A report prevails on 'Change this morning, that after the Russian ultimatuth was rejected, the Turks started a new proposition, on which the diplomatic cl:aracters are debating, and which it is supposed may I:.Et for some time before they come to a conclusion. T:.e next arrivals from the Contitient are eagerly c:pected, as it is supposed they will bring decisive • intelligence as to the affairs of Russia and Turkey ; as stell as some account of the ulterior operations of CIiOCRSCHID PACHA, a"ter his aims, so long occu- pied in beiieging Joannina, bad been relieved by the fall c: ALI Etat*. In the absence of positive in. formation, conjecture is always busy ; and some of our cotemporaries still speculate on peace, because war has not already been declared, as was imme diately expected from the Note said to have been transmitted by the Reis Effendi to the English and Austrian Ambassadors, on the 28th of February.— But although that Note was sufficiently indicative of the hostile disposition of the Porte, it at the same time declared that the Porte was not at war with Russia, notwithstanding all her provocations; and that, if the latter Power should commence hostilities, she had taken means to repel them. The onus of declaring war was thus left to Russia, unless the Emperor ALEXANDER should modify his demands. This, of course, would require a reference from the Russian Ambassador to his Court, and sufficient time for its decision has not yet elapsed. That the negotiations are for the present suspended ve have no doubt ; though we have no positive in- formation either from Lord STrutriorrono or from the Austrian Minister that their interference had been unavailing. The rejection of that interference by the Porte does not, as some of our cotemporaries seem to think, render it a necessary or even a probable :on sequen ce that the Ambassadors should quit Constan- tinople. Great Britain and Austria may for some ' time avoid engaging in the struggle, but we believe it will sooner or later embroil ail the Powers of Europe : since there is scarcely a single State from Austria and Poland down to the most petty German rincipality,that is not dissatisfied with its Government. —ln Austria, where the people dare scarcely breathe their feelings and opinions, discontent is almost uni versal : the Prussians are disgusted with the faithless promises that have been from time to time made to them, of a Representative Government. In Italy, force alone keeps down the spirit of-opposition to the iron yoke of Austria which prevails. In Naples and Sicily, the Government is still afraid of trusting either to its character or authority ; and the edicts of the Sovereign are carried into effect by the bayonets of the Austrians. In France, the people are so far from getting recon ciled to the BovaEols, that provinces long distin. Fished for their unalterable attachment to the fa mily are the foremost in expressing their discontent; and men without means sufficient to disturb the tranquillity of an ordinary village calculate so largely on the spirit of discontent which pervades the coun try, as to attempt to ovettkrow the Government with a band of school-boys, or a file of fifty men ; and although the plots are discovered and defeated, yet The principals arc never given up, but left at large to form new conspiracies, and again speculate on the weakness and unpopularity of the Government. Such being the state of Europe, it is easy to per ceive how much force the discontent would gather from war ; and how probable it is that the People would seize on such in opportunity to rise against the Powers that oppress them. The Holy Alliance may endeavour to stifle public opinion, and while the world is at peace, transfer their legions to crush the Pecile of any State who dare to think for them selves; but let the tocsin of war be once sounded in Europe, their unhallowed league would be dissolved, we trust never again to be united. Yesterday, the Princess AUGUSTA dined with the Duchess of KENT at her Royal Highness's residence iu the King's Palace. Kensington. • NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Gibraltar Papers to the 18th tilt. have been re ccived, which contain the following instrument, issued by Sir THOMAS MAITLAND: " PROCLAMATION. " His Excellency the Governor having maturely and delibe rately considered the important question, how far the corn mono poly, which has existed for centuries In those Islands, shall be done away with, and having called to his aid the opinions of such persons in these Islands who thought themselves competent to give any opinion on the subject, he feels himself disposed, though with considerable doubt and difficulty on his part, to try the experiment of throwing open the commerce of this most impor tant article of necessity. His Excellency