Present, the Plenipotentiaries of France, Great Britain, and Russia. At the opening of the conference, the Plenipotentiaries of his Bri tannic Majesty and of hi. 3lost Catholic Majesty, expressed to the Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Majesty their wish to be informed in what point of view be considered the tenth article of the Treaty recently signed at Adrianople between Russia and the Ottoman Em. pare—an article which has respect to the affairs of Greece. The Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Msjesty declared that the tenth article of the treaty in question did not invalidate the rights of the Allies of the Emperor, shackle the deliberations of the Ministers assembled in conference at London, nor place any obstacles in the way of the arrangements which the three Courts should by common consent adjudge to be most useful, and the best adapted to circum. stances. After this declaration, the Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majesty produced to the conference a joint dispatch, in which the Ambassador. of Great Britain and France at Constantinople trans mitted a declaration of the Porte, dated 9th September, announcing' " that the Porte having already adhered to the Treaty of London, now promises and engages, In addition, in the presence of the representatives of the powers, parties to the treaty aforesaid. to sub. scribe entirely to all the determinations which the conference at London may decide on relative to its execution." The reading of this document caused a unanimous recognition of the obligation which the alliance was under to proceed, in the first piece, to the immediate establishment of an armistice b► land and sea between the Turks and Greeks. It is resolved, in consequence, that the Plenipotentiaries of the three Courts at Constantinople, their rest. dents In Greece, and the admirals in the Archipelago, shall receive, without delay, an order to demand and obtain from the contending parties a prompt and entire Negation of hostilities. To this effect instructions were agreed upon and issued to the aforesaid Plenipotentiaries and Residents, and also to the three Ad to the re-establishment of peace between Russia and the Porte, permitting the Russian Admiral to take part in the operations of his colleagues of England and France. The first Resolutions being agreed upon, the Members of the Conference, finding that the Otto man dec larat ions placed them in the position of concerting such measures as to them should appear preferable to adopt in the actual state of akin, and being desirous of adding to the anterior disposi tions of the Alliance such ameliorations as might be mast conducive to the assuring new pledges for the stability of the peace about which they were employed, have, by common consent, issued the following clauses:— " First, Greece shall form an independent State, and shall enjoy all the rights, political, administrative, and commercial, attached to eomplete independence. " Second, in consideration of these advantages granted to the new State and in deference to the wish expressed by the Porte to obtain a reduction of the frontiers fixed by the protocol of the 22t1 March, the line of demarcation of the Grecian boundaries, comment. _ . log at the mouth of the river Aspropotamos, shall run up that river as high as the lake d'Anghelo Castro, crossing which, as well as those of Vtachoti and Ssurovitza, it shall abut to Mount Artolina, whence it shall follow the crest of Mount Oha, as far as the Golf of Zehoun whence it reaches the mouth of the Sperchio All the lands and.territories situate to the south of this line, which the confe rence has specially indicated, shall belong to ?}recce ; and all the lands and territories to the north of the same line shall continue tol form part of the Ottoman empire. The whole island of Negropont and the isles Du Diable shall equally belong to Greece, together with the island of Skyro, and thaw anciently comprised under the name of the Cyclades, situate between 36 and 39 degrees of north latitude, and 26 and 29 degrees of longitude from the meridian of Greenwich. " Third. the government of Greece shall be monarchical and he. reditaq, by order of primogeniture ; It shall be confided to a prince who'all not be selected from the reigning families of the states subscribing to the treaty of the tith ef July, 1827, and who shall bear the title of Sovereign Prince of Greece. The choice of this L rin do l s e . shall be the subject of ulterior communications and stipu. " Fourth, As soon as the clauses of the present Protocol shall have been communicated to the parties interested, peace between the Ottoman Empire and Greece shall be considered as ipso facto established ; and the subjects of the two States shall be reciprocally treated, as respects the rights of commerce and navigation, as those of