FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, SEPT. 19.—The affairs of the interior, the importance of which will soon be developed, and the judicial contests with which we have been -forced to occupy ourselves, on our own account, have not allowed us for some time past to give that attention to general ; pdlitics which they merit. We have been contented with transcrib ingfrom foreign Journals their reflections and .opinions, 'leaving to our readers the care of examining and appreciating them. The.approach of the Congress of Verona now makes it our duty to bring our observations together—to seek to enlighten men of good faith—and to show in what manner the inseparable cause of the people and their sovereigns may effectually be served. Three principal objects, according to all ap pearance, will occupy the thoughts of the Mo narchs who are met at Verona, viz :—The affairs of Greece, those of Spain, and the tendency of the public mind, both in Germany and Italy, -\ towards constitutional principles. At no period have statesmen had to meditate on more important subjects. Passion should be silent—personal in terest should be forgotten—and the calmness of wisdom alone should decide for the advantage of the present, and the repose of the future. In stances of agitation, and of calamities, may result from the-.error of a moment. The questions concerning Greece may all.be reduced to one. 'Had the Greeks, the slaves of a barbarous oppressor, the right to throw off the . • yoke, and raise the standard of independence ?• We know that the civilians of a new school main tain that the insurrection of the Greeks is an -in fraction of legitimacy, a miserable consequence of those constitutional doctrines called revolu tionary.. According to these sublime professors of the rights of nations, the oppression of the Greeks had become the inviolable property of the Grand Turk ; the perpetual exactions, the • tyranny of the Chiefs, the vexations of the subal terns, the outrages against modesty and nature, - the humiliation of the Cross., imprisonments .and massacres,formed a state of society from which the : victims could not legally emancipate themselves. .Happily such doctrines are rejected by general consent, and by the most common principles of justice. If it is incontestible that duties and rights are-inseparable ; necessarily a people who •-njoy no rights, not even the rights of personal property, must be exonerated from every duty towards their oppressors. There has been no contract, no treaty between the Christian Greeks and the secret sectaries of Islamism ; the sword has established, and the sword may cut, all exist ..ing relations between them. Will the Allied Monarchs interfere in favour of a Christian nation devoted to destruction ? A simple display of their power would be suf ficient to force back into Asia the implacable enemies of the Christian name, who reign by barbarism and ignorance, and whom civilized .Europe will never admit into its community. Do ot let people imagine they can bind by treaties a ferocious people intoxicated with pride and fanati- They have their casuists who absolve them from every oath and from every obligation towards i:.fidels. The Alcoran in their hand, they will ex lurrninate in Greece every one who obeys the Evangelist. Despotism itself, surrounded by its motes and executioners, could not protect the ' , Vanquished. Scio, overflowed with blood, is a eterrible proof of this truth. It is not negociations, therefore, by the Holy fiance, that can prevent the destruction of Chris fi,.;-ity in those fine countries, the abode of so glorious recollections ; in that ancient •J.:;(1 of heroism, of civilization, and of the ..i..ts. It is necessary not to delude ourselves in .this respect; an armed intervention can alone rescue the standard of the Cross from the insults avid bloody triumph of the Crescent. But to this the objections of a vulgar policy are .epposed. How can the newinterests of the Greeks tie made to agree with the ancient interests of diffe fent Governments ? Is not the first and most important of all interests, for Kings as well as sahjects, that of justice and humanity ? We cannot conceive how the independence of the Cireelca can derange the relative position of the dilferent Powers, or wound their interests.