"LEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM A UDEArY

LONDON,
THURSDAY, JUNE 2.f3, 1821.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
lae
Monday. The official report of the affair at Ga-
zby Prince CANTACUZENA, commanding a
corps of the Greek army, is at variance with that
of the Pacha. of IBnAiLow. The Prince acknow-
ehel the Turks obtained possession of Galacz,
kit
p. estimates their loss at 1,300 men, whilst the
1.**1(3 did not leave more than 300 of their
r"Ps on the field of battle. CANTACLTZENA
made
good his retreat with the remainder of
forces into Moldavia, where he has receiv-
de°osiderable reinforcements, which enable him
keep in check the forces detached by the Turks
against that province. It now appears that three
diWerent Turkish divisions have entered Mol-
a and Wallachia, but so far from their hay-
ing the advantages represented in some of the
late accounts from the Continent, their numeri-
"l force is said to be so inconsiderable, that not
°ne of these corps has been able to attempt any
Peration of consequence. The accounts from
Constantinople furnish some particulars respect-
-11.,g the destitution and exile of the late Grand
,
3 ilier: ALI BENDERLI, and a sketch of thepre-
sentVizier, who is stated to be a man of no
talent Whatever. The substance of these ac-
°ants have been already before the public.
4tit he Austrian Cabinet continues to be very
vitetnive to the passing events in the G reek Pro-
,alees of the Ottoman Empire. It receives fre-
eatlY dispatches from its Civil and Military
tilg:?ts on the frontiers of Turkey, and its corn_
lisullications with Petersburgh are more than

dish! the part of Russia, equal activity is
ft "Ye,(l in marching troops to the Turkish
3 "tier bordering on her dominions, and it would
reeto that neither of these Powers are likely to
terrain much longer inactive spectators of the
"test between the Greeks and their cruel
on„
reressbrs.

l'rern Spain we learn that the DUKE DEL IN-
I'4IITADo has DISAPPEARED for some time FROM
`tbRID, b ID, and that neither the place of his con-
4ahnent, nor the cause or object of his disap-
pearance, are known. It is reported he was at
uadalaxara., and had been joined by fifty of the
disbanded Body Guard. The Minister of War
and General Alonxi.Lo have been dismissed, but
their successors are not yet appointed. During
the short time.MORILLO exercised his command,
kadrit.l enjoyed perfect tranquillity ; but it

Seems he is a man of austere manners, and, in an
audience of the KING, told his MAJESTY such
wholesome truth, as to excite the KING'S displea-
sure, and occasion his dismissal.
The KtNG has caused the Minister of the In-
terior to publish a Manifesto, in order to coun-
teract the mischievous effects of the Proclama-
tions profusely circulated by the Priest MERINO,
in which be states that he is acting by the KING'S
authority, and calls upon the inhabitants to rise
en masse to release the KING, who is confined in
his Palace. The KING now goes out every day
at twelve o'clock. A fresh dispatch from the
Empecinado presses the arrival of the reinforce-
ments promised him. MEIHNO, at the head of
his cavalry, harasses the Constitutional troops
so unremittingly, that they dare not take
any repose, and have hardly time to take
any refreshments. Madrid is far from quiet, and
we fear, that unless the successor of MORILLO,
and General COPONS, the new Political Chief
of Madrid, act with firmness and vigour, the capi-
tal will be the theatre of fresh popular commotions.
The applications for the convocation of the 'Ex-
traordinary Cortes are presented from all quar-
ters, and it is thought the KING will be com-
pelled to comply with this demand. The public
attention in the capital has been greatly excited
by a reported change of the Public Authorities
at Valencia, with a view of saving the life of
General aro.

