The Right Hon. Gentifenan arrivedl on Wednesdav. In the rlidst of all the speculations relative to his visit to this country, we. are astonished that private motives, and not political ones, have never been taken into account. Ar. Canning is about to give his daughter in nmarriage to ayoung Irish nobleman, who has justemerged fron a ninorityof Pnvnn years. His estatesare all in this country; his agents and guardians, and those competent to settle accounts, are, with the yoang nobleman himself, at present in Dublin.-Drdb- dIr. Canning leaves town to-morrow. lie would have sailed this ay for nglan, but at the recquest of his Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant, he has been induced to prolong his visit to Dublin for one day. Trhis alteration in the intentions of Mr. Canning, who hadconteplateT remaining in Irelanid for a week or ten days, or mnore, has occurred in conseqnence of the expected d,tmise of the Kingot rale anti the change in our Continental arrangements ecesariy involved in that event, which will require the presence of th e Forelga Secretary in the E;nglisis mctropolis. Thus, fro- 5.it~ooked for circulmstance, the'' YiSit of a Cabinet ilinister to s. .,a;nd, and all the great objects connected therewitih, be- come futile. v Lin, and nugatory.-.Dr,,li, Star, Sept. 18.

In our leading article of Tuesday last, the 28th, the public, if they will ;ecur to it, will find( the following para- graph:-" Every thing that the new KING (of FRANCR) "has done appears to have been well done ; but there is "one measure which, we think, His iMAJESTY might "adopt at the commencemenit of a new reign, which would "at once evince his own security, and gratify his people's wislhes: LET HIM WITHDrIAW TIlE CENSORESHIt, AND RESTORE THE PRESS TO ITS LATE FREEDOM. lWhat b has he to fear? Attacks upon the Ministers ? Let the MN-Iinister then afford his adversaries this metho(d of "assailing hirn: if they owe their arms to his indulgence,at least they cannot dip them in poison. There is no mea- sure by which he could so show himself to be their su- "perior." An express arrived on Friday niglht from Paris with the important decree that the Censorship is abolish- ed by the new Sovereign, and the (late of that decree is the 29th day of September. It is needless to express ap. probation of a measure, the approach or the introduction of which we thus lhaile(l. It is of more consequence to state, that this most important act of the new KING'S reign has been received by his subjects with corrcsponding acclamations of gratitude; anid among Ihem we are sure it will be prodluctive of good rather than ill. It is best that hostility and oppoeition should be allowed to evaporate by the press, both because they thus abate or moderate the evils of which they complain, and because by being smothered they do but sink the deeper, and become more foul and malignant in their quality, till at last, incessantly gaining strength in the dark, they explode and blow up the State. It is only when men canuot speak or write that they plot. A free press, also, forewarns the Government of danger, and enables it to sooth passions, andl elude attacks, of which it could otherwise have no notice, except by the suspicious and odious method of espionnage.

Tle proceedings in the House of Commons last night ,with re-pect to the recognition of the inidependence of the Soauth American States, was less Interesting than might have been expected. Inreply to Sir JTAEs MACINTeSU'S speech, LIr. CANNING indiCctted. that no change haa taken place, and that our Govirniment still rested on its former decearations; but, after he had sat down, as women are said to impart the moa important intelligence in the postscripts of their letters, he rose again to say, that we had refused anew to becomne a party in a Congress of the great Powers, for the arrangement of the difFerences between the South Arnerican States and old Spain. Now, it may be very true -that no important change, no crisis has arisen in the affairs of South America, calling for an immediate and formal re- cognition; but yet it maybe oserved, in the werds of Lord BACON, that time itself, by its silent lapse, is tbe greatest innogvtor: it hath in this instance produced a change, for if the revolved Stateshave made no approach to a re-union, they are for that Terv cause the more dissevered, because they have-coutinued ionger in a ztate of sepgaration: and nfficient time has now surely been allowed to the mother country to obtain, if she pleased, the grace ancd merit of the fist recognition.

WVe congratulate the public on the maritime successes of the brave and ill-used Greeks, the authenticity of which is now placed beyond all question by the (despatches of the officer who aclieved them. Nothing could be more gallant or enterprising than the whole series of operations which endeled in the flight and dispersion of the Turks. If the hint about ccrtaii European sailors, who were scen to fall from the Turkish men of war while burning, should be found to come nearer home than niight be wished, are we to expect a supplementary notice from Sir FREDERICIt ADA,M, to rmake the Greek Admiral responsible to Englanid, for daring to burn ships with British seamen on board lhem ? A Smyrna letter of the 2d ult., confirms the nar- rative of the victory obtalned iiear Sarios,; and states, as an important result of that occurrence, that the Egyptian fleet, against which Admiral M11ULIS was proceeding, had, in its uncertainty and consternation, feared to touch any where for the necessary supplies of water, which had occa. sioned the destruction of all the cavalry horses on board themn, and had completely frustrated the expedition ; or at least had furnished a plausible cloak to thc PACIIA, who professed to have no alternative left but a direct return to Alexandria.

Sir,-The dispute which i7secently arisen respecting the author of the beautiful copy of verses oa the burial of Sir John Moore, has recalled public attentioat to the eveBts of that time. From the sagacity, courage, and self-devo- tion of the General, the mind naturally,but painfully,turns to that perversences and ignorance by which he was thwarted and perplexed. Now, it has appeared to me, that with some slight alterations, the same lines might be made to apply to the fate, though not the funeral, of the Diploh matist; so that if there be a.y justness in the conception, or felicity in the execution, the fame of both might descend together to posterity. I have the honiour to remain. Mir vrn1r! &n- A.B. lie took} no leave of the Spanish Coart, VWhen to England the EXvoy hurried: No salute was fired as he left the port, All was still Ps wheat poor men are baried. No cabin apart the Envoy bore, No cordons of honour bound him But he lay like a smuggler creeping in shore, With his kegs of Hollauds around him. Ar: ived at home, no Court he trod. Where all tongues his demerits were scanning; But he stole in a jarvy down Glocester-read, To grumble his griefs to George Canning. Short and grufl'was the greeting he found, His friend spoke not a word of sorrow; On his heel he frigidly turned him round, And thought of his speech for the morrew. Ile thought, as he lay on his bed in the dark, And smoothed down his nuptial pillow. 'Twere better to quit so fraU a bark, Than that both should be lost in the billow. i So, lightly I'll talk of his embassy done, " In St. Stephen's Chapel upbraid hin, For nothing he'll reek if we let him sleep on, " And ho has but his pension paid him." St. Stephen's had heard but half of the straia, WVhen the clock shor'il the hour tbr reposing, And heavy statesmen had long striven in vain Te keep themselves from dezing. Slowly and sad then to Alalta lie sailed, Past the land with our blood fresh and gory There City Sir William the diplomat liailed, Hlis partner in genius and glory. . On the question of the author of the verses on Sir John loore, we may take this opportunity of observing, that there can be little doubt but that to Al r. Woolte. the Irish dJergyman, the honour belongs of having written one of the finest odes in the Eng- lish language. His early death selves the difficulty which must at first liave occurred to every reader, that the rman who could write sucl beautiful poetry sllould have furnished only one specimen of his genius. In justice to Lord Byron, it should be observed, that he never claimed the poem: he expressedi. indeed, a high admira- tien of it; alnd Mlr. DMedwin inferred from that admiration, not very consistently with his declarations of the general candour and in- tegrity of his noble tHend, that he must be the author. TO TR EDIFPOR OF T?1E TIrS&.
