COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL: Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall, in consequence of a requisition to consider a Report from. the Committee for Gaieral Purposes, respecting the Orphans' Fund ; and also to consider the Bill now pending in Parliament relative to the same. _ _ _ The Gaol Ecpences Committee presented a Report for raising a sum not exceeding 10,0001. for the present exigencies of the Chamber, which was agreed to, and the Committee was autho rized to take the necessary steps accordingly. The Lord Mayor then laid before the Court the requisition, which being read, as also the Report and opinion of Counsel, Mr. Alderman Waithman, in a long speech, introduced the business, and concluded by moving a series of Resolutions ; and for a Petition to be presented to Parliament against the Bill now pending for the future regulation of the Orphans' Fund, which, after considerable debate, was agreed to, and or. dered to be advertised. A Petition was accordingly prepared, anti ordered to be presented in the usual way. The Court then proceeded to the election of a Judge of the Sheriffs' Court, in the room of Baron Maseres, who recently resigned the same. Mr. Oldham nominated Wm. St. Julian Arabia, Esq. who was seconded by Mr. Hick, and there being no other candidate, he was unanimously elected, by show of hands, to that office ; and being introduced in due form to his seat at the table, he shortly addressed the Court, expressive of his thanks for the honour conferred upon him, and he at the same time tendered his resignation of the office of Common Pleader to the Court, the consideration of which was referred to a Committee. _ The Tithe Committee made a Report, recommending the Sub-Committee of the London Liberty of St. Andrew, Holborn, to be empowered to search the City's records relative to tithes ; and for the City Solicitor to be allowed to assist them, under the direction of the Committee, in furtherance of their efforts in opposing a demand of 2s. 9d. in the pound recently made :uiou them, which was agreed to and ordered. 0 159 ;of:: of ' lA u ~ ~Ea ire eer, Prd , ngs ,freV•cal sv'' E /7e FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1822. LITERARY NOTICE. Ma. GALT's NOVELS.—We had intended to express the pleasure which the novels written by this Gentleman have afforded as, bat we shall avail ourselves at present of an article on the subject addressed to the Editor of BLACKIrOOII 4 B Magazine for last month. It is stated to have been written by " an occasional Contributor." —The following is the article in which, how ever, we have deemed it necessary to omit some passages : " The Annals of the Parish' is niy greatest favourite.— There is nothing at all resembling it that I know of in our 11.. terature. Ido not in the least understand what those persons mean who have complimented Micah Balwhidder on his like ness to the Vicar of Wakefield. He has none. But they arc both clergymen, and both most excellent, worthy, primitive, simple men,—and that to indiscriminating minds is enough.--- I 'vas rather surprised to observe a remark of this kind in your own Magazine. It could not hive meout the pen of one of your choice spirits. I hate that habit of finding resemblances to which some people are addicted. They never see the real essential character of any body's face, figure, or mind, but only what is on the surface. Accordingly, if two men have each a shortish or a longish nose, they are thought to be extremely like—quite like brothers—although as unlike as your divine Maga is to the human Monthly. When applied to books, such criticism is pernicious. Authors of genius are defrauded of the praise due to their originality, and are called Plagiaries at the very time they have produced what is peculiarly their von.--• Micah Balwhidder is no monogamist, God knows, like the English vicar. Is his manse like the vicarage ? Has he sons and daughters in it, with long, happy, or tragical histories ? Is he subjected to many mutations of fortune ? and does he be come the inmate of a prison ?—But, in short, I need say no more to you, whose own good sense must see and despise the folly of all such criticism as I have alluded to. The Annals of the Parish' is altogether a little volume per se, (it may be called a Per se Anecdote.) and its beautiful, and at the same time most diverting and touching details of the life and charac ter of one dwelling retired in his simplicity,' will delight every true Scottish heart, as long as there remains in Scotland a de. vout remembrance of the spirit of times not yet, it is to be hop. ed, quite passed away—a spirit peculiar altogether to our native lan " ' The Ayrshire Legatees' is as clever as can be, but less orin: :al. I can imagine several people able to have written as good' or better things than it, excellent as it is ; but the i Annals' are altogether inimitable. Mr. and Mrs. Pringle are fine old bodies • but Miss is not much to my liking; and my 4 Son Andrew' is a dull dog. Indeed he is, I presume, meant to be so, as the beau ideal of a young Edinburgh Whig advocate ; and all that is very well.