Consul at Constantinople, had arrived at Coifu on the 20 t h u l t imo, with dispatches for Lord Almanacs; but the nature of the intelligence he brought is not stated. Mr. STRATFORD CANNING intended to leave Poros for Malta on the 18th ult. where the other Allied Ambassadors were expected to follow him. We refer to our preceding columns for a general analysis of the lace campsign in the East, translated from the Jorroal of St. Petersburgh. Its official cha racter, and the relative situation f the parties to whose struggles it refers, confer upon it a h:gh degree of im portance at the present moment. We have received Lisbon Gazettes to the 10th inst. bang siz days later than the accounts which we had previously received through the medium of the French Papers. They communicate no news, beyond the mere tact that Don Micruzr. held a grand Levee on the 6th, when most of the Mambers of the C , u• t were admitted to his presence. He is said, in the language of the Lisbon Gazelle, to have received every body with " the paternal kindness which so eminently characterizes his royal heart," and to have allowed them " to kiss his august hand !" The following are extracts from the German Papers received this morning : TURKISII FRONTIERS, Osmium SO. A few days ago, two 'hundred caissons, coming from Kalarascb, orrivcd in the environs of Bucharest, the further destination of which is not at present known. We are also not informed wlitther they contained ammunition or not, or what is become of the cannon to which they belonged? Count I'ablen boa not yet re turned front Jassy to Bucharest, and, if we may believe the letters from the Russian brad quarters, it is even doubtful whether he will return. A proclamation, in the name of Count Wittgenstein invites the inhabitants of Bucharest, to b ye an eye upon strangers' who arc in Wallachia, and to inform the police what they may have occasion to observe, for which a reward is promised them. FRANKFORT, Sax. IG. The Berlin Papers publish lung extracts from the Greek Dee of 22.1 Nov. the intelligence contained in which is now of little im portance. and relate to insignificant military even), which took place in Eastern Greece from 9 t h to 13 t h N ov . The substance of them is, that the Greek army took the fort of Stevenico, sheared at the distance of three leagues from Livadia, and the convent of Dumber, which was defended by an Albanian garrison, who were made prisoners, with their Commander, Abbas Aga. Ott their being brought to the head quarters, they were sent, at their own request. to their own homes, by way of Zeitoum. The General speaks in high terms of the conduct of ;he Officers and men in an engagement with the Turks before the taking of Stevenico, and especially those who, after the storming of the place, gave quarter to the Turks, of whom 25 were made prisoners. They wet e well treated, and set at liberty the nest day.—Frankfort Papers, .The. 17. VII,IIIA, JAW fl.—Metalliques, 96 3-10; Bank Shares,l,llo - gent tine Zeitung, Jan. 17.

CITY. TWELVE o'CLocr. There appears to be a heaviness in the Cansol market this morn ing, which mry be owing to a report of a change in the French Ministry. Consols opened this morning at 86k k, and at present may be quoted at 86k, with little doing at present. fly the accounts inn* Vera Crux of the 19th of November, which is later than the last information, it appears that S 's insurrection is not as yet put down. he New York Packet of the 94th ult. has arrived; but her letters and pipers has not yet been received. The tariff question appears, by accounts from South Carolina, to be discussed there with great warmth. It is also stated that a tax will he laid upon the divi ends of persona owning stock in the Bank of the United States : this measure has been strongly re commended. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. The fluctuation in the Consul market has been, during the morning, of a very trifling description. Consuls have been ar sellers, and may be quoted to thle hour at 86A to y, and the bu siness doing is of ' or iotpo►:ance. The private letters front PArie, this morning, state that Prince Putiosse will not be one of the new Administration. Up to the present time scarcely a bargain has been done in the Foreign market.

