Midsummer OF SHERlFFS.—Yesterday being
4vildsurnmer day the LORD MAYOR, according to
tlfeust°4l, held a Common Hall, for the purpose
, electing Sheriffs and other City Officers, for
e Year ensuing. The RECORDER opened the
mount, and M. DENMAN, in his capacity of Corn-
a Serjeant, came forward to propose the Can-
romldates. Messrs. LUCAS and THOMPSON, Alder-
el", upon a shell' of hands, were declared 'duly
elected ; and the Court then proceeded to the
a ee.tl°4 of Chamberlain, when- Mr. CLARKE was
glitn-lananicnously chosen.

LLOYD'S, TUESDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.'
Extract of a Letter from the. Agents to LLOYD'S
at Constantinople and Smyrna.

- 44 CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 25.—The Govern-
ment has caused ten of the most respectable
Greek merchants, natives of Scio, to be be-
headed. They are fitting out more men of war.
The fleet in the Archipelago appears to have
done nothing beyond sacking and pillaging of
Scio."

" SMYRNA, MAY 17.—The Greek armed ves-
sels in considerable numbers have made their
appearance oft' Scio. The Captain Pacha had got
under weigh with his fleet, and both forces were
left near each other, between Samos and Scio,
without having come to action, when the Cam-
brian frigate passed three days ago. All is per-
fectly quiet here."

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Saturday ; they contain the following additional
details respecting the arrest of Gen. BEItTON :-

" That officer had for some time quitted his retreat near
Sautnur, and proceeded towards Bordeaux, in the hope of
finding on the Coast the means of embarking. But he bad re-
turned to Saumur, because he had been flattered with the
hope and possibility of producing a movement, the object of
which would probably have been to set free the prisoners at
Poictiers. Whilst General Berton and his two accomplices
were guarded in a room by two of the non-commissioned of-
ficers who had disarmed them, he attempted to shake their
fidelity. He offered each a large sum in gold, and the rank of
Captains of two of the seventeen Companies which he pretended
to have formed in the environs. These ridiculous offers were
received with the contempt which they deserved. "My friends,"
cried Berton, in the accent of despair, " you will not give up
your General to his enemies." " You are not our General ;
you are nothing but a traitor," replied the King's soldiers.
The notary, the owner of the farm where Berton was taken,
and who has shared his fate, is called Delalande ; the other in-
dividual is a corn merchant.---The man killed at the head of
a troop of peasants, who were coming to the relief of Berton,
was a rich Proprietor of Saumur, called Maignant. Messrs.
Rousseau, resident at Besse, and Grandmenil, surgeon at Ro-
sieres, were to be present at the interview between Berton and
Wolfel, and his four friends. A dinner was provided for the
Whole, but the guests were off'. The Authorities are now in
pursuit of Rousseau and Grandmenil. It is not yet certain
whether General Berton will be tried by a Court Martial or be-
fore a Court of Assize."

Accounts from Petersburgh, of the 31st ultimo,
state that the Imperial Guards had received
orders to return to the capital, which was con-
sidered decisive of peace. It appears, however,
by recent advices from Moldavia and Wallachia,
that the Turks have no intention to evacuate
wholly those. provinces. The new form of Go-
vernment proposed to be introduced into the
principalities does not seem calculated to remove
the cause of complaints on the part of Russia.
Nominally these provinces are to be governed
by a Hospodar assisted by a Council, the whole
to consist of natives ; but in reality they will be
governed by the Commanders of the Turkish
troops to be stationed at the seat of Government
in each province, who are to receive their orders
from Constantinqple. It is certain that the Turkish
troops have not yet taken their departure, and
that the Russian forces occupy the same positions
on the Turkish frontiers.' The Russian Senator,
M. de TATISCHEF, is returned to Vienna, to con-
tinue the negociations between Russia and the
Porte. An Ukase has been issued by the Em-
peror ALEXANDER, relative to the new Tariff,
dated the Lith of March.. It directs that pro-
hibited goods, which may arrive in vessels the
Captains of which can' prove that they' left their
respective ports before the new Russian Tariff

had reached them, shall be received and per-
mitted to be sold on paying the ancient duties.—
The forms through which Captains and Owners
must go, however, to •establish the fact of their
having sailed before they had seen the Tariff, are
so complicated, that the time which they must
occupy will necessarily make them lose the
market.

