EARTHQUAKES IN SYRIA.

r_
m LEVANT 'COMPANY consider it to
be their duty to lay before the Public the following
abstract of OFFICIAL REPORTS from JOHN BARKER,
Esq. their Consul at Aleppo
On the 13th of August last, at half-past nine in the evening,
the Cities of Aleppo and Antioch, and every Town, Village,
and detached Cottage, throughout an extent of country corn-
-I:lrising•one-third of all Syria, were, in ten or twelve seconds
-thrown down by a violent Earthquake, Twenty Thousand of
the Inhabitants, at the lowest computation, being crushed to
death by the ruins, and an equal number wounded.
Violent shocks of Earthquake occurred, at frequent intervals,
until the 19th of October, the date of the last dispatch. The
further loss of lives is not stated, but the alarm and distress of
the survivors were great beyond description. They were already
suffering severely from Diseases, resulting from want and ex-
,Pusure to the weather. And the Consul adds, that—" It is
" impossible to conceive all the misery which it appears they
" are doomed to suffer in the ensuing winter, or to find more
" deserving objects of the compassion and charity of the opu-
" tent, whom it has pleased GOD to place in happier regions of
" the globe."
The Company, not doubting the facts of these statements,
acquaint the Public that Subscriptions for the Relief of the
Most distressed of the surviving Inhabitants will be received by
John Theophilus Daubuz, Esq.. Treasurer to the Levant
Company, No. 2, New Broad-street.
Mr. George Liddell, Secretary, at the Office, South Sea-
House ; and by the undermentioned Bankers :

Messrs. Coutts and Co. I Messrs. Grote and CO.
Messrs. Herries, Farquhar, I
and Co. I Messrs. Hankey ;
Messrs. Bosanquet and Co.
Also at the Bar of Lloyd's Coffee-house.

Pany, with proper instructions for its application.

SPAIN.

BAYONNE, DEC. 22.—The son of General
O'Donnell has just arrived at Bayonne seriously
wounded in the arm. The Junta of Navarre has
also arrived at Bayonne, flying before General
Torrijos, respecting whose operations we have
not received any particulars.

The mail from Madrid has not arrived : but
some privated letters have however come, though
the snow is deep.

The accounts from Madrid of the 15th furnish
the following particulars :

We now know, by our accounts from Paris, that the Holy
Affiance has authorized the Cabinet of the Tuileries to ihter,

By order of the Government, 24 Canons have beenbanighed
from the cathedrals ,of :Malaga and Cordova; but none are
exiled ; they have only been removed to different churches, and
four only are to go to that of Ceuta.
'We expect here the three -regiments of active militia of Jaen
and Bryalence, to succeed the Royal Guards, the greater part
of which is gone to Arragon and Catalonia. In proportion as
the conscripts are trained, the regular troops 'will be sent-to the
revolted provinces.
The news from 'Catalonia confirms.the success of Mina, 'but
the bands in his rear are still too numerous, and we see that the
garrison of Cervera, Vich, Cardona, and Manresa are continu-
ally engaged with them. The constitutional troops have suffer-
ed great 'losses in Catalonia by battle, by forced marches through
mountainous tracts covered with snow, and by scarcity of pro.
visions. Mina and Velasco ask for supplies of all kinds, but
especially troops, which the Government cannot easily send, as
all the other provinces.are nearly stripped of troops. They must
wait till the new conscripts are ready to march. 3lerino, who
committed such excesses on the 13th .at Reynosa, was com-
pletely defeated on the 14th, near Villarcayo, by 200 constitu_
tional troops ; he had 30 killed, many wounded, and some
taken prisoners. He fled in the greatest:disorder into the moun-
tains of Biscay.

fere in our affairs. This news has certainly caused a great sen-
sation in the capital, and may have a bad effect in the pro-
vinces, were the enemies of the system have endeavoured `to
I alarm the people by reporting that 100,000 French would yes-
terday entei the French territory. However, the confidence
1 that we have in the assistance of England in the struggle the
fact that the Sovereigns have left France to act alone—the con-
tinued triumphs of Mina in Catalonia—the zeal of the pa-
triots—the new alliance with Portugal—quiet our apprehen-
sions and make us look without fear to a war with France alone.
—ln spite, therefore, of the exhausted state of the treasury,
the preparations for war are carried on with the greatest ac-
tivity : great exertions are making in the arsenals to organize
a respectable park of artillery, and put our fortresses in a state
of defence. The new levies are accelerated, and all the horses
fit for the service of the army are put in requisition ; and, in
short,-by the activity which is remarked in the war department,
we must conclude, that we shall resit all modifications that fo-
reigners require in our Constitution. The new conscripts con-
tinue to arrive in the capital, where pains are taken to inspire
them with enthusiasm and love of liberty, and zeal to defend the
country. Amidst the agitation that reigns in the capital, and
the rumours of war with France, the Exaltados ask what the
French Ambassador does there ? But the Government endea.
yours to preserve moderation and calmness in these critical cir-
cumstances. Such is at present our situation.

