SUN of Saturday.) - . • The mOnument- erected by the !inhabitants of Olbiopolis to the memory of 'rheocles exhibits one of the most valuable specimens of the Greek lau ,. guage, in use during the first century of our era in. Little Tartary, in regions which now con tain so different a population. We transcribe here some passaget . .of ,the inscription, translated from the literal version , of M. Raoul Rochette. "'There is no one," says . the Learned Editor, " who will not, after reading the beautiful con " cluding „words of this decree, corictive.a high " idea, of the character of a pepple so sefisibte of " benefits conferred; .and so grateful for services 4 ,‘ rendered:" , :. I.7nder the Archonship of.Theocles, son of Satyrtif, , , Archon for the 14th time, and of. his colleagues, on' the 15th of the month l3oedromion, the General Assembly having met; on the proposition of Antiphon son of Anixemenes, the Archons de creed :—Whereas Theo Les, son of Satyrus worthily supported the dignity ofhis ancestors, and has mani fested, like them, his liberality and his attachment to the State; and that, by the mildness of his manners, the goodness of. his character, and his undeviating kindness in all instances, and towards all persons, as well as by his moderation; his filial affection for his country, and'his hospitality towards the Greeks, he has enabled this town ,to return the services she has receiv ed . . . . Whereas also, that in the various offices he has held, in his priesthood, in his military command, and in all his religi ous functions; he has generously and constantly dedicated him self to the service pf . his country, conducting himself in a mild, affable, and equal manner towards every person, and scrupu: lously performing all his duties ; and that after having filled four times the office of supreme Magistrate, as it becomes men like him to do, invariably rendering his authority agreeable to all, behaving towards his equals in years as a brother, towards theoged as a son, and with children as a father, in one word, endowed with every virtue,--he has been carried off by a jea lous fate before he had completed the year of his magistracy : to all these titles, the citizens of Olbiopolis to express their grief at the loss of so worthy a Magistrate . . . resolve that his statue, armed for battle, should be erected, at the public expence, in the gymnasium constructed under his direction; and that this decree, engraved on a column of White marble, should be placed in the most conspicuotts part of the town, (in order that all the world may learn to know a man of such approved courage and virtue)—a man who was the protector of his fellow-citizens, and the benefactor of strangers,—and that it may, operate as an encoutagement to those who, like him; shall cherish and serve this State. This . inscription, as, well as another at page 204 very imperfect, and the restoration of which does honour to the learning and ingenuity of .M. Raoul-Rochette, is ibeautiful and affecting. It is not, however, so much by a cursory perusal of these ancient monuments that we can derive in— struction from them, as by the reflections to which.they giVe birth, and the researches lovers: of science are enabled .through them to prosecute successfully. Many persons, utiac quainted with philological studies, will not easily comprehend the use that may be made of the eulogium of a magistrate engraved on a stone, or of a few Greek verses; expressing the grief of a _disconsolate mother weeping over her dead in fant. These .-persons are not aware that our knowledge of classic languages is as. imperfect as our knowledge: ..of ancient history. The works which contain the .conversational language of the ancients have reached us; at the most, in the pro portion only of ten out of a thousand ; we know not half the words of which were cOmposed at a certain period, the numerous dialects of Greece; and lastly, if we may be permitted to enter into details which may appear too minute, important as they become when:the : elements o.f a language are in question, we could shew that we have Scarcely . even an idea - of th4 . l4stem of ortho graphy adopted at, Athens in the time of Plato, or of that which was followed• at Rome in the time of Cxsar. A part at least of these blanks may he supplied by the study of inscriptions; . and by no other meats. But to derive the greAest possible information from these curious rnonu-: meats, which so many active and wisely directed researches daily.discoveramid the ddst of ruins, - .and to throw a true . light on the obscurity . of antient times, we should possess not only erudi tion, and a profound knowledge of tht4;:'Classic languages, but also a sound judgment; 'luminous and correct critical powers, and that sort of mind, so rarely to be found, which observes, aria-' lyses and compares facts, which CAtii. extract new truths, and deduce useful ..applications from them. This assemblage _Of .qualities appears to be united in.M..Raoul-Rochette, - arid .we are joiced that he has not confined-his labotirs to a mere description of the