MR. ABERCRONMY.

Mr. STEIN, the House of Commons' Messenger,
and Mr. HILL, the King's Messenger, yesterday
returned to town from Edinburgh. The former
conveyed the orders of the House of Commons
for Mr. hope and Mr. Menzies to attend at the
Bar of the House; and the latter Messenger was'
the bearer of Mr. Peel's directions to the Lord
Provost to summon those two Gentlemen forth.
with before him, and to adopt such steps as
should compel them to observe the peace to-
wards Mr. Abercromby. The two Messengers
left town on Tuesday night about nine o'clock.
'ln about half an hour they were followed by
Mr. Spiller, another Commons' Messenger, who
had to forward the Order of the House directing
Mr. Abercromby to attend in his place " forth-
with." The latter messenger overtook the other
messengers at Hatfield, whence the whole party
proceeded as rapidly as possible till they got to
Durham. As they went along, Mr. Spiller left
information at the different post-houses,stages,&c.
at Ferry bridge and elsewhere of the measures that
had been adopted by the House regardingMr.Aber-
cromby in particular ; but as they could no where
gain any tidings of Mr. Abercromby having
preceded them, according to previous concert, Mr.
Spitler paused at Durham, to' make inquiries
about letters for Mr. Abercromby, &c. The
other Messengers continued on their journey,
and arrived in Edinburgh soon after nine o'clock
on Thursday night. They thus accomplished
the journey of near 400 miles in 48 hours, which
was proceeding at an average of about 8 miles and
a half an hour; and during a considerable portion
of thejourney they had to leave directions at va-
rious stations of the orders they were conveying,
so that Mr. Abercromby might be apprised of
them, in the event of his pursuing their route.—
On their arrival in Edinburgh, Mr. Stein pro-
ceeded immediately to the residences of ,Mr.
Hope and Mr. Menzies. Both were from home ;
both were out at dinner parties ; and Mr. Stein
was unable to serve them with the Processes
of the House till two o'clock on Friday morn-
ing. lie returned to and waited at Mr. Hope's
residence till that gentleman's return, and hav-
ing served him with the Order, the Messenger
proceeded to Mr. Menzies, and executed the like
purpose. In the mean time, Mr. Hill, the King's
Messenger, found the Lord Provost of Edinburgh,
and handed to him Mr. Peel's letters and direc-
tions. Search for Mr. hope and Mr. Menzies,
was instantly instituted, with instructions to find
them forthwith, and bring them before the Lord
Provost; and this duty was so promptly executed,
that soon after midnight, the• Lord Provost had
bound them to maintain the peace. Both the gen-
tlemen expressed their willingness to obey imme-
diately and implicitly the orders of the Rpuse ;
and with that view they left Edinburgh on Fri-
day, travelling together in a private chariot, but
proceeding post. . The two messengers, having
thus fulfilled the object of their journey, left
Edinburgh in the Friday evening's mail ; but
they had hardly gone one stage, before'they met
Mr. Spiller at Haddington, on his way to Edin-
burgh, with the Orde'r for Mr. Abercromby.
Letters from the Serjeant at Arms and the
Speaker's Secretary would reach him next day.
Mr. Hope and Mr. Menzies arrived in' London
'early next Morning. They are both " young"
Advocates. They are to attend the bar of the.
I House of Commons to-morrow.-

DEFEAT OF THE ROYAL GUARDS.
(From dlr. Universal,; July 8.)
MADRID, JULY 7.

When at the conclusion of our article last
night we said that the violent state of Madrid
could Dot last long, the-battalions of the rebel
Guards-had already formed a plan for fulfilling
our prophecy. They ascribed to weakness the
peace which we left them to enjoy. The'pro-
testations which they made, and the capitulation
which they proposed, were intended to lull us
asleep, and to inspire us with confidence. They
meditated projects of vengeance, and endeavour.
ed to dip, in the blood of their brothers, the
chains they prepared for us. But Heaven has
disconcerted their wicked plans, and the slates
have received the punishment due to their per-
jury. We should wish to relate all the occur-
rences of this day, and to omit nothing which has
characterized the heroic patriotism of our gallant
defenders. But we shall wait till time brings
all the facts to light, and limit ourselves to an
l outline of the transactions of this memorable day.
At three o'clock in the morning the battalions
of the gOard who had encamped in the Prado,
penetrated into the capital, throwing down the
gate of COnde Duque. This plan, as it appears,
was to form themselves into three divisions, one
of which was to attack the park of artillery ;
another to disarm the national militia, which had
encamped,in the square of the Constitution ; and
the third to take possession of the Puerta del
Sol, and to guard the streets which led to it. Of
these projects, the only one they succeeded in
executing was the third, but the occupation of
this post not having rendered them masters of the
two others, was of no service to them, and rather
exposed them to the defeat which they received

