PARLI AMENT. nousE OF LORDS, THURSDAY, JULY 11. The We,tmorelaxid and Middlesex County Rates' Bills were read a third time and passed. WALES. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he had received a notg from the Marquis of Lansdowne, informing him - -hat he wai indisposed, and requesting that he would postpone for hins the second reading of the Bill for regulating the levying of King's Silver Fines in Wales until Wednesday next. He therefore should now move that the Order of the Day be dis charged, and be fixed for Wednesday next.—Agreed to. The Cnarge of Pensions Bill, the Consolidated Fund Grow ing Produce, and the Loan Bills, were read a second time. The Scotch Register Offices' Bill went through a Committee. SCOTCH JURIES. On the motion of the Earl of LAUDERDALE the Scotch Jury Bill was read a second time, and the Committee fixed for _Monday next, with an understanding that the debate should then take place. IRISH GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS' BILL. The Earl of DONOUGIIMORE wished to know what day was to be fixed for the third reading of the Irish Grand Jury Presentment? Bill, as he had a strong objection to make against that Bill, so strong that he thought it would be impossible for the House, after hearing it, to pass the measure. In conse tiuence of the enormous expences attending Presentments in Ireland, and of the irregular and arbitrary nature of the charge., the Commons had taken the subject up, and fixed the maximum of what was to he paid for various services. Now he had no hesitation in saying that the sums fixed by the Com mons were not adequate to the services to be performed, and that those services would not be performed. He also com plained that the officers whose interests were affected by this Bill had not had sufficient notice given them of its introduction. If only three petitions had yet been presented against it by Clerks of the Crown, it was because they had not heard of it in time to petition the other House. He should thank the Noble Earl opposite if he would fix a (My for the third reading. Earl BATHURST mentioned Wednesday next, which was agreed to, after a few words from Lord HOLLAND. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from George Gibbs, Deputy Clerk of the Connaught Circuit, against the Irish Grand Jury Presentments Bill, and observed, that if the assertions of the Petitioner were correct to their full extent, it would really appear that the Bill would- make it absolutely impossible for Clerks of the Crown to discharge their duties. The Earl of RODEN begged of their Lordships to pause before they passed such a Bill. The Petition was then read and laid on the table.—Adjourned. HOLTSE OF COMMONS. At the usual hour the .SPEAK a took the Chair; but finding only 32 Members present, adjourned the House till to.niorrow. THE CORN BILL. The EARL of LAUDERDALE'S PROTEST AGAINST THE CORN IMPORTATION BILL. Because this Bill repeals the regulations as enacted by the bsth of George 111., chapter 26, whereby, after long and mi nute examination into the state of the Agriculture of the United 'Kingdom, it was by Parliament provided, as necessary to af ford to agriculture a degree of protection equal to what the law gives to other branches of industry, that wheat from abroad should not be exposed to sale till the price in our markets amounted to 80s. ; and at a time when it is admitted that fo rign wheat can be imported at 355. a quarter, it enacts that the foreign grower shall in future be admitted to a competition with our tanners when wheat iS at 70s. a quarter, on paying a duty of 17s. for the first three months, and afterwards of 12s. till it rises to 80s. Under this Bill, therefore, the farmer will not only be de prived of the monopoly he enjoyed in the home market, till .wheat attained the price of 80s. the quarter, but he will be ex posed when it is at 70s. to a competition with the foreign grower, whose wheat, value 355., may, on paying the duty of 175., be brought into our market at 525. per quarter, and after the ports have been open for three months may be sold at 475., as it will then only bear a duty of 12s. That these regulations are-ruinous to the agricultural interest cannot be doubted. The petitions on the table of this House, in the strongest terms deprecating the proposed alteration in the law, sufficiently display the opinion of those whose habits give them practical knowledge on the subject; whilst the Commit tee themselves, from whom the proposal emanated, by disclaim ing all intention of rendering worse the present condition of the British cultivation., and proposing, as the Bill enacts, that the 'ssth of the late King should remain in force till wheat rises to a quarter, have clearly avowed their opinion that the Bill, 'when it takes elfect, must prove injurious to the agricultural interest. It is to me, therefore, a subject of deep regret, when the dis tress of the British cultivator is so feelingly described in the nu merous petitions on our table, that this liouse should enact a regulation which, though it is only to take place at a future pe •siod, cannot but