MR. BU RK E.

On the removal of Mr. GRATTAN from the
Ministry, in 1765, and the appointment of tilt
Marquis of ROCKINGHAM to the head of the Ca.
binet, the friends of the Noble Marquis consi-
dered that it would be highly advantageous that
he should have always near him a
man acquainted
with political subjects, and accustomed to labo-
rious application. For this purpose Mr. EDMUND
BURKE was selected.
When William Gerard Hamilton (generally
known by the name of Single-speech Hamilton)
went to Ireland as Secretary to the Lord Lieu-
tenant, Mr. Edmund Burke attended Mr. Hamil.
ton as his private Secretary : he was rewarded
for his service with a pension of 3001. a year ;
which, as I have heard, he soon after sold to re-
lieve his immediate necessities.
At the time when Mr. Burke was selected to
be the private Secretary to the Marquis of Rock-
ingham, he was an author in the service of Mr.
Dodsley, the bookseller; he had conducted for
that gentleman the Annual Regiater,a work of con-
siderable reputation and merit, first established in
the year 1758 ; and I believe that it was con-
ducted under the 4 irection of Mr. Burke to a
very late period of his life. The political know.
ledge of Mr. Burke might be considered almost as
an Encyclopledia ; every man who approached
him received instruction from his stores ; and his
failings (for failings hu had) were not visible at
that time ; perhaps they did not then exist ;
perhaps they grew up in the progress of his po-
, litical life. When Mr. Burke entered into thel
service of the Marquis of Rockingham he was
not rich, but the munificent generosity of that
Nobleman immediately placed him in an affluent
situation. Mr. Burke purchased a beautiful villa
at Beaconsfield, which was paid for by the Mar-
quis of Rockingham. When Dr. Johnson, who,
like Mr. Burke, had subsisted by his labours, as
an author, visited his friend at his new purchase,
he could not help exclaiming with the shepherd
in Virgil's Eclogue,
" Non cquidem invijco, miror magis."
But the Marquis of Rockinghaufs liberality was
not confined to the person of Mr. Burke ; he
procured for Mr. William Burke, his Cousin, and
most confidential connexion, the employment of
Under Secretary of State to General Conway;
and he gave to Mr. Edmund 13urke's brother,
Richard Burke, the place of Collector of the
CUSIOIII4 at Grenada. I mention these circum-
stances to show, the Lord Rockingham was fully
entitled to that devoted attachment which Mr.
Edmund Burke ever paid him to the end of tha
Noble Lord's life.

FOR THE SUN.

SPANISH LOAN.

MR. EDlTOR—Permit me to offer, through the
medium of your widely-circulating and very va-
luable Journal, a hope that, in upholding the
cause of Legitimacy, Spain and all Europe will
found that Legitimacy on the rock of good faith.
This, Sir, is a moral epoch, in which the reigning
Sovereigns of Europe have demonstrated their
regard for justice and sound credit. Spain, I
trust, for the interest of morality and civilization,

will not become an exception : she possesses im-
mense resources within herself—her credit above
all things will stimulate her industry ; these,
conjointly, will draw capital to her shores, which
the latter will re-produce a hundred-fold—the
atrocious reports of a Government de facto,
which must, by all the world at the same time,
be held to be a Government de jure, as accre-
dited by the residence of all the Foreign Ambas-
sadors of Europe,--I say, the atrocious reports
require that the Bourbon dynasty, which I firmly
believe at this present is a real blessing to
France, wilt rescue itself from a charge which I
trust is as false as it is foul, and become a similar

blessing to unhappy Spain.
I remain, Sir, yours very respectfully,
NO DEALER IN FOREIGN SECURITIES.

THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.--Previous to the representation
of The Road to Ruin last night,
an apology was
made for the substitution of Mrs. ORG•EIt in the
place of Mrs. HiaLowE, in the part of the
IVidow Warren, the latter being indisposed.—
Mrs. ORGER is much improved, and is now
among the standard favourites of the Public. She
performed the part with great spirit, and this
popular Comedy was altogether well-supported,
and highly applauded.
COTENT-GARDEN.—Mr. SINCLAIR made his
third appearaeee last night, as Prince Orlando,
in The Cabinet, and was received with unabated
applause. He was required to sing The Polacca
thrice, and readily obeyed the general demand.
The recovery of RAYNER enabled him to ap-
pear in the part of Peter, and FAWCETT to re-
sume that of Whimsiculo, which he performed
with great humour. The rest of the Opera was
supported by the usual Performers.and very well
received.

