'WEYMOUTH, AUG. 6.—On Monday next, 13th instant'
in honour of the King's birth-day, the foundation stone of tile'
intended new bridge will be laid by Wm. WILLIAMS, Pq;
M.P. P.G.M. attended by the Masters, Wardens, Officers, and
Brethren of All Souls, and the respective Lodges in the ro•
vince, and many visiting Brethren from distant part 4 of thc•
country. The Masonic Procession will be accompanied by dic
Members of the Borough, the Mayor and Corporation/
Friendly Societies, &c. with their banners, preceded by the"
litary and other bands of music, and will altogether form a grsll,,,
and most imposing spectacle.—The Fraternity on that day. 7
he highly gratified to „see that the Masonic Hall of u.;.
-
town has been lately very much improved ; an elegant Vim!
tilator is placed in the centre of the ceiling ; the bull's ele
(which is three feet in diameter,) is gilded, and the
tures for ventilation are about two inches wide, formil4
within that space an equilateral triangle. Around this
plaster is the frieze, which, is composed of pomegranate,:
eleven inches wide—twelve rays emanate from the frieze ;
of them are about three feet six inches long, and of a serPelt-
form, beautifully arranged ; and the others are about half
length, and pointed, which produces a fine effect ; the diaree'
ter of the whole being about ten feet six inches. On the Orr
line are placed the twelve signs of the Zodiac, being olela;
tant from the point of each serpentine ray. There are 010 t•i;
round serpents, one placed east, and the other west, aboot,
feet from the ventilator. The ceiling is painted blue, °lc.
gives a very imposing appeaiance to the interior altogetilco;
but the greatest ornament and addition is the admirable
highly finished portrait of the Right Worshipful Wil-I°o
WILLIA3IS, Esq. M.P. P.G.M. for the county of Dorset,wil
is placed opposite the throne, enriched with a matt_ clef
frame of eleven feet by eight. It is one of the most corrcct.3l
state,
striking likenesses ever seen. He is sitting in a chair of ,3t'o,
arrayed in all the honourable medals of Masonic distirleti°o

amongst them may be particularly observed the costly elral
presented to him by the Brethren of the Grand Stela td
Lodge as their PAST MASTER, &c. The clothing and eve

Cossacks were rea4ly with their vossels to 0:ot.,
the passage of the river. The army of Get'

mntorF was rapidly marching to the frontiers
of Moldavia, and even the garrison left at St•
Petersburg, after the departure of the guards
from that capital, was on its way to the same
destination. The Greek Corps stationed in
UPPer Moldavia had retired before the Turks,
crossed the Pruth, and taken post on the Russian
territory, where it was well received. On the
side of Bessarabia four Russian divisions, belong-
ing to the army of Count WITTGENSTEIN, had
taken post, and the remainder of that army is
advancing to their support by forced marches.
The following are extracts relating to these in-
teresting events _

_ -
" ArrtxxA, Jt r.y g'6.—The force of the Turks in Moldavia
mounts at this moment to 60,000 men and 100 pieces of can-
tr°ll, /t is calculated that by means of the reinforcements
deh successively arrive, the Ottoman Army will be augment-
to 150,000 men. Jussuf Pacha, who commands in chief,
enakes no secret of his intention to pans the Pruth, and go to
attack C'hoczim, a strong fortress in Russian Moldavia, which
bas a numerous ganison. The Russians have encamped a re-
giment, with cannon, near Serleni. The Cossacks have assem-
bled their vessels near the right bank of the Pruth. Four Rus-
Can divisions have already arrived in Bessarabia. The other
Russian troops which were to have pile to Italy, and were
eantoned in Volhynia Podolta, and the Government of Kiew,
will soon arrive in Bessarabia. T:ils army is estimated
135,000 men. at

them, so that the Ottoman Army in that province will be con-
Ilcierab/e enough to sustain the first attack of the Russians. .
' Tile Greek corps which was stationed in Upper Moldavia,
teeilla so great a number of Turks arrive, hastened to pass the.
Prltth, whence it retreated into the Russian territory, where it
w'as well received. This circumstance is very remarkable, and
seems to haver o doubt of the disposition of the Court of Saint
Petersburgh. After the retreat of the Greeks the Turks ad-
of to the extreme frontier, where they have posted a corps
of 10 or 12,000 men, which observes several strong Rusting

