. nterests of every province and every citizen in one—that of the iistional and political restoration of Greece. However difficult that project may appear, and however weak our personal means snay he, we do not doubt that we shall accomplish it c for we reckon on the co-operation of the Senate, and that of all the citizens, who are, like ourselves, deeply penetrated with the feeling of their duties. If, as a•e wish to hope, that feeling stifles all the germs cf discord which the unfortunate events of the past may have left—if all the citizens, in harmony with the public functionaries, labour in supporting order, which is so indispensable for the public well-being—we ought to hope with the greatest confidence that the Loan, in his mercy, will bear the prayers of Greece. Let us still believe that the Allied Powers will do every thing in their power to accomplish our desires, at a moment when they are redoubling their efforts to terminate the great work of the pacification of the Levant. You return to your homes, Gentlemen, and you will give to your fellow citizens information as to the present situation of affairs—you will explain to them the metsures which the Go vernment have authorised you to take gradually to introduce ameliorations—you will strengthen them in the hope that the ter mination of their sufferings approaches. We have informed you, by a Proclamation, of the negotiations which have been begun here, and I must tell you, Gentlemen, of my gratitude ; it is not limited to words, and I hope to be able to prove it by deeds. My zeal and my, attachment, which shall always be un limited, assure me of success ; and my efforts shall always tend to accomplish the sacred duty imposed on me by the confidence with which the nation has, through you, deigned to honour me." The speech of the President was received with acclamation. FIRS= FUNDS.—Rentes Five per Cents, 107 f. 50e. 35c. Four and a Half per Cents.lo3l. 25e. Three per Cents. 81f. 80c. Bank Actions, 1,855 f.

The official news of the signing of the Treaty of Peace between his Majesty the Emperor of Russia and the Ottoman Pone was received here yesterday. All friends of the general tranquillity, with which the welfare of all the several States is inseparably con nected, must feel the most lively interest in this great event. The conditions of the peace comprehend all the questions which for some years pan have been the subject of debate in the East ; and the termination of the eventful contest, brought about by splendid military successes, will give to all Europe well-founded hopes of a long series of years of peace.—Austrian Observe►, Oct• 29. ADRIANOPLE, SM. 14. Peace was signed this morning by the Russian and Turkish Plenipotentiaries; Commissioners will immediately go to inform Count Paskewitsch of this happy event. Orders will also be sent to the Turkish Commanders to cease hostilities. This news has not given pleasure to the inhabitants of Adrianople, who, since the arrival of the Russians, have enjoyed tranquillity and security, but fear, probably with reason, that when they with draw, some re-action may ensue. Many families, Alahomedan as well as Christian, are preparing to leave the city on the retreat of the Russians, and to fix their residence iu the Principalities, for which they are said to have obtained the permission of the Russian General-in Chief. All property belonging to the Ottoman Government is now sending away northwards to Aldus and Sills tria. In the course of the war the Porte has lost above 2,000 cannon and 200,000 muskets. The Turks have also sustained a great loss in fine stallions and mares, which will be a valuable ad dition to the Russian studs. Tt is said that for some time past there has been a formal suspension of arms at Shumla, and that it depended solely on the will of G 1 Kranowsky to make him self master of the place.-42gemeine Zeitung, Oct. 5. BERLIN, OCT. 3. An Extraordinary Supplement to the Journal of St. Pdersburgh, o!' the 24th of Sept. announces that the Emperor, foreseeing tbat the passage of the Balkan by our victorious troops would make it ossible to communicate directly over land with the beet under Admiral Heyden, gave orders to the latter to assemble his fleet in the Gulf of Saros, and send some light vessels to cruise off Enos, in order to apprise the fleet by signals of the approach of the troops by land. The following journal of the operations from the T2d to the 30th of August (3d to 1I th of Sept.) and the report of Couut Diebit4o, shew that these orders of bis Majesty have been successfully executed. JOURNAL OF THE OPERATIONS FROM TUE ZD TO THE 11TH OF SEPTEMBER (N.S.) "The first paragraphs relate to the occupation of several villages by detachments from Adrianople, viz. Chamanli, where the inha bitants were at variance with each other ; Demotic°, where the inhabitants having taken up arms were disarmed by order of Gene ral Siewers, who reached that town on the 4th, in his way to Enos, to open a communication with Admiral Heyden ; to second this movement, Major-General Schremrgetyff was ordered to oc cupy Trajanople, but the place not being found convenient to com municate with Enos, he was ordered to take a position at 'pieta. " Sm. 6.