EDINTBURGII—On Monday, the 15th inst., the St. Andrew's
Chapter of Royal Arch Masons was consecrated. After the
Consecration, the Chapter, together with Deputations of
Brethren from the neighbourhood, walked in procession to the
Town Church, where the R 67. Dr. Lee preached an eloquent
and appropriate discourse.

WALES.
MuronD.--7,tVe reg,ret to find that the Lord of the Manor

'as claimed the stone on which his Majesty, the Grand Patron

of the Order, first placed his foot at Milford,and that the Lodge
in which it had been deposited have been obliged, most reluc7
tantly of course, to surrender it to him. We know not who the
Lord of the Manor is, nor what exclusive right he may have
to the stones on the water side, but it seems to us that the ex-

ercise of that right, whatever it may be, on this occasion is most
selfish and indiscreet, and that he would best have evinced his
loyalty and attachment to his. Majesty by permitting this stone
to remain in the Lodge where it had first been deposited, and
where its genuineness and authentieity'Would have been most

satisfactorily preserved, and would for ages to come have per-
petuated the recollection of the visit of a Prince whose zealous
attachment to the Order, and unwearied endeavours to promote
its welfare and prosperity, whilst he presided over it as Grand
Master, most justly endear him to every member of the frater-

pity. As to the stone, in its present custody its genuineness
fifty years hence will, anti reasonably may, be disputed.—
We can only add that we shall be very glad to be informed
what right Lords of the Manor have to the stones of piers
which may happen to be erected within their manors. It is a
right of which we have never yet heard.

MASONIC ANTIQUITIES.
ANCIENT MASONIC COINS.—We have been favoured by
a friend, who has very lately arrived from India, with an ac-
count of some Masonic Coins found a short time before his de-
parture, by a Gentleman who has long been employed in col-
lecting, with much labour, and at considerable expence, a re-
gular series of Mahomedan coins, froth the earliest era of the
entrance of the followers of Mahomet into Hindostan down
to the present period, a collection which, we understand, he has
at length completed, and which consists of upwards of 1000
coins, regularly arranged, with the names of the Kings, the
year of the liejira, and the corresponding Christian /Era.

The account which we received from our friend alludes to
so interesting an incident that we cannot deny ourselves the
pleasure of presenting it to our brethren in the same form that
it reached us, and we are quite sure that the discovery of the
coins will not be more pleasing to them than the relation of a
fact which must demonstrate and prove to the uninstructed
world the extensive influence of the principles of our Order,
which in a sequestered spot, in Africa, many hundred miles
distant from human habitation, secured to an unprotected tra-
veller the kindest offices of hospitality, and the most friendly
and important assistance. lie. writes as follows :—" I have
lately been much gratified by a curious discovery. A few days
ago, a Suraff, from whom I occasionally procure coins, fur-
nished me with several, each about the size of an eight anna
piece, and of a composition apparently containing silver and
copper. Each of the coins is distinctly impressed with some of
the emblems of Freemasonry. On one is the level, and be-
neath a kind of spear, below which are two pillars, with a
square object or chest between them. On the reverse is a
square, and an ancient Sanscrit letter—the other figures are
unknown. On another is a piltni6, and below it the spear and
pillars, &c. On a third, the square is most distinct. There
are no characters, with the exception of the large one just
now mentioned, in ancient Dena-nagree. I have not been able
to obtain any account of their history, or where they were
found. They are evidently very ancient and appear to have
been in circulation. Moorcroft, in his journal of an
excursion to Lake Manasarona, mentions having met with
a native, upon whose garments were sewed the insignia
of Freemasonry. The Freemasons have often been accused
of being descendants of the Manicheans ; and Wilford, in
his learned essay (Asiatic Researches, vol. ix. p. 212), proves
that 31anicheans formerly existed in the neighbourhood of
Delhe6, and other parts of the Upper Provinces. On refer-

ence to the Encyclopedia Britannica, you will find it mentioned

that the'lllanieheans made use of amulets, and professed astro-
nomy and astrology, which, with the circumstance mentioned

