cited by the Hon. Member for \Vcym.•oth ; should be the opinion of the House that it Netter before passing a-Bill of this kind to en n inquiry as to the relative situations in which ffetent departments and offices of the public preen: stood, as to this mater, and with a flaking the new proposed arrangement more in each particular case to the view of Par. r the Act of 1821-2, he should not oppose the ent of this measure to the nest Session.—He allowed at the same time to declare, that he t was the most lenient and least oppressive nake provision for these superannuation al which the Finance Committee had thus re-, ed. GRANT had listened to the speech of his o. Friend with great pleasure, and especially rt of it in which he declared his readiness to the measure to next Session. He did not for : doubt the sincerity of his Right Honourable leclaration of the pain with which he had or ward a measure so seriously affecting the those with whom he had long been in offi ction. But when his Right Hon. Friend tie t the recommendation of the Finance Com this subject had been unanimous, he for one it was so, and would have been pleased to hear light Hon. Gentleman himself, entertaining rigs, had formed an exception to their unani vas said that this B 11, which he considered was great act of injustice, proceeded on the same ds the measures of 1822 and 1824. He (Mr. itended that this was not true, and proceeded t comparison between the present Bill and ler measures, from which he inferred that the low proposed would be infinitely more unjust .ssive in its operation. Civil services were en as much consideration as military service. rig year a lamented friend of his (Mr. Hill, to the Treasury) had paid the forfeit of his duties of his office. He was not a solitary and it was mall) too much to make free with , sis and hard earned emoluments of the most class of the public officers of the country. he agreed with the Finance Committee on rev, in this he entirely dissented from them. ;ht the attempt dishonest and unfair towards of public officers, and was extremely glad the was postponed. PARNELL said, the reason of the recom. n of the Finance Committee was, that the nation charge had increased since 1810, from o 400,0001. Considering the circumstances ;lorry, he thought the Committee were bound mend all reductions which would enable the o have the public service performed at the te. It certainly did appear, upon inquiry into ct, that all the salaries of the public officers mit of reduction, and it was thought better mend the course of making a superannuation n to reduce salaries. In all the great commer lishments of the country very effective service ned at a much lower rate than was paid by c. Under these circumstances he thought the Committee were bound to make the recoils n they had made. MACINTOSH strongly opposed the Bill. cs in public offices had no road to honour, for. distinction, opened to them, and their interests rigs ought, he thought, to be most tenderly h. It was the remark of foreigners, that in no f Europe, for the last century, bad there been eculation, or beuayal of state secrets as in Eng was therefore to be considered, at what price Id get good service, not at what price they person, to serve them. Where the interett. of rsons were concerned, he could not vote on :e with the recommendai ion of any Committee. d, therefdre, that more time would be given to e to consider of this question. ILMOT-HORTON said postponement was if justice were to be done to particular classes iblic officers. The question was one of reduc shay, and could be applied with justice to D weie to come into office after its enactment; lought the House should take more time for ition before they would apply it to those now' —(Hear, hear).

THE EVENING STAR. •-",- LON1)(1N. TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1828. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Consol market has a brighter appearance this morning than for several days past, more particularly caused from what the Duke of Waumerrox said in the House of Lords last eight, that vernment had no intention of moving for a vote of credit. This assertion had some effect on Con4ols, which opened this morning at 118 i to for the Account; since which they have been done at 881 I, and for next time BSI, and at present they may be quoted at 881, alternately buyers and sellers. This is settling day in the Foreign market, and the only business .doing is settling their Accounts. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. Consols have been fluctuating, during the morning, between 814 and 88/ for the Account. and at present may be quoted at 88/, alternately buyers and sellers. The Commissioners purchased the usual quantity in Consols at 811 j, and they will continue purchasing at the present scale until the 16th of August: after which It will be about £7,000 a day to the end of the year. The whole amount applicable to the Sinking Fund, according to the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHIEHIRR'S statement, will be at the rate of £3,000,000 per annum, provided the excess of the Revenue amounts to as much; ►ut this sum is chargeable with £580,000 per annum on the Dead Weight Amounts held by she Bank, thus leaving about £51,4e0,000 to be laid out in the Money Market.