n a short time. The battalion destined, to attack

the park of artillery dispersed without any known
motive on hearing the first firing in the street de
la Luna, and the exhortation of their officers was
of no avail to retain the soldiers, who, retreating,
as it appears, by the way they had entered, dis-
persed in disorder by the wood of Moncloa.
Many of them have attempted in the course of
the day to join their companions at the Palace,
and some of them have been killed without at-

taming their object. In this dispersion, the
officer D.' Lewis Mon was taken, who seeing him-
self detained by a peasant, offered 12 pieces of
gold and his watch to be released, but the dis-
interested patriot conducted him to the park of
artillery. It must he confessed, that the division
which attacked the square showed more firmness,
but it encountered enemies, worthy, not only of
contending with it, but with the first soldiers in
Europe. The rebels paid dearly for their audacity,
dying by the hands of the heroic national militia,
at the foot of the guns. They had no other
resource but to retire towards the Palace, strew-
ing the streets the whole day with their dead

The mad presumption of two divisions being
thus punished, nothing remained but to dislodge
that which occupied the Puerta del Sol, the
guard of which had fortified itself in the Casa
de Correos, when it observed the enormous in-
equality of its force. This enterprise succeeded
as desired, and in a short time the Insurgents
threw down their arms, and fled in frightful dis-
order by the streets del Carmen, des Preciados,
and del Arenal, avoiding the death which threa-

tened them from a cannon supported by grena-
diers and sharpshooters, together with a party of
cavalry under the command of Gen. Ballasteros.
In the mean time the loyal guards, who were in
the park of artillery, possessed themselves of the
stables, and fortified themselves in them, so that
the patriotic soldiers occupied all the approaches
to the Palace. While things were in this state,
a deputation from the battalions of the guard
proceeded to the hall of the Cates, where, the
permanent deputation had assembled in company
with certain members of the City Corporations,
declaring that the guards were ready to surren-
der their arms, but that.they should be permit-
ted to do so when they were beyond the precincts
of the Palace. It appears the answer was, that
at the end of four hours the two battalions which
had remained in the Palace should retire with
their arms—the one to Leganes, and the other to
Vicalvaro; and that the battalions of the Prado
who had fled hither should form tents, and should
retire without arms to their destined gnarters.—

Then it was seen that although the contagion
which had spread among the corps of the guards

was great, there were many who joined on 7 com-
pulsion, and by an ill-understood sense of honour,
the party of the seducers ; for many of them hn-
mediately deserted their companions, and repah-
ed to their quarters, shouting for the Constitu-
tion. Others, distrusting, doubtless, the genero-

sity of their conquerors, or- accused hythiiir con-
sciences for past crimes, lied, throwing away
their arms. But some parties of cavalry, the Na-
tional Militia, end some pieces of artillery, pur-
sued, the fugitives on the road to Estrernadura,
and at present there are arriving a great number
of wounded and prisoners.
The most complete tranquillity now reigns in
the capital; and it appears almost impossible that
the gallant men, whose ardour has been, so ex-
cited during the day, viewing the perfidy of their
enemies, should'have been able to recover, in so
short a time after their triumph, that generosity
and composure which are the distinction of these
heroes.
All who have witnessed the attacks of this
morning, agree that never troops of the line
fought with moreorder or more bravery than the
militia. They advanced boldly forward at the
yoke of their chiefs, and without. a discordant
sound; after their triumph they shouted alone
for the constitution, and 1 even heard a militia
man reprove a prisoner for the reproaches which
he uttered- against his seducers. We have not
been able as yet to ascertain how many dead and
wounded there have been in the different encoun-
ters ; but the highest estimate does not make the
nuwer of militia killed to amount to half a
dozen—a loss extremely small, considering the
importance of the victory, but deeply to be de-

