SOLEAI QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT The French Journals of Thursday, and Spanish Papers to the Ist instant, have arrived since our last, from which we give extracts in a preceding column. The report of the acceptance of the ' l tussian ullintatom is not confirmed,and the same uncertainty still exists respecting the issue of the negociations at Constantinople. k Trieste ar ticle announces the reduction of the fortress of Arta by the Greeks, so that the whole of .Acar- PaUia is now in their- power. Coron still holds gut ; but we hope soon to hear of the capture of that, fortress, which will leave the Turks without a single fortified position - in the Peloponnesus. New York Papers arrived this morning to the 1 7th Dec. The following is an extractl— gc ROYAL BLOCKAD K.—(National Advocate, 14 th Dec.)—The New Orleans Paper of the 12 th Nov. states, that the Spanish Authorities had declared the whole coast of columbia, ex cept Porto Cabello, in a state of blockade, their. „naval force consisting of one frigate, two brigs, four schooners, and six or eight privateers ; that they have captured six American vessels, which were going into the Republican ports with provi sions, as well as a British cutter from St. Tho mas's, and a British merchant ship from Barba. does, all of which had been carried into Porto Cabello, and condemned. The markets for American produce were very dull both - at -Cu l'acoa and St. Thomas's, during the blockade of the ports on the Main." • • W e think it is pretty evident, from the' 'o9ns presented at the various Agricultural Meet, . . . 'ings, throughout the country, as well as from the . • 'whispers which are current in the Parliamentary circles, that in the ensuing Session of Parliament there will be a considerable reduction of taxa. r . _ One good, at any fate, will arise from this. .11 a dimi nu ti on o f t axes b e no t f o ll owe d,—as we Ilieve it will not be followed, —by a : diminution (3 ' ' the public distress, the people will at least be 'gratified by th e trial . ; an d if it he found that between taxation and the .existing distresses ; :t here really is not the relation, as has been so• generally supposed, of cause and effect,. the dis covery or universal acknowledgment of the true causes will be accelerated.—On Saturday a meet irng..e the Land-o wner s an d occupi e rs o f th e •‘-ounty of Norfolk was held in the Shire-house at, • Norwich, which was completely filled by a mime. : l'9 l ls and most respectable assemblage of the Nobl ' li tY, Gen try, and Yeomanry of the county, includ ing th e ni g h Sh er iff, th e Earl ' of ALBEMARLE, and- Lord SurFIELD, and Mr. COKE and Mr. I\V ODE • the Members for the County.—Mr. 14 ILTIITELL, before submitting to the Meeting a S eries of Resolutions, which he had prepared for its adoption, said, that after the fullest-consi deration, he was convinced that the principal .'cause of the distress was, the enormous and ever : `,thelming taxation of the.country. : did not to announce this publicly, that with . regard - -( o the conduct of the Administration in - the ex . 'Penditure of the country, his. opinions had un dergone a most decided change. - He did not think that. the expenditure could be cut-down . (0 the , level of 1792, but there. was much ePence, which, after four .years of '.pretencl, economy and retrenehthent, might be and o ught to have been got rid of. It- had been 'ad that the landlords should reduce their I"ts, and the . clergy their tithes. He would,. lo wever, take upon himself-to assert, that, even i . rents and tithes were reduced to what they were )792, the cultivators of the land would find. it ."'Possible to go on !—We are not disposed to 'carrel with this Opinion.:. On the contrary, we i e ...disposed to think that it 'is cOrrect. Mr.. iii i lunTELL, however, "who thought- 'that so int . "se a reduction of rents and . tithes could -not . , die the farmers, proceeded to contend that their t, tresses arose from great and oppressive taXa -1„11.--But though his speech he seemed to rk. for relief 'only to a reduction of taxes, his o e ,selutions proposed the obtaining of that object „efly by the repeal of Mr. PEEL'S Bill, being, N J.. That the present alarmin!l and depressed state of agrl. th e "tre of this kingdom must iii stably and speedily lead to be u tter ruin of the occupiers of the soil; and will eventually 1 4 1 lost injurious to the owners of-land, unless effectualmea . 