HIS MAJESTY'S BIRTH-DAY.

Yesterday His MAJESTY'S Birth-day was celebrated in
many parts of the Metropolis, notwithstanding the postpone-
ment of the Drawing Room. The entertainments for which
invitations had been issued by the Cabinet Ministers, the
Great Officers of State, and others, took place, with the ex-
ception of that of the Earl of Liverpool, which was postponed
in consequence of the decease of the Duchess of Devonshire, as
well as the absence of the Noble Earl from London occasioned
by indisposition ; and also that of Earl Bathurst, in conse-
quence of the deceaseof the Marquis of Lothian. The Royal
Bargemen dined together in the Kent-road yesterday after-
noon, but in consequence of the- postponement of the Drawing
Room, the usual dinner given by Mr. Vidler, the Mail-coach
Contractor, at his house at Milbank, to the Mail Coachmen
and Guards, does not take place till the 13th of May, to which
[ time the procession is also postponed.

CAPT. L. PARRY'S MATCH.
This l'edestrian started at Whitechapel Church on Tuesday
morning at one o'clock, to go on foot 108 miles in 24 hours,
for one hundred sovereigns. He travelled the first 22 miles to
Ingatestone in three hours, and reached Witham, on the
Ipswich road, 37 miles, at half-past seven o'clock, and break-
fasted off a fowl. He completed half the distance, to and fro,
over three miles of measured ground, towards Colchester, in
eleven hours. He reached Ingatestone, on his return, at a
quarter before eight o'clock, the worse for his journey: He
started with five hours to do 23 miles in, and by astonishing
perseverance, he reached the end of his journey five minutes
within the given time. The task is a great one; but the road
is the best out of London,

The following article is extracted from a
Frankfort Paper of the 26th ult.:—" A Jewish merchant, who
has been settled in England, but who belongs by marriage to
the Jewish community here, was arrested here a few days ago,,
at the instance of several English houses. During his residence
in England he had found means to obtain great credit, especially
among the Manufacturers, whose goods he fowarded to the Con-
tinent, in the capacity of factor, till he at last absconded, leaving
debts to the amount of between three and four hundred thou-
sand florins. His British creditors have sent emissaries after
him, who have traced him to this city, and, as we hear, now
demand that he shall be personally delivered up. There is,
however, the more reason to doubt whether this demand will
be acceded to, as it appears still uncertain whether the debtor
has really employed swindling means to obtain credit, and be-
cause, even in this case, the English are not entitled to appeal
to the right of reciprocity, since it is well known that they pay
no regard to a requisition from a foreign State respecting a cri-
minal of this description, who takes refuge in their islands. '

OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE STREETS.—Yesterday
at the Mansion House the LORD MAroncomplained strongly
of the obstructions caused in the streets by the drivers of carts
and coaches, and ordered the officers to bring before him all
persons so offending within the City.

A Society has been formed in Edinburgh to
aid deserving persons in their endeavours to emigrate andsettle
in New South %Vales and Van.Dieman's Laud.

Captain PAitTRIDGE, of the Military School,
at Norwich, Vermont, has offered to support and
educate at his own expence the Greek boy who
arrived in this country last year, and whose pa-
rents and six brothers were murdered by the
Turks at Scio. The lad is now in Baltimore, but
will come on to this city as soon as the means are
raised.--(American Paper.)

ATTORNEYS' TAX.

Mr. SCARLETT presented a Petition from the Attornics
and. Conveyancers of Newcastle, praying for -the reduction of
the tax on attornies.—Ordered to lie on the table.
TRANSPORTATION ACT.
Mr. PEEL moved the Order of the Day for the second read-
ing of the Transportation Bill. The Hon. Gent. observ-
ed, that its object lras to continue the law, which would other-
wise expire at the end of the Session. He would also state to the
House, that arrangements had been made with the authorities
in New South Wales to render transportation a very different
punishment to that which it had been hitherto considered, by
making distinctions between convicts on their arrival in that
country proportionate to the offences for which they had been
transported, as, at present, transportation was a very unequal
punishment.
Mr. SCARLETT objected to this part of the Bill, as it
vested in the Executive Government a power to alter the sen-
tence of the Judge,'which he thought was a power that it ought
not to be intrusted with.
Mr. PEEL replied, that the (sentence of the Court was no
more than " Transportion beyond seas," without any comment
on it. The present Bill added no additional power to the
crime. Persons like Mr. Connolly, for example, should not
be treated in the same manner with persons of no education ;
and, at all events, there should be some qualification in the
punishment.
SCARLETT explained.
Mr. WILMOT HORTON said, that no convict could be
subject to more punishment than that to which he was already
subjected. Under the late regulations, the severity of trans-
portation would he increased, and persons transported scattered
over the island, from the worst part of New South Wales. The
public should be informed that this subject had received the
minute and deliberate attention of the Government.

