ITE ONDON SzirtoTs FROM Tll DIIY 10111SliNg' PAITRS, _ , . 'June 26, '1822; [MORNING POST:j . discussion of considerable length took place in the House of Commons last night on the mo• tion of Mr. Abercrombie for a Committee to inquire into the alleged connection of the Lord Advocate with a part of the Press of Scotland. — Some of the charges advanced against the Learned Lord he solemnly denied, and the other circum stances imputed to him he explarned in such a manner as to spew the rectitude of his intentions where_ he was reallysoncerned, and his total un acquaintance with whatever might have occurred of a censurable description. We have neither space nor time to- recapitulate the facts:of this case ; but the- speeches of Mr. 'Secretary. Peel and 3.erd Londonderry, to which we beg leave to refer our readers, develope the whole in a very satisfactory rminner. The state of, ome parts of Scotland was at the timehighly alarming, which the efforts of the seditious writers were every day ren dering more fearful. It was upon the painful knowledge of these facts, and at the solicitation of many Gentlemen of the highest respectability, whose lives and property were inimediate.ly menaced, that the Lord' Advocate lent .his sanction to the Clydesdale foul-7yd. He did so, however, under the sincerest conviction that the Paper would be lig,itimately 'employed in defence of the Laws and Constitution ; and on the whole the motives of the Learned Lord in this respect were not only above suspicion, but entitled to the praise of every good and loyal man. It is by the state of Scotland at the period in question, that he ought to be judged, nor could he be im partially dealt with on any other grounds :- 44 When bad men conspire, good men must unite," for the common safety. Mr. Abercrombie's mo tion was lost by a majority of 120 to' 95. [MORNING CIIRONICLE.] The honour of the Lord-Advocate anti his worthy Coadjutor have been gloriously esta blished by the vote of last night, and he may return to Scotland when he pleased to enjoy his laurels. In a House of Commons, the impar tiality of which in all cases between Ministry and their opponents was so beautifully demon strated. on Monday evening - by Mr. Brougham, he obtained a majority of . no fewer than 25, where 215 were present. One- hundred and twenty Members. came : boldly forward to white wash the Learned Lord, without, of course, soil ing themselves by the operation. These 120 are no doubt the flower of the Ministerial army— placemen, and the most devoted of the expectant phalanx. The latter have proved themselves Steady fire-prOof combatants, men ,not easily to be disconcerted, and who justly may be counted on in the-hour of trouble. Their names must not,be lost to the country. We had some mis givings as to the_ courage Ministers themselves would display ip this emergency. We knew, in deed, that they had expressed no disapprobation of the proceedings in Scotland, but a is one thing to express disapprobation of proceedings, and another to mix themselves up with them. Our doubts, however, have been gloriously removed. After this it will be understood, of course, that there is nothing which may not be done, as far as Lesponsibility : is . concerned, by persons in office. The question of how far they may go on any oc casion, must be entirely a matter of discretion with themselves. [NEW TIMES.] It was a most unfortunate circumstance for Mr. Abercromby's motion laSt night, that LOrd Archi bald Hamilton's action against the Editor of The Beacon was decided time ,enough .for the rePOrt to appear in a London Paper of yesterday morn- • ing. To be sure the worthy Editors of 7%e Times and Chronicle slurred over the matter as well as they could. They took care not to give a report of the trial ; but their caution was de feated ; a full and fair report appeared in The New Times, and the public learnt with sur prise that ..the. Noble Lord; who had laid his damaffes at Five Thousand Pounds, had ob tained emir' an honest Jury—One Shilling!! Here we havee-a fair test.of• the clamour that was raised , against The Beacon. : The Times of yes terday talks of " that late infamous,Journal, The Beacon"—of" its false and slanderous insinua tions against Lord ,Archibald's character "—of " a series of attacks on his Lordship during April, May, and June last year;" by all which attacks, taken together, it now. appears that his Lordship was damaged to the amount of twelve pence, being perhaps at the Tate of about three farthings' per article !