produce immediate discontent : for to me it appears that cverysense of political discretion, and every feel .i!lg that actuates a .gcnerous mind, must unite in pointing out, that tile moment in which the Legislature is unwillingly com pelled to avow its incapacity to devise any means of present re for the distressed farmer, is the time of all others in which it ought to avoid announcing a future injury to his despairing mind. LAUDERDALE. PROTEST AGAINST THE THIRD READING OF THE CORN BILL. "DIS3ENTIENT :—Because the Act of the 55th of the late -King, chapter 26, which is partially repealed by this Bill, was ,brought into Parliament by his Majesty's Ministers to remove the admitted impolicy of unlimited importations of foreign gre. 4 n ; and 80s. per quarter for our own wheat (and other grain •1n proportion) was with the greatest deliberation adopted as the ,lowest price in our markets which could sustain foreign compe tition' under which, therefore, it was enacted that our ports .shoittd be shut. Because, from an obvious defect in that Act, whenever wheat in our markets rose to 803. per quarter, (other grain in propor, tion), importation was left free and unlimited, by which the iprotecting.ttandard immediately ceased to be productive ; as ~oreign wheat might then generally, as .now, be imported at about 325. per quarter, and to any extent ; thereby manifestly enabling jobbers atid - speculators to undersell British growers, weighed down since the late war with a pressure of taxation .nercr before known or heard of in the world. _ &cause, this defect in the Act of the 65th of the late King soon became the subject of universal complaint, three millions ,ar: t' half quarters of, foreign grain having come free into .ogr ports, and at very low prices, before their being shut in li'ebruary,'lBl9,- to the great depression of our markets ever Because the prices of grain from this and other causes having „ceased to be remunerative, many petitions were presented to his Majesty's Ministers, and to both Houses of Parliament, pray ing for relief in this respect; and thereupon a Committee was . appointed to consider the justice of their complaints. 13ecause such Committee, as appears by its report in a for mer Session cf Parliament, having pronounced that agricul ttirists of every description were consuming their capitals without any present or expected returns which could be remu nerative, the House of Commons directed its inquiries to be re newed in the present Session, for the express anti only purpose • of originating some further relief from the ruinous depression of • our markets. Because the House of Commons, therefore, in the considera -t;en of this subject, had no other duty cast upon it by the whole course of its own proceedings but to attend impartially to the universal complaints throughout the country, which unani mously attributed the distresses to the undue and impolitic opening of the ports under the existing law, without a reason able and fixed protecting duty, not liable to be defeated by 'fraudulent averages, nor disturbed by perpetual fluctuations, when the ports were open or shut at the adopted standard. Because it was therefore with equal surprise and .regret that I read this Bill when it was brought before us, which ought to have been instantly rejected, since it passes y altogether the complaints of the petitioners, which its authors have pro fessed all along to act upon and to relieve ; and although the superabundance of supplies orer the demands on our mar kets had been declared by his Majesty's Ministers to be the grievances, yet this Bill unaccountably adds to them, without measure or mercy, by leaving the ports open at 705., though be fore shut until 80s., and by letting loose the bonded grain at the lower standard, though now in the country to agreat amount, and without any protecting duty ; because, when it is notorious that foreign wheat (other grain in proportion) may be generally imported at about 355. per quarter, a duty of 175., which, when added, amounts to 525. only, cannot, in common sense or common honesty, be considered as any security to the Bri tish grower. Because, to insist nevertheless that this injurious change in the existing law is a great advantage to those whom it pro fesses to relieve, though against their own universal voice, as expressed without a single exception by all the petitions upon our table, is to maintain an opinion, which, however honestly and ably supported, may be considered by the sufferers to be as unfounded as it appears to me to be absurd. Because, from the great preponderance in the representation of other classes over the landed interest in the (louse of Com mons, the, petitioners who have laid their calamitous condition before us naturally looked up to this House for constitutional support. The Statute Book is filled with a1m0.4 innumerable ,acts for the protection of our manufactures and commerce by duties and prohibitions, whilst the security of landed property has been wholly neglected. Indeed, when I contemplate this sudden invasion of the 5.5 th of the late King, at the very mo ment when its protecting