—lt is geiserally understood that his Majesty will embark
at Portsmouth ta-morrow or Monday, (this day,) and
thatolge will proceed direct to Calais ; some papers say
be 'will travel incog. as Count Luneburg or the Earl of
Dublin; in our opinion be would act more appropri-

Tan BATTLI OP CALABoZO.—Of this important
battle and its results we gave the particulars in our
Paper of the t2d ult. A copy of • paper of Angos-
tura has lately come to hand, containing Bolivar's dis-
patch on the victory. In that dispatch he says the
British battalion, commanded by the meritorious Col.
Ferrier, distinguished itself amongst so many others
brave men, and suffered a heavy loss of officers. The
conduct of General Pees in this affair, he adds,;
readers him deserving of the highest military rank ;
and I therefore, in the name of the Congress, be offered
on the field of battle to appOot him General-in-Chief
of the army.

Tax Haaverr.—Almost all apprebenifiens regard.,
lag the harvest have subsided. It will be a fair
average crop, though, perhaps, not as great as the
last; and the grain, taken altogether, may be found
inferior. But the ports will not be thrown open, and
the speculators have failed. Why do they not spe-
culate in British Corn ? If they did, they would have
a fair profit for the money they might sink. We sup-
pose this will be the ease in fature.---(Dr6lia Brew-
ing Post, Sept. 22 )
The" Wolverhampton Paper" states, as an instance
of the liberality of the times, the subscriptions of the
Dissenters to the new Churches. This however is nut
the case at Wolverhampton, where the Clergy, and
the High Tories have sought to exercise a tyrannical
domination in coercing the expression of Public senti-
ment. Here the Christian charities wither before the
efforts of political despotism. The authority of the
paragraph may be traced we believe to the liberality
of a few Dissenters at Kidderminster, who have sub-
scribed munificently towards the erection of the New
Church, which will be a large and handsome structure,
that it being built at the entrance of that town, from
the Ilagley-road.—(Biropieghoes Merenry.)
The sum of 4,0001. has lately been paid to the erew
of the Swan Revenue cutter as prise-money, for the
spirits found only in the Midas smuggler, captured by
leer in February last.
A reduction is to take place Immediately in the
number of vends employed for the suppression of
smuggling; several are to be paid off. The Resole-
don Excise Cutter, from the Portsmouth station, is or-
dered to proceed to Plymouth for that purpose. The
Greyhound Revenue cruiser is to be removed to the
Plymouth station.

'TICS IN GENERAL.

Mho French papers be eititkd to.credit, or a press
under the shackles of a Censor dare speak oot, we
may suppose there is peace is Turkey, war in Spain,
loyalty in France, and insanity in England. in Turkey
they conclude Russia is all meekness and modesty, and
by the Grand Signor's Manifesto, we are taught to
`believe (that is, as far as Royal promises go), that the
Greeks and Christians will in future meet his most I
gracious protection, bat as our credence is built upon
experience. it don't extend further than to_Royal pro-
mises Dearer home. At present it would be ridiculous
for Emperors of Turks or Christians to keep their
words further than it became beneficial to their inter-
esti ; and should peace or war between the Turks and
Russians take place, their objects will be to forward
the Royal interests without a thought of the sacrifice
of honour Jr human blood ; and public devastation may
be inflicted un the unfortunate victims of rancorous
ambition. A religious war, under the influence
rtotbe worst passions, becomes doubly distressing
the cause of humanity. But under existing cir-
cumstances the Turk has little to hope, for,•as it ap-
pears. he is to give up the European provinces, where
flimplauss are io be bolsteeed up for the younger
branches of the adjacent despots; still Russia
will not be satisfied, her overweening ambition,
the fanatical prejudices of an ignorant and in-
fatuated population against those whom they con-
sider their natural enemies, and who are possessed
of even worse principles, cannot remain long un-
der any settled form. Had not the unlimited ambi.
lion of the Northern Star, and the imbecility and
wretched politics of his brother Emperor. led us to
presume the worst consequences from their sanguinary
combination against these monsters in human shape,
we should not regret, and would rejoice in seeing them
well chastised, provided it had the effect of rendering
them less brutal; but it is not to be expected huma-
nity can be taught by those who never understood it;
we, therefore, look for little improvement when the at-
tempt is made by two props of the unholy alliance.
We next turn to Spain, where French spies have
appeared seder the specious colour of effecting an-
other revolution in France, that is, what it vulgarly
termed " laying it on too thick." That Frenchmen
might wish to assist the Spaniards in shaking off their
beloved Petty-coot maker, is not much to be wondered
at. and from his weak head and worse heart we look for
the thing as a matter within the bounds of human
probability, as it appears the Clergy still bold their
inductee by their endeavours to keep the Ultras
about his person. The people watch him aarrovr
IA and appear indignant at any want of respect to
Riego who contributed so manfully to shake off
the Spanish chains; and so mach afraid are the Ultras.

as all Kings should be kept, within the boundaries of
the law. On the other hand, France, with a shakiest
Press, is all loyalty, all duty to the Bourbons, that is.
if their Newspapers are worthy of credit; but like the
echo of the gang, we believe as much of them as we
like. That the French people wish to shake off their
task-masters, is natural, but this is not likely to be et-
-hosted before the death of old Gout, who still keeps the
Ultras about him, and renders himself an object of
suspicion, and like the general mass of royalty, he
acts as if he were as ignorant of his interests as his
neighbours. In England, the King scarcely sheers
himself to the people, and is gone to make his Gerisesta,
as be has done his Irish subject', happy by his pre
mitee. It is also meowed, he may be inclined to en-
