of the Establishment, there is in. England)no religious body
to be compared in numbers, in piety, in zeal for the exten-
sion of the Rededmer’s kingdom, with the Wesleyans, “They
possess about eleven'hundred’ ministers, “whose devoted la-
bouts have surrounded then With multitudés ofattached ad-
heretits, full of Christian Tifé and energy, in every city, town,
and village of England... They have been, fo a great extent,
the salt of that'land. And we rejoice to add, the Wesleyans
are the avowed, the cordial, the enlightened defenders of the
principles ,contended:for by the Church of Scotland. The
Watchman, » London journal connected, with their body, and
equally distinguished for talent and Christian principle, has;
for months past, been writing ‘ vigourously and decidedly in
our chureh’s cause,—viewing it as a enuse jidentified withtvi-
tal godliness and religious Jiberty,—and-on,these grounds it
has lately. exhorted. the members of the Wesleyan body to
use their influence, as members of the commonwealth, to
‘further its settlement in the legislature,’ on the principles of
the Duke of Argyll’s bill. At the great meeting held some
time ‘ago in London, to! promote’ this cause, we need not re-
inind our reiders tliat Dr. Bunting, Mr. Beecham, and other
leading’ Wesleyan ministets, took part. And further, to
show the estimate they have formed of the worth and mag-
nitude of the question, they have now given ita place in their
great religious organ, a work which circulates throughout
the -whole-church,. ln the July number of that periodical,
an article on the subject has appeared, from the pen, as we
understand, of its learned and accomplished Editor, which,
for accuracy of statement, breadth sad clearness of compre-
hension, force and conclusiveness of argument, will bear ad-
vyantageously to be compared with most things that have been
written on the subjeet.. Our space will not admit of going
into an analysis of the article to-day, or-of laying extracts be-
fore our readers. In next Guardian we hope to be able to do
so; and meanwhile earnestly recommend the Magazine con-
taining it to the notice of our readers.—Svottish Guardian. ~

The following “Declaration” is published in the Glasgow
papers. Itis followed by a number of signatures, of men
of all parties; syhich fill two columns of the Glasgow Argus,
packed into close paragraphs:—“We, the subscribers, inhabi-
tants of Glasgow and neighbourhood, feel, called upof thus
publicly to declare our disapprobation ofthe recent proceed-
ings of the majority of the General Assembly of the Church
of Scotland, by which they have attempted to depose seyen
Ministers of the Presbytery of Strathbogie, on account of their
having yielded obedience to the law of the land as declared
by the Supreme Civil Courts;°to which all ‘subjects ‘are
bound to submit, both as Christians and members of socicty.
And we, have also.to express our cordial sympathy with these
ministers in the painful position in whicli they haye been, as
We conceive, cruelly and unjustly placed,” :

The Prussian State Gazette mentions, that at two o'clock
in the afternoon of the 10th ult. a violent hurricane eom-
menced blowing at Moscow, which, in less than aquarter of
an hour, stripped the rooffs off 252 houses, and. threw. down
a multitude of chimneys. ‘The roof of the great theatre was
blown into the Petrowskaya-strect. The Riding School, the
Naval Hospital, and the Corivent of ‘the Mpiphany suffered
severely. ‘fhe cross upon the Cathedral of the Virgin of
Kasait was bent double, and that of the Churéh of ‘the’ Ble-
vation of the Cross was thrown down | /

The Journal de Troyes of the 19th of July, states, that ia
violent hurricane visited that town on the 18th, which con-
tinued to rage during seven consecutive hours, and eaused
much destruction. Gardéns were coinpletely laid waste,
fruit trees torn up by the roots, crops of peas, hemp, &c.,
broken down as if. they had been chopped. down with’ an
axe, whilst the temperature of the atmosphere was as cold
as during a day ‘in Deeember. . ;

The Journal de Roven states that the storm of the 18th
July. caused considerable damage in the neighbourhood of
Rouen. Accounts from Blainville Crevon ‘describe ‘the
roads to be covered with large rocks carried down: by the
torrents. Buildings were levelled, and crops of wheat, oats
and hay totally destroyed. Other accounts from'Torves are
not less afflicting. The rivers in that neighbourhood, swol-
len by the late rains, became torrents, and overflowed the
public roads. A vast number of cows, hogs, &c., were
carried away by the stream, and, in fact, the injury sustained
is incalculable,

The Spanish corps which lately revolted at a small gar-

On the 6th of July, Said: Bey, the) grandsontof Mehemet.

(Rosetta). He was accompanied by Sami Bey, the private
secretary ofthe pacha: On her entry into'the harbour the
Rechit fired a salute of 21 guns, whith was returned imme-
diately afterwards by one of the batteries. .She then return-
ed to Silvi Bornou, on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus,

Said Beyavas the bearer of magnificent presents for the
sultan, and for several of the high dignitaries of the empire,
who contributed most to the solution of the Egyptian dif-
ferences. It was genera!ly'believed that the principal object
of his mission Was to‘obiam a reduction in the amount of
tribute.- Said Bey was the bearer of a letter from his father
to the grand vizier, in reply to one addressed'to him by that
functionary with the fast atti. scheriff, respecting -the go-
vernment of Egypt. In this letter Mehemet ‘Ali, after reca-
ules the conditions imposed upon him, declared that

ne would strictly accomplish them all, and conéluded by
making the greatest protests of gratitude and devotedness.

The ‘porte bad addressed a firman to Tayar Pasha, Gover-
nor of Jerusalem, respecting the Jews of Syria and Pales-
tine, in which that pasha is directed to give full and. entire
protection to the Jews, and treat them in ‘every, respect as
he had been ordered to treat the Christians.

At the earnest solicitation: of the’ Ambassadors. of the
Great Powers, the Sultan has ordered the. following four
reforms'to be made in the Administration of Syria :—I. The
Christians of Mount Lebanon, governed by the mir Beschir,
are to have a representatiye'at Constantinople, to report di-
rectly their grievances to the Sultan and the Ambassadors
ot the Christian powers......2, His Holiness the Partriarch of
the Maronite Christians. is to have a. representative at Con-
stantinople charged with similar functions......3. ‘The Christ-
ians of all denominatiozis at Jerusalem, and likewise Jews,
are to be under the, control.of a Governor, charged to pro-
tect themfrom the oppression of the Pachas and insolence
of the Moslems......4. The taxes levied upon the inhabitants
are to be equalised, and Christians ate’ not to bear heavier
financial burthens than Moslems. °
