Mancri 12.—The l'euilleton, No. 73, distributed in the Chamber of the Deputies, states, that in one of the Sittings after the 14th of this month, the Report will be made on the Petition of Mr. D. Loveday, claiming nis daughter, who he complains has been taken from him, and been made to change her religion. This Petition will be followed by that of Mr. Dancourt, who is confined in the fort of Ha, at Bourdeaux. This Petitioner also claims his daughter, whom a Sister of La CharW has taken away, as he says, during his confinement, and whom he cannot recover, notwithstanding his applications to the Magistrates. Yesterday tranquillity prevailed at Notre Dame, de Bonne Nouvelle, Petits Nres, and St Eustache, only towards the end Of the Sermon four petards were heard. After the preaching, an assemblage was formed in the Square - ; some clapping of hands and hisses were heard ; four or tire d'armes came by the Rue du Four, and the crowd LnmediatJly dispersed. Numerous patroles of cavalry traversed the quarter of the Palais Royal during the evening. According to a letter from Parthenay, dated the Bth March, General Berton had been nearly arrested the day before. One of the officers in pursuit of him arrived at nine in the morning at a farm, where the fugitive, disguised as a peasant, had passed the night ; but having reason to think himself known, ne had left it before day-light. The letter adds, that he had Rio attendants, and chewed the greatest uneasiness. A letter from Thouars of the Bth March, in the Journal of th e T wo Sevres, says, that the exertions of the Sub-prefect of nrNSUire have been so far successful, that a good many rebels hav e been arrested ; the same result has been obtained in . Parthenay. Yet though a bo v e thi r ty o f th e se diti ous h ave been arrested, none of the Chiefs of this criminal enterprise hare been taken, but there are still hopes of their being over taken. In the Chamber of Peers, the first four articles of the Law on the Journals were adopted yesterday. In the other Chamber, the Budget for 1822 was further dis cussed. AUGSBURG, MARCH 7.—" (Extract of a Private Letter.) The mail from Vienna has brought to-day letters from that capital, which confirm the catastrophe of Ali Pacha. Ali having proceeded to acts of violence towards some of his Nople, the latter seized him and cut oft' his head, which they ~2 11 t to Chourschild Pacha, who immediately dispatched to C.onstantinople some Tartars to carry this bloody trophy t o th e Grand Seignor. " They arrived on the 13th of February in that city, where their presence excited lively transports of joy. It is affirmed y,at this event has raised the fanaticism of the 3lussulmans to tue highest pitch ; it is even asserted, according to letters from Eelgrade, that the Grand Vizier, &Ern Pacha, was to march with the army assembled in the environs of Constantinople, and proceed to the Banks of th e D anu b e . Th e con fi rmat i on of this march of the Turks is expected with impatience, as it would leave no doubt of their intention - to commence hostilities against the Russians." The last accounts from the Morea arc very important. They announce that the Greeks have taken the citadel of Corinth, and obtained poss ess ion of a co ns id era bl e quant i ty of treasure, which the .lurks had amassad there. It is also asserted that the Acropolis, or citidel of Athens, capitulated on the 3d of February, and that it is proposed to establish there the Central Government which had been removed from Argos to megara. Virginia Papers arrived this morning to the 16th February, three days later than the last. [From the Herald of the 15th of February.] Faoht BERMODA.—Mr. H. TABB, of this place, who arrived here yesterday from Bermuda, has favoured us with the Bermuda Papers of the 23d January, but they contain no news. It was re ported and believed at Bermuda, that the British Islands in the Wrest Indies would be opened to the United States. The Bermudian of the 23d January has the following:—lt is reported, but We believe upon very slender authority, that the West India ports are to be opened to American vessels. Whether this is not a consummation devoutly to be wished in the West, and thence the report, we know not ; but it appears to us, how ever, rather chimerical at present, particularly as the trade, established as it was in 1818, was more reciprocal than it had hitherto been ; and if the Americans felt an unusual commercial de pression, the question ought to be fairly put— Where was the same not felt during nearly all the Period between its establishment and the passing of Mr. NEWTON'S Bill ?