turbances have lately taken, pliee at MiramiChie, and that it
has been found necessary to send a detachment of the 74th Re-

Hitherto there has been no military force in that quarter.

DETROIT, JUNE 2l.—The steam boat Superior, Captain
Rodgers, arrived here from Buffalo on Friday last, and sailed'
forAlichilimainae on Saturday, having on board a considerable
number of passengers; and a full cargo of merchandize destined
for the Indian trade.

The trip-sheet of the Superior contained the names of 92
passengers, more than half of whom were for this territory, and
have since left this place to examine the U. S. land in the

KINGStON. (V. C.) JULY s.—We regret, to hear from va-
rious parts of this and the adjoining
,districts, that the wheat,
which lately promised so well, has been attacked by a species
of fly, and duff:led to such a degree that it is thought it will not
average half a crop. The Indian corn also h-foks ill in many
ifirts, haying been injured by the late frosfs in May. , ,
MONTREAL, JULY 10.—On Monday the rain tr:toughoitt
the upper parts.of the District was extremely heavy, and did
considerable damage 'on the flats ; it was particularly injUrious.
we are told,' to the natural grass, beating it down and rendering
it necessary that it should be cut Were it is ripe.
According to our information the grasshoppers haye done im-
mense iniscinef in Richmond athl the surrounding settlements.

We learn through the medium of a friend, that the long dis-
puted question relative to the. boundary-line' in the vicinity of
Lake Champlain, has been at I.nigth decided, and. that Rouse's
Point will come within the British Limits.

We are further informed, that a decision has been come to,
by the Commissioners of both countries, relative to the line
from Saint Regis to the head of Lake Huron ; and that the.
surveyors have left Utica, for the purpose of prosecuting their
labours on Lake Superior.—( Montreal ILTald.)
DEATH.—On the Ilth inst. at Coteau du Lac, Meiander
Wilson, Esq.' He had been many years an inhabitant of that
place, and held several plaaes under GovernMent with, much
credit. He was much esteemed by all who knew him ; and his
death is deeply and generally lamented.—On the morning of
the 10th inst. Elizabeth, daughter of Major Lbring,lfith Regt.
—On the 24th April last, at Lemads, in the Department of Ls
barthe, France, Capt. William Alexander Grant, 71st High-
landers, son of the Baroness of L'ongueuil, who served with re-
putation through a great part of the Spanish Peninsula war,
and in the great and final battle of Waterloo, wherein he wits
wounded. . . .
Krszowrox;(U. C.) JULY 12;—A very rapid emigration is
pouring into Michigan and Alabama, which two territories, it is
thought, will soon claim the right of admission into the Union
as Sovereign States.—lt seems that the inhabitants of the
western part of the State of New Yo'rk are anxious to ,avail
themselves of the earliest period of the expected opening of our •
West Indian-ports to their commerce, and that they are accord-
ingly hurrying their produee down the Erie Canal, towards
New York. Little,.if..indeed any part of the flour which for-
merly came from the Genessee Country, has this season
• descended the St. Lawrence, and twelve of the boats be-
longing to Ogdensburgh, which were usually employed on the
RiVe,r, have consequently gone in search of freight to tie Canal,_
which they have reached by ascending the Palls of Os*ego
River. A New York Paper estimates the quantity of flour,
now lying along the Banks of the Canal, at 100,000 barrels,
and we hear it reported ~that at Utica alone there are lying
30,009 barrels' which cannot be forwarded, as well on account
of the want of boats, as of water in the Mohawk.
MONTREAL, JULY 20.—The Ist battalion of the Militia of
this City. has been paraded on the evening and morning of each
day during the present week, in conformity to the Act autho-
rizing its organization. .
DEATH.—At William' Henry, on. the Bth ins'lant, after a.
lingering illness, which he supported with Christian firmness
and resignation, aged 29 years, Lieut. Henry Hall, on the half-
' lit), of the late 99th regiment.
QUEBEC, JtrLY 22.—The abitfact of the two Colonial Trade
Bills, published to-day, .we recommend to the attentive per-
usal of the reader; they greatly infringe on whit has often been
called tin:. good old colonial policy, and, we would hope, they
will secure greater advantages than have hitherto been enjoyed
either by the Mother Country. or the Colonies. .One or them
allows the Colonies to trade with all the poWers Of Europe and
Africa in Btitish-huilt vessels Owned and navigated according
:to law.' The other allows the Colonies to trade from certain
free ports (of which Quebec is one) with all parti of South and
North America, and the foreign West India Mamie., in British
or foreign vessels, provided always that the powers owning such
foreign vessels shall admit British vessels into their ports. The
intercourse in both cases to be regulated by certain enumerated
duties.- The Bills in their present forms are as amended, after
several sittings of Cominittees of the whole House of Com-
Mons, and finally ordered to be printed;- they will, it is very
likely, now undergo no important changes. .
We understand tbat a Bill is to be brought into the Imperial
Parliament to regulate the inland intercourse between the Ca-
nadas and the linnet! States ; it is said that restriction will be
its principle, and that heavy duties will be imposed on the ad-
mission of articles into this country, the produce of the States.
It must aPpear to every one that this will greatly diminish, if
not entirely deprive us of the means of exporting bread itufll.,
while it will operate directly to create the establishMent of
Canals or other means' of transporting American, and in time,
perhaps, Canadian Produce to the sea by New York. The na-
tural and cheapest.oatlet of the produce raised on the rivers
fallinginto the St. Lawrence is the St. Lawrence, and regula-
tions should go to preSerie not to say encourage; the trans-
portation of produce in that direction.' 'We refer the reader to
a statement connected With this subject, in thin day's- paper.
The immense quantity of prodUce transported through the Erie.
Canal. in its imperfect state is a datum from'which to c.aleulate
rise amount that will pass through it when the Canal is com-
pleted. With restriction in that quarter, the American Flour
must pass,to New York by the Erie Canal, and the American
Liimber must and has gone,' owing to the late Lumber-Act,
by the Champlain Canal.

