Bentinck) to speak in adequate terms of the noble mind, thOabsence of *Web the nation de plored, but it was.not unbecoming in him to express his feelings on the subjett—(Cheers). He begged to state, that he felt the great responsibility - of the situation to which he had been appointed, and that he would ese his utmost etideavours to perform its duties to the suit faction of the public. His constant object would be to fulfil the intentions of the great Statesman to whom be bad alludar&tuid to merit the approbation of those who had actechipon that parrint'S recommendation. There was another ding to which he thought it necessary to tall the attendees of the Company whom be bad the honotn: to-address. His Government would close with the Charter of the East India Company—swith the ter mination of the honout able monopoly in which they Were engaged. He should,-during his Governorship in India, be enabled to judge whether any system would be likely to prove equally or more beneficial to the countries which were interested in Eastern affairs? and he would act upon that knowledge. He would, in fast, direct all the powers of mind of which he was. capable to the great theme of the interests of Great Betain—(Cheers). He •knew that if he performed the duties of which he had spoken, he should meet with the approbation of Go- vernment, of the E ist India Company, and of the coon n7. He would calculate upon that approbation: and he Misted that he should retort) with strong and unequi vocal claim to public confidence. He felt grateful for the instance of confidence trith !which he had already met, with this strong exhibition of feeling towards him, and he knew that it would never be abused—(Cheers). The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of Lord Goderich, and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers, which was drank with three times three, and very warmly. Lord Beater returned thanks. His Noble Friend (Lord 6Jderich), be was sure, regretted much his ina bility to attend upon this joyful occasion. The Noble Lord whose appointment they were celebratin; was known to be admirably qualified for the siteation in aeltich be was placed. Has services to the public had Hera most important : it would be injustice not to re ward them by a brilliant distinction—..and that reward now awaited him in the magnificent government of the gest. He (Lord Bexley) trusted that the words of the Honourable Chairman would be verified with respect to the Noble Lord, and that upon the return of his Lord ship be would be hailed with enthusiasm, as a man who bad execated a great public mission with zeal, ability, and success—(Cheers). Lord Baxtey then proposed the health of the Chair. man of the East India Company—(Three times three.) The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks. He declared that nothing in the woild could give him greater satis faction than the knowledge that he performed the duties of his station to the satisfaction cf his colleagues. The Hon. Gentleman then proposed the health of the Right Honourable Charles Williams Wynn, and the test of the Commissioners for the Affairs of India—(Three times three.) - Mr. Putuassoaz returned thanks. Ile declared, that the First Commissioner was animated by" the sincerest wish for the benefit of our eastern empire. The inte rests, in fact, of thii country were so deeply interwo ven with those of India r that it was impissible to ima gine them-capable of being separated from each othei without being - destroyed. In selecting for the Govern. ment of India the Noble Lord who had consented to take upon himself the responsibility. the greatest judg ment had been displayed. The maihness of his con duct upon all occasions of public service, the valour with which he had conducted himself on the continents of Asia and of Europe, the noble principles by which be was always known to have been actuated, all con- tributed to render him peculiarly well adapted to the extensive and difficult superintendence of Indian affairs, and excited a persuasion that he would promote the happiness and prosperity of the most extraordinary empire that ever the sun shone upon.—(Cheers.) None could have been more desirous of the appointment of the Noble Lord than those who constituted the board who had been just honoured by the approbation of the compassy.

They bring a confirtnatioo of all that we have hewed through c.ther channels respecting the Egyptian espedltion and the English squadron ; Lord Cochrane is reported to have been seen a few days ago with about 20 sail, between Cephalonia and Missolonghi." The Oriental Spertator of Sept. 1, contains a letter from one of its subscribers to the Editor, in reply to an article of the Greed Bee, published at Hydra, respecting the proceedings of the Austrian Commodore Count Dandolo, to recover four Austrian merchantmen cap. tared by the Greeks, and carried into Spezzii. The writer enters into a long analysis of the article in the Bee, which, with the exception of the fact that the ships .were given up, he declares to be a tissue of exaggeration and falsehood from beginning to end. The Oriental Spectator annexes' to the letter of its' correspondent some reflections on the conduct of the 'Spezziot cruisers, and the right they assume. to stop and search neutral ships at sea. " What," asks the Uriental Spectator,' , ll that the Prix: Court that was appointed at Napoli ? What is its code, its maritime and commercial law ? What security does it offer to the defence of the interests upon which it is to decide? How c.•n any man venture to speak of this Tribunal, since a number of judgments which we have in our hands, which we could produce, aid which we will produce if required, furnish a proof that this Tribunal is nothing but a scandalous mockery, a cloak contrived to cover piracy, since most of their sentences were not passed till the pirates bad already unloaded the vessels at Hydra and Sp•zz's, and the cargoes, respecting the capture o' whirl the Court was to decide, were irretrievably scattered and lost.' The Ay:lrian Observer remarks, in a note to the above:—" Few of our readers perhaps know that the Oriental Spedator, which has been published since Ist July this year, has nothing in common with the Journal that appeared for some years under this title, except the Stx months bare scarce►y elapsed since the general stagnation of commerce, the depreciation of property, the destruction of public credit, and the diseased state of England's paramount interests, peculiarly required, and called into active exercise, every faculty of judg ment and of foresight in those who held the reins of Administration, to extricate the country from her peri• loos situation. England required not aid in vain; under Autionrr PROVIDRNCE, prompt measures and enlightened minds soon resuscitated her fallen powers: Commerce revived, Enterprise put forth her latent vigour, and public con fidence resumed its firm and stable footing. Having steered the &ate vessel safely through the rocks and shallows that menaced its course, into deep and eons paratively tranquil waters, the wearied Pilots promised themselves repose after their arduous toil and labour. But repose, it seems, is not their lot; a new care de• mands no less assiduous attention--one of no less aw -1 ment than the future fate of the Irish populace. We know of no question of similar importance which has for the last twenty years attracted public notice, with more potent claims to mature consideration on the part of the Government, or one, the complicated nature of the attending difficulties of which was so cal culated to embarrass, so peculiarly constituted to die courage those attempting the task of deciding it. It seems that Emigration is the adopted remedy for the evil, caused at present at least, by a redundancy of population. Now it is objected to this, that as the number proposed to be yearly emigrated, amounts to less than half of the annual increase, the measure will prove by no means an ef f icient antidote. In reply t• this objection we are told that accompanying steps will be taken to guard against this future increase, or lessen, at least, its amount. Now if we may judge of the whole by a part, we can form but a very unsatisfactory opinion of these said pre. ventive measures. For instance, the truly ingenious scheme of palling down the old cabins by way of ar. resting the progress of population appears to us rather a wild goose plan. The. Irish, in their manners of life. perhaps more nearly resemble rabbits than any other animal to which they could be compared. Nor do we imagine that an attempt to restrain propagation among them by means of stopping up a few burrows in a war. ten, would prove much more successful than the scheme of demolishing the mod cabins. • Many say that emigration, by the fear of its recur rence, will act as a check to the overflow log of the, people. Now this really appears a most extraordinary sort of reasoning, Which is the greatest evil, starve. lion at Lome, or plenty abroad ?—We presume the former. It then with famine in all the plenitude of its horrors before their.eyes, without the most distant pros► pect of relief, the Irish have for the last ten years. with misery and wretchedness for their only bequest, gon e on marrying and multiplying, it seems strange that just as the tide of fortune turns, and relief, continued re lief. appears in view, they should immediately set about reforming their measures and curbing their passions. Now if these auxiliary Measures, and these logical theories fail, the one in effect, and the other in practice, we greatly fear, however necessary emigration may be, it must be on a larger scale before permanent good can be effected.

