ASH-WEDNESDAY.

Ash.-WEDNESDAY stands conspicuous in the
History of the Ancient Church, fin the severity
of discipline exercised on that day : penitents
appeared before their Bishops with naked feet,
and merely a slight covering over their bodies,
consisting of the coarsest sack-cloth,- ready to
submit to such penance as should be imposed
upon them ; those who were deemed deserving
of exemplary punishment, were first amply
sprinkled with the ashes of the palm tree, or
other evergreens, burnt o❑ the Palm Sunday of
the preceding. year,- and then driven out of the
church door, the whole of the clergy assembled
upon the occasion, following them, repeating the
words of the curse denounced against our first pa-
rents ; cc In the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat
thy bread," a degradation they had again to undergo
on the succeeding Sunday. But such as had sinned
in a less degree were merely marked on the fore-
head with the sign of a cross, and admonished to
continue in the fair course they had began—
" Memento Bono quia pulvis es, et in pulverem re-
verteris ;", " Remember, man, that dust thou art,
and to dust shalt thou return," was the awful
and salutary lesson impressed upon the human
mind, whereby to mortify vanity and humble
pride.

his steady perseverance carries him through tasks in which few
men dare to engage.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.—On Saturday, an elderly man, rather ro-
bust in person and complexion, and wearing a large cocked
hat, and a white riband in his button-hole, walked with a sort
of military strut into the office, and having waited until the
Magistrates were disengaged, he approached the Bench, and
with a stiff bow, begged the favour of an audience.
Mr. MiNSIRTLI. expressed his readiness to attend to him;
and he stated that he was just arrived from France, where he
had been long a resident, and was now on his way to Wexford,
in Ireland, but could proceed no farther for want of money._
He was a descendant of Charlemagne, and cousin to Louis the
XVIII, who some months ago created him a Peer of France,
but, before he could procure his patent, the new Ministry
came into power, and being himself an avowed Liberal,
his expected honours were withheld from him. While he
was endeavouring to obtain redress for this act of injustice, he
heard that his father had died at Wexford, where lie himself
was born, leaving immense property, and that his sisters had
administered to the will, and possesstd themselves of that to
which he was the rightful heir. Upon receiving this intelli-
gence, lie quitted Paris very hastily, and had proceeded thus
far when his finances were exhausted, and he was under-the
necessity of making this application for assistance from the
Magistrates to complete his journey.
Mr. Mixsituu.—Pray, Sir, will you give me leave to ask
if you were ever in confinement?
Applicant—ln confinement, Sir ! what do you mean?
Mr. Mixsirtfia..—Were you ever in a prison
Applicant.—Never in my life, and 1 think the question a
very extraordinary one. You ought to know the treatment
due to a gentleman, though he happens to be in poverty.
Mr. Milisitur.L.—Well,c:,,,Sir, I will be plainer with you :
were you ever in a mad-hous'o,
Applicant (reddening).—A'iniids.:lionse! why do you ask ?
Mr. NI iNsßuit.L.—ilecauSe I believe; you are mad, or at
least deranged in your mind; and I fancy that. is the opinion
of every one who hears me, except, perhaps, the person I am
addressing.
The applicant said he was really at a loss to know-what the
Slagistrate had seen in his conduct, or what he had said tb'tive
rise to such an opinion. lie was in his sober senses, as much.
as any man who heard him.
Sir R. BIRNIE.—WeII, Sir, it may be all very true, but un-
fortunately we have no funds with which to forward your jour-
ney in a manner suited to the dignity of a descendant of Charle-
magne, and I am afraid you must find your way to Wexford
as well as you can without our aid.
Applicant—Very well, Sir.
Mr. 31ixsiluLi. expressed his surprise that he did not apply
for aid to his cousin Louis.