other States at peace with the Ottoman Empire and with Greece. " Filth, Acts of Amnesty, full and entire, shall be immediately published by the Ottoman Porte and the Greek Government. " The Act of Amnesty of the Porte shall proclaim that no Greek . in the whole extent of its dominions shall be deprived of his pro perty or disturbed in consequence of any part he may have taken in the Greek insurrection. " The Act of Amnesty of the Greek Government shall poclalm the same principle in favour of all klussulmans or Christians who shall have taken part against its cause; and it shall be, moreover, understood and published, that all Mussulmans who shall wish to continue to inhabit the territories and islands assigned to Greece, sh.ll, together with their families, enjoy invariably the most per fect security. " Sixth, The Ottoman Porte shall grant to such of its Greek subjects as shall desire to quit the Turkish territory the delay of a year, for the purpose of disposing of their property, and free egress from the country. The Greek Government shall afford the same li betty to the inhabitants of Greece who shall wish to transport them. selves into the Turkish territories. •' Seventh, All the Grecian forces, both by land and sea, shall evacuate the territories, places, and islands which they may occupy beyond the line assigned as the limits of Greece in the Second Article, sad shall retire within the same Jibe with ;he least possible delay. All the Turkish troops, by land and sea, which occupy ter. ' ritories, places, or islands comprised within the limits abovumen. , Saud, shall evacuate those islands, placea, and territories, and retire within the limits aforesaid, and equally with the kart possibledelay. " Eighth, Each of the three Courts shall retain the power assured to it by the sixth Article of the Treaty of the 6th July, 1827, of guaranteeing, in concert, the preceding clauses. The execution of carrying into effect of these different acts shall become, pursuant to the aforesaid Article, the subject of ulterior stipulations between the high contracting parties. No troops belonging to either of the high contracting parties shall enter the territory of the new State without the consent of the other two subscribers to the Treaty. " Ninth, In ordes to avoid the eollisons which can hardly fail, under existing circumstances, to arise from a contact between the, commissioners for the Greek demarestioo, when they shall Le en.' gaged in tracing out the Grecian frontiers, it is agreed that this task shall be confided to British, French, and Russian Commiasiorers, and that each of the three Courts shall nominate one. These Cont. missioners, furnished with similar latructions, shall trace out dial above-mentioned frontier, following with all passible accuracy the line !notated in the second article; they shall mark this line by boundary posts, and shall draw up two papers signed by them. selves, one of which shall be transmitted to the 1., nava Govern meat, the ether to that of Greece. They shall be directed to cont. plete their labours within the apace of six month,. In case of any' difference of opinion between the Commissioners, the majority of ' votes shall decide. " Tenth, The provisions of the present Protocol shall be intme mediately transmitted to the Ottoman Government by the Pknipo. tertiaries of the three Courts, who shall be furnished with common and joint instructions to this erect. The Residents in Greece be. longing to the three Courts shall also receive instructions on the same subject. The three Courts reserve to themselves the power of in serting the present stipulations in a formal treaty, to be signed at London, to be oonsideted as carrying into execution hat of the 6th of July, !ILI, and to be communicated to the other European Courts, with an invitation to them to accede to it, if they 'hall think proper." in iunclusion--Having thus reached the end of a long and din cult negociadon, the three Courts congratulate each other sinanly on the perfect unanimity which has prevailed between them in the midst of circumstances the most delicate and important. The maintenance of this unanimity in suds moments presents the best pledge of its durability ; and the three Courts Satter thorn era that this union, equally dim and beceicW, will not fail to contri bute to the censo r of the peace of the whole world. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. TWINE OF LORDS—MoN DAY. Dlr. Cita,Ea. frani the Treanny, prt•%enttd at the bar an ac. taunt of the increast: and diminution in all public 0f1ie4.4 :or the last year. A per.un from the Navy Office presented at the bar an ac count of the British oak timber purchased for the navy from the year ItAl9. The Eall of MA 1411E881'R V moved for various returns relative to the io , portation of corn, among which was an account of wheat imported fur home consumption front 1828; also, an account of Hour imported in Liverpool, from the Isle of Man, from the sth of July, 1830.