Here h °o they were pressed by the Tartars; and ere they were forced to cede, 1229, the whole rPalestine to the crusading Christians, which, . 1 1 2wever, they soon regained, taking Jerusalem, and putting to the sword, without distinc i;en or mercy, man, - woman, and child. After , t 45 various-contests arising in the Turkish ern rre, it fell for a time into small independent ern s and remained without a head until t ,' e rise of OTHIMAN, who, about the year 1300, i s umed the title of Sultan, fixing his empire at r 4 .3 5, in 13ythinia; and in whom the Ottothan and name originated. In 1338, the or re-organized Turkish power first ob :lned a footing in Europe. In 1360, it established itself at Adrianople ; and at Cpn -I,:lltinople in 1453, thus fixing a foreign and Iliru,,arous power in our quarter of the globe, th tic ,h by successive conquests subjugated all, ofi n lbabitants of some of the finest countries l a " ?

MURDER. AND PIRACY.—On Thursday,'six persons, includ ing the mate and cook of the schooner. Jane, which sailed from Gibraltar in May last, for the Brazils, with specie, were landed from the Prince of Wales Evise cutter, at Newhaven, under a warrant of the Judge Admiral, and lodged in the Calton Hill jail. We understand they are accused of themurder of Capt. Johnston, the master, and James Paterson, the steersman, of the Jane, and of having afterwards taken out a quantity of the specie, amount ing to 40,000 dollars, and then scuttling and sinking the vessel. —The prisoners were taken into custody at Lewis, near Storno way. The account we have- heard of theirapprehension is, that a strange sail had been observed off Stornoway the night before, and, having next morning disappeared, the revenue officers, pre suming her to have been a smuggler, went in search, and at length perceiving some persons, and temporary erections on the shore at Lewis, went and examined some chests, &c. which had been brought ashore. The officers were coming off, satisfied that they were not what they had taken them for, when one of the crew, a boy, having separated himself from the rest, confessed the whole affair to the officers, when they Returned, and took them into custody. Upwards of thirty-one thousand dollars were found buried in the sand. The names of the prisoners are, Peter Heaman, the mate, an Englishman ; Francois Gan tiez, cook, a Frenchman ; Robert Strachan and Peter Smith, natives of Montrose; John Hard, art Italian; and Andrew Comelier, a boy, a native of Malta. James Paterson, the steers man, who was killed, was a native of Arbroath.—(Edinburgh Courant, Aug. 4.) EMIGRATION.—There is now in Leith Roads a fine ship, the Castle Forbes, destined for New South Wales, with passengers,• being the third vessel of her siz: which in the course of twelve months has been fitted out at this port, for the above destination, under the direction of Mr. Broadfoot, broker. The Castle Forbes, we understand, will fake out 130 emigrants, nearly one hundred of whom are cabin passengers, comprising capitalists, of opulence an d high respectability. We regret that the commerce and agricul ture of our own country are no longer considered worthy ob jects of their speCulation. This transumption of capital cannot fail to enrich the land of promise for which they are embarked. (Edinburgh Courant.) AFRICA.—EXtract of a Letter from Captain COLLIVER, a Gentle Man belonging to the county of Cornwall, and who is an Officer in the service of the African Company : " Cape Coast Castle, April 21, 1821. " By the time you receive this it is. probable the African Company will have ceased to exist; we have received orders to hold ourselves in readiness to deliver up the Forts and Settle ments here to Government. It is understood they are to be put on the same footing as Sierra Leone. A list has been fur nished to Government by the Company's Committee, of their Officers, their age, length of service, the situations they fill, their emoluments, &c. We have been blockaded here since the 10th of February, by the Ashantees (an African tribe), who have commenced hostilities against us. On the day before mentioned, our Governor received intelligence that a black man belonging to Cape Coast, where the people are under our pro tection, had been cruelly . murdered by a Chief of the Fan tees, at