DLOOMFIELD ALIAS D. SMITH This town and neighbourhood have this week liteeti honoured with the visit of a person calling `himself Dr. Bloomfield, of Clifton, who wears the garb of a gentleman, and whose practice would, no doubt, have been extensive, had not urgent neces sity obliged him to leave somewhat abruptly. It scorns that this gentleman rides, a milk-white poavy, is dressed in black, his hair powdered, a broad gold ring upon his finger, a bunch of seals, with all the other decorations of a man of fashion, sur mounted by a beaver, twisted and ended, d to mode de Paris. On Tuesday he called at the cottage of a labouring man named Lacy, in the parish of Llanvihangel Torytnynydd, in this county, and learning that the poor man's wife was in an ill state of health, he very kindly offered to part with two bottles of an invaluable medicine (four bottles of -which he fortunately bed with him, intended for II lady he was going to see, ) one he generously made the poor man a present of, the cost of the other to be 12s. 6d. The husband, anxious fer the recovery of his faithful helpmate, counted out 12s. 6d. of his hard earnings, and a quart bottle being procured, two half pint bottles were emptied of the precious tompoultd, and particular directions given that the patient should take one tea-spoonfull every four hours, in about a wine glass full of dandelion and voltsfoot tea. Mistrustful of its virtues, the poor Iran and his brother-in law trudged over to Moir mouth the next day, to show the physic to a drug gist, and finding that it was nothing but the mixture of a Doctor Humbug, they brought the medicine and the complaint to cut office, that we might " put the impostor in the news." Of what ingre dients, gentle reader, do you think this valuable mixture Was composed ? About one penny-worth of tincture of Benzoin, to a pint of aqua pumpaginis.' In the afternoon of Tuesday, the Doctor took up quar ters at the King's Head Inn, in this town, where he made himself very agreeable, and where, as every gentleman fregnenting that house is sure to be, he VMS hospitably entertained by the worthy host, and our gentleman enjoyed himself much. While at the King's Head, a hatter of the town was ushered into the presence of the doctor of medicine, and a new hat which the latter had brought with him, was handed over to have a more fashionable curl put to it, (which, as the sequel will show, he omitted to pay for.) Unluckily for Dr. Bloomfield, he was re cognized at the White Swan, where he ventured to call in for a glass of spirits and water, on Tuesday evening, (after inquiring of a person opposite, how long the people had lived at the house, and being wrongly told, about twelve months,) as the identical. Doctor Smith, who had been there about four years ago with a pair of white ponies and aced livery servant—the said Doctor Smith having, one morning after breakfast, gone out for a tide, and never returned to partake of a good and substantial dinner which he had ordered to be put on the table at four o'clock precisely. P es t ere d afterwards at the King's Head by applications from the White Swan, for sundry items of account un discharged by Dr. Smith four years ago, Dr. Bloom field evaded the matter that night, honourably dis charged his bill on going to bed, and in the morn ing, observing to the ostler, to whom he gave di rections to look out for another poney for him, as he should want one for three days, while his own rested, that there must be a very fine view from the hill in sight, (the Kymin) felt an inclination to ride so far before breakfast, and has not been seen since, leaving ostler, chambermaid, and hatter unpaid, and the White Swan account in abeyance.—Monmouth. shire Merlin. THE LATE THOMAS BEWICK. If we are rightly informed, this eminent artist was, for some time before his decease, employed in writing his own memoirs, which he intended to be a posthumous publication ; and, to give it additional value, the work was to be embellished by portraits of many of his friends, especially such as had been remarkable for anything parti ., eular its their character or the circumstances of their lives, the engravings on wood to be exe cuted by himself. There is no doubt that the work, if completed, would be extemely valuable, not only as an accession to the general literature of the country, but also on account of its local reminiscenses. Mr. Bewick possessed a strong mind and a peculiarly retentive memory. That he made considerable progress in the undertak ing is positively asserted by some of his friends, and it is believed that he had finished it. We, therefore, feel anxious to know why the publica tion has not taken place, or whether it is ine tended to he given to the world. If it has been entirely suppressed, there ought to be some strong motives to justify a proceeding contrary to the intentions and wishes of the author. But we hope that its appearance is merely postponed, in deference to some feelings of delicacy, per haps, to living individuals. The genius of Mr. Bewick was public property, and the public have a right to feel an interest in the productions of his mind. It would be a pity if any of his works should be lost from over refinement`of feeling or mere fastidiousness of criticism.— Northern John Bull. ANIMALCULES. Animalcules have been discovered, whose mag vitude is such, that a million of them does not exceed the bulk of a grain of sand ; and yet each of these creatures is composed of members as curiously organised as those of the largest species ; they have life and spontaneous motion, and are endued with sense and instinct. In the liquids in which they live, they are observed to move with astonishing speed and activity ; nor are their motions blind and fortuitous, but evi dently governed by choice, and directed to an end. They use food and drink, from which they derive nutrition, and are therefore furnished with a digestive apparatus. They have great muscular power, and are furnished with limbs and muscles of strength and flexibility. They are susceptible of the same appetites, and obnox ious to the same passions, the gratification of which is attended with the same results as in our own species. Spallanzani observes, that certain aulibalculea devour others so voraciously, that they fatten and become insolent and sluggish by over-feeding. After a meal of this kind, if they be confined in distilled water, so as to be deprived of all food, their condition becomes reduced ; they rain their spirit and activity, and amuse themselves in the pursuit of the more minute animals which are supplied to them ; they swallow these without depriving them of life, for, by the aid of the microscope, the one has been observed moving within the body of the other. These singular appearances are not mat ters of idle and curious observation ; they lead us to inquire what parts are necessary to produce such results. Must we not conclude that these creatures have heart, arteries, veins, muscles, sinews, tendons, nerves, circulating fluids, and all the concomitant apparatus of a living orga nized body ? And if so, how inconceivably minute must those parts be ! If a globule of their blood bears the same proportion to their whole bulk as a globule of our blood bears to our magni tude, what powet . s f .4, calcul a ti on can g i ve an adequate notion - Of iti minuteness ?—Dr. Lard ner s Cabinet Cydopcedia. On Thursday last Mr. PETER COMYN, whose cue excited some interest in this neighbourhood, was executed at Ennis. His crime was setting fire to a house. —lrish Paper.

HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH. " 'Windsor Castle, May 3. " The Kixis has suffered much by a want of sleep, nevertheless his MAJestes symptoms are mitigated this morning. (Signer!) " HENRY HALFORD, " MA FTHEW JOHN TIERNEY." Copies of the above Bulletin were forwarded from Downing-street to the Duke of CLARENCE at Bushey, and also to the different branches of the Royal Family. A Cabinet Council, which was attended by nearly all the Ministers, was held at the Foreign Office this afternoon at three o'clock. The. Russian squadron, consisting of eight ships, passed through the Downs on Saturday for the North Sea, on its return from the Me , diterranean. We understand that Count LUDOLF, the Sicilian Ambassador, with the Countess, will leave London to-morrow morning for Paris, in order to meet his Sicilian MAJESTY in that capital. We may infer that the present session of Parliament will shortly terminate, from the cir cumstance of the Duke of WELLINGTON having ordered Walmer Castle, which is now being re paired and painted, to be got ready for his Grace's reception by the end of May. The following are extracts from the French Papers of Friday and Saturday, together with some correspondence PARIS, MAY I.—Two of the Paris Papers of this morning, Le Globe and La Nouvelle France, contain an announcement, ex pressed in terms so positive dnd categorical, and printed in so Conspicuous a forms as tb tteatC d vtr , attong Sensation In this capital; In La Is'oueelle France, a Paper better known by its second title Le _Nouveau Journal de Paris, the statement stands as follows : ~ MORT DU ROI D'ANGLETERRE " Un Courrier est arrive a Paris a trois heures, apportant la Nouvelle de la mart de Georges IV. " M. tie Polignac a ere mantle immediatement au chateau." The early hour at which the Morning Papers are published forbids the supposition of such a report having been put in cir culation for mere stock-jobbing purposes, since its speedy con tradiction must have neutralized its success; but with whatever view contrived it has had the effect of throwing all our English p pulation into that state of nervous agitation and alarm which makes the forebodings of an apprehended evil less endurable than its actual presence. Nor need I add that the unnatural, the parricidal exultation of those who see nothing in the demise of a beloved Monarch but the hopeless chance of a change in the Councils of the Crown, and the return to power of an intolerant and expiring faction, is anything but consolatary under the feel ings of oppression produced by so painful a presentiment. Another piece of intelligence reached Paris this morning, which is probably better founded in fact, and which, as an article of French news, is of moreimmediate interest to the native inha • bitants, since it would infer the utter hopelessness, at this ad vanced season of the year, of adding such reinforcements to the African expedition as are now said to be necessary to insure its success It is confidently stated that despatches have been re ceived by General Bourmont, on his journey to Toulon, or im mediately after his arrival, announcing to him that a treaty of al liance, offensive and defensive, had been concluded between all the Barbary Powers—Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, and that the Commander-in-Chief has in consequence demanded of his colleagues in the Ministry a reinforcement of not less than 20,000 men. It was announced in last night's Gazette, and has been re-echoed to-day by all the Morning Papers, that the whole expeditionary army would be assembled in cantonments on Tues day next, the 4th inst.. and that such was the perfection of the arrangements for embarkation, that the fleet would set sail within two days afterwards; but if there be any truth in the in. telligence I have just communicated, it is very clear that the best part, if not the whole of the season, will be lost in providing the very great additional force which is said to be required by General Bourmont. the Augsburg Gazette of the 25th inst. contains the follow ing protocol of the conference held at the Foreign-office, London, Feb. 4, 1830 :—" Pre ent : The plenipotentiaries of France, Great Britain, and Russia. The conference having continued its deliberations on the execution of the stipulations contained in the protocol No. 1, of this day, devoted its attention to the choice of the Sovereign to be given to Greece. The Plenipotentiaries of the three Courts considered that among the persons who particu larly recommended themselves to the choice of the Alliance by their personal qualifications and by their situation in society, Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg prese.,ted to Greece, and to all Europe, every possible guarantee; that from the information collected hitherto, there was every reason to think that the Greeks would receive him with gratitude for their Sovereign. Prince Leopold is not a member of the Royal family now reign. ing in England; he is not qualified to be called to succeed to the Crown, consequently the Prince of Saxe Coburg is not within the case of exclusion, which is provided against in the proto col of the 22d of March. Husband of the Princess, daughter of . . the King, he has been assimilated, by an Act of Parliament, to the Royal family in regard to honours; but it has been acknowledged and confirmed by the explanations given by the Government of his Britannic majesty, that Prince Leopold is not a Peer of the Realm, that he has never had a seat in Parliament, and that since the catastrophe which dissolved the ties that bound him to England, he has not exercised any public function there. In his pecuniary situation, created by the treaty of marriage, a treaty which is sacred by its nature, and con finned by an Act of Parliament, Prince Leopold finds himself wholly independent :whatever events may occur. The Plenipo tentiary of France, those of Great Britain and Russia, then de clared that they gave the votes of their Courts in favour of Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, and they agreed to draw up jointly a note destined tosoffer to him, upon the terms and conditions stated in the Protocols No. 1,2, and 8, of this date, the government of the new Greek State, with the title of Sovereign Prince of Greece, to be hereditary to his descendants. The protocols of this day shall be committed to Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, and the Prince shall be invited to give his consent to them.