REVENGE.-The following was communicated.
to the writer, by a friend of JOHN PHiLIr K Ertl-
Bac, as a circumstance which occurred in Wor-
cestershire. Two lads were engaged in rob-
bing an orchard, and afterwards one of thern
impeached the other ; for which his compa-
nion swore bitterly that, one day or other, he
would be revenged. They arrived at the age
•of manhood, when -the injured retired from
business to a county far distant from his native
one. The impeacher had adopted a seafaring life ;
and, at length being shipwrecked, was taken, up.
parently lifeless, to the house of an aged man,
who was bed-ridden ; he did not see his guest,
who lay in the next room to him. While the
sailor was recovering, he recounted to the
maid-servant several incidents of his life, which
were heard by the bed-ridden man in the next
apartment, and, convinced he was the object of
his ancient pique, in the deed of night he rowied
himself sufficiently to crawl on his hands and
knees to the sailor's apartment, and struck him to
the heart with a deadly weapon. The maid-ser-
vant was tried for this murder, convicted, and
had nearly suffered, when the feeling of gratified
revenge became too powerful for the hoary sin-
ner, and he confessed, with delight, he alone was
the murderer.--(Bath Herald.)

_Ex!racts from the Morning Papers, Feb. 14.

PIIESS.]
The Greeks are proceeding, with unabated
-Vigour, in their career of emancipation, and every
'there pressing their ferocious oppressors. Ac-
counts from Syra, to the 2d of January, state
that an expedition had been armed by the gal-
lant Christians against their enemies in ruined
S;cio. The Greek troops, to the number of four
thousand, had landed near the fortress that corn-
;nands the island, and had routed the Turkish
hands who opposed them, and driven them into
the castle, where they were besieged. A squadron
of twelve llydriote and Ipsariot vessels, with
three fire-ships, cruised before the island, so as
to cut off all succour from lite barbarians, who
were inclosed within the fortress, and hopelessly
Iseleagured by the Greek troops. Several of the
principal Sciotes, who escaped the horrible mas-
sacre of 1822, distinguished by their character
and wealth, were at the head of this expe-
dition ; and it is remarkable (the account from
Syra states) that the great number of the pre-
sent advisers and heads of the armament now di-
rected against Scio,and are among those who were
armly opposed to the first ill-combined attempt
of the Samians in 1822 : but the time and cir-
cumstances are altogether different. They also,
hear the principal expellees of the present expe-
dition. A battering train, sufficient to reduce
the fortress in the island, was embarked at Na-
poli de Romania, and had arrived at Scio. Seve-
ral vessels, freighted with ammunition and provi-
sions, bad also sailed from Syra for the same des-
tination. Thus Scio is likely again to be in the
hands of the Greeks, and they will probably
execute a dreadful vengeance and a just reta-
liation on a portion of the sanguinary bar-
barians, who spread murder and destruction
•fhrough that lovely island. Ruins are all round
them, and call up the memory of the dreadful
past. Can they, in the hour of victory, be calm
and self-possessed amid such recollections ?
Should they exterminate the Turkish garrison,
will it be any thing but an act of justice, and
sanctioned by every principle of even civilized
War ? These barbarians, in 1822, spared nei-
ther age nor sex. Can they now hope for mercy
themselves? And, should the Greeks retaliate,
can it be termed wanton and sanguinary atro-
city, when we recollect the unparalleled hor-
rors of hapless Scio, and what its peaceful inha-
bitants endured ?

