At the death of ,Ella, the founder of the koug.lom of Mira.
Edilfrid, who had married his daughter. took possession of
hie dominions. /Ella bad left a male child of the name of
Edwin. about three years old, who was conve)ed beyond the
reach of the tyrant. and iairrested to the protection of Cad.
vim, the King of North Wales. The hospitable of the
British Prince drew on him the vengeareer of the Northusn•
Arian ; end lite two armies met in the vicinity of Chester.
On the summit of a Pleighbotosing hill Fall* 4 copied nn
lett crowd, the monks of Bangor, who, like Moses in
the wilderueee, had hoped by their prayers ko rife the.
tate of Ilse battle. "If they pray," exciaheM Parrt.
"they also fight against es," amid orderedalf nt of
his array to put them In tbe sword. Victory was, a. wattal,
Hue SO his standard. Chester was taken and Rancor demo:
limbed. Its scattered ruins demonstrated to subsequent ge-
neralities the extent of that celebrated monastery.
The sou of /Ella, who was incessantly harassed by the
jealousy of EAdfrid, +widened from tire hospitable mansion
of Cadvau through the different principalities of the Britoil.
and Saxons. Al last he found an asylum in Ow Court of
Redwairl. Thr fidelity of that Prince was immediately at-
tempted to he shaken by the threats and promises of
hid: mad after a long straggle he preferred the friendship of
a powerful monarch to the danger of protecting a solitary
exile. On the very reclaim, while the Council deliltelated
on his fate, Edwin was sitting alone in Ow dark at the gate
of the palace, when a friendly voice whispered in his ear
that it was time to fly ; for the King had given his assentio
the demands of his esteem!. " I hare known too murk mi-
sery," replied the Prinrr, "to be mimes fur life. If I must
die, no death can be more acceptable than that which is in.
Aided by royal treachery." He remained in the same place
musing on his melancholy situation, wheel a favourable
dream, which bad considerable influence on his subsequent
condect, afforded him a faint gleam ..f hope, nail his
friend, stealing to him a second time, informed hint that be
was safe. The solicitations of the Queen had overcome the
perfidious resolve of her husband.

The moment Redwatd determined to reject the proposals
of Edilfrid, he saw the Necessity of anticipating Ina resent-
ment. The Northumbrian, with a small body of followers,
was. hastening to surprise his enemy, when Ire was met by
the whole of the East-Anglian barges on the right bank of
the !del, in Nottinghamshire. They were skilfully (su we
are told) arrayed in three bodies: and their helmets, spears,
slid banners, gave them a martial and formidable appear.
sure. Edilfrid, though disconcerted, scorned to retire; and
rushing on the first division, destroyed it with its leader,
Ralrenheri or Rainer, the son of Redwald. But the North-
umbrisna were quickly trampled under foot by the multi-
tude of the East-Anglians; ■nd the King, having opened
with his sword a way into the midst of his enemies, fell on
the bodies of those whom he had slain. The conquerors
hastened to improve their advantage. By the men of Deira
Edwin was received wit► acclamations of joy: the c►ildren
of Edilfrid lied into the north of the island ; and the Renal-
glans submitted cheerfully to the good fortune of the sort
of /Ella. Redwald, having placed his friend on the Ignited
throne of the two kingdoms, returned in humph to his
doudeloses.

REIGN OF EDWIN, 618.
The martini genies of Edillfrid hod raised Northembris to
an equality with the most powerful of the Anglo-S*3mo,
states: under the pererusnent of Edwin it assumed a marked
superiority, and conferred the title of Bretwalda on hi.,,
and his immediate successors. The mein by which lie as_
eroded to this pre-eminence, are not recorded: but the his.
tory of his conversion to Christianity has bees preserved by
the pen of theynierable Bede.
_

