It is truly lamentable that this generous nation should not have her friendly intercourse requited by the rest in the way that their common interest requires; but she not being answerable for an aberration of mind so ill-becoming the enlightened age in which we live, she must console herself with not having provoked evil, and having ever been disposed to good; and, above all, to distinguish, by real proofs of useful and reciprocal union, those states which were disposed to preserve and appreciate these valuable ties, and not to sacrifice the interests of their subjects to the passion or caprice of their rulers.

The steady and constitutional conduct of your Majesty's Government leads the Cortes to rely most fully that it will continue to advance, thus nobly, in the path of glory, overcoming every obstacle, and stecring the vessel of the state safely into harbour, aided by the zeal and resolution of the heroic soldiers of all arms, the praise-worthy constitutional corporations, and, in general, by the noble intrepidity

of the Spaniards.

have taken.

so requiring it, these deputies should have again to exercise the legislative functions, they will repeat, in the face of the whole world, what they declared in their sittings of the 9th and 11th of January last, and expressed anew on the 29th of July, with. general applause.

Your Majesty may make yourself easy, in the full confidence and security that you will find them by your side whenever your Majesty may apply to them to support the dignity of your constitutional throne; and that they never can wish for a day of greater joy to them than that on which, removed with your Majesty to the centre of the monarchy, they may be able to congratulate your Majesty on the attainment of victory, after having driven the enemy beyond the Pyrenees.

Epic poetry and romantic history alone can do justice to the brave Catalonians, who have honoured their province and the Spanish name by the heroic resistance which they have opposed to the French banditti during the last four months.

Corunna was surrendered to the infamous Morillo, after a resistance of a month.-Pampeluna, after, suffering the horrors of a regular bombardment, was then forced to capitulate; and Santona has also surrendered. Thus crime triumphs over virtue, and the nations of the earth as basely, as coolly look on.

GREECE.

The Greek Committee in London having sent Mr. BLAQUIERE to examine and report on the state of that country, he lately returned, and a report has been published which does honour to his head, his heart, and his principles. The modern Greeks appear to be worthy of their renowned ancestors, and, although maintaining an unequal contest, have nearly, if not entirely, delivered their country. If the unprincipled Jews of London should not negociate a loan to the Porte, its resources in men and money seem exhausted; and, if Russia does not interfere, the firm establishment of a Greek Republic seems inevitable.

The only ecclesiastical promotion he obtained was that of one of the Prebendaries of London, which he must have enjoyed many years, as he stands next to Dr. Parr. Dr. Winstanley, when he died, was in his 85th year.

Mr.

At Gatcombe Park, Gloucestershire, 60, David Ricardo, esq, M P. for Portarlington, a gentleman who, at the Stock Exchange, in the House of Commons, and as a public writer on political economy, had acquired considerable celebrity and influence. He was born of Jewish parents, but had become a proselyte to the Christian religion. His accumulation of wealth, and his distinction in life, arose from his connection with the loans of the late wars against France, of which his acute and calculating mind enabled him to take the best advantage. His success and his knowledge of the funding system gave currency to his first publications, and when he subsequently entered the legis lature, his opinions on these subjects were listened to by all parties, and particularly by those whose thinking powers lead them to attach great mystery to questions of political economy. Ricardo was, doubtless, a sensible, plansible, honest, and experienced man; but unfortunately he was a mere calculator, and one of those economists whose reasonings would be admirable if applied to timber and stones, but which are mis. chievous when applied to sensitive beings, and to a state of society altogether artificial. His favourite maxim was to suffer every thing to find its own level, in a country where monopoly of every kind are upheld by law, and where he himself was protected in the enjoyment of a million sterling, while hundreds of industrious men were destitute of a week's capital, within a mile of his palace. Such being his primary axiom, and such his narrow application of it, his theories were mischievous; yet, as they tended to support the strong against the weak, they were highly popular among the aristocracy of both Houses. He was in consequence listened to with attention, and his voice and manner being inobtrusive, while he treated of abstractions beyond the comprehension of the bulk of his auditory, so his conclusions often had more weight than they deserved. Nevertheless, he was a man of liberal principles, and generally voted on the side of liberty and reform; zealously aided Mr. Hume in regard to

ma

many of those economical questions which that gentleman has agitated. In a word, he was a patriotic and useful man, with out being a philanthropist; and we con fess, that we regard benevolence in a statesman to be as cardinal a virtue, as charity in a Christian; insomuch that, without a predominance of this quality, all others are equivocal and dangerous. He has left a large family, and some of his brothers enjoy much credit in the money market.