—Ordered. The Duke of GOMM rN presented a petition from the county of host (we believe) complaining of Mitres". NUNNI.i COMPANIES. On the motion of the Earl of ROSSLYN the standing order No. 110 was amended. [This order was introduced by the F:arl of Lauderdale to cheek the introduction of bills for making joint-stock companies, fur pur poses of idle speculation. Works of public improvement were cx. cepted out of the operation of the order. To these exceptions some further exceptions were moved by the noble earl (the Earl of Rosalyn,) " markets, quays, wharfs, and landing-places," are the exceptions to the order, which had been inadvertently omitted, when it was proposed, and received the sanction of the House.] The Earl of CARNARI'ON presented a petition signed by a number of freeholders and tanners of Wilts, complaining of the influx of Irish labourers, and the importation of the produce of that country. The petitioners suggested that both countries should be put on the same footing with respect to taxation. The private bills on the table were advanced one stage. The Duke of WELLINGTON moved for various returns res pecting silk and silk goods.—Ordered. The Marquis of SALISBURY moved that certain witnesses on the East Retford disfranchisement bill be ordered to attend, with a view to their exan tination at the bar of the house on the4lllll of' Aprll.--Agreed to. The Duke of NORFOLK presented a petition from the cutlers of Sheffield, praying that the trade to India and China might be' thrown open.—Th e titian was read at length. The Duke of G LOUCESTER presented a similar petition friss the mayor and corporation of the city of Gloucester, which was like- wise read at length. Viscount GRANVILLE presented several petitions from Mel. lington, Newport, Colebrook Dale, and the miners of the mining district in Shropshire, against paying the labourers in goods instead of money. Lord SUFFIELD, when presenting a petition from a hundred in Norfolk, praying the repeal of the malt tax, said it was not his in. tention to trouble the house with a repetition of the statement which he had made on a preceding evening, as far as his own opinions ware concerned ; but when he spoke of the feelings of others, he felt a little anxiety about his being properly understood and represented.— The petitioners, as he had said on Thursday, when presenting similar petitions, complained of agricultural distress ; but, above all, they wished to see the tax upon malt abolished. He though t it worthy remark, and creditable to their feelings, that their own distress they felt for the sufferings of others, and suggests' the repeal of the malt duties, as likely to benefit the labou pew den of the community. Ile had also, on that occasion, d the poor-rates, and of the mode of relief which might be I ' a better administration of the poor laws. He said, and be ... repeat what belied stated , that it was the gentlemen and seeigistratee, and not the farmers, who had the administration of the poor laws.— It would be in the recollection of their lordships and of the Deli duke opposite, if such were not the sentiments that he (Lord SWIM) bad stated. He had only one thing more to add, and that boil le. terrace to a meeting which was convened by the High tiberilfof the cots of Norfolk, on the 16th of January last, when a petition wee agreed to for a repeal of the malt tax. It was one of the mist as. spectable meetings of the county which he had ever whncsssd. The only difference of opinion was, as to the tax from which they sbotai pray to be relieved. A very large majority of the meeting wee anxious for the repeal of the malt tax, as one the most likely to afford benefit to the lower classes. He was not aware to what noble lord that petition was intrusted for presentation, otherwise he shadd have requested to know when it would be convenient to present it to their lordship., being anxious to give it his support. Business would shortly call him out of town, and he was the more desirous of ex. pressing his sentiments on this head, lest lie might be absent when that petition was presented. The Duke of WELLINGTON bore his testimony to the Alma. rations made by the noble lord on the evening to which he had al. luded, as being perfectly similar in substance to what their lordships had just heard. The petition, as well as two others from hundreds in the county of Norfolk, likewise presented by Lord SVIPTIELD, was then laid on the table. The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition from certain inba. bitants of Calcutta, the offspring (as was understood) of Europeans with natives of India, complaining of various hardships to 'wlsich they were subjected, and praying relief. Lord ELLENBOROUUII said, in answer