SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM 41IDE.IT?

LONDON,
MONDAY, JULY 9, 1821.

The Paris Journals of Thursday arrived last
night. An article from llermanstadt, dated June
14th, states, that the passage of a Courier through
that town had given birth to a report, that after
the defeat of Prince CANTACUZENA, the Paella of
Ibrailow .had attacked Prince YPSILANTI near
Tergowitz, with a very superior force, and driven
him from that place. It was further re-
ported, that Yrstr..ANTl having taken refuge in a
house on the Austrian territory, had been imme-
diately arrested. A letter from Vienna; how-
ever, dated June 24th, says, that this report,
though widely circulated, had not been con-
firmed. .011 the contrary, it was stated, the
Greek Prince had marched with his troops
on the Bth of June, on Bucharest. Letters
from Constantinople, received by express in the
Austrian capital, on the 24th ult. announce the
discovery of a plot by the Idriots to burn the
arsenal. Twenty of the ringleaders were arrested,
and immediately put to death. Other letters
from the frontiers of Turkey speak of a sangui-
nary.battle which. took place near Galacz, be-
tween. the Greek army and the Turks, in which
the latter were completely defeated; with the loss

of 30 pieces of cannon, and four Pachas made
prisoners.

The intelligence from Madrid comes down to
the 26th ult. The Cortes have granted to the Go-
vernment thepower to raise a loan of 200,000,000
reals. Numerous arrests had taken place at Se-
ville, where a new and extensive conspiracy
against the Constitutional Government had been
discovered. A former Guerilla Chief, D. Mia,
was amongst the persons arrested. The King
had promised a deputation of the Cortes that he
would proceed to their Assembly on the 30th
ult. to close the Session.

The French Chamber of Deputies commenced
on Wednesday last the discussion of the proposal
wade by Government for the continuance of the
existing censorship on the Press. The Minister
of the Interior opened the debate in support of
the proposition, and was followed by M. Bus-
SON in opposition to it. M. JOSSE BEAUVOIR
then got up, and contended far the necessity of
continuing the present censorship until the enact-
ment of a new and more repressive law against
abuses of the Press. lie proposed to prolong,
the censorship until after the expiration of two
months from the opening of the next Session.
The discussion was adjourned to Friday.

German Papers arrived this morning, and the
following are their contents :

" INTELLIGENCE FROM THE- PRINCIPALITIES

OF MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA.

" According to authentic accounts from Her-
manstadt, of the 16th of June, advice had been
received there of the advance of the Turks up the
Schyf and Old rivers, who in those two direc-
tions were approaching in considerable force
there to Tyrgoshyll, and here to Rirrmik. The
bearer of this news was the eye-witness to an
action which took place near Dragaschan, and the
result of which was entirely to the disadvantage
of the insurgents. The latter, though inferior in
force to the Turks, took flight as soon as they
saw some of their Pandaurs fall, and, after set-
ting fire to the place, retreated towards Rimnik,
which place may perhaps share the same fate on
the approach of the Turkish army. The Otto-
man troops observed much better discipline than
the insurgents, not only at Crajowa, where the
Caimakan Janko Samurkasch fixed his resi-
dence, but wherever else they came, and for this
reason the greater part of the peasants gradually
returned to their villages from the woods in
which they had taken refuge. A strong corps
of Ypsilanti's had, however, proceeded on the
14th to Rimnik, and had began to throw up en-
trenchments there. it was reported that Alex-
ander Ypsilanti was himself come to Rimnik with
his corps, and had given up his former position
at Tergowist. The mountains, close up to the
Austrian frontiers, are mean time full of Greek
fugitives, who have no mind to fight the Turks.

" The news from Bucharest come down to the
nth, on which day the Caimacan Postelnik Ne-
gri arrived, to the universal joy of the inha-
bitants, and had immediately sent a courier to
Cronstadt to acquaint the Boyars with his ar-
rival, and to invite them to return to Bucharest.
" Iletman Vagorides, who is appointed Caima-
can, had already set out from Silistria for Jkssy.
Nothing is yet known of -tlie appointment of a
Prince of Moldavia.

