CITY, W EDNESDAY EVENING. The French mail, due yesterday morning, stilt remains out, and the Merchants complain of the circumstance, not without cause. They are perfectly aware that the forward ing of the French mail to England depends entirely on the French Government, and not on the Post Office in Lombard street ; and they are also aware that the French packets betwixt Calais and Dover are so badly paid by their Government, that they will not go to sea until they obtain a remunerating freight by passengers. Still they think that some arrangement Might be made by which their letters may be received as soon as any other information. The Turkish, Austrian, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and French correspondence, are de.. tained because the French packet-boats are not compelled to put to sea as soon as they receive the Post Office bags, and surely means may be adopted to remedy such inconveniences. In the mean time several private expresses have been received, by which the Paris Journalsof Monday, and written communi cations to the evening of that day have come to hand from the French capital. These advices contain very important news from, Greece. It appears that the Albanians had joined the cause of liberty, and that a considerable corps of Grecian troops had penetrated into the southern parts of Thessaly, where they attacked and entirely defeated the Turkish army commanded by CHOURSCHID PACHA, who, by the able conduct of tbe Grecian General BOZ.ZARIS, was afterwards forced to take refuge in Macedonia. Larissa consequently fell into the hands of the Christians. From Arta the news are equally favourable to the cause of humanity. Prince MAumicoßDATo had brought the Albanians in that district over,to his cause, and after having defcated the Pacha, had shut him up in that city, the speedy surrender of which was anticipated. ori the side of Persia the affairs of the Turks were equally unfortunate. Bagdad it self was closely invested, and Erzerum, the chief fortress in Armenia, ivas in the same situation. In short, the speedy dissolution of that empire, which for nearly five centuries has trampled on the inhabitants of the fairest portion of the earth, will be the result of the glorious actions of the Christian popu lation in the Levant, thereby proving themselves worthy of their descent from the once illustrious masters of the civilized world.

FEDERATIVE CONSTITUTION FOR ITALY.—Pro ject for its Regeneration ; founded on the respective interests and reciprocal advantages of the several Italian Sovereigns ; embracing the objects proposed by the Holy Alliance,_ and tending to make that country participte, not only in the re sults proceeding from such objects, but also in the benefits promised by the enlightened state of the age, &.c.—By Capt. FRANCIS ROMEO. Although from the deep interest of their pre sent internal movements, as well as the charac ter which the final issue of their struggles will give to their external influence upon the sur-: rounding- states, Spain and Greece now occupy the largest share of the attention, and excite the liveliest sympathies of Europe,—yet to the eye of the Statesman, ITALY offers an object of con templation, still more important, perhaps, than that presented by the Ictual condition of any other section of the European Continent. One thing is certain, that it is impossible to give per manency to the present arrangement of its States, and that it contains, therefore the germs of future convulsions, which may destroy the repose and the equilibrium of the civilized world. Every project for the regeneration of Italy, therefore, and for placing its political con stitution on a secure basis, is entitled to delibe rate examination. The well-known Captain Ito auo has offered a plan for the accomplishment of these important purposes, in the first place to the British Government. The following extracts will enable our Readers to comprehend the de sign, and some of the political reasonings' in which it has originated _ . . A PROJECT to conciliate the national unity of Italy with the existence of its several Sovereigns, arid thus to secure the in dependence of its people, the authority of its Legitimate Princes, and promote the noble objects which the Allied Sovereigns have proclaimed. Italy should haie a uniform Constitution in all its several States; which should be connected in a federative Government. A National Presidency should regulate the interests of the Con federation ; and each kingdom direct, by itself, the adminis tration of its own affairs. The Italian Constitution should be put in action s by three directing Powers, viz.—the leg,islative,—the executive,—and the judiciary. The first should discuss and decree the laws, but on proposals made by the second:—the second should exe cute them :—the third should decide when they are violated, and apply them to cases calling for a decision. A superior Power, representing the whole of Italy, to be called the Conservative Power, created as hereafter mentioned, shall guarantee to every one of the other three Powers their re spective rights,—exact their duties,— and rectify the aberrations, in case any one shall deviate from the sphere prescribed to it. Every Italian sovereignty acknowledged by the Confedera tion, is to be under the guarantee of the whole Italian nation, which is bound, in all cases, to watch for the safety of every individual State. The Government of Italy should have a general, and parti cular