INDIA.

'We have received Calcutta Papers to the sth
June, from which the following are extracts:—
By a letter from Secrore, in Oude, dated the 10th of May
last (says the Indian Gazette), we learn that Mr. Ravenscroft,
of the Civil Service, and lately Collector at Cawnpore, had
been inhumanly murdered on the night of the 7th of May, by
a body of Decoits. Mr. Ravenscroft, some time back, fell
into various embarrassments, upon which it is unnecessary to
dwell more particularly here. It is sufficient to state, that he
quitted the Company's territories, and took up his residence in
Oude. Some six months before, he removed to some other
qnarter with his family, and lived, we understand, in a lowly
hut, at a wild and secluded spot, in a manner any thing but
comfortable ; and which, to those who knew him in happier
circumstances, cannot but afford matter of melancholy refiec
don. On the morning of the 7th of May, a report reached
Secrore, that Mr. Ravenscroft was murdered, and it was
confirmed in the course of.t,he day by the arrival of people
in Secrore cantonmeny, win stated, that they saw the corpse
of the poor gentleman. .It appears, that a party, it is said, of
from sixty to one hundred robbers, surrounded the hut which
formed Mr. Ravenscroft's humble dwelling-place on the night
of the 7th. Mr. R. and all his people, except the Chokeydar,
were in bed. The Decoits cut down the Chokeydar, broke
open the door, and rushed towards Mrs. Ravenscroft's bed.—
The unhappy man was, at the same moment, in the act of
starting out of bed, when he received a spear through the body.
—A dozen or more of the ruffians now came upon him, and he
fell, covered with many wounds, several spears having pass.
cd through his body. Whether it was that the thieves were
too busy in plundering what little property was in the
hut, or whether they deemed it unnecessary to add to the
work of slaughter, we cannot tell; but it seems they offered no
violence to Mrs. Ravenscroft and her infant. The principal
object of the Decoits appears to have been plunder, since they
came with hatchets, purposely to break open the few trunks
and boxes which were in the hut. Three or four of Mr. R.'s
servants were slain in theii master's defence. Mrs. R. was ex-
pected at Secrors, as being the nearest post, and where, no
doubt, she would receive all the attention which her deplorable
situation demanded.

Calcutta Papers have reached us to the3tt

" A dreadful conflagration broke out at the Bagar
pare, which has destroyed above one hundred houses, and pro-
duced the greatest distress. Missy eloth-merchants are WIWI/
ruined, the whole of' their property having been entirely ee-
stroyed by the fire. The natives stood weeping and looting a'•
'the fire;without making any effort to put a stop to the flatlet.
" JUN apoRE, MAY 7.—The weather here is extremely
warm, and has been for some time past. Hot winds have blowr,
with greater violence than for many years, and the heat hasbees
so excessive that no work whatever could be doneuut of doors.
The prospects of the indigo planters, which were so very 10"

If they were resolved to extirpate all tle-
mocracy, why not offer their aid to reduce
again under our power the United States, which
are far more dernocratical than any part Af
South America ? The inhabitants of the United
States naturally formed a reimblic, because they
had no natural seeds of aristoefacy in their commu-
nity—no distinctions of birth,of wealth, or of rank.
The inhabitants of Mexico, who border on them,
possess, on the contrary, all these distinctions;
and the first idea of their revolution was to erect a
throne for one of the Spanish Princes, as Brazil
has erected a throne for the Prince Royal of Por-
tugal. As between Spain and the newly erect-
ed States, her former Colonies, we have main:.
tained a firm and honourable neutrality. We
huve returned her good kir evil. We have not
hastened to become Allies of her Colonies
in the war against the Mother Country, at Spain
did in the war between us and our North Ame-
rican Colonies. To this policy we shall doubt-
less adhere ; and so long as we pursue the 'firm
and honourable path that we have hitherto fol-
lowed, there is little hazard of its involving usin
a war .with the Continent of Earop.

