f A "N \ tli6 formal inlrodaclion to the British monarch by the Russian Ambassador, of prince Uustavus, son and heir of the de posed king of Sweden, The interfer ence of the Russian court in the af fairs of Spain, could not we think, mate rially affect the course of them within, but it might have important consequen ces without her limits, Bernadette has reason to look with some suspicion at the “ gracious reception” of the “ legiti mate” heir of the Sweedish crown in the palace of Pall Mall, under the auspi ces of a Russian Ambassador. The London Morning Chronicle states that the character of the elections in Spain is such as to warrant the best hopes with respect to the issue of the Revolution.

The curiosity of the literary world has been greatly excited in attempting to discover the mysterious Author of R’u- vcrly, the Antiquary, Ivanhoc, and those novels which have followed, and still continue to follow, each other in rapid succession. The unequivocal traces of genius which run throughout the whole —the accurate deleniation of character —the glowing efforts of fancy—the skill in description, in scenery, in habits and manners, combine to render them the curiosities of the age, and their appear ance has driven from the field almost e- verv competitor in that popular and in teresting department of literature. It was not surprising that the magical influ ence of those novels should have set the world on tiptoe to discover the Author; and ft om the deleniation of Scottish cha racter, joined to the many specimens of fine poetry, a simultaneous opinion pre vailed that Walter Scott was the ingeni ous and industrious parent. This opini on was strengthened from the circum stance that Walter Scott had some inter course with the bookseller who publish ed them ; yet he has not remained pas sive under the charge, nor has he pub licly disavowed their authorship—he has simply confined himself to assuran ces that lie did not write them. This has led to another report that his bro ther, Mr. Paymaster Scott, now station ed in Canada, is the writer of these no vels, and some attempts have been made to identify him with these admired works. The fact is, that neither Walter Scott nor Paymaster Scott are entitled to the credit of being their author. Accident, and a variety of corroborating circum stances, has put us in possession of the Writer's name, & of which we do not en tertain a shadow of doubt. The real author of these novels is Dr. GREEN FIELD, formerly a distinguished Pro- lessor in the University of Edinburgh, and first minister of the high church in that city. He was a violent aristocrat, and is a man of such consummate talents that the late Lord Melville (Henry Dun- das) employed him to secure partizans to Pitt's Administration. Such was his influence, that he was looked up to by the party as the pivot upon which all Scottish politics turned. "While thus filling a most important stati on, he committed a crime by which his life became forfeited; but, the council fearing the effect which his execution Would have upon the political objects then agitating, advised him to make his escape—which he did. These are facts which the people of Edinburgh general Jy know. The family of Dr. Greenfield, con sisting of a wife, two sons, and a daugh ter, adopted lUrs. Greenfield’s maiden name, 4. went to reside in some part of Eugtanil. The elilest son had been ap pointed an officer in the army, was kit led in a duel, and the particulars of whicn, wiiti some trilling variations, are to tie touud in tnc Antiquary. About ten years ago Dr. Greenfield was living in a retired manner at a place called Somerstown, near London, and he now resiues near the metropolis. Rut, the strongest proof we have of his connecti on with these novels is, (our informant assures us) his seeing the manuscript of the Antiquary in tlie band writing of Dr. Greenheld, in possession of Ogle, the bookseller, who stated that he had been offered its publication from Green field himself, who acknowledged to him that lie was the author, and intended to pursue the subject through a series of novels. The bookseller, knowing Dr. Greenfield, (though under an assumed name (and fearing the consequences of having any intercourse with him, de clined the publication. Our informant, who is a man of extensive acquaintance, was familiarly known to Dr. Greenfield and Ida family, and well acquainted with his histoiy, his capacity and his labors, and pledges himself that Greenfield is the author of Wavcrly, hanhoe, and all the rest of these novols so much admir ed and so generally read. The only person in England on whom the authorship has been fixed, is Walter Scott—he denies it—why should he de ny that he was the author of those admi rable performances if he really was so ? But it has entirely escaped public recol lection, that the talents of Walter Scott are of a very different order. He has indeed a very pretty and admired turn ^fpr poetry, and has acquired fame and mbpey by his works; but lie does not possess that fertility of invention, that vigorous talent which to truth gives the appearance of fiction, and of fiction to truth, so happily displayed in all the Doctor's novels. He wants also that fertility of mind and copious industry re quisite forgiving them with such rapidi ty to the world. Greenfield is repre sented to us as a Hercules in literature. We have only to read “ Paul's letters to his kinsfolk," which are known to be Scolt's to he convinced that lie never coul.l produce such works. Scott, how- ever, tuay ho acquainted with the author, and unite in the propriety of concealing us name from the world, and at the same time negotiating for their publication, and ‘his policy has had the effect of divert ing the public attention from the real uutlior.