administration. That of each State should be diteected by a Constitutional King, a 'Representative Assembly, and a body of Magistrates. The General Administration should be en-. trusted to a Senate and a Primate, to be at the head of the Con.! federation, and preside over all the Italian Kingdoms. The Executive Powers, vested in the Constitutional Sove reigns, should be concentrated in the Primate, who will thus represent them all. The Legislative power, entrusted to the Representative Assembly in each seperate State, for what con cerns that State, is in like manner to he vested in the Senate, as far as regards the regulations and the interests of the Con federation. The Judiciary power, belonging to the Magistrates in the individual States, under the name of the Conservative Power, when the Confederation-is concerned, should be vested solely in the Senate. PARTICULAR AND GENERAL ADVANTAGES PROMISED BY THE SYSTEM HERE PROPOSED. Let us examine if this system .would he suitable to, those Monarchs who should consent to it,—lf it would be agreeable to their Ministers,--If the Nobles' .of Italy could esteem them selves humiliated, or the Liberals not satisfied,—And if the Allied PoWers, Powers protendinct to dominion in Italy, or neighbouring States, could regard it as' injuring them, or as' contrary to their just designs." The Sovereigns of Italy cannot deny that their dominions, contagious to Spain, Greece, and France, are inhabited by an enlightened and enterprising people attached to the constitu tional system, and acting in combinations very little known, — that the voice of the age every where calls for Constitutions,—, that Alexander has granted one to Poland, and the Kings of Bavaria and Wirtemberg rival each other in giv ing to, their subjects ;—that Louis the XVIIIth has be stowed one on France ; and Great Britain introduced one into Sicily ;—that the people, to whom constitutions have been con ceded, are tranquil, while those to .whom they are refused re volt ;---and that what is here proposed, - is at present actually possessed by England ; .and, moreover, the very same which the Allied Sovereigns had no difficulty, a short time before, in offering to 'ltaly. Whoever believes-it disadvantageous, should observe the pre sent and preceding condition of those nations in whicli constitu tions are eMablished,—What they were before obtaining them, and how they became what they are. Whoever thinks that 'the Italian Princes would- sacrifice their power by conforming to this - system, may reflect on the means employed by the King of Great Britain in past emergencies, and on the sacrifices made by -his people to secure his throne. Where is the nation which would do as much to support a - despo . t?—and where are the Des pots who could have compelled their vassals to similar exer tions ? If the Sovereigns of Italy believe themselves degraded by granting such Constitutions, let them tell us what is their power at present ;—let them distinguish from how many falla cious undertakings a Constitutional Government protects its Prince; from how many obligations it exempts him, and in what manner it promotes his objects : they may easily pe . rceive, from all these circumstances, if it would be humiliating for them to adopt such a Government, or to assimilate their System to that of Great Britain. If all this is not enough, it may still be remarked, that by the plan proposed, Kings who possess but a precarious and very circumscribed authority become efficient Sovereigns, and Sovereigns of the whole of Italy. Ought such results not to please than ? Their Ministers May, at the same time, remark that, by this system, they are to be responsible for the administration of the State ; and that, consequently, they aredestined to support the whole weight of the executive power, and enjoy all its advan tages. Instead, therefore, of this System filling them with dis ' may, it should elevate their courage, and be flattering to their talents. By this system will not they become the actual rulers of the country ? Ought they to complain of thus acquiring such an exalted influence? In thqproposed administration, however, they have men, not brutes, to govern ; and the Ministers who preside over the former ought to have superior qualities. But what then ? Great talents abound in Italy, and let those not undertake the office of governing who are not equal to its duties. The Constitution proposed gives to the Nobles a personal representation in the Senatorial Assembly : from private indi viduals,' therefore, they will become the hereditary Legislators of their country. Can such an honour disgust them ? - The Liberals of Italy demanded a Constitutional Monarchy, and.not.a. Republic. They, inhabit a country in which the feu dal rights and titles of the Nobility cannot, in one moment, be ettirpated ; and in the past changes, either fortune or prudence seemed always to fail them. What .better system, therefore, than this, can they now promise themselves ? But' the Government here proposed will not perhaps Observa tions ficient to guarantee that practical liberty in a Monarchy which intelligent and social beings may require. Lord John Russell, however, an enlightened Nobleman, in his Work-__4 on the English Constitution," —has proved that such a System is the best calculated to obtain this object. The situa of England confirms it,—the observations I made in the— " Sfieccitio del - bisingaimo,"_appear. convincing on this sub ject ; and, if individual experience could add any weight to the argument, it should now be clearly demonstrated; (To be continued.) GLASGOW. ELECTIONof LORD RECTOR in the UNIVERSITY of GLASGOW. [From " The Glasgow Journal."] Never upon any ocakion was greater anxiety in an election of a Lord Rectory for this University displayed than the present. Each Student seemed to vie with each other who would gain the most votes for his favourite candidate. Though the exer tions used by each of the different parties had been to gain them the first honours in the State, more could not have been done by them to have obtained these than was done to carry the candidate of their side. Each held up in the most fa vourable light his favourite candidate, and circulated bills exhibiting their different attainments. After the Students and Professors were assembled in the morning, in the Common-hall, the greatest anxiety Seemed to prevail, and the greatest emulation to exist among the supporters of both candidates, each maintaining that they would carry the day, and at intervals the walls of the Hall resounded with the names of Scott and Mackintosh ; but even at this time it was seen Sir James Mackintosh would carry the election. So soon as the students had been divided into their different nations, their anxiety to know the determination of the poll seemed,. if pos sible, to increase. After the nations were enclosed in their different classes, and after the election had begun, the sup porters of Sir James Mackintosh at once saw hpw ie election would go, and with their thundering voices seemed determin ed to communicate with the other nations in the other rooms how matters were going on. The poll drew to a close, Sir James Mackintosh, by outstripping , majorities, carried every nation. In the Glottiani he had ninety-four of a majority, in the . Loudani sixty . in his favour to eighteen against him, and in all the other nations equal majorities. After the election was over, each nation named a reporter to communicate to the Lord Rector, who was selected to be Rector in the nation to which he belonged, and the reporter of the nation to which the new-elected Rector belonged proceeded to the Common-hall, and to the students there assembled, announced in Latin who had been elected new Lord Rector. On the announcement of Sir James Mackintosh having been elected, tb give any ade quate idea of the shouts which resounded from wall to wall is impossible. The announcement of the election was in the fol lowing terms : " In Comittis Universitatis Glasguensis Decimo Quinto Novembris—Anno Millesimo Octingentesimo Vigesimo Secundo Quod felix faustumque sit Vir admodum Honorabilis JACOBUS _MACKINTOSH, Eques Horatus Electus est Rector Magnificus hujus Universitatia in annum sequentem Plaudiie." Mr. JEFFREY then addressed the Students as follows :—" I may now say I have nothing more to do in an official capacity in this University, as you have this - day chosen a Lord Rector to: fill the situation, which,through your kindness, I have so long filled, but I feel I cannot retire from this honourable office without addressing to you a few words upon the character of the two Gentlemen who have been competitors upon this occa sion for that high office. No sooner did I hear that Sir Walter Scott and Sir James Mackintosh were set up as candidates for this situation, than I felt quite at rest ; and not over anxious which of them would be the successful competitor, as they are both men of the greatest eminence, and men who are fully entitled to the high honour of being Rector of your University; I think it my duty to state to you in a few words the grounds upon which I have gone in giving my vote for Sir James Mackintosh, in preference to Sir Walter Scott, lest there should be any -misconception as to my conduct in this particular in any quarter, not that I care though there should, but I think it my duty, as with both these Gentlemen I have the honour of being on terms of friendship. Sir Walter Scott, though he has been the unsuccessful candidate on this occasion, still he must, from the great combination of talent which a kind Pro vidence has graciously endowed him with, command your esteem and respect. He is in a wonderful degree possessed of tdents to a very rare kind, and these talents have not been, allowed to lie dormant, having been employed for many years in affording amusement and instruction to the whole of this nation. Sir Walter Scott is a man possessed of a most fruitful ima gination—a man of most extraordinary genius,—a man who is master of almost every subject ; and looks into human cha racter, and paints what he there discovers in colours the most beautiful, and in language the ntiist sublime : In short, he/is a man who combines in himself so many rare qua lities, and so much erudition, that lie has raised himself to a pinnacle of glory unequalled in this, or, I may say, in any other age. Sir James Mackintosh, on, the other hand, is a man possessed of talents, though of a very different kind from those of his competitor ; but at the same time, talents very seldom to be met with. In Parliament, and out of Parliament, he has all along maintained an unsullied charac ter, and with horantrs innumerable has he been loaded, and from all parties met with the most profound respeCt. The honour you have this day conferred upon him will, of all others, I am sure, be esteemed by him the greatest. The choice you have made reflects upon you the greatest honour, and you will never need to regret having elected Sir James Mackintosh as Lord Rector, of your University. Your Rector ought to be a man whom you ought to hold up as a model, in carrying on your studies, and in Sir J. Mackintosh, I think you will find much you ought to imitate and follow after. The profundity of his attainments as a philosopher are univer ' sally allowed ; while, on the other hand, his display of scientific knowledge strikes at once every one with wonder and astonish ment. To attain to possess those eminent qualities might to be your study ;. and as in your new Rector .