NORWICH ASSIZES.

John Parker, aliasylt;nore, a married man with three chil-
dren, was convicted of a -rape on Susan Ripper, a little girl
about fifteen years old, living at Wilhy.—The Judge (BEsT)
in passing sentence of death, thus addressed the wretched Pri-
soner :—" You pretend to be a religious man, and ought to have
recollected that your offence was equally heinous in the sight
of that God, whom you profess to serve, as it was in the eye of
the laws of your country. But lam afraid you belong to one
of those sects by whom the fashionable doctrine of a mere shew
of religion is inculcated, while the duties it enjoins are totally
neglected ; and should you have been a dupe to these most de-
testable doctrines, I trust it will be a warning to others, and that
they will be induced to study that Book from which they pre-
tend to preach, where they will find it written, that ' not every
one who says—Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of hea-
ven,' but he that doeth the will of Him who is in heaven."

THE UNFORTUNATE AERONAUTS.

( From the Gloucester Herald of Saturday. )
We are happy to be enabled to lay the following highly sa-
tisfactory official communication before the public, which we
received just as we were going to press :
" Turk Dean, Friday, Aug. 2, 1822. Two o'Clock,l. m.
Mr. Griffiths has gained considerable strength ; he is able
to move with less pain, and upon the whole is in a very favour-
able state. Mr. Green is more free from pain, but he still re-
mains in a precarious condition."
We learn by another account that Mr. Griffith, who ascended
with Mr. Green, is Proprietor of the Cheltenham Chronicle.

On Sunday afternoon the body of a soldier was
found drowned in the Regent's Canal, near the Rosemary
Branch. His hands and feet were tied. From a letter found
in his pocket, his name appears to be Corporal Stuart, of the
Guards, now in the Tower.

[MORNING HERALD.]

The several conspiracies in France, from the
second restoration of Louis XVIII. down to the
plot of General Berton, present a singular and
uniform proof of the infatuated temerity with
which Frenchmen attempt gigantic projects,
with an utter blindness to the inadequacy of
their means—perhaps, also, of the small pro-
portion of pure Buonapartists, compared with
those who are either Constitutionalists or Roy-
alists. The only insurrection of any moment was
that headed by a person named Didier, at Gre-
noble; and even he mustered only 1,500 or 2,000
men. Berton's, though the most curious, is, on
the face of the legal documents which have been
published, the most insignificant of them. Its chief
interest arises from the connection which several
of the leading Liberals in the Chamber of Depu-
ties are, no doubt, stated to `have had with his
insurrectionary mission to Thouars and Saumur. I f
the act of accusation may be relied on,these deputies
are involved, though somewhat vaguely, by Ber-
ton himself. Ile is made to state 44 that he had
intercourse with them" previous to his leaving
Paris•. They have remonstrated with indigna-
tion, if not rage, against this 64 calumny" upon
their characters, which they charge upon the
spies and informers employed by the Govern-
ment, and demand an inquiry into the con-
duct of the law officer who took the exami-
nation,- for having received and recorded the
declarations by which they are implicated.—
This unreasonable demand was naturally re-
fused. It was the business of the law officer
to transmit the depositions and declarations in
tact. Still time French Ministry stand in a strange
position. The DepUties dare them to proceed
upon these depositions against them (the De-
puties) as accomplices of Berton. " No," say
the Ministers, " but if the evidence shall be esta-
blished, will they dare to proceed against you ?"
It is absurd to suppose that, after the Ministers
themselves have discredited the depositions in
the first instance, by declining to act upon them,
they should turn out worthy of credit.

