\ wandant.Gen. of the Province immediately tom tnunitated their contents to the inhabitants; to. gether with the determination of that Assembly to refer the Message to a Special Committee. the Wishes of Cadiz having thus been complied with, and her Petitions being under the consideration of the fathers of the country, the Commandant ex horted the population to await their decision with calmness and composure. On the same day, the Provincial deputation addressed a Memorial to the Cortes, iu which they enumerate the Acts of the Administration, which, in the opinion of the Memorialists, demonstrate the guilt of its members, and then ask," whether the people who have wit nessed the same are to hold their tongues, blindly to obey, and .even to suffer themselves to be bound op for the sacrifice ?. Are they to suppress their complaints until they he enslaved ? If even Mader the old system the laws allowed mis chievous orders to he resisted, can such resist ance be illegal under the reign of freedom ? No constitution, no code, can he in opposition to the-Supreme, to the fundamental law of the sal vation of the country." The Memorial then re minds the Cortes, that the wishes and prayers of the City of Cadiz are also those of the whole pro vince—those of Seville—those of Galicia ; in .liort, those of many other parts of the Mo narchy which equally distrust Ministers, and are equally determined to oppose them, to protect their liberties from all attacks. The Memorial con cludes as follows :—" Elected by the people, and especially appointed to maintain their rights, what Side willithe Cortes take in this contest between the people and poWer? Which ought to be their first care, public security, or the continuance of discredited Ministers in office ?" (Morning Pape}!-.)

SUPPG6ED LOSS OF THEVULIANA EAST INDIA- MAN. The Juliana, Captain OGILVIE, whose arrival from India in the Downs was announced about ten days ago, was, on the morning of the 23d in stant, blown out of Margate Roads, and, melan choly to relate, it was this morning posted at LLOYD'S, that there is strong reason to suppose she has been lost on the Kentish Knock, and only two men saved. , , • 7 rum ENGLAND COFFEE-110USE, 12 O'CLOCK The Juliana East Indianan,•Captain Oumviu, is lost on the Kentish Knock, and we are sorry to say that the whole of her crew have perished, excepting two persons. The Captain and his two brothers have perished ; they had made a raft, and numbers ventured on it, hut in attempt ing to gain the shore, they were all washed oir. The reported Revolution at Constantinople is not yet confirmed. We look with anxiety for authentic intelligence of an event, on which the 'fate of the Turkish Power, and the restoration of the Greek E:npire, so matel•iially depend.— Though our Contemporaries may be surprised at this (to .them) unlooked-for occurrence, and though the rumour of it has filled with dismay the advocates for " the maintenance of the Peace of Europe," and for 44 the preservation of the in tegrity and independence of the Empire of the Sublime Porte," we have Jong anticipated the event, .as a certain consequence of a treaty of peace between Turkey and Russia, or even of the protraction of pacific negociations.— On the surface of things, it seemed as if. the Porte, at war with its own subjects, des titute of internal vigour, of resources, of a well disciplined army, and of allies, had no alternative but to submit at once to the demands of Russia. To us, however, it always appeared evident, that, notwithstanding the seeming des potism of ,the Grand Signor, he dared not irri tate his - barbarian subjects, by entering into any treaty with a Christian . Power which they might think derogatory to the honour of their sublime empire. In THE SUN of August 2.Bth, we said, " Those persons who ripply any of the ordinary " maxims of prudence or policy to the Turks, 44 betray utter ignorance of the character, and " condition of that barbarous people, and of the " nature of their Government. Though the Sul -66 tan and his Divan apparently exercise uncon " trolled power, and though they might be dis -64 posed to make the most abject submissions to " Europe, for the purpose of being allowed to cc retain a little while longer their tyrannous " authority, yet the question of peace or war g 4 does not really depend upon them, but upon cc the will of Ike ignorant populace and the fero -44 cious soldiery, who have too little foresight, and are too obdo,rate and brutal, to calculate " the Consequences of their own blind fcry, whi6ll, once roused, is not to be restrained by , 4 any thing but stverior force, in which case " the Sultan must yield to their demands, or " pay the price of his temerity witla his