German Papers have arrived, containing ac.
counts respecting the late occurrences at Con•
stantinople, which have been anticipated by pre.
ceding ad vices.

A letter from St. Sebastian, dated the 14th
instant, gives us reason to hope that reciprocal
measures have been agreed upon by France and
Spain, with respect to the refugees of both nations,
which will be productive of the most beneficial
effects to both countries. They are immediately
to be ordered into the interior to the distance of
50 leagues from the frontiers.

The New York Packet is arrived off Holy,
head ; the letters and papers will be up to-mor
row ; sailed the 26th May.

[Extract of a Lrtter from Vera Cruz, April S.]
" The Royal troops still occupy the Castle of
St. Jua,n de Ullua, and the independents the town ; all is tran-
quil here, and a free intercourse kept up. The capitulated
troops were daily arriving from the interior, and embarking for
Havannah.—The duties levied upon goods arriving at Vera
Cruz and Tampico are heavy, exceeding on some articles their
actual value. The market at Vera Cruz was overstocked. The
expenditure of the people being very limited, the country peo-
ple wear a dress of leather, which requires renewing only once
in three years."

THE KING'S VISIT To SCOTLAND.— The Edin-
burgh Courant of Saturday last, received this
morning, contains the following paragraph in a
Second Edition :

" We stop the press to announce, that the Right Honourable
the LORD PROVOST has this day received a letter from Lord
MELVILLE, intimating that it is his MAJESTY'S intention to
visit Scotland this summer, and that he purposes being in
Edinburgh on or about the 10th of August.—We understand
that the Races, which were to take place on the 29th of July,
are to be postponed till his MAJESTY'S arrival."

the advocates of the Roman Catholic claims
tell us that they " look with terror and alarm at a body of be-
tween six and seven millions of our felloWs, inexorably shut
out of the pale of the Constitution ;" and ask, as if the replies
to their questions were decisive of the matter at issue,—" has
not a Noble Peer lately published a direct and open attack on
all revealed religion ? Did not CARLILE defend himself by
quoting the work of one of his MAJEST Y'S Privy Councillors ?
And are there not persons in the House of Commons, whose
avowed religious opinions are diametrically opposite from those,
of the Established Church ?"—Nothing can be more weak or
fallacious than the reasonings which are implied in these posi-
tions. Roman Catholics are no more " shut out from the pale
of the Constitution," because they are prevented from filling'
certain stations in society, on account of legal disabilities, than
the laity are shut out from the pale of the Constitution, because
they are prevented from assuming the functions of the Clergy,
unless they first acquire the' legal qualifications,—or than any
man is shut out from the pale of the Constitution, because he
is not pennitted to practise in the learned professions, without
conforming to all the preparatory steps, and receiving the au-
thoritative appointments which the law prescribes.—So far are
these things from being unconstitutional, that they proceed
from the Constitution. his because the objects of legal enact-
ments are included within the pelt of the Constitution, and be-
cause all who are so included are necessarily bound by its
constrictive force, that the Roman Catholics, or any other class
or portion of the people, are held in the position, and are sub-
jected to the peculiarities, which the Constitution has assigned
to them.—Again :—Although a Peer may have attacked reli-
gion, although a Privy Councillor may have furnished CAR-
-I.ILE with some of the elements of his defence, and although
Members of the House of Commons rcay be hostile to the
Established Church, these presumed facts furnish no reasons
for conceding the Catholic claims. On the cbntrary, the
only inference -which can be , drawn from their statement, in
connection with that question, is uqfilvourable to the concession
of those claims; for, if the Roman 'Catholics are not impugners
of revealed religion, if they are not disseminators of blasphemy,
if they are not inimical to the Church of England, the mere fact
that certain other parties are so, has nothing more to do with
the question of their claims, than the fact that certain
other persons are Jews cr Mahometan& If, on the other
hand, the Roman Catholics are distinguished by the
dangerous and anti-religious character adverted to, it is an ad-
ditional motive for excluding them from offices of power and
trust, when we are informed that men of similar character
already find their way into those offices. If there are enemies
of the Established Church in the House of Commons, we
must be doubly careful that the number of the enemy is not in-
creased by the admission of Roman Catholics.—Further;—
The Catholic claims are not resisted, ,(as these reasoners seem
to imagine), on .the ground that Roman Catholics are blas-
phemers, and are enemies to revealed religion, and to our
Church Establishment. They are resisted, because the Roman
Catholics acknowledge the spiritual supremacy of a foreign
potentate, and because they refuse to make those constitu-
tional acknowledgments of the constitutional prerogatives and
supremacy of a constitutional KING, which the Constitution
requires from them.