—it was the same in Eng• laud, in France, in the North of Europe, and in America. [Extract of a Letter from St. Jago de Chili, Oct. 17.] " For the information of our countrymen com ing to these seas, we inform them that there Is infinite danger for vessels of any and every nation approaching the Island of Saint Mary's, .as on the coast of Aranco there have already been captured two American brigs, and their crews made prisoners. These captures are made by an Officer in the service of the King of SPUN, named BERNA RDES, who has a large Party of Indians atta( hed to his cause, which is a determined opposition to the Govern !tient of Chili. It would be advisable that our Merchantmen should be cautioned not to touch at these places. The mode of attack is with boats, and by night. The state prisoners and other convicts sent to the Island of Juan Fernandez, have risen and overpowered the force on that Island. The difficult and important subject of Irish Tithes was brought forward last night in the House of Lords by the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, Who presented a Petition from the City of Wa terford, entreating that Parliament would take s° , fle measures to prevent the irritation aris -I'ls from the present system of collection.— Tile Earl of LIVERPOOL, in his reply, de clared himself inclined to favour a plan for c ommutation, and admitted that the present d isturbances were not necessarily a bar to the C onsideration of this subject, or to the adoption of such measures connected with it as might be deem e d advisable. We trust that whenever a Proposition on this head shall come before Par liament, it will meet with that strict and anxious attention which befits the importance of the subject, as affecting Ireland more immediately, but also as indirectly and collaterally attaching itself to the interests of this country. 'tVe shall be happy if any step that may be taken by Go vernment can have the effect of obviating future irritation in Ireland ; but where there exists an inclination to discord and tumult, concession can only be adopted with safety as the preventa tive of diseases that have not yet broken out ; to rely upon it as the sedative of disorders already ragin g is dangerous and delusive. Such measures as Parliament may adopt with a view to the im- provement of Ireland, must be looked upon as tending to prevent future calamities,and the fur ther extension of those now prevailing ; but the present mischief must be suppressed by means more prompt, more vigorous, and more decisive. Lord LIVERPOOL announced, in answer to a question from the Marquis of LA NSDOWNE , th a t the subject o f Prison-government in this country was now under the consideration of the Secre tary of State. Lord HOLLAND sarcastically remarked that the present was a most atten tive administration—subjects of importance were constantly under their consideration, but unfortunately they never brought them forward in Parliament. Very different is the Opposition, who frequently bring forward subjects of import ance, but do not always make it a point to take them into consideration first A vague and singular discussion took place i❑ tl►e House of Commons upon a communica tion, which, it seems, Mr. ARBUTHNOT had sent to some Members of that House respecting Lord NoIIMANBY'S Motion. One letter on this subject had been handed to Lord Jolts RUSSELL by the Gentleman who had received it, and who was re quested in it to oppose the motion as part of a sys tem fornied by Opposition (in their despair of get. ting into power) for breaking down the means of administering public affairs, and rendering it impossible to carry on the Government.— Lord JOHN RUSSELL appears to have been some what at a loss as to the use he should make of this alarming document; and indeed it appears to us to have been a question of no small diffi culty how such a paper could be introduced at all in the public proceedings of the House. The Noble—Mover we cannot say, for he moved nothing—interlocutor we may call him— summoned Mr. ARBUTHNOT to disclaim or avow the obnoxious Epistle. The Honourable Secre tary admitted his having written Letters of the nature alleged to several Members ; but declared them to have been merely private communica tions, addressed to individuals with whom he was personally intimate. Without passing any judgment upon the contents of the particular document animadverted on by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, we may ask, and we do so with great wonder, upon what principle any Member of Parliament could call upon another in his place to give an account of expressions, whatever they