A m™?ern grekk marriage. f rom ir,1 hams' Travels in llaiy, Greece, t,*. \\ e went to the wedding of a Greek holy, daughter of the first physician. As lie ceremony was curious, 1 shall «t- tempt to describe it to you. Cloves and nutmegs wrapped up in a small pur- cel, were left at the house of the Con sul where we lived, and this is the mode of invitation to a wedding at Patras.— 1 he poorer class leave only cloves, nut megs being dear. When we arrived at the door of the court yard, we found the physician’s janissary in waiting in a rich robe of scarlet ; his pistols, of embossed silver, stuck in his silk girdle, were op posed to a vest of blue velvet, trimmed with gold lnce ; his turban, short petti coat and trowsers, were of the purest white, ami his gaiters were of scarlet vel vet embroidered with gold ; his dress, indeed, might have suited a prince. E- verv farthing which these servants re ceive in wages is laid out on clothes, and they try to preserve them well. I’he court before the house was miser able and dirty, and the house itself had a very mean appearance. We ascend ed by a broad ladder, and found the mo ther of the bride, with some other ladies, standing in the entry, but they did not seem to take any part in the ceremony of receiving the visitors. On entering the room where the marriage ceremony was performed, we found the father of the lady , a fine looking old man, dressed in rich robes, with acylendar cap of fur, like a large muff, seated on hi* divan or sofa, which wa» about nine feet broad, and went all round the room, provided with cushions on the back. To this we were conducted, and found ourselves raised about 18 inches from the fioor.— W e squatted down like the Greeks, with oar legs under us, when a handsome ana elegant attendant in robes of blue am! purple stepped forward, and presented each of us with a long pipe, which we smoked. The room was wretchedly furnished ; a few coarse wooden chairs, all different in fashion and size, a wood en clock, a press, three or four luirbe- rou* pictures of the Virgin and Child, and the Apostles, the faces and crowns of glory done in raised till, and the dra pery with paint. Shortly after our arri val, seven or eight priests with long beards entered, dressed in black; a small ricketty table being then brought to the middle of the room, the robes of the priests wrapped up iu bundles, were laid upon it, and opened by the priests. The dresses were different, but all highly ornamented with flowers and’ em broidery. When their ordinary dress was concealed by their canonicals, these ecclesiastics looked pretty well. A large'book was put upon the table, with some wiue in a tumbler, nnd a roll of bread. Then entered the bridegroom, a man about 50, in a pelisse ot’jiale blue and white loose Dutch looking breech es ; his turban as white as snow, and whiskers of a tremeudous size ! Next appeared the lady, about 30 years of age, short and rather pretty. Her hair, which‘was hardly to be discovered thro’ the profusion of golden and gilded orna ments, hung dowu behind, mixed with threads of gold, as low as her haunches Across her forehead was a band, on which were fixed various gold coins.— She wore a dark purple pelisse, edged with fur, under which was a short vest of white silk, richly embroidered ; t zone of silk, with richly embossed clasps like small saucers, encircled tlie lower part of her waist and hung down upon her loins. She looked very shy and modest. Every eye was fixed upon her. Behind her stood her mother holding her up ; the good old lady’s hair was dy ed red, the favorite color of hair in Greece. The ceremony as nearly as I can re collect, Was as follows :....One of the uriests took up some frankincense, which was lighted in a censer ; he then wafted the smoke among his brethren. Two wax candles, lighted, were given to the bride and bridegroom by another priest, which they kissed ; they also kissed his hand ; the candles were then put down, and the same priest read prayers. The rings were then produc ed it placed upon the book, with which the priest advanced and asked the yes- peclive parties if they desired to be mar ried. Upon receiving their answer in the affirmative, he touches their heads three times with their rings, which were de livered to the person who gave away tlie bride. This person (tlie Austrian Con- 1) put them on the linger of each, changing them three times alternately from the bride and bridegroom. Then the description of the marriage of Cana was read in a chauuting tone. Doth seem ed much affected, and 1 thought the poor bride w ould faint. Matrimonial crowns were placed upon their heads, and a more whimsical and ridiculous sight 1 never saw. The crowns were of a conical from, composed of the merest tinsel, gold leaf, and spun glass. They were changed from one head to the other three times : the rings were taken off by tlie priest, and again replaced. While six of"the priests were singing the service, the seventh took up the roll of bread, &c. cut out two small pieces, which he put into the wine. 1 he sacrament was then administered, and prayers and chuunting recommenced.