In. the ninth year of his reign Edwin had married Edit-
berg*, the daughter ortibelbert, the deceased King of
Kent. The zeal of Eadbald had prey/Mealy stipulated that
his sister should enjoy the free exereiseof her religion: and
bad obtained from Edwin a promise that he would himself
examine the evidasees of the Christian faith. The Queen
was accompanied by Notions, a Roman missionary, who
had lately received the episcopal consecration. The King
faithfully observed his word: but, though he made nu at.
tempt to alter the faith of Edilberga, he chewed no inclina-
tion to embrace it himself. It was in vain that Paulson,
preached, that the Queen entreated, that Pope Ilunifare
seat letters and presents. Edwin appeared immoveably at.
lathed to the worship of hie fathers.
The kingdom of Wessex was now governed by two Prince*,
Caielielm sad Cynegils, the successors of Ceolwulf. They
bore with impatience the superiority assumed by Edwin;
and, unable to contend with lon in the Aeld, attempted to
remove him by initialisation. Fmaier, in quality of an
envoy from Cuichelas, demanded an audience of Edwin.
He bad concealed wader his clothes a two-edged dagger,
which hail been previously dipped in poison : and while the
King earnestly listened to his discourse, the assassin aimed
a desperate blow at him breast. His design did not escape
the eye of the faithful Lillis, who threw himself between
Edwin and the dagger, and fell dead at the feet of his mas.
ter. So great was the fume of the stroke, that the King
was wounded through the body of his attendant. Every
sword was instantly drawn: but Emner defended himself
with such desperate courage, that lie killed Froilheri, an-
other thane, before he was overpowered by numbers.
The preceding night Edilherga had been delivered of •
daugbter,and Edwin' publicly returned thanks to the gods
fur his owe preservation, and the health of his consort.
Peahens did nut omit the opportunity of ascribing both
events to the protection of Christ, whose resurrection from
the grave had been that very day celebrated by the (toren.
His discourse made impression on the mind of the King,
wbo permitted him to baptize his daughter, and promised
to become a Christian, if be returned victorious fruits his
meditated expedition against the perfidious King of
Wessex.

At the head of a powerful army, Edwin marched against
his enemies. The two brothers were defeated; five of the
lVest.Sation chieftains fell is the battle ; and the country
•as pillaged by the victors. Having satisfied bis reseutment,
the King returned to Northumbria, and was rc led of
his promise by Petitions. From that moment he abstained
from the worship of his gods: though he still hesitated to
embrace elitist eau ity. He consulted alternately his priests and
the missionary, and revolved to solitude their 'Tredve ar-
Rummel:its. His mind was strongly indoesiced by the rccul.
lection of his dream in East-Anglia; and as .t hail been
fulfilled in every other particular, $1 became hie ditty to ac-
contpl•sh it by becoming • Christian. Having taken his
resolution, be called au assembly sat' his wilco or couusellurs,
and required each to state his seistionenta on the subject.
The first, who ventured to speak, was Coati, the high-priest,
who, instead of opposing, advised the adoption of the toreizn
airship. His motive was singular. No one, he said, had
served the gods more assiduously Mau himself, and vet
few bad been less fortunate. He was weary of (Seidel',
who were so indifferent or so ungrateful, and would
willingly try hi. fortune ander the now religion. To
this profoisud theologian succeeded a thane, whose dis-
course, while it proves the good score of the speaker,
exhibits a striking picture of national snanwers.--a-

PARIS, JULY 17.

Yesterday the King transacted business at St.
Cloud with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. His
Majesty went out at three o'clock in an open car-
nage, and returned to Si. Cloud at half past live.
The following is a statement of the charges which
are made against M. Bavnux
" On the 22d June his course of lectures began to
some agitation among the Students. Certain
passages, applauded by some, were censured by
others. The beadle, Blonde:1u, apprised M. De-
lincourt, Dean of the Faculty, of this, who wrote
to M. 114VOUX to coldhie him*, If within the bounds
of the instruction with wl.icis lie was charged.
This letter from the Dean, elated the 24.11, was
sent in the morning before the time of lecture to
Bavolix, but notwithstanding this intimation lie
persisted in the same course. lie was applauded

" On the 26:h the same disagreement appeared
r'sprciing the opinions of the Professor; he re-
-471:e•dr41 his partisans to cease their applause, and
tne hissers to depart. The agitation iacreased, 30(1

M. Baotou* protests against this ; very animated
words pass between him and the Dean ; the latter
threatened and insulted, willidraws.
" June 30.—A tumult outside the ball.
" July I.—New tumults, on which proceedings
ate instituted in the Court of Premiere Instance.
" The manuscript seised by M. Niacin', et the
liaise of M. Bayous, and given up by the latter,
after some difficulty, having been examined, is
tumid not to contain the passages pronounced by
ham in the chair, and of which the witnesses have
deposed.
But a kill copy of a lecture, writtewby M.
Bayeux, although covered with erasures, has pre-
stilted a greet number of charges against the Pro-
fessor."
Throe charges have appeared such, that the
Cltalitlrer of Accusation sent him yesterday before
the Count of Assizes.

LON DON,
WEDNESDAY, Jui.T 21, 1319.

