THE COll ,11 ISSIO V ERS for VICTUALLING his MAJESTY'S NAVY, tte. d. hereby give Notice, That nn Wionmeav, the 14th of November neat, they will be ready to receive Tenders in writing (sealed up), and treat for Forty Toes of New OATMEAL, Three Hundred and Fifty Quarters of New PALE MALT, One Hundred and Fifty Quarters of New AMBER MALT, Fifty Bags of KENTISH HOPS, of the growth of the present ear. which be received yesterday by Tartars, who came in three days from the Grand Vizier's camp, near Varna. These accounts say that the Russians had attempted to storm the town, and had penetrated into it, but were driven back by Omer Vrione and the Capitan Pacha. " Another Tartar from Hussein Pacha's camp is said to have brought word to our Pacha that the Rus sian army before Schumla is hard pressed by two Turkish armies. The Turks are at this moment (ten o'clocic at night) showing their joy by a general illu mination." to our Governor, General Don, by M. de Ballasteros, Minister of his most Catholic Majesty " Excellency—The heart of the King, my august master, afflicted at the dreadful situation to which the epidemic has reduced Gibraltar, and desiring to com. fort the inhabitants in their affliction, from motives of humanity, and also from the consideration that they are the subjects of his Britannic Majesty, with whom my Royal Master is on terms of amity and friendship, has been graciously pleased to command that, to relieve the wants which must necessarily arise amidst the hor rors of the epidemic to the poorer classes, there shall be placed at the disposal of your Excellency 10,000 fanegas (about a cwt.) of corn, belonging to his Ma jesty, from the tithe of i the provinces of Seville and Cadiz, or an equivalent quantity of Blur, if your Et. cellency should think the latter more convenient; and that this shall be conveyed at his Majesty's expense to the place which you shall point out. lam likewise commande4 by his Majesty to say, that if this quantity should not be sufficient to meet the wants of the people,. a quantity of corn or flour, amounting to 20,000 lane.' gas, will in the same manner be placed at your disposal. Orders to this effect have been transmitted to the Ge neral commanding the camp near Gibraltar. who will arrange with your Excellency the means of carrying the will of the King into effect. GOD preserve your Excellency many years.—Madrid, arc." This benefaction of the King of Spain, in our present destitute condition, will never be forgotten. The fever continues its ravages with incredible fury. The persons who have fled to the neighbouring places have not escaped from its dreadful visitation. We have just lost three physicians—one a Spanish, the other an English, and the third a Jewish doctor. The bulletins as to the number of those affected are very imperfect, as many persons attacked with the con tagion conceal themselves in their houses without hav ing recourse to the physicians, but using simple reme dies. The English physicians here do not use either bleeding or mercury in the treatment of the disease, experience having shown that these are extremely pre judicial in yellow fever. Mild prescriptions, and parti culavy castor oil, are in general used. you, though delivered on Penenden•heath, must sub stantially reach you through the medium of the press, I determined to remain a silent spectator of the pro. ceedings. I also felt that some of the statements to which I wished to call your attention were of a eater. which required more deliberate consideration than the excitement and agitation of such a scene rendered pos sible. " Before I enter upon the general rtbjeet. I wish to correct a mis-statement, relative to myself, which has Four Hundred Thousand WILLOW RODS, Two Thousand ELLS of CANVAS, and Five Thousand SACKS for the use of the Mill. Eight Hundred Quarters of PEAS. To be delivered into his Majesty's Victualling Stores at Deptford, one half of the (Mime', Malt, Willow Rods, Peas, and Sacks by the 15th of December next, and the remainder by the 31st day of January following, and the whole of the Hops and Canvas by the 15th of December next. appeared in the public papers, and which, as it might be calculated to injure me in your goo.' opinion, after the part in which I took in signing the requisition for the meeting, in some degree imposes on me the oblige. tion of addressing you. It has been asserted that it was • my intention either t r make or support a motion of ad journment. That I voted against the motion, when made by Mr. Hodges, is known to those who were near me; and, it is so tar from ever having been my intro• tion to take such a course, that in the answer I made to the very first communication I received on the subject of any proceeiings in the county relative to the Catholic question, I expressed a distinct opinion that nothing short of the declared sense of the freeholders, taken at a county meeting regularly convened, could produce that effect upon public opinion, which it was the object of my Nuble Friend who addressed me to bring about. 4 . Having disposed of this personal point. I wish next to declare, that it was neither my object, nor, so far as I know, that of others who joined in convening the meeting, to express a premature opinion upon any ntea. sures the Government may think it light to submit to Parliament, or to dictate to the Legislature the course which it should pursue. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 5. Though the Porte continues to publish the most favourable accounts from Hussein Pacha, we are more than ever apprehensive for Varna, as it is thought Omer Vrione's arrival %kill prove too late to save it.