— No. 3, Protocol of the Conference held at the Foreign Office, Feb. 4, 1830. Present—The Plenipotentiaries of France, Great Britain, and Russia. Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg haying been called, by the Joint suffrage of the three Courts of the Alliance to the Sovereignty of Greece, the Plenipotentiary of France called the attention of the Conference to the peculiar situation in which his Government was placed with regard to a part of the Greek population. He represented that for several centuries past, France had exercised, in behalf of the Catholics subject to the Sultan a special protection, which his Most Christian Majesty thinks it his duty now to place to-day in the hands of the future Sovereign of Greece, as far as it concerns the provinces which are to compose the new State. But in resigning this prerogative, his Most Christian Majesty owes it to himself, and to a population which has lived so long under the protection of his ancestors, to require that the Catholics of the Continent and the Isles may find, in the organization about to be given to Greece, a guarantee capable of supplying the influence which France has hitherto exercised in their favour. The Plenipotentiaries of Russia and Great Britain acknowledged the justice of this demand, and it was ordered that the Catholic religion should enjoy in the new State the free and public exercise of its worship,—that its pro perty shall be guaranteed,—that the Bishops should be main tained in the integrity of the functions, rights, and privileges they have enjoyed under the patronage of the Kings of France; and. finally, that on the same principle, the property belonging to the old French missions, or French establishments, should be acknowledged and respected. The Plenipotentiaries of the three Allied Powers, wishing moreover to give to Greece a new proof of the benevolent solicitude of the Sovereigns towards her, and save the country from the ills which n riralry a the ditP.:tent religion. thqt. Itre Professed in (,reece might create; agreed that all the subjects of the new State, of whatever religiou they m i g h t be, should he admi ss ibl e t o a ll public employments;: • functions, and honours, and treated upon tile footing of 'perfeet.equality, without any regard to difference of creed; in all their religiour, civil, orlolitial 7.',..E.6hac has the following :--‘' After our statement as to the sentiments of Prince Leopold of Saxe-Cpburg, the world will not be surprised to learn, that during his stay:in Paris he de clined receiving the visit of such Greeks Al- presented themselves with that view. }laving hesiltited aceeptii* the otiei..eigilty of. fered to him, he liathral4y postno as 'e tißu the re:- straint iil+poed by its tUrrmtlities. I•evertheless, to do away as Much as possible with the appearance of offence which this re fusal to receive them might present, he addressed a letter before he quitted Paris, to Prince Soutzo, desiring him to express his regret at not having seen them, and ern seating him, as Ambas sador of the future Ki ng of Greece to the Court of Charles X. to receive them. EVery Greek in Paris not having gone to visit the Pei.' Ringi hnd no list dr those td be!ne left !ichind by Prince Leopold, Prince Soutzo is at a loss now to find them out. Will he apply to Prince Leopold for a list of all the Greeks who called upon him ? For our own parts, we see no other way of attaining the proposed object than by publishing the apology of the Prince and the embarrassment of the Ambassador in the journals." (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) FRANRFQRT, APRIL 23,—The Germanic Diet, on the 241 of April; the last thy of its mectiii beftirt , Ptitet - ,,tiolyttrhed the decree, Which peremptorily enjoins tile Duke of BrtinSiVick to conform, within the space of fimr weeks, to the former decrees of ha Assembly. The time expires at the end of this week. Nothing that has yet transpired gives reason to believe that this Sovereign, by some favourable concession, will spare th e Confe deration being obliged to have recotirse to coercive measnres to subtitle One Of its refractory members, and to maintain Msa the authority of the Congress by which it is represented. The Saxon troops employed to execute the decision of the Diet are ready to march. The King of Saxony has, however, again written in very affectionate terms to the Duke of Brunswick, to endeavour once more to bring about a reconciliation. We heili froth . very gotid euthority,. that in a despatch the PlenipOtentiary of the Grand Ducal Hesse has transmitted to the Commission, he states that the intentions of the French Government do not appear to be very sincere in endeavouring to obtain a definitive arrangement. On the contrary, this diplo matist gives them to understand that, to favour the commerce of Havre with Germany by the Upper Rhine, this Govern ment appear to take particular interest in complicating and put ting offas much as possible tile decision of the:question.