From the Glasgow Chronicle.

A very singular reverse of fortune has Just hap
pened to an lrlshman Of the name of Arthur Burns
belonging to the county of Tyrone, who at present
resides IN the High street. He came TO this country
number OF years ago, and has since wrought in the
humble capacity OF builders aborer, and bore the
character Of a sober and industrious man. An I'M
Gle OF his who went to the East Indies in early life
as merchant, accumulated a large fortune, and
while on his death bed at Calcutta made will be.
queathng the whole OF his property in favor Of
his relation. The will was sen. home, properly
sealed by eight or ten different executors, whoss
names are attached to it, Inquiry was made after
Burns in the north OF Ireland, where it was ascer
tanned that he long before had gone to Scotland A
messenger was immediately despatched from Dub
lin to this city, and careful inquiry made among
the various kinds of laboreTs, ill he was at length
traced ou few days ago, aud the good news i'm
parted to him. He was furnished with copy Of
his uncle's will appointing him sole heir to his i'm
mense property, amounting TO 100000 in cash
several valuable estates, FIVE merchant vessels at
besides an inventory Of furniture OF the richest and
most costly description; among other articles
gold table, the length, and breadth and superficial
dimensions of which are stated, bedstead mount
ed with gold, pair of slippers with gold buckles
two carriages finely mounted with silver, and yari
GUS other articles equally splendid One of the
vessels, called the Margaret, is on her passage
home with some OF these valuable effects, and a
large stock of the choicest wines, and several
puncheons OF rum, consigned on behalf of Mr..
Burns to the care OF respectable merchant in
Dublin. Mr.. Burns is about 40 years of age, is
married, but without children. None of the mo-
lney effects have yet arrived the will was des-
patched before the merchant was dead, but accounts
Of his decease and the arrival of the effects are daily
expected. Mr.. Burns in the mean time has never
ceased single day from his employment and is
much less eated on the subject than might be ex-
peced. He regularly carries home in the evening
his usual bundle Of sticks under his arm for fuel
AS is always the case in matters Of this kind, new
friends and acquaintance, whom he never knew
before, have sprung up on every side, who are ca
Iger in their enCeavors to serve him and offers OF
Accommodations with money are unhounded; but
The has declined their services and prefers working
lin his honey garb and abstemous fare, till he be
able to touch his own.--Three thousand pounds
were sent by his uncle to him in Ireland some years
ago, arusted TO the care OF agentleman. who kept
it, and when he failed in London he ranked the La
barer as one oil his creditors. The composition
was rs. but he has not received it, and it would

was in constructing generator Of requisite strength.

Augsburg, July 1.-THE ministers ofFrance
Austria, Russia and Prussia, at Joliannisburgh
continue their conferences, but nothing trans
pires respecting the subject of them. No Eng
lish Plenipotentiary having joined them, this
circumstance gives rise to various conjcctures.
II is however affirmed, that Sir III. Wellesley,
British Minister at Vienna, was invited, like the
other Foreign Ministers, by Prince Metternch,
to visit Johannisburgh, but that he declined.
The only result OF the conferences yet known
is that the Wurtemburg Minister for Foreign
.fd;irs has succeeded in his mission, to obtain
the establishment of the diplomatic relations be-
tween the cabinets of Vienna and Berlin, and
the Court of w nuremberg.
ut the departure ofthe Courier, (I It'll June, J
Constantinople did not enjoy state of perfect
tranquility. The people manifest great Siiss:t-
'stoctioD with the Captain Pacla, whom they
accuse of incapacity. The sowness of his ope-
rations eNcites violent murmurs. The Porte
mas taken good care, considering tide irritation
ut the peoples minds, not to publish any thing
OF the partial landings made by the .4dnr al, i'm
which his troops have been considerable beaten.
SpAIN.-NIuch is said in Madrid of great
Council which, has been held under the Presi-
dcncy of Ferdinand, and at which all the .4m
bassadors were present, except those of Eng
land and the United States of america. Ii is
said that in this council the affairs of Portugal
were discussed, and particularly the convocati-
on OF the Cortes of that kingdom, but 1t is also
said, that the only object of the council was to
inform the ambassadors of the actual situation
OF the old Colonies in South America.

Maria Louisa, the widow Of Bonaparte. Soflr
as can be Judged from external appearances,
she is not very deeply affected ut the loss of her
husband; and even bears the privation OF an
Imperial diadem philosophcaliy enough. Her
venerable relative, King Ferdinand, is making
every effort to amuse her. and she entcres We,
~ readily into all the schemes proposed with
that view. l saw his Majesty the other even
ing driving her in his barouche ON the Corso.
This is the more remarkable, both because he
never paid his Queen that honor and also be-
cause it IS rule which he has long observed
not to appear on the Corso, at all. On the 1Ist.
the august traveller went to the Royal seat Of
Pcrsano, whence she visited the striking ruin,
of Postum. On the Goth, she went i'm pcrson
through the Albergo di Povcri, and noticed all
the arrangements Of that institution. The day
following she partook of the amusc,ncnts of The
annual festival held at the Royal VrIa of Cardi-
10. Among the cool and tranquil shades of an
extensive wood, were assembled from 90 To o5.-
600 peasants i'll their holiday clothes, disporting
and amusing themselves as mirthfully and rnuch
more peaceaby than you ever saw i'm Britain
They had arrived from various parts of the sur-
rounding country, and were dressed in the cos
tunes of their respective districts, which afford
cd great variety of forms, many of them ex-
trcnely picturesque. On such occasions we
see the bright side of absolute monarchy; as in
London Bullock hunt, a Munster fairrow we
behold the barbaro,is features of liberty
The King and his Suite arrived at o o'clock

MED the Archduchess of Parma (who had reach

sons) i'm ride round the woods. Loud and re-
iteratcd acclarnations rose on all sides.

6 If there be a lesson of political wisdom,
which the people of this union have had cause
to learn from their own experience, as well as
from the uniform tenor of human history, it is
that OF carrylnga temper of mutual forbearance
through all their divisions; of making the party
feeling which never can include more than
portion of the republic subordinate To the civic
spirit which embraces the whole. In the col
i'sions ofPoliticai systems it is the duty of the
citizen to take his stand upon deliberate conyic
tion' and to pursue his principles, regardless of
consequences to himself. But when the con-
f'ct is past, and the contest fpr'nc;pte is at an
end, both parties, and above all, the prevailing
party, should remember, and practice upon tho
maxim Of the Roman republic, that i'm civil dis
sentons, success was but lesser evil than de
feat, and that no hononrs OF triumph could ever
be awarded TO victory"
