FEB. 7.

Notwithstanding the advantage which the Greek fleet has gained
over the Turks, it seems that the action was not general, and that
the'Greeka did not succeed in whally de-blockading 31issolonglii,
which ii closely invested by four well-armed frigates, which suffer
nothing to enter or quit that place. It even seems that the garrison
has not been supplied with provisions, as was said, by the Greek
fleet ; but that, on the contrary, it is in the greatest distress for
subsistence, which pieces it under the necessity of making a despe-
►ate effort, the real consequences of which are apprehended. The
fact in, that the most distinguished persons of the nobility of this
country have set on foot a subscription to afford the most prompt
assistance to the inhabitants of that town. Four boats, laden with
biscuit, are gone thither ; twa vessels, with similar cargoes. are
waiting at Cephalonia for a favourable moment to sail. It is
affirmed, that Canaria is commissioned to pro:ect them on their
passage, by every measure in his power. A steam boat, which
is expected on •lie 10th, is to depart immediately fur Ancona, to
bring hither a person of importance.

ROMAN EXECUTIONS.
t From the Coarrier Frawea;s.l
Several individuals, among whom were Prince Spada and other
distinguished personages, having been accused of carbonarism,
were condemned, the noblemen to imprisonment, and the others to
death. It is usual at Rome to wait till sunset before confessing the
criminals; but it seems they had not so much patience with the
carbonari, who having behaved with extraordinary resolution, were
executed at mid-day in the Plana del Popolo, much to the surprise
of those who have any knowledge of the Roman practice in such
cases. But another execution soon after produced a more profound
sensation. The criminal in this case was one of those prelates who
are not priests, and are called Monsignori. He was conducted to
the Plazzo del Popolo, and suffered there a punishment which
seems to have been inspired by a scruple similar to that of
the Bishop of Beauvais, who carried no weapon in battle but a
club, because the church, as he said, abhorred the thoughts of
blood. He was knocked down at mid-day on the Piazza del
Popolo, at the most frequented entrance of Rome, while a great
number of strangers vete arriving every instant. The executioner,
observing that the unfortunate man who had fallen under his club
still breathed, opened an artery in his neck, quartered his body, and
sent the palpitating limbs to be exposed to the gaze of the multi-
tude. ('an such a scene, detestable even in the most barbarous
ages, be still permitted to take place in the nineteenth century ?

The mend letter from NIALACIII MALAGROWTHER,
"On the proposed Change of Currency," has just
reached us. It has more venom, and is written in a tone
of still more outrageous violence, than his first epistle.
Judging from the language of the writer, one would really
think that, instead of the assimilation of the currency
north and south of the Tweed, some measure of oppression
was about to be acted against Scotland more transcendantly
dreadful than had ever roused the resentment of an ag-
grieved and persecuted people. One should be actually
led to imagine that the circulation of the blood of a Scotch-
man and the circulation of one and two-pound note, were
equally essential to his existence, and that when the latter
ceased to be current the former must come to a stop.
The renowned Sir WALT I.Rstrives as ardently to kindle
the spirit of resistance in his countrymen, as if some act
of tyranny was about to thrust them down from their pro-
per elevation, and to cut up all their political rights and
enjoyments root and branch. Ile would have all the
tribes of the North, friends and foes, Whigs and Tories,
shake hands together over all old enmities, and merge all
their mutual animosities in one common feeling against
Ministers and their metallic currency.
" Let these follies," says • the great Magician of the Age,' as
the Chancellor of the Exchequer styled him—" Let these follies
be ended, and do not let us, like our ancestors at Falkirk, fall to
jealousies among ourselves,when heart, and voice, and hand, should
be united against the foreign rwerny. I was about to erase the last
word ; but let it remain, with this explanation—that the purpose of
this invasion of our rights is acknowledged to be kind and friendly;
but as the measure is unauthorized by justice, conducted without
regard to the faith of treaties, and contrary to our national privi.
leges, we cannot but teem the enterprise a hostile one. When Henry
VIII. despatched a powerful invading army to compel the Scots to
give the hand of their young Queen Mary to his son Edward, an
old Scottish nobleman shrewdly observed, He might like the
match well enough, but could not brook the mode of wooing.' We
equally are sensible of England's gond will, we only do not relish
the mode in which it is at present exhibited.

