'r II E LONDON JQURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS,. October' 9, 1822. [MORNING POST.] At a'late hour last night we received by Ex press French Papers to the 7th inst. They are totally silent respecting.the affairs of Greece; and the Austrian Observer, instead of repeating its confident assertions that the contest in the Morea was at an end, or continuing to carp at the ac counts of Grecian victories now generally believed, bad fotind it convenient, down to the 26th ult. to discard the subject altogether. The Quotidienne 'asserts, on the authority of a private letter of the !27th ult. from Vienna, that the Congress was to open its sittings at Verona on the 18th inst. and to close them on the 25th of November, and that 'the Emperor Alexander -would be back in his capital on the 25th - of Dec. It adds, that Mr. Gordon, the British Resident at Vienna, had been sent to meet the Duke of Wellington at Munich, And'to request his Grace to change the director of his course, and to repair at once to Verona, as the Allied Sovereigns would depart for that city on the Ist of October. Lord Strartgford had reached the Austrian capital from Constantinople on the morning of the 27th ult. and had brought strong assurances that the affairs of the East (Turkey and Greece) were on the eve of com plete pacification. What his Lordship under stands by pacification is not explained ; but if he means the peace that follows Turkish conquest, it w ill be similar to that with which the Romans stand charged by one of their own historians," Übi soli tudinem faciunt, pacem appellant,"—it will be that of desolation and the grave, After communi cating these particulars, which are new and not devoid of interest, the writer indulges in bne of those Ultra anticipations, which it is the invari able policy of that party to give, not as the ex pression of a wish, but as the statement of a fact. He says, 64 The situation of Spain seems parti cularly to attract the attention of the Sovereigns. An unanimous accord exists on that point be tween all the Cabinets; but it is at Verona only that the measures which will restore order and tranquillity in that country are to be adopted." We trust that a few weeks will shew, that an " accord," the effect and object of which would be, not to restore order, but to encourage insur rection and civil war,—not to revive tranquillity, but to re-enthrone superstition and despotism, has really no existence. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] It is currently reported that Lord Melville has been actually appointed Governor-General of India, while, on the other hand, it is also al leged that Lady Melville expresses much reluct ance to proceed to the East, and,that the Court of Directors wait her Ladyship's final decision before they publicly announce their choice. It is, however, understood that Lord Melville's ap pointment would be very acceptable to the pre vailing interest in India affairs. It is, we presume, in the recollection of fife public, that the 4 1ast time the subject or West Indian Piracies was brought before the House of Commons, previous- -to the Prorogation, the late Marquis of Londonderry stated, that negociations were pending with Spain, with a view to the adoption of such means as might effectually put down the atrocious ma rauders who have been so disgracefully allowed to ravage our-shipping in the West Indies, and particularly in the neighbourhood of Cuba, We MOW understand that the negociations have been attended with the wished-for success, so much so, indeed, that the Spanish Constitutional Govern ment has permitted us to take such steps in any part of the territdry or possessions over which it still claims sovereignty, as may be necessary for the protection of our commerce, This circum stance, it is said, will serve to explain the follow ing article which we published i❑ our Ship News on the Ist instant : " FAL MOUTH, SEPT. 28.—Arrived his Majesty's ships :Medway and Seringapatam from Portsmouth ; and sailed again on secret service, with sealed orders." _ _ • It will be found, we believe, that the " secret service" on which these ships have been sent, is no other than the extermination of the Pirates at Cape St. Antonio, and that they are empowered to take possession of all places which have become the haunts of those freebooters in that quarter. — We are also informed that Sir William Acourt's mission to Madrid, and the friendship between the two Courts which it indicates, are not uncon nected with the foregoing concession. In that case it remains to be seen what arrangement has been made with Spain respecting the recognition of South American Independence ; for Ministers certainly gave Parliament to understand that this most important subject was included in the nego ciations already, noticed.---(lbid.) [THE TIMES.] We publish from an American Paper the ac count of a Meeting held at Boston—(See another column of THE SuN)—the object of which is to accelerate the suppression of the Slave Trade.