might be, which were conveyed in a private letter to a pri vate friend ? Are Members to be wholly denied the privilege of consulting, advising, and even persuading one another as to the line they shall take on measures to be brought before them ? And if a letter may be noticed, as that of Mr. ARBUTHNOT was last night, may not a conversation also become the subject of Par liamentary Inquiry, if one of the parties should be indiscreet enough to reveal it, and if some thing should appear to have been said derogatory to the character of Opposition, and calculated to thwart their proceedings ? Is it then to be assert ed that a Member of Parliament shall be placed under a controul, a surveillance which no other gentleman in the country would tolerate for a mo ment? We think great deference was:paid to the personal character of the young Nobleman who introduced this complaint, when the House of Commons endured even for a moment the propo sition that a member having by some means picked up a Letter addressed to another Gentle.. man in the House, can enter that Assembly, single out the Writer of the Epistle, —de mand of him a public explanation, and even refer particular sentences to the judgment of the Speaker, who might as properly have been asked his opinion of the last Canto of Don Juan. Mr. ARBUTHNOT disclaimed the in tention of giving offence in any quarter, and Lord J. RUSSELL declared himself satisfied with the Hon. Secretary's explanation, being much pleased, we should imagine, to get rid of this anomalous affair ; for even if the letter had contained expressions in the highest degree offensive, and the author had made no conces sion or explanation, we think the oldest Member present would have been greatly at a loss to frame any motion, or build any Parliamentary proceeding upon such a loose and irregular foun dation. The rumours of yesterday, respecting a total change in the Colonial and Maritime system of the country, are rather confirmed to-day ; and well informed persons believe it to be the inten tion of the King's Ministers to recommend the legislature to adopt immediate measures for ef fecting this revolution in the old National Policy. Whatever difference of opinion may exist as to the ultimate effect of this change on the general interests of the community, there can be none as to its immediate effect upon the shipping and those branches of manufactures which are de-1 pendant upon the trade with the Colonies. The most violent and bigotted advocates for the new system must admit that the shock to the Canadas and the Sister Provinces, and to British Shipping and the large bodies of men connected with them, must be most violent, if not ruinous.— Deeply interested, therefore, as so large a por tion of the community undoubtedly are, in the issue of these great questions, we certainly think that the course which has been pursued is neither fair nor worthy of men proposing measures, which, in order to be adopted, ought to be ob viously necessary, as well as certain of producing a beneficial result. It is said that, even so early as August last, the West India Interest had some intimation of the intention of Ministers to extend the intercourse in American Shipping between the United States and the British Sugar Co lonies. If the Government at so early a pe riod contemplated this important change, it does strike us as a strange inconsistency that they should not have ventured to com municate their views either to the Colonists or to the Shipowners. If the policy of the mea sure was obvious, or if the necessity of adopting a measure, not defensible upon general principles, was urgent or apparent, we can see no reason for observing the secrecy and caution which they have preserved. We can recollect that in Mr. PITT'S Administrations, a very different course was pursued. lie saw clearly the extent and na ture of every measure which he intended to bring forward, and he knew its certain effect upon every class of the community which it was likely to affect, and consequently he entertained no fear of confusion in his original plan by hear ing the arguments of those who apprehended it might he injurious to their interests. He gave the earliest intimation of his views to all parties —he heard them patiently and candidly, and it is well known that no Minister ever more con ciliated the esteem and respect of the Manufac turers and all classes in the country than Mr. PITT did, for they knew that in his hands their interests would not be lightly sacrificed for some temporary purpose ; and that if any sa crifice was necessary for the general wel fare, he would endeavour to discover