LIAMBUROH, Ocr. i 7. The following is the Turkish account of the affair of the 7111 at Varna, as given in a letter from Belgrade, October IS: " Our Paella bas published acct ants of it vittrry OCT. al.—Three articles in the Ceurrier des Pays Bas have led to the arrest of two honourable citizens, as if their presence were dangerous in the midst of a population which must be considered as very distrustful, or very riotous; as it, like vagabonds, they had at tempted to evade the pursuit of justice. Messrs. Jot trend and Claes having acknowledged themselves the authors of the first two articles, have been sent before the Tribunal of Correctional Police; and also M. Cocbe Momens. M. E. Ducpetiaux and M. Coche Momens are further sent before another Tribunal, as having at tempted to sow division among the Belgians, on the occasion of the expulsion from the kingdom of the two strangers whom they have defended. Yesterday, the 30th, at eleven in the morning, his Majesty rscsived the Deputation of the Two Chambers, which had the honour to present to him the Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne. His Serene Highness the Grand Duke of Baden has issued an Ordinance against the Societies formed in the Universities, under the name Burschensohoft. His High- ness observes, that a resolution of the German Diet, in 1819, strictly prohibited all secret associations in the Universities, and that he has himself issued various Ordinances to destroy their pernicious influence; yet, late events bave proved that they still subsist, and that they still produce the saute *al effects; he, therefore, declares, that these Associations Shall, henceforth, be treated not as transgressors of the discipline of the Uni• versities, but as Misdemeanours, amenable to the Courts of Justice; that the authors, principals, and other functionaries of these Societies, even if they have no criminal object, shall be punished by three or six months' confinement in a fortress. Ersons suspected of par ticipating in secret associations may be dismissed from the Universities without any formal proof. If the object' of the Society is criminal, the penalty and decree by the law shall be inflicted. Any of the inhabitants who shall, knowingly, allow meetings of Secret S cieties in their houses, shall be filled from 50 to 100 &sins.— Brussels Papers, Nov. 1.

Active diplomatic correspondence between the Chan cellor of Foreign Affairs and the Cabinet of St. James's gives reason to presume that the two Courts are se. cloudy engaged with the affairs of the East. New dis patches have been sent to Baron d'Ottenfels, the Impe rial InteCnuncio at Constantinople. It is affirmed that he is instructed to acquaint the Reis Effendi that Aus tria and England intend to oppose the blockade of the Dardanelles by the Russian fleet, and drat notes to this effect have been addressed tis the Cabinet of St. Peters burgh. It is said also that these notes laid down the basis of a treaty of peace between Russia and Turkey, which are said io be the same as those of the fluty of Bucharest of 1812, and that the two belligerent Powers are invited to accept them, in order to re-establish tran quillity in the East. 11011 THE QUOTIDIIIII/Ig. FEVER AT GIBRALTAIt—Ocs. 14. Oaf situation is every day becoming more afflicting. The mortality has already increased to such an extent, that instead of having the dead borne to the grave on the shoulders of men, as has hitherto been the practice, the Governor has directed that two carts should be em ployed for that purpose. The poorer classes are now threatened with another plague, not less terrible than the yellow fever—that of famine. The Committee appointed to administer relief to the destitute poor„,,by the daily distribution of soup and bread, have publicly announced that their fonds are exhausted, and that unless prompt and effectual means of assistance be afforded, thousands of poor per sons at present wholly dependent on public charity for support, must be left to perish of hunger ; and it is added that the police stationed to preserve order in the camp, and to prevent the spread of the disease, can be Do longer kept up. In this dreadful state of things, it is some consolation to be able to state that a Royal hand has been extended fur the very benevolent purpose of mitigating our sof leriogs, as will appear by the following litter, addressed PROTESTANT DEMONSTRATION. BEWDLICYIIJEETING. 