BRITISH MUSEUM.

Yesterday this establishment was closed to the
public for the season. Upon a review it appears
that the past has been one eminently marked, both
as regards the extent of the donations received and
the number and rank of its visitors. Since the addi-
tion of Sir Joseph Banks's library, the arrangement
of which has just been completed, it may be safely
asserted that the British Museum contains the best
library of natural history in the world. Sir Joseph's
splendid collection embraces 24,000 volumes, of all
that is rare, on natural history ; it is a fact, that dur-
ing the long period he was employed in forming this
collection, scarcely a traveller loft England who was
not in possession of an ordet from Sir Joseph to pur-
chase books, prints, MS., &c., illustrative of natural
history, to a large amount. His late Majesty's li-
brary, again (the delivery of which will be completed
during the present. week) embraces 60,000 volumes
of all that is rare and erudite in the ample
range of art and literature. Many thousands of
these volumes are in the most exquisite and
costly bindings ; not a few of them are bound by
that excellent workman Roger Payne, who, it is
said, has received from 20 to 30 guineas for binding
a single volume, and, notwithstanding, died a dis-
sipated beggar. The King's library is rich in works
of topography. The London Institution, it is well
known, has hitherto rterliaps the best and largest
collections of topographical works. Since the ac-
cession of the King's library at the Museum, how-
ever, the preference will HOW be given to the latter
establishment. The duplicates which are found
amongst the King's books, it is said, will be collected
and exchanged for different works : this observa-
tion, however, does not apply to the duplicates pre-
sented to the Museum by other parties ; these
are never disposed of, but kept, from courtesy to
the donors. The arranging of the King's books, it
is calculated, will occupy the librarians and their as-
sistants about six months, when they will be rawly
for public inspection and perusal, under certain re-
strictions. Several donations, of a miscellaneous
nature, have also been received during the past sea-
The late Lord Primate wet one of the Trus-
tees of the Museum, and was in the habit of paying
it frequent visits.

Thursday evening, as the Dart coach, from
Edinburgh, was running down the bill to the westward of
Linton, souse of the harness gave way, and the horses be-
cause unmanageable. The coachman had no ether re-
source hut to drive on ; and at Linton, where there is a
quick turn, the coach ran foul of the corner of a house,
and the concussion was so great that all the passengers
were more or less hurt ; one gentleman was so much
bruised that he could not proceed on his journey. Mr.
DOUGLAS, broker, Berwick, was likewise severely hurt.__

Mr. KEAN.—Mr.. KEAN performed the part
of Sir Giles Overreach on Saturday last, and though un-
questionably much indisposed, sustained the character in
his usual admirable manner, to the great delight of a full
and fashionable audience. Those who knew Mr. KEAN
a few years ago, cannot suppress a sentiment of deep re-
gret at his present altered appearance. His countenance
formerly exhibited a manly grace and spirit, to which his
conversation imparted the liveliest interest. All this is
gone, and is succeeded by a pimpled and bloated face—a
heavy aspect and spiritless demeanour, the very contrast
of the personal appearance and private character which,
as it were, a short time ago only, he possessed. We
heartily wish him well, but it is from a better authority
than our private observation, that we state that unless Mr.
KEAN yields implicitly and steadily to this timely warning,
in less than two years Ise will be no subject for contempo-
rary remark. To use his own term, he is already " booked,"
but it depends almost entirely on himself, when he will
take the journey.—Taunton Courier.
THE DISTINGUISHED AMATEURS, AND
Ma. KEMBLE.—SHAKSFEARE'S Historical Play of " Henry
the Fourth " was represented at our Theatre, on Saturday
night, to a brilliant and overflowing audience. The Fal-
staff of Captain BERKELEY was marked by that talent
which invariably appears in the efforts of this very dis-
tinguished Amateur. Colonel BERKELEY was peculiarly
in his element when presenting to his refined and discri-
minating auditors that well-conceived portrait of the
" mad-cap Hal." In reply to the Old King's remon-
strances, and the challenge to Hotspur, Colonel B. was
eminently successful, and loudly applauded. Of Mr.
KEMBLE'S Hotspur we shall only say, that it united the
vision of the poet with the truth of the historian, and may
he truly said to hare presented a just and beautiful personi-
fication of the ' Romance of History." The character of
Poins was sustained by another of the Amateurs (Mr.
BANK ES) with much vivacity. The humorous afterpiece
of Husbands and Wives" was performed with consider-
able spirit. The Captain •Tickall of Colonel ligaraLEY
was an admirable performance; and called down repeated
plaudits from all parts of the house. Mr. BANKES per-
formed Humphrey Grubb in a very humorous and lively
manner, and frequently put the risible faculties of the
audience to the test.—Cheltenham Chronicle.
THE Mooßs,&e.—Again the sporting world
gives signs of life—again is heard the note of preparation
for the campaign which opens on the 12th of August. Of
the heaths, the ling is already in flower, and the other
kinds about to be pranked with blossom, which imparts
prodigious interest to the mountain's side. The great
fruitfulness of the present season is felt even on the bleakest
hill ; and the birds, as they rise whirring on the wing,
seem to vie with the husbandman in the expression of their
g gratitude—the one rejoicing in luxuriant heather, and the
other t it
in a e
superior crop of grain. The covies, on an average,
ra
number twelve or thirteen bird; and the young, which
were flying weeks ago, are already so strong and well grown,
that they can hardly, when they rise, be distinguished from
the old. Black-cocks, which have been increasing of late
years, are more numerous, in proportion, than grouse—
another proof of the mischief which rises from indiscrimi-
nate moor-burn. Partridges are said to he plentiful on the
whole, although we have seen some weak enough coveys.
The pheasants at Cully, where the breed abounds, have
done, and are doing exceedingly well. Nests containing a
were met with in the park at every little dis-
tdaonsceen,
egg
gtrwe were told of one prolific hen, that laid no
fewer than nineteen, and of another, that hatched and
brought fourth her young under the manger of a stable or
shed, at the farther extremity of the deer park, exposed to
the observation of the gamekeeper and others, and the
visits of both horses and beeves. Hares are numerous and
abundantly strong. A single leveret in one seat, was
a very rare occurrence this year. Two, and even three
were far more Common, and we may say of the present
season on the whole,—and that not in ene, but in every re-
spect,—that it bids fair to obtain a niche in the sports-
man's calendar.—Dumfries' Courier.

