The moment for operation has arrived ; my greatest wish is to assemble as many elements of attack as possible, that we may not by any manner of means miss a happy result. I sacrifice all my being to : the welfare of my country, as well as all my powers and means; and whether it be command ing as a General, or , obeying a' a soldier, I shall march with pleasure to contribute to her liberty. In my opinion the union of us all is absolutely neces sary to attain that object. I desire that union—l believe that. the same idea will be entertained by your patriotism, and that the collective cooperation of all will contribute to its most speedy realisation. I consider a centre of action, and the sole direction being, placed in one hand, as indispensible. To operate in an isolated manner would be only weaken ing our power, and exposing ourselves to partial re verses, which we ought to avoid, as well as causing , our compromistal. brethren many perseautiontLand misfortunes, for all this would infinitely delay the triumph of a just cause, and possibly ruin it entirely. All this will be set right if we operate with one common accord.

GLASS WORKS FOR SALE.—The valuable extensive , and well-known GLASS WORKS of ALLOA. _ _ These Works cover nearly Five Acres of ground, hounded on the south by the Water or Firth of Forth. The ground is held in perpetuity at a trifling feu-duty. The Works consist of— - lat. A very complete and commodious FLINT-GLASS HOUSE, erected about five years ago, containing a Ten Pot Furnace, with Pot Arch, Mixing House, &e. 2d. A large RANGE of WAREHOUSES for storing and packing Crystal. 311. A GLASS-CUTTING SHOP, with Frames for eighteen Cutters, &c. 4th. A STEAM-ENGINE, of Twelve Horse Power, of approved construction, for moving the Cutting Appa ratus, with Clay-house, Clay-mill, &c. sth. TWO LARGE BOTTLE CONES, erected within the last five years, in the highest state of repair. 6th. A THIRD BOTTLE CONE, quite fit for use, and which may be used for manufacturing Crown Glass, if required. 7th. Several RANGES of OUT- HOUSES for storing Bottles, with Smiths', Wrights', Covers', and Masons' shops. Bth. Seven Commodious POT LOFTS, with Hot Scaffolds capable of containing above Four Hundred Bottle and Flint-house Pots. flth. A commodious DWELLING-HOUSE, with Gar den, Shrubbery, Rte. 10th. Three RANGES of WORKMEN'S HOUSES, capable of accommodating about seventy families. Besides the above, there will also be disposed of the UTENSILS. IRONS, POTS, &e. They consist of let. The Irons, Moulds, and other Apparatus necessary for a Flint House and Cutting Shop, on a large scale. 2d. Complete Sets of Irons, Moulds, and other Utensils for two Bottle Houses. 3d. From three to four hundred Bottle and Flint House Pots, mostly quite ready for use, and ascertained to be of excellent quality. 4th. Warehouse and Office Furniture. sth. Materials for Manufacturing Flint and Bottle Glass. These works, having the advantage of a commodious Pier and a Wharfage belonging to them, are most conve niently situated for communicating directly with the east and north of Scotland and the London market, and with the west by the Forth and Clyde Canal. Coals are ob tained at a cheap rate from pits in the neighbourhood, and no Shore Dues or Port Charges are payable on materials or goods, as vessels arc loaded and discharged at the Works. The present Company has for the last five years carried on the business to a considerable extent of manufacturing and cutting Flint Glass, and elan of manufacturing Bottles. The superior quality of the article produced is well known. A respectable and safe connection has been formed for the sale of these articles; and, from the capacity of the works, and large stock of well-settatined Pots, it is in the power of any capitalist who may purchase the works, which are still in operation, greatly to extend the business. A number of steady and expert workmen and apprentices are in the employment of the present Company, whose engagements may be transferred to a purchaser. No place in Scotland can present so many facilities far carrying on the glass trade. The above offer advantages to capitalists which rarely occur. If desired, an arrangement may be made by which a considerable part of the price may remain on the works. Applications may be made to the Managers, at Alloa ; John Richardson, Esq. solicitor, ta, Fludyer-street, West minster, London; John Fleming, Esq. Glasgow; or Mr. Maurice Lothian, solicitor, Edinburgh, the latter of whom can exhibit the title7deeds.