some means of repairing the injury, or at least take the trouble of convincing them of the necessity of the sacrifice. We believe there is no doubt that a change in the Colonial and Maritime policy is seriously entertained, but we trust that no mea sures will be adopted in this Session of Parlia ment to effect it. The relief to the West India Planters is uncertain ; the injuries, and even ruin, to the British North Am•.2rican Colonies, and to the Shipping, is'certain. We have seen in a Morning Paper some observations tending to disclose the scheme which is said to be in agita tion, but they are so vague and so 'unsatisfac tory, as well as inconsistent and improbable, that it weuld be useless to enter into any comment upon them. Mr. CALVERT, according to the Parliamentary Reports, stated last night, in the Committee on the Repeal of the Malt Duty, that he some time since informed the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the price of Porter to the Public would not he diminished by the repeal of so small a sum as a shilling a bushel. This is a very strange de claration, if truly stated ; and the public at large, as well as retail venders of porter, may well be surprised that the loss of so great a sum to the revenue should be of no advantage to the public in the sale of an article of so much importance to the community at large. It is reported that the Publicans in general have resolved to petition Parliament on the subject. The latest intelligence from Ireland, received this day, will be found in another part of our Paper. PORTUGUESE CONSULATE GENERAL, Great Winchester -street, March 15, 1822. Excellency the Portuguese Minister, having trans mitted to me an order regarding the exportation from this coun try of Portuguese produ ce t o P ortuguese ports, in British and other foreign vessels, I herewith beg leave to hand you a copy •of the same, for the information of the Gentlemen at Lloyd's, and all others whom it may concern. The following is the order : His Most Faithful Majesty's law, prohibiting the impor tation of Portuguese produce and merchandise in foreign bottoms, either from port to port of the Portuguese dominions, or imported in foreign vessels for foreign ports, to be re-exported for the Portuguese, not having hitherto been executed in the country, you are desired to make it public that consular papers will not be granted to any foreign vessel bound to any of the said Portuguese p or t s, h aving on board produce of the Portu guese growth, and that no entry will be permitted to any such produce at any of the ports of the Portuguese States imported on board of any foreign vessels. Under said denomination of Portuguese produce are likewise included all East India goods, wares, and merchandise, imported from Madeira and Portuguese bottoms into the Portuguese dominions, to which also no con sular papers in the ports of this United Kingdom, nor entry into the ports of the Portuguese States, shall henceforward be permitted. I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient Servant, • ANTHONY LOPES DA CUNHA. John Bennett, jun., Esq., Secretary to the Committee of Lloyd's. Cuuttcuctt's COLLEGE. —The hearing of the interesting cause of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL against H. JOLLIFFE, Esq. M. P. and the other Trustees of this College, is fixed for the 23d of next month. This is by far the most important case that has occurred since the passing of Mr. BROUGHAM'S Act. BRIGHTON, MARCH I-I.—The.KING took a carriage airing in public yesterday, from two to four o'clock in the afternoon, and was greeted by the most affectionate salutations of all ranks and descriptions of people. Letters from Pernambuco, dated January 23, mention that things there were in a very un settled state. For several months a spirit of insu bordination and discontent has prevailed,although without assuming any revolutionay aspect, and', has shewed itself lately in several serious affrays and partial commotions. It has not subsided, l and in a fresh disturbance several white persons were wounded. The provisional Government continue to exercise their functions, but they are weak in moral power, and have scarcely any mi litary force to support thorn ; the last troops which sailed from Lisbon not having yet arrived at Pernambucco. We understand that two persons who have signed their dissent, one for 50 thousand and the other for 70 thousand, petitioned the Bank to be reinstated again, to which the Bank could not give their consent. The 41st Regiment embarked on Wednesday at Gravesend, for the East Indies. A company of the 71st Regiment of Foot marched on Thursday morning, from Dover Castle, on their route for Chatham. The Hon. and Rev. Thomas Coventry, at his Tithe Audit on the Nth ult. abated 15 per cent. upon all small as well as lsrge payments due at Michaelmas lost. Wednesday last, two turtles were picked up alive, near the Pier, at Sheerness, supposed to have been washed off the deck of an Indiaman. QREEN'S.SQUARE.