LONDON,
MONDAY, JUNE 18, 1821.

The intelligence by the Foreign Mails which
arrived since our last, is very important, and will
be found in our preceding columns. The news
respecting the Greeks is -very contradictory,
Some accounts represent YPSILANTI and Thigo'
DORE to be still in their entrenched positions/
the former at Tergowischt and the latter at CO'
trocsiniy while others affirm that the Greeks under.
YPSILANTI have crossed the Danube with 40,000

men.

The Constitution which the King of NAPLES pro'
poses to give to his dominions is briefly stated in 011
article from his capital. Neither Sicily nor his
Continental States are to be allowed a represent'
tive form of Government, but are to be governed.b.T
separate Councils-of State ; that for Naples .101
be presided over hy the KING or the Duk.-e of CY
LABRIA, and the Sicilian Council, by the King.s
Lieutenant or Viceroy.
The accounts from Spain represent that cow'
try to be in a state of great turbuleoce',
and apparently on the eve of a dreadful convoi
sion. A rragon and Catalonia are reported to e
desirous of seceding. from the other provinces 41
Spain, and of forming a separate Governmerit,
and the Spanish Government are aSsembli"
forceS to oppose the execution of this project;:e
If the attempt should be made, it will prove t',e
signal for a general rising of the disaffected tat
Constitutional Government, and involve the wit')
country in the horrors of a civil war.

" ' SMYRNA, MAY 2.—Since the events which
took place in our city on the 12th, 13th, 14th,
and 'lsth of, April, we had a week ago ()the(
alarming scenes, which were caused by false re'
ports circulated by two Turkish• monks, who

were afterwards discovered to be agents of the
rebel Ali Pacha of Joannina, who, in order
to effect a diversion favourable to himself,
had formed the plan to spread alarm in va-
rious parts of the Empire. According to the
report of their Dervises the whole of the
-Nlorea Was in a state of insurrection : Ypsara
a.inct Ydra had also revolted ; they were arming
their vessels and cruizing at the entrance of the
Gulf to stop the Ottoman vessels. After having
thus excited the greatest uneasiness in the minds
of the Turks, they said to them, ' Why do you
delay to take arms ?—Will you have the Greeks
first come and massacre your wives and chil-
dren?' The Magistrates arrested these Dervises,
and thus prevented the ill consequences that
might have arisen from these incitements to tumult.
The Greeks, in order to give'a_proof that they
were fat: from entertaining any such ideas as
were imputed to them, offered to place all their
arms in the hands of the Turkish Authorities,
which was done without difficulty. However,
the Janissaries, roused by the Proclamations of
the Dervises, claimed their ancient privileges,
which they had suffered to fall into disuse. They
demanded, in consequence, to take the city under
their protection, and that they should be com-
manded by their own Officers, which was granted
. them ; so that besides, the Governor's guard we
_lave now that of the Janissaries, which is an ad-
ditional security for our tranquillity. Since all
.'these inhabitants are, in general, persons in
business, to- whom the Greeks owe large sums,
their interest, therefore, requires that the Greeks
should not be massacred, but, on the contrary,
that they should be able to return to their
usual occupations. Another circumstance, which
serves to relieve us from all uneasiness, is, that
the authority is at this moment in the hands of
well-intentioned persons, who act in harmony
with the Consuls of the European Powers. We
Can, therefore, assure our correspondents that
we shall not have any revolt to announce to
them, and that the political existence of this
country will not be compromised."

It can hardly be necessary to remind our
. Countrymen, or the People of all Countries, that
this day is the anniversary of the glorious ATictory
of Waterloo, which rescued Europe from the se-
*verest, most oppressive, and cruellest despotism
that ever appeared among mankind. The wise
SYstern of the immortal PITT was firmly and
Judiciously followed by
,the Government of
this country ; it enabled us to hold out an
example to all the States of Europe, roused
them from timid submission, and at length ef-
fected their deliverance, and restored them to
freedom and independence. This day then, like
the Anniversary of the Birth-day of the illus.
;trious Founder of the System which has been
productive of so much glory to-this Country, and
advantage to the civilized World, should therefore
be a day of universal triumph and rejoicing; but
Britons particularly should
" stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,"
-nd to the end of time

" Be in their flowing cups freshly iremembeed."

