NOVEMBER 11.
AT TWO 0 CLUCK

The Lords of Plantations are to meet on Friday
morning at ten o'clock, at the Council Office, White-
hall, on the subject of Petitions. Lord WIN FORD, Pre-
sident.

It is not our intention to dismiss the speech of Mr.
O'Cownzu. so superficially ; regarding it—as to all in-
tents and purposes it is—as a Manifesto of the Honourable
and Learned Agitator's principles, throwing much
light both retrospectively and perspectively, on
his past actions no less than on his meditated
proceedings. When he says he wants, and he must
have, a repeal of that cursed measure—phraseology, in
which deep disaffection struggles for mastery with indecent
egotism—we would remind him of the old nursery pro-
verb, which is anything but pointless in his case : MUST
IS FOR THE KING. Moreover, the Hon. Gentleman may
rely upon it, that—let him agitate and organize as he
will—this " must"—can be never for O'CoNNELL.

The seven millions, if they give themselves up impli.
citly to his guidance and Su Et is, are no doubt capable of
enormous perpetrations--and may perpetrate, to the
extent of their capabilities ; but it will recoil, to political
dissolution, on the devoted instruments of " agitation."
If the repeal of the Union should be demanded with
menaces and with arms by Ireland—and to this hostile
reclamation Mr. O'CONNELL more than points—that
unhappy country will be re-subjected to her chains and
penalties. Martial law will supersede her civil jurispru-
dence, and " a repeal"—but not that which her agitators
demand—will put the finishing stroke to her rebellion
and her pretensions. What does the Hon. and Learned
Member mean, by " the common cause of seeing old
Ireland great and glorious amongst the nations of
Europe ?" How can she be " great and glorious," except
as an integral portion of the British Empire ? How can
Ireland be " great and glorious" alone ? Does O'Cou-
N ELL mean, that—as an independent State—she is to
shine with " greatness and glory" among the kingdoms ?
It is time that such daring language were examined.
Mr. O'Cox NELL renews in this speech his fulmina-
tions against the Established Church, and his phraseology
on that subject is. remarkable. He goes to Parliament,
he says—" toco-operate with the pious MOUNTCASIIEL
in his holy crusade against the Church :" but here we
must let him speak for himself—
,. Thank God, I stand the representadve of the people. Igo to
Parliament to seek the redemption of the West Indian slave—to
remove the monopoly of the east—to cleanse the Augean stable
of the law—to cooperate with the pious Mountcaabel in
his holy crusade against the Church—for indeed the way to
heaven is not paved with gold, nor is a coach and its the
most suitable conveyance ; for as well might a balloon
be employed to convey his Majesty's mail, as we should
think of going to heaven by the help of Tithes and Vestry Bills.
I shall combine every energy of my mind for the good of the
people ; I shall know no distinction between man and man.—
Ireland shall be my object. The rich man will want a
vote towards the renovation of the law—the poor man will
want it more ; for I contend that the law should be made
accessible to the latter, as a protection whist the oppres-
sion of the former. lam now on my way to DAN. ; see shall I
be there a fortnight. when a society, having for its title " Seven-
teen Hundred and Eighty-two," shall be formed. I dare say I
shall have but few members enrolled In it at first ; but like the
mighty oak, which spreads and overshadows the desert—resisting
for centuries the most furious blasts of the elements—so shall
" Seventeen Hundred and Elghtrtwo" extend Its influence
throughout Inland, nor cease until bee Parliament be restored—
her sons be u one creed, joined is the commas cause of seeing
old Ireland great and glorious amongst the madam of Europe."
We will not detract from the pregnancy and force of
these sentences farther by commentaries to-day: but
we cannot forbear to remark on the gloomy prospect
of the sister kingdom, if—now that she has obtained
emancipation—she peril the conceded boon, by following
blindfold, wherever he may please to lead her, this tur-
bulent and disaffected man.

