Diseansut. Sitiswnec•.—A seaman named Francis OlforJ,
belonging to Polperro, has recently returned to his native place.
having lost both his legs, and being otherwise in a pitiable state of
distress. The following account is given by the poor fellow of the
cause of his calamity :—On the 3d of April, 11123, he sailed from
Plymouth, in the brig Mcunt.stone, Coleman, master, bound
for St. John's, Newfoundland. The crew consisted of the muter.
Samuel Longmaid, the mate, three seamen, Olfbrd, Cost. raut
Dingle, and a cabin-boy. They had on board, beside, Mr. Hodge.
the owner of the vessel, and his son, a lad about seventeen years it
age, and Mr. Rothwell, a paysenger. They had a rather favourable
passage until the 7th of May, when, during the prevalence to a
dense fog, and whilst the vessel was sailing at the rate of eight
knots an hour, they struck against a body of ice that was level
with the surface of the water. The shock was so severe that the
vessel was stove in, and after a vain attempt to stop the halt.
they were forced to get into the boat, without being abh to rave
• morsel of food, a drop of water, or an artic:e of clothing but
what they had on, and push from the ship, which was rapidly
sinking. Soon after leaving the vessel she went down, and they
proceeded to make the best of their way towards the lard, tract
which they were three hundred miles distant. They continued to row
for three days. when being completely exhausted by fatigue. hun-
ger, thirst, and cold, '
they were compelled to desist, and resigtoog
themselves to their fate they allowed the boat to (hive before the
sea. On the fifth day Mr. Rothwell, the passenger, expired; Ok
tie seventh day young }lodge, the owner's son died ; his lather, a
few hours after, shared the same fate; and was speedily lot:pyre/
by Cost and Dingle (the two seamen), the mate, and the boy, leav-
ing only the master and Olford alive, but reduced to the last state
of weakness. On the 17th of May, ten days after quitting :X.::
3lotint-stene, they were observed by a vessel belonging to }d-
vermin!, on board of which they were taken, and mated with clay
attention their deplorable state required. The next day they were
landed about a hundred miles front St. John's, where they olitnined
medical assistance. In consequence of his feet being trest.hitte:i
whilst in the boat, Oxford I:ad them amputated a little above th-
wacks. In the month of October he was sent to St. John's to ob-
tain a passage home: whilst there it was found necessary again to
amputate has legs a hale below the knees. After re-coveting from
this second operation, he was sent home. anal has at !meth knelled
iris native place in the state already described.— rest RI ih.n.
Emoswaeces WlllTllY.—Wednesday List it rained Ina-
wily all day at Whitby, which caused a great fresh in the river.
Several shocks of oats and barley were washed down the country
and went to sea. The wind all day was very variable, vevra ,r from
north to south-cast. About five in the afternoon several vessels
came from the harbour. The brig Anthwait, of Sunderland, Oat!,
waite, coal-laden, struck against the east pier, and itnintsluttly
sunk. At the time she was at the pier head it was blowing stror.,.:
from the S.E. by E. The tide bowing fast into the harbour, w...
met by a strong fresh running out, which caused a treinendu.lS Sr..
Th.: vessel was coming fair for the harbour, but just as t•he eas
passing the thee the wind went sudderdy round, and the fresh driving
lice against the east pier, she be:ante water-logged, and wee spt
ily a complete wreck. The crew, five in number, were saved
by throwing ropes from the pier on board the veosel. berme Al
the life-boat reached her. One man saved a parcel of hi
clothes, and that was all that was rescued from the wreck. On
Thursday morning a sloop.rigged vassal was seen to pa dois
about a quarter of a mile from Whitby Pier. Three people were
seen in the rigging, all of w hom were drowned ; and the 114041.,
wife is also supposed to have been on board. She had Ike:. sv-iter.
logged, and in making the harbour. upset. The sailors scramble.l
up her sides for safety ; hut she righted again. when they were all
washed off, and were seen no more. The vessel sunk ta. the hot-
toui. het mast and yard sticking out of the water: We understand
the life-boat in this case could have been of no tire but if it contd.
it could not have been got at for some time. Great tbasaciatat -
tion is expressed at M littby against those who have the charge of
it, at its trot being ready when wanted ; and we learn that some in-
quiry will take place into the circumstance. The vessel is sup•
posed to be a Humber keel.—Yorkshire Gazette.