provisions ought manifestly to have been extended, it seems to me as if a course of experiments was on foot by philosophical theorists to ascertain under what accumulated pressure of unequal taxation, and unequal compe tition with untaxed countries, the impoverished cultivators of our soil can possibly continue to exist. ERSKINE. PARLLAMENT..A.RY PAPERS. BEER AND ALE. Abstract cf the Bill f() Amending the Laws touching the Re- tail Trade in Beer and Ale. Whereas it is expedient that any person should be suffered to sell Beer and Ale by retail, so as the same shall not be drank or consumed in his or her house or premises ; Be it therefore enacted, by the King's Most Excellent Ma jesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiri tual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that from and after the day of the Commissioners of his Majesty's excise, and all such persons as they may appoint for the purpose of granting licences ; 'and all collectors and su pervisors who are authorised to grant licenses, shall, and they are hereby empowered and required, to grant licenses for selling Beer and Ale by retail, but not to be drank or consumed in the house or premises of the seller, to any person or persons apply ing for the same, upon payment of such sums of money, by way of duty for the same, as are required to be paid by any Acts now in force in that behalf, and although such person or per sons shall not produce a license or authority to keep a ,!ommon inn, alehouse, or victualling-house, granted to him, her, or them, by Justices of the Peace or Magistrates, or other coin. petent persons, and although no such license or authority shall hiive been or shall be granted.

Not to extend to the counties of Middlesex and Surrey, be fore the, day of in the year one thousand eight hundred and Persons having a right by law to sell Beer, not to be affected by this Act. PUNISHMENT OF CERTAIN OFFENCES. Abstract of a Bill to provide for the More Effectual Punish ment of Certain Otfences, by Imprisonment, with hard labour. 'Whereas it is expedient that the provisions of the Act of 53 George 111. for enabling any Court to pass upon any person convicted of felony, with benefit of clergy, or grand larceny, sentence of imprisonment with hard labour, &c. should be ex tended to certain aggravated. misdemeanours, and.-offences, be low the degree of felony ; And whereas also, it is found by experience that solitary con finement, under proper restrictions and regulations, is well cal-, ciliated to deter offenders, and to repress crime ; Be it therefore enacted, by the King's most excellent Ma jesty, by and with the consent of the Lords spiritual and tem., poral, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that from and after the whenever any person shall be convicted of any assault with intent to commit felony, or of any attempt to commit felony ; or of any misdemeanour for having re ceived stolen goods knowing them to have been stolen ; or of any assault upon• a peace officer, or upon an officer of the Customs or Excise, or upon any other officer of the reve nue, in the due discharge and execution of his or their re spective duty or duties; or of being an utterer of counterfeit money, knowing the same to be counterfeit; or of knowingly , and designedly obtaining money, goods, wares, or merchan dises, bills, bonds, or other securities for money, by false pre tences, with intent to cheat any person of the same ;_or shall he convicted of keeping a common gaming-amuse, a com mon bawdy-house, or a common ill-governed and disorderly house; or of wilful and corrupt perjury, or of subornation of perjury ; or shall be convicted of having entered any open or inciosed ground with intent there illegally to take and destroy game, and having been there found at night armed with any offensive weapon ; or shall be convicted of any of the offences against the revenue, enacted b',' an Act passed in the 19th year of the reign of his late Majesty King George the Second, in tituled, " An Act for the further punishment of persons going armed or disguised, in defiance of the laws of Customs or Ex cise, and for indemnifying offenders against those laws upon the terms in this Act mentioned, and for relief of officers of the Customs in informations upon seizures ;" in each ' and every of the above cases, and whenever any person shall be con victed of any or either of the aforesaid offences, it shall and may be lawful for the Court before which any such offender shall be convicted, or which by law is authorized to pass sen tence upon any such offender, to award and order (if they shall .think fit) sentence of imprisonment with hard labour, for any term not exceeding the term for which such Courts may now imprison for such offences, either in addition to or in lieu of any other punishment, which may now by law be indicted on any such offenders. ALIENS REGULATION BILL. CLAUSES intended to be proposed on the Third Reading of the ALIENS REGULATION BILL. And be it enacted, That nothing in the said Act contained shall be deemed or construed to extend to any Alien, being the subject of a State