LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1827.

x "e received last night the Paris Papers of
kedllesday and the Etoile of Thursday, which
contained nothing of importance. But this
morning we have received by express the other
Papers of Thursday, and the Etoile dated yes-
communicate which communicate the melancholy intel-
igence of the fliS death of the King of SAXONY.----
MAJESTY expired at Dresden on the sth
The Etoile
inst., after two days' illness.
also announces that the Florence
Gazette contains a private letter from Egina,
dated the 2d of April, which states, that on
30th of March the Turks were completely de-
the
feated before Athens, by KARAISKAKI and
CoLocoTßom.
•
The discussions in the Chamber of Deputies

on the Budget still continue, and fill the columns
of the French Papers, but they are dull and un-
interesting.
Extracts from the papers are given in another
column, and we subjoin the price of the Funds
on Wednesday and Thursday.

Mr. BURKE talks somewhere of the House
of Lords being exempted from the " storm and
tempest of eloquence," as distinguishing it from
the other House of Parliament. This might have
been true in his day, but of late matters have
taken a far different turn. The Aristocracy have
quite vindicated themselves from such an aspersion,
and, as Alderman WOOD justly observes, use
language which would not be endured in that re-
gion eastward of Temple-bar, with the plebeian
manners of which the Worthy Alderman seems to
have been most unjustly taunted. But we would
tell his Worship that Billingsgate filtered through
the lips of a Noble Duke or a Right Hon. Earl,
ceases to be such, and that though it might be
called ungentlemanlike, it is nevertheless lordly,
and consequently much better than gentleman-
like, which is but a humble measure of com-
mendation.

Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE does his best to
copy the bright example set by some Noble
Peers, but he has not yet come out with a
single phrase so energetic, so replete with spirit,
point, and novely, as several employed during
the past week by the Duke of NEWCASTLE, and
the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. We admit
that Sir THOMAS used the phrase hurley burley
in talking of the removal of the late CHANCEL-
LOR of the EXCHEQUER, who "had been tossed,"
said the Baronet, " out of a situation which he
filled with so much credit-;" but though
there is a great deal of boldness and free-
dom in this one sentence, still it is not to be
compared with calling the new-made Peers
" rubbish," or saying that Mr. CANNING was
" the most profligate Minister that the country-
ever had." Mr. YATES PEEL COMeS much
nearer than this, when he says, that, " if
any one charged him with rancorous hostility,
it was an abominable falsehood." This is, in-
deed, a very pungent expression, and must
carry conviction to the minds of all. Far
from having conftentem reran, we have his
own authority for denying a charge which
only rested on circumstantial evidence, and
" slugs and a saw-pit" must be the inevitable
fate of uttered scepticism.
The late Secretary for the Home Department
disclaimed the idea of engaging in a factious
Opposition, at more length, and in a manner
less alarming to the House, than his Honour-
able Brother. Indeed we cannot see how any-
thing approaching to a formidable Opposition
can be organised. No doubt, a sagacious
contemporary observes this morning, that " the
new idol of the Press and the Whigs now totters
on his pedestal." From the context we are led
to believe that this is meant for Mr. CANNING,
but if the Right Hon. Gentleman is tottering,
we suspect that tottering must be extremely
pleasant, and that the Ultras would like to try
what sort of sensation it produces.

It appears by a return printed by order of the
House of Commons, that the sum of 6,965,051/.
was levied in England and Wales for the relief
of the poor, in the year ending the 25th March,
1826 ; and that the sum of 7,174,6471. was
expended during the same year. It further
appears that Select Vestries have been formed in
2,749 parishes, and that Assistant Overseers
have been appointed in 2,799.

It appears by au Account relative_to the Un•
redeemed Funded Debt of Great Britain, pub•
lished by order of the House of Commons, that
the Total Amount thereof, was on

sth January, 1827 X 897,098,557
while on
sth January, 1819, it wa5..,...... 832,136,446

Being an increase of £64,962,112
The Total Annual charge has also increased
during the same periud 216,2221. per annum.

We received this morning Frankfort Papeis
to the 6th instant, but they contain no political
news. The number of merchants who had gone
to the Leipsic fair was very large, and the quan-
tity of goods that had arrived was uncommonly
great :

lIEIDELBURG, APRIL 24.

