NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—NORWICH, Auo. 7.

This morning the Commission for holding the
Assizes for the City of Norwich and County of Nor-
folk, was opened in the Guildhall, before Mr. Baron
Garrow, the Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Offi-
cers of the Corporate body. The Learned Judge
briefly addressed the Court, observing that imme-
diately after the conclusion of Divine Service, he
should return, and commence the business of the
Assizes, and therefore would request the attendance
of the Noblemen and Gentlemen who were to form
the Grand Jury.
His Lordship, attended by a numerous escort, then
proceeded to Norwich Cathedral, and after hearing
Divine Service, took his seat on the Bench.
The usual formula having been gone through, and
the Grand Jury sworn,
Mr. Baron GARROW proceeded to address the
gentlemen composing that body.

the principal part of the Carlists lay down
their arms and return to their homes ; they had been
traversing different districts of this province. His
Excellency also stated that the Government ought
not to take up an erroneous idea relative to the real
cause of the conduct pursued by the Carlists, and
that if they have consented to lay down their arms
for the present, it is, because they were in a manner,
forced to do so in order to get in their crops; that,
besides, the penchant for revolution still exists to the
full extent, and that, as soon as they have finished
their agricultural occupations, it.must be expected
that the Carlists will again take up arms, and in
greater numbers than heretofore, if the Government
does not in the mean time adopt the most active
measures to counteract a new insurrection.

" So great is the numbers of robbers who infest
the public roads, that on that which leads from Ma-
drid to Andalusia, it has been necessary to station a
detachment of cavalry at short distances, and their
duty is to patrol the road day and night."

(EXTRACT FROM ANOTHER PRIVATE LETTER.)

" An extraordinary courier, who travelled from
Paris in five days, arrived at eleven o'clock yester-
day morning at the office of the Ambassador, and
brought the news of the refusal of M. le Comte de
Ferronays to come to Madrid, as French Ambas-
sador."

The recent differences between the Court of Rome
and our's assume every day a more decided character,
and a more alarming aspect. His Holiness, without
doubt, in consequence of the Spanish clergy being
the only religious body which is anxious to oppose
the extension of knowledge, and those maxims of
religion which have been received by all the other
churches of the Christian world, has just issued a
Brief, in which he declares " that ecclesiastics can-
not, for the future, be appointed to any civil situa-
tion whatsoever; and that for criminal offences and
civil actions they must submit to the civil tribunals
in the same way as other subjects of the King."
This Brief also contains several other declarations
calculated to re-establish the true discipline of the
Church.

Yesterday a young men went to pay an usual visit
to his mistress, who resided in the street called Los
Jardines. On entering the apartment he met there
the brother of the young woman, but he had fre-
quently seen him before. Some dispute arose
between them, and the brother of the young woman
was stabbed with a dagger by her lover—the result
was, the brother died on the spot.

MADRID, JULY 26.—" Entire companies now
arrive from Portugal with their arms and bag-
gage, end the soldiers appear to be greatly irritated
against the Constitutional Government, which has
exposed them to light against their brothers; it is
their aversion to sustain a Government they dislike,
that induces them to quit Portugal, to which they
have sworn never to return, except as the guards
and followers of their beloved Sovereign, the Infant
Don Miguel. By recent letters from the Army of
Observation it appears that all the regiments are at
their respective posts; no new movement has taken
place; the cantonments continue the same, and
there is no likelihood whatever of their quitting the
frontiers."

LONDON,

THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1827.

The care of the public interests is a glorious,
but it is also a severe service. The assiduous
labour to be undergone,—the incessant vigilance
to be exercised,—the stress and violence and
vicissitudes of Parliamentary warfare,—the dif-
fused and excursive study of all the foreign
relations of a great and imperial nation, rela-
tions ever expanding into immensity,—the ex-
act and concentrated observance of its do-
mestic interests, interests still dividing themselves
into infinite minuteness,—all this constitutes a
demand on the faculties both mental and bodily,
which few Statesmen are ably to satisfy.
The life of a distinguish6d Minister, therefore,
is seldom long. His motto must be the generous
saying of that Roman—deservedly for this, if
for no other act, called The Great,--who, when
ordered on a public mission, and deterred by his
physicians, on the ground that the attempt would
endanger his life, magnanimously replied, " It is
necessary that I should go ; but it is not neces-
sary that I should live."
The history of our public men during the last
twenty years, affords a sad though an honourable
confirmation of these remarks. Mr. PITT, Mr.
Fox, Lord LIVERPOOL, all sunk prematurely
under the weight of public care ; and the same
burden crushed down the mental constitution of
Lord CASTLEREAGH. It requires " Atlantean
shoulders," indeed, to sustain a pressure so
heavy, so painful, so constant.
Not one of the Ministers we have named,
however, more absolutely fell a victim to his vo-
cation than Mr. CANNING. His frame, though
not Herculean, was remarkably well built and vigo-
rous. His spirits were ever flowing, salient,
elastic. He was naturally cast in a fine mould,
both for single efforts of labour, and for steady
and toilsome perseverance—for enterprise and
for endurance. But the perpetual action even
of a slight over-weight will wear out the best
springs. Struggling with an enfeebled constitution,
he was called by his SOVEREIGN to his last, his
highest achievement. He obeyed the command,
he executed the service, and he perished in the
arms of success.

His friends, who during the whole of
the last Session of Parliament had obser-
ved, with infinite pain, his decaying strength,
