"1* 41- Ain4 LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 13, 1830. The Lords of his MAJESTY'S Most Honourable Privy Council had another meeting this morning, fo r the purpose of hearing appeals remitted from the Colonies. The Lords present were the MASTER It the Rou.s, !Sir C. ROBINSON, and the Right ree. ROBERT GRANT. Despatches have been received this morning from Prance and Holland. The news of the insurrection at Warsaw, which tee give from a second edition of the Ti nes of this Morning, will be received with universal satisfaction by our readers. In political importance, as well as in the result to which it is likely to lead, we look ea this insurrection—or to give it a more appropri ate designation, this revolution—as second only in importance to the one at Paris. Should Poland Succeed in recovering her freedom, of which she was deprived by the basest combination .ever recorded it; the annals of despotism, she will at once bring i _ P rtlesia to her senses, bind Austria down in oary recognizances to keep the peace, and ' 46 up a barrier which will effectually tlieve Europe from .any apprehension of aggression " the part of Russia. For ourselves, we are con- Liently of opinion that Poland will succeed in her exertions to recover her independence. The Poles are a_aturelly a p rou d, c hi va l rous , p ersever i ng p eo pl e , as %YARROW'S dear.bought victories can attest, ar ietttly devoted to liberty, and keeping alive its flame 111 their breasts, even in the lowest depths of their degradation. Their determination, however, to be ft eeb may possibly precipitate a crisis which 'night have been retarded, but which never could eventually have been prevented. It is not Improbable that Prussia, as well as Russia, may %he an effort to preserve her share of the plunder, end that Austria may join the league; and, if so, *lieu at once to all hopes of peace in Europe. Italy, frent one extremity to the other, will rise in arms — the Rhenish provinces will rise in arms-- kletlin will demand her long promised constitution 11 °, d a hundred p e tty principalities in Germany wil °e blotted out from the list of European sovereign tke. Even distant Finland may possibly catch the contagion, and demand the restoration of those pri /ilege, which ALEXANDER'S cunning and sagacity deprived it. A few days will set these important ranters in a broader and clearer light. With regard to the French Ex-Ministers, the Prevalent opinion at Paris seems to be, that Pot.IG -4C will suffer death, and that the rest will be sentenced to perpetual banishment, or perpetual im- Phaonment. For the sake of justice we could have Wished that the guiltiest by far of these poor imbecile Creat ures, who insisted on his guards firing " in Mane s " on the people, had met with a fate better p r oportioned to his deserts than his present exemp !lea from responsibility. It is law, not justice, that has shielded him in this instance.

The advices from Calcutta to-day to the end of f 4 ogust, ment i on that there was less demand there °,t British produce. There had arrived inforsna tton from Rangoon to the effect that the British V bad bee n p u ll e d d own on the nort h ern f ront i er , dY order of the Burmese KING. No official state ,4lebt on the subject had been received, however, ro m Amerapoora. The Elitit India Company had issued a notice on 111 e Exch ange at Calcutta, that they would abandon the excl usive r i ght of growing opium in Centra l Indi a. The abandonment of the monopoly had Ryan great satisfaction in India. A t 4 meeti ng of t h e Printers of the Metropolis held on Thursday las!, fur the purpose of petition ' if %ain't the taxes on the Press, it was stated, _ttlitt by reason of those taxes, not less than 4 00 : , ° . l lipositors are now out of employment, an d t h a t, I lt hin the l as t fi ve years, :four Daily Newspapers "Illi been discontinued. These are facts which have 14 wh st rcing claim on t h e attent i on o f Mi n i st ers, in t ° se Power it i s , b y a we ll- t i me d re d uc tion of the I l ea in question, to afford the ready means of ern- P i ° Priem to hund re d s o f di stresse d f a milies in Lon_ t " al ime, besides a large number in the provincial w , I ls• Considering the Press solely as a branch 2ndust r y, and without any reference to - its higher vu arketer as the diffuser of knowledge, there are the tllost • I I n %% eighty reams for giving it the relief which If, demended in all quarters. 