IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES.—The following is
extracted from Mt Chester Chronicle of Friday

last :

- - - -
We noticed in the Chronicle, of the week preceding the last,
that a very superior clay, well adapted for the manufacture of the
best sort of china had been discovered on the estate of Counsel-
lor Ackerly, at Little Saughill, near this city. This clay is now
undergoing a fair trial at some of the first potteries in the king-
dom ; and it is to be hoped that a pottery may soon be established
a company connected with the Staffordshire
on the premises, by.
potteries. On this circumstance, however, we cannot speak
with certainty ; but there is another matter connected with the
locus in quo of which we have had personal cognizance. A few
weeks ago Mr. A. commenced sinking a shaft for goal, and had
penetrated to a depth Of from 24 to 25 feet, when the progress of
the workmen was arrested by a strong current of water, the pe-
culiar taste of vvhich induced- him to think it was impregnated
with a metallic material. He accordingly, in quite an indiscri-
minate way, got up a quantity of the stratum through which it
flowed-4 in a quicksand, and immediately submitted it to the
powerful test of aqua fortis, &c. and succeeded in procuring se-
veral small, grains of gold. This success gave a stimulus to fur-
ther exertions, and a greater portion of the sandy soil or sub-
stance which the water ejected was collected,, washed, and put into
a crucible, by one of Mr. Walker's young men, at his Assay Of-
fice : it was submitted to a powerftil heat, and afterwards, on in-
spection, two singularly fine grains of pure gold were extracted,
submitted to the test of nitric acid, and may now- be seen at
Mr. W.'s shop. This discovery is rather extraordinary, for
never before, we believe, has gold been found in this or any
other county in England, Cornwall excepted. An experiment
on a larger scale is about to be made, the results of which we
.shall submit to our readers as soon as they can be ascertained
with accuracy. Little Saughill is about two miles and a half
N.W. of Chester. .

SULEM QUIS DICLRE FALSUM AUDEAT

LONDON,
THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1822.

We received this morning the Paris Journals
of Monday, and Spanish Papers to the 17th
inst. from which we give extracts in our preced-
ing columns. The intelligence from Madrid an-
nounces that General MINA and his Staff had
quitted the Capital, on the 14th to take the com-
mand of the Army of Catalonia, which would,
on his arrival, amount to 26,000 men. Great ex-
pectations are with justice entertained from the
ability and courage of this Commander ; and
that the operations in other quarters may not
divert him from effecting the desired object of 1
putting an end to the insurrection in Catalonia,
another army of 20,000 men is organising at Corti,
Navarre, and Arragon, (the other insurgent pro-
vinces), which, while it accomplishes this pur-
pose, will at the same time form the left of the
counter cordon on the Spanish side of the Py-
renees, of which the force under MINA composes
the right. The first and principal object of the
new Ministry is doubtless the suppression of the
insurrection ; and so convinced are they of this
policy that the greater portion of the public re-
ceipts have been placed at the disposal of the
War Minister, who is represented to be assidu-
ously employed in concerting and carrying into
execution every measure calculated to attain that
end. With this view, one of the articles of the
treaty negociating between Spain and Portugal
proposes that a corps of 12,000 Portuguese
troops shall cover the left bank of the Ebro,
from the Ham to Tortosa, and another of 8,000
men protect the frontiers of Portugal on the side
of Galicia, Castille, and Estremadura, which
would render disposable the Spanish forces now

stationed on those points.
The Austrian Observer of the 16th, a Journal
notorious for its hostility to the cause of Greece,
represents the Turks to have been successful
against the Greeks ; but if these successes had
actually been obtained at the dates mentioned,
they must have been known at Constanti-
nople on the 26th of July, when our last
accounts left that capital, which are, how-
ever, quite silent on the subject. The concurrent
testimony in. favour of the victory said to have
been gained by the Greeks on. the. Bth of July,
though repulsed on the former day, is so strong
that we are inclined to attach credit to the re-
ports on this subject, which we communicated
yesterday.

The Duke of llANtil.ToN's speech, at the Civic
entertainment given by the Corporation of Edin-
burgh, has been ridiculed as ostentatious and in-
discreet, and censured as somewhat unconstitu-
tional. If the reports which have been trans-
mitted to London, of what fell from his Grace,
be correct, it is certainly difficult to reconcile his
observations with that regard for decorum which
a full sense of the Royal dignity of the Sovereign
could scarcely have failed to inspire, and which
might have been expected even from politeness,
and from the familiar observance of those rules
which imperceptibly regulate the conduct of well
bred society. The impropriety of his Grace's lan-
guage, on such an occasion, even in the opinion
of his own political friends, many of whom were
present, was impressively marked by the silence
with which the delivery of his sentiments was
received. An. habitual sense of decorum is one
of the characteristics of the Scottish people. The

