TO THE EDITOR OF THEl TIAIES. Slr,-As there seems to be some difficulty felt by the Committee, respecting the proportions in which they ought to pay over the sub- scription-money to the unfortunate gentlemen for whom it is intend- ed, I would,beg leave to suggest, for their consideration, that the periodical allowance to each offlcer be in exact proportion to his pay when obliged to leave his own country; and I should consider it a source of proud reflection to Englishmen, if the subscriptions conti- nued till they amounted to such a sum as would enable the Com- mittee, to pay these officers the FULL amount of their pay respec- tively, until cireumstances would afford them the opportunity of re- turning to their native land. One other suggestion I would take the liberty of making, and that is, that the Committxe, instead of denominating this allowance, charity, bounty, relief; &c., would cimply call it " pav," and the individuals who paid it over " pay- masters." This w;uhl render the acceptance of it less humiliating to the proud feelings of gentlemen and men of honour, and would render generosity doubly beautiful, by clothing it in the robc of de. licacy.-I have the honotur to be, Sir, your obedient humble servant. Tio tntl Afl,fl .l, .1n11 . A AIAN. tbat- we do notibink so Uii of the understandings and real delicacy of the persons for whom the subscription is raised, as to imaginc that with them a name is evarv thing, whiRe the nature of the thing is the same: They must be poor childish creatures if such motives as our correspondeht alludes to do really actuate them. 'At the same time, we have no doubt that all the delicacy dueto gentlemeni who are also men of sense, will be observed towards these unfortunate foreigners. SPA NISH AND ITAF.JA( REP UEBES.

Txhe Emperor Alexander of Russia seems as fsnd of be- in$ considered a patrom of taste as a dlictator in politics. HIs literary pedantry is about a match for his Political am- bitnon;and both have receivedl a twist frombhis bias.in fa- vour of legitimacy, and his vanity as founder of the Holy Alliance. tencc his distribution of diamond ritngs, valu- able snuff-boxes, and knightly orders, among a class of Royalist writers-hence his partial regard to the Suliaia, though an Infidel, because a legitimate despov; aiid his op- position to Clhristian Greeks, because fighting for political liberty. Among the list of authors whom he has lately honoured. with the light of bis countenance, is M. La Mar- tine, a young French poet, of great merit, belonging to the Ultra p-arty, but worthy of a better party, and a better pa. tron ; and the following letter will show his zeal to gain li- terarv acknowledgrents:- "ST.

The Ausdrian Observer of the 26th tul. gives various particulars under the head of Turkey; but the intelligence of that paper often seems, in spirit anid character, so very Turkish, that little or no reliance o0ght to be placed upon it. especially what relates to the progress of hostilities be- tween.the Greeks and the Porte. It is said that the present GRAND Vrzmrihashitupon au expedientfor improving the constitution of the Turkish armies, which, if steadily acte& on, appears likely to be successful. The plan bas for its basis, a commutation of the old quota of troops supplied by the several provinces of the empire, for a corresponding amount in money-leaving the levy, the pay, and colase. quent discipline of the soldiers to the Goveroment itself. The influernce exercised by Lord ST31ANGFORD at the Porte is- much expatiated on in these papers.

This day the UHIXEF BARON sat to try a few common jury causes. SMITH V. HOOIERL Mr. JONES said that this was originally an action of trover to re. cover a box containing clothes which the defendanthad retained in his possesslon. The defendant, howevet, had rctu-ned the box, but refused to pay the plaintiff's costs. The plaintifP now came into Court to recover nominal damages in oyder to carry costs. The facts of the case were shortly these :-The plaintiff, who was a Lieute- nant in the 14th Light Dragoons, was billetted at a public-house called the Wheataheaf, at Frome, in Soinersetshire. The defendant, who was a tradesmaR in the town, was accustomed to visit the Wheatsheaf, and seeing the plaintif there, he asked him to come and lodge at his house. The plaintiff' tool, lodgings in the defendant's house, and after he had been there two daysi the defend. ant told him that he did not like a woman, with whom the plaintiff lived as his wife, to remain in his house, and that she should not enter it again. The plaintiff said, that the woman should not come back, but that he would continue in the lodgings during the period for which lie had hired them-namely, a month. The defendant, however, said he would have nothing to do with either the woman or the plaintiff, and desired him to quit his house. The plaintiff lcft the house, and sent his servant for his things, and with a week's rent. The defendant insisted that he was eiti,led to a month's rent, and detained a box belonging to the plaintiff, containing his clothes. The fact of the detention of the box wa proved, by a servant of the plaintiff. Air. HUTCHs,SOit, on the part of the defendant contended that a more impudent action had never been brought before a court of justice. The defendant, who was a rospctable tradesman at trome. let part of his house to the plaintiff On the first night the plaiutiff entered the lodgings, he slept alone; but on the foUlowing night he brought a wooman in to dleep with hih; the de. fendant, who did not wish to have such sceries presented to the eyes of his wife and daughters2 refused to allow the female to enter the house again. The plaintifn might, If he pleased, have occupied the lodginga alone. lie trusted that the jury would consider this a case in zhicl thev were called tipon to give the lowest damages possible. No witnesses were called for the defendant. The CHIEF BAnON observ&d, that the jury mutt return a ver- dict for the plaintiff, whose conduct, however, it could not be denied had been very improper. The Juxy returned a verdict for the plaintiff.-Damages one farthing. COIJRT OF EXCHEQUER, WVD'ESDAY, JULY 14.

