I 's of the heinous and abominable crime of high treason of the first class. in the following manner : The Marquis of Palmella, as it is proved in the first place, with the greatest ingratitude, forgetful of the Royal beneficence and magnanimity with which, without his meriting it, be was re ceived and treated by his Majesty, while on his passage through England—which treatment would be sufficient. if bestowed on a man of good birth, to disarm the unjust prejudices and malevolence of which be bad, prior to that time, given notorious proofs; and, laying aside afterwards those senti ments of noble pride and duty that he, a Nobleman of the first class, and representative in Engla ant nd of the Porte saugume ese nation, by the delegation and most benign permis Si nher, owed to the Power under whose orders he served, con sti• toed himself, gratuitously and perfidiously. the chief of all the dissident Portuguese refugees in that country, the head ..iid prime mover of all the plots and schemes which pre ceded the formal insurrection and formal military rebellion of the 16th of May, 1828, in this city of Oporto, and which bad its ramifications in four provinces of this kingdom ; and fur which purpose, making use, for a pretext for his evil intentions, of the Royal Decree of the 3d of May— whereby the said august Senhor bad commanded the Coo vocation of the Three Estates of the kingdom—this criminal, throwing aside the mask, addressed to Earl Dudley, then Minister and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of that Power, the onto rious Protest in the note of the date of the 23d of May, and pub lished immediately in the Liberal papers of London of the 2d, 4th, and sth of the following June, and transcribed sub sequently into the official Gazette of the Rebel Junta of this city, No. 18, with the revolutionary applause which was to be expected from such papers—always disposed, as they are, to injure legitimate Governments. and to calumiate all acts rending to consolidate and to defend the monarchical institutions which are the support of all thrones : the contents of the said note exhibiting, among other things, the daring assertion • that no other proceeding remained for hint (the criminal Marquis of Palmella) but to consider himself no longer the Agent of the Government then ruling in Portugal, until he should receive further instruc tions, which he was about to take measures to procure directly from Rio de Janeiro.' thereby showing that the said criminal had not only abandoned the cause and interests of his native country. but also did not hesitate to become the first to raise—as he did in fact raise—the cry of war against the very Government to which be owed his authority, and of which he was an agent; which note was followed. on the 24th of May in the same year, by another extraordinary and astounding Protest, addressed to the Por tuguese nation, drawn up and signed by the Marquis de Rezende and the Viscount de Itabayana, then resident (and, perhaps, solely for that purpose) at the Court of London, published in the news paper called the Onstage, of the same day (24th), and equally ap plauded by the Revolutionists of this city in their Gazette Estee ordinary', No. 18—which Protest took its rise from the same evil dispositions towards this realm, being the production of the same cabal and confederation of which this criminal was the head, and being written with the same object and spirit; it being to be ob served in this, as a particular circumstance , arising fro m the pre occupation and contrariety of the said Plenipotentiaries, their having included in the number of Acts protested against the Royal Decree of the 13th March, by which his Majesty, in the period of his most glorious Regency. dissolved the Chamber of Deputies in Lisbon, as well as that of the 25th of April, in which the same august Senhor vouchsafed to reply to the representation of the Mu nicipal Chamber of that city, as if the matter of the one and the other Royal Decrees were not within the limits of his supreme power, even in the quality of Regent. Is the second place, it appears from some papers printed, pub lic and official, as annexed to the Appendix, that this criminal, pre cipitating himself from abyss to abyss. had proceeded, soon after, openly to carry on hostile measures against this kingdom and its most happy Government, by recognising Und placing him self under the orders of a handful of abject and despicable Revolutionists, such as those who composed the Provisional Junta established in this city, as is proved from the perusal in the aazette Eatmerdinery, No. 18, of the following official articles, translated from the English newspaper called the Evening Mail, of the 4th of June, viz.