same multitutes, who had testified their jot "
the loudest huzzas, wherever his MAJESTY made
his appearance on days of business, when they WI
him proceeding to and from Church, and during
his entire progress through the City,- testified
their respect by taking off their hats in silence
as his MAJESTY passed, because neither their
loyalty nor their joy, nor the warmth of theiret.'
fection for a Sovereign who had already endeared
himself to their feelings, could make them forge.t
the quiet and orderly behaviour which in their
estimation is demanded by the solemnity of the
Sabbath. We recognize the same national chit'
racteristic, though under different circumstances/
exhibited in the conduct of the political friends
(
of the Duke of llAmivroN, when they withheld
their approbation from expressions, which at °lice
struck them as inconsistent with the personal re'
spect due to the KING.—The entertainment "15
not of a political nature. It had no reference
whatever to the Ministers of the Crown °r t
their measures. It was entirely a respectful
4
mark of hospitality from the City of Edinbog
to his MAJESTY, which his MAJESTY Cootie
sceuded to accept. In expressing, at that enter
tainment, his loyalty for the KING, why did
Duke of HAMILTON think it necessary to egigeof
also his jealous care of the rights and interests
the people ?—lt is unconstitutional to Pres°°ll,
that the KING has or can have any designs °Who
are hostile to the rights and interests of ".
subjects. The Cons ti tu lion allows hi
5
nisters to be suspected of such clesitof
Against them, therefore, the virulence
op,
political hostility is constitutionally and of
ceasingly directed. But, even if the Citi ca.

EDINBURGH, AUGUST 26.

His M AJEST Y, we understand, intends to honour the Cale-
donian Hunt Ball in the Assembly Rooms this evening with
his presence. It is not finally fixed that his Majesty will lay
the foundation stone of the National Monument to-morrow ;
but in the evening he is to attend the Theatre, on which occa-
sion the opera of Rob Roy is to be performed. On Thursday
his Majesty is to pay a visit to the Earl of Hopetoun, at Hope-
toun [louse, and the West Lothian cavalry are under orders to
attend on the occasion. He is then to embark on board his
yacht at Queensferry, or one of the harbours in that neighbour-
hood, and take leave of his northern subjects.

On Tuesday last, while the Riding-master of the Scots
Greys was rambling round one of the parks near Buccleuch
Palace, his fine courser attracted the notice of his Majesty,
who was seated at one of the windows of the Palace. Ilis Ma-
jesty was pleased with the noble look of the horse, and sent his
groom to the riding-master to inquire if he would sell him.
The riding-master had got him when a colt; and he was such
a noble animal, and so completely broke, that, to use an ex-
pression of an officer of the Greys, " he could ride round a
bottle," and he put the groom off in the best possible manner.
On the day following, the riding-master was in the park, and
no doubt shewing off his fine animal to the best advantage ;
the groom being sent out again by his Majesty on the same
errand, the riding-master dismounted, and made a present of.
the noble animal to his Majesty. It is said he has been no
loser by the transaction. It was this beautiful animal which
his Majesty rode at the review.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, AUG. 27, 1822.

Whether or not we are to have the supreme
happiness of greeting his MAJESTY in this ancient and loyal
town, remains as yet an unsolved problem. Our distinguished
neighbour, Lord Ravensworth, having been- told that, in case
of the King's visiting Ravensworth Castle, his Lordship should
only have six hours notice, many are willing to construe this
into something at least denn-promissory ; and we do know that
the Noble Lord has been making certain arrangements with a
view to the entertainment of the Illustrious Visitor. At Aln-
wick Castle, too, the seat of the princely Percy, a hope is in-
dulged that his Majesty may, as he passes along the coast,
land, and honour the Duke of Northumberland with a visit.
It is quite certain that a quantity of gun-powder was trans-
mitted hence a few days ago to Alnwick, that on his Majesty's
approach the batteries of the Castle might be ready to salute
with their loud roar.

In a political sense, it might almost be wished that we were
gratified with seeing the Chief Magistrate amongst us; for
here, no doubt, as has elsewhere been so justly remarked, the
observation would apply—
" Thy presence did each doubtful heart compose,
And factions wonder'd that they once arose."
However it may turn out with the Head of Royalty, we are
at all events about to have the honour of a visit from his Royal
Highness the Duke of Sussex. His Royal Highness is ex-
pected to reach Lambton-Hall, the seat of J. G. Lambton,
Esq. M.P. to-morrow, where his stay will be about 10 days.
Our Corporation go over in state to invite his Royal Highness
to name the day on which he will do them the honour to dine
at the Mansion-house. Sir M. AV. Ridley, Bart. M.P., it is
said, entertains the Royal Duke and a large party, at Blagdon,
on Sunday next; and on the day following his Royal High-
ness, as Grand Master of England, honours the Provincial
Grand Lodge of Northumberland with a visit, after which he
will proceed to lay the foundation stone of the new budding for
the Literary and Philosophical Society of this town. His Royal
Highness dines in the afternoon with the Masonic Body. Since
the year 1795, when we were honoured by a visit from the Duke
of York, we have not had the gratification of seeing any of the
Royal Family within our walls. r. G.