a place about six miles from Cape Coast, called Moree. I was immediately ordered to assemble all the sol diers 1 could, in five minutes, and proCeed to Moree, to seize the murderer. I quickly set off with four officers and 85 soldiers. A little before we entered the town of Moree, where the savages, between 2 and 3,000 in number, were as 'sembled, we saw the mangled remains of their unfortunate vic tim. The town stands near the top of a hill, on the summit of which is an old Dutch Fort. As soon as we entered the town, a fire was opened upon us ; but as my orders were to seize the murderer, if possible, without bloodshed, I did not for some time allow the men to return the fire. However, perceiving they were resolved to oppose us, I gave directions to my little party to give them a volley and then to charge. The negroes re tired as we advanced, and in less than an hour we gained the hill, from which our opponents fled in every direction. We de manded the keys of the fort from the principal man belonging to Moree ; who not being engaged in the affair had remained, and who immediately gave them up. In the fort, which has a draw-bridge, we were perfectly secure from the attack of the negroes. The body we defeated were Fantees, who were as sembled to assist the Ashantees in enforcing some very unjust demands made by them on the people of Cape Coast. As soon as the Ashantees who reside near Cape Coast learned that the Governor had sent an armed force against their friends, their drum beat to arms, and they hastened after us ; fortunately we had defeated our opponents before they . arrived. However, they rallied the'Fantees, and took a position about half a mile from the town, with a determination to oppose our little party. The Governor, apprised of our situation, assembled all the force he could muster, and speedily about 5000 of the Cape Coast people, headed by our officers and carrying the British flag, were seen approaching. The enemy immediately retired, and we were relieved from our disagreeable situation, after having been from nine in the morning till four in the afternoon exposed to a burning sun, without refreshment. The negroes had 47 kill d and upwards of 100 wounded in this affair; we had one soldier kill. d and four wounded. Since the affair we have not seen one of the Ashantees or the Fantees here, and a total stoppage of trade has taken place. We have not learned how the King of Ashantee intends to act, nor is it safe to venture out of our limits, except in large parties." The following paragraph appears in The Morn ing Chronicle of this day : " Mrs. INCiIDALD has left behind her Memoirs of her Life, with anecdotes of the persons connected with her age and the times in which she lived. • It extends to four or six volumes, and the extreme delicacy and timidity of her feeling alone pre. vented its appearing during her life-time." This paragraph is wholly destitute of truth. We stated yesterday upon full authority, that the memoirs in question were deStroyed by the positive direction of Mrs. INCHBALD, nearly in her last moments, and we deem it necessary to repeat the fact, that they were absolutely de stroyed, lest some person should attempt to lin pose upon public credulity by a fictitious biogra phy, professed to be written by a Lady whose delicacy, indeed, opposed a publication which we are persuaded would have done honour to herself and have been useful to the world, as the result of a penetrating mind and extensive 'ob servation. We repeat also upon full authority, that she had several times been offered a thousand pounds for the manuscript, but rejected all offers, and solemnly enjoined a female friend to de stroy it, and who faithfully obeyed the dying requisition of the author. The Earl of LIVERPOOL and Lord SrnmouTn were expected at Pitchford Park, Shropshire, the seat of the Hon. C. C. JENKINSON, on Fri day last ; in ifeir route to Holyhead, to embark for Ireland. The Sixth Anniversary of the Hampshire Eton Society was holden at the White Hart on Thurs day last, RICHARD BETHELL Cox, Esq., in the Chair, which was respectably attended. His Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON and W. SLOANE, Esq. were nominated,as Stewards for the ensuing year. The dinner, wines, and dessert, were of the best kind, and did