yet very imperfectly understood, or that the
matchless and inviolable charter of 1814, to dis-

deemed by some persons a crime against liberty,

- - • YOUTH AND AGM
OH ! .could we but keep unsuißeeting
Our hearts as they beat in our youthl

The viees of 1i undetecting,
:And pure as the birthday oftruth ;
'Twould be worth all the books of the sages;

Who sought hninan nature within ;
And sullied their souls and their pages,
With records of sorrow and sin.

Tor what do we learn but the story
That man will our confidence blight ?
And the longer we study, the more he
Displays his dark soul to the sight.
Till grieved at thE sad repetition
Of crimes that our feelings have crust ;
In. age we are cursed with suspicion,
-- . And childhood's warm heart is quite lost.

When thus disappointment shall rive it
The love which it felt was in vain ;
'Twas wounded too deep to survive it,
'Tis too cold to enkindle again.
No rays of affection can fire.it, •
But vacant and lifeless it lies ;
Till a soul eves' youthful inspire it,
And a world without guilt shall arise.

BRIGHTON, FEB. 19.—The KING to-day took
an airing in an open carriage on the Lewes Road,

an absence of between two and three hours, re-
turned to the Palace about four o'clock.

A Mediterranean packet. yesterday brough
,etters.,of„the 6th inst. from Gibraltar. One o

them explains" the recent misunderstanding be-
tween the Swedish Consul and the Government
at Tangier, by observing that it arose from some
inadvertent expression in a letter which was
probably misunderstood by the person who ren-
dered it-into Arabic. The translator had been
thrown ihto prison to answer for his conduct. It

is added, tht the Emperor of MOROCCO enter-
tains no hostility to the Swedish nation ; the flag
continues to be •hoisted at the house of the Con-
sulate, and the interpreter has leave, till his re-
turn, to act.
In consequence of a petition from a number of

siiresenting the bad quality-Of the beer sold in
that town, the latter have -given notice to the
publicans, that if they are not,in future supplied
by their landlords, the brewers, with good whole-
'4)rne beet', according to the present price of malt
and- hops, such as their customers approve of,
they (the Magistrates) 'will grant' the innkeepers'
licences to free houses in kuy part of the town
*here they can get the same.

lately returned from. India. On Saturday
night, she, accompanied by her son (deceased),

aforesaid ship, set out in a waterman's boat from
Black wall Stairs to meet the Wellington Graves-
end packet boat, by which she meant to go to
her husband on board the Lord Melville, she
not having seen him for some years. The night
eras very dark, and on the boat getting down the,
River opposite the Gun Tavern it was overtaken
Or the Wellington packet, which suddenly ran
itidown, and the water Man and all the passen-
gol were plunged into the River. They all how-
ever escaped by clinging to the dead eyes of the
rigging of .the paget, with the exception of
the two deceased, who, after, struggling for some
minutes, sunk to rise no snore.. They were
dragged 'for neat day (Sunday), and both pulled
up together, the -boy
entwined in his mother's
arms.---Verdict,—Accidental Death-, with a deo-
dand of 51. on the Wellington packet.

. WALKING. STEWART.

The Gentleman,,generally known by this de-
Signation, died, Yesterday, at his apartments, in
NorthUmberiatid-Street, Strand. Ile wasbriginally
educated at the.: Charter House, 'and afterwards
went to India as a writer in the service of the Ho-
nourable East India CoMpany. Soon after he ar-
rived there he found so 'many practices, which .he
deemed abuses, that hc, thought it his duty to ad-
dress them on the subject. But not finding that
attention to his suggestions which he expected, he
addressed them again, .intimating that if no re-.
form took place he should leave the service. His
advice, from whatever motives, being still disre-
garded, he abandoned his situation, and pro-
ceeded with an intention to join some of the
Native Powers in amity' with this country,,
to procure employment. A guard, however, was
sent after him, and he received a severe wound
on making some resistance. Ile was broughtl
back, but-again quitted the 'British territories for
the Same purpose. Was taken bi,,HI7DER
ALI, who ordered him to join his army as a Sol-
dier, or threatened to treat him as a spy. He was,
therefore, obliged to fight against Some of the.
Native Powers with w•hOtn RYDER was at war,
and received several waunds in different engage-
ments. Ile was afterwarai employed as Secretary
to the Nabob. of 'Alibox, , and, ,expended a
large sum in giving ofliical entertainments, by
`order of his master. At.; length having ac-
quired moderate means, of iubsistence, after
travels through every. part, of the world
except China, he returned to this country
and during the French, revolution vested 'his
nioney in. the French,runds. The vast depre-
ciation in those funds, and the uncertainty of
payment, reduced him to great distress, but he
was kindly relieved by the husband of .his de-
parted sister. He then went to America and