plored, when we reflect, that this force is com-
posed of proprietors of land, merchants, respect-
able artisans, and fathers of families, who sacri-
ficed themselves to defend our liberties.
[Thb following account of the same transaction is from th
Imparcial.l
MADRID, JULY 8.
Yesterday morning there was a rumour that
the troops of the Prado were about to make a
movement, which was not stated, but which was
easily conjectured. The Government, in conse-
quence, which doubtless knew the tendency of
this movement, took measures of precaution, and
among others that of sending to St. Antonio de
la Florida, the company of officers of whom we
spoke yesterday. At half past two in the mora-
-1 ing, after some moments of vacillation respecting
what gate they should force, they penetrated into
the capital by those of Condeduque and San
Bernardino, and drew up at the Puerta del Sol
in two columns, of which the one debouched by
the street des Preciados, and the other by that
de la Montero. The guard de Correos fortified
themselves, after having fired some shot, and
those of the Prado formed in,the Puerta del Sol,
covering with their sentinels all the approaches.
There they remained a considerable time with-
out giving any indication of their intention, till
they directed themselves towards the square of
the Constitution, where there was a battalion of
the national militia, a picket of the cavalry del
Principe, and two pieces of artillery. The guards
made their attack on the square by the street des
Boteros, and by that de la Sol ; but finding s
terrible resistance, they were obliged to retreat,
drawing off by the street del Arena!, through
which they directed their march towards the
palace, for the purpose of joining the battalions
on service there. The first signal of alarm was
a shot fired by a peasant in the street of San Ber-
nardo, to which the guard answered by other
shots. This served to put in motion the company
of half-pay officers posted in' the square of St.
Domingo, which fired upon the guards. The
latter made their different attacks in the square
with forces respectively small, and it even ap-
pears that the attack was not simultaneous at all
points : the loss which they sustained, according
to the most authentic reports, was not less than
100 men, of whom between '25 and 80 were
killed. The loss of the militia and the garrison
was very trifling. It is said that the troops which
entered from the Pradodid not include the whole
of those who occupied it. In the agitation which
has prevailed to-day, it is impossible to extend
our account at present • so we shall conclude this
short relation by stating, that if tranquillity is
restored, we shall give the necessary details to-
morrow.

[From the Espectador of July o.]
MADRID, JULY 7.

Our readers will not be surprised that we limit ourselves to'
day to an imperfect account, since, being spectators with arms
in our hands, as we have before mentioned, in defence of the
liberties of our country, we are worn out with glory and fa'

tigue.
Let us enter upon the subject. At about a quarter before 3
this morning, there was heard some firing in the street de
Luna, the result of an encounter with the vanguard of the mu'
tinous battalions, who had encamped on the'Prado, and WO
had by stealth introduced themselves, under the protection or
darkness, into the capital. The battalion of half-pay Off►cers,
Under the command of our companion Don Evarista San Mi'
guel, both in the same street and in that of Fountain del Curs,
exerted themselves so as to introduce confusion into the Guards,
who fled, leaving their muskets, knapsacks, and equipage. At
the same time the square of the Constitution was attacked le
a brisk fire on three points ; but the brave National
the no less brave National Artillery, who, under the command

of the valiant Captains Bayona and Ribera, defended the en-
trances into this square, repulsed the insurgents, who, with the
subversive shouts of " Long live the absolute King," had di-
'rected their attacks upon the square, forcing them to fly preci-
pitately, and in the greatest disorder, leaving their wounded and
dead scattered in the streets.