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday Mill-
ing as the Laplanders, accompanied by their
rein deer, were taking an airing on the Cal-
ton Hill, Monsieur imagining he should have
a finer view from Nelson's Monument, as-
cended that lofty structure, followed by the
deer. The party remained on the top upwards.
of an hour, and caused a crowd of astonished
spectators to assemble in Waterloo Place:—

7,000 were sold fit low
.prices, there, being no fo-
reign purchasers; especially from Switzerland, and
no butchers from Strasburgh, raris, Lyons, &c.
STRASBURGH, JULY 14.—The interruption of
our commercial relations with the South of Ger-
many causes a general despondency in Alsace,
and most, of all in Strasburg!) itself. This city
was by its situation the chief depot of all French
goods, and of part of the colonial produce that
went to Germany. The transit of the goods
which we did not sell ourselves to our neighbours,
increased the advantages which our situation af-
forded us. The Government indeed was so sen-
sible of this, that some years ago it did its utmost
to favour the transit of colonial produce on the
left bank of the Rhine, which had till then been
on the right bank. But now Strasburgh loses
both its own and the transit trade at one blow,
and this blow will be felt through France. Wine
is made in almost every part of France, in the
east, the south, and the west, and a great part of
the interior. The exportation was very great.
Alsace alone exported to Germany and Switzer-
land wine to the amount of ten millions. If we take
the loss sustained by this Province as a standard,
how great must be the injury sustained by the other
Provinces where there are more vineyards, the
value of which, on account of the superior qua-
lity, must he estimated thrice as high or more.
Alsace sold also leaf tobacco to the Germans ;
this, too, is included in the prohibition lately
enacted., This article and wine constituted the
chief riches of our landholders.
If we look at the productions of our manu-
factures, we shall find the same diminution ; the
use of them is already prohibited it is come to
such a pitch, that those Who on the other side of
the Rhine wear silk, or other French manufac-
tures,' are exposed to be publicly insulted, and
besides that these articles are loaded with enor-
mous dutieS, the French dealers who travel for
orders are subject to a license tax. in ,Germany
and Switzerland, which is higher or lower in
every separate state. If this continues, the Ger-
mans will wholly supplant our manufactures.
The prices of grain rise daily, and those of wine
decline.

_c is not yet certain what the S wiss Diet will do,
aft most of the Swiss Cantons seem disposed to
,oin the German States in their measures against
French commerce. Zurich and Basle, it is
thought, risk the most by joining in them, as their
exportation of floret silk yarn to France is very
considerable.

SPAIN.

MADRID, JULY 18.—The affairs of Catalonia
assume a serious aspect.: the predictions of the
Patriots are unhappily verified, but the cause of
the evils is now known, and the remedies ail.
plied will soon have their effect.—Yesterday the
King published the following Decree, signed by
himself :
" Viewing the extraordinary circumstances of the country,
and the disasters which afflict Catalonia, in consequence of the
plots of the enemies of the State, who have succeeded in dis-
turbing the repose and tranquillity of its inhabitants; and con-
sidering that the National Militia, who have given so many
proofs of their adherence to the Constitution, are still employed
in a service as painful to themselves as it is prejudicial to their
families, by withdrawing them from their usual occupations ;
we have, after taking the advice of our Council, after consult-
ing the permanent Deputation of the Cortes, and subject to the
approbation of the Extraordinary Cortes, which we are about
to convoke, decreed as follows :
" 1. That there shall be a fresh levy of 25,000 men, in the
Peninsula and the Islands on the Ist of August.
" 2. That these 25,000 men shall serve to form, with the
shortest delay possible, the 3d battalions of the 37 regiments of
the line and light troops.
" 3. They shall -complete, likewise, those of the cavalry of
the line and the light troops. ►
" 4. This measure shall extend equally to the regiments of
foot and flying artillery, and to the sappers and pioneers.
" 5. All the extra officers joined to the different regiments of
the regular army shall be called to form the third battalions,
and those who are not in activity are placed at the disposal of
the Minister of War as if they were.
" Finally, there is placed at the disposal of the Minister of
War a sum of eight millions of reals, to aid in this levy of
25,000 men, subject to the ulterior arranments which the
Extraordinary Cortes whom I shall convoke as soon as pus-
sible, may make, taking into consideration -this Decree, and
the pressing and urgent circumstances which have induced me
:o issue it.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Snt—l cannot refrain from making known
through the medium of the public press, an instance of gene-
rosity as gratifying as praiseworthy ; and though I am by no
means acquainted with the individual in question (whose sym-
pathy has manifested itself towards a Family that have lost
their only support), yet I feel persuaded he will excuse the li-
berty taken in. publishing this distinguished act of disinterested
kindness.
Mr. Clarkson, who keeps a large and highly respectable Aca-
demy at Bowes Hall, near Greta-bridge,, Yorkshire, for the
education of young gentlemen, being in this city a day or two
ago, collecting his pupils after their Midsummer vacation, ca-
sually heard of the death of that worthy character Emery—and
of the deep affliction his aged parents, wife, and numerous young
offspring were thrown into thereby ; when he instantaneously
made the offer to board and educate a son of the deceased for
several years gratuitously. This unostentatious diSplay of
kindness from one who knew but little of poor Emery cannot
be contemplated without eulogizing the benevolent deed, and
applauding the generous benefactor.
The proposal, I understand, will be laid before the Com-
mittee by a Member of the same, acting for and in behalf of
the afflicted family. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,

