The Comforts of an Inn.
A gentleman, whose veracity may be
depended upon, slept, or rather should
have slept, at the York Motel, in the city
of York, one morning in the month of
May, 1822. (farting been engaged with
a party ol friends, he djdnot retire till
midnight, an hoar, which in that place is
not considered untimely. Having taken
his place _cy the Highflier, Sheffield
,Coach, winch left Vonk at half past eight
the next morning, he gave express orders
to be called at half past seven. Hiviirt
no dread of evil spirits, he straightway
composed himself; but his rest was of
short duration, for at one o’clock he was
roused by a knocking at the ddor. “Who’s
there ’’’ said the sleepy traveller, “ Pray,
*«V aonU i/ou go by the mail .?»_« N 0 (
go by the Highflier.— “ Beg your pardon,
"*’■» u * another gentleman."— This un
welcome visitor robbed him «f another
I
, half hour’* repose; but after many twist-]
i logs, he slumbered again. Scarcely had
1 Morpheus taken him into his service, ere
1 a second voice saluted his ear. “ Two
X o'clock, Sir, the Express will be off in half
f an hour." “ What have I to do with.the
Express ? I wish you would express your
self elsewhere.” “ Laws, Sir, why I
was tow'd at how you went by the Ex
: press." “ I told your master 1 was to go
by the Highflier, and I hope I shall hear
no more of you till half past seven.” “/
dx your pardon, Sir." Again he tumbled
and tossed, and again he became subject
to the son of Erebus; but, like poor Mon
sieur Tonson, he was doomed to be haunt
ed, At half past three he heard a loud
thundering at the door: “ Sir, I've brong
your boots, you mun be irp in d fiomcnl,
the Coach is at the, door." Out bounced
the astonished guest, and quickly rejoin
ed, “ Why did you not speak before ? I
have had trouble enough with one or the
other of you. Why did your master say
thi coach went at half past eight? Bless
me Sir, it it you that goes by the Highflier?
they tow'd me at how you went by the Nti
tan. Beg your pardon, Sir, cun sure."
In any place but York this would have
been the last customer, but the fates had
conspired. At five he hears another
knocking, and his patience being exhaust
ed, he exclaims, “What the d do
you want? A faultering female replies,
“ Don't you go by the-Highflier, Sir /
“To be sure 1 do.” “ Well, Sir , I'll be
sure to call you at half past seven." Half
past seven arrived,. aocj the gentleman
made his appearance amidst a numerous
assemblage of menials, all laden with pe
titions and apologies :—“ Please to remem
ber the Curler ” —“ Please to remember
the waiter, Sir," —“ Remember the boots,
Sir."—Remember me, Sir, if you please.
I'm the chamber-maid, I called yon Sir."
Omues. “ I peg pardon, for disturbing
you." —“Yes, I’ll pardon you, and re
memVcr you too, when I am many miles
hence,” “ Rut don't yon mean to gee iis
nothing, Sir." “ Yes, Ido mean to give
you nothing ; and I’ll remember you all
as long as I live, you may rely upon it.”

NEW-VOilK, SEPT. 6.
Latest from Eurvpe.
By the arrival of the packet ship
William Thompson from Liverpool,
the Editor of the American has re
ceived his regular files of English pa
pers, containing London dates to the
31st of July, and Liverpool to the 2d
of August, from which he is enabled
to present the following summary of
European news :
GREAT BRITAIN.
The British Parliament continued
in session, and on the 25th of July a
report of the committee on the an
cient histories of England was pre
sented to the House of Commons, and
agreed to; pursuant to which the fol
lowing resolutions (which every
friend to literature will rejoice to
learn) were adopted:
“ That an humble address lie pre
sented to his Majesty, to represent to
his Majesty that the editions of the
works of our ancient historians are in
correct and defective ; that many of
their writings still remain in manu
script, and in some cases jn a single
copy only; and that an uniform and
convenient edition of the whole, pub
lished under his Majesty’s royal sanc
tion, would be an undertaking honor
able to his Majesty’s reign, and con
ducive to the advancement of histori
cal and constitutional knowledge.
“ That this House, therefore,Tutm
bly beseeches his Majesty that he
would be graciously pleased to give
such directions as his Majesty in his
wisdom may think fit, for the publica
tion of a completete edition of the an
cient historians of this realm.
“ And that this House begs leave
to assure his majest}', that whatever
expense may be necessary for this
purpose will be made good by this
House.”
Ihe Canada Trade lill (after a
number of riders had bee* proposed
by Mr. VVilmot, and added) was read
a third time on the 26th, and passed
in the House of Commons.