In the thean time the Commandant-General, Don Pablo
Morino, who happened to be in the park of artillery of San
Gil, was informed of the object of this sudden and unexpected
attack—for sudden and unexpected it must be called—since
nobody thought that the inhabitants of Madrid, its militia,
and troops, could be attacked in so unjust and treache-
rous a manner. In this situation, then, presented him-
self as a prisoner to his Excellency a soldier of the guards, who
said that the above-mentioned battalions from the Prado had
entered Madrid by forcing the gates of San Bernardino and San
Fernando. This intelligence inflamed the mind of his Excel-
lency and of the brave men who stood by him to such a pitch'
that their indignation cannot be expressed. The General, and
all who were under his orders, swore anew to die or to be free,
and at the shout of 44 Long live the Constitution', all prepared
themselves for the conflict. At this moment a Captain D'
Lewis Mon appeared before General Morillo as a prisoner, and
being asked what were the plans of the insurrectionary batta-
lions, this person gave him to understand that they entertalneti
hopes which had been disappointed. While this passed, and
while the Commandant-General saw some of the insurgent
troops arriving by the royal stables, he made preparations that
the battalion of the officers and soldiers of the same guard ivil°
had abandoned their seditious companions after refusing to Pe"
take in their infamous perjury, in order to follow the standard
of their country, should immediately take possession of the
stables to restrain the audacity of the insurgents who had gone
there with the like intent, and with that of attacking the divi.
sion of the park of artillery.
While this was happening, a strong column of the Vert
under the command of their Commandant Very, had placed
themselves in the Puerta del Sol. The brave General I3ell°-
steros, who was in the park of artillery, as soon as he heard the
first firing, obtained permission from the Captain-General to
attack this column, and carrying with him a piece-of artillery
and a battalion of Militia, immediately assaulted it. The co'
lumn, after a short resistance, dispersed, part by the street °
Montera, and part by that de la Arenal, pursued by the casein'
under the command of Brigadier Palleria ; but this last was
crossed by the national Militiaand a cannon which was directed
against the guards.

directions, saw themselves under the necessity of seekin; an

Purpose of putting an end to those horrors and outrages which
the infamous aggression of thi seditious guards had occasioned.
The Marquis- of Casa Sarria, accompained with the com-
mandants of the guards, chiefs of the 'battalions who re-
mained in the palace, and who. had not taken any-decided
part in the insurrection, delivered an answer from his 3Be-

--,Y, confined to a manifestatien of his desire to stop the
effusion of blood, but declaring that it was not consistent with
the dignity of his royal person that his Guards should be dis-
armed, as it appeared to be desired. On this point there arose
a serious and violent discussion, in which the President of the
Deputation of the Cortes, the,Syndical .Procurer, of the Consti-
tutional Junta of Madrid, Don Gabriel Jose Garcia, Lieu-
tetiant-General D. Jose de Zavas; Don Arias Gonsalo de Men-

It has been for some time evident that Spain
was on the eve of a violent convulsion. A n ex-
plosion, which threatened the overthrow of the
Constitutional system, has at length taken place
in the capital itself. In the provinces, in various
quarters, armed bodies, styling themselves the
Soldiers of the Faith, and the vindicators of
royalty, and of the absolute power of the KING,
had previously appeared; and were in more than
one instance successful in encounters with the
constitutional forces. These demonstrations of
the insurrectionary Spirit, and the appearances of
success which attended its ebullitions, probably
contributed, with the presumed ill treatment of
the KING, and perhaps in some degree with the
violent designs and proceedings of the Constitu-
tionalists, to precipitate the Royal Guards, sta-
tioned around the KING'S person at Madrid,
.to revolt, and to attempt the total Subversion
of the new order of things. The revolted batta-
lions of the Guards accordingly penetrated into
the city on the morning of the 7th instant. Their
plan was to form themselves into three divisions,
—one of which was to attack the park of artil-
lery, one to disarm the National Militia, encamp-
ed in the square of the Constitution, and the third
to take possession of the Puerta del Sol, and to

