TRAVELS AND RESEARCHES IN
SOUTH AFRICA ;
By the Rev. JOHN PHILIP, D.D. ;
,Superintendent of the Missions of the London Missionary

Society in South Africa, &c.
This Work will contain an Account of the past and pre-
seta condition of the Native Tribes within or adjoining the
,limits of the Cape Colony, comprising authentic details of
the various attempts made to enslave or exterminate them ;
,the success of the Missionaries in reclaiming them from
barbarous and immoral habit:, to a state of civilisation ;
the opposition they have had to contend with, and the
intolerable oppressions to which both the Missionaries and
the Natives are still subjected. The Personal Observations
of the Author during his various journeys and travels into
the interior of the Country, will also, it is hoped, add
to the interest of a Work, of which one of the leading oh-
jecte will be to demonstrate the inseparable connection be-
tween Christianity and Civilization.

Dickens, ct plasterer from Birmingham, then raouuted
for a turn with young Dutch Sam. Fur the first bout
every thing went ~,moothly, but in the first rally Dickens
was lugged heavily by Sam's right, ha was then all zt,Yoad
and was hit severely in a rally which followed.—Yandall
and Sam Foote (the second edition) then followed, but
without any thing wonderful.—Phil. Sampson and Tom
Oliver (second edition) then mounted for a wind-up.
Sampson seemed in pretty good condition for his match
with Brown, and exerted his quality for quickness over tli!
at.dd-uu. Oliver however, though repeatedly jobbed, kept
him well to his work, and did all he could. Sampson re-
turned thanks, aid the Fancy departed.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the suzette de France, dated Sunday, March 23.
" EGINA, FEE. 18.
" To THE 3110111LIZS OF TliE LEGISLATIVE BODY.

" On board the Trident, Jan. 7, 1826.

" GENTLRIIEN—I have expressed to the Deputa-
tion which you have sent me, the orders which I
have received from my Government.
" They are to require the payment ef all the goods
(except contraband of war) which have been con-
fiscated by the sentence of the Tribunal on board the
French ships the Pere Cieri, the Tali.onan, the
Alexandre, and others, confiscations which have
taken place after the warnings which have been con-
tinually given to your Government.
It will be for your Government to make this in-
demnity fall upon the captors, who have the advan-
tage, and who are almost all of them of the island of
Spezzia. shall provisionally suspend the execution
of the measures which I had prescribed to M. le
Blanc till the arrival of the President of Greece, but
you must deliver to that Captain a bond for the sum
required, to be paid after the arrival of the Presi-
dent, by the persons bound to do so, and in the
manner and at the time which shall be fixed.

The orders of my Government are further (after
the lapse of fifteen days from the date of the present
declaration) to cause to be seized, and to be sent to
Toulon, every armed vessel met with at sea under
the Greek flag, with the exception of those which
shall belong to the Government, and which shall
act according to its instructions, for the defence
of the islands and the Morea; these latter will
also be seized. if they are found to have plundered,
or even to have searched a ship under his Majesty's
flag.
An Order of Council of his Britannic Majesty
has been issued on the same subject.
As for the little schooners or mistics which navi-
gate the interior of the Archipelago, I again warn
you, orders are given to destroy all those, conform-
ably to:the proclamation of the Greek Admiral-in-
Chief, which shall be found with arms and a crew
beyond the burden of the ship.
The Greek Government has written to me, after
a complaint from the island of Spezzia, respect-
ing the little schooner the Mars, carrying four
guns. This schooner was sunk, because it was
met with without regular papers; because it had a
quantity of muskets, pistols, and sabres ; and because
there were found on board loaves of sugar and other
goods, which evidently came from the plunder of
some vessels; but to prove to you that we only
wish to destroy piracy, and oblige vesaek it►egally
armed to rece►ve orders from their own Govern-
ment, I order those men who have been arrested to
be delivered up to the Deputation.
It is necessary that every Greek mariner should
learn by an example, since the warnings given for
these six years past are useless, that they cannot
embark at their pleasure and without risk, on board
vessels illegally equipped.
I have the honour, &c.
Vice-Admiral DE RIGN Y.

