(From the National Intelligencer of the 14th March.)

A paragraph is going the rounds of the prints, of which the
following is the import :
" We understand that in consequence of some misunder-
standing among the Naval Officers at Boston, Captains Hull
and. Shaw have been placed under arrest."
Captain Hull, we are informed, is not under arrest. , Captain
Shaw, we regret to hear, is under arrest, and a court Martial
has been ordered for his trial, of which, Captain Tingey is the
President.

CURACOA, FEB. 9.—Two Spanish vessels which were
lately cut out of Carracas Bay have, cojitrary to expectation,
been sold at La Guayra.
Business is very dull, both at Carraccas and La Guayra. At
the former place the government has ordered the male popula-
tion, from 10 to 50 years of age, to take 'up arms in defence of
their country.

SENATE, FRIDAY, MARCH 1.

Mr. K tia, of New York, submitted the -following Resolu-
tion, which was read the first time :

Resolved, That the President of the Senate, and the Speaker
of the House of Representatives, do adjourn their respective
Houses on, the first Monday of April next.

PROHIBITION OF FOREIGN SPIRITS.

Mr. FINDLY laid the following Resolution on the table for
consideration :

Resolved, That the Committee on Commerce and Manufac-
tures be instructed to inquire into the expediency of prohibiting
the importation of Spirits.
Mr. F. followed his motion with a speech of some length, to
shew that a prohibition of the importation of foreign spirits
would operate very beneficially-on the interests of the whole
republic, particularly on those of the grain states : that it would
be attended with much of the good and none of the evil of a
sumptuary.law, so far as regards the use of ardent spirits, &c.
The resolution lies on the table one day.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.)

RIOT AT KNIGHTSBRIDGE.
THE KING V. JOHN FLY.
This was an indictment against the defendanf,
for having, with upwards of 200 others, riotously
assembled on the 26th of August, and assaulted
Frederick. Delicat. The prosecution was or-
dered by the Lords of the Treasury. It will
be recollected that the tumult took place on the
day of the funeral of Honey and Francis proceed-
ing to Hammersmith. The case was conducted by
Messrs. ADOLPHUS and WALFORD for the prose-
cution; Mr. ALLEY "conducted the defence. Joseph
Frick, Frederick Delicat, John Taylor, and seve-
ral others of the Ist Regiment of Life Guards, de-
posed to the riots by the assembling of the
mob, the attack upon Frederick Delicat, and the
breaking of the windows of the Barracks ; it
appeared also that Joseph Freck had been
beaten and his medal torn from his breast;
the conduct of the mob was described as
being most outrageous.---Mr. ALLEY, for the
defendant, made an eloquent speech to the Jury,
bespeaking their verdict for his client.—The
CHAIRMAN briefly summed up the evidence with
his accustomed precision and impartiality, and
the Jury, after consulting for a few moments, re-
turned a verdict of Not Guilty.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE F..ILSUM AUDEAT

LONDON,
FRID,IY, APRIL 12, 1822.

A report prevails in the City that, after the
Russian Ultimatum had been refused, the Turks
made some new proposal, on which the Diplo-
matic Characters were left debating, and it was
expected it would take some time before they
came to a conclusion.

Letters from Constantinople of thelsth ult. posi-
tively assert, not only that the Russian Ultimatum
has been rejected, but that a levy en masse has
been ordered by the Porte. Letters from Odessa,
on the other hand, of the same date, represent
every thing as quiet, and state that the exchange
was improving, and that there was no appearance
of hostility !—Unfortunately the intelligence
from Turkey is not only generally obscure, in
consequence of the defective means of informa-
tion, and of the public ignorance and barbarism ;
but it is too frequently distorted to suit the pur-
poses of private commercial speculations. In a
few days,however, the whole truth must be known,
as respects the present state of the relations be-
tween Russia and Turkey. Our opinion remains un-
shaken, that it is a state of incipient war. The fero-
cious Turkish populace and Janissaries, as we have
often remarked, are not of a humour to submit
to the demands of Russia, even if the Divan and
the GRAND SIGNOR. were ready to prostrate
themselves at ALEXANDER'S feet. The SULTAN
himself would probably pay with the forfeit of
his head for yielding to terms dictated by the
detested Russians, and terms which are so ha.
miliating in themselves to the arrogance of the
Mussulmans. Russia, on the other hand, is no
doubt far from being disposed to lower her tone,
merely in consequence of the lofty attitude and
insulting language assumed by the Turks. It is