44, 6 5 4 Pe• immediately adopted by Parliament to . arrest its de , , ; '.ve progress. ' • 4 11 2 . 'That it is the opinion of this meeting that the most pro rese2 and therefore most proper, means of affording relief, is to liZr i e the currency to the standard o value in existence pre to and at the time of passin the Cash Resumption pay th,lt 4 ct.(commonly called Mr. Peel's Bill,) as in reference to N a nandard of value nearly all the existing contracts . were . 1 and debts incurred, and the departure from which, if til°r'er Persisted, in, must inevitably involve the whole agricul ial community in common ruin. 3 . That no measures of , relief can be permanent and Partali unless the most rigid economy be enforced in every de- Tent of the State, and the expenditure thereof, as well lo w a ' as military, from the head of the Executive.down to the 41 est ofßces of' Government, be very materially reduced— veaBtlres, the adoption of which will relieve all classes from the 4bZwlielmins burden of tax . ation which now oppresies them, en le_!•andlords to lower their rent,.. the. clergy their tithesy and the resent enormous poor s rate and . other heavy. ex ces incidental to the occupancy and cultivation of the soil.. a D :I. That. th e present heavy and oppressive dutfori malt t l ;s:Les greatly to the disadvantage of the f t trmer, by reducing -th a . ' O , asumption, and consequently thc price of . barley . and •th„. t tle total annihilation of that tax is of vital importance to - 4gricultural interest." wehe.A esolutions having been seconded. by Mr. 4 Tsorr the Earl of ALBE*AItj.E argued that the distresses ' of the agricultural interest, and of . . the country, arose from excessive. taxation, but objected to the Resolution which proposed the repeal of Mr. PEEL'S Bill. A paper currency had been the source from which .the public mis fortunes flowed ; and .to repeal . Mr. PEEL'S Bill would be to attempt a cure by the restoration of the disease. He did not think that a corn law would do any good. It was a fallacy to attri bute the depreciation of produce to importation, now that the ports had been so long .shut. In the substance of the third Resolution he most cor dially concurred. The fOurth Resolution al luded to the repeal of the malt duties : to that he had no objection : but these duties were not, the only duties which he deemed it, proper to have repealed. The distress was general,.and so also ought to be the relief.. He would include the duties on soap, candles, salt, and leather. He would not-pretend to say that the repeal of these duties would be sufficient to alleviate the distress ; but it would be sufficient to begin with. Without a total change in the system of Administration, no relief could be either permanent or effectual ; and that change could. not . be brought .about without a reform in the Commons House of Pariiament. The Noble Earl then proposed that the • following Resolu tions should be substituted for the 2d, pd, 'and: 4 - th, proposed by Mr. TIIURTELL " 2d. That the amount of public expenditure, and conse quently of public demands by direct and indirect taxation, is the plain unquestionable cause of our present sufferings; and that the only safe and practicable remedy is to be found in such a diminution of thOse demands as may enable the firmer to grow his produce are reasonable rate, and thus equally spread the benefit of its influence through every class of society throughout the ki9gdom. . . . " Bd. That the'diminution...to a very great extent capable of being instantly made, without any public detriment whatever,- by a rigid economy.enforced in every department of the state - , riAvkl, military, and civil, from the head of the executive down to the lowest offices of. Government, relieving all classes from the overwhelming burden of taxation that so heavily oppresses them, enabling landlords to lower their rents, and clergymen and impropriators their tithes, and by improving the situation of the poor, kssening the amount levied for their subsistence ; in short, reducing all the heavy and intolerable expences now incidental to the occupancy and cultivation of the soil. " 4th. That though this meeting, disavowing all selfish mo tives, and anxious only.for the general welfare and prosperity, is willing to leave to the wisdom of Parliament the