The libraries of the convents of Salem and l'eluhausen,
near Constance, have been purchased for the sum of 20,000
florins, for the library of our University, which, after de-
ducting the duplicates, obtains by this means an addition
of 30,000 volumes. The city gives 12,000 florins for the
purpose of enlarging the building containing the library.
A Museum is now going to be erected here, and 54,000
florins are already subscribed towards the expense.
VIENNA, APRIL 80.-(By Express.)—Metalliques,
g 0 9-16 ; Bank Shares, 1,093.

A Bremen paper of the '3d instant, contains
some further proceedings of the Catholics of
Silesia, which will be found curiously interesting :

stLxsia, Aram 16.
We have already spoken of the highly important event
which will sooner or later have considerable influence on the
whole Catholic population of this province, namely, the
changes which the inhabitants of twelve villages in Silesia,
with the co-operation of their Clergy, have proposed to
make in their (Catholic) form of worship. The Bishop
of Breslau has applied to Berlin on this subject. Privy
Counsellor SchmAding, a Catholic, who directs the affairs
of the Catholic Church in Berlin, is gone to Silesia to
enquire into the matter on the spot. This, however, instead
of setting the business at rest, only made the inhabitants of
the villages in question more firm in their adherence to the
change. they had made, and applied directly to the King, peti-
tioning him to sanction the changes they proposed, which in-
cluded the abolition of the celibacy of the clergy, permission to
read the Bible, the singing of German hymns, and the reading
of the Mass in the German language.—To this the King
replied—" Tbat as they did not belong to the Protestant
Church, but were Catholics, he could not do this ; the
best they could do would be to apply to the Pope, and ask for
his dispensation. Should this be refused them, they might
give him notice of it, and should they be then inclined
with their religious views to join the Protestant Church,
lie would support them in his design." The Bishop of
Breslau, to whom they hate applied with a petition to
the Pope, has been placed in rather a perplexing
situation. However, he has sent the petition to
Rome, and the decision of his Holiness, is now anxi-
ously expected, though it cannot be doubted that the pe-
tition will be positively refused, because considering the en-
lightened views that hate spread among the German Ca-
tholics, especially those who live among Protestants, it
may be confidently anticipated that in a short time the
Papal see would be assailed with similar petitions from
half of Germany. The above twelve villages have a po-

pulation of SAO, or 8,500 inhabitants, most of them in
good circumstances, and who have long been distinguished
by their industry and good morals.
At Anhalt the Protestant Church has lost a great supporter
by the death of the Princess Dowager of Anhalt Zerbst (a
Princess of Arilialt Bernberg.) Though already 82 years of
age, this Princess (a sister-in-law of the great Empress
Catherine), continued to act with the energy of youth.
She supported the schools, founded charitable institutions,
and especially towards the end of her life, after the con-
version of the Duke and Duchess of Coethen to the Ca-
tholic religion, shelved herself the declared defender of
Protestantism, so that she was perpetually at variance with
the Court of Coethen, which did not hinder her from
having pamphlets and sermons printed at her own expense,
in which this defection from the Protestant religion was
openly attacked, both in its motives and its consequences.

We received yesterday, from Liverpool, New
York Papers to the 1741, Baltimore and
Boston to the 15th, and Charleston to the 7th
April, but they contain no news of political im-
portance.

The following are a few extracts :