—' We know that the Marquis of Palmella received, yesterday, despatches from the Provisional Government established in Oporto ' • and, as it acts in the name of the King , his master, at the rime when the Government of Lisbon does not, his Excellency, without hesitation, has recognised the authority of the Junta. replied to its despatches, and obeys its instructions.' " In the third place, it is proved from the correspondence of the other rebel, Valdez, Rs-Governor of the island of Madeira, which was seized in this city in the possession of his emissary Jose Maria Martiniano da Fonseca. who has been since executed, as annexed to the proceedings in this cause, that this criminal. always indefati gable in his plan of conspiracies and hostilities against these realms, placed himself in contact with the other Revolution ists. and discontented individuals of different countries, and, having formed a rebellion, as it has been 'treacly explained, with all the Portuguese Legation in London. and promoted. as far as lay in his power, the rebellion in this city, plotted, in his perfidious and depraved Council, to withdraw, also, from their lawful obedience to the mother country, the ultra-marine pus. sessi• ns : since it is stated in one of the letters of the traitor Valdez, and written with his own hand to one of the most exalted members of the said nefarious Junta, the Ez- Disem birgador Caldeirs, and dated Funchal, June 30. 1828 :—' I have received a letter from the Marquis of Palmella, dated from London on the 7th lost. containing expressions the most flattering on my behalf, and most interesting to the cause in which we are en gaged : I received one also from Candid° Jose Xavier, of the same date, and from the same place : I have one from the Marquis of Rezende and Viscount de itabayana, of the 12th of May last. I received that of Palmella and Candido when I was giving orders for the formal declaration of this island.' In concord ance with and in explication of the said seditious correspondence the fourth article of the instructions given by the said Valdez to the slid emissary contains the following words Information is to be given that the Marquis of Rezende and the Viscount de Ita bayana have sent official directions to this Government (of Madeira) on the 12th of het May. stating that all the Allies of his Majesty the Senhor D. Pedro had decidedly supported the resolution taken by the island on the 22d of June.' And the 6th article was--` I give also every assurance that, in case of an unfortunate issue in the heroic enterprise of Portugal, all emigrants who choose to take refuge in the island shall be received in it as brothers.'— And, in another seditious paper, written by the emissary and seized in this city in his possession, another passage was found, stating that the emissary of the Marquis of Palmate to Rio de Janeiro had reached Funchal on the 21st of June, at night, and set out on the 2351 with despatches for his Majesty : the emissary of the Marquis of Rezende and the Viscount de Itabayna had reached the 2d of June, and set out on the sd. The result of the whole of which. by a simple combination and collation of the dates of the said publications with the dates of these letters and cones pima -nee, is sufficient to form a conclusive and an evident proof of the revolutionary and hostile object of this monstrous con federation. " In the fourth place it is shown from the original letter, No 4 of the Appendix, and recognised as true by the very person who brought it forward, Lourenco Germach Poston°, Captain of the steam boat Restaurador Lumen°, to whom it was addressed, and by the collation of the writing by the Notary Public, and which was dated in London June 6, last year, in his own handwriting, by the other accomplice and criminal, Joao Carlos de Saldanha, and delivered to the said I'ossollo in Liverpool, where be then was, that this criminal. after having put into practice all the plots and schemes already specified, and having recog nized and made common cause (although absent) with the rebels of this city, proceeded to come in person, and at the head of his other fellow-criminals, to give a finishing stroke to his perfidy, by uniting all his own personal efforts to the rebel forces, as appears from the perusal of the said letter :—" All the Portu guese who have been compelled to quit Portugal, together with the Marquis of Paimella. are to embark at Falmouth on Thursday, the 11th inst. in a steam-boa:. We have to request you to accom pany us, and also that on that day you will he ready at that place, and bring in your company the pilot of the bar of Oporto whom you may think best.' " In the last place, it is proved that the said execrable and infer nal system of hatred, plots, and schemes, which this criminal and his accomplices openly and unhesitatingly carried on, having pro- duced. on the motning of the mournful 26th of June of last year. the rash and moat criminal act of disembarking on the shore at Lavra, two leagues distant ftom this city, trom on board the Belfast, from Falmouth, they proceeded to Mathodehos, and from thence came into this city, escorted by the rebel vo lunteers on horseback, and surrounded by an innumerable mul titude of revolutionists, the greater part being of the dregs of the populace, such as are always figuring away in commetions and civil disturbances ; with which indecent and shameful accompani ment, in the midst of seditious shouts, cries, and gestures, resulting Irons the maddest exultation of revolutionary phrenay, they were conducted to the Casa