There have been of late yea's also, twenty almshouses erected and ettahli , hed for those who are superannuated, and whose good conduct in their office as pilots, entitled them to the consideratioo of the court.

The Leander soon after proceeds to sea." 'lk e more rce consider the supposed Protest of the AUSTRIAN Princess MARIA LOUISA, for We cannot deem her the Ex-EMPRESS, since Buotadv- PAWNS'S wife JOSEPHINE was the Ex-Empress, admitting, for the sake of argument, that the Usurper had any right to title of Emperor,--, the more, we say, that we consider this Protest, the more we are convinced that it is a mere fabri cation. But it is a very ridiculous and clumsy tablicatimi, for it attempts to support file suc ut Legitimacy, 1,04i1e it labuuts to ovcr- .••••,•• 641.1. contends for the succession of USURPATION, and denies. the rights of the herenirary lawful Mo narch. But it is hardly worth a comment. We are surprised, however, to find that The British Press, one of the most sagacious of the Oppo sition Journals, seems to treat this flimsy produc tion as an authentic document, and with a waste of good reasoning upon so silly a fabrication, enters into a formal examination of its contents. Even the Morning Chrohicle, which was the first to publish this curious document, says not a word in defence of Its anthenticity, but is wholly silent this day upon the subject. Hence we might al most be inclined to suspect that it is really one of the fruits of its own prolific pOwirs of invention. EMIGRATION.-1t seems that the Agent for THE INDEPENDANTS in South America, who is •now . in London, and who is said to be a General in their service, now deems it expedient to ava! himself of the zeal Of British Officers of the Nov who are anxious to join the cause, by demanding TWENTY GUINEAS of each person on whom he bestows a Commission. But lie does not give the simple eurchasets any authentic proof that they will obtain a confit (nation of these com missions when they have arrived at the place of destin a tion. We right not, however, to con chide wit hoot I;•kirding our Conatrymen from en gaging in this service, for whatever may be thought of the cause by Philosophers, Moralists, anti Politicians, they will, in fact, be supporting the enemies of an Ally of Great Britain, and Bri tish Officers may perhaps hazard their commissions; by taking a part, but whatever may be their fate, they cannot hope that the British Government will interpose in their behalf, if they should fall into the hands of that Government with whom we are at present on the most amicable footing.— We do not give this caution upon slight grounds. The Liverpool letter received at LLOYD'S this morning, dated the 4th inst. gives the arrival of ►he Hero, Captain MURPHY, horn Bahia, from whence she sailed the 12th June, and brings an account that MARTINES was hanged the day the. Hero left. THE FUNDS.—A rise of One per Cent. has taken place since yesterday morning. The Market is very brisk, and chiefly purchasers. Conso:s opened at 80, rose to 80i, and when our Reporter left the City were at 804.. GREENLAND FISHERY.—(HULL, Atc. 4.) A letter received here yesterday from Captain . ALLAN, of the North Briton, of this port, com municates rather unfavourable intelligence re specting the Greenland Whale Fishery. Captain ALLAN'S letter is addressed to Messrs. SPY YE an d CooPER, dated July 25th, and comes by the way of Hauiburgh : it confirms the loss of the tour vessels mentioned in the Hatnburgh let ter given in our last, which are stated to be the Dauntless and - Fortitude, of London; the Lion, of Liverpool; and the Leviathan, of Newcastle. Capt.

The Shannon is reported to be at Greenland ; the Resolution, of London, is stove . at Green land ; the Dexterity has arrived at Peterhead, from Greenland. We refer our Readers at the Out-ports to a very interesting Report of the Trinity-House, as to the mode cf admitting Pensioners on the Cha ritable Funds of that Corporation. CORN-EXCHANGE, AUG. 6.—Owing to the fine state of the weather we had very little-business doing this morning ; and the prices are nominally the same as on Monday; except where the sales arc forced, they are rather lower. As the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will pass part of the su-►nn►er recess in Ireland, we flatter ourselves fie will give his attention to the present state of the commercial intercourse be tween Irel►►nd and Great Britain, with a view to lessen the existing embarrassments, and to put the Irish trade with this country on a better foot- i tl4 . It is the concurrent opinion of men of ex tensive business and knowledge, that much may be done for the benefit of both countries, and we do trust, that no►w we are in a state of peace, that this subject will receive ac serious and an early attention. Yesterday evening, about seven o'clock, the PRINCE REGENT, accompanied by the Right Lion. Sir BENJAMIN lkoomrtvin, GeneFal, Sir WM. KFT;PELL, and Colonel SEYMoUR, lift Carlton house for Vtrindsor. The unceasing attempts of these People to pro. pagate their doctrines, demand the unceasing at. tention of all friends to the Established Religion of this country. Yesterday we find that the foundation-stone of a new ROMAN . CATHOLIC CHAPEL was laid in Moor-fields, with as much of that pomp and ceremony as could be properly in troduced, of a religion which spreads its snares by the specious delusions of Pow? and CERE MONY. The Morning Chronicle, which of late seems to have observed a cautious silence on the subject of the CATHOLIC QUESTION, in re porting the fact of the commencement of this new TEMPLE Of POPERY, says