COSMORAMA, REGENT'S PARK.

Our attention has been called to this ingenious and very
interesting exhibition, by its recent and entirely new
change of views. They are still sixteen in number; and it
is but doing them justice to say, that the scenes they repre-
sent are as judiciously selected as they are beautifully exe-
uted. The three first consist of the " Mausoleums, Ruins,
end Temples of Palmyra." Among the latter of which, the
" Temple of the Sus" forms a peculiarly striking object,
both in regard of the general magnificence of the design,
and the elegant character of the details. These are suc-
ceeded by the " Palace and Park of Versailles." The po-
gition in which the palace is given is the most favourable
that could have been chosen for showing the vast extent of
the edifice, which, with its wings, is near two thousand
feet in length, and forms one of the grandest architectural
objects of which the world can boast. Among the other
subjects are those of " Trinity Chapel," " Athens,"
" Edinburgh," the " Interior of St. Peter's, at Rome,'
and the " Bridge of Cords, in Peru ;" all of which display
not only great truth of drawing, and force and liveliness of
colouring, hut are so excellent in the grand points of liflit
and shade, and what may he termed their serial perspective,
that every part of each object is not only seen lineally, in
its true place or distance, but in that degree of clearsess or
of obscurity proper to its situation ; so that the illusion as-
gums' a perfectness of effect really surprising. 55 exqui-
site, indeed, are most of these imitations of Nature, that we
cannot easily conceive how greater credit could 1-e dont to
this curious province of the pictorial art, than the painter
has procured to it by these his brilliant spe6nens of its
powers. In passing from window to window, the spectator
is transported from one country to another--from Asia to
Europe, and from Europe to America, as by magic. In
our opinion, the best scenery of the stage cannot vie with
these transparent beauties of the pencil iiA force and fulness
of effect in the sphere of deception—a merit which alone
would form a powerful attraction, and re'ect no common
honour on the talents of the artist.

At the annual Meeting of the aubscribers and
benefactors of the Bradford Dispe bury, held on Monday
last, a report was read, from NO:Lich it appeared that th•
number of patients admitted du,:ing the last year amounted
to 2,863. It was also stated,lthat there was an excess in
the expenditure over the into me of 1451., and it was re-
commended that the Ministers of-religion, within the sphere
of the Institution's operations, shoule! be requested to:make
congregational collections, tca replenish the funds.—Leafs

NEW LOAN.—It seas reported on Saturday,
and generally believed, that Mr. Rothischild, in behalf of
the monied interest of the City, boring joined by leading
capitalists and hankers, will lend Gwernment five millions
on Exchequer Bills, bearing an interest at the late of three
per cent. per annum ; to be issuec, at a premium of 205.,
in which case Government woul d borrow, for the first
year, at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum, and the lender
receive (with the present premi,r-ri on Exchequer Bills) at
Vie rate of 41. So.—which WOLI Id be a good bargain for
both parties.—Examiner.
The arrangement of thf differences between
the stuff-manufacturers and thei r weavers twe or three
weeks ago was, it appears, onl:• temporary, the muter.
being obliged to pay a higher prig e for their weaving than
they could afford ; the natural ct meequence of which was
that only very few of the men ob tained work. We have
now, however, the happiness to a ay, that a cordial recon-
ciliation has taken place, the mac having voluntarily con-
L:nted to receive 6s. a piece for the two shuttle plaid
pieces, for which they before wee a paid 6s. 6d; 71. for
the four shuttle pieces, before pal ,1 7s. 6d. ; and 7s. 05d.
for the six shuttle pieces, the pr ice of which was before
9s. 6d., and all other kinds of le ork in the same propor-
tion. As we suspected, nothing- was wanted to accom-
modate the differences but a specific proposal, which we
last week ventured to suggest, and which hes been adopted
literally.—Leeds Mercury.

A very heavy fall of snow took place in Wor-
cestershire, on Tuesday ; the ice way an inch
thick, and the blossoms on pear and cherry
trees were much injured., Warwick Advertiser.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, MAY 14, 1827.

We received last night the Paris Papers of
Friday, and the Etoile of Saturday morning.
The latter classes under the head of " Lies of
the Day"the statements made in the Qudidienne
and .Journal des Debats, of an engagement
having taken place between the Spaniards and
Portuguese, on the frontiers of Gallicia, and of
Mr. LAMB having again remonstrated with the
Spanish Government, on account of the hostile
attitude assumed by the army on the frontiers of
Portugal.
The Papers are still filled with debates on the
Budget.