" At half-past six o'clock on Tuesday, evening,
the atmosphere being perfectly serene, I determined
at once to attach the pony to his apparatus, and pre-
pare for the ascent. For this purpose, the hoop of
the platform on which he was to take his stand was
opened, and he was led from his stable, but was ex-
tremely annoyed by the pressure of the crowd, to
escape from which he took his station with apparent
pleasure, and behaved rather rudely to one or two
strange gentlemen who were anxious to arrange a
portion of his decorations that had become misplaced,
and whir I was obliged to adjust myself. 'Whilst
his fetloqk-joints were being secured, and other ar-
rangeme;its made, he was perfectly calm, mid repeat-
edly licked my hands. The saddle was made fast
to the hkop, to which also were attached my grap-
pling iron, a bag of laeans, and about 2501b5.. of bal-
last in I 1 bags. Soon after seven- o'clock every
thing being in readiness, I ordered the last rope to
be loosened, and we ascended slowly and nearly per-
pendicularly, amidst the acclamations of the largest
assemblage of spectators I ever saw congregated.
At the moment of liberation, my companion made
several plunges backwards and forwards, and trembled
violently, evidently alarmed at the shouts which I
could distinctly hear until I had passed the Thames.
He, however, in a few seconds regained his wonted
serenity, and became quite passive, eating some
beans from my hand, which, by leaning forward, I
could easily give him. I now hung out my grapnel
to be prepared for a descent, and dismounted to
arrange some ballast ; but finding that my weight on
one side threw the platform off its perpendicular; and
considerably discomposed my little companion, I re-
sumed my seat, and discharging a little ballast, at-
tained the elevation of about a mile and a quarter.
Here we were visited by a descent of snow of the
finest texture, which had from the reflection of the
direct ray of the sun from above, and the oblique
rays from the clouds beneath, the appearance of a
shower of silver dust. On descending a little, the
snow appeared changed to rain; but on a still further
descent, neither rain nor snow were to be felt or
seen, a circumstance not to me unusual. During
these gradations the little animal appeared quite at
home, and finished his bag of beans. Having been
in the air upwards of half an hour, I began to prepare
for a descent ; and there being scarcely a breath of
air stirring, this was, with very little trouble, and
without the slightest injury to the pony or myself,
effected in a clover field in the parish of Becken-
ham, Kent. The moment my companion was libe-
rated from his 'confinement, he took advantage of his
situation, and enjoyed himself most luxuriously
amongst the clover, which he devoured with every
appearance of a keen appetite, although he had eaten
more than a pint of beans while in the air. My first
comideration was to procure a proper person to take
care of the pony ; arid very fortunately one of the first
persons who came to my assistance was a gentleman
named Lister, residing at Plaistow, and with whom
I had the honour of being previously acquainted in
London, who kindly procured me the use of the stable
of a friend, in Beckenham. The weight taken up
on that occasion was as follows :

The loss of gas in my descent having been
comparatively trifling, I determined on retain-
ing the remainder during the night, and either
myself er my son, whom I expected with the car, to
make an ascent the following morning, with Mr.
Hemming, Professor of ChYmistry, the gentleman
who recently ascended with me from Stratford, and
who, from the extreme roughness of the weather, had
been on that occasion prevented from making some
anxiously-wished experiments. He was, how-
ever, again doomed to disappointment; for on
Wednesday morning the wind blew a strong gale
from the west, which continued nearly the whole of
the day, and which would, in a few minutes, have
drifted the machine to the Nore. In the
evening it became more calm, but the usual waste
and condensation of the gas, the balloon having been
inflated on Monday night, did not allow sufficient
ascending power for two persons. Under these cit.•
cumstance, the villagers having been led to anticipate
an ascent, I entered the car alone about five o'clock,
and ascended to the height of about a mile. After
remaining up nearly half an hour, I descended safely
on Bromley-common, fire miles from the field from
which I ascended. The balloon, car, &c., were then
packed up and sent off to London ; but my travel-
ling companion, who bad during the day been visited
by some hundreds of individuals, did not arrive until
last evening, when he resumed his old quarters
safe and sound, being the first of his race that (tke
wooden horse of Pacolet excepted) ever traversed the
regions of the air."