In the House of Lords last night Lord HOLLAND pot several questions to the Duke of WILL! TON, in regard to the in• tendon of Government relative to our foreign connections; to which the illustrious Premier candidly and satisfactorily answered, that there was no intention on the part of his Majesty's Government to ask for a vote of credit for the service of the year ; neither was it the intention of his Majesty's Government to bring forward any measure which would require any explanation, or be calculated to I excite any discnuion as to the state of the foreign relations of the cdnotry. Lord HOLLAND then gave notice of a motion upon the subject for Wednesday (to-mor row). It is extremely mortifying to observe the little re sistance made by the Constitutionalists of Oporto to the ' power of Don MlGUEL—and indeed the general bad management, shown by delay and otherwise, of the cause of Independence. The events which preceded the taking of Oporto, are in themselves conclusive of the value of patriotism. Don Mtouar. announced th4t be assumed the title of King at the request of his free and independent subjects, the Cortes. His free and independent subjects, who had so long been shouting for the Constitutional Charter entire, as freely gave their voices for the Absolute King, and so the three Estates met in three different chut ches to consummate the liberties of Portugal, offered up thanks,. givings for the blessings which were to follow the election, ,and chaunted a Te Deum upon the occasion. Then, anxious to consummate the independence tf the king dom, the army marched to Oporto, and the remnant of the Constitutional army, which saw the wor shippers of Absolutism approach, fled in every di rection; and thus the city of Oporto, so lately the seat of freedom, became at once the depository of the adherents of perjury and rebellion. When men are determined to fight for their liberties they will sacrifice much to attain, or rather to endeavour at attaining their object. But what have the Constitu tional Portuguese sacrificed ? Except a little pattering about the Constitutional Charter. we know of nothing they have done in the way of effective resistance. Before we come seriously to consider of what materials the Portuguebe are composed, no other result could have been expected. It they are so fond of an absolute King —if they can so soon forget DonPeorto and the Chaster, and tamely submit to the trammels of slavery,which will be the consequence of the election of their new King— in GOD'a name let them enjoy their blessings undisturbed. The 114ig4relites are said to have conducted themselves with perfet:t good order and discipline at Oporto, and the British Consul to have received the strongest as surances from the Portuguese General that the persons and property of British subjects should be protected.— The consternation which had previously prevailed among them bad, in consequence, subsided ; and at the date of the latest accounts which have reached-us, the British families who had taken refuge on board the , merchantmen and ships of war, were preparing to return to the city. An Official Bulletin from the Russian army, given in another pai t of our Paper, states that the Russians, in addition to the capture of Brailow, have made them selves master of Hirsova, en the Danube, and of the important post of Kusteodgi, on the Black Sea. The rear on they right and left flanks is thus secure, whilst Kusteodgi affords them the means of receiving, with the greatest facility, supplies of provisions and ammuni tion from Odessa. We received FranklortP.pers this morning. The &flowing arc extracts : SMYRNA, MAY 31. On the 28th inst. Hassan Pacha sent for the inter preters of the several Consulates, and signified to them that henceforth no an of war, of whatever nation it might be, would be allowed to enter the port of Smyrna; that those which were there might remain as long as they thought proper, but that when once they had sa they would not be permitted to come in again. He informed them that the object of this measure was to provent Russian men . of war from entering under the Lig of some .other nation, and fixed the 30. h for re ceiving the answer of the Admirals and Commanders of divisions. An express was immediately sent to Admiral de Rigny, who was at Vourla, to inform him of this com. m unication. , On the 29th Count Dandolo, the ,Austrian Admiral the American, Dutch, and English Commodores, ac companied by the Consul General of Austria, assembled to hold a conference at the residence of the Consul Ge. neral of the Netherlands. It was there unanimously decided, that the measure proposed by the Pacha could not be acceded to ; tha t the men of war of the Powers not at war with the Porte could not renounce their right of frequenting withou hindrance the port of Smyrna, a right which was founde d on treaties, that nothing could authorise an infraction O f those treaties, and that if force should be employed against them, they would be obliged to repel it. This answer was transmitted to the Governor, who declared that all his efforts were directed to the maintenance of the tranquillity of the country; and that if the Com manders of the squadrons thought they could propose some mote efficacious or acceptable means of attaining that object, he should always be ready to make an ar rangement with them for that purpose. On the 29th, at three o'clock, Admiral de Rigny,wbo was on the point of sailing for the Archipelago when the news reached him, arrived in his boat. He sent in the Governor an answer in writing,•the contents of which are not known, but the object of which is to settle the difficulty, while he firmly maintains the rights of his flag. In consequence of the observations made by the Com 'Ails and Naval Commanders, and a long conference of Admiral de Rigny with the Pacha at nine in the even ing, every thing has beeo amicably arranged, and re mains on the same footing as beretofore,for the general interest of the city. The history of the Greek revolution up t.) this time is entirely included in that of some distinguished foreigners whom glory, ambition, or cupidity, have attracted to tbis scene of action. Among the men who have acted a part in Greece daring the last seven years, Lord Cochrane is undoubtedly known by his preceding career, and he who was most depended upon for the promotion of the Greek revolution. Yet though his character and his talents rendered him the perrm who was capable of doing the most, he is the one who has done the least. His naval skill and bravery, which are celehrated through the whole world, do away with every idea of ascribing the fault to him. The want of disci. pline among the men under his command, the under hand opposition of the heads of the Government, were doubtless the principal obstacles to his suc cess ; but is it not also jut to own that his love of money had raised insurmountable obstacles in the contract which had enrolled blots in the service of Greece? This contract allotted an enormous sum to him .; it snatched from the Government and the seamen the last prey that was left for them to devour—the balance of the English loan. Cochrane wanted to make war like a British Admiral; the Greeks desired only a freebooter, who would procure them money, instead of taking it from them. This contract bas never been published, and is but little known even in Greece: it is so curious a docu• ment that it deserves to be• transcribed at length : "Taman . concluded at Limnos August 16.1825, between Messrs.