tage the appreciation of their interest in the public lands, consequent upon emigration, can afford no adequate compensation. It appearing then perfectly clear to your committee, that emigration is exclusively advantageous to the new states, whose population, wealth and power, are thereby increased, at the expense of those states which the emigrants abandon, the inducement to emigration furnished by the appropriation of public lands for the purposes of education in the west, instead of afford. ing a reason for confining such appropriations to that quarter of the union, offers the most weighty considerations, of both justice and policy, in favor of extending them to the states which have not yet obtained them.

London papers of the 29th of June.

GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND.

The coronation, and the ridiculous preparations for it, nearly occupies the English papers. The mummery of the affair has been spoken of very freely by some persons in parliament. The queen has claimed a right to be crowned also, or at least to have a seat furnished from which she may witness the ceremony. Mad. Catalini was to assist in it.

A late London paper says-We have been told, that seven Brahmins are on their voyage to England in the ship "Good Intent," with a plan for converting the English bishops to Brahminism,

On the contrary, they sincerely desire the advancement of their brethren in that quarter of the union, in every thing that can strengthen, dignify, and embellish If the poor Brahmins are to judge of the Enpolitical communities. But, while they entertainglish bishops by the English administrations in Inthese sentiments, they cannot shut their eyes to the political preponderance which must ultimately be the inevitable result of the superior advantages of education there, and they must, therefore, ardently desire that the same advantages be extended to the people of the Atlantic states.

For the purpose, therefore, of drawing the attention of the national legislature to this important subject, and of obtaining the co-operation of the other states, your committee beg leave to recommend the adoption of the following resolutions:

Resolved by the general assembly of Maryland, That each of the United States has an equal right to participate in the benefit of the public lands, the common property of the union.

Resolved, That the states in whose favor congress have not made appropriations of land for the purposes of education, are entitled to such appropriations as will correspond, in a just proportion, with those heretofore made in favor of the other states. Resolved, That his excellency the governor be requested to transmit copies of the foregoing report and resolutions to each of our senators and representatives in congress, with a request that they will lay the same before their respective houses, and use their endeavors to procure the passage of an act to carry into effect the just principles therein set forth.

Resolved, That his excellency the governor be also requested to transmit copies of the said report and resolutions to the governors of the several -states of the union, with a request that they will

The duke of York was, it seems, one of the most fortunate betters at the late Epsom meeting; his royal highness having netted at least 60007. on the turf. As he gets his money for doing nothing, he may well venture the loss of it.

Cardinal Luzerne, aged 86, lately died at Paris. The commissioner charged by the chamber of deputies with the examination of the projet de loi upon the liberty of the press, has rejected the censorship! an event that is said to have thrown the ministry into consternation.

It is stated that a sullen ferment prevails in Italy, and that party spirit daily increases. The Austrian general has determined, with the consent of the legitimate Ferdinand, to send a corps of troops into Sicily, to re-establish tranquility at the point of the bayonet.

AUSTRIA.

The emperor of Austria on the 9th of June, received a deputation of certain provincial states, to, congratulate him on his having re-established peace and tranquility in Italy, and on his having overthrown faction and restored legitimate power. In a long answer which he returned, the following → is the most remarkable passage.

There are accounts from Constantinople of the 25th May. The city had been somewhat more tran-reckoned at about ten millions, viz. 3,500,000 quil, and murders and plunderings were not quite so frequent. In consequence of the Greeks having cut off the supplies from the Archipelago, all the vessels loaded with grain, from the Black sea, had been stopped, and a price set upon their cargoes by the Turkish government.

The temple of the Lord, treated like an ignoble place; his vessels of glory dragged in the mire, (1 Mach. ii. 8, 9,) are about to be avenged. The ancient mercies of the Lord are about to descend upon his people.

BRAZIL.

Between the 25th of January and the 9th of April last, eight vessels arrived at Bahia from the coast of Africa with 2056 slaves--the number murdered on the passage of these ships was only 416; much less than the average, which is about one-third.

SOUTH AMERICA.

By advices from Lima, up to the 10th of March, it appears that St. Martin's chance of success was slender, indeed--the troops of the line at that place being given at 10,000 men, besides the local force It is added that he consisting of 4 or 5000 more. was "roughly handled" at Gancha, his own headquarters, by the royal troops; and that an immensely valuable ship from Calcutta, belonging to the Phi lippine company, had entered the harbor notwithstanding lord Cochrane's blockade. The same articles hint at the probability of a counter-revolution in Chili, in favor of the Spanish constitution, as being highly probable, &c. It is most likely that these are "royal" accounts.

A severe battle appears to have been fought in the province of La Plata, between the governor of Buenos Ayres and gen. Almeira, in which the latter was totally defeated, with the loss of 300 men killed, wounded, &c. after which the remainder of his army dispersed This shews the continuation of the civil war. Having just now no foreign enemy to dread, the people of these provinces appear to be distract ed by rivals pretending to power.

The fight at Carabobo, between Bolivar and La Torre, appears to have been decisive. The royal army, of about 4000 men, seems to have been nearly all killed, wounded, made prisoners or dispersed. Previous to this battle the royal forces in Veneit-zuela, &c. were given at an aggregate of 9,285 men,. "all told." The general belief now is, that the war in that country is at an end.

A Vienna article, of June 4, says "Letters from Warren state that the American squadron has.com. mitted hostilities against some Turkish ships! It is asserted that the presence of the naval force of America has greatly aided the cause of the Greeks in the Archipelago. The Americans evinced their joy at the emancipation of the Greeks by salutes of artillery."

There are accounts, by way of Hamburg, that the Turkish forces entered Bucharest, the capital of Wallachia, on the 28th of May, and conducted themselves with great propriety towards the inha bitants-that Ypsilanti had, "with difficulty, escap. ed"-that the greatest disorder prevailed among the Greeks, and that it was supposed they would not venture a battle with the Turks in the open

It is beautiful work for young ladies, and the time, perhaps, is near when they will take the same pride in displaying a bonnet made with their own hands as they now do in exhibiting their skill with the needle. The import of common straw hats and bonnets has long been prohibited by the superior industry, skill and taste of those engaged in the home manufacture, in Massachusetts, Connecticut, &c. Premiums for the best specimens, as high as 208 for a single bonnet, are offered by some of the agricultural societies in New-York..

Shocking. A little girl, about 8 years old, with her brother, aged between 3 and 4, were lately looking out of a second story window, at Philadel phia.

The directors of a bank that would have thought of making a dividend of profits without paying the debts of the institution, would have been annihilated, by the mere force of the public indignation, ten years ago, and especially in high-minded Kentucky: but now, it is fashionable, and that is enough.