Pia, which was the place where the infa mous rebel Govcinment held its sessions, and where the traitors within the country soon formed a junction with the traitors coming from abroad—an event, which, while it, on the one band, produced the highest alarm and the most pungent grief among the respectable and faithful vassals and peaceful inhabitants of this unfortunate city, in witnessing such an extraordinary and horrifying spectacle, and seeing a postiou of the Portugueee No bility thus degradingly stained, and associaled in the cause of the execrable and abominable rebellion, was, on the other band, ap plauded. eulogised, ad welcomed, by the impure organ of the rebel newspapers, as a reinforcement and decisive assistance, • • or rather . as • victory, which treason bad already obtained lore the cause of Royalty and Monarchy. as ' of t a in theb said h id No. Xxtraordinary of the then-called ' • Gowns. e sa 96th of June. published where, having enumerated some of the principal criminals who had ar rived from England—at the head of whom was always considered as their chief this criminal, the Marquis of Palmella—this Genetic in several places, and the other rascally newspaper the Zooperciel, stated — That they were then within the walls of this unhappy city of Oporto; an announce ment accompanied with the following ridiculous passage— , That they and many other patriots. listening to the voice of their country. had hastened to come to its succour, and had made their appearance on the fi eld of honour to place their names on the most distinguished places of the Temple of Immortality, where they were already fixed for their noble. loyal, and valiant actions.' " It is furthermore shown that, in addition to this most henious crime, proved as above explained, by the very rebels In their official papers, and witnessed or deposed to as a matter of notoriety and undeniable certainty by the testimonies of the inquiry,3 4,3, 6,2, 17, and 69, this criminal proceeded t o despatch himself, as Commander-in-Chief of the rebel army of observation, as appears from the order dated June 26th, 1112119 issued In the official Gazette, an employment which this criminal accepted and exercised during the few days of his fatal residence in this country ; all which was affirmed bp-competent witnesses and is proved by the Estreerdissery Gamete, where it is stated. to relating the defeat of the said army of operation on the 29th of June, and its retiring to Oliveira (Amish. that the most excel lent Marquis of Palmella and the Conde of Villa nor had come from the army to Oporto, to combine with the Government like. •rinr measures. ' • ss Finally, it is proved, by the oaths of the said witnesses, and it M a fact public and notorious throughout this realm, that the said criminal, after having united himself to the enemies of the King and of the kingdom, as already specified, for the purpose of afford ing to that abominable faction all the aid. support, and co-opera tion in his power, as has been already demonstrated, and knowing that the cause of treason and rebellion was about to be destroyed by the Faithful Army, which, after having fairly beaten titan in the field of battle, was pressing close on them, did. on the • night from the 2d to the 3d of July, clandestinely escape. in the highest state of confusion and disorder, with his infamous accomplices, and others who joined them, on board the steam-boat which brought them. " Such heinous and enormous crimes as have been proved against this criminal render him in many instances guilty of high treason in the must culpable grade, and nothing having been alleged by his Advocate to lessen the penalties to which he is liable, he ought to be condemned with all the rigour of the laws " The sentence proceeds next to state the crime of the Comte of Villa Flor and of General Saldanha, who are pronounced guilty of having come to Oporto, joined and fought with the army. General Stubbs is also accused, at considerable length, of having been im plicated in the disorders which took place In July, 1227, on the oc casion of the dismissal of General Saldanka front the Ministry of War, by the Princess Regent, for which offence he was put on trial before a Court Martial, from which, after having made a sophistical defence, he effected his escape to avoid the sentence, and afterwards came to Oporto on board the Belfast. He Is, therefore, pronounced more than equally guilty. Fran cisco de P..utaAseredo is also condemned for coming from England, and for taking on him the Government of the province of Beira Alta. The Count of Sampayo (Manoel), D. Felippe de Sousa Holstein, brother to the Marquis of Palmella, and Candido Jose Xavier, as having been appointed Members of the Junta, are also pronounced guilty. The Count 'if Taipa and Rodrigo Pinto Pi zarro, are declared guilty, having been employed on the Staff of the Marquis of Palmetto ; Manoel Jose Mendez, and D. Manoel da Camara, for having served as Aides-de-Camp of the Count of Villa Floc ; Thom,. Pinto Slavedra, for having been appointed Aide-de-Camp to Ex-General Stubbs; and Jose Victorino Bar ret* Felo, Inspector of Volunteers of