relieve some more obvious and superfi cial symptom, the worm of mental malady may be gnawing inwardly and undetected at the root of the constitution. He may be in a situation similar to that of a surgeon who, at the time that he is occupied in tying up one artery, is not aware that his patient is bleeding to death at another. Without an intimate acquaintance with, or at least a diligent attention to, the intellectual and active powers of man, the physician, from the elevated rank of a medical philosopher, is degraded to that of a mere fee-taker, in the profession. June 22, 1810, J. REID, Grenville-street, Brunswick-square. STATE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS IN JUNE. Containing official Papers and authentic Documents. GERMANY. THE three departments into which Hanover is to be divided, are to be called those of the Aller, the Ilmenau, and that of the mouths of the Elbe and Weser. HOLLAND. The Haerlam Courant of the 9th inst. -contained a decree, which appears to be intended to place additional fetters on commerce, extending the limits within which all magazines, depots, or warehouses of colonial produce and English manufactures, are prohi bited, from 2000 rods to the distance of 5000 rods from the sea coast. FRANCE. The city of Paris gave a grand fete to Buonaparte and his consort on the 10th inst. on returning from their late tour. It was nearly an exact counterpart of the fete which took place on the 2d of April. Horse-races, lotteries, concerts, balls, and fire-works, were again the leading spectacles and amusements of the day. The decoration which screened the apparatus of the grand fireworks on the Quay Napoleon, evinced much ingenuity. It represented a mountain, the base of which was skirted with rocks, and armed with two bastions, to exhibit the aspect of military work. Higher up was the temple of glory, shaded by oaks and laurels; end on the top, amidst a bower of myrtles and rose-trees, was the temple of Hymen, the paths leading to which were strewed with flowers. A ship, the old emblem of the city of Paris, also formed a part of these decorations. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. Dispatches have been received from Portugal to the 31st ult. at which date no engagement had taken place between the Anglo-Portuguese and French armies. The latter occupied a right line extending from Salamanca to Truxilio, and the former continue within the Portuguese frontier. The British force in Cadiz amounts to 7000 men, the Portuguese to 1500, and the Spaniards to 15,000, making the wholet 25,500. All apprehensions from the scarcity of water had subsided, a spring having been discovered equal to the supply of three times the number of the present inhabitants. General Massena was lately at Valladolid; before he left Salamanca, he published a proclamation, styling himself king of Portugal, and promising on his royal word to drive all the English into the sea in less than three months, and declaring that he will hang every British officer found in the Portuguese service. A large body of French troops appeared a few days since before Ciudad Rodrigo, but they retired on the appearance of an English force. Massena is to command the 24, 6th, and 8th, corps. The first is that which is under the orders of Regnie and has wasted much time in Estremadura without attempting any useful operation; the second is Ney's corps, from 8 to 10,000 of which are sick iu the hospitals; and the last, is Junot's, which, although originally comprising 18 of 19,000 men, is now greatly reduced, having lost more than 4000 men before Astorga, &c. GREAT BRITAIN. The prorogation of Parliament took place on the 21st, and it was universally expected that Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Gale Jones were to be drawn home from their respective prisons in popular cavalcade, as a incans of proving the sentiment of the nation on the power assumed by the House of Commons. Extensive preparations had been made for this purpose; and the following order of procession announced on Tuesday. Six Trumpeters on horseback.-Band of Music, six abreast-Gentlemen on foot, six abreast.-Band of music, six abreast.-Large dark blue streamer: motto "Hold to the Laws."-Fitty-two gentlemen on horseback, four abreast.-Sir Francis Burdett, in aa elevated carriage, drawn by four horses, supported by six gentlemen on horseback, on each side, bearing white wands; followed by: gentlemen on horseback, four abreast.Carriages to close, to fall in at the end of John-street, Minories. Procession to form on Tower-hill, to proceed up Cooper's-row, John street, America-aquare, Minories, Aidgate, Leadenhall-street, Cornhill, Poultry, Cheapside, Cheapside, St. Paul's Church-yard, Ludgatehill, Fleet street, through Picket street, Strand, Cockspur-street, Haymarket, Piccadilly. The only distinguishing mark to be worn, is a dark-blue favour. Members of the Common Councilmen and Livery of London will join the procession on Towerhill-A numerous body of Westminster electors will also proceed from the parish of St. Ann's, Soho, with their band of music, and with the following banners: Sky-blue banner, mottos, "The Consti ution." Dark-blue ditto, "Magna Charta.", Ditto, "Trial by Jury." Dark-blue streamer, Burdett and Freedom." They will fall into the procession on Tower-hill.