LONDON, IVEDNESDAY, SerrLmsea 15, 1821.

The important but long•expectcd intelligence of the
demi, e of Loris XVIII. was yesterday received b.: Ex-
press from Paris. Exhausted by the gradual decay of
nature, it appears that this mild and amiable Prince ex-
pired serenely, amidst the unfeigned regret cf his family,
and we bare no doubt to the deep concern of the great
'mass of hic, subjects. The theatres were closed, and every
respectful mark of public grief was manifested with be-
coming loyalty. Now that Loess is numbered with the
dead, according to the usual injustice of mankind towards
eminent persons, reluctant homage will be rendered to his
virtues. In private life he was kind, cheerful, affable, and
beneficent. Ile was well versed in classical literature, and
his conversation, even under the heaviest and latest pressure
of his bodily afflictions, was gay, animated, and agreeable.
No man ever watched the approach of death with more
fortitude, or resigned himself to it with more apparent
consciousness that he had well performed his part
on this sublunary stage. During his last illness, which
be knew would terminate fatally, he betrayed no appre-
hension:: of the awful moment which was to separate
him from the world. He contemplated the solemn
re; re with those profound sentiments of religious
devotion which he had always cherished, but without at
any time suffering them to degenerate into superstition.
More than once, when his immediate attendants had mis-
taken the fits of lethargy into which he used to sink,
fur a cessation of the functions of life, the recovered
Monarch has amused himself, and astonished them, by
suddenly opening his eyes and laughing at their alarms.
'fleet was an entire absence of all that peevish impatience
*Lich usually makes the pillow of sickness as painful to
the attendants as to the sufferer himself. Levis ;lied as he
bail lived—in pious and tranquil confidence in thegoodm ss
of his Creator. Passing from his private character, about
which there can be no dispute, to his political conduct, we
shill, we think, not miscalculate, if we reckon on obtain-
ing, in favour of the late King of FRANCE, the suffrages of
all those who have attentively observed his course, and
considered the difficulties by which he has been surrounded.
Without going into an historical analysis of his life, we
may refer to his temperate proceedings during the period
ion, and to the wise and
unfortunate brother, as
; political views. and the
ruts XVI. fell the victim
i and the intrigues of
danger threatened them.
de FROViNCE, but ac-
the French Court, u ;he