-1111 S morning J. W. PAR KINS, Esq. attended at this office, in consequence of a charge brought against him by HANNAH WHITE of being the father of a child, with which she is now cnseint. Mr. PARKINS solemnly avows . that the charge is wholly without foundation, but as it was made on oath, he was bound in a penalty of 401. and two sure ties of 201. each, to appear at the next Session. MARKT:AND, Esq. was the Presiding Magistrate, and after the official business was settled, he jocu larly said, he might probably c o n gra t u l a t e t h e country on the prospect of a young Sheriff, who in due time would perhaps manifest as much public spirit as the father. Mr. PARKINS took this pleasantry in good part, and answered with equal humour. The ground of the charge was alledged to have taken place on the day of her late, MAsEsT y's funeral procession, which induced the Ex-Sheriff to say that it was a black transac tion, and that the child would probably resemble the Knight of the Woeful Countenance. ev ,t i d y' • - a 4, 2,1 . • 7 \46%/ 4 ' (71 FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

The rose-bud emits its perfume When the life of the flow'ret is o'er • And thy name shall be known, when the tomb Shall rear its high portals no more. Thy altar is built in the heart, And its incense shall smoke to the sky ; Though the body from hence may depart, Yet the brighter part never can die. On thy grave the soft heath-bell grows wild, And the thistle of Scotia is seen ; Mother Nature, the home of her child Bedecks with her mantle of green. And there, by the Moon's waning light, " Tam O'Shanter" rides o'er the wild moor," And the " Cotter," on " Saturday night," Drops a tear, " 'mid November's loud roar." Ye welodlark and martlet, go rest On this grave pour your sweet warbling tone, Build over his ashes your nest, For his music's as wild as your own. Teach your younglings to whistle his fame From the ivy that circles his urn, Till the mountains re-echo his name, And the vallies the echoes return. J. D. C. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—The following letter was sent to Mr. FAWCETT by Mr. HARRIS, previously to his leaving the Theatre : " Old Bond-street, Tuesday, March 12, 1822. " My DEAR PAWCETT—By the inclosed form of notice*, you will perceive that the negotiation which has been fo r some time pending between the Gentlemen holding the other shares of Covent-Garden Theatre, and myself, is concluded. I have the proud satisfaction of being able to state, that, by this ar rangement, the payment of every creditor on the Theatre is com pletely secured against all hazard. For this I have been induced to make the sacrifice of my personal feelings, and to quit, for a time, the society of those whom I am p rou d to ca ll my f r i en d s, by hose aid and exertions I have weathered many a theatrical gale; such, however, (I am confident), is the good-will of the Company of Covent-Garden Theatre towards me, that they will be the first to rejoice that I have been relieved from the heavy weight of responsibility which has presssd upon me for so long a period. Pray offer them this tribute, which lam happy to pay to their private worth and their professional talent, and assure them that, as Chief Proprietor of Covent-Garden Thea tre, my interests are still inseparably linked with theirs, and that I am as anxious as ever to promote the welfare and happiness of you all, and believe me, " Your sincerely attached Friend, " To J. FAWCETT, Esq. " H. HARRIS. *" A notice to take all orders from the other Proprietors, Captain FORBES, Messrs. WILLETS, and C. KEMBLE." ORATORIO.-The performance of this sublime entertainment at Covent-Garden Theatre last night consisted of The Messiah, in three parts. The two choruses, " For unto us a Mid is born," and the Hallelujah, were encored. The beautiful air of " I know that my Redeemer liveth," was delightfully sung by Miss STE PHENS. Mrs. BELLCIIAMBERS sung " lle was despised" with most affecting expression. Mrs. SALMON, BELLAMY, and SAPIO, ably contributed to the general gratification. None of the Italian performers assisted on this occasion. The whole went off with correctness and energy, and wits highly applauded by a very numerous audience. GREAT PIGEON MATCH.