THE UGLY CLUB.—At a late meeting of
the Catholic Association, Mr. O'CONNELL styled the
Ifoufr,e of Commons as " the ugliest assembly he had ever
seen congregated together." We presume, he is going
into the House himself for the express purpose of redeem-
ing its beauty.

ACCIDENT.—On

ft bLonaitsht:
held an inquest at Kilcroney, near Glyde-farm, on view of
the body of MARA- WATERS, a child nine years of age,
daughter of PAT. WATERS, a poor man residing at that
place, who had been burnt to death that morning. The
father and mother and two eldest sons had gone at day-
light to gather cockles on the strand at Annagasson, and
left the deceased and a younger brother asleep ; shortly
after their departure, the boy was awoke by the crackling
of fire, and a part of the roof falling, and endeavoured to
arouse his sister, but in vain ; he escaped himself with
difficulty out of the house, which in a few minutes was in
flames. Two men, coming from a wake at Tallanstown,
observed the fire and hastened to the spot, but the flames
raged with such violence that their efforts to enter the
Ismse and rescue the deceased were fruitless; shortly after
the body was taken out, a dreadful spectacle, literally
roasted ! The fowls on the roost were in the same state,
and the potatoes were destroyed.—Droghetla Journal.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-011 Saturday morn-
ing about two o'clock, the south side of the quadrangle of
the College attached to our Cathedral, was discovered to be
on fire by a bargeman, who instantly gave the alarm to the
watchman stationed near Wyebridge, and the rattles were
sprung, when the inhabitants with praiseworthy alacrity
flocked to the scene of devastation, which at half-past two
presented a terrific appearance; the offices in the south-
east angle of the square, and the roof of the centre part of
the southern side, were enveloped in flames and burniag
with fearful rapidity. The different engines

CoNsTANTINOPLE, JULY B.—The Governinent

The surrender of Brailow, after an obstinate de-
fence, is officially known, and that the Russians lost

It seems that the Porte Alas delivered to the Aus-
trian Internuncio a letter for the Duke of Welling-
ton, in which a wish is expressed to see the English
Amhassador again at Constantinople, with this ob-
servation, that if one Power (Russia) persist in dc-
siring the execution of the Treaty of 6th July, and
on the other hand treads treaties under foot, and act
hostilely against the Porte, it is not to be supposed
that another Power (England), which has not yet
departed from the stipulations of the Treaty, and
has always expressed sentiments of good will
wards the Porte, will persist any farther in this
Treaty, and by that means suppert the hostile arid
illegal measures of the first Power. It is natural
that as much importance is attached here to the

GERMAN AND DUTCH PAPERS.
ODLSSA, JULY consequence of an invita-
tion which they had received, the principal inhabi-
tants of the town waited upon the Governor-Gene-
ral, when the following rescript of his Majesty the
Emperor, dated from the head-quarters of Karac,ou,
24th June, was read to them :
" Count Michael Semenowitsch—The well-known
readiness of the inhabitants of Odessa to assist in
promoting the welfare of the State, gives me the
certainty that, on occasion of the present Iva'', they
will give new proofs of these sentiments, by taking
care of the sick and wounded who are sent from the
army to Odessa, and fur whom it will be necessary
to erect an hospital in that city. With this view I
commission you to declare to the citizens of Odessa,
that, in confiding to them the care of the brave sol-
diers who risked their lives for the good of the coun-
try, and, at the same time, for the town itself,
which can fliurish only under the protection of a
durable peace, I feel convinced that by speedily
erecting the necessary hospital, and by their cafe
of the defenders of their country, they will fulfil
the ditties of faithful citizens, and justify my
pectations.

FRENCH EXPEDITION TO THE MOREA,

AND THE WAR IN THE EAST;

(From the Jourtmt de commerce.)