head." Further reflection served but to strengthen us in this opinion ; and on the .c.).4th. Sep tember, at a time when we had assurances from various , quarters that " there was to be "no war in Europe," we added, " if the " conditions said to have been demanded from " the Porte by Russia be correctly stated, it is quite evident that the Porte has no alternatiVe " but war. Even if the Divan should manifest. o " disposition favourable to this „iirtual surrender " or the independence of the Ottoman Empire, " the Turkish people and soldiery would not " suffer them to carry the design into execu " tion. They mill immolate the Grand Signor, " and all his Officers of State, rather than " tamely surrender to a people (the Rus " sians) whom they both despise and hate, " the absolute controul over the future con " dition of the countries now subject to-their bar- , ". barons sway."—These are pretty distinct pre dictions of an event, which all Eth.ope - at this moment believes to have been at .length accorn plished.—ShOuld, however, the rumour prove premature, we are convinced' that the Porte must declare war against Russia, or that to this com plexion it must come at, last. Extract of a Letter frbm Columbus (A.) Nov. 15. " The following Was written on the margin of a way-bill received in this town :—‘ Putman, 0., 12th Nov.—Zanesville is on fire, and has been these two hours, and all attempts to extinguish the flames have as yet proved abortive : one square is already consumed ; there is no telling where its ravages will end."' Extract of a Letter from New York, Dec. 1. " A brisk correspondence is going on between the Secretary of State and the new Spanish Mi nister, ANDAGUA ; ibis supposed to rs.nlate to the Florida Affairs, and the Protests of Messrs.CAL LOVA and COPPINGER. The affairs and claims under the Florida Treaty, if I am not mistaken, will present a scene such as has not been often represented. There is a mystery that remains to be unravelled. It appears that Don Coxts was willing to claim a larger sum than five millions in the Treaty, but the American negociator would not consent to insert more than five millions. The claim altogether amounts perhaps to forty millions, though probably not more than twenty are good." CoLumm t.—Congress have decreed the ho nour of . a triumph to General Bomv.trt and his Army, to be celebrated in the City of Carracas, and the erection of a triumphal commemorative coluthu on the field of Carabobo, with inscrip tions and records of the names of the most. distin guished men. It is somewhat curious that a Writer in an Opposition Paper of this day, who signs himself Phdo-Verita,F, beghts with an appeal to that Pa per as " the medium of justice and humanity," and ends with the following passage : I have only to hope, that the (wand Turk, in his last will and testament (which I understand he made the day on which Baron Strogonoff left Constantinople) has left fifty of his (attest wives to the friendly care and guardianship of the. Editors of The Courier, as a mark of respect and esteem for their well-meant advocacy of Mahomettnisml" Now where is the proof of " humanity" in the Writer thus lightly to advert to the report of the massacre of the GRAND SEIGNIOR, &c. &c., or, his regard to justice and love of truth, in taking it for granted (as he does in a preceding part of his letter) that a Gentleman in a high official si tuation, whom he delicately. accuses of " Irish jobbing," employs himself in writing for The Courier, or any other Paper, for the same Gen tleman has been, we are assured, as erroneously charged with writing for John Bull We say nothing of the illiberality of imputing to the Gentleman alluded to, upon mere conjec ture, an hostile disposition towards the glorious cause of Grecian independence. [Extract of a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Deal, dated .27th inst.] " The following is an Extract of a Letter we have received this morning :—' The Light is in a very dangerous state, but I am in hopes to keep as good a light as.before ; should it re ceive any further damage by wind, you shall be immediately acquainted with it.—Lydd, Dec. 2G, " • MAIL CoAcuEs.—The progress of the Mail Coaches is much impeded by the great floods. A bridge near to Staines having given way, and the road being also overflowed between Staines and Egham, the , Western Bags were ferried over in boats at two places—both those leaving Lon don last night and, those due this morning. The usual exertions of the Post Office are applied to maintain as much regularity as is practicable un der such difficulties. We understand that snow has fallen in the West, and that there have been sharp frosts at night in many parts of the country.

