VIENNA, OCT. 23.—According to the most re-
cent accounts from Constantinople, a new Russian
Minister is expected there. The Turks speak
highly in favour of Lord Strangford, as mediator
between Russia and the Porte. lie is reported
to have told the Divan that peace will not be
interrupted, yet nothing is known respecting the
state of the negociations between those two
Powers, though frequent conferences have taken
place on this subject, at m hid' Lord Sit-Ling-
ford is always present. But the prolonged
absence of a Russian Minister, and the inter-
ruption of all commercial relations with Rus-
sia, occasion serious disquietude. However the
Turks have great confidence in their Ministers,
and boast of the resistance they can make against
their enemies, in case of necessity, as well as of
the assistance of England, who, according to them,
will declare war against Russia the moment that
her troops enter the Ottoman territory.
The Divan have adopted a measure of the
highest importance. They have published an
order, prohibiting the Turkish soldiers from
leaving their corps to return to their homes.
This order has been already communicated to
the Asiatic troops encamped near Constantinople,
under the command of ,the Pacha of Broussa,
and at the same time they were informed that
circumstances would not permit of their return-
ing to their country during- the approaching
winter. This measure has produced a great sen-
sation ; for it is evident that the conduct of Hui-
sia alone could render it necessary, as they hold
the Greeks in too great contempt to suppose
that such extraordinary steps should be taken
on their account.

The report of an insurrection in Servia, which
has been some time prevalent at Salonica, occa-
sions greater uneasiness to the Turks than the
revolution in Greece. •

WIDDIN, OCT. 11.—The Pacha here is very
uneasy respecting the fermentation which reigns
in Servia. It is true that' the communication
with Belgrade is not cut off; but it is no less
certain that the towns of Nissa, Cornick, Gia-
cova, Novebazar, and others, are more or less
disposed to revolt. It is affirmed that at Nissa
and Giacova the Turks have been imprisoned,
and assassinated under various pretences.
We have obtained certain intelligence that the
Servians are in communication with the insur-
gents of Moldavia and Walachia, and more parti-
cularly with those of Macedonia. Our Pacha has
communicated these circumstances to the Pachas
of Sophia and Belgrade ; and Tartars have been
sent into Servia to ascertain the real feeling of
the inhabitants, and to demand hostages from
them. It is not probable that they will succeed
in their mission.

It is reported, on the authority of letters from
Constantinople, that hostilities between Russia
and the Porte will commence in the spring. If
mar takes place, the Servians will in all probabi-
lity rise against us.
lIERMANSTA DT, OCT. 21.-The Pachas of Asia
have received orders to raise the greatest possible
number of troops, and to place them at the dis-
posal of the Porte.
There is a talk of an army being formed on
the frontiers of Persia, because the Schah of
Persia has rejected the propositions of the Porte.
It is however generally believed that affairs with
Persia will be arranged. The Grand Signior
will not listen to any demands respecting rights,
much less regarding concessions, and he is deter-
mined to place himself at the head of his
troops, in case of a war with Russia. All
these measures prove, that much hope of preserv-

ing peace is not criteftained at Constantiaople ;
hut the negociations are continued,and not broken
off, and the last accounts from that capital state,
that the Porte has acceded to the propositions of
Russia, so that it is probable war ill 3-et be
averted.

SEMLIN, OCT. 14.—According to letters from
Seres, in Macedonia, of the sth of October, the
new Pacha of Salonica has made an unsuccessful
attack against the strong positions of the Greeks
on Mount Athos, and near Cassandra. He was
repulsed with the loss of about s,ooomen. Most
of the Asiatic troops deserted after the battle,
and are dispersed throughout the province in
plundering parties. The hatti-scherlif of the
Sultan, for the general arming of the Mussul-
mans, which was suspended at Constantinople,
has been rigorously enforced in the provinces,
and the Turks are every where flying to arms.