[NEW TIMES.]
We have received Spanish Papers to the 4th in-
stant, and we call attention to our Private Corry-
spondence from Madrid, which will be found to give
an accurate picture of the state of Spain. The Go.
verntnent has suppressed the Restaurador, a high
Royalist Paper. This step indicates the critical
difficulty of its position. The Restaurador was
patronised by the Clergy, whose influence in
Spain is paramount ; but the Allied Powers feel
that a more moderate policy is essential to the
peace and tranquillity of the Empire ; and there-
fore they appear to have insisted on the suppres-
sion of a Journal which kept alive the exagge-
rated hopes of one party and the alarms of the
other. In order to soften the blow, the prohi-
bition was made general, with the exception only
of the official Journals, or of those which were
merely filled with the details of agriculture, corn.-
merce, &c. Still it is clear that the Government
must have given great dissatisfaction by this
measure to the Royalist party in general ; but
it bad to choose between offending them and re-
sisting the will of all the Allied Powers ; and
this latter alternative it was certainly not strong
enough to adopt. The inhabitants of Barcelona,
it is said, refused to admit the Baron D'Eroles
into their city, from fear of the vengeance he
might be disposed to take on them for their con-
duct during the rebellion. It does not appear
how the matter was , ultimately settled : but
settled it was by the intervention of the French.
Certainly those who are willing to act conform-
ably to the laws henceforward ought not to be
disturbed for their former misconduct; but an
open resistance to the King's Officer in command
of the Province ought on ao account to be tole-
rated. Unqualified submission to the laws is the
first step towards public tranquillity.

[THE TIMES
In answer to a question put last night in the
House of Lords by Lord Grosvenor, Lord Li-
verpool stated that the new appointment of King's
Itemembrancer of the Exchequer was merely
temporary, till the Treasury could agree upon
the best means of carrying into effect the recom-
mendation of the Parliamentary Committees for
the regulation of that office. As the word " ster-
nal," in the language of yowl Ladies, means,
according to Fielding, a duration of a few thys
or hours ; so C 4 temporary," in Ministerial par-
lance, is used to comprehend any given time.
We have a strong suspicion, that but for the
late notice taken of this appointment, " tem-
porary" would have been understood in its
largest and most extended sense. On another
observation made by Lord Liverpool, we are less
inclined to exercise any criticism. lie uses lan-
guage at once explicit and constitutional, when,
on the subject of tread-mill labour, he expresses
his perfect agreement with Lord Lansdown, that
" if the punishment of the tread-mill was applied
‘4 previous to sentence, such application was a
" violation of the letter of the law :" he might
have added, and still more of its spirit. The
House of C6lll/11011S' report of last night presents
no topic worthy of particular remark. Sir James
Mackintosh gave a conditional notice respecting
the South American colonies, similar to the one
given by Lord Lansdown on Monday last.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]

The Skelton has arrived at Portsmouth from
Van Dieman's Land, and from Rio de Janeiro,
bringing letters from the latter place to the sth
December. At that time the city was tranquil,
but confidence had not returned amongst its
inhabitants. It was not then ascertained how

the recent conduct of the Emperor Pedro had
been appreciated at St. Paul's, where the feeling
of the people is known generally to be Republi-
can. There is only one true Legitimate at present
on the whole continent of America, and he pos-
ses the rare talent of being able to unhinge so-
ciety, and to sow distrust in all the transactions
amongst the inhabitants of that part of America
which is blessed by his presence. A report was cur-
rent at Rio, that Riva Aguero, the former Pre-
sident of Peru, had persisted in his opposition
to the Government of Torre Tagle, the new
President, An d that General Bolivar intended to
proceed from Lima on the Bth of October to
Truxillo, to endeavour to settle the existing dif-
ferences by force, if the object could not be
otherwise obtained. This rumour receives some
degree of credit from the following extracts of
two letters from Lima, the one dated on the 21st
of August, which says, " Since my last, the Su-
preme Congress has again re-installed itself—has
declared Riva Aguero, their former President, a
traitor—and elected Torre Tagle in his stead, in
whose name the Government is conducted. It
is reported that Riva Aguero is advancing upon
this capital with troops, but it is not believed he
has sufficient popularity to effect any disturb-
ances," &c. The other letter is dated on the
11th September, and after relating other events,
it proceeds—" the most important news, however,
for parties here is the arrival of Gen. Bolivar in
this city on the Ist instant, which has put an
end to that party spirit and ill-blood that exist-
ed beteen the present Government and the
late President Riva Aggero, for Bolivar's in-
fluence will, no doubt, be the means of imme-
diately turning the forces of Riva Aguero, which
were destined to support his ambitious views,
to a much better account, by sending them
against the common enemy. &c. It therefore ap-
pears that Riva Aguero had not submitted to the
Peruvian Government on the 11th of September,
and there may, in consequence, be some founda-
tion for the report circulated at Rio respecting
Bolivar's march on Truxillo, but at the same time
the latest letters from Buenos Ayres, dated 12th
Nov. do not even hint at any event of this nature,
but on the contrary state that all theaccounts iron,
Peru were, by the latest advices, most satisfacto-
ry and favourable to the cause of independence.
Had any thing unfavourable occurred at Lima in
the beginning of October, it would most probably
have been known at Buenos Ayres on the lnth
of November, and hence the rumour of hostilities
betwixt Bolivar and Riva Aguero has not re-
ceived much credit here this day. Should it
however prove to be well founded, the treason
of this Officer can only for a short period retard
the triumph of independence in Peru.

