SALLSBURV CRAGS.

. COURT OF SESSION--SECOND- DIVISION,
iprricEns OF STATE V. BARI, OF ItAIIETNOI'OI4.
This long litigated cause, brought at the instance of the pur.
suers against the defender, for having his Lordship interdicted
from quarrying or carrying away the stones from, Salisbury
Crags, was finally decided by the Lords of the Second Divi-
sion? on Tuesday the 24th ult. upon a petition .for the Officers
of State against an Inner House interlocutor, and answers for
the Earl, of Haddington, when their Lordships refusal the
letition for the Officers of State. The above judgment al.
ows the Earl to carry on his operations as heretofore; but,
it is to be hoped, that the Noble and Patriotic Lord will so
use his right of possession of the !loyal domains of llolyrood,
As to spare the farther defacement of this magnificent natural
orn
ament to the metropolis, which not only is the pride of its
citizens, and the astotiiihment of 4trangers, but excited the ad-
miration of the Sovereign himself in his late visit to Scotland.—

A letter dated •Anhterdam,
tions the receipt of accounts from the Ilavannah
up to tbe 22d April. At that time it was known
that 120 ,of 'the vile pirates that infested that
quarter had been taken by the English. The
American squadron continued cruizing in these
waters. The pirate goelette Zaragotana had
been captured by one of the British cruizers.

ancient spring, which for centuries has contri-
buted to the salubrity and refreshment of our
forefathers, has been for some time uselgss, the
pump being out of repair.'" About 20 years since
it was a running spring, as well as its cotetnporary
on Tower-hill. Its present state reflects no
credit on the churchwardens of the parish, who
may be very temperate ent g 1
emen, though pro-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF NINO'S BENCH, JULY 7.
LIABILITY OF THAVIES-INN TO PAY POOR.ILATES.

ALEX. 'FRAZER V. ALDERMEN WOOD AND WAITIDIAN.
Mr. BROUGHAM opened the pleadings by stating, that this'
was an action brought against the two defendants for breaking
and entering a certain close or dwelling-house in Thieves-inn
(laughter)—he meant Thavies-inn.
Mr. GURNEY stated the case for the plaintiff. The ques-
tion in this, case was—" whether the houses in Thavies-inn
were subject to the payment of parish-rates ?" the defendants
having &sawed and levied on the plaintiff, by taking some sil-
ver plat*. It would be found that this, which was a retired
spot, originally occupied by
.students of law, was one of the
most ancient inns of court in Londoh, and, as such, extra.
parochial.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE asked if the trespass was ad-
mitted, and was answered in the affirmative.
The SoticiTon-GENEnaI., for the defendants, said, he
thought some other mode of trying this question might have
been devised, than by dragging these two respectable Alder-
men into this Court, merely because, having been applied to,
they, as matter of course, granted their warrant to the parish
collector to levy for the rate in question.
After a good /deal of verbal and documentary evidence had
been gone through,
The Loan CHIEF Jo STICE said the sole question was,
whether the plaintiff's house was part and parcel ofthis parish,
and observed it was common to all extra-parochial places to be
surrounded by parishes. There are many places whick are
surrounded by one county, and yet considered part and parcel of
another. As far as written evidence could go, it never-appeared
to have been assessed for poor-rates, although the inhabitants
had been compelled to repair the roads. There was not a single
instance of rates being paid for this little place ; and to disturb
that evidence of these houses being extra-parochial would be a
hardship on the inhabitants, who no doubt paid more rent
for their houses on account of being free from poor-rates. It
appeared by the will of John Thavies, that he left so much
to the pariah church of St. Andrew's to pray for the peace of
his own soul and the soul of his wife. In no instance had they
been called on to pay church rates, and this was in consequence
of its having been a place for the residence of apprentices in the
law, Barristers being then termed " Law-prentices." It hail
always been considered as extra-parochial as the other Inns of
Court.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 31. and costs.

PORTUGUESE POLITICS.

-
The Journal des Debuts contains a letter from
Lisbon, which holds out the promise of a Con•
stitution to the Portuguese. It is remarkable
that this piece of intelligeneta should first appear
in a Paris Paper ; not a hintliki the subject has

have received them of Wate considerably later
than that of the French communication—namely,
to the c2l4th ultimo.