— The method proposed is that of colonization ; or, in other words, the transmitting back to the coast of Africa and there settling the redundant black population of those States of the Union iu which slavery is practised. We really do not understand enough of the details of this plan, either to re commend or disapprove of its adoption ; bnt we are sure that the more the subject of the slave trade is discussed, the more widely will its atro city be understood, the more generally will those engaged in it be subjected to odium, and, of consequence, the more speedily will its ex tinction take place. The Commander of the first moving column of Lower Arragon had sent a courier to the Govern ment, announcing the complete defeat of 1,200 insurgents, commanded by gambla and Capape, after a conflict of six hours. The battalions of Galicia, Xeres, and of the Crawn, sailed on the 18th from Algesiras for Catalonia. News had reached Madrid of Mina's departure from Lerido on the 13th, with 4,000 infantry, 800 cavalry, and twelve pieces of artillery. It was said that the members of the Regency were making dispositions for retreating into France,— The Baron cl'lrolles tad atttemted to introduce a slight degree of discipline into the insurgent force of Catalonia, but great numbers imme diately abandoned the colours of the Faith, and dividing into small parties, delivered themselves up to theft and pillage. On the part of the Go vernment at Madrid, great activity is apparent in taking measures for suppressing the insurrec tion. Several Officers of the Staff 11'0 left Ma drid on the 22d, for the sth and 6th military,dis tricts, bearing peremptory orders to the Generals commanding in those Provinces, that within 24 hours %OW troops should march from each of them • for Catalonia. All the accounts received in the capital portend the downfall of the insur rection. From Biscay, Navarre, Arragon, and Catalonia, dispatches were daily arriving of the successes of the Constitutionalists, though, as the battles fought were frequently on an extremely small scale, the Guerilla warfare being resorted to by both parties, they led to nothing deci sive.----(lbid.) [BRITISII PRESS.] It is stated in a Paper of yesterday that the attendance of - the Duke of Wellington at Con gress will be mere matter of etiquette ; that his Grace will deliver a communication with which he is charged ; but that he will take no part in the conferences. This indeed would be letting down the Great Captain of , the age with a ven. geance ! An ordinary courier dispached to the Marquis of Londonderry would answer the pur pose equally well. If it be meant that his Grace will take no efficient or inUuential part in the conferences, we acquiesce in the statement, be cause we believe the Sovereigns will have their own way, and that it will be only for his Grace to give his assent to their determination. We are not aware that the late Marquess of London derry did more at the Congress of Vienna, and we do not expect more from his successor at Verona. The new Constable Act, one of the legislative measures of last Session for improving the inter nal state of Ireland, will soon be carried into effect. Its operation will be confined to the province of Munster, the scene of the present outrages. Major Wilcocks has been placed at the head of the Magistrates and Constables em ployed under the Act in that province. One of the Papers asserts, that in the distribution of place under it, Government has abandoned all idea of patronage ; and that merit will be the only title admitted to an appointment of any rank whatever. This promise at the outset will pro bably be fulfilled : we hope it may never be [NEW TIMES.] The approaCh of the period for holding the Congress naturally awakens political specula tion and political intrigue; and we observe that the occasion is laid hold of by some of our co, temporaries to create a distrust in this country of the present French Ministers. It is obscurely thrown out that some of those Ministers are for invading Spain, and that M, de Villele, the President of the Council, with difficulty resists this project—that England is not entirely in accord with the French Government relative to Spain—that the Duke of Wellington's in disposition is feigned, and that he uses this artifice for the extraordinary purpose of obtain ing an interview with the Emperors of Austria and Russia previously to holding any communi cation Ivith any one of the French P,lenipoten tiaries !—To add to this mystification, The Times, the very Paper which contained the infamous Private Correspondence of 1818, charging all M. de Villele's friends with the most horrible trea son, now inserts a long and laboured article, in, sidiously praising this same M; de Villele, [MORNING fl FR AIM.] It appears that some shocking outrages have recently been committed in the south of Ireland. The Irish Journals menace humanity with the renewal of the system of horror and desperation which lately prevailed in that ill-starred part of the Empire ; and some of the Irish Magistrates—. at least, some who figure under the title of Magis trates—as correspondents of the Newspapers, talk of a renewed rebellion, We venture, how ever, to say, that „hese outrages are merely deplorable in themselves, rather• than alarm ing as to the nature. The Irish are ac customed to magnify these things some from a certain pomposity of language—others from a desire to have some occasion to be busy in the train of the Government, though