Oporto. The Baron of Renduffe, Manoel Joaquim Berredo Praca, Joao da Costa Xavier, and Francisco Zacarias Ferreira de Aranjo, are pro nounced guilty of an intention to rebel, although not proved to have taken employments under the junta, nor to be in volved in any act other than coming in the steam•boats The two sons of the Marquis of Palmella,—via. the Count of Cantons, and Don Alexandre Maria de Sousa, although the sentence de clares them both minors, and, as such, hot to be capitally pu dished—are not to be exempted from heavy responsibility, as they had reached the years of discretion, were presumed to be well educated, and figured as Attaches to the Ponuguese Lega tion In London "before the rebels attempted to attack the adored Monarch of Portugal." The conclusion of the sentence is as follows " It being proper to punish with all the rigour of the laws those atrocious, abominable, and transcendent crimes of which these criminals have, by this process, been found guilty, which scan dalized and disturbed the realm, tore up the foundations of social harmony, and threatened the destruction of the throne, and the independence of the monarchy ; and it being meet, according to the orders of the same august Senhor, to give the satisfaction due to justice, which had been so highly offended—to give reparation of the public scandal, and a formidable example to revolutionists and consplrators—it is indispensable, and absolutely necessary, that all the said criminals should suffer the punishment which they deserve for their most grievous and horrifying crimes : •' Therefore, and by virtue of the other regulations of the pro cess, they, the criminals—to wit, Pedro de Sousa Holstein, who has been Marquis of Palmella; Antonio Jose de Sousa Manuel e hienezes Severim de Noronha, who has been Count of Villa Flor ; Joao Carlos de Saldanka Oliveira e Dean; Thomas Wil liam Stubbs ; Francisco de Paulo Aseredo; Maned Antonio de Sampayo Mello e Castro Torres e Lusignano. who has been Conde de Sampayo; Felippe de Sousa Holstein; Candid° Jose Xavier; Gastao de Camara, who has been Conde de Taipa • Manuel de Camara; Slum d a Silva Ferrar de Lima e Castro, who has been Baron de Renduffe--being degraded and deprived of all and every titles, privileges, honours. and dignities which they possessed is these kingdoms, of which they are now outlawed and deoaturalized, are condemned, that with the hue and cry they be conducted througb the public streets of this city to the place of the same called Prep Nova, where upon a high scaffold— to be there raised for the purpose of their punishment, being seen by all the people, whom they so much scandalized by their horrible crimes—they are to die a natural death, by being strangled, after which, their heads being cut off, the scaffold and their bodies are to be burned to ashes, and the ashes to be thrown into the sea, in order that of them and of their memory no trace may remain ; sod the other criminals, Rodrigo Pinto Pizarro, Manoel Jose blend's, Thomas Pinto Saavedra, Jose Victorino *lnto Feb.o Manuel Joaquin Berrredo Prase, Joao da Costa Xavier, Francisco de Sampayo, and Francisco Zacarias Ferreira de Aranjo, being also degraded and disgraced in the same manner, ate condemned that they, with the hue and cry, be transported through the public streets, to the same place of the Prep Nova—where, on gallowses to be there erected for that purpose. they are to be hanged, and to die a natural death for ever ; and, after which, their beads shall be there struck off, and fixed on high poles along the road, front Maths,- slaboe to the spot on the shore where they disembarked. and there to remain until consumed by time ; and one and all of the said criminals are condemned to have confiscated and lost to them all their goods and property, the produce of which is to devolve to the Royal Treasury Chamber ; and all the entailed property, feudal inheritance, jurisdiction, or privilege derived from the Crown,are reversed, and effectually incorporated in the Crown again, according to the regulation of the eat Abated laws--(Ordinances, Book v, title 8, paragraph 16,1 nil of the Royal Order of Jan. 17, 1759); —and all the entailed property, consisting in patrimonial estates. shall be possessed by the Treasury during the life-time of the criminals according to the laws of the kingdom. And since the said crimin als ' are at present absent from the country, they are declared and holden to be banished ; and the Magistrates and Justices of his Majesty are commanded to summon the posse of the whole country tor their capture,in order that one of, or all, the people may slay them freely—knowing that they are the banished persons, and not being their enemy. " And in consideration of the well-known minority of the crimi nals, Alexandre Maria de Sousa,Domingos de Sousa, e Holstein and Alexandre Coot/oho, and the regulation of the Ordinance, Book v, title 136, they are condemned to perpetual degradation in the In dian provinces, to the confiscation of, and loss of, the third part of their property, for the benefit of the Royal Treasury Chamber ; and all are condemned to pay the costs of this proce's.