COUNTY MEETINGS.

lIERTS COUNTY MEETING FOR REronat.--The High
Sherift'of Hens; in pursuance of a revisition to him for that
purpose, has appointed Saturday next for holding a meeting of
the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and Freeholders of that county.
" to take into consideration the present state of the House of
Collllllona, anti the necessity for a Reform thereof."
• HANTS.—III ionsequence of the refusal of the High Sheriff
of Hants, to convene It county meeting, Sir Thomas Raring
has offered his so-vices to join four other Magistrates in giving
a legal chaeactcr,to..a county meeting, for the purpose of dis.
cussing the causes of the present agricultural distress, and de-
vising any means of amelioration that may be suggested.

.—A new Blow-pipe has been in-
vented .by Mr. Guaxey,' which includes .the
wonderful properties of at once perfect safety, and
a power equal to at least ten times that of any
other instrument of the kind hitherto in use; To
those who are acquainted - with this subject; it
will be sufficient to say, that Mr. GURNEY'S
.blow-pipe is capable of permitting the use of
a flame. of the mixed gases twelve or fourteen
inchesin length when required—that no known
substatice resists its power—that a platinum wire
a quarter of an inch in diameter melts before
it ahnost immediately ; tobacco-pipes have been
converted into perfectly transparent glass, and a
steel file had a hole burnt thrOug.h it in less than
half a minute. It will be recolleded that the
flame produced by the wmmon condensing blow-
pipe is not more than three-fourths of an inch
long, and that the late Dr. CLA REA:, in using that
instrument, considered it as a complete triumph
d'art to be able to Melt a, platinum wire the size
of a knitting needle. Even this was effected at
imminent risk, several. destructive explosions
havingtakeit-plaCe, and Dr. C. latterly resorted

Frankfort Papers to the 19th ult. reached us
this morning, but they contain no intelligence of
importance. The Emperor of RUSSIA arrived at
Warsaw on the 13th ult., on which occasion the
city was illuminated.

A Lisbon Mail arrived last night with Papers
to the t 4th ult. The Notes of the Allied Powers
on the affairs of Spain had been published, and
excited some sensation, but not any serious appre-
hension of war. Details are given of recent
events in Brazil, but which have previously reached
this country by a less circuitous route. It is
evident from the tone of the journals, that the
hope of recovering Brazil is not abandoned. The
new expedition for Bahia, consisting of between
2,000 and 3,000, was on board transports in the
harbour ; and General Lutz no REGO, who by
order of the Government was to go to Bahia, was
on his way to the capital, where he was expected
to arrive in time to sail with the expedition. In
the Papers received by this packet, we do not
notice any thing to confirm the statement brought
by the Matilda, of disaffection existing among the
troops on board the transports.

PIRACY.—The following Billiwas reported to
the house of Representatives by the Committee on Naval Af-
fairs, on Friday, read the same day, the first, second, and third
time, and sent to the Senate for concurrence.
An ACT authorising an additional naval force for the suppres-
sion of piracy.
Sect. 1. Be it enacted by the senate and House of Represen-
tatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
' That the President of the United States be, and he hereby is,
authorised to purchase or construct a sufficient number of
vessels, in addition to those now employed, of such burthen
and construction' as he may deem necessary,- and to fit, equip,
and man the same for immediate service, for the purpose of
repressing piracy, and of affording effectual protection to the
citizens and commerce of the United States in the Gulf of
Mexico, and the seas and territories adjacent.
Sec. 2.—And be it further enacted, That the sum of IEO,OOO
dollars be appropriatea to meet the expenditure to be incurred
as aforesaid, and paid out of any money in the Treasury, not
otherwise nppropriated.—(ilmericari Paper.)

tioned, and even avowed them to the Juge d'lnstruction, and
before that to the Lieutenant du Roi. Your declaration was
not, therefore, the result of menaces.
Wolfe! (who has played so conspicuous a part) deposed, that
one of the accused, named Por, mentioned that he had spoken
to General Lafayette,—that Lafayette and other distinguished
persons were at the head of the conspiracy. He also stated that
Fournier had told him, that General Foy, Benjamin Constant,
and Lafayette, were at the head of the conspiracy. No direct
assertion, however, is made by any person acquainted with
Gen. Lafayette that he was engaged in the conspiracy.

BnussELs, JAN. 30.—Yesterday ten mercantile expresses
from Paris to Amsterdam, passed through this city between

BAYONNE INTELLEGENCE.