FRANKFORT, OCT. 26.—The favourable recep-
tion given to Baron de Strogonoff by the Empe-
ror Alexander, who has conferred on him the
Order of St. Vladimir, has caused an agreeable
sensation at Odessa. They maintain in this town
that the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh has declined
the mediation of the other Powers, and even the
proposition of a Congress. A copy of the pre-
tended letter of Count Nesselrode to the Prince
de Metternich on this subject is circulated at
Odessa, and read with avidity, because it con-
cords with the general opinion of the Russians.
A short time before the departure of the Prince
de Metternich from Vienna for Hanover, a cou-
rier was sent by the Austrian Cabinet with dis-
patches to its Minister at Petersburgh ; and an
hour afterwards the Russian Ambassador dis-
patched another courier to the same destination.
We have this day received accounts of the
surrender of Tripolizza to the Greeks by capi-
tulation on the 27th of September. This is an
important advantage for the Greeks, as it gives
them, the possession of the most considerable for-
tress in the Morea. It is stated that the Turkish
garrison has been embarked, in order to be trans-
ported into Asia.
BERLIN, OCT. 26.—The Austrian Cabinet not
having been able to induce Russia to consent to
a general Congress, it seems that the Ministers
who have already assembled at Carlsbad have
agreed to meet at Hanover. These Ministers will
be chiefly employed on the three following ob-
jects, viz. Ist, the pacification of Turkey ; 2d,
the application of a like system to the different
states of Germany ; and 3d, the remedy to be
applied to the anomaly of several States of the
South.

Relative to the first object, it is asserted that
Austria has at length restored harmony between
the Cabinets of St. James and St. Petersburgh,
and that the latter has promised to undertake
nothing in future against Turkey, without the
previous consent of te other Cabinets.

- The German powers of the first order are
very anxious respecting the second object. They
wish that the powers of the second order,
inasmuch as they do not require such a strong
action to maintain order in their States, should
not consider themselves empowered to give a
more extended liberty on certain points, such as
the liberty of the press, than is allowed in the
great States.
Nothing has transpired with respect to the
third object—the settlement of the monarchical
principle. It is thought that these Ministers
will confine themselves to the proposition of com-
mon measures, to be carried into effect by all
the Powers, in order to strengthen the political
system it is intended to establish.
MADRID, OCT. 23.—The sittings of the Cortes
up to the 21st have been dedicated to the dis-
cussion of the proposed Civil Code and Territo-
rial division. The latter measure, it is sup-
posed, will be finally settled to-morrow or the
next day.
The Bishop of Ceuta has been denounced, for
preaching against the present Government.

The Junta of Health at Murcia, having received
intelligence that the yellow fever had manifested
itself at Aguilas, have established a cordon
round that town.

It was reported 'that this disorder had appeared
at Seville, in the quarter of Triana ; but an
Order of the Day of the lt2th instant, published
by the Political Chief, contradicts the report.
The Minister of War has published, in the
Universel, an answer to the complaints alleged
against him by General Riego. Another place
of detention has been assigned to this General,
on account of the pestilential disorder. This at-
tention on the part of the Government has given
great satisfaction to Riego.
The Government has printed a list of all the
Officers of Infantry and Cavalry composing the
Army.
. Don Francisco cie Vanegas has been appointed
Captain-General of Cadiz, which office he will
unite with that of Political Chief. This news
occupies greatly the public attention, as the com-
mand is of the utmost importance at a moment
when most extraordinary reports are in circula-
tion respecting the designs of the inhabitants of
that town.

By the arrival of a vessel from the Cape of
Good Hope, accounts have been received, stat-
ing that tne Colony was in a very happy and
flourishing condition, and the best understanding
prevailed among the members of it, and the Calfres.
So much had harmony been restored, that a benefi-
cial trade to a considerable extent was carried on
between Albany and the savages. Sir R. S. Don-
kin, the acting Governor of the Cape, had spared
no exertions to facilitate this friendly intercourse ;
and at his suggestion, and through his interposi-
tion, the annual fair, existing before the hostili-
ties which broke out in 1818, has been restored
on the banks of the K. eeskahamma river. Here
the Caffres purchase the various colonial articles
of which they may be in want, and the amicable
relations, by the mutual necessities of both par-
ties, will be confirmed and cemented. The Cape
Town Gazette, of the 21st July, contains a Pro-
clamation from Sir R. S. Donkin, regulating the
manner in which the fair shall be conducted. It
seems that Gaika, the Caffre Chief, was very in-
strumental in the revival of this fair.

LITERARY. AND SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE.

[FROM VARIOUS SOURCES.]