14 us from knowing What was passing in the

•
empire of Mcirocto. It appears, however, that
important operations have taken place, and, ac _
cording to the latest intelligence, that Muley
Zeid having learned that his uncle Soliman
had prepared a fdrmidable expedition against him,
set out from New Fet with his troops, and hav-
ing defeated those of his Uncle took the whole
train of artillery, consisting of 16 caution, 3 mor-
tars, and a large quantity of ammunition. Muley
Zeid then entered New Fez with his army,
whence he intended to march the next week to
Tetuan and this district, doubtless to act against
Tangier and Capilla de Angliara, which remains
faithful to his Uncle.

cc CADIZ, JULY I.—On the I Ith of this
month the Consulate of this city addressed a re-
presentation to the Captain General, sheaving
the absolute necessity of sending some armed ves-
sels to protect the navigation of the coast against the
insurgent privateers which had come within sight of
the ramparts of the city. A few days before
the four Merchantmen arrived from the Havannah
and Vera Cruz the Brigantine Aquites returned
from its cruize, and on the gtb, when they ar-
rived, the Areihusa Corvette did the same ; so
that all that part of the coast was without pro-
tection ; and an enemy's brigantine having been
descried that morning, other vessels, expected
from America, arrived in the most imminent' dan-
ger. The Consulate, (or board of trade) there-
fore beg that some armed vessels be sent out to'
cover the coast, and drive away the corsairs.
The Captain General answered on the 13th, and
having stated the impossibility of complying with
the request, added tl:at the Pionta Frigate would
sail to-day, with a convoy, to the east of Canta-
bria, after which it would cruize off Cape St.
Vincent. The Diana Corvette was fitting out for
the same purpose.

" BARCELONA, Jur,s, 15.—Captain D. A.Sor-
rano, Counsel for D. George Besieres, appealed
from the sentence of death passed upon him by
the Court Martial, and approved of by the Cap-
tain General, because his-client, he said, ought
not to be tried by the Law of the 26th April;
and because of other informalities. The execu-
tion was in consequence suspended. We want
expressions to describe the enthusiasm which this
happy news produced in the city. D. G. Be-
sieres had shed his blood in the war for our in-
dependence, he participated in the attempt of the
heroic Lacy, he had greatly contributed in the
year 20 to the triumph of our Constitution; he is
the father of a family and a stranger. How many
reasons to interest a generous people ! a nation
which manifests such noble sentiments is worthy
of Liberty, and the high destinies to which it is
called by Providence.
" MADRID, JULY 26.—The diary of the pro-
ceedings at Cadiz, respecting the fatal events of
10th March, is now published. Our papers
begin to make sr;me extracts from this immense
body of evidence. His Majesty continues to
enjoy good health.—(llladrid Papers, July '26.)
cc LISBON, JULY 20. The decree of the
Cortes respecting the establishment of the civil list
is now published. The King's civil list is fixed
at 365,000,000 roes per annum, payable in two
equal instalments to the persons whom his Ma-
jesty shall appoint. The Palaces of A juda,
Alcantara, Maffra, Salvaterra, Vendas, Novas,
and Cintra are assigned for the habitation
and recreation of the King, with all their
appurtenances and dependencies. The reve-
nues of the House of Bragauza will- be paid
into the public treasury during- the absence
of the Prince Royal. The King shall receive
the revenues of the Casa del liffantado, assigning
to the Infant Don Michael such a revenue as
his Majesty shall think fit. The Infantas shall
have a revenue of 400,000 reel per month. The
Queen shall have the Casa dos Rainhas, and all
the revenues attached to it.
" The Cortes continue to discuss the plan of
the Portuguese Constitution. In the sitting of
the 19th the Secretary Telquiras communicated a
letter from the Minister of the Interior, stating
that his Majesty had resolVed to remove the di-
plomatic agents whom the Cortes had judged it
necessary tote deprived of their functions; repre-
senting, however, that his Majesty could not but
take into consideration the services which the
Marquess de Marialva, the Conde °Hold; and
Antonio de Saldanha do Gama had render-
ed in the embassies of Paris ,and Vienna, who
had been led by the uncertainty, and the cir-
cumstances which they were placed, to the
conduct which induced the wise and important
resolution taken by the Cortes.

