We desire that those Correspondents who write to us for no other purpose than to gratify their own vanity, and from other selfish motives—and whose Communications it is quite impossible to make useful to the Public—may pay the Postage of their Letters. The partisans of usurpation and tyranny in Portugal, have attached great importance to the recognition of M trEL by the Cabinet of Washington, which attempts to justify the act on the plea of its having been an old maxim of its policy to recognise all governments de facto. We are not disposed to cavil at this practice, though we are certainly of opinion that if an exception were ever to be made, it would have been fully justified in the present instance. While we can neither conceal our regret nor surprise, that the rulers of a Republic who pique themselves on - their regard for public principle, should have set so bad an example to the Old World, it is somewhat extraor dinary that the recognition should be volunteered, before any redress has been obtained for the cruelties exer cised on American subjects, who were first violently beaten, and then thrown into the prisons of Saint Michael : and more extraordinary still, that it should take place while the ships and property seized at Terceira remain =restored. Upon the whole, we freely confess that the forbearance on the part of a Power which has hitherto been so sensitive on such matters, is quite inex plicable to us. It is but a poor set off against this policy and forbearance of the Washington Cabinet, to say that while it receives the Envoy of the Usurper, it permits the Consul of the legitimate Q IMES to continue his functions in the name of her MAJESTY at New York. It is also said that, as with regard to France, the blockade of Terceira will never be acknowledged by the United States. It is highly satisfactory to reflect that the whole liberal press of America—for, as among ourselves, there are journals of a very opposite cast in the Union—has dis tinguished by its most marked indignation, as well the Act of recognition, as the unexampled indifference of the PRESIDENT. We perceive that the Morning Chronicle is again crawling like a parasite before the feet of the Noble Premier. In an article to-day on the Sale of Offices — occasioned by a late trial of the KING V. GROEBECKEV. —instead of reprobating, as a writer in his situation ought, the, facile connivance, if not corrupt participation of the Lords of the Treasury in those unconstitutional practices, he makes it a theme for high , and sounding panegyric on the Duke of WELLINGTON, that he pre vailed on that Board—in his character of FIRST LORD —to exert the condescension of replying to an injured applicant. Tu what a pass of profligacy and depravity have not our Ministers arrived, when the First Lord of the Treasuryin a case where the Treasury itself comes under the suspicion of the grossest peculation—is cried up as a pattern of public purity,. for persuading his col leagues to entertain a complaint of grievance ! We insert in another part of our paper an ac count of the quantity of each kind of FOREIGN GRAIN and FLo on imported into Great Britain, and of the quantity charged with duty for home consumption, in the month of October 1829, with the Weekly average price of each kind in the week ending the 14th November, 1829. The rate of duty, also, on each kind, will be found in these tables, as well as the price of the same, after the duties are paid : but from this price all the. contingent charges of freight and delivery are to be deducted, before the proceeds to the exporter can be shown. It will be perceived by these tables, that property to the amount of not less than one million sterling is kept locked up, by an absurd fisca regulation ; and this, at a time when distress was never more extreme nor universal, and a winter of unusual severity threatens to aggravate the general calamity. The principles of Mr. HUSK ISSON certainly operate unpropitiously here. By the Flanders Mail this morning, we have the Allgenteine Zeitung to the 20th instant, which conveys intelligence of more Concessions to the Rus the SUBLIME PoaTE,—namely, the delivery ortress of Ghuirgevo, and the tame submission 'eau) of SCUTARI, to Count DIEBITSCH.

We have positive information from Turkey, that all the points iu di.pute between Count Diebitach and the Turkish Plenipoten tiaries at Adrianople are settled; and that bliastapba Paths of Scutari, who, at the beginning of last month, seemed to think of nothing less than driving the Russian General from Adrianople, bad his warlike ardour cooled by the answer of Count Diebitscb, and and ended his military excursion at Phillppopolis. The &mans, for the incorporation of six districts with Servia, are said to be issued ; Ghiurgevo evacuated ; and the Gnu instal ment of the indemnity to Russian subjects paid. The accounts from Constantinople are not very favourable. A bitter and dangerous feeling prevails In the people against the Sultan and his counsellors; and not a night passes without some victim of fanatic hatred. The Sultan, teo, begins to see the dangers of his situation ; his guards are reinforced and receive higher pay. Couriers from London and Paris to Constantinople pass through here every week ; and it seems that important negotiations are going on relative to Greece, and of an advance of money to the Porte. ♦IENNA, Nov. 13. 5 per Cent.

