idiom of our Colonies; and me witness has stated, That a

through that medium; but your Committee have received
no further testimony thereof. They are certainly of opinion

ARRIVAL OF
%HE SETTLERS AT ALCOA BAY.

We • are happy in being able to lay before our
renders the following account (the first which, hos
reached this country) of the arrival of the Settlers
at Algoa Boy. It will •be perused wi'h much in-
terest.
The John transport arrived at Portsmouth late nn
Tuesday night, from the Cape of Good Hope. The'
John took out 600 settlers for Algoa Bay, princi-
pally from Lancashire. The passengers were severely
attacked with the measles on the voyage out,
but from the great attention paid them they soon
recovered from its effect.. The John passed the
Carmarthen, from Calcutta for London, off Simosi's
Bay, on the gth June; spoke the Streatham
and Larkins, from China, 24,b March, off the
Western blends, twelve days since, from Sierra
Leone, with oil, for London ; passed the Bristol,
of Bristol, for St. Helena, with General Ciao
on board, on 27th Juoe. The John appears by
the following to be • very quick sailer : on the
Bth, at 4 a.m. spoke a ship, Lizard bearing N.E.
56 Miles, mode the land, found reckoning correct,
and passed through the Needles at 11 p.m.
13y the John we have been favoured with the fol-
lowing letter from one of the muter' who went out :
" DIY DEAR FRlEND—Accevt a 'worried state-
ment of our *imitation, as far as I have experienced
it. 'We arrived at Algoa Bar, after a tedious pas.
*age from England, during which we experienced
suffirierit proofs of the very excellent arrangemeuts
of the Government for our comfort. I have been
up the country as far as Graham's Town, and a more
delightfill one cermet be expressed. The first land-
ing irt Algoa Bay is a little unpleasant, occasioned
. by • continual surf, but once landed. your greatest
difficulty is over. You then apply to the proper offi-
. cer, who has a surveyed Government plan before him
of the intended settlement, marked out in lots of
from 100 to 10,000 acres. Especial care is token
that every lot has a good spring of water amid well
wooded. Yost are then asked the number of fel-

Cowen you baste, each being allowed 104) acres. This
bring ascertained, the quai.tity of Lind you want is
sought for on the Clove►nment map, without any
partiality. An authority is then given you to take
insasesnon. Too nsuch prai►e cannot be given to
the Governor for those arrangements. if you have

not brought waggons, they can be procured of the
Boors, with ■ team of oxen, and off you set.
The settlement is •bout 190 miles from the sea.
Y.. 0 pass • good Dutch farm every 15 o► 20 mile..
Tlx Government sell you a good tent for two gui-
nea*, which you set up every night, making a blaz-
ing fire, and, surrouuded by your team, sleep

respectable families already housed. One gentle.
MIN who brought out an iron roof, was noosed,
with all Ins family, in three days and nights, by
lodging his roof on stumps of trees, plastering up
the ►ide., and giving it • good white.washing,

MADRID, JULY 27.
The body guard., wishing to give, proof of their
satisfaction at the attachment which the lower
classes of Madrid have manifested for the Constitu.
lion, hare resolved, with the sanction of his Ma-
jesty, to subscribe a sum of 120,000 reale, 54,000
of which are to be distributed among the poor, and
66,000 employed to portion off 22 daughters of ar-
tisans.
Letters from all parts of the Peninsula speak of
the right direction which the public mind has taken
every where. The solemn oath of fidelity to the
Constitution, taken by his Majesty on the 9th, in•
spires general confidence, and has made all Spaio
rejoice.
A communication from the Government inform-
ed the Cortes, that, agreeably to its orderr, the na-
tional militia of Pamplona had received the arms
which were intended for them.

