THE RING.

HOLYHEAD, SUNDAY, SEPT. 2.—ltis MAJESTY'S
intention of getting on board to-morrow, for the
purpose of proceeding on his voyage to England,
having been announced on Friday, preparations
were making for his departure both at the Park
and the Castle the whole of yesterday, and this
day. It is thought he will piss the early part of
Monday In viewing that part of the county of
Wicklow immediately in the neighbourhood of
Powers-court. 0:It-is celebrated- for grandeur of
scenery, and cannot fail to add to the admiration
which, upon different occasions, his Majesty has
been pleased to express, of the beauty of the
country. It is'not yet certainly known, whether
he will sail direct .for Portsmouth on board the
Royal yacht, or come in the steam-boat to Holy-
head. If the wind should render the latter
course necessary, every preparation has been
made both here and along the road. If the
wind should prove favourable, it is thought
the Royal squadron will sail direct for Ports-
mouth.—Sir Wm. Congreve,.Lord Langford, Col.
Campbell, and many. other Gentlemen, came on
hoard the Lightning steam-packet this day. It
arrived here about half-past two, after a very
favourable passage. if his Majesty should pro-
ceed to England through this place, it is expect-
ed that he will stop, for a short time at Wynnstay,
the seat- of SirW., W. Wynn. The pe6ple of
Wales do not appear less enthusiastic in their
loyalty than his subjects on the other side of the
water. The'inhabitants of this little town speak
of bis visit as the most memorable thing that'
could possibly occur to them. It will be boasted
of no doubt by their descendants as an honour of
the highest kind.

TESTIMONIAL TO COMMEMORATE lIIS MAJES-

TY'S VISIT.

:FRO)1 THE DUBLIN PATRIOT OE SATURDAY, SEPT. 1.)

A Meeting of the Subscribers took place this
clay, pursuant to adjournment, "at the Royal
Exchange, the Right lion. the Lord Mayor in
the Chair. After some previous conversation,
the Resolution of the 25th of August, 1821, for

the appointment of a Committee for the Collec-
tion and Appr,opriation of Funds, was rescinded.
Lord CARBEHRY then proposed a series of
ResolUtions : the- first and principal one stated,
that it would now be premature to enter into the
discussion of "any particular testimonial, as that
would, in a great measure, depend on the amount
of the funds. After a long discussion, in which
Lord Carberry, Mr. L. White, Mr. Singer, Mr.
Finn, and Mr. Lawless took a part.
Mr. O'CoN NELL rose and said, that if the Noble

. . ,
Lord would consent to insert in the body Of
his Resolution a few words expressive of the
wishes of the Meeting,
:to erect, if possible, a'
Palace, all objections would be obviated ; he
(Mr.O'Connell) was sure if the idea of a palace
were held out to the country, that great and
unprecedented efforts would be made by the
people. , Ile had that morning received a com-
munication from a Roman Catholic Priest in the
King's
.County, stating, that for a palace he
would undertake to 'Collect in three small parishes
a sum of sixty, pounds.—(Cheers.)—Two things,
in his opinion, were necessary to be done. First',4
to insure the aid of the aristocracy, without whose
entire support nothing could :be accomplished.
But the support of the people was necessary too.
The Aristocracy, in point, of loyalty to the Mo-
narch, did not, could not, exceed the people.
The humblest. peasant in the land cherished-to-
wards the Throne an affection as pure and as ar-
dent, as disinterested andas sincere, as the highest-
Lord.—(CheerS.)—Was it not delightful to be
able to say so Much, and to.be believed ? Twelve
months ago it would not have been believed
six months since it would have been doubted:—
but he honed it :Would be doubted no more. He
was sure that the people of Ireland, fairly dealt
with, would never give cause of doubt or dis-
sati.faction ; he looked up with more delight
than he *Eta able to-express to the future hap-
piness of his country, arising from the union
of her people, and from the justice of a Go-
vernment that. Must see how feeble, as well as
wicked, were former acts of oppression, and
how well a government of law and freedom
were calculated to sustain itself: He had heard
with surprise some objections made to a Com-
mittee, the liSt of which had been produced
on a former day by a noble Prelate. had
never seen a Committee more fairly selected,
and with the exception of his own humble name,
more deserving of general adoption. The Learn-
ed Gentleman introduced into the resolutions
words to the effect, that, if the funds should ad.
mit of it, a palace would be erected for his Ma-
jesty.—He sat down amid the general cheers of
the Meeting, and the resolution, as amended by
Mr. O'Connell, was unanimously adopted.
After some other resolutions were :put and
carried, the Meeting adjourned. • .