[MORNING POST.]
Upon the appointment of Air. H. W. Vincent
to the Office of King's Remembrances, we ob-
served an article in The Times of Wednesday
last, of such a character as led us to entertain no
doubt of the falsehoods of the accusations con-
veyed in it, even before we had made inquiry
upon the subject. Of the personal insinuations
by which those accusations were accompanied,
we shall take no other notice than to ex-
press our regret that any Paper having preten-
sions to credit and respectability could give
admission to them. We shall confine ourselves
to a plain and simple refutation of the charge
against the Government. The substance of it
that in defiance or neglect of the intentions and
provisions of the Legislature, the Treasury have
I proceeded to fill up a sinecure office, which upon
the death of the late possessor ought to have been
reformed ; and that, actuated by motives of the
most unworthy partiaroty, they have been guilty
of saddling the public with a Principal and De-
puty in that office, while the Deputy alone,
" Mr. Abel Moysey," would have been fully com-
petent to discharge the duties of it. We have
ascertained that there is not a vestige of truth in
this, nor a shadow of ground for the accusa-
tion. The following are the facts:—Mr. Abel
Moysey had ceased to be Deputy before the
death of Mr. Steele. Mr. Vincent has been
appointed to succeed Mr. Steele without any
Deputy ; he consequently executes the duties
of the employment in person. His appointment
is only provisional, and for the purpose of carry-
ing on the duties of the office (which could not
without the greatest inconvenience to the Court
of Exchequer be suspended) until a new arrange-
ment of it can be made, with the advice and as-
sistance of the Chancellor and Barons of the
Court, to whom letters have for that purpose
been addressed by the Treasury. This ar-
rangement is therefore made for the conve-
nience only of the Public, while an lures.
tigation with a view to a definitive esta-
blishment of the office, in conformity with
the provisions of the Act of Parliament, is
going on ; and so far is it from having been
framed with any view to the interest or ad-
vantage of Mr. Vincent, that no salary is assigned
to him for the discharge of this temporary duty,
and he is directed to carry to the account of the
Public the fees which may be receivable in his
office while he remains in the possession of it.—
The simple statement of these facts renders all
farther comment upon the malignant article of the
Times quite superfluous. We here see a proceed-
ing which has been made the ground of a most
unworthy imputation upon the Treasury, prov-
ing, upon inquiry, to be founded upon a just soli-
citude on the part of Lord Liverpool and the
other Members of that Board, to carry into effect
the intentions of the Legislature in the fullest
manner, and after the most careful and anxious
inquiry as to the best mode of doing it.