to some observations by the noble earl, which were very indistinctly heard below the bar, that the present was not a favourable opportunity for entering into a discussion upon the subjects contained in the petition which had been just presented to the house. He assured the noble earl that be felt the utmost vontnisseration for the situation of the petitioners, and, if it were passible, in any way to afford diem relief; consistently with the conservation of the empire, and the wellbeing of the body of the reople of India. :fnme portions of the complaints urged might probably be remedied, respecting marriages, wills, and sue. cession. Ile begged to assure the noble earl, since the petition had been in this country. it lu.d received great consideration from the Board of Control, ar.tl also from the East hall.' Directors; and, as far as the prayer could be complied with, it showed i's respect to those two great objects to which lie had already alluded— viz the conservation of our empire, and the well.beiog of the body of the people of India. After a few further observations from the. Earl of VAR List.r and Lord ELLEntionouou, the petition was read and laid on the table. Fad DUDLEY presented a petition from a place in Statliatishire against the truck system. On the motion of Earl RAT ualIT certain papers 'elating to East India *Rhin were ordered. Lord HOLLAND presented a petition from two individuals of the Presbyterian persuas , on in the North of Ireland, praying the in. treduction of some compulsory clause relating to marriages night be iturodoced into the Synod ..f Ulster. The Marquis of LANHJOIV NE presented petitions from the Chamber of Commerce, Dublin, a parish in Lancashire, a corporate body in Perth, and another place m tvotland, in favour of throwing open the trade to Irdia and China. The noble marquis also pee. rented a petition from lisudingtitn, Lancashire, against the burning of widows in India. The noble moguls also presented a petition front an individual, stating that he coon suggest a mode of relies. ing the country from the diSculties under which it labouted ; that he only required a sixpence in the pound remuneration— (a laugh;) And prayed to be exAmirtd before a committee of the house. Lard WHARNCLIFFR presented a petition from the Oshtemo& of Robin Hood's Bay, and other places on the Yorkshire coast, in the vicinity of Whitby,praying the restoration of the fishing bounties. !IMMINGHAM TETITIOX. The Karl of RADNOR said, he had a petition to present to the home from Birmingham, signed by upwasth of 23,000 inha bitants. The petition embiact.d a variety of topics. Use related to a reform in parliament, another topic prayed to be relieved front taxation ; and another suggested the removal of the malt tax. These subjects were all nailed in the petition, which was most respectably aigned, and by the number of individuals he had already stated. The petition complained of the distress under which the inhabitants of the town of Birmingham were now labouring—(llra, hear.) It had been asserted that the distress which prevailed in the awn►ry was diminishing ; and, if he were not mistaken, Birmingham was selected an one of the paces where ►uch a state et thing. was said to exist. The petition having tome into his hands a few days ago, he thought It his duty to make some inquiries respecting the fact as to the improvement which had been supposed to have taken place at Bitminglians, flirty he was to say that the mak of these ia. quirks did not sewed with the triumphant amertien recently made in another place. The noble ea►l, after alloiliag to the subject of the currency, and that act which pooled 181811, as well ae the act, of 1822, the latter of w►ich he said had take► out of operation the forma act, and thee produced high prime, he proceeded to statel that the.main point to whkb he wished so draw the Manion of the • euse ism ... to the question of distreee. It had been .aid that the :cress was dinainithing. If that were the ease nobody would rc e•ice enure than he. He believed that it was diminishing in some vans of the country, but if that diuthimion proceeded from an issue •,t paper. a kids had been asserted, and not been a revival of trade std commerce, it was rather a subject of regret than of exultation. He would now call the attention of the house to some facts which he had collected relative to the state and condition of Birmingham. By authentic information from manufacturers at Binningham he had learned that articles in brass which used to be manufactured at 46. Gd. and lis. were now selling wholesale in town at 2s. Id. Other articles had fell full 50 per cent. on the manufacturing prier. As to the state of the town of Birmingham generally, it was clearly shown, by the returns be had seen, that considerable distress was felt there; and would be much more oppressive but for the