— But the , author sometimes forgets his satire, and seems to share in the general delusion, and to think Andrew an oracle. Now and then, however, the young Scotch Whig is most truly absurd, with his disquisitionary epistles, as if he were writing for the ' Supplement,' and adapting himself to Macvey. This Scotch formality is well kept up throughout all his epistles; and one feels how he must have been smiled at by the easy, elegant, careless, clever, young English barristers, from Oxferd and Cambridge. His idea of getting into Parlia ment—like another Tom Itennedy—is very diverting. There can be no doubt that had not his eanvass failed, (for his name is no where to be seen in the list), he would have assisted Sir James Mackintosh in his appropriate attempt to diminish the number of crimes. I said that Miss Rachel Pringle was not much to my liking. But what then ? She was a fine-made girl, much to the liking of Captain Sabre; and I hope she has had too much good sense to spoil it by nursing. But really, when I think on all the country characters, I feel that I almost wrong this little volume, in placing , it much behind the ' An nals. The author breathes freely_. his face brightens—and his whole nature is itself when in the country, and when that coun try is Scotland. He must have been a most happy boy, and very tricky in and out of school ; fond of bathing, and bird-nest ing; climbing trees with the callants, and " pu'ing gowans fine' with the lasses. Clearly and tenderly, and gladsomely, too, does he remember the 4 days o' auld Lang syne.' And as the ' boy is father of the man,' I have no doubt h , that though now the inhabitant of a great city, his heart still is among the scenes of other years,—and those happy and harmless beings whom his genius so beautifully and pathetically describes. " ' Sir Andrew 'Wylie's boyhood is just as good as any thing in the ' Annals,' or ' Ayrshire Legatees ;' but when he gets to London, he and his lot become somewhat incomprehensible._ He Rio sooner shews his face in company, high or low, but he ups with the first fiddle, and leads the band. Unlike the un successful simpleton, who did not know whether or not he could play, as he had never tried. Every one listens to him, consults him, and acts on hii advice. He mounts up by a flight of enchanted steps from chambermaid to countess—from my lass to my lady—from my gentleman's gentleman to Lord-- Earl—Duke—Prince—King: and there can be no doubt, that if he had been sent on an embassy to China, (it is not too late yet) he would have confounded the head of the Celestial empire, and been hand and glove with the sun and moon in a jitihy.— My Gore ! how I envy Sir Andrew Wylie, Baronet, of that Ilk, his appearance and success in all companies I—l who now write to you, my dear Sir, am a very decent-looking , young man, as you know, nothing particularly old, or dis gusting, that I know of in my person or manners, and not.an absolute ass like the Colonel ; but I produce no effect in so. ciety ; nobody is more than polite or civil to me; my advice was never asked but mice, and then not at all with a view of being taken, and, as for " high Lords and mighty Earls," they . turn up their noses and eye-brows at me, as if I were a Paria. Yet, somehow or another, this continual success of the odd little Baronet, is, during the perusal of his Memoir, not 1 , felt to be unnatural. A sort of glamour seems thrown over all whom he associates with, the influence of which extends to the reader himself; the " wee reekit de'il" is a fascinating imp, and owes great part of his power to the eery peculiarities that make him a marked and diverting man wherever he shews himself. I suspect there is great genuis shown in the concep tion of such a character, and considerable skill too in the exe cution ; although the author is completely run away with on occasions by this odd creature of his own fancy. " But what shall I say of the Provost ? It reads so easily and naturally, that I felt as if I were composing it as I went along. But unfortunately that was not thd case. It is not in the least like a printed book. I think I see Mr. Pawkieht own manuscript written in the same plain distinct business hand, with i's duly dotted, and is strongly crossed, that made his ledgers of such constant and easy reference. His whole cha racter lies in his very name, and, under the genial light of the author's most original genius, it expands gradually before us, till at last, in full blow and blaze, it shines forth in expanded prorostry, like the great, bread, and blowzy Peony Rose among the cabbages in the neat kail-yard behind his own Mansion-House. There is far more truth and nature, and moral philosophy, and metaphysics and politics, and political economy, in this little volume, than in all Dugald Stewart and the Scotsman. Provost Pawkie is not a perfect character, al. though a good, loyal Tory. He is so base and corrupted as to be occasionally influenced by motives of self-interest, more especially when they coincide with a regard to the public good. Long may our burroughs have such bathes and such provosts as the late esteemed Mr. Pawkie, say I ; and I hope that Lord A. Hamilton will read this instructive little volume be fore he again opens Isle mouth in Parliament. Once more, then-.many, many thanks, my dear Sir, for the Provost—it is short, cheap, and good ; and I em not in the least surprised at what you tell me, that you have sold an edition of two thousand in a fortnight, and that another equally large im pression is melting away " like anew aft a dyke." Mr. Galt is indeed fine fellow, and has shewn a vein that seems brighter, richer, and deeper, the farther he drives the shaft. I hope he will keep moving, for there is nothing so bad for the health of a popular writer as standing still, with hie hands behind his back, or counting his fingers." 7!, .:1:4;K°: ,4z,4: '''s.. , , .