" NEW YORK, APRIL 15.—The following article,
which we copy from the York (Upper Canada) Freeman
of the Bth inst., shows that the report of the state of public
feeling had not been exaggerated.
"By the naturalization bill, the torch of Canadian inde-
pendence has been kindled, and bas sent forth a blaze of
light which is visible from one extremity of the province to
the other. The effect is tremendous; as well might the
secret agents of corruption attempt to veil the sun in its
meridian, as to hide it. Petitions are getting up in all
directions, against the bill, and thousands are signing._....
In Young-street, we hear, the whole mass of the people
are signing ; in Niagara and Gore district!, all, we hear,
who are not quitting the country in disgust, will sign ; in
parts of the district of Newcastle, they are almost in a
state of distraction. We have been written to for en ad-
ditional number of copies of the ptition. A large meeting
is convened at Port Hope on Saturday next, and there, we
are informed, the natural-born subjects are equally exas-
perated and indignant against the measure. Nearer hand,
in Whitby, where a meeting was called for last Monday,
they are determined to resist it to a man, and that to the
very last extremity.
By the schooner Swift, at this port, from Laguayra, we
hare advices to the 28th March. Bolivar was still at Ca-
raccas : he has sent away his staff, and the troops which
accompanied him down from Bogota.
The Colombian ship of war, of 61 guns (formerly the
Plato, built at Baltimore), sailed about ten days previous,
for Carthagena. A Colombian sloop of war, Capt. Brown,
and a French and Danish frigate, were lying at Laguayra;
the former was bound to Puerto Cabello, for repairs.
FROM 1110 JANEIRO.—The brig Edward, Captain
Calder, has arrived at Baltimore from Rio, whence she
sailed on the 27th of February. A passenger states, that
the Buenos Ayrean army had advanced into the heart
of the province or Rio Granue. Rumour u had also
reached Rio that a general battle had taken place between
the Buenos Ayrean and Brazilian armies in that province,
in which the latter were defeated. It was reported
that the Emperor had received dispatches from the
seat of war in relation to this event, but no intelligence
of their contents had been suffered to transpire, a circum-
stance which strengthened the belief that the information
was of a disastrous character to the Brazilian arms. The
Emperor was endeavouring to raise an additioq body of
troops, to be sent to Rio Grande. We learn that the
United States' ship Cyane was at Santos, undergoing
some repairs, previous to her sailing for the United States.
EXTRA SESSION..--The Serrate has concurred in the
resolution of the House to have an extra session of the Le-
gislature, for the purpose of passing upon the revised laws
of the state. It is understood that the session (which is to
be held on the 2d Tuesday in September) will be devoted
to that.purpose exclusively, and that whatever petitions
may he presented, or business proposed, none will be acted
upon unless the subject be of the utmost public interest.
CASE OF' SEDUCTION.—A case of seduction was tried
in the Court of Common Pleas of this city, says the New
York Commercial, in which Miss Wilhelmina Cooper
recovered a verdict for the sum of six hundred dollars,
against her betrayer, master Gulian Rutan, an infant. The
Counsel for the defendant made an earnest appeal in behalf
of his client, for a mitigation of damages, on account of his
tender years. But Mr. Price insisted that though an in-
fant, he was, nevertheless, old enough to be the father of
an infant, and should therefore be made to smart for his
juvenile perfidy—Savannah Georgian.
A Dual,.—A meeting took place on the 23d March, in
Kentucky, near the Tennessee line, between Mr. C. M.
Smith and Mr. Brank—the latter was shot dead on the
first fire. They were both lawyers, and residents of Co-
lombia, Maury County.

' Mr. Ovcrs.—A writer in the Intelligencer contradicts
the statement lately published, that Mr. Owen's establish-
ment at New Harmony has been broken up. It is not the
case. Some few families have left the settlement, but
others have arrived.

Gen. Clarke has returned to St. Louis, Missouri.—The
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians have rejected the propo-
sitions of the commissioners, and refused to sell their lands.
A gentleman from St. Domingo states, that the political
concerns of the country wear rather a more favorable aspect
than formerly; the export duty of 20 dollars per 100011 as.
of Coffee has been taken off. This is depriving the French
of any advantage which they formerly possessed over others
in exporting for half duties.—Philadelphia Paper.

A report is in circulation that four sail of the
line and several frigates, have sailed from Brest
for Cadiz, supposed with troops, to relieve part
of the garrison in that fortress.

A vessel is arrived from the Havannah, after a short
passage, which is stated to bring accounts of a partial en-
gagement between Laborde and Commodore Porter, in which
the former was defeated.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

The English Funds have not been so buoyant as yester-
day, and a flatness seems to attend the market ; early in
the morning some expectation was enteraained that infor-
mation might possibly have been elicited from Mr. Canning
last night as to the measures he means to recommend in
the matters of the finance of the country, in which, however,
they were disappointed, and this may probably have caused
the almost cessation of business which attended the English
Stock market. Consols closed yesterday at S 3, buyers,
and opened this morning at 82i 3, for money and ac-
count, which was the only price until a few minutes since,
when they took a turn and advanced to 83k, for account,
and 8:34 for the opening ; Money Stock continues scarce ;
India Bonds are 73 5 ; and Exchequer Bills, 47 S pm,
The Foreign Funds have had very little business done in
them to-day. Colombian Bonds have been heavy and de-
clined to 324, after being 33} 4. The little infcrmation
that has been gleaned from the American Papers, received
by the New York packet ship, still continues unfavourable
to any expectation of the unpaid dividends being forth-
coming. Mexican Bonds are flat, being 69 i; Brazilian
have not improved, being 60 In Shares the quotations
are rather lower, Colombian are 10 12 per Share ; Bolanos,
SO, 60 die. ; Tlalpuxahua, 5 dis. par. ; Real del Monte,