The French papers of 'T'uesday arrived last niglht; and(I we have given, under thc proper hcad, such extracts froiri thern as scem rnmsst deserving of attention. Among thcse is a paragraph, which we are at a loss to uniderstand ; and about the mcaning i1' wlich, perhaps, it is scarcely worth while to puzzle ourselvrs. SwiF1i, if we remernber right, nearly broke his teeth in cracking a nut, and found in it only a worm. So far as the obvious construction of wordsI would carry us, the Protestant Government of <Great Bri- tainl appears, by this patagraph, to have or(lercl a Catholic mlass to be said tor the soul Of JAS;Es If., onl the occasionI of translating from the church of St. Germains sanne of tthe mortal remains of the abdicated Monarch, anid to have employed the British Ambassador at Paris to make the ar- rangemenms. A Scotch Bishop in partihiLs was etgage(d to officiate ; and British subjects wevre invite(d to attend. i As Protestants, we have no idtea that mnass can do any goodI or harm either tothe livingorthc dead; and bythose who he- lieve in itsbuneficialefficacy, we object not to its performance, eitherfor a convictecd couspiratoror an exiled tyrant-forGuv FAUX, or JAfEs II. ; but why should British subjects be invited to attend a soleminity from which they are hound to absent thetnselves oni the score of religion, and which3 they nust abhor on that of civil freedom ? If such a service has been ordlered, there is veason to fear that the memory of the Royal exile is honourced, not as a Catholic, but as a le- gitiinate sovereign; andl if legitinate, as he dloubtless was on thle principles of the Holy Alliance, vhat becomes ol' the title of his successors ? The statement, after all, may be merely a mistake; as, if fact, it is certainly an absur- dity. If the Keeper of the King's conscience has ordered the Bishop of EDINBuRGH to 9ay mass for the soul of a Catholic King who died near a century ago, we shall hear no more of the toast of the ProtestAnt Ascendentcy, and sec uo mnore opposition to the Catholic claims.

Papers and letters from Jamaica to the 9th ult. were received on Saturday by the pack-et, but afford little sub- ject for remark on the state of the island. Perfect tran- quillity appears to have prevailed in every part of it. The trade with the Colombian MIain was rapidly extending, and convoys were constantly sailing for Santa Martha, Cartha- gena, and the other ports on that line of coast. Advices from Lima to the 26th of December had been received at Kingston, up to which period the contending atmies in Peru had not met. A convention, it is said, had been en- tered iatoby BOLiVAR with RIvA AGUERRO, by wlhich the latter consented to embark for Europe, and the whole of his troops were united to those of the Colombian President-an accession of strength that would enable him to open the campaign against the Royalist Spaniards with great advan- tages on his side. From Santa Fe de Bogota, the seat of the Colombian Government, initelligence has been received through Jamaica to the 9th oi February. It completely falsifies the late absurd rumours circulated through the French papers, as not an iota of evidence is supplied, either by the papers or the letters, that Spain possesses even a few solitary partisans in that coUntry, and much less that they formed aparty sufficiently strongto declare themselves openly for FERDINAND), or to compromise the existence of the esta- blished Government. A considerable nutnber of the mem- bers of. the Congress had arrived in Bogota preparatory to the commeiicement of the session, but the period of its opening had not been definitively fixed. AMr. IVILSON, SOD of Sir ROBERT 'rILsoN, arrived at Truxillo about the middle of December, wbUre BOLIVAR at that time had his head-quarters. Hewas received in the most dlistinguished manner, and had conferred upon him an employ about the person of the PReSIDEN-r. The Bogota Gazette of the 5th of February containis an official notice of the recal of Mr. RAVE.NGA, as envoy to this country, ac- companied by a high eulogium. on his talents and zeal, and the essential services render(d by him to the Republic. The cause of hiis recal is declared to be the personal liability he was understood to, have incurred in this country, and the arrest to which he was some time ago subjected, in consequence of that supposed liability, for debts contracted for Colornbia. Several new schools on the Lancasterian plan were establishing in the different provinces of Colom- bia; and these accounts from the Republic present, on the whole, the appearance of political tranquillity and progres- sive improvement.

The statement, Alr. LEditor, the undersigned miost unequivocally now declare to be utterly riase, no such impression having been en. tertained by any one of us, either at the tiine or subsequently, and that we are now, as we then were, perfectly and conscientiously con. vincetl of tie prisoner's guilt, nor has any circumstance transpired to disturb the unauimous verdict then given. It is not wittout feelings the iiost acute that tie undersigned lhave occasion to revert to the tsubject in any shape, after havinig deli- veredl their testimony in such a place, and undter such peculiar cir cuinstances; but consider themselves bound in justice to make the above statement of.facts, in orderto preserve that consistency of col- duct they trust they have hitherto sustainet in society. The undeisigned were anxious the above siatemcnt shiould mleet the public eye as speedily as possible, after that receivecd by thesn this miorning; and therefore it appears with only 11 signatures, Alr.
