The King has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal, for granting the dignities of a Marquess and Dtike of the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland to Richard Marquis of Buckingham Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, by the names, stiles, and titles of Mar quess of Chandos and Duke of Buckingham and Chandos. T he Parish of Whitwick, although consisting of three pop e• W to ns Hamlets or Townships; viz. Whitwick,Thringstone, and s°°anpington, t i 7 4 nrsington, has at present but ONE Church. Of these the waship of WhitWiek alone, tresvhich the Chnech-is situate. 14 ' population if 1004: for which.the Parish Church ha- Itit Seient, but, it is conceived, not more than sufficient rooms T he ToWnship of Thringstone contains 1181 periOns, and that of B wannidgton 541: and out of this joint population, it is es ` ,I ntated that not less than 1200 lire at the distance of a mile 414 a half, and from 400 to SOO between two and three snles, f ront the Parish 111146. • . 4 r -o rem e dy this deficiency in Church room, as well. as to af_ fo rd increased facility of access to the National Church for t he Parishioners who are at - present. most distant from it, it is Proposed .to erect a Chapel on a site to be hereafter oh tattled, which shall be so far central to the . Townships of T hringston e and Swannington, as not to he more than a tbi l, or at farthest a mile and a quarter from any closely in l'abited pert of either of these Hamlets. The expense of the . undertaking cannot he precisely estimated, as the extent to W hich it is carried will depend on the natureand degree of the support received ; hat supposing the building to be ex tended to the utmost limit proposed, viz. to be capable of ' eontai e i ng from 350 to 400 persons, it is computed that a 'um from Eight Hundred to One Thousand Pounds would he s ufficient; and should the building be contracted, the expense 'would fall short of the lowest of these sums. Tortlet this sum required, it is feared' that no very consi. li'rable support can he anticipated from two Townships: both being eery poor and indigent. Thringstone burdened with 4 Population of Frame-work• Knitters. Swannington also ins- Pov eriehed by heavy demands from Collier s,who have formerly eblziined Settlements there. The remaining sources from : ' Te net:support is looked fur are, Ist, from Voluntary Dona -1)4"; 2dly, from application to the• Society for promoting the 41151 10 g of Churches and Chapels. It is to advance the for- Art " . 0 f these two triodes of support, that the present state rnent is r espect f u ll y su b m it te d t o .the public. And when the f °4 going facts are generally considervd e -when, in particular, t 4 Suggested to the affluent members of the Church of Eng land throughout the County of Leicester, that .no prospect of ,411ticrilar ( and certainly none of a more urgent) appeal to ( s eir .

THE DESTRUCTION OF SEATON DELAVAL BY FIRE.—We stated in our last, that on the 34 inst. this noble mansion, the seat of Sir Jacob Astley, Bart, Northumberland, was totally consumed. The following are further particulars, from an authentic source. The accident was occasioned by a beam in one of the bed room chimnies taking fire, which quickly communicating to the roof, burst out with sea fury as to prevent the possibility of human exertions being of any avail, and in the space of one hour it was found all attempts to save the main body of the house would prOVe fruit less, owing to the immense quantity of hot lead pouring down from the roof; but fortunately the steward had sufficient.presence of mind to order the corridor, which united the wings to the body of the house, to be instantly detached, by which means the two former were saved. We are sorry to add, that not one of the beautiful and valuable marble chimney-peces and statues, executed by Italian masters, was saved from the devouring ele ment. Thousands of people assembled to witness the awful catastrophe. This magnificent structure was the design of Sir John Vanburgh. We lament to state, that what makes the loss still, more considerable is, that it was not insured.—This noble and princely mansion stood on the site of Delaval Castle, the ancient baronial residence of the family, which has been in their possession since the Conquest. We have great pleasure in stating that no lives were lost, and, owing to the great exer tions of the servants, all the family papers were saved.— Fortunately Sir Jacob and Lady Astley were at theirseat, Mel ton Constable, Norfolk. Ma. Eorrort,—ln pursuing the view I intend to take of the State of Affairs in Europe, such as they appear to me at the beginning of the pre sent year, it is natural that I should turn first of all to the situation in which this country is now placed, both in respect to its internal concerns, and to its foreign connections. The. latter I imagine, for the present, to be comparatively un important, though far from satisfactory, and per haps pregnant with future mischief. Whatever surmises may be made as to the line of conduct which the Cabinets of Vienna and of St. Peters burgh will adopt, in respect to the Greeks, our opinions upon this head- must still rest solely upon conjecture. It is impossible to entertain for an instant the idea that either Austria or IFusaia. will everztr44 remain past s t y of the important events %Itch are