The last discussions in Parliament prove the de-
gree of imbecility to which the Ettglish Government
has sunk, since it has fallen into the hands of a Tory
Ministry. That which constituted the power of
Canning, has caused to the Duke of Wellington and
his friends embarrassment, alarm, and perhaps min.
The policy of. the great Statesman whom Eneaed
has lost, rested on this simple and just idea—to
avail hi•lself of all the moral power whleh absolute
governments had neglected, or turned against them-
By that means he acquired an immense
'popularity, not only in his own country, but in the
remainder of Europe, and in all the civilized world.
He composed his power out of those elements of
which disturbances and insurrections are formed in
other countries. His device of civil and religious
liberty rallied around him every body and every
thing which was not connected with political and
sacerdotal privileges. Thus he raised England to he
the first amongst nations.
What power shall undertake the management of
the affairs of Western 'Europe ? Is it Austria ? Is
it France, still uncertain of the career in which she
is to run, between two opposite directtons ? A
career is now open before her worthy, of her ancient
greatness; but she most enMt upon it with a full
assurance of the ass At and concurrence of the people
of surrounding -nations. The example of Can-
ning was give:it to the world as a temptation to the
ambition of 'noble spirits. - Will our Government
think of executing a plan so large in its conception,
of which the wisdom is already proved by its bril-
lien:: success ? We are ignorant, and we wish to
irk:pain ignorant, whether any narrow view of policy
fs mixed with the resolution taken by our Ministers
to achieve the liberation of Greece, and to secure
its independence. The enterprise is announced with
appearances in its favour. Of the three Powers
who signed the Treaty of the 6th of July, one de-
serts the cause which he had embiaced, and another
has lost, in adhering to it the merit of disinterested-
ness. France, then, is the only power which takes
upon itself the literal execution of the Treaty. It
is to Prance, alone, that the gratitude of the Greeks,
Trd the approbation of the people whom A profound
'sympathy allies to that noble and unhappy nation,
will be due. That glory, shoelci it even be without
profit, will not leave us without some recompense'
for the sacrifices which it will cost us. If wes, may
give credit to the reports which are bruited abroad,
T.his expedition, undertaken originally in concert
with the other Powers, will secure to us important
advantages. France will preserve the title of Pro-
tector of Greece, just as England does that of Pro.
Lector of the lonian Isles. We are informed that
M. de Ferronays, whose departure in a short time
for Carlsbad we had before mentioned, will be
charged with the duty of fixing the conditions of
the freety to that effect.
We have no occasion to call attention to the ins-
portanee of the position in which France will find
herself placed as mediatrix between so great a
number of ambitious rivals, watching at once
Turkey, Russia, and Austria. To sustain such a
part, her forces would, without doubt, be insufficient,
if she could only reckon on the army which she
employs in the expedition, and on her marine.
Every thing will depend on the conduct of the Go-
vernment. Her first care will be to preserve the
affection of the people confided to her tutelage,—an
affection to which the French have already so many
titles. It must commit great faults to undo the
works of our Phil-hellenes, and especially of Fabvier.
That brave officer, who, it is said, is attached to the
expedition, with the rank .of Marcchal de Camp,
adds to France the immense influence which he.
derives from the gratitude of the Greeks. The
Ministry which receives such assistance from
soldier of liberty will discover, without doubt, that it
is upon liberty that it ought to rest its strength.
How many auxiliaries will it find, if it wishes to
employ them, in Italy, in Germany, in Spain, in
Portugal—we say not a word of France 2"

(From the Courier Francais.)
The expedition to the Morea is the news of the
day. A Ministerial journal informs us this morning,
that Russia has demanded our assistance to obtain
the evacuation of the Mores, and that England is to
second our efforts with its navy. That is to say,
England will only look on.
The army, it is said, will land at Napoli di Ro-
mania. We shall perhaps hare to lay siege to two
ur three places, which, being' strictly blockaded by
sea, will not hold out long. The most serious obsta-
des will be found in the nature of the country. The
plain of Napoli di Romania is insalubrious, and the
country offers us no resources. In Spain, we could
buy upon the spot the articles necessary to the sub-
sistance of the army. We could procure wood, pro-
visions, and hospital stores. In the Morea there is
nothing of the kind. Every thing that the army
may require must be transported to it by sea, and it
is well known how expensive transports in general
are.

Some time ago several regiments were cantoned
in the neighbourhood of Toulon. The project of
ttle expedition was then given up, and these regi-
ments were scattered over various parts of the coun-
try. They must now be made to return to the
places in which they were first collected together.
This is an expence which might have been spared.
No commission has yet been issued from the
office of the Secretary at war. Thousands of offers
of service are addressed every day to that Minister,
and to the Commander of the expedition, by
Officers who eagerly seek the honour of forming a
part of it.
The embarkation of the troops is fixed for the
?sth of August. The vessels will sail with the
troops assembled at Toulon. They will not wait
for the 3,000 men who are expected from Cadiz.--
Thus the troops who are to embark by the middle of
next month, are not reckoned at more than 7,000 or
8,000 men. The rest will join them afterwards. A
reserve of 6,000 men is, it is said, to be formed at
Toulon, to reinforce, in case of emergency, the expe-
dition.

PARIS, JULY 29.--The necessity of defending our-
-seNes obliged us to conquer. Victory conducted
'us to the top of the Alps and the left bank of the
Rhine, the strongest barriers to resist our enemies,
and the natural limits of France. This position had
'nothing threatening for Europe, our security assu-
red its safety. The first campaigns of Germany and
Italy were only the combinations of a defensive
system, which carried war into the enemies' country
to save our own. The desire of conquest did not
beget the expedition to Egypt, it arose from the re-
ciprocal interests of two rivals. The conqueror of
Italy would not bend the knee before the Directory,
t 1 the Directory could not bear the presence of a
victorious General, who, from the beginning of his
..areer, placed himself on a level with Hannibal and
Cesar. The weakness of the Directory having pro-
duced disasters which compelled us to repass the
Rhine, and cost us Italy, chance, or his ambition,
brought back from the banks of the Nile the man
who excited the imaginations and the hopes of all
parties, and to him the power was confided ; or
rather, he seized on it with boldness and ambition
which urged him on to dominioh.
The battle of Marengo made him again master of
Italy, and that of Hohenlinden terrified Germany;
the Treaties of Luneville and Amiens caused the
whole of Europe to recognize a Government which
by repressing all parties by a wisely planned Admi-
nistration, and by a code adapted to our manners and
our wants, had raised France from its ruins, and re-
stored confidence at home and abroad. The Cabi-
net of Saint James's would not give up Malta, and
it tore in pieces the concessions that were only a
momentary concession to public opinion. A new
coalition arose; the battles of Ulin and Austerlitz
placed the Austrian Monarchy at the mercy of Napo-
leon, and drove the Russians back to their snows.
So marry triumphs intoxicated this powerful genius
who felt himself able to conquer every thing; he no
longer placed any bound to his ambition. Moscow

