" The Mary of Plymouth,. bound to Hull, in ballast." This,
was received as Correct; as nothing in her appearance indicated
the contrary; but the ridlowing morning, to. the aurprize, of the

Bit ATTLEBORO UG ( VERO DEC. 24.----(rei.•
montjuvenik keraim.):—A few months since the
citizens of Londonderry, (Vermont,) having had
their flocks annoyed by the ravages of bears from
the adjacent mountains, turned out to hunt and

destroy them. Mr. RAZES and his son, a lad
about 12 years old, were among the number.--
A large bear was discovered by Mr. Hazen and
his boy, and being wounded, passed round
a rock or ledge, where it was met by Mr.
Hazen, who in attempting to disable it, was
,dis-
armed and thrown dawn by the furious beast.
Hazen called to his boy in this exigency. The
lad (with a presence of mind beyond his yeai.s•
and strength),, rushed upon the bear with his
axe, and so dexterously applied his blows, that
he rescued his father and they killed The bear.
Mr. Hazen was considerably injured, but is do-
ing well. .As he fell he clenched the'under jaw
of the bear, and though his hands were'severely
wounded, this circumstance probably saved his
life. A minute's delay or perturbation in the bov
would have been fatal to the father. Conrage
and action like this ought to be held up for ex-
ample. Th e substance of the foregoing was com-
municated by a respectable magistrate in Lon-
donderry, and is matter of general notoriety, in.
the vicinity:, ,

Ovhohad boen. pievionsly dangerously ill), w;:s
dead. Upon. heaiing the report, Mr. Roberts.
caused a coffin to be ,made, and immediately sent.
it to Priory (as Sunday would interfere), but. on

ENTRACTS FROM THE- DAILY-MORNING PAPERS

February 13, 18'22.,

•[THE TIMES.) •
Our copious report in yesterday's paper of the
discussion in the House of Commons on-the pre-
ceding nigllt, will prove that it is no want of
attention to the subject matter`of the proposition
then submitted.to that assembly which dissuades
us from • entering upon a minute analysis of the
speeches then delivered. Mr. Brougham's pro-
posed resolution, went in substance to pledge the
House to obtain a reduction,of the taxes. No,
says the l'ilinister, ".,Don't pass such a'vote, be-
" cause we (the Cabinet) have certain plans of
" our own to recommend' to you." The infe-
rence from this evasive answer must, therefore,
of necessity ly.s, that among the schemea of finance
'about to be disclosed by Ministers, a reduction
of taxes is not one : for why else object to a re-
solution, which affirmed nothing but that it was
expedient to reduce the public burdens, and which
•pledged the House no farther than to that parti-
cular policy ?. The Government, it is pain, could*
have felt its designs embarrassed or incommoded
by the record ofsueh a vote, on no 'other hy-
pothesis but that of its,being, their determination
to act in defiance of the principle so recognised.
Let, however; the Budget, and its attendant
troops of voters, .determine the question of re-
lief or no relief to the community pro hue vice
how they may, it is to, be esteemed a solid:ad-
vantage that the sninect itself of the public dis-
tresses, their origin, and their appropriate reme-
dies, should be frequently brought before the
nation. Hardly, indeed, a debate occurs. within
or without the walls of Parliament, in the course
of :which some old folly is not cried down and
thrown out of circulation, and in. which some
sound and *valuable counsel is not received and
established in the room of it.—We heir little now
of prohibitory laws, as a protection to the agri-
cultural interest. So it is owing to the active at-
tention bestowed upon the sufferings of the landed
interest, within the last few.- months, that public
opinion was prepared to reject without difficulty,
and indeed with instantaneous coutcenot, the
notable proposal of the Finance Minister, to
distribute five millions among the insolvent
tenantry of England, to whom (for.otherwise the
scheme was an unmeaning one) no private indi-
vidUalwould be silly enough to lend a groat. This
expedient, too, whatever may be. its fate in •Par.-
liarnent, is one among the exploded fallacies of
thediour ; but it-is, as we havissaid, owing to.the
inquisitive and informed state of the middle
classes of the people upon national subjects, and
upon this as one of the most interesting among
thern,•that the designed' gift of five millions of
money, by an immediate increase of the unfunded
debt, was inn moment exclaimed against as a
double bribe to the tenants to suppress their cla-
mours, by being. enabled to pay their rents,
and to a certain class of landlords to accommo-
date the Treasury with their votes, during yet
one other session:

[MORNING POST.]