(From the Journal des Debats of Sattnday4)
PARIS, MARCH 22.—1 t would not nolv The easy
to draw England and France into a iiveles.,i war. If
they enter into it§ it ought to be in order to termi-
nate it. We are far from %visiting to subject the po-
licy of France to that of England, or the policy of
England to that of France. What is the question
now agitated with regard to the two Powers?
The execution of the Treaty of July. What
was the object of this Treaty, both at Paris and Lon-
don ? To free oppressed Greece, to stop the effusion
of Christian blood in the Morea—to insure the naVi-
gation of the Archipelago—Who rejected the
Treaty ? Turkey.--Who accepted it ? Greece.---
Whose duty is it to obtain its fulfilment ? The
three Powers which signed it. Since the Porte was
placed in a dilemma, two chances must have been
foreseen ; that of its refusal, and that of its accept-
ance. Unless it is said that the threats were made
without any intention of putting them into effect, it
must be allowed that the fovasioti of the Russians
to induce the submission demanded ought to he re-
garded a 7 a possible event. Now, since to the com-
mon injuries certain private ones have been joined
since, after an insult to all, a private outrage has
been committed on one of the three Powers, does it
follow that the march of its armies has freed
Allies from the sacred engagements of obtaining by
farce that which could not be ga4ted coticitiation ?
Let us acknowledge frankly we have been the
dupes or the Divan. But because Russia, a closer
neighbour of the Divan, has the first ceased to be
so, let us not conclude that we ought to remain longer
the dupe of Turkey, and remain so for the purposes
of Russia itself. The object of this Treaty is not at-
tained. It ought to be. Greece, plundered and depopn--
lated by men—Musstdnrltt—,-wNi!d fof ever disgrace
the policy of the Christian Cabinets. They would only
have increa!td the rage of their executioners, and
deuried the number of their victims. Let us prove
that we can finish what we have undertaken : our
words will be the better listened to, and Greece
will be free. It will then be understood why we
should one day say to Russia or Austria, " You shall
go no further."

PARIS, MARCH 22.—SHALL WE QUIT SPAIN
The evacuation of Spain was decided, and the ar-
rangements formed with the Spanish Government.
Orders were given for leaving Spaht, aiAl transports
sent for the ret,urri 'or the troops by sea. But sud-
denly`:,env consultations took place. Either a French
expedition to the Morea is intended from the coasts
of the Peninsula, or else it is wished to await the Fe-
suit of the return of Pon Mitite!; but it is certain,
that the evaealatin of 'Spain has been deferred. Three
wf!eks have elapsed since the departure of the mes-
senger charged with carrying the grounds of the
new determination of our Cabinet : and if we are
not misinformed, the proposition has !Act ben !Ac-
cepted. Spain hasensweredi nolt. with contempt as
under the Itte Ministry, but with a flat refusal : and
letter was written by Ferdinand to Charles X. re-
questing the latter Monarch no longer to defer the
moment when the Peninsula shall be free from all
foreign occupation. No answer, it appears, has been
sent to this letter,

The appearance of affairs in Portugal titifficteritll•
explains the conduct of Spain in demanding the
evacuation of the Peninsula. Perhaps these events
will allow no longer delay in the wishes of Ferdi-
nan4. Lisbon and Cadiz can no longer be occupied.
Both those countries have equal occasion for being
left free to themselves; and it is only after passim).

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

- HOUSE OF LORDS, MAncit 24.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the
'Woolsack at four o'clock, and shortly after their Lordships
adjourned during pleasure.
The House resumed at five o'clock.

The Earl of ROSEBERRY presented a petition from
the Corporation of Dyers and Bonnet-makers of Edinburgh,
against the Corporation and Test Acts.
The Bishop of EXETER presented petitions from the
Archdeacon and Clergy of the Diocese of Gloucester against
the unconditional repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts,
and also against any further concessions to the Roman Ca-
tholics. The petitions, at the request of the Reverend
Prelate, were read by the Clerk.
The Bishop of GLOUCESTER presented a petition
from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the diocese of Glou-
cester, against the unconditional repeal of the Corporation
and Test Acts ; and also a petition from the Clergy of the
rural Deanery of the Forest, in Gloucestershire, against
any further concession to the Romas Catholics. The
Reverend Prelate presented a petition from the Arch-
deacon and Clergy of the Diocese of Gloucester, praying
that the Unitarian Marriage pill, which was before the
House in the last Session of Parliament, might not pass
inn a law.
Ar.xxANDER, GRANT and others from the Commons,
brought up the Bill for allowing the use of tire on board
steam-vesseLs iu the harbours and canals in Ireland.
Private Bills were brought up by Sir John Ashley, Sir
Wiiliaet Heathcote, anal Mr. Warburton.