they merely trudge at its tail on foot, and in the dirt. Accounts selected from such sources, and gathered as they appear into a sort of bouquet in the English Papers, naturally excite in the mind of the English reader a feeling of alarm be yond reason, and a credulous confidence in the nar rators, who represent this repetition of outrage as the result of systematic organization. W hen the peculiar description of the crimes is considered, their origin is easily perceived. The cases, in which men's lives and dwellings have been at tacked, are so very few, that they do not ex ceed the melancholy but natural average, in an extensive district, where the elements of so ciety are so disunited, and the sense of justice and sanctions of law so imperfect and fee ble. The remaining—that is, the great ma jority of the outrages, are burnings chiefly of tithe property, in the hands of the Clergy, or of laymen who had purchased it. Now the simple solution of this eruption of outrages, the result of momentary exasperation, is, that the present is the season, when the tithes in kind, or in money, are delivered to the clergyman by his parish ioners. We are far from palliating the guilt of the offenders ; we merely attribute it to its true cause—the pressure of a grievance acknowledged on all hands, by the Governments both of this country and of Ireland. The latter, even last Session, brought in a Bill on the subject of a commutation, which unhappily was not carried into a law. Some of the bigots in Ireland, either really bigots, or, what is infinitely worse, assum ing the mark of bigot zeal, from sordid calcula tion, have raised a cry that the Irish peasantry have formed a conspiracy against the Church, and that these outrages are the commencement of its execution. SUPPRESSION' OF THE SLAVE TRADE. BOSTON, SEPT. 7.—The Adjourned Meeting on the subject of an Auxiliary Colonization Society, and of a Society to aid in the Suppression of the Slaie Trade, was held on Wednesday evening, George Blake, Esq. in the Chair; Mr. Lewis Toppan, Secretary, in the absence of the Rev. Mr. Frothingham, who acted as secretary at the previous meeting. The following report was presented by the Com mittee and read, and after an interesting discussion of the whole subject, was unanimously accepted : The Committee appointed to consider the expediency of forming a Society for the purpose of aiding the funds of the American Colonization Society, or of assisting in the suppres sion of the Slave Trade, have paid such attention to the subject referred to them as the time and their opportunities would per. mit, and respectfully sumbit the following Report : " The importance of providing some remedy for the evils arising from the rapid relative increase of the black population in some portions of our country is becoming every year more serious. It is now well known, that where a slave-population abounds, their ratio of increase is much greater than that of the people among whom they live. Hence the time cannot be far distant when their numbers in some of the States, and their power, will predominate over that of those who hold them in servitude, unless some mode is devised 'of diminishing their numbers, or some provision made for removing the surplus portion of them. " It was in the expectation of furnishing in some measure a remedy for these evils, or at least of diminishing their danger, that the American Society for colonizing the free people of colour of the United States was established. This society has been in operation nearly six years, and its affairs appear to have been conducted with much enterprise and zeal, and, as your committee believe, in a spirit of enlightened Christian bene volence. " Were the object of the Society extended no farther than to the colonization of such people of colour in our country as are already free, or who will become free in the ordinary course of events, they would not in the view of the committee be such as to excite that deep interest among us which is necessary to se cure a very active operation. It might indeed afford some advantages to that unhappy people to remove them from their present degraded state, to a condition more free from tempta tions to vice, and more favourable to moral mid intellectual improvement ; and it would doubtless confer a benefit upoti the community from which they are taken. And if through the medium of a colony thus established, the arts of civilized life and the blesssings of Christianity can be introduced among a people who are ignorant of both, the good that may be done may be greatly increased. But the accomplishment of the ob jects, valuable as they are, appears too remote and of too difficult attainment to admit of their enlisting our feelings very ardently in the cause. Other objects of benevolence press upon us with more urgent solicitations and more immediate prospects of usefulness. " But if, while these purposes are accomplished," the colo nization of the free people of colour will aid effectually in the suppression of the slave trade, so as to lead to the entire aboli tion of that detestable traffic, and 4 the same time afford such encouragement to the emancipation of slaves as to prepare the why for the gradual extermination of slavery, it would become an object worthy the attention and assistance of the whole Christian world. " That such are the designs and expectations of those who are most active in managing the concerns of the American Co lonization Society, the Committee have the fullest confidence.