IMPROMPTU,
Addressed to a LADY on her BIBTII.DAY.
Dear.NANCY, as this is the day of thy birth,
Miy it pass off with peace, if not heighten'd by mirth,
And I heartily hope each return of the day
May find thee still ifrosperous, healthy, and gay-.
This, perhaps, is my last Anniversary Stare, .
And 'ere twelve months roll on I may sink to the grave,
But whate'er be my doom in this troublesome life,
May'st thou always be happy, if Widow or Wife,.
With ev'ry choice blessing that Heaven can send;
So wishes thy Poet, thy Husband, thy Friend.

THE THEATRES.

COVENT-G A RDEN.—It was very gratifying to
see the benefit of Miss TREE last night attended
by a very numerous and elegant audience. The
play was Cymbeline, and we may fairly venture'
to say that the part of Imogen never had a more
interesting representative than Miss NI. TREE. She
evidently had studied it thoroughly, and i❑ every
scene acquitted herself with critical correctness,
as well as with grace, feeling, and expres-
sion. In the course of the part she intro-
duced songs which appeared to be incidental,
and which she sung so admirably as to call
for unanimous encores. The parts of /achinto
and Posthumous had all requisite support of
judgment and feeling from YOUNG and MACREAD Y.
Miss M. TREE, at the end of the play, treated her
friends with a musical melange, consisting of
songs from herself, Miss STEPHENS, Miss HAL-.
LANDE, PYNE, DURUSET, and ISAACs. A daughter
of Mr. T. COOKE also came forward and sung
with such ability as might be expected from so
able a tutor. NICHOLSON, with his flute, and
Miss SHARP, with her harp, added much to the
general gratification ; and ANGRIS ANI and Miss
STEPHENS sung an Italian duet with so much
spirit and humour that they were obliged to sing
it three times. The whole concluded with the
entertainment of The Brother and Sister, in
which Miss M. TREE, for the first time, sup-
ported the part of Rosanthe with all that
simple grace and humour which might be ex.
pected from the good sense and good taste
which invariably mark her acting. The popu-
larity which this actress has acquired is a proof
of the good taste and liberality which are still to
be found in a British audience.

HAymAnKET.—The comedy of The Suicide,
so creditable to the talents of the elder COLMAN,
was well attended last night, and the characters
were in general so well allotted to the performers
that it went of with great applause. The part
of Tobine was supported with so much spirit and
humour by Mr. C. KEMBLE that he strongly
reminded us of its first representative, the
late JOHN PALMER, and we cannot pay
him a higher tribute of applause. The new
sketch of _ The Bill of Fare continues to excite
laughter. ORBERRY conceived that Theyuicide
was a play of five acts, and therefore he did not
appear in the last act. He was received with
disapprobation on his entrance in the farce, but a
modest and feeling apology restored good humour.
This slight disapprobation, however, arising
merely from this circumstance, has, we per-
ceive, led to an erroneous supposition in a
Morning Paper that it was directed against
the repetition of The Suicide, too good a Comedy
and too well supported not to be attractive
through the season.
London, England, 1822-06-20

MASONIC MELODIES.