does it with doubt and difficulty, because be is convinced, generally speaking, that the wisest system of Government is to adhere to what has been prac tically ascertained to be beneficial to the people, in lieu of set ting up novel theoretical speculations. Anxious, however, as his Excellency is to give a fair trial to what is thought will prove ultimately beneficial to these Islands, and equally alive to the necessity at the present moment of stretching any point that even bears the appearance of increasing either the commerce, or of giving employment to the lower classes of the people here, he is pleased to proclaim for general Information, that, on the Ist of July next, the commerce of grain of every kind shall be thrown open in these Islands. " Having come to this determination, his Excellency deems it to be his duty to state, that it is not his intention that Govern ment should interfere in any manner (beyond what is hereafter mentioned) with the commerce of grain when once thrown open, so long as the poorer classes of the inhabitants be supplied with bread at a fair and moderate rate ; but as the Government must keep a stock on hand Co prevent any scarcity, or any sudden or excessive rise in the price of corn, and as it must continue its as sistance in providing for the inhabitants, should such high price be of any continuation, he deems it absolutely necessary, to se cure the interests of Government on one hand, and to protect the agricultural interests on the other, to adopt the following reguLs tions and restrictions on this head: _ _ _ " 1. That, upon aU wheat imported into these Islands, for con. stimption, a duty of four scudi per salm shall be levied, if im ported in vessels under the British or lonian flag, and five scudl per salm, if imported in foreign vessels. " 2. That, upon Indian corn imported into these Islands, for consumption, a duty of three scudi per salm shall be levied, if imported in British or lonian vessels, and three and a half if im ported in foreign vessels. " 3. That, upon all barley, rye, or other kinds used in making bread, a duty of two and a halt scudi, in British or lonian; and three in foreign. " 4. All paste flour, semolla, or farsa, four scudi. (The remainder of the Proclamation relates entirely to the details of carrying this important measure into execution). By command of his Excellency, (Signed) " RICHARD PL:ISKET. " Dated l'alace, Valetta, Jan. 24, 1822." Wednesday, the Princess Aucusra dined with the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, where there was a select party to meet the Princess. Wednesday, the Princess SOPHIA visited the Prin cess AUGUSTA. Wednesday and yesterday, the Princess AUGUSTA rode out with the Duchess of GLOUCESTER. The Hon. Lady SMITH is much indisposed at her house in Piccadilly, in consequence of a fall in alight- 1 ing from her carriage. Mr. MAITLAND, of Norbury Palk, Surrey, is the purchaser of the reversion of the fine Hestercombe estate, in Somersetshite, for the sum of £3BOO. The plantation on the south side of the road be tween Bothwell-bridge and Hamilton, belonging to the Duke of HAMILTON, has lately been disposed of by his Grace's factor, Mr. BROWN, for L:2000. A belt ing is reserved to factthe road. The number of works of art that were sent in on Monday and Tuesday last to the Royal Academy, fur the coming Exhibition, are said to exceed those of any former year. ADELPHI THEATRE.—Last night a crowded au dience were assembled at this Theatre to witness Mr. ALEXANDRE'S ventriloquial talents. It is not, how ever, merely as a ventriloquist that Mr. ALEXANDRI is to be considered, although in that he is unrivalled; but there is really a great deal of dramatic talent about him, which, with the astonishing powers of il lusion that he possesses, produces the wonderful effect of half a dozen actors by his own single exertions— He assumes successively the appearance of a gallant young soldier, a love-sick maiden, a gouty Alderman ' and his spouse, and a roguish servant ; and appears to hold commune with a number of invisible agents, by the mere transitions of his voice. The Piece in which he exhibits all this is a slight dramatic sketch ', enlivened by puns, jokes, and other slight sparklings of wit and humour. His exertions were honoured with the mast unqualified applause. ARGYLE-Rooms.--Mr..PurNata's Readings and Recitations last night attracted a very crowded and elegant audience at these Rooms. His selection of Readings was much diversified, passing from grave to gay, from lively to severe ; and in all these he displayed very superior talents. Mr. PUT NAM possesses a fine voice, a correct enunciation, which, combined with pleasing manners and graceful action, give great effect to his powers of declamation. . . r lara kw' vaimenarria SEB3IONB.—TAIS DAY. _ ONO it.