•' The Scottish Members having thus adopted a healing ordi-
nance, reconciled their part) quarrels, or laid them aside for the
time, would by that very act decide the fate of their country, and
when drinking to concord among Scotsmen of all political opinions,
In the cup an Union shall they throw,
Metter than that which four successive kings
In Britain's crown have worn.
Thus united, Sir, their task will be a resit easy one. Let each, in
his own style, and with the degree of talent, from plain common
sense up to powerful eloquence, with which he chances to be
gifted, state to AdMinistragon the sentiments of his constituents,
and those of his own hresst; let it be perfectly understood that the
Representatives of Scotland sptak in the name of their country, and
are determined, one and all, to see the threatened and obnoxious
measure departed from, and till that lime to enter Into no public
baisiness,—l cannot help thinking that such a remonstrance, in a
case of rind importance to Scotland, and of such trifling conae.
quence to England, would be of itself perfectly sufficient. But if
not, our Representatives must stand firm. I would advise that,
to all such intimations as are usually circulated, bearing, ' That
your presence is earnestly requested on such an evening of the de.
bate, as such or such a public manure is coming on,' the concise
answer should be returned, ' We arc jot...and-forty ; ' and that
no Scottish Members do on such occasiors attend—unless It be
those who feel themselves conscientiously at liberty to top against
Governtivnt on the division. Is this expecting too much from our
countrymen, on whom we have devolved so absolutely the charge of
our sights, the duty of stating our wrongs P We exclaim to them
io the language of the eloquent Lord BIELHAVEN—: Should not
the memory of our noble predecessors' val.tur and constancy rouse

up our drooping spirits ? Are our brave ancestors' souls got so far
into the English cabbage-stock and cauliflower, that we Outdid
show the least inclination that way ? Are our eyes so blinded—
Are our masa deafened—Are our hearts so hardened—Are our
tongues so faltered—Are our hands so fetteml, that, in this our day
—I Ray, my eountrymen,in this our day, we should not mind the
things that concern the well-being, nay, the very being, of our an-
cient kingdom, oefore the day be hid from our eyes?'—lf there is,
among that chosen band, a mean_spirited Scotsman, who pre.
lets the orders of the Minister to .ho unanimous voice of his
Country, imploring the protection of her childran, let England keep
kiln to herself. Such a man is deaf even to the voice of self•inte-
rest as well and' patriotism. Ile cannot be a Scotch proprietor—
he hazards his own rents ; he cannot be a Scotchman employed in
commerce—he undermines his own trade; he cannot be a profes-
sional person—he sacrifices the law of his country ; lie cannot be a
Scottish man in spirit—he betrays the honour of Scotland. Let
Aim go nut faun: among us—he is not of us. LA. hint, I say, re-
main in England, and we wish her joy of such a denizen. bet hint
have his title and his pension—for tut cur deserves his collar and
his bone. But do not let him come back to Scotland, where his
presence will be as unwelcome to us, as our reception may be un.
gratifying to him."