marbles 'receidly disco vered in Taurida. Hi first gives: us the original Greek as communicated to him : he then annexes to it a FrenCh translation ; but each inscription is .to him, properly speaking, only the text, whilst the considerations of every description which arise out of it, and which are as it were its commentary,' form the main body, and in fact the principal merit of the work. • Thus,. we are enabled to . point out to those who take some in-. terest in antient geography a series of obServa tions (pp. 84' et seq.) on different nations who. formerly inhabited the tracts of country to the north and the west of the Euxine. Dionysius getes, Ptolemy, Scylax, Straboi and Stephen. of Byzantium often mention them; but the' text of these authorities was so imperfect, and had been: so corrupted,' that up to the present moment the most tkilful interpreters have regarded it as nearly unintelligible. We owe its complete re storation and explication to corrections, equally ingeniods and probable; which we regret we cannot transcribe here. The learned are not the only persons who will peruse with interest a dis-i sertation on the countermarkt (p. 80.) sometimes placed en ancient medals; another (p. 20.) on the divine honours paid by the inhabitants of Olbia to Achilles, Chief or Protector of the ' Bridge (HONTAMI); lastly, a curious digres sion on a Divinity 'peculiar to the Grco-Scy- . thians of the Bosphorus, called Achaicaurus, re specting whom M. Raoul-Rochette explains or corrects several passages of Strabo, Lucian, and Diogenes Laertius, which have hitherto been rather obscure. Many passages skilfully brought PR ICk, S2i :I,IN-PEy Mt. tOgether and. explairted,(p.'7l.l,Aewiliat violent operatiOns on the clrculatlngcndiurn of a country which our' Own annals and those of other moderii. nations !;() frequentiy exhibit,' were not uuktiown to nations of high antiquity. Leucod, .6r Bosphorus, being in want of money, called ilt ail the coin in circulation througlcouf his" 'i:ornitsions, and immediately re-stamped it, araking a pieee which was worth one drachma afterwards:pas!4 for tztoui by Whipli means he obtained a supply equal to One half of the current valye of the pieces thus newly stamped. If is woethy 'Of re mark that notwithstanding this .4ngular Esca.i operation, related in a plainsinipke Manner, with out any connnent, by Doty s nus io.hls Sfratogernj, the Greeks were so, habituated to violent sures on the part' of their rulers; not oil that acCount the less esteemed by "his cOntitrymen as a very Moderate and wise Prince. Several medals have been n worit; for the first time. Among them IS a medal of this same King I.eticono). 60.),'0f whom We have just spoken ; three' fned,ilSof sCilurns; of the Scythians"(p. 95.) who, contended for some time against the poWer of the great Mithridates, and which medals form :quite a neW branCik numismatics ;. three (p. 120 and l 36) of Ithescu poris, a coteroporary of Augnst,Ds ; two (p. 126.) of Cotys the Aspuritan,.brollierof . gheKuporis and many others:the 'enumeration of which would occupy. too much space,' We cannot conclpde . without e x pressing our opiniOn that this work o,r M. itaOul-Aochette' is one of the most the' best conceived; and the 'incist instructive which has been published on the Subject of Greed Antiquities. The Late MARQUIS of LONDONDERRY.i We have already stated th'at the remains of tlia lamented Marquis will be interred to-morroW by the side df -those of hiS . friend the immortal Pitt 4 ih Westminster Abbey.

At any period the loss of such a man would have been felt ; but on • the eve of a great European negociation, itis a blow which, mtist suspend, for the time, the t?tarch of affairs. The Tirade/ice and diponiaticskill of 8o experienced a Minister ars not the only . ua lities which rendes the consequences of that loss incalculable: tfl 'Marquis of LondbneleiTy was person all Y esteemed, approved, and loved hy.the-mosfpoWerful Sovereigns of Europe, to whose inti macy he had been admitted. This made him 4 kind of cencilia tory PoWer, and in some measure a Mediator between all th.. Courts, principally when the Monarchs had personal re-unions. —He 'was at Once the N,estot and the Ulysses of Congresses; the gentleness of his .word powerfully aided the depth 4nti intelligence Of his combinations. May 'We, after ibis loss, still•hopeffor pionipt and decisive results from a Cc'rgress ; The Continent possesses great Ministers and wise Trzinces ; but where shall now be found a mediator between the nccus garilY‘liVerging interests of States ? Who . will be able to bring to such an office, so many personal advantages, together with so much political information ? 'Who will represent England, whose influence could alone counterbalance that of' 'Russia ? Who will'Undertake the task of defending the resolutions of • the Congresg before the British Senate ? ln England, the death of one of the principal members of the Ministrydwill, ne deypt, prodtree a great sensation ; but the Ministry will not be so deeply shaken as many persons may wish. Lord . Liverlioo/ and Mt.