supported himself some time, by delivering lec-
tures on Moral Philosophy. The peculiarity of
his tenets, however, and the latitude of his opi-
nions on religious subjects, procured him few audi-
top, and he returned to this country, deriving his
resources chiefly from 1001. a year from France,
which was regularly paid to him, through Mr.
COUTTS, as he had agreed to take that annual sum
instead of an annuity of 3001., for which he had pH=
ginally subscribed. From an apprehension that
the revolutionary principles of France were gain-
ing ground
,in thiS country, and would produce
commotions, if not a, subversion of the Govern-
ment, he went again to America, but finding that
the wise measures and. vigorous firmness 'of Mr.
PITT had secured Great Ilritain from the political
contagion, he returned to.this country, where he
remained. On the projected arrangementof the Na-
bob of ARCOT'S affairs he: put in his claims, and,
after references to the competent authorities in the
East Indies, there was an award in his .favour to
the amount of many thousand pounds. He pre-
cipitately dispw:A of a considerable part of that
property, securing himself an annuity of six
hundred pounds, on which be lived sparingly
himself, but with liberality to his friends, giving pe-
riodical dinners, and latterly concerts every even-.
lug te his friends,and all whom they thought proper
to intreduce to him. His doctrines were founded
wholly on MATERIALISM, but he always incul-,
cated philanthropy and moral duty. He entitled
the first work that he published in this country,
" Travels to Discover the Polarity of Moral
Truth." lie compared truth to the operation of
the mariner's compass, which always inclines to-
wards the north, but never settles to a fixed
point. He therefore went to various countries, in
order to ascertain whether,,in their several piaci...7
ples of morality, he could discover a precise Stand-
ard of Moral Truth. He subsequently published
innumerable tracts on , the same subject. His
language was sopeculiaryso many scientific terms
were applied to, moral .purposes, and his style
was altogether of so original a cast, that feW took
the pains to understand him, and many. considered
his tenets as wholly unintelligible. The main. point
of his doctrine was to induce mankind to conduct
themselves with tenderness-to all sentient beings
who came within their province, not from mere
motives of humanity, but on the grounds of
self-interest, as the matter which formed man-
kind would, after death, form parts of other
animals ; and therefore,. by mitigating their
sufferings, we might lessen our own - when
we became parts of them. . lie was aiu
enemy to. the infliction of pain of every kind,
and a zealous friend to.. universal benevolence.
When he first returned to this country, he ap-
peared in Armenian attire,. and attracted notice
by. a long, beard; and whenletassumed the Euro=
pean dress he affected singularity, not from va=
iiity, but to excite.attenti4,4o,..his person, as it
might lead to an inquiry ititoC his doctrines, which
he considered as of the iftmpitiMportance to sen-
sitive matter in ths.humanlhape, or-in any other
(prin.. He gained very.femccunveits, us his views
were 'deemed wild, visionary) ,and impracticable.
In his person he wasttalkWell-forined,and hand-
.soine;but had latterly inuchdeclitied in his appear-
' mice. - He had obtained by itilection an entire com-
mand of his temper, a'nd' Ali kind and liberal to
all ,who required his assistance.. He was:gene-
rally considered as an Atheist hut, if
"fact, that was
the'ct, he' concealed 'Opinions of late. years,
and,, de-voting his Sunday evening concerts wholly,
to .SA CRtD MUSIC, it-was evident that he did not
wi:s'n to shock the.feelingS of those who differed
from him in religious principles. We have been in-
duced to give this account of him as he was a very
extraordinary'. Man, and was universally known
in all parts of the civilized world, which he had
visited in turn, always in .Walking, never entering
a carriage except in case of absolute- necessity.
His.journies would have been highly interesting.
if he had published an account 'of them, but he
disdained the usual pursuits of travellers, con-
stantly( -answering. inquiries as to the .manners,
customs,. 4c. of the various ,Countries which he-
visited, by stating _that his Were TRAVELS.Ok.TiIE'
MILD in order to ascertain .and develope the Po-
LARITY of MonAltnciTu.

Yesterday afternoon their) Highnesses Prince
and Princess ESTERHAZY arrived at Chandos
House, from the Royal Pavilion ot Brighton,
where they have beet* on a visit to lib MAJESTY.