The Patriots have just discovered an intrigue, carried on by
the anti-Constitutional party, in the parochial elections, and in
consequence the Political Chiefs caused those of the third and
fourth districts to beimspended the day before yesterday ; and
to-day we learn that tbe,nominations of electors in the 16 dis-
tricts of Madrid, for. qe,'l3llrpose of electing a municipality, era
such as the Patriots desire. We learn that the enemies of the
system are doing their utmost to influence the provincial elec-
tions, but the Patriots do not sleep.
The Government, using the power given it by the Cortes,
have just dismissed 14 Colonels, two Lieutenant-Colonels,. 22
Chiefs of Battalion, three Majors, and seven Captains, whose
principles do nothaxmonize with the present spirit of the army.
Four other Colonels and one Commander of a Battalion have
also beet discharged 'from the army, but 'have been recom-
mended to civil offices.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]

CITY, HaYpasl Twelve o'clock. --- Consols
opened this morning at Si, buyers ; and if it
had not been for the French Minister's instruc-
tions to his colleague at Madrid, the Funds
might have improved considerably : but it is the
opinion in the City that the Spanish Govern-
ment will not comply with the French propo-
sals, owing to which the•negeciations between
the two Courts may be procrastinated for some
time to come. The above opinion has damped
the Funds. Consols are, up to this hour, 81.1.
Considerable business was doing in the early
part of the morning.—New Spanish opened at
58.1, -but went down to 571

The decision of the French Government iN
JAVOUR OF PEACE, has at length been officially
promulgated. We have inserted under the head
of Foreign Intelligence the important documents
which have now set the great question of Peace
or War at rest. They are extracted from the
Moniteur of Friday last. The first is a Royal
Ordinance, bearing the date of last Wednesday,
the 25th instant, accepting the resignation by the
Duke ofMONTMORENCY, of the office of Secretary
of State fur Foreign Affairs. The second, is a copy
of the Instructions transmitted to the Count de la
GARDE, French Minister at Madrid, immediately
after the resolution of the French Cabinet in favour
of peace lied been definitively taken. We say im-
mediately after the decision of the Cabinet ; for
the instructions bear the same date as that of the
Ordinance accepting the Duke de MONTMO RENCY'S
resignation ; and that event, of course, instantly
followed the rejection of the policy which he
had recommended to his Sovereign. The In-
tructions prove, that France has separated
from Austria, Russia, and Prussia, in the policy to
be pursued with respect to Spain ! Those Powers
have " judged it necessary to add to the parti-
cular act of: alliance (with France), a manifes-
tation of their sentiments ;" and " diplomatic
notes are for that purpose addressed by these
three Powers to their respective Ministers at
Madrid, who will communicate therm to the
Spanish Government."—But, whatever may be
the sentiments expressed by her great Continen-
tal Allies, France has deemed it proper to
abstain from any further concurrence in them
than that of her " firm resolution to re-

pel by every means revolutionary princi-
ples and movements,"—a resolution, how-
ever, which for the present satisfies itself with
declaring her " wishes, that a remedy may be
found by the noble Spanish nation for evils
which are of a nature to disturb the Governments
of Europe, and to impose on them precautions
which always must be painful."—Unless, there-
fore, the 'expiring insurrection of the Spanish
Royalists, should miraculously acquire new
vigour, and become so for►nidable and inveterate
as to " compromise the essentialinterests ofFrance,"
France has determined on remaining satisfied with
the continuance of those " preservatory measures
which she has (already) adopted,"—But Spain,

In consequence of the above Race, which is a sort of Trial

THE EXTRAORDINARY MARRIAGE.