All his MAsts-ey's ships have been ordered to
be in readiness to depart on Monday.
ESTY'S household are discharged from their far-.
Cher attendance in Ireland. •
A meeting of the bond-holders of the late
Crow-street•Theatre was held in Dublin on Fri-
day, when it was 'agreed that a petitiOn be pre-
sented to-his MAJ EST Y, praying that he would be
pleased to grant a new Patent to Mr. SoNEs, the
late Patentee.

A Correspondent has favoured us with the
following brief account of the Bequest of the late
General Putr.lP MARTIN, who died, aged 89,
on the sth ult. at Leeds Castle, in the County of
Kent. He bequeathed that interesting and va,
luable domain,. with extensive freehold property
in various counties, and three hundred thousand
pounds in ready money., to one of his nearest re-
latives, FYNNES YKEIIAM, Esq. of Chalcombe
Priory, in the County, of Northampton, and of
Banbury-, in the; County of Oxon.- The General,
in his will, has directed 30,0001. to be expended
in the reparations of the ancient castle, in which
King EDWARD 11., KICIIARD• 11., and HENRY
IV. resided; and King GEonn.F. 111. and his
Queen were..visitorsJo. 111 r:,.. afterwards Lord
FAIRFAX, (the uncle of General MARTIN) in

MUSICAL REVIEW.—Three Italian Arietts, with
an accompaniment for the PjanoAforte. By
FERDINAND SOR. First Set.

It has been hinted to us, that. in this mu-
sical age we should endeavour to gratify our
Readers of all sorts, and as many of them
,are _probably fond of music, 'that' articles re-
lating to that fashionable' and charming art
would be highly acceptable to. some. For
this purpose h Correspondent ha's sent the fol-
lowing notice of the work, the title of which
we have given above :-These A.rietts form part
of a series, the production of Mr.-Son, whose
professional merits both as regards his extraor-
dinaryskill in performing on the Spanish guitar,
and his taste and science in composition, -are too
well known to require any eulogiutri in this place.
The'first of this series now before_ us consists of
three Arietts, the first of which is distinguished
for the simple yet natural adaptation of the mu
sic to the words, which are .in themselves elegant
and interesting.- The second, in A .Minor, is
not inferior to the first ; but we are inclined to
give the preference to the third, which, though'
of a distinct character from .the others, does
equal credit to the taste, genius, and science of
this judicious Composer and skilful Musician.

[Extract of a Letter from St. Mary's, June 25.]

" The two companies of artillery which left
this place for the purpose of taking possession of
St. Augustine, having on their arrival been in-
formed that the Governor would not be ready
to deliver up • the place until the Ist July, re-
turned .to Cumberland Sound: A very serious
accident occurred the day before the troops left
St. Augustine, through the carelessness of one of
the Spanish gunners, and which might have been
attended with the most dreadful consequences.—
One of the soldiers, having a lighted segar in his
mouth, ap...ied it carelessly to some loose powder
near the_magazine, which had been left on the.
ground ; the fire communicated with some loose
shells, which exploded, killed three and wound-
ed five parsons. The 'unfortunate soldier who
communicated the lire has not ate or drank or
spoken. since."

[From the AUGUSTA HERALD Of the Litli

. -Captain WOOD of the ship • Triton, arrived at
1‘ 'ew Bedford,
.from the Coast of Chili, informs,
that about the. Bth of March,
.the ship Ifero,
RtissELL, of Nantucket, while .lying off Oroko,
flay of St. Mary's, and while'taking a whale,
a boat cane off from the shore, with a message
from General BENEVETUS, inviting Captain Rus-
SELL to come on shore. He accepted the in-
vitation-=--was civilly received by the General
and invited to dine. When Captain R. was
about retiring, a person handed the General a
letter, which. he pretended had. been dropped
by Captain
_IL purporting that he was a spy
from Lord CocnnANE. The General imme-
diately ordered Captain Rt.,ss-Etr, and his Men
who accompanied him, into close confinement.—
They sent three large boats full of men on board
the ship, who drove the crew below and tied
them. They then barred down the hatches and
plundered the ship of every article they could
find, including her papers.' - Fortunately a Pa-
triot brig hove in sight; and they then cut the
cable and left her to. drive on the rocks. •The
mate finding they were gone; got himself loose
and untied the rest; they - then. forced up one
hatch and all came on deck, and found they
'were in four fathoms water, clear of the rocks.
By great exertions they got the ship.off and saved
•
her, and put to 'Kea . without baits, -clothing, or
papers, and were hound to Valparaiso, to obtain.
papers and supplies of 'the ,AMerican Consul,
when spoken by Captain Woon.

