From late LONDON PJPER S. 7he foil owing is taken frmt an account Ij an illuflrioUi Envl'yh Traveller in Ger many and Turkey. " I have already pafled a large part of have seen -alj ih it is remarlcabje in Cologue, Frankfort, Wnrtfburgh, and Nuremberg. It is ir.'pofTlble not to obforve the diflertilcc between the free towns, and tiro Ce under the government ofabfolute Prin ces, as all the little frfvereigna of Germany are. tn twie firlt there appears an air of commerce and"plenty. The streets are well fcuilt, and full of people, neatly and plain ly drefTed. The Amps are loaded with m?r chandife and the commoffalty are clean and cheerful. In the other, you fee a fort of (hafcby finery, a number of dirty people of quality tawdered out ; narrow nasty streets, out of repair, wretchedly.\h ; n of inhabitants and above half of the common fort afkiiig 1 alms.—l cannot help fancying one under ; the figure of a clean Dutch citizen's wife, and the plher like a poor town lady of pjea fure, painted and ribboned out in her head drtfs, with tarni(hed fitver-laced shoes, a ragged under petticoat, a mifcrable mixture of vice and poverty. " The journey we made from Belgrade to Adrianrple, cannot pofiibly be pasTed by any out of a public charafter. The desert woods of Servia are the common refuge of thieves, who rob-fifty in a company, so that we had need of all our guards to secure us ; and the villages are so poor, that only'force could extort from themnecefTsry provifiont. Indeed the Janniflaries, had no mercy on theirpoverty, killing allthepoultry'aiidrheep they rould-firtd, without asking to ■ whom they belor.'jre 'wljllo the wretched owners durst not p«t in tneir claim,' for fear' of b«"' isg b4? Wi. ! . Lambs just fallen, geese and kutkie» big with egg, all massacred without diftin&ion ! I fancied I heard the complaints of Melibceus for the hope of his Hock. When General Officers travel, it is yet worse. These oppressors are not content with eating all that is to be eaten belonging to the pea sants ; after they have 1 crammed themselves and their numerous retinue, they have the impudence to exaft what they call teeth money a contribution for the use of their teeth, worn by doing them the honour „f devour ing their meat. This in literally and exaft ly true, however extravagant it may seem; and such is the natural corruption of milita ry Government, their religion not allowing of this barbarity any more than ours does. " The Government here is entirely in the hands of the army. The Grand Siegnior, with all his absolute power, is as much a flavc as any of his ftibjefts, and trembles at a Janiflary'i frown. Here is, indeed, a much greater appearance of fubje&ion than amongst u»; a Miniiler of State it not spoke to, but upon the knee; should a refledion upon his conduft be dropt in a Coffee-houfe ( fpr they have fpieg every where), the house vvogld be razed to the ground, and perhaps the whole company put to the torture. No huzzaing mobs, patriotic pamphlcts,or pub lie debates about politics; none of our harmlcfs calling names!—but when a Minify ter here displeases the people, in three hours time he is dragged even from his master's arms. They cut off his hands head and feet and throw them before the palace gate, with all the refpeifl in the world; while the Sul tan (to whom they all profefs an unlimited adoration) fits trembling in his apartment, and dare neither defend nor revenge bis fa vorite. This is the bleficd condition of the moil absolute Monarch upon earthy who owns no law but his will. " I cannot help wishing, in the loyalty of my heart, that th# parliament would fetid hither a (hip load of your palfive and obedi ent men, that they might fee arbitrary go vernment in its clearest, ftrongeftlight,where it is hard to judge, whether the Prince, People or Ministers are mojl mifcrable. I could make many reflections on this fubjedf; but T know your own good sense has alrea dy futoifhed you with better than I am ca pable of. " Mudh has been said concerning the in fidelity of the Turkilh women, belonging to families of quality. During my stay at Pe ra, I heard of but one circumstance. A young Venetian served in the (hop of an A pothecary at Conftantiuople, whom a Tur ki(h lady, attended only by her (lave, came to consult, and was (hewn into ancthtr room leaving the appientice and the fair CircaiTian alone. It is said that nothing then pafled between them. In a few days returning with!: mistress, and the fame opportunity recurring, (he opened her heart, proposed elopement, and promised much treasure. She kept her word, and they disappeared without subsequent detedtiiin. Upon disco very , the punifliment of theft: lovers would have been horrible: he would have been im paled alive!l!