--- Temps. (From Gtilignani's Messenger of Saturday.) The Journal du C'onMeree of this inornink giVes the following as a Postscript, eleven o'clock at night We are assured that, on his arrival at Toulon, the Count de Bourmont received de spatches announcing the conclusion of an alliance, offensive and defensive, between the whole of the Barbary Powers, viz. Mo rocco, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli. The Count has, in conse quence, demanded a reinforcement of 20,000 men." The National of this morning has the tbilowing :—" The nego ciations at Paris on the affairs of Greene, iblticli hate just been interrupted by the departure of Prince Leopold, were of a very simple nature. Depart for Greece! depart ! said they to his Royal Highness; if the provisional state continues, the country will be exposed to new calamities. But all this was in vain. The Prince entered into no conference even with Prince Soittzo, the future Minister of Greece at Paris, nor with Lord Stuart de Rothesay or Ciiiint Potto di forgo. Ito signified to these Ambassadors, that if they had any thing to communicate, they were to do it by writing. They could obtain from him no other answer. The two Ministers then thought they should find powerful support in Prince Polignac ; but the Prime Minister could de vise no other means of inducing the future Sovereign of Greece to depart than that of sending him a Marshal of France with the offer of a guarantee for a loan, and of the advance of n sum of ready money, which, as is well knoWn, Were thought insufficient by the Prince. We have just learned upon good authority, that, after having allowed the Prince to depart without subscribing to the conditions which he proposed, a courier was sent to an nounce to him that they were accepted. Thus the negociations • are said to have been resumed a moment after they had been broken off, and we are on the point of bringing about the result desired by the three PoWets." The Temps of this morning says, " The conditions prOpOseti by Prince Leopold previous to his acceptance of the Throne of Greece have been acceded to, and the means he deemed ne cessary for effecting the political organization of his new kingdom will be placed in his hands. It has' at length been decided, at a conference in London, that the three Powers will guarantee a loan of 60,000,0001 r., to be nego elated in the name of the Prince as Sovereign of Greece. Thus the fate of Greece is at length daided, The information, we have obtained upon the views of the Prince confirms us in our opinion, that a mild and paternal, but, at the same time, a firm and enlightened administration, is about to give strength and consistency to the work of peace and union commenced by Count Capo d'lstria. This certainty of ultimate success will redouble the strength of the Count, and it is with satisfaction we are enabled to affirm that by no one are his services and his devoted endeavours more fully appreciated than by the Prince, to the accomplishment of whose loyal deSires he devotes him self without reserve. The mediating Powers have made it a condition of their guarantee, that the product of the loan shall be exclusively appropriated to the expellees neces sarily required for the organization of Greece, such as the formation of ports and fortifications, the arming and equip ment of troops, the foUntlation of schools, and the estab blishment of communications. It is expressly interdicted that any part of it shall be employed in the payment of the old Greek loan, Whin is td be ptdvidCd for by such other means as the Government shall consider expedient. No arrangement, how ever, for this purpose will be made until the Sovereign shall have have arrived in his new States, an 4 be able to form his own judgment as to the resources of the country. Being resolved to fulfil strictly every engagement he enters into, he will bind him self to none without the most mature consideration " Lord Cunningham, Secretary of Legation to the British Em bassy at Berlin, was sent off from thence to London, on the 22d ult., with dispatches for the Duke of Wellington. His Lordship travels with the utmost speed. A vessel, that left the port of St. Maria, in the island of Madagascar, on the 14th of January, and recently arrived at Havre, brings the following intelligence On the 12th, M. Barayon, Governor of St. Maria, was informed by the officer who commanded at Tintinque, a point in the island where a detach ment of only twenty-five men had been left, that the Ovas were preparing to attack his post, and that however small his number were to encounter a multitude of the natives, he was deter mined to make the most obstinate resistance. In the last attack from our (the French) ships on Point Lara, nearly 2,000 cannon-balls were fired before the Ovas were completely defeated. But what leads to a belief that this war, hitherto considered as mere skirmishing, will not be easily brought to a close, is the rapidity with which the natives recover from their defeats, and hurry back to battle ' in spite of treaties and the oaths by which they have bound themselves. Fifteen days after the destruction of Forts Tamatave and Foul Point, their batteries were restored, and placed in a condition to oppose our troops with greater effect than in the first attack. When the frigate Terpsichore left Madagascar for Bourbon, she had on board a Deputy funn the Ovas commissioned to sign in the name of his Sovereign the treaty of Amity as soon as it was ratified by the Governor. The Terpsichore also brought back the troops else had landed at Madagascar. But the Captain of this frigate, who is at the same time Commander-in-Chief of the expedition, will he greatly astonished on his return at finding the war again broken out ; and his situation will be the more critical, in con sequence of his having left his troops at Bourbon, whither he must retrace his steps to bring them back again, if he intends to accomplish the task he has