IMPORTANT TO lIISSEPTERS.—The General
Turnpike Act, passed during the last Session,
completely sets at rest the question of Dissenters
being exempt from paying toll on Sunday's, whets
proceeding to their usual places of religious wor-
ship. The Act states (section 32), that tolls
shall not be demanded or taken "of or from any
person orpersons going to or returning from his,
her, or their usual place of religious worship,
tolerated by law, on.Sunciqs, or on any day" on
which divine service is by authority ordered to
be celebrated:"

" The King ha! again expressed an intention
of going to Sacedon ; and for his own sake per-
mission to go has been refused him. There are
not troops enough, it is said, to furnish him with
an escort. Several changes have been made in
our Ambassadors. Zarco del Valle is nominated
Ambassador to London. The foreign Ministers
are constantly exposed to the declamations of
the Revolutionists. The departure of a Russian
courier for Paris on the 90th excited much un-
easiness among the Revolutionary party."
The Zurriago is repeating all the horrors which
formerly distinguished the Ami thi P euple of
Marat. A few days ago it inserted a pretended
Address to the King, full of outrage and menaces.
The following are some of the passages contained
in it :

" The equality recognized and sanctioned by
the sacred Code of our Laws, and all free
Spaniards, demand aloud that the blood of the
Patriots be avenged on the secret assassins, and
that, with the exception of the King (because his
person is sacred and inviolable), no one of the
others ought to escape. At length it is time that
Spaniards, should see the Ex-minister Felia, and
Martinez de la Rosa in the public prison ; no-
body is ignorant that their conduct has brought
days of bitterness on freemen ; let the law judge
them, and let their heads fall ow the scaffold as
an expiation of their offences towards the nation.
" If the King had not been the chief conspi-
rator, he would have no occasion to repent of his
conduct."