We feel great pleasure in calling the attention of our brethren
to the Masonic Ode, composed by Brother Dr. CHARD, and
performed before the M. W. Grand Master, his Royal High-
riess the Duke of SUSSEX, at the Installation of the R. W.
Prov. Grand Master for Hampshire, Sir WfwAlvt DE CRES.•
PIGNY, in August last, and which has lately been published,
with an accompaniment for the organ or piano-forte, and dedi-
cated by permission to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sus-
SEX. It is a delightful composition. The air is beautiful and
expressive, and the chorus solemn and harmonious. The va-
riation of emphasis in the second verse of the Melody is judi-
cious, and the ornaments in the third are tasteful and ingenious,
whilst the excellence of the bass proves the whole composition
to emanate from the hand of a master. Dr. CHARD is the
Prov. Grand Organist for Hampshire. Holding this high sta-
tion in the Craft in that Province, we trust his eminent musical
talents will often be devoted to the cause of Masonry. We
have frequently had the gratification of experiencing the effect
of his great skill, both as a composer and a performer, and we
well know how much it is in his power to adyance his own re-
putation, and to promote the objects of our excellent institu-
tion, if it were exerted in its cause. In Germany, it is well
known that the most celebrated composers have been proud to
dedicate their talents to giving effect and solemnity to cere-
monies, which, however imposing and impressive in them-
selves, cannot fail to excite additional interest from the power-
ful aid of music; whilst in England, Masonic music, if not
wholly neglected, has not in general received that attention, or
been cultivated with that care, which it merits. We trust,
however, that with the increasing prosperity of the Order it
will become an object of consideration, and that at no distant
period the Masonic music of England may vie with that of our
brethren in Germany or any other part of the Continent.

ALIEN BILL.

Mr. Secretary PEEL postponed the Committee on the Alien

subject of the Police of the Metropolis for the sth of July.
AGRICULTURAL PETITION.
Sir WILLIAM ROWLEY presented a Petition from the
Parish of Belford, in Suflblk, complaining of agricultural dis-
tress, and praying for Parliamentary Reform. -
Mr. COKE seconded the prayer of the Petition, and spoke
of the respectability of the Petitioners. They had met with
every discouragement from the-Magistrates of the County, who
would not convene a meeting according to their request, and
they had long lost all confidence in the Hon. Member opposite
for the County.
Mr. GOOCH said, that the Hon. Member opposite spoke as
though he were the emperor of the whole landed interest of the
country. He was convinced the Magiitrates had acted justi-
fiably.; and, as for the Petitioners having lost confidence in
him, they never gave him any. confidence, nor be them.
Mr. WESTERN thought, that Magistrates acting in this
way to the interdiction of petitioning, ought to undergo inquiry
in that House, and were deserving of the utmost reprobation.
Mr. HUME said, that was one of many instance of the im-
propriety of putting Clergymen into the Commission of the
Peace.
The Petition was then read, and ordered to be printed.
The Hon. Baronet presented a similar Petition from another
Parish in: Suffolk ; and a Petition from the Ship-owners of the
. Port 6f Woodbridge, in Suffolk, against the Navigation-bill.

l'he CHAIRMAN doubted the prudence of the last Speaker,
apn4,thought he had better have been silent. The doctrine of
es:stance on the part of the Indians had better not have been
Fnyoned. He acknowledged that the resistance of the pro-
i°tV.of the Government by the Court of Directors was of very
Importance. He quoted the third Report of the last 5e5.,104.,
.,104., Committeent on Foreign Trade, to shew, that when Mr.
the Was examined as to the effects that would result from
0,, employment of small ships in the trade to India, Mr.

ofo een of great use, and he hoped this would be of the same.

Ireland injudicious, and he' was only waiting for the Report
of the Commissioners of InqUiry to introduce some measure
to alter it.

Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON said any alteration would be
aCceptable to the persons interested in this trade in Ireland:
Atter a few words from Mr. V. FITZGERALD, the Petition
was read and ordered to be printed.

atiatier number, though the date Ol
his title be but of yesterday, and though the
other may trace his descent to the period of the
Norman Conquest. In Scotland, till lately,- it
was perhaps different. Their descent "was of
more consequence than title. Except in so far
as Parliamentary power_is concerned, the Aristo-
cracy possess no other influence than what they
derive from their talents, or the ascendancy of the
purse. The difference between America and Eng-
land appears therefore to be chiefly this; that in
the latter the ascendancy of the purse, in so far as

it is opposed to merit, is aided by the possession
of a direct power and influence, which enable it
to prey with impunity on the,rest of the commu-
nity, and to render the influence of virtue, merit,
and intellect., much less than they would other-
wise be. The Purse will, in all countries, have
an ascendancy ; but, in America, this ascendancy
is the onlycone which merit can have to encoun-
ter.—lt seems to us that the abuses inseparable
from uncontrouled power, of the nature of that
to which we have been alluding, are not easily
reconcilable with the spirit of an enlightened age,
and that a crisis can hardly be at a very great
distance. We shall see.

