A subscrip er this 1 3 a 'v l luds has been sent to _the Editor ov er 4_ Per, 1„ Lo th . or the purpose . of being handed f t he sot e ewntnittee. We insert the letter of ly iticii:scriber, in another column. It is cer f a the Ptlblie, P.ensable that the real sentiments arid at ; in contradiction to the vile calumnies o in 50,71-°cious falsehoods of the Radicals, should, M e 4.0-erzcaN Or other, be marked, in order that doiti;t,l-nrY may not in future be deterred .from 'lentat• their duty by the clamours and misrepre b e itt i le ns of the abettors of the mob. It must t least 4icitted, that there is an' tha. a stated b eet ,' °I Plausibility in the objection which as appearance, i a to a public subscription,—namely, 44 a t fr iretzard for the conduct of the soldiery, in t o ,il7 r t w itli a body of the people) is calculated .in illi6dde; "era, on future occasions, an alacrity 11 1. _ . iri_g the blood of their unarmed country of'.u, e si3but, what is the avowed, the real object_ e 4 0c r u scription in their favour?

It is . , as , of kr Y and tru% observed in the Resolutions 41- 6 ' BLA aEs and his friends, for their '' great egr un , e, good tenper, and discipline." They , aie net to be rewarded for what they did, hilt for what they suffixed. They are not applauded for having obtained a victory over the people; for the fact is, that the rioters obtained a. victory over the soldiers.—The military, but for their humanity, which induced them •to sit patiently on their horses, while they were loaded with in and while the rioters assailed them with brickbats and stones, until their own lives were at length in the greatest peril, and until a great number of them were actually severely injured— the military, but for their humanity, might easily have put the mob to flight, and triumphantly. carried the funeral procession over. the dead bodies of their countrymen. To have re warded them for such a victory as that, would indeed have been monstrous. But the truth is, that they are to be rewarded for not having done it ! The subscription is a just and humane intimation to the military, that the British public abhors the shedding of blood.; and that it is ready munificently to reward those soldiers who, by their " forbearance, good tem per, and discipline," shall at any time sustain the violence of a misled populace, as long as forbear ance is possible. No doubt, the Committee, in paying over the amount of the Subscription, when it is completed, will accompany the money with a distinct statement of. the principles on which the donation is - made, ,and which are recognized in the public advertisement. The clamours of the Radicals will not ,prevent the subscription from being worthy of the public gratitude. CORN-FXCMAN'Gk, SEPT. a thin supply of Wheat to-day, and an avidity in the Millers to buy, which had the effect of raising the price of the best Wheat since Monday's Market, from Is. to 2s. per quarter, and. the like advance in the inferior sorts; Barley, Beans, and Peas, as last Monday. The supply of Oats being large, and . the trade very dull, at something lower than on Monday. Accounts of a very gratifying description have been received from Ceylon, to the 9th of April. The most undisturbed tranquillity is stated to reign throughout the Island ; and the advantages of British Government are now beginning to be rapidly developed. Improvements on a large scale have lately been going on, under the super intendance of Lieutenant-Colonel WRIGHT, of the Royal Engineers. An extensive inland na vigation has been completed and opened, to faci litate the communication between Colombo and the north end of the Island, during the- south west monsoon ; and several hundred miles of new roads have been laid out, and nearly finished, throughout the interior of the Island. Works like these, in a country so thickly wooded Sind mountainous as Ceylon, must necessarily have been attended with great difficulty and labour, and their execution does credit to the zeal, abi lity, and perseverance of all engaged in them. According to advices from Curacoa of the 14th July, received at New York, a fleet of Spanish merchantmen, consisting of a ship, and nine brigs, from Cadiz, passed that island on the 12th nnder convoy of the Asia, 64 guns, and a frigate. ; bound for Vera Cruz. That great entrepot of Mexican wealth appears to be reduced to great straits ; the Governor of Havinnah, to whom ap plication had been made f o r ass i s t ance , not act- ing with sufficient promptitude in the ernharka tion of troops for that purpose, and the autho. rities themselves, of Vera Cruz, being in a state of disunion. Ad vices from Odessa of the Bth state, "Much surprise has been occasioned by the receipt of an Imperial Ukase from St. Petershurgh, depriving Odessa of the privileges of a free port for the future. A meeting of merchants was imme diately convened, when it was determined to present a Petition to the Emperor ALEXANDER, to restore the freedom of that port." Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated the 4th September :—" A vessel which arrived here this morning from St. Thomas's, brings a letter from a Royalist to a friend, dated 14th July, which states that the former left Porto Cavello on the 7th, when the Patriot army was within three miles of the walls. The garrison, it was supposed, would be compelled to surrender." BARCELONA, AnG.2s.—" The alarm we were under some days ago, in consequence of the yel low fever having broken out in the shipping, has greatly subsided, and we hope tranquillity will be perfectly restored in a few days. Fortu nately the fever has not spread, although two or three families in Barcelonetta have caught it. The deaths to this day are 40; as yet only six persons have recovered." - We have received a letter from Hesse-Cassel, which says—" On the 20th of August, the day when the Hereditary Prince (the son of our beloved Sovereign) came of age, great rejoicings took place in our capital. The beautiful sum mer residence of the Elector was most bril liantly attended ; the Court began to assemble early, and there were present, besides all the members of the Electoral House, several.branches of the Royal _Family of Prussia. During the morning the Elector received the congratu lations of the Royal visitors, and the nobility of the neighbourhood ; and in the evening an ele gant entertainment was given in celebration of the event ; on which occasion Wilhemshoche and its gardens were illuminated in a superior style. Amongst those who particularly drew the attention and admiration of the company were the two Princesses (daughters of our Elector) ; their beauty fixed the eyes of all parties, and the grace and affability which distinguished their de meanour made a permanent impression on the beholders." E. THORNTON, Esq., his Majesty's Envoy, ar rived at Lisbon on the 27th ult. from Rio Ja neiro, in the William, SMITH, and intended to proceed immediately in that vessel for England. The Dauntless, 21 (late Hon. Capt. V. GARD NER, who died at Canton), was lying at Trinco malee, preparing to sail on a secret service. The Curlew brig, 18, Captain GAMBIER, was also. in the same port. JOSEPH BUONAPARTE, whom the French Pa- pers landed in the Alorea, in the character of the Messiah of the Greeks, is, according to the Ame rican Journals, quietly enjoying the baths of Sa ratoga, under the name he assumed on his retire ment from• regal power, of Count SURYILLIEaS. P oE T it Y. CARMINA WICCAMICA.—(No. XVIII.) , . . CHELONIS, DAUGHTER OF LEONIDAS, AND WIFE OF CLEOMBROTUS: Again has raging Faction sheath'd her sword; And Sparta hails Leonidas her Lord ; Again Chelonis is ccindetnn'd to prove The sharpest misery that attends on love; She who so late, all her blooming charms; Had left a husband for a father's arms ; • Who, when Cleombrotus' the. sceptre gaited, Had all-the ease and pomp of courts distlain'd ; While life's gay scenes were .opliiing to her view, And laughing hours on wings of pleasure flew, She dar'd, unmov'd, through distant climes to go,. The tender partner of her father's woe To wipe the tear yet trembling ire hiS eye, To echo back the sympathetic sigh; - To rear his drooping spirit, and impart The balm of pity to his aching heart, To calm the rising passions of his breast; And soothe his agonizing soul to rest. To her no change of fortune brings relief, But only changes the sad course of grief ; She sees her father mount once mOre`his thron, She sees her husband fugitive, .undonee For him she feels, to him she flies again, Soft pity pleads, nor can she plead in vain. - At Neptune's shrine, behold, the suppliant band, In silent agony, their fate demand ; In mourning garb array'd, with.bosom bare, With look dejected; and dishevell'd hair, Chelonis sits ; her children round her press, And weep, unconscious of their own distress ; O'er the sad group the wretched husband bends - ; The frequent sigh his care-worn.bosom rends ; In wild despaie he darts the madd'ning glance, And, lost in grief, stands fix' in speechless trance. Nought moves Leonidas, his dark eyes roll, • And speak the gloomy purpose of his soul E'en now, in thought, he sees hi s v i c ti m bleed, And inward smiles, exulting at the deed ;' Again, half-pitying, to his daughter turns, Again wild anger in his bosom burns : " Ah ! see (Chelonis cries) this garb of woe This visage pale with gr i e f ; t hi s care-worn brow; Not for my husband were these sad weeds warn, Not for his sorrows were my tresses torn, My father's lot I mourn'd, and at his call I left my husband, children, country, all ! On him, though fortune smile, yet shall I