in amity with his Majesty, unless it shall ap pear, by information of one or more credible witnesses, or be fore one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace, who are hereby authorized to administer suci - , oath, and take such information, that such Alien is engaged, or is about to engage himself in some conspiracy or enterprize against the peace and safety of some foreig,ti State in amity with his Majesty; which info:ma-. tion shall be in writing, and be deposited in the office of one of his Majesty's PrincipaSecretaries of State. And be it further enacted, that where any Alien shall be re moved from his Majesty's dominions, by any such order or au thority as in the said Act mentioned, the mime and de, viption of such Alien, with the place from which, and the place to which, such Alien shall be so removed, shall be laid before both Houses of Parliament within one month after such re moval shall have taken place, if Parliament shall then be sitting, or within one month after the commencement of the next Ses sion of Parliament, if such removal shall have taken place during a prorogation. And be it further enacted, that if any Alien liable to be re moved under the said Act shall require a communication of the specific charge upon which he is so about to be removed, such charge shall be communicated to him in writing 24 hours before such removal takes place,' and such Alien, in the mean time, shall be at liberty to see and communicate with such persons as he may think fit, consistently with the restraint which may be necessary to prevent his escape from the messenger having the charge of removing him. The will of the late JAMES'OLDHAM OLDHAM, Esq. of Montague-place, Russell-square, whose death we announced a short time since, was proved on the 6th instant, in the Pre rogative Court of Canterbury, at Doctors' Commons, by his son Joseph Oldham, James Arundell, and Gilbert Stroud, Esquires, the three Executors. The testator's house in Mon tague-place, with all the valuable furniture, plate, and wines, together with his carriage and horses, &c. is bequeathed to his widow, Mrs. Oldham, for her life, together with a very handsome income, to enable her to support so elegant an establishment ; and, after bequeathing four thousand pounds to • each of his grandchildren, and legacies of one thou sand pounds each for the benefit of the Chapel of the late Countess of Huntingdon, at Spatields and the College at Cheshunt ; and also to several Bible and Missionary Socie ties, and other charitable institutions ; and numerous small legacies to the Trustees and Committee of the said Chapel and College ; and also to several of the Ministers who officiate at the different Chapels in that connection throughout the kingdom ; and to his domestic servants, he bequeaths the immense bulk of his personal property amongst his three sons and an only daughter, in suitable and most equitable proportions. The per sonal property alone is sworn under 400,0001., on which the im mense suns of 52501. has already been paid for Probate Duty, and to which of course the Legacy Duty on the numerous legacies when paid will form a considerable addition. Besides this immense personal estate, the testator distributes his nu.. merous mansion-houses, farms, and other freehold property in the Counties of Middlesex and Buckingham, and also his extensive premises in Holborn, which are also freehold, and his valuable Rectory of Doverdale, in Worcestershire, be tween his three sons, in most handsome allotments to each. The will bears date the 7th of December, 1821, and by it the testator particularly desires to be buried at the College, at Cheshunt, wi'.ere the ceremony of his interment accordingly took place with all due 'solemnity, on Tuesday, the second instant. A pair of the beautiful and gigantic uon-de script Elks, known by the Indians of the Upper Missouri (where they have been lately discovered) by the name of IVapetti, arrived here this morning (Tuesday, the 9th instant), on their way to London. These noble animals are the size of the horse, with immense spreading horns ; their form the most perfect model of st?ength and beauty, combining the muscular strength of the race-horse, with the lightness and agility of tie greyhound ; are capable, with ease, of drawing a carriage or carrying a person wore. than 20 miles an hour. They arc per fectly domesticated, and of the most amiable and gentle dispo sition.