particular items upon which a reduction of taxation may be best made, yet it feels that the repeal of the malt duties, together with the heavy imposts upan soap, candles, salt, and leather,. amount ing together to five millions and upwards, levied upon articles closely connected with agriculture, and ranking among the in= dispensable nscessaries o life, most especially call for - the most" attentive consideration. sth. That this meeting feels itself compelled to urge Fits resolutioni with the greater earnestness, from reflecting that six years of peace, the usual and only season in All countries fox the reduction of those burdens'which war imposes, and the nourishment pf public prosperity and individual wealth, have now passed *away, not only without producing in this country any adequate relief, but, that during this long period commerce has — languished, and agriculture declined from one degeee of depression to another, till at last it has reached a crisis, in which either, some very • important amelioration must take place, or a total derangement. of -the whole order and. relations of society must ensue." - . Lord SUFFIELD thought the evil arose entirely from taxation. They must reduce the taxation by 5,000,0001. a year, or they would do nothing. The evil, however, could not be got rid of with out a Reform in Parliament. The cultivators of the land, he was afraid, had still greater distress -to suffer. Unless they introduced a prayer for Reform into their petition, they would absolutely be doing nothing.—Mr. EDWARD TAYLOR pro posed as a Resolution, _ _ " 6th: That it appeared in the course of the last Session, from documents produced by the meritorious labours of Mr. Hume, that there as not a branch of the public expenditure, fo reign or domestic, in which retrenchments to a large amount might not be effected • but that all the propositions made by him to attain such desirable end were negatived by a large majority of the House of Commons. Therefore it is our decided conviction, that the corrupt and defective state of our representation is the true source of our present distresses ; and :that until the people are fully and fairly represented in the ,House of Parliament, no permanent or adequate relief can be "expected." Mr. TnuRTELL'S 2d, 3d, and 4th Resolutions were in favour of Lord ALBEMARLE'S ; but at the suggestion of Mr. COKE and Lord SUFFIELD, hay' the Malt Duties were asked to be repealed, in stead of the whole. The Resolution in favour of Parliamentary Reform was carried with about twelve dissentient voices only ; and a Petition, embracing the various'objects of the Resolutions, was unanimously adopted.—Mr. COKE attributed the distress to taxation ; and the only cure was a full, fair, and free representation of the people in Parliament.—Mr. Wonr.nousE said he was fully sensible that their only hope of re lief was to be found in mitigated taxation. He was aware that this declaration came rather late from a man who had advocated every measure that had• made taxation necessary. The opera tion of Mr. PEEL'S Act might be a scourge ; .but it was only the operation of retributive juts tice ; and to repeal it now would be absolute spoliation. He condemned the Agricultural Re port for its stupidity, absurdity, and chaotic con fusion of ideas. He was hostile to any measure for raising the price of corn ; and he also differed from the Resolution which expressed the neces sity for a Reform in Parliament. Thanks were voted to the High Sheriff, &c. and the Meeting broke up at five o'clock. According to a letter from Munich the-Bava rian Privy Councillor, VON BOHE.y, i charged with a special mission to Stockholm, which, it is said, relates to the approaching marriage of Prince OscA tt, son of King CHARLES JOHN, with a daughter of Prince EtTGENE, Duke of Leucl., tenberg. It would scarcely be imagined that the Com mander in Chief of the Greeks would be made the subject of a waltz ; we learn, however, from Hanover, that Ypsilanti waltzes are selling in all the music shops of that city. On Christmas-day an extraordinary spectacle was witnessed at Venice. In consequence of the high tide the square of St. Mark presented the appearance of a large basin surrounded by por ticos : gondolas were with ease rowed round it. This phenomenon has only been seen once within the memory of the oldest persons, and that was ou Christmas-day,_l794.'