the Revolui

next brother of the reigning Sovereio, simply styled
Mot:sir ua, adhered to the fortunes of his•brother,-until
he was nearly entrapped in the atrocious plot for the
extermination of the House of Bourbon, which was
afterwards canicd into effect against Louis XVI.,
his Queen, his Sister, and his Son ; not to mention his
abandoned relative, who, notwithstanding his nickname of
EG• LITE, was doomed to expiate with his blood the crime
of his descent from the illustrious line which he had
in vain dishonoured, and the last heir of which he had,
in violation of the tics of nature, assisted to send to the
scaffold! The conduct of Louts XVIII. during the criti-
cal period to which we allude, was firm, liberal, and con-
sistent. While he strenuously maintained the propriety
of leaving the just rights and necessary prerogatives of -the
Crown untouched, he avowed himself favourable to an ex-
tension of the power of the States-General, suitable to the
spirit of the times and the wants of the people. The
extreme parties, however, who were each anxious to
decide the question by force, rendered abortive the conci-
liatory course pursued by Moxsteus and his friends.
Violence was called in aid of the revolution. The reign
of terror ensued, and molten:time was declared an offence
punishable with death. The foundations of society were
uprooted, and the noble and the wealthy Were proscribed
and murdered. The profligate democracy of France was'
at length, according to the eternal law of revolutions, suc-
ceeded by a military despotism. The Usurper, desirous to
strengthen and sanctify his title by procuring the abdica-
tion of Louts XVIII., who was then living in retirement
at Warsaw, met with a signal repulse from the KING, on
an overture made to him for the renunciation of his regal
rights. The undeviating firmness of Loos's character was
strikingly displayed in that memorable transaction. By all
Europe, at that time, the restoration of the Bourbons was
considered as almost hopeless; but the sense of dignity.
which belonged to the KING forbade him to barter away
the honours of his house. In 1814 Louts ascended the
throne of his ancestors. A veil of oblivion was thtown
over all the deeds of the Revolution, and a coustitu-
tional charter granted to the French people. For the
first time in the history of the world, a restored Mo-
narch was seen to place himself in his scat, as if he
had returned from a tour of pleasure. Unmixed joy
welcomed him to his capital. No punishment followed
the resumption of authority by the successor of two
Kings, his nearest relatives, who had perished in the
hands of the revolutionists. A daring enterprise drove the
Boutzaoss again from their country. They re-entered it
at the bead of 200,000 foreign soldiers. The military ad-
herents of the Chief who bad ruled France for twelve
years were destroyed, and Louts XVIII. was invested
with full sovereignty. Of all those who must, as men,
have been deeply obnoxious to him, only the regicides who
had taken part in the last rebellion were punished by ex-
patriation. A few suffered the highest penalties of the law,
but most were again generously forgiven. We dwell with
peculiar pleasure on the clemency which distinguished the
departed Monarch, as that essential feature which shone
the brightest among his virtues, which most became his ex-
alted station, but which, nevertheless, to most men in his
situation, and with his memory, it would have been, of all
others, the most difficult to exercise. We do not seek to
palliate the evil acts which must be charged to Lou ts'a
Government, and especially the invasion of Spain ; but
justice requires that we should look at the position in which
be stood with regard to all the parties. He must have had
a bitter abhorrence of revolutions ; and bound up as be was
with the Holy Alliance, and committed by the rashness of
CHATFAL'IRIAND, it was, perhaps, impossible for him
altogether to avoid it. The peremptory refusal of the
Spanish Cones to listen to any terms, and to avail them-
selves of the mediation of the British Government, also
precipitated the war. That Louts was sincerely desirous
to govern France by the mildest measures, and forward
the perfection of her Constitutional Institutions, was
proved by his attachment to the administration of llt
CASE. If at last the KING was overbotne by the com-
bined forces of the extreme parties, and threw himself
into the arms of his old Royalist friends, who had shared
his exile and partaken of all the vicissitudes of his
fortune, can we feel surprised, or ought the French Liberals
to complain, because their success against Ds CAZE drove
the K leo to call around him Ministers less likely to ex-
pose themselves to the power of public opinion ? It was
not in human nature that Louts should choose his Mi-
nisters among the friends of the Regicides. All those who
enjoyed his esteem and affection were strongly adverse to
the liberality of his political conduct. Ho had, indeed,
, great and conflicting difficulties to obviate; and a calm and
dispassionate review of his reign will show that he knew
as well as soy man how to pass through the quick-
sands of politics, and discharge the important duties of
his station, with a greater regard to the welfare of his sub-
jects than upon the whole generally characterises the public
career of sovereigns. The Count WART ots, who has suc-
ceeded his brother as Cit riots X., enters upon his reign
under auspices the must favourable. His son, the Duke I
O'ANGOELL/4E, now• the DAUI'IIIN of FRANCE, is popular
with the army. The Spanish campaign flattens' the
military pride of the French, and greatly reconciled them
to the reigning House. The new KING has a plain and
easy path before him, if lie choose to walk in it. If fuel
projects of the Ecclesiastics, to whose influence he is nom-
r'ously much subject, should induce him to attempt any
violent inroads on the civil and religions liberties of France,
future trouble and confusion will yet be the portion of
that country. It is tio favourable indication of the public
' :pinion that the Bente): fell t per cent. on the annunciation
!of the decease of Lori a XVIII., towards whom, at the
same time, the decline of the public funds operates as a',
posthumous complinient. •

Papers, not in the train or under the influence
of the Ministry, continue to shew ample proofs of the
power and activity of the censorship. Scarcely one of these,
Journals appears without at 'mat one blank space, from
which some ofilmsive article has been removed by order of I
the censors. An Evening Paper of yesterday suggests that!
the French Government should " insist that other matter
should be ready, to supply the place of what might be re-
jected, so that three unsightly chasms, which speak so
plaiLly to the eye, may be avoided." As we hold that the
nectssity for subjecting the Press to a previous censorship
can under no circumstances be maintained, we cauno: view
but with disapprobation these suggestions for the more
iffectnal exercise of an authority, whieir, in our opinion,
ought not to exist. It ill becomes the free press of England
to point out bow the shackles of the French press may be
Inure closely riveted. Erin if the articles prepared were'
" such as arc known to be inadmissible," we do not see
why the Editors are not to be at liberty to leave blank the
space which they arc not allowed to fill as thy like. Be_
sides, it might happen that if they bad prepared ts‘ieu as
much matter as their papers would contain, the supple-
mentary articles might be as little to the taste of the censors
as those already expunged. The next step would be, in
the natural progress of things, to give the censors the
right el itoe:t tins, ir. of what l;s:•y bad erased, such