This alteration Jim given general' satisfaction to the men, who complain much of the harassing duty they had to perform, the fatigue of which many• were unable to sustain. The night force is now nearly double what it formerly was, and as the ground is more amply covered, Anil the men hate a much less extensive beat to perambulate, the duty is expected to he dine in a moreefficient macr.er than hitherto. It is in contemplation to supereede the present system of watching in the West India Do cks b y a party el the New Police. • COPY OF THE ANSWER. " This chink of hope, which you now see, we, a part of the patriots, saw a long time ago, and we gave proofs of it by putting ourselves in motion already before the events of France took place. Our plans, our desires our sacrifices, and our union amongst all the Chiefs, who put ourselves in action, are notorious to all the world. We possess that union, which alone can produce a happy result. If, as it is to be hoped your patriotism, and from your promises, you sincerely desire the same thing—if you choose to employ, for the sake of our country and of liberty, your influence, your resources, and your person—l am ready to combine with you my efforts whenever you please, provided that the same be not in opposition to prior engagements which I have contracted with my companions, nor do I any longer delay the desired declaration. This I beg to state in answer to your letter of yesterday's date, which I received at two o'clock this afternoon. (Signed) "FRANCISCO VALDES. "To Senor Don Francisco Eva y Mina. I, ll3yonne, Oct. 2." TILL TOWER MOAT. ,The Duke of Wellington, as Constable of the Tower, having issued his order fur the cleansing and deepening of the Tower-moat, workmen are now busily employed in the ,process. The moat is to be deepened four feet all round the Tower. The water in the moat was allowed to run off; pieces of wood were laid across the bed at short distances, in the form of ratline, upon this foundation a rail-way in miniature is constructed ; the mud, a thick rich compost, invaluable manure, is collected into square boxes, on wheels ; these are pushed along the railway by the labourers with very little trouble. The contents of the boxes are dropped into a barge, moored in front of the " Traitor's Gate ;" the soil thus collected is taken up the river fur the use of the rearera of " Battersea plants," and other agriculturists. The Tower Moat has not been cleared since the days of Charles IL, and the labourers constantly keep an eager look-out, in the hopes of finding coins, and other valuables ; but beyond a plain halfpenny or two, nothing further has been heard of. however, that there are watches, trinkets, coins, &e., embedded in the mud, cannot he 4oubted. It is stiried that the no torious Mull Cutpurre, one night having robbed a gentle man of his gold repeater on Tower-hill, fearing detection, threw it into the moat, and it has never since been seen. When the water was drawn off, a considerable number of the inhabitants of the Tower Hamlets were present, and appeared to anticipate an almost miraculous draught of fisher ; but in this they were miserably disappointed, a single basket of eels, and these of ordinary size, being all that was obtained. This is accounted fur in the fact, that the fish coins in with the title and retire with it. The Academie Franeaise, in Paris, at its last sitting, bestowed the prize of 15,000 francs (6000 an. nually given as the reward of acts of virtue, to the wounded en the three glorious days in July.

The funeral sermon preached by our Vicar, the Rev. H. M. Wan sea, at St. Peter's Church, o n t h e .9d October, on the death of the late Rev. R. BRACKEN, has been published at the request of numerous friends. It is a very powerful and eloquent discourse, with a aim. plicity of narration which can only flow from the pen of a scholar and a gentleman. We extract that part which relates same circumstances connected with his untoward fate The manner of his death was necessarily announ ced with a suddenness that created a shock among all classes of our population. It may, perhaps, he permitted to me, who have had access to authentic and private sources of information, by the mention of some particulars, to soothe the pain ned satisfy the anxiety of your minds. It will he, in the first place, matter of consolation to you to know, that his death was not owing to any impru dence or inadvertency of his own, or others. Ile died, in fact, by one of those accidents which none can foresee or contioul—a snow-storm, which overtook hint on the 18th of September, while crossing the Alps. Tie:lath which should have shown the way, was unhappily and suddenly obliterated. What skill and intrepidity could do, was done. - The whole company suffered extreme toil and peril. Of the four travellers who on this calamitous day entrusted themselves to their guide, two perished. The frame of my friend, subdued by his recent bereavement, sunk under the fatigue. Two lung hours his companions supported him, until the continuance of an attempt to pre serve his life, must have proved not only abortive, but fatal to all the rest. In the next place, it is a matter of still higher consolation to know, that even upon this sudden call to leave the world, he was perfectly resigned to death. He was drawn by his companions to a spot a little sheltered from the driving wind and snow. Them though he was past the use of speech, a faint smile expressed a peaceful •statement of mind, .and thus wrapped in his cloak, he literally, and in the fullest extent of the scriptural ex pression.