The following are the contents of Spanish
Papers and the Flanders Mail which arrived this
day :
" CADIZ, Jinn G.—The Redactor General
of this city mentions that the Galga schooner
arrived there on the sth from the Havannah, in
39 days, with the Mail, &c. It sailed with the
convoy of the Pronta frigate, composed of 55
vessels, including four ships of war, from which
it parted on the 24th May, in latitude 41 deg.
6 min. and longitude 29 deg. 57 min. west of
Cadiz. The same Paper states, that the Na-
tional troops in New Spain had recovered 500,000
of the 700,000 piastres intercepted by the rebel
Colonel Iturbide, who, it is asserted, had sub-
mitted.—(This news was communicated by the
persons on board the Galga, and will, we hope,
be confirmed by the letters which are not yet
landed.)
" Our Political Chief has issued a Proclama-
tion on the appearance of Laldivar with a band
of 45 horsemen in the neighbourhood of Xeres
de la Frontera. He severely threatens all who
shall join this rebel, and commands them to lay
down their arms, and return to their homes
within 48 hours, under pain of being tried by
military law and shot. It is believed by many
that this party is only a band of smugglers.

" ST.SFBASTI IN, JUNE 8.-On the sth arrived
in this port the A mable Rosa, on the 6th the Buena
Gabriela and the Mutat°, all from the Ha-
vanna!), with colonial produce. They have
brought letters from the llavannah of the 24th
of April, in which is the following intelligence:
44 4 We have just heard, by way of Campeche,
that the rebel Colonel Iturbide has accepted the
amnesty, after having been abandoned by his
troops, and has given himself up to the army of
the Viceroy, with 500,000 piastres, and that the
Bishop of Puebla has fled with the piastres. This
news is too important to be believed upon bare
assertions ; if it shall happily be confirmed, it
Is-ill secure for a long time the tranquillity of
the kingdom of Mexico, and of this island.'
cc ARAND I DE DUERO JUNE 9.—General
Empecinado has taken prisoner at Nava de Roa,
D. Lorenzo Quintana, clergyman of Roa. Ilis
capture is considered to be as important, or
even more so, than that of Merino himself, as he
was his intimate friend, confident, and director,
and enjoyed in this whole district more reputa-
tion than Merino. He has been brought to this
town, and proceediugs are commenced against
him.

" JUNE 10.—The troops of General Empeci-
nado being extremely weary, remain at present
in their respective positions. Every point is se-
cure, and all measures have been taken to pre-
vent a surprise. This miserable faction can hold
Together no longer than while it avoids sheaving
ttself.

" SEPULVEDA, JUNEIO.—The wretched Merino
escaped from the affair of the sth with only 15
horses, thanks to the 'agility of his and the weari-
ness of our cattle, which was such that the Sol-
diers were at last obliged to lead them by the
bridle, otherwise that rebel would have fallen
under the sword of the Commander of the first
battalion of Catalonia, or of that of one of the
four brave men who joined him in the pursuit.
" MADRID, JUNE 14.--The Sitting of the
Cortes on the 12th was important. The Minis-
ter of Finance stated that the amount of the con-
tributions paid in the last ten months to make

good arrears was 120,1'64,158 reals, and for the
payment of the current taxes the sum of
585,297,352 reals; making the sum total of
706,081,510 reals ; and the general estimate
being 712 millions, there remained only six
millions to he paid in the two remaining months
to complete the amount.

" The Conde de Torreno, Senor Cepero, and
other Members, expressed themselves highly gra-
tified by the flattering prospect presented by this
statement."—(El Universe!, June 14.)
" FRANKFORT, JUNE 18.—The King of Prus-
sia passed through this morning to go to Hom-
burg, where he breakfasted. His Majesty re-
turned to dinner at Frankfort, and then went to
pay a visit to the Grand Duke and Duchess of
Hesse. To-morrow his Majesty goes to May-
ence.

64 DARMSTADT, JUNE 18.—The law on the
Conscription, which has given rise to much dis-
cussion, was adopted in the last Sitting of the
Second Chamber, by a very great majority, in
every point, and the Grand Duchy of Hesse may
boast of having one of the first laws on this diffi-
cult subject. One point especially occupied the
Chamber at the close of the debates : the two
Chambers had unanimously denied that the
Jewish Conscripts should not be allowed to have
any but Jews for substitutes. Mr. Peerrot, the
Proposer of this Regulation, supported it by in-
controvertible arguments, and represented it as
perhaps the only possible means of obliging the
Israelites to participate in European Civilization.
At first the Government would not accede to this
proposal, and it was referred back to the States
for reconsideration. In this second discussion a
picture was drawn of the ill consequences and
of the dangers to Society, which would result
from a refusal to accede to this proposal.—
After a speech by M. Peerrot, which produced
a peat effect, the Chamber unanimously resolved
to abide by its first resolution. As the first
Chambers coincides in opinion, we are curious to
learn what steps the Government will take. The
Members have also resolved that Christians must
have Christian substitutes.