— While this was going on, the bride and the table in the slowest possible manner, looking like condemned criminals and fully as melancholy ns if they had been going to be hanged. At that time smoke from the frankincense was wafted in great profusion among the spectators. When the ceremony was finished, the father kissed his son and daughter, ns likewise did most of their friends. The bride and bridegroom marched off with their pre cious crowns upon their head. They lived together at the lady’s father’s for eight days, at the expiration of which the lady went to her husband’s house in full procession. While walking amidst a multitude of women and children, site was supported by two females.—On her head was a prodigious cushion or pad, stuck full of trumpery flower* made of paper ; her checks, eye-brows and lips were daubed over with gold leaf ; and her hair, interwoven with skeins of brown silk, hung down behind and be fore. She walked very slowly, and, a boy carried a mirror before her, in which she was obliged to look occasional ly, ns a symbol of the regard thenceforth due even to her external carriage nnd conduct. RECORDER. M1LLEDGEVILLE, Tuesday, Al-oust 2!*. fty* Tlie prediction of Lord Liverpool in tlie British House of Lords, that this Repub lie having gained so much by her neutral position during the wars in Europe, by which she made extraordinary advances in Agricul ture, Navigation and Commerce, will now retrogadeani retrace her stepsfor Iurnty years to route, until she stands in the. situation she. then occupied, is rather we hope the offspring of his lordship's fanry, or perhaps of his wish es, than what is likely to he realized. In deed, there cannot we think be n doubt en tertained of the fallacy of this ominous pro phecy. The peculiar situation of the. Uni ted States, so different from that of the po pulous kingdoms of the old world, gives an impulse to industry ami enterprise of which European politicians have no idea. The vast extent of uncultivated fertile lands, inde pendent of superior excellence in the con struction and administration of our govern ment, must ensure to us the rapid increase of population—consequently of agriculture, mid its handmaids navigation and commerce. The loss of the carrying trade of Europe, by the return of peace, unquestionably has affected our navigation and commerce. But the great and general injury sustained by our citizens, was produced by wild specula tions, and still more by a foolish extra vaganco in furniture, dress, and a style of living be yond their income. These indeed have been prolific causes of bankruptcy and individual suffering. They are transitory, however, and the evil in due. time will Work its own cure. The effect on the March of our Republic to greatness, may lie felt, but cannot lie perma nent, nor much retard its progress. The fa cility of procuring subsistence, and the cer tainty of enjoying the fruits of labour under the protection of a free government, are ac knowledged to be best calcinated for promo ting the increase of the human family. A- griculture and not manufactures, is the basis of our prosperity—as the good of the whole, and not the aggrandizement of a few, is the object of our government. In this country, thank Heaven, there are no half-starved ma nufacturers, nor a host of paupers literally in a state of starvation. All who choose to work can find employment of some kind sufficient nt least to furnish abundance of food and clothing. Our citizens are not like the subjects of Britain overwhelmed with taxa tion. We have no kings, nor lords, nor sine cure officers to waste in parade and debau chery the product of the people's labour.— Thus happily situated, our country must and will prosper, notwithstanding the temporary embarrassments that now affect us. These will be removed by economy and industry nnd profiting by experience, may we no hope that our citizens in future will be more prudent and frugal, and will imitate rather the republican simplicity of their ancestors than the prodigality of modern times ? (£7* Circulars have been sent by tlie Cham ber of Commerce of Philadelphia, to the merchants in other towns, in which they state, that “ being impressed with a belief that the contemplated revision and alteration of the system of duties, at the next session of the National Legislature, is one of the most important measures which can be the subject of deliberation by the general go vernment—and alarmed at the efforts which were made during tlie last sessiun of Con gress to establish a new tariff’ founded on principles which they conceive to bchighly injurious both to the Commercial and Agri cultural interests of the Union—they consider it incumbent on them to take the most early and effectual measures to prevent the propo sed alteration.” A meeting has been held at Richmond (Va.) where it was determined to act in concert with the chamber of com mcrcc in Philadelphia ; another meeting at Fredericksburg was held on the 12th instant, and attended by the most intelligent agri culturists and merchants in that part of the Arrator) who is considered the best farmer in Virginia, and onu of the ablest politicians in America. “This distinguished man (says a writer in the Fredericksburg Herald) hav ing understood the object of the meeting a very short time before it was to take place, had prepared a powerful remonstrance to Congress, again** the adoption of the new tariff’, which lie submitted to the inspection of some of his friends, who waited upon him the evening before the assembly convened. This masterly performance was next day presented and explained by