We are still obliged to speak of- a- IVar between Russia
and Turkey as an occurrence which is only probable. On
the supposition, however, that war anis! ensue (and it

continues to be our opinion,, that it is, almost inevitable)
let us see what would be, under all circumstances, the best and
wisest policy on the part of England.. Austria and Prussia
being evidently ready to favour whatever line of conduct may
be'finally determined upon byALEKANDER, it is quite obvious,
supposing his determination to be for wnr,- that it would be
possible for the British Government .to pievent the accom-
plishment of designs, the- progress and results of which it
may nevertheless have many, reasons for viewing with
jealousy and alarm. If the course of events be inevitable, it
is the best policy to acquiesce with a good grace in that which
we cannot prevent. If Rusiia be determined to expel the
Turks from Europe, and England cannot successfully" oppose
the.execution of the design, the Only- means which is left to her
of keeping the ff.:tura influence and power of Russia' in Greece
within moderate limits, is to try to divide the gratitude of the
Greeks for their emancipation, between • Russia and thcise
States which are interested: in keeping the influence of Russia
within safe and proper hounds. If, in an gal), period

of the contest, eithet the British Cioderiimailt ch. the British
Nation had offered their powerful countenance and inva-,
luable aid to the Greeks, before the policy of ALEXAN,
DER, Hi their favour apparently, but really for his own
interest, had time to be. developed, we should eater afterward
have found in the permanent gratitude of the Greeks
to Great Britain, the best! check upon the ambitious views of
Russia, 'and the surest safeguard against her future projects.
Even noW, perhaps, itis not too late to reap great advantage from
adopting this line of eonduct;whilst,on the other hand,all attempts
to oppose the progress of A LExAR ntraiy roncE,must be-Riffle;
all assistance afforded to the Turks will be as disgraceful to the
parties bestowing it, as itwill be inefficient for, and useless. to, the
barbarians by whom it is received; and all shew of hostility,. or -
even indifference to the Greeks, can have no other effect than
to throw them more completely into the arms of Russia, to bind
them more and more closely in her embrace, and to render
theni in future the grateful and willing instruments of- her
ambition. Independently of
.these considerations, perhaps,
as regards the growing power of Russia, there is not so
much reason for jealousy on the part of England as may
be imagined. Mr. ETON, to whose. SURVEY or THE
Ttrairisu, Rarrinz we have formerly had occasion to refer,
contends that it is the policy of this country to assist Russia
in expelling the Turks from Europe. 'There is; indeed,
a mighty change in the state of Europe since his book was
written ; but much of what he states as to the relations of
Great Britain and Russia is still true, and prebalgy
will ever remain so. Ile says (cap. /0), " Russia, the most
powerful, the most natural, .and. the moat useful of oar
Allies,' has so intimate a connection of interests ,svith us,
that the sonndet policy :must dictate to us an union
of design and a co-operation in action. Her commerce
with Great Britain is of the utmost consequence to her,
as it prOduees a efear*annrial balance in her favour;from a mil-
lion to a million and half sterling. Vet is the Russian trade
Of great importance to England, as she thence draws most
of her naval stores, and employs theiCin several hundred vesse7s
and many thousand seamen.—Russia is not our rival on the
-seas, nor we hers on the. Continent. She stands in need of our
assistance at sea, and we of hers by land. Her interest dictates
to her the same alliances as our interest dictates to us. Ws are rivel4
in nothing. The prosperity of the one country is the increase of
strength in the other. With her alliance we can protect our friends
on the Continent, or humiliate our enemies. With our alliance her
fleets may sail in Safety to all parts Of the globe, and chastise
those who have provoked her. Even in the trade between
the countries there is no rivalship. The products, pertly
manufactured and partly raw, brought by a long land carriage
from distant provinces to her ports (which is in itself a' bcnefiet
branch of commerce); find in Our merchants the only rtir'''
chasers. They transport them in our ships to our own ports'
Neither in this is there any rivalship, for Russia has no uler
cantile navy ; but to compensate that circumstance, the babe':
of trade is immensely in her favour. In short, there is ?di
single point in which we can be rivals, except it be, w,l,
should be,more arduous in cultivating the ties of friendship.