by Moorcroft, forcibly recalg to my recollection an occurrence

that happened to me many years ago. Overwhelmed with a
calamity which, at an early period of my life, induced me to
penetrate the most savage wilds of Africa, alone, and wander-
ing at a distance of some hundred miles from any human habi-
tation, at length I sunk down exhausted with hunger and
fatigue. On awaking from a trance, or sleep, the duration of
which I had no means of asetertaining, to my astonishment I
beheld a venerable old man, Whom, from his dress, I recognized
as belonging to the nation of Foulabs, but whose features and
language were Arabian, leaning over me, and in the act of at-
taching to my neck a string of coral heads, to which were joined
at intervals several gold and ivory ornaments, consisting of a
tortoise, a pyramid, a full moon, a crescent, seven stars, a lee, 1
with a small gold weight, a model of a temple in ivory, a sword,
and a dove with extended wings. Such an appaiition, in the
midst of such a solitude, and under such circumstances, ho-
pressed me with an idea of something supernatural. It may be
sufficient to remark, without relating at length the events which
followed, that this venerable figure.cxplained to me in themost
afi'acting manner the meaning attached to the different symbols,
varying their exemplification according to the various occur-
rences of human life. He sometimes placed the full and win-
ing moon at opposite extremities of the keel, with. the pyramid
in the centre ; thus seeming to inculcate that the full and wane
of luuoian happiness were to he borne with the same tummy-
ing sequanannitya and our only hopes directed towards that point
to which the summit of the pyramid aspired. Whether this
man was a Manichean, or whether he was a Freemason, I am
ineonnetent to decide—to me he was a guardian and beneficent
angel."
We have no hesitation in stating it to be our firm convictic n
that this venerable personage was a Freemason, in which wq

ever] brother, On perusing the Statement
which we have just given, will coincide. The individual men=
tinned by Moorcroft as having his garment decorated with
masonic insignia undotibtedly was a member of the Frater-
nity. Moorcroft's account is as follows :—(Sec the Asiatic
Journal, No. 29, for Nlay 1818, p. 455.)
" This morning the Nerba came to take leave of us, and as
his behaviour had been mn;formly atifative, I was desirous of
shewing him that we were sensible of it, and accordingly gave
him a double bladed-knife and my sword. The latter was in
fact no great gift, as it was bought at Najidabad for three ru-
pees, and was intended solely for the journey. He was, how- _
ever, highly pleased with the compliment. His name was
Thar-chand ; and he said, that he was in the suite of the
Wazir, and should accompany him to Lassa. He wore a pend-
ant in one ear, in which along with rows of small torquoises,
the never-failing ornament of this part, was a large irregular
pearl, such as are in high request in this country, on account
of their size. These I understand are brought to Calcutta in
considerable numbers during the rainy season, from the Lacka-
dive Islands, and sold at a very easy rate. The Nerba's outer
garment was woollen, of green, red, blue, and yellow narrow
stripes manufactured at Guinah ; under this were four other
garments; and both men and women constantly load them-
selves with several vests to prevent suffering from the cold.—
On the back of this habit, and on the right shoulder, were
sewed the saw, adze, chissel, rule, and all the insignia of. Fre-
emasonry in iron; the symbols of a fraternity of which he
said lie was a member."

With regard to the charge of our fraternity being descended
f:om the )lanicheans, a sect of ancient heretics, we do not re-
collect to have heard it before; but if it is founded on no bet-

ter ;;rounds than that of the Manicheans using amulets and
professing astronomy and astrology, we believe there are few
who can think it necessary for us to enter into any refutation of
it. This heresy arose' about the year 277 after Christ._lt
consisted of a motley mixture of the tenets of Christianity with

he ancient philosophy of the Persians. Weil informed Bre-

thren know that we have the clearest evidence of a much earlier
existence of Freemasonry than the year 277, and there .;-e noe
so ignorant as not to know that it is, and ever has been, a fun-
damental principle of the Order to unite men of every sect,
country, and opinion in one great plan, the glory of God, and

the good of mankind, without reference to distinctions of religious
faith, and that religious controversy is most strongly exchided
from our assemblies ; and that it must therefore be impossil le
that we have, or ever had, any connection with a set of wild anti
violent fanatics.

SOLED] QUIS DICERB FALSUM AUDEAT3

LONDON,
THUR,SDAY, OCTOBER 25,1821.

We received this morning the French Papers
of Sunday and Monday, from which we give ex'
tracts under the usual head of Foreign Inter

gen ce.