Lord SKELMERSDALE presented a petition from a
pariah in the North Riding of the county of York, against
anv further concession to the Roman Catholics,
The Earl of ROSSLYN preeented a petition from the
Corporation of Goldsmiths of Edinburgh, against the Cor-
poration and Test Acts.
The Noble Lord presPnted similar petitions from the
Corporations of Hammermen an 1 Cordwainers of the same
city.
Lord DACRE presented peiitions from Buntingford.
Kingswarden, and several other places in Hertfotdchirei
against all civil disqualifications on account of religious
opinions.
Lord CAWDOR presented petition:, from several Con-
gregations of Protestant Dissenters at Sainthill, and other
places in Devonshire, praying for the repeal of the Corpo-
ration and Test Act..

Lord CAWDOR took this opportunity of asking a
question of the Noble 1..5rd on the WoeNadi, respecting the
Message sent from the other House, that a Commies:inn
might issue for an inquiry into the state of the law in the
superior courts; and the question he had to ask, was,
whether it was the intention of Goverment that the great
Sessions of Wales should form part of that inquiry.
;The LORD CHANCELLOR, in answer to the question
put, begged to remind the noble Lord that the subject
was one of great difficulty, and which had been repeatedly-
under the consideration of former Governments. But
he could not undertake at this moment, as the state
of the inquiry to which big attention was directed
did not enable him, to state whether or not the greal
Szasions of Wales would form part of the inquiry into
the state of the law connected with the superior Courts in
England, and with those measures which the Government
On this subject might think proper to propose for adoption.
The Earl of CAWDOR, under these circumstances,
thought it was only fair in him to give notice that, if the
great Sessions of Wales were not included in the Commis-
sion, he should soon after Easter bring forward a motion
en the subject.
Lord DARNLEY, seeing a Noble Baron (Baron Wal-
lace) wished to aak of him whether Government had
any intention to project improveinents or alteration in the
Irish Post Office Department.
Lord WALLACE could state for the information of the
Noble Lord, that it was not the intention of the Commis.
sioners to make any separate report as to the state of the
Tog Office in Ireland ; but he trusted, before long, they
wcuid be able to lay a report, relative to the Post Office
generally, on their Lordships' table, in which all that re-
lated to the Post Office of Ireland would be embodied.
The subject had not been overlooked ; but before the in-
quiry into the Post Office could be completed, the Commi,,
sioners had been obliged to take up another subject, which
had occupied more time than they had expected. He
hoped that in a few xeeks a Report would be laid on the
table of Parliament. It would be inconvenient for them
to state what would be recommended by that report, but
no delay would ensue is laying the report before their Lord-
ships.
The Earl of DARNLEY thanked the Noble Baron for
the candid manner in which ht had replied to his question.
He hoped that the Pest Oihe,e in the two kingdoms nrould
be consolidated, and that the Post Office in Ireland would
be made to conform to the Post Office here—not the Post
Office here be made to conform to the Post Office in Ire-
land.

Lord WALLACE had no objection to state that the in-
corporation of the two Post-offices would be recommended
by the Report.

Mr. HUME said that he knew the petitioner was
well acquainted with the subject, and be should endeavour
that. he should have the opportauity of being heard before
the Committee.

Lord tBRIFICM.Yr. pteentt,d a petition from the
merchants and inhabitants of Dartmouth, against the
Dartmouth Harbour Bill. (This Bill, his Lordship
contended, was the grossest job that ever he had heard
of even in anF Corporation. By home of the Clauses they
arrogated to themselves the power of appointing such of-
ficers they might think necessary, and apportioning to
them such salaries as they might think fit. The Corpora-
tion ought to consist of twelve isdividuals, but, they did
not at present exceed ten or eleven, and they it was who
were pressing forward this Bill, which he was instructed
to sa!,",, was of so ;ntoleralle a nature that it would go
far to uestroy the trade of the town altogether. The pet!.
tioners were ready to lay down the mooring which
might be necessary, and to defray the expenses by subscrip-
tion, without laying any burthen by way of taxation on
the public. He now asked the House if, in the face of
this declaration, they could proceed to legislate upon as
gratis a job as o'sr came before them.
The petition wee then brought up, and on the motion
that it be. printt:ch
Ski. YORKE said, that as hi* Hon. Friend had thought
fit to address the House on the presentment of this petition,
he should himself also address to them a few words.
This petition, he contended, fully proved the necessity of
putting a stop to the petty legislation which was going
forward. If it had nut been for the exertions of the Noble
Lord, a new and heavy tax would have been laid upon the
navigation of the country. He would not dispute but that
difficulties might exist in entering the harbour, but if so,
it was extraordinary that we should have lived until the
year 1828 without-having been enabled to find them out.
The merchants, it appeared, offered to do this at
one-third of the cost, while the Corporation seek to
impose a tax of fid. per ton upon the shipping, the result
of which would most probably be that no ship would conic
into this very snug harbour at all, and the interests of the
town would be rained. Independent of this they seek to
extend their limits to the river, so that all ships coming
even there would he saddled with this tax, which would
he certain to lead to the desertion of the harbour.
A MEMBER frem under the gallery said that the Corpo-
ration was altogether a very close one, and ought therefore to
be closely watched in their proceedings. The Bill im•
poses a tax on the inhabitants to effect the proposed funds,
and it vested the management of these funds in this close
Corporation, over which the inhabitants could have no con-
troul. He thought the shipowners were only reasonable
in Wong to have a share in deciding as to the appropria-