—(L2verpoel Advertiser.) We received this morning the Paris Papers of Tuesday. The Journal des D6bals gives the commencement of the proceedings against the persons said to be concerned in the conspiracy at Belfort, who were put on their trial before the Court of Assizes at Colmar on the Bth instant. This conspiracy, it will be recollected, was dis covered and defeated at the beginning of the pre sent year, when a similar attempt at insurrection was detected at Saumur and subdued. The num ber of persons implicated in it amounted to thirty nine, twenty of whom are now on their trial, but the other nineteen have effected their escape, and are in consequence outlawed. With the ex ception of a half-pay Colonel and two non-com missioned Officers, the other persons in custody are about or under twenty-six years of age, con sisting of Officers and non-commissioned Offi cers, or Students of Law and Medicine. There are no further accounts of the late conspiracy at Colmar. On Monday the French Chamber of Deputies did not begin the discussion on the Budget, as was expected, but continued that on the Project of Law for forming new Canals in France. Private letters from Constantinople state that the execution and sale of Greeks continue in that Callital, and that, in spite of all the representa tions of the Foreign Ambassadors to the Porte, the most cruel measures against that unfortunate people are persevered in, evidently chewing the determination of the Turks to carry into effect their avowed design of exterminating the whole nation. The Ministerial Papers of France contain, as usual, accounts of the successes obtained by the insurgents in Spain against the Government forces, but they are so exaggerated that little reliance is to be placed on them. The following are extracts : PARIS, JULY 9.—A1l the artillery of the army of the Loire, which was deposited in the arsenals of Rochefort and Rochelle, has been sent off to the Sanitary Cordon. An ordontance of the King of Sweden permits all Swedish subjects to trade with all the ports of South America, and the diminution of the Customs' Duties is to be extended to merchandize from South America imported into Sweden in Swedish vessels. M. Politika, Russian Minister to the United States, arrived 'at Paris on Saturday evening. Baron de Rothschild set out on Sunday last for St. Peters= burgh, where his presence is necessary on account cf the new loan which Russia means to raise. FRENCII FUNDS.-JULY 9. Five per Cents.

[PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.] " CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 10.—The negociations - are sus pended during the Feast of Ramadan, which will last four weeks, and will be followed by the Feast of Bairam. Thus, for some time, there will be no political events. In the mean time, the Porte appears very decided to have no change of sys tem. All the representations of the Powers have been fruitless, And the most cruel measures against the Greeks are continued. We still groan at the recollection of the late executions which terrified this capital. " It was for some time hoped that the influence of the Euro pean Governments would put an end to these cruelties, and one is astonished at the condescension of those who compose the Holy Alliance ; but they have so manifested their disinclina tion for war, that the Turkish Government smiles at all their efforts, convinced as it is that no atrocity can henceforth draw on it any serious consequences, and that war will not be resorted to for the purpose of avenging the massacre of Christians, who are every day immolated. Besides the Greeks publicly executed to serve as a spectacle to a fanatic multitude, it is stated that many others have been strangled at the Bath and in the ar senal, where a great number were imprisoned. " Thus the Diplomatic Corps at Pera have been condemned to witness all these horrors. It being decided, henceforth, to regard the Turkish Government as an ordinary Government, it is natural that all insurrection against it should be treated as rebellion, and that the punishments it inflicts should not be complained of, nowever atrocious they may be. " The European Ambassadors, either to take 'advantage of the summer, or because during the feast of Ramadan business is interrupted, have for the greater part quitted Pera. Almost all of them have set out for Bujukdere and Belgrade, or for the Isle of Princes. The French Minister, the Marquess de La tour Maubourg, set out a few days since for Tarapia, where it appears he intends to establish his residence. " Yesterday, four gun-boats, a frigate, two brigs, and a ship of the line, sailed with troops on board for the Dar danelles. The Capitan Pacha has demanded reinforcements. " On the Ist June, this Admiral was at Scio with the fleet in perfect inaction. The epidemy was achieving on board what could not be effected by the sword of the Greeks. The fleet of the latter, consisting of 150 ships, was at Ipsara. " The Government still refuses to the Genoese the Firman for the Black Sea. The English wish to annihilate that navi gation, in order to prevent Russia from having a commercial marine, she not having on this side any Russian ships with Russian crews." Nunn SIB F. RG, JULY I.—Private letters from Petersburgh, of the 14th and 16th June, contain no political news. It is re marked that the commercial letters from Petersburgh, Riga, and other places in Russia, which used to give information re specting the chief objects of the day, now entirely abstain from doing it. The letters from Warsaw, from which we hoped to obtain some details respecting the dislocation of the Russian armies, say nothing in this respect, nor relative to the reported changes in the Russian Cabinet. Letters from Berlin state the arrival of the Russian General, Demidoff; some say, that he has come with a mission, but others, that he is only travelling for his pleasure. Spanish Papers to the 27th June have arrived, from which we select the following extract : SPECIAL TRIBUNAL OF TUE CORTES. " MADRID, JUNE 24.