0 . /1 the one hand, it is right to check the igno rant clamour against - machinery by every argu►ner.t that persuasion can suggest, or authority enforce, is it consistent, on the other hand, to check the use or machinery by the clog of oppressive taxation ? And is it politic, in the disturbed temper of so many of the lower orders of this metropolis, to disregard the undeniable assertion now so frequently heard, that the taxes keep them out of the work they would otherwise get ? Surely it is time for Ministers to interfere in good earnest ; and placing, as we do, the fullest reliitoco on their acting, in office, up to the principles they have professed out of office, we have a right to expect that the Press will be one of the first brunches of industry that will receive re lief at their hands. We are enabled to state that the Government have determined on modifying the Forgery Bill' of last Session, and that capital punishment for any offences against property will not much longer dis grace our Statute Book. The Attorney-General is said to be one of the most zealous advocates of this merciure. We observe that the Courier des Pays Bas has taken umbrage at a hasty expression of ours, com paring the Belgians to the flock of a pig driver, which no &int of their conductor has been able to guide to his desired point. We trust that the in• telligent Editors of the Courier des Pays Bar have sufficient confidence in our frequently expressed warm wishes for the liberties and happittes of the Belgians, to suppose us incapable of any expression designed to prejudice them in the eyes of England. The KING of Holland may indeed be fitly compared to a pig -driver, but we did -rot intend our joke to go any farther. We direct attention to the petition from Rye, which is important, and will no doubt be read with interest. We were glad to see that Mr. LONG WEL. LESLEY, on Friday night, moved for a number of returns relative to the Clergy ; for if there is one institution which requires Reform more than another, it is the Church of England; and we call attention to this important subject, not because we are ene mies of that Church, hut because we wish to see it placed on a footing which may render it respected by the people, and beneficial to the interests of society. The return, however, is in one instance incomplete—as regards pluralities. That is a point of no minor consideration, and we trust the defect will be remedied. The chief defects of the present system may be classed under four heads—tithes' absenteeism, pluralities, and unequal distribution of Church property, and these have reached such a height, and excited in many quarters such loud com plaints, as to call imperiously on every friend of the Church—every individual who wishes to see her placed on a sure foundation—to come forward and lend his assistance in renovating the fabric. In making these remarks, we have no wish to eavocate any change which shall deprive the Church of her income, or introduce a levelling system. The great complaint is, that while a certain class receive enormous incomes, the hard-working and only use ful Clergy have barely the means of subsistence. Out of the whole Church of England, nearly 3,000 of the officiating Clergy have incomes of less than 100/. a-year, and one half these have not more than 45/. ii-year, while others have thousands and tens of thousands for performing less duty, and not unfrequently no duty at all ; this however is not the only evil as regards the Clergy themselves, for it ap pears from documents that cannot be doubted, that a very large proportion of the incumbents do not even reside in their parishes, and it is well known that many who hold several livings at the came time do not visit their parishes fiom one end of the year to the other. By a return made to the Privy Council for the year 1827, it appears that there are no less than 2,496 livings under 3001. a year, and 1,223 above 3001., where the incumbents are non-resident—mak ing a total of 3,719 non-resident Clergy. It is easy to conceive what a prejudice must be raised against this class in the minds of the tithe-payers, when they find that the duty is performed fur 40/., 501, or 601, while nearly the whole of the tithes go to those who perform no duty at all. We have not seen any direct return of the number of pluralities ; but it is reasonable to infer, from the number of non residents, that it must be very considerable. The great bane, however, of the English Church is, the mode of paying the Clergy—a mode we say without hesitation the most effectual that ever was devised for alienating the flocks from their pastors, increasing dissention, and sapping the foundation of the Church. It is quite impossible for a clergyman of the established Church to come in competition with a dissenting minister while such a system lasts, because