been charged with—of compelling the Ovas to restore our ancient possessions." We extract the following from a letter, dated Petersburgh, April 8 At the beginning of this week, three officers of the Emperor's Staff were sent off to the army of the Caucasus. They are supposed to be the bearers of important despatches to Field Marshal Paskewitsch Erivanskey. Since their departure it has been reported that the Porte will cede Erzeroum, with its ter. ritories, in lieu of a portion of the Indemnity, and that the mis sion of the three officers relates to the taking permanent posses sion of that city." The following intelligence from the frontiers of Servia, is dated the 10th ult. " The rejection of the Protocols of London by the Sultan seems certain. Although we have no fears for the inde pendence of Greece, we cannot consider the war between her and her oppressors as absolutely at an end. The fortresses in Negropont, Caristo, and Athens, are still in the hands of the Turks, and if it should become necessary to expel them by force, it will not be without the loss of torrents of blood. This obsti nacy on the part of the Porte is attributed to a desire to re strain the European Cabinets from making further exactions. It is chiefly the cession of Candia that the Turks wish to avoid, and yet, though not immediately required, it must necessarily be given up at some future period. The Isle of Candia will always be an apple of discord between the Turks and the new State, and to end the dispute it must ultimately be given to Greece." The following is an extract of a private letter of the 20th ult. from Madrid:—" The efforts for improving the credit of our Go vernment, by Decrees, are not discontinued; for M. Ballasteros feels every day more and more the urgent necessity of finding money to meet the many claims on the Treasury. Among his projects - is a new Decree, which will direct that the Royal Vales, which the bearers presented hitherto annually for re newal, are to be presented in future only every third year. Con sequently the present form of these documents will be altered, and to the Vales will be added six dividends, each of which is to re present the interest due for the half year. By this means trans actions will be rendered mere easy; for they may be carried on, not only by the Vales, as practised hitherto, but also by the dividends, which may be negotiated separately. The pro. duct of the Excise having rather increased, some persons con clude that Don Philip Riera, the person who farms these duties, will derive great benefit from it, and be encouraged to contract for other branches of the revenue of the State—a favourite scheme of our Minister of Finances. However, persons versed in these affairs are of opinion that the excise, by the serious in convenience and vexation attending its collection, will only be productive of loss to Riera; and that, in order to extricate him from difficulties, the powerful party who protect him will resort to measures that may have very fatal results." Extract of a private letter of the 14th ult. from Lisbon : " The Miguelists have just lost the only ally that had hitherto been faithful to them, namely, Spain. The situa tion of the latter power, as it regards Don Miguel, since the abrogation of the family compact, relative to the succession of the Princes of the Bourbon family in Spain, is entirely changed. In taking this important measure, King Ferdi nand's aim was to prevent his brother Don Carlos from succeed ing him after his death, and consequently to weaken the influ ence of the Carlist party ; but this party, on the establishment of Don Miguel's Government, would naturally find in him a powerful support in enforcing the claims of Don Carlos to the Crown of Spain, if his brother had died without male heirs. But as the Spanish Monarch knows the intimacy of the Mi guelists and Carlists, necessity will oblige him to abandon the former and weaken the latter, since both are equally dangerous to him. It is reported even that the King of Spain has already commanded his Minister at Lisbon to discontinue all relations with Don Miguel's Government; and that he intends to recall him from that Court. It is certain that M. d'Acesta now re sides at Cintra, where he no longer attends to public affairs. It is asserted that the order for the recall of she Minister only depends on the answer to a letter of the King of Spain to the King of England, in which the former declares that, seeing the impossibility of prevailing on the Government of Lisbon, to follow his counsel s , and apprehending from tire present I li t t a y t c o of fEauffraoiper i h n e i P s o u r n t u d g e a r l t , h r e e s n u e l e t s e s s u i n t y fa e v t o e u a r l a l b i n le g l o re tire tranquillity of Europe, he is under the necessity of calling tire at tention of the King of England, the most ancient ally of Portu gal, to an glair so important, and which so nearly affects every Cabinet. As to the friends of the legitimate Government, they are elated with hope, since the news of the installation of the re gency at 'Terceira; they flatter themselves that the period of triumph for their young Queen is not very distant." The courier des Pays Bas announces as certain " that the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia will visit the Hague this summer. Their journey is supposed to be connected with political negotiations respecting the situation of the Netherlands and France. The Editor of the Gazette Co nstitutionnelle des Cultes et de l'Enseignement has been summoned to appear on the 7th inst. before the Tribunal of Correctional Police on the following charges :-1. For outrage and mockery of the religion of the State.-2. For insults atibred to one of its ministers (the Arch bishop of Paris), relative to the exercise of his functions.-3.