A summons for Mr. John Casey, a material witness in the
case respecting the marriage between Mr. Moses 11. Pentland
and Miss Mary M-Garry, an infant under the age of 14 years,
was issued by the Magistrates of the Head Police Office, a few
days since, requiring his attendance at the Office yesterday, for
the purpose of investigating this mysterious and extraordinary
case. The case was called on at the appointed hour yesterday,
but Mr. Casey did not attend.
Mr. Wm. Nixon, stepfather to the young girl, having been
sworn, stated that he had served the summons on Mr. Casey's
wife at his (Mr. Casey's) residence.
The Magistrates said that it had been ruled that in all cases
except where the Act of Parliament says to the contrary, the
service of a summons must be personal.
Counsellor H LJIJAND for the Prosecution, and Mr. WILD-
UIDGE for the Defence, concurred in this opinion, in conse-
quence of which fresh summonses have been ordered for another
day.
We subjoin a copy of the summons granted in this extraor-
dinary ease—it is drawn up under a particular Act of Parlia-
ment., that of the 12th of Geo. L chap. 3., and is as follows :

HEAD OFFICE.
Police District of Dublin Magistrates.
Dublin, Sept. 10, 1822.
Whereas, complaints have been made before us two of his
Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the county of the city of
Dublin, and two of the Divisional Magistrates of Police for
said district, that a marriage has been unlawklly solemnized
between Moses liewetson Pentland, and Mary M'Garry, an
infant, under the age of fourteen years, and at which marriage
you are charged and suspected to have been present. These
are therefore, in his Majesty's name, to will and require your
personal appearance before us, at the office aforesaid, on Fri-
day the 13th day of September instant, at the hour of two
o'clock, to be min-lined and give evidence on the premises, as

FOR THE SUN.

BURY ST. EDMUNDS, SEPT. 17.

MR. EDITOR,
I am sorry to say that there are too many Ra-
dicals in this county, and, what increases the
regret of all well-disposed persons., is, that people,
who, from their rank in life ought to know and
act better, give them countenance by their
declarations in private, and by the sentiments
which"they utter at Party Dinners, Clubs, &c.
It is certain that a loyal Paper was much wanted
among us, and it is no compliment to say that we
have found that desideratum in the Bury Gazette,
which I find completes its first anniversary to-
morrow. This Paper obviously possesses some good
correspondents, and the Proprietor may well be
proud of the gentleman who favoured him with
the admirable remarks upon the questions pro-
posed by Bishop NlAasn to Candidates for Holy
Orders, and which you took into the Sox, ac-
knowledging the source whence derived ; an ex-
ample of justice and candour which has not been
followed by other journals who have enriched their
columns with them. Those remarks comprize so full
a justification of the good Bishop that I hope the
Author will give them to the public in a collected
form, as they deserve a better fate than to remain
in the transitory columns of a newspaper. They
might, in that case, he properly dedicated to the
worthy Prelate whose cause they have so ably
defended, and who will he classed by the future
Historian with the able Pillars of our Establish-
ment in Church and State.—To return to The
Bury Gazette. It has rendered, I hope, posi-
tive service, in opening the eyes of those who
were deluded by Faction, and by its vigour and
spirit has certainly been negatively useful in
checking the vehemence of Party and keeping
turbulent men in awe of public animadversion,
who but for this censorial power would have
poured forth their radical poison in abundance.
Our fields present a smiling promise of future
plenty, and that I trust may have some influence
in preventing mischief, if it should not dispose
the mind to pious gratitude towards the bene-
ficent Author and Providential Protector of his
glorious works.

HISTORIC PROLOGUE TO GEORGE 111.
When the Third GEORGE his reign began,
(Extended to the latest span),
Proud victories were seen to smile,—
Manilla, Hindostan, Belleisle :
Havannah, Martinique, Lucie,
Submit to British bravery !

But where the vcx'd Atlantic roars,
Opposing legions line the shores:
Finn to their cause great Chatham clung,
'Till utt'rancc fair(' his fault'ring tongue.

Junius, with energetic pen,
Dragg'd forth corruption from her den
Wilkes, in the cause of patriots tried,
Obnoxious warrants set aside :
Incendiaries and bigots cry,
Cordon's war-whoop, " No Popery * !"