was the !hit to his prosperity; hunger and cold de-
Istrcietl the army which had dictated laws to many
hations. Forced back on Germany, then on France,•
and not finding, after useless prodigies of valour and
talents, in the nation he had deprived of liberty and
exhausted the resources) the devotion Whinh, had
dissipated the lirst noalitien, he fell j but; like the
hero of Carthage, • equally great in his nlisfbttunes
and his trirtnpils
At the hekintling of the war Russia stood with
regard to France in the position France now occupies
with regard to Russia. The French Revolution
had attracted the attention of the Cabinet of St. Pe-
tersburgh, and it acceded to a Treaty, and towards
1799, Suwaroff appeared in Italy, Kotiakoff in
Switzerland, and a division in Holland the valleys
of Aikmaer and Zurich saw them defeated. Since
the time of Charles XII: this Power has tended, by
the weight of its ambition, to the east and west of
Europe, and towards the Caspian Sea. Front
Smolensk and Kiou, its frontiers have 'extended to
a few leagues from the Odell frbm Azoff, they have
gone to the Pruth anti to the Phasis. She has
crossed the Araias, and is at the foot of Azarath.—

She is now marching on the Bosphorus, and the
titan of the campaign reminds us of the vast combi-
nations and gigantic schemes of Napoleon. She has
given many tranquillizing assurances to Europe. Are
'there no dangers ? A few years ago they proceeded
from the banks of the Seine, and. whence do they
now come, if not from the banks of the Neva ?
Europe disguises its ftars, and hypocrisy is Rot the
least of its dangers. Russia, however, has many
difficulties to surmount, and her first steps appeared
feeble and hesitating. Marching fkom the Danube
to Constantinople, the Russian army chases before
it all the Turkish population; the Bulgarians re-
main in the villages and towns. The Turkish Ma-
homednn population of Europe is only firmly este-
-I.lished in Bosnia, Albania, and in a part of Mace-
donia. In proceeding to Constantinople the Rus-
sian army leaves this hospitable population on its
right flank; it mast cause them to be kept in check
by a nurnerous corps, and this necessity explains the
value she sets on our expedition to the Morea, which
will be a favourable diversion, and facilitate offensive
operations.

The Turks will deftnd with courage Constanti-
nople, protected= it is by its harbour and the sea on
two sidcrN and by strong fortifications on the side
wlvitk forms its triangle; but Pera is without de-
fence, and on Pera depends the safety of the har-
bour, and the maintenance of a position which com-
mands a part of Constantinople. Will the Turks
' have time and foresight enough to construct lines
proper frt the dafence of Pera r It is more than
permitted us to doubt on the subject. They will
have scarcely any other ramparts on that point than
the Turkish inhabitants of Bulgaria and Thrace,
who, collected on the Bosphorus, will render victory
bloody, if not doubtful. The Russians will make
themselves masters of the right bank of the Darda-
nelles, and of the Bosphorus, up to Pera; they %rill
thus secure the union of their squadrons of the Black
Sea and of the Archipelago, in the Propontis, before
Constantinople. They must, however, expect an
obstinate struggle at the fortresses of the Bosphorus,
which, although weak on the land side, still offer
sonic mewls of resistance.

The army of General Paskewitsch will have still
more serious difficulties to surmount. On quitting
Armenia, it will meet .with nothing but ferocious
Mussulmans, under the excitation of religious en-
thusiasm, who, at each step of its progress, will
harass its rear and left flank, will menace its line of
operations, and will render its subsistence uncertain
and difficult.

If the plague and sickness should aggravate the
embarrassment belonging to the position of the two
armies—if any of those fortuitous events, those un-
happy chances so frequent in war, should surprise
then), they will find in summer, in the Mahometan
States, what we met in winter at Krasnoi, at Bare-
s►na, at "%Vilna, and at Kowno,--destruction and
death, Summer has its scourge as well as winter.
Surely the French army was nut inferior, either in
courage or in numbers, or in glorious recollections,
to the army of the Emperor Nicholas, and moreover
it was commanded by Napoleon. No enemy ought
to be despised, so narrow if;" the distance between
victory and defeat. Who knows whether Europe
may not wake again at the sound of a new catas-
trophe, that may dissipate its alarms
But if every thing should smile upon the pro-
jects of the young Emperor, who is advancing with
a bold step on the road marked out by the genius of
Catherine, we must not conceal from ourselves the
truth,—the independence of Europe is more than
compromised. Mistress of Asia Minor and of Euro-
pean Turkey, Russia would become the mistress of
our destinies.

