stets have done, the utmost latitude to the

of the Charter—in admitting dl to the right of elec
dna whom -the Charter has declared capable ci
electing—and preserving the right of all pure and
entire, by securing to them the direct and immediate
election of the Deputies—they have evinced an incli.
nktion towards a more general and free represent..
tion of the people, which is deserving of every prz:Je.
They have drawn from the Charter tall that it cm-
tains in favour of liberty, without trespassing t: e
limits which it prescribes—they have given r 3 ux
Representative System all the extension, all the farce,
which the Charter permits it to take—they hue
assured to the Chamber all the weight and respecta-
bility which, under existing circumstances, can belong
to it—and have, in fine, added to the strength of zh::
Government itself, in place of disturbing its prop's
by the intervention of a set of Electoral Assemb!iN
alike treacherous to public liberty, and dangerous to
public order.

ROME, SEPTEMBER 20.

His Holiness continues to enjoy x very good state
of health, and we have the pleasure of seeing him
every day taking his rides into the country.

VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 2S.

It is not merely the Ministers of Sweden and Sar-
dinia, but also those of Spain and N ip'es, who require
from the Turkish Government privileges for tke na-
vigation of their. Flags in the Black Sea. It appears
that the Divan attaches great importance to this point,'
and that it will grant nothing without obtaining other
very considerable advantages, respecting which, bow.
ever, it will be difficult to make an arrangenient satis-
factory to all parties.

Monday, the 3d of November, in the day Sled, at
present, for the QUIRSIN'S leaving. Windsor, on her visit
to Batb, of which we gave notice yesterday. From
the excellence of the lath road. it is hoped, that her
MAJtsTY will be able to make the journey in one day,
and hitherto no arrangements have been made, upon
any other supposition ; but doubtless there will be
offers of several intermediate bosses. One of the Royal
Chaplains will attend her bluarrt, audit is supposed,
that Lady licitheraa will be the Lady •in waking.
Two houses have been taken for a month in New
Sydney-place—those of Lady Camorra Dam
and Sit GUARD Non.

THE LITERARY Gazerre.—The attention of the
,iterary World has been much drawn towards this
iteresting Publicatiqn, by Ole discussion of a proposal
If the Abbe Gamma end Sir CHAS. MORGAN, &C.
dative to the assembling of a LITERARY CoNOREIS
,or the advaicement of Science and Civilization.
T!.e consummation cf such a plan would -doubtless
be attended with incalculAble benefit. Herodotus and
vythagoras, travelling through foreign countries, and
iscoursing•with the Philosophers,of Thebes and the
2ricsts of Memphis, concerning customs and man-
gers, afford an image of what Historians, Antigua.
'jails, and Philosophers would perform at the Con-
; of what DU THOU FLEURI, GUiCHARDINI.
nd RoBEETHIN woold have done, had they lived
I %ler the proper circumstances. The Fine Arts
would also live their representatives; and the plea-
-I,ires they afford would render them a general relaza-
•,m to all, no less than an occupation to their respec-
,ve professors.

!FORMING, SEPTEMBER I.

I am tent aware that a single drop of rain has fallen
between Saturday and this evening. The *hole face
of the country is of course immensely changed ; and
that which was lately the subject of regret will, I
twit, be a source of permanent• good. I apprehend
it cannot now be said that we have not hid sofficient
rain to MI out the ears. The contrary of this is ad•
mined, as it mast be after the c implaints recently
made of the wet, a very few days like this, and im-
pudence itself will not deny that a good opportunity
has been afforded for drying and carrying that which
has already been cut. Much. however, remains
standing, and to my eye its appearance is highly gra-
tifying. To compare the present crops with those of
former years, is that which I cannot pretend to do;
belt of this T am certain, that wherever I have been.
I have seen no wheat beaten down by the rains—none

destroyed by the smut, both which sights have in
former yeas been common. In one field some of
the wheat which had been cut peevious to the late
rains, seemed to be decaying in its shell, but the evil
was even there but of a very partial nature.