dispatches which he has brought to Prince Met-
ternich, it has been inferred that all hopes of
preserving peace are illusory, and the Austrian
funds have accordingly experienced a new
decline. Count Golowkin and M. de Tatischeff,
it is affirmed, 'have completed the negociations
with which they were charged. It seems that
the Treaty of 1788 is renewed, by which Aus-
tria and Russia engaged to act in concert against
the Porte. This Treaty fixed also the number
of auxiliary troops which the first of these
Powers was to bring into the field. In Turkey
all is in motion ; Tartars, with dispatches, de-
part successively from Constantinople, to repair
to the different Pachalicks of the Empire. The
Pacha of Belgrade, in particular, has received
important orders relative to the arrival of numer-
ous corps in Servia, where a considerable army
is to be formed as a check on the cordon of,Aus-
trian troops posted towards the extreme frontier
of the Bannat of Tameswar. The Ottomans are
likewise reinforcing themselves in Bosnia and
Turkish Croatia, a report having been spread
that the Austrian army (which was to come from
Italy through the Venetian territory) was going
to take up a position in Illyria, and that the
head-quarters of this army would he at Carlo-
witz, the capital of Austrian Croatia."
SEMLIN (HUNGARY) A PR IL 4.—Servia is threat-
ened with a crisis. The Pacha of Belgrade de.
mands the disarming of the inhabitants, but the
authorities have decidedly refused to comply
with the request. The Turks are in consequence
preparing to march on Nissa, and the Servians
are sending away their families on the other side
of the river to the territory of Hungary.
BANKS OF TUE ELLIE, Aram 10.—It is said that
Denmark is placed in a similar situation to that
of 1807. The possession of Helsuigor by the
English would be attended with the worst con-
sequences to the German Provinces. Cromwell
conceived the idea of obtaining possession of this
Key of the Sound ; and it is to be apprehended
that England will now establish herself there
permanently.

numerous, after the concert adjourned to another room, where
refreshments hat', been abundantly provided for them by the
Lady of the Mansion.
BURNS THE POET.—Mr. FLAXMAN, whose ta-
lents as a Sculptor do honour to our country, and would have
done so to any other at any period, has composed a Model of a
Statue to the memory of the Caledonian Bard. The Poet is
represented in his native costume, in the attitude of contempla-
tive reflection ; in his right hand is placed the Mountain Daisy,
emblematical of one of his sweetest poems ; in his left he holds
a roll, on which are engraved the words, " Cotter's Saturday
Night," a poem equally remarkable for its genuine piety and
poetical simplicity. The likeness to Buaws is very striking,
being executed from the original portrait by NASMYTH, pro-
cured for the occasion by Mr. FLAXMAN't from the venerable
Widow of the Bard. The Statue, which is to be colossol, and
of bronze, will be placed, by the kindness of the Magistrates of
Edinburgh, in one of the most appropriate situations in the
New Town of that City.
SUCCESSOR. TO MR. CANNING.—WC have been
informed, on what we deem good authority, that the friends of
Mr. GLADSTONE have been canvassing in the interest of that
Gentleman.—( Liverpool Mercury.)
There were two elections on Monday at the Society of Arts
and Sciences. The first was for a Vice-President of the So-
ciety, in the room of the late Sir NATHANIEL CONANT Mr.
Hoea was elected. The, second was the annual election for
the Presidency of the Department of Polite Arts : Mr.
WARREN, the engraver, was returned.

THE THEATRE.