—The Times, modestly sinking the _mention of the particular amount of the verdict, calls it nominal damages,' and says, that ".to his Lordship's honourable mind, despising pecuniary compensation, these were fully sufficient," We dare "say his Lordship entirely despises pecuniary compensation ; but that he thinks a shilling damages/sufficient, we :•,ravely doubt : not only because he laid his ac tion at one' hundred thousand -times the sum he obtained ; not only because . his Counsel argued strenuously for high damages ; but because a k-erdict,ora shilling proves the complaints ,against The Beacon to be altogether exaggerated ; and .:_!so proves his Lordship to be not quite so great a friend to the Liberty of the Press as he had perhaps taken_himself to be. , EVIIITISII PRESS.] The conduct of the Lord Advocate, in his pa lionage of the incendiary Scotch Journals, was Lrought before the House of CommoNs last night Mr. Abercromby. It appears from the state .:!ent that the malevolence of parties is.no inac v:ve principle of conduct' among our neighbours, ror does it seem to lag for.want either of the ways lid - means, or the spur of official intimation. The Lord Advocate is said to have about eighty ap rointments.in his patronage, which have to be di occasionally among something less than 200 yractitiOners. Scotland. does not overflow with 'riefs, and there is a proverbial sagacity of scent. ti-s to emolument, which, could be trained to the p*ursults•of a busy and powerful•partisan, with. less cost and hazard than the Lord Advocate has risked. It is an ;twkward station for a judicial officer to have his illicit warrant pro duced for writings which he is obliged to disavow 'the moment he is known to be connected with them—when he has power and consequence enough to put ten times the machinery in mo tion, if his taste and ambition should so tend, without committing In secret the dignity (it i would not be polite to mention the purity) of his functions. The Learned Lord defended his conduct,•and insisted on it that he had done nothing but recommend Borthwick's publication, the Clydesdale Joarnal, which led to the meeting of Gentlemen at Edinburgh, • who thereupon resolved to rear up The Beacon under their own auspices. And so, as Falstaff says of rebellion, the project lay in his way and he found it. Mr. Peel assisted the pleh of the Learned Lord, on the ground of his good intentions. Sir James Mackintosh supported the motion. The House went to a division, when there appeared for the motion 95 ; against it 120 ; majority against the motion 25." [MORNING lIERALD.I 4 Sunday's Pills Papers reached us late last ight by express. They contain . no later ❑ews han our preceding arrivals from the North or East of Europe. Some articles, not clothed with any appearance of authenticity, intimate that the Turks are still only gaining time, with their accustomed duplicity, in order to crush the Greeks by attacking them singly with all their force, and, having disposed of the weaker enemy, to make head against the. Russians. This seems, however, little else than the idle speculation of the German Journalists. It is stated, at the same time, that the Sultan had ordered the equipment of another fleet, which was actually commenced in the arsenals, and that the Capitan' Paella having left 15,000 Asiatics in the Isle of Scio, had set out on the 15th of May for the Mores. , [THE TI M ES.] Letters from Constantinople of the 25th ult. which reached town yesterday, detail one of those horrible transactions which find no parallel in cotemporary barbarity, and which it would require the -strongest historical evidence to sup port as a real occurrence of the most savage ages. This sanguinary deed is nothing else than the de capitation, by the Government of the Porte, of 72 Greek merchants, some of them the most re spectable in the Levant, and all of them of consequence among their countrymen,—without alleged crime—without the form of trial—without an insinuation of misconduct—but merely because, out of compassion for'their brethren in the isle of Scio, they offered themselves as hostages for their good behaviour, and interposed between them and the Turkish cimeter. The islanders, driven, at length, to revolt by the intolerable cruelties and humiliations to which they were subjected, have been massacred and exterminated ; and the barbarous despot, not satisfied with. the blood and torture of the principals who rebelled, has sacrificed, " at one fell swoop," likewise, their generous unoffending securities. Every drop of Christian blood boils at the atrocity—every spark of humanity is kindled 'to indignation at suchjtuthorized assassinations. The following are the names of some of the victims of this horrible tragedy :—Merchants belonging to Constanti nople—Th. Ralli, P. Rodocanachi, M. Schillizzi, ttarachi, M. Yam, J. Galatti, and F. Fraghiadi. Merchants belonging to or connected with the island of Scio—E. Mavrocordato, Vi. Ralli, Th. Ralli, A Ridli, D. Ralli, S. Ralli, J. Paspatti, N. Petrocochino, S. Schillizzi, L. Schillizzi, L. Schillizzi, jun., S. Rodacanachi, P. Scaramaga, .V. Scaramaga, P. Sgutta, A. Arbuti, L. Vlasti. What effect these fresh murders may have on the state of the unfinished negociation between the Powers of civilized Europe and this barbarous 'Government, we cannot say ; but if we can be lieve statements in a letter of a subsequent date, orders have been sent to the Turkish frontier to delay the march of the troops towards the centre till the feeling which such conduct may excite in Russia is ascertained. -The relations of some of the victims of this bloody tragedy reside in London, and received letters from their deceased friends on the eve of their execution.

