The THIRD.TOUR of DR. SYNTAX in SEARCH of a
WIFE, Vol. HI.
The popularity of these very amusing works,
-which have passed through several editions, has
induced the Publisher to present them in a
brualler size. We noticed the first volume in this
retiuced shape, viz. The First Tour of Dr.
Ttax in search of the Picturesque, some mouths,
ago, .and ,since the publication, the Author tins
Veen removed 'from all human troubles. Ills
naineivas not affixed to his works tinring-hii
but as there is no reason for conoeuling, hut rather
• -fpr'dsclusing it, as the work does honour to his
memory, we may now properly inform our Readers
that the author of the humorous and moral
vo
before us was IVIr. WILLIANt-COMBE, a
uentiematt who, in the earlier part of his life,
•ma.le n distinguished tigure in'thehiglieSt literdry -
and fashionable. circles of .this country. We
gae a brief account of his .character and produc7
tityys immediately after his death. His life was
m Apt' by vicissitudes,- and he had 'ptqmised to
relatf, it to the World, hut no memorial has been
:fottad among his papers. Such, a work would
ha%e been high!), amusing and instructive, but he
has hetineattied' a 'valuable legacy to mankind
in his Dr. ,S Snits, in which there is not .a

ought to he omitted. It was the' invariable
object of the writer in' all his works to render,
aneusetnent aeCesiary to Ortue. 1 t is need.
'less for' us to comment on the work ,hefore
'us,
AS it has obtained the stump of. universal appro.',
bation. We have, therefore, only to add, that
though now presented to the public in a more
' cheap and portable shape, it is by •no means les-

ELECTION OF A POPE.

ROME, SEPT. 7.—The funeral solemnities are
terminated. The people left the Vatican for the Quirinal.
They assembled in crowds near the wall before an inclosed'
Palace, which gave no other indication of containing any in-
habitants except by alight from the pan, in which, after the
scrutiny of the morning and evening, they consume the billets.,
of the voters, when no majority has been obtained by any of
the candidates. The smoke, thus proceedinobrough a funnel,
.
announces to tile multitude that no election has been made.—
On Wednesday evening, at half-after seven o'clock, there was
an expression of joy among the milltitude, which, however,
had no foundation. There was no smoke ; 'the fumist, no
doubt, not having as usual taken the precaution to open the
tonne of the pan, so ;that the signal smoke was consumed_i
within. Hence every one of the spectators concluded that a
new Pope was elected ; and the itnifiatitif; assemblage were
inquiring of each other what had happened, to `which nobody'
could answer; yet, as every one' had made his own election;
in five or six minutes as many names were mentioned.
with equal pertinacity. The next day, as the funnel now
continued to emit smoke, at about an hour: before twelve,
and half an hour before sun set, all these castles' in ahe
air, built by the populace, were dispersed. If. report May be
credited, the Conclave is not drawing to, its close. We are
assured that at the second scrutiny Cardinal Turiozzi had 23
voices out of 39 voters. If he had had- only three more, he
would have been declared Pope. The arrival of Some Cardi-
nals, and of ,others who are expected, will Probably carry the
majority to thirty-four, and there is not sufficient union to ex..
pect a speedy termination.—Tbe usual visit made individually
to each Member of the Sacred College, on the first morning of
holding the Conclave, was august and imposing. The place
where it is held might be compared, in point of extent, to the
Gallery of the Louvre. The • apartments of their Eminences
occupy the first and second stories, which leak through a vast
number of arcades uport the magnificent gardens of the Palace.
The latter are lighted by thousands of flambeaux. A guard of
honour, In scarlet uniform, covered with gold, and fourlacqueys
in splendid liveries, holding torches, stand at 'the exterior door
of each apartment, and made a brilliant appearance. The scene
becomes quite august on the arrival of the Corps Diploma-
tique, the Senate, the Ministers, the Generals, the Roman
Princes, and foreigners, in magnificent costume, at the cell of
each of the Cardinals.

however, in the

Official Bulletin of Count. GULL''
LETiIINOT, that BALGABTEROS was fairly made
prisoner in the field, having been surrounded
by one of It!Eco's battalions. .BALLASTEROS
had drawn up his troops to give RIEDo battle;
, .
but the Constitutional soldiers, throwing. their
schakas in the air, ran to embrace their former
comrades under BALLASTEROS j and it was at
this moment of friendly conjunction on the part
of the two armies, that BALLAtITI:IIOS WIIS' sur-
rounded and taken. After all this, however, tie
are told by the bulletin that two of Micro's

squadrons went over to BALLAsTtaoR, and
that BALLAsTrtos (how he regained his li*
berty as well as his command, after, having
been, a prisoner, does not appear), had
put himself in communication with General
BoNNEm,tiNs, who set off in pursuit of Rico° !
Nothing can be more unintelligible than all this!
We must wait with patience either for the Spa.
nish accounts, or for the occurrence of some event
that may throw a little light upon the subject.
It is still asserted that It moo himself, with
three of his officers, has in his turn been
made prisoner ; but as the fact rests on no
other authority than that of the Intendant
of La Carolina, (and who knows whether
even his signature has not been forged), it
cannot be wondered at, considering the syste.