— 'The Committee are not prepared •to give an opinion how far these expectations are likely to be realized. If a colony de cidedly and actively hostile to the slave-trade can be maintained on the coast of Africa, and especially if several could be sup ported on different parts of that coast much might doubtless be done to aid cruisers in the pursuit of slave ships, by furnishing supplies, and by giving information of their places of rendez vous. We are also assured that there are proprietors of slaves who are desirous of emancipating them, and that many will be thus emancipated as soon as an asylum shall be suitably pre pared for them, and the means provided for transporting them to it. " We have no means of ascertaining how extensively such a disposition prevails among the holders of slaves. But there is reason to apprehend that it is at present limited to a very small proportion of them. 'The events of the last two or three years have furnished melancholy proof that the great body of the people in the slave trade holding States are very little disposed to.relinquish any of the advantages which their slaves afford them. That there are exceptions to this feeling, we arefully persuaded, and we hope there are many. it is only from the belief, which the Committee very cordially entertain, that the active members of the American Colonization Society are perfect ly disposed to frame their measures with reference to the entire suppression of the slave trade, and to a gradual and prudent but'complete emancipation of those now held in slavery, that we can regard the Society as having any claim upon the sympathy or assitance of the people of New England. " At the same time there arc other modes by which assistance can be given towards suppressing the slave trade, without losing sight of the objects which have been mentioned. A society is particularly needed to aid prosecuting those who are concerned in carrying on this trade. By combining the influence and exertions of its members, this purpose may be accomplished much more effectually than it can be by indi viduals alone. " The Committee would therefore respectfully recommend, that a society be formed for the general purpose of assisting in the suppression of the slave-trade,—that a subscription be opened to provide funds for the proposed society,—and that the government of the society be fully authorized to make such a disposal of the funds as they shall judge most conducive' to the object of its institution. If, on further attention to the subject, the managers of the society shall be satisfied that the operations of the American Colonization Society are favourable to the suppression of the slave-trade, they will be disposed to aid them as far as their finds will permit ; while they will not neglect any other means that may present them, selves of accomplishing - that object. As, however, there may be some who are prepared to contribute at once to the funds of the American Colonization Society, the committee would pro pose that the subscription should be so arranged as to leave it to the option of each subscriber, either to appropriate the amount of his subscription directly or indirectly to that object, or commit it to the disposal of the government of the Society. " E. HALE, Jun. per Order." DUEL.—A meeting was appointed to take place yesterday morning at six o'clock, in Hack ney-fields, between Mr. J. C —M, an eminent builder, an Mr. C —LL, a Gentleman, residing in the neighbourhood of Hackney. The dispute be tween the parties arose out of some building trans action, and Ai r. J. C—M feeling himself agrieved, sent a challenge to Mr. C —LL. The bearer of the message was informed by Mr. C—LL that he accepted the challenge, and should be punc tual in his attendance, with *his second, at the time and place appointed, Mr. J. C —at and his friend cooled their heels yesterday morning from a little before six till past seven o'clock, and Mr. C—LL not making his appearance, Mr. J. C---m fired his pistol in the air, and threatened to horsewhip M. G— L r. the first ti me he could meet him ! EARTHQUAKE.—Wednesday night, the 3d of April, about 20 minutes past 10 o'clock, an earthquake was felt at Calcutta. There was no violent shock, but the undulations lasted upwards of two minutes, and agitated the oil in the wall lamps considerably, and the m o ti on o f th e ear th occasioned a similar dizziness to that produced by the motion of a ship. The earthquake, in was universally f cli el a t 'ernt i e ntl teg the town. w ' n. of l i ' n h t r e e n e si v ty e ' ry distinct shocks were recognized, and the atmosphere was very unusual for such awful visitations, the day being cool, and the afternoon far from sultry. The shock was also felt at Conullah, Berhampoor, and Jessore, but no accident of any kind oc curred, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. . • MANSION-HOUSE.—NEW AND MOST DESTRUCTIVE MODE or FISHING.