(No. XXIV.)
ITALIAN LcrattATuttE.—Professor Barbieri, of
Milan, who has already distinguished himself as
a writer for the Stage, is now employed in pub-
lishing a selection of the best modern dramas of
Italy, and translations from the most celebrated
theatrical productions of Germany and other
countries. A 12mo. volume, generally contain-
ing three pieces, appears monthly ; in the first
are translations of Delavigne's Vepres
Sicilien-
nes, Kotzebue's Count Benjowsky, and a Co-
medy, from the pen of the Editor himself, en-
titled 11 Terno al Lotto. In the higher depart-
ments of science and philosophy many produc-
tions have appeared that chew the Italians to
have shaken off that apathy and torpidity which
have hitherto prevented the South of Europe from
attaining the rank enjoyed by its Northern rivals.
II Catechism° Agrario, by Caro Pollini, Member
of the Veronese Society for the promotion of
agriculture and trade, although a small volume,
is one of considerable interest. The writer treats
in a plain and perspicuous manner of whatever is
necessary to be known by the husbandman, and
has been very favourably mentioned. lie has,
however, little that can he termed original, most
of what he says having already been communi-
cated to the public by Re, and other Italian Au-
thors on agricultural topics. The Collezione dei
Classici Italiani, publishing at Pavia, proves by
the success which it has received that, attached
as they are to the lighter and more elegant arts,
the Italians do not neglect the more abstruse
branches of science, nor are they averse to stu-
dies which, from their dryness and speculative
nature, present so little to captivate the imagina-
tion or to allure any but those who are decidedly
reflecting. In this respect, therefore, Italy may
be allowed to be not at all less active than her
neighbours. Among the works already given in
this collection is a translation of pant's Critic of
Pure Reason. Signora Luna Folliero, of Naples,
a Lady who addressed an elegant patriotic Ode
to her countrymen, delineating, in powerful lan-
guage and glowing colours, the advantages of the
" New Constitution," has written a treatise on the
physical and moral education of females. Salvadore
Fabbrichard, manager of the Teatro Fiorentino
in the same city, has offered a prize of 200 ducats
for the best comedy or tragedy that shall be sent
in the course of the present year. A collection
of poems by Mali, published at Naples under
the title of Poesie di un Amico degli Uomini, &c.
breathes a warm patriotic spirit indulging in lofty
anticipations of freedom, but his hopes and his
prophecies have since been frustrated. In many
places the Author speaks in high terms of com-
mendation of several men of rank, who, like him-
self, prefer the independence of their country to
the privileges annexed to a nobility depressing to
the community in vneral, and hostile to its
interests. La Storia della Filosqfia Greco, by
Dr. Sacchi of Pavia, is a work of considerable
interest and information, in which the Author
displays great erudition, and throws considerable
light upon a difficult subject. There are four
volumes now published ; the first contains the
History of the lonic and Pythagorean Schools,
the second that of the Italic, the third of the
Eleatic, and the fourth, an account of the Hera-
clitic and Sophistic sects. Professor Ressi of Pavia
has published a work on political economy, entitled
Dell Economia della ,specie Humana, in which he
expounds, very perspicuously, the theories of
Quesnay, Smith, Stuart, and Ortes ; and adduces
the various opinions of Malthus, Ilerrenschward,
Lauderdale, Lismoridi, and Lichtenstein. An-
other work relating to the philosophy of politics
and government is Sall' Administra:ione della
Giustizia Penale ne' Governi Coslituzionali
1821, on the administration of Penal Justice in
Constitutional Governments. The Author, Fran-
cesco de Marco, inquires into the real principles
of penal justice, and in explaining the nature of
constitutional government, he deduces the neces-
sity of trial by Jury, pointing out, at the same
time, the various forms which modern nations
have given to this method of trial. This work
will be found to display an intimate acquaintance
with modern juridical knowledge. The Neapo-
litan press has also ushered forth to the world a
project for a system of universal public instruc-
tion. Saggio d'lstruzione Universals e Publica,
by Nicole Corelli, Professor of Chemistry. This
publication, which was dedicated, to the National
Parliament, owed its birth to certain appearances
in the political horizon that promised the dawn of
a brighter era, but which have since passed away.
Besides the general views which he here takes
of the subject, the author proposes the establish-
of a Committee of Jurors, whose object should
be the improvement of all Arts and Sciences.
Under the title of Memoire Storiche, &c. we are
presented with a biography of Count Vincenzo
Dandolo, and an account of his various works.
Compagnoni, the author and intimate friend of
Dandolo, exhibits his merits in chemical know-
ledge, and the testimonies which foreigners have
paid to his acquisitions and labours in this branch
of Science.