In the sitting of the Cortes of the 28th, M. Mo-
rena Guerra read a Report of the Committee of
Agriculture and Commerce, on the exportation
and importation of grain. The Committee is of
opinion, for the present, that the importation of
foreign corn ought to be prohibited, unless when
•the faneque exceeds 70 reels; but that this mea-
sure thould only continue till the next meeting of
the Cortes, and that it shall not extend to the Bale-
avian Ides.
The Reporter then called the attention of the
Cutter to the four following points :
First—The increase of labour; which be profaned to
effect by abuliabiog all festival days but Sundays.

becoad—The number of labourers; respecting which he
Proposed that all the employments to be Ailed up should be
given to reformed labourers i with some other propositions
on the same subject.
Thirdly—That the secular and regular Clem nosy be pre.
vented from being incressed, until • law shall Az their
proportions to each other, and that means he taken to pro-
vide the regular Clergy with tbeir subsistence in a permanent
manner.

Fourthly—That the Ecclesiastical Committee make a
Report cm this subject. -
In con►egtteoce the Committees have proposed
the following measures:-
1. To collect the tithes of the neat year by the !munici-
palities, snider the direction of the provincial deputatioae,
without the participation of the Clergy,

t. That the municipalities pay from the year 1821, half
what they bare hitherto paid.
3. That from the amount of tithes is each province the
expenses of the church be paid according to a regulation
to be made.
4. That from the steeples the establishments for public
iostruction, for hesenceoce sad charity, be supported.
5. That the remainder be put at the diaposal of the Co-
cerement, and form our of the articles of the budget of *op
and means.
0. That the Committee of Flamm* propose moo memos
for the subaislevee of the regular Clergy. The Report of

cided, os the proposition of the Coast of Tomo*, that the

Accounts from Valladolid, dated 17th, state,
that there have been anti-constitutional assemblages
in the 010Uritaill., headed by Merino, a Priest, and
Hos de Fontenebro, • Judge of First Instance.
The Captain-General of Old Castile, and the
Governor of Burgos, have taken measures to dis-
perse these assemblages.
A letter from Burgos gives the following list of
those arrested :—Cusquirro. Echavarti. Erma, and
Maze (Cissious), the Abbe P►ocnrieur of the Carte-
sians, two Carinelites, and a Curate. We are igno-
rant what may have beets their object, or the means
fur carrying it into effect.
GERMANY.
HAUBURGH, JULY 49.
The reports here that one of the principal houses
of the Bank of Copenhagen is embarrassed, has
caused much uneasiness to the merchants of this
place. It has been discovered that our State Pa-
pers culled Certificates of Liquidation, issued in
1815 and 1816, have been counterfeited, and that

they have already been found of this description.
to the amount of msuy thousand marks.

General attention is directed, at present, to the
affairs of Naples, and every one is couviuced that
the important change which has occurred in conse-
quence of a military revolt, will end with the ex-
emplary chastisement of the guilty. It is but too
evident that this revolution has not resulted from
the desire of the nation for a new Constitution, but
only proceeds from the interested views of a party
of intiiriers, who use the liberal disguise of the
Constitution the better to hide their criminal in-
tentions.

VIRUN•, JULY 26.

Several of the Italian witnesses, destined t• give
evidence against the Queen of England, have been
during some time in this capital ; an individual
named Majocci, with his wife and two children, me
amongst them. He was in the service of the Queen,
at Como, and was dismissed by her. In the night
of the 19th June they unexpectedly received or-
ders to set off for England, under the care of. an
English messenger.

at their owsi discretion. This is
a great blow against the clergy, which will tin.