SOUTH AMERICA..

" LWOW /ROM AWILL4. +Our latest advice: from
that place are of the ilUth inst. In consequence of
expected reinforcements not having arrived, General
McGregor still remains on the Island, placing it in a
posture of defence that will warrant its security
against any contingency which may hereafter happen.
The complete apparatus for a printing establishment
has been received, and a newspaper is about to be
issued. The General is likewise seaboubly engaged
.in organizing the Executive and Judiciary Depart.
menu, and enforcing salutary regulations for the
preservation of good order throughout the territories
occupied by his troops.
- ca The Provincialists. residing on what may be
considered the boundary line between the Spaniards
and Independents, appear somewhat apprehensive
that their property may sustain injury from the con-
flicts of the contending parties $ and. as might have
been reason* expected, are anxious to be relieved
from their apprebenstons, by being taken under the.
protection of the United States; of which event they
believe the present expedition to be the precursor. In
other respects, the people of the Province, with very
of., exceptions, are apparently contented, as the new
Authorities have abstained from persecutions of every
kind, and have maintained a religious regard for the
rights of every individual within their jurisdiction.
No man's property has been seized, as had been falsely]
l'etated, since the arrival of the Patriots. The only,
negroes who have been confiscated under the existing
Government, were captured in a slave ship in the,
l'hiwbour of Fernandina. Neither is the report of se-

Hiiehl Officers having abandoned the expedition enti-
ded to credit. Every one remains firm in his
allegiance to the cause of liberty, and the whole
army, with the exception of three or four dean.
dons, (occurrences to be looked for and which
will happen in every military enterprise) remain
faithful and determined to complete the undertaking
in which they have embarked. So far is the expedi-
tion from having already arrived at it: acme, that we
are warranted in saying, ample reinforcements and
supplies are now on their way, and that Ahe reduc-
tion of the Floridas is inevitable, unless Spain should
render it unnecessary, by seedily relinquishing her
cliims to them in favour or the United States."—
(Savannah .Retualolican, July 24.)

The contagious fever continues to spread desola-
tion through Ireland. Originating in filth, want.
and confinement, it tagea with greatest fury in gaols
and circuit towns. Mr. Wm. Rinciawsy, an eminent
lawyer, has fallen a victim to a lever caught while
attending his
.professional duty on circuit at Tiim.

of King's Bench, lies dsogerously ill with a like

DUBLIN, AUGUST SO.

Mr. Straw, accompanied by several Gentlemen de-
puted by, different parishes of the City of Dublin,
having attended the CH411011.1.011 of the Excuacluart,
at she Castle thirday, to request his support of the
Petitions presented to the House of Commons in the
' last Session of Parliament, for the Repeal of the Win-
dow Taza--and having stated the hardships which
the pressure of that Tax, and other Government and
Local Taus, inflicted on the poorer classes of the
citizens. Mr. VANSITTART entered into a discussion
of the subject at some length with the Deputation.
He stated it to be impossible for him to concur in. an
application for the Repeal of the Window Tax in
Irelana, while the necessities of the State required its
continuance in another part of the Empire; but ex-
pressed his willingness to take into consideration any
circumstances of peculiar or partial hardship, and to
attend to any suggestion for remedying them, and for
that purpose be.requested that any particular obser-
vation which the Deputation might have to.offer
should be consmtuticated to the Board of Excise, and
added, that be should be happy to attend tome!' ob..
servations as far as might be 40.11iSteldvitli the is-
Wens of the Revenue. • ..
In order to relieve cases of inequality, it was sug-
gested, OR the part of the Deputation, that a conk
mutation of a pan of the duty for a tax on the Value
of houses might be a desirable and, equitable modifi-
cation. To this Mr. VANSITTART stated, that he.saw.
no objection, as a similar tax existed in England, but
the particular regulations and mode of valuing might
involve much difficulty—that be had already
,giver;
directions for inquiry on the subject, with a view to
ascertain the practicability of such a proceeding.
The subject of the tax on jaunting cars having been
mentioned in the course of the converbation Mr.
Vansirraar stated, that the inquiries he had aitleady
made had lei him to believe that a reddction in that
duty might take place, considering it to press uith
considerable severity,under the present circumstances
of the couotry, and that he was willing to consent to
reduce the duty to two guineas.
Imam Pt.ors.—The Dublin Frame's Journal, in
giving a history of the Irish conspiracies since 1811,
enumerates the following:—Paddy M'Kew's Plot,
the Keegan Plot, the Ruscrea Plot, the Carrickfin-
*an Plot, the MiGiveran Plot, the Garvagh Plot,''
the Dingan Plot, the Kells Plot, the Bandon or Rat
Trap Plot All these Plots Were executed in a bung-
ling way, and bear strong marks of the manufacture
of the 1111111 e Artists. A pro.ecuti.,n for perjury; it
is said, is commenced against Owens and Warring,
two of the workmen in the Kells Plots.

