Sensi bility without sense is nothing but weakness, amiable indeed, in the language of the soft-heart ed and_ effeminate, but often daMnable in its consequences , both to themselves and to their country. Perish commerce only, save our honour, may be the language of romance, or metaphysical abstraction ; but where will be the honour of a commercial nation, when once its commerce and its credit vanish ? The age of chivalry is past, together with all the romantic nonsense and ex travagant sentiment, natural only. to a half civi lized,people, upon which it is founded; the mare enlightened. we are, the more clearly we shall see that we are not tit to breathe the pure nether of Platonic perfection and refinement, but the common atmosphere, more adapted to our real state, where there is not only the oxygen, but the other airs which constitute vitality. Notwith= standing this our state, which appears to some so exhausted as scarcely to have any breath left, though we may not be able now to soar so high' as these Don Quixotes in humanity would per. suade us, or as we might have done before this period of exhaustion, still we are able to do something, though not all that we could wish.; or when we cannot act, there is such a thing as good will, which is well worth the purchase, : if we .can offer nothing else. " England has long been the Areopagus of mankind, and her career for the last quarter of a century, however we • may differ in the policy which has sustained it; all must agree, has raised yet higher her pre eminence in the scale of nations. Let us not now for the first time incur the heavy charge of mis leading the opinion.of onr specks. Since taking . up arms against th e Gr ee k s was a s muc h out of the question as arming in their favour, we have already sided as actively as we could against them, by that sullen silence, which, in a nation enjoying a perfect immunity .to speak and print, is tantamount to condemnation."

[From the Irishman.] This dinner Was given on Wed nes d a y l ast, in the Commercial-buildings, Belfast, to "the Noble Marquis, as a tri bute . - . to the domestic virtues which.distinguish that Nobleman, and the house of which he is the head ; and painful indeed it is to us to be obliged to state, that any ill-advised and impru:. dent proposition should have been this day acted upon by those whose duty it was, to ascertain and defer to the feelings of the great majority who were about to pay. the Marquis of Donegal so high and distinguished a compliment as q public dinner. The object of this dinner was purely and entirely domestic--not to avoid all topics, therefore, which might pos sibly put to hazard the harmony of two' hundred and fifty in dividuals, must be consider e d b y every reasonable mind as the excess of imprudence. We flattered ourselves that the wisdom of the stewards (twenty-one in number) would have protect ed, a so " large company against such a scene of tumult and uproar as we were obliged to• witness on Wednesday evening. We thought that the discretion of the Marquis of Donegal would have gained strength by such an accession of prudence as such a ComMittee of Stewards could bring to him ; but, unfortu xately, a more evil star was in the ascendant, and a night which should have been distinguished by its harmony and good hu mour and sociability, was ,closed in the most furious and astounding clamour and turbulence and violence which ever disgraced a public assembly. . Mr. Cunningham Gregg presided : the Marquis of Donegal on his right, with Mr. Verner, and Lord Spencer Chichester, and Sir Stephen May on his left. After the cloth was taken away, the Chairman proceeded to give the toasts. The first toast was the King, drank four times four--then the Duke of York, and the aroiy—the Duke of Cla rence, and the Na v y — t h en f o ll owed the health of the noble guest, the Marquis of Donegal. The applause with which this toast was drank - must have been most grateful to the feelings of the Noble Lord. The Noble Marquis rose under evident embarrassment, and in the strongest terms expressed his grati tude for the honour conferred upon him, and for that distin guished mark of attachment shewn on this day to himself anti his family, by as independent a body of men as could be found in any part of the British Empire. He felt himself quite inade quate to give expression to his feeling,* but sure he was t h at whatever power or oppo r t un i ty h e enjoyed to render services to the people of Belfast, and to all those who reside on his estates, he had always exerted aid seized to. promote their interest and happiness. He - hoped that all his family were influenced by the same feelings, and to li s posterity he would enjoin it as one of the most important duti q, to cherish that kind sentiment which so happily exists bet en him and those he had then the honour to address. In this strain the Noble Marquis con cluded an address, which w4s received with the greatest en thusiasni. The next toast was, the Marchioness of Donegal, and the House of Chichester. Lord Spencer Chichester rose, and re turned thanks for the honour conferred on his mother and fa mily, _ ____ evl t ' per q' s per q t. • qr. r to 4 1 Z il 175 - SI 15s 1 0 109 i (l i ;1 15' 0 FOR CORNS, BUNIONS, &c • MORRIS'S ROYAL BRUNSWICK CORN PLASTER, prepared from a Receipt belong ing to her late Majesty.