the mode of collecting the tithes naturally renders him rather an object of dislike than of love and esteem, and the dislike is still farther increased by the recollection that though the tithes are se t apart as a remuneration for his services, he still has the power of demanding additional pay for certain duties which by the law of the land he alone can perform. Some years ago a law was passed for the composi tion of tithes in Ireland, and the Archbishop of CANTERDURY last Session obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the same purpose in England, but this does not go at all to the root of the evil. The de fect is, that the composition is to be made with the tenant of any property—the small farmer, and often the half-starved peasant, while it ought to be made with the landlord himself; and as the payment of tithes must eventually fall on the landlord, it is only agreeable to common sense and common justice that they should be paid by him in the first instance with out subjecting those under him to endliss annoyance or unceasing warfare with the clergymen. A clergy man, to be useful, must have the esteem and love of his parishioners—affections which are as incom patible with tithes and proctors, and first fruits, and Easter offerings, as light is incompatible with dark ness, or righteousness with iniquity. The first and paramount object oft he friends of the Church in Parlia ment is to abolish the system of tithes by introducing a Composition Act, which shall compel the land lord, and not the tenants, to pay the stipends of the Clergy. There are, no doubt, numerous difficulties to be overcome, and probably, in some cases, the incumbents might be losers in the first instance; but for what they might lose in money they would be imply repaid by the regard and love of their parishioners, and by the satisfaction of having re stored between pastors and people that harmony and mutual good feeling which are not only necessary for their own interests, but for the safety of the Church, and the well-being of the community. Let an experiment be made, for instance, in some of the maritime counties, where the averages have been struck for many years—let returns be made out for each parish, of the quantity of all kind of grain which has been the portion of the clergyman for a certain period, and let that be the amount to be paid to him in future: this amount to be paid by the landowner, not in kind, b►tt in money, ' varying each year, according to the fluctuation of the averages. All claims for tithes from land that has never been in cultivation, ought at once to be abolished, unless an understanding is come to that the clergyman is to share the expense, and ►un the risic,of loss as well as the tenant. We have not leisure at present to enter more into detail, but shall lose no opportunity in future of reverting to the subject, because the defrets of the system arc so dangerous, and the excitement which it produces in agricultural counties against the Church is so ardent, that we regard it as the i►sperative duty of Parliament to lose no time in taking the subject into their most serious cons;deration. The Clergy would he the first to feel the benefit of a change, and for their own sakes, therefore, we should be glad to hear of petitions from every diocese in England calling. on Parliament to remove this cause of dis sension, and that odium and reproach which it has so long entailed on the Church. Were such a change effected—were the smaller livings increased, and the Clergy more punctual in performing the duties themselves, they might yet defy the power of the Dissenters, and silence those enemies who call them, " dumb dogs that cannot bark—greedy dogs that never can have enough—shepherds that cannot understand—all looking to their own way, and every one for his gain from his quarter." THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVI O'CLOCK. We have a great number of ship letters this morning ; al.° a Jamaica mail, which sailed on the 4th November. (From the Baltimore Papers, received this morning, to the 17th Norember.) The New Orleans Bee mentions the receipt of Vera Cruz Papers to the 12th October. Guerrero has been summoned by the Attorney-General of Morelia to appear within thirty days, to take his trial on an accusation of resistance to the supreme authority, under penalty of be ing condemned as a rebel by a Court-martial. Tranquillity is not yet re-established, and bands continue to infest the country. It is supposed that Guerrero is with them. A conspiracy has been discovered at Puebla. The two chief conspirators have been arrested. Victoria, who was condemned to death, has escaped. They write from Brussels that Mr. Cartwright is going to the German Diet, where the Belgian affairs are to be discussed. From the French array in Africa, bivouac on the Atlas, Nov. 23:--" We have entered Mediah since yesterday evening, and were well received ; the civil and religious authorities came to meet the General-in• Chief; a garrison is to be left in Medial], also at Blida. The ancient Bey has decided to give himself up to the Commander-in- Chief, and he is expected to arrive this evening." Ltvxitroot, Dec. 11.