-You will find much to imitate, with all your might do it. It is on these grounds I think Sir James Mackintosh more deserving of academical honours than his competitor, though I mean by no means to say that these ought not to be conferred on him also. I must now take leave of you with an affectionate farewell." Mr. Jeffrey, Professor Muirhead, and Professor Sandford voted for Sir James Mackintosh. Professor Millar was una ' voidably absent. MELANCHOLY CASE OF SUICIDE. Last night an Inquest was held before Mr. SHELTON, Coroner, and a most respectable Jury, at No. 4, Portland -terrace, New. Kent-road, on the body of Mr. Antonio Michael Dufaur, Checker of the Duties of Excise, who put a period to his existence by inflicting a wound on the lower part of his body. It appeared in evidence that the deceased had for a long time laboured under a state of mental derangement, and had pre viously Made an attempt upon his own life, by taking a boat above Vauxhall-bridge, going .out in the river, and plunging himself into the water, but was fortunately rescued by a water man, who took him out, and conducted him home;, he had also been detected with razors in his possession frequently, the in strument with which he performed this unfortunate act. On Saturday week last Mrs. Dufaur was very ill, and requested de ceased to shave in the same room with her, to which he ob jected, and retired to another room, where he inflict ed a wound in the lower part of his body. Medi cal assistance 'was immediately obtained; the wound was sewed up, and hopes were entertained of his recovery ; the wound was followed by slight mortificatio but nothing to oc casion death. The deceased was of a very weak constitution, and lingered for 11 days after the commission of the act : he expired on Monday last, 53 years of age, 35 of which he had been in his situation, in the receipt of 600/. per annum, and 2s. &l. for every bond he filled up, and he would sometimes have from 20 to 80 a day. The fees are about to be abolished, which preyed much on the deceased's mind ; and the evidence of the surgeons went to show that he had laboured under an unsound state of mind for four months past, during which time his actions and personal appearance strongly indicated de. rangement. 'The ConoxErt addressed the Jury, saying, such cases as this seldom came before him ; he had heard of persons jump ing out of first and second-floor windows, when in 'a state of de rangement, but the present case was really horrible to think of—the whole of the evidence went strongly to prove insanity. The Jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased . died from a wound inflicted by himself when in a state of mental de rangement." SIR HARCOURT LEES. TO lIIS MAJESTY'S CROWN LAWYERS FOR THIS, PART OF THE UNITED EMPIRE. Black-rock, Nov. 8, 1822. GENTLEMEN—As I perceive an evident intention on the . part of the revolutionary Press, throughout the entire of Ire land, to delude the Public, and particularly the Imperial Par liament, respecting the true nature and eventual object of the present artfully planned and most mysterious conspiracy—l wish through the medium of one of the molt Constitutional and efficient Journals in the empire, to suggest to you, Gentle men, the vital and important necessity there exists for putting the following queries to the first state prisoner who may be ar raigned for either administering or subscribing to an oath de. rogatory to his allegiance as a British subject, or confirmatory of his devotion and attachment to a foreign and religiously hostile potentate. Queries to be proposed :--- Have you any knowledge, Sir, of a hired Popish emissary having been employed, throughout any part of the past year, 1821, to assassinate Sir Harcourt Lees, Bart ? Have you ever heard that this accredited assassin concealed himself, for two successive mornings, in a subterranean grotto, in a secluded part of that gentleman's ground, contiguous to the sea shore, and that on the third morning, he succeeded in surprising Sir' Harcourt in his bath-room, being partly masked, and armed with pistols and a stiletto ? Did you ever hear, that instead of executing the base and cowardly purpose for which, most for tunately, HE had been selected, but had repented of, he then and there, voluntarily, and without- any actual stipulation but ONE, made such discoVeries to that zealous and undaunted supporter of his Royal illaster,and foe to the Church of Rome, as enabled him, most probably, to preserve the life of his venerated Sovereign, and to protect the persons of the Pro testants, and of several of the Roman Catholics most dis tinguished for their loyalty and attachment to the State, from the sanguinary daggers of the more bigoted and intolerant Papists ? Did you ever hear that this man, or any other man answering his description, was murdered, on the ground of his being a traitor