as the Treaty itself—that IS as long as mutual harmony cond.. need between the contracting parties ; and yet, et this very m°• ment, the Porte has openly violated all the several Treaties by concluding another in pato. without consulting any one of the par ties interested in the affair, and they are declared to be bound by a Clause exactly contrary to the contents of the primitive stip& cation.. Their consent is not demanded—it is presumed; the right is nothing—the fact alone is proclaimed. - Each of the above Powers believed the passage of the Bosphorus guaranteed to its commerce, as long as it should continue to be in peace with the Porte; but no. all of a sudden it appears that Rends shares thei rights of the Sultan, that no treaties are annulled, and that if it wages war with Russia, the Dardanelles are shut to its vessels. One would have thought, that if fear determined the Grand Seig nior to accept blindly all the conditions imposed upon him, the Russian negociator ought to have been moderate in his demands; ;be ought to have reckoned as something the rights of other Powers, and have recalled to the remembrance of the Sultan the execution precedent treaties, supposing him to be disposed to forget them. The Journal du Commerce publishes a long article la the form of a letter, addressed to It by AL Feline, the author of several pamph lets on the affairs of the East. 41. Feline Is decidedly of opinion that France ought to take part with England and Austria, against Russia. He asserts, that neither Austria nor France can hope to maintain their independence, unleu they support one another against the ambitious projects of R ussia. He endeavours to prove that an alliance with England can never be f •tal to the commerce or the industry of France—that, on the contrary, it would give it a flew stimulus. The Camara/ionisei says, that the Marchioness de Santos, well known as the mistress of Don Pedro, is on the point of quitting the Brazils to come and reside in France. Front the Gazette de France, dated Thursday. Several Papers have published a ridiculous article relative to the pretended death of Sir Hudson Lowe, formerly Governor of St. Helena. This officer is Lleutetiant-Gevertior of Ceylon at the mo ment that the liberal papers are killing him at Ale la Chapelle, where they represent him as abandonded by the whole world, and as dying in the most frightful torments. They add. that Sir Hudson Lowe had taken the name 9f Hudson alone, in order that he should not be recognized. In the first place, Sir Hudson Lowe having only done his duty while he was at St. Helena, in fulfilling the instructions of his Government, be is well assured of not being abandoned either by his Government or his countrymen. In England such men are never abandoned. As to the change of name for fear of being rocognised, Sir Hudson Lowe is incapable of such a piece of cowardice. Previously to his setting out for his Government for the first time, he came to Paris and appeared in all places of public resort; he went, indeed, so far in this respect, that his friends began to fear that he might at length become the victim of liberal vengeance.

Tyr Csiwrrnsuisa Jonarat is requested to receive our apolo gies for the mistake which occurred yesterday in our office, in copy ing—as from the Cheltenham Chronicle—ln a part of our impression —the interesting article entitled 4 * Tam Maw or Ls:sou to CHIL. TINNAII," which was taken from the CMILTIENHAK JourataL. Dispatches were this day received at the Colonial Of Ice, in Downing-street, front the Right Honourable the Earl of CIIA.TiI Am, Governor of Gibraltar ; and from Lieutenant-General the Hon: F. C. PONSON BY, Go vernor at Malta. Dispatches are anxiously and hourly expected at the Colonial Office from the Right Hon. Sir FREDERICK A 1) A m, Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Isles. NVe invite the attention of our readers to a very valuable communication from Madeira, illustrating the system of government pursued in that interesting island. The rumours from Constantinople—contained in letters dated so late as the 20th of September—that the whole western part of Rumelia, and all Bosnia and Albania are in insurrection against the SULTAN and the Russian army. are by no means destitute of probability. At the premit, however,.we attach to them no greater credit, than unconfirmed reports—for which it is not difficult to see that a foundation may exist in reality—can justifi ably claim. If the report were true, to the fullest extent of the insurgent numbers stated-35,000 men—it would avail nothing towards the redemption of the prostrate empire. The facility and rapidity with which the army of the victorious General can be reinforced by the Black Sea communication, render all insurrectionary struggles unless aided by plans of external co-operation—desperate and useless. It is but five days from Odessa to Bourgas; and with the squadron of Count HEY DEN to support him on one flank, and Admiral GREIG it to protect him on the other, the position of DIESITSCII ZARALK ANSII - -• till