At his seat near Cirencester, Matthew Baillie, M.D. This gentleman was a native of Scotland, and son of a professor of divinity at Glasgow. After having received the rudiments of education at Glasgow, he was sent to London, under the care of his two maternal uncles, the late Dr. William and Mr. John Hunter. Under these he acquired an extensive and complete know ledge of the profession he intended to pursue. He was sent early to Oxford, where he took his degrees; and was admitted to the full degree of M.D. in 1789. Repairing to London, he was admitted of the College of Physicians about the same period as Dr. Vaughan (now Sir Henry Halford.) These two gentlemen soon came into great practice, and perhaps there is no instance of two men in the medical profession rising so young to so great an eminence. To Dr. Baillie the medical world is indebted for a work of great inerit, entitled, "the Morbid Anatomy of the Human Body," 1793; to which he added an Appendix in 1798; and which reached the fourth edition in 1807. In 1799 he published "a Series of Engravings to illustrate the Morbid Anatomy," which reached a second edition in 1812. He has like wise published "Anatomical Description of the Gravid Uterns." These works, and the high character he bore in his profession, brought him into great practice, and enabled him to accumulate a good fortune. "A fortune (as his biographer in the Public Characters says,) which was gained with much reputation, and to the entire satis. faction of those who employed him." He had been physician to the late king, and no doubt he might have been to the present; but Dr. Baile did not sɛek honours, He was brother to the celebrated Miss Joanna Baillie. He married, early in life, Miss Denman, daughter of the late Dr. Denman, and sister to the celebrated advocate of that name and Lady Croft. Besides the above works, Dr. B. was the writer of several papers in the "Transactions of the Society for Medical and Chirurgical Knowledge." While living, Dr. Baillie was admired for the independence of his spirit, and his loss will be universally regretted.

At his seat in Scotland, the Right Hon, John Hope, earl of Hopetoun, in Scotland,

He

and Baron Nidry, of the United Kingdom. He was descended from a very ancient Scottish family, who made their fortune by trade, they were not ennobled until the reign of Queen Anne. The subject of the present memoir was born in 1766; and, being a younger son, was put into the army, which he entered as an ensign in 1785. By purchase and family in terest, he rose to the rank of lieutenantcolonel in 1793, just at the period of the war with France; in this, he was called to not a very conspicuous part. When Sir R. Abercrombie took the command of the British army in the West Indies in 1795, he was appointed his adjutantgeneral, and was promoted to the local rank of brigadier-general. Here he particularly distinguished himself during the years 1795 and 6. His commander, in his dispatches, spake of him as a most ective and intrepid officer, coming forward on all occasions, and even when his duty did not particularly call him. He retained to Europe, and in 1799 accompanied the troops in the same capacity of adjutantgeneral to Holland; but, being severely wounded in the attack on the Hilder, he was obliged to return. In 1600, still accompanying his old general, Abercrombie, he embarked for Egypt, but had the misfortune to be again wounded at the battle of Alexandria, still acting in the capacity of adjutant-general, sailed with the English troops to Sweden, and was afterwards in the unfortunate expedition to Walcheren. In 1809, he embarked for Portugal, and was under Sir John Moore both in that country-and Spain; in the retreat of Sir John Moore's army, he was third in command, and gave many proofs of his intrepid duty and good conduct. At the battle of Corunua, Sir John Moore being mortally wounded, and Sir David Baird, the second in command, having lost his arm, the command devolved on General Hope, whose exertions contributed much to the repulse of the French. He was now rewarded for his services, by the Order of the Bath; he afterwards commanded in Ireland, but in 1813 was sent to join the army in Spain. At the battle of Nive, he commanded the left-wing, and was again wounded. He continued under the command of the Duke of Wellington, in his victorious march through Spain, and entered France with him. He was left to command at the siege of Bayonne, but, had the misfortune to be made prisoner à sortie. On his return he was rewarded. for his services by being created Baron Nidry. In 1816, he succeeded to the title of Earl of Hopetoun, by the death of his elder brother. In 1809, he obtained the full rank of general in the army. Lord Hopetoun, at his death, was a Privy

Councellor

Councellor of Ireland; Colonel of the 42d regiment of foot, G.C.B., and hereditary keeper of Lochenaben Castle. He was twice married: first, to Elizabeth, daughter of Charles Hope Wear, esq. who died without issue; he then married Louisa Dorothea, daughter of Sir James Wedderburn, baronet, by whom he has had eleven children, mostly sons. He is succeeded by his eldest son, who was born in 1803.
