northward, for the parpofe of rendering their junction with his Lordihip .nm e easy and certain. There are now nearly complete on the (locks at Mangalore, two ihips of war—the one pierced for 64 guns —and the other for 36, they have been cuulti uCted under the direction of Europe an lhipwrights, retained in the fei vice of i ip poo, and are spoken of as being perfect in model as well as woi kinaufkip—the taking or deltroy ing of these lhips, would be an objectofno linall import, and meriis regard. During the riots in Birmingham, the Metho dists and followers ot the lace Counrels of Hunt ington, were uninolelted, on their declaring for Church and King. The Hotel belonging to Dadley, where the Revolutionilts dined, had only the windows bro ken—it was not pulled down, becanfe it belong ed to a Churchman. The colliers who came to join and afiift the rioters in Birmingham, were drove out ot town ; the inob declaring they did not want the allilt auce of any rabble, whose objeJt might only be to plunder. The Empress' i An finer to the Minijlers of the allied poiotrs by Count d'Ojhrman. " Whenever the courts of Berlin and London and other powers, made known to the Empress their desires of feeing the war, which unhappi ly broke out- between Kuffia and the Porte, spee dily finiflied, her Majelty always shewed such in clination as fully demonstrated a perfect con currence in the wilhes of such powers, of which, in all thtf cabinets, are to be fonnd the nioft in controvertible proofs " The ineiaorial delivered on the 26th of May new stile) by the minilters of the two fiift na med powers, only mentions, in general terms, the procuring fafety for the Ottoman Porte in the next peace, and of commencing a negocia tion on that fubjetfl. Her Majesty can penetrate its objetft and aim the less, as the flatters herfelf in having offered all that peaceablenefs, geneio fity, and condefcention, suggested to her tor the general convsn'unces (perhaps circumllanas would be a better word) confident with her dignity, the juflice of her cause, *tnd lier care for the fafety and tranquility of her empire. " For, after having been unlawfully challen ged and attacked, as is well known to all the world,and which bave been particularly acknow ledged and confelled formerly by the courts of London and Berlin ; after a heavy expenlive war during four years, though on the pare of Ruiiia it has been attended with uninterrupted advantages, and which have put her in polieliion of several provinces and (frrong places, under the Turkiih dominion ; the Empi ess, conformable to the laws adopted and acknowledged by all na tions, ought to have a due right of keeping the whole of these conqtiefts, or at least a part, as a jufl, but yet too finall an indemnification for so many disasters, and incalculable of which the heavy burden has been supported all the time by her dominion. " However, her Majesty being inspired with moderation and difintereltednefs, has not hesi tated to make a facrifice of all the advantages which the progref3 of her arms fsemedto promise her, by making 110 conditions for herfelf, ex cepting only to secure the (lability of a peace which she wilhes to conclude, by fixing a new frontier, and which frontier far from exposing the defenfive fafety of the Porte, on the contra ry insures it, as it removes all canfes of difference and contentions, which an immediate neighbor hood is too much liable to do, and which has be come a source and occasion of dilFentions and bloody wars. " A river, like that of the Neifter, offers a frontier as natural, as fit to prevent, in the pro gvefs of time, all the above-mentioned inconve niences, without having any particular influence (which can easily be demonlti ated) 011 the pow er of both parties interefled ; her Majelly thinks it necessary to infill upon this demarkation of frontier, the more so, as ihe thereby makes it a gree to profpeds which the Courts of Berlin and London leem to have at heart for the fafety of the Ottoman Porte, and for the preservation of the lasting and univei sal tranquility of Europe, which the Empress has also ever made a fubjeifl of her continued and moll animated care. " Guided by these motives, evidently ;he basis of equity and justice, her Majesty lias ordered her ministers to declare to the Courts of Berlin and London, thatihe Itill continues in the lame peaceable and moderate sentiments which ftie has ever Ihewn ; and thatihe will avail herfelf with the greatest pleafureof every impartial and amicable step which the courts (hall think pro per, for the continuation of the salutary works of peace, provided her dignity and the welfare of her subjects be provided for in fucha manner as ajuft cause and reason prescribes and requires.

Several companies have offered to eredt these bridges, on condition of being allowed a toll; but as jobbs are not encouraged, they ha\e not yielded to any of these propolals, buc make a general offer to all artists willing to engage in the undertaking.

A writer in the Liverpool paper of July 21ft, calls eai neftly on the inhabitants of that place to erea a number of new Churches, for the ac commodation of the poor. He fays that of the ijlAblijhedChurch there areatleaft thirty.five rhou fand poor persons—os whom upwards of thirty thousand are altogether unprovided with places of public worship. " We fee thousands of the lower fort," adds he, " in defiance of all law and decency, profaning the Sabbath, and loiier ing in the field, lanes, and public houses." Jfthofe ofthe e[tabiifh;d Church in Birming ham, are in the fame miserable situation with their brethren in Liverpool, we may readily ac count for their late horrid proceedings. How should men fear a God whom they had never been taught to worfliip ?—or obey his laws of which they had never even heard ?