the arrival of any required reinforcements—would be safe in whatever emergency. At the same time, it ought to be remarked as a curious fact, that we should be inundated with these warlike reports so immediately upon the heels of a pacific pro mulgation ; and we beg our readers to bear in mind that we alone—among all our contemporaries—drew their attention to the singular circumstance, that the document published by our Ministers as the TREATY OP PEACE between Turkey and Russia, exhibited only the signa of the conquering Generals. The Times of this ag speaks of these " terms of peace" as having `reluctantly signed by the SuLTAIT"—a misap .. against which the rumours of re-commenced hostilities ought to put us doubly on our guard. The, SULTAN has signed nothing; and the thing which the Duke of WELLINGTON'S people have put forth as the treaty of peace between the two belligerent Sovereigns, is but a string of conditions on which peace has been offered to the vanquished party, at the dictation of the conqueror. To return, however, to this rumoured rebellion of the western Pachas, which—as we set out with remarking — we do not consider at all improbable : supposing it to have taken place, there is yet an opening for a redeem ing effort, on the part of England. Indeed, it is asserted as a part and parcel of the same rumour—that " the English Government is making very menacing prepa rations for war at Corfu,, where nearly 15,000 men are at this momentassembled." At this conjuncture, 15,000 men are but as a feather in the scale, against the over whelming weight of Russia : but we will not affirm that the appearance of our fleet in large force under Con stantinople, might not yet—even at this eleventh hour— cause the tide of Russian victories to run refluent. If' we had a Ministry animated with one spark of patriotism, we would say to it—" repair your errors; even yet it is not too late." Nay, more : we do now say to this Minis try—to the Noble Duke and the Noble Earl, who have brought such cumulated disgrace upon us—that if they will retrieve their characters by the adoption of the only course, in which there is any hope of redemption for the humbled honour and sacrificed interests of England, we will uphold them—as perhaps they feel that we have opposed them—a l'outrance. But we have not done so from any factious feeling, for we are bound to no men, fettered by no party : and if they will but exhibit—even after all their Cabinet perpetrations against Greece and Portugal, and their criminal submission to the engulphing usurpations of Russia—some signs of capacity, and sincerity to retrace their steps, wo would be among the foremost to do them justice. The course to which we allude, is to declare war at once against NlctioLAs, and to fol low up the declaration by immediate and vigorous opera tions, as well in the Black Sea as in the Levant. It ought to be with us, a war ad internecioncm : for if we allow the keys of the Dardanelles to be appended to the girdle of Russia, adieu for ever our naval greatness-- adieu our commercial superiority—we must take rank with the petty kingdoms of the earth from that disastrous hour, for ever. The Gazette of Lisbon of the 22d Sept. which it will be understood is the Gazette of MlGUEL—contains the following characteristic resolution of the Usurper, dated " Queluz, 22d Sept. 1329." " The official part of the Gazette contains a resolution of his Majesty, signed by the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice, to the effect that his Majesty having been informed, that in some parts of the Kingdom— especially Mink° and Tros-os-Montes, legal proceedings are still pending, which were commenced in 1826, against individuals accused of opposing the extinct and proscribed forms of Constitutional Government—an opposition which ought now to be considered as proving the loyalty with which his Majesty's faithful subjects detested such a monstrous innovation on the fundamental laws of this Monarchy—and his Majesty desiring that persons im plicated in such proceedings should be spared the incon venience and expense of being discharged from these proceedings, and also that for the public good and the promotion of general union and concord, these deplorable evidences of bad dispositions should be suppressed—he has been pleased to order that all these documents and papers, even without any request of the parties concerned, shall be transmitted to the Minister of Justice in the state in which they now are." Upon this follows the subjoined farcical account of the " fete of our beloved and august Sovereign" extracted from the Lisbon Gazette of the 4th instant, also received this day. We shall have another account to give of these proceedings very shortly:— To-day (Michaelmas-day) being the fete :(Saint's day) of our beloved and august Sovereign, the co lours were displayed in the forts and all the ves sels at anchor in the Tagus, and salutes fired at day-break, noon, and sun-set. At eleven o'clock a nu merous concourse of the most distinguished persons of all classes began to repair to the Palace of Ajuda, where, on this happy day, they had the high honour to kiss the hand of his moat gracious Sovereign, who was pleased to re ceive all with the august and paternal affability of a King, who, by so many and sacred ties, is rendered dear to his loving and loyal subjects ; and to whom, for our happi ness, the destinies of the most faithful Portuguese nation are confided. In the evening there was a voluntary And splendid illumination of the whole capital ! ! !"