WEALTH AND WISDOM : OR THE CHOICE OF THE
MODERN HERCULES.
Give wealth and wisdom for• a choice, •
The preference then demand;
Tho' all for wisdom raise the voice,
Yet none hold out the hand.
The mind that human nature knows
This reason well will Fink;
The useful seed which wisdom sows
'Tie wealth that reaps the fruit.

Tonson, who was a keen Whig, when he published
Dryden's translation
of Virgil, annoyed the veteran
Tory poet very much, by causing everyfigure of /E.nea
to be drawn, like King William, with a hooked nose.
This gave rise to the following epigram :

41 obi Jam), by deep fiigrailit sway'd,
To ple3w the wise beholders,
Has placed tdd Nassau's hooked nose
On poor N.neas' shoulders,
To make the parallel hold tack,
Methinks a little 's lacking;
One took his father pick a pack,
And' t'other sent his packing."
The pint ofit -is borrowed froin the following epigram
on Nero :---
" Qui, negat Niiete Inagua de stirpe Nerunein?
Sustulit hic niatrem, inistulit itle patron.'

LONDON,
SA7'URDAY EVENING, SEPT. 2, 1826.

In our paper yeSterday we exclusively announced the
intention of his MAJESTY'S Government to call Parlia-
ment together on the 14th November, and to relax
the Corn regulations so far as to admit of the inunediitte
importation of Foreign Oats, Peas, and Beans ; and
our Readers will perceive by last night's Gazette, that
our information was perfectly correct.
At the Council held yesterday by his MAJESTY at
Windsor, a Proclamation was issued extending the
prorogation of Parliament to Tuesday the 14th Nov.,
and declaring his MAJESTY'S Royal will and pleasure
that the %aid Parliament shall on that day be held, and
sit, lig. the dispatch of divers urgent and important
affairs. At the same time an Order in Council was
issued, referring to the provisions of the Acts for regu-
lating the Importation of Foreign Corn, -and stating
than at the present time the average prices of Oats and
Peas are above the prices at which importation is by
those Acts to be admitted, and that the prices, thereof
are still rising ; but that as no foreign. grain, what-
ever may be the average prices of the same, can be ad-
mitted to entry for home 'consumption, till after the
15th November next, when the quarterly average will
he made up, his MAJESTY takes upon himself to
order that Foreign Oats, Oatmeal, Rye, Peas, and
Beans, whether warehoused or otherwise, shall and
may, from this time, be permitted to be entered for
home consumption, provided parties entering the same
give bond for the payment of any duties which Par-
liament shall authorize to be levied, not exceeding the
following amount,

Oats, per Quarter
Oatmeal, per Bull

ts. 2d.

Rye, Peas, and, Beans, per Quarter

Such permission to enter these articles to continue
in force until the expiration of forty days from the day
of the next Meeting of Parliament, unless Parliament
shall previously to the expiration of the said forty days
make provision to the contrary.

wise These
willbe ap approved determinations
oved
b o
vef his MAJESTY'S Go-
y every, thinking person in
the Kingdom. The failure of the crops of Oats,
Peas, &c., and the probable deficiency in the Potatoe
crop, must, by enhancing the price of those articles,
and with them that of various others; to an immense
degree, add to the distress now generally prevailing in
the United Kingdom, before importation could take
place, under the provisions of the existing Acts for re-
gulating the admission of Foreign Corn ; and too
much praise, therefore, cannot be given to his MA-
JESTY'S Government for their prompt and determined
measure in taking the responsibility of authorizing the
immediate importation of these articles. A measure
of such importance could not, however, be well adopted
without obtaining the early sanction of the Legislature,
and hence the necessity of calling Parliament together
at as early a period as possible, with due regard to the
convenience of the Members of both Houses. The
present situation of public affai is relations
in various
01d the state of the country generally,and
Ireland in
ticular, combine also to render tl
par, le assembling of
Parliament as a right and proper measure ; we, there
ibre, cannot but congratulate the country
that the great
Council .of the, Nation will thus be site
ing prior to that
oeriod at which, from various circumstances, we antici-
pate the recurrence of much and general distress.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday, and the .toile
of Thursday morning, reached us last night. The
latter contains a communication from Syra of the 4th
August, which gives a miserable picture of the affairs
of Greece. The intrepid CANAHIS was severely