The policy of France is of an exalted nature.
Greece, emancipated and independent, deprives
Russia of all pretext of continuing its operations. If
generous ideas have caused the Emperor Nicholas to
take up arms—if the emancipation of the professors
of the same religion as himself be the noble aim of
his exertions, he will unite with us in the formation
of an independent state, which, comprehending all
European Turkey, will put an end to the scandal
occasioned by partitions—those perpetual occasions
of re-kindling wars,—and will secure to his com-
merce the free passage of the Bosphorus and the
Dardanelles, of which the possession and the defence
would be entrusted to a friendly people, which
would long have occasion for his support and pro-
tection.

France seeks no advantages, no compensations,
either in the possession of the Peloponnesus, or in
the possession of Egypt. She wants no portion of
either. If the balance of relative power be broken,
she can only find around her, in frontiers more
clearly traced, means of defending and preserving
her independence. We are convinced that no am-
bitious views distract the Cabinet of the Tuileries ;
that noble and exalted sentiments, in sympathy with
the resurrection and independence of Greece, have
alone determined it to take part in the political and
military events which must spring out of the war
in the East.

Austria is alarmed, and conceals her intentions in
her usual ambiguity and obscurity.
England watches and waits.

During Sir ROBERT WALPOLE'S Adminis-
tration, a troop of French players had been brought over,
but the audience and populace would not suffer them to
perform. Another company came over in 1'730, but with
no better success. Several young men of quality had
drawn their swords in the riot, endeavouring to support
them ; Lord TRENTHAM'S being present bad been exag.
gerated into his being their chief protector. French players
had been no uncommon spectacle in England. The founda-
tion of the late animosity against them was this : the op-
position to the Court had proceeded so far as to be on the
point of ridiculing the KING publicly on the stage of the
Little Theatre in the Haymarket, in a dramatic satire
called the " Golden Rump," written by HENRY FIELD-
ING. Sir R. WALPOLE, having intelligence of this design,
got the piece into his hands, and then procured the Act to
be passed for regulating the stage, by which all theatres
Were suppressed but such as should be licensed by the Loan
CHAMBERLAIN. This provoked the people so touch, that
the French company having a licence granted soon after,
when several English companies were cashiered, it was made
a party point to silence foreign perfurrners.—Lord Orfords
Afentoirs.

LONDON.
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1, 1828.

By the French Papers, which arrived this
morning, we are informed that it is not at Lay-
bach that the Congress is to meet, but at Hirsch-
bade, in the kingdom of Wurtemburg. We
much question whether a Congress will meet at
all. The day of humbug and Congresses is gene
by, or deserves to be, for the Congress of Ve-
rona and that of Laybach have added little to
the character, and still less to the power and
glory of England. It is the curse of this coun-
try that she loses in negotiation whatever she
had achieved by arms. Our Ambassadors and
Negociators are for the most part looked upon
by foreigners as mere pigeons whom they are
justified in plucking without scruple, and cer-
tainly without mercy. Yet JOHN BULL, is so
magnanimous, that he would rather be plucked
himself than pluck his neighbour, and that is
just what his Allies want, while they laugh in
their sleeve at his noble generosity. The Em-
peror NICHOLAS boasts, that with the exception
of Persia, England is the best Ally he ever bad.

Frankfort Papers of the 27th July have been
received this morning. They state that accord-
ing to accounts from the interior of the Turkish
provinces, the fortresses are most amply provided
with necessaries of all kinds, and with every re-
quisite means of defence. Relying on the cor-
rectness of these assertions, they say that the
Russians have yet their work to do—that the
march to Constantinople is not yet completed,
although the passage of the Danube has been
effected, &c. The following are extracts:—

HERMANSTADT, JULY 7.

The accounts from the interior of the Turkish Provinces
are unanimous in stating that the fortresses are most amply
provided with necessaries of all kinds, and with every re-
quisite means of defence. Those persons are therefore
very likely to be mistaken who think that the task of the
Russians is completed by the passage of the Danube, that
the march to Constantinople will be attended with no diffi-
culties, and that the war is in truth as good as ended.—
Though no great doubts can he entertained respecting the
fate of the Turkish force assembled to defend the Balkan,
as it is no match either in skill or number for the Russian
Armies, the sieges to he formed will require very great
efforts. The very considerable loss of men which the Rus-
sians experienced in the attempt to storm Brailow is a con-
firmation of this assertion. We know that the Russian valour
there met with the most desperate resistance, and that the
surrender of the place was purchased by a vast slaughter.
Against the plague, which has indeed began to chew itself
in some placer, the promptest and most efficacious measurer
have been adopted by the Russian authorities, and there is
every reason to hope that it will he prevented from spreading.

NAPLES, JULY 5.

A band of robbers, which was joined by some indivi-
duals who formerly belonged to the sect of the Carbonari,
had committed all kinds of excesses at the end of last month
at Palinuro, a small port in the province of Salerno, where
they spread terror among the peaceable inhabitants. Their
unlawful proceedings were, however, of short duration.
On the approach of the Royal troops, who were inane-
diately, ordered to the spot, these banditti took flight ; the
ringleaders fled into the mountain, whither they were pur-
sued ; the others endeavoured to escape to their own homes.
Na doubt is entertained that all these criminals will, in a
few days, he in the hands of justice.

