._ • . lb • ¼ Ti I Is' EVENING STAR. LONDON. 1 R; • i f t : • I I +~~ 'RUSSIA, AND TURKEY. GREAT BRITAIN, AUGSBURG ; OCTOBER C 4. The Gazette Universelte publishes this day the first part of the Note transmitted on the 30th of August to .the Reis Effendi by Lord Strang ford. It was this Note . which occasioned the conces,ions made by the Porte to Russia. It appears from this document that the Court of Petersburgh leaves in state quo the question es to those pacts of Asia claimed by the Turks, and that no men tion is made of the Greeks. ".The undersigned, Ambassador Extraordinary from his Majesty the King of Great Ihitain, considers it his duty to remind his Excellency the Reis Effendi of the overtures which he had the honour to make on his re turn from Verona, the counsels which were dictated to him by the most cordial and disinterested country; in fine, all those ptoofs of the lively interest which his Bri tannic Majesty does not cease to•feel for the prosperity of the Ottoman Empire. • " The undersigned must particularly call to thorecol lection of his Excellency the pacific overtures which he was authorized to make to the Divan en the part of.his Majesty the Emperor of Russia. These overtures would have been followed ere now by the most complete suc cess, were it not for the erroneous measures which the Sablime Porte had the - misfortune to pursue. They most necessarily have influenced the- generous send- Ments of his Imperial Majesty. •'',“ But when his Excellency the Reis Effendi caused a Note to be transmitted tir the.ltuseian Ministet, ex pressing a desire to re-establish former friendly rela tions, the undersigned was bound to conclude, that no further obstacle existed to an arrangement which seemed equally desired by both Courts. He had no doubt as to the effect produced by this Note at Peters burgh. The Emperor Alexander, too powerful to fear war, and too just to undertake it without the most co gent motives, did not conceal the pleasure he felt at such pacific dispositions. " But on a sudcten the Divan was observed to stop short in the course that must have led to perfect conci liation, after two years of unceasing negotiation. Adopting a curse diametrically opposite, the Porte adopted measures the most injurious to its friendly ad vances. It attacked the interests of Russia, did not re cognise its rights, and even wounded in every point the Pow et s which testified to it the deepest-interest. Was it under such circumstances that the returoof the Rus sian Ambassador to Constantiqople could take place? He would have been exposed to witness the insults which were offered every day to the fly of his Sovereign. A violent rupture would have been inevitable, and the friends of peace would have to deplore a new crisis, which it would not be possible to avert as before. " His Majesty the Emperor of Russia wished that his Ambassadors might be the Ambassadors of peace, and not the heralds of war. If this Monarch then sent no Ambassador to Constantinople, it only proved his desire to preserve the peace which still subsisted between him and the Ottoman Porte. On its part, the Porte pretend* that it has demands to make on Russia. It is, however, evident that no effectual negotiation can take place ex 'cept at Constantinople itself, and not through the inter vention of a mediator. If then the Porte sincerely desires a termination to the existing difficulties, it should re move all obstacles to the return of an Ambassador from his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias."

At Badajuz a Regency has been appointed, and an Austrian party has been raised,' which put forward the rights the Emperor of Austria to the Spanish Crown. In Gallicia a Junta has been formed ; in short, focuses of resistance are everywhere organized. " At Corunna the Constitutional Alcalde, and several' other persons of tote, distinguished for their liberal sentiments, have been thrown into the prisons of the In. quisition, where they are treated with the utmost rigour. " I have just seen a French column going out in car_ riages. It is sent towards Estramadura. " Absolutely nothing is known of General Balenizat, or the French column pursuing it. The same silence as to Placentia." Our intelligence from Madrid of this morning, via Bayonne,. is of considerable interest, if true. It is said that a considerable body of the Cadiz Militia, after they were disarmed, escaped to Estramadura, where they were joined by the remains of the army of BALLASTS• ROS, and that they had Taken Cordova. Private letters from. Madrid state that 6,000 French troops have been ordered to Estramadura, from which it may be inferred that the Constitutionalists are in force in that province. A paragraph in our Bayonne intelligence confirms what we said as to the mission of Count Pozzt DI Boaoo to Spain. Ultra royalist missionaries are traversing Spain, exciting the people against the Cons4tutionalists. The following are extracts : MR. CANN/KG. A special meeting of the Mayon and Corporation of Plymouth, was held on Wednesday, at the Guild hall, for the purpose of presenting to the Right Hon. GEOItGE CANNING, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the freedom of the Borough, which had been unanimously voted .to him at a Common Hall specially convened, on Saturday the 18th instant. At twelve o'clock, Mr. CANNING entered the Hall, amidst the loudest acclamations, accompanied by the Recorder, Sir W. ELFORD, Bart..who had been in waiting to re ceive him. Mr. CANNING-having taken his seat next the M i .: y iu o r r . , s d e c i m e t R ai. ; c c o a r n d n e i n r g r . ! s l e h a a v n e d the honour of informing you, that the Mayor and Commonalty, convened fbr that purpoie; have unanimously resolved to present to you the Freedom of this ancient Borough, in the most honourable mode in which they have the power of conferring it—namely by patent—and in which you will find that the motive of the resolution is stated to he, a consideration of your various and eminent public services." The worthy Re corder then