kind. ness and liberality of the manufacturers, who employed at a loss to themselves their workmen for three or tour days in each week, so as to keep body and soul together. Nor Were three poor people dissatisfied, but, as the contrary, were grateful to their humane employers. The out-poor list presented an alarming in. crease since the year 1819. The corn was then 17s. abushel, and now it was 7s. bd. On the whole, the poor rates did not amount to above three per cent. more in 1818 than they did now. The corn was then 80 per cent. dearer than at present. A practice pre. railed in Binuiegliant of turning the able pour out to wheel a bar row of. wind, w i litng about 205 cwt. up a hill f or three quarters of a mile, for. the poor man received a penny, which mode of labour would produce him at most, 14d. per day, after carrying the 200 cwt. ten miles and a half per day up hill, and returning as much more. Yet, severe as the labour imposed was, there were double the number of candidates for this hard-earned bread this last winter to that of any preceding winter. The petition complained of the poor laws, and also of the free-trade laws ; but in the !moor part of their prayer be mold not sympathise, because. in his opi nion, the wider the doors of commerce were thrown open, the better it must be for our manufacturing daises. The Doke of WHLLINGTON thought It rather unfortunate their laldeltips shoidd allow thane:dm to deviate hem the orders of the house, which bad ken framed expressly to prevent allusions being made to debates of former nights, and to the sentiments of individuals in the other house of parliament. If the Noble viscount had observed that particular order he would not only have avoided thehirregularity of alluding to that which had been spoken on a former night, or in the other house of parliament, but he would :tot have fallen into the error of quoting incorrectly that which he attributed to others. He thought be had misrepresenud miters, and certainly he had misquoted the sentiments which Ile (the Duke of Wellington) had uttered in his place on the occ.s. sion of the debate alluded to. What his right hon. friend in the other house had stated was, that government, in making an estiniat.• uu the subject of distress, or other complaint or object presented .1 its notice as regarded the population, was obliged to go by the r . turns furnished then:, and form their ealculation derma. Tie, was all his right hon. friend had s aid, an d, h e t h otti: h t i n so say i et, lit. had acted wisely and cautio u s ly—(h ear ). I t was sirgular is hear the noble lord arguing that, whilst. in the year 1817, Atha) poor were maintained at Birmingham, and in the year 1830 th.ire was only $,BOO, this inequality of numbers in the latter case, being under a metallic currency, was a proof of a greater existing Ms. tress. It was rather too much for noble lords to let two or ihr.e months go past after a debate had taken place, and then take up a sentence to argue on it detachedly, as had been dentin this instance. Lord HOLLAND defended the course pursued by his noble friend. The strictness of the orders of that house prevented their taking notice of any expression dropped in a preceding debate, yet that sort of allusion was, nevertheless, very frequent, more part. cularly wherever the complaints of the people were addressed to the r lordships petition. Lord RAI/NOR explained. In reply to a question from Earli t r. it RERII s The Duke of 11'ELLINU TON said he would furnish hint most probably by to-morrow with the information he required respect dig the intention of the Board of Ordnance to recommend the elottinz of the proof-house for small anna at Birmingham. Lord LANSDOWNE gave notice of his intention to move on an early day fora humble address to his majesty, praying that he would give directions to his Consuls abroad, in ports from whence such shipments were made, to transmit a statement of the quantity of the precious metals exported thence. CORN. Lord KING stated, it was his intention to submit to their lord. ships a series of resolutions, relative to the bade in corn, not with. out some hopes of their adoption by their lordships ; but should he have the misfortune to be defeated in that object, he should attain another, which was of no small importance—namely, that he should put on the journals of that house a record of what were his semi. menu in the year 1830 on that very important subject of our do. mestic policy. The time was not far distant when their lordships would be compelled to make sonic important change in the existing corn laws Ile himself felt there did exist a reason why the cause of an occasional pressure in different branches of our industry sax misunderstood, and he wished to set it right. It had been -aid in the other house that the cause might be traced principally t« the fact of there