" The Ottoman troops were to arrive by the
14th at Argisch, and by this time the insurgents
will be so straightened that there will be hardly
a way left for them to escape. It is reported
the Caimamar Saiva has joined the Turkish
army, and occupied Borraza, by which the com-
munication over the Pass of Tomes seems to be
re=established.
" The notorious Rebel Chief Theodore Wiade-
meresko, who, as we have already said, was, by
Ypsilanti's orders, confined at Pitescht, and car-
ried prisoner to Tergowist, was, in fact, tried,
condemned, and executed on the 7th of this
month."---(Austrian Observer, June

BUONAPARTE.—The following further particu-
culars of this celebrated Character we have
received from the same authentic source as the
communication which we inserted in our Pa-

per of Saturday last :
" BUONAPARTE may be said to have died ra-
ther heroically than otherwise, as the pain arising
from the disease must have been very acute, and
he never uttered a complaint. He refused medi-
cine as useless, and stated, a month previous to
his death, that he should never, rise from his bed
again. At that period he also said, that he was
confident he knew, better than the surgeons what
his disease was ; and that it was the same that
his father died of. The pain that it gave him,
he described as if a knife had been run into his
body, and broke short off, the wound closing ex-
ternally afterwards. Great curiosity has- been
excited to know whether -Napoleon had any sen-
timents of religion previous to his death. lie
was perfectly indifferent to all the ceremonies
that were performed by the Catholic Priest, and
if he did receive the holy water, it was given to
him at a time when he was in a,state of insensi-
bility. The only circumstance observed that
could be construed into a religious feeling is doubt-
ful. A few hours previous to his decease he is said
to have gradually drawn his hands from his sides,
and to have clasped them in a convulsive manner
over his breast. lie then released theme and
they fell into their fordier position. Diaring the
latter part of his illness, he kept his eyeS con-
stantly fixed upon the portrait in full length of
his son, which was hung up by his request at the
foot of his bed ; and it seems that his attachment
to the child was very great. The last words of
Buonaparte have not yet been recorded ; they
were uttered in a state of delirium, but still
shew what was working in his mind :
" Monsills" was the first word, and afterwards he
murmered what seemed to the hearers to be
" Fete &armee." He shortly afterwards said
46 France," and never spoke again. The head
and face of Buonaparte were immensely large in
proportion to his body; they may with great pro-
priety be said to be the only parts that could be
reckoned fine ; his face, 14 hours after his death
was one of the most interesting that could be
Imagined, but from the extreme heat of the Ornate,

the decay was so rapid that shortly afterwards the
features collapsed ; and at the time that he Was
laid in state, after his haVing- been opened, the
countenance had undergone a total alteration.
His body was altogether mean ;—bones very
small, and very little muscle ;—he was very fat,
even at the time of hiS death. On opening him,
his heart was found very small and feeble, and
loaded with fat :—his liver was large, and one of
his kidneys reversed. It seems that he would
have died much sooner if the liver had not forced
itself into the hole in his stomach, and hindered
the aliment from escaping : but, except from a
slight irritation, naturally to be expected at thin
part of the liver, as it was in contact with the
diseased quarter, it was completely sound and
healthy, and did not shew the least symptoms of
the complaint which he was stated by Mr.
O'Meara to Suffer under. His hand was rather
effeminate, but beautiful. The- wounds on his
body were as follow small wound on the
head, received from the pike of an English
serjeant at Toulon ; one above the knee, by a
spent ball, received at H.atisbon ; and one near
the ancle, a deep musket ball graze, that he re-
ceived in Italy. His cranium did not give
the satisfaction to the craniologists that was an-
ticipated. A great deal of trouble was taken by
Doctors Mitchell and Burton to have a cast of
his face and cranium ; but unfortunately the
quality of the gypsum, which was only to be pro-
cured from the Island, was such as rendered all
their attempts fruitless. A 'short time previous
to his death, he scratched an N with a penknife
on a snuff box, which he presented to Dr. Arnott
for his attendance on him, and has also left the
above Gentleman 500 Napoleons. His valet(Mar-
chand) is a very superior young man; it is said he
has amply provided for him ; and he made him
a Count previous to his death, exacting a pro-
mise from Bertrand and Motholon that they
would respect him as such. It appears that
Buonaparte, during his whole confinement at
St. Helena,. never allowed any of his suite to
relax in those attentions and duties that he
had formerly exacted as Emperor. lie
ways dined alone ; no one was allowed to sit in
his presence; and to ensure the impossibility, he
took care to have but one chair in his room. In-
deed, from all accounts, Bertrand, Montholon,
and the rest of his suite, had no sinecure in their
retreat with the Emperor, and they have at least
proved their fidelity, in their continuing with
him until his death. It is now ascertained, from
the acknowledgment of Bertrand, that the book
called The 31 Days, 'was the production of Buo-
naparte himself. * The effects at St. Helena are
said to be left to Bertrand and Moutholon ;
they are very valuable, consisting chiefly of
plate and the finest Seve China ; a most
beautiful antique cameo snuff-box, given to
him by the Pope, he has .left to Lady Hol-
land with a slip of paper in it written by himself,
in acknowledgement of her kindness : but the
rest of Buonaparte's Will was kept a secret at
St. Helena."