Brussels Papers of the 30th July have been
received this morning. It was reported at gem•
lin on the 13th July, that the Cabinet of Vienna
had sent to the Russian Cabinet a declaration of
the policy which Austria means to pursue with
respect to the war in Turkey. Emissaries
arc said to have been sent from Bucharest
to Ilermanstadt, to induce the Boyards
to return to the Principalities, but they
refuse to do this till peace • is restored be-
tween Russia and the PORTE. This resolu-

tion of the Boyards is ascribed to foreign in-
fluence. There is a very active correspondence
kept up between the head-quarters of the Aus-
trian army and Vienna. The troops are con-
stantly exercised, and often reviewed. What
gives additional countenance to this news is the
fact, that Austria is levying, in Italy and Hun-
gary, a force of from 50,000 to 60,000 men.

The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 24th July,
states on the authority of an article from Herman-
stadt, that the real plague has actually broken
out at Bucharest, and continues to spread, not-
withstanding the exertions of the Russian autho-
rities to arrest its progress. The Servians are in

:arms, and every thing in that quarter and Bosnia
betokens events of moment :

lIERMANSTADT, JULY 9.

The plague that has broken out at Bucharest and the vi-
cinity (and it seems indisputable that it is the real plague),
is reported in the latest accounts to make an alarming pro-
gress, and the exertions of the Russian authorities have not
yet succeeded in checking it. On the side of Little Wal-
lachia the quarantine is now fully organized, and the term
is axed for travellers at ten days, and for cattle and goods
at 18 days. We mentioned in a former letter that the
sanguine hopes of many who expected a speedy termi-
nation of the affairs of the East would probably
not be realised ; on the contrary, the question becomes
more intricate every day, and the war is gradually spreading
to all the provinces of the Turkish empire. The hope•,
too, that were entertained of the tranquillity of Servia have
vanished. We heard a great deal of the endeavours of the
Russians to repress popular tumults. If there was any
foundation for these assertions, the result proves that their
exertions have been in vain. Abdurahman Bey is ad-
vancing with the troops of Bosnia, to force a passage
through the country ; and Prince Milosch
,is new
in such a situation, that he must take part in
the business. The struggle which is here preparing, may
form an episode in the history of this war, which, inde-
pendently of the operations of the Russians, may soon as-
sume a popular character. The Christian Servians and
the Mahometan Bosnians are two of the most warlike por-
tions of the Turkish population ; and if they come into
collision, the scenes which took place under Czerny George
may be renewed. We may therefore look for events which,
if not of so long duration as the Greek insurrection, will not
be concluded in a few weeks.

♦IENNA, JULY 19.

It ig stated in letters from Malta of the 18th
June that Count CAPO D'IsTRIA has remitted
to the Banker of the Emperor of RUSSIA, re-
siding at Valetta, one million and a half of
Rubles. If this be true it looks very odd. We
should have rather thought that the President
of Greece was more in want of money than in a
situation to give it away. But it should be re-
collected that Count CAro is a Russian, at
least at heart, and that his game is to play into
the hands of his Imperial Master, whose en-
larged policy is daily developing itself as a
singular commentary upon his professions of
mc)deration, and his rather ambitious mode of
putting them in practice. We should not be
surprised to learn that the illustrious President
of Greece has taken a lesson from the patriot
Chiefs whom he superseded in the Go-
vernment, and acting upon the knowledge
acquired, is feathering his own nest as quick as
possible, before the enthusiasm of the monied
friends of Greece subside. The arrival of the
French army too would be rather awkward for
the President's " incupation”—as the French
might be tempted to have a President of
their own—and by the right of conquest they
would be justified in doing so. Count CAro
D'ISTRIA shows so►ne foresight in taking care ,
of his money,—which perhaps saves the poor
Greeks the trouble. We shall have strange scenes
in the East shortly.

An article, dated Berlin, of the 20th July,
SityS:••••••-" We are informed from Odessa, that
about the middle of June, Gen. PASKEWITSCH
passed the Turkish frontiers on the side of Er-
zeruin, without encountering any, serious resist-
ance from the Turks." He will march along
the coast of the Black Sea with all despatch, in
order to cut off' the retreat of the Turks from
Constantinople.

Letters have been received from China, as-
serting that the rebels who were reported so often
to have been annihilated, had given the Im-
perial Army a total and most disastrous defeat.

According to accounts from Toulon of the
22d July, the greatest exertion was made to
equip the illajcstueux, a three decker, a frigate,
and other vessels of war. What will the Duke
of WELLINGTON say to this ?—Our neighbours,
the French, seem to be taking a lesson from the
moderation of NICHOLAS ; but they are at
least sincere—they say, France is on the eve of
great events, and is resolved to be prepared.

The Stuabian Mercury of the 24th of July
contains a singular paragraph, evincing the laud-
able desire of the late Grand Duke of SAXE
WEIMAR to have his memory transmitted to
posterity in good company. He requested that
the mortal remains of SCHILLER should be i;t-
terred on his left hand, while the place on his
right is reserved for those of Goethe. This is
a noble homage to genius—a reverence for which
is far more general in Germany, and indeed
throughout the Continent, than in England,
the favoured land of Freedom and the Muses.
But the Grand Duke has done wisely : the
association of his name with those of SCHILLER
111 d GOETHE will more surely float it down the
stream of eternity than if he had gained a feverish
immortality as the conqueror and destroyer of
surrounding nations. The glory of most heroes
will hardly outlive the rust on their swords,
whereas the fame of the true Poet endureth for
ever :

WEIMAR, JULY lb.
In addition to what we have already said of the in-
terment of the Grand Dake of Saxe Weimar, in the
vault of the Chapel of the family, it is worth men-
tioning, that according to his own desire, the mor-
tal remains of Schiller, are placed en his left
hand, and that the place en his right is reserved for
those of Goethe, so that he will repose between the two
great literary ornaments of his Court, and of the German
nation, whom he honoured not merely with his protection
but his friendship.