ST.PETERSBURGII,ArRIL 16.—His Majesty the Emperor has been pleased to confer the Order of Saint Alexander Newsky on the Seharnkal Sovereign of Tarkoff in the Province of Daghestan, and has sent him the inzlgnik with a most gracious rescript, ex pressing his Majesty's approbation of the constfrOt fidelity and devotedness to the throne, of which he has giVeil frequetil proofs of his long services, and his indefatigable exertions for the good administration of that part of Daghestan placed by his Majesty's confidence under his immediate Government. Sr. PETERSEURCII, APRIL 14.—At the request of the Members of the Committee for drawing up a regular system of regulations for the Evangelic-Protestant Church in Russia, his Majesty has been pleased to approve that, on the 2-sth of June this year, the three hundiedfh anniversary of the presentation of the Augs burgh Confession shall be coltbrated in all the Evangelic churches in the Russian empire, At the same time his Majesty has been pleased to approve that a new official costume shall be introduced; in which the Evangelic clergy shall henceforth ap pear in all their official duties on all solemn occasions, and which shall be *ern for the first time on the clay of the above Jubilee by all the Evangelic clergy in Russia. Phis costume consists (instead of the short cloak hitherto worn) in an ample talar of woollen cloth or silk, and, instead of the round hat, a velvet baret. The white band under the chin remains unaltered, His Majesty has also been pleased to confer the Order of St. Wlade inir of the Third Class on Dr. Retschl, Protestant Bishop of Pomerania, for his zealous and valuable co-operation in the labours of the Committee for drawing up a plan for a general code of ecclesiastical laws for the Protestant church in Russia. COPENHAGEN, APRIL 28.—His Majesty has appointed the Re verend Professor and Docttx of Divinity Peter Erasmus Muller to the office of Bishop of Zealand, in the room of the late Dr. idunter. Professor Ralibrek died on the 21st, in the 70th year of his age. HANorEn, APRIL 24.—His Royal Highness the Governor-Ge neral was pleased yesterday to receive at a very numerous draw ing.room in his Palace, the congratulations on the bi , th-day of his Majesty the Xing, which was celebrated in the usual manner, by the ringing of bells, a royal salute, &c. His Royal Highness and the Cabinet Ministers gave grand entertainments on the occasion. HAMBURG, APRIL V . I.—BOA/MN-HALLE, HALF-PART FOUR O'CLOCK.—In funds there basbeen but little doing today.

The principal objections against the measure are, that it will have a very injurious effect on our commerce in this article, which is tkus beginning to recover, and that it will give occasion to extensive smuggling, which it will be difficult if not impossible to prevent; thus the trade will be destroyed, and transferred to other places, and the public Ex chequer, as well as private persons, suffer. If, notwithstanding this, these measures should be persisted in, the duty must be con siderably less than proposed. The Courrkr des Pays Bas says, that it has been asserted in our Papers that the Belgic people ridiculed the trial of Potter, &c. We have not said a word to this effect, but merely that the citizens of Brussels did not trouble themselves about the fate of the accused, and that all was perfectly quiet. If the Caurrier des Pays Bas wishes to know what people think of this matter in the northern provinces, we can say that people are extremely in. dignant at the shameful conduct of De Potter and Tu.lemans, and look on them as men who deserve the contempt of all well disposed persons. BERLIN, APRIL Von Beyme, the Minister of State, has been induced by an expression of Goethe, in his dedication of the correspondence between himself aid Schiller, to publish the remarkable fact most honourable to our excellent King, and to thegeneral spirit of the Prussian Government, that Schiller had been invited to come to Berlin, where he was to have an annuity of 3000 dollars, and the free use of a Court equipage, which was only hindered by his illness and untimely death. VIENNA, APRIL 18.—The Political Gazette of Agram, in a latter from Oblay (on the military frontier) says, ‘' A part of our Bosniak neighbours, intent only on pillage and murder, made an excursion on the 2d instant, to the number of thirty or forty, into our peaceful country, near Boina, hi order to drive oft' our cattle. They were, however d,scovered in time by the cordon on the frontier, and driven out. On the Bth they returned, in great numbers, but were so warmly received by the few brave troops belonging to the cordon, that they were obliged to retreat with out booty, and with the loss of two of their number killed, and some wounded. We, however, had the misfortune to lose the Vice.Bassa &Aden Cheran, ho died of his wounds two hours after the action. The Lieutenant Field-Marshal Count Von Lilccnburg, has ordered inquiry to be made whether Cheran has left any family, that they may be provided for according to thebenevolent ordinance of the Emperor. NI:ARNIM/RC, APRIL 22.—His Excellency Lord Cowley, British Ambassador at the Court of Vienna, arrived here yesterday on his way to meet his Lady at Frankfort, with whom he will re turn to Vienna. The following are extracts from Brussels Pa pers. The sentence on M. DE POTTER and TIELMANS will defeat the vengeance of the Court from itb unjustifiable severity : BRUSSELS.-COURT OF ASSIZE, APRIL TRIAL OF MESSRS. POTTER, &C. M. Spennael, Counsel for M. de Neve, having endeavoured to prove, first, th.,t the association was legal, and secondly, that no criminal intentions can be imputed to his client, M. de Spruyl, the Attorney-General, rose to reply, and in a speech of three hours and a half examined and combated all the arguments al leged by the Counsel of the accused. The President afterwards called upon the Counsel of the accused to answer some points, after some remarks by several of the Counsel, the Court ad journed. APRIL 2S.