—The import of cotton this week is 2,078 bags, and the sales are 9,740 bags, at a decline of id. per lb. In sugar 850 hhds. British plantation have been sold this week at rather lower rates. (From the Jamaica Courant of the 3d November.) By the packet from Carthagena we learn that matters were assuming a settled aspect in Colombia. Bolivar had not been appointed to any civil authority, but it seemed to be the universal feeling that no time should be lost in re-investing him with aupteme command. Much anxiety was felt at Carthagena for intelligence from Bin !facile, as 900 troupe had left Santa Martha on the 14th instant for that place. The head-quarters of General Bolivar were at Solidad, near Baranguella. We have not been able to ascertain whether General Paez and the Venexuleans are disposed to join in the general federation or not. At Bogota an order had been issued to go into mourning for his late Ikitajesty George IV. THZ ',mins. The information in our city article of Friday last of a revolution at Warsaw, and that the Archduke Conatan• tine had been obliged] to leave, is fully confirmed this morning, and in consequence of which the Funds have fallen. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 82ii for the Account, opened this morning at At present they are 821 i, with little doing. It is much feared that the Poles will not be ab►e to maintain their independence, and that a great deal of blood will flow in that unfortunate country. In the Foreign market Rusrian Bonds have spin fallen about 2 or S per cent. swing to the revolution in Poland ; they are now 88 to 90. ItALF-PAST ONE. Calcutta Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 25th of August, but they are not of importance. From the Calcutta paper of the 22d of August, we learn with satisfaction that Ukelote has surrendered on the terms offered him ; they are to give up the Chokra Rajah and the fort. On the 24th August, Ensign Marshal, of his Majesty's 46th Regiment, shot Captain Leith, of the same regiment, iu a duel. It is reported by accounts from Lisbon of the 25th ult. that a most extensive conspiracy has been detected there, and that a hundred persons have been arrested. By private letters this morning from Paris, great fear is entertained that some disturbances will take pace in the above capital during the trials of the Ex-Ministers, to prevent which measures are being taken by the Govern ment. Money is becoming very scarce at Paris, and the people who can obtain gold are hoarding it up. Consols have remained steady most part of the morning at 821 tor the Account. The speculators and jobbers are waiting for further details of the Polish insurrection. In the Foreign Market there has been a reaction in Russian Stock, and they have been done at 87 to 89 ; at present they are 89 to 90. THREE O'CLOCK Consols for the Account 821 1. About four o'clock in the afternoon of Fri day, a fire took place at Newby Ball, Lord Grantham's seat, Yorkshire. As fires are at present so prevalent, and every one is attributed to incendiaries, we have authority fur stating that the fire in question was of a trifling de scription, having broken out in a flue near the statue gallery, and which was in a very short time subdued. The d image done was inconsiderable. On the first report of the fire, the people of the neighbourhood, and from the town of Ripon, of all cla'ses came in numbers, and heartily and strenuously assisted in extinguishing the flames. Count A. DEMIDOFF has just imported to Paris five splendid carriages from London. The Count has also imported into France several valuable horses— Navarin, Logic, &c., at the cost of 5,000 guineas. Admiral Sir GEORGE COCRUURN, one of the Members for this borough, and late a Lord Commis. sinner of the Admiralty, has visited Plymouth during the week. Report states that the Gallant Admiral will suc ceed Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM in the command of . the Mediterranean fleet.