The Zurriago finishes thus :—" Oh! King,
direct your attention for one moment to your cri-
tical situation. The path of glory, of peace, and
of tranquillity, is open before you ; and liberal
men beg of you, perhaps for the last time, to fol-
low it. Accept their offers, and throw yourself
full of confidence in their arms. May God grant
that the nation be not obliged to use its impre-
scriptible rights."
It is said that the new Ministry have signa-
lised their entry into power by a factious repre-
sentation made to his Majesty, on the conse-
quences and danger of his tortuous conduct.—
They have declared to him, that if he will not
send away his perfidious Counsellors, and shew
his attachment to the Constitutional system by
hii actions, tiuty must be under the hard and
painful necessity of bringing his Majesty to
judgment, in pronouncing, in conjunction with
the Cortes, his deposition according to the terms
of the Constitution.
News from Lisbon of the 9th informs us that
-the Charge d'Affaires from the Cabinet of Ber-
lin has demanded his passports, or satisfaction
for the insult which he pretends to have received
from the Court of Lisbon, which has refused to
recognize him in an official character till the
Prussian Government has recognized the Envoy
of Portugal. His passports were immediately
delivered to him.—(La Quotidienne.)

COURT OF ASSIZES OF PARIS, SEPT. 2.
AFFAIR OF LA ROCIIELLE.

In the sittings of this day some others of the Counsel for the
defence were heard.

On the preceding day M. Mocquart, in defending one of the
accused, had incidentally alluded to Journals which had at-
tempted to influence the opinions of the Jury against the ac-
cased, and had been requested by the Court to produce the
Journals alluded to. He produced this day three numbers of
the Qiotidienne, and wished to read to the Court the passages
.he had referred to. This was net suffered, and the Court un-
dertook to decide on the matter when the trial was suspended
at noon. The Judges retired at one o'clock, and returned at
half-past two, -when the President declared that the passages in
she paper referred to came within the limits of allowable discus-
- sion, and that they did not warrant the assertion of M. Moe-
quart, that the Journals had called down the sword of the law
on persons not condemned, and pronounced a reprimand of the
Court against M. Mocquart.
M. Mocquart defended and explained his assertion, which
be observed had been connected with his remarks on the di-
gricsions of the Advocate-General on the state of Europe, and
.other attempts by extra judicial means to give to the facts
charged against his client an importance which they did not
$ deserve.

N. Clinix d'Estanges, defending the soldier Bicheron, in
reference to the stress which had been laid upon the fact that
: the members of the secret societies used daggers as emblems,
.produced a dagger which he had received in a masonic society.
The President observed, that the carrying of daggers was an
,•oei'nce under the Penal Code, and requested him to lay it on
She table.

Al. C. d'Estranges—l am a mason, and this dagger is given
us as an emblem in our lodges.

The President—You may keep it in your desk, but you
must not carry it about you.
Four other Counsel were heard for four of the accused.

COURT OF ASSIZES OF POTCTIERS.
,CONSPIRACY OF THOUA RS' AND SAUMUR.
SITTING OF THE 31ST. AUG.

In this Sitting, Masse, one of the accused, acknowledged
-.that be had taken a gun and cartridges from Pombas, who had
also given him a tri=colour cockade. He accounted for his con-
duct in th© following manner I am a miller, and I have
.always a ery gullet ; at Pombas's they gave me drink ; when
I lost my reason a gun was given to me, and I was asked
whether I would charge it well? I said, yes. A three-co-
loured cockade was then put on me. I expressed my astonish-
ment in seeing this cockade. They told me that to reckon from
to-morrow they would be worn—that the Government was
chsnged. I, a poor creature as I was, did not ask further ;
they made me drink more, and then I went to bed. The next
day, when I got up, I saw the General in uniform. I was or-
cl..:rtd to go to the barrack of the gendarmerie, and I went with
the others."

Mairet, a Quarter-mast:: of Gendarmerie at Thouars, gave
an account of the manner in which he was taken prisoner by
General gerton's party. fie and the Gendarmes were seized
Sn the barracks and marched on -towards Saumur with Berton's
party. On the march, the troops cried " Live the Emperor !
Live Napoleon II ! Down with the droits reuni4 !" When
;Ley came to the School of Horsemanship at Saumur, Delon,