—M. de Weyer, and the other Counsel for the de fence, in reply to the Attorney-General, repeated almost all the arguments already urged by them. The Court adjourned. APRIL 29,—The Counsel having concluded their replies, the President asked the accused if they had any thing to add, upon which M. de Potter alone desired leave to speak, and read a written address, in which he endeavoured to justify himself against the imputations cast upon him, to prove the purity of his intentions and the legality of the confederation which he wished to see in force • to demonstrate, that far from wishing to oerthrow the institutionsi by which we are governed, his only object was to strengthen them. The Court having resolved to deliberate on two individual points, returned in two hours and a half with its decision, viz.—lst, That the correspondence of M. Tielmans shall remain as part of the documents, but that it cannot serve with bans of a condemnation, and that a second series of questions, proposed by the Attorney-General, is rejected. The Attorney-General declined answering to the reply of the opposite Counsel, but wished that the consultation of the bar of Liege should be communicated to him, as it had not been brought forward till yesterday. The President granted this request, and the Court adjourned. APRIL 30. The Attorney-General said he had no observations to make on the Paper which he had asked for. The Court withdrew to deliberate, and is still sitting. P. S. We have this moment learned that the Court has sen tenced M. de Potter to banishment for eight years, Messrs. Bar tels and Tielmans for seven ; Messrs. Coehe-Momens and Van dershaellen are acquitted.—Gazette des Pays Bas. . Le Beige says, after the expiration of the term of their banish ment, they will be placed for an equal number of years under the surveillance of the high police. The Beige and the Courier des Pays Bas, besides filling three pages of each of their numbers for the three days with the account of the proceedings, gives three closely printed supplementary sheets, with the speeches of some of the Counsel. On the late trial of the cause of ANDERDON v. BURROWS and others, the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE stated in his summing up to the Jury, that " the conduct of Dr. BURROWS, in signing " a certificate of the plaintiff's insanity without " having seen him, and sending two persons to secure him, was contrary to law. He was " sorry to hear it was usual for medical practi tioners to act in that manner." The result of that trial, while it happily shews the law does not sanction the abuse committed, affords me lancholy proof that Mad Doctors, when feed by interested parties, do not scruple in defiance of the law, singly to sign certificates, and send their myrmidons, the keepers, to kidnap any unhappy object, who, once in their power, there is too much reason to believe is speedily incarcerated in one of those abodes of wretchedness, a recep tacle, when, as the ATTORNEY-GENERAL well observed, speaking of Mr. ANDERDON'S escape, the public probably would have known nothing of what had taken place, and the remainder of his days would have been passed in silence !!" Mr. ANDERDON, however, had the singular good fortune to escape the fate intended for him, turned the tables on his pursuers, and, fortu nately for himself and the community, has been enabled to contribute to the further exposition in a Court of Justice of the disgraceful system that has lately become matter of so much painful noto riety. This trial, moreover, combined with the other exposures that have recently taken place, shews by how frail a tenure Englishmen enjoy the boasted right of personal freedom,—what boota it, that no man can be deprived of his liberty for an alleged violation of the law (save for safe custody), until after a trial in open court, before a Judge of the land and a Jury of his country, IF , in the case of imputed insanity, medical cer • • -.• tificates,‘ or tettres de cadet, of.)tatt' led et the instance of interested parties, who fee the Doetorl, are all that are required to warrant the incar ceration of the sane or insane ?—and that, in trioQt inStgnces i for life,—since in these cases, be it remembered, therb is no gaol delivery !! ! We cannot contemplate any system tif law open to greater abuse,—we conscientiously heiieVe, no system ever existed in this or any other country under which more atrocious abuses have been committed, and we fearies?" g!ppeal to all thinking men, whether, supposing there were no other evidence, the disclosures and exposures of the last few months do not warrant that opinion ? The abuse, however, unhappily is not of modern date. Among DE Foz's works, there is one (published in 1728) intitled Augusta " Triumphans, or the way to make London the " most flourishing city in the universe ;—by sup " pressing pretended mad-houses where many of " the fair sex are unjustly corned, while their " husbands keep mistresses, 4-c., and many " widows are locked up for the sake of their' " jointures,"—and the Mad Doctors, (in whom the sane portion of the public have little or no confidence as general practitioners), emboldened by a long impunity, at length appear to con sider they have obtained a vested interest in the insane, by prescription. We have heard of instances where these worthies have got posses sion of a person well connected, or possessed of property, and have derived a grater annual in• come from the incarceration of the one patient, than many respectable general practitioners de rive from a fair average practice ; of course it is not to their interest that such a patient should be eased; moreover, one sort of talent will suf fice to make a man mad, or keep him mad, but it requires another and very different talent to cure him of insanity. Dr. BURROWS has lately told the world, in a letter addressed to Sir H. HALBORD, that the nature of insanity is " little known," which may be true with respect to Mad Doctors and their cure of patients ; but so far as their personal interests are concerned, and the benefit by them too long enjoyed and well understood, of having few, save the ignorant or unprincipled, for their employers, we apprehend no branch of the medical profession has been studied with greater care, or attained greater per fection, since nothing in the shape of profit is too large or too small to satisfy or escape their cupidity;—thus