ISLE. OF IVIGHT.

The picturesque scenery of this island, and mild-
ness of its climate, have long made it a great at-
traction naistrangers; independently of the high claim
to which spme parts of the island are entitled as
bathing places. Wall the objects of natural grandeur
in this part, none are auperior in sublimity to the
Cliffs which heave' up thnir high and rocky sides, at
the back of the island, against the ocean's rage.—
These Cliffs, some of theM several hundred feet per-
pendicular, strange to tell, are not yet defended by
any kind of railing, wall, or fence, on the land side ;
the ground being cultivated to the very ediße of the
precipices, without any barrier whatever. Phis has
been the cause of many fatal, accidents, particularly
to strangers. During the present summer two car-
limes and horses, both belonging to strangers. were
kipitated,down these cliffs, and dashed to pieces,
and nothing but the interposition of DIVINE PRCIVI•
DENCIC saved the parties that rode in the Vehicles from
the same fate. Many other persons. we hear, have
also perished in the same way, from time to time, in
a drunk, and even a sober state ; and it is notorious
=' Li-lanai*. are conasansly fallittgrorrero—
urreace of stub 'fatal accidents is a great se
flettion upon the policy, and public spirit which
hak lately shone forth in the island, and which, we
hope. will speedily be exerted to prevent a recurrence
of such dreadful scenes. What renders these Cliffs
the more dangerous to a stranger. is, that they can-
not be seen, from the interior, until the victim arrives
at the verge of his destruction ; and because. from
the frequent crumbling down, and giving way of the
top part of the precipices, there is no certain guide,
line, or mark, to warn off the unwary visitor.

MADRID, AITGL7S-r

The cities of Cadiz end Ferrol have both addressed
their respectful felicitations to the King on the new
Law of Finances. Of the general concurrence of the
great cities, there is Do doubt; but we repeat, with
regret, that in the interior obstacles multiply.
The Minister of Finance has just communicated to
the Directors General of the Public Revenue a Royal
Cli der, of which the following is the tenour :
44 To avid every sort of inequality in the reparti-
filo of the general contribution of the kingdom ; and
to prevent those who contribute from taming by
the dihene..t inclinations of those who would conceal
their property or their income in any manner what-
ever, his Majesty ordains that he who shall be Con-
victed of bad faith in his declarations, shall be con-
demned to pay quadruple the amcuat for which he
was originally assessed, and the fine shall be given to
the informer. His Majesty has seen with pain that
in some places there has been an arbitrary assessment
made on the property of individuals without any re-
gard to the real value of their estates, but with an
eye solely to their apparent value. He therefore en•
joins all Intendants and Juntas of Contributions to
take the most energetic measures to prevent such in-
injustice from falling on the contributors, and to re-
move the difficulties that lie in the way of those who
would petition or complain, in the belief that they were
aggrieved. The most opulent proprietors are Lvited
besides to forward the measurement of the lands of
their district, the valuation of the houses, and other
objects of that nature, in order to prevent abuses,
and to perfect the system of assessment."
It is easy to perceive that the law of the finances
experiences opposition, net because it is disagreeable
to the proprietors, but because opinions and circum-
stances are not yet brought to harmonize with the
new arrangement. The success of the plan is sub-
jected (if we may so express ourselves) to the good
faith of the contributors ; but at the same time the
nation is convinced of the necessity of meeting the
wants of the State, and the preamble to the Royal
Decree has opened all eyes.