The Total Niimber of Enumeration Returns received was 10,819; four hundred and sixty-five of which did not contain any answer to . the question concerning the Ages of Persons. EXECUTION.—OR Saturday last was executed, on the lodge of our county gaol, Samuel Barrett, aged 31, con , victed at our last assizes of stealing three horses, the property of Richard Hooper, of St. George's. Since his condemnation, it is satisfactory to be enabled to state that his behaviour was very proper and becoming his awful situation. He received every attention from the Rev. Chaplain, and by the penitence he evinced, sh owe d t h at h e h a d made adue use of those conso lations which religion held out to him. On Saturday, after re ceiving the Holy Sacrament, he was conducted to the scaffold, about 12 o'clock, and havin g b r i e fl y ex h orte d t h e people to take warning by his disgraceful fate, was launched int:), eternity, in the presence of an immense concourse of spectators. We would fain hope that this warning may take effect upon his guilty companions, though he" afforded in his own person a me lancholy proof of the insufficiency of these dreadful examples of the law to deter the hardened offender from the repeated com mission of crimes denounced as capital by our existing code. The subject of this notice was from the neighbourhood of St. George's, where we fear there are many more of equal depravity. About seven years ago he was sentenced to be transported for stealing two donkies from Bradbury, Wilts, and having served five years and three months on board the hulks, the re mainder of his term was remitted,and he was discharged in Jan. 1820. He immediately returned to his old companions, and was in close connexion with a most notorious set of horse-stealers and housebreakers, of whose proceedings he has given an accu rate account. Since the penod of his discharge, it appears that he has been actually a party in stealing no less than thirty five horses from various parts of the country, which were dis posed of at Smithfield, Brighton, Bristol, and other places; and he was one of the persons concerned in the robbery of Mr. Godfrey's house, at Bitton, a few months ago. Some of the property has been recovered, in consequence of his confes sift ; and we would give a more minute detail of his nefarious - transactions, but that we might thereby defeat the ends of justice with regard to his equally guilty associates.—(Glouces ter Journal.) r Lord Belfast" was then given. On which Mr. Verner re turned thanks for his Lordship, who, he said, did not rece i ve information of that di nner in sufficienti time to enable him to attend. On Lord Edivard Chichester's health being given, Sir S. May returned thanks for his Lordship in an excellent speech.._. It seems an audacious tissue, oflibels on the Marquis and Mar chioness of Donegal were industriously circulated among all the Ambers- of both HouSes at, the tinie th e Marriage Amendment Act was pending.. Sir Stephen May saw, these libels, and he called upon Mr. Arthur Chichester, the suppoNe4 heir-at-law, to say whether he gave.his sanction to their circula ' tion ? _To this Mr. Chi c h ester repl i ed in the negative. It shoved his good sense to send back such a reply, for we could' tell him what would have been the consequence if he had been . so unwise as to acknowledge even any acquaintance with the author. = Lord DONEG.tL then rose, and after a few wordS in praise of the character of his friend, the late Marquis of Londonderry, he concluded by proposing his Memory. • 3.1 r LAWLESS rose, and standing' up on the table in order to address the assembly more effectually, he called the attention' of the Chair for a few moments., Tremendous cries of "Down, doWn !—No, no !—Yes, yes !•:--Out, out !—Go on go on !—Let him be heard !" run g froni all quarters. T , he Stewards flew from their seat s t o remonstrate with Mr.Lawless-:•-to entreat him to sit down, and to suffer the toast to be drank. The Chairman quitted the chair, and; we understand, was about to leave the room, until called back by some friends. Ile then rushed on the table where Mr. Lawless was standing, and told him, in a tone rather imperative, to sit down. This, however, was not So easily achieved, for Mr. Lawless continued to stand until he understood, from Mr. Cunningham Gregg 'that he would resume the Chair, addreSs the assembly, and then give to Mr. Lawless an opportunity to reply. Mr. Gregg retired to the chair, and after consulting with his friends, passed to another toast—" Lord Ellenborough." While Mr. Lawless was. standing on the table, die noise, and uproar, and violence with which he was assailed were indescrib able, and the reader will not forget that the champaign bad not made its