The AvroaNry and the SOLICITOR-GENERAL
argued against the claiMs of her AIAJF.szv, before
the Privy Council, on Saturday ; after which
Mr. BitouGnAm. replied; The Council then ad-
journed till Tuesday (to-morrow). The course
of the proceedings has been such, that we now
think it entirely unnecessary to do more than re-
fer to the copious report which we have inserted
of the argumentative speeches of the Learned
Counsel, which-certainly form a very curious and
entertaining record of almost all the facts relat-
ing to this interesting question, and of nearly
every thing that could be said or written on the
subject. - - —waft—

SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOW..
LEDGE.-ln another column we have inserted the
" Seventh Report.of the Wincheiter Diocesan and
District Committee," in aid of this most admirable
Institution. The recent fierce discussions re-
specting the Constitutional Association have ne-
cessarily led to•a .very particular and attentive
examination of the constitution, tendency, and
spirit, of those othei Societies whose excellence
and utility are acknowledged, and the manner of
whose proceedings, as well as the object they
propose to accomplish, are allowed to be unex-
ceptionable, in order that it may be ascertained,
by comparison and analogy, how far the Consti-
tutional Association resembles, in its form, its
character, and its agency, those Institutions which
are admitted to be models partaking of a high
degree of perfection. With how much additional
lustre does the venerable " SOCIETY FOR PRO-
MOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDG.E,". shine forth
under the scrutiny of this keen comparison ! How
beneficent are its•workshow mild and peaceful
its spirit—bow pure its tendency- and objectsL—
how virtuous its agency—how lovely its aspect,
its truly Christian and unostentatious course, dis-
pensing the blessings of that Holy. Religion to
which it owes- its own existence, -like the Divine
Author of its faith, alike upon the worthy and
'the unworthy—alike upon . the wavering and
the stedfast—the infidel and the believer—
the crafty betrayers, and the simple ones
whom they seek to seduce to their own de-
struction ;—putting forth all its energies, not
to judge the wicked, but, with the winning voice
of divine persuasion and heavenly truth, to call
sinners to repentance! In the language of the Re-
port, " In the early part of last year, infidelity
and blasphemy were spreading, far and wide,
their pestilential poison, and the most indefati-
gable industry was directed to the overthrow of
Christianity."—" The evil was of such magnitude,
and so extensive had been its progress, that the
friends of good order and religion felt themselves
bound in an especial manner to call into action
all the means within their power to check and
counteract the dreadful consequences which must
inevitably have ensued;"—And of what
_descrip-
tion and character were the means, which these
friends of good order and religion called into
action ?—None could be more wise, more liberal,
more just, more efficient. They knew that the
poison which had been diffused throughout a
large mass 4,)f .the population, was not to be era-
dicated by the mere punishment or even destruc-
tion of the vipers by which the subtle contagion
had been communicated, but solely by the uni-
versal and persevering application of the divine