—Tbe 6th corps of infantry marched front Adrianople to Lule Bourget. " SalT. 7.—Admiral Greigh announced the taking of Midia on the 29th of August. " Sam B.—Major-General Begislcif, with his Cossacks, reached Karistan, where he took a position for the night, and the 6th corps errered Lule Hourgas. " Syr& 9 —Count Pahlen reports that he left the position occu pied by thr 21 corps, near Kirk-Kilissa, and entered Vera 6th in quit. " Reports from General Krassovrsky of Ist to 4th September, relate some occurrences near Shumla, and state that notwithstand ing the well-supported fire from the enemy's outworks, the opera tions of the siege were prosecuted with success. " Report from Gen. Diettitsch Salazikansky to the Emperor : " Sum—With a view to open a communication with your Ma jesty's fleet, under Admiral Heyden, I sent a regiment of Hulans, with four pieces of horse artillery, to Enos, under Gen. Siewers; and to support him, and facilitate the communication with Adria nople, I sent a regiment of Hulans to Ipsala, and another to De motic°, each with two pieces of horse artillery. General Siewers, oi. occupying Enos, was to make the concerted signal to one of our ahips to approach the coast, and to take on board Captain Mukha rioff, one of my Aides-de-Camp, to carry my dispatches to Admi ral Heyden. " Major-General Siewers reports, that on his march to Enos all the inhabitants cf the villages came to meet him, and expressed their sincere wish to live in peace; that they gave up their arms without resistance; and that 1,500 Turks, sent by the Pacha of Saioniebi, under the command of his own son, to occupy Enos, bad dispersed on learning the rapid advance of the Russians to that place. Part of the detachment having gone through the village of Kishan towards Constantinople, was pursued by Gen. Siewers and dispersed—SO were made prisoners. " On reaching Enos the General learned that the Ayan was re solved to defend himself in the citadel to the last extremity, and had compelled the inhabitants to leave their houses and take arms, and had ordered the Greeks not to go to meet your Majesty's troop:. " Major-General Siewers sent on the 6th (the day of his arrival) an officer of the staff to propose a capitulation, and meantime recon noitred the town and citadel ; the latter seemed well calculated for defence ; it is on a high and very steep mountain, sur rounded with walls, in some places fifteen fathoms high, and so thick that field pieces could not possibly make a breach in them; the citadel has but one gate, the only access to which is through a narrow and crooked street of the town. " The officer returned with the answer 'that the Ayan would surrender the town and citadel but on two conditions which could not be accepted. He evidently sought to gain time to receive reinforcements. He promised, however, to come to General Siewers the next day to end the negotiations. The darkness of the night prevented us from attempting any thing against the enemy. As the Ayan did not skew himself in the morning, General Siewers resolved to go round the east side of the town, and occupy an eminence whence the enemy might be molested with grenades; and if this should not suffice, to storm the gate of the citadel, and dismount the hulans, whom he armed with muskets taken trom the Turks on the march. The Ayan seeing these proceedings. and feeling convinced that a storm would be attempted, came to meet the General, and sur rendered the citadel and the town, the inhabitants of which were immediately disarmed. 'ate trophies taken at Enos are 25 large and 29 small cannon, ZO barrels of powder, and 2,000 cannon bails and grenades. _ _ " I have the honour to send the keys and the standard of Enoe, transmitted to ma by General blowers. " Captain Mukhaaoff has sailed from Enos on board the Tele mulatto brig, with the dispatches for Admiral Hayden. (Signed) . 4 Count UIEBITSCH SABA LKANSKY. " Adjutsat-,Gesteral. " Adrianople, Sept.