We thought that the debate of Friday in the
House of Commons had so crushed the hopes of
the poor Ultras, that they regarded their con-
dition as perfectly hopeless, and had quietly
resigned themselves to their fate, especiallywhen de-
serted by Mr. PEEL, who has so adroitly backed
out of the Opposition, which he at first threat-
ened. That Right Hon. Gentleman does not seem
to enjoy the society which he has got into, and'has
fairly thrown overboard those worthy persons
who had hoped that they were to look on him
as their leader. Not that we see in Mr. PEEL'S
conduct any relaxation of hostility to the new
Government, but only a pledge that he will not
offer a harrassing and useless opposition,
being a course dictated by respect for his
own character in the eyes of the country.
In proof of this we may say that nothing could
be more hollow than his speech in opposing
Gen. GASCOYNE'S motion, for instead of be-
stowing on the masterly reply of :iir. Husicis-
SO N the praise it so well deserved, Mr. PEEL con-
tented himself with resting his objection to the
motion on the grounds of individual consistency.
But though the "refiner's fire" has discovered
the existence of alloy in the Ex-Secretary for the
Home Department, we cannot forget the benefits
he has conferred on his country, and we should
be sorry to undervalue them, whilst we are obliged
to censure his conduct on a late occasion.

But, instead of being daunted, we find that
the Orangemen are actually going to set up two
daily evening Papers, as a counterpoise to the
venal part of the press, which they have denounced
so fiercely in both Houses of Parliament.
One of them is to be called the "Centinel," and
commences its address to the public by saying--
" The present Administration has been formed
upon the avowed principles of subverting the
Protestant Constitution, not by assailing its
ramparts, but by undermining its foundations."
'We are not aware whether this is actionable
or not, but beg to give it the most unqualified
contradiction, for though in itself hardly merit-
ing any species of notice, we are aware that the
most contemptible things are frequently mis-
chievous when addressed to the worst feelings of
human nature,—cowardice as respecting self, and
cruelty in disregarding the sufferings of others.
We know that there was a time when the power
of the Pope was formidable in the extreme, and
so there was a time when the Scots borderers
were formidable to their English neighbours ;
but there is just as much occasion for
rebuilding the walls of Berwick against an
invasion of Scots, as for strengthening
the ramparts of the Constitution against the
Pope, who actually has not one half the power
and patronage which the Archbishop of CAN-
TERBURY enjoys. But the Orangemen have
long found " No Popery" a more profitable cry
than a fishwoman ever found crying mackerel,
and their " Centinel" will go on telegraphing
to them about fleets of Papists coming
over from the Continent, with the POPE /
at their head, till they actually picture in their
minds the very colour of the uniform which hi .s
HOLINESS must procure for the occasion. V/6
agree with CJESAR, that it were better to 0 lie
once than to live-in constant fear of death,— nor
have we words to express our pity for t' oese
Orangemen whose existence must be little betiter
than a protracted execution, if they are sincere'
in the apprehensions they express,—and who
has a right to doubt them ?

We received this morning Frankfort Papers
of the 7th instant, which contain accounts of
some further preparations by the Turks for effect-
ing the subjugation of Greece, but the arrival of
Lord COCHRANE and General CHURCH will
make the attempt more arduous than ever :

CONSTANTINOPLI, APRIL 10. 1
The first division of the fleet, consisting of fifteen ships
of various sizes, sailed on the 3d of this month, under tb e
command of Riala Beg (the third Admiral of the fleet), / co
Gallipoli, where it will take on board biscuit and oti ler
provisions, and gunpowder. .
____

. - .
The 2d division, under the command of Taher Pt eha,
the Seraskier of the Fleet, will sail from this port afta r the
feast of Beiram. Another division of regular troops, about
1,600 strong, has lately marched to Larissa. At t'
of last month three new Servian Deputies arrive{ he end
1 here,
to take the places of those who have been here for a consi-
derable time. They have brought sews of tht death of
the Bishop of Belgrade, which the Greek Pat"' iarch has
communicated to the Porte, requesting its ordt ?re relative
to the appointment of his successor.

Ascoiaing to the latest accounts from Sm 7 rna, of the
4th of this month, Redschid Pacha still m aintained his
ground before Athens against the partial a' ~tacks of the
Greeks, but he had not yet been able to di ..ive them from
their entrenchments in the Piraeus and Phale rue. The distress
in the Acropolis increased daily, and sick ness was making
rapid progress among the garrison. Na ~Eng farther was
known respecting the dispute between tie two Assemblies
at Egina and Hermione, or whether Lord Cochrane and
General Church had succeeded in eS acting a compromise
between them. The last number of thf Universal Ga-
zette of Greece (No. 36, of 24th r if March), which we
have received from Smyrna, does no' t say a syllable on this
subject. It contains, however, a n account of the events
(of which we have already spoke n) that occurred before
Athens, after the arrival of Kai aiekaki at Eleueis. This
report, addressed by Laraiskal cito the Government at
Egina, clearly shows, sal ,ting sai
,de the usual ezaggerationa,

ma*. the
actions of the 15th and 16th of March led to no
decisive result.

