raised the candle a little, and at that moment saw
a man pass her and make towards the door. Site

heard his •wife call for assistance, and went to

LONDON JOURNALS.

FROM TEIF, MORNING' PAPER` OF T:IN DAY.

[Morning Chronicle

The following is an extract of a letter from Ge-
noa, dated 10th inst.:—
" Several vessels have arrived here since the 3d
inst. from different parts of the Coast of Spain,
but they do not seem to confirm the report which
has been circulated of a rupture between the Al-
gerines and Spain."
London, England, 1819-07-23

[Morning Post.]

It is stated, on the authority of private letters
from Spain, that further changes are about to be
made in the Ministry of that Country. One letter
states, that M. de Cevallos is likely to be the suc-
cessor of Casa d'Erujo, but that " the Monks of
Ilse Escurial, who have accumulated. enormous
fortunes, their numbers having diminished whilst
their revenues increased, have offered to the Go-
vernment a sum of 30 millions of reals, on condi-
tion of M. de Cevallos being excluded from any
share in the Government, and of themselves he.
ing consulted as to the formation of the Cabi-
net." The wealth of these Monks has long been
considered as very great ; but we confess we were
not prepared to hear of their revenues having in-
creased, it being. generally understood that their
estates have,heen mnchdeterioratifd in consequence
of the late- war. These letters., also' state, that
the Cabinet of Madrid received the news of the
Foreign Enlistment Bill having passed in our Par-
liament with great coolness, and spread a report
that the British Ministry required the Cession of
Cuba as the price of this measure. This, how-
ever, we bold to be utterly unworthy of serious
attention.

FRANKFORT, Mallen T.—The execution of the OM-
cm dat. at Munich, continues to experience the greatett diffi-
culties; on account of the enormous endowments which the
two Archbishops require—six Bishops, eight Priers, eight.
Deans of Chapter, ,sixty-eight Canons, forty-eight Vicars,
with their Chapters, Semiisarics, and Provostships, 'esta-
blished by the .Concordat. The expence is sabred at two
hundred and seventy-three thousand florins, without includ-
ing- the purchase, as well as the keeping.up of Douses. The
Nuncio at Munich has caused fresh difficulties concerning the
Concordat. tire laid claim to the rank of an Ambassador of
the first rank, and has opposes! the Clergy tahing the Oath to
the Constitution. This difficulty has been a good deal
smoothened; but the principal obstacle is far from being re-
moved, on account of the Nuncio demanding the suppression
or the modification of some of the provisions of the Constitu-
tion, which, according to him, are contrary to the Concordat..
The Government will do neither."7(Joaxitul General de
Friznce.)
As it is not to be doubted that the POPE',
NUNCIO exactly obeys the commands of his Prin.
cipal, we can see what we may expect, if ever We
should be guilty of such folly as to suffer Papists
to have any share of Legislative Power. The
same Correspondent has referred ;us to the com-
ments on this extract from The Correspondent, a
Dublin Newspaper, which is conducted upon sound
loyal principles, and with great knowledge and
sagacity. These comments so exactly agree with
our own opinions on the subject, that we shall
transfer them to THE SUN. After bestowing
sntie judicious praise upon the theoretical perfec-
tions of the new Bavarian Constitution, the Edi-
tor very properly says—

",But, very great as those perfections are, and principally
in the ' reli%iutt.s liberty' which they insure to all Bavarians,
we should be glad to know why they have received no favour
fcir, the Pope's Nuncio—or, rather, we wish to 'mow, by
what right the Seed Rome presumes to quarrel with the fun-
damental civil principles of the Bavarian Government, and to
demand the suppression of some of its provisions, and the mo-
dification of others' We are daily assured, in Ireland, that
none brit Bigots, Slaves, or Intolerants, can suppose that the
See of Rome aims at any influence over civil or political affairs:
yet, this is asserted after' we have had the example of the
Papal Nuncio in Spain, a short time ago, to the contrary;
and in the t,eth of the existing fact, that all the alleged ex-
cellence of even the Bavarian Constitution, cannot protect•it
from the domineering pretensions of the Pope's Representa-
tive at Munich."

We shall be glad to hear what the shallow
Supporters of Catholic Emancipation, as it is false-
ly, tinjfistiy, nd'aburdly styled, can say in vindi-
cation of the ofTcious and presumptuous
obtrusion into, the political affairs of" another
State, and why in due time the Po should not
authorize him to meddle with the internal con-
cerns of this Country ?