THE ALABASTER SARCOPHAGUS.—On Friday,
September 28th, the celebrated Alabaster Sar-
cophagus which lately arrived from Alexandria
was uncased and deposited in the British Mu-
seum. It is for the present in one of the apart-
ments not open to the public, where probably it
will lie until a place is prepared for it in the
Egyptian Gallery. This antique is certainly a
very extraordinary and admirable specimen of the
arts of Egypt. The Sarcophagus is nine feet
long and about four feet high, apparently of a
single piece, and that of a very fine alabaster. It
is shaped like a modern coffin, and is more than
large enough to hold the mummy with all its en-
velopes, which is presumed to have been de-
posited within this costly repository. But its
chief value is in the innumerable hieroglyphics,
which cover the sides, interior, and exterior,
from top to bottom. They are small : the hu-
man figures, of which there are long processions in
various circumstances and attitudes, erect, link-
ed together, towing galleys, bending as if in wor-
ship, &c. are from an inch to an inch and a half
high. Between those are compartments of sym-
bols, the eye, the ibis, the lotus, &c. The sei-

pent occurs frequently, and in some liistantes of
considerable size and with much exactness of
detail. This noble work is supposed to be the
coffin of Psammis. Conjecture, however, has an
extensive range in Egyptian
.antiquity, and some
probabilities -have been suggested in favour of its
being no tomb, but a temple—a small shrine,
imitative of the o►iginal Clutha or great Dilu-
vian vessel to which so many of the Indian em-
blems refer. The ark seems to have formed a
vast source of Pagan allegoric sculpture. The
pecuniary value of this Sarcophagus has been es-
timated at a very, large sum. It was the pro-
perty of Mr. Salt, the British Consul, and was,
we understand, the subject of competition by the
agents of some Foreign Powers.
CARNATION.—There is at present to be seen
in the garden of Mr. Miller, at the. Abbey,
Edinburgh, what is conceived to be a.Very great
curiosity. In the bed of carnations there is one
root, a stalk from which has prOdaced one car-
nation half red and half a flesh colour; another
wholly a flesh colour spotted with red, and the
third a dark red.

TOADS.-ft has been generally considered, on
the authority of Mr. Pennant, that toads live on
insects and worms; but it appears, from un-
doubted authority, that they also destroy mice.
A gentleman residing at Keswick has published
a letter in the " Sporting Magazine," in which he
says, that one evening in the latter end of July
last, he observed a rustling in a strawberry-bed
in his garden, and found that a toad had just
seized a field mouse, which had got on the toad's
back, scratching and biting to get released, but in
vain. The toad kept his hold, and as the strength
of the mouse failed, gradually drew the unfortu-
nate little animal into his mouth, and gorged him.
SToATs.---Another correspondent, in the same
Magazine, relates a wonderful instance of the
voracity of stoats. Some workmen, on removing
a pile of faggots near a coppice, where it had
lain about live months, found 63 rabbit skins,
and 25 hare skins; all perfectly whole, besides
fragments of skins ; on removing a few more
bundles, they found six stoats, four of which
they killed ; the other two escaped. It is gene-
rally thought that stoats merely suck the blood
of these animals, but this fact proves that the
opinion is erroneous.

ANTIQUE BOATS.—About two months ago,
two oak canoes, each 21 feet in length, and ex-
cavated from the tree, were found in Longhis-
land Davey, near Castlewellan. The right side
of the one, and the left side of the other, were
convex in form; the opposite sides were perfectly
straight, so that the two could have been joined
together. Some curious implements of war were
found in these canoes. The timber of the vessels
was perfectly sound, and the whole in a high
state of preservation.
DENINIARK.—A literary discussion respecting
the merits of northern and classical mythology
has lately excited much attention. Baden con-
tinues to attack the system of northern mytho-
logy, and has himself been attacked in return by
his opponents, the advocates for it; among whom
are Professor Flinn, Magnusen, and others who
accuse him of not comprehending the spirit
of the mythology which he labours to ex-
plode. lle.has, however, the artists, Eckersberg
and Boyer on his side. On the other hand, the
three greatest Poets of Denmark, men of indis-
putable genius, and perfectly indigenous in their
taste, have given authority to the anti-classic
party, and have borrowed most freely from the
stores of the Edda. So far as this is done with
discretion it is commendable, but exclusive sys-
tems of taste are desirable neilher in literature
nor in art.