A mail has this morning been received from France, by which conveyance intelligence has come to hand from Con stantinople, dated the 10th June. The news from this capital of the much respected ally of the Holy Alliance and of the British Ministry, are of a pacific character, in as far as the magnanimous Emperor of Russia is concerned. There was not at that period the most distant suspicion that any in. terference on the part of Russia would prevent the Sub lime Porte from inflicting the most signal vengeance oh his rebellious Christian subjects and eight to ten ships of war were expected soon to sail for Scio, to reinforce the fleet under the command of the CAPITAN PACILA. This addition to his power would, it was hoped, enable this worthy chieftair of banditti to inflict on the other Chris tian islands of the Archipelago, the same vindictive pu nishment which the ill-fated Scio had suffered from his hands. These letters also state a prevalent opinion, that the provinces would soon be deprived of the presence Of the Turkish troops. They also contain the news that 100 Christian women, the chosen of the inhabitants of Scio, had arrived there, to be placed in the Harem of this victorious barbarian, the Capitan Pacha. One hundred boys had also arrived to wait his future pleasure. At the latest dates the Turkish fleet remained in the waters of Scio, and the Christian fleet hovered around them like a pestilence. No battle had taken place- The supe rior farce of the Turkish ships, and'the superior seamanship of the Christians, equally forbade it. Constantinople was tranquil, and trade was "consequently improved. From Smyrna the letters are only down to the 2d of June—, There were no news in this city. The market for girls and boys was rather dull, in consequence of in having been latterly overstocked with these commodities from Scio. Christian ladies of the most cultivated minds, and of the best external appear. ance, could not be sold at from more than 4000 to 10,000 piastres, and the plundered ornaments and wealth of the birth-place of the immortal Homer, were equally unsaleable, in consequence of their abundance. Ye philanthropists of England —ye visit ors of prisoners and of the distressed—ye friends of Aftican savages, how long will you remain silent, when Christians and highly cultivated Greeks are reduced to prostitution and slavery ! From Odessa, the letters are dated on the 14th June. There were no news there, except in so far as the accounts falsify the news from Constantinople of the 10th June, for there had been no change in the situations of the Russian arid Turkish armies t and there was not th© least indication of the evacuation of the Principalities by the Barbarians. ,The exchange had agein become more unfavourable, having been done at 25.10 ; the previous quotation being '25. From Leghorn the letters are dated on the 26th June. They announce the sailing from Egypt. of 40 transports, loaded with all the implements of war for the Turkish anny in Candia. Amongst these ships there are five under the before-unpolluted flag of England, the Defender of the Faith, and two of them bear that of his Holy Apostolic Majesty. From Trieste the information has been received that the fugitives from Scio had not been permitted to receive the hospitality of Zante, a Gre cian island under the special protection of free England, but had bi compelled to pursue their voyage to less vindictive and more liberal coasts. From all these quarters, the determined bravery of the Greeks in the Morea is mentioned with the highest commendation.— Napoli de Romania surrendered to the Christians on the 30th of May. With that liberality which freedom of religious worship always inculcates, the Turkish garrison was permitted to em bark in European ships, and to carry with them one quarter of the property of the town. How hulike the conduct of the Turks wherever prosperity has carried. them. Deserted by Christian Europe, the present situation of the Greeks is certainly appalling to every well-wisher for the 'nappiness of tha descendants of the civilizers of the world. Their case is not, however desperate. 