-The Benevolent Society, called the Hope, will join the procession on Tower-hill, with a band of music and banner: mottos, "Magna Charta, on one side; on the other," Lex, Justitia, et Libertas." The day had scarcely dawned, when the people were in motionwhen music was heard in every direction. At the different appointed rendezvous in the several parishes of Westminster, the people began to assemble about ten o'clock, and from thence proceeded to the Tower. Before one o'clock, Tower-hill and all the avenues approaching it were literally thronged. By half-after two the whole of the procession was in readiness to move, and from that moment the most eager expectation prevailed, but which in the end was totally disappointed; for Sir Francis, we understand, yielding to the intreaties of lady Burdett and some friends, was no sooner liberated, than he took a boat, crossed the river, and joining lady Burdett, who was waiting for him, proceeded in his carriage to Wimbledon. Lord Moira was the first who announced this disappointment to the leaders of the procession, by whom it was communicated to the assemblage on Tower-hill; but there was a general indisposition to believe it. Mr. Sheriff Wood having, however, confirmed the intelligence, mingled expressions of surprise and indignation burst from many of the crowd; but the latter sentiment was short-lived; the people feeling that they ought to suspend their judgment until an opportunity was afforded for explanation. At five o'clock, the proces sion moved from Tower-hill. The phaton, with four horses, provided for Sir Francis Burdett, was empty; and the effect of a procession may be readily conceived where the hero is absent. At the head of the first party of horsemen were the Sheriff's Wood and Atkins, with their followers, mounted, dressed in black. Major Cartwright and Col. Hanger, led other bodies. Colonels Wardle and Bosville, Messrs. Waithman, Quin, Langley, Walker, &c. were also in the procession. The streets through which it moved, were crowded to an excess, and the windows of all the houses were occupied by elegant and well-dressed people. At eight o'clock, the procession reached the Baronet'ɔci house, and filed off by Berkeley-street. The houses in Piccadilly, Haymarket, and the Strand, were illuminated at night; a party. parading the streets, and calling out for lights, and windows were broken where no lights were put up. The exhortations of the sheriffs, whose activity was unwearied, were at length attended with proper effect, and at twelve the crowd dispersed. On the 21st, the session of Parliament was prorogued, by the following speech from the Throne: "My Lords and Gentlemen.-His Majesty has commanded us to acquaint you, that, as the public business is now concluded, he thinks it proper to put an end to the present session of Parliament. We are commanded by his Majesty to express the satisfaction he derived from the reduction of the island of Guadaloupe by his Majesty's arms, an event which, for the first time in the history of the wars of Great Britain, has wrested from France all her possessions in that quar ter of the world; and which, together with the subsequent capture of the only colonies in the West Indies which remained in the possession of the Dutch, has deprived his Majesty's enemies of every port in those seas, from which the interests of his Majesty, or the commerce of his subjects, can be molested. "Gentlemen of the House of Commons. His the liberal and ample supplies which you Majesty has commanded us to thank you for have granted for the services of the present year. His Majesty deeply regrets the necessary extent of the demands which those services have created; but we are commanded has derived from observing that the resources to express to you the consolation which he of the country, manifesting themselves by every mark of prosperity, by a revenus increasing in almost all its branches; and by a commerce extending itself in new channels, and with an increased vigour in proportion as the enemy has in vain attempted to destroy it, have enabled you to provide for the expences of the year without imposing the burden of any new taxation in Great Britain; and that, while the taxes which have been necessarily resorted to for Ireland, have been imposed upon articles which will not inter fere with the growing prosperity of that country, you have found it consistent with a due regard to its finances to diminish some of those burdens, and relax some of those regulations of revenue which had been felt the most inconvenient in that part of the United Kingdom. His Majesty further con❤ mands us to return you his thanks for the provision which you have enabled him to make for the establishment of his Serene Highness the duke of Brunswick. "My Lords and Gentlemen.