LISBON, SEPT. V.
- (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
The greatest tranquillity prevails in this country. It is
a mistake to suppose that in consequence of the late events, We
are to be deprived of a Constitution capable of conciliating the
wishes of the sound part of the nation with the benevolent in-
tendons of the King. His Majesty, in concert with his
tlinis-
ters, who are perfectly agreed among themselves, is daily oc-
cupied on the subject. The delay Which may be experienced
in the promulgation of the Constitution, is a consequence of the
importance of the deliberations of which so delicate a measure
is susceptible, and probably also of the desire to know the issue
of events in Spain, the solution of which is speedly expected.
The negotiation for the loan is going on. The house of limbs-
child has already transmitted here the sum of two millions and
and a half of francs, in piasters, which are placed at the dis-
posal of Mr. David Parish, appointed to treat for the loan with
the Minister of Finance. quite

GREECE.

rF
[Fro the ancais.
IrrnnA, SEPT. 1 m
.—C...extract Courier
of a Private] Letter.)—The
third attempt of the Divan to, subdue Greece fins failed, and since
our restoration we have triumphantly gone through the trials,
both by fire and water. Greece will remain free, and its liberation
has been rendered illustrious, worthy of our glorious ancestors.
The Porte will never succeed in makin us again submit to its
yoke; and we cannot do the Christian-Powers so much injuse
lice as to suppose they will ever unite their efforts to those of
the Mussetmcn to destroy us. it seems to be generally believed
in Europe, and it has been even diplothatically affirmed at Con-
stantinople, that we only continue the war so obstinately be-
cause we expect that there will be a rupture between Russia and
the Porte. To this we reply, that at the commencement of out
struggle we offered up sincere and ardent prayers that a war
might take place between these two Powers. Several circum-
stances have since then made us believe at different times that
our prayers had been heard, but the late events have rendered
the weakness and impotence of the Sublime Porte so manifest,
that the enlightened Greeks, foreseeing future consequences,
begin to look on a war between these two Powers in a different
point of view. Such a war would be undoubtedly a source of
triumph and conquest for the Russians, which would soon
make them much more formidable enemies to the Greeks than
the Turks now are. Our Government, therefore, and our prin-
cipal citizens, are far from expecting any thing advantageous
for Greece from the promises and the exertions of Russia.

INSURRECTION Al' DEMERARA.

[FURTHER PARTICULARS.]
Accounts of a very alarming nature were, re•
ceived on Saturday by the Leeward Islands mail from 'Deme-
rara, of an insurrection having broken out among the slaves
in that colony. There is reason to hope, however, that the
statements, as is very usual in cases of this nature,i have
been much exaggerated. They are contained in letters from
the Island of St. Thomas, and are written on the 2d of
September, the moring the packet sailed, on the arrival of
a vessel from Demerara with the Intelligence. The accounts
are therefore hastily collected, and given in a moment of great
alarm, without time to inquire into their consistency. Accord-
ing to one of the letters, the whole colony was in a state of in-
surrection. Three thousand negroes of the different mitres had
revolted and formed a junction. They commenced proceedings
by confining their employers and their families, and then sent a
message to Governor MullitAY, at Stabroek, demanding eman-
cipation. This was refused, and a second message to the Governor
was then transmitted demanding remission of labour during
three days of the week, but that proposition was also rejected.
A regiment was then dispatched against them, and an engage-
ment took place, in which 300 of the negroes were killed, and
the remainder in consequence were driven farther into the inte-
rior. The insurrection is said to have broken out on the 17th
or 18th of August. It originated in the district called Ma-
hica.—No dispatches, we understand, have been received at
the Colonial-office from Demerara direct, but accounts have
been sent home by Sir HENRY WARM, dated as late as the
25th of August, from Barbadoes, and forwarded after the
packets had sailed from thence, stating only that " a partial
insurrection had taken placeon the 18th and 19th, in one quarter
of Demerara ; that Governor Murray was taking the -most
active means to quell the insurrection ; and that a few lives
only had been lost on the part of the insurgents." The utmost
apprehension exists, however, among the merchants trading
with Demerara, and the next intelligence from thence, as well
as from the West India islands, is expected with much anxiety-

LONDON SESSIONS.