LAND-TAX COMMISSIONERS.

- - - -
On the question that the Land-tax Commissioners' Bill be
read a second time,
Mr. HUME said a few words, expressive of his wish that
the Treasury should immediately instruct the Commissioners
that none of their clerks should, in future, receive any of the
undue, illegal, and improper fees hitherto taken. Both the
Commissioners and their clerks were liable to prosecution in
every parish where the exaction was made.
Mr. LUSHINOTON made a single remark, which was not
audible; after which the Bill was read a second time.
-MONUMENTS TO EARL ST. VINCENT AND LORD

VISCOUNT DUNCAN.
Mr. HINE took occasion (on the bringing-op.-of the Re-
poli.) to complain of the extortions which still continued to be
practised at Westminster Abbey. He knew an individual,
from the country, who had lately carried his family to view
the monuments in that bUilding, and had been charged in no
less a sum than Bs. for. admission. Such a practice was dis-
graceful to the country, and it had, over and over again, been
reprobated in that House. It was absurd to say that Govern-
ment had no power to interfere in the matter.. Surely the King,
at the head of the Church, might interfere ; and if his Ma-
jesty, had not full power to command, it was hardly probable
that #s recommendation from such a quarter would be neglected.
The House was told of the impossibility of universal admis-
siett'; but lie (Mr. Hume) saw no impossibility. He could
r.et understand why any class of persons should be excluded
from viewing the works which they bad contributed to pay for.
.At all events, if it was necessary to name some admission fee
at every public place, to prevent the intrusion of mere idle in-
-tii-rlcluos, the demand for 'entrance at St. Paul's was confined'
to a few .pence, and why should not. the charge at Weitininster
- Abbey be placed upon the same footing ?'

[MORNING CIIRONICLEj
It is now very generally believed that conspi-
racies are forming in France, and the advance of
the French army into Spain, which will take
place without delay, cannot fail to give energy
and consistency to such designs (of which the
French Government •are fully aware). Many
persons have supposed that such feelings on the
part of the French people would deter the Go-
vernment from invading Spain ; but they are
mistaken. They have determined that mis-
guided GovernMent to hasten their measures
against freedom, from a full assurance on the
part of the Allies of their support ; and we have
every reason to believe that the most powerful
has put its. armies already in march, to support

the Government of France against every attempt
at revolution during the absence of her army in
Spain. There is, therefore, a great chance of a
general war being brought about by this ultra
and impolitic faction. That the French troops
will march within, a week we have no doubt
whatever. in the opinion of the best informed%
however, they will fail ultimately of their
obleet, and be vanquished by natural obstacles
without encounteriog an enemy in the field.—
This reverse Will add to the present feeling of
indignation expressed by more than three-
fourths of the French nation, which in all pro-
bability must destroy the Bourbon Dynasty, and
the hopes of all the Ultras, ands bring forward
the Great Hater of Freedom, with his host of
barbarians, into France, to check this usurpation
against the present Government. Do not let our
readers start at such an opinion with respect to
[tussle, for she is acting a most determined part,
and is pledged and willing to support the French
Government to any length against freedom, and
it would not surprise us were Europe, in a few
weeks, engaged in general war for and against
freedom.—We should not have drawn the atten-
tion of our readers to the Russian politics in this
affair, had we not better grounds than' conjecture
for what we have said.

[From, the Liverpool Courier, Ott. 1.1
We are now in the. midst of all the bustle, and animation,
and enjoyment of our musical festival. Since the latter end of
last Week, the town has been gradually filling with visitors from
different parts of this and the surrounding, counties, as well as
from Wales and the Sister Island. Our streets are crowded
with great numbers of the fair sex, dressed with much elegance
and taste; and groups of beauties every where meet the eye.'
Nor is the attendance of gentlemen inconsiderable, though
they suffer, in point of number, when contrasted with the
crowds of feniale' 'elegance and beauty which gra& our public
walks. Numerous splendid equipages also fill the streets and
diversify the' scene. The respectable lodgings are, we under-
stand, nearly occupied ; and the attendance upon the present
occasion is likely' to be more numerous than at any previous
festival celebrated in this town. - But we must proceed to de-
scribe the entertainments connected with this joyous Occasion,
so far as they have takenplace up'to last evening.