— There can be no inconvenience in it, unless -Greece is to be parcelled out like a conquered ;:ountry ; but this idea cannot enter the heads of .1k ouarchs whom we at present consider less as zonquerors than as liberators. It would be easy to prove that the best inte ;rests of these different / Powers, if well under stood, is to favour the Greeks, to leave them the care' of making laws for themselves, and to orga •uise their own Government. A universal cry of commercial distress is heard in Europe ; industry 47ts made such progress within twenty years,' that_markets are wanted for its produce, and the I } restflt is a stagnation, a discouragement to exer tion, which may interrupt its further progress, ; .O advantageous to States and so useful to civili- t ttf) 1. We will not say, therefore, " It is for our interest that a large nation should remain submissive to a Government the enemy of the human race—that t tie most beautiful country - orthe universe should '4l.main a desert and abandoned." We say, " A I;i;ristian population, happy and free, will ferti -li,e fields favoured by heaven, -the cities will be _come commercial, opulence spreading by degrees S‘s ill bring forth new wants to add to the tributes rif 'European industry ; all nations will go with their produce into the numerous ports of the Archipelago end of the Morea ; >new commercial and friendly relations will esta blish themselves, .and these ,new markets will have „-tt beneficial. effect on the prosperity of other ,people." How ease would it be to de veiope this idea, and to shew by calculation its irresistible truth ? Every thing unites—moral feeling and personal interest—to recornmend ; the cause of the Greeks to the magnanimity of the Allied Monarchs. It is a new species of glory, tarely enjoyed, which as offered to their acceptance. Conquerors are 6 .-plentiful in history, to the misery of the human .race. Tire liberators of nations are few, but their names are quoted with love, religion blesies „them, and gratitude embalms their memory.— Will Greece, if, contrary to all expectation, she is abandoned—will Greece perish:? We believe not. War has its reverses, and its sUccesses.— The Hellenians, m taking up arms, must have an ticipated great obstacles, and great dangers; they . have shewn themselves capable of surmounting , the former, and braving the latter. Till now, the chances of war have been in their favour.— In such contest, time is the friend of that .party which at first appeared the weakest.; and mere ,resistance is a presage of ultimate success. Let us hope that the wishes of religion and justice will . be heard, and that Greece, independent and free, will take its place among civilised nations. The wisdom of its chiefs, the heroism of its warriors, and their recent exploits, authorise the most flattering hopes. We postpone to another number the conclusion of our observations on the approaching Congress. —(Constitzttionnel.) The Court of Cassation has rejected the..ap peals of the five persons condemned to -death for the affair.of La Rochelle. An attempt to procure the escape of these prisoners has been discovered.—(Moniteur.) An Evening Paper announces that the Duke of Wellington arrived at Paris this day. To day the Courier from Bayonne usually arrives. At Bayonne, at the principal places on the frontiers, and at Madrid, we have correspon dents, whose exactness is long established, and who never allow a single courier to depart with out writing to us. We have not .received a _single letter by the courier of this morning, and we have also learnt, with certainty, that for several commercial houses who have frequent-.and habitual communications from Bayonne and Spain, there has.not arrived a single despatch. L'Etoile.announces that the Madrid Journals have not arrived. Since -considerable period they have not arrived in France, for their entrance is.prohibited at the frontiers, and it is . not possible to receive any but by employing indirect means.—(Constitutionnel.) The Editor of the Constilutionnel underwent to-day, before the Judge of Instruction, an interrogatory on the subject of the seizure of the number of our Journal of the 15th, which con tained M. Benjamin Constant's letter. M. Ben jamin Constant, who had been in the country, arrived today in Paris. Scarcelyhad he alighted froM his coach, wh e n aCommissary of lice, accompanied by several agents, came to his house to seize what copies he might have of his letter to the Procureur .General of Poitiers. It is said that M. Benjamin Constant protested against this measure.—(Constitutionnel.) We hear from Lausanne, that " the law which establishes the liberty of the press in the Can ton de Vaud, has given birth, up to this moment, to no political work. The men who are calcu lated to direct opinion are profoundly discouraged by the feeling of the uselessness of their efforts, and intimidated by the arbitrary acts, of which Switzerland offers daily spectacles. One politi cal Journal is still edited as before, i. e. in a spirit that would be admitted without difficulty in Lombardy or Piedmont,—the virtuous Gene ral L— lives in retirement, completely ne glected by men in power, who dread in him a bold and severe censor.—The religious lodge of the environs of Rolle has not yet been closed, but the scenes of tumult have ceased." . News is brought from Rouen, that, according to a new examination, it will not be necessary to destroy the arch of the tower of the Cathedral. BAYONNE, SEPT. t4.