Two reports of considerable importance are in circula-
tion—the sudden departure of the Greek PRESIDENT for
the Russian Head-quarters, and the existence of a nego-
tiation for erecting a Monarchy in Greece. With
respect to the visit of the PRESIDENT, it is difficult
to conceive what can have led to it, unless there
is some project in embryo for bringing about a more
active co-operation of the Rambla army in favour of
the New State. Should the ripest be trite, we do not
hesitate to say, that' such a visit aS the present
moment ought to be looked on with gnat sus-
picion by the Ministers of this co4ntry. If, as we
are informed, any additional toys have been.colleeted in

< •
•

the lonian Wands, nothing could be more calculated

to excite the fears of CAPo DISTAIAS and the other crea-
tures of Russia who se thickly surround him.. Whether
he has proceeded to Adrianople or not, we are convinced
that every effort will be made to increase and perpetuate
the influence of the Autocrat. As connected with this
grand object, we should not be at all surprised if the com-
motions announced to have taken place in Albania and Epi-
rus,

, furnished the ex-Minister of ALE x ti DER with a pre-
text for calling in the aid of a Russian auxiliary corps.
The rising of the Montenegrins is a curions coincidence.
The Greek Bishop, who governs these warlike hordes, is
warmly devoted to Russia, and has always been in close
communication with CAPO DISTRIAS, to whom he is
probably indebted for his power and mitre.
Touching the second report, we shall be glad to hear
it confirmed. Satisfied as we are, that the interests of
Europe, as well as Greece, render it absolutely necessary
that a strong Government should be formed there without
delay—we are, nevertheless, decidedly of opinion, that
not one of the candidates hitherto named, is fit to be
placed at the head of the new State. Those who know
any thing of the internal situation of Greece, and
the diversity of interests which are constantly
clashing there, need not be informed of the
difficulties which would beset a young Prince, super-
ficially versed in the science of Government, and
unacquainted with military tactics. We maintain that
there is no chance either of establishing tranquillity
among the heterogeneous materials of the proposed State,
or forming it into a great Power, such as the exigen-
cies of Europe now require, unless the individual
issiimed to occupy the new throne is largely
gifted both with civil and military talents. It were to be
wished that a second BERNADOTTE COUld be found. At
this moment, we can scarcely name another who pos-
sesses all the requisites for the arduous and difficult task
of governing Greece.

The order recently issued for removing the Spanish
Patriot, General MIL ANS and his family, from Mont-
pelier to Bourges, a distance of two hundred miles,
is a pretty strong indication of the sentiments of the
PoLio sc Ministry, and their anxiety to prolong the
despotism of FERDINAND. MILANS was among the
bravest officers of the constitutional government, and the
companion of LACY, during the attempt made by that
heroic but unfortunate soldier, to break the fetters of his
country in 1817. Notwithstanding the precautions of
M. DE POLIONAC and his friends, we can assure him
that the spirit of freedom is not dead either in Spain or
Portugal, and that however gloomy the present aspect of
affairs may be, the resuscitation of both is, perhaps, not
quite so remote as their enemies would fain imagine.
•

We do not attach the smallest credit to a report, said
to have been communicated by an American Captain,
lately arrived at Cadiz from the Havannah, relative to a
second expedition of 2,500 men being about to reinforce
the Spanish troops in Mexico. In the first place, we have
reason to know that there were not half the number
of disposable troops in Cuba,,and in the second, that the
well known anxiety of the inhabitants to throw off the
yoke of Spain, would render such a weakening of the gar-
rison a very dangerous experiment. With respect to the
result of the Tampico expedition, we never entertained
two opinions on the subject, and shall be greatly surprised
if the arrival of the Mexican packet, so anxiously ex-
pected, does not fully confirm all our anticipations.