T.AV,B4pI-
- first of the series of entertainments took place on Mon-
clay night, by a ball at.the Wellington.rooms, which were ele-
garitly decorated for the occasion, and illuminated with the
greatest ' brilliancy. The whole arranentents reflected the
highest credit on the taste of the Committee of Managenient.
.The company began tdat.semble about.nine!oickieli; and before
ten the balkoom was crowded to excess by the principal farni-'
liee'orthe toirn and' neighboUrhOol ' When the Whole was as.
semb4d, the scene was fascinating and lovely in the extreme:.
and the chaste yet ale ant dresses of our fair countrywomen ad.
n2ir,ably contrasted wit i their proverbial beauty. Theadancing
commenced at ten o'C ock, with the' fashionable quadrilles in
five sets, and'contintied till near the st-witching time of night."
The gay company then partook of the refreshments which had
been -prepared' for them 'by the'' Conitnittee 'of ' Management.
Dancing was afterwards resuned,.which continued till far into
the Morning, When' the groups' retired' to' ilreain' of the enjoy.
ments of the evening. - A most excellent band was placed in the
orchestra. The tickets' issued tot this splendid ball were li.
spited to 1100, which' were soon dniposed of; many faniUips being
greatly disappointed in pot being able to procure seats.

that with this guarantee Portugal might dispen3e with contract-
•
ing new alliances; but his Britannic Majesty .did nut con-
sider it consistent with the principles of his. existing policy
to make the declaration required, and inconsequence of tteaties
with other Powers, found it impoesible-to give.to Portugal this
new proof of friendship, and to all, the world an instance of his
respect for the natural independence of nations. His Most
Faithful Majesty can not; however, consider; that the commer-

which assert the right to decide, among themselves, as to the
nature and form of the Governments of Europe."

of his Majesty, the British Minister made the following re-

dom all the succour of which it may stand in need, as often as
its independence may be menaced by any other Power in any
manner whatever. This promise, which is only the repetition
of that which England has made under other circumstances
' and at various times, has no relation, and can have none, with
• our political institutions ; its objects being simply to declare
that those institutions have not changed in any manner the re-
I which heretofore existed between the two countries.'

" Skil, Gentlemen, is the ultimatum of Great Britain. All
Europe will see what we have to expect from that Power, in
the great Struggle in which we may be engaged.
" His Majesty's Government, convinced of the dispositions of
the Cabinet or. his Britannic Majesty, In consequence. of this
explanation, so explicit, and of its preceding protestations, will'
allays bear them in mind in whatever measures it may have to
adopt to secure the independetice of the Portuguese name. They
shall be communicated to the sovereign Congress, in proportion
as the negotiations on which they depend may proceed."—

SPIRITS OF HEAVEN.
Spirit of Joy ! 1 will call upon thee!
With thy bounding step and thy radiant smile
Thou shalt teach me thy mirth and revelry ;
For thou canst the care of life beguile.
Yet leave me, alt, leave me ! all gay us thou art,
I love not thy vain and idle folly ;
Thy laughter oppresses the weary heart,
And leaves it to languor and melancholy.
. Spirit of Peace ! descend from the sky,
With thy calm pure look and thy promise of rest ;
And let the beam of thy dove-like eye
Still the throbs of this troubled breast;
Yet, Daughter of Heavin ! thy pinion fold,
%ly restless soul will not bend to thy sway ;
For thy smile, tho' sweet, is strangely cold,
And it chills my,spirit-,Away ! away !
Spirit of Love! obey my voice !
And lead my Steyr to thy fairy bowers,
And let my heart in thy smile rejoice
And crown my brow with thy brightestl
flowers ;
Alt, traitor.! thy roses too swiftly fade,
Too soon the captive shall feel thy chain ;
And many a heart by thy smile betrayed,
Shall sigh for its Ireeclom—but sigh in vain.
Spirit of Hope! from thy bright cloud bend,
No power can thy endless charm destroy ;
If thou wilt ever my steps attend,
My life shall be one bright round of joy.
Angel of Beauty ! thy guardian wing
Shall shield me from every earth-horn sorrow !
I feel not the anguish to-day may bring,
If still thou wilt promise a blissful morrow !

a style that nothing can be collected beyond
the probability that the Ultra Party is far
from united, and that even the Ministry is within
itself agitated by intrigue. The favourable
course of the French Funds might indicate that
there were still more hopes of peace—founded,
perhaps, on the temper of the puhlic mind,
roused as it is by the late proceedings in the
Chamber. The protest of the minority is well
calculated to sound the alarm through France.
In the mean time the preparations are unabated,
and a movement of the invading army is stated to
have taken place, indicative of immediate ope-
rations -