SALIDiURT, AUGUST 3 —Mere 'nel4r"such
a contest recollected as here. Mr. nateatT was
a-heed 193 yesterday, which ensures him the
Election. There is great apprehension of serious
riots on Thursday, about Warminster, Frome,
and particularly Trowbridge, where there is to be
a fair held on that day. Every precaution is taken
to preserve the peace. A troop of Lancers, 16th,
are stationed at Trowbridge, with a squadron of
the North Wilts Yeomanry Cavalry, and the Bath
Rifle Cot ps. A troop of the 16th Liucers are
hear this t(v.vn, arid the North Somerset Yeo-
manly are detached in squadionS, in places so as
to give immediate assistance to the Civil Power.
So long as the Civil Power is aided by the Mili-
tary, it must ensure good order, but the one with.
lout the other is not competent to act with any

A CHARACTER.

In judgment differing, but in end the sameo
Britain's tine happiness. their common aim ;
Two, pasties for her Senate's rule contend,
Yet each their rival's and their country's friend.
The TORIES vindicate the regal crown;

Yet cast they ❑ot the Nation's freedom down
The Witt.ns assert the People's share of sway;
Yet cast they not the Monarch's rights away ;
Each to the Empire's cause their service bring,
Each, the firm friend of People and of King.

But what account we Him, who stands alone
Whom Tories own not, and whom Whigs disown?—
By each distrusted, and by each disdain'd,
No rival bath he raised, no partner gain`d;
By each rejected, and by each denied,
He seems the outcast scorn of either side.
Each from the other would avert his blow,
But neither grace him as a friend or foe.
The Tories spurn him—for his rebel hate
Still labonrs to e'erturci the Monarch's state
The Whigs abjure him—for his wild career
Would shake the People from their proper sphere.
The Tories deem him not a Whig ;—because
He for the Empire seeks unequal laws:
The Whigs account him not a Tory ;—for
Against the Throne he wages ceaseless war.

Such " moderation" is his "glory's" place;
Its fruit—distrust, defiance, and disgrace;—
His friendship fear'd, his hate desired, by all :
How shall we name this wan ?—A RADICAL.
JONATHAN.

" In the present alarming state of the country,
when under the mask of reform, seditious and
blasphemous doctrines are industrioully propa-
gated, with a view to the subversion of our reli-
gion and governmeut, we feel it incumbent upon
us publicly to express our determioation to aid
and support to the best of our abilities, such
measures as may be found necessary for the
security of the public traequillity, We' consi-•
der it as the bounden duty of the loyal and well
affected of every class of the community, strenu-
ously to exert, themselves in averting hum this fa-
voured land those dreadful calamities and revolu-
tionary horrors, which have recently been expe-
rienced in a neighbouring country. IVe, there-
fore, trust that such measures will be adopted as
may effectually arrest the progress of that spirit
of irreligion and insubordination, which, unless it
be promptly any vigorously expteSsed, must ulti-
mately lead to the dtstruction of the most perfect
form of Government ever framed, by human wis-
dom, for the protection of the lives, the liberties,
and property of the subject. While we avow our
detestation rind abhorrence of disloyalty and irre-
ligion, we also pledge ourselves, collectively and
individually, dist no exertion shall be wanting on
our part to protect our Civil wit! Religious Insti-
tutions from insult and violation, and to secure
to ourselves and out posterity those inestimable
blessings which we have so long enjoyed under
our. unrivalled constitution."

The abovti loyal Declaration, after being signed
by the Lord Bishop of Ely, as Lord of the Royal
Franchise, has Lib() received several hundred other
respectable signatures.

The Devon County Loyal Declaration was sent
off front hence (Exeter) per Mail, to the Secre-
tary of State's Office, on Sunday morning last.—
The sheets of parchment, when joined together,
measured 53 feet in length, by 2 feet 8 inches in
width, and contained the signatures of about
Seven Thousand Freeholders. . _

The following Letter has been received from
Lord Sidmoutli, his Majesty's Secretary of State
cur the Home Department, in answer to the De-
claration of the Loyal Inhabitants and Residents
at Dawlndr, transmitted to his Lordship :--
Whitehall, Nov. 17, 1819.
Stn—l have had the honour to lay before his Royal High-
ness the Prince Regent, the Declaration transmitted in your
Letter, of the Inhabitants and Residents of Dawlish. And I
am to acquaint you,, that his Royal Highness is much gratifi-

COLLEGE MUSEUM, EDINBURGH.