The Literary and Scientific will be glad to hear
of the formation of a Society which bids fair to rival
the most popular of the clubs at the west end of the
town. It is called the " LITERARY UNION,"
and intended to embrace men of letters, and
artists, without distinction of country or party.
Such an Association had become a desideratum, through
the tendency to exclusion which reigns in all the Clubs
previously established.
The idea of the "LITERARY UNION" was a sug-
gestion of THOMAS CA mr sELL, and it gives that dis-
tinguished poet another claim to the gratitude of his
contemporaries. A plan so calculated to bring the learned
and enlightened of all countries into social intercourse,
worthy of the projector--or rather founder—of the lan-
d= University. .

Lisbon Gazettes to the 31st of last month are received
this day. In that Miguelite Paper of the 27th, we have
a sycophantic article on the " auspicious anniversary"
of the KING, being a " subject of the lively rejoicing of
the most faithful Portuguese nation." We shall very
shortly have to present to the public a very different
version of this day's work. In the subjoined account
there is one very laughable paragraph. An immense
number of persons of distinction are represented to have
bad the honour to be admitted to MIGUEL'S presence,
".and whom his MAJESTY received with the affability
which so remarkably characterises his magnanimous
heart !!" We are further told, that the Usurper gave
his blood-stained hand " to kiss to the whole Court."

All the forts and the ships in tie Tagus hoisted their colours,
and fired salutes at day-break, noon, and sunset.

About eleven o'clock his Majesty, with a brilliant suite, pro-
ceeded to the Real Tapada de Aleantara, where he reviewed the
troops assembled there, who, as well as the immense concourse of
spectators, welcomed his Majesty with the loudest acclamations.
His Majesty then went to the Palace of Ajuda, where was a
brilliant assemblage of persons of distinction, and having received
or. the throne the compliments of the Archbishop of Petra, the
Pope's Nuncio, and of Don J. d'Acosta Montealegre, Ambassador
Extraordinary from his Catholic Majesty, the King was pleased to
give his hand to kiss to the whole Curt, and to the immense
number of persons of distinction who had the honour to be admit-
ted to his presence, and whops his Majesty received with the affa-
bility which so remarkably characterises his magnanimous heart.
In the evening, there was a grand assembly at the Palace of
Quelus, where a great number of persons of rank went to pay their
respects to her Majesty, the Empress Queen.
fn the evening, the city was brilliantly illuminated.—Liskot Ga-

(The Gazette to 31st Oct. Inclusive contains no public news.)

By the arrival of the Gerge and William from

Cape of Good Hope, we have papers from the Colony to
the 30th August, which are of some interest. The fol-
lowing notice had been issued from the Colonial Office
on the 25th : •
" Advice, were received this morning from the frontiers, by
which it appears that a general apprehension existed of approach-
ing disturbances on the Caffre frontier, several of the Chiefs hav-
ing manifested hostile intentions towards the colony. Ip to the
date of the dispatches no act of hostility bad taken place. The
troops were on the alert, and the armed burghers bad received in-
structions to hold themselves in readiness to take the held in cue
of actual invasion of the colony."
From what we can glean from these accounts, it would
appear that the location of the Hottentots in the ceded
territory, had given great offence to the Caffres on the
eastern frontier, as it was affirmed, that, unless by mu-
tual consent, this was to be held sacred. The expulsion
of Macomo from the territory, he held, had also excited
great disgust among the tribes. Up to the 29th August,.
nothing decisive was known at the Cape. The following
notice had been issued from the Colonial Office on
the 28th :

" The adder received from the frontiers by this morning's post
contain no farther Intelligence regarding the apprehended hostile
movements among the Cats tribes, nor had any part of the armed
Burgher force been called op to the 21at Inst."

It appears that the Governor, Sir Lows: Cots, was about to
leave town for the frontiers. He proposed to be in Graham's Town
on the 19th Sept. The post from Graham's Tows was an:Lowly
looked for.
It appears further by these Journals, that since the death of
Chaim the Zoolah nation has been divided under two Chiefs, we of
whom, with his adherents, had been driven oat of the country upon
the Amapootas, under Takoo, who, with the assistance of some of
the CaEre tribes, repulsed them and forced them to return north-
ward. The chief Gallia is said to have expressed his uneasiness at
the hostile demonstrations around him, and to be anxious to con-

ciliate the muter.

