BATII, OCT. 12.

We mentioned a few weeks hack the circum-
stance of Dr. LUSCOMBE being lately consecrated by the
Scottish Bishops, and sent to the Continent for ecclesiastical
purposes : he has there confirmed several descendants of Bri-
tish subjects. , Dr. Luscornbe" was ordained Deacon and Priest
in the English Church, and now resides in Paris : he was con-
secrated Bishop in the chapel in Stirling, and the sermon
preached on that occasion was by the Reverend Mr. Hook, son
of the Dean of Worcester. A recent institution has been formed
in Edinburgh, through the munificent bequest of a lady,
amounting to some thousand pounds, for the purpose of en-
dowing an Episcopalian Theological Professorship, to be en-
joyed by an A.M. of Oxford or Cambridge,- subject to the
controul of the Scottish Bishops. The first lectures were given
last season, and are to be there continued annually. It is
thought such a system will be of great benefit to students who
cannot afford an University education, and at the same time
produce able candidates for an episcopal ministry.
We hope that the elperiment tried at the late Assize for the
county of Berks v ill become general throughout the United
Kingdom, and also at the Quarter Sessions. We mean the
distinguishing in the calendars the prisoners who cannot read or
write from those who can. It will then be seen how useful the
National School system really is. Where the statement was
made, it was in favour of that excellent institution.
We stated in our last that Mr. Baylay had withdrawn his
pretensions as a candidate for the representation of Taunton,
and that Mr. Seymour had offered himself in his stead. Mr.
Baylay has since put forth an address, in which he asserts that
his resignation was forced on him by his own Committee, and
pledges himself; on the faith of the promises of support of a
large portion of the electors, to stand the poll. The Committee
have issued a counter-statement, denying Mr. Baylay's asser-
tions, and referring to the resignation under his own signature,
In the mean time Mr. Cresswell, of Pinckney Park, Wilts,
brother of the Reverend H. Cresswell, vicar of Creech Saint
Michael, has canvassed the town, and declares his intention to
stand the poll.--(Bath Chronicle.)

It appears by the Paris Papers of Monday that
there %%as a disturbance at Rouen when General
LAFAYETTE passed through that town. Ile dined
with M. Cabanon, one of his old colleagues in the
Chamber of Deputies. More than 1,000 persons
assembled in front of the house in the evening,
shouting " Vive Lafayette !" The police thought
fit to call out the gendarmerie to clear the street.
The populace were charged with drawn sabres,
and many were injured.

The Elate of Wednesday was received this
morning by express. It does not contain any
intelligence of moment. Letters from Salonica,
dated 26111 August, and published in the Male,
say, that the Capita!' PACHA, whilst engag-
ed in disembarking some men to assigt the
Seraskier in his siege of Missolonghi, had
been compelled to a precipitate flight by the
sudden appearance of the Greek fleet. Thu Al-
banian forces, it is added, were much dispirited
by the reverses they met with. The situa-
tion, too, of IsitAnim in the Morea was
represented as extremely critical, as the
whole country, assisted by the Maniotes, had
risen, and obliged him to retire into Tripo-
lizza. Letters from Corfu represent the in-
surrection in Candia as having made great
progress. The insurgents had been reinforced
by the arrival of 2,500 Greek islanders,
who brought with them a large quantity of arms
and munitions. Mi,solonghi was, however still
besieged by land, notwithstanding the blockade
on the sea side wad completely raised.
This intelligence but increases our embarrass-
ments as to the real state of the Greeks and
Turks, and adds but very little to our previous
information on the subject. Far from clearing up
the doubts that prevail as to the real state of
the war in the Morea, or throwing the least
light upon the movements of the hostile armies
it only augments the confusion, and involves us
still deeper in the d.ak on this interesting point.
The policy of the different States of Europe
depends so much on the course of events there,
that we look with some impatience for authentiC
information.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday continue the
discussions on the late Proclamation of the King
of ENGLAND, and the opinions expressed by the
diferent editors are almost as various as the

papers themselves. By some it is ►egarded as
an act of submission to Turkey, and made the
vehicle of much unmeaning abuse, others call it
a sacrifice to the Holy Alliance, and others
again characterise it as it really is, an act of
justice due to the belligerent powers.