lir RAE said, he understoOd that some few years ago
convirts were sent from Bot,.ny Bay to Norfolk Island. Was
that syStem to be revived ?
Mr. WILAIOT HOUTON—Not revived, but placed under
new regulations directed to make transportation .a certain
secondary. punishment.
After a few words from Mr. Alderman WOOD, Mr.. Caivrs,
and Mr. PEEL, the Bill was read a first time, several clauses
were agreed to, the lt eport,was brought up, and ordered to be
received to-morrow.

merit of Seamen for the Navy. The Hon. MembEr remarked,
that the grievance complained of was a violation of the liberty
of the subject, and he sincerely 'hoped, that, in the existing
prospect of a long peace, some means would be set on foot to
supersede the necessity of so odious a practice, either by entOr-
ment or any other plan that might be devised, the present
system was a blot upon the country. Ile would say nothing
further on the subject then, as on the 19th instant he meant to
bring the matter formally before the llouse.
Sir I. COFFIN said, that in early life he had had a deal of
experience in the way of impressment ; his head had been sliced
like a Cheshire cheese while engaged in the service--(laughter);
yet he felt convinced that it was the best mode of manning the
Dia vy, and the sailors thought so too.
The Petition was ordered to be printed. •

RESTORATION OF SCOTCH PEERAGES
A Bill for the restoration of four forfeited Scotch Peerages
having been sent down from the Lords,
Mr. PEEL rose for the purpose of suggesting that the House
should proceed to consider them immediately. He begged to
state to the House, that in the case of the Earl of Marr it was
proposed to dispense with the obligation enforced by the Act of
James 1., which compelled every Peer, within a month after
the restoration of his rights, to' take certain oaths at West-
minster, but by reason of the Earl of Al errs great age and infir-
mities, this was rendered almost imrossible, arid there was
therefore a dispensing clause, which would, he hoped, form no
Obstacle to the passing of the Bill. Ile therefore moved that
the Bill-should be read a first time.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, that it was with great satisfaction
that he seconded the motion of the Right llon.'Gentleman : the
question of the policy of those attainders was not now before the
House, but he was glad that the titles and honours were to be re-
stored to those families. With regard to the Earl of Marr, he
was desirous of expressing the high esteem and veneration that
he entertainer towards that distinguished Nobleman, for the
honour and integrity that regulated his conduct, and he regret-
ted that the infirmities attendant on his old age should have
rendered the dispensing clause necessary.
The bill then passed through all its stages, and Mr. Brog-
den was appointed to reconvey it to the Lords.
London, England, 1824-06-05

[THE TIMES,

Th 4. Catholic Association, through its leading
members, is on the point, it appears, of openly
quarrelling with Mr. Plunkett. The ground of
dispute is not the declaration of the Right Hon.
Gentleman in opposing Mr. Brownlow's motion
cin Friday -last—that the " Catholic Association
rqquired watching ;" which, indeed, may-be true
enough, but which could not have reached Dub-
lin in time for the Monday's papers;—no, is a
letter of Mr. Plunkett's to Mr. Conway, de-
cJining to open any correspondence with the Ca-
tholic Association, or with Mr. Conway, or any
other person, as acting in its name. The chiefs of
this Association had already written, through the
same Mr. Conway, a remonstrance to Mr.
Plunkett, on his refusal to open the Catholic
question during the present session. We have
all along expressed our decided opinion,
that the Catholic cause has owed its most.serious
injuries—the alienation of its friends, and pro-
crastination of its prospects—to the imprudence
or duplicity of some individual Catholics. The
Catholic Body have no right to suspect; and the
Body at large do not suspect, that Mr. Plunkett
is sincere in his desire to promote their emattri.
patio!). No man in England, who understands
the course or bias of public sentiment here, has a
shadow of doubt that the refusal of the Irish
Attorney-General. to importune the Parliament -
with the Catholic question hi the actual posture
of affairs, was on his part an exercise of sound
discretion ; for that any motion in favour of the
Catholics would-have experienced an irresistible'
opposition—would have suffered a signal o.ver.
throw, -and would thus have formed an additloPal.
prcedent for future majorities against that import-
ant measure. Mr. Plunkett judging wisely there-
fore in his delay,,, the Catholic lead6rs judged'
falsely in their attempted precipitation ; or if, us
is more probable, they feigned only to he ignorant
of that which is notorious on this side of the`water
—that the anti-Catholic spirit has gathered new
strength since last year, and that it would have
been therefore a marl provocation of their cue-,
tnies to force the subject into discussion—it only
serves to confirm our former suspicion, that
the agitators of the Catholics frame all their
policy with a view to the defeat of the measure

which they profess to advocate, and consider an
acknowledged grievance more conducive to their
personal importance by being prolonged and de-
claimed upon than it would be if redressed and
forgotten. The Irish Attorney. General would
have been infatuated to recognize a body like the
Association, which just eludes the penal clauses
of an Act of Parliament, but which is in spirit,
and to all practical purposes, an assembly repre-
senting large multitudes of men the most prone
to excitement, the most desperate and lawless
among the subjects of the British monarchy.