now distra ing the Ottoman Empire, and still less, that if they lend any assistance to the Greeks, they will be actuated by motives wholly disinterested. This being the case, a partition of the Turkish dominions is not only a possible, but a most-pro bible event, and one which may eventually prove destructive of the peace and tranquillity of Eu r Ope. It seemed one• of the main objects of the several Congresses which followed the destruc tion of the colossal power usurped by BUONA PARTE, to adopt the measures best calculated to secure the enviable blessings of a durable peace. For the purpose of attaining so desirable an end, it was determined to restore, as much as circum stances would admit, - that balance of power which the wars of the Revolution and the un exampled successes of the French armies had effectually overturned. How far this important object has been accomplished, it is not perhaps, as yet, easy to determine ; but it is reasonable to suppose that any change may, and most pro. bably will, endanger the existence of the whole fabric. Any accession of territory on the part of one or more of the Powers, will necessitate a new arrangement and another partition of Eu rope.- This very measure, though one of neces sity, may in itself present many difficulties in regard to its accomplishment. In the present irritation of the public mind, which universally prevails, it may fairly be doubted bow far the people themselves will tamely submit to be trans ferred like a herd of cattle, or like the sop of fetidal times, from one master to another. Such transfers, on the other hand, even when made with the entire approbation of the people, in crease the territorial possessions of a Sovereign, it is true, but they are far from adding any very effectual strength to his political power. States are by such means formed of such heterogeneous materials, the manners, habits, religion, &c. of the people thus brought under one sway are so very discordant, that the whole fabric must be necessarily deficient in solidity ; its various parts are, indeed, so little cemented, that its existence is unavoidably precarious. In the event of a partition of Turkey, what compensation would England obtain, as an equi valent for the increase of maritime power, which would then accrue to Austria, but more especially to Russia ?- Many years will no doubt elapse, ere the navy of the former of the above-men tioned Powers can become a cause of alarm to Great. Britain ; but this is not the case in regard to Russia. The comprehensive mind of Peter the Great soon perceived the importance of cre ating a Russian navy. Hence do we see him di- rect his every effort to secure a port on the sea of Azor, and resolutely persevere in becoming master of the shores of the Gulph of Finland.— His successors, imbued with similar principles, have pursued the same policy, and neither•labour nor expellees have been spared to place the Rus sian navy upon a most respectable footing. Such being the policy of Russia, can Great Britain witness, without some feelings of alarm, the ac cession of maritime importance which this Em pire would derive from the extension of its ter ritories along the shores of the Eu xine Sea 1— And, on the other hand, how will Russia act, in the event of England's stepping forth to op pose her ambitious career ? That she is not very well disposed towards this Country, is made evi dent by the impediments she does not cease to place is the way of any con►►nercial intercourse. The truth of the matter appears to be this—that the immense power and the inexhaustible re ' sources displayed by England in the late long and severe contest with France, have served only to awaken the jealousy of the Continental Powers, few of which would not gladly embrace the first opportunity of humbling, or weakening, so for midable a rival. This disposition of our good Allies leads its naturally enough to throw a glance upon the commercial concerns of the country. That they have suffered considerably since the termination of the war, admits of no contradiction : that they will never be what they were at that period, is perhaps no less certain, whilst it appears doub . - ful whether they will ever materially hnpro%e. Nearly excluded from the continental markets, by his inability to compete with the low prices at which goods may be manufactured abroad, the British merchant has scarcely any other vent for his merchandise than die borne, market and the Colonies. The formes, owing to the exist ing distresses, is so far. from beneficial to him, that goods are now every where offered up for sale at a price for which 'they were never manufactured : and the latter not only affords him . no greater profit, but cannot, alone, prove of any considerable advantage. At a time when England monopolized the sale of Colonial productions, the trade was highly advanta4,reous, because they were sold at very high prices upon the Continent; but now', when. many of the Continental nations have Colonies • of their own, or , can procure such produce from the Americans at a price comparatively mode rate, the sale of the British merchant is in a great • measure limited to the home market, the activity which is considerably lessened by the dis tresses of the times. However desirable, on the score of humanity, the abolition 'of the Slave Trade may have been, it has undoubtedly greatly injured the West