We are this day enabled to give a translation
of the Official Note delivered by the Turkish
Government to our Ambassador at Constantinople
in December last. - It is a curious specimen of
the style and
,diplomacy of . Barbarians.. In-
„volved.and obscure to such a degree as to be-
come in' certain parts AlniOst unintelligible, it
still. displays considerable art. It glosses over
all the acts of atrocity committed by the people,
encouraged, if not commanded, by the. Govern-
ment, and makes - the Sublime Porte. appear, a
most harmless and peace-loving Power, unjustly
threatened by the ambition of a mightier neigh-
bour, and' disposed to make every , concession
rather than to endanger the repose of Europe.—
These concessions,, however, are little more than
nominal. On no single point does the Porte pro-
propose to abandOn her objects ; she only,consents
~to" adjourn" their attainment. As she finds Rus-
sia resolute in her refusal to surrender up the
Greeks Refugees to torture and assassination, she
64 adjourns her just claim upon them." The de-
mand .that she should evacuate the. Principalities
.of Wallachia' and Moldavia, according to exist-
ing treaties, is met by, a declaration that such a
proposal, if persisted in,. would be " a thing con-
trary to the rights of men and of Governments."
A middle course is then suggested, which is a
complete evasion ; for it would leave those pro-
vinces in the occupation of, her Officers and troops,
only diminished it) number, and would postpone
the restoration of their ancient form.of Govern-
ment, though guaranteed by treaty, to the,, pe-
riod when, the Greeks had been entirely crushed.
---The manner in which the question of the re-
building of -Churches is treated, is equally -eva7
sive. All positive pledge on this subject is
wanting. After jhe rebellion shall have been"sub-
dued, "consent will be given, as far as the law
allows, to the repairing and reconstruction ot the
Churches which" formerly eisted." .Now it is a
fact that the Mahometan laNi does not permit
the: building, ,of.;thristian Churches; ,vague
consent :promised, .but tot given.,js therefore
domPetely nugatory •when coupled with
.snch a
condition. With respect to the freeiexercise of
the Christian' Religion itself, the assurance is
stillimore insignificant, as the Potte'enly appeals
to her past conduct on that subject—an appeal •
which can only have been made through'an igno-
rantiieligf tbat.no history ofOttotnatipolicy had.
ever,been•written. An attempt-iS made .to .jus:
tify .the executions Which were then daily taking
place at Constantinople (the wholesile massa-
cres are left quite out of the question) by de-
claring that the greatest care was taken to sever
the innocent'from the-guilty.

[MORNING, HER -41.A.1

It some time sinte.we have had any authea
tic documents relating to the question solong
pending betweelohe Porte and Russia.. We
therefore looked with some interest to an,afficial
note of the V.orte, addressed to Lord Strainford,
which brings the "state of the negociatioasdown
to the- 2d of, last: December '!Fhe toye'of this
document,. whirTT is an indirect answer to the

pretensions of Russia, is not the most amicable
to that power, which, indeed, it openly accuses
of bad faith and ambition. There appears also
a coldness and reserve towards the Austrian Am-
bassador, notwithstanding his being honoured
With the title of Friend of the Porte." But to
Lord Strangford, the Divan is prodigal of com-
pliments, and England is mentioned as the great-
est and most affectionate friend of the Porte,
both Courts (the Turkish and English) being
mutually bound 'to each other by " a' real and
unequivocal friendship." The note next ad-
verts to the refusal .of Russia to deliver up
the fugitive Greek insurgents, as a violation of
the law of nations, and treats the Russian de-
mand of the evacuation of Moldavia and Walachia
as a pretension, the secret object of which is to
make Russia: a more
.prominent figure (B'w:quer*
du rel ef) in Europe, by shewing what she can
do at her good pleasure. To prove, however, to
its good friends, the English, the `sincere anxiety
of the Sublime Porte for the continuance of peace,
the following is proposed as a modification, by
way of counter-projet. " This affair then (says
the note) maybe modified, in the last resort, as
follows—viz. that until the rebellion shall have
ceased, the two provinces •(Walachia and Mol-
davia) shall continue to be occupied by the offi-
cers therein established by, the Porte, with
merely the' number of troops sufficient to
protect the country against robbers, without
the least vexation, to the Rajahs (Greek sub-
jects;) that the evacuation of the provinces,
and the nomination of Greek Princes in them,
should be postponed ; that as to the affair
of the Greek churches, the Porte will con-
sent to the repair or re-construction of such
as have suffered, so far as the law permits." The
document concludes with. 'soliciting the inter-
ference of England to induce Russia to accept
these terms. Its complexion is scarcely pacific.
There is an evident disingenousness in the allu-
sion to the re-edificatien of the Greek churches
—for it is not the " consent," but the perform-
ance of this act that was demanded biltussia. But
the consent even is hampered with a reservation
which nullifies it—viz. " so far as the law will
permit."—The only plausible indication of the
desire of peace is the pro-posal to postpone their
claim of the delivering up of the Greek fugitives
until the insurrection shall have been suppressed.