76.0211 7111 WORMIER Jovaviat, OCT. 30. A most respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Bewdley and its vicinity, took place at the Town Hall, at twelve o'clock this day, in pursuance of a requisition sent to Joust WILLIAMS, Esq. Bailiff, who was called to the Chair, and very ably opened the business of the day. The Rev. Jolts CAwoon complimented the worthy Bailiff on the promptitude he had evinced in calling the Meeting, and the inhabitants of that ancient and loyal Borough, for their unfailing loyalty to the Protestant Constitution, and in being she first in this county, and the second only to the loyal Men of Kent, in meeting to Petition bosh Houses of Parliament against any " sur render" of our Constitution. The Rev. Gei.tleman read the following Petition, and moved that it be adopted, which was seconded by Joms Riotous, Esq. and unanimously canted : "To Ter THE COMMONS OIF THE UNITED FINOD2II OF (MIAS 1111TAIN AND !ARLAND, IN !AlUfM$$T ASAILICILDI3. " The Petition of the undersigned inhabitants of the &rough of Bewdky and its Vicinity, humbly thoweth— " That your Petitioners approach your Honourable House as Protestants, and in the genuine spirit of Protestantism implore that, if it can be shown that the Roman Catholics do not enjoy perfect liberty of conscience, and complete toleration of their reli gion, your Honourable House would grant them such liberty and such toleration. " That your Petitioners unalterably believe that Protestantions it an essential part of the Bridsh Constitution ; and that, to ensure a Protestant Government, and to secure the Protestant religion, the House of Stuart was expelled, and the lions. of Brunswick was seated en the Throne of these realms. " That your Petitioners appeal to the history of eight centuries for kupt r.ibundant proof that Popery has ever been tyrannical and intolerant—equally hostile to Lberty of conscience, and to civil liberty. " That your Petitioners cannot but perceive, from the late vio lent conduct of the Roman Catholics in Ireland, that their object k not religious liberty, but political power their Priesthood openly setting servants against their mitten, tenants against their landlords, and subjects against their Sovereign,for political purposes " That your Petitioners are strongly convinced that the Ro om Catholic Alsocidion ' are affecting the sovereignty of Ireland, and are systematically labouring to weary the Legislature by the importvilit of their demands, and to intimidate th e Government by the disp lay of their numbers. " That your Peddoners are fully persuaded that the Roman Catholics can give seedy a partial or divided allegiance to a Pro testant Government ;—and they strongly, but respectfully, main tabu that to grant th e demands of the Roman Catholics , and thus to place men of a divided allegiance on a level with men whose allegiance is sound and perfect—would be injustice to more than twelve millions of Protestants, and treason to a Protestant Con stitution. " Confident, therefore, that the admission to pnlitleal power of men whose religion is intolerant—who yield supreme allegiance to a Foreign Pmentate—who strive to gain their object by wearying the Legislature—and by intimidating the Government ;would be dcstritaive of religious and civil liberty. and utterly subversive of our Protestant Constitution; your Petitioners most earnestly be seech your Honourable House to withhold political power from the Homan Catholics. " And your , Petitioners win ever pray." ate. Upon the motion of J. PILKINOTON, Esq. seconded by T. H. CRANi e Esq. it was resolved that Earl Bean. champ be requested to present the Petition to the House of Lords. and W. A. Roberts, Esq. that to the Com mons. It was then moved that the Bailiff do leave the Chair, which was taken by James FRYER, Esq. when the cordial thanks of the Meeting were unanimously voted to the Bailiff, on the proposition of the Rev. Mr. TAYLOR, seconded by E. It. NISHOLAII, Esq. Mr. WILLIAMS expressed his grateful acknowledgements for the hcmour. and said he most heartily concurred in the objects and proceedings of the Meeting. It was then proposed to give three times three cheers, which was done in a most enthusiastic manner. LORD BEXLEY'S ADDRESS. The following Address to " the Freeholders of the County of Kest," from Lord Beaky, has been circulated extensively during the past week. It was distributed at the dinner of the arum. wick Qub on Friday at Idaidstooe, where considerable impoltatwo was attached to it. " TO Till PRIUMOLDZIOI OP TUE COUNTY OP PENT. " Gentlemen—Having no official situation or dis. tinguisbed station in the county which peculiarly called upon me to address you yesterday, and perceiving that voices, much more powerful than mine, could reach only a very small part of the assembled multitude, and that, therefore, the sentiments of those who addressed is We have great confidence that those Ministers who have long been the able and successful advocates of the Protestant cause will continue to give it effectual sup. port; and we are so far from a with to intimidate the Legislature, as has been calumniously imputed to us, in so many forms, and in so public a manner, that it is our desire to rescue