—Five fishermen were brought before the LORD MAYOR by Howell the water-bailiff, and Nelson his deputy, charged with' having carried on a new, unlawful, and most destructive system of fishing in the river Thames. It appeared from the evidence that the Thames fishermen from Greenwich towards the Medway have lately adopted a plan of fishing, which is calculated in a degru; beyond all for mer example to thin the river of the broods of young fish. This system was described to be as follows :—A number of boats ,provide themselves each with a wide-mouthed net of the shape of a drink net, and of extremely large dimensions, which are extended as much as possible by long iron rods attached to beams, which float upon the surface. The boats thus accouter ed lie across the stream, and the mouths of the nets are held to wards the apprqaching tide. The " take" is in consequence of this marshalling of the little fleet immense, the fishermen being by one night's success enabled to combat with a month of ad versity and condemnation of nets and fines. Another tempta tion to this practice is superadded—the fishermen May lie in their boats, and smoke their pipes while the work of destruction is going on ; and it is only necessary for them to appoint a cle ver scout to watch for old Nelson," the water bailiff, lest he should interrupt their labours ; the produce of which is every day hawked about in Middlesex and Essex, and consists of young fish of every description. It was stated incidentally during the examination, that there is a species of fish amongst those so hawked about, which, if eaten without moderation, in evitably produces " cholera morbus." Nelson, as soon as he heard of the existence of the formidable fleet down the river, set sail with two men for the purpose of capturing them ; but the scout was true to his post, and the fleet were informed of the motions of the enemy, by means of a sort of telegraph. Before the arrival of the foe, all the nets were in a place of safety. Disguise was then resorted to, but Nelson's boat was known. On Wednesday last, however, Nelson got into a strange boat, and having put on a red coat, a cap, and a false nose, bore down upon the crews that lay below Greenwich, in a part called Bugsby's Hole, busily engaged in making preparations for a " take." But even in that disguise he was recognized by one of the prisoners, who immediately gave the alarm, and the nets were in a moment out of the way. A shout of derision was then set up at Nelson, wha upon the spot swore that he would get hold of some of the " bad ones." within forty-eight hours, and kept his word. The fishernien calculated upon 'his coming down upon them in some new disguise, and were on one occasion thrown into consternation at the appearance of an old woman who crossed the river with a sack of potatoes. They little expected that, old and infirm as the deputy is, he would pay them a visit on a stormy night ; but he went into the neigh bourhood late in the evening, and concealed himself until mid night, when he sallied out, and ran direct in upon the whole fleet in Bugsby's hole. The nets were cut away, and the oars went to work, but Nelson dragged the river, and succeeded in getting six large nets into his possession before morning, after an infinite deal of labour. Having recognized the owners, he commanded them to appear before the Lord Mayor, and his command on such occasions is mostly obeyed implicitly, as • they know how fruitless it is, and what they may _expect, if they disobey. One of the fishermen did not appear, and a warrant was issued for his apprehension. The fishermen, in their defence, declared that they were forced by their extreme poverty to make use of unlawful nets. One of them stated that the parish had purchased him his net in order to rid themselves of the burden of maintaining him. The man who had prevented Nelson from seizing the net on the first expedition, pleaded that it was to save his own net, which was all he had in the world, that he rowed before, and not to warn the other fishermen. The whole of them declared they were too poor to pay any fines, and that as Mr. Nelson had not only seized their nets, but also the whole of their " gear," anchors, &c., they must be utterly ruined if their gear were taken from them. The LORD MAYOR expressed his surprise at the infatuation of the prisoners in so pursuing a system which was manifestly to the injury of the body, as they destroyed the brood of the succeeding year. There could be little surprise at the com plaints of the diminution of the broods of large fish, whilst the practices now complained of were carried on. It appeared that the temptation to the practices arose not so much from any su perior profit, but from the hours of idleness it afforded ; for nearly as many full-sized and wholesome fish might, it was admitted, be taken with proper labour with lawful nets. His Lordship felt it his duty to condemn the whole of the nets and the gear and tackle attached to them. He fined the fisherman who gave intelligence of the approach of Nelson, Ms., in addi tion to the forfeiture of his tackle. WORSHIP-STREET.