I
[BRITISH PRESS.] . ,

-
Every day affords clearer and more certain
proof that the Ministers will not consent to the
reduction of any part of the burdens that now
press upon the people. They have not indeed
ventured so to express themselves in direct
terms, but such is the fair conclusion to be
.drawn from, the general character of their
speeches. Even their reserve, when pressed to
explain themselves upon this important subject,
is alarmingly ominous, and the people, if they
desire an immediate relief, *must look for it to
other counsels. The recent coalition, though it
certainly has brought into the Cabinet a largein-
crease of influence, ought not to deter the people
from. still pressing their demands in Parliament
and if the public feeling be unequivocally ex-
pressed in- support of the motions which will
be made in the house of - Commons by the
sincere advocates of economy and retrenchment,
the Ministers must yield a considerable portion
of the taxes. Mr. Brougham's speech on , Mon-
day night placed the justice and necessity of a
reduction in the amount of the taxes in the clear-
est and most satisfactory light, and the country
has seen with how much levity and indifference
the matter was treated by the Marquis of Lon- i
donderry. The Noble Secretary gave no an-
swer
to Mr. Brougham's statements of facts, nor
did he venture to deny the propriety and cor-
rectness of his' inferences. Mr. Brougham's able
exposition of the effects Of the return to cash
payments upon the actual_ amount of the taxes,
involved a question not merely of expediency but
of justice. The alteration in the intrinsic value
of the currency has produced a grievous effect
upon all persons who stood in the relation
of debtors, their engagements having been al-
most suddenly increased fifteen) twenty, and
even in some instances twenty-five per cent.—
The contributors of taxes stand in this relation
to the Crown, and they have of course endured a
like measure of severity. In the cases of private
contracts the legislative • power of the empire
cannot interfere to relieve a debtor frOm the con-
sequences of this measure, although no foresight
of his could have preserved him from its effects;
but in the case of the public, considered in the
aviation of delitors, Parliament has the power to
interfere, as was suggested by Mr. Brougham,
for the purpose of preserving the income or ca-
pital of the nation from the evileffeets of a legis-
lative act. The Parliament did indeed interfere,
but.how ? It imposed, at the suggestion of the
Ministers of the Crown, additional taxes to the
amount in the reitored "currency •o13,"500,0004 .

[MORNING Chit-ONIGLE.]
Too many of the Gentlemen of England (to
judge frOm the ,Itinguao made use of by them
every dn'y) have_very incorrect notions with re-
spect to the present distress, and the means by
which that distress may be mitigated. At the
Late public meetings, several, joined in the con-
demnation of wasteful expenditure, and the call
for economy and retrenchment, w"ho, we have
every reason to think, still ,hope that an unfa-
vourable. year or two would produce a continu-
ance of high prices, and enable them to receive
undiminished rents, without renouncing their
slfare of the good things which an enormous
taxation enables MiniSters to 'give away. The
Members who share these sentiments (would
they were fewer in number l) will gladly listen
to any excuse offered by Ministeri for delaying
the work of retrenchment, and keeping up all
our ruinous establishments ; and in-the hopes of
'high prices, they will swallow the admirable suc-
cedaneum which Lord Londonderry is to give
for .reduced taxation, with the same ease with
which they voted with Mr. Vansittart, in 1811,
that the promissory notes of the Bank of Eng=
land' had hitherto been, and were at that time
held to he, in public estimation, equivalent to
the legal coin of the realm ! An unfavour-
alile season may undoubtedly' (so long as the