turning to, and addressing the 'Wayne and Gentlemen of the Common Hall.,(aid—" It must he needless to observe to you, Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen of the Common Hall, that in this country it is one of the necessary results, and one of the best safe guards of our free and excellent Constitution, that the charactefs and conduct of public men should be freely canvassed, and even severely scrutinized ; and that, in the exercise of this salutaty privilege, when party feelings mingle in the discussion, it can not be wondered at that they are grossly misrepresented by some, and, of course, greatly misunderstood by others. The Right Honourable Gentleman ( Mr. Canning) has too long and too much attracted public attention not to have experienced some of these results. in common with others in similar situations. If be has had a large share of those animadversions, it has been only because such attacks are generally proportioned to the emi nence, the talents, and the influence of the individuals against whom they are directed—(Much applause.) It has been the fate of some great and eminent men to have been so repeatedly misrepre sented, and their purest motives and best actions so distorted, that their real characters have not been fairly and duly appreciated, at least not honestly acknowledged, till after the occurrence of that hour to which we must air, in our turns, arrive—when the rancour of party is extinguished in the better feelings of our nature.— Long may it be before the Right Honourable Gentleman's merits shall be developed by such a test—(Repeated shouts of applause.) Indeed, in his case. it is unnecessary. He has had the peculiar good fortune; or, I should rather say, the good conduct, for that is generally the parent of good fortune, to render that tardy develope ment in his case unnecessary. We have all seen frequent instances wherein he has extorted from even the most violent of his political antagonists, honest, although perhaps short-lived, confessions of his high merits, in the different situations he has filled during the course of his political life. Recent events lead us confidently to antici pate more demonstrations of a similar tendency. 'flic Administration of which the Right Hon. Gentleman is so prominent a member, and whose official situation as Foreign Minister, must, in the case I am referring to, have given him a preponderating influence, adopted the wise and enlightened policy of advising his Majesty not to in terfere in the struggle lately carrying on in the Peninsula. The sys tem of neutrality thus determined on, although assailed from without as we may suppose, by a powerful confederacy, and attacked from within by a few, who urged and goadell tae Government to enter into the war, from motives very different from those they assigned, and by a very large number of others of a very different description, who, from a real, iineere, and enthusiastic love of liberty, which may Om forbid we should ever see abated; and which can only be injurious when it is greatly misdirected. That neutrality, thus as sailed from without and witldn,.was so religiously and inviolably persevered hi, as to leave all doubts of the sincerity of the Govern ment far behind; and we were thus preserved from entering into an expensive r unrostrand perhaps disastrous war—while the welfare and best interestT of the country were maintained, and its honour, its dignity, and its character, were never for one moment impeached or compromised. More recent events have demonstrated, that at the' earliest moment which the case would •admit of, the most prompt attention of Government has been directed to the estab lishment of commercial relations between' this country and a con— siderable portion of Southern America; now opening a large field to mercantile speculation in that quarter of the world. Gen tlemen, front the little I have said, and from much more which you know, I am sure you will join me in sincerely hoping that the Right Hon. Gentleman may long continue an active member of his Majesty's Government; and that while we andids Majesty's sub jects reap the fruits of his councils, he may himself receive the highest reward that this world can bestow, compared with which, the reluctant approbation of political adversaries, and even the warm praises of his friends, are light in the balance—that approbation of his own mind, which necessarily results, from a consciousness that he has, to the utmost of his power, truly and faithfully served his cofintt;—(Applause). Gentlemen, it has often been my good for tune, in obedience to your directions, to present the Freedom of this Borough to some of the most distinguished characters that this or any other age or country has produced. I can assure the Right Hon. Gentleman that I never performed' a duty of this kind, from which I derived a greater pleasure, than that I am now executing, nor a higher gratification than in being the channel through which this testimony of our high esteem and respectful consideration passes into the Right Hon. Gentleman's possession." (Continued applause), The RECORDER having, at the conclusion of his speech, presented the Right Hon. Gentleman with the Patent, inclosed in a handsome box, cut out of a very fine block of the Breakwater marble, richly set in silver, Mr. CANNING rose, and said— ,* Ma. MAYOR AND GINTLEUEN—,I accept with thankfulness, and with greater satisfaction than I can express, this flattering testimony of your good opinion and good will. I must add, that the value of the gift itself has been greatly enhanced by the manner in which your worthy and Hon. Recorder has developed the mo tives which suggested it, and the sentiments which it is intended to convey. Gentlemen, your Recorder has said very truly, that whoever in this free and en lightened State aims at political eminence, and dis charges political duties, must expect to have his conduct scrutinized, and every action of his public life sifted with no ordinary jealousy, and with no sparing criticism; and such may have been