We have great pleasure in informing our Readers
that since our last report, numerous valuable dons.
tions have been received by Professor JAMasoN for
the University Museum. The following list has
been communicated to us :
I. Collection of Minerals from North Ameri•
ca, presented by Lady Dalhousie.
2. Animals of Ireland, presented by Sir George
Stewart Mackenzie. _ _

3. Animals collected in Baffin's Bay, by Capt.
Ross ; also from Capt. Rosa, the sledge and dress
of the late Sacchense, the Esquimau%) who ac-
companied the Baffin's Bay expedition as inter-
preter.
4. Corals and minerals, collected in the 83.
hamas by Admiral Sir David Milne, and by him
presented to the Museum. The corals are un-
rivalled in magnitude and beauty; it is believed
they are the most splendid specimens which have
hitherto been brought to Europe. Along with
the minerals there are several colossal stalaitites,
one in particular is calculated to weigh five tons.
5. Collection of ores and minerals from the
island of Elba, presented to the Museum by Prin-
cipal Baird, from a Gentlemtin in Elba.

peds, presented by Sir James Macgregor, Chief of
the Medical Board.

sented by Sir Robert Abercroniby.—(Edinburgh
Courant, Nov 22.)

EXECUTION.—Thin morning the following four
unfortunate criminals were executed before the
Debtors' Door, Newgate :—Thomas Fonsick, for
forging a will, purporting to be the last will and
testament of William Anderson, late a seaman on
board the Batavia, Indianian, with intent to de-
fraud Messrs. Buckle and Co. ; John Henley,
Henry Lovell, and Edward Cassidy, for highway
robberies at West End Fair, under circumstances
of peculiar aggravation and atrocity. A few mi-
nutes before eight, the unfortunate men ascended
the fatal platform (attended by the Rev. Mr.
COTTON and two other Clergymen), and con-
ducted themselves with decency, and appeared
resigned to their fate. A short time having been
spent in prayer, the drop fell, and they were
launched into eternity. Fonsick was a Portu-
guese Jew, and had been in this country near
thirty-five years ; the other three were young
men, hut had been long known as old offenders.
Some circumstances of a favourable nature having
transpired respecting Fletcher, he was respited, at
a late hour last night, till Wednesday next.—The
crowd was immense.

KENT I: LET.TION.
The (Old) Times, or self slyled Leading Journal
of Europe, which has now become as notorious
for its misrepresentations as it has fur its hostility
, to every measure of Goverurnetu, in rejorting•[lle
proceedings at the Kent Election yesterday,-has
thought proper ►o state, " that it was intended to
have introduced a Loyal Declaration relative to
the Proceedings at Manchester, but that those
who had it in contemplation were intimidated from
so doing, by the strong muster of the opponents
to such a measure." Now, Sir, a more ridiculous
or absurd idea could not have been imagined than
this ; for I am certain that no such proceeding was
ever thought of, and if a eeclaration of that na-
ture had been brought forward, the Radicals
would certainly have been beat al hollow ; tor
where there was one of them, there was teir

true f,ie►►ds to the Constitution. Although the
weather was particularly unfavourable, yet I be-
lieve a more loyal Meeting sTat never assembled
on that Heath, and it WAS generally remarked that
the Shire- House was never remembered to have

been attended by so tri3tly PIRST•RATE HMI OPU-

THE RADICAL TOOTII-DRAWER.

Ile Is barn with teeth !
And so I was—which plainly signified,
That 1 should anuri, and ode, and play the Dog.

This is to give notice, that Lieutenant GREENOUGii'
In bis Maje,ty's service no more will he sten now;
That no inore-lo the London Light Horse be will prance it,
But lay down the lanes, and return to the lancet.

In the cause of the Crown I will handle no sabre,
But tug at the teeth of illy radical Nailibiint ;
Who sloes nothing—vow. fellow I—hut carry him plots ony
As honest as Hvar, and as loyal as WitTso.v.

At drawing a sword, I am clumsy, in truth ;-
But no one is neater at drawing a tooth;
To the mmith of my patients, I put in my paw,
Though I never was famous at hoJdiag thy jaw.

Tin. Ministers—they are mere grinders, I doubt 'em
So the Radicals must have their eye-leeth about 'cm ;
I can ciea❑ their foulmouths, as Shall plainly be shown
Ily the pains 1 have taken in cleaning my owe.

My sword I will never slim out of its sheath,
Hut limit my valour to showing my teeth ;
as with my own I so closely have linled your
Rights, won't you, dear Radicals, buy my Tooth Tincture ?

'Twill whiten the fangs of each Radical fighter ;
Not King HARRY the Ninth's White Hat shall be whiter
And Hawn,' and I will brash off together,
For our Radical courage has shewn the white feather.