—.Devenport Paper. Orders have been issued for the Royal House. hold to prepare for returning to the Pavilion on Thursday next. It is not thought, however, that their Marearits will remain long at Brighton, and on leaving it they are expected to take up their residence at Windsor Castle. Her Royal Highness the Duchess de BERRI arrived on Tuesday forenoon at Holyrood• house, from London. Her Royal Highness is to possess a house in Regent-terrace, Calton-hill. Marshal HOCH/40NT has been at Holyrood for these some days.—Edinhargh Courant. It may not be amiss to state, that Christmas flay this year falling on a Saturday, and Friday being a blank post-day, all bills falling due on the Sunday, Monday , or Tuesday following, must be advised on the preceding Thursday at the latest. We bear that several farmers in the county of Hereford have of their own accord destroyed their thrash ing machines. This is an act of folly which we hope no farmer in this county will be guilty of. It shows a spirit of cowardice, which the incendiaries will not fail to take advantage (A.—Monmouthshire Merlin. The number of letters received from India this morning was so very considerable, in addition to the arrival of a mail from Jamaica, that the letter-carriers could not be despatched from the General Post-office until an hour later than usual. BRIGHTON, DEC. 12.—Information Was re ceived at the Pavilion this mornin, that their Ma.resTrits will arrive here on Friday next, to the inexpressible de. light of all ranks of society. It is so decided that Miss FrrzcLaastymies marriage with Lord FALKLAND will take place at the Pavilion, immediately after the holidays. A letter from Manchester, dated Saturday, says—" I do not think there is Any thing remarkable in the present state of relations here between master and men. Timid people are alarmed at the idea of the spinners at Ashton being all out; but the contest differs not from others which have been peaceable." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE--(THIS.DAY.Y . . FROM LLOYD'S.

The following is the draught of a petition in eourae of signature : TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KING DuM, ege. kr. &r. 44 THE PETITION OF THE UNDERSIGNED HOUSE. HOLDERS AND RA FE-PAYERS OF THE TOWN AND PORT OF RYE, IN FM COUNTY OF SUS SEX . " Humbly Showeth—That the obscurity natural to cor ruption, and the guilty collusion of artful, and often pow erful accomplices, have so shrouded the prevailing venality in the representation to Rirliament, that the laws for the ostensible preservation of this greatest of evils have hitherto been of no useful avail. " That, as your petitioners have been peculiar sufferers under this shameful and ruinous abuse, they proportion ately rejoice on the accession to the Government of a Mi nistry pledged to the repression of it. That under these circumstances, considering that in. formation tending to elucidate the subject may be of use towards guiding the Legislature in the great remedial mea sures about to he entertained, your petitioners respectfully reprepent, that should your Honourable House deem tit is your wisdom to pass a Bill of Indemnity for the examina tion of Accomplice witnesses—they (your petitioners) engage to prove at your bar, " That the two seats in Parliament for this town and port of Rye have been regularly, for rrany years past, sold or bartered for money, or other valuable considerations, sod that there are at present eleven individuals, either be• longing to the Established Churc ,, , or Members of either branch of the Legislature, who have been convened as principals in these foul and unlawful bargains ; from whence now, as a consequence, such grievous local as well as general oppression, misery, and distress throughout the Empire. " That though these high infringements of the liberties and privileges of Parliament and the people are as noto rious as the sun at noonday, and though some of the per sons actually implicated have not hesitated occasionally to disclose in private the amount even of the sums they have paid fur nominally representing this town in your Ho nourable. House, there is, according to the framing of the existing laws, no probable method whatever of effecting a full exposition of those offences but that which we respect. fully suggest ; and " That should your Honourable House deem it meet to adopt the same, it will be the means of bringing to light a series of curious, deplorable, and flagrant details, exem plifying conspicuously the character of the evil and the urgent necessity of its removsl—detaile, the exposure of which would, your petitioners therefore humbly conceive, be of material benefit at the present juncture, to the public interests. " And your petitioners shell ever pray, &c." Some erroneous statements having found their way into