STORMS.

There have been some serious]ains in the
North lately. On Wednesday se'nnight New-
castle was visited with a thunder storm, accom-
panied by a remarkably heavy rain. Nothing so
violent, and of such long duration, has been re-
membered for many, years. The lower part of the
town was in a great measure under water, and se-
veral grocers and other shopkeepers, who had pe-
rishable goods in their warehouses, suffered
greatly. In Westgate-street the violence of
the flood was so great that a child was carried
down by it a considerable distance, and extricated
with some difficulty. In Sangate, the conduits
were forced open, and the street so much flooded
that passengers were obliged to employ some
young Keelmen to carry them through at a penny
a piece. A cow and an ox were killed by the
electric fluid at Pigs Wood, near Morpeth.

The most terrible STORMS, it would appear,
have taken place on the Continent lately. That which occurred
at Venice on the 24th of June is not paralleled in the memory
of the oldest person living. The wind was a perfect hurricane,
and thunder, hail, and lightning, gave the comble to the terrific.
Four vessels in the harbour were upset, and most of the others
were dismasted. A great number of chimnies were blown
down ; while benches, chairs, &c. flew about the Square of St.
Mark's like so many feathers. All the windows in the town
were demolished, and 130 persons perished in the waters. The
leads of the prison, which had stood for centuries, were torn up
and scattered to the winds,—and generally the loss and damage
is great and incalculable.—The injury done to the neighbour-
ing country by the hail is extreme. The hopes of a bountiful
crop of Turkish corn and wine are literally annihilated. The
hail was so ponderous, that several horses which could not be
got out of the way in time were seriously wounded.

[THE 'f Ire E3.]

Thera rages an intestine war among the Ra-
dicals, which can . hardly be otherwise than of
good omen for the reputable friends of. English
-liberty and, law. Johnson and Hunt are at open
feud,. wherein much ink and anger have been
already spilt on both sides: Johnson, shocked
:at having it snpposcd that the paltry sum of
61.455. Bt. had discharged Hunt, I,vhorn he styles
in derision " St. Henry of iichester," from all
obligations towards himself,. writes 36 pages of
invective against " St. Henry ;" and we must
confess, if one half, of Johnson's facts be true, he
shews the " saint" to be exceedingly selfish
and. - slippery. The whole story, contained
in a Letter addressed to Hunt, is one of
pounds, shillings,, and pence ; of divers jour.
neyings, borrowings, subscription-pocketings, ra-
dical processions, and triumphal entries, got
up by Legerdemain and manceuvre—witnesses
„starved, horse corn pilfered, and such like
patriotic devices. ft is a glorious thing when
these worthies fall outoince the ground is cleared
of so touch rubbish, and the upright advocates of
freedom and reform are thus left room enough to
.a.ct in, undisturbed and unsuspected of evil com-
munications. If the cause of the Constitution
were capable of being represented like Consols
by poueds sterling, sure we are that it would
rise full. 20 per eeet. on the demolition of
these demagogues by each other. Their extinc-
tion ensures reinforcements to the reforming inte-
rest among the better classes of English Gentle-
men, as the temporary activity and success of
these incendiaries never fail to alienate the timid
and:to throw them into the arms of the common
enemy. Let only the Radicals be set well at
rest,.and, notwithstandieg the unfortunate corn-
position of the House of Commons, we shall see,
• ere the lapse of three or four Sessions, a majority
in favour of Reform.