With enterprising sail unfurl'd,
Cook circumnavigates the world :
Discovering land in distant climes,
Since coloniz'd with convict crimes.
Where Ganges rolls the Hindb stream,
Bright deeds of British valour gleam !
Where raging hurricanes arise,
De Grasse, by Rodney vanquish'd lies.
Lo ! shrouded in sepulchral shade,
The pride of list'ning Senates laiti!
Pratt's, Murray's, Dunning's, Thurlow's mind,
Forensic energies combin'd.
Arous'd from slumb'ring reverie,
North charm'd with wit and repartee :
Fox, with irnpassion'ci manly sense,
The torrent pour'd of eloquence:
Rivals once bitter in debate,
Now coalesce to rule the State,
'Till Pitt, the terror of his foes,
The Star of British Council, rose!
Burke, Wyndham, Sheridan, impress'd
Their vivid flashes on the breast;
The last, with comic vein and taste,
Alike the Stage and Senate grac'd !
Inscribe on Whitbread's honor'd bust,
" The man who ne'er betray'd a trust !"
With these embalm'd shall Grattan live,
The proudest record fame can give!
With Revolution's bursting flame
Fell anarchy and carnage came !
Tocsins resounded with alarms ;"
Towns, cities, hamlets, flew to arms,
And, buckling on the cuirass rude,
Assum'd a fearless attitude
Britain, unmov'd and undismay'd,
Stood till the wasting plague was stay'd,
And Wellington's decisive blow
Seal'd Napoleon's overthrow !
Come, bind with wreaths the laurel'd brow,
Of Nelson, Jarvis, Duncan, Howe !
On Egypt's parch'd and barren sands,
Join gallant Abercrombie's bands ;
And on Corunna's fatal shore,
Lament the toils and fate of Moore!
Bedeck with cypress Walch'ren's grave,
Where, without glory, fell the brave I
Mourn Perceval's untimely fate,
The victim of revengeful hate !
Bestow the tribute of a tear.
With Leopold o'er Charlotte's bier :
The nation's hope, the nation's pride ;
Ador'd she liv'd ! lamented died !
Bereft of reason's guiding ray,
For years th' enfeebled MONARCH lay :
His QUEEN by fond affection led,
Long smootli'd the pillow 'neath his head •
In visual, and in mental gloom,
He sunk exhausted to the tomb !
• The late Lord GEORGE GORDON.

We learn by a letter from Marseilles, dated
the 14th, that a ship has just sailed from that
port for the Morea with 60 Officers, French,
-Italians, and Germans. About 150 more Offi-
-cera are waiting there to embark with a General
on board a Neapolitan vessel, which has been
'taken up for the same destination, and will be
ready in a few days.

their union and prudence, have made a fifth de-

Embassy at Frankfort, has just been invested
with the Order of St. 'Vladimir by the Emperor
AleN:inder. .

• NUREMBERG, JAN. 14.--Letters from Peters-
burg, received yesterday at Berlin, announce that
'a 3,vmt has just been published there, entitled
•" Campaigns of Suwarrow against the
Turks." The Vignettes of this work have been
ordered at Berlin ; and their designs are such as
to leave no doubt of the opinion of the-Russian
•nation relative to a war with Turkey. The
Editor of the above mentioned work is a well
known Statesman of Russia.

• Aix LA-CHApELLE, JAN. 17.--(Extract of a
Private .Letter.)--Newsfrom Warsaw, received
at Berlin, are still warlike. The Russians are
now concentrating considerable forces in the en-
'l/irons of Tomarrow, at the mouth of the Pruth.
-.Hence, it is concluded, .that the Russians intend
to. penetrate -along the coasts of the Black
sen. It. is ..certain that the Turkish artillery,
which was at Jassy, has been transported to
-Brailow, notwithstifnding the opposition of
the Janissaries. Although the Ottoman troops
stationed in the former of these towns bave lately
received reinforcern,nts, it.is confidently statetl

ADMINISTERINC. POISON.
William Richardson was indicted for wilfully and maliciously
administering to Susanna, the wife of Thomas Hairs, and Mary
Bacon, a certain deadly poison, called copperas, with intent to
kill and murder them, at Debden, on the sth January last.
Mr. BRODERICK conducted the prosecution. It appeared
in evidence, that the prisoner had lodged in the same house
where the prosecutors lived. He was in the habit of taking
his meals with them. On the morning of the sth of January,
before the women came to their breakfasts, the prisoner was
seen playing with some children in their room. The women on
drinking their tea complained of its bitterness, but still drank
two or three cups. The prisoner did not eat any breakfast,
but was seen to go in and out during the meal. In the evening
the women were taken extremely ill with a violent vomiting.—
The next day they found their tea still bitter. A plate, with
sonic small quantity of copperas on it was found in the room
on the 7th of January. The person who observed it exclaimed
it was copperas, and the prisoner, who was in another part of
the room, said lie knew it was copperas, for it was like what
his father cleaned his shoes with. The prosecutrix, Bacon,
remained sickly for upwards of a month afterwards ; and then
miscarried. No apparent motive was imputed to the prisoner
for the offence with which he was charged. His demeanour on
the occasion was urged as the ground of suspicion against him.
Before. the examination of the first witness for the prosecu-
tion was closed,
Mr. JESSOPP urged, on behalf of the prisoner, the propriety
of establishing, in the first instance that part of the indictment
which charged the prisoner with administering a deadly poison.
Now he apprehended that copperas was not a deadly poison.
Mr. Chit, a Chemist, of Chelmsford, gave it as his opinion,
that copperas was not, properly speaking, a deadly poison,
and that the stomach would reject a dose sufficient to produce
de.ith, befbre it could have that effect. Two ounces, if dis-
solved in liquid and retained in the stomach, might produce
very serious consequences, but lie was not sure it would occa-
sion death.