The Opera was-- Nozze di-Ficraro, one of MOZART'S most beautiful and popular compositions, and, it was throughout admirably sustained by the re spective performers. AMBROGETTI, ANGRISANI,' Pl,Acct, and CAMPORESE retained' their former stations in this charming Opera, and there was a very pleasing and interesting addition in Signora CARADORI, :who on thiS occasion . made her first appearance on any stage; and never was a first ap pearance more successful. Her . part was Cherubino . (the Page).. There was . no want of that diffi dence and timidity which OrOperly,marks a juve nile performer, and on a first appearance ; but when encouraged .hy the :liberal warmth of the iaudienee, her. fears . gave way to an absorption in her character, in which she exhibited ease grace, and humour. CAMPORESE displays more 'spirit in Susanna than . she did last year ; and . .RONZI DE BEGNIS, one of I,le most beautiful women that ever graced a theatre, was ' easy, elegant, and impressive in the- Countess. A l‘f-- BROGETTI, as usual, was all spirit and humour. The Opera went off well, and there were 'several encores. Signora CARADORI is said to belong to a noble family in Germany,. ,reduced in life; whose name is' DE MoNcK, and who laudably . employs her talents f or th e a d vantage of h erself and connections. . Such a 'character is entitled to protection on the score of personal worth, as well as for abilities, which are calculated to.afford high gratification to -the public. One of the' usual divertiSetnents succeeded-. the first act Of the Opera, and was well supported by,the principal Dancers. The concluding ballet is founded on the well-known mythological story of Pandora, 'which is too well known to require any descrip tion. in this place. It was composed by Monsieur ANATOLE, the new Ballet Master, and was sup- ported by him, by Madame ANATOLE, Made moiselle ROLAND, and Mademoiselle PEactver..' These Ladies only appeared. once before in this Theatre, but they return with a high and merited reputation from Paris.—There are some devia tions frOm the original story,. but they are calcu lated to give greater effect to the piece. ALBERT, DE VARENN ES, HuLLI'N,. and other favourites, with the addition of new ones, complete a very fine Corps de Ballet. A Morning Paper has this day made a desperate attack upon the cur tain, the couches,. chairs, tables, cushions, car pets, and the whole of the 'stage furniture.— Mr. EBEIIS, who we find has resumed the ma nagement which he so successfully conducted last year, must console himself, under this liberal hostility, with the idea th a t h e has provided numerous assemblage of distinguished Performers, both for the Opera and the Dance; a considera tion of more importance to the frequenters of. this theatre than any new-furniture. that -could be supplied even by the most fashionable uphol sterer of the day: The house - sparkled_ with a numerous attendance of beautiful . and .elegant females of the higher orders ; and Fop's Alley was not without its due 'proportion of fluctniting' visitors. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER came to town on Saturday rnianing;.and after transacting business at the Treasury and the Secretary of State's Office for the Home Department, proceed ed at two o'clock to the British Museum, to at tend a meeti:ig of the Governors. After the breaking up of.the meeting, the Right Hon. Gen tleman proceeded to Blackheath.. The Right HOn. ROBERT PEEL arrived in Lon don on Thursday, from Lulvvorth Castle, Dorset shire, to receive- the appointment of Secretary of State for the Home Department, upon the rcsig nation of Lord Viscount Sinmou'rn. On Friday and Saturday the Right Hon. Gentleman trans acted business at the Secretary of State's Office for the Home Department, where he was received by Lord Viscount SIDMOUTII. A very brilliant meteor was observed on the 18th ult., at 5 A.M. in the isle of Procida, in the Bay of Naples. Mr. C. k EMBLE has been performing during the last week at Bath.