A VOICE FROM THE HIGHLAYDS.
The peak of yon mountain is shining in light,

Like the beacon which summoned our fathera to tight :
Each Chief from the Highlands has followed the blaze,
At the call of his Monarch his standard to raise:

The sleep of the heathcocl; is peaceful and still,
For the pibroch has summoned the Sons of the Hill
I'7e have left the red deer to be lord.of the glen,
And by tens and by fifties have mustered our men.

Yet the dirk and the broadsword may serve but to show
That to welcome a foeman we had not been slow ;
We haste where yon vessel approaches the land,
But it is not for battle we press to the strand.

Our Chieftains they crowd. rour.d the greatest of all,
The first in the field, and the first in the hall,
To so mighty a Master 'tis given to few,
So fair and so willing a liGiliage t() dQ.

No Master but he, for his frown or his smiles,
Could cell from his mountain the Lord of the Isla,
To him, and no other, in duty would bow,
The plume of the eagle on T flr.nr..Arrn's brow.

For him, and no other, Gr.k...No,tatty would stay
So far from the stag and the rifle away.
They are few to whom CAmraEr.r. or GORDON would yield
Unbidden precedence in hall or in Field. •

14lien be musters his Idesnien, the best shall not fail
-!is standard to bow, and his bonnet tovail.
From a long line of Chiefs his dominion -
His vassals a host, and a people his clan.

Then sound me that pibroch, the shrill:st and best,
Which woke in Arroyos the French from their rest,
Then loud be your shot as on Maida it. rose
O'er the clash of your claymores, your bayonets close.

Though calm of demeanour, our spirits can 00,77,
At the smile of a friend, or the scowl of a foe ;
When his vessel approaches yen mountain shall ring,
with the shout which we rrise for our Chieftain and KING.

CANTERBURY, Nov. 5.

The notice of a motion in the ensuing Session
of Parliament, by Mr. Curteis, the Member for Sussex, for the
'purpose of repealing the provisions of the Act of the 5-Ith
George 111. requiring each Hop Planter to mark the Bags
and Pockets of his produce, with his name and the place
where grown, occasioned a very large and respectable meet-
ing of the Planters of East Kent at the Fleece Inn, in this
City, on Saturday last, when a series of resolutions were passed
indicative of their most decided opposition to the repeal of an
enactment so just in its principle, with regard to the planter,
and so beneficial in its operation, as affecting the consumer;
and that the Members for the County, and also those for the
City of Canterbury, and for the other places in Kent, be inL
instructed to oppose any attempt which may hereafter be made
to effect the abrogation of Legislative provisions so material to
the interests of the planters of Kent.
From our Ramsgate Correspondent we learn, the first stone
of the Monument about to he erected on the works of the Royal
Harbour at that place, in commemoration of the landing of his
most gracious Majesty King George the Fourth from the Con-
tinent, being the first anniversary, will be laid about noon on
Friday next the Bth inst. The Trustees of the Royal Harbour
have given orders for the Pier House to be opened for the use
of the public, and no pains will be spared to accommodate
those who may choose to be present during the ceremony.
The Earl of Liverpool, who, with Mr. Canning, was there
yesterday, has signified to Sir Win. Curtis, Bart. his iptention
of visiting Ramsgate on the above day, to assist on the occa-
sion ; and should the weather prove favourable, it is expected
many hundreds of visitors will flock from the country to wit-
ness the ceremony. The scaffolding which was raised yester-
day is allowed to be one of the completest erections ever seen.
and no expence has been spared to render every thing safe and
strong.—( Kentish pazettc.)

CANOVA.—A portrait of this lamented Artist,
we find, was painted by Mr. JAcKsoN, It. A.
during his visit to Rome, with Mr. CHANTRT,
It. A. at the desire of the latter. It is gratify-
ing to observe this harmony among artists, in
whom jealousy is lost in mutual esteem and
liberal competition, and the more so respectmg
Mr. CHANTRY, whose profession is of the sAme
nature with that of the departed ornameLt of
modern sculpture.