—Our Chamber of Commerce has just addressed a very ,energetic representation to the Government, complaining of the in jury which the merchants sustain in con sequence of the measures ordered, it is said, by the Secret Com mittee of the Faith in our city, of which General Eguia is Pre sident, to stop the mails going from France to the Peninsula, and viee versa. This complaint is said to have been induced by a report generally spread and believed, that there lately ar rived here two soldiers of the Guerillas of the Faith, which in fest the great road of the three provinces, bringing despatches far General Eguia, and even a part of the intercepted corres pondence, which he has refused to give up, alleging, that he had received only dispatches concerning his army. However this be, if the orders to stop the mail continue to be exe cuted, as it is feared, the merchants of Bayonne will sustain serious injury by the total interruption of all business with the Peninsula. The adventurer Alvarez Toledo, one of the principal agents of the counter revolutionarty party which has 'been formed on our frontiers, arrived here the day before yesterday f r o m the Seo d'Urgel. It is said he complains of the operations of Quesada. The Supreme Junta of Government of Cata lonia intends, it is reported, to send a representative to the Congress at Verona, expecting that he will meet with a better reception than the Deputy of the Constitutional Government, if one is sent. Various reports of military preparations are circulated here ; it is even affirmed that orders are given to receive at Bayonne, between this and the 15th of October, 25,000 men ; but we can not warrant the accuracy of this statement ; we content our selves with saying, that the military preparations and laying in stores of provisions continue, and that our neighbours, the Constitutional Spaniards, are a little alarmed at them ; not that they fear a foreign invasion, for they boast beforehand of fatal consequences that would attend it, as well fer the invaders as the invaded. The invaders, they say, would net be able to sleep at ease in their quarters without a guard at the toot of their beds to protect them from the dagger. In the interior similar threats are heard, even froth the women, who partici pate in the enthusiasm. of their husbands and relations. The Royalists on the frontiers, however, wish that an auxiliary army had already entered ; and there is no doubt that 3,000 men would not at present meet with the smallest resistance as far as Vittoria. We have no certain accounts of the army of Quesada, pos terior to the affair of the 7th, which is confirmed, with the ex ception of the arrest of that General by his own troops, which was a mere fiction,.as it seems. It is, however, said, that after the defeat of the 7th, Quesada and the Trappist retreated to wards Monrayo, on the road to Calatayud ; others pretend that they have taken the direction of Catalonia, by the way of .Ainsi and Benavarri, having left in the mountains of Navarre about 1,200 men. Others affirm that General Eguia has just received dispatches from Quesada, dated the 11th instant, from Irati. It is nine o'clock, and the post from Spain is not yet arrived. The driver of the mail from Bayonne, who goes to the Pas de Behobie, to fetch the mails from the Peninsula, arrived this morning .at eight o'clock, bringing only letters from Irun and St. Sebastian. The first confirms the news that the three last mails from this city for Madrid have been intercepted ; two in the Basque Provinces, and the other at Leima, six leagues from Burgos, by the partisan Cabilla ; and add, that it was not feared that the mail would be intercepted, because orders had been given to escort it, but that it would, perhaps, arrive two hours later. The St. .Sebastian Gazette contains a circular note of the Pro visional Deputation, the object of which is to collect in the chief towns of the districts, the young men dwelling in the country, who may be in danger of being carried off by the fac tious. Measures have been taken to give 15 sons per day, to each man, while they are in these places of refuge. Thus, all excuse is taken from those who should pretend they were carried from their homes by force, and the Mayors, are made responsible. Another circular publishes the Decree of .he Cortes, of 29th June, respecting the surveillance which the Political Chief and the Provisional Deputation ought to exercise over the suspicious conduct of the Clergy of their provinces, and the removal from their functions of those Priests who domot inspire the necessary confidence. A third circular prohibits the sale of gunpowder, and orders the inhabitants of the three Provinces to deliver up, as soon as * This victory of Colocotroni was, according to the Gazette of Firenze, gained between Argos and Corinth, on the jth August. t It is the same as an article inserted in two Parisian Jour- - nals three days ago. It seems that they all have proceeded from the same source.— Note of the Editor of the Journal des Debits. indigent Greek fugitives is very great, farther subscriptions are solicited for this laudable object. BERLIN, SErr: 13.