Yesterday the Sessions for the City of London were held be•
fore the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Aldermen Sir Carr Glyn,
C. Smith, Cox, Lucas, and Thompson.
The RECORDER, in his charge to the Grand Jury, said he
regretted to state to them that the Calendar for the ensuing
Sessions was unwivally heavy, and that the number was greater
than he remembered for many years, particularly on the Lon-
don side.
CARELESS Daly'No.—T. Forster, the driver of a Black-
heath coach, was charged with having, on the 20th of May
last, driven a certain coach wilfully and carelessly, so as to in-- ,
filet an injury on the person of a gentleman named Finlayson.
Mr. BOLLAND stated the case, which be said was the first
that had been instituted under a very salutary Act, which had
been passed about two years ago.
The offence being proved, the sentence of the Court was that
the defendant should be imprisoned for three months.

THE KING.

Wixbsou, SErr. 3.—Our Gracious Sovereign has not yet
taken possession of the apartments prepared fur his reception in
the Castle, nor is there yet any certainty as to the day upon,
which that happy event will take place. All is anxiety and
expectation here, and has been for the last week, owing to the
fluctuating reports which every day brings upon the subject. His
Majesty, it is understood, has yielded a reluctant ansen t to the re-
presentations of his physicians, nos to leave the Cottage during
the present fine weather, being unwilling to prolong the suspense
of the town and neighbourhood of Windsor. The preparations
to celebrate this auspicious return to the "olden time," in this
place, are upon a scale of unusual magnitude and liberality. A
subscription, it is said, of nearly five hundred potmds, has been
made to unite the labouring and poor population of the
parish of Windsor in the festivities of the day ; and all hearts
being animated with but one feeling, the greatest activity
exists in making the arrangements. ktable is to be laid in
the open air, extending for one mile under the trees in the Long
Walk, which is to accommodate two thousand five hundred
persons. The Bachelors of Windsor have contributed 50/.,
which has been laid out in fire-works, to be displayed ',from
Bachelor's-acre, where also an ox will be roasted. One indi-
vidual has engaged, to give the whole party in the Long Walk
two glasses of wine each after dinner. The illuminations, also,
in the evening, are expeeted to be unusually brilliant, and the
fete, it is supposed, will be superior to any thing ever done at
this place. A party of 300 citizens is to dine in the Town Hall,
and four Committees have been appointed to make all the ar-
rangements : one ut.dertakes the supply of provisions, another
superintends the fire-works, a third the tables sad canopy
in the Long Walk, whilst a fourth collects the names and aunt-
, bers to be accommodated.

matter. He makes no pretensions to, and does

which prevail in Christian Europe.

[BRITISH /MEM]
Many of the West India Islands seem to be,
deeply agitated by the late discussions in the
British Parliament, and without its doors, in
this country, on the subject of negro slavery ;
and in Jamaica, the greatest of our posses-
sions in the western hemisphere, most violent
resolutions have been passed on the subject. At
one meeting in the parish of St. Anne, in
that Island, those who assembled say—" We con-
sider ourselves justified in calling on Parliament
—on the British nation, to pay us for our posses-
' lions, or leave us at liberty to offer our elle-
" glance where our personal safety can be secured
by the observance of legal enactments." At
another meeting, at Port Royul, the language of
the resolutions is even still more strong and in-
dignant : those who dictated it must, like Bel-
cour, 44 have had the sun vertical at their birth,
" and been swaddled in the hottest glare of his
" meridian beams." They proclaim, " That
44 they spurn with merited contempt and scorn
64 every malicious and calumniating accusation of
46 cruelty and oppression towards their tenantry,
44 who are infinitely more happy than many Eng-
" lish labourers, and whose comforts and protec-
g‘ tion can bear no comparison with the wants
66 and miseries of thousands of free-born men
" in Ireland, whose moral and political deem-
" dation never moves the philanthropical friend
66 of the Negro. We have never yet called on
" the soldiery to fire on the slave, and, but for
‘‘ the deJusion of our enemies, so unfortunate a
44 necessity would never occur." The furious vio-
lence of these Resolutions outruns every thing like
good sense or reason. We will not dwell on the
sophistry by which the sable slave is mildly
called a " tenant ;" but the Resolution forms a
bitter satire on the extended pauperism of Eng-
land, and alludes, in language doubly cutting
because but too true, to the bondage and miseries
of that the Irish peasant. But neither the po-
verty of the labouring classes here, nor their un-
exampled wretchedness in the sister country, can
form a plea for the continued slavery and sufferings
of the African thousands in the western isles.
We allow there is something most alarming in the
present situation of these Colonies, and the spirit
that notoriously prevails in Jamaica and other
places among the negroes themselves; but that this
has arisen from the discussions in Parliament,
founded on the numerous petitions of the Aboli-
tionists throughout England, and on which Mr.
Buxton, in May last, brought forward his motion
for a gradual extinction of slavery, we must ex-
pressly deny.—lt may be that some of the friends
of this great measure have been too enthusiastic,
and suffered their warm zeal to exceed their
judgment, without which, the object they seek,
in place of being a blessing, would prove a san-
guinary curse—svould bring misery to the hapless
negroes themselves, and float the West India
Island with European blood.