" TRIESTE, JUNE B.—Eleven thousand English
troops have arrived at Malta : they are supposed
to be intended to reinforce the garrisons of the
lonian Islands.

" BRUSSELS, JUNE 22.--Baron de Nuj ill. is said
to be appointed Ambassador Extraordinary to
the Court of London on the occasion of the coro-
nation of his Majesty George IV .'''.=-:--(Bnissels
Payers, Jane .26.)

MADRID, JUNE I.s.—(PrhYste Letfer.)—The
frigate La Pronte has arrived at Cadiz from
Vera Cruz and the Havannah, in 39 days, bring-
ing 10 million of dollars, 10 millions of gold, and
1000 marks in silver.

HAVANNAIT, MAY 2.—The Camel has arrived
here, after a passage of ten days, and a fleet of
merchantmen, consisting of SO rail, sailed on
Saturday from this port for different ports in
Spain. The British ship Hall, of Liverpool,
from Jamaica for London, in a gale of wind, was
thrown on the rocks at the entrance of the hai•-
bour, and would be lost. The United States'
corvette John Adams is in port, with Colonel
FORBES on board, who will sail in a few days for
Pensacola.

THE AGRICULTURAL REPORT.—We are the
more disposed to resume the examination of this
important document, since a farther considera-
tion of Mr. SCARLETT'S Bill for new-modelling
the Poor Laws, will be entertained in the House
of Commons this evening. The consolation
which is derived from some features of the Re-
port, is heavily counterbalanced by others,—by
the admission which it makes of the severity and
extent of the suffering under which the Agricul-
tural Interest is labouring,—and by the gloomy
reflections which spring up respecting the in-
evitable influence and result of the continued
distress of the Agriculturists, upon the interests
of the other great classes of the people, unless a
remedy can be speedily devised and successfully
administered. The Report, while it fully and
frankly- acknowledges the former of these points,

touches, we are sorry to say, but slightly upon
the latter. The danger, however, must be ac-
curately estimated, and must be boldly and cou-
rageously encountered. A just knowledge of
our real situation—of the difficulties with which
we have to struggle—and, if it can be obtained,
of the means by which those difficulties are to
be overcome,—is of far greater importance than
inquiries, however curious, into the legality or

illegality of the QUEEN'S pretensions to partici.
pate in the splendid ceremony of a Coronation—
than diatribes against the Radicals, or eulogies
of the Constitutional Association—than the elec-
tion of Sheriffs, or the conduct of a Treasurer of
the Mauritius—and even •than the saving know'.

