The Duke of GLOUCESTER presented a similar petition
from the parish of Ring Edward's. in the county of Aberdeen.
The Bishop of LITCHFIELD presented a petition from the
noblemen. gentlemen, and other inhabitants of the county of
of Stafford, to the same effect. His Lord,hip observed thin. he
wished the colonists had acted upon the resolutions of Parliament;
but that as they had not lie would be inclined to enforce an °boll-
ence on their part ; and for any lons which West India proprietors
might suffer by the abolition of slavery, he would be disposed to
give them a fair compensation.
The Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented a similar peti-
tion from Chard, in Somersetrohire.

Lord DUDLEY and WARD presented a petition from the
agents of West India proprietors, praying their Lordships not to
pass any Act for the abolition of slavery in the West Indies, with.
dut granting a compensation to the proprietors of slaves for any
loss which they might sustain by such law. His Lordship stated
it was a property sanctioned by this country, and it was not fair to
make the colonists pay a penalty for what was not their act. The
petitioners were afrsitt the interests of those for whom they were
concerned might suffer by sonic Ltgislalive enactment; tout he was
sure they would nut be deprived of their rights without adequate
compensation.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN said he would not anticipate
the discussion which was to come on to the course of the evening,

The following letter we eatract from the Cork Constitotinot of

Mr. Hutchinson, from his deathbed

TO THE EDITOR nr THECONNTITUTTOW.

Sir—At the ilu;iiinson, your
late Representative. expressed to me a few days previous to his
death, which took place yesterday evening, I beg leave to solicit
your immediate instrion an poor paper of the enclosed Address,
which it was his wish should be forwarded to Cork as soon as he
ceased to exist.

I hare the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
A. A. HELY HUTCHINSON.
Hantpstead, August 27, 1826.
TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF CORK.

_ . .....
Gentlemen—For the first time that I recollect, I feel pain in ad-
dressing you. Aly mind has ever rejected the idea that con&
dence reposed in the father should be considered as entitling the
son to form an expectation to be himself honoured with imanr
confidence and approbation, however naturally ambitioned by
him.

I do assure you solemnly, that so much real delicacy have I
ever felt on this subject, I should never have ventured to have ad-
dressed you upon it, but that intionation has reacted me, which I
can scarcely doubt, that decl trations hare already been made by
several most respectable Interests to support my son, in the event
of the vacancy to be created by my death.
I know him to be talented--extremely well informed—and I
really believe, fully equal and entirely disposed to perform all
the duties of your Representative. I should, indeed, be quite
ashamed of him, could I entertain any doubt of his anxious desire
in this respect.
At such a moment, when addressing you for the last time, and,
as I conceive, from my death-bed, It is the hardiest thing from my
intention to make any ungenerous, unreasonable, appeal to your
affections • •
I should be miserable, !mind. did I see reason to apprehend
that my death would cause the revival of party feuds. or renew
those dissensions amongst the most respectable families, which lead
to such lasting and painful results.
If ever I addressed you, as 1 often have, army most generous
friends and benefactors, you will not doubt the sincerity with which
I repeat these epithets on the present solmn occasion !
1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
With "inert* affection. sour greatly indebted

GREEK DEPUI lES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRES&
September, ifl
Sta—The articles of biography which you have lately
published, respecting the Greek Deputies, must assuredly
emanate from some hired pen, which records, not what
the writer knows, but what those who employed it require,
But it would have been well to have given a shadow
or ;
semblance of truth to its statements by announcing to the
public the source whence they were derived.
It would have been well if the writer, instead of jour.
neying to distant countries which he is unacquainted with,
had said something of the history of the gentlemen con-
cerned in a country nearer home. Had lie done this, the
value of his facts might have been estimated; as it is, the
object seems merely to outrage the feelings of one of the
Deputies, by contrasting him with the others. That De-
puty might, if he pleased, deny formally the facts stated
respecting him ; but he would prefer that, instead of a
frivolous personal inquiry, you would invite him to give
some account of the circumstances which have distinguished
the public career of the Greek Deputies in this country.
What have they done to save their native land ? flow have
they employed the resources intrusted to them by British
liberality? Do they deserve the applause or the censure
of those who have advocated the cause of Greece? And
have they obtained the good opinion —slay, rather are they
not the object of the universal execration—of the Greet
people ?
This would have served the cause ; and as it has bees ea
grievously injured by mismanagement, and by the wants(
a popular and an efficient control, so I believe the day is
not tar distant when the mystery which hangs over certain
transactions will be removed ; and then it will he seen how
the dearest interests of Greece have been sacrificed; and
some additional sympathy will be felt towards an innocent
and unjustly-vituperated nation, when it is discovered that
her misfortunes have not been the consequence of the vices
imputed to her.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,

WESTMEATH POLITICS.