wounded in an engagement between the Greek and
Turkish fleets off Samos, in which his fire-ship was
sunk ; but the action led to no decisive result. The
French Admiral de RI Ni had sent a surgeon to at-
tend him, with the courtesy of the French Officers of
former days.
According to these accounts, Athens had been
abandoned by its inhabitants and burnt, and the Turks
were blockading the citadel. The Etoile also states,
that public discontent increases at Constantinople, and
that a re-action is apprehended. The same paper con-
tradicts the account given in the preceding day's
paper, of the meeting of the Great-Council at Ma-
drid. The following are extracts :

(From the Etoile of Slit August.)

SVR A (ARCHIPELAGO), AUG.' 4.--=-At an 'engagement
which took place between the Greek and Turkish fleets oil
Samos, but which led to no result, the fire-ship of Canarii
was run down, and that intrepid Comniander was severely
wounded. He was carried to Naxos, and the 'French
schooner Dauphinoise was sent by Admiral Rigny to 'bring
him the assistance of a surgeon.
The islands are inexpectation of what will take place at
Samos, whose fate they will most likely follow. The
Turks are blockading the citadel of Athens; the town,
after being set on fire by the inhabitants, was evacuated.
M. Fabvier was to leave Hydra and Doro, and go to
Attica with about a thousand men : 1,500 Rounieliotes
have also quitted Napoli di Romania for Athens. The
troops under Redschid Pacha amount to about 6,000 or
7,000 men.

Ibrahim has • again quitted Itis camp of Nissi, to march
towards Tripolitza. A part of the Greek fleet is before
Hydra, whose Primates are closely watched. It is not
likely that the Turks will succeed in taking possession of
this position, which has become the key of the insurrec-
tion. One would even suppose they are willing to let the
Greeks exhaust themselves again this year; so that the
solntion appears again adjourned.
There is no intelligence yet as to Lord Cochrane'* 1
ing arrived in the Archipelago, though he hes been Pre-
ceded by warlike stores, and some English officers engaged
with him ; but even. these officers doubt his coming ft i 4

to the expedition of which he is to take the command !d-
-ieted damage in its machinery, and went into Cagliari.
PARIS, Ave. 30.—We learn from Constantinople, that
the public discontent continues, and a re-action's feared.
It seems certain that the Sultan desired to confismte the
property of the unfortunate Tchapttchi, and that
the miui

people, like an unexpected thunder-clap. His mot

His wife, one of the handsomest women of Constantinople,
is seriously ill. It is supposed that all his family will be

Though, as might have been expected, there are very (-lit,

A most horrible event took 'place in Valencia on
the 3lst of July. A man convicted of heresy "114
executed in that City, with some of the forms of the
ancient auto-da7P. The Etoile which, from the
notoriety of the fact preventing concealment, could no%
deny it, asserts that this execution took place without
the knowledge of the Spanish Government, and eve"
endeavours to vindicate the Ecclesiastics from the ac.'
cusation of having instigated it, and to throw it
upon those Laymen who presided
at the trial
which the Priests instituted, and passed the sin'
tence which they demanded. "It is important to 01;"
serve," says this Orthodox Paper of the Catholi,c
Church, " that the Ecclesiastics called to take corr.
iance of this affair, did nothing but declare the liereq!
to the
after some conferences intended to bring back 0

Whether this Act was committed by awl:fool and
hatea.or
laymen does not alter its character. It was OO
horrible murder : and the Government wh'c
n tall
permit such an atrocity to be committed fill
sanction of the law,, ought to be denouncedder