This prosecution was in l s s t t it ßim u e te g db eyntthoef Lords LifeG uoafrt the Treasury, and conducted by Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mi. WALFORD, the defence by Mr. ALLEY. Mr. WALPORD briefly stated the case, and called the following witnesses on behalf' of the prosecution. Joseph Freck, a trumpeter, of the Ist Regiment of Life Guards, deposed to his having been at the B own Bear public-house, at Knightsbridge, on the day named in the indictment, when the funeral of Honey and Francis was passing, it was about seven o'clock ; some of the persons assembled said, " Here comes one of them!" (meaning witness)—he was in stantly attacked, beaten, and had his medal forci bly torn from his breast ; some other soldiers coming up, rescued him, and he was taken into the Barracks. Deligate, at the time, was in the Brown Bear public house, and the first that came out on hearing of the tumult in the street. Francis Deligate corroborated the statement of the last witness, and in addition stated that the windows of the barracks were broken. After Alderman Waith man had ordered the soldiers into their barracks, he retired towards Hyde Park-corner. James Hitchman and Thomas Taylor, also belong ing to the same Regiment, corroborated the testi mony of the last witness, and also that the windows of the barracks were broken, to the number of 284 squares, by the mob throwing stones and brickbats. Mr. ALLEY then proceeded at g'reat length to ad dress the Court and Jury on behalf of thedofendant. The CHAIRMAN then summed up the evidence with his usual impartiality, when the Jury, after con sulting for a few minutes, returned a verdict of Not Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the new Directors elected on Wednesday last, viz. WILLIAM ASTELL, Esq. CHAS. aeon Pancorr, Esq. CHARLES GRANT, Esq. GEORGE SMITH, Esq. CAMPBELL M•RPORIBANZS,F.sq. SIVENT TOONE, Esq. took the oaths and their seats. Jamas PArrisou, Esq. and WIL LIAM WIg,AI. Esq. M. P. were elected Chairman and Deputy- Chairman for the year ensuing. It is stated in a private Letter from Paris, of Mon day last, that an attempt had recently been made to corrupt a regiment in the garrison at Marseilles, and to induce them to march upon Toulon, for the pur pose of seizing the arsenal, with all its arms, ammu , onion, icc. The plot was stifled before it had time to break out, by the arrest of an Officer, upon whom was seized the whole correspondence of the conspira tors, of whom a Lieutenant-Colonel CA now was the Chief—he has fled. This affair has not yet been men tioned by a single Journal in Paris ; but the parties arrested have been seat to be tried at the Assizes of Avignon. The annual bill of mortality for Liverpool, for the last year, has just been published. From this docu ment we learn the singular fact, that the population of that town has decreased during the year 1821. It appears the births have decreased 89, whilst the burials have increased 340. In the marriages there is also a decrease of 21.

Monday se'nnight, a flock of about thirty swans made their appearance, hovering about the river Southesk, between the bridge of Brechin and the . Castle-pool. One of them, supposed to have been wounded in the Back Sands, was unable to wing its way with the rest of its companions, and alighted on , the river, where it was shot. This rare and beauti ful bird weighed upwards of twenty-four pounds, and measured seven feet and a half between the tips of the wings, and four feet ten inches from the bill to the point of the tail. It was given to Mr. Ross of the Swan Ina, who is to have it stuffed. The rest of the flock returned in about two hours, in search of their wounded (but by that time dead) companion, went away sorrowful, returned again, and then bade a final adieu to a place where the imperious lords of the earth would not allow them to make a passing visit, without turning the most potent engines of death and destruction against them. The old and singular custom of cracking the gad or whip, in Castor Church, on Palm Sunday, has been, again performed. An estate at Broughton, near Brigg, is held by this custom. On the morning of Palm Sunday, the game-keeper, or some servant on the estate, brings with him a large gad or whip, with a long thong : the stock is made of the mountain ash, or wickin tree, and tied to the end of it is a leather purse, containing 30 pence (said to have in it formerly 30 pieces of silver) ; while the Clergyman is reading the first lesson (Exodus ix.) the man having the whip cracks it three atnes in the church porch I and then wraps the thong round the stock, and brings it on his shoulder through the church, to a seat in the chancel, where he continues till the second lesson is read (Matthew xxvi.) he then brings the gad, and kneeling upon a Eat before the pulpit, he waves it three times over the Clergyman's head (the thong is fastened, as before observed), and continues to hold it till the whole of the lesson is read, when he again returns to his seat, and remains till the service is over. He then delivers the gad to the occupier of a faun. called Huudon, half a mile from Castor. _ • --117-v- • . 1 NEWMARKWI' CRAVEVMEETING. 4, . . fillialliatf, APRIL 11. des of 1100 gs. each, h.ft. for Sides, Ili.

