The Angouleme faction still continues to misgovern France with a fury of despotism, which can scarcely fail to lead to a violent general re-action. It seems that the recorded experience of ages, and the inevitable fate of all tyrannies, have not a greater practical influence on the unbridled passions of modern statesmen, than they have on vulgar culprits, who are daily led to execution from a similar disregard of all salutary warning. The restraints on the press, and the barsh and illiberal policy of the ruling administration, having, as might be expected, forced many over-zealous patriots into premature conspiracies, France has seen tribunals in simultaneous action scattered over its territory, to try these ill-fated individuals. Several have been found guilty, and, as clemency is not the order of the day, their unrelenting execution has followed, or will follow, of course. Others, who were at the same time convicted of being accessories, have been sentenced to terms of imprisonment which little accord with the spirit of an enlightened age. In short, the unmitigated fate of these victims of their own indiscreet zeal, has excited the sympathies of generous minds throughout France and all Europe, and has greatly injured the cause of legitimacy, which their sacrifice has been intended to support. But the most unreasonable exertion of a malevolent spirit is that which has been directed against the four patriotic journals of Paris, for daring to participate publicly in the unavoidable sympathies of millions. The responsible proprietors have, by a summary process, been adjudged to various imprisonments, subjected to heavy fines, and arbitrarily prohibited for a term to publish any reports of proceedings in courts of law! Even this did not suffice to satisfy the ruling faction; for, having within a few days published a letter of that distinguished patriot and philosopher, M. Benjamin Constant, their papers were seized, and the writer himself, for repelling a judicial calumny, has been prosecuted. The ill blood which these measures, and a thousand other vexations, has engendered in France, will not he appeased till satisfaction has been obtained for the past, and better security than royal promises granted for correct conduct in future. France, in a word, is become a great prison, in which not only foreigners are subjected to the irksome regime of passports to move, and permits to reside; but Frenchmen of all ranks are subjected to the constant surveillance of the police, and to such during the contest of parties in the an inquisition as necessarily existed march of the late revolution, when foreign influence supported treasons against every free institution. SPAIN. SPAIN. The hopes of the enemies of liberty being baffled by the determination and wisdom of the patriots of Madrid, and by the energy of the patriotic commanders in the provinces adjoining France, where a holy crusade had been engendered, the expectations of this malevolent party are now directed to the congress at Verona, one of whose measures is anticipated to consist of a confederate army, which is to march through France and enter Spain! Should so mad an enterprize be undertaken, we foresee the bursting of a volcano which will scatter its flames and its light all over Europe. GREECE. We lament that we have this month no certain news to record of the further success of the Greeks. Late reports have indeed been most unfavourable to their cause. Corinth has been retaken by the Turks, and the Greeks driven within the Morea; but the latest accounts ascribe new victories to the Greeks, and the abandonment of Corinth, of which, in our next, we hope to be able to detail the particulars. INCIDENTS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS, IN AND NEAR LONDON, With Biographical Memoirs of distinguished Characters recently deceased. CHRONOLOGY OF THE MONTH. AUGUST 22.The inhabitants of the liberty of St. Andrew's parish, Holborn, met in the church for the purpose of resisting the claim to tithes, set up by the rector. Several able speeches were delivered, a committee formed, and subscriptions entered into. The present rector derives from his office 2,0001. a year, and holds another living in the church; yet he is now bringing actions to enforce payment of 2s. and 9d. in the pound, upon that division of the parish which is within the liberties of the city of London, under an Act of Henry the Eighth. 24.-The premises of Mr. Stokes, calico-printer,in Grosvenor-market, Berkeley-square, entirely consumed by fire. -26.-The premises of Mr. Norden, slop-seller, and the adjoining house, in Upper East Smithfield, burnt down. Sept. 1.-The king arrived in town from Scotland. -2.-A fire broke out in the house of a venetian blind-maker, in Old Round Court, Strand, which consumed that and the two adjoining houses. 3. The extensive premises of Messrs. Luntley and Milner, wholesale druggists, in Bread-street-hill, partly destroyed by fire. - 12.-One of Carlile's shopmen arrested at his shop in Water-lane, for selling Palmer's Principles of Nature. -16-A Woolwich coach overturned in coming down the hill from the Green Man, at Blackheath; when only one, ont of sixteen passengers, escaped without the loss of a limb, or a fracture. Same day.-A destructive fire broke ont in the floor-cloth manufactory of Messrs. Rolls and Goulston, in the Bermondsey road. The premises were entirely consumed, and, the flames spreading to an adjoining timber-yard, upwards of twenty houses were damaged. MONTHLY MAG. No. 373. 17. The steam-engine of a gluemanufactory at Camberwell, on the banks of the Surrey canal, burst with a terrific explosion. The shock broke the windows in several of the adjoining houses; the whole north wing of the manufactory was blown down; five of the workmen received serious fractures, two were killed, and the top of the boiler was hurled one hundred and twenty feet into the air! 19. The half-yearly court of proprictors of the Bank of England was held this day, when the dividend of 5 per cent. for the half-year was voted. In auswer to a question from the proprietor, the governor said, "that as yet no plan had been devised likely to prevent forgery!" The London-bridge water-works are pulling down on the Middlesex side, and the other works on the Southwark side are likewise to be removed. The Company have disposed of their interest to the New River Company, which is actively employed in laying down pipes to serve the former Company's connections. The whole of the houses on the Southwark side of the bridge, on the right-hand side of High-street, down to the Town-hall, are to be entirely cleared away, if the new bridge should proceed. As it will be nearer to Southwark Bridge by a considerable distance, it will face part of Fishmongers' Hall, according to the present arrangement, in which case that must come down, with the whole of the buildings contiguous to Fish-street-hill, so as nearly to form a straight line with Gracechurch-street.