[MORNING POST.]

Accounts reached the City yesterday afternoon
of the arrival of the Dove packet from .Tamaica,
which place she left on the 20th April. The
letters by this conveyance state that the Patriot
cause in Peru was not prospering so well as the
friends of the independent cause could wish.—
The Spaniards appear by these accounts to be in
considerable strength, and fears are entertained
for the safety of the capital.

We ulmounced yesterday the arrival of the
Doke of Kent packet from Lisbon. The Gazettes
Which it brought have since reached town. They are
chiefly filled with the Protests of the Foreign
Ambassadors in Portugal against the illegal and
injurious proceedings adopted by the rebel
Prince daring his short usurpation of the Royal
power. These documents are rather of an old
date, as they could not be published as long as
the Infant retained the Sovereign authority
his hands. We are sorry to see it hinted in a
Circtilar issued from the Palace of Bemposta on
the 22d ult. that the King had no disposition
whatever to do any thing in the present crisis, in
favour of Constitutional liberty.—(lbid.)

THE HARVEST.

Mowing has commenced in the-neighbourhoood of Taunton
and the crops are very good.
It is expected that this year's crop of corn will be found
equal to the consumption of the country-
The wheats, which had been partially injured by the late
unaenial Weather; are now rapidly improving. Barley in this
neighbourhood looks very line.—( Woreqster Journal. )
From the state of the hop plantations in Raiford not above
half a crop is anticipated.

CORN 'MADE.

(From the Time:.
It appears from communications we have uetiveti Anita
respectable correspondents on the subject, that a struggle is
now carrying op in the corn trade,—on one side to prevent,
and on die other to procure, the opening of the ports fox the
importation of barley. The great aim of each is, by Wee
and purchases, real or fictitious, to alter the state of the
averages, as they will appear in the returns for the litlC
weeks ending on the 12th instant, by which the itiaportatlOn -
is governed. Of the extent to which the tictitious sales hive
been carried, sonic idea may be formed from the tutexiii.
table; from which it will be seen, that front the 27th of Sop..
tember to the 6th of November, there arrived in the port of
London 26,207 quarters of barley, while the quantity of thy&
same grain returned by the corn-factors to the Inspecnn of
Corn Returns, as having been sold and delivered during the
same period, amounts to 46,231 quarter.. It is thus dai.
monstrated, that 20,92-1 quarters of barley have been•rto
turned in fictitious sales, with a view of opening the ports for
the importation of foreign barley. it is said that some pentane
havegone so far as to forge the names of retpe,:table corn-factors
as parties to the sales in question. The Inspector of Corn tsp.
turns has made a report on these transactions to the Borati of
Trade, anti the:l94lr Is at present under investigation. AS the
parties are now known who have been guilty of these disgma..
f‘ll acts, it is to be hoped they Will be publicly 'expo:tetir, iri

GENTLEMEN,
Return you my most grateful thanks for the
I♦ery flattering reception, and, I believe, I may with truth
pay unprecedented assurances of support I met with during my
canvass on the 10th instant, and three following days.
Serious indisposition in my own family obliges me to post-
pone waiting upon many of the Burgesses, residing at a dis-
tance from Retford, for the present. I shall take the earliest
opportunity of soliciting their suffr-ages in person.

Should I have the hOnoUr to be chosen one of your Represen-

attention to my Parliamentary duties, and to your Interests.
1 have the honour to remain,