'They are engaged in the cause of liberty, and there is a charm which attends their name which will permit none to despair of their success. Constancy and devotion will hourly add to Gre cian liberty, and the cruelty and barbarity which the Turks have already inflicted on them, render the success of their cause more certain. The finish has been put to Colombian freedom, for it is cur rently reported and believed, that Porto Cabello,. the last re tiree of the oppressors, has surrendered to the Patriotic Army. rite Funds continue uncommonly dull. The Three per Cent. Consols are 79a f, and for the account on the 18th cur rent 80i 81, and scarcely a transaction has been done in them. The Old Fours are 97t and the New Fours 98 974. East India Bonds 66 34. Excepting in the favorite Stock of Prussia, very little business has been done in Foreign Securities. The New Loan came out yesterday at 84, but tee applications were so numer ous, that the Great Man could not comply wish all the demands made on him. Many Brokers, thinking a nod as good as a wink to a blind horse, acted on fent impressions, and sold as much as they could above 84, conceiving that the difference would form a profit to themselves. This day they have been disappointed. The Contractor has not any to spare; the price has advanced to 85i, and the gulls have been left to pay the differences. To render the advance more certain, the Contractor has brought up the small quantity of the Old Prussian Loan which was in the market, and its price advanced from 87,t to 99. The Brokers feeling hurt, have begun to reflect on Sait-water Invoices, and have resolved to be wise in future. Trade is uncommonly dull. A considerable failure in the Tallow line has been communicated from an outport.—(Morn. ing Chronicle.) SPANISH COMMERCIAL REGULATIONS. The Spanish Government has decreed that the following ports, St. Sebastian, Bilboa, Santander, Corunna, Cadiz, Malaga, Alicant, Barcelona, and St. Crui of Teneriffe, are henceforth to be the only ones where prohibited goods may be deposited, with the exception, however, of foreign cocoa, sugar, cochineal, indigo, coffee, corn, and fiour, which are declared inadmissible. The packages of the prohibited goods roust weigh at least four arrobes, and the vessels, either national or foreign, bringing the same, must be upwards of 100 tons burthen. The deposit-duty on those goods will be the same as that laid on unprohibited ones. Prohibited goods cannot, on any account, be allowed to remain longer than a twelvemonth in the place of deposit.-- They may be re-exported under any flag, provided the vessels employed for that purpose be at least 103 tons burthen, if fo reign, and CO if national. In addition to the depodit-duty, the prohibited goods re-exported in the former will pay a transit duty of I per cent., but if the goods be sent to the Spanish pro vinces beyond the seas, they must by all means go in national hot toms. And, lastly, prohibited goods on board any vessel less than 100 tons burthen,_ coming from a foreign port, and found within two leagues of the coast, are to be confiscated, and the Master fined in a sum equal to the value of the same; for the recovery of which fine, the lawful goods on board, b,:onging to the Master, as well *as the freight, will be liable ; and, if instil& cient, the vessel herself, although she should not be his property. With respect to vessels of more than 100 tons with prohibited goods for the Peninsula, the Custom House officers afloat must confine themselves to ascertain that they proceed straight to the port of their destination, there being no occasion for disarming those which are going from the ports of deposit to foreign min tries as the Masters must prove they have landed their cargoes at the places to which they are bound.