being too great a pressure on the productive industry of the country. In that opinion he perfectly coincided with the right honourable gentleman (Mr. Huskisson), but he was Forty to God that right hon. gentleman had, In the latter part of his argu ment, forgotten the position he had taken up. The truth was, bed it would not, nor should rot, be concealed, that the restrictions on the supply of food by the present corn laws pressed n.ote on t h e pro ductive industry of the country than almost all the rest of the taxes which reached this class. The proof of that was so %etitle, that it might be stated in a very few words. It would be found that during ten years the price of corn, from being 48s. had ranged at an average of es. which operated on a supply of about 12 million quavers, as respected the productive classes, in the end, as a tax amounting to nine mill' sterling, which was more than the soap and candle tax, and other taint directly affecting the necessaries of life._ It had been argued very conlidendy that it ought to be the policy of every nation to provide the grand material of the sustenance of its people from and out of hs own soil. This he condemned as the most tame assertion of a principle which would or might go to the extent of limiting the progress of Mipinventeet in this branch of our commerce, and confine our supply of corn to nearly its present amount. It was mere feeble talk and twaddle to assert that we ought not to depart from the old systtnt of supply for a better. True policy would rather require that we should continually make a departure from that which we found on practice was defective, and did not conduce to the prosperity of the country. As long as there was good land to bring into cultivation for the supply of corn let it be tilled, but let not the hnglish husbandman waste his labour on inferior land. There lay the gruel secret. But it was objected, foreign guverr.n,ents might, when they found we were totally de pendent on then, for a supply, levy a tax on their grain, and thus occasion the most alarming distress. It might as well he said we should be silly enough to levy a tax on our productive labour in the supply of the rest of the world with our manufactures. Did we do so, or had we done so at any time, or was it likely we should? Certainly net. Neither would great nwel.grow mg coun tries, Amnia. Preeisia or Poland, attempt to levy • tax on rota. The experiment h a d been tried ; for even with the temptation pre. seuting itself to the foreigner, of raising a very enormous profit by such a tax. during periods when our crops were alarmingly dr. ticient, they never yet, nor any of them had dared to impose such a tax, plainly for this re.mon—there was too great a etn:p. tition in the north for supplying this country at all times and seasons, whether of scarcity or otherwise. If he obtained from the month of the right honourable gentleman the cause of our ember. eahsluellt in this respect, he loupe' in the mouth of the noble lord. the President of the Council, the remedy for i:. That noble lord had stated that relief could be obtained. and that eft eteally, through the admission of forei g n corn. But then it had be e n hi nte d by the noble duke that the consequences of such an op. ning at the trade in corn might be dangerous, and so argued the noble President of the Council ; but he would suppose the case of that noble load sitting down to a good dinner, stud being told that dinner may refresh you and make you stronger for a while, but beware of 11:e mat quench. you may have ain of indigestion. What would be that noble herd's reply, except indeed be was a subscribt r to the telf.d. nyi. g std. mance, and a friend to system of restraint as absurd in. that in CrontwelPs time. Of all the votes he had ever given its his lifetime in Parliament, he prided himself most on, and received n.orc real vs. tinfaction from, that which he had given in opposition to the Corn BiU of 1813—a Dill which he denounced as unjust, monstrous, and iniquitous--impossible, Irv) the fluctuations and variations of the prices of corn in the market, and the stratagems repaired for ) (c iao, g up its price, to be ever fairly carried into execution accort:ing to its interest and spirit. Perhaps it might have been wise, in the diced which prevailed at that time of the effect of a sudden transition front war to peace, to have passed a temporary Act fir letting the pr'co at corn come down by degrees. It might have been desirable to hare taken a scale of reduction temporarily, but the radical vice of the system would eontinue as long as that continued—and be must say that the corn laws, as a general code, depressing and of fccting our productive industry. in order to sustain the insert so of the landed proptietors :sere, was one of the most unnatural aces that ever was passed in any aft or country.