The applicant, without regarding this observation, 'said he
was sorry he had troubled the Magistrates, and should press
his request no further. Ile bowed, and placing his huge cocked
hat on his head with an affected air of dignity, he walked out
of the office.

observation of the classes immediately interested, the public
take no special cognizance of them ; yet are the remotest rami-
fications of society affected, and extensive variations' occasioned
in the nature of
.productive industry, the distribution of the
wealth of the country.
Our ancestors were imperfectly grounded in some economical
principles, yet in matters of general policy they had a correct
ieu tf the objects to be attained. In the preamble of a prin-
eipal act regarding the plantations, it is expressed that—they
being peopled b 7 subjects of this kingdom—the intention pro-
posed is to maintain a greater correspondence and kindness be-
tween them, to keep them in a firmer dependence, to render them
more beneficial and advantageous, to make the navigation to
and from the same more safe and cheap, and, that which com-
prehends all the rest; it being the usage, of other nations to
keep their plantations' trade themselves,' ' to make this king-
dom a staple, not only of the commodities of those plantations,
but also of the commodities of other countries and places for the
supplying of them.'
The colonial possessions of this country, scattered over the
whole world, are not to be considered only as resources of
inexhaustible wealth and 'power ; but as affording the oppor-
tunity, and imposing the duty, of meliorating the condition of
humanity.
having abolished the slave-trade, and standing as yet single
in the discontinuance of it, Great Britain has made regions,
which heyetolore served as an arena where European nations
carried on their contests, the scene for the civilization of a long
despised but interesting portion of mankind. It yet remains to
be seen how far a steady perseverance in this system of benevo-
lence may shame other nations into following our example;
and we may be assured that the ruin, or even the decay of our
West India Colonies would (in addition to the other incalcula-
ble evils which it would bring upon the mother-country) be
hailed by those nations who have obstinately refused to come
iiito the policy of the abolition, as the undoubted consequences
or a *ash experiment, and would be a signal and encouragement
for the indefinite extension of the slave-trade."

LONDON SESSIONS.—(Tins DAY.)

This morning the business of these Sessions
commenced before the Right Honourable the LORD MAYOR,
the Recorder (Newman liNowLEs, Esq.), Messrs. Aldermen
FLOWER, SCHOLEY, BIRCH, ATKINS, &c. On the Grand
Jury being sworn, the Recorder, in his address to them, took
occasion to observe that, in looking over that part of the cal-
ender which related to the City of London, it gave him great
pleasure to notice, that notwithstanding the interval between the
last sessions and the present was much longer than usual, the of-
fences were not more than half the number at that time. It was
also satisfactory to observe, that an offence that had increased
to an alarming extent, he meant street robberies, had also
greatly diminished, and he had no doubt that, under a proper
administration of the law, it might be totally annihilated. The
Grand Jury then retired, and the Court proceeded to the tra-
verse paper.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, JUNE 15.—ST. CLOUD.--The King
-went yesterday in an open carriage, and drove
towards Butard, the rende-avous of the chace, in
the wood of Moutrenit

l'ila'rshal Soult, whom a journal had sent to
command the Sanitary Cordon, set out yesterday
for the waters of Mont-d'or.

LEtPs:c, JUNE 3.—The accounts from the
North are not pacific, and it is still believed
there will he war, because it appears to he ine-
vitable. The exchange of couriers between St.
Petersburgh and Paris is very frequent, from
which it is with reason concluded, that important
negociations are carrying on between the Go-
vernments of those two countries.

A UGSBURGH, JUNE B.—The most recent ac-
counts respecting the affairs of the Levant, re-
ceived by the way of Trieste, state that the
-Capitan Pacha had not yet subjected the interior
of the island of Chios, all the attacks of the
Turks having been repulsed. Great prepara-
-tions for defence were making at Samos, and at
the other islands of the Archipelago. The con-
centration of the naval force of the Greeks is
confirmed. The Egyptian division of the Turkish
fleet was approadhing the island of Candia to dis-
embark troops and ammunition ; but having re-
ceived advice that the Greek ships were sailing
for Candia, the Egyptian vessels sheered off.
The report was general, that the more to attach
the Pacha of Egypt, the Porte had at length
consented to unite the island of Candia to his
Government.

THE IVHIGS OF' 1711.