11 lt ONNY, NOV. ti —Our letters from Madrid
'are of the. 2d, and we havo Journals to the 4th. The latter
,-contain no news. The letters speak of the arrival of the Duke
of Angouleme, ahnost twojeastet notwithstanding the Royal
'Decree, rhich orders that he abaft every where be received in
the came manner as the Infants, However, the Royal Volun-
teers went in erowda to do duty about his person, and the
'people, by their atria and buzzes, testified their desire to see
Lim. Ilia Royal Iliglineas was not inclined to show himself,
hut, at the entreaty of the Duke Ottiche, appeared for a
eloorctime. The conduct of the King, with respect to the
Puke, is thought very remarkable, when it is seen that he has
stithorised him to nominate as many Grand Crosses and
itnights of the order of Charles 111. as he shall think fit.
The order for susp'siding the Madrid),
as they are called,
has been published here (ut because the Kin},,,hay-

DUTCH PAPERS.

HAGUE, Nov. the Second Chamber
two projects of law were presented from his Majetty—one for
a loan of 2,200,000 florins, at 4i per cet., for the construction
and speedy termination of the Canal between Maestrich and
lierzogenbosch ; and the other for a similar loan of 1,200,000
florins for completing the " canal between Gorcumsand and
Vienna. The amount to be secured by a mortgage on the pro-
duce of the tolls on the canals.
SMYRNA, OCT. 3.—On the 28th of August, 230 Gree
landed near Cheame, and penetrated about a league into the
country, but being vigorously attacked by the Aga of Alakela,
with 70 men, they were put to flight, and hastened to their ves-
sels : three were -killed and 12 severely wounded. The Turks
did not lose a man. They took it standard, and released a
Turkish woman whom the Greeks were carrying away prisoner.
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 13.—The Amsterdam Courant con.
tains an extremely long report on the hostilities between the
Dutch and some native tribes of Sumatra (the Padries), which
we know from reports of a later date already received, had ter-
minated in the defeat of the Padries and their retreat into the
interior.
The Austrian Government has received permission from the
English Authorities to renew, by means of steamboats, the
ancient communications between the islands and Zara, in Dal-
matia, with Trieste.
It is observed at flamburght that the change in the English
Act of Navigation and Colonial System is very advantageous

THE THEATRES.

DRURY•LANE.—The Play of Rob Roy, found-
ed on one of those Scottish novels which have
been so much admired, and are so deservedly
popular, was represented at this Theatre on Sa-
turday. Mr. MACREADY was the hero of the
piece, and his performance of the part, which has
always been distinguished for truth and vigour,
was not less so on the present occasion. Mr.
LISTON was the Baillie Jarvis, which he, as
usual, rendered very diverting. lie made the
stage wait for him twice, a circumstance extra-
ordinary in him, us he is gererally very attentive
to his duty. Mrs. Burnx was so admirable in
Roy's Wife, that though it was announced as her
first and only appearance in the character,
she will probably be required to repeat it.—
We have not room to notice the other Per-
formers, but we must add that ARCHER and
BaowNE appeared to advantage, particularly
the latter in Dougal, a character essentially dif-
ferent from the Fops in which he has been chiefly
successful. HoRN and Miss POVEY contributed
their musical efforts with good effect.
Covewr-G kRDEN.—The domestic Tragedy of
The Gamester, a play that doubtless has never
been represented without some moral effect, on
Saturday restored Mrs. BARTLEY to the London
Stage. She is a very good actress, and in full
possession of her powers. Her performance of
Mrs. Beverley was characterized by strong feel-
ing, and that maturity of judgment which can
only result from experience founded on good
sense. Mr. YOUNG'S Beverley has usually
been very impressive, and it was not less
so on Saturday. Mr. C. KEMBLE'S Lewson
has always been a performance of prominent ex-
cellence. Mr. COOPER, an actor who has attained
well-merited popularity, was only defective inns.
much as he is chiefly calculated for open, gene.
roes and manly characters, and therefore it is
difficult for him to appear as a subtle and har-
dened villain ; but still he displayed a full con-
ception of the part, and was conspicuous in pro.
ducing the general effect of the play. Miss
FOOTE should have been the Charlotte instead o

MISS BEAUMONT, who is a pleasing actress, but
the part is beyond her reach. Mrs. BARTLEY
was very well received, and all the principal
performers had their due tribute of applause.