But to return to Ireland : we are of option that many of her woes owe their primary origin to the woe. ful ignorance so universally pervading the lower orders From ignorance, degradation of mind naturally enures, and degradation is the inseparable concomitont to pO. verty.—However politicians and philosophers May flit. pine the expedience of well educating the poorer claim, there is a humble and an useful species of instruction, not ha arts above their rank, but in the nommen radio meets of social civilization, which, from its Unassuming progress and yet most beneficent effect, shames alike the disapproval of aristocracy, and the karoed cavils of logic, but whenever it is allowed to exercise its great influence, triumphs finally over all objections opposed to it. We say the want of this, added to misrule and civil oppression, have more contributed to the ruin of the Irish people than any other causes, natural or unnatural, direct or indirect, whatever. And who wonders at the dreadful scene of compli. ci te d misery, goat. and mental degradation which the state of Ireland now reveals? How can a pure stream flow from a sullied fount?

The Paris Papers of the 18th, which arrived last night, contain accounts from Navarin, dated the 20th ult. at which period the Egyptian and Turkish fleets continued to be blockaded in that port. The French frigate Ar mid• had joined the allied squadrons, with dispatches from Constantinople. The nature of these dispatches was not known; but the quertion of peace or war was left exactly where it stood before. The SULTAN had not )et said either yet or no to the proposals that had been made to him by the Allied Powers, but a general belief seemed to meal that an amicable arrangement was not far off. If we may credit the news from Bayonne, in the Moniteer, the Catalonian insurgents were submitting in all quarters to the K tato, and every thing presaged the speedy restoration of tranquillity in the provinces,— The Queen was to join FERDINAND at Valencia, ia the beginning of November, and they were to repair by sea to Barcelona, and afterwards to make a tour through the north of Spain. We have received German Papers this morning.— They contain an article from Odessa, of Sept. 29, the substance of which we gave yesterday ; also advices from Bucharest of the 22J and 30th ult. The decision of the Porte was still unknown at these places, and all was uncertainty. The movements reported to have taken place by the Russian army on the Pruth, and other hostile indications are contradicted. The following ate extracts: VIENNA, Oef.B. The marriage of his Highness Prince Metternich, with Lady Antoinette Von Leykam, has been officially made known here. His Majesty the Emperqr has been graciously pleated to raise the Baroness Antoinette Von Leykam, to the root of Countess of Bei'stein. ODESSA, Sart. t 9. According to Merehanits' letters from Constantinople, dated Sept. 20. the Sultan is reported to have given orders by a Hatti Sheriff to the Grand Vizier, ato convoke an extraordinary Divan, and to lay before it the proposals of pacification made by the three Powers, ' for the purpose of hearing its opinion, whether these proposals are not a mere pretext to endanger the entire existence of the Ottoman Empistin Europe?" Such is the account given by these Merchants letters. To us, however. the whole statement appears to be greatly in need of et:lama:ion. Perhaps there issorne quid pro quo here, and they allude to another Hatti Sheriff addressed to the D lean, which exhorted the Members to fit mnsss BUCHAREST, Sarr. QS. Merchants letters from Constantinople of the 17th relate•that the Rd . ,. Effendi had sent for the Dragomans of :he three Legations, and communicated to them an order of the Sultan to enter into negotiations op the affairs of Greece. Though thii news has been received by several respectable merchants bere, we cannot give it implicit credit, because nothing of the kind has been made known throagh an official channel, which would surely be the case if any important change had takel place. That the Porte, however, wishes for an accom modation, cannot be doubted, and is said to have been affirmed by an English courier. dispatched from Con stantinople to London on the 17th by the British Am bassador to the Porte, and who passed through this, city some days ago.