PORTUGAL.

The following Decree has been published in
Lisbon, no doubt for the purpose of preventing persons who
are enjoying the pensions attached to the Commanderships of
the three Military Orders of Portugal, from residing abroad
without due licence, as several are known to be still engaged
in plots against their country :
" in conformity to a Resolution of the Secretary of State for
the Home Department, dated-the 12th of August in the cur-
rent year, ordered to be' observed by the subsequent one or
the 26th of last September, purporting that the Board of
ConscjAcnce and Orders should proceed to the sequestration of
property connected with the said orders, and administered for
persons absent from the kingdom without the permission of his
Majesty, and as the laws determine t- the said Board hereby or-
dains, that the Commanders of the three Military Orders, ab-.
sent from this kingdom, shall; within the peremptory term of
four months, if resident in Europe; six, if residing in'Ame-
rica and Africa ; one year, if residing in Asia, from' the date
of the present Deme, exhibit the'titles authorising them to be
absent, under the penalty of haVing their Commwitlerships se-
questrated, and themselves proceeded against conformably to
the laws of the' kingdotn.
"Lisbon, 19th Oct. 1822.
(Signed) "AIRES MASCA R A MIAS VALDEZ."
A project was some time ago forthecifor the creation of a Mi-
litary Order, intended to he given to those who had deserved
well of their country in the late Revolution of Portugal. The
project was lately sUbniitted to the Cortes and unanimously re-
jected, although those who voted against it were among the re-
generators, and consequently entitled to the distinction if the
project had been carried into effect.
The Cortes were to close their Sittings on the 4th Instant, and
it was intended that the King should be present at the ceremony.

NEW SOUTH WALES.

Sydney Gtnettes to the sth April inclusive hate
been received. The only article worth extract-
ing is the following :

" SYDNEY, Miancit 22.—0 n Wednesday last, his Excel-
lency the President, and Members of the Philosophical Society
of Australasia, made an excnitsion to the south bead of Botany
Bay, for the purpose of affixing a brazen table with the follow-
ing inscription against the rock on which Captain Cook and
Sir Joseph Banks first landed :

A. D.-3ID-CCI.XX.
• Under the auspices of British Science,
These Shores were Discovered
By
James-Cook and Joseph Banks,
The Columbus and Mreeenas-of their time.
This spot once saw them ardent
In the pursuit of Knowledge ;
Now;
To their Memory, this Tablet is inscribed,
In the first Year
• Of
The Philosophical Society of Australasia.
Sir Thomas Brisbane, K.C.8.. P.R.S.L. and E.
(Corresponding Member of the Institute of France),
President. ,
A. D.-31DCCCXXII.

" On this interesting occasion. the Soci;Ay had -the good for-
tune to be Assisted by Captain Gambier, and several of the
officers of his Majesty's ship Dauntless ; and, after dining to-
gether in a natural arbOur on the shore, they all repaired to the
rock against which they saw the tablet soldered, about 25 feet
above the level of the sea ; and they there drank to the im-
mortal fame of the illustrious men whose discoveries they were
then met to commemorate."
London, England, 1822-11-06

SOUTH AMERICA.

.The following are extracts of Letters from the
Agents to Lloyd's at Lima :
" MAY 24.—The Peruvian States schooner Cruz, has arrived
from blockading the coast of Upper Peru : consequently only a
small schooner remains to enforce the blockade. '