[MORNING HERALD.]
The speeches of Mr. Flume and liuskisson re-
specting the restraints of law upon the emigra-
tion of artisans and the export of machinery,
must be read with great interest, particularly
when viewed in conjunction with each other. So
general a coincidence of ideas upon questions
of vast importance, both in principle and prac-
tice, has rarely been observed between parties
who may be regarded—the ono to the other,
as Parliamentary antipodes. This, however, is
but the continuance of a change of ideas,
which has been silently but rapidly progressive

' within a few years. The changes of opinion
and legislation have been so great within a short
period, that they may be called great revolu-
tions in thought. The discussions on bullion,
currency, and exchanges—the theories of the
Bullion Committee and the Reviewers,—if,
indeed, these two latter were not identical,—
are within the knowledge of the present ge-
neration, and at no distant retrospect. What
a mass here of idle investigation and exploded
theory ! Even the much more recent discus-
sions raised for and against the Bill introduced
by Mr. Peel, and which bears his name, when
brought in close comparison with experience and
facts, exhibit a half-ludicrous, half-mournful
example of presumptuous theory and stultified
prediction. The late Member for Portarling•
ton, with all his phiosophicul discipline and his
natural acuteness—the farmsr of Botley, with
his strong sense, sagacity, and intuitive per-
ception of truth in each particular, without
calling in to his aid abstract principles or in-
duction—have both been wide of the mark—the
one in his syllogisms, the other in his predictions.
The Orders in Council, or rather the debates on
them, would furnish also an ample and edifying
field for studying the fallibility of human judg-
ment. His Majesty's Ministers would find them-
selves sadly straitened were they constrained now
to the general principles which they so confidently
delivered then. But the greatest and most import.
ant change, perhaps, is that respecting the Naviga-
tion Laws, which had so long been regarded as the
source of the prosperity and power of the kingdom.
Since this system has been recently broken in
upon, and the principle abandoned, almost un-
observed—or observed only by those immediately
interested—it may be worth while to mention a
late occurrence in Dublin, which is a curious phe-
nomenon in its way. A large portion of the mer-
chants of that city memorialised the Irish Govern-
ment for the removal of certain restrictive Import
Duties which a few years before were regarded as
vital, and essential to the interests of any thieg
like trade in Ireland, and the removal of which
would be treated as ruinous, and even frantic.
'The objects to which Mr. Hume's motion applies
will prove most important additions in this pro-
gressive system of change. And from the recep-
tion of his motion, it appears quite certain that his
views will be mainly carried into effect—that is,
that artisans will be allowed to emigrate freely
—that the Export of English machinery will be
allowed freely, and that the laws against combin-
ation of working artisans will be repealed. It is
not very long since the prosperity—the very ex-
istence of English manufacture, would have been
regarded as depending-, not upon all, but upon
any of these legislative enactments.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Fsß. 13.

The LORD CinEr JUSTICE sat at Prius for the trial
of common jury causes, none of which had the slightest interest.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEE. 13.
SINES v. THE SHERIFF OF SURREY AliD OTHERS.

This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff, Eli-
zabeth E. Simes, against the defendants, to recover 60/., the
value of certain music sold by them under an execution against
the plaintiff's father. It was proved on behalf of the plaintifF,
that she had frequently purchased quantities of music from
various music-sellers, both for ready money and on credit; and
that her name appeared in a conspicuous part of the shop in
'Camberwell, where the execution was levied, as " teacher of
music, and music-seller and publisher." And her mother
swore in the shop was carried on

plaintiff, the father having
no property whatever in the same. This witness, however, on
her cross-examination, admitted that they had been in dis-
tressed circumstances when they were formerly residing at Fir- 1
tree-cottage ; and that upon her return from the Continent,
where she had accompanied her daughter, who went there for
improvement in her profession, she (the mother) had been for
some time living apart from her husband.
It was urged in the defence, that the music in question was
really the property of the father, the daughter's name having
been only used colourably. When the execution was first put
in, it appeared that the plaintiff served the defendants with
notice that the goods distrained were hers, and that if they did
not immediately withdraw the execution from " her house," ,
she would commence an action for trespass against them. The
house, however, turned out to be the father's, and of all the
property distrained, the music alone was now claimed by the
daughter. It had been sold at the auction for 71., although it