LITERARY NOTICE. THE COUNCIL OF TEN.—(No. I.) Such is the mysterious title of a. pamphlet that contains more solid matter, and conveyed in a more elegant form, than any publication of a similar nature, which for a long time has come under our observation. The DECEMVIRI who constitute the characters that form the Council, following the example of The Spectator, consist of persons who are to be understood as represent ing the chief classes of society, and who enter into the association for the most laudable purpose, in order, as far as their respective powers and op portunities will admit, to support morality, reli gion, and sound national policy, and thereby to im prove the general interests of mankind. The Council are stated to have met on the 25th of April, 1822. It is said that " the several indi viduals who now compose the Council' acci dentally found themselves together in London, after a separation of some years, and agreed to meet at a certain time and place for the purpose of once more indulging in the delight of social intercourse, and dedicating the evening to the renewal of their former intimacy." Nothing.for tunately happened to prevent them from keeping the appointment, and after enjoying the pleasure naturally arising from so agreeable an event, as they are all men of sagacity; and anxious to pro mote the welfare of mankind, they soon entertain ed views of higher import than of mere convivial meetings. The work is divided into several sec tions, beginning with THE MEETING OF THE COUN.• CIL. Next, the Orig in of the Council. Then follow the characters of which the Council are com posed, commencing with THE PRESIDENT, whose character is given at lerrgth,'and who appears to be well qualified to be at the head of so wise , and philanthropic a fraternity. He is to be generally designated by the appellation of THE CENSOR. He is described as easy in his circum stances, and of no profession, but a man of deep observation and great experience. Then follows CLERICUS, a beneficed Clergyman, of exemplary character, as are all the rest of the Council, since otherwise they would not be Members of so honourable a brotherhood. He of course is the chief authority upon Religious concerns. The next in order is THE SQUIRE, who, of course, is to be referred to in all matters connected with the Landed Interests, and who is so partial to his own country as to be adverse to all others. He is followed by THE COSMOPOLITE, who having been born at sea and travelled to various parts of the world, has more diffusive feelings. To, re lieve, however, the monotony of mere fact and argument, THE PROJECTOR iS one of the Mem bers, who, of course, diversifies the topics of the meeting with schemes and speculations, all, how ever, tending , to the general interests of society. We have then THE M ERCH PIT, whose views and opinions are distinctly stated, and who, as may be supposed, is to _take care of the concerns of Commerce. That we may have a man conversant with the political and financial subjects of the times, we have next THE POLITICAL ECONOMIST. It would have been strange indeed if our warlike defenders should not have had . a representative in this,patriotic community, and therefore we have next THE SOLDIER. We have thenTHETuAvELLER, and though THE. COSMOPOLITE might be supposed to bear a near affinity to him, yet they are kept distinct in their views and in general character. The last of this amiable and respectable assembly is a gentleman who is styled URBANUS, and of whom a more particular account is given than of any of the other members. We shall not however anticipate the pleasure of the Reader, by enter ing into any detailed account of his history; suf fice it to say that it is very interesting. Th 4 brief accounts that are given of the conversations which take place among this intelligent group are amusing and instructive. At present we shall content ourselves with extracting the following sentiments of the . THE COSMOPOLITE, and here after probably gratify our readers with ample citations : ". I hope," said the Traveller, " we shall extend our views over all Europe." " Over the- whole world, I hope," ex claimed the Cosmopolite. -" Assuredly we shall," said the President, " such comprehensive views must 4 be ours, as men who feel for,, all mankind.' Yet we must remember, that we are not only men but Englishmen ; natives of a particular country, as well as citizens of the world. That country must claim our first and most especial regard ; must be the nidus and nucleus of our affections ; the focus of all the rays of our benevolence. For myself,. I should consider the man, who could lose himself in splendid dreams of laying- the habitable globe under an obligation to him for his services, while he neglected the good which might be done, at his very, feet, in that land where Providence had placed him, arid where he en joyed the benefits of government, and the pleasures of society, in almost the same light as a madman, who, in the wildness of his insanity, could not content himself with the earth, but was, continually anxious to legislate for the whole universe, of which he was an atom ; Ivho should employ himself in framing salu tary laws and institutions for the regulation of Jupiter,and Sa- turn ; or have it in contemplation to stretch his benignant schemes beyond all the planets of our solar system. It is as easy to conceive a circle without a centre, as philanthropy with out patriotism ; or a general concern for the human race with. out a greater regard for our friends, our neighbours, and our countrymen." We feel it, however, ti kind of duty to recom mend this work to the public in general, but more particularly to parents, as the characters are well drawn and nicely discriminated. Young persons, by attentively reflecting on the several characters, may insensibly imbibe qualities from each, while the whole tends to the enlargement of their knowledge of the world, and The improve ment of their own dispositions. The author of this valuable work is obviously well acquainted, with human life. He is an accurate observer, a scholar, a man of taste, of an enlarged mind and a liberal disposition, and, if the future numbers should be adequate in merit to that before us, his labours will be eminently useful to mankind, and deserve a permanent station -among the best of modern compositions.