usual haYoc on the intellects of the company at this early hour. At the time the Marquis of Londonderry's memory was propoSed, all were sober and collected, and therefore what was done was the result of reflection and thought. No doubt, some individuals may have drank the toast, but die great ma jority buried it in groans, hisses, and every species of hos tility. We are informed that at Mr.' Batt's table the greater portion tu r n e d d own t h e i r glasses. It is most painful to be obliged to set down such a. scene as this, and parti cularly so after the efforts that were made to prevent its existence. The reader will : be surprised to learn, that after a discussion of two days by the Committee - of Stewards on the propriety and prudence of giving the memory of the late unfortunate Marquis of Londonderry, that it was decided, the toast should not be given by the Chair—that it should not be in the list of toasts—and yet the necessity of the same discretion which caused this determination might have been urged on the mind of the Noble Marquis by that Commit tee, and thus have saved that Noble Lord from the pain which he must haye experienced on witnessing the effects of the toast. Perhaps in the history of any public meetings there never was an instance where the Chair refuSed one of the company the power of delivering, his sentiments on any of the toasts that were proposed. Mr. Lawless claimed the right to be heard on the subject of the toast given by Lord Donegal; and Mr. Con ningharn Gregg joins a little confederacy to prevent him; and will Mr. Gregg have the confidence to say that Mr. Lawless had not - as good a right to deliver his sentiments as Mr. Gregg himself ? and that every man in that assembly had not an equal right ? Had Mr. Gregg done his duty as he ought, every man decorously calling the attention of the Chair should be heard. Mr. Gregg ruled it otherwise, and confusion, and riot, and vul gar denunciations were the natural result. After this disgraceful scene was over, the champaign and claret completed the work of disorder and confusion. We un derstand some individuals were carried away in a state of ex cessive intoxication. Let the example of this day, however, be a lesson to all future managerS of public entertainments in Ire land, not to be giving toasts which recal those recollections, which for the sake of national peace, should be buried in ever. lasting oblivion. A CUCKOO FOUND.—The cuckoo is a bird so well known that it requires little description. It has never been fully ascertained whether it sleeps under gromnd or hides in the hollow of tree s t h roug h out t h e w i nter, or whether it. be an emigrant to warmer climates.' The subject of the present article induces the writer to believe that the cuckdo remains with us dur ing the winter. The event occurred near Portaferry, in the county of Down. A farmer, of the name of JOHN THOMPSQN, of the townl4nd of Ratallow, having his men employed to clearaway the back of an old ditch, bordering upon a rabbit burrow, found a cuckoo incloSed in furze and fog. When tossed out by the spade it appeared like a small truss of hay, but when opened out, and exposed to the action of the air and to the heat of the sun, it diScoyered symptoms of life, and made some struggles to get on his feet, and almost instantly afteiWards flew off with rapidity. This occurred in that time of the year just ap proaching to this songster's, season, viz. illarch.—(Dubtin Journal.) [Continzted from y's SUN .] We take delight in continuing our extracts, and making our remarks upon Mr. Sheridan's pamphlet, on account of the temper which it dis plays, as much as on account of its argument in the Cause of Humanity... His object is not to send us forth upon a Crusade for the liberation of the Greeks, or to fight the battles of those brave men who seem so able to fight for them selves;. for if the last accounts can be depended upon, they have already fought with much bravery, on the very£ spot where their ancestors acqUired such immortal glory, and appear to have left, their spirits for the inspiration of posterity. On such a spot, and in such a country, now that the spirit of freedom is once roused, it may safely be left to its own exertions. All that our author strives for, is to excite an interest in John Bull for a brave people like the Greeks, who, in their natural struggle for every thing that is dear to man, are likely to be " visited by all the horrors of famine." All that he proposes is a public Sub scription, not for the purchase of arms, or for any other purpose that might allow the crafty politician to save his .purse by a plea of con science, but simply to rescue a gallant people from the horrors of sickness and famine, which mutually promote