;other matter as they judged more fitting for circulation
amongst the subjects of his Most Christian Majesty. The
suggested remedy for the " unsightly chasms" is, there-
fore, inapplicable and incomplete. In fact, a censor-
ship over the journals of a country like France,—
advanced as she is in knowledge and civilization,—
cannot co-exist with the improved institutions she now
possesses. The French people, if they are to have any
share or interest in the management of public affairs, must
know by means of a free press what is the true character
of the acts of their Government. A representative branch

of the Legislature, and a press that cannot utter a word
displeasing to the delicate ears of mot in authority, are
incompatible with each other. One of them must soon be
abolished ; and it is easy to foresee, that if the representa-
tive and judicial institutions of France be subverted, the,
political calm that now happily prevails in that country, is
not destined to be of long duration. The assumption,
however, that " such articles are prepared as are known to
be inadmissible," in order that "a feeling may be created
that all intelligence and all reasoning worth reading are
prohilfiteal," is, we believe, wholly groundless; and we
must say, at the same time, a most unfair imputation
against the French journalists. It is not their interest
to send forth blank sheets. However a certain portion of
the public might, fur a time, sym?athise with them as to
the oppression beneath which they were sinking, the
consequence of these vacancies, often repeated, would be
a material reduction of the sale of the paper. But we are
not compelled to rely upon inference. We have facts
which disprove the imputation. We have, through our
private Correspondent, given publicity to several pieces
which have been condemned by the censors; and we would
appeal to any impartial arbiter whether any one of those
pieces was so decidedly offensive in its style and composi-
tion that it might beforehand have been known to be in-
admissible ? it would be very pretty amusement, doubt-
less, to write articles in order to have them rejected ; but
we are afraid it would be too ruinously expensive to a
public journalist to induce him to persevere many days in
such a luxury. lie would soon be taught to feel the truth
of the old adage--Qaelynoluis k jes se mat pas la
chandelle.

We arc assured, on the best authority, that the new Nea-'
poli tan Loan is intended wholly and exclusively for the use of
the King of Nap Ls,. It will be applied to discharge the cost
of the maintenance of the Austrian troops, and some in-,
ternal improvements in Sicily. The notion that any part of
the proceeds will pass into the possession of the King of
SPAIN is quite groundless. The observations we made re-
specting this loan were founded on the-erroneous report we
have above contradicted. The loan was brought on Mon-
day into the market by Messrs. ROTHSCHILD.