Dispatches, dated the 13th of June, were this day received at the Colonial Office from Lieutenant-General Sir C. CoLvILLE, Governor of the Mauritius. Yesterday afternoon the French steam-packet, the Dec de Bourdesux, arrrived at Dover, bringing his Excellency the Du do LAVAL MODIDICIIIESOCT, Ambassador from Quasars X. to the Court of London. There was jut water enough for his Excellency to land within the Pier at Dover, where be was received by Viscount D'AucigALD of the French Embassy, W•RD, Collector of Customs, and Colonel GOSSBT, wish a Owed of Honour. His Excellency proceeded to the Ship lon under a saline front the heights. from whence beproceeded tame dLtely to London. A large concourse of people was assembled to witness the Duke's landing, who appeased much pleased with the attentions paid him. His Excellency arrived in town in the evening about twelve o'clock. There is a Dutch mail to-day. By it we learn that the following are the contents of the decree of the National Assembly at Argos, dated 3d Aug. by which it approves the answers given by the PRESIDENT of Greece to the English resident, Mr. Dsw KINS, in consequence of the communication of the Protocol of 22d March this year ; and empowers the PRESIDENT to take part in the negotiations relative to the definitive fate of Greece : we will remark upon this decree at a future opportunity. 4. The fourth national assembly of Greece having taken into ma. tare consideration the diplomatic documents, which have bees communicated to it by the President of Greeece, through the Secretary for Foreign Affairs ; having considered, with the same attention, lit, the note dated 18th of May, which Mr. Dawkins. Charge d'Affaires of His Majesty the King of Great Britain, in the name of the Allied Courts, addressed to the Greek Govern moot in communicating the Protocol of 22 March, 1829; Madly, the official note of their Excellencies tbs Ambassadors of Great Britain and FranceolatedSmyrna.ilth June ; sdly. the answers of his Excellency the President of 230 May and sth June, and the above communications. Considering that the government, in undertaking She serious and difficult task of answering these communications, conceived it to be its duty not to deviate from the principles which the National Assembly at Epidaurus laid down for the restoration of Greece, and which were developed in the instructions of 26th April, 1226, which it gave to the diplomatic Committee appointed by it. Considering that the said instructions express the wishes of Greece, as the great interests for which it struggled unalterably require, and as the engagements desnand,wbich Greece entered into before GOD sad Man, as well towards itself as a nation, as to wards every individual of the Greeks, who have sacrificed their fortunes and shed their blood in the sacred defence of their coun try : considering that these engagement are, and must remain In violable, because they are enjoined and enumerated by honour and religion : —the Fourth National Assembly of the Creeks decrees -Ist, The principles which his Excellency the President has fol lowed in the just appreciation of the Allied Courts, in his mani festo of 23d May, and his note of sth June, are approved of in the fullest extent. 2d, Full power is given m his Excellency the President da Capo d'lstrias, to take part is the negotiations, to which the Allied Courts may invite him to agree, on the conditions of the reten tion of the treaty of London ; in this be shall abide by the prin ciples laid down in Art 1, and act on the bases which the Na tional Assembli at Epidaurus agreed to, and according to which the said instructions of 26th April, 1826, are drawn up. id, The conditions which may be agreed upon shall not be bind ing upon the nation. till they are acknowledged and confirmed by its national representatives.

We have the Nurembury Correspondent of the sth instant this day. It contains a sycophantic article about the Emperor NicIIOLAS, dated at Berlin, the 28th Sep tember, commencing thus : " No event, perhaps, has ever so fully answered the wishes of all the people of Europe as the victory of Russia over the Porte." It then proceeds: " By this victory the Emperor Nicholas, if he generously re nounces all conquests, has, however, made one conquest which be will not refuse : he has gained the beans of all the people of Eu rope—the good opinion of his own age, and immortal glory. There is but one opinion here respecting the Emperor, and that is the most favourable that ever a Sovereign enjoyed. He certainly can- not be more loved and honoured In his own country than be is in Prussia. Private letters from General Muffling have been received. When be left Constantinople his health was perfectly recovered, and his commission had been most successfully melded. But Con stantinople was in a dreadful state when he left It : the execu tions were incessant : the Sultan and the dreadful Hussim fancied they saw traitors every where ; and the unhappy victims were put to death on bare suspicion without trial. It may be the necessary task of the present sovereign of the Turks to extirpate parties ; but a man on whom so heavy a load of blood-guiltiness rest., can never ,truly refrain his people; be can never be a pat tern to them, as a Sovereign should be. Only his Innocent son will be able to effect it ; the father can only prepare the soil; the fear which the father inspired can only be changed into love and respect for the sovereign under the son. The Times