It will be recollected that an application was mad . e on a previous day for an Injunction to restrain the defendant from publishing a song, in a work called the " Gazette of Fashion," of which he (plantiff) is the proprietor. Mr. SHADWELL, on the Lord Chancellor's com ing into Court, said it was not intended to bring this case on until the next Seal. LORD CHANcELLott.—" How long shall I be expected to interfere with such trivial subjects as song singing. —(Laughing.)--I suppose it will next be expected for me to restrain a music or dancing master from teaching a young lady any. particular song. It is a jocular subject, and per haps next week I shall be called on to restrain. the singing of ' Ccasc sour funning.'—l would however suggest that perhaps the Vice-Chan cellor would be the best person to apply to ; he is a younger man, and no doubt understands such subjects better titan I do." The parties then left the Court. The re mainder of the morning was occupied in hearing petitions in bankruptcies and other cases. COURT OF CHANCERY (Tins DAy). ASSIZE INTELLIC ENCE. ESSEX LENT ASSIZES, CaELilsronD, MAncli IC ADMINISTERINC. POISON. William Richardson was indicted for wilfully and maliciously administering to Susanna, the wife of Thomas Hairs, and Mary Bacon, a certain deadly poison, called copperas, with intent to kill and murder them, at Debden, on the sth January last. Mr. BRODERICK conducted the prosecution. It appeared in evidence, that the prisoner had lodged in the same house where the prosecutors lived. He was in the habit of taking his meals with them. On the morning of the sth of January, before the women came to their breakfasts, the prisoner was seen playing with some children in their room. The women on drinking their tea complained of its bitterness, but still drank two or three cups. The prisoner did not eat any breakfast, but was seen to go in and out during the meal. In the evening the women were taken extremely ill with a violent vomiting.— The next day they found their tea still bitter. A plate, with sonic small quantity of copperas on it was found in the room on the 7th of January. The person who observed it exclaimed it was copperas, and the prisoner, who was in another part of the room, said lie knew it was copperas, for it was like what his father cleaned his shoes with. The prosecutrix, Bacon, remained sickly for upwards of a month afterwards ; and then miscarried. No app aren t mot i ve was i mputed to the prisoner for the offence with which he was charged. His demeanour on the occasion was urged as the ground of suspicion against him. Before. the examination of the first witness for the prosecu tion was closed, Mr. JESSOPP urged, on behalf of the prisoner, the propriety of establishing , in the first instance that part of the indictment which charged the prisoner with administering a deadly poison. Now he apprehended that copperas was not a deadly poison. Mr. Chit, a Chemist, of Chelmsford, gave it as his opinion, that copper as was not, properly speaking, a deadly poison, and that the stomach would reject a dose sufficient to produce de.ith, befbre it could have that effect. Two ounces, if dis solved in liquid and retained in the stomach, might produce very serious consequences, but lie was not sure it would occa sion death. Dr. John Baddeley, a Physician of Chelmsford, gave it as hisppinion that two drachms of copperas would produce death. On his cross-examination he admitted, that he was confound ing verdigris with copperas, supposing that copper produced the substance called copperas. He was Ignorant that copper did not enter into the composition of copperas. The learned physician's evidence was a little confused and unsatisfactory. Mr. Baron G RAIIA being of opinion that the evidence as to the deadly property of the drug alluded to have been admini stered having failed, he thought the indictment could not pro- ceed, and therefore directed an acquittal. The Jury accordingly found the prisoner —Not Guilty. There was nothing of public interest in the Nisi Priut Court to-day. MERCANTILE SHIPPING, &c.

DECEASE OF CALEB HILLIER PARRY, 1N1.D., F.R.14, &C. Died on Saturday, at his residence in Sion-Place, aged 66, CALEB HILLIER PARRY, 11. D., F.R.S., &c.; after almost unexampled sufferings, which, during the protracted space of nearly six years, he had bored with a firmness and resignation becoming the Christian profession, which he maintaikki in the fulness of sincerity and conviction. Endowed with IN most powerful natural talents, the most vigorous and energetic mind, and adorned with accomplishments of the most varied and rare description, he had, during nearly forty years, sustained in this city a brilliant professional and social career, wizen, in 1816, by the awf u l d is p ensat i on o f Providence he was suddenly deprived of intercourse w ith t h e world around him, and doomed to linger the remainder of h's days un der the most acute and complicated maladies. We would just add to this brief notic e , th at t h e tr ib ute pa i d to the worth And talents of Dr. Parry, upon the presentation of their Cold ,'Medal to him by the Bath and West of England Society, (of which he was a Vice-President and a most distinguished Member,) is but a feeble expression of his merits.—Dr. Parry was father to Dr. Charles Henry Parry, of this city; and to the gallant, scientific. and enterprising Capt. William Edward Parry, now 1 commanding the Northern Exp e diti on .—Th e I nterment took place this morning, at the Abbey Church ; when; in addition to the chief mourner (Dr. Charles Parry), others of the afflicted family, and some select personal friends of the de( eased (as pall bearers), the corpse was followed by nearly the whole of the medical profession of this city, who, at their own particular re quest, attended the funeml-rites ; thus paying the last tribute of respect to an individual, who, during his long exalted career, had possessed their unbounded esteem, confidence, and affec tion.—(Bath Herald, March 15.)