Extract from a Letter, dated Paris, Sept. 11:—" The
alarming Wpm of the King is the subject of almost gene-
ral conversation ; but as the Count d'Artois takes every
opportunity of showing that he approves of the politics of
M. de Villele, it is nut likely that the death of Louis will
produce any change for the worse. It is said that M. de
Wilkie and Mr. Canning hare the same opinion on the
subject of South America, and that Monsieur is more
friendly to those States than could well be imagined. What
lis certain is, that Mr. Ravenga, the late official President
from Colombia, in London, has been here in high favour,
although he is known to be the friend, and, in game sort,
the representative of Bolivar. He has left this capital for
England, after having had several interviews with the
great man, and much private intercourse with his brother-
in-law, M. de Bassins, whom M. de Villde is in the habit
of consulting on colonial affairs. if understand, however,
that Mr. Ravenga will return haste early in October.—lt is
Irumoured, but I know not how truly, that the police have
made some curious discoveries at the house of a noble Rus-
sian, and that copies of papers of sonic importance, which
were found there, have been forwarded to Russia. It is
said that at this borne an ex-minister, an ex-female-favour-
ite, and two notorious Abbes, met to plot the downfal of
M. de Villele, or, as he is by sonic called, " the French
Canning." M. de Villele labours hard to make himself
popular, and to a certain extent he is so; but the contriv-
ances to which he resorts are curious. To conciliate the
Royalists be has caused it to be announced to these who re-
side in the provinces, that early in the next Fh.-tision he will
propose a measure fur the indemnity of the emigrants;
and on the other hand lie tickles the Liberals by informing
them that at the same time he will remove the censorship.
With the lower orders he is a favourite, because he takes
every opportunity of increasing their comforts. In this
purpose he lays out his supoduous cash in building, and
urges all his friends and adherents to do the same. There
are not less tkan 3000 houses now building in Paris, and it
is said that 130,000 masons ere at this moment employed
in building or demolishing. The house and lodging letters,
however, complain that these new buildings have lowered
the value of houses and apartments 15 per cent."
It is satisfactory to be enabled to state, on the authority
of letters received yesterday from Cadiz, that Valdes, and
nearly the whole of his brave little band of followers,
'after the taking of Tarifa by die French, escaped across to
"Tangier, where they will wait for a more fortunate period
to make a new attempt.-3forning Paper.
Extract of a letter, dated Bayonne, Sept. 4 :—" The
Ilcnourablc Mr. Bingham passed through here on the
evening of the 241, on his return from Madill', where he
has been with despatches, intimating to Sir Wm. A'Court
his appointment as Ambassador at Lisbon, for which des-
tination he set off on the 30th. Since the departure of the
King from Madrid, the capital has been in a most disor-
tiered state ; the assassination of fourteen persons occurred
in one day ; several of the French military are among the
I number. Previous to his departure, peremptory orders
had been sent for the execution of the unfortunate persons
taken at Tarifa, to the number of 130, of which 23 were
officers. Galicia is in a very unsettled state, troops are
ordered to march in that direction ; indeed, Spain appears
on the eve of some great convulsio."
A letter from Trieste of the 31st ult. states, that accord-
ing to the last accounts from Smyrna, the Turkish squa-
dron was to sail from Mitylene on the 7th ult. to embark
the troops assembled at Scalanuova, for an attack upon the
island of Samos.

New Yotk journals to the 2.artult., and Charleston to'
the 15th, arrived yesterday : they give no late advicea
either from Mexico or Peru. Letters from Guayaquil to
the stifilt of May are said to confirm the intelligence of the
junction of Olaneta to the independent eaus. in Upper
Peru. The papers are filled with accounts of the reception
of General la Fayette in America, who has been greeted
Iwith the warmest enthusiasm by all ranks of the iteopl,!.
The veteran appears to be in excellent spirits, and highly
I
gratified with the ticatment he has experienced from his,
republican client's.
I There is no foundation for the conjecture advanced in a
Morning Paper, that " Lord Cochrane's return to this
country is connected with an intention of again offering
himself' for Westminster in the cvent of a dissolution of
Parliament."

Mr. and the Commissioners of Parliamentary
Revenue Inquiry are expected at Glasgow for a few ilayt,
in the course of this week, previous to the meeting or that
board in Edinburgh. It is understood their inquiries here
xvill have reference to the To-rms.-it of customs, excise,
stamps, assessed taxes, and Post-otlice, as also to the com-
mercial intercourse with Ireland, as affected by the regula-
tions of the two first-mentioned departments.—G UV) it'

The DuWin Putt jot of Saturday says. " The Incendiary
Press has already commenced to assail Mr. Canning, whose
arrival here they announced would take place this day. It
appears from their attacks on this eminent Statesman, that
the faction are Manned at his approach ; it augurs they feel
no roil to the cause of division and discord.'