A French journal publishes the following extract
fmm a private letter from Cadiz I
" We think it proper to inform you, In order to direct you In
your commercial speculations, that a formidable expedition win
speedily dryart from Europe to make an attack on Buena. Ayres:
and what may perisaps appear to you more remarkable is, that
" this expedition willed is comsat with assist es ts from oder Fears,

ment will put to sea in September or October."

GERMAN PAPERS.

List night we received a supply of German Pa-
pers, from which we have given some extracts in
another column. The Prussian Journals begin to
exhibit a curious aspect since the establishment of
Censors of the Press. Those parts which displease
the Censor, when struck out, are left blank. The
abuse of die English continues in the German Papers.
One of these wise-acres very gravely remarks that
" the hatted ofthe British, which chews itself more and
more strongly every day, in every nation, has, un-
doubtedly, been inspired by PROVIDENCE for the wised
purposed, and we can consider it in no other light than
as a salutary phenomenon in the history of nations."

A H.imburgh Mail brought us this mottling a
farther supply of German Papers, from which we
subjoin some extracts. The most striking article in
these Journals relates to an affray of rather a serious
ohture between the citizens And military at Breslow,
in which the latter fired cannon upon the people.—
Tire notice which appears on this subject in the Al.l
'Jona Mercury is, however, so brief that see are left en.'

SOUTH AMERICA.

The Brazil Packet has brought letters from Rio
Janeiro to the 29th of October, which state that the
Portuguese were advancing, and had already entered
that part of the Buenos Ayres territory nearest their
own frontiers. The Commander.in.Chief had issued
a proclamation addressed to the inhabitants of Mon•
tevideo, and the eastern bank of the River Plate,'
declaring that the Portuguese came as friends, for
the purpose of restoring order and liberating them
from the dominion of ARTIGAS, whom he threatens
to exterminate. The further views of the Portuguese
are not explained, nor is aay thing said of their acting
on behalf of Spain. Some accounts also add, that
so firm was the belierof the Brazilian army taking
Montevideo, that already vessels with passengers had
left Rio Janeiro for that place, and mercantile specu-
lations were also on foot for the same destination.

On the other hand, we are advised that AaTIOAS
has an army of 7,000 men, part of which. are well
disciplined troops of the line, and the remainder light
cavaky. He has been successful in some skirmishes,
and is said to have penetrated into the Brazil territory
from another point. It is added. that his plan is to
grant freedom to the slaves, rouse the inhabitants of
the interior, levy contributions, and also declare the
country independent of the Brazilian Government.
The advice. relating to Buenos Ayres by the same
conveyance are not of 60 late a date as those we have
already received direct, and which came up to the
26th October. They however inform us. that great
levies of troops were forming ; that a great inunda-
tion had been experienced in the River, which had
done great damage, and occasioned the loss of
Spanish prize and 'sew, with the exception of three
men; and that General BELOItAI4O had assumed the
command of the army acting in Peru.
As to the contest between Spain and her Colonies,
we learn by levers (tom Madrid that a course some-
what similar to that which was followed by this
country, after the contest with our American Colo
,mists had been carried on for some time, is about to
be adopted. A Commission has been named to pro-
ceed to Buenos Ayres and Mexico, with full autho-
rity to olfrr the most liberal concessions, on the part
of Old Spain, to the South American Provinces, upon
condition of returning to their allegiance.
Atnorg the Comm.: Linen, who are all of the first
respeetabnity and of okoderate principles, are Gene-
rals WiIITTISOHAM and Rocas, both of whom have
so much destingu;shed themselves in the Peninsular
war, and who have also served in South America.