It is reported that Foster Archer, Esq., the present Inspector General of Prisons, is about to retire on a pension, and two gen denten, of the names of Bland Low and Baillie, are mentioned as his successors, according to the provisions of the late .Prison Act, which requires that two should .be appointed to fill this situation.—(ll:o d.)- STAINES BRIDGE.—We are sorry to learn that this bridge has been washed away by the heavy floods, and that great part of Battersea is under w titer. It was yesterday currently reported in the higher circles, that a successor to a very high confidential situation near his MAJESTY'S person had been named, and that Sir Wm-KNIGHTON had received an intimation to tat4 - effect.— (Mornin t g Chronicle.)

A most numerous assemblage of the first persons of distinction are invited to dine with his MAJESTY upon this occasion. It is ex pected that the grand ball, which has for some time been talked of, will take place immediately after, .and before the company separate. It is with pleasure we have to state, that the exports of British manufactures to the United States, from this port, are at present more consi derable than has been known for some time past ; and not on the manufacturers' account, but in consequence of orders from America, and, we believe, in many' instances, the goods are paid for before they leave this country.—(Limpool Ad vertiser.)

CHRISTMAS PRESENT.—An immense pie, com posed of hares,turkey, goose,pheasants, partridges, Sz - ,c., weighing upwards of .701 b., and tastefully decorated with the city arms, and other appropri ate ornaments, in pastry, by Mr. Turner, the city cook, is about to be sent up to London, as a pre sent to Alderman John Williamson, from a few of his Chester friends.—(Chester Chronicle.) THE BOND PROPERTY.—Ott, readers cannot have quite forgotten the extraordinary circum stance of the immense sum of money (100,000/. at least) left mtdevised, by Mrs. SARAH BOND, a few months since. The natural consequence of such a circumstance has been the assertion of various and very numerous claims of affinity in several parts of the country ; but we have some, and no small, reason for believing, that the suc cessful claimant is at this moment a gardener, re siding and labouring in Cheltenham. His name is Evans, and if we be not misinformed, he is now in the employment of Tomlius, Esq. From what we have been enabled to glean, it appears that a professional gentleman, nearly connected with the family of Bond, of Marsh field, in endeavouring to trace the pedigree of the branch with which he was immediately con cerned, discovered the relationship of gardener Evans, and, with a spirit that must reflect immor tal honour on his name, has undertaken the poor man's cause in so liberal a mangler, as nothing but the most perfect confidence of success could warrant. Happy, shall vre . be in recording that s access.—( Cheltpham Chronicte.) POETRY. IMPROMPTU.

DUPIN , in his View of the Nazics of Eng land and 1 , rfiWce, repeates the thousand times refuted ac cusation of the revolutionary Government againstlins country, that we ill treated our prisoners of war. The " Quarterly Re view," jnst piiblished, goes into the most minute and accurate investigation of this charge in all its branches, and not only,Te fetes it, but chews that the prisoners of war in England were maintained in a state of health and comfort quite extraordinary for persons. in their situation. In Sept. 1813, there were on board the prison-ships in Portsmouth harbour, 9,227 prisoners in health, .and . l39 sick ; at the Same time, in Forton prison, near Portsmonth, there were 3798 in health, and 174 sick ; and, in 1811, when Dartmoor prison Was inspected, there were 6538 in health, and thirty-six sick. A still more remarkable fact, however, came under .our own personal observation at Perth, in the autumn of 1813: there were nearly .7,038 prisoners in the depot; of ,whoM the sick amounted only to fourteen, a proportion very far indeed below that of the healthiest town of an equel population at any period, and in any part of the Aibbe ; It is unnecessary to go into the other details of the Reviewer, all of which are equally conclusive against the calumnies which it reflects so ranch discredit on' M. Dupin's judgi, , ent to have listened .to for a moment. We wish we could say, that the charge against France, of not having taken adequate.massures, to put a stop to a commerce which, she had declared to be so odious, and so strongly condemned by the laws of 'religion and of nature, was no better substantiated than that of M. Dupin.