see A husband plung'd in woe and misery ?.. And yet, too like th' unfeeling . world rejoice, Unmov'd by nature, and by pity's voice. Ah ! no, if doom'd by too severe a fate, .He falls the victim of remorseless hate, - Thy daughter, - once lov'd daughter, tho' that name, Alas ! no more can gentle pity claim, • ith him,- her only hope shall yield her breath, In woes united, nor disjoin'd by death. But, oh if pity e'er that breast could move ; If e'er, too stern, thou'st felt what 'tis to love, If e'er thou knew'st what 'tis the wretch to cheer, To wipe from misery's eye the gushing tear, To bid affliction's bursting sorrows cease, And-to. thearoubled spirit whisper peace, Oh ! spare him, spare him, hear me, by these tears, Did ever father spurn a daughter's pray'rs ? Jr I, on whom you have so often smil'd, • So often call'd your best lov'd, dearest child, If I have lost that often boasted charm, That could thy anger of its rage disarm, • • • - • lf nought avail th' entreaties of a wife, Yet for these children, spare their father's life; Think how, poor babes, condemred afar to roam Orphans untriended, and without a horne, Perhaps compell'd to beg their scanty bread Of those, their parents' former .bounty fed, Rejected, seoff'd at by th' insulting crowd That once beneath their father's sceptre bow'd, How shall they mourn that unrelenting rage, - Which threw them helpless on the. world's wild stage ! To Jove the wretch's and the orphan's friend, Their just avenger, shall their cries ascend ; With bins their aufrring spirits shall find rest, When mad despair shall rack thy tortur'd breast; Curs'd, curs'd ambition, at thy dread commands, • • I • To burst affection's nearest, iencl'reSt bands, • Thou steel'st the.heart:gainst mercy's gentle cause, And nature mourns her violated laws. • Oh ! thou hast taught a parent to despise A mother's sorrows, and a daughter's cries. Oh ! think that mercy is the brightest gem That decks the Monsrch's regal diadem ; Think, he that learns his fallen foe to spare, Without a Crown a Al oaarc h' s name m i g h t bearl: . • An earthly sceptre, chance may take.or give, But deeds of mercy shall for ever live They shall- the blast of scandal's breath defy Beyond the breach of time and pow'r of destiny. Ali ! does no link, no tender tie remain, To lure thee back to mercy's path again, There does ! there does ! else why that pitying sigh? It sounds more grateful than the shout of victory ! See ! he relents, oh ! still my parent kind Does mercy rule again my father'S mind Oh shall he live ?" " lie shall ;" returns the chief, " At thy request I grant his forfeit life, Go hence, Cleombrotus, hence to some distant clime, And there an exile mourn thy daring crime ; Hut thou my daughter"—"'What. dust thou bid me stay, While far my husband bends his lonely way ; Shall he from fortune's stmunit headlong hurl'd A wretched exile, outcast of the world, • While sorrow's keenesepangs his bosom rend, Look round in mis'ry's hour and find no friend ! Shall he, by black misfortune's train pursued, Be doorn'd to feel the pangs of sharp ingratitude ? Ah ! no; my husband, all thy toils I'll share, Give sigh for sigh, and answer tear for tear. Arise, in other landS we'll seek for joy Where no stern Parent will our peace annoy. • Come, my poor childr e n, w i t h y our mot h er fly With hearts unstain'd, these seats of cruelty : And thou, great Neptune, with propitious pow'r Regard our sorrow s in eac h trying hour ; Whether through burning desalts lies our way, Painting beneath the Sun's o f erpoering ray, Where scorching whirlwinds blot the aching sight • And fell-ey'd tigers howl.the watch of night; Or where through barren trackless plains, afar Stern Winter ever rolls his icy car, May soft compassion in their breasts prevail, . And pity weep to hear our mournful tale. Oh ! may'st thou guide us to some peaceful shore Where woes may cease and sorrow be no more." 1M1R51163111016.211021 • REGISTER. OF FASHION.

ANECDOTES Upon a forced march in the second Sile§ieb war, the King of Prussia - rode at the flank of a troop of horse, and heard one of the Men in a distant part of the troop curse and swear in a most dreadful .manner. He then rode nearer, and heard the soldier, with the Most shocking oaths and impre cations say, " that he wished this. 4--d life had one day.. or other an end." " You are right, my son," cried the king, " so do I ; —but w h a t is t o b e d one ? W e must wa i t patiently till.peaCe . can beinede." .The kite Dr. YOUNG had occasion to pay a visit. to Archbishop Potter's son, then Rector of Chiddingstone, near Tunbridge. This Gentleman lived in a country where the roads were deep and miry: Dr. You: , (G, after much dan ger and difficulty, arrived at the hotse, wh en h e i nqu i re d w h ose field that was he had just crossed.