Tnr. EARL or Mar..—Friday last having been the sky
appointed for the Earl of Mar's visit at Alba, at an early
hour the utmost bustle prevailed amongst the inhabitants
in making preparations for his reception. The number of
spectators was greater than within the recollection of the .
oldest inhabitants: perhaps no less than thirty thousand
persons were present. When the carriage appeared on the
opp:site dame all eyes were fixed on the spot ; and no
sooner had the steam-boat left the shore, with the carriage
on board, than a large gun, which was stationed to the
west, was tired, the bands immediately striking up " Oh !
ye're been lang o' ~MY This was an interesting mo-
ment, and recalled the memorable landing of the King at
Leith. The fire was answered fram the wood-yard of Mr.
Bald to the east, and kept up all the time of crossing. The
boat-haying now reached the opposite shore, Lord Aber-
crombie immediately sprang over the bulwarks, and wel-1'
corned the old Earl and his two daughters, by heartily
shaking them by the hands. The horses being taken from
the carriage, a great many sturdy fellows pulled it from the
beat to the head of the pier, amidst the loud huzzas of the I
multitude, where it remained till the whole line of Feces- I
sion had primed it, and with which the Earl was highly
delighted, although at times he appeared to be overcome
with the distinguishing honours he was reed In. The
Earl is a fine looking old man, about Si years of age, and,
I in general, kept smiliug to the crowd, many of whom ap-
proached the carriage, and shook hands with him. The I
whole proceesiou, with the Earl in its train, proceeded up
the High-street, and through the other creel leading to
1 Mar-street, where it entered a grand triumphal arch erected
there, and bearing the following inscription—" Ailoa hails
her ancient Lord." During the whole of the way the car-
riage was guarded on each side by three of the gentlemen
1
on horseback mentioned alcove. Having arrivesl at dic '
Tontine, at the top of Mar-street, the Earl was received
by his friends, and the several incorporations dispersed tol
their dithrent lodges. The day was fine, and notwith- '
standing the immense crowd, not a single amide. t occurred.

The Earl of Mar, since his arrival at Alloa, has given 20
guineas to the poor of that parish.
The inns at Garvamore, Pitman], Aviemore, and Gran-

The Bank at Fishmongers' Hall has been some time

The King's hounds have left the New Forest for Wind-
sor, quite out of order, from the hardness of the runs and
the thickness of the cover. 'nit y are to return in Oatiber.
The stags have shown their amazing speed and cunning by
mixing with the herds, and avoiding being taken by the
lurchers, which were posted in all points. A man at Lynd-
hurst has offered to engage to drive them, only on horse-
back, into a toil, or, ash says, through that town singly,
in the same manner they take the forest ponies. As it is,
not one stag has been taken alive; three stags and one
hind have been killed.

It is said that in the card parties of Louis XV., his
Majesty's eagerness to win was conspicuous and ill-bred.
Each person carried into the apartment a white leather
long narrow bag, containing from six hundred to a thou-
sand lonia d'ors, and the King was often t ) be seen bearing
away, over and above what he could stow, his hat filled

Henry Fielding hearing from a friend that a third person
was very much dejected, asked the cause. " Bezause,"
said his friend, "he is deeply in debt." " Is that all ?"
replied the facetious Henry ; " you surprise me that he
should mind it. How happy should 1 be could 1 find
means to get five hundred pounds deeper in debt than
ain !"

For the farther security of the administration of justice, al
for clearing up the truth in matters of such great weight and un.
pottance, his Majesty further thinks fit to order that the sant:nary
of the investigations which he commanded to be made by the It..
tendant I:earned of the Police, as well as those that to,.h puce
en

An Emperor of China, making a progress, discovered a
family, in which the master, with his wives, children,
grand-children, daughters-in-law, and servants, all lived
in perfect peace and harmony. The Emperor, admiring
this, inquired of the old man what means he employed to
preserve quiet among such a number of persons. The man,
taking out a pencil, wrote only these three words—patience,
parienee, patience.
VEMACITY.—TIIC Chinese annals relac, that a young
Prince once diverting hitnself in the garden with his pages,
in the presence of his prouptor, said to one of his pages, in
sport, " I make you King of such a place." " What is
your Highness doing ?" said the preceptor hastily. " I
was only in jest," replied the Prince. " Sir," said the
preceptor. " the wont of a Prince should never be jest :
you have made the boy a King, and he must be so—your
word cannot be recalled." The nomination was accordingly
confirmed.

A TLIACICAL IKCIDENT.—At an Indian wedding in the
Philippine Islands, the bride retireu from the company, in
order to go down to the river and wash her feet. As she
was thus employed an aligator seized her. Ike shrieks
brought the people to the place, who saw her between the
!monster's teeth, and just drawn under water. The bride-
groom instantly plunged after, with his dagger iu hie hand,
and pursued the ravisher. After a desp.vate conflict, he
made him deliver up his prey, and swam to shore with the
.body of 1:11 dead a ifc in his arr•.:s.