the two Houses of Parliansent from the intimidation under which it is attempted to compel them to sanction measurer which their deliberate judg ment has repeatedly rejected. "It is attempted, under the dread of the consequences of longer resisting the claims of the Roman C abaft, to compel the Legislature to assent to their pretensions. not from a sense of their justice or expediency, not with due deliberation and a full view of the future conse quences of concession; but for the purpose of averting the immediate evils of rebellion and civil war. Has not the Catholic Association usurped the privileges of Par. liamect, and the pi-aura:dives of the CtOwn? Doe. it not impose taxes? Has it nut marshalled the pe .ple in military array ? Has it not created an 01 der—t he Oder of Liberators? A very ominous name ! Rod one which too plainly indicates very alarming dreigns. " Under such circumstances, and while the most un• bounded latitude is given to the advocates of the Roman Catholic cause to urge their pritensioris by every mode of threat and intimidation, shall the men of Kent be told that they will incur the guilt of provoking civil war, if, in a peaceful and legal manner, they declare their resolution to support the authority of the laws and the Constitution of their country? 4 ' The main argument upon which the Roman Ca tholic Advocates rely is, that however dangerous the principles of the Roman Catholic Church may in former ages have been to the cause of civil and religious liberty, and tf.e Protestant Constitution established in these realms, those dangers are now passed by, and the ap prehension of them become ridiculous—that the senti• ments of the Roman Catholics are now enligl.tened and liberal, and that the charges of bigotry and intolerance ate now only imputable to the Protestants Gentlemen—The alliance between Popery and Liberalism is no new event. Every one of the measures which cost King James the Second his Crown. were measures taken in the names of liberty ot conscience. and the removal of political distinctions on account of religious differences; but our ancestors knew, that while he talked of toleration, his ultimate aim was really per. secutiun : and ac their umost risk, and with a profuse expenchtore of their blood and treasure, they achieved the revolution, and established that system ot Protestant laws and cGnstitution, under which, for nearly a century and a halt, this country has enjoyed a degree of relu. gious toleration and civil freedom, unknown an any other age or country. It is true that, for the security of that constitution. lass s of severe restriction were imposed upon the R man Catholics. That they were more necessary (in Leland especially) than some are willing to allow, appeared from a, circumstance which. for the 6►st _ time, was brought to light, by the examinations of the Com_ mittees of Parliament in the year 1825, namely, that from the Revolution until the extinction of the House of Stuart, the Roman Catholic Bishops Gf Ireland con. tinued to be nominated by the representatives of that family—a circumstance which at once proves the great influence which they must have continued to mato to Ireland, and the dark and impenetrable secrecy with which the affairs of the Roman Catholic Church have been managed in that country. During the reign of his late Majesty, the Legislature judged (and, in my opinion, judged wisely, as well as humanely,) that or. eumstances were so moth altered as to admit of the removal of such of those restrictions as either affected in any degree the observance of religious worship, the enjoyment of property, or the exercise of professions, except in a very few cases connected with political in fluence. The question is now, whether the sentiments of the Roman Catholics are so far changed as to allow of their complete admission to the exercise of all poli tical rights equally with Protestant subjects? st It is always difficult to judge of the sentiments of bodies of men, because among individuals so many shades of difference are to be found; and there are, sod always have been, among persons of the Roman Catho• lic persuasion, many men of genuine piety and eminent virtue, and others in whom a sense of honour, or an in• herent feeling of moral principle, has corrected the per nicious doctrines of a corrupt Church ; but the bulk of the people must be supposfd to act upon the tenets avowed by the principal ecclasiastical authorities; and upon this subject a mass of authentic information has been laid before Parliament, which has, hitherto, not attracted so much attention as it deserves. al Besides the important examinations whicktook place in 1825, a large body of intorns4tion was collected by the Commissioners of Irish Education Inquiry; and I wish particularly to caU your atttiltiort o their eighth J