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. Last evening, a new piece, an Historical Anecdote, called The Noyades ; or, Love and Gratitude, said to be from Vie pen of Mr. Planche t WAS produced at this Theatre, and most triumphantly received. Its title of the iiNoyade" is taken from the monstrous sacrifices of human life, by sinking hundreds of both sexes in boats, which, among other horrible cruelties, marked the early progress of the French Revolution. "The Anecdote" opens with the assemble of soldiers of the Royalist army, in the Auberge (Inn) o f L a Vendee; and a song by Mr. J. &Ann, as a French Sergeant, is here very effectively intro duced. The personages of this scene are also a timid villager, Tardiff (Mr. Kiatitr).; Eugenie, a spirited fighting village lass (Miss Gowaits), quite a heroine in her way; and Matois, a spy (Mr., 0. SMITH). These severally develope their characters; and the busi ness of the anecdote commences in the next scene at the cottage of Marguerite (Mrs. Baraa), where Captain Lowest, .of the Re publicans (Mr. James Virus*) ; takes refuge after an escape from some Royalist troops, and is received and sheltered by Carlin, a Vendean girl (Miss KELLY), unknown to her mother, and through her presence of mind be is also concealed from the search of the • guard of royalists conducted by Matois. This shelter leads to a surprisingly sudden attachment of Celine to the Captain, but he accidentally drops his being betrothed toJulia (MissGkav)and upon his departure promises no return, or send a handkerchief to his pro tector. However the klndCarline is so overpowered by her affection, that she bursts from her mother's arms, and follows him to the war of LaVendee,and being taken prisoner, is, after an intervening steno or so, conducted with other captives to the" Noyade," or drown ing in the Loire; and at the moment when she is about being con signed to the raft or boat, the Captain rushes in, rescues her, and saves her friends among the wretched group about to be drowned. A scene of the second act introduces, for the first time at this Theatre, Mr. 'BENSON Hitt, as Major Lenigan, an Irish Major, who marries Julia in the absence of his friend, the Captain, and, upon the announcement, also much to his satis faction. This Gentleman met with au extremely favourable re ception, and performed the little he had to do very respectably.— Upon these materials a slight and interesting drama, we will use the term, is founded, and although perhaps there may be but Std. in the outlay to attract approbation, the concluding scene is so striking and pathetic, that it would redeem a less interesting intro- duction. Miss Kastv, as Carlene, certainly last night did all that any actress of her extraordinary powers could do fin the author, and brought him through most triumphantly. This young Lady never could have been seen with greater effect. Her acting in the dungeon, and.last scene,, was indeed great, and was of that affect ing character that the sympathies of the audience were excited to a very high degree. She was most rapturously received and, ap plauded, and when the curtain fell the audience repeatedly cheered this successful " Anecdote." It was announced for repetition title evening, by Mr. J. Viaiato, without a single dissentient voice. We bad almost omitted to notice that little Kalmar pertormed the ter rified villager with irresistibly comic humour. The Theatre was crowded to an overflow. THE ARMY. The first Division of the 78th Regiment of Foot arrived in Paisley on Thursday, and the second Division on Saturday last, from Fort George. The first Division of the Royals left Paisley on Monday, and embarked the same day op board the steam-boats at Renfrew for Fort George; and the following day the remaining Division took the same route. The Depot of the 79th, or Cameronian Highlanders, at present In Ireland, it is expected will shortly be ordered to Scotland; and the 9td Highlandexi,_at present in Glasgow, will be removed to Ireland.

Gem A , _adman who lett Opo:to on the sth, and who had the best opponunities of knowing the progress of events, states, that on the 2.1 in the morning a Council of War was held, to which an the Commanders of Corps or Regiments were summoned...— At this Council it is said to have been decided, that the Ge neral (Satuanua) should hazard a battle to cover Oporto, and that in case of defeat the army should retreat towards P.. nafiel,— disperse the corps of GASPAR Tirmenta—advance to meet a reinforcement of Constitutional troops from Almeida, and try the effect of a movement on Lisbon. The result of this . deliberation was immediately communicated to the Provisional Junta, with an expression of undiminished hope in the success of the cause. It had previously been resolved that this Junta, in case of a defeat, should be reduced to three (military men we bit, neve), of which SALDANNA was to be President. Scarcely . haat - the Junta perused and deliberated on this dispatch, when they received another from the General, stating that the troops were dispirited, and that representations bad been made to him by their Colonels that they would not fight. In such &cum- • stances, General SALDANKA concluded that he ought not to ha card a battle, and he therefore added that he gave up the coon- .. wand of the army. No further idea of resistance could now be entertained. The Junta, therefore, saw themselves under the necessity of providing for their own safety by repairing to the ships in the river in order to secure their escape. The Marquis of PatA =tut and Count 'VILLA .toes had gone on board the Belfast steam boat, where they "Me followed by SALDANOA.
