Miguel professes to respect, and acknowledges that he cannot assume the regal title until the three estates of the kingdom, assembled according to ancient form, have sanctioned his accession to the throne. He has, without waiting for this formula, dropped the style and title of Don Pedro, and issues all orders in his own name and by his own authority. The One circumstance has cast a shade of gloom over all the rejoicings which have been artfully interwoven with the measures of government. ambassadors resident at the Court of Lisbon, have unanimously represented that they consider their functions suspended, till they receive fresh instructions from their respective courts as to the line of conduct which they are to adopt. These events, as must be expected, have severely wounded public credit, and increased the depression which previously affected the finances. Bank stock, which was at par when Don Miguel arrived there, has fallen to twenty-five per cent. discount, and that a nominal price only, as none were found to purchase. TURKEY AND HER RELATIONS.-The Sultan has had recourse to the most energetic measures to recruit his treasury. The strictest economy has been introduced into every department of the Seraglio. The late treasurer has been superseded, and is charged with having been too lavish of the imperial revenue. All the black eunuchs, and these usually occupy the most lucrative posts, have been compelled to relinquish all their property. Similar confiscations have been freely exercised on all the dependants of the Sublime Porte. The sum of forty millions of dollars has been raised by these exactions. Constantinople has remained quiet, and the Greeks have been permitted to follow their occupations without any unusual oppression or interruption. Great exertions continue to be made to complete the preparations for the ensuing campaign, which now appears to be inevitable. The grand Turkish army continues to assemble in the environs of Adrianople, and its first active services are expected to be the defence of the banks of the Danube. It seems tolerably certain that the Turks will not commence VOL. X. NO. VI. their campaign to the north of that river. Another army is forming in the neighbourhood of Erzenum, to oppose the Russian forces lately engaged against Persia, but which, since the peace with that power, are preparing to enter the eastern borders of the Turkish empire. A third and smaller army is assembling on the confines of Bosnia, to act on the flank of the Muscovites, should they pass the Danube. The Russian army is reported to have passed the Pruth on the fourth of May, and to have entered Jassy, without opposition, on the seventh. It is stated to amount to three hundred thousand men of all arms, of which sixty thousand are cavalry. The emperor's baggage has been sent from Petersburg sometime since, and it is probable that he has now taken upon himself the personal command of his army. These movements are anxiously viewed by the Courts of Vienna and Berlin; the latter has added sixty-five thousand men to her military establishment, and the former continues to march troops towards the frontiers of Turkey, where a force is already assembled sufficiently numerous to excite apprehensions in, at least, one of the Belligerents. Ibrahim Pacha has not quitted Greece-obliged to cease from military operations, he has employed his followers in razing some of the captured Greek fortresses. Letters from Alexandria speak very positively of the embarkation of fresh forces to join him in Greece. CHINA. The Mussulman rebellion, which has so long harassed the interior provinces of China, may be considered as suppressed. The rebels are stated to have been defeated three times successively, and within a very short space of each other. Their loss is said to have been above one hundred and ten thousand men. Thirteen of their leaders, who had been taken prisoners, have been executed. BRAZIL AND BUENOS AYRES.-The armistice, which was lately agreed upon between these hostile powers, will, probably, terminate in a peace. The Banda Oriental, the subject of contention, will be established as an independent State. 3 G The Right Rev. George, Lord Bishop of Rochester, and Dean of Worcester, has been instituted by the Lord Bishop of that Diocese, to the Vicarage of Bromsgrove, with the Chapel of King's Norton annexed, in that county and diocese, on the presentation of the Dean and Chapter of Worcester.

I.-Hulsean Lectures for 1827. On the Proofs of the Divine Power and Wisdom derived from the Study of Astronomy: and on the Evidence, Doctrines, and Precepts of Revealed Religion. By the Rev. TEMPLE CHEVALLIER, M.A. late Fellow and Tutor of Catharine Hall. Cambridge: Deightons. London: Rivingtons. 1827. pp. 408. 12s. WE E naturally expected something peculiarly interesting, on reading the title of this new volume of Hulsean Lectures. And if we have been disappointed, the fault does not rest with us. Such disappointments are as old as the nativity of Horace-" Parturiunt montes," &c. We know not whether the singular division of subjects in this volume arose from want of ingenuity to discover, or want of inclination to employ, more connected arguments: but, assuredly, the variety of matters treated of seems to imply a sort of weariness in the task undertaken by the author-a weariness, by the way, especially unsatisfactory after the diligence of his predecessors in the office, who have set an example which all future lecturers will do well to follow. They complained, and justly, of the labour assigned them; and our present author, according to the fashion in such cases, echoeth their complaints: but, with all deference to him be it spoken, we think, with the exception of the first four, and two subsequent ones, these lectures are exceedingly well paid for, and we should have no objection to write a much better set at a much less price than the salary of the office affords. Indeed, so inferior is the greater part of the volume to what it ought to be, that we shall pass over the miscellaneous discourses as unworthy of further notice, than the passing compliment that the author ought to gain through them the rank of junior optime in the Hulsean tripos. He has given by them a minimum of satisfaction for a maximum of expectation. Proceed we now with our purpose. "The nineteenth Psalm has been adopted as the model for the arrangement of the first twelve lectures. The first four treat of some of the more obvious proofs of the Divine Power and Wisdom, suggested by the study of Astronomy"-a subject, splendid in itself, |