FOR THE SUN, POPERY. MR. EDITOR—One of your Correspondents lately seemed to intimate that the arguments and reasonings connected with what is called the Ca tholic Question, have been brought forward too frequently, even to a tautological satiety. But many others, and among these it is unnecessary to add your present Correspondent, are impressed with a sentiment of a diametrically opposite nature ; , that there has been too great an oscitancy and negligence in the nation at large of entering into and acquainting themselves with the true state of the question and the results inseparably connected with it. The Author, from whose history, I lately sent you some extracts, gives the following particulars o f the Bishops' trial :—" And " now one would think it impossible that this " modest submissive manner of delivering an hum " ble Petition to the King, by persons of such " character and dignity, should be deemed a tu " multuary publication of a seditious libel : yet 44 so it was, and as such all these 'Reverend Pre " lates were summoned to answer for it at the " Council Board, where they appeared, and " having acknowledged the Petition to be " theirs, the Council were pleased to 'order " them to put in bail, to answer the King's " suit the first day of the next term : which " they refused to do, and pleaded that being 44 Peers they were not obliged, but ought to be 4C served with the usual process of subpoena only, 44 and not imprisoned ; which plea was over " ruled, and they (by warrant of Council) all " seven committed to the Tower; an informa " tion of high misdemeanour being brought'against "them. On the 15th June the Archbishop and " his fellow-prisoners appeared at the King's '' Bench bar, where, after some deliberation con " cerning the irregularity- of the commitment, 44 in which they were over-ruled by the Court, " the information against them was read, setting " forth,that the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of St. Asaph, Ely, &c., did unlawfully, " maliciously, seditiously and scandalously corn " pose and write a certain false, pernicious, and " seditiOus libel, and being so composed and " written, by force and arms did publish the " same in the presence of the King"—(which odious libel, stated with such malignant and absurd exaggeration, was the above-named peti tion.) " The information being read, the Bishops' " Counsel moved to have a copy of it, that they " might be allowed time to plead to it : this " was epposed, and they obliged to plead, which 44 they severally did Not Guilty ;' after which 4( the day of trial was appointed to be the 29th, " and their Lordships•entered into recognizance "to appear on •that day. Accordingly on the 46 29th June the Bishops made their appearance " at the King's Bench bar,where were presenf a " great number of the nobility as spectators ; " and the Jury being sworn, the information was 44 again read, and the King's declaration was " again produced and sworn to. After this " the Bishops' Petition being produced and " divers witnesses brought to prove their hand " writing, &c. lastly the. King's Counsel endea " voured to make it a libel, in which they were 44 opposed by the Bishops' Counsel, who very " learnedly and ingeniously defended their " clients. The brevity .of an abridgment will 44 not admit of setting down the arguments ; we " have only room to say that the dispensing " power was the subject of most of them, •in " which the Bishops' Counsel did sufficiently ".baffle the King's;' which dispute, when the " Chief Justice Wright, and Justice Allibone, 44 who was a Papist, endeavoured to suppress, 46 they were opposed by Judge Holloway and " Justice Powell, who did much appear on the 46 Bishops' side all the day. In fine the Judges " summed up the evidence, wherein the Lord " Chief Justice Wright ccave his opinion that "" it was a libel,' as did Mr. Justice Allibone ; " but Mr. Justice Powell the contrary. And " it being 'now night, the' Jury _were ordered 64 to be locked up, after some refreshments " allowed them, till next morning." (What a night of anxiety, suspense, and trepidation must that have been to the Prelates, to the Court, to the Capital, and indeed to the whole Nation, as far as it was known !! " The next " morning the verdict was given in, Not Guilty, " which caused very great acclamations in the " Hall, and even in the very Court itself, to the great regret of the prosecutors. A week after " this the King. removed Sir R. Holloway and " Sir T. Powell from their places as Justices in " the King's Bench." And yet the descendants and successors of these men complain that they are denied