From an account of the quantity of Sheep and Lamb Wool imported into Great Biitain, it appears that during 13 years prior to the rear 1814, the annual average amount was about seven millions of pounds, and during the seven years sub sequent to that period, it was no less than fifteen millions. In 1319; the quantity imported exceeded twenty-six millions of _pounds. lOR fik SUPT: THE LIFE GrLIARD.

Surely It is highly deSirtible that the general approbation shall be marked by some more sub stantial testimony, that some More substantial Compensation shall be afforded for their unme-• rite(' sufferings, that some more substantial reward ;hall be bestowed upon their unexceptionable be haviour, Whensoever their services have been re quired in aid of the Civil Power.. Not to trouble you with a lengthy communication, I have only further to expreSs a fervent hope that the publiC bounty will be worthy of a liberal and generou4 people ; that this public tribute will be such that the sentiment conveyed by it shall be un equivocally and decisively national ; and that it will be such as to convince the dark 'con- • spirators against the public peace, that, if they will plot together for the . purpose •of deterring publie(men from a faithful discharge of their duty by inspiring terror, or wearying them out by creating disgust, the loyal and re spectable are resolved to counteract that system of intimidation and outrage by opposing to it the cheering assurance that, henceforward, no man Shall suffer by his zeal for the public service.— To Mr. BLADES and his patriotic friends the thanks of the community, for their honourable exertions in this honourable cause, 'are justly due. Consonant as those exertions are to the general feeling, and anticipated, as their kind and beneficent purpose was by the general wish, it is to be hoped that they will not suffer it to be defeated by the rascally threats of the very- . scribblers whose incendiary stimulants stirred up the populace to the excesses which have*render ed this subscription more than expedient —a duty. Farnham, Sept. 6, 1821. • R. *„* We acknowledge with pleasure the Five Pounds co -, tained in this Letter, which we have transmitted to the Ho norary Secretary of the Committee of Gentlemen who have so laudably come forward in support of an insulted and injured class of our military defenders, who, in all respects, deserve the est.sem and admiration cf their countrymen. FOR THE SUN. • CORONER'S INQUEST.* * Ma. Enrron--The proceedings of the pending - Coroner's inquest must - he deeply interesting to - all who feel any regard for their individ ua l c i v il' liberty, and the integrity of the athninistratiwof , the laws. I have not failed to watch them daily, through the channel of your paper, with the most scrupulous attention; and as soon as they might be concluded, it was my intention to request.the notice of your - readers to some particular' points of them. But I ahsiain from ever y thi ng o f t h e kind, while so solemn an inquiry remains uncle- • cided, in direct opposition to the example of the factious writers, who comment, exaggerate, and. distort without end; to the disgrace of a free press. It is with respect to one of these that I ' wish la say a few words. In an extract from the Morning Chronicle, in your paper of Monday -- last, (for scarce ever read the Chronicle itself) I find the unfortunate men who lost their lives at. Cumberland-gate - designated as " the murdered individuals."—May I hope, Sir, that this is a mistake of your Printer ? If it be not, what. language will characterize the conduct of the Morning Chronicle . ?" It is - true that in one of these cases a Coroner's Jury. has returned a ver dict of " Wilful Murder ;" but in the other a most solemn investigation is at this moment tak ing place, to prejudice which is (whatever the. .Editor of the Chronicle may think) neither more nor less than to countenance MURDER. ; It is de liberately to endeavour to - influence a verdict. which involves the lives of individuals. Such being the atrocity of the conduct of the Chronicle, I only think it necessary to -point out the passage to your readers, that they may see what credit is due to its account of transactions, on the nature of which it ventures to decide while yet unde cided -by a judicial tribunal. Such conduct is not reconcilable with . common humanity ; but our Editor pretends to something more. We see the worth of his pretences. PIT ILISONOMCE. It appears, by the twenty-seventh Report of the London Missionary Society, that the great change produced at Otaheite by the introduction of Christianity is gradually becoming known in the other islands of the vast Southern ocean. Advices, just received from America, state, that the chiefs and people of three of the Sandwich islands; learning the important and 'beneficent effects of this change, had totally renounced idola try, and had committed to the flames eveey ves tige of it. Tamoree, King of •the island of Atooi, had expressed a strong desire, that per sons should come and teach his people to lAad and write, as had been done in the Georgia.n.4o4 Society islands. \