lVonld not any one conclude that the altars of the
Scottish nation were about to he prostrated, and their
rights trampled under foot? Against what, after all, is this
great barrier to be erected ?—Against the introductio of
gold and silver! It is against this terrible measure that
the tocsin of alarm is sounded, and that the " Scots wha
ha'e wi' Wallace bled" are once more eallv:1 out to pro-
tect the fabric of their national independence ! The lay of
this patriotic Minstrel runs, in effect, thus:—Annihilate
the Bank of Englatel and welcome, but let our paper
currency be kept sacred ;—carry reform on your own side
the Tweed to any extent you pler.se, but on our side
let amid! notes at least be kept secure from your sacrilegious
violence ;—give us free trade if you will, afford us the
means of transporting our manufactures to all parts of the
globe, but let not his Majesty's Ministers exhibit such an
enormity against heaven and good faith as to say to the
bankers of Edinburgh, " Thus far shalt thou go, and no
further ;"—we can behold with a steady eye the distresses of
trade and the destruction of confidence in England, owing
to the excessive issue of its country bank paper, but who
can view with patient speculation an outrage offered to
a Scotch one-pound note? All the republican energies of
MALACHI MALAGROWTHER quicken and rise up within
him at the bare contemplation of it ! His patriotism
grows quite frantic—not only will he have the Scotch
Members of the Lower House desert their station and
their duty in Parliament, till they shall hare brought
Ministers to a true sense of subserviency, but he will in-
sist that the Scotch l'cers row in the same boat with the',
Commoners, and that they go down the tide of rebellion
together.
" It is needless to say, that what Scotland demands from her re-
presentatives in the !louse of Commons, she expects, with equal
confidence and ardour, front the small, but honourable portion of
the tipper House, who draw their honours from her ancient do-
mains. Their ancestors have led her armies, concluded her trea-
ties, managed her government, served her with hand and heart,
sword and pen ; and by such honourable merit with their country.
have obtained the titles and distinctions which they have transmit-
ted to the present race, by whom, we are well assured, they will be
maintained with untarnished honour. A Scottish Lord will dare
all, save what is dishonourable; and whom among them could we
suspect of deserting the l'arent of his Honours,, at the very moment
when she is calling upon him for his filial aid? Sir, 1 pledge my-
self, ere I am done, to girr such a piths; e of the impending distress
of this country, that a Scotsman, and especially a Scottish noble-
man, would need to take opium and mandragora, should he hope to
slumber, after having been accessary to bringing it on. If the voice
of the public in streets and highways did not cry shame on his de.
generacy, even inanimate objects would find a voice of reprobation.
The stones of his ancient castle would speak, and the portraits of
his ancestors would frown and look black upon him, as he wandered
in his empty halls, now deprived of the resort of the rich, and the
homage of the vassal. But I have no fear of this. A little indo..
lence—a little indifference—may have spread itself among our
young men of rank ; the prevailing fashion and fault of the
day. But the trumpet of war has always chased away such lethar.
gic huntours ; and tne cry of their common country, that invocation
which Scotland now sends forth front one end of the land to the
other, is a summons yet more imperious, and will be, 1 am confi-
dent, as promptly obeyed.
" It may be said, that the measures which I venture to recom.
mend to our Scottish representatives, of tacking, as it were, their
pe:ition of rights to every other measure, and making it, so fir as
they can, a tine qua non to their accommodation with Government,
may be the means of Interrupting the general business of the em.
pire.
" To this objection I reply, first, that I only recommend such a
line of conduct as an oltimutn rentcdium, after every other and
milder mode of seeking redress shall have been resorted to, and ex-
hausted without effect. Secondly, in case of need—it cannot be de-
nied, that the plan proposed is a parliamentary remedy, and corres-
ponds with the conduct of patriots upon former occasions, when
they conceived that the magnitude of the object in view warranted
their making the most vigorous efforts to obtain it. Thirdly, it
will not be difficult to demonstrate, that, whatever prejudice may
be suffered from a temporary delay of other business, it will be
Incalculably less than the evil, which will ivfallibly ensue upon the
obnoxious measure in question being adopted ; an evil, Oa cEct
of which cannot be confined to Scotland ague (for no component
part of the empire can have sufferings, which do not extend to the
others), but must reach England and Ireland also. When a limb
of the human body is disjointed or broken, the whole frame must
feel the effect of it.

`• But to return to the opinion of my cautious friends, who be.
lieved that the proportional number of the Scottish 31embers being
so small, compared to those of England and Ireland. no good
issue could be hoped from their exertions, however united, how.
ever zealous. I reply, that their country is entitled to expect from
them resistance in her behalf, not only while a spark of hope r .
mains, but when that last spark is extinguished. There is no
room for compromise or surrnder. Our statesmen of today must
be like our soldiers in ages past—

The letters from Ilamburgh received this morning are
dated the loth instant. The only commercial intelligence
is a slight improvement in the exchange with England.
One inconsiderable failure had taken place,—a house con-
nected with a firm in London ; the latter had suspended
payment some time ago.