—Lisbon Gazette, Oct. 4. Buenos Ayres Papers to the Ist August have been re ceived this day, from which we have given below a series of extracts. The most interesting part of the news from that quarter is—that the Government of the province has extended to foreigners of all nations, who contributed to the security and peace of the capital, the full right of citizenship of the province of Buenos Ayres—" equally with the natives." We ha've likewise this day some im perfect details of a bloody battle between the contending forces of PAZ and Quißoc A BUENOS AYRES, Jess £3. In consideration of the services rendered to the public cause, by the foreigners of all nations who have taken up arms to con tribute to the security and peace of this capital, during the last few montbs—including those who, in compliance with the law, have entered service; and also those French citizens who gene rously continued even when they had permission to abandon it, the Government of the province has decreed : Foreigners of all nations, who have taken up artists in any of the corps of the aty Militia of this capital, shall have the righ t of citizenship of the province of Buenos Ayres, and enjoy all the rights of citizens equally with the natives. JULY 4.—Don Jon Augustin Barbosa, jun. has been recognised by the Govermneat of this Republic, as Consul-General from Brasil. Jim , 23.—0 n Sunday and Monday last it was currently re ported that an important victory had been gaited by Goma! Pas over the forces of General Quire=s and Bastes. The odiclal account of the battle was published yesterday. Gen. Paz formed his army in three columns—the right commanded by La Madrid; the centre by Colonel Deese; and the left by the Governor of Tucuman. General D. Fader Lopes ; the reserve by Colonel Pedernera. On the Slid June the army of Quirop, amounting to 3,000 men, was completely defeated. On the lids whilst Gen. Pas was marching for the town—having his whole force formed in one column—be was again boldly attacked by Qui roga, who bad been reinforced by infantry from the garrison.— After a severs contest, Gen. Pas was again victorious. Quinn's lost upwards of 1,000 killed, and 700 prisoners. Capt. D. Dionisio Tejedor, the bearer of a flag of truce from Gen. Pas, was shot from an AVOWS. We have been long meditating to call the public mind to the probable supersedure—at no distant period—of the dangerous and distressing practice of lithotomy in this country. We allude to the new pro cess, distinguished by the appellation of LITIIONTRITY, introduced by the Baron HEURTELOUP—a Parisian surgeon of great celebrity. It is one of those important and cheering discoveries, which ever and anon in the lapse of centuries—like that of vaccination, or the use of mercury—breaks across the horizon of mortal suffering, to alleviate, if not altogether to obliterate some of its component horrors. The agonies of the complaint called the stone are too notorious to need a description here ; and the surgical operation for its extraction is so terrible, that all patients would prefer to die by the slow torture of the disease, rather than submit to a frightful and dubious experiment, if the pain did not madden them to undergo it. That a substitute, then, should be found for this mangling remedy of the knife—a substi tute, too, of an efficacy so determined, that it must super induce in a very short time the abolition of that bloody practice—is a theme for human gratitude to dwell on. Already the Baron HEURTELOUP has proved the success of his lithontritic treatment in this metropolis, and has restored to health and happiness more than one otherwise death-devoted individual, who looked forward to a melancholy termination of his woes by the gorget of the operator. The case of Mr. WATTLE, of Chelsea—s gentleman, nearly seventy years of age—is among the most encouraging of these examples to the afflicted. We may perhaps, at some future period, describe—with a minuteness suited to the comprehension of our readers— the instruments by which this ingenious surgeon effects the pulverisation of the calculus in the bladder. In the mean time, it will be felt to be no slight confirmation of our preceding statement, when we announce that Mr. LA w RENCE, of St. Bartholomew's Hospital—whose very name is sufficient to give confidence to the timid— has expressed his unqualified approbation, and even ad miration of these instruments. On Thursday last, the nc'ule and ingenious Baron—with the sanction, and in the company of Mr. LAWRENCE—exhibited his appa ratus in the theatre of that Hospital, and delivered