STUTTGARD, AUG. 25.—1 n the Austrian Ob-
server of the 16th it is said, in speaking of the
battle which took place between the Greeks and
Turks at Petta, that passports were found among
the baggage of the Philhellenians, and particu-
larly that of General Norman, dated Bth Decem-
ber, 1821, which had been given by the Society
of the friends of the Greeks at Stuttgard. We
must remark, that this notice rests on some mis-
take ; because this Society is a private one, with-
out any public authority ; and it makes no pre-
tensions of granting passports, which is the duty
of the police.
FRAN IiFORT, AUG. 25.—The President of the
Diet, Count Von 13uo1 Schauenstein, is gone to
Vienna on special business. Count Hardenberg,
the Hanoverian Minister at Vienna, has passed
through here, on his journey to London. The
Hanoverian Chief Justice Hoppenstedt proceeds
also thither. Both are said to be engaged in
preparing plans for the organization of that
K iugdoin.
After the capture of Athens, the Parthenon, or
Temple of Minerva, was consecrated to the Holy
Virgin, and her image took the place of that of
Minerva. Several other temples have also been
formed into Christian Churches. The interior of
the Parthenon was purified by an Archbishop, at
the head of twenty-four Priests, and every year
a festival is to be held on the 15th of August, in
honour of the Virgin, under whose protection
Attica is placed. The ruins of the Academy,
which was hitherto Turkish property, are appro-
priated to a Christian College, which is hereafter
to be established. The Senate of Corinth has
desired all the young Greeks who are at present
at the German Universities, to continue their
studies, because their country will hereafter need
well informed men, and has at present enough
combatants.

VIENNA, AUG. 22 AND 23.—N0 accounts what-
ever from Greece- and Turkey in the Austrian
Observer of the above dates.
FUNDS, AUG. 21.—Metalliques, 811, Bank Shares, 873
2-sths.

AuG. 22.--31eta11iques, 81 11-16ths, Bank Shares, 8701.
AUGSBURG, AUG. 25.—The Allgemeine
lung has an article, from Seinlin of the 14th Au-
gust, which gives extracts of letters from Bitoglia,
Seres, and Joannina, up to the 3d of this month.
It is now not the Bth of July, as was at first re-
peatedly asserted—nor even the 14th, as was
subsequently stated—that the great battle took
place, in which the army of Uhourschid Pacha
was destroyed : it seems, says the Allgemeine
Zeitung, to have been on some day between the
15th and 21st ; it is no longer at the passage of
the Thermopylx that it was fought, and there is
no longer any mention of the tales of 2,000
Mainote women enrolled by the Archbishop Ger-
mano, or of the children ten years of age, who
rolled stones upon the Turks from the tops of
the mountains. The following is the new verp
sion ; but as it proceeds from the same sources
as those we had before, the anterior variations
are not calculated to give it much credit : it is
remarkable that in some points it comes near to
the narrative i►► the Austrian Observer. The
correspondent, however, promises to rectify what
may be found in the sequel to be destitute of
authenticity ; We may, therefore, expect a far-
ther version.

Chourschid Pacha had actually passed the Ther-
mopy he with only a part of his army, and he had
proceeded with the other part towards Salona to
reach Lepanto. At first lie really obtained some
advantage, which induced the Greeks to take
the prudent resolution to occupy a stronger po-
sition on the lake or river Sperchios (now Alam-
mann.) There the Greeks came into the rear
of the Turks on all sides, and completely defeated
them.

TRIESTE, AUG. 18.—A letter from Durazzo, in
Turkish Albania, says :—" The Greeks gained
a great victory near Thertnopylx, on the 18th of
July. Chourschid's expedition against the Morea
has failed, and his army is destroyed. Coron
and Modon had surrendered before, and Patras
will soon fall."

BERLIN, AUG. 23.--The wife of M. Fonk is
now here, and is universally pitied and respected.
It is hoped that her petition for mercy, which is
drawt4 up in the most moving terms, will be
favourably received by our beloved Monarch.
ST. PETERSBURGII, AUG. 14.—A1l the regi-
ments of the Guards have now returned to this
I city. They were reviewed on the 9th at Streina,
on which occasion his Majesty expressed his
satisfaction with their appearance.—His Majesty
sets out for Verona the day after to-morrow.-
-It is thought that he will be absent about six
months.—M. Rothschild, the Banker, arrived
here from England, by sea, on the 12th. Trade
is very dull. The accounts from Nishnei Novo-
gorod say, that the great fair is not very favour-
able at the commencement, but it is hoped that
towards the close more business will be done. A
new ship of the line of 84 guns will be launched
from the Admiralty Docks in a few days.
The Emperor proceeded yesterday from
Tscharskojeselo to Warsaw.—Duke Alexander
of Wirtemberg has been appointed Gover-
nor-General of White Russia.—The Emperor
lately expressed his determination of not staying
at the Congress as long as tl-e public generally
supposed. _ _