A representation, shriving the impoverished con-
dition of the 1111111silatitirmg interests throughout
Germany, and eriggesteig the probable Means of
preserving
addressed to the several German Governments.
breathing that spirit of national and commercial
jealousy towards this country, which, since the ter-
mination of the late war, has strongly prevailed in
Germany, the Netherlands. and other parts of
Europe. This paper attributes the decline of the
German manuf.ictures, and all the evils thence
arising, to the commercial monopoly establish-
ed by Great Britain, in co►►sequence of her
maritime-superiority dunng the war, the extent
of her capitals the employmeirt of machinery,
and, above all, to her jealous exclusion of all
foreign manufactures from her markets, if they
could be supposed towable of competing with the
produce of domestic industry. It then suggests,
us a Enemas of correcting the evil, that all muttons
duties, laird and water tolls, and transit duties.
should be token sway throughout all Germany,
except at the frontiers; that a system of retaliation
against foreign countries 'load be adopted; and
that the manufactures of England and other
notions not acknowledging the principle of mei.
procity, should be subject to a duty of 50 per
cent. 46 which is justice ought to he coritmit.d to-
wards England for IS years."—We entertain' no
doubt that the manufacturers in Germsny are. and
for some time have berry. suffering severe distress;
but we would thick it somewhat too difficult a task
for the author of this representation to prove. that
the introduction of cheaper and better articles of
manufacture into Germany than could he pro-
duced by German artists, can be of any disservice
to the consumers and purchasers of those 'articles—
or, irs other words, to more than nine-tenths of the
Inlay of the people. Evers by his own shrwiug, if
all the manufactures of Germany affected by the
introduction of Bii;ists cormuodities were totally
' annihilated, riot more than one million of persons
would be deprived of their ordinary means of sub-
, eistence. Let it not, however, be imputed to us,
that, in milking this calculatimi, we mean to treat
with, indifference the suffering's of any portion of
our fellow-creatures; but it will be for the Go-
vernments of Germany to determine whether it
uuuld be wise policy to sacrifice the interests of
their Stairs iu general to the partial advantages of
comparatively so small a portion of their subjects.
Nothing can be more absurd and fallacious tloru the
supposinots that the prosperity of a State must
be sought by manufactures only ; all cannot be
buyers of the same commodities. With as
much
propriety might the people of every country seek
to cultivate vineyards, or sugar-emirs, or tea,
or coffee, without regarding the peculiar ciictim-
stalices that give to one people an advantage
over others ; with as much propriety might every
iiiili‘idual in • State engage in the sante trade air '
occupation, and hope to live upon the wants of his
neighbours. The manufacturers of Germany and
other places are of course very justifiable ill en-
deavouring to impress upon their respective GO..
verionents the necessity of imposing restrictive
duties upon foreign commodities; but every Go-
vernment ought to be aware, that • duty upon
the importation of foreign articles of consump-
tion operates uniformly as a tax upon the pro-
ductive powers of its own couritry. It is not treat-
ing the landed proprietor, the farmer, the ca-
pitalist, or the mercantile part of the community,
fairly, to compel them to purchase whatever arti-
cles they might require fur consumption, or the
purposes of trade, at a far dearer rate and of on
inferior quality than they might procure them in
other places. We trust the tune is not far distant
when the principle of restrictions, protecting du.
ties, and bounties, with all the absurdities and
errors of the old mercantile system, will he ex-
ploded in every commercial country; and in pro.
portion as the advantages of a general intercourse
among nations become better appreciated, that
commerce will be rendered as free as its blessings
are unlimited. It becomes England to set the
example of reducing this theory to practice. We
can fear nothing in the present state of trade from
the rivalry of other nations, we may therefore make
the experiment with safety. The far greater part
of our restrictive system is nnw altogether minters-
sary, arid can be attended with► no other result than
that of affording to foreigners uu excuse for reta-
liating upon us our own practice, and thereby sub-

jesting our manufacturers to vexatious duties, or
totally excluding them from mgrk•ta whew. from
their cheapness and excellence. they must be •uc-
cessful.

The Meeting to be held .this day in Smithfield
has excited great expectation. A very powerful
civil force will be on duty snider the civic author's-
tie!, and the military will be stationed in conve-
nient points ready to act should their service* be
required. Orders have been isvued fur the whole of
the bittalion of Guards now on duty at the Tower
to ►emain within the garrison.

A letter received ye,terday from Lancashire
states. that some dieutfccttd ',tpir in that county
are maisufacturing hike,, and that parties are regu-
larly organized and drilled after the manner of the
Luddites.

A report prevailed yesterday. that n parts• of rind-
contents having waited upon Earl FITZWILLIAM
with on iddresa, one of t hein drew out a pistol with
which be fired at his Lortbilip, and killed him on
the allot. We have in ole the turi.t diligent inquiry.
and from every information which we received up to
the latest hour I4st night, we have gratiud to believe
_that this report is toted; destitute of fonwlation.
Neithe► his domestics at Ins I ein town, nor
any of his Lord•hip's friend•, whom we have lied
an opportunity of consulting. have received any
such intelligence. The list accounts from Votk-
shire left him at his post in the discharge of his
duty as Lord Lieutenant or the county, a eau*. j
Lion consistent with the act of receiving an ad.
urns from the teal-contents, and we admit that
his Lordship's public worth and private virtues
would afford no security against O.! arm of ■ fa-
natic; but we repeat, with pleasure, that we have not
