I.ON DON,
MONDAY, Aueum of,
The two unfortunate mew sibs were •sbet at
Cumberland-oate in the unhappy dispute be-
•tsiseeti the life guards awl the people, respect-
:lag the passage of the QUItIVes funeral procession
through the City, were buried yestesday at Ham-
mersmith. Some account of the proceedings con-
nected with this occurrence will be found in another
par. of our Pripet. It will be seen, that although
the funerals of the deceased drew together a
vast crowd of pc)ple, a large portion of whom pro.
hably witnessed the affray in which they lost their
lives, and may therefore be supposed to labour oat.
uer a considerable excitement of angry feeling.. yet
that, so fir as the people were concerued, there was
no disposition to disturb the public peace. We
lament, however, to find that a similar spirit did
iesot actuate the body of life guards who are sta-
tioned at Knightsbridge barrack.. The officers of
this corps had taken the precaution to have the
' gates of the barracks chided during the (lay, so that
no opprtunity might arise of placing the people
mud the obnoxious troops in collision ; but this
restraint, as it seemed, suited not the warm
tetoperament of the privates, some of whom, pro-
bably conceiving that the public funeral of these
poor men conveyed a reproach to their conduct,
contrived to sally oat of their barracks when
the procession was retorniug from Hammersmith,
and Mtn drawn sword. violently assailed the multi-
tilde. Sheriff WAITHIIAN appeared to have been
in particular an object of their valorous indignation,
for the worthy Magistrate was assaulted by two of
them. and was compelled, in defence of his life, to
exert his periwigl strength against the assailants.
This occurrence is an unfortunate elucidation of
the spirit which actuates this body of men. To
attack with drown swords so unarmed body of men
was an act as disgraceful as it was wanton—it reflects
the deepest disgrace upon the regiment, and de-
mand. the strongesoanimadversion on the part of the
Government. Indeed it is our decided impression
that after au act of so much unprovoked violence to
the people, this regiment ought not to be suffered to
remain may 'oiler in its present quarters. The
men counted upon the favour of their superiors, or
they would never have dared to violate so grossly
the laws of their country ; and in proportion as
their conduct was extravagant, they ought to he
made to feel the displeasure of those whose favour
they have so wantonly abused.

In Mir umfortunate occurrence no blame can roe-
add), fall upon the Goverinneilt or the olEcer• of
tesiturnt. In both there appealed a reserve,

roil ; hot the Home Department did not think it
necess4ry on this occasion to interfere for the pur-

pose of -kir/riot iiriaCenseq gently the
people met, and but for this untoward circumstance
would have separated without the slightest disturb-
.suce. There a no principle of government cootie
to be lamented than the one which presumes that
every large assemblage of people either is a riot by
implication or construction, or that it must neces-
sarily lead to a riot. ['mice arises that fatal
propensity which prevails so strongly in office of
employing military force on almost every occa-
sion of a popular assemblage. The presence of
inch a force, by offering the idea of violence and
compulikm, offends the people, mid is sore to lead
to the very evil which is probably sought to be pre-
vented. There exists in the minds of the
great mass of Englishmen a kiud of constitutional
.antipathy to the appearance of a military body, and
whether this arises from personal prejudice, the
vanity of freedom, or whatever other feeling,
wisdom teaches She propriety of paying some
deference to it, even for the sake of preserv-
ing the public tranquillity. The occurrences
of yesterday only add another instance to the
thousands which we have already experienced
of the inutility of a military force for maintain-
ing the public peace, and of the danger which is
likely to follow from the interference of the soldiery,
At all mots, the employment of the life guards
ought henceforward to be especially avoided. So
long as the memory or the affray at Cumberland-
gate shall remain, so long will the appearance of
the life guards excite feelings of hostility in the
populace. The presence of these troops must
therefore couuteract the purposes for which they
may be employed—tumults will occur, and the loss
of lives roust be the iuevitable consequence.

We give extracts from Madrid Papers to the
15th inst. which arrived last night. They state
that Lima, the capture of which hat been so often
repotted, still held out on the 10th of April, at
which date it was blockaded by the Patriots.

A Flanders Mail arrived last night with Papers
from D►uuels to the 24th instant. Oo the 41st
the Court went into mourning for the death of the
Qtteeu or ENGLAND. Accounts from Hambuegh
of the nth, anticipate with perfect confidence a
war between Turkey and Russia.

We have received Paris Papers of the 23d. We
are sorry to find io them what seem* to be a con-
firmation of the intelligence previously received re-
specting the appearance of the plague or yellow
fever in or near fiercelonia, and the neighbouring
provinces of Spain. The malady, whatever be its
name, is contagious, and seems to rage with great
violence. The French Government has adopted
every pamper precaution, by drawing a strong cords.
of troops to prevent the contogiuo from communi-
cating with France.
We have extracted an article from the 11lowiteur,
the purport of which us to teach the public caution
in reposing credit upon the statements that occa-
rionally appear in others of the Paris papers re-
specting the affiirs of Turkey and Greece. The
Moniteur represent' the greater part of those which
have reached us from the French capital to be the
mere fabrications of interested individuals.—There
is a curious calculation of the extent of power ex-
erri.ed by the Censors of the Preps over the Coasti•
tutionnel, from March, 1820, to August, 1821.
The Censors have within that time suppresved as
much matter as would fill more than la nuns.

The ordinary mail from Constantinople arrived
to-day, with letters to the 25th July. The silti-
maim of Russia had been delivered on the 18th,
and as the time fixed by the Emperor Alexander

very curious to know what part the Porte would
take. All the subjects of Russia had quitted

The sailors of Galasidia, a town in Doris, situated
at the entrance of the Gulf of C►ina, who are not

much ►uccess from the Dardanelles of Lepanto

we do not imagine that he will wilfully pond deliver
his head to the Janissaries, who thirst for the blood
of the Chrirtians, especially of the Greeks of the

who are reinforcing themselves at Cuustantinople,
do not think of attacking Greece. Courage and

of its ravagers, sad winter will facilitate fur the

the fortresses, where the Turks already pay enor-
mous prices for provisions.

By =coyote from Berlin of the titth, it seems
there have been serious disturbances at Dantzic, at
the beginui►►g of this month, when the military

the day before the annual fair. The Director of
the l'olice, who attempted to restore order, war very
roughly handled; the booths were pulled (fowls.

wounded, and two Jews killed.