'guard the streets which led to it. The project,
however, was completely defeated. The first
division. dispersed. on hearing the first fire in the
street de la Ltina; but were pursued,and some kill-
ed and many made prisoners. The second, division
attacked the, square with .vigour, but Were rest),
lutely repulsed by the national militia, and
pelted to retire to the palace, strewing the streets
with their dead and wounded in their . retreat.
The third .division succeeded in occupying the
Puerta del Sol ; but
.they were shortly after-
wards dislodged, and, compelled. to, throw down
their arms and tn'attempt.a disordered flight, by
a body of , the Constitutionalists under General
BILLASTEROS. We refer to'our extracts from
the Madrid papers, for the particulars of this
important and alarming affair, and of the
immediate consequences which followed the de-
feat of the Guards. These were, the .expulsion
from the capital even of those
.battalions of
Guards which had not partaken in the revolt, and
the absolute coutroul over the Titus person,
which has of course been obtained by the. Con-
stitutionalists. There•is much reason to fear that
his situation is' far: from being .one of safety.
The Madrid accounts of the :transaction are
remarkable for containing not one expres-
sion of attachment' to the KlNG,—not a single
indication of joy at his having escaped the
perils of the conflict,—not one allusion to
the probable condUct of himself or his Govern-
ment, with respect to the course of treatment
which should be adopted toward_ the vanquished
insurgents. If there had been any feeling of
respect fOr the Crown,: it would have been
natural to have congratulated the Monarch,
as well as the nation, on the failure of an enter-
prise which was directed against the established
systerp of the Government, particularly as the
KING is not accused of having encouraged the at-
tempt. 'lt is evident, therefore, from the contemp-
tuous silence which .is preserved respecting him,
that he is far from being favourably regarded,—
but is looked upon as an enemy with respect
to his intentions, and a cypher with respect to
his power. We earnestly hope that the moderate
part of the Constitutional Party will be able to
preserve the inviolability of the Royal Person,
under these delicate and embarrassing circum-
stances. The. Insurgent Royalists should be con-
sidered, not so much as the partisans of the KING,
as of the Priests and the Inquisition, the furious
advocates for the restoration of which to their for-
mer tyrannous domination, use the King's name, as
they do that of religion, chiefly for the purpose of
forwarding their views. ,Oil the other hand, it is
to be feared that many of the party who now
have the preponderance, affect more admiration for
the Constitution than they really feel ; and yvpuld
gladly seize an opportunity of establishing a re-
public on the destruction of the Monarch, and the
overthrow of the Monarchy: It will require all
the wisdom and firmness of the real friends of
the Constitution, to .protect it from the designs of
its pretended supporters, as well as from the at-
tacks of it° open adversaries. We rejoice that
the desperate attempt of the Guards has been
frustrated. God grant that any other criminal
designs which may be entertained, may prove
equally abortive.

Contrary to all expectation, the important ac-
counts from Spain of the final overthrow of the
Royal Guards has operated directly against the
Spanish Funds ; instead of their having ad-
vanced, they are lower than they left off yester-
day, which, it is supposed, is owing to private
accounts from the frontiers of Spain of the dis-
turbed state of various provinces in the interior,
which are in the greatest state df anarchy.

We received this morning the Paris Papers o
Saturday, from which the following are ex.

racts :

PARIS, JULY 13.—1 t is stated that the bands of Quesada
are dispered, and that the troops in rebellion have been sub-
jected to the legitimate Authorities. It is added, that upwards
of 40,000 men will arrive from all quarters at Madrid to sup-
port the Constitutional Government.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 11.—The negociations of the
Austrian and English Ministers are suspended, on account
of Ramadan. .It is stated, however, that the principalities
will. be immediately evacuated, and the differences with
Russia are considered as terminated. There is no talk, how-
ever, of sending a Commissioner to treat directly with that
power, or of the nomination of Hospodars.
The Porte, it is said, is about to prohibit admission to the
Black Sea, by the Bosphorus, to French, Spanish, Neapolitan,
and Sardinian vessels.
The Capitan Pacha is still at Scio, without doing any thing ;
the report, therefore, of his departure for the Morea appears to
be premature. As the armament of the third expedition is much
accelerated, unfavourable reports are circulated respecting the
fleet of the Capitan Pacha, but they appear to have no foun-
dation.

The Janissaries destined to form part of this maritime expe-
dition, have committed in the mean tune many excesses ; they
have assassinated in the streets a great number of defenceless
Christians. The Porte in vain encleavours to remedy this dis-
order; the irritatibn of these troops is pushed to the highest de-
gree. It is thus essential to the tranquillity' of the capital that
they should be sent off without delay.
At tido there is not one stone left upon another, The houses
have been demolished, and in some instances the children were
buried alive under the ruins. - As to the inhabitants of the
island who were at Constantinople, and whom the Porte had
ordered to remain there, they were all executed, their pro-
perty confiscated, and their shops in the Bazaar emptied of their
contents.