The Austrian Observer—also received by the Flanders mail this day—has an article from Adrianople of the 30th ult. by which it would appear that the rati fication of the treaty of peace by the Emperor of Russ: A. had been received there three days before; and that the Russian head-quarters were about to be trans ferred to the foot of the Balkan. This paper informs us that the plague had greatly diminished in all Wallachia ; and that all other places in the east of Europe that had been infected, were almost purified : ADRIANOPLE, Ocr. W. The ratification of the treaty of peace by the Emperor of Ru da, was received here on the 27th ; and the neat day the ratifica tion of both parties (that of the Sultan was made on the 27th Sep.: tember) were exchanged by the Plenipotentiaries, at the head quarters of Count Diebitsch. It was understood that Adrianople would be evacuated by the Russians, and the head-quarters of Count Diebitsch be transferred for the winter to Selemmo, at the foot of the Balkan. The sth and Pith corps of the Russian Army his already left Adrianople to return to Russia. BUCHAREST, Nov. 2. The plague has greatly diminished in all Wallachia,--owing, as well to the cold weather. as to the energetic measures adopted to check it. In Bucharest itself there base been lately only from one to three denim by plague daily; and on some days none at all. The accounts from the other parts of the country are favourable. At Bndow, Tockecharri, and Bream, there have been no cases of plague for more than this mouth past. Rind* Is wholly purified; at Kallaraseh, which has a cordon about it, the disorder is much diminished ; at Crajowa there is at most one cue In five or six days; at Petescht, Kiniperia, and Plojeseht, the cases are very rare ; all the other places that were infected are almost wholly purified.—Autrien Observer, Nor. 15. Brussels Papers of yesterday's date are received this morning. In these we find an interesting piece of news from Ancona, dated the 3d. namely, that an armistice had been concluded between the Turks and Greeks, about the isthmus of Corinth. The cause assigned is feasible, although untrue : " They seem sensible that it is useless to shed their blood in order to determine territorial boundaries, which will be decided by the three Powers, in their negociations with the PORTE." The truth is that the PORTE has little to say in the matter. The Russians will decide the boundaries of Greece very shortly. CANDIA, OM 9. . - On the 7th of this month, the garrison, by order of Sunman Pasha, made a sally against the Greeks, who had assembled in great numbers at the distance of two leagues from ibis city, which they seemed disposed to blockade closely. The result of this sally was fatal to the in surgents, who were driven from their positions with the loss of 150 men. The loss of the Turks was about SO men. The resolu tion of Suliman to attack the Greeks does him the more honor, as he has but very few men under his command ; and the enemy is much more numerous. ANCONA, Nov. 5. Accounts from Corfu confirm the fact of an armistice between the Turks and the Greeks', about the isthmus of Corinth. They seem sensible that it is useless to shed their blood in order to determine territorial boundaries, which will be decided by the three Powers, in their negociations white Porte. Two English Regiments are expected in Corfu, from Malta. It is said also that Missolonghl will be occupied by the English. It seems that England intends to act the part of mediator on the Greek Continent, as Prance has done in the Mo res ; and that the Lord High Commissioner has received dispatches from London especially relative to that subject. BRUSSELS. Nov. O. We learn from the Hague, that it is certain that the majority of the Second Chamber of the States-General is decidedly in favour of the redress of some grievances, considered as mote immediately interesting, end which it will be the easiest ty remedy, but with out losing sight of others less urgent. It is 'affirmed that confe rences have taken place on t►e subject with several of the Minis ten, and that well-founded hopes may be entertained for the con ciliatory spirit which the Government has shown on these impor• tent points. Nov. 24.—A British Cabinet Minister paced through last night with dispatches from London for Vienna.—Brusatis Asp. Nov. 2S. CIIMMTAY-HOUSE.