The grand Match, between the 12 members of the Midghans Club, and 12 picked men from Rants, Wilts, Ozon, Surrey, Somerset, and Bucks, took place on Wednesday, agreeably to articles, in the Foley Meadows, Hants ; and the trial was for 15 guineas each, amounting to nearly 5300. The Club had been beat lately by picked men from three Counties ; and in another match last week, were successful. The present one was made to shoot at eleven birds each, from a trap at 21 yards.— The following was the order of the sport : VAINTISS. ►ILLED.

Some of the shooting was indifferent on both sides, but the strong winds were much against the guns. BOXING AND BULL-BAITING. • The fanciers of these pastimes, from the Corinthian sprig of fashion to the Dustman, mustered strong in a spacious field seven miles down the Uxbridge road. The day's diversion cut out was, first the light between Latham, a scientific pugilist, who had before been celebrated . in the rrize sing, and the Tottenham Court-road Hopper (his travelling name); and secondly, the nail between the subscription bull and the buli•rs. Harry liolt se ' conded Latham, and Paddington Jones picked up the /Inv.. to lon Latham. It was for a purse of £lO.. The battle lasted 26 minutes,in which 17 rounds were fought. In the first, Latham made the play, and placed several hits which were not returned. The Hopper made a rush, and was floored in attempting to close. 4 2 and 7; were busy rounds, but Latham's skill kept his adver sary at a puzzle, and when endeavouring to rally he was met by a facer, and was undermost in the fall in both rounds. 4. The Hopper made some hits; in a close Latham was down. 5. The Hopper tried to go to work, and be made a heavy Mary-la-banns stop, which set his head harlequinading, and he was thrown. After this the Hopper seemed mu very bad terms with him self, and Latham unmuzzled at him in good form, and kept the lead till he won the fight. The Hopper never gave a turn to the battle, although the heaviest man. Latham won without sus taining any injury. The bull defeated all his adversaries. ' Another battle took place on the road home, for a purse of two guineas, given by a Corinthian fond of plenty of sport. The combatants were Virgil, a travelling tinker, and a butcher out of work. The tinker wen it, after a slaughtering fight of ten minutes, by cracking his opponent's jaw. A NEST or SwtsnLras.—A discovery of a notorious gang of swindlers has lately been made by the Police, who have succeeded to a very great extent in their impositions upon various trades people at the west end of the town. Information having been laid at Mary-la-Bonne Police Office, srveral of the parties were taken into custody, and brought to the °lace yesterday. Some of the tradespeople imposed upon attended and gave evidence, after which the prisoners were rewaadei fur further examination FATAL Acme:T.—Wednesday evening, Mr. Bui.n.s, a re spectable hatter, of Brighton, had been with a friend, Mr. Ksowt.r.s, of Cuwfold, in a gig, to Newhaven, and returning thence, bad halted for a few minutes, at half past nine o'clock, at the inn at Rottingdean. In less than two hours after they had left that place they were found on the beach, not far frem Roe dean-gap, dreadfully mutilated, and quite dead, having, from some cause or other, been precipitated from the cliff road, above one hundred feet in depth. The gig in which they Ind r, de w..s reduced to fragments, the wheels excepted, and the lifeless body of the horse completed the tragic picture.