Zoor.ocr.—Dr. Paolo Sawi, assistant to the
professor of Botany in the University of Pisa,
has discovered in different places in the Tuscan
Apennines, a new species of salamander, remark-
able for its figure and colours. He has named it
Salamandra perspicillata qainque palmis plantisque
tetradactNlis. It has a spot on the top of the
head, in shape like like a pair of spectacles, and
also four toes on each foot, instead of three, like
the common salamander.

0 PTICS.-M. Amici, professor of Mathematics
in the University of Modena, has invented an
optical apparatus, by which every kind of object,
solid or liquid, transparent or opaque, may be
viewed, without the necessity of dividing it into
parts. This instrument has been called the Mi-
croscope Catadroptrique, and is formed of an hori-
zontal tube like a telescope. The eye is directed
in the same manner, and not downwards, as in
common microscopes. At one of the extremities
of the tube is a combination of metallic mirrors,
on which the reflection is made through a small
opening contrived under the tube, and corre-
sponding perpendicularly to the glass that carries
the object, which is moved' up and down by a
screw, under -which a mirror is also placed, as in
all common microscopes. The different degrees
of diminution or enlargement are obtained by
changing the eye glasses only, by which means
an object is passed through every degree of en-
largement very quickly, and still kept within the
field of vision. With this microscope, any thing
plunged half an inch in a liquid, may be viewed
distinctly, a thing impossible in other micro-
scopes. M. Amici has also contrived an appa-
ratus attached to the instrument, by which all
the objects seen may be accurately measured.

NESir SPECIES OF CLovErt.—The Professor of
Agriculture and Botany in the University of
Modena strongly recommends a species of clover
that has not hitherto been cultivated in this coun-
try, namely, the Trifoliam Incarnatum, or Crim-
son Clover. lie recommends this plant as the
earliest of trefoils ; as the most useful for in-
creasing forage ; as requiring only one ploughing
and harrowing to cover the seed ; as peculiarly
calculated for dry soils, even gravels; and as
preferring the mountain to the plain. It is so
hardy that it may be sown even in autumn, and
it stands well severe frost. If sown in spring, it
will yield a good crop that year. Some experi-
ments have been tried with this plant in Ber-
wickshire, which in a great measure justify what
has been urged in its favour. It would be of
very gr( at importance if this species of clover
would answer where the land will not produce
the common red sort, from its having been so
frequently repeated.

WEDNESDAY,-NOVEMBER 7, IS2I.

Lord LONDONDERRY arrived yesterday at Will'
mer Castle, and is expected at North Cray this

evening.

We-received this morning French Papers to
Sunday last inclusive, from which we give
extracts under the usual head of Foreign In'
telligence. They will be read with great
interest. Our readers Ivill see it is confirm'
ed that the Turkish troops arc to be kept
embodied during the winter,—an extraordi'
nary measure, which is justly attributed to
apprehensions of Russia,—that the Servian
surrection has excited the greatest inquietude
among the Turks,—and that the Persians ►►re
resolved to push the war which they have under'
taken against the Ottoman Empire with, vigo►►r•
The tenor of the articles from various
parts of Germany and Turkey is decid'
edly warlike ; and what is very remarkable,
it is stated in letters from Senes, in Macedu'
nia, received at Semlin, in Hungary, that ti e

Hatti-Scheriff of the SULTAN, which was sas"
pended at Constantinople, through the influence
of Lord STRANGFORD, bas been proclaimed
throughout the Turkish provinces, and that the
Mussulmans are flying to arms in all quarters. It
would hence appear that the expectation of main'
taining peace is not very sanguine on the part of
the Ottoman Government.—A private letter fr'oa►
Zante, dated the 28th September, mentions that
the efforts of the Turks to relieve Patras have bee°
unsuccessful, and that they were repulsed with
great loss. The Asiatic troops are represented to
be not calculated to carry on a war in a countri
which differ's materially in local aspects from the
even plains of Asia. The fortress of Lepanto
is still blockaded and threatened with an as•
sault by Macrys, one of the Etolian Chiefs. The
country between the Isthmus of Corinth and the
pass of Thermopylce. is in the entire pOsses-
sion of the Greeks, since the defeat of the
Paella of DEr.viNo. Thessalia and Macedonia are
in like manner in the full possession of the
Greeks, in which countries they occupy' veil
strong positions which are the keys of Epirus'
A bloody battle took place on the 9th of Sep'
tember, between the Greeks and the Turks under
the command of • the Pacha of Salonica,
which the latter were defeated with an immense
loss. Among the prisoners are four Beys.