" M. Xavier Monteiro requested- that the lat-
ter part of the letter should be read a second
time, which being done, he observed, that it being
prohibited to any Member of the Legislative
flody to speak in the King's name, so as to in-
fluence the assembly, a Minister ought not to do
it. This was a letter designed to influence the
Cortes,. who ought to remember that the three
persons named were Noblemen of the highest
rank, and at the same time the most cul-
pable for the conduct imputed to the Am-
bassadors : he therefore declared that the Minis-
ter should he responsible for the effects which the
influence of this letter might produce on the
Deputies, on the public, and even on the persons
who should have to judge the Ambassadors when
they should be brought to trial. Several Mem-
bers supported M. Monteiro, and M. Alves de
Rio said, that it was easy to see that the letter
was the work of the Minister, since one of the
Noble Ambassadors was his, relation, and he said

not a word of- the Chevalier. Briton who was in
the same situation. The affair was at length re-
ferred do a new DiplOmatic Connittee, consisting
of Messi-s: Monteirci' Fernandez, Tomas,,
Mi-
randa, Biaamcamp, and Armes."—(Lisbon Pa-

the National Litelligencer, leaves us but little
room to doubt that the United States' officers
and laws are now in full authority there indeed,
we look by every mail for GOvernor JACKSON'S
proclamation. announcing the fact.
A letter received in this City yesterday, frOtri

tempted resistance, but weFt overpowered by the

of them of large size.

The Aurora states, that a new Minister to the
United States, Don JOACHIM D'ANDRUAGA, has

Fit ONf BALTIMORE, J LIT our Ha-
vannah Papers we find nothing worth trans-
lating, except the following article :—Captain
MAurtic, who arrived here this morning, reports,
that Colonel lIEVIA had entered Cordova at the
head of 3000 infantry and 600 cavalry, and
taken prisoners the rebels RAMIRF.Z, Guranuno,
and SANTA ANA. Colonel CRUEZ, with 8000
men, had marched from Guadalaxara in quest of
lIADEBAT.

FEVER AT BALTTMORE.—In the Philadelphia
Gazette it is stated, that letters were received
noticing a fever• at Baltimore, but do not go to
the alarming length as reported ; and the Balti-
more Papers are silent on the subject.

THE QUEEN.-1 tis quite proper to caution the
public not to place implicit confidence in what
may be stated in the Party Prints as the senti-
ments and language of her late MAJESTY ill

the moments of approaching death. It is pro-
bable that her MAJESTY, in those moments, felt
a proper sense of her situation, that she ir as
above all feelings of resentment, and that her
mind was employed in a due preparation for the
expected awful change. Nothing can be more
base than to make use of so solemn an occasion
as a vehicle for political malignity.—As a proof
how little reliance can be placed in these reports
of the last words of her MAJESTY, one of the
Morning Papers of yesterday stated that " after
an entire absence of sense and faculty of
more than, two hours, nature gave up the
contest ;" and another of this day aflirn-is
that the QUEEN " repeatedly, even to the

last moments of her existence, expressed a for-
giveness of her enemies."—The Public, therefore,
ought not to give credit to any thing on this melan-
choly subject but what is founded on the testi-
mony of respectable witnesses, who were actu-
ally present.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]
This morning the body of her MAJESTY hav-
ing been :tveloped in a sear cloth, and attired
in a shroud, was placed in a cedar shell. Lord
and Lady Hood and Lady Hamilton were pre-
• sent while the body was put into it. Her Ma-
jesty, before her dissolution, gave directions that
the shell should be made by a cabinet-maker
who had, since her Majesty's arrival in Eng-
land, been a very zealous friend, and who
had manufactured several articles of cabinet
work for her Majesty very recently. The
shell was brought to Brandenburgh House
last evening. The lead and exterior coffins are
not yet ordered. They will be made under the
direction of the Heads of the Department of the
Lord Chamberlain, to whom the Earl of Liverpool
(by the directions of the Privy Council which as-
sembled yesterday,) has given orders for making
the necessary preparations before the body will
be removed to the sea-port town for embarkation
for the Continent. The whole of her Majes-
ty's Household and Alderman Wood's family
are in deep mourning. Mr. Wood, the son
of the Alderman, arrived about twelve o'clock
this morning at Brandenburgh House, with
directions from his father the Alderman.—
On the arrival of the orders of the Privy
Council at the Lord Chamberlain's office, dis-
patches were transmitted by the Council for
the return of Mr. Mash and others from Ire-
land, to attend to the preparations for the
mourning to be worn by the Royal Family's
servants. Her Majesty's body has decomposed
so rapidly, that it must speedily be enclosed
in a lead coffin. Messrs. France and Basting
have been informed that no orders will be given,

