There is but little business doing io the Stock Es.
change this morning. The Funds keep steady; the
present price is 7811.

The maniac is struck dumb, the old jacobin nvet,
and the Hang are calling out for help, in vain. Last

4,1491. 4s. should be collected in a few days, Alma
the poor man's mite, he thinks, is a clear proof tin
thing has been done by that party who always oppose
the worthy, harmless, grateful and sapient gentle:ma,
that so far misled their Royal master as to advise the
dismissal of an officer that has obtained honours from
most of the European Monarchs, and the approbation
of not only the army which he so often led to victory,

but the British people, who now come forward, Dw

such mysterious bars, that the people are still to safer

unconnected with the charms of personal interest, that
west nut at once see the pressing necessity of a
reform in the present House of Commons. They see 'tis
impossible to serge Goo and Mammon; that the inter

Messrs which arched yesterday, from Odessa, of
efue 18th ult. by the way of Hamburgb, confirm the state-
Snit that had bees given respecting the restoration of
'tie freedom of that port. The son of the Governor
badarrived on the 12th, express from Petenbargborith
do official order, commanding that all things should
)0 replaced en then,' ancient footing, a determination
which bad diffused unbounded satisfaction throughout
'sheeny. Anticipation of peace continued to be ester-
tamped, though the advantages lately gained by the
Greeks is the Mores were not concealed. In one of the
{guesses which they bad taken by capitulation. they
were said to bate found 120 pieces of canton, 10,000
isealrets, and a large quantity of ammunition, which
Aoteld sot fail to prove highly serviceable to the canoe
of independence and christianity. The advice' from
fit. Petersburg are to the 29th ultimo. They announce
what was expected, the departure of the Emperor
Alexander for Witepsk. where he intended to review
his guards. It was expected, however. that he would
retire at the end of a fortnight to his capital. Mean-
while immense quantities of ammunition were sent into
the Ukraine, which led to a supposition that the army
es the Prath would be powerfully reinforced, and that
war would ultimately break out.
Paris papers to the 15th, which arrived yesterday,
too late to be noticed in some part of our impression,
tad bat briefly in any, contained some intelligence of
more importance than usual. An article from Aug.-
berg states, that Russia insists on occupying certain
places in Turkey with a military force competent to
,ardotain the religions and political state of the Oceeks
jetsielate, and to prevent a repetition of the barbarous
~nstrages which have lately disgraced that cos ntry
As inch an occupation would leave the political ex-
istence of Turkey entirely at the mercy of Russia, and
could therefore neither be agreed to by the Porte, nor
permitted by other powers, and yet as it appears ne-
misery to the security and existence of the Greeks, it
Inhere proposed to diminish,if not to remove altoge the r,
de objections to the measure, by specifying and limit-
kg tie number of places, and having the garrisons coin-
pied of Russian, Anstri3n, and English soldiers.--.-The
disturbance we noticed as having occurred at Lyons,
arose out of the toasts that were given at a public
dinner in that city. The Censors have taken care to
render the account of the affair as obscure as possible,
-bet enough appears to shew that the people there are
still decidedly unfriendly to the reigning family. The
dinner was given to M. Coreelles, on his return as
.Deputy for that city. Toasts were given, it is said,
"to Liberty, to the Constitution, and to what the Cen-
sors have been pleased to intimate only by 10°16."
The company are then stated to have adjourned, in a
. body, to tie French hills, where there was a display of
ire works, serenades, and other are.nsemedis, in honour
of that Deputy ; but unfortunately the company did
not confine themselves to cries of " Line Coreelles"—
there were others intermixed, which cannot be re-
peated, and which stript the assembly of the cha-
racter of a festive meeting. To put an end to the con-
Anion and tomultnonsprocetdings, two Proclamations,
tie one by the Prefect of the town, and the other by
'the Mayor of the city, were hissed, and bad the de-
sired effect without the effusion of blood. The ac-
xwasts by the French journals, and by letters and
•papers which have arrived direct from Spain, repre-
lest the state of Barcelona to be horrible beyond de-
scription. That ill-fated town is a prey to the most
appalling scourges of contagion and famine. The
'children, *hose mothers lave fallen victims to the
•.deadly contagion, are suckled by goats. It was con-
templated to evacuate the town. sad encamp in the vi-
'4oll; but this lad resource was found impracticable.
,Despair and stupefaction, increase the evil. The fever,
Instead of decreasing. was extending its ravages to
new places. Cordons had been formed round Tot-
;lose and Mequinensa, -and other means adopted to
,prevent the further extension of the malady. The
.Bishop of Tortoni has fallen a devoted victim to his
-hamaalty. He inhaled the baleful pestilence, and died
.on the third day after the symptoms of attack.—The
.only political news from Spain, is a report that an en-
tireJegiment has conspired against the Constitution.