Church, but that could net be expected to be profitable
until the population of the country should have increased.
Mr. HUME moved that the petition be referred to thu
Finance Committee.
Mr. W. HORTON thought referring the petition to
the Finance Committee would- confer upon it more
importance on it than it deserved, and he thought it would
be tune enough to refer it to that Committee, if the Coto-.
mittee should think proper to call for it.
Mr. HUME withdrew his motion, and the petition was
ordered to be printed.
WINE ROOMS.
Mr. BERNAL wished to lay before the House a peti-
tion from a respectable wine-merchant of the name of
James Hillary, who had opened wine-rooms or wine-shades,
called the Portugal Hotel, in Fleet-street. This indivi-
dual had put himself to considerable expence in fitting opt
his rooms, which were most respectably conducted. In-
formations had been laid against him before the Commis-
sioners of the Excise, at. the instance (as we understood
the Hon. Member to sag) of the Alderman of his Weide
under 6 Geo. 4, cap. fil, hut they had refused to inter-
fere, as they did not wish to take any course that would
diminish the revenue. The sitting Alderman at Guildhall
had also rejected the complaint, but the matter was
not dropped, as some common ieformers bad , disco-
vered that Mr. Hillary was liable to a penalty under
the old Police Act, 33 Geo. 3, cap. 113, and the Magis-
trate found himself compelled to convict in the penalty of

rooms from the operation of the old Police Act, which
had been revived against them. The subject was well
worthy the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
He begged to ask the Hon. Mettsher whether he meant
fittther to postpone the second rea;,,line of his Lie,en sing
Bill?
The CHATICELLOR vi the EX/It.,VUER. professed
himself unable to girt an opinion, as he had' only very im-
perfectly heard ths Hon. Gentleman.—(The noise prevail-
ing in the House during Mr. Bereal's statemetet was veil
great.)
Mr, ESTCOURT had intended that his Dill sin-held
pass pro fermi through the second reading and the Corn--
mittee, b✓
ut it had been thought best that the Bill, with the
blanks filled up, should first be reprinted. The subject waa
very interesting, as nearly ail the hotel keepers at the west
end of the town were liable to the same informations that
had keen laid against Mr. Ililiary. There were two oh-
jections to inserting a clause in the Licensing Bill—first,
that it would include a special section in a general law ;
and secondly, that if a speedy remedy was wanted, it might
be some months before the Licensing Bill passed. The only
method was, to pass a particular Bill with rapidity through
the House, in order to indemnify or protect the parties who
suffered under the old Police Act.
The petition was brought up and ley&
Sir G. PHILLIPS asked, whether the Hon. Mea,
ber (Mr. Estconrt) meant to introduce a clause rendering
it imperative upon Magistrates refusing a licence to state
their reasons?
Mr. ESTCOURT answered, that when the Bill was
reprinted, the Hon. Baronet would be able to ascertain its
contents.
Mr. Alderman WOOD observed, that wine was retailed
in these rooms until one, two, and three o'clocli in the
morning, while litensed houses were obliged to shut up
much earlier in the City. He had no doubt that a licence
would be necessary to all when the Hon. Member'B Bill
passed.
Mr. BERNAL called upon the Hon. Alderman oppo •
site to bear testimony to the fact, that uo complaint had
been made against Mr. Hillary's wine rooms.
Mr. Alderman THOMPSON had tie doubt that Me.
Hillary and others in the City of London kept very respect-
able houses; but out of the City of London there were
many low wine houses which required the supervision of
Magistrates. As to Mr. Hillary, he bad nothing to say to
his prejudice, and lie wished he was let off of the penalties,
—The petition was laid en the table.
STAMP DUTIES.
Sir J. WROTTESLEY gave notice, that en the 6th
May, he would move for a Copy of a Memorial presented
to the Treasury, for removing the Stamp Duty on Inland
Bills of Exchange, and for a Copy of the Case, and of the
opinion of the Attcrney and Solicitor-General there tiptoe,