—The sentence is now published which this Tribunal has passed on Don Pablo Fernandez tie Castro, Canon of the Metropolitan Church of St. Jago, who was Deputy to the Cortes in 1814, who with sixty-eight other Deputies, signed the Representation or Manifesto addressed to the King on the 12th of April that year, his Majesty being at Valencia. " By this sentence he is condemned to be banished for eight years to the Presido of Ceuta, where he is to be confined to the Hospital and to attend on the sick, and not to be allowed to go out of the Hospital the whole time, for which the Authorities are to be responsible. " He is immediately deprived of all honours, employments, public offices, which he may have had before the 4th of May that year, or have obtained since ; due notice shall be given o this sentence to the Archbishop of St. .Tago, imme diately to withdraw from D. P. F. De Castro the licences to perform Mass, to confess, and to preach, and to give notice as speedily as may be, through the President of the Tribunal, that he has done this ; the temporalities of De Castro shall be taken from him, and when the eight years are expired, he shall be banished from the dominions of Spain ; and he is farther condemned in all the costs of this trial." The latest accounts from Algiers state the ravages of the plague at that place to have been very dreadful ; fifty anti upwards were the average number of deaths per diem. An article of intelligence, dated Corinth, April 20, has been published in this country. It speaks, in terms of gratulation, of the provisional Con stitution established by the Deputies assembled from the various parts of Greece at Epidaurus; and presents a flattering picture of the prosperous position to which the affairs of the Greeks have attained. We sincerely rejoice at every new in dication of consistency or stability which the infant Institutions of Greece, arising out of the ruins of her former tyranny and degradation, assume. If she succeed, unaided by Russia, in ' erecting for herself, by her own heroism and sel f " devotion, a free and independent Empire, th at will be a more powerful barrier presented to the future ambitious projects of Russia, than the crazy and barbarous fabric of Turkish doming" tion, tottering under its own weight, and 0 01 1 temporarily sustained by the jealousies or th e fears of some of the European Cabinets. In t his view, the policy pursued by the Cabinet of London, though it may appear to be frigid a 5 respects the claims of humanity, and timid as regards the dreaded preponderance of Russia, IS perhaps the most judicious that could hal e been adopted ; or at least it may prove t° be the most beneficial in its results. ° a the first glance at the question, it would seen' to Le the wisest course for the British 111inistrY to aid the Greeks, at the same time that they used all their influence to prevent the interferenc e and the consequent dangerous ascendancy ° f Russia. hut, if England afforded either her di rect or covert assistance, it is evident that her i►►" fluence, not only over Russia, but over the Pnit e ' would immediately cease.—Russia would instantly march her armies to Constantinople ; and won° dispose of the conquered Empire of the Cres' cent as she might think fit. If the Greeka achieve their own independence, on the oth er hand, though they may for a time resent th e seeming indifference with which England ha s witnessed their struggles, they will retain so high a sense of the value of that freedom, w hi c h the! have bought with their blood, as to resist t he presumed encroachments of Russia with becony ing firmness and spirit. Charleston Papers arrived this morning to th e 16th June, five days later than the last arrival. PARAGUAY.-The latest intelligence from re spectable persons, states that at Paraguay they are collecting a considerable number of troops for what object is not mentioned, but different opinions are entertained : by some it is said that the Dictator is fearful of internal movements, OP' ported by a foreign Government ; by others, th at he meditates an attack upon the province Of Corcentes. At Nembuco he keeps 700 m en in quarters, and has five vessels of war. All t he the Guard de Coasts are reinforced ; every d a l that passes the Dictator augments the narrowness of his ideas, far from deciding for the freedo m of the ports, and to permit a free entry and d e ' parture to speculators. CORDOYA.-We have certain information that the Deputies who proceeded to the City of C° r : dova, to attend the Meeting of the Gene ral Congress, were preparing to depart to th eir homes, after publishing a Manifesto. The Mexican Minister ELIZALDI, who " 5 been for some time expected from that country is not now expected before July. Some chang had taken place in the int erna l concer ns of t he ,`evolutionary Government. [From the Savannah Paper of the 7th Jane.] COLONEL COMMING AND MR. M.