—and (he drowned in a sack!!! " Infidelity or licentions women, is a fub jeS of the fevertft crimination amongst the Turks, and their punifliment of it is nothin-*- less than gross barbarity. That branch of police is under rhe jurifdiftion of the Cap tain of the Guard, and many inferior officers. When any of ihefe mifcrable girls are ap prehended, for the firft time they are put to hard labour, <and ftridtly confined ; but for the second they are recommitted, and many at a time tied up in sacks, and taken in a boat to the Pier-point, where they are' mercilessly thrown into thefca ! ! ! " One (hudders to relate how many of these vi&img are taken out into the sea, at the dead of night, and committed to the deep. " The greater part of the wretched fuf ferers, as may be well imagined, become raving mad before reaching this last inhum an aft of the (hccking •'y ; and such of them at unhappily have iticfglh and firm ,n-'fs of i:ervC9 to retain fheir (enfej till the horrible catastrophe, are oiily refcrvcd to expe- ltnC j jnyj-f acutely, iu tJve mod dread ful lingering con valfivc the bitternefa ■>f a tpoufand deaths, from the horrors sa vagely infliftcd on these ill-fated halplefs fe males, under the faiiftion of this diabolical gotCtument."

THE KING i>. Wlt-LIAH YFOMAN. The indiftment charged the defendant with "whcioufly and coritemptuoufly coming into, a Goagrygation of pioteilant dissenters, lawfully assembled for religious worship, and »nKjf% difquitting and disturbing them. Mr. puriicy condufted the He ft a ted to the jury the act of parliament j 011 wtiic'h die,indidbneut was founded (the ToT?'ratio;i Aft ) ; that the diflenting con- I gregatfon, who were the prosecutor, were under the from the (rtqwent dist urbances they had experienced, of profecu.- ing fonie one individual, and they had there fore brought the defendant befour a jury to anfwef 'for the offence of which he had been guilty. The law prote£lcd dissenters in the ob servance of that mode of worship which was agreeable to their confeiences, provided they complied with all the reqnifitcs of the law, and that in thjt cafe the congregation had done so. That on the foujth of December lad they were engaged in religious worship, when the defendant thought fit to diftnrb thtm in a very grefs and indecent manner, the particular account of which the jury would receive from the witnesses, and if they be lieved'thofe witnesses they could have no hefitstitiri In pronouncing the defendant guilty. \ Tkat the congregation were not aftuated by any motives ; they had no re- to and therefore when the jury had taught the defendant by their ver diift tHst ft* iritift riot perfid in this fort of comduA; they would be cantcnt with an a pology froln him, and, unless he fhonld a gain «iflend, l thcy would not exaft the pun ishment which tht law had denounced. T\Vo witnesses graved that a congrega tion of protestant dissenters were assembled for religious worship, at a meeting-bouse, at Ryegate, in Ssrry ; that while the minister was preaching, the defendant employed himfelfin muttering, loud enough to dis turb those who were near him, and after do ing so for some time, he got up and walked towards the door, when, turning round, he said, in a loud voice, to the minister, " damn your eyes ; go to hell you b , I never knew a dog go tohell without barking yet." Upon bung, cross-examined they proved that no provocation was given by the min ister to the, defendant. Mr. Knowles theo addressed the jury for the defendant, but called no witnesses. Mr. Justice Buller.—•** oehtlemin of the jtrry,-tftit ir an indi&ment founded on a ftatote wbicK passed in the rtign of king William anil queen Mary, and known by the name of the Tuleration A£h " The objeft of this dsftute was what e very man in his heart mud commend, to leave every man to worship God in his own way ; to follow tht diftates of his' own con ference, and to observe them in such a man ner as he thinks right, he not doing mifchief to any other member of the community.