(POPULAR DISMISSAL OF AN ABSOLUTE FAVOUR-
ITE•)—" ZINGAN I now became absolute in the King's
favour, and began his authority by turning out every
person front their offices and governments who had been
appointed by the former Vizier. He removed all BA LI N's
friends and relations from the royal presence, con-
stituting MA I toM MED, who resided at Delhi, Vizier
of the Empire, and CUTCHLEW, Lord of Re-
quests. When . he returned to Delhi with the
King, he every where disturbed the public peace
and oyerset the fundamental laws of the country. The
Emperor again mustered his army, and began his march
towards the river Bea, for Sit Etta had unfortunately, at
this time, been defeated by the rel:els of the province of
Sind, and lost several forts in Muultan. This fur-
nished the favorite with an opportunity of disgracing
hint with the king who turned him out of his Viceroyship,
which lie conferred upon Ansi Lt.s, and then returned to
his ca:;ital. ' * The government of the chief
Secretary became by this time so invidious to the whole
Emii;e, tha: almost all the governors of provinces en-
Wed into an association, and sent an embassy to Bs Lt
the Iltrtner Vizier, informing him that the government
cf the country was quite subverted, ani that the op-.
pression and arrogance of ZINGANi were beyond expaes-
sion : that they were therefore desirous he should po-
cred to Delhi, and take the Empire, ;16 formerly, under
his wise conduct and discretion. l .tLIx consented,
and, according to appointment, all the °ninths met, with
their forces, one day at Foram. MA 11 mouD and his Chief
Secretary ZINGAN t, upon receiving this intelligence,
marched with the imperial forces to disperse the insur-
gents ; but when the Royal army advanced au far as Hassi,
BA LI N and the rest of the °torahs, sent an address to the
King to the followingpurpcse : "That they were his loyal
subjects, and were satisfied to kiss the foot of his throne, so
he would banish Zi NGANt front his presence." The Ent-.
peror was under the necessity of either consenting to this
request, or to lose his Empire. He therefore dism:ss
the obnoxious favourite from his presence, and stnt hi a
to Badaoon.—Dow's Ifindostan.

the mean time a large quantity of bread-corn was brought
to Rome ; being partly inught up in Italy, and partly
a present front GEtox, King of Syracuse. The
aspect of affairs appeared now to be encouraging, and
it was hoped that the intestine broils would cease
with the scarcity. The Senate therefore being imme-
diately assembled, the people stood in crowds without,
waiting for the issue of these deliberations. They ex-
pected that the market-rate for the corn that was bought
would be moderate, and that a distribution of that which
was a gift would be made gratis ; for there were some
Senators who made a motion to that purport. But
MA RCM% stood up, and severely censured those
who spoke in favour of the conintonalty, calling
them " demagogues" and " trailers to the No-
bility." He said, " They nourished to their own
ultimate prejudice the pernicious seeds of boldness end
petulance, which had been sown among the populace,
when they should have rather nipped them in the bud,
and not have suffered plebeians to strengthen themselves
with the tribunitial power." a
la a note upon this passage, we are told that "
TA ItCll has omitted the most aggravating passage in
CORIOLAN rs's speech, in which he proposed holding
up the price of bread-corn as high as ever, in order
to keep the people in subjection and dependence."—
See Wrangham's Edition of Langhorne's Plutarch,
volume ii. There is a singular coincidence in
the unpopularity cf the opinions promulgated by
the " GREAT CAPTAINS"Of ages SO widelyapart, upon
the " Corn Laws" of their respective times.
Pit Ae• ricAL Humurrv.—During the time that Sir
Tnom As MORE was Lord Chancellor of England, he
used to send his Gentleman Usher to his wife's pew after
divine service was done, to tell her he was gone ; but the
next Sunday after he gave up his Chancellorship, he
came himself to her pew, and used the usual words of
his Gentleman Usher, " Madam, my Lord is gone."-
Camden's Remains.

PERIPATETIC PHILOSOPHY.—The worst parts in
the Peripatetic Philosophy are not the work of ARIS-
TOTLE, but of his disciples. The logic of the University
of Paris, and others, where ARISTOTLE is taught, is the
art of talking unintelligibly on subjects we know nothing
about.-31eitage.

The late Lortl CASTLEUEA6II must hare been by na-
ture the peripatetic philosopher of such a school—its
boast, and ornament.

The first division nf Perttigeese that left this port for
Terceira, but were endered off that island by the English
squadron, and afterwards landed in France , have received
an intimation fitm tl.e Trelt et of the Department ia
which they reside, that they are to be disseminated in va-
rious parts of France. Thu received their route last
Tuesday, as the French Goverment will not allow more
than six officers or twelve men in each town. The grief
of these brave men cannot be described ; they say that
the French emigrants were treated quite in another man-
ner in their country ; the Priests were well lodged in the
convents, and the officers admitted into their army.—

The Countess of Liverpool, Hills master, which arrived
here on Monday, brought dispatches for the representa-
tive of the young Queen Donna Math da Gloria, in
London. The Countess of Liverpool eluded the vigilance
of the blockading squadron during a fog. At the time
she left, all the fortifications were nearly completed : the
garrison was considered impregnable, and the troops were
confident of success in the event of another visit from
Don Miguel's squadron. The only thing the inhabitants
were in want of was wine and cloth. The Countess of
Liverpool brought three passengers from the island : one
of them is a well-known female shot, whose marria:ze
with a Portuguese officer some time ago excited a consi-
derable degree of risibility.—Plymouth Journal
Monday last being the anniversary of the birth of the
Emperor 'Don Pedro, the Portuguese in this neighbour-
hood celebrated the event with every demonstration of
respect and loyalty. Several of the officers dined at
Hannaford's Commercial Inn, Old Town-street, and at
Gambell's Custom-house Parade, both of which houses
were brilliantly illuminated. Those Portuguese who did
not join the festive board illuminated the windows of
their respective lodgings.—Plymouth Journal.
An order has been received from London for all the

Portuguese non-commissioned off►cers and soldiers quar-
tered in this town, to hold themselves in readiness to
embark for Terceira. A similar order has, we under-
stand, been issued to the Portuguese troops in France.—
