FROM THE SEINE, DEC. 13.—The Council of State
is now occupied with highly important discussions,
respecting a new regulation of the system of public
instruction in all France.
FRIEBURO, Dec. 13.—The new Concordat _be,
tweeu Bavaria and the Pope excites much 'attention
in Germany, because people think they see in it the
usual and favourite tendency of the R.,man Court to
old measures; because principles and views appear
in it which may be unwelcome, not ie Bavaria (for
this we may trust the wisdom of the !fustian Go-
vernment), but in many other German States, par.
titularly those "there the subjects are of different re-
ligions. People compare this Concordat with that
before granted to Austria, and fearing they see in
this new one concessions of Papal pretensions which
were formerly considered at infringing the liberties
of the German Churches, and the rights of the Sove-
reigns. Divide and Conquer, the !noun of ancient
Roman policy, seems to be now practised by modem►

to know the cause of the complaint. The Prosecii.
iris repeated the scandal, and demanded 'to know if
he was the author of it, or if he had had it from
others. His reply was a violent push backwards,
and several severe blows. She remonstrated with
bins upon such conduct, and again insisted upon
knowing by what authority the slander waspropagated.
She was again answered by the Defendant with blows
so violent that she was greatly injured, and finally
pushed out of the house.
•• A witness was called to support the case, but the
testimony failed. Two medical persons were also
sailed but they detailed no injury as having befallen

altogether. The Prosecutriz, he said, had unfor-
tunately become acquainted with his daughter, and
he soon discavered that she was leading her into acts
of impropriety. She had kept her from home until
the most unseasonable hours at night ; and on two
or three occasions had brought her from ci,tree.shops
at one and two o'clock in the morning. To snatch
daughter from such a companion was the duty of
every father, and he had merely pushed her from his
shop, but never struck her.
Witnesses confirmed this statement; and an Officer
in particular, stated that he saw the Prosecupis im.

never complained of blows.--The Defendant was ac-

MONTHLY AGRIG'ULTURAL REPORT
FOR FEBRUARY.

The weather weather in the early part of the month has proved very
favourable for Pea and Henn drilling in Kew and Lure. which
in throe parts is nearly co•npleted. from the kindly skulking 4
the lands. On tender *oils, a considenole breadth of Oats and
Harley have already been sown. The Torn ard plants of Whe:O.
which had become luxuriant from the open weather, have re-
ceived a .beneficial check by the lair frost.; their seneral ap-
pearance through the cora districts continues promising. Closer
seed rises in most districts so indiferently. that an average crop
is not looked tor. The Turnip countries complain of their fee.l
emitting away. The backward plants of Rape, fur sees:. have
suffered considerably by the few •ltarp nihts (rest. Whine
Tares are neither a full nor an early plant from the draught or
the season in which they were sown. Crass seed growieg slsoro,
the price of flay is on the advance. The Flock masters in dm
Awes Bern comities complain snuck etf their extensive lax both of
Ewes and Lambs. Lean stock of all kinds is further advanced in
price. particularly for beasts • hut few droves of Scots are at
present come up on Epping beasts;
; the meat markets are also
higher for prime beef, mutton. lamb, aged seal. Pig purl k
likewise dearer from its scarcity. The price Of store Inv has
advaured inure than 10 per cent. since the last Report, and gdoit
drought cattle are worth snore money. The Wool Marla Lk
brisk, though not dearer, bush for long and short fleeces.

Baltimore and Philadelphia Papers to the 4th ult.
have reached us. The Aurora states, " that Lord
CocuRANE is appointed by the Independent States of
South America, Commander of their squadron in the
Pacific Ocean ; that he has written letters accepting
the appointment, and is expected shortly to assume
the command." The American Government, it is
said, intends to blockade the ports of St. Domingo,
in the occupation of CuutcToruE and PETtox. if the
proposals transmitted by the Hornet •loop of war
should be rejected. Tile chief ground of complaint
against the former is the illegal detention of property
belonging to American merchants at Cape Henry,
because rs. merchant at Baltimore had detained some
property of CuatsTorn Os ; and against the latter
Chief, the shooting of an American sailor, who, in
the defence of the Mate of the vessel he belonged to,
struck a negro, who, in consequence of the blow,
MI over the ship's side, into • bait; and died from
the effects of the fall. The sailor was taken, tried,
condemned, arid shot, in the apace ,of four-and-
twenty hours. The Vice• President of the United
States had resigned the Chair of the Senate ) and an

SEIZURE FOR TA/U.S.

Mr. METHUEN seeing the Chancellor of the Exchequer is
his place. wished to ask him a question respecting the relief
proposed to the Tax on Pour-wheeled Cnrriages. He held is
his hand a letter received from a most respectable constituent.
which stated, that *, the Tax Collector of Chippenharn had
given an order to seize the persons or the parties refusing to pay
the demand made of surcharges." The question he wished to
put was, *• whether the relief proposed „as ist be retrospective,
and to take effectirowsApril 5. 18(7. to April 5, ISIS ?'
The Chancellor of the Exchequer was wholly inaudible in the
Gallery.
Mr. METHUEN then said, the qtystion was so important
to theindividnals so surcharged, that he trusted the Right Ho-
nourable Gentleman woold feel the Leccssity of giving a direct
answer.
The CHANCELLOR of the I lECIINUER said a few
words which could not be heard in the Callerv, hut we under-
stand the purport was, that be believed the relief would be re-
trospective.
Mr. (SIP:TIMES a third time endeavoured to get a sore
decisive answer, hut none was given.

