Now, after the Courier should have seen these sums advertised as subscribed and paid into a banker's hand, (Mr. Weatherstoue) should still doubt that lie would acknowledge his belief in the reality of the subscription ; for he was afraid that it was not that writer's n:411 ever to believe that to he title which proved to be of advantage to this country.—(llear ) The remaining resolutions were propmed and carried unanimously.

A meetin been held, ti of Sir Robert be held in eve nouruble feelin, exist. hliuutcrs of their Sovvreigi THE NATIONAL REGISTER we would have disgraced any other Junta—to them it does honour as it supports their CONSISTENCY, in a line of conduct which. if pursued much further, will either conquer the British Constitution, or oblige those who arc really attached to the vene rable fabric, to take means fin its preservation, which may possibly overwhelm the reptile beings who have long been endeavouring to destroy it. In the late war Sir Robert Wilson rendered the most important services. lie was presented subse quently to the battle of Bautzen, by the Emperor Alexander, with the Cross of the Russian Order of St. George, as a public and honourable testimonial of the Emperor's approbation of his conduct on that well-contested field. And the Emperor, in a letter witten with his own hand, referred to this occasion in these words:—" When 1 decoratei yon, in Me . face of Mr/ aim/, with the badge of St. George, 1 did justice to the indefatigable zeal which, during the whole of the campaign, has constantly attached you to the advanced guards—to the brilliant valour and devotion of which I have been an eye-witness at the battle qf Bautzen; and, finally, to many other proofs of intrepidity, attested by all the brave war riors of the combined army." Similar testimonies to his transcendant merit were borne by the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria. And l'rince Schwartzeilberg, the commander-in chief of the allied forces, officially declared to the English am bassador, that he considered the success of the al lies in the great and decisive battle of Leipsic to have been signally promoted by Sir Roliert Wilson's judicious disposition of the Austrian cavalry, and by his conduct on that glorious day.—And yet, be cause this excellent officer, who is as humane as he is brave, chose to beg of a brother officer that he would prevent his soldiers from firing upon his Ma jesty's unarmed sultjects, he is to be dismissed from the army, and deprived of that pittance he bad earned by twenty years of heroic, assiduous, and successful exertion. Letters dated the 4th ult. were received on Thurs day from Odessa, hut still without finally determin ing the question of peace or war. They had advices which had been only seven days on the journey from St. Petersburg'', yet Ow most important filet that transpired was, that the English Ambassador had the honour, twice in the week, of dining with hi, Imperial Majesty. No doubt is, however, enter tained of the amicable termination of the difference between Russia and the Porte, as eight regiments of Russian troops had received orders to retreat from the frontier : and the commanding officer at Sebas topol had been directed to discontinue fitting out the fleet. The appointment of another ambassador to Constantinople, it is supposed, will be t:ie mode in which the pacific views of the Emperor Alexander will be first manifested to Europe. A letter from Smyrna, of the ;29th of August, mentions a fact of great importance, if its truth can be relied upon. It states, that the amnesty of the Turkish sultan had been communicated to the Greek fleet in the Archipelago, and that many of their ships had determined to accept it, and to aban don the contest. This infimrinion was given at Smyrna by a small French vessel of war, the master of which declared he had met several Greek ships of war returning to their respective islands to disarm. IMPROIFEYENT IN A FROSTATION...—II has been proposed by a gentleman of Cork, to keep a balloon constantly in a favourable current of air, by de• creasing or diminishing its specific gravity, so as to cause it to sink or rise at pleasure. Fur this put.. pose, a copper vessel and a condensing pump, which will serve in a great measure as ballast, are attached to the car. When the Wilma is rising too high, its volume is to be diminished by condensing the hydr gen gas into the copper vessel. (?n the ant when it sinks too much, by drogcn is to 110 -1' 317 I Sir Robert Wilson's case is not the only one of a similar nature. Serjeant Cummins, after 16 years service in the army, two of which he served as Cor poral, and nine a Serjeant in the Royal Marine Artillery, was some time ago dismissed without court-martial, or any inquiry at which he was pre sent, merely for proposing in a company the Qneen's health, after that of the King had been drank. For this heinous offence this meritorious soldier, whose conduct, although a subaltern, has gained him an Order from the Emperor Alexander, has been dismissed after 16 years service, without pen sion or any remuneration whatever ! Thus are a brave man and his family left to perish, merely be cause he had humanity enough to wish well to an injured, heart-broken lady. It would appear, then, that the idea entertained by soldiers that they have a right to pension, after a certain number of years service, if guilty of no offence, is altogether an illu sion, as they may at any time be discharged without cause, and without the sentence of a court martial, which is conidered as a bar to any claim of pension. Soon after the death of her late Majesty, the Rev. Mr. Emmott, of V arm, a dissenting minister, be. longing to the Stockton circuit of the Weslcyun Methodist connexion, being appointed to preach at Stockton, refused to do so, because the pulpit of the chapel was not hung with any emblem of mourning befitting the solemn event to which we have allnded, observing that the absence of such customary indi cations of honour on the demise of any branch of the Royal Family, was a tacit acknowledgment that bur Majesty was guilty of the accusation of her enemies. But, in consequence of repeated solicitations, he waved his objection, and consented to preach ; and he preached accordingly from the following passage: —" Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked ; between him that served& God and him that served' him not."—Malachi, c. iii. v. 18.—The reverend gentleman from these words delivered a most excellent discourse, which was so pathetic in parts, as to draw tears and sobs from the congregation, concluding it with the Queen's own emphatic observation, " They have destroyed ine." A letter, in the French papers, from Marsala, in Sicily, states, that six slaves at ]finis lately formed and successfully executed a plan for robbing the Dey of his own arms, which are of exquisite work manship and great value. They embarked on board a small vessel, and mood for Sicily. The Dcy having discovered the robbery, sent one of his cor sairs after them, but which did not come up with the fugitives until they had got within the range of the Sicilian batteries. Bath vessels entered the port of Marsala together, where they are pot under quarantine. The magistrates of Marsala have thus time to consider what they should do in this case. k xtruct of a letter from Havre, dated Oct. 2:— " I tun sorry to intbrm you that the commercial dif ficulties between the United States and France will not be settled so easy as was first imagined, and, according to the present appearance, will continue much longer; in consequence of which the Ameri can trade must continue to be carried on by English vessels." Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated Sept. 17. " The Regulatear, a French journal, which is pub lished in this capital, having printed and circulated a paragraph in one of his last numbers, the Minister Plenipotentiary of England passed a note to the Mi nister of Foreign AtLiirs, demanding the imprison ment of the editor, M. Chapuis, a Frenchman, and the cessation of the journal. The Ntinister replied, that his authority was bound Ly the laws ; that he could not impose any punishment, nor any way im pede the press. Upon this the British Minister car ried his complaint befbre the competent tribunal, and the passage was translated before the Jury of Accusation, who dismissed the complaint. The greatest obscurity prevails in regard to the events which have caused the recal of Gen. Riego from his command in Arraguna. He and all his friends repel in the most positive manner, the accusation of republicanism. Sara e ,oussa, Valencia, and all the towns in Spain have displayed great enthusiasm in favour of the General, and loudly blame the Minis ter, who eavelopes in mystery an affair which involves the most illustri o us name in our revoletie , The Count de Mouteztue the ..nciee, _ .
