The hatred of the Sultan towards Russia is, at this moment, at its height, and is expieised, it is said, In the most energetic terms. “ This War will be conducted with ettrime animosity on both sides. The chances are still doubtful, for it mist not be imagined that the triumph of the Resets= is so certain as it is believed to be in some countries of Europe.. The fanaticism and the increas fag exasperation of the Mussulmen must be tater% into the ac • count, and notwithstanding tkedeplorahk internal administration • of the empire, Its resources are still immense, if they only knew . how reemploy them properly. The resistance will be long and vigorous; all the Turks able to bear arms must join the. army as seen as they are called upon.

Gentleman must be mistaken as to Liverpool; for cer tainly no Petition had been presented from that place of the nature he alluded to—proh,bly he Meant Bristol. Then as to Glasgow, it Was fitting the House should know that the Petition be designated was not from the County of Lanark, bur fnim the Synod of Glasgow, consisting of only one per-on, 'He had no objection to join the Honourable Gentleman in the Cope be had espresied; that the proud example of the Synod of Glasgow would be followed by other equally numerous ai:d important bodies—(Laughter). Mr. PEEL said, the Right . Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Plunkett) was himself in error, when he stated that the Synod of Glasgow consisted of but one person. The Presbyterian Synod of that place was composed of many, but the Petition was signed by one, for the whole body, as was frequently done. Mr. PLUNKETT explained, that he only meant to say that one person only had addressed that House. Mr. BRIG urr exprestrd a lore that the example of the Pres byterians of Scotland would be wowed by all l)i.srma rs in the country.

Mr. GOU N said, he could again assure the, House, as he had done before, that the Government of Ireland bad taken the system of tithes in that country into consideration. The House, however, was aware, that the troubles of that country had given constant employment to the Government, and inter- • rupted their incjiriry into the subject. The necessity of commu nicating with intelligent individuals in several parts of the coun try was another cause of delay. For thew reasons, be was not prepared to say whether be could introduce any measure on the subject generally during the present Session.

Mr. I:YE preterites! a Petition from seventy-two out of seventy-nine British Merchants residing at Rio Janeiro, in South America. The Petitioners complained of the operation of a Bill which was passed in 1814, enabling the Consul-General of Rio Janeiro to levy a duty of one-half per cent. upon the freight- . age of all British mercliandke, which was felt as highly op pressive. The Bill was passed without any one whose interests were affected by it knowing anything about it, and the nature of it might be judged of from the circumstance of its having raised the salary of the Consul-General from ...1500 a year to!ecaoks by fees alone. Bat even with this enormous all cwance, that officer neglected his duty, not.living in the town of Rio. Ile bad farm-d his pro - as to the Vice-Consul, from whom again it had fallen into the bands of a Clerk. At least two and a Its:f per cent. was levied on all British merchandise, and that for merely certifying the s cle of it. This wa s three times the amount of the duties exacted at Lisbon, or any other port. , -- Goods could be conveyed in American ships without any duty, and the probable effects of this system would be comprehended, when it was known that the increase in the number of British ships going to that port, had been sii.ce 1815, from 75 to ,155. The Petitioners prayed that this Bill might be repealed, and another introduced, tending to place British,commerce on an equal footing with that of other countries. This prayer he should himself attempt to carry into effect when a Return, for which he bad moved, should be laid on the table. lle moved that the Petition should be brought up, and then, if there were no objection, he would move to renew the order of last year, for certain Returns, that they might come to the discussion with proper information on the subject. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, that labouring, as he then did, under severe indisposition, he should take an occa sion, at some future period, when be should be better prepared, of explaining his sentiments c n the subject. Mr. T. WILSON, as the Noble Marquis, from the se- Vere cold under whith he laboured, could not toter into the subject at present, hoped be might by allowed to say, that be trusted it would be thz care of his Majesty's Government •to guard against a measure intended for the protection of our com merce being turned into an engine of oppression.—The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. HUisin then moved an Address to the Crown, praying for a Return of the total amount of Contributions levied on Eng lish Ships at the Brazils—a specifugation of the Names of the -parties to whom the payments were made, and other Papers re. lative to the same subject.—Agreed to.