, V r ’ the author of the
\ oice Irom St. Helena, 1 , has been
brought belore the judicial authorities
to answer for a flagellatiot which he
administered to Mr. Wr . Walters,
mistaking him for his nam isake, (the
Editor of the Times.) The Dr.
was accompanied by Counsellor
Phillips, who made aver appropri
ate speech on the occasion well spic
ed with apology, to wbicl Mr. Wal
ter replied, and assured Sir R. Bir
nie, the magistrate, that ais primary
object was, that a proper apology
should appear in the newspapers,
and assented to a reference to friends.
1 his arrangement was consented to
by the magistrate; hut,!at the same
time, he required Dr. O’Meara to en
ter into a recognizance to keep the
peace, in relation to Mr. John Wal
ters (the Editor) which was agreed
to.
Ila newspaper apology is a suffi
cient satisfaction for so sound a drub
bing, it is a quid pro ynothat may be
very convenient to Editors, even iflt is
not supported by precedents in its fa
vour. With every respect, however,
for the moderation of Mr. Walters,
it is difficult to conceive how the
Doctor could have rendered r^tribu
1 tive justice, without haying made a
' profert of bis own back in return.
1 In Ireland, the same scenes of dis
r tress which has been from time to
i time depicted and deplored, continue
■ to prevail. Subscriptions are yet u
r beral but inadequate to the combined
exigencies of fever and starvation.
I FRANCE,
r The Debates in the Chamber of
1 Deputies appear to be attended with
as little moderation or decorum as
ever. A discussion was renewed on
Monday the 22d of Juty, on the dis
missal of an advocate by the name of
Le Compte charged with participat
ing in an act of forgery, when the fol
lowing animated dialogue took place:
« President. —It is not proper to
recal what has been said in a preced
ing debate. The question is, if the
prnces verbal be exact or not. If it
be exact, then nothing remains but to
adopt.
“ A voice on the left — < excellent
justice this!’
“ The Keeper of the Seals. —For
the honour and even the interests of
his Majesty’s Ministers, I entreat the
Chamber to hear M- C. Perrier.
“M. C. Perrier.—A citizen has
been disgracefully calumniated, you
should hear his justification. He
then left the tribune.
“ President.—M. C. Perrier, what
do you desire ?
“ A voice on the right —J Scandal.’
(A laugh.)
&M. Dudon—By the arret of
the Cour Royale of Paris, it appears
(that this individual was implicated.)
“ M. C. Perrier (violently)—No,
no—he was a w itness.
“ M. Dudon—Here is the arret.
“■ M. de Girardin—Toll us the
year.
“ M. Dudon (preparing to read)
—Considering that the—
“ Twenty Members rose at once
on the left side, and exclaimed—
“ Come tell us the year; the year.”
“M. Dudon (with the greatest
calmness')—Considering that the—
“ M. Girardin (striking the bench)
—The year—the year—
“ M. Foy.—What, do you not
know the date ?
“M. Jeypiere.—lf you do not tell
us the date, we must take it to be a
forged arret.
“ After some discussion, the ques
tion was put that the phrase should be
suppressed, and negatived.
“M.Bignon.—Men, you have con
secrated a lie.
“ M. Foy.—An odious lie, a fright
ful, an infamous lie.
“ M. C. Perrier.—lt is a moral as
sassination.”
On Friday, the 26th, another an
gry and tumultuous debate took place
in the same chamber, on a proposed
grant for sciences, belles lettres, fine
arts, and the theatres royal, which
1 finally passed. The seeds of dis
cord are evidently and thickly sown
in this kingdom.—Should a general
• revolution take place in Europe, they
1 will doubtless spring into life, with
■ vigour, if not with verdure.
r , ■ ■ ■ SPAIN.
No events have transpired in this
i kingdom that materially vary its po
f litical relations. Every, day deve
• lopes the secret understanding be
■ tween Ferdinand and the Holy Al
liance, and that the former, during
the late disturbances, was bent upon
• re-establishing, notwithstanding his
pretensions, the unlimited power of
his crown, and the unhallowed ty
ranny of the spiritual inquisition.
T he London Courier (ministerial) of
; the 30th of July says—
“ News which reached us to-day
from the Spanish frontier announce
that Madrid is in the power of the
royalists, and that the King is rescu
ed from the hands of the Jacobins.
“ A private letter states that Gen.
Morillo pm himself at the head of
the royalist parly, and completely
defeated that of the liberals. Every
where the emblems called constitu
tional are destroyed, and nothing is
heard but the cry of “ Viva cl Rev
neto.”
The term Jacobiiis indicates with
sufficient precision the character with
which it is intended to brand the con
stitutional party, and the statement
that Morillo has united himself to
the friends of arbitrary power can
not strike those with surprize who
have witnessed his efforts in endea
vouring to suppress the progress of
freedom in South America.
1 lie affairs of Russia, Greece and
Turkey, which for many months
past have been so far connected as to
cause a separate review of them to
contribute rather to confusion than
clearness, possess the same relative
positions as the previous arrivals have
exhibited.