New York Papers arrived this morning, one
day later, I.4th October.

The Dutch brig of war ilicrcurg, of 13 s,runh
which sailed from Curacoa on the 18th Septa
bound to Laguira and Porto CaveHo, was strucl'
with lightning the same night, which carried
away the main-mast, and rendered her uarll3‘
nageable. She was run ashore near the FenYlle

Plantation, where she was entirely lost, ill a
heavy storm. Shortly after the lightning strtici`
the Mercury she was discovered to be on fire'
occasioned, it is supposed, by the fluid baud"
passed into the interior of the vessel, all the
powder on board having been thrown into the
sea. Three 'persons were injured by the
of the mast.

NEW Yon.K, OCT. 13.--The Ambuscade,

Havannah on the 13th ult., and for thre succes-
sive days experienced such heavy gales, that the

The Ambuscade, through the indefatigable c2cer'

NORFOLK, OCT. 4.—Having been disappointed
in the expectation of a report from the Board

Extract of a Dispatch from the Governor in Council of Bom-
bay to the Court of Directors of the East India Company,
dated 10th March, 1821.

The expedition under the command of Major-General Smith,
C. 8., arrived at Zoor, (the Imaum of Muscat), the port of
debarkation, on the 28th, and the Iniaum on the 30th January,
after putting his army in motion on three different routes to
effect a junction. The troops immediately landed, and took up
a position about two miles and a half in advance of Zoor.
General Smith's advance into the interior was delayed by an
unexpected deficiency in carriage, which the Imaum was to
furnish. On the night of the 10th of last month, a party of
e
the enemy, in numbers from four to five hundred, of the most
efficient of the tribe, and conducted by their two Shieks,
..Mahomad bin Ali and Cadeem bin Ali, after having sur-
prised the piquets in that direction, made a bold attack
on the left of our camp, succeeded in penetrating into
the rear of the line of the Bombay European regiment,
and committed very serious injury among the Officers
and men of that regiment while getting under arms. • As
"on, however, as the inlying piquet and • portion of the
regiment could form and pursue the enemy, they imme-
diately withdrew ; but this daring enterprise was attended
with considerable loss ; one -officer, Captain Parr, and eleven
privates, having been killed, and three and twenty privates
wounded.
The Arabs left Ban Ali on the afternoon of the Bth, tra-
versed a country almost a desert, and With very little water, and
by a circuitous and very difficult foot-path among the moan-
rnade along march the last day, and without halting, ex-
ezpt to leave a few camels they had with them, reached a place
Masbach, within an hour's march of our camp.
From Masbach they moved in two divisions. It was intended
that one should proceed round to the rear, and the other to the
front of our camp, carry it, and then to attack and take the fort
of Saone. The two divisions, however, met again accidentally
in adate grove on our left, the original plan was changed, and
dvanced and surprised the left of our. camp. • •

e find that a certain Party Print, which is
too
apt to vent its spleen against Monarchy, has
Inade some comments respecting the imputed
declarations of his MAJESTY in Ireland and in
Ira
nover. In his former speeches his MAJESTY
IS reported to have said, that " his heart had
always been Irish ;" and in the latter, " I have
always been a Hanoverian—l will live and die
a Hanoverian." It would be hard, indeed, to
consider his MAJESTY as responsible for all that
flattering or foolish Reporters may state, and it
is by no means likely that he should have made
such different declarations upon the occasions in
question. That his MAJESTY might avow, what
he doubtless feels, a regard for all his subjects,
With expressions of fervid kindness towards those
whom he immediately addressed, May naturally
be expected ; but faction is very fertile, and the
silken of party writers will never cease, till by
clamour, artifice, or any other means, they can
contrive, if possible, to get the Monarch and the
Country into their own hands.