for the funeral habiliments till arrival of di,;-
patches from Ireland. It is not determined whe-
ther her Majesty will be, interred in Windsor. or
at Brunswick; but it is generally believed that
the latter will be the place of her burial: Several
persons have called at Brandenbtirgh liddse and
expressed a wish to sec the remf he ,
ain§ o r Ma-
jesty bdt in compliance with her Majesty's wish
cc not to be made a show of," it was thought pro-
per to refuse the,applicants their request. •

The leading Opposition Journal of this morn-
ing contains the following Paragraph The
death of Her MAJE3iry will produce a consider-
able change in the situation at the Bar of Messrs.
Bitox.ronAm and DENMAN, her Attorney and So-
licitor General. A sense of equity will, how-
ever, we should think, induce those Who have
the power to confer on them professional honours
which may prevent them from being thrown back
to their former position, and thereby suffer-
ing in their practice." We know not how
this well-meant, well-expressed, and well-
timed hint may be received by the modesty of
the two beamed Gentlemen for whose benefit it is
intendedi—particularly the friendly and judicious
manner, in which the writer expresses his appre-
hension, that, being left to the unaided exertion
of their professional knowledge and talents, they
may, notwithstanding, all their energy,. all' their
powers, anti all their repUtation, sujii!r in their
practice !—Really,—whatever may be the feel-
ings of Messrs. BItOUGHAM and.DENMAN on the
occasion, the Public cannot but acquiesce in the
justness of this appeal to the Merciful considera-
tion of .Government! It the Learned Gentle-
men, by the influence of fortuitous circumstances,
Were for a short ,time elevated to a rank at the
Bar, and obtained an extension of profitable
practice, which, in the humble judgment of their
intercessor, they could never have obtained by the
mere force of their personal merit,—why, to be
sure, it is only fair, and reasonable, and equitable,
that they should be preserved from sinking to
their proper level, now that the fortuitous cir-
cumstances are withdrawn ! The merits of the
case are clear,—the necessity of protecting them
from themselves, as an act of justice, is made ma-
nifest,—the 100 'c of the pleader is admirable !
Not only the Learned Gentlemen in question,
but the whole BA it, are infinitely indebted to
him for this benevolent effort to render those
difficutt acquisitions, extensive knowledge and
distinguished ability, as useless in their pro-
fession, as they have low, been to the Opposition
Writers of our glorious trays! These latter gen-
tlemen have discovered a shorter cut to popula-
rity and its golden fruits; and it is inconceivably
kind in them to wish to extend the benefits of
the invention! It is particularly incumbent upon
Government, too, to introduce this new prin-
ciple into practice, in the case of two Learned
Gentlemen, who have so eminently proved
their zeal in the service of his Majesty's Minis-
ters, and their devoted and affectionate attach-
ment to his MAJESTY'S • Government! 'What can
Government du, less than to dismiss his MA-
I, J EST Y'S ATTORNEY and SuLiciTon GENERAL,
and to appoint Messrs. 813 ['GUAM 'and DEN-
MAN in their stead There is no fear that the
former Learned (gentleman will " be thrown
back to their" original position, or that they
will " suffer in their practice!'.' Their talents
and professional abilities will always pre-
serve them from that fate! 'Whereas DENALIN
and BROUGHAM, independently altogether of their
great personal and political merits, are, according
to their own advocate, absolutely destitute of
any other resource ! The propriety of this step
having been so well pointed out, there can be
no doubt that it will immediately be adopted.
What a happy age do we live in, abounding
with writers, who are continually making bene-
ficial suggestions) which even the best govern-
ments and the whiest 'men would never have
thought of, but for their generous zeal in tt
public service!!

BIRMINGHAM, AUG. B.—The Marquis of LON.
DONDER y arrived in our town yesterday at the
Royal Hotel ; immediately as his Lordship was
known, a very large concourse of persons as-
sembled in front of the hotel, and greeted his
Lordship with the most hearty cheers.and con-
gratulations. His Lordship appeared highly-de-
lighted with his reception, and departed for Ire-
land amid the heartfelt huzzas and good wishes