credit to Mr. STANING, the Master of the Inn. OF TO A DYING INFANT; Sleep, little baby! sleep ! Not in thy cradle bed, Not on thy mother's breast Henceforth shall be thy rest, But quiet with the. dead. Yes—with the quiet dead; Baby, thy rest shall be. Oh ! many a weary Wight, Weary of life and light, Would fain lie down with thee: Flee little tender nursling ! Flee to thy grassy nest ! There the first flowers shall blow, The first pure flake of sno w Shall fall upon thy breast. . Peace ! Peace ! the little bosom Labours with short'ning breath— Peace ! Peace ! that tremulous sigh Speaks his departure nigh— Those arc tne damps of death. • I've seen thee in thy beauty, _ L IA thing all he a lth an d g l ee; But never the wert thou So beautiful, as now, Baby ! thou seeest to me. Thine up-turn'd eyes glaz'd over, Like harebells wet with dew ; Already veil'd and hid By the convulsed lid, Their pupils darkly blue. Thy little mouth half open— The soft lip quivering, As if (like summer air Ruffling the rose leaves) there Thy soul was fluttering. Mount up, immortal essence ! Young spirit ! haste, depart—, And is this death ?—Dread Thing ! If such thy visiting, How beautiful thou art ! • Oh ! I could gaze for ever Upon that waxen face : So passionless ! so pure ! The little shrine was sure An angel's dwelling-place. Thou weepest, childless Mother ! Aye, weep.—'Twill ease thine inut— ile was thy first born Son, . Thy first, thine only one, 'Tis - hard from him to part ! 'Tis hard to lay thy darling Deep in the damp cold earth—. His empty crib to see, His silent nursery, Once gladsome with his mirth, To meet again in slumber, His small mouth's rosy kiss ; Then, waken'd with a start By thine own throbbing heart, His twining arms to miss ! To feel (half conscious why) A dull, heart sinking weight, Till Memory on thy soul Flashes the painful whole, That thou art desolate ! And then to lie and weep, And think the live-long night (Feeding thine own distress With accurate greediness) Of every past delight ; Of all his winning ways, His pretty, playful smiles, His joy at sight of Thee, His tricks, his mimickry, And all his little wiles ! Oh.! these are recollections Round mothers' hearts that cling— That mingle with the tears And smiles of after years, With oft awakening. But thou wilt then, fond mother ! In after years, look back, (Time brings such wondrous easing) With sadness not unpleasing, Even on this gloomy tract. Thou'lt say " my first born blessing ! It almost broke my heart When thou •overt forc'd to go, And yet, for thee, I know, 'Twas better to depart. " God took thee in his mercy A lamb, untask'd, untried ; He fought the fight for thee, He won the : victory, And thou art sanctified ! " Ilook around and see The evil ways of men ; And oh ! beloved child ! I'm more than reconciled To thy departure then. " The little arms that clasp'd me, Th' innocent lips that prest,— Would they have been as pure Till now, as when of yore, I lull'd thee on my breast ? " Now (like a dew drop - shrined Within a crystal stone) Thou'rt safe in heaven, my dove ! Safe with. the Source of Love, The Everlasting One. " And "when the hour arrives From flesh that sets me free, Thy spirit may await The first at heaven's gate. To meet and welcome me." C. THE Peascrss AUGUSTA.—ThiS amiable Prin- CPAS, who has always been zealous to encourage and to patronise merit, lately condescended to sit for her portrPit to Miss CROPLEY, a lady who deservedly holds a very high rank as an artist, and who, as a copyist of the old Masters, is, per haps, without a rival. The likeness of our, amia ble Princess is exact, and the work, which is admirable in point of art, expresses very suc cessfully the benevolent mind of the estimable original. ENGLIsn OPERA Housr.