Our readers will perceive in the next page an account of the Anniversary Meeting of the old Cheshire Whig Club: GEORGE TOLL ET, Esq.-1 panegyrist of the Duke of WELLINGTON—took the Chair, and was supported on his right and left by the Earl of GROSVENOR, and Mr. RA LPII LEYCESTER. In many eyes, these details will appear scanty and un interesting, but to us they opek a melancholy vista, which we cannot contemplate altogether without emo tion. The guilty silence of the Noble Earl—when Parliamentary Refarin was t►he theme—on the subject of the late occurrences at Newark, tells more eloquently than could a trumpet-tongue with what a corrupt inter adherence the boroagh fiction holds together. " He was friendly to the transfer of the franchise from decayed boroughs to large towns ; and if Manchester and other towns could not be represented by this mode, he was of opinion that a distinct Act should be passed, conferring this right upon them." This was the sum total of Lord Gaosv EN° it's sentiments upon REFORM : it was with such a solitary and brief allusion, that he was contented to escape from that paramount and imperious question. There were other topics, however, upon which the Noble Earl was unnaturally fluent, and these were the res geste of the Noble and Gallant Premier, as well at home as abroad. He praised him for his economy ; he praised him for his retrenchment ; he praised him for his Irish intentions; he praised him for his EASTERN POLICY. " The Noble Lord concluded by saying, that he thought that within the last few years things had taken a great turn in favour of this country ; and he hoped that Ministers would seize the present opening for fixing our prosperity upon a permanent basis!" The Noble Earl may call himself WHIG, and we dare say that he is one, in the spirit of the definition given at that very meeting by Mr. TOLLET—in whose opinion there was little difference between a Whig and a moderate Tory." But this is not the " Whig" whose principles the Noble Earl and his friends affect to consecrate, when they drink in silence the me-, mory of CHA It LES JAMES Fox: this is not the" Whig' to whose recollections the country still clings with a fond attachment, and at whose hands even now—in prefe rence to newer patriots, and from the sacredness of asso ciation—it would receive the boon of purified institutions with feelings of enhancing gratitude. Regeneration is not to come from Cheshire. After the example set by the Noble Earl, nothing Minis terial ought to surprise us in the proceedings of the Che shire gentlemen : in fact—under the cloak of a Whig anni- versary—it was a positive ministerial dinner. It will be seen, at the end of our short report, that " Mr. LEYCESTER, rose amid loud cheering—llE WARMLY EULOGISED THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON !" No doubt of it. The sagacity of our now-a-days Whig patriot, is like the scent of a double-nosed pointer against the wind : And, oh—in Downing-street Yhould OLD NICE revel, England's Paws Misterss-441 blest Me devil We to-day exhibit, in another part of our paper, the Official Account of the Revenue, both for the Year and Quarter ending on Saturday last, the 10th inst. The result affords no grounds either for congratulation or de spondency—the differences— whether of increase or de crease—being only such as are always liable to result in an Account of such variety and magnitude, from tran sient and supervening causes, without in the slightest de gree affecting the question of the general condition of the country. Lisbon Gazettes to the 27th September have been this day received ; but they contain no news of interest. The Correio do Porto of the 21st, contains the sentence pro nounced against the 21 individuals, who came from Eng land in June, 1828, on board the Belfast steam-boat. They are all condemned to be degraded from their rank ; to be executed on the Praco Nova ; and afterwards their heads to be cut off: the bodies of some of them to be burned, and the ashes cast into the sea : their heads exposed on the road from Malozurhos to the sea coast, where they landed ; and there remain till they decay with time. The property of all of them to be confiscated to the Royal treasury. The Allgenzeine Zeitung to the sth October, received t his day, has a communication from Smyrna of the 30th August, in which we have some further speculations on the terms of the treaty of peace between the Russians and Turks. These we subjoin—just as we receive them —without vouching for their accuracy. The same paper has likewise