the newspapers, relative to appointments made by the present Loan CtrancxEr.on, we think it right to make it known that Mr. Dvxer,v, the lion. Mr. Scorn, Mr. LOWDHAM, and Mr. flAtnrs, have not been ,arses appointed to their several situations, but have been re. tamed by his Lordship in the places which they before enjoyed. As to Mr. LE MERCHANT, who has been no minated Chief Secretary, we can confidently assert tl►at he was never even seen by the Loan CHANCELLOR until he cattle to thank hint for h►s appointment, having been recommended at a most respectable barrister, and one well qualified for the place. It is equally certain that no person related to the LORD CHANCELLOR., either by blood or marriage, has received any appointment from hint— both his brothers having declined to accept any oflice, as they did under Mr. CANNING.—Morning Hler•ald. Such was the scarcity of votes on .the last day of the Liverpool election, that many were brought up which had been recorded in the beginning of the contest, and names were tendered whose owners had been in the grave for the space of ►even years. Recruits of .01 sorts, far-fetched, and mast likely dearly bought, were placed at the bar, transported from 114 Bath, London, anti %Orlin ; and the number of uneound votes rejected on account of pauperism or fraud showed the shifts which had been re sorted to. One of the )wart part), in the course of the morning, complained to the Mayor that the Deniaoniano, having been unable to obtain troops of their own, had com mitted violence on the men under the Ulm, co l our s, and actually stolen two of their most independent voters ! One man, who was ill, and unable to ►tand, was brought to the hustings in a sedan chair ; his vote was received, although the opposite party (ant without reeiorn) strongly contended that it was invalid I.—Alarnin9 Paper COURT CMCUL AR.

Ladies and Gentlemen,-win retiring from the management of this theatre, I have been refpleSted, on the part of Menne: Melrose and Chapman, to offer a few remarks, previous to the final fall (lithe curtain. This:property, by their united exertions, and the high patronage bestowed upon them, lute been rescued from positive oblivion and nothingness, to rank with the first dramatic establishments of the day. They ate now, by a legal quibble, deprived of their establishment, and what they had fondly cherished as their future home-sand black ingratitude stares them in the face, after all their toil, cares, persecutions, and prosecutions. I will not trespass Snarler on the subject, but refer to a statement of facts, annexed to the play-bills of this &hi which'inay be had gratuitously of the doorkeeper. In proof that they have endeavoured to merit the high patronage with which they hare been honoured, the various productiond at this theette will affbrd ample testimony. Witness 2'he Field of Forty AcAvt.. step, Barber qt* Oup lifaanerikg, Fra Utopia, with many others, that have ranked equally high. In arknowledgrnent of the brilliant talent that has been produced on them boards, the present elegant and crowded auditory speaks in terms of appro. Within, most poweend and unequiVocal. In short, since Madame Vestris has honoured us, by her splendid abilities, the attraction of nightly crowds will bear me out In the assertion, that a libeeil British public will support talent, even In a aut.:hell. • Madame has requested me to oiler her best acknowledgements for the kind support she has received upon all (mephitis, and although she has made her final exit from this stage, she hopes, ere many days shall paw, to be greeted by your smiles and patronage' on her entree at her (nun theatre. Messrs. Melrose and Chaptroan beg me to otter for ail Past favours their most sincere and heurtsfelt gratitude, with the assurance that, while memory holds ,its seat within the tablet (lithe brain,' it shall never lie forgotten. —For myself, Ladies and Gentlemen, words art too poor—tais weak—to express my feelings on the present occasion. I have never yet made an appeal but it was ever received with the greatest indulgence, and has made an Impression on my heart, not easily to be erased. For your kind support and general ap. probation with which the performers have been honoured, I sin requested to submit their sincerest thanks.—The gentlemen composing the orchestra, whose abilities have been the theme of general admiration, also request not tube forgotten in this, our public tribute—And now, Ladles and Gentlemen, nothing more remains, but the fervent hope that every blessing may attend each Individual here, as I breathe out for ono and Aell, the Ltd regretful, painfld words-:Farewelll" .