antidote furnished by the Holy Scriptures, and.
by such religious writings aS were calculated to
neutralize the deadly effects of those blasphemous
publications with which a licentious Press had
inundated the country. Infidelity had spawned
an innumerable progeny, all equally. mischievous
and active, though a few only might at any one
time be visibly occdpied in seeking their Prey.---
This visitation, therefore—this plague—was not
to be eradicated by the destruction of those rep,
tiles only Which ventured into the light of- day,.
hut by pouring the effulgent flood, the divine
light, of heavenly TRUTH, into all the (lurk
recesses in which the entire brood- sought for--
safety and for shelter,,—and, by carefully Cul,
tivating the public mind, sowing the seeds
of godliness in the bosoms of the people,
and plucking up by the roots the noxious
weeds upon which they fed, by depriving
the- many-headed monsters Of the sources of
their subsistence as well as of the places of their
refuge. With these views, " a Committee -was
appointed for the special purpose of counteracting
blasphemous and infidel publications." " They-
were instructed, not only to publish, in a more
popular form and at a diminished charge, Ott,
tracts relating to those subjects which were
already on the Society's list, but to provide and
circulate at the lowest prices such other books
and tracts as might in their judgment be.
best suited to the object in view ;" and.
which, as far as they extended, produced the
happiest effects.—We confess that these leo-la-
mate proceedings of this Society wear a very dif-
ferent aspect and character from what is yet
known of those of the Constitutional Asssocia-
tion ; and they have given rise to some reflections
regarding the latter Institution, which we shalt
respectfully submit to our Readers in our next"
Paper.

ENGLISH OPERA H 0 U st.—The Beg, ar's
Opera was performed at this Theatre on Situr- '
day, for the purpose of presenting a new Polly to
the public.—The young Lady who assumed the
part on this occasion is, as we before mentioned,
Miss Fount, who appeared a very few nights ou
the Dublin Stage. She is not handsome, but her
face has an expression of simple innocence, and
her manner is wholly unaffected. She is obviously
possessed of musical knowledge, and has a cor-
rect ear. She sings with taste, but is somewhat
too much inclined to the flourishing style of -the
day. She was encored in some of the airs, and
altogether acquitted herself very well. As she
is stated to be no more than seventeen years' of
age, it cannot be expected that she' should 'he
equally effective as an actress, but she will doubt;
less improve by practice in that respect.—The
part of Lucy was admirably supported by Miss
KELLY ; PEARMAN was a very respectable Mac-
heath ; and BARTLEY, in the old costume and in
the acting of Locket, was what the author must
have intended,—The new musical afterpiece of
Love's Dream was well sustained, and Warmly
applauded. The house was well attended. •

July 9.

[BRITISH PRESS .:1
The King's Attorney and Solicitor-General
-were heard on Saturday by the Privy Council in
opposition to the Queen's claim for a participa-
tion in the honours of the Coronation. Mr.
Brougham was then -heard in reply. This ques-
tion has now become one of strict legal right,
Woad every argument that industry, learning, and
acute reasoning powers could possibly suggest,
has been urged upon both sides. The matter
now Tests. for the decision.of the Privy Council,
who will form their judgment with all the strict-
ness of a Court of Common Law; they will form
it, too,.under the supervision of the public eye,
for by means of the active and laborious exer,
tions of the public press-, the whole question
lies . open to the view of the - world. In this
state of the proceedings it would be indecorous
to express any opinion .as to the probable re-
sult of the inquiry.- We .ca-rinot, however, avoid
remarking it as a somewhat "singular cireurn-
s:at.ce,. but which arose necessarily from the
duties respectively
,thrown upon the -contend-
ing .advocates, that. -while the Queen's Counsel
dwelt with energy and eloquence upon the con-
stitutional importance of the Coronation as a reli-
gious ceremony sealing the great compact between
the .King and his people, the King's Attorney and
Solicitor-General thought it
,prudent to detract
from its solemn interest, and to represent it as a
mere farm, an useless ceremony, which added
nothing to the power or-dignity of the Crown, and
might or might not be celebrated at the discre-
tion of the King. If these Learned Gentlemen
had chanced to have exercised much influence in
the Cabinet.when the question was first started
respecting the expediency and necessity of cele-
brating the -Coronation, the country 'Would pro-
bably have been saved the heavy expenditure
which has been lavished upon it.