a private communication from Constanti nople, dated the 11th September, giving a most revolt ing. account of the executions in that city of the insur gent Janissaries, and other mal-contents. The follow ing are our selections : SMYRNA, Aua. 38. The Courier de Smyrna, in an article from Constantinople dated Xsth of August, after noticing the sending of the Turkish Plenipo tentiaries to the Russian head-quarters, says—•' it is certain that the Sultan has accepted the Treaty of the 6th July, on the follow ing basis. The boundaries, according to the Protocol of the 16th November, 18211 ; a tribute proportioned to the revenues which the Porte received, before the revolution, from the provinces now declared free ; the Greek troops to be limited to the number ne cessary for preserving internal order; only such Greeks as are born in the Mores shall be allowed to go thither from the Sultan's dominions; the fortresses of Mores shall be delivered up to the Porte with their cannon, &c. in the same condition as at the time of the evacuation. As for the conditions which the Plenipotentiaries have to propose on the part of the Sultan, they are said to be in substance as follow :—The integrity of the Ottoman empire; free navigation for Russian ships front the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmora, and vice versa, so far as this freedom is compatible with the integrity of the empire ; the acceptance of the Treaty of London; the punctual execution of all the stipulations of preceding Treaties, especially that of Akermann ; lastly, the final adjustment of all private claims which have been brought for ward on the part of Russia for several years past, the investigation and satisfaction of which will shortly take place at Constantinople. The Sultan is still in the camp at Ramid ; and the tranquillity of the capital is undisturbed. CONSTANTINOPLE, San. 11. The trw conspiracy of the Janissaries was defeated just before it was to have broken out. The object is said to have been to murder all the great men of the empire, and all the Franks now here ; and to restore the ancient order of things. They were pro- ceeded against with the firmness peculiar to the present Go vernment. The occupation► of Adrianople, perhaps, heightened the courage of the Janissaries, on the supposition that they would be supported by the Russians ; as even the beads of the Guilds, who were always connected with the Janissaries, positively refused to obey the order for all Nlussulmen to take arms. At this critical moment began the arrest and execution of the chiefs of this con spiracy at Daud Pacha, where the Seraskier resides. When they were got rid of, the execution of the others at Constantinople coin maned ; and there are still daily executions here at the corners of the streets, and in the market places. Several coffee-houses fre quented by the conspirators were pulled down. The executions take place in a new manner. I have witnessed several. For merly, the criminals were beheaded, standing with their hands tied behind them—the executioner holding by the hair of the head; now, they are made to kneel—their bodies bent forward—and the head bare. The executioner puts an olive in their mouths, makes them a speech in their fashion, and Boo rishes his sabre several times, as if he were going to strike. In many issuances this continued some time. probably to prolong the criminal's fear of death. In others the speech was very short. The sabre is two feet and . a half long, curved towards the point; the executioner wields it with both hands, with such ease, that the point always struck against the pavement. The head, which soma times rolled several paces, was placed under the criminarsarm,with the face turned towards the feet. The heads of those who were not Turks were placed at their feet. A label in the form of a heart stated the crime of the delinquent : it was fixed on the body, and both left exposed. Formerly, the exposition was for three days ; but now, the bodies are cast into the sea the following morning. The number of those lately executed is said to exceed 500. Among them are sixteen of the chiefs of the guilds. All the others are deprived of their offices. A Jew, who bad a love intrigue with a Turkish female, was hanged. A Greek was beheaded for saying to a tailor." Se you still make the.. growers," via. for the new re gular troops. A Turkish woman was hanged in a sack for attempt. iog to fire a house. The same fate was allotted to two Turks for attempting to set fire, a fortnight ago, to the Sultan's new palace, en