KING'S THEATRE.—The splendouro ft he Court
was last night transferred to this theatre, and,
perhaps, never before was there so magnificent
a display of fashion, elegance, and beauty. The
temptation of shewing the grandeur of their at-
tire was not to be resisted by the female visitants,
and every box was filled at an early hour. A
new Opera was brought forward, under the title
of Pietro L'Eremita. It is an ingenious modi-
fication of the Oratorio of Moses in Egypt,
which was performed during the late Oratorio
season at -Covent-garden Theatre. There are
many additions, and the music altogether does
honour to the genius and science of Rossisr.
As stage plays derived from HOLY-WRIT are pro-
perly prohibited in our theatres, the whole story
has therefore been re-cast ; Pharoah is changed
into the Egyptian Sultan Noraddin, and Moses
into Peter the Hermit. We have no room for
particulars, but it would be unjust to omit saying
that the Opera, which is a grand composition, is
brought forward with all requisite splendour and
picturesque beauty, and that it was through-
out admirably supported by the Performers.—
Signora CAMPORESE, and Signora RONZI ne BE.-
GNIS, acquitted themselves most ably in singing
and acting. The same may be said of CURIONI,
CARTONI, BEGREZ, &c. Signor ZUCCHELLI, who
holds a very high reputation abroad, fully justi-
fied that reputation by the powers of his voice, a
very fine full-toned bass, his science, and the
merit of his acting, in the part of Noraddin. He
was most warmly received, and shared amply in
the general applause. A LuEar danced for the last
time, much to the *egret of the audience.—
He determined to leave the best impression on
the public, and even surpassed all his former ex-
cellence. M. PAur., a very celebrated Dance-
abroad, came forward, and deservedly gathered
new laurels. He is a remarkably fine dancer,
and in a new style. NOBLET, who had been an-
nounced as having quitted this Theatre, appeared
last night, and she had every reason to be grati-
fied with her reception. The whole did -not
conclude till a very late hour, and even then the
audience appeared to retire with reluctance.
They were, however, highly gratified, before
their departure, with " God save the King,"
which was sung on the Stage in honour of the
day, and received with an universal glow of
loyal animation.
Dautt-s--1, N E.-The Man of the World, with
even the support of KEAN'S Sir Pertinax, was
not very attractive last night. There was a
change in the performance. Miss S. BOOTH hav-
ing closed her engagement, the part of Lady
Rodolpha was assigned to Mrs. GLOVER, who
supported it with characteristic gaiety, spirit,
and judgment. The farce was Past Ten o'clock.
" The King's Health" was incidentally intro-
duced and given as a toast, and received with
11 such zeal' by the audience as to occasion a uni-
versal call for 64 God save' the King." KNIGHT
came forward and stated, that, with their per-
mission, it would be given at the end of the farce.
It was then sung by the whole of the vocal corps,
and received with warm and reiterated plaudits
at every stanza.

DREADFUL CONFLAGRATIONS.

Last night, about half-past eleven o'clock, a
most alarming fire, attended with the most cala-
mitous circumstances, was discovered in the
workshop of Mr. WHITE, Shipwright and Boat-
builder, at Rotherhithe-wall, near the Fountain.
stairs ; and before any means could be procured
to stop its progress, the destructive elementburst
forth with tremendous violence, and carried every
thing away before it with uncontroulable fury,
and the only approach to the burning building
was, unfortunately, so enveloped in flames that
it could not be come at without the utmost
peril. In a short period the flames commu-
nicated to the granaries of Mr. THOMAS, lately
held by Mr. EvANs, which immediately be-
came one solid body of flame. The devouring
element soon spread its ravages to the adjoining
stores and granaries of Mr. EvANs, and crossed
the road to other of his premises. Messrs.
RIGBY'S and FORNAN'S extensive premises also
fell a sacrifice, and near one o'clock the scene
became truly awful, and persons in a state of
nudity were traversing the streets in a state of dis-
traction, most of their residences being in flames.
The flames having attained their height,the firemen
turned their attention on the " Old Justice" pub-
lic-house, which was sound. The Sun and London
Insurance Companies' floating engines having ar-
rived, an immense column of water was thrown
on the fire and adjoining buildings, and the pre-
mises of Messrs. SPECK and REDMAN were saved
with difficulty. A very fair idea may be formed
of the loss of grain when we state that the
populace, for several streets considerably be-
yond the flaming buildings, were ancle deep in
grain. No idea can be formed as to the origin
of the fire; and we are happy to state no lives
were lost. All the parties were insured in the
full amount.