an explanatory lecture to the students there, on the prin ciples of the lithontritic operation. The lecture of M. Ht u RTELOV r was conveyed principally in the French language, Mr. LAWRENCE at his request acting as his interpreter, and elucidating to the pupils—as the Baron proceeded—the use of each particular instrument. We have not yet seen the instruments ourselves, but we un derstand—from a friend who has—that they may be pro pounced mechanical perfection. CITY. TWELVE o'CLout. The Consol Market, which left off firm yesterday, maintains its price this morning, although at present little business is doing. Consols opened at 901 for the Account, and for Money 90 to A. We have a great number of foreign arrivals, particularly from South America. The information from Buenos Ayres is not of a favourable description. The civil war still rages in that country. The letters from Rio Janeiro are of the 27th August. We do not hear of any political infor mation of consequence from that quarter. Exchange at Rio Janeiro was 26 ; at present the foreign market is void of interest. CITY. HALF-PAST OWL There has been a little animation in the course of the morning in the Consol market, which has caused rather an improvement. Consols which were at the com mencement of the market at 901 to 1, have since got up to 901 Buyers for the Account, and may at present be quoted 90g Sellers, and 90A to for Money. The private letters from Rio Janeiro, received by the Mail this morning, state the Loan contracted for in Lon don had been ratified by the Chambers. Exchange 261 j. The Brazil Stock had got up at Red. 1 per cent. Letters have been received from Launceston, Van- Dieman's Land, to the sth May. Wheat was selling there at 7s. Gd. per bushel, but the smutt had got amongst it. Sheep were selling at 2s. 6d. per head, and cattle at 355. to 408. per head. Butchers meat lid lb. In the Foreign Market the chief doing is in Brazil Stock, which has been done at 63i and 64. Favour able accounts have been received from the Imperial mines, which have produced 101 pounds of gold every day for twenty days on an average. Extract of a letter from Pere, Sept. 18, although not later than the last accounts, still is of interest:—" The Prussian Envoy, M. Royer, returned yesterday from Adrianople, accompanied by two Russian Officers. From that moment it appeared certain that peace was signed, and would be ratified by the Sultan immediately : great joy prevailed throughout the capital. Mahmoud only appeared down-cast and melancholy, which struck terror in every person who approached him. The chief objects of Royer in the negotiation with General Diebitsch were the contributions which the Porte is to pay to Russia,with the extension of the Greek territory. The Porte wished the sum should not be expressed in the public treaty, but ' should be the object of a secret article, as he does not wish to irritate the feelings of his people, who would say that Turkey has become tributary to Russia ; and which would be taken advantage of by his enemies, and would raise the nation against him. It is asserted that Royer has obtained of Russia a secret article in conse quence of this remonstrance ; and in regard to Greece the extent of their negotiation will be regulated, ac cording to the treaty of London, and the accession of the three powers, and that Russia only demands for Greece the line from Arta to Volo." We have the arrival of several Foreign Mails this morning: from Lisbon, by the Duke Marl'bro, sailed 14th October; from Malta, by the Queensbury, sailed 28th August; Gibraltar 25th September, Cadis 27th September ; from Rio Janeiro, by the Frolic, sniled 18th August; Bahai 30th August; Pernambuco 116 Sep tember; from Buenos Ayres, by the C) gnet, sailed lit August; Mont Video, 4th August. - tures o mornint been " prehens MADEIRA EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER TO A GENTLEMAN RESIDENT IN LONDON. MADEIRA, 811?. Wt. You will, no doubt, be surprised to hear of the tempo rary repose enjoyed here, and the suspension of that sp.- tematic tyranny which our soi-disant paternal Governor has thought it expedient to adopt, after the unheard-of cruelties and persecutions of which our island had hitherto been the theatre. It will be as well to inform you of the real cause of this much vaunted and unexpected change in our situation. You are no stranger to the insidious stratagem by which the lower class of people in the towns and peasantry were instigated to attack and plunder the landed proprietors. The worthiest of these were forced to fly from the island and abandon their homes while many of those who re mained were thrown into prison and loaded with irons. So that if persecution has ceased, it is simply because. there are no more victims on whom the Miguelite Autho rities can glut their vengeance. The repose of which our paternal rulers boast, consists of that deep depression and settled gloom which pervades among families who have been either spoliated or forced to conceal them selves, to escape the wrath of their persecutors. If