The agricultural reports from the interior respecting the crops
were encouraging, and copious and salutary rains had fallen.
The badmen had been rather troublesome, having carried away
a large quantity of cattle.

The various reports in the Qty, in the course of the morning, of
the indisposition of his Maarten, tended to depress the Funds.—
Not having to the present time any (Aida report on the subject,
the Bulls and Bears are at variance in regard to the truth; never-
theless, Consols, which had so bright an appearance yesterday after-
noon, have declined from 91/ 92, to 911 1 for the Account; but
within a short period the Market has turned to 911 buyers for the
present account, 911 1 for money, and 921 1 for the January ac-
count. A good quantity of Money Stock bas come to Market.

We have a very barren day for intelligence, there being no ar-
rivals of consequence, and great anxiety is expressed for the safety
of the Mexican packet. The Hamburgb steamer also remains due.

STANZAS,

FROM A VERY INTERESTING VOLUME OF UNPUB-

LISHED POEMS,
BY C. BEDDING, ESQ.

Recumbent on thy early bier,
Thou that so late wert all to me!
I could the sight of sorrow spare,
But it would seem unkind to thee,
As though in death it should appear
I slighted what in life was deal.
Yet thou can't feel it not, to thee
Love and neglect are equal now ;
Nor slight, nor my love's perjury,
Nor falsehood could make dark thy brow;
That silent eye, in pallid sleep,
Love's vigil ne'er again shall keep.

While gazing on thy faded form.
I cannot think thee dead !
Thou art too precious for the worm.
Thou bride of Death's dark bed.
Oh! be bath changed that forehead bright--
Those lips!-1 cannot bear the sibht.

I saw and loved thy beauty, when
I scarce could deem it clay !
And wilt thou never bloom again,
Thou rose of yesterday?
Then the sweet garden's sweetest breath.
To-day exhaling icy death!
Why were we doom'd to part so soon,
My heart's transcendent dream?
Evanish'd ere thy radiant noon
Had warned us with its beam.
Why did I not depart with thee
Into the dark eternity?

Of thee nought but the form is left—
An outline drawn in dust ;
That soon of lineament bereft,
Shall tell how frail our trust
In things most trusty, since with thee
My world of hope has died from me !

EXTRAORDINARY MEMORY.ANTON MAOLIA-
Elicit', librarian to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, was
distinguished by a prodigious memory. A gentleman,
in order to make trial of his retentive faculties, lent him
a manuscript that he was going to print. Some time
after he had returned it, the gentleman came to him in
a state of apparent distraction, pretending that he had
lost it; and requested Magliabecbi to commit to paper
any portion of it which he remembered—whereupon he
wrote the whole work without missing a single word, or
varying the orthography !

a little remarkable for his avidity in the attainment of
lucrative offices. He was, at one and the same time, a
Privy Counsellor, Reversionary Secretary of State,
Major of the 4th Regiment of Horse, Provost of Trinity
College, Dublin, and Searcher, Packer, and Gauger of
the port of Strangford. Lord NORTII once said of him,
that " If,England and Ireland were given to this man, he
would solicit the Isle of Man for a potato garden."

ORIGIN Or GALVANISMAmat is said that a fit of ill-

ness with which the wife of LEWIS GALVANI, an ha-
lian philosopher was attacked, led to the discovery of his
theory respecting metallic irritation and animal electri-
city. The physician having prescribed for her soup made
of boiled frogs, GALVANI, who was an affectionate hus-
band, prepared them himself ; and having accidentally,
with an electrical machine touched the nerves of a frog,
after he had skinned it, he observed in it an involuntary
motion which induced him to make some experiments that
conducted him to the discovery, which has perpetuated his
name.