this day, " we yesterday witnesed, with gratifying emotions, the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the new Roman Catholic Chapel in Moor-fields." What reason a Journalist, who professes an attachment to the Constitution of this cottony, can have for feeling " gratifying en►otions,'' tLtt a new edifice is to be erected for the promnlgation of a Rd g on, the pro lessors of which detest that Constitution, inasmuch as it is hostile to their own faith, and who would doubtless attempt to make converts by FIRE an►d swou I), if they could obtain the Ascendancy in them Realms, or annihilate the whole race of Protestants, as Hereticks, we cannot conceive. For our own part, though we wish to give full toleration t© those who are of the Roman Catholic Faith, yet we should not have witnessed, with " gratifying emotions," the commencement of this new SANCTUARY of SUPERSTITION, but rather with emotions of regret that a Religion so absurd in itself, and the votaries of which are so anxious to procure Proselytes per fas et nefas, should not have kept /lace 'with the progress of knowledge, but that in this comparatively enlightened age they should still be involved in the same darkness and bigotry as in those times when their chief means of persuasion were Emu, ToßTuas, and MASSACRE. THE LEEDS INTELLIGENCER. We have often had occasion to avail ourselves of be contents of this excellent Journal, and we be: Here that a more loyal and better -conducted Public Print dies not exist. It must be gratifying to all the wise and well-disposed part of the People to know that there is such a Journal, particularly when ,they learn that there is a rival Journal near it, which is as mischievous i❑ its views, and as des• *able in its principles, as any of the factious Journals of the Metropolis, which is saying a bold word. It appears that the Leeds Mercury published a paper entitled " The Declaration of CHARLES HEAIINS4AW,'' which, of course, was et delicious morceaa tor the London Journals of the same principles, into which it was copied. The object of this Declaration Was to charge three re- , spectahle characters, Mr. ALLEN, Mr. T. ATKIN sort, and Mr. LE BLANC, with having tamperel with this said HLARNSHAW, in order to induce bitn, by bribery and threats, to give fahe evidence on the late trials in Yorkshire, and with having actually falsified his deposition before the Magi strates. Tlic foilowing positive contradiction from one of the Gentlemt•n dins - maligned appeared it': the Leeds I►tfelligehcer of. Monday last, but by ant unhicy accident we received It too late ysterday to enable us to insert it : TO THE EDITOR OF THE LEEDS INTEL LIGENCER. " Sea,—From the manner. in which my name has been brought forward in The Leeds Mercury, of Satirday, Au gust 2, I think myself called upon to deny, most positively, that any conver-ation passed, in ary presence, of the nature alluded to in the declaration signed " CHARLES HEARN SHAW." Your insertion of this in your lutelligencer will Much oblige ;err:. " Greenhead, Aug. 2, 1817. B. HAiGH ALLEN." " Sir, your obedient Servant, If the other Gentlemen thus basely accused should not deem it proper to follow the example . e a c d r pro noses, Mr. ALLEN, by a public vindication o f th em . selves, ncises:is Edit o r next publication, o f Leedsa defend against the charge in question, The Editor theft makes some spirited and judicious remarks upon the falsehoods and artifices of The Leeds Mercury, and, after proving, Contrary to the assertion of The Mercury, that the Insurgents did not first fire, proceeds as follows : " The facts of the disturbances have been completely esta blished, though the Jury did not consider that sufficient legal proofs had been brought against the particular individ ua l s put upon their trial for life and death before them. It is established that a still greater number of persons were as sembied at the bridge than we ever stated—that more shots were fired than we particularized — and that more persons have absconded: The Times, it is true, and its unworthy co adjutors, have endeavoured, again and again, to make the whole affair ass-tie a trifling. and ludicrou s aspect., by falsely m asserting, in the face of truth, that the insurgents were dis persed by so small a force a s six yeomanry. The yeomanry, on the contrary, were )'arced to retire before the insurgents, Who, in the mean time, very pruriently decamped, before greater force was brought against them —a force, which, of course, could have cut double the number of ill-organized and ill-armed men to pieces. " But (and it is with the utmost solemnity we call the: Public attention to these concluding observations, and that we pledge ourselves for their truth) the plan and hope of the insurgents wer e, t o have marched in silence into jimiders field, after they had been Joined by the numerous other par ties of rioters, who had not yet c ome up to the bridge, when the yeomanry fell its with them ; and to have endeavoured to surprise the Military and the Civil Authorities, in which e ,,„ t th e y would ossessihave been strong enough, before morning, to have kept p on of Huddersfield for at least some days, and to hare commenced their operat i ons o f Rapine and Murder, " 011 an extensive scale. cc These, we repeat, are facts. They did not come out on the recent Trials, because the prisoners were arraigned only fur the burglary at Dyson r‘nd for the actual outrage at the bridge ; and any eirco:uvances, not directly tending to con vict tlsern of these iso.ated crimes, could nol, of course, be brought undirr the cognizance of the Jury."