The few articles which relate to the
question between Turkey and Russia are of s
warlike character; the most remarkable of which is
one from the Banks of the Vistula, which says, the
Emperor ALEXANDER is resolved not to permit any
of the Foreign Powers tointerfere in the differences
between Russia and the Porte, and that his de-
termination with respect to them is,
like the
laws of the Medes and Persians, immutable'
What that determination may be is not stated
and it then adds, that if it should be his Imperial
MAJESTY'S intention to attack Turkey, not all
the efforts of the whole of Europe shall prevent
him from executing his design. The military forces
the EMPEROR has assembled to meet such a con'
tingency are represented to be extraordinarily
and in the highest state of equiprocilt ;
and we have little doubt that whenever they are
al
brought into action they will be found to 13e
that character, and to subdue all opposition. Vie
period is not, we apprehend, far distant when t
may suit the views of Russia to put an end t°
the present lingering negociations, and to orn#
mence hostilities age.inst the Turks.

(From a Philadelphia Paper, of the 16th September.)
Mexico.---The news frem Mexico contained
in our Paper to-day, is uncommonly interest-
ing, as it gives good reason for believing, that
the independence of this highly favoured coun-
try is about to be completely established. Vera
Cruz was the only place that held out, and
this it was expeCted would soon fall into the
hands of the independents. The conduct of
D'Donoju, the Captain General sent from the
Havana, evinces that Spain is unable to re-es-

ablish its authority. He issues his Proclaim-
.
non, exhorting,the Mexicans to terminate their
dissentious, and return to the dominion of
Spain ; promising however, that if his arrange-
meats to place them on an equal footing with
the mother country failed, " be would, at the
east signal, leave them to chase, unmolested, the
IChief who might be agreeable to them."—
This clearly proves, that the Viceroy feels his
inability to re-establish the authority of Spain, and
that the period is not very remote when Mexico
may demand of Spain the recognition of its NA..
TT °NAL INDEPENDENCE.

People against every Ministry that rises, puts one in mind of
those Carthaginian Armies, which being at once cowardly and
insolent, ran away at sight of an enemy, and then crucified
heir General because he did not gain the victory !"—Estimate
of the Manners and Principles of the limes.-1757.
In the lack of interesting pOlitical intelligence,
both foreign and domestic, it would be useful if
all parties and all persons were to devote some
attention to the characteristic Principles of the
Times in which we live. Patriotism is in the
mouth of every one. All parties profess an
earnest desire to serve their country. On the
surface there appears to be no difference amongst
them but as to the best means.by which the pub-
lic welfare may be promoted. But there are too
many reasons for suspecting that there is very
little genuine patriotism amongst us. There is
not any one measure, or principle, or system, on
which the people are found to agree. If we were
ail influenced by a sincere desire, not to serve par-
ticular views, but really to serve our country, it
would be strange indeed if we were not on some,
naY on most, occasions agreed. It is to be feared
that the spirit by which the people are actuated is
not National Spirit, but the spirit of Faction and
tifisliness, in various forms and modifications.--
Each Party has formed for itself a circle, as it
:were,
W hick it will neither leave for a moment
itself,
nor allow others-to penetrate. Any one
Df them would perhaps endeavour to advance the
general good ; but it must be allowed to do so
*ntirely in its own way, or it will not do it at all.
It will neither give assistance to the other, nor re-
ceive assistance from them. It is guilty of something
worse than even culpable indifference to- bene-
ficial measures which do not originate with
It exerts itself unceasingly to counter-
act them; and this perverse spirit of opposition
is strong and active in proportion to the power
which the other party or parties have of render-
ing wise and salutary meantres extensive and per-
manent. There is 46 an eternal clamour from a
factious and selfish people."—Accurate observers
have remarked this in all ages, in free states,
whatever might be the prevailing party and prin-
ciples in its government. it may not be so
necessary, at present, to inquire into the causes
of this mischievous propensity te; dissatisfaction,
as it is to be convinced of the factitself. If there
be a factious spirit of opposition, on the one hand,
let us take care
.to free and preserve ourselves
f roma spirit of factious tenacity on the other, which
rejectsell improVements that do not originate with
nur own Firty,and which clings even to the errors of
the system which itdesires to support for its utility.
. One faction is incapable of guarding itself, or
the state, from the designs of another faction ;
Much less is it capable of subduing that spirit of
Faction which has always appeared in every
cc'untry possessing a considerable portion of
freedom,l It is by an union of men under the in-
-'4ence of a teue Public or National Spirit,
alone, that the general welfare can be maintain-

served and promoted.