Mr. ROBINSON presented a petition from the Mayor,.
Aldermen, and Inhabitants of Worcester. to the number of
between 800 and 901 J, against the Bill fur an'lmprreeement
in the Method of taking Polls at Elections for Citiae Awl
Boroughs.
After few words from Colonel DAYIES, the petition Iva,
brought up and read ; on the question that it lie upon the
table,
Mr. ROBINSON justified the course he had taken,
and denied that be had been instigated to change his opi-
nions by his constituents. He had sent down his Hon.
Colleague's Bill to the Mayor of Worcester, and the result
was the petition now brought up. He admitted that he
had seconded ttie motion fur a Committee to inquire, but
he did not think himself bound thereby to support any
crude measure that might be the result of its investigation.
Colonel DAVIES had nut said that the Hun. Gentle-
man had been instigated by his constituents.
The petition was then laid upon the table. ,
Mr. K. DOUGLAS presented a petitiou from Duos.

tion of the money, and also in asking for power to pay
off the sums, so as to abolish the toll as speedily as pos-
sible. He hoped the House would give their utmost at-
tention to this Bill before they suffered it to pass into a law.
Sir HUTTON COOPER said, that he was not in the
House when the Noble Lord commenced speaking upon the
petition, but he did come in time enough to hear him cha-
racterise the Bill as a gross job. He could not, as Member
for the Borough, suffer such a stigma to be attached to the
Bill, and he now begged to say, that he hiinself belonged
only to two Corporations, those of Dartmouth and of
Bath, and in neither of them was there any thing
that could be construed into jobbing. How could it he
said that there was to be no control when the accounts were
to be always open. Upon the whole, e more just or equitable
Bill never came before the House..
After a few words from Lord EMLINGTOK, the petition
was referred to the Committee on the Bill.
Mr. TOMLINE presented a petition from the Watermen
of Horseferry Stairs, praying that the Bill fir erecting a
Bridge over the Thames at Lambeth, might not pass into a
law.
Mr. HUME presented a petition from the seven Corpo-
rate Trades of Aberdeen, praying that certain claneee in
the Aberdeen Harbour Bill might not pass into a law.
The Magistrates were pressing forward those clauses to

given to them, and which they had neglected to exercise for
the object to carry into effect which in whe given to them.

ANATOMICAL DISSECTION.
Mr. DUGDALE presented a petition from the Surgeon-,
of Birmingham, complaining of the inconvenience and in-
jury
to science arising from the want of bodies for die-
section.
Sir R. FERGUSSON said, the subject of the petition
was one of vital importance, and seriously deserving the
attention of the House.
Sir iCiSEPH lORKE said he was of opinion that
there should be a law declaratory et" a man's right to make
over his own body in articule laugh.)—He
did not know how the law was on this subject; hut he
thought, if a man when living had tilt to make over
his own body for his own benefit, or for the benefit of hi-
heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, after his death,
that much good would be effected. Paupers and persons
in humble condition would feel that their lives would
saved by abstaining from making over their bodies, and ecienee
would be benefitted, inasmuch as persons who died from
disease would fall into the hands of the surgeons, and
their bodies were often enure useful to the faculty than the
bodies of healthful subjects. Ile had no doubt that if a
man could legally pass property of this kind; there would
be plenty of subjects without ransacking tiie church-yards.
Mr. WARBURTON said, that shortly after the
Holidays, be would give notice of a motion for a Com-
mittee to inquire into the subject of Anatomical Dissection.
Mr. 11. THOMPSON was glad this subject was likely
to be brought regularly before . the House. In France
bodies might be had fur dissection for I O francs a piece, as
many as you pleased.
Mr. HUME presented a petition from the inhabitants td
Arbroath in Scotland, praying for a Repeal of the Teet
and Corporation Acts. He begged the particular atten-
tion of the House to one passage in the petition, in which
the petitioners state, that they consider every subject of

tary employment, without reference to their religion,