AMC SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

The following are extracts of letters received
by the Dutch Mail :
ST. PETEttsaunon, Nov. 26,1821—The mote of the wind
and weather when 1 hail the honour of writing to you by, the
hits
mail, authorised the opinion I then ventured to give, that the
navigation wan closed for the season. A change of wind, how-
ever, opened a channel fur the arrival of a British ship from.
Bourdeaux, which makes the number of British ships arrived
this year 602.—0 n the 10th a great number of foreign ships,
which had put back on the 7th, sailed again with a fair wind;
but I fear they have not made much progress, as we had heaVy
gales train the westward all the night of the 12th, and the what
of yesterday, till 'daylight this morning.
CRONSTADT, Nov. 17.—Yestercluy the wind shifted to the
S. W. and' blew widm uncommon violence; in consequence of
which the water rose, and broke up the ice in every direeciou
and dispersed it. To-day the wind shifted to the N. W. end
blows fresh. Twenty-five ships were seen at anchor, extending
from Cronstadt to near the London Chest, the eastermost
which were nil fiveignere, Two of them are in the tier oar,
an;'. same of the ships below are getting under weigh, it iS iota-
gietel, with the intention of proceeding to sea.
Nov. 19.—We are informed, that between three and fenr
o'clock in the moraine. the ehipti below got under weigh, and
proceeded to see ; but' the weather has been se bad, and the
snow so thick since day4ight, that it is impossible to distinguish
any object at 100 fathoms distance. Writ]; the while of the
night great quantities of ice passed the Island to the westward,
and small bodies are still floating past.
The ships as meneoned in our last are till off, and were seen
by those coining up near liogland. Though the Channel is
full of ice, still as the wind sets it on the south shore, ships
niny come up or proceed downward without much difficulty,
To the eastward or northward the ice hue drifted into a corn-
pact body as far as the eye can reach. • •
Nov E 20.—The frost last night appears to have bound.'
the ice in every direction, and to the westward a compact beat!"
is to he seen extending from the Light-homie to the south shore
consequently we must conclude, as the wind is fresh at Last,
that the ice is fixed.

MR. BELZONI.

(From Me Combritige Chronicle, Dec. 20..)
We are happy in being, able to communicate t*
our readers. some further account of this enter,
prising traveller.--,-Letters have just been received
from him, by a Gentleman of this University,
dated Cape Coast *, Oct.'2o, of which we have
been favoured with the following extracts :
" I write to you, my dear friend, by a tranaport, which it
just sailing for England, and send you a few lines' in haste.'
cannot enter at present into a detail of all the varieui evinia
which brought me to this coast, but reserve them till I.
write you more fully. lam only able now to tell you theft
am gains; to take a northern direction from the kingdomof
Benin,t straight up to Ilaussa.—Benin is situated on the eit;t
'of dila cow, and the route I intend to take is over a tract
of land entirely unknown, so that I hope I shall not
deemed an intruder in the path of Northern :Travellers.—
I shall endeavour to 'give you a full account, if possible,
from Benin, but I fear it will be a long time before you Kai
ceive any of my letters from that quarter. If God please,
I hope to meet the Niger on the east of Baum, previoti4
to
my reaching the capital of that kingdom. I shall not fail to
write to you by the first opportunity of a caravan to the north.
I could not take many notes of what I could observe at this,
place, and I am surprised that so little is known of it in Eng,
land, or indeed of the settlements on this coast. In my voyage
here I fortunately met with an Englsh gentleman, Cap,
tarn of a man of war, a native of Plymouth, who in come,
quence of the death of Sir R. Mandl, has taken the com-
mand of the squadron on this coast as senior officer; he is 'en,
thusiastic in every thing that relates to thecovery, and I feel
myself highly indebted to this gentleman for the kind assist,
ante he has afforded me in the furtherance of my views ;
and it is grateful to me, and I thank God that I have met
with an Englisman, who has in some measure balanced the in-
juries I have sustained from those I will not name to you at
Tam ier. Remember me most kindly to all friends. I shall
write to yoe again us soon as I am able."i