we learn from the minutes of evidence taken before the Parliamentary Committees, that in those wretched dens of misery at Bethnal Green and other places, HUNDREDS of poor wretches are incarcerated, at the miserable profit to the keeper of two or three shillings a week on each, under circumstances alike revolting to humanity, and disgraceful to the nation that permits it, even to wards the humblest of its citizens ! The cloud of cases that have lately forced themselves on the public notice,—those of AN_ DERSON, ACRES, GRINDALL, DAVIES, &C. &C. all serve to display the daring and relentless system that has been too long carried on under the mask and pretence of curing insanity, and we believe there are now few persons who do not cordially concur in the justice of the SOLICITOR GENERAL'S remark, that a medico-receptacle keeper " has a direct interest against the honest advice he ought to give ;"—but there are other persons' engaged in this disgraceful traffic whose conduct is far more culpable that that of Dr. BURROWS, although by greater cunning, or good fortune, they have hitherto contrived to occupy a less prominent place in the eye of the public. We have received a copy of Mr. BADNALL'S " Letter on the present Commercial and Agricul tural Condition of Great Britain." Mr. BAD.. NALL is known as possessing much information on the Silk Trade, and he has now shewn that he has so considerable a knowledge of the con dition of the several interests of the country, as to entitle his opinions to respect, on all political questions. His work commences by laying down twenty axioms or general principles in political economy with reference to which he elucidates the causes of the prevailing distress, and suggests the means by which he thinks it may be effectually removed. The last of the axioms, which all the others tend to establish, is one-that cannot be too frequently urged, or too stoutly advocated, in any country, and especially in this : " Free labour, and a free unshackled commer cial intercourse between man and man, and be tween nation and nation, best promote the ac- cumulation of wealth, and the civiliza lion of mankind ; but monopolies, duties, restrictions, and prohibitions, impede the course of wealth, and destruction of trade and civilization ; there fore freedom of trade is a blessing—restriction or prohibition of trade is a curse." In his reasoning upon population, Mr. BAD.. NALL appears to us to be in error. He thinks that, because national wealth arises from labour, and labour is supplied by men, the more abun dant the population is, the better for the coun try. " If," says he, " the inherent power of " nature be a good, it never can, by any pos " sible increase, become an evil." . . . Distress among an abundant population is the effect of erroneous legislation, which should ever be possessed of sufficient foresight to command ample food for increasing generations, and sample consumption for increasing pro duce. . . . It is an absolute impossibility that any country which is well governed can in crease beyond the power of provision which the " earth affords towards its maintenance." We recommend Mr. BADNALL to consider whether it is, or is not, true, that the ratio in which population has a tendency to increase, is greater than the rate of increase of food ? Whether any given country, and even the whole earth is not, in this respect, similarly situated to a single farm ? Whether the quantity of food supplied by the earth, is capable of being increased by Governments, by the use of machinery or other wise, so as to support an unlimited population ? and whether it is not necessary that some check ! to their increase must alwap exist with reggi to mankind, as well as with regard to sheep o r pigs? Mr. BADNALL will, upon further eni quiry, perhan satisfy himself that the 'dtity'° Governments, seeing that there must be c hecks' to population, is to direct those checks in the manner that may be the least prejudicial t° human happiness. It is better that men should not tic horn, than that, being born, they should live in misery. Notwithstand:ng these, and other points, 113 which Mr. BADNALL'S views do not meet O r own, wer think his book will repay its perussi* We particularly recommend attention .to th ° following causes, which he enumerates as mots or less affecting the advancement of the prosperiti of the nation, viz. : Ist, And principally—The want of a sufficient marke t for our surplus raw and manufactured produce. 2d.

RAPID TRAVELLING.--A great sensation was produced in Birmingham on Saturday last, May-day, by the unusually early arrival of the London coaches, the Tallyho, and the Independent Tallyho, both which coaches did the distance of 110 miles from London to Birmingham, in about seven hours and three quarters, being at the rate of 14 miles per hour, including changes ! The exact time of the Tallyho was seven hours, 50 minutes. Both these coaches are in the habit of arriving m Birmingham at about half past seven in the evening, but on Saturday they were in about half-past two.--to the surprise and admiration of the whole town. This is the march of travelling in good earnest.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THIS DAY.—This morning between three and four o'clock, a remarkably fine young woman, of the name of LETITIA DAKES, was brought in her night-clothes in a hackney coach from her parents' residence, No. 14, Chapel•place, Crown-street, Soho-square, to Middlesex hospital, in a state of insensi bility, from having tsken a quantity of arsenic. Messrs. LAIDLAW and Galax, the house surgeon s to the Itospital, immediately attended the unfo tunate young woman, and applied the stomach-pump wi h partial success. It ap pears that having hat some angry words in the early p a rt of the evening with her parents, relative to a young man who paid his addresses to her, she immediately left home acid purchased a quantity of arsenic; on her retiring to bed at eleven o'clock, she committed the rash act, and some time after she was teized with most excruciatieg agonies which awoke her parents. Assistance was imme diately procured, and the was conveyed to the hospital, where she lies with little hopes of recovery.