to the Knights of St. Patrick :1 Are you aware, Sir, that in consequence of the information given by Sir liar. court Lees at that period to a Royal Duke in England, and the timely disclosures he subsequently and publicly made, at the hourly risk of his life, that the joint and then meditated at. , tempts of the conspirators either entirely failed, or have only been deferred in the expectation of a more opportune season presenting itself ? I now, Sir, ask you, in the face of the Court, and in the awful presence of your GOD, whether you believe that any Profes sional Gentleman in the city of Dublin—or a moderate, reason able Infidel Scribbler, from the Northern part of Ireland, not connected immediately with the Public Press —were privy to the arrival in this country, during the month of November, last year, of TWO FOREIGN JESUITS ? Do you know, Sir, or did you ever hear, that one of these men (they did not arrive at the same time) landed at llowth—and, having stopped a short time in Dublin, proceeded to the Jesuit College, so unprovi. dently permitted to exist in the very heart of one of the most Popish districts in Ireland ; and that he was then and there engaged to instruct these orthodox Hibernian Students in the Art of PAlNTlNG—although he could neither speak nor un derstand one single word of English, or even Irish, to as sist him in the course of his loyal lectures ? Did you ever hear it mentioned, that this man, whose name (I think) was " Ossani," was constantly in the habit of paying visits —once, and occasionally twice, a week—notwithstanding his profes sional occupations at Clongowes College, to the Jesuit esta blishinent in Hardwick-street, Dublin ; and that the reason assigned was, that lie might take some likenesses in this city ? Did you ever hear, Sir, that this Roman Artist was the bearer of confidential dispatches between the said College of Clon gowes, in connexion with the great Jesuit Establishment a Stoneyhurst, in Lancashire, and that minor depot of constitu. timid integrity in Hardwick-street ?Do you know —or, from what you may have collected from the conversation of others, do you believe--that this Ossani ever had a confidential commu nication with a Roman Catholic Gentleman, of great talent and popularity in this country ; or, at least, was present during an interview between the said popular Gentleman, and a Jesuit of weight and consequence ? Did you hear, Sir, that a confidential agent to the Southern Insurgents, subsequent to that interview, died suddenly, upon his journey back to Dublin ! Have you any reason, Sir, to believe, that a foul and hellish plot has been contemplated, and ere this has possibly been per fected, calculated to strike horror into the entire of Europe ? and can you disclose whether the explosion is intended to, or has already taken place, in London, Paris, or Verona ? Do you believe, Sir, that Sir Harcourt Lees was correct in the judg ment he formed, so long back as three years since, of the exis tence, nature, and object, of the present Irish BRANCH conspiracy being exclusively Popish and murderous? Do you believe, Sir, THAT FEARLESS PROTESTANT ADVOCATE was right in the opinion which he at that time declared, and almost weekly since promulgated, that a certain secret Society was in exis tence, constituted by the Principals of the Jesuits (who had been established here for the sole purpose) ; and the great body of the Popish Prelacy and Priesthood composed the silent, but efficient abettors of this, the most diabolical, and most artfully contrived, of all the Popish plots ever yet brought to light ? As a Roman Catholic, do you believe it to be impossible for any conspiracy, against the State, to exist one month in this country, without the connivance of the Priesthood ? and are you not conscious that, until Sir Harcourt, with unparalleled intrepidity, boldly accused the Reverend and loyal Gentlemen of being privy to the plot, not one individual of them even made an effort to avert the ferocious and murderous designs of their religious, flocks—but, on the contrary, sanctioned the cir culation, and even patronised, the most blasphemous and sanguinary Prophecies, all encouraging the murder of Pro testants and the overthrow of the Government? fly virtue of your oath, do you not believe, that the advocates for extending farther political and civil power to Romanists, are as Sir Har court Lees styles them) the greatest set of scoundrels, or fools, that the world ever produced ? Gentlemen, as I believe I may justly claim the honour of being the only man in the empire, who had the talent and pene tration to discover, and first expose, the entire mystification of this very strong proof of Popish conciliation—which, you know, I told you the, nature and consequence of sixteen months ago, when Dan and Abraham were kissing, crossing, and blubbering over one another—l now desire you all to take care—that the empire shall be no longer deluded, respecting the true nature of this exclusively Popish plot, extending through the medium of sworn Inquisitors ' first—and then, of National, Provincial, County, and Baronial Assemblies, over the whole of Ireland, which at this hour is completely orga nised, and ready to rise en mane when ordered ; for 1 am de termined, Gentlemen, .(conscious that I possess firmness and abilities, at least not inferior to' the same qualifications pos sessed I:) , any man now living in the empire), to save my country, or perish in, its ruins.
