to the great satisfaction oft he inhabitants of the Prussian Pro»

laws, the Commissioners propose a revision of them, which

The public journals contain A representation of the Mu-
nicipality of the capital city of Hildburghausen, to his
Higill!ess the Duke, ;.'n which 'we find the following pas-
sages It seemed to all of us impossible that the fattier
would leave the children, who have lived through many
Years of difficulty with him, just at the moment when
better times may be hoped for. The greater and mere
general was the consternation and grief of all the inha-
bitants of this city, when a few days ago a report was
spread to the effect, that if not certain, it was highly pro-
bable that the principality of Hildburghausen would be
ceded, and the city cease to be the regidence of the
Prince. We know very well that the arguments which we
have to allege in our favour, are frequently regarded as of
no weight in the scale in which the fates of nations are
weighed. But 'here, where in one scale, there is perhaps
only a handfe.l of subjects more, or a more convenient
mode of partition, and on the other a whole innocent city
and its en:l-irons which :will be for ever ruined ; when no
war, no inexorable fate commands such a hard measure,
we may surely hope and beg, that your Highness will not
abandon the country which providence has confided to
your Highness's paternal care, and will not suffer those
who are less able to bear such a misfortune than any other
city, shall become the victims of circumstances." In ex-
planation, of the above article, it is to be observed, that
accordbg to a report in circulation, the Duke of Hilden,
hausen will in future take up his residence in the beauti-
ful town of Altenburg.

The Frankfort Journal of the 21st inst. which has
reached us this morning, contains the following ar-
ticle, under date of Rome, Bth July, taken from the
Diario de Roma, which gives a more favourable re-
port of the remaining resources of the Greeks:—

ROME, JULY 8.
Accounts from Corfit of 26th June, by express, say,
that " Ibrahim Pacha, after having made himself muter
of Calavrita, sent 4,0;)0 men to besiege Megaspileo, and
went with the commander of his troops towards Tripolizza.
Some days aftemards the monastery of Megaspileo fell
into his power ; and it is affirmed, that it contained great
riches,and the treasure of the Morea. Ibrahim Pacha s co-
lumn halted: at Tripolizza. Letters affirm, that he is himself
ut:lVfodon, waiting for the 6th expedition from Egypt.
" Yn the interval the Government are engaged in Collect-
ing all their forces. Col. Gordon has the command of
a!oput 5,000 men, Col. Fabvier has about 3,000, and. Co-
)oeotroni is doing his utmost to collect 12,000. He has
the, chief command of all this army. This number does
not include the garrison of the fortresses which are in the
possession of the Greeks. There are Napoli di Romania,
Napoli 'di MalvOnia, Argos, Corinth, Salomis, Athens,
and Brosin. Exertions are also making to supply them
with provisions turn ammunition. On the Ist of this
month, it was calculated that about five millions pounds of
flour and biscuit had been received at Napoli di Romania.
Three Av.strian vessels, coming out of the Gulf of Le-
panto, were stopped a few days ago by a Greek pirate,
who took them to Cheavenza. On their arrival, the pirate
put every thing.he could on board the largest of the ves-
sels, •and released the two others, after having maltreated
the crews. He then went with his booty to Maina.
This same pirate likewise attempted to take an Austrian
polacre, but the latte4armed with eight guns, defended
itself, and fired some rounds of grape-shot, which killed
three of the Greeks, and 'wounded six.

It is said that the Austrian Minister at Madrid, has
positively declared to the diplomatic corps, that the
Emperor will never consent to the establishment of the
new Constitution of Portugal.

The letters which we lately stated as having been
xeceived from, Bombay to the Bth March, state the
death of the.. celebrated native merchant Hamajee
Bomajee, who; it is supposed, died worth two mil-
lions sterlink.. These letters are said to have been
taken by Kajor Kinnair, resident in Persia, to Teke-
ran, from whetted they were forwarded in regular
Counteto England.

We understand that a Deputation, composed of se=.
vend persons of respectability from Birmingham, have
arrived in town, and are to have an audience of Lord
Li vERPOOI. and Mr. PEEL, by appointment, this
day. The object of this deputation is to submit to
His Majesty's Ministers a statement of the distress
which exists in the Manufacturing Districts, and the,
opinion of the principal persons in those Districts as
to the cause of it, and its. probably consequences un-
less the .Geivernment afford. some relief. It is said,
also, that a meeting is to be held' this evening _ the _
unemployed Weavers of SPitalfields,Tor the purpose of
petitioning the assistance of Government.
In what
way, either of. these parties expect that Ministers can
afford immediate relief, . has not transpired: nor, has
any plan yet beep suggested by which it can be granted,
except. by assessing part of the Poor hates of
•.
the districts in question upon less distressed parts
(/f the Country, and the employMent 'on Pub.',

~of the hands not likely to be again
engaged in the Manufactories. Partial relief to the
Master Manufacturers, by tile additional facility which
may he afforded to them of getting their bills discounted
through the Ilinch Banks of the Bank of England to be
established in certain places, may certainly be given ;
hut we do not conceive that this can do much, because
although the want of capital may have been the cause
of many establishinents discharging their workmen,
easier means bf 'obtaining the use of capital will not
induce them to re-engage their men, until a market
foi. the sale of the articles they may produce be open
to them: This can only be the effect of
time; and, there-
fore, in that respect the measure of the Bank cannot pro-
duce ally material 'alleviation of the present distress of
the manufacturing districts. It is thought also by many
persons of the greatest experience in Banking concerns
that the experiment 'of the Branch Banks cannot sue_
teed and that the losses to which they will render the
Bank liable, will prevent the establishment of any ex-
tensile nurrtibcr of them. 1 -
...'hose persons argue that the
pollen! pigvate Banks which' persons
present exist in Man-
chester, Birming4m, and such places, already afford all
the manufacturers whose credit is good, as much accom.

these Branch Banks are to discount more extensively
and at unusually long dates, the result must he most
