THE Ito I.IL MINT.—The Mint is coning into full activity ; and we are informed that prepara tio - m have been made for coining ten millions of guineas within the year 1821. By the time the process is in complete operation, the issues will amount to 200,000 per week. The shipping belonging to increased 1, 0767 tons last year, and t' has been the Means of ernPloying 160 additional seamen. A great shyness at present exists between au Illustrious Personage and her immediate female llnglish attendant, who, latterly, has not been much with her Royal Mistress. the atrocious attempt to assassinate Colonel t'ftowxr, must, we think, furnish another mo- Ilentous illustration of the progress of those doc trines which a licentious and ferocious temper of I;nblic feeling engenders. We tremble to think how 'much of this feeling is derived from the sug gestions of the Press. Whenever the incitements to, or the defence of assassination is breathed in this Country, we most anxiously trust that opportuni ties will be afforded to:Juries to mark their de- testation of such doctrines. An unhappy woman It it:as just been convicted of such an. offence ; but she is not a solitary offender. Th e anniversary of MOLIERE'S birthday was celebrated at:the two principal French theatres 'on Monday lao, in the most appropriate method, viz. by the performance of two .of his best come dies, and two of his best farces..'_ 1 1 14 e comedies Were, Tartaffe and the Femmes Sauanies ; the farcE , s, the Nalacic Imaginaire and M.

The Baron BeanAm' is now living in the, most sumptuous style at Paris, outdoing in the splen dour of his equipages and establishment, persons of the first rank in that city : between him and this Country couriers are daily passing ; and such iS the urgency of the communications, that the couriers are frequently paid-extra for the greater dispatch they use: it is generally understood, that Lord - Aacm- . A tLD U.AMILTON is to move the Amendment on. the Address in the House of Commons. ThOpeCulations of the politicians of the day are so.var,ious, that little credit can be given to them. Great uncertainty prevails as to the line of conduct which the Party denominated " The Saints". will ptirsue ; and,, as Mr. WI 4 BERFOIsCE d°e3 not return to town, We believe, until this evening, nothing decisive can be known. The (D PP o sition say if Ar:WiLBERFOace and his friends vote with them,- -that then the Ministers' majority will be very small. ; But we give these rumours as we hear thein; without vouching, in any degree for their accuracy. ~,, The, energetic _declarations of the Neapolitan Yarliarrient have ' strengthened the belief of an approaching war, The shares of RoTascHtLD's L 7 have, et is . said, suddenly fallen from. 112 f .10 0 r ' ' A cc t., _ . or,,,in ''• $ io a superior order, the schools of rii:;tiat:l instraction, introduced info ,Several regi ' G ' m ilt he abolished.

The body of this Church being in a very defrayed state, it was taken cliiwn; and newly erected, under the su perintendence of Mr. LUNG, an eminent Archi tect, and'the execution of the work is considered as highly creditable to his taste and professional talents. ..

The ap plause which attended her has given her more confidence, and draws forth the full extent of her great powers. She was encored in several of the airs, particularly in " The Soldier tired."— But, in justice to the rest of the performers in the Opeea of Artaxerxes, it should be observed, that they have all a right to share in the merit of its attraction. His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK gave an entertainment on Saturday last, at his house in the Stable Yard, St. James's Palace, to the Lord CILINCELLDR, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord SinmouTH, Mr. A nnuTnNoT, 'and many other persons of distinction.

The statement width we mentioned in our last reached us from a very respectable quarter; but we are nevertheless assured, it is totally erroneous and unfounded.— (Morning Post,) Mr. and. Mrs. COUTTS were in their box on Saturday evening, with a large party, to see the Opera of Artaxerxes. When it had - conduded, they went into the Green-room, accompanied by Lord .Erskine, Sir T. Tyrwhitt, Lords Yarmouth and Lennox, Mr. Ellice, M. P. &c. Sze„ and complimented the young Lady and her 'Master in terms which, from such a source, must have been highly gratifying to them both. Mr. Courts has been a theatrical man for more than_ Sixty. years, and this venerable Gentleman assured the fair debutante that she surpassed all the Man dunes he had • heard during that period. Lord ERSKINE- complimented her no. less upon her singing than her superior acting ; while Mrs. CoUTTS said it was difficult, amid so much excel lence, to determine which was most conspicuous. The health of Mr. and Mrs. Courrs and success to Miss WILSON, was afterwards drank in sparkling champaigne. Several very respectable and independent Gen tlemen, Yeomen, Tradesmen, and others, resi dent in the neighbourhoood of Staines, Egham, and Chertsey, having resolved to meet at the Bush Ihn, at Staines, to testify their Loyalty to their King, and their firth attachment to the Con stitution, as by law established, a good substan tial dinner consisting of - old English fare was pro vided, on Tuesday last, for the occasion, and well .served up by Mr. WHITE, the landlord ; above 100 persons sat down ; the wines were exceedingly good ; Sir JOHN GIBBONS, Bart. presided, and was well seconded by Col. WOOD ; sotne excellent speeches were made, Constitutional songs sung, and-appropriate toasts given; indeed the whole party seemed to vie in uniting their best endea vours to promote. the harmony and conviviality of the company, who did not separate until . a late hour, highly pleased with their entertainment ; an nual meetings were determined on, and, doubtless, every succeeding - year will add to the number of the company, meetings of this description - being well calculated to promote harmony, sociability, and good fellowship, in every neighbourhood where they take place. Atmingst the Gentlemen present were noticed Thomas Wood; Esq. .of Lit tleton ; John Rae and Peter Henderson, Esqrs., the Rev. I. L. Bennett, Messrs. La Coste of Chertsey,.