AT it is the duty' of a-public Journalist to give
'VI, impartial statement of-different opinions rela-
'" to the interests of the community, we have,

80ected from The British Press and Old Times

that we are as warm advocates for national eco-

rable reduction of the National EXpences consis-
tently with justice and humanity, but as we are
fltrocates for economy on the one:hand, we are
ends to humanity on the other, and therefore

THE BOROUGH OF PETERSFIELD.

[From THE KENTISH GAZETTE.]

" We understand that the decision in the House of Commons
respecting the right of election for this Borough, has given very
general satisfaction, and that it will completely restore the in-
habitants of the town to the enjoyment of their legitimate in-
fluence in the election of their Representatives in Parliament,
which it appears had been usurped upwards of eighty years by
the Lords of the Manor, who have during the whole of that
period either filled the seats themselves or have nominated the
individuals who have been successively returned as the Members
for the Borough. The questions that arose in the course of the in-
vestigation were of the most interesting nature. It seems that a,
strong spirit of opposition to the influence lately predominating
in the Borough has long existed, and that so far back as the
year 1774, Captain Luttrell (now Lord Carhampton) made an
unsuccessful attempt to destroy it. From that period no indi-
vidual was induced again to come forward till 1818, when Na-
thaniel Atcheson; Esq. became a candidate in opposition to
Hylton Jolliffe, Esq. and 6eorge, Canning, Esq. (now Lord
Garvagh), but failed, in obtaining the return. Mr:Atcheson
was a candidate a second time at the General Election in 1820,
when he stood in conjunction with Colonel Camac, of the Ist
Life Guards, but was also unsuccessfui, as well as upon the

petition to the House of Commons against the Members
re-
turned. The 'case lately decided arose out of the determination
upon that petition, but was confined solely to the question re-
specting the right of Election for the Borough. Mr. Atcheson
contended, on behalf of the Town, that the right of voting was
in the burgesses, being the inhabitants, householders, resiants in
the borough, and in the freeholders of lands and houses gene-
rally; without regard to entire antient tenements. Mr. Jol-
life, on the contrary, alledged, that it was only in the free-
holders of lands and houses, being entire burgage tenements.—
The Committee in 1820 declared the right of election to be in
the freeholders of such lands and dwelling houses as were entire
antient tenements ; but the late Committee, which was a Com-
mittee of Appeal appointed under the Grenville Act, have re-
versed that decision, by determining ' That the right of elec-
tion for the Borough of Petersfieid is in the freeholders of lands,
or antient dwelling houses or shambles built upon antient foun-
dations within the said Borough, such lands, dwelling houses,
or shambles not being restricted to entire antient tenements,'
so that lands and houses may now be divided to any extent ih
this Borough. The right of the inhabitants was founded on an
entry on the Journal of the House of Commons of 1658, de-
claring the right of Election to be in" the freeholders together
with the burgesses.' It appears that the burgesses had on that
occasion gone to an election upon a short notice, and surprised
divers fr_;holders,' that is, all the freeholders who were not
resident in the immediate vicinity of the Borough, who were
compelled in consequence to assort their right by a petition to

the House of Commons, whep the House annulled the return
made by the burgesses solely, and declared the right to be
jointly in the freeholders and burgesses. It further appeared
that the returns from the 6th Edward VI. when the Borough
was restored to the privilege of sending Members to Parlia-
ment down to the commencement of the usurpation by the-

Lords of the Manor, were made either in the name of the
Mayor and Burgesses or Mayor and Commonalty, .and were
sealed with their common seal. The Borough first returned
Members in the 35th Edward 1., but all the returns to that
Parliament, it seems, are• lost, and there is no evidence to
shew that Petersfield ever sent Members afterwards, till it was
restored in the 6th Edward VI.