The author regards the affairs of the Greeks under a three-
fold point of view-Ist. As to the contending parties-2d.
As to public. opinion—and, 3d. As to the European powers,
who are more or less interested in the contest. Each of these
principal heads is again divided into three subordinate sections.
" Ist. Notwithstanding all the contradictions in journals and
in private accounts, the three following circumstances (says the
Professor) arc fully established :
" (a) The Turkish Gbvernment has not yet been able, with
all the power it possesses, to put down the Greek insurrection.
" (b) The Greeks have not only maintained themselves
against the Turks, but have constantly made a great progress
in their contest for freedom, and almost exclusively by their
own exertions and means, and in spite of every obstacle.
" (c) The Greeks have already constituted themselves an in-
dependent people, so that their affairs are conducted by a Pro-
visional Government."

What the author says on this part of his sabject' it is of less
consequence to quote, because it must force itself on every man's
attention. The Greeks were disunited, and sometimes opposed
to one another. Necessity, however, the best instructress, taught
them quicker than could be expectefihow to carry on their oper-
ations in unison—how to unite their country,--and to estalilish
a general Administration which reason could only have accom-
plished in a long time.
'When so much has been effected by the despairing efforts of
the scattered parties, how much more may we not now hope
for ? This view of the author has been confirmed, both by land
and sea, by the late events, which were when he wrote un-
known to him.

" 2d. As to the public opinion, the author is of opinion, that
it is settled on three points, two of which are as follow :
" (a) The Greek contest for freedom is on their side just, be-
cause it was entered into from self-defence.

" (b) The Greek contcst is worthy of admiration, because so
much has been done with such trifling means."
Those means were so trifling at the commencement, that the
world would not believe that the Greeks had begun so im-
portant a work from their own instigation. At first the public
supposed that a foreign power had encouraged them to rise in
arms, and had promised them support. When this opinion
was from necessity given up, the courage of the Greeks only
excited greater admiration, which was again increased with
every new victory. Some adventurers, indeed, who expected
to make a fortune in Greece, came back, and informed the
world, that their own courage might not be doubted, the
Greeks were cowards, of whom A hero could make nothing ;
but the public was not deceived ; its opinion was, that these
adventurers had better have remained at home if they did not
go to Greece out of love for the good cause, and with a firm
resolution to sacrifice themselves for it.

The author admits that there may be exceptions—that
among those who returned may be some who meant well, but
they wanted perseverance. The greater difficulties there were
to encounter at the commencement, the greater admiration,
however, do the Greeks themselves deserve. "If Greece were
free," says the authOr, " and were again to produce a Homer,
the names of its present heroes—of such men as Odysseus,
Jordaki, and Boblina, would be as well known to posterity as
its ancient heroes. When centuries Lave closed over the graves
of heroes, and their names have been ennobled by the Muse,
then they and their deeds first appear in full splendour and
glory.—(Frankfurter Ober Postands Zeitunzg.)

SPANISH ARTS AND MANUFACTURES.

[From a Madrid Paper of the 20th ultimo.]
Catalonian industry has just afforded a proof
of its progress and the state of perfection to which
the genius of the inhabitants has carried the arts
and manufactures, by the specimens of articles
of various kinds which have been exhibited for
public inspection in the saloons of the Exchange
of Barcelona, under the direction of the National
Commercial Junta of that province. The variety,
beauty, and excellent workmanship of the ma-
nufactures of wool, silk, cotton, skins, and other
materials, which have, in consequence of this ar-
rangement, been deposited in the saloons, have
convinced all who have examined them, that the
Catalonian, no less dexterous in imitating the
finest foreign productions than skilful in making
improvements by his own ingenuity, yields in
nothing to the ablest artisans of the most indus-
trious nations.

