most disgraceful system of proffigapy and collision.
Husbands who • disliked their wives,; and Wanted. to

and then, after •going through all the regular pro-
cesses of law against the•adtilterers; obtained their'
Bills sof Divorce to enable them to marry again.--
And,there have even been instances where husbands
and wives, mutually disliking each other, and wishing
for new partners, have contrived, by tacit agreenient,
and the intervention of proper agents, to manage mat.,
ters so, that sufficient grounds were laid before Parlia.
ment for the passing of the Bills that were to product
the wished-for separation and the new marriages.—
Above twenty years ago, this corruption of morals
was openly complained of in the House of Loris; and
new regulations were adopted to check the facility of
divorces. But, in our opinion, the only effectual re-
gulation would have been, a determination to make
Divorces extremely difficult to obtain. Had this been
done, we should not have witnessed one-tenth of the
shameful trials that have polluted our Courts• of
Justice ; and husbands and wives would feel it neces-
sary to live on better terms with each other than they
have done.

This forenoon we received a Dutch Mail, bringing
Papers to the 20th inst. The following are extracts:

SALONICHI, MAY 6.
Our Governor, intoxicated with the success of his
massacres, has declared that the Sultan, by whose

orders he acted, was firmly resolved not to suffer for
the future any Christians to exist in any part of Eu-
ropean Turkey. In consequence it is proLibited to
fill up the vacant bishoprics, and the churches are
destroyed in proportion as he, can advance into the
country. Every kind of commerc( has ceased here ;
the fertile plains of Seres are changed into a desert;
the cultivation of tobacco in the Erridge is abandoned;
and all the Greeks, Bulgarians, and other Christians
have taken up arms either to conquer or die.

FRANKFORT, JUNE 13.
The Turkish Government, according to the latest
accounts from Greece, appears to intend a general
attack on the insurgents. They have the least to fear
on the west side, for as long as the Pacha of Scutari
can resist the Porte, which he still does with success,
and Chourschid Pacha is reduced to inactivity, by the
defection of the Albanians, who refuse to take the
' field against the Greeks, no sufficient force can as-
semble on that side; however, the repeated demands
of reinforcements made by the Pacha of Salonichi
have not been in vain. A considerable division of
Asiatics, on whose fidelity the Porte can depend, but

who have committed the most dreadful excesses on
their march, has enabled the Pacha not only to se-
cure his city from the farther attempts of the Mace-
donians, but also to drive away the Greeks from the
country twenty leagues round.
The•accounts from Seres, of the 18th May, give a
terrible picture of the cruelties committed by the
Turks at Agosta : above 3,000 children have been
carried off from that place and the neighbourhood,
to be brought up in the Mahometan religion. The
accounts from Seres say also, that the Pacha was
uniting his forces at Vet ia, in order to re-establish
his communication with Chourschid Pacha, and to
act in common against the Peloponnesus, which will
be the less difficult, as Larissa is still in the possession
of the Turks.
The Greeks, sensible of the fate that awaits them
if they submit, prepare to make the most obstinate
resistance. Those of Macedonia have already retired
into the defiles of Mount Olympus. The famous
Odysseus, who commands in Thessaly, had addressed
his brethren in arms, and acquainted them with the
critical state of affairs. All are looking to the future
with great uneasiness. Accounts from Italy, of the
beginning of June, say that the Pacha of Scutari has
concluded an alliance with the Montenegrins, the
object of which is, not to allow any Turkish troops
to enter the Northern part of Albania.
This Pacha, who has been declared a rebel to the
Porte, having to fight for•his life, takes advantage of
the present favourable opportunity to organize a con-
siderable force, with which he proposes to make a
vigorous resistance, if he should be attacked. A very
remarkable circumstance is, that the Pacha of Scu-
tari has considerable sums at his disposal, vibich he
draws from abroad. This proves that he is supported
by some foreign Power, but the source from which
he derives this money can only be conjectured. •
HAGUE, JUNE 19.

Yesterday, the infant son of his Royal Highness
the Prince of Orange was solemnly baptized, in the
•
new Church at Amsterdam.
The Second Chamber of the States• General meets
to-day, to deliberate on the important Message of his
Majesty, relative to the Finances.