--,—The new musical piece entitled The Witch of Derncicugh, re modelled from the p3pular Romance of Guy Mannering, and of which we gave a favourable report on its first representation, increases in attraction, and has no enemy at present but the beauty of the weather. It was followed last night by the excellent farce of No Song no Supper, written by an author whose dramatic muse bas been so successful that the public may well re gret that she does not indulge them with more of her productions, all of which are marked by classical taste as well as genuine humour. This diverting piece last night introduced Mrs.BALLs, from the York Theatre;for the first time on Lon don boards, in the part of Margaretta. A Lon don audience forms a terrific tribunal to all pro vincial performers, however successful, and it most probably operated so much upon the new actress as to prevent her exerting her musical powers to full advantage, but as an actress she sustained the character with propriety and effect. She possesses what is styled a good stage figure, and altogether seems worthy of being imported by a London Manager. The farce was well supported in general by llAnuir, BARTLEY, PEARMAN, BROADHURST, Miss I. STEVENSON, and Miss HOLDAWAY. Earl TALBOT and a small party visited the Dublin theatre on Wednesday last to see The Duenna. Miss STEPHENS played Clara. Th is Lady's engagement closed on Friday. ftEOISTF.,II, OF •., Lord Viscount BEARHAVEN, whd lately had the honour of being. introduced at the K t:4o's Levee, or hiS arrival at age, is eldeSt son of the Earl of BAi;ii.a:sc,. and grandnephew of RoataT HEDGES, Esq., the hospitable and digniiied pro• prietor of 141acroorri UAst.l6 hear Cork. • Lord and Lady - LouitAiN and family, Sir CHARLES BLOTS and family, and the CountesS of LINSINGEN and family, are enjoyifig the refresh ing breezes of the German Ocean at the Suffolk bathing place of Aldborough.

Fussy CLUB REGATTA.-Yesterday a row ing match took place on the Thames, for a Prize Wherry given by the Gentlemen of the Funny Club, to be rowed for in two heats by seven pair of oars.

The prisoner directly made up to Mr. Gallahar, and solicited charity, as he said lie was a poor man out of work. Mr. :Mahar suspecting that the prisoner intended re: bing him, contrived to slip hiS purse between his neckcloth, and then bade the prisoner go on, 'as he had nothing to give. Prisoner said, he must, and would have two pounds, and directly struck Mr. Gallaher a severe blow over the head. Mr. Gallahar ret irnect the compliment with such violence, that the prisoner was laid prostrate ; but immediately recovering himself, again attacked Mr. Gallaher, and was again knocked down. Ile now called to his companion to assist him, and both of them se t on M r . Gallahar, who kept them at bay for three quarters of an hour, until at length overcome by violent exertion, he fell to the ground. The prisoner then jumped :on him, and searched I's packets ; finding them empty, lie was so enraged, that in the most brutal manner, he attempted to knock Mr. Gallahar's brains out by beating his head against the ground : • fortunately at this instant, a person came up to his assistance, and the pri soner, after a desperate struggle, was secured. His companion made off.—Remanded for Monday next. ROBBER'S DlSTURBED.—lnformatiop being re ceived that gangs of robbers infested the Harrow road, and parts leading thereto, it was resolved to disturb them; and Hum phries, with a party of officers of Paddington, proceeded on Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, to the above spot, in order to watch their manoeuvres. On the arrival of the ofli:;ers in the Harrow road they met a most formidable gang of desperate thieves, who, recognizing the officers, one exclaimed in a low voice, " Here's the,badger," meaning Humphries; they went on, but were closely watched by the party, until they arrived in a bye part of the road, when Humphries was convinced. from their conduct that they were about no good, and the whole of the officers went up and endeavoured to apprehend them, when a desperate re s ist a nc e was ma d e , an d a cry ra i sed, " Murder them !" Having pistols, the officers succeeded in apprehending four of the party ; the others decamped with al passible speed. The prisoners were taken to the watch-house, but the officers, on endeavouring to unlock the door, found the key-hole stuffed with stones and gravel, and the lock destroyed, no doubt by the prisoners' companions. However, they were locked up and se irched, when several knives were found on them, but nothing which might lead to the discovery of any depredation they might have committed. Humphries has since received several anony mous letters, swearing vengeance against him, and threatening his life. The parties in custody were taken before-a Magistrate, and held to bail.