of this morning says that nothing re markable took place at the Meeting of the Cheshire Whig Club, except one single circumstance ; and that circumstance—all callous as our contemporary has be come to public principle—even he admits to be extra ordinary, and calls it " remarkable." " The circum stance which we think worth noticing"—says this jackal of the gallant Premier—" is the favourable man ner in which Earl GROSVENOR spoke of the Duke of WELLINGTON and the Duke of WELLINGTON'S ad- ministration. We may, we presume, infer from this his Lordship's ADHESION to the present ministry. There will be many more adhesions, if they were wanted, before Parliament meets." We do not quarrel with this self-avowed ministerialist for thus pouncing upon the Noble Earl, and securing him—before he make any qualification or retraction—as a retainer of the Noble Duke : it is in the way of his vocation. But that the degenerate and fallen party should have come to this, moves our pity even more than our indignation. Never mind ! Those Whigs—for there are some yet left—to whom the name of Fox is dear, as the watchword of all that is independent and manly ; those Whigs—for there are some yet left—who scorn to compromise their honour, and set their principles at a price, can well spare the Noble Earl. It were but shaming them, that he should be called longer by their common appellation ; it were but shaming him, after his deliberate secession. Doubtless, the Noble Earl ha. 4 long meditated this abandonment of his old associates, and it is well that there has been no disguise about it. There can be no hesitation, henceforward, on which side —in parliamentary divisions—the name of Lord Gaos v ENOR is to figure : there can be no confounding the Noble Earl, after his declaration at the Cheshire Meet- ing, with the friends of constitutional improvement. At least, it is satisfactory to the people, that they should know who is who, and thus be saved from miscalcula tions and disappointments. If a Bill should be brought in by the Duke of WELLtwarox to mount the PEEL police, and establish the whole thing a la Fouchcl, we know now that he would be sure of the vote and advo cacy of Lord GROSVENOR. To increase the standing army ? Still sure of the vote of Lord GROSVENOR. To suspend the Habeas Corpus, or put down the freedom of the Press? Still sure of the vote and advocacy of the Noble Earl. For those, whose freaks do quail at freedom's frown, Still Tote for fetters, to keep freedom down ! We have no desire to be severe upon the Noble Earl, nor do we impute to him such " freaks" as we have just alluded to : on the contrary, we have been accustomed to regard him as friendly to that popular freedom, " which is like the air we breathe—if we have it not, we die." But the Noble Earl is aware that the Minister, to whom he has thus unnaturally given in his ad hesion, has already displayed many freaks alarming to the liberties of the country ; and he ought to be aware that, in supporting such a Minister, he contributes to endanger the Constitution which he has hitherto professed to venerate, in so much greater a degree, as the addition of his weight and con sequence on the side of oppression can make the arm of oppression stronger. The Noble Earl ought, also, to recollect, that in dedicating himself to the Duke of WELLINGTON, he takes upon himself by adoption the odium of all that Minister's measures; as, indeed, it is but fair that he should, since he has thought proper to sanction them by his public panegyric, and thus make them his own. Lord GROSVENOR, then, has divorced himself from tho people of England, to unite with the Duke of WEL LINGTON, amcng whose satellites—if he have not independence enough to disclaim it—he must henceforth take rank in public opinion. We cannot help observing, that this defection has taken us by surprise; we did not ascribe to the Noble Earl the possession of so much servility—nor so deplorable a defectiveness of in - tellect—as was necessary to such a determina tion. As for the TotLzrs, and the LEYCES TERS, they are small fry in comparison with Lord GROSV ENOR, and we will not waste words upon them : we recommend, however, at their next anniver sary, that they will adopt an apter designation for their body, and one more consentaneous with its avowed principles, than the Cheshire Whig Club. This will be a matter of no difficulty, since it is but to substitute the word " WELSINGTON" for" Whig"—and then—as the coachman of the SOV EREION says—it will be all right ! CITY. Twn.vs o'CLocit.

Our city correspondent expresses him self very eloquently on the subject of the approaching settling day. At present the market appears like a volcano before the eruption. Thursday being settling day in Consols, no doubt the volcano will pour forth its lava. It is expected the Bulls will give the Bears a severe lecture for their temerity. As yet it is impossible to say whether it will turn out a Bull or Bear account. Money is becoming more plentiful. Up to the present hour the Hambro' and Dutch steamers have not arrived ; by the former, it is expected that we shall have the official articles of the Treaty of Peace with the Turks. In the Foreign Market little or no bPsineu doing, therefore correct prices cannot be quoted at present. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE. No speculation of consequence is at present going forward iu the Consol Market ; the only business doing is making up the accounts against next Thursday.