the power and political right to do all this over again ! We have of late had numerous proofs that what they have obtained already in that way, is now too great, from the. use they have made of it. Protestants of every denomi nation should be perfectly aware of those among themselves, who, whatever may be the excuse offered, excite violent disputes and animosities among themselves on their separate creeds and, modes of worship; as it has,been the most plau sible pretext for instituting, and chief instrument in obtaining, that abhorred spiritual domina tion by which the Itomanists were enabled to perpetrate their bloody yersecutions and massacres through the dark ages. Fe know it was their characteristic turbulence and intriguing that caused the lenient and pacific Alexander to banish that execrable fraternity, the Jesuits, from the Russian dominions, to the number of 600 or 800, who have all been received into this infatuated country, and where they have erected chapels, seminaries, and monasteries, all over the nation; and the blessed fruits have been experienced in tumults, conspiracies, insur rections, and rebellions, growing more bloody and formidable and general every day. Witness unhappy Ireland, and our late disturbed counties. The apathy also shewn to the suffering s of the Greek nation under their inhuman lahometan oppressors, notwithstanding the appeals made to Great Britain, as the patroness of universal liber ty, is no doubt owing to the preponderance of their secret influence in certain quarters,--as the Grecian, and, indeed all the Oriental churches, Waif always rejected with scorn the claims of supreme authority set up by the Bishops of Itome.- 7 -(Dr. harvie's, Church history, .vni• 3,- y. 50.) " Among those who have most firmly " rejected the attempts of the Roman Pontiff,. " Cyrillus. Lucar may be reckoned,—a man of " real piety and extensive le ar ni ng , beyond what 46 has usually filled the Chair of Constantinople ., 46 After diligently examining the Romish and " Protestant opinions, he seemed much more CM' 44 posed to form a union with the latter than the " former, and in consequence corresponded ivitn . 46 Protestants of eminence. This bitterly pro " yoked the- Catholics. The Jesuits, througu the French Ambassador at the• Porte, exerted cc all their influence to render Cyrillus odious and " suspected by the Turks. Having gained some " envious Greeks to their party, they formed •an " aceusation against the good Patriarch, of pre " tended treason, and procured his death by th e ' 4 ' Ottoman Emperor's orders. His crime was- - " his piety, and disposition to unite the Greek cc and reformed churches,—an offence inexpiable "in the sight of Rome and her satellites." A re petition of this scene, with still more aggravated circumstances of sanguinary cruelty, we have seen perpetrated in the butchery of the late Patriarch and his suffragan prelates, who had formed a con' nexion with the accredited agents of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and manifested the utmost gratitude-for the printing and dissemina: tion, in their vernacular dialects, of the Sacre° volume. As the wearer of th e triple Crown well knows, his impostures and impieties will be completely exposed and annihilated by the atter tive and general perusal of that volume, he has laboured every where to counteract and suppres s ' it.all over. the Continent ; and no doubt his emissaries were as . busy on the Bosphorus as elsewhere : for Leander von Ess and his Col,- leagues, though professed members of that C0n.1." munity, have experienced as much opposition and malignity as did Luther or Melancthon themselves. When we see such a man as Frays' sinous, the avowed advocate of fostering universa l ignorance, set over the French Church ; vibe ° we hear what nurnbfrs of our countrymen con` tinually reside there and mingle with the dis: sipated amusements, and learn the vices and . infidelity for which that nation has alwaY s ' been notorious, it should excite a doubi ° vigilance against Roman encroachments here." When we learn how much the public m orals have suffered' of late by establishing Su n ' day routes, Sunday promenades in the Parks/ pedestrian and equestrian ; and worst of all bf Sunday Newspapers, that disseminate anarchl 7 vice, and treason, with indefatigable assiduity, 41 their wide circulated thous a nd s , we ma y well look \ for a coming storm. The Divine patience bears long, but will not bear always ; and " they 44 that being often r e p rove d h ar d en t h em selves 46 in crime shall sudd e nly b e d es t roye d, an d that " without remedy." June 15, 1822.