There seems to be a strong impression amongst many
experienced and influential men in the City against the
proposed plan for.the funding of Exchequer Bills at this
particular period; and although we do not see what better
course the Finance Minister, under the peculiar circum-
stances of the country, could adopt, we will give
the reasons that were freely spoken of to-day in op-
position to it. It was stated, that, as far as the Ex-
chequer Bills in the hands of the public are con-
cerned, to fund them is to take out of circulation a
quantity of commercial currency—paper, which in many
instances performs the purposes of money. As far as the
Exchequer Bills in the hands of the Bank arc concerned,
to pay them off it will be necessary to withdraw for a time
from circulation money itself. The opponents of this
measure say it is not a tit time to divert the capital and at-
tention of monied men from advances for commercial pur-
poses, to which their interest would otherwise lead them.
The. Government should not go into the market to borrow,
at the moment when the difficulty of borrowing is already
too much felt in the mercantile world. Whenever opera-
tions of finance—borrowing and funding, and the like—are
conducted upon a large scale, the public, that is to say, the
great body of tax-payers, represented by the Exchequer,
suffer. It is difficult to get together sir millions for any such
operation, and in proportion to the difficulty must, of course,
be the premium or bonus to the contractors. The way, too,
in which money is got together for a particular purpose by
these persons, is by a forced sale of stock; so that, in the
very operation of collecting the money, the Government
annuities (the very commodities which the Government
sell) fall in price. This occurred on the very first notice
of the intention of funding. Hence the Government,
which sells the perpetual annuities or " stock," loses upon
the operation ; first by the low price to which the efforts of
the contractors to collect money force that stock ; and
secondly, by the premium which these contractors require
for the command of an unusually large sum of money.

Live II one, M A I:C I t.—We have experienced a steady
demand for cotton, and prices may be said to be somewhat
better; about :000 bags have been sold in the three days
of this week, chiefly to the trade, and some in bond for ex-
port.
The sales of cotton at this port in the last week were
to a greater extent than in any preceding week since the
commencement of the year, and the prices of new uplands
have somewhat advanced. It is generally remarked that
the prospects of trade are more encouraging than they
have been for some time past. The priers of produce are
low, and buyers, whether for consumption or on specula-
tion, run very little risk by purchasing. The demand,
however, is far from being brisk, and until there is an im-
provement in the markets of consumption in the interior,
we cannot expect ext-usive sales to he effected. The excel-
knee of our banking system, and the fact of our minor
currency consisting entirely of gold and Bank of England
paper, instead of local notes, have preserved us from many
of those evils which have been so severely felt in other
districts.—/ iverpoot Advertiser.
It has been remarked as extraordinary, that notwith-
standing the repeated falls which have taken place in the
price of teas at the India house sales, no proportionate re-
duction to the public has yet taken place at any of the great

MALTA, FEB. 13.—1 n grain there is much activity;
the deposit is trifling, excepting in the hands of Govern-
ment. A good quality of soft wheat is to-day worth 20se.
per Balm, or 335. per quarter, in bond. Prices will ad-
vance, as there does not appear a likelihood of any consi-
derable supplies from Egypt or the Black Sea ; and the'
Barbary States arc mostly in want, instead of being able
to export, as is generally the case. If prices of foreign
wheat are low with you, some good may be done by ship-
ping a few cargoes from England or any of the northern
ports that can furnish supplies.

SHIPWR6fK.—On Monday week, the schooner John
and Susan, from %Veils, Noifolk, laden with coals, pre-
sented herself off Scarbro' in apparent distress ; three
coble men went to her assistance, got on board, and acted
as pilots for some time ; when they were about making
the last tack for the harbour, a tremendous squall laid her
on her broadside, and in a monieut she went down. All
hands got into the oohle with the exception of a man and a
boy, and here the melancholy and heart-rending scene may
be better imagined than described; the boy sunk to rise
no more ; the man was seen swimming and endeavouring to
get to his mates in the coble; the crew in the coble were
equally anxious to save th, fellow-creature, but, alas !
all their efforts were in vain. Each party struggled until
nature was exhausted, when the poor fellow was swal-
lowed up by the sea, and his mates with difficulty got on
shore.

There are at present .541 debtors in Lancaster Castle, of

five men, two of whom discharged pistols at them; a ball
passed through Mr. Scholetield's hat, and another glanced
from a button on Mr. Burras's coat. Mr. Scholefleld's
horse took fright, and ran off with him ' • but Mr. Burras,
after a vigorous resistance, was robbed of 1341. in cash and