The intelligence from Madrid, contained in
these Papers, is of a satisfactory character,
and goes far to confirm us in the opinion we
lately expressed, that the eyes of FERDINAND
are opening to the real state of his unfortunate
dominions. If the consultative Junta shall pur-
sue their inquiries with firmness, and decide upon
the questions submitted to their consideration,
unbiassed by party, and with the public good
only before them, much benefit may be derived
from their deliberations, especially if their opi-
nions are acted upon with energy, and the Mi-
nisters will follow up their recommendations.
We are almost afraid so much honesty is not
to be found among the Members of the Consulta-
tive Junta, and that methods will be adopted to
sway their decisions, and bend them to the inte-
rests of any particular party which may happen to
have the upper hand. Three questions have been
submitted to their consideration, viz. Fitts; What
are the means calculated to conciliate the colonies,
and induce them again to submit to the Mother
Country? SECOND, Wha t means should be adopted
to facilitate the negociation of a loan, and to render
its conditions as little onerous as may be ? TuinD,
Whether it would be best totally to suppress the
system of purification, or at first only to modify
it, and if the latter what modifications they would
recommend The first of these questions they
need not trouble themselves much about. Any
consideration of the point would only be so
much time lost, because any recommendations
they could make would be vain and fruitless.
The second too is quite as easily disposed
of, for a loan on almost any terms to Spain
could hardly be deemed onerous. Tho last
is the most momentous of the whole, and the
only one, as it appears to us, worthy of
a moment's deliberation, and that not so much
with reference to the question of purification or
no purification, but only so far as it indirectly
relates to the state of the parties in Spain, and
the state of Spain itself. When we consider this
point, our hopes diminish apace, for we doubt the
Absolute KING would scarcely submit to the
only policy which could re-assure his Crown, and
quiet his distracted People.

Letters from Missolonghi to the 22d July state,
that the plague had manifested itself at Modon
and Navarino. The flag of the Crescent was, it
is said, displayed upon the ramparts of Napoli
de Malvoisie. Six Greek vessels which were at
anchor before the town had fallen into the
hands of IBRAHIM PACHA.

In addition to this news from Greece, we have
made the follo‘sing extracts from the Aiken:eine
Zeitung and Frankfort Papers of the 6th instant.
That from the Allgemeine Zeitung is repeated in
the French Papers of Wednesday as an extract
from the Augsburg Gazette.

CON6TANTINOPLE, SEPT. 10.

It is indeed affirmed that Ibrahim Pacha has left Tripolizza,
aid returned to Navarin, where he will wait for the reinforce-
ments that the Capt. Pacha is to bring to him ; but this report
does not seem to deserve any credit. Redschid Pacha, not-
withstanding his losses, is still before illissolonghi, and the
siege is not raised. We hare no other news here.
CANEA, JULY 24.—( Prom the Oriental Spectator.)

The Egyptians have taken the command of our place. A
Greek, who has turned Turk, has come here to give informa-
tion of a conspiracy formed by the Greeks against the lurks,
which was to break out in a village which he named : a priest
( Papas) was said to be at the head of this conspiracy, the ra-
mifications of which are unknown. The armed forces proceeded
to the spot, and succeeded in discovering between 200 and 250
muskets which wereconcealecl. This circumstance is aggravating
because protection was granted to the Greeks after the island
was subjected, andevery thing was replaced on its former footing
but to prevent any fresh sedition, proclamation was made at
Canea and every where else, twice a week, for some time, that
every Greek who had arms in his possession should deliver
them up to the local Authorities on pain of death. Twenty-five
persoms have been arrested in the village, on the information of
the above Greek. He was himself implicated in the conspiracy,
and discovered it on embracing the Musselman faith. These
25 Greeks are in prison, but no sentence has yet been passed
on them.

The plague has not wholly ceased, and at intervals of 10 days
cases still occur.

Brussels Papers which arrived this morning
have nothing of interest in them. The following

are extracts :

BILIISSELS, OCT. 7.

It is affirmed that the ch•il code will be entirely completed
in the approaching Session of the States-General, and that the
project of law on the codes of Commerce and of judicial pro-
ceedings, as well as a law on the Burgher-Guard, will be laid
before the States-General.

OCT. 9.—llis Majesty will set out for the Hague on Thurs
day afternoon; her Majesty the Queen will leave on the fol
lowing day.

On the 6th of this month, Prince Frederick visited the camp
at Nimy, and on the 7th examined the fortifications of Mons,
especially the new works now carrying on.

Oct. 10.—His Majesty had made many nominations in tile
Order of the Belgic Lion. Among these nominations is the
name of 411. Ternaltx,