Among the woollen-manufactures, we have seen, with the
greatest pleasure, that the cloth made by Miralda and Corn.
pany, of Manresa, and Sola and Son, of Barcelona, rivals that
of Sedan and Louviers, both in the quality and the beauty of
the colours. Equal merit belongs to the kerseymeres, flannels,
and serges, manufactured by Gali and Villals, of Tarrasa.—
The serges of Salabert, of Castelltcrsol,also deserve to be point_
ed out.

The silk manufactures of Don Jaime Soler, Don Francisco
Altaya, and others, have realised all that could have been de-
sired by the best of judges. The like praise is due to a collec-
tion of specimens of ribbons, which equal in beauty the
specimens presented to the Cortes in 1821., by the corporation
of lacemen of Barcelona. In good taste, excellent quality, and
beauty, these ribbons are no way inferior to the best articles of
the kind manufactured in foreign countries. In this class the
taffetas manufactured by Don Pedro Sangermon were particu-
larly distinguished ; they vie in quality with the best French
and English. The stockings of the .:irst quality by. Don Pedro
Alcina, and of the secong by Don Benaventura Costa, were
excellent in their kind.

The advancement in the cotton-manufactures is not less re-
markable ; and what deserves particular praise is, that the in-
genuity and perseverance employed in the labour have supplied
the want of various machines, by means of which foreigners
are, among other advantages, enabled to give a great degree
of fineness to their cotton thread. The white and coloured
muslins, percales, quiltings, table-cloths, &c., have all reached
a very high degree of perfection. The articles manufactured
by Don Jacinto Aranjo are of excellent quality, and particu-
lar praise is due to the cottons stamped and printed with va-
rious colours by means of the plates and cylinders employed by
Don Juan Rull, who has exhibited various other productions
of superior merit.
In the branch of skins, Don Salvador Roig, of La Bisbal,
hasolive coloured leather is obtained great credit. His yellow, red, straw, mulberry,
and
equal to that of England and Mo-
rocco, which hitherto carried away the palm in commerce. In
the same manner Casademunt and Eusebios, of Olot, have
given a high degree of perfection to the manufacture of tanned
goat and kid skins.
Along with these admirable specimens of manufactures we
observed some cards for wool of a new invention, and of great
utility, which are due to the ingenuity of Don Antonio Gelada
and Son, of Olot ; two fumigating machines of brass, gilt and
plated, which evinced great skill in the artist, Don Ramon
Isaura ; and a pair of pistols, made by Don Jacinto Jaumean-
dren, which spew the high state of perfection to which that branch
key
f
particular construction,
of gun-making has arrived in Catalonia. In cabinet making,

On considering the prosperous state to which every kind of
art and manufacture in this province has attained, with no
other impulse than the activity and perseverance which charac-
terise its inhabitants, it may easily be conjectured to what height
it might be carried if the Government were in a situation to an-
nihilate the contraband trade, and remove, in conformity with
the beneficial decrees of the Cortes, the other obstacles which
still paralyse the greater part of our manufacturing esta-
blishments. It besides requires no great penetration to per-
ceive, from the manoeuvres which the French Government em-
ploy, that one of the principal objects it proposes to itself by
fomenting the commotions in this province is the destruction of
our mavtictures.
Catalonians ! The civil war which, under specious pretexts,
is endeavoured to be introduced amongst you, aims not less at
your industry than at your liberal institutions, which are more
directly attacked. It is felt that under a Representative Go-
vernment your improvement must be rapid, and it is therefore
wished to destroy it in order to ruin you. Can it be possible
that you will continue the sport and the victim of artifices so
down
and infamous ? Would you with your own hands pull
down the work, which with so much labour has been raised for
your felicity ? Reflect for a moment, and you will find that
those who instigate you to desolate your country cannot be
your friends, and that in vain do the malevolent seek to cover
their parricidal and barbarous atrocities with the name of a re-
ligion which so loudly condemns them, or of a King who can
have no wish but for the welfare of his people.