Among the many ill effects flowing from the unconstitutional in-
terference of the Roman Catholic Priesthood at the late election is
that of having extinguished the kind indulgent feeling, and suit-
able gratitude, that hitherto subsisted between landlord and tenant
in this country, of which the following instance comes through our
usual channels of information :
On filonday, July 24, an auction took place in the town of Kil-
beggar', in this county, of cattle seized as distress for rent due to
Haynes W. Batteritty. of Ballard, E.g. Previous to the sale, Mr.
Bauersby was accosted, in an apparently friendly manner, by the
Rev. lir. Cantwell, P. P. of Kilbeggan, who observed, that he
hoped, foe Mr. Biutersby's own sake, he would not proceed to sell
the cattle. Mr. Batteraby replied, that he should be better pleased
to get his rent without resorting to that unpleasant alternative; and
notwithstanding the ingratitude he had recently experienced, if the
owner wished him to put off the sale, to affonl time to make up the
rent, he had no objection to defer it. Mr. Cantwell said, that this
seizure was made in the spirit of revenge, for the part those persons
took in the late election ; and which proceeding lie characterised as
a system of tyranny and opprewrion over liberty of conscience—
that 21r. Batteraby would regret this step all lila life, and his son
after hint. and that it would tend to the injury of those who voted
for Mr. Dattersby's friends—but those men should not want sup-
port, as he (Mr. Cantwell) has extensive firm!'a at his disposal, to
defend oppressed tenants against their tyrannical I...ndloids. Mr.
Battersby protested against Mr. Cantwell using such language in
the hearing of persons too well inclined to commit acts of outrage
at the sligMest excitement, and observed, that he was glad to find
his tenants had got so good a hanker, as they might have occasion
to draw again. file. Cantwell replied. although his resources were
ample, yet lie was not at liberty to employ them until Mr. Battersby
proceeded to sell, in which ease he would be attended by the curse
of every Catholic in the evisully, mid it would be followed up by
prosecutions under the direction of eminent counsel, naming Mr.
O'Connell. Mr. Batteraby replied, that when forced to do an act
of justice to himself, he would rot be diverted from his purpose by
idle impotent curses. lie did not question Mr. O'Cornell's abi-
lities as a lawyer, but trusted he could not yet alter the law of the
land.

The cattle were accordingly put up to cant, and knocked down to 11
Mr. Cantwell, who paid the rent demanded, and desired the owner
to take them home. The sale took place in the market-square,
surrounded by a mob of about two hundred persons, who indulged
in many taunting expressions; however, no actual violence occur-
red, and the scene closed with a huzz," for " Tuft° and Religion
for ever !"
Time will show who are to be lords of the soll—theiprieste or
the landlords.—lnstnteath Journal.

BRUSSELS, Sm. 2.

It Is confidently and positively reported here, that the Count de
Celles, Member of the Second Chamber of the States General. and
Ancient Prefet under Napoleon at Amsterdam, is to go to Rome
in quality of Extraordinary Ambassador of the Netherlands, in
order to conclude a Concordat with the Holy S e. You will re-
member that the same personage made, last Spring, a journey to
Italy, with the special mission, as it was then rumoured, to open
negotiations with the Roman Court, and that lie came back about
two months ago with an autograph letter front the Pope to the
King, who sent his answer by a courier despatched the next day.
Well-informed people affirm, that the gentleman who is to SWlM-
pan, M. de Cents, in quality of Seen tory of Embassy, has al-
ready arrived from the Hague at Brussels, in order to make pre-
partition for his departure. They add, that all the obstacles which
opposed the conclusion of a Concordat will be removed, and that,
as to some points, the execution of which ix rather difficult, the
Holy Father will content himself with promises, following in this
the example given by several of his predecessors.
The King has not yet arrived here : he eduinnes at the Hague.
where Prince Frederick likewise arrived last Thursday.
We have received here the Batavia's Cossront of the sth of April,
seven days later titan our former arrival.. This number contains
an Onlinance of the Commissary General, dated the 29th of March.
The object is to promote agriculture, to introduce new branches of
! cultivation, to establish a survey of those existing, and to give rise
to a free system of culture. To accomplish these objects. there
will be formed in the capital of the Colony a General Commission,
presided over by the chief of the administration, and in every Resi-
dence a Special Commission, under the direction of the Resident,
and nine Members taken from among the principal planters and
landed proprietors.
The dry weather, from which we have suffered during the last
two months, has at length ceased. and we have had for some days
past abundant rains, which give hope that the winter potato crop
will be less unfavourable than was expected.
The monument erected to the memory of ewe of the incestors
of our reigning dynasty, the Count Adolph of Nassau, who was
killed in the year 1521, in a battle he fought near Groningen, for
the liber.y of the United Provinces, was unenvered on the birth-
day of the King. It stands on the same place where this patriotic
hero felt, near a ruined convent, called not tem from
Groningen. It consists of one obelisk on a pedestal, ten yards
high, surmounted by an urn. The ceremony of its uncovering
took place with much pomp and solemnity, amid repeated cries of
" bong live the King !"