Ile has left behind him a wife and five children.—(R ii4o/4•11 Courant, LJa::: 18.) • • •• AI PA CH very interesting .'and animated account of this extraOrdinary'man is giiren in M, vlLO!..!s ]ravels gla. Greece, a work which has lat Cly appeared at Paris. The author re sided twelve years as French Consul, General at JOarnina y and had . opportunities superior to 411 Othfir titropeans of studying the character of whhm he calls-the Ctasitc 7:0-ant, as Well as dbtaiting correct information of the remark able 'events of his life. We shall therefore pre sent our Readers With the substance, of the par ticulars related by M.POUOIEVILLE, as the DraMa, Of which the lis.-Pacha of Joannina is the hero, Appears to be drawing to a close. The father of Ali was an Albanian 'A:flight Errthit, that is,.a Robber. liavibg -. become rich by thisOcctipaiion, and being at the. head of an experienced and warlike band; he appeared cud= denly befol-e Tebeleti; a town commanded by his brOtherS, carried it by storm, Strangled- all his relations, and set fire to the paternal mansion. These examples were not loit On'the young Ali. When only twelve years old he com menced rubber, Wai concerned in several petty plundering expeditions, and conspired to take away the lives of his brothers. His tendermother gloried in him for these laudable propensities, and was in the constant-habit of saying to him, like Ag-rip pina-tO her son, Cancta licet inincipi. When he became Pacha, he developed a talent for 'despo tism unknown in Epirus: lie betrayed those who confided their power to him ; he sacked and ruined all the neighbouring - Petty Pachalics ; he increased the number of capital, offences, and diSplayed a prodigious fertility of imagination and refinement in the theory and'practice of pains' and punishments. The plague. was to - these people a less terrible Scourge than his presence. We should read in the account of n'Pouque, ville the unheard-of cruelties he was guilty of against the unfortunate inhabitants of Pre.' vesa, and especially cardiki: Women plunged headlong from the top to the bot join of precipices, children sold to Mailer) , at public auctions, and men expiring on the rack, the prolongation of whose•tortures delighted the tyrant; their lands, treasures, and effects Seized by the implacable conqueror, and even the clothes of the victims deposited by his rapacious followers at 'the feet of Ali. Such are the representations which fill the reader with disgust and indiglia2 tion at every page of the life .of the Classic Tyrant. We have attached too great iMpOrtance to this man by supposing that he was ambitious of over turning the Throne of the Sultans. His peril clious' pone) , his relations with several foreign Powers Was dictated More by a desire of retain ing" EpirUS, , in the event of the dismemberment . of Turkey,' than a wish of injuring the interests - of the Porte.. On the 'contrary, he always.p.aid the contributions and tributes to the Turkish Go vermilent4ith al' punctuality that, would confer honour on . a good Prince. Avaric 7 e, next to revenge, is the predominant passion of Ali. Enormous' riches are deposited in the vaults of his Palace : his people groaned under the weight of taxes and contributions ; and we cannot form an idea of the ingenuity he dis •played in levying duties on every article which could by.. any possibility be taxed. Ills btulget , was -never taken into consideration ; his receipts -were collected at the point of the sword, and his expenses paid by a sound cudgelling, lie paid his army with clipped coin, the price of which he previously raised ; and his treasurer was always provided with bad money in readin6s to give in change for . good. A short time. before the taxes became due, he invariably published a tariff, " fixing • a nominal value on the .coin, which was to be ex-clusively, received in •payment; very inferior to - its real value. constituted -himself- the _general heir of his sUbjects; and under this Aide seized•on the' property of those who died without heirs, or who left only daughters, which is the smile thing in Turkey; and often he exacted' from infirm old men, or 'unfortunate bachelors, a fine equal to nearly the whole of" their property, for the privilege, of nominating an heir.. His thoughts were engrossed night and day - in contriVhig bow to amass wealth ; he levied contributions on the different officers of his household, his tradesmen, spies, and jailers, and no persou Could obtain an audience of his Highness, or present a petition, without giving him .money, arms, cloth, fruit, a sheep; or a fowl ; any , thing-•was acceptable, and every -thing received, 'prodded he was convinced that it was the widow's mite and the last re source of the petitioner. On' one occasion, he caused one of his collectors . to be thrown' into a tiger's den, because he hak,rheated him of about twenty pence. Women 'of prOperty could not .1 marry without his consent,- and he usually. sold Ahern to his - courtiers - and to assassins whom he Wished - to reward ; he was present at all 'their weddings, and never returned home empty handed. • 'AS landlord, tenant, .custom=house officer, ex-. f.''ciNiitoiker, and monopolist, Ali engrossed every branch of: commerce and Luz:lt:factures. Some- times his oppressions, were, marked with a cha;, racter of -violence ; at other times they assumed the appearance Of, mildness and good will' to his subject's, and evinced considerable art. Ile. ad. dressed circulars to the different piablic.authori-- ties; and - Invited those.' ' who love him to come for ward to his assistance and relieve his poverty, and it 'may be easily conceived that he 'had not to complain of any want of alacrity on the part of his subjects, in complying - with his wishes. This is- the effeet of a good reputation ! Titus and Marcui Aurelius might not perhaps' Wave been able to obtain a single o/jolus by a -likecir cular. Occasionally Asli feigned to be exceedingly affected at the misery Of his people, and orde'red the merchants into - his presence. " The times are hard," he said to them, " I know that. you have been unfortunate, and I wish to relieve you by lending • you money." Then he lent money to each'individual, at 10 or 30 percent. interest, " Make the best advantage of this money, my children," he added, and return it'to me whene ver it is in your power," lie quitted them with out giving thrn to understand that if the interest was not paid the very day it became due, -a good .cudgelling would be the portion of these uafor.