we have assumed an apparent tranquillity, it is merely in the hope of avoiding a repetition of former cruelties. Our grief is, however, the more poignant, at witnessing a state of things which has converted the island, once so happy and prosperous, into one general scene of mourn ing and sorrow. You are aware that whenever a decree of sequestration is passed on any person's property, it ought to be held sacred, without appropriation, till the period of a final judgment or restoration to the owner, if his innocence be proved. What, however, has been the conduct of the. Authorities here ? As if the sequestrated properties be longed to Government, or rather to themselves, they have seized the produce of the lands, and after the sums it yielded were deposited in the public chest, to save appear ances, by far the greater part was soon after withdrawn to pay the enormous charges of the Judges and their as sistants. The conduct of one of these legal harpies with regard to Joni DE CARVALIIAL'S splendid mansion is particularly worthy of notice. This place, which was the seat of hospitality and gaiety before the exile of that distinguished patriot, has been plundered of its costly furniture, a great portion of which is now to be seen in the house of the Juis de Fora alluded to. While the cel lars have been thrown open to supply the Miguelite Of ficers, the grand piano, chandeliers and looking-glasses, are divided between himself and the Governor, Mos- TSUI°. Palheiro, the beautiful park and country residence of Senor DE CARVALIIAL, has been dilapidated and robbed with as little ceremony as his town house. Here, even the silver lamp and other sacred utensils of the Chapel, have not been respected. Not content with taking away every moveable article from the house, the gardens were ransacked, and its choicest flowers plucked up to grace the parterres of Madame Monteiro, who was more especially desirous of possessing the fine Japan roses brought from England not long before the owner's exile. The longings of her Excellency being thus satisfied, it remained for the complaisant Judge to meet the wishes of his Excellency. To effect this, the guinea fowls and fat capons of the farm-yard were put in requisition, while poachers were employed to scour the preserves and furnish game for the table of a person, who, previous to the usurpation,would have been glad to dine on a dish of calavanzas stewed in rancid oil, and considered even this as a rich feast ! As if something was still wanting to outrage the feelings of a man whose whole life has been devoted to acts of kindness towards his fellow-citizens, and the good of his country, Madame Monteiro, and her daughters must needs be allowed to pillage the house at St. Pedro, from whence all the linen and plate has been taken. It is not indeed unfrequent to see the young ladies with some of Mr. C.'e fine cambric handkerchiefs in their hands. Besides the seizure of his property, and dilapidations of all kinds perpetrated in the grounds and gardens, Monteiro and his bosom friend, John Barisca, formerly an Italian cook, but now a mer chant and smug3ler, are in the frequent habit of visiting the Palheiro, to indulge in those excesses for which they have long been so notorious. Such being the system pursued by the agents of the usurper, it will be for you to judge how far the Govern ment deserves to be styled paternal ! You might even ask the Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord Aberdeen, whether they really think this the best mode of governing Portugal, since they have both asserted that it is popular among us ? Without wishing to meddle with the false views which their Lordships have taken of the wishes and sentiments of the Portuguese nation, I may be allowed to say that the only crime of those who have been, the objects of such relentless persecutions here, is to have obeyed the orders, and adhered to the charter of their law ful sovereign, Don PEDRO, whose legitimacy had been recognized by all the powers of Europe, and especially a Prince who they were led to believe, was acting under the immediate auspices of England, since the said charter was conveyed to Lisbon by a British Ambassador ! In the midst of these oppressions and acts of violence, the glorious victory of Terceira has diffused universal joy, and is regarded as the precursor of still more glorious events. If even the Duke of WELLINGTON and his friends should determine to persevere in their cruel po licy, we look forward with confidence to the generous promises and well known energy of the Emperor Don PEDRO. A Monument is to be erected by rublic subscription in, Waterford, to the memory of Dr. Kelly. Office and High Mau for the repose of the soul of Dr. Kelly, were celebrated at Waterford, Saturday last. The Right Rev. Dr. Kins?lia, the new Bishop of Omory, officiated. and C.l2 l .ivered the funeral eulogy. The remains of the deceased Prelate followed by an immense proces sion, were interred in the great Chapel. The Mayor of Waterford with his wand and gold chain, walked in the procession.