each other, and are the more tremendous as the supplies of the Greeks may be likely to be intercepted, and though they have many medical Men, they are without me dicines, or the means of proouring them. John Bull, he says, has been accused, but without foundation, of apathy, both to the call of freedom and the cries of distress. - He is sure that John Bull is as warm-hearted as ever in the cause of both ; which he has lately proved in the instance of charity to his sister, and in the pa. triotism he has displayed in the last Sessions of Parliament. But yet, he says, there are some reasons why that warm-heartedness is not left to its full play, and proceeds to enumerate several causes, one of which we shall presume to put the first, though the author does not, and because we conceive it so intimately connected with the general intro duction, viz. " the language of the partizans" of the Greeks. We have already seen a specimen of its tone, from some of the most renowned among them. The very, idea of exterminating a whole people 'in the cause of humanity, is a paradox and though that people should be Turks and In fidels, no Christians, in the present day of light and toleration, will ever think the cause of the Father in Heaven promoted by the blood and slaughter of his children. For children he still calls them, though they do not happen to exist within the pale of his orthodoxy. . The politician, indeed, might feel. an alarm, as he is generally sensitive to every the least ap pearance of evil, which he constantly defines to be whatever is opposite to his own particular designs, and unfortunately-- "The language of the partizans (33) of Greece was ~calculated to confirm the idea that compassion for the Greeks implied disapprobation of our own Government,. and that every man who put his name on the list of subscribers, signied 8 specks of ramonstrance to the English Ministry: No inculpation upon the English Government is thus implied, nor can brany just reasoning be involved. Our Government has done precisely what on similar occasions it ought always to do. International law is necessarily a question not of feeling, but of calculation. In assisting the Spanish Patriots, Ministers acted more from speculation than enthusiasm; they spent money to promote the interests of England, not merely to advance the happiness of Spain. Political selfishness is an official virtue, and absolutely necessary in men who are responsible only for the happiness of their own country. When I look back on our twenty years' warfare, on the inveterate perseverance with which the Minister forced foes of millions into the legal and regal hands of atiVocates almost reluctant to plead for the Bourbons Buonaparte ; when I consider how he bribed them to fight their own battles, and how bravely they bore defeat, in hopes that on the cause being ordered for a second hearing, they would get fresh retainers ; I rejoice that Ministers have adhered to a strict and stern neutrality in the struggle which is now desolat ing Turkey. 'While she is our Ally, her insurgent subjects must be rebels, till success has stamped them Patriots." Humanity no doubt shudders at the enormous atrocities committed by the Infidels against Christians, and truth revolts naturally at the in numerable errors from which such atrocities spring : but as truth is not to be spoken, so neither is it to be defended, at all times. Silence may sometimes promote, when the mast consummate eloquence would but retard, its progress. The Vis-Inertice 'which we all have, more or less by nature, has often been thought a wise provision of Providence to keep us out of mischief. To know when to be silent, or merely passive, is one of the mysteries of human policy ; and though honesty is reckoned the best policy, we should not always be fond of obtruding it. It is the shortest line, as every right line is between two points ; but the art of modern times is to find the round about way the nearest home. This at least is certain, that there are season's when we Must stop'our ears to the cries of humanity itself. To be generous we 'must be just, and pay our own debts before we can venture to pay the del* of - others. To use the old and hoMely adage—" We must not rob Peter to pay Paul." Will not our creditors cry shame upon us, if instead' of trying all we can to redeem our debt, we are plunging into debt more and more, and do a .certain injury to those who are near to us, whOM we know, and who are in our confidence, for the sake of an uncertain benefit to strangers in a far distant land, whom we neither know nor ever yet have trusted? Once disincumbered of our load, we might spring forth with as much elasticity as our hearts could wish, to promote the Fe' 1-D r r I°s 6 30.