ZURICH, JULY 19.

The Fifth Sitting of the Diet was chiefly occupied with
the question of the unfortunate clans of individuals who
have ao legal settlement in any of the Cantons, and are
therefore called the Hcimathlosen (homeless.) It does
not appear, however, that any thing satisfactory has been
done since last Session.

In the 6th Sitting, the Diet discussed the subject of a
Plan for a new penal Code for the Regiments in the French
service. Disapprobation was expressed at the too severe

punishments, especially for transgressions against discipline,
the retaining or the punishment of the bastinade, and the
extensive ill defined powers of the grand Judge. The
Diet appointed ,a Committee, which in concert with the
author of the new plan, Lieutenant-Colonel Koch, of
Berne, is to collect, arrange, and examine the instructions
Of the Cantons, and to make a report to the Diet.

Accounts from Savoy state that 2,000 men
are busily occupied on the fortifications of Bra-
mant. They are also repairing and fortifying
the other forts. It is generally reported in
Piedmont, that the French Ambassador has
dectired, that the first battalion which enters into
that country (from Austria ?) will be the signal
for a French army to march into Savoy.

Letters from Alexandria of the 24th June
state, that the Russian flag is still flying in that
harbour, and that the Russian Consul has no
idea of leaving. Even the capture of Constan-
tinople will not, it is said, change the situation
of affairs there. Nothing had been done with
regard to the blockade.

According to a letter from Moahnein, it is
said that the finest timber was selling almost for
nothing, in order that the amount of the instal-
ments due might be paid according to the treaty.
This shows good faith, at least, on the part of
the Burmese. Every thing was tranquil.

Bombay Papers have been received to the
18th of February, but they contain no news of
the slightest interest.

They write from Marseilles of the 21st July,
it is now three days since we have had any com-
munication with Nice. The King of SARDI-
NIA has established a Cordon Sanitaire the whole
length of the Var, preventing all persons coming
from France into his Country. We do not know
the cause of this measure, as no epidemic disease
prevails in our country.

The panic which prevailed in the early part of the

per cent., and have been fluctuating during the
morning between 86i and 87,1 for the Account, at pre.

sellers. The reports which caused the above fall in
the market were numerous, such as seven sail of the

Teneriffe; the French Loan going to be increased to
12 millions instead of four millions; Mr. Peel and
the King had a quarrel ; a Spanish army going to
enter Portugal.

Letters have been received with the French Funds
leaving off prices of Tuesday at 71f. 70c. This is
owing to its being settling day at Paris ; and a Bull

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS lAN.)

BOW-STREET.

A wretched-looking elderly coach-cad sort of beingo
named Edmonds, was brought up by Mr. Thomas, the'
constable, charged by the coachman of E. Rose, Nei. with
being either principal or accessary to the abduction of ar.
boa-coat from the coach of the afore Said Mr. Rose.

The Complainant, after sundry wry faces, inti-
mated that he was last night waiting for his master's party
at the English Opera House, when the defendant very
civilly asked him if he did not want something to drink.
Witness certainly at that time felt an inclination to moisten
his clay, and on the other offering to hold his horses, and
still more to be answerable for the property to the amount
of a hundred pounds, he wery willingly availed himself of
his politeness.

Edmonds, who had been fidgetty for some time, here in-
terrupted, with " Now I only offered to be answerable
for fifty."
Sir R.BIRNIE observed, that "fifty" seemed a round sum
fer a man whose clothes seemed worth less than that number
of farthings. Edmonds, however, looked quite of a different%
opinion, and exclaimed, " I beg your pardon, yeut Won,
ship ; I am a very independent man; and though you nmy
like your sitivation, I like mine, and like to earn .an honest
penny and hamuse myself as you do. .I pays sixty a
year rent, and thirty taxes.
Sir 81CH.% itn smiled at the comparison, and the coach-
man resumed his tale.—He had hardly got a pint of porter
to his lips, when Edmonds called out, in a solemn tone--...
" Hollos, coachman, your coat's movie off." Witness,
however, being unwilling to leave the porter, and think,
ing that the cad was larking him, finished his draught,
and found that his coat had moved off in good earnest.—
The cad, of course, saw only the coat, and could s&
leave the house to look after the thief, as be area
afraid they would also be " movin off." The cock-
man called in the aid of Mr. Thomas, who assisted
the wery independent man" to the watch-house.
Mr. T. now hinted that Edmonds knew the thief.
The latter, however, could not be made conscious
of such knowledge, but by way, we suppose, of
making sonic amends to the coachman, he promised never
to earn an honest penny near the English Opera House
again. After some vain efforts to find out the thief
Edwards learned with great satisfaction that he might
move off too.

extracts from Dooms'•day Book, conveying the property and

iu deeds of a very recent date.