THE GREEKS,

We copy the following article from the Britisi
Monitor of yesterday

" The information which we are now about to lay before our
readers may be relied on as perfectly authentic.
The Knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem have
concluded a treaty with the Greek Government, by which they
have obtained the cession of Rhodes, Icegropont, Paros, Anti-
paros, and several other places of less importance, and in
which territory the Knights will establish themselves as a So-
vereivn Power.
The consideration for which the Greeks have made this
important cession, is the sum of 300,000/., which is to be forth-.
with paid to them by the Order.
,L The treaty further stipulates that an offensive and defen-
sive alliance shall he concluded between the Order and the
Greek Government, in defence of Christendom and against the
Ottoman Power.
" The Order, not having the means of immediately raising
so large a sum from its ordinary resources, applied to the
French Government for the restitution of its property in
France, to the amount of 100 millions of francs, consisting of
efinmgeasgt
eladnidtsse,litcb.y,
ment of the Revolution, and which the Bourbon Government
which had been sequestered at the commence-
Order should obtain a seat of Government. The French
the treaties of 1814, to restore. so soon as the
Mi-
nistry, however, not thinking themselves warranted to depart
from the strict terms of the treaty, declined compliance with
the demand until the Knights should have actually established
themselves in their new territory as a Sovereign Power. It is
nevertheless understood, that the measure will be adverted to
in the King of France's speech at the opening of the Legislative
Chambers, and that a Project e Law will be an early period of
the session submitted by the Ministers, for enabling the pro-
perty of the Knights to be given up to them, previous to the
actual establishment of their sovereignty.
under their first disappointment, the Order next applied to
the Emperor of Russia for pecuniary assistance; but his Im-
perial Majesty, not having the command of money which he
could conveniently spare, could only offer his guarantee to the
Greeks for the payment of the stipulated sum of 300,0001. by
the Knights,—an offer which the Greeks, knowing his Imperial
Majesty to be of the Greek Religion like themselves, refused to
accept
" After this, an attempt was made, a few months since, to
negociate a loan for the Knights in this country, on the security
of their domains in France ; but the project was not persisted
in, in consequence of the respectable Merchants in the City who
were to have been the Contractors, being unable to obtain pos-
session of the title deeds and other necessary documents for satis-
fying the Public as to the validity of the security."

EXECUTION.

EDINUURGII, JAN. 29,--Yesterday morning,
John Wilson and Duncan. Fraser were executed at the head
of Libberton's Wynd, for the crime of housebreaking.—
Upon leaving the jail, on Tuesday evening, both the un-
happy culprits evinced the greatest piety and resignation.—
They slept calmly from eleven o'clock till four yesterday
morning ; and then engaged earnestly in devotion. At a quar-
ter before nine the two unhappy young men left the Lock-up-
house, preceded by Bailies Blackwood and Allan, and leaning
upon the arms of the Rev. Walter Tait and Mr. Porteous.—
Upon the scafThld a psalm was sung, anti a prayer offered up
by Mr. Tait ; during which both criminals knelt on the drop ;
Fraser, with a countenance expressive of deep anguish, then
energetically addressed the multitude. Both prayed earnestly
while the executioner was making his preparations, and
shook hands with each other when these were completed.
—Wilson gave the signal ; and for some minutes suffered
severe convulsions, apparently from the noose of the rape
being too large—Fraser died without a struggle. Wilson and
Fraser were incorrigible ; but in consequence of their plea
of guilty, which they could not be induced to retract.
the publiz were not made acquainted with the whole extent of
their guilt. When apprehended with the stolen property in pos-
session, Fraser made a thrust at the officer with a pen-knife,
which the latter warded off with his arm. Wilson was about 28
years of age, and of respectable parentage, who till lately re-
sided in the West Bow. Fraser's parents are both dead.
Upon making inquiry at the Jail as to the manner in which
these young men had conducted themselves, since the period of
their condemnation, we were informed that their department
throughout has been marked with the greatest propriety.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have received by Express the Journal des
Debats, of Saturday, and the Etoile of yester-
day, from which we subjoin extracts :—.The
Journal des Debats, as our Readers will observe,
would only be surprised if the King of ENG-'
LAND'S Speech should acknowledge the indepen-
dence of South. America in "precise and formal
terms," because it is the practice, in the framing
of a Royal communication of this kind, to dn-
ploy "general phrases" only. Indeed, the writer
of the article in the Journal des Debate
very well that it is the preseni intention of
own Cabinet, after Spain shall have been beard
on the question, to follow the example of this
country by a substantial recognition of the nevi
Transatlantic States.

( From the Journal des Debate of Saturday.)

An article in the English Journ►►l TRi; Surf-
of the 28th inst. announces, that the Speech Of
the King of ENGLAND will declare the formai
recognition of the independence of the Spanish
Colonies. It adds that France and Russia
will immediately follow the example of Great
Britain.

We know not what is the policy of the diffe-
rent Courts ; but it will surprise us if the Speech
from the Throne in England shall contain AnY
thing that is formal Lud precise. It is a PO'
liamentary maxim that the Speech ought t 0
consist of nothing but general phrases, which
admit of different parts being taken, accordivg
to events, and to the character of the discussioto
in the Houses of Parliament.
It is still more difficult for us to believe that
the Cabinet of St. James's will pronounce pat.lic►Y

tions of Spain, which, as it seems to us, is at least
entitled to be heard in this question, and before

which can scarcely be received iu Europe before