India trade. It .will always be difficult to prevent foreign Powers from carry ing on, in some manner or other, this iralatt 7 man traffic; and however interested England, may be to enforce the observance of exiStin& treaties, she might still feel reluctant to make- '• their secret violation a plea for a declaration of war. Foreign Colonies will, therefore, most probably be always supplied with a certain por- Jlientif negro slaves, and will thus he enabled to ivork al a - much lower-prigeetilon planter. And the difficulties of the latter will become greater in process of time, because as the number of Slaves now in the English Colonies. • decreases, the price of labour will proportion-- •ally increase. The prices. of . Colonial produce • must be therefore raised also in proportion, and as many of them are rather articles of luxury than of absolute necessity, it is not impossible that the consumption should be gradually diminished,_to the no trifling• injury of the revenue. In the distressing situation in which we are now placed, we can therefore derive no great consolation either from the state of markets abroad, nor from the condition of manufactures at home. With a... 1 revenue which will probably not increase, and, : .. an expenditure which cannot, perhaps, well be diminished, it is scarcely possible to lessen. in.. any. degree the financial embarrassments of the country. What methods the Ministry will pro pose to alleviate public distress it is difficult to foresee, but that something must be done, appears - sufficiently obvious. , • _ It is not, however, the commercial' interest of the cquntry that has the greatest .claim upon the attention of Ministers ; the present condition. to . which the Agriculturist' is reduced, a condition which threatens to turn a large portion of once fertile and highly 'cultivated lands into barzen wastes, demands also their most serious attention. Oppressed by the weight of taxes, crushed by the heavy burthen of Poor's-rates, and almost deprived of the means of subsistence by the low prices at which he is compelled to part with the fruits of his labour,' the farmer now finds himself unable to cultivate his lands, and abandons. an occupation which was once a source of weaitit - and of enjoyment, but which now .can lead him• only to destruction. Thus reduced in his Cir. curnstances, scarcely able to pay his landlord, and to procure the common necessaries of life, 11,• is obliged to reduce his expences, and this re duction, in a country where - every article is either subject to a tax, or to a duty, cannot tend to prove the Revenue. If we now turn to the internal state of tltt country, the prospect is scarcely more cheering- There prevails an universal spirit of dissatishic tion which threatens the tranquillity of the State. The advocates of reform, tho Ugh divided into several distinct classes, are numerous and loud in: their reprobation of the existing system . of Go, vernment. The just demands of the one,'-the dangerous sophistry of the other, and the perni dons doctrines of a large portion, - pciwerfoll . y. agitate the people;- and the disturbed situation of. the public mind apparently forebodes 'a storm, which the vessel of the State may find it difficult to weather. At scarcely any previous perioddid the' Legislators of the British empire meet to dis • charge more important duties than those which will fall to the lot of the Members of the present HouSe:. During the recess, the greater number of them will have had both time and opportunity to be come thoroughly acquainted. with the real Situa tion of the country, and With:the disposition of the.public mind : let us hope, therefore, that they will have seriously considered these imporant matters, and that they will come fully prepared to do their utmost, if not to remove, at least to lessen, the difficulties under which the country now. labours. Ireland will particularly claim their attention. It must be hoped that some effectual measures will be adopted to put an end to -the sanguinary outrages that disgrace that unhappy country. Much has indeed been done by .the appointment of Marqueis WELLESLEY to the Lord Lieutenancy of that kingdorri ; but we must look up to the British Parliament for an ef fectual remedy. The approaching Session Will be, no doubt, stormy ; but let us hope that it will prove also memorable in the British annals, by the wisdom and policy of the resolutions which will emanate from an assembly of enlight ened and truly. patriotic Statestnea. Paddington. A.l". On Monday last, GEORGE BAKER, Esq. of Elemore Hall, made a liberal return to his tenan try on the payment of their half-year's rents. A waarrel occurred in the pit at Ouston Col liery, on the 29th ult. between Wm. Snooks, aged 22, and Robert Pigg, aged 16, which led to the death of the former, and the committal of the latter to prison, on a charge of manslaughter. Snooks• having beaten Pigg for some neglect of duty, the' latter threw a stone at him, which striking him on the back part of the head, frac tured the skull, and occasioned his death on •the 2d inst. An inquest was held on Thursday and Friday last, before Michael Hall, Esq. Coroner, and a respectable Jury, -Allen a verdict of Mau slaughtcr was returned, and. Pigg committed, on the Coroner's Warrant,_ to take,.his trial for the offence at the.next Assizes, for Porbarrt. • 9. 2 5 5 5 5 10 0 2 0