The fate of the Greeks who are here is truly deplorable ;
they keep themselves shut up in their houses, and the Jews,
compassionating them, bring them provisions for money. Two
or three days sometimes pass before these Jews, much tormented
themselves, can appear with provisions to save numerous fami-
lies from death. If a Greek venture to shew himself in the
street, he runs the risk of his life. The other Christians are also
humiliated, and misfortune to him who should attempt to read
a posting-bill; he would lie the victim of his imprudence. All
commerce has ceased. There are only a few shops open at the
Bazaar, and these only,a few hours in the day. Thus the state
of the capital is not more tranquil, and the f'iture gives no bet-
ter hopes. It, is thought that zs soon as the Capitan Pacha
shall have been joined by the third_ expedition, he will at-
tempt to strike a great blow against another island. The con-
sequence will necessarily be the execution of the richest Greeks.
ODEASA, JUNE 18.—We have letters from Constantinople
of the 10th June. Lord Strangford had sent a courier to Jassy,
to convince himself of the evacuation of the Principalities ' • but
it is stated that this courier, after his return, announced that
there was no talk at Jassy of the departure of the troops. It is
added, that Lord Strangford then proceeded in person to the re-
sidence of the Reis Effendi, to request an explanation. The
latter answered, that he was surprised at the delay is the depar-
ture ; but the Ambassador might be assured that the troops
should set out as soon as there was time for it.
P. S. We have received accounts from Constantinople of the
13th.—That capital was still tranquil ; but the Christians were
full of terror. The third naval expedition, consisting of a ship
of the line and eight smaller vessels, was to sail for Chio with

the Janissaxies, who had menaced the safety of Pera some
days before. The Capitan Pacha, after having reinforced the
garrison of the fort of Mytilene, will, it appears, wait the arri.
val of the third squadron before attacking the other islands and
the Morca.

Ifamburgh Papers to the 10th inst. have ar-
rived.—From these it would appear that Baron
STROGONOFF, the late Russian Ambassador to,
the Porte, is in something like disgrace ; for he
has obtained leave of absence for an unlimited
period, and is to proceed to the baths of Carlsbad.
The Russian Imperial Guards were returning to
the capital by three different routes; and the
whole of them are expected to arrive in the ca-
pital by the end of autumn. In Sweden the ap-
proaching meeting of the Diet is looked to with
much anxiety, inasmuch as that country is suf-
fering from what they style, as well as us,
(rather impiously, however), " the calamity of
abundance." In Finland, however, they are
suffering from the opposite cause, and the ac-
counts of the scarcity that prevails there are ex-
tremely distressing. Part of the Norwegian
Debt to Denmark has been paid, and the re-
mainder is expected to be liquidated in a few
weeks. The South German States seem to be
determined, as well as Bavaria, Baden,and some
parts of Switzerland, to carry into effect with the
utmost rigour the prohibitory measures against
the introduction of French produce and manu-
factures. The Prussian Government is said to
have burnt at various times 137,366,000 rix-dol-
lars, paper currency.

NEW ENGLAND COFFEE-HOUSE, JULY
LIVERPOOL, JULY 14.—The Niagara, CLARK,
for New York, grounded last night on Hoyle
Bank, and bilged ; crew and passengers saved.
Lighters and carpenters have gone off to her :
she had eight feet water in her hold this morning.
—Arrived off Holyhead the Philip, TABB, from
Norfolk, -Virginia ; sailed the 15th June. The
following are extracts from the Papers :

(From the Norfolk Paper of the 15th June.]
" BERMUDA.-Bermuda Papers have been re-
ceived to the 24th May. On the night of the
23d a general illumination took place, and a
numerous procession paraded the streets of St.
George's with a full-length effigy of the Ex-
Governor, habited in gorgeous military costume,
which, with all the solemnity becoming the oc-
casion, was escorted to the public square of St.
George's, and there consigned to the flames,
amidst the loud huzzas of an indignant popu-
lace.