that venerable patriot himself, and unanimously approved and adopted, und by order, directed to be printed for immediate circulation, it might be deemed presumptuous, for any who were present, to give a summary, or offer to a- hridge a state paper, coining from the hand of John Taylor, of Caroline, replete with the acuteness of a casuist, and the energy of u republican. It may, however, be said, that in tlie argument of tins memorial the author maintains that the proposed tariff, if not dangerous to the stability nnd integrity of the union, is at any rule ruinous to the re venue ; in its principle, unjust; and, iu its effects, impoverishing and oppressive.” That the proposed tariff, if adopted, will do incalculable injury to the agricultural part of the community—that its operation will ensure fortunes to the manufacturers at the expence of all otherclasses of society, uppears to admit of little doubt At the. last session of Congress, it will be remembered, they bad a majority in the House of Representa tives, and lost their bill by one vote only in tlie Senate. At the approaching session, stimulated by the prospect of success,their exertions will be redoubled. Although every part of the couutry should feel a deep inter est in this subject, there is nunc so much af fected by it as the Southern States. Let us tlitm raise our voices in remonstrance against the unjust and Oppressive measure, that our silence may not he mistaken for acquiescence. Meetings of our citizens should be held in every section of the state, to express an opi nion Oil this momentous question. The tna- nufaclurere will again loud the tables ofCou- ress with their petitions—let them he op posed by energetic remonstrances. We have, been at some pains to as certain the true stale of the Not in Cotton in this neighborhood, und find, that in some fields, there is not one boll in fifty rotten, while in others it is nearly as bad as we have ever seen it. On the whole, we think tlie crop will be a good one. Where tlie land lias been long cultivated, and is much ex hausted, the disease appears to lie most pre valent. D ..„ 0 T _, . country.

Lord Liverpool said be should net de ceive the House, if when their table was load ed with petitions from tiie mercantile, the agricultural, and the manufacturing interest, lie stioulu declare tiiai the interest of liie fo reign trade was alone important. He there fore felt it right, in justice to lnmsbd'te. those with whom he acted, to slate why ne hud not proposed some more general enquiry.— It was as material to decide whatthey would not do us what they would do : for it was quite certain that the country would never settle into tranquility whilst the minds of men were kept afloat; as they Were ut pre sent upon this subject. He was most anxious to trauquilize the public mind upon it ; und iu order to do so, lie vvus ready to lay every document officially before the House or a Committee, if a committee should be tho’l necessary, which might be requisite. First, however, he must cuil upon the House to consider what the internal' state of the Coun try vvus ; and iu doing so, they would be a- ble to see whether the distress had grown out of a diminution of our internal consump tion or not.—The Noble Lord thou made a comparison between the numbers of pounds of tea, coffee, tobacco, malt, and of gallons of British spirits, which had been consumed in tue present year, and the average number of those consumed in tile three precedingyearsl In all these commodities, except the last, lie sta.c.d that there was an increase of con sumption, and t.iat the diminution in the latter had been compensated by more than a proportional increase in the consumption of foreign spirits. He would first take the ar ticle often, which, next to bread, was an ar ticle of most general use. The fairest way would he to take the average consumption of the Just three years, and compare it with the quantity consumed this year. Taking then the years lit 17, 18, and 19, he found the a- veruge consumption to lie 21,650,870 lbs.— The consumption from the 5th of April, 1819, to the 5th of April 1820, was 2 2,332,- 117 lbs. making no inconsiderable increase in the present year. In the article of coffee, he found that the average consumption for the last three years was 7,523,583 lbs. Til consumption of the year ending 5th April, 1820, was 7,358,856 lbs. making a small di munition as compared with the average of the previous three years. The average con sumption of tobacco during the last 3 years, was 11,967,711 lbs.; that of the year end ing the 5th April, was 11,175,917 lbs. leaving a deficiency of 791,791 Ihs. tins year. The average consumption of malt during the same period was 22,130,273 Ihs. that of last year 23,971,387 Ihs. giving an increase of con sumption last year of 1,8 11,100 Ills. The a- verage consumption of English, Scotch, and Irish spirit* during tlie last three years, tak- _ the official value, was 5,173,753/. ; that of last year was 4,801,937/. being u diminu tion of more than 800,000/. But the forego ing diminution was more than compensa ted by the extra importation ol’ foreign spi rits last year. From these accounts, in which there could be no fallacy, it was clear, lie said, no diminution of the articles of domes tic consumption had taken place, hut, on the contrary, an increase. Hetiad followed this calculation in