[MORNING POST.]
The pleadings before the Privy Council on
the:question of 4ie Queen's claim to be crowned
terminated on Saturday, when the King's Attor-
ney and Solicitor-General ably and conclusively
replied to-the arguments of. Mr. Brougham and
MrDenman. The Privy. Council will give their
decision to-morrow, which is expected to be
communicated in the forin of an Answer to her
Majesty's Memorial.

[NEW TI S 1 ES.]

The argument on the Queen's claim, to be
crowned with the King, was concluded on
Saturday; and judgment would no doubt have
been given immediately, had not mere courtesy
and respect for her Majesty's rank demanded
that .all appearance of precipitation should be
avoided. The Privy Council therefore adjourned
until to-morow, when this matter will be disposed
of; and we hope the Queen's Advisers will make
no more attempts to impede the great national
solemnity so ardently expected by the people at
large. The Attorney and Solicitor-General, in
refuting the long and laboured arguments of
Messrs. Brougham and Denman, were under no
other difficulty than that which necessarily re-
sults from every attempt to render a self-evident
proposition clear and intelligible, in opposition
to a number of totally irrelevant statements.
Two lines of theAttorney-General's speech in effect
annihilated all the oratory of his opponents for the
two preceding days. " Either it is a right," says
heopeakin,g of the Queen's Coronation, " or it
is not a right ; if it is a right it can never have
baen omitted on mere grounds of expediency ; if
it is not a right it is a ceremony depending on the
will and pleasure of the Sovereign."—Now what
say Messrs. Brougham and Denman ? William I.
did not crown his Queen with himself, because
she was in Normandy. Stephen did not crown
his Queen with himself, because it was inconve-
nient. Whether Henry 11. crowned his Queen
with himself or not we don't know ; and if he
did not, we can't tell why he did not. John did
not crown his wife with himself, because he was
in love with another Princess. Charles I. did
not crown his wife with himself, because he
thought the Puritans would be displeased if he
did. And George I. did not -crown his wife with
himself, because she was in Germany !

The first questions that occur to every one on
the subject of the Queen's Coronation are, "Why
alt. this trouble, why all this labour and pains
to deprive a woman already sufficiently wronged,
of what has been alway.s considered as the indea-
feasible right and adjunct of her station ? Why
even investigate whether a Queen's Coronation is
matter of right or of usage only, thought it is clear
enough that, iii this country, undisturbed usage
constitutes right ?" The answer" to these ques-
tions leads to the undeniable conclusion, that
there is a strong wish to prevent the Queen froth
being crowned ; and when it is considered in
-what bosoms that wish may be supposed to reside,
the nation may be excused, if it looks with some
apprehension to the manner ip which .the claim
of right is likely to terminate.—lt is an affair of
transcendant public•utility, to be sure,—of vital
interest to the nation,—to enable the King to
pass through
.the ceremonial of a solitary Co-
ronation. And how will• his Majesty's reign
immortalized with what splendour will his
same pass down to posterity,— if, by the
unrivalled exertions of his. Ministers'and Coun-
sellors, his lawyers civil and common, his fleetS
and armies,• his cqnstables and other peace offi-
cers, he be at last enabled to effect that
has not only never been effected, but has not
even been meditated, since the reign of William
the Conqueror to the present day ! Nay, and
rant only will the glories of all preceding
English Monarchs he tarnished and thrown into
the shade by the success of this vast undertak-
ing ; hut foreign dynasties also, and their boasted
honours, must sink into obscurity before it. For,
with respect to France, even though the-Salique
Issv has existed there, yet, neither the Kings of
the Merovingitu4 nor of the Carlovingian, nor of.