Advices have been received from
Constantinople, dated the 26th of
June, stating that three Greek fire
ships approached the Turkish fleet
on the 22d—came close to the Ad
miral s ship, and fired it—destroyed
(he Captain Pacha, and dispersed
the armament. Cara Mehmct is said
to have been appointed successor to
the Captain Pacha by thd Porte-
There has nothing appeared from the
present arrival which shows that the
Russian Cabinet is disposed to swerve
from that selfish policy which is cal
culated to consign the Greeks to a h
disgraceftil and cruel slavery, -of t
which a Barbadoes negro-driver
would blush to be the instrument.
Liverpool, August, 2.
A good Aim, and a steady Mark.
A few days ago, in consequence
of a trifling wager, the following oc
currence took place, which certainly i
rivals the celebrated feat of William
Tell. In a yard, within a short dis
tance from our office, a professional
gentleman, of this town, stood with a
tumbler glass on his bare head, and j
with his face to another individual, aj
tradesman, who at the distance of
twelve yards, discharged a bullet
from a cross-bow, at the glass, and
broke it to atoms, without injuring, (
in the slightest degree the mortal tar-,
get, which bore it. Our readers may
depend upon the truth of this state
ment ; but we know not which they
will deem to be the greatest—the
, skill of one of the parties, the nerve
• of the other, or the folly of both.
Theatre Royal. —On Tuesday &
Wednesday evening last, our Thea
tres were crowded to excess, by
audiences of Mr. Mathews. His
“ Youthful days” were received with ■
delight and “ applauded to the echo.”)
On the latter evening he delivered a
neat and affectionate farewell address. I
Yesterday morning was the time ap
pointed for the sailing of the William
• Thompson, the beautiful packet-ship
in which Mr. Mathews has engaged
his passage to New-York, but a strong
head wind delayed the departure of
the vessel till this morning. The
weather is now tine, and before this
paragraph reaches the eyes of many
of our readers, the worthy and tal
t ented comedian will have left his na
tive shore, with the intention of light
, ning the hearts (and we know he will
lighten the pockets) of our trans-at
i lantic brethren. May fame, fortune,
t and health attend him ; and may we
soon again be gratified by seeing him
v “at home.”
Mr. Greene, the aeronaut, with
t Mr. Griffiths, of the Cheltenham
Chronicle office, ascended from Chel-
I tenham, on Tuesday last, in fine style.
t After being half an hour in the track
less space, they alighted near Lord
. Sherbone’s park.
, A seaman, it is said, wished to be
come a branch pilot from the Downs
.to Spilhead; being, among other
questions while under examination at
. Trinity House, asked—“ When the
Owcrs Light is north of you, where is
. Chichester Church ?” meaning how
did it bear by the compass, replied—*
, “ In Chichester Church yard, most
. certainly, gentlemen.”
: The Albion. —On Saturday, the
i 23d inst. the body of Mr. William
. Proctor, one of the unfortunate suf
i ferers on board this vessel, was found
I by some fishermen, floating about
■ two league* off the Old Head ofKin
i sale. It exhibited no appearance of
decay, and appeared perfectly fresh,
but when brought to land it soon
i changed for the worse. The identi
■ ty was ascertained by some papers
• and the cards of this unfortunate gen
- tleman, which were found in the
- pocket ; and what is surprising,
I though the body remained for up
i wards of three months in the water,
i these papers were found very little
f injured. There were also found in
• one of the pockets, one sovereign, a
. small piece of gold, and a small case
f with a lock of hair tied op in it. On
hearing the circumstance, Mr. Gib
bons, the respectable agent at Lloyd’s,
■ immediately proceeded to the spot,
i and had the body decently interred.

r From Vera Cruz.
1 o the politeness of a friend, we
are indebted for the perusal of some
• Vera Cruz newspapers to the Ist
i August inclusive. They are filled,
' after the approved fashion in like ca
ses, equally among blacks and whites,
i with an account of the coronation ot
i their Imperial Majesties of Mexico,
• and with lists of the persons who are
; to compose henceforth the imperial
i household. Wejfind no title omitted
to which we are accustomed in the
annals of older courts, and chamber
' tains,confessors, majordomos, guards
lords and ladies of honour, swarm at
Mexico as elsewhere. Augustin the
Ist has also instituted an order ,of
knighthood, called the “ Imperial ’Pr
der of Guadeloupe,” of which be
himself is grand master, and the prin
ces, yea, princes of his family, are
grand crosses. We find too a decree
of the Congress regulating the future
coinage of the empire, which is to
bear on one side the impress of the
Emperor, with the legend of u Au
gustinus Dei Procidentia ” and on
the other the national arms, a crown
ed eagle just taking its flight, with
this continuation of the legend,
“ Mexici primus Imperator Const!-
tutionftlis.” Thus we see that the
follies of which the old world is be
cojffiig sick, are about to take root
(for a time only we hope) in the new-
It is no inappropriate conclusion of <