" The Petitioners produced a variety of other evidence, which
consisted principally of some charters in the reigns of Henry 2,
and Richard 1, describing the Burgesses as inhabitants, and of
some deeds and bonds of a later date, to which the Burgesses
were parties. One of the charters was from John Earl of More.
ton (afterwards King John), granting the town a guild of mer-
chants, and the same privileges as were enjoyed by the citizens
of Winchester. Mr. Jolliffc, who was the sole petitioner in op-
position to the inhabitants, rested his case upon a resolution of
the House of Commons in 1727, which was made in conse-
quence of a dispute amongst the Freeholders of the Borough as

to the classes of them entitled to vote, the Lord of the Manor
at that time contending that all persons who had afreehold inte-
rest in the Borough, including the proprietors of split tenements,
and even of incorporeal hereditaments, had a right to vote ; and
the others contending, on the contrary, that only the freeholders
of lands, or ancient dwelling-houses or shambles, or dwelling-
houses or shambles built upon ancient foundations, were legal
voters. He produced some evidence to shew that there were
anciently burgage-tenants in the Borough, but it was of a very
slight description ; •and he produced no evidence to shew that if
there were burgage-tenants, they were, on any occasion what-
ever, in this Borough, designated as " Burgesses." One of the
documents which he produced was a Decree of the Court of Ex-
chequer, dated in the Bth James Ist, and made in a suit be-
tween the Lord of the Manor, who was one of the Auditors of
the Exchequer, and the Mayor and Burgesses of Petersfield,
respecting the Manor and the waste lands, which were awarded
to the plaintiff, but it was remarked that the plaintiff in his Bill
did not in the most distant manner intimate that the defendants
were his tenants, or that they owed him any suit or service,
whilst the pleadings evidently shewed that the Burgesses were
inhabitants of the Borough, which was at that period a place of
considerable wealth and importance, and maintaining upwards
of one thonsand persons by the manufacture of woollen cloths,
and contributing at the public charge of the town forty men to
the King's levies, besides those sent at every man's private cost.
On the other part of his case, as to the freehold right of voting,
he called five or six old persons, who swore positively that en-
tire freeholders only gave a right of voting, and that they had
never heard any right claimed for divided freeholds ; but it
turned out in the progress of, the investigation, that so far from
the right never having been claimed for divided freeholds, the
Lord of the Manor, the person from whom Mr. Jolliffe derives
his title, actually relied upon his split votes in 1727, and
that the great question then in dispute was whether a
divided or split tenement conferred the right of voting. It also
appeared that some of these witnesses had acted as faggots'
for the Lord of the Manor at the late contested elections ; that
one of them had twice been appointed by him Mayor of the
Borough, and had twice been turned_out by process of law ;
and that another was the present Mayors who admitted that the
same legal process which had been enforced against his prede.
cessor was now in prosecution against himself. &nil is the
short outline of this interesting case, of which we regret our
limits prevent our giving a more ample detail ; but we cannot
forbear remarking that the case must be considered highly im-
'portant, not only as the decision has restored the town to the
exercise of its fair influence in the choice of its representatives,
after a long series of usurpation, and when it had been deemed
irretrievably lost ; but as it tends to convince the rational and
respectable part of the community that there is no indisposition
on the part of the House of Commons to protect and uphold the
just privileges of the people when they appear to be infringed
and violated, and that they will never sanction usurpation;how-
ever long it may have existed, or however powerful the influ-
ence of the individual interested in its continuance."
The decision in this case is the more important, as, being
madel3y a Committee of Appeal appointed undq the.Qrenville
Act, it is Unalterable, and finally concludes the Excilrx or
Election for this. Borough,,-EorTos,