—CAUTION TO PUBLICANS. IR consequence of the numerous complaints which have arisen through the inattention of publicans to the last Act of Parlia ment respecting licensed Victuallers, the Magistrates, with a praiseworthy attention to the morals of the lower classes, who generally frequent those houses at late hours of the night, have directed all landlords to be summoned who shall be found to suffer tippling at unseasonable hours. According to this deter mination ; no less than twenty-three landlords of public houses appeared yesterday at this office charged with the above offence, and after a patient investigation of each case by the sitting Ma gistrates, Mr. BEVILL and Mr. BENNETT, the• whole were disposed of as follows :—Samuel Taylor, of the British Oak, Baltic-street, St. Luke's ; Samuel Hewitt, Jacob's Well, Church-street ; Barker, the Butchers, Newington ; Cochrane, Crown and Cushion, Grub-street; John Farringdon, Black Dog, Church-street; Thomas Edwards, Duke of Wel lington, Three Colts-lane ; Abraham Barker, King and Queen, Hare-street ; -- Barry, Bell, Shoreditch ; and William Ilett, Ship, Baker-street, were found guilty, and sentenced to pay each a fine of 505., with 6s. 6d. costs. Joan Adams, Bull's Head, Thomas-street; Crispwell, Coach and Horses, Newington ; and Sarrah Henderson, Admiral Keppel, Church. street, fined each 255. and costs. The others were dismissed with a repremand, and cautioned not to peep open their houses late at night. . . The worthy Magistrate wished it to be distinctly unders stood, that the Act of Parliament says, that no public-houses shall be kept open at late hours, under a penalty of 5/., with power to mitigate it to one half that sum ; and the second of fence is lig., without any remission. Although it is not stated precisely the hours at which the houses must be closed, yet the Magistrates, after due consideration,lave declared that half past eleven o'clock on Saturday nights, and eleven o'clock on other nights, should be the latest period ; and if after that time persons were found in houses drinking, the landlords must be liable to the penalty, according to the Act of Parliament.— Many landlords made their excuses that although persons were found at their houses at improper hours, their doors were closed but the Magistrates would not listen to such an excuse. The office was crowded to excess with the persons sum moned, and others anxious to hear the decision of the Magi strates. HAT TON-GARDEN.—The wife of a very eminent copper smith, in the vicinity of Fleet-market, was brought up in custody of a constable, and underwent a very long private exa mination, charged with stealing a piece of gingham out of a linen-draper's shop in Holborn. Several gentlemen, friends of the prisdner, were present, who felt themselves hurt - at the scan dal brought on them through the charge against her. The lady was committed to Clerkenwell prison for another examination on Thursday nest. Ten thousand pounds bail was offered for her appearance, which the Magistrates refused to accept. OFFlCE.—Yesterday a ragged apprentice girl was brought before the Magistrates by one of the Officers belonging to Mary-le-bone, who charged her master and mis tress with cruel treatment. The girl stated, that on Saturday last she informed her mistress she was unable to do the whole of the household work, when her mistress beat her most un mercifully with the hearth broom, that she was compelled to leave the house, and was in the street all the night. She had to do the whole of the work, including washing for seven, be sides herself, and was repeatedly beat by her mistress. An elderly Lady here stepped forward, and said, that the child on Sunday morning was sitting at her door in a most miserable condition ' • she took her in, and gave her an asylum until the following day. The parochial officer in attendance said this was not the first complaint that had been made. The Magi strate observed, the statement of the girl herself and her ap pearance were fully sufficient to prove that she had been most shamefully treated. The master who appeared to the sum mons, said he knew nothing of the transaction, and his wife was unable to come on account of her family.—The Magistrate ordered that the girl should not go back again to her mistress, and that the master should refund to the parish the Fernium of 3/. ls. given with her. A CAUTION AGAINST SWINDLERS.—There is a family of great boys and girls, with their pretended mother and grandmother, assuming the title of ladies i the children are re ported to be minors, and when of age they are to have 2,5001. each. These depredators are in the habit of taking genteel houses in the vicinity of London, which they furnish, and in a short time establish credit with all tradesmen. When bills are delivered, one pretends no knowledge of the matter—others that they belong to her ladyship, and she is not at home. 'When the visiters become warm upon the subject, the swindlers travel by night, and elude - detection. Croydon, Mitcham, Bedington, and the intermediate places, have more or less contributed against their wills to support them. In 1791, a pound of fine cotton, which cost 7s. 6d. was spun into yarn, measuring,97 post, miles, of the value of 221. It was sent to Glasgow, and there made into muslins, which was pre septed to her late Majesty Queen CHARLOTTE. FATAL ACCIDENT• waswelh. CORONER'S g e r l o d v at e t I h fo N e : l e G lj c E r O .