— It is undonbtedly to be wifhedthatgn indul gence should be granted to all ranks of men. " The ground of this profecutipn is, that when this dissenting congregation were met for the purpose of worship, the defendant, Yeoman, thought fit to go inta this con gregation, disturb them in that worship, and, according to the evidence, to insult and a buse the minister to a great degree. " To be fuVe there cannot be more inso lent or more abusive conduft, than that proved on the defendant. It is said by his Counsel he did not mean to diflurb the congregation- Disturbing the minister, who was then performing his duty as the minis ter of thai congregation, is the greatest in sult lhatlcitjkl be offered to the congrega tion. TWothers, who were silent, were nit ef.abufe, the mod likely ob jeft oFibdfe was 'the minister in the aft of preaching. " It is proved tlijtt tlxjre were no words used on the part of the minister that should give him any provocation. But it should be remembered that when people assembled together in a place of worship for the pur pose of paying their duty to the Divine Be ing, a man, who does not agree in opinion with them, is not at liberty to go into that assembly and quarrel with the minister bc caufe he does not happen to utter the doc trine which is agreeable to his mind. The objeft aud purpose of theirbeing allowed to have such a meeting-house is, becau e they do r.ot agree with the regular church; they have ideas peculiar to themselves, and they have as much right to be pleased with their mode of worship as we have with ours, and they protected by the law in wor shiping God in their own way as much as we are, if they comply with the requisites of the law. Then these people were doing no mere by law itey had a right to do, when;this- man chose to go into this chapel, infult'tflfc minister,' and didiirb the mapner, you have heard. " I ana hound.to tell you the evidence brings.thist man's offence clearly within the aft, and if you believe the evidence it is your daty to find the defendant guily." The j,u,ry alipoft immediately found the defendant guilty. Mr. Guruey then said, that the offer he had made opening he \Vas now ready to fulfil ; he believed the defendant was in court, if Tie would now make an apology for his conduft the prosecutors would not call him up for judgment, unless he repeeted the offence. That the congregation had not been Jtafty or viindiftive in prosecuting, for tin's defendant had diduibed tlu?m once be- . fore, and had been .forgiven. I Mr. Judice B'jHer fa id the conduct of ■ the congregation did them great honor, and the defendant was a fool if he did not j accept the terms they offered him. Mr Knowles said the defendant was not in court, but he fhouldtertainiy advifs hiiii to do so. For the honour of humanity, may it (land recorded,- that towards the relief of the Briltol infirmary, the merchants and trades men of that city have fubferibed the sum ofSocol.

Died, on the 29th ult. at Derby, in the 63d year of his age, after a long and'pain ful illness, Joseph Wright, an ar tid whose works have already procured him thehigheft eminence in various branches cf his profeflion. He was a pupil of Hudson, who, though an indifferent painter himfelf, had the honor of indrufting three of the mod eminent painters of the age, vii. Sir Joshua Reynolds, Mr. Wright,andMr.Mor timer. Mr. Wright's early Historical Pic tures may be considered as the fird valuable productions of the Englidi School, because ®t the time his Gladiator, Orrery, Air Pump, Hermit, and Blacksmith's Forge, were painted, nothing of any conseqUence had been produced in the historical line.— His attention was afterwards direfted for some years to Portrait Painting, and from the fpccimens he has left, there can be no doubt that he would have flood in the firft rank in this branch of. the art, had he eho fen to pursue it ; but his genius was not to be circumscribed w;thin such narrow limits, and therefore at a mature age he visited I- ! taly, t» lludy the precious remain* of art i which that country possessed :—His fine drawings after Michael Angeloj (which | have scarcely been seen except by his psrti cularfriends) and the enthusiasm with which he always spoke of the sublime original, e vinced the edimation in which he held them, and from their extreme accuracy, they may be considered as faithful delineations of the treafuret of the Capella Scftina, and fueh a; have never yet been exhibited to the public During his abode in Italy, he had an op portunity of feeing a very memorable Erup tion of Vesuvius, which rekindled his in clination for painting extraordinary effe&s of light, and his different piftures of this sublime event, stand decidedly Chief D'o>:u -vres in that line of painting—for who but Wright ever succeeded in Fire or Moon Lights ! His late Pi&ures have been ahiefly Landscapes, in which we are at a loss, whe ther mod to admire, the elegance of his outline, his judicious-management of light and {hade, or the truth and delicacy of his cokniriikg, but of these the part have never been exhibited, "as they were al ways purchased from the Ealil by amateurs who kne\r how to appreciate their value ; a large landscape (his lad work) how at Derby, being a view of the Head of Ullf-' water, may be confi4?r*d among if the fined of his, and defervediy rankednvith the mod valued-pi oduftionsof Wilson, or even Claude himfelf. • In the historical