" Washington, May 6, 1322.—Approved." PRICE SEVENPENCE.. THE GREEKS. FOR THE SUN. • MR. EDITOR=I have lately read in several• newspapers, an intimation that the class of Chris tians called THE SOCIETY or Faterins,. or QUAKERS, are about to set forward a charitable subscription for the relief of the suffering Greeks of the isle of Scio. There is something in this timely succour of the wretched which calls to mind the parable of the good Samaritan. The rich, the brave, the powerful, seem to pass on one side, from these their Christiatt brethren, " trodden under foot of the infidels," robbed, outraged, and left for dead ; while those plain people of peace, who start from a sword, and re , coil at every species of violence, stop as it were on the bloody field, to bind up the wounded, to raise the bereaved widow from the body of her murdered husband, to rescue helpless infants of both sexes from circumstances of captivity worse than even •the crdellest deaths ! In this light, all who read and believe the horrible details from the Ottoman Empire, must regard the present con duct of THE FiLIENDS; the friends indeed of huma nity, the true disciples, in charity, of Christ. Some persons, however, turn from these representations with the observation," that they are Etxagge rated ;" or, that " we are too poor to interfere ; in short, that we have no business with a quarrel be tween the Turks and the Greeks ; and that the latter deserve the worst they can receive from the former, the cruelties they retort beink not a whit less than those so reprobated in their Maho medan masters !" May not these objectors meet some such an swers as these? That the representations of Turkish oppres sion; extortion, and wanton murders of men, women and children, perpetrated on the Greeks, are no exaggerations, daily, hourly information will prove, if carefully investigated. That we are too poor to interfere in a great scale, may be true ; but that it is no business of ours, or of any other nation, to put some stay in the way of a merciless extermination of another Christian people, all humane hearts must be prepared to deny ; and that the Greeks deserve all the cruel ties their Mussulman masters have wreaked upon them, because exasperated nature has been wrought upon to retaliate, every candid mind cannot but be as ready to confute. The first mover in aggressions hitherto has ever been deemed the most punishable; therefore, he whose attacks and savage outrages compel -the oppressed to stand on the defensive, and, by rousing resentment has stimulated human passions to revenge, is certainly the object to %horn in dignation should be first directed; as a man, in tenderness of blood shedding would rather shoot the wolf that warries the sheep, than the dogs, which rising up in protection of the fold, neces sarily hang on the ravening creature, goring its sides. That the oppressed may defend themselves without the horrors of retaliation, is certain ; such is the law of christianity ; and such, were the moderating spirit of a just and brave ally to step in to the assistance of the Greeks, would doubtless be the case now. But it being the infirmity of human passions for cruelty to pro duce its like, and particularly when the out raged party is rendered desperate by conscious comparative weakness, and a conviction that . no mercy dwells with its foe, the duty seems. more manifestly ours to check so dreadful a progress of crime and misery, by delaying no longer to put an effectual shield at least between our poor brethren in the East, and their extirpating ene mies. It has been said that national policy %rill not allow of such interference : but is it policy to shew an insolent Mahornedan Power that the greatest of the European Nations fear it ? And what else wilt be understood at the Porte, by our standing quietly by, witnessing unheard-of horrors wreaked on a ChriPian people, and we only preaching the justice we might compel ? Is it policy to teach the nations at large, that any thing is more estimable in the eyes of a great people than justice and humanity—than succouring the oppressed—than, in fact, paying a long-standing debt of grati tude ? Paying it to the enslaved and suffering posterity of the noble arid polished people to whom we owe our learning, our arts, and our sciences, and indeed almost all the refinements of the human Mind ; the classic country of inspirit ing examples ; of SOCRATES, and of LEONIDAS ; the sacred soil where PAUL preached, and whence Sr. JOHN dictated his prophecies! That mere negociation, to compass the protec tion of the Greeks, will always be to no purpose, is proved, by pledges to that effect having been given one moment to the Russian and British Delinisters at the Porte, while in the next such scenes are perpetrated as those which have so recently laid the Isle of Scio in blood. The only argument to be used with barbarians who know no law but their own will, is awe of punishment from a superior force; and hence the Tyrant of Constantinople must be made to see that a penalty may hang over his breach of word. — Were Russia to have au army on one ,side of his dominions, or Great Britain a fleet on the other, fear would constrain what Le has. neither huma nity nor honour to perform ; and Christendom be released from the future odium of having aban doned a brave and suffering people of its own faith to the swords, the chains, and the fires of an implacable and infidel enemy. - P.