—` fell asleep.' A little further on, his brother in-law began to droop, and though encouraged by his en feebled companions, he too sunk, giving utterance to these last wards,--' l will stay byre and die, do not let me be the cause of your perishing.' Figure, to yourselves their critical situation, and that state of alarm which each silently felt, hut none dared to communicate to his neigh bour—the inclemency and bitterness of the weather to men lightly clad for the endurance of fatigue, and aid of •oold—their hands and feet benumbed...their hair covered with ice—the snow still incessantly borne by a violent and piercing wind, in such clouds as to produce the effect of darknesa—the advance of night—.their progress so slow that many minute* were occupied in a few steps. Figure to yourselves these difficulties, and say, whether under such circumstances men could do more; and judge bow heartrending it must have been, to base left cotnpaoione, in order to seek that assi,tance for their fallen sod expir ing friends, which they could not retailer thentselyet. Such were the circumstance' of his deatle"—Beighfoo Gazette, The ranks of the English army are filled with volunteers ; all trades and occupations in civil life are carried on by volunteers ; the crews of English merchant-ships are likewise formed of men whose engagements have been entered into of their own free will. How comes it that the profession of a British man-of-war's-man, is the only one which, full of honour and excitement though it be, has not been considered by those who manage the maritime interest of the nation, as capable of supplying its own wants through a fair and liberal address to the understandings of the naval community ? To do they to official persons, we must ad mit that they seldom manifest much repugnance to, hear propositions for ameliorating the condi— tion of the several departments which they pre side over, however tardy or unwilling they may he to act upon such suggestions. On the great point of correcting those sys- Ittmatic vices in the marine which tend to alienate `Me minds of seamen from the King's service r ,it, appears that Lord Melville, so long ago as the year 1815, permitted a pamphlet to be addressed to him on the subject of impressment, in which were contained a considerable number of regula tions for encouraging seamen generally, by hold ing out such prospects of advancement in the navy as might induce men to supersede the ne cessity of impressment by volunteering, or, if it were unavoidable, to soften and mitigate its rigour. You must endeavour to dispense with foreign ers; lay down fixed rules for impress, and adhere to them; and then you will have British seamen : this will prevent desertion, lower wages, and cause us to retain that superiority over other nations, which it is the object of the present letter to promote. " Having so far considered the cause of the want of seamen, and their aversion to the navy, I shall now offer what I conceive necessary to do it away :- Ist. It is necessary that the officers of the navy should be taught, that one of the first duties of an Aker is to gain the confidence and good-will of the men by example, and regular conduct, for this is the foundation of good discipline. Example will al ways have ten times more effect than rules. They should also study and know the character of their men ; and it should be particularly impressed upon them, that a correct and respectable deportment is requisite ; for every instance of improper conduct on their part is certain to alie nate the minds of the men from their dicers; and perhaps there is no description of people, who, from their peculiar habits of life, look with a more jealous eye upon the treatment they receive than seamen. To command them with effect, attention is requisite to their comforts, and as far as the nature of the ser vice will allow,. every reasonable indulgence of liberty. 'Although much has been done during the present war to render the service more agreeable to the minds of men, by a relaxation of punishment and attention to their comforts, yet much more may be done without injury to the service. The language too often made use of (particularly by young 6111 7 . crrs) only renders them despicable in the eyes of the men, and irritates their minds against them. Sorry am I to say, that the youth training for-officers in the navy, are not, generally, so rigidly attended to by their superiors as they ought to be. The merchant.' service requires much more study to command men, there is no doubt, not having any particular code of marine laws for that service: another thing which ought to be inculcated too—l have seen men brought into a state of as good discipline by method and knowledge, as ever was done by the strong arm of power. Officers who go on board of merchant ships to impress, should preserve a respectful con. duct to the commanders and officers; not only to prevent that irritation of mind which their conduct at the moment causes, but to guard against the bad example it offers to seamen and apprentices, when they see their officers treated with disrespect. What a lesson, when you afterwards expect from them im plicit