-His Majesty ́ has has directed us to acquaint you, that Portugal, rescued from the oppression of the enemy by the powerful assistance of his Majesty's arms, has exerted herself with vigour and energy in making every preparation for repelling, with the continued aid of his Majesty's forces, any renewed attack on the part of the enemy; and that in Spain, notwithstanding the reverses which have been experienced, the spirit of resistance against France still continues unsubdued and unabated; and his Majesty commands us to assure you of his firm and unaltered conviction, that not only the honour of his throne, but the best interests of his dominions, require his most strenuous and persevering assistance to the glorious efforts of those loyal nations, His Majesty has commanded us to recommend to you, upon your return to your respective counties, to use your best exertions to promote that spirit of order and obedience to the laws, and that general concord amongst all classes of his Majesty's subjects, which can alone give full effect to his Majesty's paternal care for the welfare and happiness of his people. His Majesty has the fullest reliance upon the affections of his subjects, whose loyalty and attachment have hitherto supported him through that long and eventful period, during which it has pleased Divine Providence to commit the interests of these dominions to his charge. His Majesty feels that the preservation of domestic peace and tranquillity, under the protection of the law, and in obedience to its authority, is amongst the most important duties which he owes to his people. His Majesty commands us to assure you that he will not be wanting in the discharge of that duty; and his Majesty will always rely with confidence on the continued support of his loyal subjects, to enable him to resist with success the designs of foreign enemies, and to transmit unimpaired to posterity the blessings of the British Constitution." Dispatches have been received from Sir J. Stuart, in Sicily, communicating intelligence of the complete reduction of the island and fortress of St. Maura, to the troops employed against it, under the command of Brig.-Gen. Oswald. The batteries had been opened against the fortress nine days before its surrender. The French garrison consisted of 714 men, who have been made prisoners of war. Major Clarke, of the 35th, was killed, together with one subaltern and twenty-two rank and file; and two field officers, seven captains, two subalterns, and about 133 men wounded. AMERICA. Letters and papers from Boston, were received on Wednesday. The John Adama had not arrived at that date. The intelligence of the seizure of American ships by the French, had produced a strong sensation, and occasioned a difference between Mr. Secretary Smith and Mr. Gallatin, on which, it is said, the president had signified his approbation of the conduct of the latter; and, it was rumoured, that the former would resign, and be succeeded by his opponent. Government have received dispatches by the Musquito sloop of war from Curacos, announcing that a revolution has been effected in South America, extending from the settlement of Vera Cruz, along the adjacent isthmus, to the southern extremity of the Ca raccas. This important event is said to have been effected by an irrregular force of between 30 and 40,000 men, which, on the 19th of April last, seized all the public functionaries in the capital, and with the utmost secrecy and expedition, but without bloodshed, forced them on board ship, and it was supposed that their destination was for the island of Cuba. A provisional government was next formed, and a proclamation issued, in which the whole. of the inhabitants of the Caraccas declare their independence, and invite the other colonist in energetic terms, to seek protection under the new government. The recent events in Old Spain which induced a belief that the cause of Ferdinand VII. was hopeless, is stated to have led to this revolution, as also a desire to establish a more intimate commercial intercourse with Great Britain than the policy of the mother country permitted.

EARLY in the morning of Thursday, May 31st, a diabolical attempt was made to asCassinate the Duke of Cumberland, while in bed in his apartments in St. James's Palace, by one of his valets or pages, an italian, named Joseph Sellis; but not succeeding in lus purpose, the wretch returned to his own apast ment, and cut his throat with a razor. razor. The circumstances were fully investigated by the privy Council on Thursday; and a coroner's inquest was held on Friday, when the depositions of the witnesses taken before Mr. Justice Read were read, and the witnesses were afterwards called before, and questioned by, the jury: -The |