Fenn Moppatt, of Freeschool-street, Horsleydown, many years commander in the service of the Hon. Board of Ordnance. His affability and strict honour endeared him to all who knew him, and, among others, to a society of which he was a member, and who subscribed for his portrait. His death was accelerated by his great anxiety for his expected superannuation, which he did not receive. His meritorious services in At Chigwell-row, Mrs. Wilbraham, of the relief of Gibraltar, during the siege, Upper Seymour-street. was handsomely acknowledged by Gene ral ral Elliott, in a certificate now in his family's possession, which proves the high estimation in which his services were held. He has left a numerous family, who deeply lament the loss of so excellent a husband and father. At Slough, 87, Sir William Herschel, L.L.D. F.R.S. knight of the Guelphic order of Hanover; but far more distinguished for his discoveries, and his profound views and writings in astronomy, and in other branches of natural philosophy. He was born in Hanover in 1738, and was the second of four sons, all of whom were brought up to their father's profession, as musicians. Finding, however, in his son William an inquisitive mind beyond what appeared in the other sons, he gave him the advantage of a French master. Luckily, the tutor's favourite study was metaphysics; and, from this worthy man, Herschel acquired an introductory knowledge of logic, ethics, &c. In 1759, he left his native country and repaired to London, whither his father and himself accompanied some Hanoverian troops, as part of their military band. With these the father returned, leaving young Herschel to try his fortunes in England, who first engaged himself as a hautboy player in the band of the county of Durham militia. He after wards obtained the situation of organist at Halifax, in Yorkshire, principally through the recommendation of the late Joah Bates, esq. son of the then parish-clerk of Halifax. There he taught music, and employed his leisure hours in learning the English, Italian, and Latin languages, and in obtaining an insight into the elements of mathematics and natural philosophy. The theory of harmony engaged his attention, and he made himself master of Dr. Smith's Harmonies. He then resolved on the regular study of mathematics, and proceeded through Newton's Principia. Other sciences now became easy to him. He then went to Italy, where he staid so long that his money was exhausted, and he found himself without funds sufficient to carry him to England. He surmounted this difficulty by a benefit concert at Genoa, which he was able to do by the friendship of Langlé, a Frenchman. In 1766, Sir William removed with his brother to Bath, where they were engaged for the pump-room band by the late Mr. Lindley. Sir William was, like his nephew Griesbach, esteemed an excellent performer on the oboe, as his brother was on the violoncello. His musical pursuits found him great employment; yet he saved time for the study of the mathematics, and now particularly directed his pursuits to optics and astronomy. The pleasure which he experienced from viewing the stars through a Gregorian telescope of two feet, made him desirous of possessing a collection of astronomical instruments, but the cost was an insurmountable obstacle. He therefore determined to endeavour to make a telescope himself, and he accordingly commenced the undertaking. After much labour and many failures be succeeded; and, in 1774, had the inexpressible pleasure of viewing the stars through a Newtonian reflector of tive feet, of his own construction. Encouraged by this success, and by the pleasure of the pursuit, he afterwards proceeded to construct one of seven, and then of ten feet. He now devoted his nights to observations, and had the good fortune to remark that a star, which had been recorded by Bode as a fixed star, had changed its position, and was progressively doing so. Prolonged attention to it enabled him to determine that it was an hitherto unobserved planet; and, having determined its rate of motion, its orbit, &c. he announced his interesting discovery to the world, which, in compli ment to the King of England, he named the Georgium Sidus; but which astronomers call, in honour of the discoverer, Herschel. It has also been denominated, Uranus. This discovery was made in 1781, and was announced to the Royal Society, who decreed him their annual gold medal, and unanimously elected him a fellow. In the next year the King of England, gratified by the compliment paid him by his Hanoverian subject, took him under his protection. Herschel, therefore, quitted Bath with his instruments, and took up his residence at Slough, near Windsor, in a house provided for him by the king, who appointed him his professor of astronomy, with a pension. He now found himself in a situation to bring his great design to bear, which was, to construct a telescope of forty feet. In this he at last succeeded; it was completed in 1789, and he then rendered an account of it to the Royal Society, who soon published it in their "Transactions." A description and drawing of it are likewise to be found in the "Monthly Magazine." It has been generally supposed that Dr.H. discovered the planet Herschel by means of his great telescope, but it was made with his seven-foot telescope. 1783 he announced a supposed discovery of a volcano in the moon; and in 1787, by continuing his observations, he detected two more in supposed eruption. In pursuing his observations on the planet Herschel, he found that it had two satellites. Herschel was now, by the University of Oxford, named a doctor of laws. He has since supplied the "Philosophical Transactions" with many elaborate and profound communications on the construction of the universe, on the systems of the fixed stars, on the nebulous stars, on light, and other philosophical subjects, the substance of which is to be found in all our elementary works of science.