obedience ! " When men are impressed, and more particu- lady when they enter, they should not be sent im mediately on a foreign station, until they visit the port to which they belong; which might be done by permitting them to find a proper substitute or to give security to a certain amount. There are very few who will not be able to obtain one or the other. A cer tain time of liberty should be then allowed them. " The impress service should be confided to very different persons from those to whom it is usually intrusted, and who are the refuse of mankind. A seaman never forgives the outrage cf being seized upon by such miscreants; and so much are my own feelings injured when I it take place, that I plead excuse for the man who deserts his country and friends. lam sorry to say that this abuse too often arises from the shameful neglect of your own orders to officers commanding gangs, who leave it to men most improperly selected. A. gang is seldom headed by a proper officer. The persons employed upon that service should possess a knowledge of seamen, with a great share of prudence. _ _ " When people are impressed from tiny ship, it should be the duty of the officer who performs that service, to afford the ship immediate help, and to take her into her destined port ; arid their wages ought to be secured to theM whilst on board, and be under the cocaine' of the officers of such ship. " No impress should take place abroad, except under the most imperious necessity, and rules should be laid down for its proper regulation. " No ship bound to a foreign ►station should be permitted to send on board of out ward-bound vessels, and take from them one or two men, as is too often the case at present, contrary to orders of Govern ment. It is also necessary that apprentices should be protected by some such rules as I shall hereafter ley down ; and if any officer transgress them, that he be amenable to punishment. " When men have served a certain time in the navy, according to rank, situation, and trade, they . should be freed from - impress, agreeably to certain regulations, different situations and tonnage of ships; making a difference between those who have entered, those who are impressed, and those Nvho have left their country, during the time of %%qtr., to evade their services in the navy. Perhaps the following propositions would give the outlines to obtain the object in view. " The East India trade, as now conducted, is a waste of men instead of raising theta, having no apprentices as seamen .(except officers, servants, and midshipmen are 'considered • as such, which I do not): while they can sail their ships with foreigners and Lascars no change will take place. 'I his trade ought, at least, to raise as many seamen as it now gives you, instead of drawing upon the navy, or other trades, to answer its purpose.* What advantage Government can possibly deem they obtain by the. present mode, is beyond my comprehension. That it tends to impede the raising of seamen, is sufficient proof against it, without advancing any thing further upon the subject. - With respect to this trade, should propose that at the cominencement of the 44 * It is an understood arrangement_ between Govern ment and the East India Company, or the owner" of that each ship shall tarn over it► India A certain 'number of British seamen to the ships of war on the siation this is a negative mode of raising rnen for the navy. " The West India Dock system at present, with respect to apprentices, causes the loss of at least 1,000 seamen annually. "In the American, Mediterranean, and Baltic trades, the first mate, if he has served one year in the navy, should be exempt from the impress; se cond mute, four years; boatswains and carpenters, six years ; gunners, stewards, and cooks, seven years, seamen, eight years, &c. " In the coal and coasting trades, first mate, three years; second mate, fi ve years; o ther officers, seven years ; and seamen, eight years, &c. " No vessel under fifty tons should protect a master, except he has served three years in the navy, unless such vessel have two apprentices be longing to her; one of whom Shall be seventeen years of age, or upwards, when indentured. " Ships employed in the Greeidand trade and fisheries should have regulations adapted for their purpose, suitable to the above • apprentices the same. All running ships and packets should carry four ' apprentices to every ten of her complement of men, half of each class. " All ships •under the British flag ' sailing to or from Europe, should be manned with British-born subjects, at least, to the extent of two-thirds of her complement, with their proportion of apprentices. " A certain regulation should take place with re spect to men in all other water employment, for whom I do not pretend to offer regulations, from want of informatiOn on the subject. , " Transports should have three apprentices, to every 100 tons; half of whom should be above seventeen when indentured. " Apprentices should not be allowed to enter into the navy, without the approbation of their masters; and, in that case, the unexpired time of their appren ticeship should not be allowed as a part of the term of exemption, and the regular bounty should be granted to their musters. " All men who have performed their service in the navy, agreeable to these rules, shmild have a de cided preference, as long as their conduct