EXTRACT OF A LZTTER FROM PRILADRLPRIA, SEPT. 16.
We are informed from good authority that the Secre-
tary-of the Navy, on bearing of the late piratical out-
rages, and particulaily that committed on the Orleans,
has with all prompitude, given directions to Lieut.
Gregory, of the United States schooner, Grampus, hy-
ing at New York, to proceed immediately on a
cruise, along the coast of Florida, and the Bahama
islands, in such direction as may be most likely fis in-
tercept the Pirates. Similar orders have been given
to the public armed vessels, on the southern east;
and it is also understood, that the Navy Depart-
ment will order a convoy for the vessels, about
sailing for Cuba and New Orleans.

Among the many reports that spring up in the city,
there is one that would, if correct, astonish all Europe,
but none so much as those best acquainted with the
parties from whom it is said to emanate. It is no less
than that His Majesty's Ministers are about to re-
move the remains of Me late Emperor from St. Helena
to England. for the purpose of erecting a splendid
monument over them, as one of the trophies on
the happy termination of the late just and necessary
War. Miracles, it appears, have not ceased, or that
attention to the dead would not take place, which has
been so wantonly refused to the living.
A Lisbon article in t he French papers asserts, that tbe
Charge d'Affaires in Portugal (Mr. Ward) has left the
country without his passports. He is represented to
have taken umbrage at the avowed determination of
the Cortes to reform the tariff of the Portuguese cue-
toms, in p trsuance of the 25th article of the treaty with
England of 1810.
It is mentioned in the Paris papers of Monday that
the King of France is slightly indisposed ; the nature
of his indisposition is not stated.
It is said that the Emperor Alexander has promised
to General Hulot, the brother of Marshal Moreau's
widow, that the pension of 60,000 rubles, which she
was to enjoy during her life, is to be continued to her
daughter.
A German paper says, that 90,000 Greeks perished at
Constantinople during the late disturbances. it is morel
than probable that this statement is highly exaggerateill
The heads lately exposed on the gates of the Serainki
were those often Pacha, the son of AU of Janani, and
of his son Mehemet Pacha. Their death has been pro-
voked by the intrigues of Ismael Pacha, and of Bekir
Theiokador. They have insinuated to the Divan, that
%refitted his son bad deposited a sum of 5,000,00 W. at
Santa Maura, of which they declared the English Gene-
ral, Sir F. Adam, to be heir in cue of their death. A
negotiation to remove the money had been entered into
with the Turkish Chiefs whom we have named. They
contended that a Pacha being a slave employed by his
Highness the Sultan, was not likely to make a will, ex-
cept in favour of the mosques, and in consequence they
demanded the deposit. The reply was, that Veli and
others could not be divested of the property. A second
demand was made, a reply was given, and the Divan,
in order to cut the knot of the difficulty, ordered the
beads of the two persons to be cut off who had been em-
ployed to refuse the treasure.—(Freaeh paper.)
The Chevalier Masclet, who has filled the situation
of French Consul at this port, several years, with great
credit to himself and his country, has just been ap-
pointed to an important and confidential diplomatic
mission to Bucharest, the capital of Wallachia. He
is expected to depart as soon as his successor is ap-
pointed.—(Lercrpool Paper.)
The Cardinal Perigord, Archbishop of Paris, is ac-
cording to the French papers in a state which excites
the most alarming disquietude.
Beaux, Oct.. 3.—lt is now decided that the King
of England will make a visit to our Sovereign. Al-
ready preparations have re-commenced in the Palace. of
Posbam, in which his Britannic Majesty will (it is est
petted) reside six days. The apartments in the
Royal Castle of William 1., in this capital, are also
being fitted up for that Monirch's accommodation.
The stone on which the King first placed his foot at
Milford, and which was deposited in the Masonic lodge
in that Town, has been claimed by the Lord of the'
Manor, and reluctantly surrendered to him.
Count Manle, the new Charge d'Affaires, appointed
by the French Government to succeed Count Caramani
is daily expected to arrive at the residence of the French
Embassy, in Portland-place.
Count and Countess Montbolon and family have left'
their residence in Portman•street, for Paris. Tbe Cunt
and Countess Bertrand and family also left town for
Paris on Thursday morning.
It has been stated by mistake, that Sir Robert Wil-
son is going to Paris; when he leaves town he goooto
the North of England.
Mr. Wm. Austin, her late Majesty's protege, is at
present on a visit to Lord and Lady Hood, atWhittey
Abbey, near Coventry.
Mr. Hieronymus and Madle. Brunet are the only
persons remaining of the late Queen's domestics ; they
are at present in South Andlerstreet.
William Henry dressed, Bsq. has been appointed.,
and on Saturday was sworn in, Deputy Recorder of
Witterford, instead of Thomas Cooke, Esq. rostra