the common articles of life, to which no regular return had been made out —in butter, in salt, in bricks, iu tiles, &c. and had found the result to he the same. This was satisfactory, because it showed that whatever might he tlie inlluence of local dis tress, there was the same general consump tion as there was before it bad fallen upon tlie country. lie next adverted to the state of the foreign trade, as regarded British ma nufacture and produce. He now came to another part of the question, uuincly, our foreign trade, nnd particularly that In British manufactures. Here he admitted there, was a considerable falling off. The declared vul- ue of British nml Irish manufactures export ed in 1818, was 48,503,766/. In 1819 it was 37,939,506/. leaving a defiency of 11,594,134/. Hut it should be recollected, however, that the. proceeding year was one of great trading effort; it would therefore be better to take the average of the years 1816,’17, and 10. The average export trade of those three years was 45,101,756/.; leaving a deficiency of 7,3116,000/ as compared with last year. This was doubtless a very gruat falling off; but before they entered into any enquiry into the cause of it, It was material to look to what the trade of tlie country was antece dent to the last war, nnd uIho at the periods of that war, when we were in the most flourishing state. In the year 1792, one of our greatest years of trade before the war, our exports amounted iu value to 24,905,200/ —In tlie following years tlicy were as fol low* 1 ffOfl - - - - f25,000,000 1807 - - - - 27,000,000 1808 .... SS, 100,000 1809 - : - - 26,000,000 1810 - 1 - - 35,000,000 1811 - - - - 54,940,000 These were the years of tlie war in which our commerce had risen to its greatest ex tent. It was true that tlie average he' hud taken was deficient near 11,000,000/. during the lust year, but still our exports were near ly as great now as they were during the most nourishing years of the war. It next liecamc necessary to inquire in what branch of our trade a falli g off’ had Liken place; some decrease in our European trade had un doubtedly taken place, but not to any con siderable extent. That deficiency did not, on Htiy average of three years, exceed 1,200, 000/—One article on which our exports had diminished was the refined sugar. Since the ports of the Brazils had been opened to other porters in common with us they supplied themselves with that article. A falling off had also taken place last year In our contin ental trade to tile amount of 600,000/.; hut with Ireland our trade was increasing. The Noble Marquis had allmh-d to our relations with India, hut if he would consider the real causes of our distress, he would find them to be the glut of the India market und tin- ful tiug off of our trade with America. The Noble Lord proceeded to detail the falling off which had taken place in our exports to America, of cottons, glass, w oollens, cutlery, hardware, tee. making, upon an average of three years, a deficiency of 3,I00,0U0/. annu ally. ' The Noble Marquis admitted that distress was not wholly confined to this couu try. He (Lord Liverpool) went further.— lie said that, it pervaded the whole of Eu rope, nor did it stop there; it extended it self, and was no where more severely felt than it was at present in the United Stales of America; and lie would therefore ask those who ascribed the present stagnation of our trade to the effects of taxation, tythes and poor-rates, which lie was free to confess must produce some effect, to compare the national debt of America with its revenue, and then to pause before they ascribed our distress to such causes as those to which he had alluded—The cause of the suffering now felt in America was quite evident ; there wtis no mystery in it; every one might see it, it was this—that whilst Europe had been u1 war for 20 years, out of the last 25 years A- merica had only been at war for two years —Hence she felt the effects of tlie war; but how did she feel them ? Why, she became the principal neutral power during the great er part of that period; nay, at one time she was the only neutral power—She supplied this country with articles from the continent which it could procure no where else, and thus had increased iu wealth, in agriculture, in navigation, in commerce, and in every o ther national resource, more than any other nation had ever done in the same period.— She had made in those twenty years a pro gress that under other circumstune.es she could not have made in 50, no, nor in 80 years. Now however wiien the arts of peace Ind begun once more to flourish in Europe, America felt the effect, not of her former distress, hut of her former prosperity. Sli was now retrograding, and must retrace tlie immense strides which she had made in die last twenty years, until she stood in die situ ilion which she then occupied. Me aur Mur.-Tt is annotfered In the pa pers, that the Governor of Canada has lately visited and inspected She posts of Chambly, St. Johns, and the Isleaux Nolg. At the latter place we learn the British are expend ing large sums of money in erecting exten sive and strong fortresses. It Is difficult to comprehend the policy uf this measuiw, or to see the utility of such fortifications either in peace or war. As the Canadas, ** well aa the mother country, manifest a perfectly pa cific disposition towards the U.
