oaching change of
our Ministers in al-

lowing the scandalous scenes which take place at
the Club of the Fontana d'Oro, has raised them
many enemies; among the friends of good order
and public tranquillity. Several petitions against
the Ministry have been presented to the King,
and it is imagined that they will be dismissed
when his Majesty returns to the capital.—The
existence of Merino is a problem, the solution of
which is hidden from us by the government. It

is not true that he has quitted the country ; and
it is believed he is still in Castille. The public
are very dissatisfied at the ill success of the opera-
tions against this chief.
" LISBON, JULY 18.—The Count of Pahnella,
and the other persons who obtained leave from
the Cortes to land, have availed themselves of

that permission, and are living incognito, in the
country, until their friends can succeed in miti-

gating the rigorous decree of the Cortes.

" The Cortes are still occupied in passing the
articles of the Constitution. On the 13th of
July General Gui. Pepe, who was travelling in
Portugal with Colonel Pisa, was attacked
near the town of Estremoz by five thieves,
who stripped them of every thing they pos-
sessed, amounting in the whole to about
1,000/. sterling. A motion was made in the
Cortes on the 17th, to indemnify the General for
his loss, which was carried, and referred to the
Committee of Finance."

Dutch Papers of the 4th inst. were received this
day, and the following are their chief contents :
" TRIESTE, JULY 15.—The Austrian vessels re-
turning from the Levant have been frequently
visited by Greek armed vessels, which have al-
ways shewn the greatest respect to the flag of the
Emperor of Austria. These vessels have brought
us some recent news from the Archipelago and
the Peleponnesus. There does really exist a
Government of the islands, the seat of which is
at Hydra, an island to the east of the Pelepon-
nesus; but the authority of this Government is
not recognised by the whole of those which are
more or less under the dominion of the Turks.
There are jealousies between the inhabitants of
the different islands, and each governs itself in
its own way. However, all the inhabitants make
all possible sacrifices to relieve themselves from
the domination of the Turks. There was an
idea of establishing a general government at Tri-
poliza, but this plan cannot be realized unless
the Turks evacuate the whole of the Morea. The
Greeks are employed in building forts in the
several islands, and in repairing and extending
the works which have been neglected by the
Turks. The Turks on their side are endeavouring
tojortify themselves in the Islands next to the
coast of Asia, and they will do their utmost to
maintain themselves there. They have sent
troops to Seio, where they are entrenching them-
selves. Samos, Nikaria, and all the little islands
between Samos and Rhodes, have been occupied.
As long as the Turks are masters of the coast of
Asia Minor, it will be very difficult for the
Greeks to make themselves masters of these
islands. In the island of Candia there have
been partial actions between the Greeks and the
Turks. The two parties are at issue, and it is
supposed they may combat a long time before
victory decides in favour of either. Many Euro-
pean and American vessels are now in the Ar-
chipelago, and, notwithstanding the war, carry
on a very advantageous commerce with the
Greeks; the latter pay very good prices for arti-
cles of every description which may be of use in
war; often they give goods in exchange. Very
considerable p. izes have been taken from the
Turks."

A file of New York Papers was received this
morning, but not of a later date than those of
Saturday.

By the brig Harriet, from Cape Hayden, we
learn, that the account of a Revolution having
taken place in the Spanish part of the Island of
St. Domingo, as received last week by the
schooner Flying Fish, is premature; at the time
the Harriet sailed no such event had yet taken
place, although the temper and disposition of the
people warranted the belief that it would occur.
MACEDONIAN.—On the sailing of the Mace-
donian from Callao a boat was dispatched from
the British frigate Hyperion, then getting under
weigh, tendering a salute, if one would be re-
turned. It being assented to by Capt. DO WNES,
this compliment was exchanged with the utmost
good will. This circumstance is mentioned as
being a peculiar act of courtesy on the part of
the British Commander, and one not often '
shewn by British ships of war to those of the
United States.

*[Extract of a Letter from. Rio Janeiro, 11ay13.]
" The situation of this country has been very
distressing. The state in which the public
mind had been for a long time held by the un-
certainty of the Court's departure, had occa-
sioned a great distrust in the Portuguese; and
no one would purchase any thing, even at the
most reduced prices. The [Loyal Family having
departed from this on the 26th ult. we are in
great expectation that things will improve, more
particularly so, as the Prince Royal, who has
been constituted Regent of the Brazils, As-
sures the people that every thing in his power
shall be done to improve the commerce of this
country."

ginally intended ; but.in proportion as the amount
of the proposed saving is diminished, particularly
from the lower class of salaries, the measure alfo_

gether becomes the more contemptible; and ex-
hibits an instance of narrow parsimony almost
amounting to meanness, and absolutely unworthy
of the country. It is impossible that the slightest
degree of public benefit should be felt from a
proceeding, which is as grinding and ungracious
towards the persons who are to suffer under its
operation, as it is inefficacious as a relief from
the pressure of taxation. It would be as reason-
able to expect the diminution of a monstrous wen,
deforming the neck of an afflicted individual,
and parasitically consuming those juices intended
for the nourishment of the adjacent natural
parts, by the hopeful expedient of paring his
toe-nails, as to look for relief from the public bur-
diens by the paltry curtailment of a few salaries to
clerks and other public officers. The observa-
tions which have appeared in this paper, represent-
ing the humanity and justice of not extending
the proposed retrenchment to the subordinate
daises of office have, we find, made a strong im-
pression on the meritorious body of men by whom
those offices are held ; and we have received
many applications, urging us to persevere in such
an appeal to the justice, not the liberality, of
Government. Most happy should we be, if we
should find that the exemplary and patriotic con-
duct of Lord CAMDEN should induce some of
those who hold places of high emolument, far ex-
ceeding- all reasonable equivalent for the duties
performed, to come forward, and make voluntary
sacrifices greater than are likely to be required from
them by any official arrangements ; and should also
induce those who hold several appointments, and
particularly sinecures, to reflect on the state of the
country, and of the temper and expectations of the
public mind, to which Ministers find themselves
constrained to make even the unworthy sacrifice of
which we have been speaking, and which we
certainly think should be averted by some liberal
act on the part of those who are munificently
provided for out of the public purse. Faction,
and even Treason, we know, are constantly at
work to bring disgrace upon Government and the
higher orders of Society; and some sacrifice to
general opinion seems therefore to be abso-
lutely necessary, for the restoration of unan-
imity and of a well affected state of the public
mind.—But we again advert to the threatened re-
duction of salaries in the lower classes of office, and
cannot but reiterate the expression of a heartfelt
wish that the measure may be wholly abandoned,
or compromised by some voluntary sacrifice of
the kind which we have taken the liberty to sug-
gest. With regard to the intended reduction of
the army and navy, perhaps it would be highly
dangerous, hi the present depressed state of the
demand for labour, to return a great number of
men upon the country, wholly destitute of all
means of support, except from the poors'-rate ;
and who might, therefore, be driven to tl►e per-
petration of the worst crimes. It appears to us
that it might be proper to make some allowance
to the disbanded men for a certain period, thus
affording them facilities for gradually blending
with society hi industrious occupations.

'Whatever may be the final issue of the present
state of the QUEEN, we sincerely hope that it
will put an end to all that disgusting controversy
which has so long prevailed between her advo-
cates and her opponents. The great national
inquiry is ended, and whatever conflicting opi-
nions may have been formed respecting its nature
and result, it is full time to drop the subject, and
to suffer it to rest upon the silent conviction of
all parties. Such will be the rule of our con-
duct, and such conduct is recommended by sound
policy and a due regard to national peace and
order.