Mr. BROUGHA)I'S Resolution, declaratory of
an opinion that the influence possessed by the
Crown is destructive of the independence of Par-
liament, and inconsistent with good government
and the public welfare, was last night negatived
by a majority of 216 to 101.—Regarding the
Constitutional Monarchy of England, under which
she has attained, to so high an elevation amongst
nations; with all those feelings of affectionate

°. pride and reverential admiration, which it is na-
tural to entertain toward institutions that have
practically been found so beneficial to our coun-
try, we confess that we view with jealousy and
apprehension any indications of changes, having
an apparent tendency to endanger or destroy a
political system which we believe to have been
the source of incalculable national advantages.
If Mr. BROUGHAM, therefore, had succeeded
in establishing that the active influence of the
Crown had been injuriously increased, or was
corruptly exercised, we should have lamented
the rejection of his motion, as not less fatal to
the public welfare, than even defeat and discom-
fiture, in a contest wag.ed with a foreign enemy.
But the case which the Honourable and Learned
Gentleman had constructed, certainly with great
and ingenious subtlety, was at once demolished
by the plain statements and accurate reasonings
of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, to whose ad-
mirable reply it is sufficient to refer our readers
for a correct and lutnirfous exposition of the true
proportion which the influence of the Crown
now bears to the same influence in former periods,
and of the just relation in which it stands to the
resisting power of popular opinion. Mr.
BROUGHAM could not withstand the force of his
opponent's statements ; and the feebleness with
which he attempted to reply to them, sufficiently
proves that he himself felt that the questio❑ was
decided against him before the House proceeded
to a division.

THE PLAGUE IN THE MEDITERRINEAN.—The
Gibraltar Paper of the 3d inst. contains the fol-
lowing o:ficial notice relative to the plague at
Algiers :

" Civil Secretary': Office, Gibraltar, June 1, 1822.
" It appearing by official information that the plague is de-
clared to exist in the city of Algiers,
" His Excellency the Governor has deemed it expedient to
give directions that no vessels frcal that Regency, or its de-
pendencies, be admitted to pratique in this port, without having
first performed quarantine on any one of the accredited Laza-
rettos of the Mediterranean.
" By Command,
(Signed) "S. H. CHAPMAN, Civil Secretary."

ETROPOLITAN LAW SOCIETY.—The Mem-
hers of this truly laudable Institution assembled
for their annual dinner yesterday at Free Masons'
Hall. Wir.miAsi YOUNG KNIGHT, Esq. was in
the Chair, supported on his right by Mr. LOCK-
HART, M.P. and Mr. LEAKE, M.P. There was
a considerable number of the Members present,
and it must be highly gratifying to the people at
large to know that they consisted of the most
respectable Solicitors and Attornies that the
Metropolis could supply, and in point of talents,
knowledge, and probity, it may fairly be asserted
that in those -respects they may rank with any
other class of society. , The number of. Members
has considerably increased, and several new
ones were. admitted yesterday. The main
object of this Society, as is well known, is
to clear the profession from all unworthy mem-
bers, those who, .though regularly. belonging
to it, are guilty of illegal, practices, and those
who, for a small fee, obtain certificates to practice
without knowledge, and who couple trades with
a profession that requires a regular initiation,
study, and experience. These objects of the In-
stitution were. well explained by the Chairman, Mr.
KNIGHT, and.by Mr. LEAKE, who had previously
held that office. Mr. ANDERTON, the Secretary, to
whom the gratitude of the public is due for
having instituted this Society; which must be of
incalculable benefit in -affording security from
norance and empiricism, read a very satisfactory
Report of its proceedings. The usual loyal toasts
of "The KING "---" The Royal Family," " Lord
ELDON," &c. &c. were given, and received with the
warmest applause. The health of the Chairman,
of Mr. LEAKE, Mr. LocKu.s:aT, Mr. ANDERTON,
and Mr. WRIGHT, the Treasurer, were given,aud
most warmly received, and each of these gentlemen
expressed their thanks in return. Mr. John WlN-
ens, whose social character is well known, and
some other Gentlemen,gratified the company with
humorous and convivial songs. We regret that
the pressure of other matter prevents us from
entering more at large into the proceedings of
the day, as they relate to•an Institution which,
in point of utility, is of the utmost importance in
a country where property is in constant fluctua-
tion, and where the various relations of com-
merce, and other causes, might produce the
most serious evils in domestic life, if the rights
of individuals were left to the management
of presumption, ignorance, and venality, and
did not derive additional protection from so ad-
mirable an Institution as THE METROPOLITAN
LAW SOCIETY.--We are sorry that a little
disturbance occurred in consequence of a pro-
posal to drink the health of the Editor of this
Paper, for the zealous support which he gave to
the institution, even before its commencement,
and during the whole of its progr,ess. A Gentle-
man from the City, however,objected to this toast,
upon the ground that the merits of the Institution
required no support from the Public Press; but the
general sentiments of the company soon overp9wer-
ed this opposition, and the health of the Gentleman
in question was drank %vial " three times three."
The tranquillity of the company was then re-
stored, and tliey separated at a late hear with
the utmost good humour.