deserves it, during and after a war, in all shipping employ ments belonging to Government, public docks, pilot age, &c., and the freedom of any town in the king dom where they might choose to settle or reside after the war, should be theirs by right. No man should be allowed to transact the business of a ship broker, by. offering ships to the transport service, or sell for the Admiralty, or be employed in other naval Government concerns, unless ha has served the country. by sea. " It would be desirable to institute public schools, founded upon voluntary contributions, in or near sea ports, devoted to the education of the children of persons actually serving in the navy ; and even when their service expires, the education might be con tinued; but this must be regulated by the extent of the funds. " At the conclusion of a war, or upon the expire. tion of the time of servitude, the men should be con. y veed, free of expellee, to their nearest place of re. sidence. " That no ship should be allowed to sail out wards, at the commencement of a war, with more than one-third foreigners for the first two years; one-fourth for the third year; one-fifth for the fourth ; one-sixth for the fifth year ; one-several' for the sixth year; one-eighth for the seventh year, and the remaining period of war. This may be go verned as circumstances require. " Four years actually employed in the merchants' service should be equal to two years in the navy. " A certain portion of lieutenants employed in the navy should be taken from those who have been brought up in the merchants' service. " All masters, and half the mates and midshipmen in the navy, should be required to have served three years in the mercantile service. " All trading merchant4hipping, in a political point of view, ought never to have direct taxes laid upon them, with a view, if possible, to restore the carrying trade we formerly had, but which is comparatively much diminished. This is absolutely necessary to keep up the number of seamen reqUired to man our navy. " I offer these suggestions to your Lordship, under a strong impression of their utility ; and I feel per suaded that the outline I have drawn, when syste maticelly arranged, would, in the course of a few years' war, supply the navy to its full extent, with merchant-stamen ; .would conquer the aversion our seamen at present feel to the naval service; and be fully adequate to render it more eilieient in officers and men, and blend the two services together. " I have no doubt some of my remarks will not receive the sanction of officers in the navy, as it is their wish to keep the services distinct. To their objections - I would reply that it was to an obstinate adherence to regulations, which should vary with circumstances, many of the evils which attended Europe since the year 1789, to the close of the war, were mainly owing. From this pertinacity on our part, Bonaparte derived almost as Much advna tuge as he did from his 'Abilities, enterprise, uud judgment, partieulerly in the fi rst part of his career. To the same cause we might. ascribe the loss of many thousands of men, and millions of money, in the West Indies. And the same may be said of the American war with respect to their privateers. Allow me to ask you, my Lord, if the Americans or perhaps British mercantile oviform .in .Americau privateers, have not convinced us that their judgment in annoying our trade was more than equal to the judgment displayed by our naval men in opposing them. "By allowing men the liberty of retiring from the navy at the . expiration of fixed period, it will pre vent them Prom leaving the country at the com mencement of a war; it will els) have - the effect to induce them to cuter freely, and . greatly lessen the temptation to desert. In this case they will have utt object in view, after a certain seriitinle, which, *. This business, report says, afforded to tnu Can, pang, not seamen, during a part of the late War, fruit *5,000/, to *s,oool. per annum, 1 broke the charm, commenced at the early,plitt of ,life, will not appear long, partieularly to respectable young men, who look forward to prensation in the ineOhania'service, and r who will have ties upon thenil`o keep them in the country. These will not now enter into the sea service, from having fear of being impressed, and their hopes blasted through life.. " The motive I have in proposing that-officers in employ should only enter for *given time, and allow their places to be filled with men that have served in the navy, and who should be afterwards exempt, is, that we may have men to train our youth 'as sea men, whom we have not had for a nuniber - of yearn. By fixing the period of service at nearly three yea'', no loss will accrue, as their places will be filled, at the expiration of that period, by the first Class of apprentices; and, when the time of their discharge arrives, many of them will, no doubt, remain in the service; as it will be difficult for all of them to get employment in merchant vessels. " I should propose that the most rigid attention be given to 'rules laid down on the return of these men into the merchants' service, and thet 'they should be free from impress for life. This will have mire effect on the rising generation than all the other inducements you can hold nut; anti it will induce them, as soon as they obtain their freedom, to encourage others to enter