EDUCATION.

Mr. BROUGHAM said, that sr measure of his ow
the subject of Education was to tome on tn.morrow,
and hoped it was, on the understanding that it
would come on then. The Honourable and Learned
Gentleman also made some observations on the Com-
missioners appointed under his Bill, which wecould,
not distinctly hear. ,
Lord CASTLEREAGH (we endorstnod) had n•
objection to the arrangement of the Hon. and Loomed,
Gentleman.
Mr. BROUGHAM expressed himself obliged to
the Noble Lord for hiscandour. It was undoubted-
ly part of his measure, that at least some of the Com.
missioners should be ;mid as servants of the Public,,
for it would not be possible to obtain pofessional
men to accept of the office without a fair remunera-
tion. He had left, as in former Commissions of *
similar nature, the naming of the Commissioners,
and the reward to be given them, to the Crown.
Lord CASTLEREAGH argued, that without a
fair remuneration it would not be possible to obtain
the assistance of professional men ; but he thought it
would,be most advisable to leave the remuneration to
Parliament, who would regulate it from time to time,
on witnessing the progress made by the Commis.
sioners.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, that he had thought it
might be advisable to fit a limit to the remuneration,
and it was his intention to propose 1,0001., as he un-

We yesterday gave the account which has been
breeght from St. Helena of the sdangeroos state to
which the illustrious Prisoner •pon that rock has
been reduced by the cruel treatment which he has so
long experienced. The poise of British feeling will
not remain insensible to the distressing condition of
the great Ndirocaotr, under the illiberal and inhere-
pitabie treatment he is esperiencing, not from "the
most generous though the most constant of Ho ens.
toles," but from the churlish and unfeeling jailers that
have been placed over him. The retifil of Mi.

even in this depth of calamity, is greater than the
mightiest of his enemies and a terror to them all,
has, we understand arisen qut of the circuit- ,

utility of keeping a fallen and harmless individual in
a state of misery which threateos the destruction of
life, and of subjecting the British Nation to the enor-
mous espence attendant upon his remote confinement ?

JAMAICA rAPsns..

• [FROM THE IT. JAGO GAZETTE, DEC. 13.]
The House of Assembly have received a Report
from one of their Committees, of which the follow-
ing is an cam, :
44 The slaves are satisfied that their condition is of
sefficient interest to engage the attention of those
ender whose authority they ere placed, and that their
comforts and personal security are the objects of pro-
tection: in availing themselves of the facility which
lies been afforded them in making their complaints of
arty realer supposed grievance,they have observed the
'Mention with. which it has been investigated, and
1
the justice with which it has been decided. The 'n-
mese which has taken place during the last 12
months in the number of proceedings both civil nd
criminal, which bet heeriinstituted by or ea behalf
of slaves, is a flit which, accompanied as it has bpeo
sly the greatest degree of subordination and ghod
order on their part, may be referred to as to the most
• decisive proof of their well-founded confidence in the
justice of those to whom they appeal : this feeling,
whilst it operates directly on their present condition,
by lessening the possibility of their being exposed to
injury, without receiving redress, and by rendering
them contented with their situation, is calculated to
impart to them those principles which will enable
them to estimate the benefits, to acquire the habits,
and to practise the duties which belong to a more
civilised state of society.
" Your Committee attar great importance to this
consideration, because it encourages the belief that a
foundation is laid for future measures of progressive
Improvement : but they are of op:orion, that the im-
provement of their religious, moral, and civil state
can only be effected by gradual and progressive mea-
sores,and that any esperiments that have a tendency
to produce a sadden change in their present state, by
the introduition of principles Whicleare unknown to,
and inconsistent .with, the policy of Colonial Usti-
lotions, and the habits of the slaves themselves,

LONDON:

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5) 1818.

We rejoice to perceive that the oppression of the
Poor's Rates, and the distressed situation of the pow
potation of this country in general, have become
subjects of enquiry and attention to societies of be-
nevolent slid enlightened men. The redaction of
the Poor's Rates, the encouragement of industry,
.and, above all, the proving, exposing, and removing
of the causes of national poverty and distress, are
momentous topics of public policy, which it is for
the interest of all classes to promote. A Society
has been established with the express view of obtain-
ing information by the collection of facts, and of
suggesting. mews of decreasing the number of
peopritr. And one of the mesas proposed for
facilitating this praiseworthy object, is to encourage
and excite indlistry among the destitute and bur-
densome part of the population. it might be as
well, perhaps, to begin et the root of the evil, that
misgovernir►g power which deprives • the People of
the means of exercising their industry, of capital,