[From the Franklin Gazette.] On the 4th of July, at the celebration of Ame rican independence, in Nashville, Tennessee, Governor CARROLL delivered to general Jack son a sword, in testimony of the State's appro bation of his conduct, with the following address : " Major-General Andrew Jackson,. By a resolution of the General Assembly of this State, at :s session of 1819, the Governor was directed 4 to procure and deliver to you a sword, with suitable engravings thereon, as a testimonial of the high respect entertained by the State of Ten nessee for your public services.' " In obedience to, that resolution, this sword has been pro cured, and I am happy to have the opportunity of presenting it to you on a day which must excite in your breast so many pleasing recollections. You gave your youthful exertions to the establishment of that independence whose declaration we now celebrate. To its perpetuation you contributed in riper years, by those splendid achievements during the late war which have ' filled the measure o f your country ' s glory. ' •, " Accept, Sir, this evidence of the gratitude of Tennessee. With it I tender you my best wishes for the duration of your healthluad happiness. In these wishes I know lam cordially joined by our fellow-citizens of the State." To which the General replied-- " When 1 look around me, and behold many of th ose pa . triot soldiers, descend a nt s o f the immortal herOes who achieved that national independence we this day celebrate, and who, when the tocsin of alarm and war was sounded in 1812, volun tarily repaired to the tented field, in defence of their country, with the determination either to preserve inviolate those ines timable rights, or perish in the attempt, 1 am inspired with feelings more easily to be imagined than expressed. " It was on the military prowess of these brave and patriotic men and their associates in arms, that the safety and defence of the country, as well as my military fame, rested ; and they most nobly supported both. As a testimonial, then, of the ap probation of my fellow-citizens of Tennessee, for my public ser vices, and the services of those gallant and meritorious officers and men who so effectually seconded my exertions in the de fence of our frontier borders throughout the late British and Indian wars, I receive with pleasure and gratitude this sword, which has been prepared agreeably to the resolution of the le gislature of this State, and presented by your Excellency. "It is these brave officers and men, associated with me. in ~ those trying scenes, and who ‘so well supported the reputation of their revolutionary fathers, that most deserve their country's ! i approbation and warmest gratitude ; it is their h ero i c exploits, as we as my public s erv i ces , t h e reso l ut i on of the legislature in ten sto approve ; and as such I receive with additional feelings of the sincerest pleasure that testimonial, so freely bestowed on both them and me by my fellow-citizens. " That I, the huinble instrument in the hand of Diiine Pro vidence, should have been the means of deliverance to our from, ticr, borders from savage cruelty, and New Orleans, the empo rium of the west, from the ravages and pollution of a British army, is one of the greatest blessings Heaven can bestow ; and that I should have been able, . through all these difficulties anti trying scenes, so to conduct myself as to deserve and obtain the approbation of my fellow-citizens of Tennessee, as expresseo by the resolution of their legislature, will be to Me one of the most pleasing recollections of my future existence. " When I review the disinterested patriotism displayed by the voluntary tender of the military services of the brave Ten- . • nesseeans, during the whole British and Indian war, it'excites ' in me mingled feelings of pleasure and pride. Their proffered services contained no constitutional scruples ; were confined by . • , no territorial limits ; the order of their government for dismissal was the only limit to their services: This holy zeal with which the bosoms of the brave volunteers was fired, ought to be . fos tered and cherished, not damped, by the government; if is. this zeal alone that can defend and preserve the liberties.of our• couhtry, and perpetuate the existence of our happy :form. 01 -.- government. '- . ±i " 1 thank you, Sir, most sincerely, for the g oa d wishes yam;; offer for my health and happiness. I cannot conclude without first invoking a similar blessing in your behalf ; and that the prosperity of the state of Tennessee, over which you preside, may be commensurate with the courage and patriotism of its citizens, is, and ever will be, the first wish of my heart."