the service, instead of raising their aversion to it as they do at'present'. " In recommending two Classes of appreiiiices, my object is to raise in the course Of the three' first years, - when a few' officers will begin to be dis chargeC,lt number of men, not boys, who, although not able seamen, will, in all probability, acquire More experience in that time, than they would' do in seven years in the navy. They Will also be better adapted at that age for merchant ships; fewer British seamen will be required in that service, whilst the arrangement would reduce one-half, at least, of the foreigners now' allowed to be employed. The second class of 'younger apprentices :have teen frequently- impressed, at surd even under 18-years of age, after hiving bean fliYee ,years -at see,- during which time they have hardly been- worth to the owners the food they consumed; whereas, were two years' more servitude allowed them, it would be greatly to the advantage of the owners, and tend to the improvement of the boys : as these grew up, the masters would take younger apprentices, so as, in time, nearly to man their-ships by such means. A regulation to this effect would, if the war con., tinued, man the' merchant service, after the first six years, with British seamen; and the overplus would be adequate to the naval service of the country in its fullest extent, and which then would have none but regularly bred seamen."—Times. LINCOLN MEETING. (From the Newark Times.) By a reference to our report, it will be seen that u meeting of the county of Lincoln has taken place, for the purpose of petitioning for a repeal of the Assessed Taxes; but which ended by a petition solely for the repeal of the Tax upon Malt. Of the injustice of 'the Malt Tax, and of its impolicy, we have already spoken most fully ; nor are we aware that we can add more to our observations. Its injustice is ap. parent, as affecting meat particularly the .former and the labourer. Its impolicy is evident from the fact that, even if the revenue should require the fund which the Malt Tax supplies, it could be obtained from other sources much less nation ally objectionable, and to a much greater extent in its receipts. But there are other taxes, Which weigh heavily upon the great consumers of corn, as well as upon the growers of corn, the removal of which would be of essential relief to the great body politic,—we mean the Window and House Tex; and it is therefore to us a matter of re. Bret, that the petition should have been confined to an individual tax. Suspicion will get abroad most naturally, that . county meetings are nothing but agricultural meetings ; and that the voice only of the landed interest is to be heard. Such fault, it must be admitted, does; not rest with the agriculturists ; and that they alone at these meet ings should be the principals, nay, the only movers, has been a matter of surprise, and also of sorrow. But then, where are the tradesmen and the maltsters ? Why are they not at their posts ? The reason is but a very inefficient one,--4hat petitioning is of no use. When petitions are unattended to, remonstrance must follow ; and the Senate being alive to that, will not treat with indifference the public voice. It has been Hinted to us, that the object of the petitioners was only to raise the price of barley and to keep their rents. There is some degree of plausibility in this; for upon analyzing .those who principally took an active part in the business, only one, we believe, was a farmer. And it has been also mentioned, 'that some of those most loud in their demands, had several farms thrOwn upon their hands, in consequence of the high rents. We are among those who wish to see, and would gladly aid, a county or any other meeting of farmers, practical working farmers, to petition the Legislature to repeal certain taxes, that it might compel landlords to lower their rents, and not to raise them by having a burthen taken ow their own back. This would be an important measure, and such as would receive attention. The proceedings of the day were of great interest, they brought into collision ' the right of a constituent to demand of a Member his concurrence and support of the petition, and the duty of the Member to. reply. !qr. Healy, before ho moved , who should, pre • sent the petition, asked Mr.. Chaplin whether he would support it ? Mr. Chaplin not having spoken upon it, refused to give an answer as a matter of right,: but would as a matter of coin , . tesy. With great deference, we think Mr. Chaplin' bound to say, whether the petition adopted at a county meeting, (whether that meeting be large or email,) will be by him sup ported. Mr. Chaplin did not coincide With the petition, and it was intrusted to the support of Sir W. Ingilby, Sir Robert Heron, and Colonel Sibthorpe, thus excluding the very Member who should have supported it. At the two county meetings we have attended, we, have certainly seen a disposition of a party rather to taunt Mr. Chaplin than to conciliate; and he, perhaps, pluming himself upon his conscious rectitude o f intention, treats with contempt the efforts made to induce him to bow to their wishes, or to unite with their measures.. It was ucircuinstutife re. dounding much to his honour, that during the period be bad been a. representative, be tierce had solicited at the bandit of Government anv favour. This was stated by the Rev.