Dr. John Baddeley, a Physician of Chelmsford, gave it as
hisppinion that two drachms of copperas would produce death.
On his cross-examination he admitted, that he was confound-
ing verdigris with copperas, supposing that copper produced
the substance called copperas. He was Ignorant that copper
did not enter into the composition of copperas. The learned
physician's evidence was a little confused and unsatisfactory.
Mr. Baron G RAIIA being of opinion that the evidence as to
the deadly property of the drug alluded to have been admini-
stered having failed, he thought the indictment could not pro-
ceed, and therefore directed an acquittal.
The Jury accordingly found the prisoner—Not Guilty.
There was nothing of public interest in the Nisi Priut Court
to-day.

CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE Ix THE HIGHLANDS.

Yesterday the 49th Anniversary Festival of the Society in
Scotland, for propagating Christian Knowledge in the Highlands
and Islands, was celebrated at the Albion, Aldersgate-street.
His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, President, took the
Chair at 6 o'clock, supported on his right by Sir F. Baker, Bart.
and on the left by Mr. Sheriff Garratt. After the cloth was re-
moved, Non Nobis Domine sung by Messrs. Broadhurst, Taylor,
and Finny, and the usual toasts given, the Royal Chairman rose,
and entered at some length into a recital of the merits of the In-
stitution, the many advantages it possessed, and the benefits it
had conferred on deserving objects. His Royal Highness la-
mented very deeply the absence of several Members of Parlia-
ment and other men of rank, who, he thought, ought to be
present on an occasion so important ; but he hoped they would
shew just cause why they did not attend, and prove to the So-
ciety they had not forgotten the charity, by coming forward with
their subscriptions. He knew that that evening several gentle-
men were detained in the House on important business. The
last thing he could accuse a Scotchman of was, want of attach-
ment to his native country. He should conclude, by soliciting
every Scotchman present to shew that attachment by his contri-
bution that evening.—Mr. Sheriff Garratt, Dr. Waugh, Mr.
Thompson, the Secretary to the Institution, and other Gentle-
men, delivered appropriate speeches, and about 3001. were col-
lected. The utmost conviviality prevailed during the evening,
and it was much heightened by the vocal exertions of the pro-
fessional gentlemen present.

SHROPSHIRE COUNTY MEETING.

Monday'last a meeting of the Proprietors, Landholders, &c.
of the county of Salop, was held in Shrewsbury, for the purpose
of taking into their consideration the propriety of presenting a
petition to Parliament on the present alarming and unparalleled
state of Agricultural Distr6s. On the motion of the [Jon. G.
BENNET, the Hon. Thomas Kenyon was called to the Chair.
The meeting assembled in the Shire-hall, but it not being
found sufficiently capacious, it was 'adjourned to the quarry..._
As soon as Mr. Kenyon had stated the object of the meet-
ing, J. C. Pelham, Esq. moved that it should adjourn, in
consequence of many Peers and Commoners, who are the prin-
cipal owners of land in the county, being necessailly absent.
The motion was put and negatived.—William Lloyd, Esq.
of Aston, after noticing the state of agricultural distress
and the inadequacy of the relief proposed by Ministers, read a
copy of a petition to the House of Commons, stating that the
petitioners were suffering under the most intense and unparal-
leled distress, and that, unless adequate and immediate relief
was aflbrded, they could but contemplate the total destruction
of their properties.--The reading of this Petition was received
with great applause ; after which, William Owen, -Esq., of
Woodhouse, the Hon. G. Bennet, W. Lacon Childe, Esq.,
R. A. Slaney, Esq., and Rowland Hill, Esq., spoke in favour
of the petition.—Lord CLIVE and Sir Josew WROT TESLEY
also addressed the meeting.--The petition was then put to the
vote, and carried unanimously, with the exception of only two
hands held up against it.—Thanks were then voted to the
Chairman, and the meeting separated.

The amount of Country Bankers' Notes. stamped for the
year ending October 10, 1821, was X 3,347,202 ; and from the
10th October, 1021, to 9th March, 1822, the amount was
£1,097;131.