Mr. GEORGE PLAXTON, in 1711, thus •oddly
describes the Whig patty to which he was op-
posed, in a letter to the Hon. lIENEAGE FINCII,
(afterwards sth Lord WINCIIELSEA.)
" Thus here is a wonderful turn of affairs, yet there is. no
alteration in the Whigs ; they are the same in and out of power,
constant and firm to themselves and principles. Thus we find
that

Strickland in Strickland lives, the point is strong ;
And Catiline sings the old paternal song.
John Lilburn's spirit Osman has put on,.
He squabbles, roars, and's mutinous as John ;
Eats up himself, in hopes of growing greater,
Sour as an oat-cake, hollow as a fritter ;
Compos'd of rancour, pride, and much ill-nature,
Baptiz'd at Meribah, the peevish elfe,
Now chang'd from others, preys upon himselfe.
.‘c Now, as for Whiggs, I have traced them out, and find
them out, and find them predominant in all ranks and orders
of creatures ; every part of the creation is troubled with them,
and you find no set of animals but there are Whigsters among
them.

'" At sea and land, in salt water and fresh, you have them.
Thus, Sir, among the quadrupeds, you have tygers, wolves,
badgers, bears, foxes, jackcalls, chamelions, ratts and mice,
wild cats, foomards, weesels, with a multitude of Whigg
animals.

" Amongst birds we have vultures, kites, screech-owls,
buzzards, rooks, daws, carrion-crows, hawkes, jaycs, cormo-
rants, hen-harrowes, and magpies.
" Amongst fishes, alligators, crocodiles, sharks, porposes,
pikes, gramps, eels, whales, sword-fish, and congers.
" Amongst serpents, vipers, snakes, adders, blind-worms,
scorpions, rattle-snakes, lizards.
Amongst insects, hornets, wasps, flesh-flies, hennals, buggs,
warbles, maggots, punirs, lops, lice, caterpillars, and spiders.
In the kingdom of plants there are nettles, thistles, hemlocks,
tares, quicks, arsmart, and cockle.
But amongst men they abound under the names of knaves,
fools, haughty, hypocrites, discontented, discarded, sour, am-
bitious, proud, ill-natured, silly, malicious, intriguers, cowards,
wheedlers, covetous, cheats, fitz-rebells, liars, and surmizeii-s,
atheists, deists, and nullifidians. In short, every man that is
not loyal, orthodox, and honest, is a Whig.—( Nichols' Illus-
trations of the Literary History of the Eighteenth Century.)

much more likely that the wrath of the Cabinet

of St.Petersburgh will be excited by the insolence
of the Porte than that that insolence should have
the effect of increasing its moderation. The ex-
hibition of Am PAcHA's head on the walls of the
Seraglio was admirably calculated to deprive the
Turks of the last spark of reason. Supposing
the Porte to have been disposed to yield to
Russia, nothing more impolitic than this exhibi-
tion could have been determined on,—certain as
it was to make the current of popular intoxica-
tion run counter to the policy of the Divan. It
seems to indicate, therefore, that the Government
itself is as infatuated as its subjects; and that it
would rather stimulate the courage and confidence
of its subjects, than prepare their minds for the hu-
miliation of submission to the dictates of Christen-
dom; the Janissaries and the populace of Constant',
nople accordingly cry out for battle. They
affirm that the war on which they are eager to
enter is predestined and they rely with implicit
faith on the immediate interposition of their
Prophet for its triumphant termination. The
Jews were deceived by a similar infatuation even
while the battering rams of the Romans shook
the towers of Mount Zion ;' and the Greeks i❑
Constantinople fell victims to the same super-
stitious credulity when the fearful hosts of Ma-
homed 11. surrounded them in 1453 in Constan-
tinople. The Crescent has now had its day.
The ignorance and superstition which gave it
stability are disappearing before the march
of Europea❑ intelligence. The banner is raised
against it which must be victorious. The tide
of victory, knowledge, and civilization must roll
eastward with a steady and irresistible force,
sweeping before it darkness and slavery. The
whole system of Mahomedan dominion in Europe
has been the monstrous production of fraud and
violence,—a daring and impious usurpation of
the attributes of JF;.`OVAH,—the rod, for a time,
in his hand, to scourge guilty nations. But the
rod is itself, when it has answered its purpose,
destined to be " thrown into the flames."—
The foundation of Islamism is slavery, cap-
tivity, and chains to the vanquished. Esta-
blished by the sword,—maintained by the sword,
—by the sword it must fall. "He that leadeth
into captivity shall go into captivity,—he that
killeth with the sword must be killed by the
sword," is the just and unalterable anathema of
the MOST HIGH, applicable to every system of
fraud and tyranny, civil or superstitious, but in a
particular Manner applicable tot and seemingly