Then buy tip wy Tincture, that fenious invention !
The wonders it works are too tedious to meution
And of each scurvy Radical who for it comes,
'Twill the scurvy eradicate out of his gums.

Now off with ray sash !—and henceforth I'll be seen,
Since Citt:Exouctes my name, in a ribbon of grecu ;
And the London Light Horse, when they turn out to fight,
Shall find, that the Dentist has turn'd out A BITE.

His MAJBSTr.--A report, arising, we hope,
from a paragraph in a Morning Paper, prevailed
this day, stating that an event which must be de-
plored even under the present slate of our be-
loved Sovereign, had taken place, an event tb.4l,
however it might be a relief to himself, would
nevertheless be a subject of affliction to his af-
fectionate People.

We received this mottling the Paris Papers of
Tuesday last. The following are extracts :
PARIS, Nov. 16.—The King transacted busi•
Hess yesterday with the Marquess Dessolles, and
received Ladies in the evening. The Archbishop
of Rotten, the Bishops of Trevaux, Anton, and
Poitiers, took leave of his Majesty setting out
for their respective Sees.
" It is worthy of remark, that the Connt De-
cazes appeared only for an instant on Sunday at
the reception by Monsieur and the Duke d'An-
gouleme. The audience which he had of the
Icing was also very short.—(Gazetie de France.)
" It is said that the Public Ministry have com-
menced proceedings against several Writers in
La Minerve and the Constitutionnel, wh,, are .
charged with exciting apprehensions respecting
the Stability of the property called National, by
publishing statements that this property will be
endangered by a change of Ministry, which de-
pends on the constitutional exercise of the King's
prerogative.—(lbia) •

" The case of Itil. Ducasse, responsible Editor
of The Drapeau Blanc, will come on for trial on
the 25th inst. It is thought, however, that a de-
lay will be requested for the purpose of giving F►p
the Author of the article which is the object of
-prosecution.

II A LF- PAY.

ELlTdti,—Observing in your Paper of
Wednesday last, the Circular issued from the War-
Office, and which has since appeared in the
Monthly Army List, published by authority, I
ant induced, as your Paper seems disposed to be-
stow particular attention on Military Affairs, to
trouble you with a few rematlis uPou the subject
in question. The Document contains very in-
teresting information to all concerned, but it can-
not so immediately reach the ❑otice of 11311-pay
Officers as it is manifestly intended to do, and
for this plain reason-L-any person May under-
take the Management of Half-pay, and if he
should not happen to be a 'regular Agent, ac-
knowledged at the IVar-OtEce, no Circular will
be sent to him, so that hundreds upon the Half-
Pay EstablishMent may remain ignorant of the
information intended for them.

It is farther to he observed, that as the names
of' all Halt-Pay Officers appear in the Official
Army Lists, the names of their Agents should
also be found in the same Publication ; not wily
for the reason just stated, but also for the security
and protection of each individual belonging ;to
the Half-Pay' Establishment. This arrangement
would, of course, bring them under the authority
of the Secretary at War, in the same manner as
Agents, intrusted with the management of Regi-
ments, are most properly placed.' The appoint-
ment of a regalar Army Agent rests with the Co-
lonel of the Regiment, as does likevirise the no-
inination of a PAy-master. An Agent is, in fact,
nothing more than the Colonel's clerk ; and if the
Colonel should not require ample security for the
trust reposed in that Clerk, he Well knows, that
not only himself, but his Heirs and .Assigns, &c.
are liable to THE CROWN. 'Against the irregulari-
ties of the Paymaster, ample prOVision is made by
an authority Tested in the. Secretary at War, to
demand sureties ; by which precaution neither the
Public nor the Colonel can 'suffcr.,,. 'Why, in one
instance, the Colonel should have the power of
appointing an Agent, (through whose hands mil-
lions may pass);. and not be required to produce
ample securPy, either on his own account, or.On
that,of his Clerk, when his Pay7master called
upon by the War-office to do so, seems a gross
anomaly in Military Finance. I am persuaded,
that not only Regimental Agents, but eren Prize
anti Half-Pay Agents should be so situated, as to
make them not only Public Accountants, giving
security, but strictly within the power and jurisdic-
tion of the Secretary at War ; and the name of
every Half-Pay Agent should appear in. the Official
Army List.
As this subject is highly interesting to the ser-
vice, if you should favour this letter with inser-
tion, I shall enter more deeply into it upon a fu-
ture occasion, and am, Sir yours,„
York Hotel, August 2. A HALF-PAY OFFICER.