We have no hesitation in expressing our hope and,
wish that the result may he similar to what took place
i North America. What can the Sou b Americans,
gain ? What can the world gain, by the retura of
these colonies to the yoke of such a tyrannical,
bigoted, stupid government, as that of Old Spain !
This would be one of the greatest public calamities
that could befal the maritime states of Europe--espe•
cially Great Lisitain.

TNE4TRIS.

DaußT•LAtss.—Last night SHAICSIVAIIIt'S tragedy
of Mae loth was performed at this Theatre, for the
purpose of introducing Miss CAMPSILL in the charac-
ter of Lady Macbeth. This tragedy is in itself one
of the richest feasts which SHAKSIMAISZ'S powerful
Imagination Affords us. It is the most classical of
all his productions, and in the various positions of .
horrible effect in which the principal characters are
placed, are Afforded opportunities for the exertion of
the highest dramatic powers ; it is from this circum•
stance ilia the hero and heroine of the piece have
louA been considered as the touchstones of the actor's
powers. Mr. KRAN's Macbeth is one of those extra-
ordinary delineations of character, which wrap us in
amazement. Last night his performance was most
; as usual, his dagger scene was a chef
d'euvre ; in the banquet scene, he, if possible, tran-
scended himself, and when he had concluded, the
whole was crowned by the loudest applauses.—
But the novelty of the evening was Miss CAMPBELL'S
Lady Mackth. This young Lady has certainly ta•
lents, and after a longer acquaintance with the boards
of this Theatre, we hive no doubt will prove an ac-
quisition. At present she has many habits to over-
come, and some things to acquire before she can be
considered an adequate representative of the ambi-
tious Thane's wife. Ludy Macbeth is undoubtedly one
of the most arduous characters, and perhaps we
should rather congratulate Miss CAMPRELL on having
succeeded so well, did we not believe her talents are
butfitient to secure unqualified success. Her best
scene was the last ; she was loudly cheered on her
first entrance, and throughout applauded universally.
Mr. RAE played Macduf with great propriety. Mr.
G. Stunt, who soppy: ted the part of Hecate, had like
• This night to spend,
Unto a fearful and a dismal end"--.

For, as lie was about to " fly by night" in the ma-
chine appropriated, instead of a broomstick, to the
at 641 journeys of Hecate, part of the tackling gave
way, and the cicada tell upon the stage. Hecate and
the associate witches escaped, we are happy to say,
uninjured. The house was crowded.
COVENT-GAP.DEN.—A crowded house last night
witnessed the Juliet ni Miss O'NEILL. We have re-
peatedly seen her in this interesting character, and,
while she continues to play it as she did last night,
neither the public nor ourselves can feel the approach
of ennui while viewing her performance. Her recep.
tion was most gratifying—and all her scenes, parti-
cularly that in which she swallows the narcotic, were
enthusiastically applauded. Mr. C. KENNA being
indi►posed, the part of Romeo was sustained by Mr.
M'CRSADY. The volatile spirit of Merced* was hap-
pily expressed, and the character rendered very effec-
tive by Mr. Jornss.

Mr. BENNE rTid _ it certainly WAS his wish to

Mr. 8. worrLEY thought the Bill of too much

Mr. BENNET!' acknowledged that. from the

he feared it could not be passed in the present Ses-

The tone and temper of the opposition were, however,
such as compelled him reluctantly to postpone the'

in the name of tl:e morals of the people of England,