lieu& roads almost inip,Weithle, in a conditins so
dsplewnble sit to exercise his Majesty's patience at
every step. This, among an; hundred other things,
will convince hits of the fully, as well as wickedness,
of despotism. .1f the personage Who governs the
Prussians by the sword and the bayonet, and spends
theiriritasures in maintaining 150,00 idle soldiers, of
no see to the State, yet draining it of, its wealth and
wasting it i n the wantonness of idleness, were to form just
notions of the advantage of good government, and the
mischief of bad, be might be tempted to mend his ways,
weevily, politically. and physically. The Prussians
themselves deserve no compassion if they were obliged
to travel from town to town through a slough, worse
than.the Slough of Despond; if they were compelled
to live is huts, worse than the wagwaws of savages;
if they were plundered to the utmost extent, of the
friths of their labours, to enrich the worthlesswretches
eirbo support the despotism that devours their vitals,
Obey richly deserve their fate. To yield obediebee to
caprice, to be governed. by the will of one man, is so
degrading to human nature, that those who submit to
ascii misrule ought to be considered as beyond the
lbeeods of pity, and lost to the feelings of man. Our
giwg seems to have been received with apparent seal,
as his journey, by the assembled crowds; but this,
pimps may be justly attributed to his politeness and
their civility.
His Majesty's visit to Ireland may prove bent&
eial, because be is convinced that the Irish are loyal,
even to the heart's core; and, if he conclude that
the rebellious insurrections and riots were the
effects of the villainy of the petty tyrants who, in the
name of the Constitution, have plundered the People,
and under the mask of loyalty, have turned the arms
of the Sovereign against his subjects, his travels will
be productive of much good. Should his Majesty
reason on the subject, it may induce him to crush the
serpents which have poisoned the happiness of a na-
tion committed to his care; it may teach him to
doubt the loyalty of the courtier, and the zeal of the
bigot; and if this suspicion he generated, the jour-
ney has effected more towards the union of King and
People, than all the Corporation of Dublin, and its
ramifications, have done for a century to prevent this
coasumulation so devoutly to be wished. This sojourn-
ing with his German subjects may produce a similar
effect, if his Majesty compare Britons with Hano-
verian* s if he set the wrath, industry, independence,
and dignity of freedom, in opposition to the poverty,
sloth, and meanness, of men nut free, he may be im-
pelled to raise the latter from the kennel into which
German notions and German oppression have plunged
them, and place them in their rank in the scale of nature.
Every human being, who is not free, ought to be des-
pised as inferior to the Ouran-Outang of the forest—
as more degraded in his nature, and therefore beneath
the uncivilised brute. Should his Majesty discover the
feeling of hatred with which the political principles of
his ministers are every where greeted, except by the
minions bf power, it may teach Lim that the applause of
the venal few is of much less importance than the esteem
of nations. In his travels his Majesty may learn the I
folly, as well as the wickedness, of those who, unfor-
iiseately'leteravekindi have governed the affairs of
Europe for the last thirty years; be may read a lesson
which may incline him to disregard the false notions
and hideous principles of Tories and Ultra-Royalists,
who have sacrificed the wealth and the happiness of
empires, covered their fields with human blood, deso-
lated their cities, and employed myriads of mortals in
the pleasing occupation of destruction, to revive and
give vigour to unjust pretensions, at war with justice
and the welfare of society. If his Majesty return thus
instructed, and his actions run in unison with his opi-
nions, he will not be rewarded by the love and esteem
of the passing day alone, but posterity will embalm his
memory as a benefactor of the human race. Such con-
siderations may reconcile the most scrupulous to the
advantage of such Royal excursions; but if our King
shonld draw conclusions from the notions of the base
and slavish inmates of foreign courts, his travels will
be in effect disastrous, and his labour spent in vain.

arrnAcT OP • LETTER, DATED MARKET-HILL,
ARMAOII,) OCT. 10.
On Monday last, one of the Orange Lodes of this
district, assembled at the Verner Arms, in this town, to
celebrate the anniversary of the birth of James Verner,
llsq., and to admit some new members. About 5 o'cloCk.
thirty-five persons sat down to dinner, and in about tire
minutes after, a most dreadful crush was heard in the
lower pert of the house to proceed from the upper rooms.
The landlord ran up stairs, but his progress was im-
peded by an immense quantity of rubbish, dust, slates,
and laths rushing down. Assistance was immediately
procured, when it was discovered that the root of the
house had fallen in, and came with sick irresistible
force on the floor over the dining room, that the ceil-
4ciof the latter gave way, and overwhelmed the unfor.
innate people at dinner with its ruins. Eight people
Aare been taken out dead ; sixteen have been dreadfully
.mutilated; several of them have their limbs broken, and
only few of them areexpected to recover. The remainder
be.* been all money less bruised and cut.
The following disgraceful fact occurred a few nights
again the county of Kildare :—A tenant of Col. Bruen,
from whom be had received no rent for two years (tole-
rable indulgence) and from whom his agent could not
get eny rent, was distrained, and a keeper left to watch
the property 1 on the succeeding night a party of men
game to the premises, and having tied the bailiff and
the farmer, bark to back. swept away the entire pro-
-1 party which was under seizure, on cars which they bad
featly for the purpose ! Of this part of the outrage the
fanner pretended total iguorance.—(Cadow.liorn.Post.)
. • PIDESTRIRK Fotr..—On Thursday last, 'Tomas'
Peters, a broken-down soldier, having no employ, un-
dertook to run sixteen miles in two hours, with no
other hope of reward than what the observers chose to
contribute. The distance was marked out upon the
Tewkesbury-road, one quarter of a mile in. lie started
precisely at fear o'clock, and performed the first nine
miles in 59 minutes, the last seven be completed in 48
minutes, thin running the sixteen miles in thirteen