The following extract from The Kilkenny
Moderator, shews that the infuriate spirit has
branched in another direction :—" On Sunday
se'nnight, the house of George Greene, Esq., of
Littlebridge, near Cappoquin, in the county of
Waterford, was robbed by five armed men
who entered through the kitchen window, from
which they deliberately removed a large pane of
glass. They demanded arms and money, and,
we regret to say, obtained both, which they
carried off, together with a large quaptity of
men and women's wearing apparel. The arms con-
sisted of two bayonets and two swords. On en-
tering the room of Mr. C reene's brother, who
was the only man in the house, one of the ban-
ditti fired at him, and lodged three slugs in his
shoulder and arm ; buti the wounds, most fortu-
nately, were all flesh ones. The gua was dis-
charged so near him that the wadding set fire
to his shirt. One of the attacking party was lame,
and appeared peculiarly ferocious, Another of
the miscreants, however, was very kind to Miss
Greene, who was compelled to accompany the
party through the entire house, and open the
drawers in which it was supposed money' had
been deposited.—Some of the assailants were
lately liberated from Clonmel gaol. Mr. Fitz-
maurice, of Cappoquin, with his usual alertness and
determination, went in search of the robbers, as
soon as he heard of their nefarious burglary ;
with what success we have not yet heard."

SUICIDE.-Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest was
held at the Board Room of the Rolls (Liberty)
Workhouse, near Chancery-lane, upon the body
of Wm: Clifton, who was about 19 years old,
and who terminated his own existence by poison.
It appearet! on the evidence as adduced to the
Coroner (T. STIRLING, Esq.), that on the after-
noon of Monday last, the deceased had attended
the funeral of a person at St. Clement Danes
Church, who also bad poisoned himself, in
llolles-street, near Clare-market, the Monday
before, owing to derangement of intellect ; and
that, after the funeral was over, the deceased,
in the present case, mired with his accustomed
friends, upon which, after shaking hands gene-
rally, he took leave of them, saying at the same
time that he had done something they would be
surprised at, and would see him no more. The de-
ceased then returned home to his mother in Swan-
yard, White's-alley, Chancery-lane, soon after
which he was attacked by violen( pains, attended
with vomiting; when be stretched himself on the
bed,and calling his mother, told the latter that upon
his return from the funeral he bad purchased a
pennyworth of arsenic at a chemist's shop, which
he bad eaten out of the paper as he walked along.
The deceased assigned no cause for the act ; but
the circumstance of having attended the funeral,
together with the observations of the persons as-
sembled to witness the interment, had worked
ou his brain in a manner he could not account
for. Mr. OwErf, a medical gentleman, in Chan-
cery-lane, administered a strong emetic, but altho'
it operated very powerfully it had no effect, as the
deceased expired in great agony about an hour
after. The Jury returned a Verdict-46 That
the deceased poisoned himself in a fit of derange-
ment."

Mrs. GARRICK.—A friend was condoling with
this venerable Lady on 'the loss of her excellent
husband, when the latter said, " he never was a
husband to me." The friend testified great sur-
prise at so unexpected a declaration, but Mrs.
GARRICK added immediately, " for during the
thirty years that we were married he always re-
mained any lover." _

AN AMUSING PUN OF Tilt' LATE MR. CURRAN.
—A Mr. Hu osoN,who had made a large fortune as
a tooth draz,:er, had built a very expensive coun-
try-house close to Mr. CualtAN's at Rathfarn-
ham, near Dublin, but of such an extraordinary
construction as to bid defiance to the criticism of
the architect. One day after dinner at Mr.
CURRAN'S. this singular mansion became a sub-
ject of merriment for his guests. The question
for their satirical inquiry was, 64 What was its
order of architecture i" One said, Oh it cer-
tainly was Grecian ; another contended it was
Saxon, and a third that it was Oriental ; when
their host, with his usual vivacity, and
superiority of wit, thus interposed :—" Ex-
cuse me, Gentlemen," said he " you are all
wrong—it is Task-an!" From the irregularities
of this mansion, and from its proprietor being a
dentist, the I iish call it " Straggle-tooth Hall."
Mr. SAMUEL Wr.stxv, it seems, is a Candidate
for the office of Organist to the new Church at
St. Pancras. The abilities of this gentleman have
been so long known, and particularly his admi-
rable skill ou the Organ, that we conceive he is
not likely to encounter any formidable com-
petition.