M'yst entoi;s Rowlett:l%—A very remarkable robbery' was cennnitted a few days ago -at the Athenaeum, in this place. It is often the practice with some gentlemen who reside at a dis tance from town to have their letters deposited in .a box, placed in the Athereweum for that purpose, and .which, for greater convenience, is divided. into what are called pigeon -boles and alphabeted. —This is chiefly practised on aSunday morning-, when the letters are thus deposited by a clerk, and taken away by any. part of the family who may happen•to tome to town in the, coarse of the day. On the morning of Sunday the 9th in stant, -two letters, which were placed in the-box . . above mentioned, as the roorn , keeper well recollects, were soon afterwards taken away. by some person who had no right to do so ; and this fact came to light in the course of a few days, in consequence of letters arriving from the correspondents, who had written the sto len letters, desiring to know why the receipt of tham had •not been acknowledged in the due course of post. Both of them contained inclosures, one of which was a poliCy of insurance, of no use but to the owner, but the other contained Bank bills and notes to the value of 1501. The Committee of the Athenaeum has been .summoned to investigate this singular transaction, but nothing concerning it of any importance has been disco vered. We understand that these bills, which were especially indorsed, were presented at the Bank of England for payment on the Tuesday after they had been stolen, by a person who gave his address " John Cooper, 97, Piccadilly ;" and they were paid in sovereigns. It is unnecessary to say, that when inquiry was made in Piccadilly, no such person lived there.4—(Liverpool Paper.) . Mur.oEn.—About ten at night, the .Bth in stant, Thomas Evans, blacksmith, .of Rhyd fendigaid, in the parish of 'Caron, Cardigan shire, was most inhumanly murdered. Thee persons have been committed to Cardigan giv4,. under the - Coroner's warrant, a verdict of Wil ful Murder having been returned against them. A Murder has not been committed in that neigh. , bouthood within the memory of the oldest person; and such .':as the sensation felt on the present occasiono.fre44t44-e.lorty men came- voluntarily on the Sunday morning (though •the Sabbath is perhaps more religiously respected in that-vicinity than in most places) before a Magistrate, and re quested that they should he sworn in as special constables; -and they searched that. day almost all the houses in the neighbourhood. The result was, that the three men were apprehended and committed. Were the same feeling alive lit the bosoms of the people of Ireland, we. should not hear and read of so many massacres perpe trated with impunity in that most wretched conn tey.—(Salopian Journal.) An accident, attended, with very serious ctinse quences, took place early on Tuesday last. - Rougemont, of Clapton, accompanied by a son and two daughters, went to spend Christmas-eve with, Mr. Hobson, of Ih highland. They returned about two in the morning, when the coachman lost his command of the horses at Stamford-hill, and they ran furiously along the road : they proceeded a short distance, and coming in contact with a lamp-post, the carriage was thrown over and dash ed to pieces. We are sorry to say Mrs. R. was dreadfully cut by the broken glass, and has been confined to her room ever since. The son and young ladies fortunately escaped with slight bruises, hut the poor coachman was so much injured that he now lies in a very dangerous state. One of the horses was much cut over-the eye. Last night, about eight o'clock, a four-horse coach, the property of SHACKEL and Company, NV hich runs from London to Reading, stop ped at the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly, and whilst the coachman alighted, the horses took fright and set , off full speed, towards the Haymarket. In Coventry-street the common sewer is undergoing repair, and there is barely sufficient room for one coachto pass. Fortunate ly there were no other obstructions to their pro-. gress, and they passed this spot 'with great velo , city, turning the corner. of Coventry-street, up Princes-street, until they were finally stopped at Compton-street. An elderly gen tleman was the only outside passenger who had sufficient presence of mind to retain his statioti. Two female passengers were inside, who with the gentleman, fortunately sustained no other injury than from the alarm. Neither the coach nor horses received any damage, and they passed the whole distance without causing anraccident. CORN EXCHANGE, DEC : 28.