[From the Buenos Ayres Papers.]
" TOWNS OF THE MISSIONS.—Letters from
Santa Fe state that in the Towns of the Mis-
sions, in which very few Indians have remained,
a Government has been formed, independent of
the other provinces which encircle them; and at
the head of it is Don FELIx AGUERRE, with the
title of Governor of the Missions, boasting that
it is protected by the Government of Santa Fe ;
whereas Santa Fe, far from thinking of extend-
ing its influence to the territories of others, as has
been the custom of some Governments, is occu-
pied solely with its own, and in placing itself in
circumstances to maintain its peace and friend-
ship with every province, and principally with
those who have stipulated it.
" QUEBEC, JUNE 6:L.—A great number of ves-
sels have arrived since Friday evehing, amount-
ing, to upwards of 50. The whole number ar-
rived, since the opening of the navigation, is 176.
The spirit for emigration, if we may judge from
the arrivals to this date, is not so, strong as it
was."
Yesterday his MAJESTY honoured the Exhi-
bition of Paintings at Somerset House with his
presence. The Duke of ,Yoas visited the KING
yesterday.
It has been discovered to a certainty, that the
French gentleman who called himself M.G ttAvEz,
and who was lost in the ill-fated Albion packet,
off Kinsale, in Ireland, was the celebrated Count
I.,PFEBVIIE DESNOUETTES.
In the course of last week 400,000 ounces of
silver were shipped off, by an eminent house in
the City, 'for St. Petersburgh, in addition to
700,000 ounces dispatched a short time since.
In one of the late tempests a stag was killed
in the Duke of NORFOLK'S park at Arundel.
The workmen have commenced their prepara-
tions on the new road between Brighton and
Shoreham.
ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—We learn that
an Institution for the Encouragement of Music and the Educa-
tion and Maintenance of a certain number of Students ifi that
science, to be called the Royal Academy of Music, has been
established under the patronage of. the KING, and that very
liberal subscriptions have been entered into for its foundation.
The whole is to be conducted by a Committee of Noblemen and
Gentlemen. Dr. CROTCH is appointed the Principal of the
Academy, and the assistance of the most eminent Musical Pro-
fessors for the instruction of the pupils is now obtaining. They
are to be taught Music in all its branches, and it is confident-
ly expected, that by means of this establishment the musical
talents and genius of our own country will be so cultivated and
promoted as to make us in future less dependent on other na-
tions as to this delightful branch of the Fine Arts.

ANECDOTE.—A. member of that shrewd but
highly respectable body, denominated the SOCIETY or
FRIENDS, feeling inclined, after a hard day's journey, to
regale himself with a glass of wine, requested the landlord
of the Inn, wherein he put up for the night, to bring him
a bottle of his best red port, and, to prevent scruples as to mea-
sure, to draw the cork and decant in his presence !—The order
Boniface himself began humediately to obey ; but, the bottle
I happening to burst, and spill the wine, while he was in the
act of drawing the cork, exclaimed, " Curse the bottle
merchant for sending such an unsound bottle !" which
latter circumstance caused the spirit of the shrewd guest
to move him to say, " Friend, do not curse thy bottle-merchant;
it is thy own fault, for if thou wilt he so silly as to cram a
quart of wine into a bottle that will not hold a pint and a half,
thou must expect it to burst ; therefore thou shouldest calmly
put up with the loss thyself, and not abuse thy bottle-mer-

ORATOR HENLEY AND SIR ROBERT WALPOLE.--LJOhII
Henley, known by the appellation of Orator Henley, a dis-
tinction he derived from his practice of giving public lectures
on elocution, as he was indebted for that of " the zany
of the age," (given him by Pope in his Dunciad) to the
acrimony of his writings, was the author of a weekly publication
called " The Hyp Doctor," for which secret service he had a
hundred a year. The origin of " The Hyp Doctor" shews the
peculiar turn of Henley'shumour. Going one morning to Sir R.
peculiar
Walpole, and representing himself as a man who could render
eeat service to the State, adding, by way of hint, that it
would be wise to employ him ; Sir Robert declined the offer
in very polite terms, and Henley left, the room, with a
threat, that "he could wield a pen," On recollection, the'
Mini:ter thought it might be politiC to stop this writer's op-
position by a salary, and calling after him from the top
lr of the stair-case, Hyp ! Doctor !" promised him his
immediately
his support ;, and " The Hyp Doctor," (No. 1.)
made its appearance. Its purpose was to ridicule the argu-
ments of an anti-ministerial paper called " The Criftsman."