ledge of the sagacious Mr. JosEtin Hurift, or the
secret proceedings of the Cabinets of the Holy
Alliance. We solemnly entreat the public at,
tention to the consideration pf subjects which in.,
volve their best--=their only true interests;—more
particularly since it has been avowed by the
Marquis of LONDONDERItY, that the House of
Commons is not the proper place for the discus-
sion of abstruse and difficult questions in Politi-
cal Economy. The principles of this Science are
neither so difficult nor so abstruse as has been too
generally supposed. They may be soon rendered
easily intelligible and familiar to any ordinary ca-
pacity. A very moderate degree of applicr:tion will
be rewarded by the complete mastery of a Science,
which appears to many persons to be almost in-
comprehensible, but Without the knowledge of
which it is impossible to have just or useful views
of national polity and government, or to foresee
and counteract the fluctuations in national affairs,
which alternately elevate or depress the great
classes of a people. The people of this country
must not longer remain indifferent to, and igno-
rant of, a Science of this high value. They must
not suffer the disorder, which has struck at their.
agriculture—the root of their prosperity—to ex-
tend itself (as it most certainly is about to do),
without counteraction, throughout all the chan-
nels and branches of their industry and their
wealth—already too much obstructed and cur-
tailed by circumstances arising out of other
causes. That depression, which is confessedly
annihilating the capital employed in the cultiva-
tion of the land,' in raising the supply of food
indispensably requisite for the consumption of
the population, must be speedily relieved, or fur-
ther calamities, of which no man, perhaps, can
adequately foresee or foretel either the extent or
the duration, must follow in the train of those
which now bear so grievously upon the farmers.
We confess that we approach the serious consi-
deration of this vital question with a deep and
heartfelt sense of its importance, and of
the guarded circumspection which ought to
characterise every argument or opinion pub-
licly advanced respecting it.—We feel the
seriousness of the responsibility which at-
taches to every one who endeavours to commu-
nicate to the public mind, on the subject un-
der our consideration, any particular bias or
determination. When we find, however, on
the other hand, that the Report admits, " with
deep regret, that at the present price of corn,
the returns to the occupier of an arable farm,
after allowing for the interest of his invest-
ment, are by no means adequate to the charges
and outgoings, of which a considerable proportion
can be paid only out of the capitals, and not
from the profits, of the tenantry ;"--when we
rind the Report in one passage admitting this
ruinous fact ; and in others attributing the dis-
tress, in a great measure, to that very circum-
stance, which ought to be matter of joy and
thanksgiving,— CG the general abundance and
good quality of our harvests ;"—and calculating
that, " as far as depression of price has been pro-
duced by redundant production, it admits of
no adequate • remedy, except that which must
arise from the progressive adjustment of the
supply to the demand, either by the diminu-
tion fof the one, or the increase of the other,
or more probably by the combined operation of
both ;"—we acknowledge that we are struck
with dismay at the progressive ruin which the
farmers have still to encounter —at the too pro-
bable abandonment of the cultivation of the in-
ferior soils, and the consequent diminution of the
gross supply of food to be furnished to the coun-
try—with all the calamitous train of evils which
attend upon an imperfectly employed, an ill-
paid, and an inadequately fed population !—We
shall resume this subject at an early opportunity.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH -THIS DAY.
KING V. W. W. FLO-Ir.-Vit.

The SOLICITOR GENERAL prayed the judg-
ment of the Court upon the defendant W. W.
Floyer, Esq. a Gentleman of considerable pro-
perty, residing near Tamworth, and a Magistrate,
for a libel on Sir RonEaT PEEL, Bart. of whi :11
he (the defendant) was the author, anti which
he caused to be inserted in the LitchfieN MercurN
newspaper, under the signature of Asada, and
Phdo-Justicia. The defendant, who had suffered
judgment to go by default, put in a number of affi-
davits in mitigation. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL
was heard in aggravation. Mr. SCARLETT spoke in
mitigation of ' punishment.—The Loan CHIEV
JusTlcE having to go to Guildhall, deferred the
sentence till Monday next.

POWER. OF CONVERSATION.—The improve-
ments in Modern Philosophy are most astonish-
ing. Our new Theorists propose to condense all
our Maritime Laws into one Act, simply by re-
pealing the Navigation System ! Should they
succeed in that, it is expected that they will im-
mediately afterwards be able to condense GR EA T
BRITAIN into LITTLE BRITAIN, and to carry
on the Commerce of the Empire and Colonies--in
a Nut-shell ► I !

Yesterday the Duke of YORK transacted mili-
tary business with the KING, at his Palace, in
Pall-mall.

Viscount Sinmou'rn had an audience of his
MAJ ESTY.

Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE,
accompanied by the Princess AUGUSTA, rode to
Fulham in an open carriage, and honoured the
Bishop of LONDON with a morning visit.
On Saturday last the Earl of CRAVEN'S yacht,
the Louisa, went down the river and sailed for
Brighton. Ills Lordship and family were all on
board, and purposed remaining off Brighton for
about a fortnight, and then proceeding to join
the Regatta fleet off the Isle of Wight.
We .understand that Mrk. COUTTS, with that
liberality which distinguishes her, has sent Miss
STEPHENS a Bank-note for fifty pounds, accom-
panied by a magnificent watch and costly appen-
dages, as a remembrance for her benefit.—