EXECUTION' OF • PETER lIEAMAN AND FRANCOIS GAIITIEZ, ..FOR..pittAcy AND MURDER.' Yesterday these two unfortunate men were executed on a platform on the Sands of Leith, within high water-mark, for the crimes of piracy and murder, pursuant to the sentence of the High Court of Admiralty.---Between eight and nine o'clock the Magistrates and their attendants pro ceeded from "the Coun c il Ch am b er , in carriages to the New Jail, where a detachment of the 3cl Dragoon Guards had arrived. About half-past nine o'clock• the great gate of the prison was thrown open, when the procession proceeded in the ftillowing order : A detachment of Cavalry. A large party of the Police. - The City Officers with their halberts. Three carriages, in the first of which were the four Dailies of the city in their robes, with white gloves, and white staves.—ln the second, were two Gentlemen in attendance on the Magis.. trates, and the Rev. Mr.. Wallace, a Roman Catholic Clergy- . man.—ln the third were the Rev.- Dr. John Campbell, one of the Ministers of the city, and the Rev. Janus Porteous, Chap lain of the jail. A cart, iith a seat on the upper end, on which the criminals sat. The whole was closed with another party of the Police, who also surrounded the cart, and a party of Dragoons. • The procession proeeeded in this manner from the jail, along the Regent Bridge, down Leith-street, Leith Walk, and Con stitutiOn-street, to . the platfo rm , w hi c h was erected at the bot tom of the street, on - the Sands; about 50 yards from the north west corner of the Naval Yard, and was guarded by a company of the 41st foot. At the bottom of Leith Walk, the Admiral, and resident Magistrates of Leith, fell into the procession im mediately after the carriage in 'which were the City :Magistrates. Immediately upon ascending the Scaffold, the 51st psalm was given out by Dr. Campbell, and sung, in which Beaman sullied to join with the utmost seriousness,while Gautiez, kneeling, was assisted in his devotions'by - the clergyman who attended him. Upon the psalm being concludekDr: Campbell addressed the spectators, in a manner the most feeling and impressive, and well adapted to the solemn and melancholy occasion. In the course of his address the Doctor observed, that he was instruct ed by Heaman to acknowledge, in the most public and unqua lified manner, his pirticipation in the crime for which he was about to suffer, - the fairness of the trial, and the justice of the sentence which had-been pronounced. Heaman then came forward, and bowing to all around him, spoke fora short time. Ile cautioned all who heard him to take a- warning from the melancholy situation to which his crimes had reduced him, to abstain from bad company, his associating with whom, and disregarding the principles and precepts of our holy religion, had been the means of bringing him to his untimely end. . Dr. Campbell then oared up a most impressive prayer, dur ing - which lleaman kneeled. , - ,_, .................„.. Dining the time that Dr. Campbell addressed the spectators, as• well as while he engaged in prayer, and during the short time that Heaman spoke, Gautiez was engaged with the clergy man who attended _him in acts of devotion, according to the forms of their religion, in which he seemed, very earnest, and which continued a short time after Dr. Campbell had concluded his_ prayer. . The devotional exercises over, which were conducted through out .with much fervour and solemnity, the unfortunate men shook hands with the Magistrates and Clergymen around them, and, moanted the fatal drop; while there, II eaman prayed - aloud .moat fervently for some time. Heaman's last words were, " Lord Jesus receive my soul." Upon pronouncing which he shook hands with Gautiez, and then drops the signal, when they were launched into eternity.' The behaviour of both the criminals was decent, resigned, and penitent. They were dressed in coloured clothes ; Beaman in a brown - jacket, and white trowsers, and Gautiez in a brown, coat. The procession moved at a slow rate down Leith Walk, and as Hearnan passed the crowds collected at the corners of the streets and lanes, and. the people at windows, he stood up un covered and bowed respectfully. Gautiez seemed absorbed in thought, and remained seated, taking little or no notice of any thing around him. He appeared weak, and for some time was supported by a man on the platform. - 'I he, crowd of spectators was immense, particularly on the Sands, beinglittle short of from forty to fifty thousand ; but, owing to the excellent manner in which every thing was ar ranged, not the slightest accident happened. . During the execution, the great bell of South Leith Church tolled.. After the unfortunate men were cut down, their bodies were conveyed, under an escort of dragoons, to Dr. Munro's class-room, for dissection, pursuant to their sentence. DAVID HUME, Esq. the Professor of Scots Law in. the University of Edinburgh, has re ceived his commission as Baron of Exchequer, in room of the late Sir JOHN STUART.