— Among other recent enrich ments to the interior of Chauntry-House, has been added a singularly curious and unmutilated specimen of that rare antique the real Roman Sarcophagus altar. It was obtained for the present learned, scientific, and philan thropic possessor, at no inconsiderable difficulty and expense, by a. continental collector for that and other gentlemen connected with antiquarian research, and similar pursuit. The date of this elaborate article of vertu is pretty clearly ascertained to be about that peculiar and distinguished aura, the 9th Olympiad, and was brought from Villa Franca, about six leagues from Rome, (the ce metery of many an ennobled senator) by tha t Colossus of princely pride, the 14th Louis of France, as a pre sent to one among his most •noted personal favourites (then considered the Mactenas of his age and nation,) the Marquis de Choiseul, great uncle to that Marquis whose widow is the present Princess Polignac, and the sit er of Baron Ruoff.. CITY. Twstva o'CLoca. This being Settling-day, the great struggle of this Account be tween the Bulls and Bears, for these two or three years put, will be decided. The extreme fluctuation during any one Account has not been so great as on the present occasion, which may be quoted at 5# per cent. We understand that several millions of Stock has been carried over to the January Account, and the great City capitalist is expected to take Stock this day to the amount of one million. The chief cause of the receding of Consols yesterday was owing to the important notice sent by the Royal Exchange Assur ance Company to the Stock Exchange, that they mean, in January, to give every proprietor of £lOO capital after the opening of Con sols. £lOO in the 5 per Cent. Consols, and reduce their dividend from sto 5 per cent. by which it appears probable that the pro prietors of the above Stock may throw it on the market at the above period, which will produce a fall in Consols. Consols which left off yesterday at 92 # for the present Account. weed firmer this morning at 921 #. and 93i j for January. "'There are no failures op to the present time, and none of any Oellsequence are expected—there may be a few of a minor de scription. In the Foreign Market nothing doing at present. CITY. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour the Account appears to go off well ; and we do not hear of any defaulters. It is a Bear Account ; and we understand that Itolusemu i Baum, and LLors, are taking a great deal of Stock, which has caused a great scarcity of that article in the Market. Cowls, which were in the early part of the morning at 921 I for the present Account, may be quoted at 994 I, and for January Ac count 9g;. This improvement was at first attributed to a great Bear having bought in his Account, in the tarty part of the morning ; but the true cause is the scarcity of Stock. In the Foreign Market little doing. as the chief attention of the speculators Is drawn to the British Market. Posted at the North and South American Coffee house:—LIVEnPOOL, Nov. 24.—The sales of cotto this day amount to 2,800 bags, at full prices ; and there is every appearance of an increased demand. Accounts from Lisbon, via France, of the Bth No vember, state that the persons employed there in the Criminal Commission at Oporto, have received parti cular favours of Don Miguel. He has rewarded them with several pensions. M. Mathias, who was endea vouring to procure a loan for Don Miguel, has failed in the attempt. The Princesses still continue in a dan gerous state. From Barcelona, of the 13th November: we hear, that on the 15th November, the new Queen of Spain was expected there. She received, with great affability, the Spanish emigres. For some time past a rheumatism has prevailed in that town ; of which, it is said, twenty thousand of the inhabitants suffer. We have accounts from Gibraltar of the sth of Nov. they only relate to a smuggling transaction of no im portance. A dispatch has been sent from the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Paris, to the Chamber of Commerce at Havre, stating that he received the letter addressed to him from the Chamber of Commerce, and has taken notice of its information, in regard 'to the appeal of several merchants at Valparaiso, complaining of the inconvenience they, experienced by the interruption from the French Navi gation in these seas ; and solicit that the French Consul-General be removed to Valparaiso. A private letter appears in the French papers, from Vela Cruz, dated the 7th Sept. stating that Santa Anna was preparing to attack the Spaniards at all points at Tampico, on or about the 20th Sept. and great hopes were entertained that feet of them wou'd make their es cape from the above town: Letters from Salonique of the 15th Oct. bring in formation that the plague was extending its ravages in the ultra provinces to Odessa ; and has also manifested itself in Thrace, and in several towns of Anatolia, and in . the neighbourh ood of Constantinople. The Russian fleet is arrived at Poros, and appears to be disposed to support Capo d'lstrias, whom the Greeki wish to continue as President. The private letters from Vera Cruz state, that La game was advancing at the head of five or six thousand men, and a strong division of cavalry. The roads from Mexico to Tampico were crowded with troops, and Gen. Maulina was at Puente, to cover Vera Cruz, in case the Spaniards attempted to take it by a coup de main. Gen. Teran has returned from Texas. He had an inter view with Lagarza, and found him to possess great talents. United with those of Santa Anna; the Spaniards will, beyond a doubt, in a general engagement, be totally defeated. Accounts from Cuba, via Bordeaux, to the 27th Sep tember, state that no hopes are entertained at the Ha vanna, of a reinforcement from Spain. Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated 7th Nov.—" have this moment learned that yesterday, Nov. 6, there were 120 serjeants dismissed from different regiments, in consequence of their belonging to families known to be Constitutional. The whole army are disaffected, and ready for any change. Their pay is several months in arrear, and, I believe, so long as May last. Government are distressed beyond imagination for want of money. They have accepted subscriptions as low as one penny for the service of the State. It is impossible they can go on much longei." E. B. PORTMAN, Esq. M.P. has given an order for 550 yards of woollen goods, for charitable purposes, to be made entirely of British wool. In the present de pressed state of trade, it is highly gratifying to record such a benevolent a nd patriotic act. Sir THOS. DALRTMPLE HESK ETII, Baronet, who, on the occasion of the last general election, announced, or rather, we believe, repeated the declaration of, his inten tion to become a candidate for the representation of Lancashire on the first vacancy, has now notified his abandonment of that intention. It is said that several servants in the service of the late Lord HARRIS are about proceeding to India, to join the suite of his Excellency the Governor of Fort St. George. His Excellency's family are preparing to join him ; it would therefore seem that he does not contemplate re turning to this country at present. Owing to the heavy fall of snow on Tuesday night, both in the metropolis and in the country, there was a delay in the Arrival of some of the mails yesterday morn ing. The Ipswich mail-bag was sent to town by a post chaise and four, owing to the snow being so deep ; it did not arrive at the Post-office till a quarter after eight, and the Dover mail at twenty minutes before nine The cold was so severe during the night, that several of the coach men and guards were quite benumbed. The snow was falling very heavily at Dover when the mail left ; and the passengers by the Calais steam-boat stated that the snow and cold bad set in very severely there, and in all the north of France. On the 9th ult. Mr. Trotter, Editor of the Kentucky' Gazette, and Charles Wickliffe, fought a duel at Lexing ton, at eight passe. On the second fire W. fell and died in three hours. It will be recollected that Mr. Trotter is the successor of Mr. Bening, formerly Editoi of the Ken tucky Gazette, who was killed by Mr. Wickliffe, the person who has fallen in the duel above mentioned. THE KING. WINDSOR, Nov. 25.—The continued unfavourable state of the weather has confined his MAJESTY to the Royal Lodge during these three days past. His MA JESTY nevertheless enjoys perfect health, and continues in the best possible spirits. The KIK° has lately de voted a considerable portion of his time to the affairs of State, and has dispatched several messengers from the Royal Lodge since Monday last to the Metropolis. On Sunday afternoon his MAJESTY left the Royal Lodge about two o'clock in his close carriage, accom panied by the Lord Steward, for the Castle, • for the purpose of meeting and giving audience to Prince ESTERIIAZY and Count and Countess Ni GENT. These distinguished individuals arrived e• the Castle shortly before the KING, and upon h: MAJESTY'S arrival were introduced to the 'tor , presence. They were in conference for uF.runn, of an hour, after which they partook of refreshments, and were conducted through the new suite of apartments. His MAJESTY left the Castle at four o'clock on his re turn to the Royal Lodge. Prince EsTERHAZY and tine Count and Countess NUGENT left shortly afterwanls for London. Monday afternoon the Duchess of GLOUCESTER Mid a visit to his MAJESTY at the Royal Lodge, on her return from Bushy Park, where her Royal Highness had been to visit the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE.

The sale took place on the spot, and was conducted by Mr. Crea ton. There were about 200 lots, each lot consisting of the bricks, timber, sashes, &c. of a shed, conditioned that the buyer sho uld remove the same at his own ex pense, within three weeks of the day of sale. The whole of the internal fittings, which were the property of the respective tenants, had been previously removed. The lots fetched what, considering the oldness of the work, were deemed fair prices. Workmen are now busily employed in placing barriers all around the market, by direction of the Corporation, in order to prevent any accidents from carriages being driven over the rough broken ground, which in a short time will alone remain to mark the site of this ancient market. And even this last vestige will continue only so long as may be neces sary for the entire repaving of the street, and the whole as one spacious and commodious thoroughfare will then be thrown open to the public, when its former title of Fleet market will become merged in that of Farringdon-street. 4 '0 '-- ' '