Yestes day the dispatches tot St. Helena, Bombay and China, by t h e ship General Kyd, Captain SAMUEL Sioux, wire cloaca at the Eat.t ludia House, and delivered to the Purser of th 4 ship MEETING OF LIBERALS IN DUBLIN. Concluded from the Sna of yesterday. Mr. W. NAPPRR, of the Coun.y Meath, proposed the next Resolution, which was seconded by Count MAGAULKY, who said, he should but insult the good sense of the meeting, after the eloquent argu ments they had heard, were he to detain them by add ing any thing. Mr. E. Baawice proposed the next Resolution. He said that Grattan had once said Protestants could not be free when their fellow countrymen were enslaved, and in that sentiment he fully participated. The time for repose was gone by, and he celled upon all now to exert themselves in the great cause in which all Irish men weir so vitally intetested. They were called on to come for ward and support the Catholics and oppose Protestant oppression. Mr. Berwick continued to speak at considerable length, and with great eloquence, on the necessity lot the liberal Protestants now coming forward, and proving by their acts the sincerity cf their profession. The Brunswick Protestants, he said, he had more hope of seeing useful to their country than those who, calling thenirelves Liberals, contented themselves with sitting in the id:e enjoyment of the title. My. Baowntoiv seconded the Resolution. He said he was much gratified that the smallest favour should be shown to him, and he begged for its continuance while he addressed them ; for, following so eloquent a speech as that they had just heard, they must be indis posed to listen t► him-llear). He was deligh . ed at finding himself united in such a meeting with his Catho lic and Protestant fellow-subjects—(Hear). If he, in using that expression, had reversed the order of legal precedence given to the Protestants, he was sure that there was not a man who heard him who did not deeply regret that any such a distinction should have been made, and who did not areently hope for the tepee!' of those laws, which had been a cruel and unjust in fliction on the Roman Catholics, and which were dangerous to all the institutions of the Protestants. He d el n..t address himself to the heated passions of his Catholic countrymen, but to Protestants, w horn he conceived to be as virtually interested in tl.e settlement 01 the question, as he, as one from the North, conceived himself to be. They were placed in a station they could not long occupy. When any people settled theni•elves in a strange land or place, they naturally endeavoured to gain the good% ill of all their neighbours, but the Pr o 4 testants of Ireland bad set the whole people agaust them —they were As a handful 01 men surrounded by a cloud of enemies. The law h.,d made them its pet children, and had naturally raised them a host of enemies. Nlueli had been said of the plans of economy in contemplation by the Ministry, but they were all paltry and pitiful in comparison to the incalculable expense the country in curred by the misgovernment of Ireland—where an army infinitely greater than that employed in all India WAS compel,ed to be maintained to curb the national discontent resulting Irons opi cession —(Heat) He knew that when he returned to the North be should be told that he had compromised his station in mix.ng himself with the Catholic Agitators; he came there to unite himself with men who had the same objects in view that he had for the safety of the country, and he felt no imputation c st upon liens. Did the question de mand a settle.oeet? Had they good hopes that that sett ement would b e speedy ? He thought that they had ; and to •xliom were they indebted for the present imp sing station it occupied, but to tho se C a th o li cs w h o , leaving the lore r f country, the talent, and the energy, have been cueistaotly labouring in the cau.e—(Cheris). He spoke from experience of the effects their efforts had produced on the minds of many Protestants— Meal). they had effected much on the minds of many English P. otestAnt., who were COnSt Intl) , at their post. in Par liament. It was he Catholic Agitators who had brought it to its present imposing manhood. With them l'i..- testants, Anzio/is tot their country's good, should join. It would be base to make difhcul its e t trifles, and no uch consideration should separate him from his Ca. *holm countrymen; at all times and in all places the great question must be pressed on the notice of the Legislature. It could not be buried, and t: e could nut comprehend the riddle Ireland had been given to solve, in the 1, tie' giving such advice. Mr. B. moved the r:soltilion, and sat down amid cheers. S:f CIIAIiLkS STYLES seconded it. He would not eccupy mi., e than a minute of the time r f the Meting ; but he could not help congiatdating I eland on the feeling evinced that uay ; fie hope.i it wt uld be dated as the beg.mung of a ire era in her history ; he hoped that it would have its effezt in producing temperance, for there es a, such muse meeptions abroad respecting the ben, tio to be derived by the E naticipation of tie Catholics. (shiny considered that it would exclusively benefit Cub ,lies. and even them bur in a blight degree —hut how grossly were they