trade in corn is not free) once more -raise
prices very high, but this rise will as cer-
tainly be followed by a ruinous depression. The
gentlemen of England may depend upon it, that
prices cannot permanently be kept in any one
country much above the level of those of other
countries. If they knew their real interest, they
would endeavour to put an end to this ruinous
oscillation- as soon as posSible, by removing the
obstacles in the way of a return to a free trade.
These obstacles are the taxes, which raise the
price of production here so much beyond that of
other countries; and the first thing to be done,
therefore, -is, to diminish taxation and expendi-
ture with an unsparing hand.
[NEW TIMES.]
Mr. brougham's speech was exactly such an
one as' we anticipated, very long, very ingenious,
very eloquent, but altogether inconclusive and
unsatisfactory. It might suffice to say, that his
argument of four hours reduced itself to a single
proposition, which single proposition another
Member of Opposition encountered with a
direct negative. Mr. Brougham said, 44 Tax-
ation is the cause of the present agricultural
distress"—Mr. Ricardo said, " Taxation is. not
the cause of the present agricultural distress."—
In deference to both these Hon. Gentlemen,
however, it maybe proper to look- a little more
closely into their respective arguments. We
fully agree with Mr. Brougham, that the late
war was one of unexampled magnitude.—" Every
sea," says he, 44 was covered with our fleets—
every part of the' world was filled with our
armies--we were surrounded with vast perils—
great battles were fought abroad—at home we
were not free from danger and apprehension."—
Through such a tempest the vessel of the State
held on her way, certainly not unshaken, cer-
tainly not without the dread and the imminent
hazard of being dashed to pieces among the
breakers, or swallowed up in the yawning
gulph ; but by the blessing of God, and the
energy of her-brave crew, she weathered the
storm. Is any- one weak enough to sup-
pose that so wonderful au exertion of national
power could have been made without straining
our resources to the utmost ? Can we suppose
that a war for liberty and existence, a war in
which we stood alone against the Conqueror of
the Continent, and triumphed, was to, be main-
tained without disturbing the nice arrangements
of property, or interfering with the steady and
regular course of industry ? No. All interests
in their turn have been benefited : all in their
turn have suffered : but though we deeply and
sincerely regret that the landed interest is at
the present moment involved in so much dif-
ficulty and distress, - yet we cannot. regret
those exertions by which the whole nation
has been saved from utter destruction. There
was one part of. Mr. Brougham's speech abOve
all praise. It was where he contemplated the
possible" ruin of the landed interest," and ex-
plained what could alone be meant by that phrase.
‘4 People talked," he said, C 4 of the ruin of the
landed interest; but it was not meant to say that
the proprietors would be dekxoyed ; that the
land would become sterile, or sink into the sea,
or that the houses would be levelled, and the
owners exterminated. No : what was meant to
be understood by the ruin of a great class; and
by the destruction of one 'of the most com-
manding. interests in the' country was shortly
this—a great change of property—much indi-
vidual misery ; the whole relations of the class
destroyed, both those which it bore as a class to
the rest of society, and those which its members
bore to each other ;"—and elsewhere he spoke
of this supposed event .as one, which should it
ever happen, must involve " the laying • waste
of a large and fair portion
.of England, the
breaking up of all endearing connexions, the de-
struction of all local attachments,the most fright-
ful agonies to which the human mind could be
subjected."—This is indeed a dreadful picture ;
but, God be thanked, it is, and we trust ever
will be, in this island purely imaginary. But we
have seen it realised with 'tenfold horror in a
country within view of our own shores. We
have seen the whole gentry of France—the• en-
tire -landed interest—robbed,' plundered, pro-
scribed, ruined—not by excessive taxation, but
by a power which rose up against all taxes—not
by the necessary expenditure of a defensive war,
but by the rapine and devastation of a general
anarchy; not by theoretical defects in the na-
tional representation, but by mad Reform, swell-
ing quickly into Revolution.

HOLVIIEAD ROAD.—The centre of Corwen
Bridge was carried away by the torrent last
week, but it was immediately repaired; and on
Saturday a mass of Penilyog Mountain near
Ogwen Pool, .detached itself, and fell into the
road. On the mail coach arriving at the place,
bags were conveyed by the guard •in a chaise to
Shrewsbury, and the obstruction was, next day,
cleared.

HIGHWAY ROBBERIES.--Monday night two
daring robberies were committed in illackfriar's-
road ; the first on Mr. WYLDE, a banker's clerk,
residing in Prospect-place, Lambeth, and the
second on SARAH CARRUTHERS, servant to Mr.
YONAS, watch7maker, No. 12,John-street. They
were severally attacked by a gang, consisting of
three men, who robbed Mr. W. of a gold re-
peater, and the girl of her shawl, and a.silk um-
brella belonging to her master.
CORONER'S - Inquisition was
taken yesterday at the White Lion, opposite St.
Giles's Church, before Mr. STIRLING, one of the
Middlesex Coroners, on the body of Mary Lees,
otherwise Duggan, who lost her life at a wretched
brothel, 41, Charles-street, Drary-lane, where
she cohabited with Wm. Abbot, the keeper of
the house, who was remanded at Marlborough-
street Police on the preceding day, on the charge
of having murdered her. Verdict—" Wilful
Murder against Wm. Abbott."—An Inquest was
also held last night at the Grange Inn, Carey.
street, before GELL, Esq., on the body of
a man unknown, which was found on Monday
night near Arundel Stairs. The deoeased ap.
peered to be about 40 years of age ; he had on a
jacket, waistcoat and trowsers, all of fustian;
the body must have been in the water more titan
a week. Verdict—" Found drowned."