Another most dreadful and alarming fire broke
out about one o'clock on the premises of Mr.
FEARON, the Jeweller, of the Strand. A Gentle-
man, named GEESON, passing perceived some
smoke coming through the railing, and instantly
gave an alarm ; and a man and servant girl were
taken out of the house, which very soon were a
mass of flames. A strong picquet of the Foot
Guards were on the ground, and prevented every
species of peculation ; and a very strong power
of water being played on the 'house, confined
the dreadful element to one house, which was
completely consumed, with all the stock of jew-
ellery, &0., &c., not one article being saved.
Several of the most distinguished Members of
Parliament, among whom were Lord EARDLEY,
Mr.' PEEL, Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. SMITH, Mr.
CREEVEY, exerted themselves in a way highly
honourable to their courage and feelings.—
Mr. FEARON and family were out of town. It is
said that the fire commenced in the kitchen. The
value of the stock consumed is estimated at
53,000/., and Mr. FEARON is only insured for
20,000/. At one time serious apprehensions
were entertained for the adjoining houses, but
they all escaped. The firemen exerted them-
selves in a praiseworthy manner.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 20.
The Court was occupied the whole day in hearing Nis,
Prius cases of no public interest.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, AtNE 28.
COUPET V. Isi‘CARTHY. ,

In this case the plaintiff, a merchant, brought an action to
recover the value of a house in the island of Mauritius, which
was consumed whilst in the occupancy of the defendant, who
was the Deputy Paymaster General of the island of Mauritius,
and also of the forces at the Cape of Good Hope. The da-
mages sought were 70511. 9s. 2d.
Serjeant BosAXQUET and. Mr. PARK were for the plaintiff;
Serjeants LExs and VAUGHAN for the defendant.
The circumstances of the case were, it appeared, shortly
these :—The plaintiff, who is a merchant, some time in the year
1815 married a Lady who had some property in the Island of
Mauritius, and almost the whole of it consisted in a valuable
house, with its appurtenances, which was in the occupancy of
the defendant, who was the Paymaster of the British Forces in
that island, and also at the Cape of Good Hope. The plaintiff's
property at the time of his marriage was at the Island of Java,
but he sold it, and converted it into rrierchandize, which he
shipped for the Mauritius with a view of enjoying it there with
his wife ; but the ship which contained his all was shipwrecked,
and the whole went to the bottom. Still his wife's property
remained ; but the house occupied by the defendant was con-
sumed by fire, and the whole utterly destroyed. - It is the law of
the Mauritius that the occupier of a house shall be liable for
destruction of it by fire, and it was held for the plaintiff, that,
knowing this law, the defendant ought to have insured the pro-
perty. A suit was instituted against him in the Mauritius for
the recovery of the amount, but he did not appear, and judg-
ment went by default. Commissioners were appointed to assess
the value, and it was the amount of their assessment, and the
interest upon it from 1815, which idthe Mauritius is 9 per cent.
that the present action was brought to recover.
The facts were proved, but some legal objections were taken
as to the miner in which the declaration was laid, and also to
the interest charged. A verdict was taken for theplaintiff, sub-
ject to the opinion of the Judges upon those objections ; but
the Chief Justice expressed his hopes that Government would
pay the unfortunate plaintiff the demand.
The defendant., when applied to for the payment of the sum
in England, pleaded his inability to pay it, and expressed his
hopes that the Government would, as it would be extremely
hard upon him to be the sufferer by the calamity.

ALIEN BILL.

Sir J. MACKINTOSH presented a Petition, most respect-
ably and numerously signed, from the Inhabitants of Leicester,
against the Alien Bill. It had been asserted in that House; that
a great portion of the people was favourable td the Alien Bill,
and that the remainder was indifferent. lie denied that state-;
ment. The Petitioners prayed also for Reform of Parliament
and had stated that if the Rouse of Commons represented 'the
wisher of the people, his Majesty's Ministers Wohld not present
the Alien Bill to it for its sanction. The Petitioners therefore
agreed with hint in maintair.iiT that the people of England was
advtise from the Alien Bill. lie cou'd ha e wished that the
question of Reform had not been mixed -.fith that subject,
but it shelved the feelirigs of the people of Leicester on. both
those subjects. The Petition Was read and ordered to he