—We learn that his Majesty's depar ture for the Congress.at Vienna, &c., is now lied for the 20th instant. SEPTEMBER 15—The Prince Chincellor is expected to-day from Westphalia, and it is said; he will also go to the Con gress the beginning of next month. SErrEmnEn. If.—The Diet is not convoked. His Ma jesty, however, in confirming-the Budget for this year and the next, has reduced by one-third, the contribution to be fur nished in kind, so that this tax is now reduced by 478,000 rix dollars.—(Hamburgh Papers, Sept. 17.) Exchange on London - 37 01-37 31 ST. PETERSBURGH SEPT. 3. ,Exchange on London - - 101 1-10 Amsterdam - 10 2-32 1-10 Hamburgh - 9 Paris - - 106 AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 19.—A Berlin Paper, which is con sidered as half official, positively contradicts the report of the march of an Austrian corps to reinforce the French Cordon on the Pyrennees. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 19.—Yesterday evening a British Cabi net Messenger passed through this City ; he came from London and was going. in all haste to Vienna, to carry thither the intel ligence of the appointment of Mr. Canning to the office of Se cretary for Foreign Affairs in the room of the late Marquess of Londonderry. The Duke of Wellington wished for this no mination to be made before he set out for Vienna. We ima ginethat his Grace left London about the 17th. _ _ The Committee appointed by his Majesty last March to con sider of measures for the relief of agriculture, and of which Baron Roil! is President, has terminated its labours, and has just presented its Report to the King. IV e learn that his Excellency the Minister of State, M. Repelaar Van Driel, has just been appointed by the King, President of the Anonymous Society, which is to meet at Brussels, for every thing relative to agriculture, commerce, and manufactures, according to the regulations of the Royal Decree on that Sl.eCt. NUItEMBIT RG, SEPT. M.—We learn from Vienna that the Aulic Council has just sent to the War Department an order to raise all the regiments of infantry in the Austrian army to their full complement. This measure must be carried into effect about the end of September, or at the beginning of Octo ber at the farthest. It is observed that the corps formed by the Landwehr are exempt from this measure. They are not to be embodied this year, as has long been usual in Austria. ( Flanders Papers, Sept. 21.) VIENNA, SEPT. B.—The Austrian Observer of to-day con tains no further intelligence of the affairs of Greece and Turkey. It has the following article respecting the arrival of the Em perors : " His Majesty the Emperor of Russia arrived here this fore noon (the 7th), accompanied by his Majesty our gracious Sove reign, who tent this morning to meet his illustrious visitor at some distance from the city. His Imperial Majesty, who is in perfect health, went to the apartments prepared for him in the Imperial Palace." Count Nesselrode arrived here on the 4th from St. Peters burgh, and Count Pozzo di Borgo on the sth from Paris. Count Lebzeltern, Extraordinary Ambassador and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Emperor of Austria to the Court of St. Petersburgh ; the Russian General Count Czernicheff; and Count Ferronays, French Ambassador to the Russian Court, have also arrived from St. .Petersburgh. Viscount Montmorency, the French Minister and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, arrived here last night from Paris. The Duke of Wellington is expected between the 12th and 15th. From the LONDON GAZETTE of Sept. 2 1 . Carlton House, Sept. 12, 1822. The king has been pleased to appoint Sir William Knighton, Bart. to be keeper of his Majesty's Privy Purse. possible, and under severe penalties, all fire-arms fit for service, that they may have in their possession. The same Journal mentions the hostile preparations making at Bayonne, and positively announces that the correspondence intercepted by the soldiers of Zabala has been sent to General Eguia. It is the battalion of the active militia of Salamanca, which has-arrived at St. Sebastian: the Governor of Burgos has retained the Grenadier Company of that corps to pursue the par tisans of Eavilla, whose bands daily increase ,and intercept the communication. The arrival of the French General, Count de Erlon, at Bar. celona, is but too true ; it is positively affirmed that he has ask. ed permission of the Spanish Government to raise a foreign corps, to be called Knights of Libcrty, and that it was strongly believed he would.obtain it. BREST, SEFT. Lt.—The Goletta brig, Gugette, M. Lalande, commander; has just been dispatched to Toulon ; it seems that it is afterwards to join the squadron of the Levant. The frigate Hermione, M. des Lauteurs, commander, and the corvette Diligente, M. Gautier, commander, are also to sail. 13,ear- Admiral Bergeret .has his flag in the Hermione, which is, ,it is said, to return to its station at the Antilles. AUGSEURGII, SEPT. i 4.—(Extract from a pri vate Letter.)