Line* the Dea l Soldier, which Is now known by Heath's admirable Print, would alone edablifh his fame, if his Edwin, (in the pofleffion of L. Milnes, esq. of Wakefield, who has also his deftruftion of the lloating Batteries off Gibraltar, and fame of his bed Landscapes,) the two pic tures of Hero and Leander, Lady in Co mus, Indian widow, and other historical fubjefts, had not already afccrtaioed his ex cellency. His attachment to his native town, added to his natural modesty, his severe application both to the theory and practice ps painting, prevented his mixing with promiscuous society, or edablifhing . his reputation by arte which he would never de/cend to praftice ; hi 3 friends lftng urged him to reside in London,, but his family at tachments and love of retirement and study were invincible, ,and he fell a victim to his unwearied attention to his profeflion. His pictures have been so much in requett, that there is scarcely an instance of their ever having come into the hands of dealers, nei ther have his bell works ever been seen in Lond9n —a strong proof of their intrinsic worth, and that no artifices were necessary to iafure their sale. > It is with pleasure therefore we record, that his pecuniary circnmftances were al ways affluent, and shew that the world had not been unmindful of his extraordinary talents ; and also, that, as a man, he en joyed the frfendfhip and edeem of all who had the pleasure of his acquaint ince.

Mr. Dent presented a memorial from sundry inhabitants of St. Mary's county, in the (late of Maryland, Hating that by the lite regulations made in the eilablifhment of Polt-Roads, they were deprived of the op portunity of receiving news-papers as usual, whith as they have a direst tendency topro mote'an increase of knowledge, thry consid er as being deprived of a blefling, and pray for an exteniion of the road, that the evil they complain of may be remedied.—Refer red to a feleft committee. Mr. Reed presented the petition of Si meon Dunbar, stating that he pofleflcs con tinental SectlHties ; that he neVer heard of the aft of limitation, before the limit was expired, and prays that they may notwith standing be funded. A motion to refer this petition to the committee of claims, occafioiied some d«- Imte upon the propriety of reference of a petition, which acknowledged the claipi to be barred bylaw. It was,however,at length agreed to; when 14 Mr. Williams "ford, he believed there were many jull claims undischarged, owing entirely to the ignorance of the persons holding the securities, with refpe£t to the law of limitation ; for persons living on the frontierof the country, who were probably the bell entitled to compensation, had no meansof becoming acquainted with the laws. ' He therefore proposed the following resolu tion : Rc-folved, that a committee be appoint ed to enquire into the expediency or inex pediency of defigriatmg certain claims to be excepted fronv the operation of the aft «f li mitation, and that they report by bill or o therwise." Mr. Dwicht Foster fatd, that amo tion of this kind had b«en made in the lad winter feflion, and the committee of claims on the 24thof February, had made a lengthy report thereupon, which for want of time' had not been afted upon, and which was msntioncd in the report of unfinHhed busi ness. He supposed, if the gentleman mov ed this report to be committed to a commit tee of the whole, his objcdl would be at tained. After 3 number of defolt«ry observations, thii motion was put and carried, and made the order of the day far Friday. Mr. Gordon presented a petition from sundry inhabitants of N«vr-Hauip£hire, com plaining that there was no direct pod from Exeter to Concord, and P ra ymg that fetch a poll may be eftablifhed.—Referred to a fe left committee. • Mr. D. Foster said, he was inftrufted by the committee of claims, to afl< leave of the house to be discharged from the farther confederation of the petition of Mr. Maury, consul of the United SVates at Liverpool, in order lhat-it might be referred to the committee appointed to take into confidera ti«n that part of the President's speech which rel .ted to the consuls of the United States.—Agreed ; and the petition referred in the way proposed. Mr. Harper then called for the order of the day on certain rcfolations which he had offer*d to the confideratiim of the house on thefubjeftof taking evidence in cases of .contested elections. The motion was agreed to, and the house accordingly resolved itfelf into a commitllee of the whole on that'fubjeft, Mr. Dent in the chair. The rcfolutioiis were as follow : < " Refoliui. that the method of taking evidence to be adduced, in the trial of contend elefliom, for house, shall, be as follows : " ift.