" MAY 28.—The British brig Olive Branch, lately condemn
ed here, is entirely in the power of this Government. The
captain and crew have been sent on shore, and the vessel is de-
tained fora transpOrt. The 'American brig Dick has been
forced into the service of carrying troops, but no doubt the ar-
rival of the Fri nklin will put a stop to these proceedings. No
fresh regulatitmis have taken place lately in regard to commerce.
The duty on winos has been reduced from 80 to 48 per cent.—
It still remains J 0 on spirits, and also on sugar imported.
" JUrrx 20.—1 t is believed that the Spanish troops are're-
treating. Troops' have also been lately moving from hence‘ and
it is supposed that they will advance into the interior. Shipi
of war, and transports, amounting to 15 ail, left Callao four
days ago ; their destination is pot known ; they took few or no
troops with them; but carried a-full supply of provisions and
water. No news of-Lord Cochrane. The Chili States ship
Independencia was spoken with about 14 days ago, beating to
windward in lat. 10.. S. The crew of Chili brig Araucano, of
18 guns, it is said, have risen, put the Captain on shore on the
coast of Spain, and carried off the vessel.. His Majesty's
ship Doris remains here, and the Conway is daily expected,
The British brig Anna is condemned for breach of blockade,
and the Genoese ship Diana sent down on the same pretence.
" By a decree passed about the Ist pf this month, vessels of
any flag are allowed in coasting voyages, the same privilege as
those of the State, but are liable to be taken up as transports or
otherwise, at. the option of the Government. This has checked
the coasting trade much, and the information maybe useful to
those who are engaged to trade in this country. The disposable
fOrce of the Patriots amounts to between 9,009. and 9,000 men
pretty well disciplined. The Spaniards have About
.6,000 or
7,000 men ; but they possess a superior cavalry." •

PIRACIES OFF JAMAICA.

-----
KINGSTON, Au G. 10.—The Chart, Dougal, arrived on the
4th inst. from St. Thomas's, was boarded three days before in
the Mona Passage, by a long armed sch;xmer, with one long
gun, two carronades, and 40 or 50 men.
LUCIA, (JAMAICA), AUG. 29.—The schooner Lucia, of this
port, on her way from Savannah to Mar, when about a mile and
a half to the westward of St.. John's oint, fell in with a long
low schooner, with about 40 or 50 men, armed with cutlasses :
on observing the Lucia, she bore down and hailed her, but find-
ng she had troops on. board, immediately tacked.
KINGSTON, AUG. 31.—0 n Monday afternoon, about five
o'clock, a small pilot boat schooner, with Spanish colours, hav-
ing a gun amid ships, and full of men, gave chase to the Spa-
nish schooner Neuva Pelicana, which had sailed from Port
Royal that morning, for St. Jago de Cuba, and fired several
shots at her, upon which the Master of the Nueva Pelicana ran
her on shore at Harbour Head, which was distinctly seen from
this city. The pirate pursued her till within half a mile of the
beach, when she put about and stood to the southward.. The
Nueva Pelicand; it is supposed, will be lost, her keel being
knocked off, and she is bilged. It is feared that part of her
cargo will be amaged. We understand that the above priva-
teer was spoken with a few days before in Cow Bay, by the
pilot boat belonging to the Commercial Rooms. On Monday the
Patty was chastd about fifty miles from land by a privateer
schooner, which fired twice at her ; when, caning away some
of her masts, she gave up the eheze. A Dutch sloop from St.
Jago de Cuba, bound to Curaeoa, ha§ been taken off the Moro
by ten men in an open long boat, and plundered.
LUCIA, SErr. 3.—There has been a pirate schooner block-
ading this port for these ten days past, and has her station be-
tween Negril and Montego Bay. A. Spanish vessel, with goods
has been detained here these five days, fearful of going out.
KINGSTON, SEPT. 14.—0 n the 2d inst. the schooner Cullo-
den was boarded and plundered off the north side of St:Do-
mingo, 'by a low Spanish-built schooner armed with. one
6-pounder and eight men (six Spaniards and two English or
Americans.

SEPTEUBER 16.—Daring piracies occur daily at na great
distancefrom our island, and some ofthe ports are even blockaded
by the piratical cruisers-
NAstitu, AUG. 31.-:-The schtioner Eliza, Bartlett, belong-
ing to this port, sailed from- hence on the 13th instant for Cuba.
and on the north side was captured.by a piratical vessel, which
carried her into a creek, and the owner of the cargo was obliged.
to pay several thousand dollars as'Pransorn.