—We have received the two follow ing letters, which seem to throw some doubts on the successes of the Turks ; but it is impossible to guarantee the truth of the details which they contain : " ZANTE, AUG. 19.—The news from .the Morea explains the dissolution of the Senate of Argos, in the following man ner :—As soon .as the Ottoman armies entered the Peninsula, all the Chiefs of the Greeks were convinced of the necessity ,of a Dictatorship. The choice was doubtful between Colocotroni, and Demetrius Ypsilanti, 'but the first had the advantage, and was unanimously proclaimed Dict a t or . Th e M em b ers o f the Senate, of whom some inclined to Engl a nd, and w ere retiring to Zante, submitted immediately to a new head. Colocotroni gave up the command of thecorps, before Patras, to Logotheti, whom the Turkish reports had transported in chains to Ypsara. Colocotroni defeated the Ottoman army, which had penetrated into the Morea, and annihilated a corps of 8,000 men.* The same letters assert, that Odysseus gave up the passage of Thermopylw, to the Chourschid Paella, for a sum of 300,000, piastres ; but that he'lms , since recommenced hostilities against the Turks" " SEPT. 2.—The Turks of Belgrade continue to announce victories, and to look on the conquest of the Alorea as certain ; but our Greeks have taken alittle courage since the arrival of the ordinary courier from Belgrade., with letters from Salonica of the - 16th, and Serres of the 19th of August. All these letters continue to announce victories gained by the Greeks : they assert Chourschid Pacha liaS been defeated, and that it is in consequence of his defeat that he returned to La rissa on the 6th of August, with 3,000 men, and thathe has made a third call upon the Mussulmans, which no one has obeyed. They assert also; that Om& Brione has suffered a check near Jannina. But the "greater part of the letters only venture to speak of their defeat' in allegorical terms. 1 give you the news as it iseirculated here, - but I do not warrant its correctness. You see both parties claidi the victory. We must still wait for the next Courier from Constantinople." LEGHORN, SEPT. 7.--. Another American squadron is ex pected in the Mediterranean, to reinforce the one which is there already. The news is also confirmed of the American agents who arrived some time ago in the Morca, having brought to a conclusion important aegociations with the Greek Government. FRANKTORT, SEPT. 14.—The attention of our politicians is alternately turned toward London and Vienna ; they expect to see Lord Wellington arrive, :but from what is known of the proceedings of the English Government, it is not expected that the Noble Lord will come with such extensive powers .as Lord Londonderryusually had. This Minister acted under his own re sponsibility, and as head of the department for foreign affairs. he Duke of Wellington,,as Member of the Cabinet, and as one of the most distinguished persons in England, may be charged with very important communications anti declarations ; but the immediate controul of the negociations, drawing up notes, and signing conventions, cannot, according to the invariable proceed ings of the British Cabinet, be confided to any person but one provided with full powers by the Minister, whose responsibility to Parliament requires that every thing should be submitted to and approved of by him. According to this principle, the King of England,.in approving the sentiments expressed in the treaty of the Holy Alliance, of September 26,1815 ' refused to sign it, because it was drawn .up in a form which did not admit of its being counter signed by a responsible Minister. The appointment of a new ;Minister for Foreign Affairs is, therefore, a measure which must take place, before England formally and positively interferes in, the •regular negociations of the Congress. People are impatient to know if this Minister is to be taken from among the moderate Tories, as Liverpool, Canning; Wellesley; Or from among the Tories exalted, as the Lord Chancellor, Lord Colchester; and others. • The proceedings of the Russian Statesmen excite as lively a curiosity as the Ministerial arrangements at London. Count Capo-d'lstria, who had fallen into disgrace, according to gene ral opinion, for having supported the cause of the Greeks too ardently, is at present at the waters of Ems, after having-passed some days in this town. Redid not appear here like a dis graced Minister. He has a large suite, several secretaries, and what is remarkable, imperial cabinet couriers at his service. It is nearly certain,' therefore, that he is not out of' office. The Russian Minister to the Germanic Diet, M. de Anstett, and the Russian Consul-Gene-ral, M. Bethman, invited him alter. nately to dinner, during his stay here, and appeared to treat him with great deference; and M. Pozzo di Borgo, in passing through the town, had an interview with him. The friends of the unfortunate Greeks, in their present situa tion, regard these circumstances with attention and anxiety ; they also remark, that the residence of M. de