LEGISLATURE OF ST. KITT'S. At a. meeting of the Legislature of St. Kitt's, on the 7th June, the following Petition to his Majesty in Council, in behalf of that Cofbny, was voted by the two Houses : TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL. " THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE 804,11.0 OF COUNCIL, AND HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, CF THE ISLAND OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER. " Sheweth—That this year Majesty's ancient and loyal lony is plunged by the concurrent disasters oftbe times, and by an unequal share of misfortune, in the deepest distress. "That your Majesty's dutiful and loyal Petitioners have repeatedly presumed to lay itt the foot of the Throne the sad detail of their sufferings and have, from time to time, submit ted to your Majesty's dovernment such practical measures of alleviation as the relative situation of the mother country and this colony seemed to justify. " That your Majesty's Petitioners have ever had the firmest reliance upon your Majesty's paternal solicitude for the welfare of every part of the empire. . " That your Majesty's Petitioners instantly recognized thiS solicitude in the measures which have been submitted to the- Parliament of Great Britain, for perinitting an intercourse be tween these colonies and the ports of katrope and America. — measures inadequate indeed to the extremity of existing wants; but (if accompanied, as the actual relations between the mother country and your Majesty's West India colonies de, mand, by a reservation of the exclusive right to supply the home market with the staple produce of these colonies), be• stowing perhaps all the advantages which the distresses of the mother country can afford. " That your Majesty's Petitioners received the intelligence Of the proposed benefit with the deepest sense of gratitude. " That your Majesty's Petitioners have learned with propor tionate dismay that this benefits not to be immediately ex tended to this colony. " That this exclusion, conveying to other more favoured islands (some of which do not bear, as this colony does, the par tial imposts of 41 per cent. on all exported produce), the boon which your Majesty's Petitioners had vainly considered as in tended for them also, is a direct aggravation of the evils which oppress them, inasmuch as the supplies of the foreign markets in this immediate vicinity, which are now at a fearful cost in deed, to be procured, will be limited, or transferred to the more remote British free ports. " That as the head of an important Government—distin guished by its unvarying loyalty and attachment to the Mo narch, and impoverished by the visitation of adverse ele ments, and by the general causes which depreciate the value of West Indian produce—this colony is humbly re presented to your Majesty as having at least an equal tole with any other (and, if misfortune may be allowed to give it, a better title than any other) to be admitted to a participation of the advantages which the new system proposes. " Your Majesty's Petitioners therefore most humbly pray, that your Majesty would be most graciously pleased to extend to this suffering and exhausted island those advantages, of which the immediate enjoyment can alone avert its utter ruin, according to the power reserved to your Majesty in Council by the provision of the Acts of Parliament that may in such case be made and provided. " And your Majesty's Petitioners will ever pray." THE ARMY. The undermentioned change of Quarters of the Foot Guards is ordered to take place on the 20th instant: — The 2d Battalion of the Grenadier Guards to remove from the King's Mews Barracks to the Tower of London.

The 3d Battalion of the Grenadier Guards will arrive at Paddington, from Dublin, on the 21st instant, and are ordered to occupy the Barracks at Knightsbridge. - The Commander of the Forces in Scotland has intimated that it is his Majesty's intention to review, next week, on Porto Bello Sands, the 3d and 7th Dragoon Guards, the Scots Greys, and seven Regiments of Yeomanry Cavalry. Major Cleveland's company of Royal Artillery, from Jersey, is under orders to relieve the company of Artillery at present stationed at Jamaica, and a company from - Woolwich is or dered to relieve that at Barbadoes.

The following is in extract" hon . : a letter from an Officer of his ship Pyramus, dated Freeman's Bay, Antigua, 4th July 1822 : _ We have little news here ; The old Islands are in a wretch. ed state; the crops in this Island and Barbadoes not being more than one-third of an average crop. Most of the estates are deeply mortgaged, and so few of the planters are able to pay the interest, that many of the finest estates are advertised for sale, which in the present scarcity of money, must be sold at a great loss. The Bill pending in Parliament, for open ing the ports to the United States, it is thought will be very beneficial ; but nothing but rain, which is much wanted, t-nd good crops, can effectually relieve them. The middle of this month the Pyramus goes to Trinidad; the, Xsit to Bermuda ; and the' Surinam to Trinidad and Demerara. These are the only ships now on the Windward station. Captain Godfrey re turns to dre Surinam; Capt. Walcot, of the Carnation, to the Tyne, posted from home; Capt Herbert from the Icarus; to the Carnation ; and Capt. Charles Crole quits the Surinam, and is confirmed to the Icarus. This ship is now very healthy, hav ing only four men at the hospital." . The Ganges, 84, Capt. F. A.