the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus. Only one instance is known in which the Seraskier, who directs the investigation, showed some indulgence : pardon was not to be thought of. One of the Janissaries begged for his life—saying he had a wife and children to support. The Seraskeir sent for him, and said. " Your children are now my children ; and your wife shall receive, monthly, sallicient foe her support. You may there fore be easy." The children were immediately sent to the Harem of the Seraskier, but the father was beheaded. It is said that on the occupation of Adrianople, certain Greeks were guilty of acts of violence to some Turks, and pulled them by the beard; but that they were punished by the Russians with the knout. That indefatigable democrat, WILLIAM COBBETT, has adventured upon very extraordinary ground for him —namely, a criticism upon SD AK S PEARE—in the last number of his weekly farrago. When we admit that we have often been greatly edified and enlightened by his masterly essays, which have rushed upon us with a tide of conviction—upon the currency question, especially-- as overpowering from their forceful simplicity of lan guage, as irresistible from their complete knowledge and exposition of the subject matters, we only do justice to the most argumentative pen that has perhaps been ever wielded in political discussion. We wish only that its character for ingenuousness could bear comparison with its power in argument: then, indeed, were COBBETT immortalised, as the first benefactor of his generation. But, to meddle with SIIAKSPEARD--COBBETT, the unimaginative, the matter-of-fact apostle, the derider of elegance, the decrier of fancy, the clown's vade mecum, the oracle and representative of the vuIgar—COBBETT —to meddle with the BARD of Avow : as if his rugged and unrefined sympathies could ever congenialise with that ethereal spirit ! It is not, however, because COBBETT has thought fit to pass a critical opinion on SUAKSPEARE, that we take exception : far from us the illiberal doctrine, that only polished natures can sit in judgment on the claims of genius. There may be at this moment —and no doubt there are—thousands of minds in the lower grades of the community, yet formed and fitted to range in a superior orbit; capable of seizing the most delicate intellectual beauties, and ap prehending with a quick sense and fine perception the divinest abstractions of poesy. Neither is it so much because we deny this capacity to COBBETT, and hold him of all men—as well from his previous habits and asso ciations, as from his coarse and savage idiosyncracy—the least qualified to give a sincere or sound judgment in such a matter, that we deem it important to take notice of hint. It is the motive, which actuates this great political seducer to go out of his path for a special pur pose, which we contemplate with equal pain and disgust. Unable .to relish the refinements of SHAKSEEARE hint self, but aware that he teems with grand moral incuka lions, a familiarity with which must make the mind enamoured of our country's institutions, and impress it with a love of social order—and, therefore, unfit it in a proportionate degree from becoming an instrument in his hands to Americanise the British nation—he holds him up as an object of contempt and avoidance to the youth of those industrious orders, among whom his Register principally circulates. He knows the hold which he possesses over the uneducated and inexperienced in those numerous classes, and he uses that influence to corrupt them systematically, under the insidious mask of advice and direction for their future conduct and guidance in life. He represents the fame of SitAxse EARE as by no means arising from the excellence of his dramatic pro ductions, but derived entirely from a fashionable conven tion, to repute him the first of poets. It ought to have been mentioned by us, in the outset, that COBBETT is publishing, in the shape of cheap Tracts—to promote the grand object for which he has been writing nearly half a century—AnvlCE TO You x 6 MEN, in weekly numbers, and to YOUNG Wom I x , also ; and that these pamphlets are of course made the vehicles of his peculiar precepts and inculcations. In one of these, which appeared on the first of September last, be related—in that style of argumentative disparagement of SIIAKSPEARE, which no one knows how to insinuate s.) convincingly into a young mind as he does—the well remembered incident of the IRELAND forgeries. In the hands of such a shrewd logician as ConneTT, here was an occurrence, wherefrom—without much