Strogonoff, at the waters of Bohemia, is not far from the place of the actual con ference. The most ardent partizans of the Greeks see even still farther. They assert, that a great monarch complains of the langour with which other Courts have supported his remonstrance in favour of the victims of Musselman barbarity. They add, that the defeats of the Grecas are not as decisive as stated by The Austrian Observer. They regard all the publications on the termination of the Greek insurrection, as a means of keeping out of the dis cussions of Congress all mention of the affairs:of the East, in order to concentrate attention to those of Spain. The friends of the Greeks refer to letters from Leghorn, Corfu, and even to an article in the Gazetta di Forenza . , according to which the Turks were beat at Coriuth, on August jtht ; but even ad mitting that The Austrian Observer is animated with senti ments hostile to the Greeks, we must suppose, from the ta lents and the prudence of its editors, that they are incapable of employing such improper means to - gain -their ends, and which would so soon turn to their own confusion. The news of the Observer is certainly true in the main, and if some iso lated combats have been unfavourable to the Turks, that is not a reason to believe that the insurrection can still be prolonged ; perhaps it is even not to be desired - ; perhaps Greece, desolate at the feet of the barbarians; will - excite more certainly the pity of Christian Kings, than Greece armed for battle. ' PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 3.-11er Majesty the Em press Maria has now . fully taken possession of the new and magnificent palace in Jelaldas Island, and it will probably be come, next to Pawlowsk, the favourite summer residence of her Imperial Majesty. The best artists of this city have been em ployed in building and decorating it. The last private per son who possessed it was Count Gregory Osteff, of whom his Majesty purchased it for 230,000 roubles in paper currency. The Conservateur Impartial of to-day has the following ob servations on the affairs of the East Private letters from Constantinopleof 30th July, affirm that the public tranquillity is daily more and more consolidated; that they hear nothing of the plague or of war ; that the moderatitin of a great power, and the means employed by its allies, give reason to hope that peace will not be interrupted. Soon, it is said, the Am bassadors of the four great Powers, at Pera, will reap the fruits of their endeavtiurs. They' have for some time past re doubled their activity, because the pressure of circumstances has required it ;.and this has been attended with happy conse quences. The Internuncio of the Court of Vienna, the Am bassadors of France and England, as well as the Prussian Charge d'Affaires, have proved what a determined perseverance can do, when it acts on one consistent plan. Ifall these endeavours, as we are authorised to hope, obtain the consent of the Porte with respect to some Concessions and EVacuations Which are neces sary to the maintenance of peace, all the Christians of the East will owe to this beneficent co-operation a solid establish ment, which will not be endangered in times of war.— From the panic terror which seized the Greeks at Smyrna after the defeat of the Turkish fleet, we may judge of the fate they would have reason to fear, if a Russian army had approached Constantinople. Lord Strangford has resided, for some time at a country house by the sea side. Mr. Chap pon, his Charge d'Affaires, .continues. his negotiations with the Reis Effendi.' _ The same Paper contains an article on the subscriptions opened in the Russian empire, for the Greeks who had taken refuge in it. The subscriptions amount, it seems, to 975,000 rubles, of which his Majesty the Emperor contributed 150,000, and the Empress Mother 10,000. But as the number of the BANKRUPTS.

At eleven o'clock, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Governors of the several Royal Hospi tats attended Divine Service at Christchurch, Netvgate-street,where they heard an exceli.ent sermon preached by the B,ev..Williarn Burps -Hayne, A.M. who received his. early edu cation in that seminary. After church service they repaired to the Great Hall in Christ's Hos pital, which was fitted up for the purpose, with a rostrum at the end next the entrance for the orators of the day (the two senior scholars of the Grammar-school), ,at the opposite end of the Hall, at a table (on which were placed a crim son velvet cushion, ornamented with gold fringe and tassels, the City Mace and Sword of State) sat the :Lord.Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Go vernors ; on each side the Hall were three rows of benches for the accommodation of 'the ladies and gentlemen who composed the audience.— At three o'clock, Master Samuel Hingiston mounted the rostrum, and delivered an. ap propriate oration, in Latin, which though only un derstood by the more learned, was received with the greatest applause.