disposed persons among the laity. From the
number of ecclesiastics in the Codes, sand the
influence they may be supposed to possess, it is
very pruhable that the assembly will never con-
sent to these proposition,, at least in the extent
to which it suggtoted that these measures ought
to be carried ; but in the mean time the tocsin leas
been sounded, mill we find !het in different parts of
the Prisiissuln bodies of anti-constitutionalists
have appeared, beaded uniformly by priests. The
insurrection seems to be the most for-

usidable of these popular commotion', and there
we hod the rallying cry of insurrection to be God
and the King, names which, united, have ever ex.
erciseil • talismanic influence upon the multi-
tude. To give their proceedings a religious cha-
racter, the leaders of the insurgents have also as-
sumed the title of the Apostolic Junta, and these
leaders are, with very few exceptions, ecclesiastics.
It it evident then that the most active enemies to
the existing order of government are churchmen.
and their influence is marked by the numbers
whom they are said to have united in different parts
of the country. With such on evidence of their
feelings and their powe►, it is not wise in the Mem•
bers of the Cortes to exasperate the clergy still
further. If the changes suggested be really de.
rirable, • better time might be do sen for effecting
them. The Cortes would do well to exercise their

power with moderation at the commencement of
their career, if they would give cousistency to its
eujoyment. The hostile disposition of foreign
Powers cannot now be doubted, and ought to be
felt as an additions! reason to them 11 to bear their
faculties. meekly." The Cones likewise owe a
duty to mankind in general, not to destroy by
intemperance and violence the glorious work they
have commenced. Au occurrence such so loss been
witnessed in Spain is an event cheering to huma-
nity ; it teaches mankind never to de►pair of free-
dom, while it offers a salutary restrictive lesson to
Sovereigns not to count too securely upon the
broken 'spirit of their people, by shewiog them
that there is a point at which tyranny must tremble.

The Paris papers of Monday last unhappily con-
firm the intelligence communicated by the Journals

of the preceding day. respecting the commencement
of a civil war in Sicily. It is not as yet, however,
clearly understood whether the revolt is partial or
national ; but the independence of Sicily, and its
political separation front Naples, are the avowed ob-
jects of those who have as yet appeared in arms
against the existing Government. Palermo seems to
have bten the scene of sanguina►y outrages. The Sici-
lian,. to mark their resolution of not receiving the law
from the Neapolitans, have raised the yellow flag,
which is their national colour. 'fleet• in the first in-
stance surprised the forts, which was attended with
no difficulty., as the Neapolitan garrisons were not
apprehensive of attack, but the troops quickly
regained possession, and flattered themselves with
the assurance of keeping it; but the Insur-
gents returned with increased numbers, and after
some severe conflicts. the flag of independence was
every where successful. The number of men killed
on both sides is estimated at iOOO.

The Austrian Government has caused the Rue.
elan Manifesto on the affairs of Spain to be pub.
and a belief is universally entertained at
Vienna that the Government will, with all possible
expedition, interfere fur the extinction of the
principle of lihetty throughout the Neapolitan
State.. No difficulty is apprehended, for the rapid
conquests of the Austrian army ender General
NUGeNT iu 1815, over the Neapolitan troops corn.
mantled by MURAT, are held out as ce►tain assur-
ances of similar success in the present undertaking.
It is asserted, with confidence, that Field Marshal
BIANCHI NIA received orders to march into the
Romagna, at the head of 9.0,000 men. Time publi-
cation of the Russian Manifesto, by command of
the Cabinet of Vienna, is evidently intended to
strike terror into the Revolutionists, while it at
the same time implies the full concurrence of
Austin' in the sentiments contained in it.
The advice, from Madrid are of the 47th of July.
On the 25th was hel.• an extraordinary and secret
meeting of the Cortes but the object of their de.
liberations had not transpired. Many alarming
rumours were in consequence afloat in Madrid, and
an order was issued on -alie morning of the 26th.
that the night paroles had received orders to arrest
all suspected person* fuuud in the streets after
eleven o'clock. A letter front Vigo, of the 17th,
affirms that the Insurgents who crossed the Moho
did not not exceed 100 persons. and that a division
of 20 soldiers was sufficient to disperse them. The
troops fired upon them and killed seven. among
whom was the Geirerabis-Chit;/. Eleven were
made prisoners. To mark, however, the little con.
fidence that can be placed on private letters, a se•
cowl letter from the very same place, and of the
very same date, states the number of insurgents at