difficulty—ii might almost be proved that black is white ; of course, this is understood with a due allowance for the capacities of those whom he addresses : and he certainly made the most of the story. It is this story of the IRELAND forgeries, re published in his Register of Saturday, which now elicits from us these observations. He heads it, in large letters. the SII KSPEA RI: HOAX ; and introduces it by express • ing his " contempt of those, who, by enthusiastic men, or knavish traders in plays and pamphlets, have been in duced to look upon the plays of this old author as some thing almost divine." " But what I have been most anxious about is, to prevent, as far as in me lay, youth from being corrupted in their taste by the fashion of praising, almost adoring, the writings of this poet." The history of the production of Vortigern and Rowena is too familiar in the recollection of our readers, to make it necessary to do more than allude to it here : suffice it to say that COBBETT has told it in his own way, and yet, without any falsification of the facts. To attempt, however, to infer from this incident, that SHAKSPEARE has been over-rated, and that his genius could be rivalled by a boy —or, that it ever has been ri valled at all—is beginning at the wrong end. Surely, those persons—distinguished as some of their names were who composed the SHAKSPEARE CLOS:IT on that oc casion—may with much greater verisimilitude be held to have been incompetent judges, than that SIIAKSPEARE should have maintained so long his unarraigned pre eminence, without any entitling genius to support him in his " pride of place ?" It is to be remarked, also, that there were mechanical ingredients entering into that de ception, of a nature peculiarly calculated to predispose to romantic opinions, and affect the judgment through the agency of the imagination. The imitated ink and paper of the seventeenth century were so perfect, that Sir ISAAC HEARD—who was a member of that memorable .JURY—pronounced them genuine manuscripts of the Elizabethan age : and when, along with such an ascer: tainnient, the spot of asserted discovery came to be coupled, the decision from external evidence appears to have quite superseded an attempt at internal investigation. Nor do we conceive—their minds being once satisfied by the concurrence of outward proof—that the determina tion to which they came in any wise impugned their cri tical acumen. For they were carried, by the strong de monstration of facts, to the declaration of an independent conviction, which no inferiority nor inequality in the manuscript before them could by possibility influence. They knew besides, that all great writers are at some periods unequal to themselves, and oven that this play might have been the raw composition of untutored boy hood. But to suppose that they meant—when they de cided for the genuineness of that document—to atlirm itii rivality with the extant works of SHAK6PEAUE, is greatly to misunderstand the evidence upon which they pronounced it genuine. On evidence of precisely the same sort to-morrow—provided only it could be assembled unsuspiciously before us—we might ourselves pronounce the exercise of a modern schoolboy to be original HORACE himself ; and yet, after all, be no such despicable judges of Horatian elegance. We had no design when We set out with the name of collar:17, to travel so far out of our strict record, as we have; we purposed to confine ourselves to his political motive for misrepresenting and maligning SHAKSPLARE but we could not resist altogether the fascination of the collateral question. We knew WIL LIAM HENRY IRELAND well, and have heard more than once from his lips the narrative of this fabrica tion. It was an effort manifestly suggested by the more splendid and successful forgeries of CHATTER TON; nor did it strike us as being more censurable in the imitation than in the precedent—except that With IRELAND it originated in the miscalculations of self-conceit, whereas in CHATTERTON it was a glo rious ambition, of which the consummation was hand maid to the conception. Doctor PARR, Doctor WHAR TON. Sir ISAAC HEARD, JOHN KEMBLE, RICHARD BRINSLEY SHE al DAN, were amongst those who pronounced Vortigern and Rowena to be the un doubted manuscript of WILLIAM SHABSPEARE: not—as we have already shown—from any intrinsic identifications, which justified for it the glory of such a distinction, but because they were overcome to conviction by the continence of irresistible outward circumstantial ties alone. Let not COBBETT, therefore, starting from mush inad- a