Yesterday the Duke of Yonx transacted mili-
tary business with the KING.—The Princess Au-
GUSTA, yesterday, visited his MAJESTY.
The Parish Officers of the Metropolis are
going round their respective parishes to collect
from house to house for the relief of the distressed
Irish.

which joined in their train.

THE TIIEATRE.—The Mountaineers, in which
Mr. C. K EDIBLE very successfully followed :the
track of his brother in the part of Octavian, was
succeeded last night, at the Haymarket Theatre,
by a new musical piece entitled Love Letters.
It is a translation from the French, and as
we borrow often from a French drama, the
French have a right to borrow from an English
novel, and therefore the original author of this
piece has made free use of a ludicrous incident
in Peregrine Pickle. We have no room for the
plot, and can only add that it is whimsical in it-
self, and was rendered very entertaining by the
efforts of Madame VESTRIS, OXBERTLY, and the
rest of the performers. It was announced for
repetition with general consent.
NEW ARGYLL Rooms.—Mr. MOSCIIELLES, the
most wonderful performer on the Violin that per-
haps has ever been heard in any. country, had his
Concert at these Rooms last night. It was
crowded in all parts. The chief feature Was
a Concerto on the Piano-forte by MosctiELLis,
composed by himself.—The instrumental pieces
were well selected, and we were glad to find.
among them that the expressive tones of ASHE'S
Flute are restored to the Metropolis.—CAmro-
RESE, Miss STEPHENS, Mrs. SALMON, Signora
CARADORI, and Signora CINTI, VAUGHAN",
BEGNIS, and ZUCHELLI, were the chief vocal,
performers. The whole was a rich treat.
FUNERAL of the MARQUIS Of HERTFORD.—
Yesterday morning, at an early hour, every preparaton being
previously made, the solemn procession moved from 31anclies-
ter-square, in the greatest order and regularity ; attended by
the agents and principal domestics of the late respected MAR-
QUIS ; and followed by the carriages of relatives and distin-
guished characters, as a token of respect to the memory of their
deceased friend. The procession arrived at High \ti ycomhe
last night ; this day it will proceed to Oxford ; to-morrow
Shipton ; and on Thursday it is expected to arriv,-! at Ragley,
where the Noble Remains will lie in State at the Family Man-
sion ; and on Friday the interment will take place in the
Family Vault, attended by the present Marquis, as chief
mourner.

Extract from a letter, dated Mexico, Feb.2B:
" The Congress met three days since, and all the
Representatives have sworn to observe the trea-
ties entered into by General Ittirbide about a
year since. They have decided that thv future
Government of this country shall be a limited
monarchy, and a deputation is immediately to be.
sent to Europe with an offer of the Imperial
Crown to a Bourbon, either to the King of, Spain,
one of his brothers, or to the Prince of Lucca;
and in case of a refusal on the part of these in-
dividuals to accept the offer, it is then to be
made to a member of the Ho'use of Austria.—
But should they all refuse to accede to the .pro-
position, and none of them arrive in this 'country
within a certain period to be hereafter named,
the Congress in the House of Representatives
will then elect a native, who is to be declared
Emperor of Mexico. The measures of the Con-
gress hitherto savour of great intolerance in re-
spect to religious matters. None but the Catho-
lic religion is to be tolerated, and in this particular
the Government will be well supported by- the
population of this country, in which bigotry
and fanaticism prevail perhaps more so than in
any other community on the face of the.globe."