At Ravensburg it has been agreed, in consequence of a
negociation between the Elders of the Churches of both
parties, that henceforward ten holydays of the Protestant
and Catholic Churches shall be kept, partly on the next
holyday of the other party respectively, and partly on the
following Sunday.

PETERSBURCH, APRIL 23.
It appears from authentic documents that the present po-
pulation of Georgia amounts to about 64,000 families, or
372,000 souls; they consist of 4 dig.eretit natkths—vii. Geor-
gians, Armenians, Tartars; &Persians. The trade of Georgia
and or the Government beyond Mount Caucasus in gene-
ral, which is very considerable, owes its present importance
to several Ukases of the latter years of the reign of the Em-
peror Alexander, particularly that of 20th October, 1821,
which gave very great commercial privile;;es to this pro-
vince. The commerce of Tiflis, the capital, has increased
in an astonishing manner, and is chiefly carried on by the
Armenians. In the year 1824, the six first Armenians
appeared at Leipsic fair, and purchased European manufac-
tures to the amount of 600,000 rubles, which they sent by
way of Odom to Georgia. In 1825, the Armenians pur-
chased at Leipsic to the amount of 1,200,000, and in
1826, to tkat of 2,800,A00 rubles,

By the arrival of his Majesty's packet, Rinaldo,
which Wt Jamaica on the 10th April, and
Crooked Island on the 19th, we have received
Jamaica Papers to the 9th April, which repre-
sent affairs in Peru as in a state of great agita-
tion ; and it will appear from the following ex-
tracts, Ihat Colombia was also very unsettled, and
in a tlitious condition. PAEZ still rules in
Veneriela, and the Colombians have laid up
their wavy, and discharged the officers and men.

(From the Jamaica Courant.)
His Majesty's brig, Beaver, Capt. O'Brien, arrived at
Port loyal in four days. The Beaver left Carthagena on
the itesday preceding, and has experienced very severe
weathr. The packet arrived there the evening previous,
and tie ship Samuel, about four hours after her sailing,
havirT had a passage of fourteen days. The packet
was 3 sail on Thursday. Carthagena is in a very
unsetled state; no money to pay the troops, but what
is leied upon the British merchants. The navy is
laid ip, and the seamen are all discharged, as well
as he Foreign Officers, without their pay, or the
meads of procuring it hereafter. The Colombia and Con-
din.marca frigates, and Venezuela, Boyaca, and Consii-
NM: sloops are laid up at Carthagena, and tke Urica
wait° sail for Porto Cabello in a few days, to bTlaid up.
On the 2tith March, news reached Carthagena from
Bobta that a revolution had broken out in Peru. Bolivar's
(Veers had been arrested, and sent prisoners to Bogota.
(From the Jamaica Courant of the 9th April.)
We are in possession of several important documents re-
latng to the last changes in Peru :—the first is a letter
&en the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the
Alxiliary Army to the Vice-President of Colombia, dated
Una, 28th January, giving a detail of circumstances
wtich led to the insurrection of the 26th of that month,
and his motives for having arrested 150 officers.
The third document is a proclamation of Santa Cruz,
Pesident of Peru, referring to the above events, summon-
irg an Extraordinary Congress, to be held at Lima on the
bt of May, for the purpose of framing a Constitutional
Charter for this Republic of Peru.
The Bogota Papers of the 15th March state, that 400
tlousand dollars has been collected for the interest of the
Republic. _

i3y a public document published officially at Bogota, it
appears, that the Republic has discharged the amount of
1,829,670 dollars, of the principal of the domestic debt,
is the year 1826, at the same time they are inahle to
send a single dollar in payment of the interest due on the
foreign debts and bans contracted in this country. The
amount of the revenue for the month of ;January, received
from the various departments collected for the Sinking
Fund, and the payment of the National Debt, amounted so
465,909 dollars.

Bogota Papers to the 16th of March, hare
been received at the North and South American
Coffee House. The Gazeta de Colombia will
be read with some satisfaction by those who are
interested in the financial conceit-no of Colombia.
We regret at the same time that when the pro-
bable amount of expenditure !for the year next
ensuing was thus officially given, some idea was
not furnished, of the means by which the Go-
vernment proposes to obtain the supplies which
are to cover it. The following is an extract
from the Gax&r de Colombia of the 4th :—_
" We have the pleasure to annout ice to the public, that
the Estimate draw n up in the office of the Secretary of
Finance, of the Rxpenditure during the present year, is
much less than tinat of last. The decrease is to be attri-
buted to the met Asnres of economy which have been tempo-
rarily adopted 1 iy the Liberator President in the exercise of
his extraordine .ry powers. The amount of the estimates
for the year, it 8,550,027 dollars '74 cents. That of last
year was 15,, 1.87,719 dollars 3} cents ; there is, therefore,
a decrease in favour of the Repuhlic, of 6,937,691 dollars
4i cents, as may be seen below :