mistake;,—all would reap incalcOlab.e benefits in the perfection of the peace and and gondola it would produce among the people, ill country so biessed by ()vide:ice in all the bounties of n stun. The Earl of flown' moved 'he nest resolution, which was ,econded by Trioarsa F T C.D. who said, he felt a,deep interestin the fate of the p et i t i, n i t prop,.sed—i t sought, he was couvii , ced, n.ahin g more than was necessary tt.r the salety t.i E ,, gland ; he regretted much that an indis -I.o,itiot, prevented his giving utterance to his sentiments; Vie feelings he lit 1.1 on the subject he believed to be those which all must have who cousideted the ques:Ln Inn e,tly and I Ail 17. Lord GLEmostta. said, the miseries of Ireland had at allied a height at which they could not remain —she must ere long be irretrievably ruined, or regenerated, and he thought the latter and brighter h t would soon be hers, for seven millions were riot so soon destroyed. Her regeneration would take place when those seven millions could claim an equal share, and should have an equal intere,t in her prosperity. He hoped ere ling to see Ilis'Grace, attended by the Nobles of the land, by one touch el his chisel, finish the incomplete testimonial to the glory of Wellington, and make it a lasting re• cord ot his triumph, by inscribing on it "the Emanci pator"—(Cheei.). His L , rdship concluded by moving an Address to the King, which being read by Mr. Tho mas Wyse, was unanimously adopted. Mr. 1) BROwNE said, he shnuld not be justified in detaining the Meeting, but he could not help saying that he considered the question as misnamed when called the Catholic Question—(Hear). It was one in which five-sevenths ot Ireland, and two•thirds of the population of Great Britain, were deeply interestei. He had attended many Meetings, but none with so much pleasure as the present, where he saw so many Protestant Gentlemen, of rank and talent coming lir w aid in the cause of their Catholic countrymen. The Hon. F. PONSONEY moved the next Resolution, and said he trusted the friends of Ireland would act by the patting advice of Lord ANGLESEY. Mr. W.CRAWFORD seconded it. He said, in this :e.ison of polit.cAl tumult it uas highly gratifying to see so many Assemble for so benign and liberal a pur pose—while Minister: of the Gospel were assembling to cAll for blood. ' Mr. Stuns supported the Resolution, and it pts,ed A number of other Resolutions were proposed and seconded by Lord Killeen, Mr. Jephson, M-P. Mr. Leader, Mr. Tighe. 1.0. rd Clanmott is, Colonel W , steno*, Mr. Power, Mr. R. Roe, Hon. Mr. Preston, and Mr. Chancellor. filAsa - !crow ROWAN said, all Irishmen had but to become united, as he had been, and they must save their country. His Grace the Duke of LEINSTIM then came for w aid and said, the business of the day having con cluded, he was prepared to hear the Gentleman who had been desirous of addressing him—but he had left the Meeting. Lnrd Miwrox took the Char, and Mr. O'CosNat.c moved the thanks of the Meeting to his Grace the Duke of Limier, which was seconded by Mr. Sheil, and passed with loud acclamations, when the Meeting br"ke up. During the Meeting a letter was received from the Marquis of Conyngham, deeply regretting his being unable to support the re: ►lotion: in person, which met his fullest concurrence. THE ARMY.

IX-PASTE ATKINSON. Mr. C. F. Wtwasissippeated to shim, cause again t a rule for an hakascorpes, obtained by Mr. F. Pollock to coal& Mr. Atkinson to have the custody of one of hi. children. This application, it appeared. ato e out of certain disputes which had taken place between Mr. Atkinson and his wife, the latter of whom ha I insti tuted proceedings against Mt. Atkinson in the Etc'esi astical Court for s divorce. The particulars of the case have beta already repotted. The Learned Counsel (Mr. William.) stated the matter was originally bef nit the Court iu the year 1824, when a refesence was made to two of the Judges, who. by t h ' it order, directed that the mother should hate tea.onab:e access to the chil dren, and Mr. Atkinson had, in violation of th it order, withdrawn the children to France. Tne child whion he now wished to base deliveted up, was at p e rut wider the ca:e r f its mother, aad it could nit be given sip to the fiber without the g'eattst danger to its present and fu lire happiness. Mr. F. Por•LUCe sitated .hat terms of arrangement had turn proposed on the part of Mr. Atkinson, wr•rch Mr-. A I kinbon lad detlineJ to accede to. Mr. Atkin son had rt moved his children to France on *moot of hi. straitened circumstances, but he had shown hi hie conduct that he did not wish to prevent his trite f•orn having access to them. He had sent up Lis .lii d to her under a pledge that it should not be kept hoot hirr, hut that pledge had been br..ken. The principal point in dispute between the parties was the tegoi•iti n of M.. A kinson that th. uncle of the child should not hare access to .t. If that paii,t were conceded on the part of Mts. Atkin on, she might have het own terms in the other part of the arrangement. The Court exptess, d its destte that t 'pat tie- thould, if pos.iole, stifle their chi:felt net s let Wrell themselves, and not press fin its intesfetence to such a case a. this. Lord I .