The French Newspapers of Tuesday are barren of
intelligence. The Chamber of Deputies assembled
on the preceding day, to appoint the Committee for
examining the preparatory law on the Finances. The
Ultra Journals are still filled with accounts of insur-
rections in Spain, on which no reliance whatever can
be. placed. By the intelligence from the Turkish
, frontier,.it would seem that the entire evacuation of

The evacuation of Wallachia and Moldavia is not
'yet terminated. They were the only Asiatics who
left Bucharest, and even these are gone to fortify
Brailow. The Ottoman garrison was still there yes-
terday ; and it was rumoured at Jassy that new troops
were arriving. A. letter from Krajova of the 25th
says, that the Asiatics who bad left that town, re-
turned with reinforceents, and declare that they
will not depart, until they can come to close quarters
with the Russians.
The Turks have, it is said, given up to the Jews
for a year the use of the property of the Boyards and
of the Church.

FRANKFORT, JUNE 15.
Gold is much sought in our market for England,
in order to pay part of the loan negotiated there by
Mr. Rothschild for Russia. All the public funds rise,
particularly those of Austria.

Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Monday night:.

g, The news ieceivcd this morning, relative to Slain, are very
alarming ; the war with that country appears almost certain ;
it is also reported on 'Change that the Portuguese have sent

12,000 men, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, to join tke.Spa-
niards. A great number of troops, from varloirs parts of France,.
are in movement for that point; and Marshal Suchet is spoken
of as Commander-in-Chief of the army."

Brussels Papers to the 18th instant have been re-
ceived. One of them contains a very marvelhius
statement, on the, authority of letters from Italy
being no less than " that in the Congress which is to
be held at Florence in the month of September this
year, it will be proposed to introduce Constitutional
lot n'is of Government into several States of Italy."—
Constitutional Governments, emanating from the
Holy Alliance Junto, is the only thing wanting to
complete the wonders of this wonderful age. In con-
sequence of the deficiency in the revenue, the King
of the NETIIERLANDS proposes to the States-General
'to add a capital sum of 57,500,000 florins to the
Debt, which will produce an additional annual bur-
den of 1,725,000 florins.
An article from Schaffhausen states that the Court
of Baden has communicated to the Confederation the
measures already adopted in part, by way of reprisal
against France, on account of her prohibitory system.
The question, whether similar measures would be
advantageous to Switzerland ? will be discussed in
the next Diet.

Last night, the KING gave a Ball to the juvenile
branches of the Nobility, &c.

The Marquis and Marchioness of LANSDOWN gave
a most elegant entertainment, on Wednesday, to the
Doke of GLOUCESTER, the Duke and Duchess of SO-
MERSET, Countess GROSVENOR, Lord EnsKnis, Lord
and Lady OssuLSTON, Colonel CURREY, &C. &c. at
Lansdown House, Berkeley-square.

The Dowager Countess of CLONMELL gave a grand
entertainment on Wednesday, at her Ladyship's
splendid residence, in Portman-square.
Wednesday night, a select party of the Fashionable
World assembled at Miss BLAKES, in Henrietta-street,
Cavendish-square, being this Lady's first party. The
American Ambassador and many foreigners of dis-
tinction were present.
Mr. and the Misses BENYON had a numerous and
elegant party, last night, in St. James's-place.
The Hon. THOMAS GRENVILLE gave an elegant
entertainment, yesterday, to the Duke of BUCKING-
HAM, Lord and Lady GRENVILLE, and a large party,
at his houee in Cleveland-row.

The Battle of Waterloo, and consummation of Eng-
land's Glory and Europe's Deliverance, was celebrated.
at the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, on Wednesday night,
by additional attractions and entertainments of the
most apps opriate and splendid description. The even-
ing was delightfully fine, and the company numerous,
_elegant, and select.
Her Grace the Duchess of NEWCASTLE is recover-
ing from her late severe indisposition, which pro-
ceeded from a severe cold.

Urns Wanninavon !—Yesterday Dr. WATSON appeared at
the Judge's Chambers with two persons, to enter into sureties
for the appearance of this Radical Hero, to take hit trial. The
parties were Tsai WADI, a shoemaker, and Taos. BORMAN,
boot.claier, who were accepted; but in consequence of the Al-
dermen being chiefly out of town at an Anniversary Dinner, the
prisoner was not liberated. This day he was taken from New-
gate to the Crownwpffice to strike his Jury, when he was taken,
by order of the Judge's Clerk (Mr. DIALTILY), to Westminster,
to enter into his own recognisance, and to be discharged in
Court from custody.
A country Paper mentions that a person was litely killed by
lightning, attracted, as it is supposed, by the muesli,* his pockets.'
This is certainly the most conclusive argument that has yet been
adduced to prove the superiority:nipper !
It is gratifying to understand that the carpet, tartan, and rug
manufacturers in Bannockburn, are at present in a flourishing
state. Some of the oldest in the place say that they never cape-
. rienced in their recollection such a demand fur their wqrk.