my lot as mush as that of other public men, -But, Gentlemen, unmerited obloquy inildern fails of an adequate, thOugh perhaps tardy com pensation. I must think myself, as my Hon. Friend has said, eminently fortunate, if such compensation as he describes has fallen to me at an earlier period than to many others; if I dare flatter myself (as his partiality bas flattered me) that the sentiments that you are kind enough to entertain for me, are in unison with those'of the conntry—if, in , addition to the justice done me by my fri6nds, I may (as he has assured me) rely upon a . i;surdid construction even from political opponents. " But, Gentlemen, the secret of such a result does not lie deep. It consists only in an honest and undeviating pursuit of what one conscientiously believes to be ones public duty; a pursuit which, steadily continued, will, however detached and separate parts of a man's con jiluct may be viewed under the influence of partialities `or prejudices, obtain for it, when considered as a • whole, die approliation.of all lior.:_st and honourable Aninds. Any man may be occasionally mistaken as to the means most conducive to the end which he has in view; but if the end be just and praiseworthy, it is by that that he will beoltinnately judged, either by his con temporaries or by posterity—( Applause. )—.Gentlemen, the end which I confess I have always had in view, and which appears to me the legitimate object of pursuit to a British Statesman, I can describe in one word. The language of modern philosophy is wisely and diffusely benevolent, it protlises the perfection of our species, and the amelioration of the lot of all Mankind. Gentle men, I hope that my heart beats as high for the general interest of.hunianity—l hope that 1 have as friendly a ,wards other nations of the earth as any one his philanthropy most highly, but I am. ) confess, that in the conduct of political' grand object of my contemplation is the in "land—(chuck upp/au.re). • . . " Not, Gentlemen; that the interest of England 44 interest which stands isolated and alone. Tr io situatieg which she holds, forbids an exclusive selfishness ; h er prosperity must contribute to the prosperity of m i xt nations, and her stability to the safety of the wor l d... (Bursts of Applause.) But intimately connected as s r , are with the system of Europe, it does not follow th at we are, therefore, called upon to mix Ourselves on ev occasion, with a restless and meddling activity in the concerns of the nations which surround us. It is use i a just balance of conflicting, duties, and of rival ba t sometimes incompatible advantages, that a G , nernm eit must judge when to put forth its strength, and %clien t . husband it for occasions yet to come. 41 Our ultimate object must be the peace of the world That object may sometirns2 be best attained by pro mpt exertions — sometimes by abstinence from interpositim in contests which we cannot prevent. It is upon these principles that, as has been most truly observed by m y worthy friend, it did first appear to the Government of this country to be necessary that Great Britain should mingle in the recent contest between France and Snail " Your worthy Recorder has accurately classed the persons who would have driven us into that co There were undoubtedly among them those who de. sired to plunge this country into the difficulties of war , partly from the hope that those difficulties would ove,. whelm the Administration; but it would he most uni t i s e not to admit, that there were others who were actu. ated by nobler principles and more generous feel. ings, who would have rushed forward at once from the sense of indignation at aggression, and wh o deemed that no act of injustice could be perpetrat e d from one end of the Universe to the other, but that the sword of Great 3ritaiti should leap from its scabbard to avenge. it. (Applause.)—But as it is the province of Law to contimd the excess, e ve g of laudable passions and propensities in individuals, so it is the duty *of Government to restrain within due bounds the ebullition of national sentiment, and to regulate the course and direction of impulses which it cannot blame. Is there any one am -ng the latter class of persons described by my honourable friend (for to the former I have nothing to say), who continues to doulst whether the Government did wisely in declining to obey the precipitate enthusiasm which prevailed at the commencement of the contest in Spain? —(Applause). Is there anybody who does not now think, that it was the office of Government to examine more closely all the various. bearings of So complicated a question, to consider whether they were called upon to assist an united nation, or to plunge themselves into the internal feuds by which that nation was divided—torrid in repelling a,foreign invader, or to take, part in a civil war ?—(Applause). Is there any man who does not now see what would have been the extent of burdens that would have been cast upon this country ? Is there any one who does not acknoivledge that under such circuto• stances, the enterprize would have been one to be chi. racterized only by a term borrowed from that part of the Spanish literature with which we are meat familiar —Quixotic—an enterprize romantic in its origin and thankless in its end ?—(Much applause). " But while we thus controul even our feelings by our duty, let it not be said, that we cultivate peace either because we fear, or bee:lose we art unprepared for war ; on the contrary if eight months ago the Go. vernment did not hesitate to proclaim that the country was prepared for war, if War should unfortunately be necessary, every month or peace that has since past, has but made us so much the more capable of exertion. • The resources created by peace, are means of war. Its cherishing those resources, we but accumulate those means.. Our present repose is no More a proof of inabi lity to act, than the state of inertness and inactivity in which I have seen those mighty masses that float in the waters above your town, is a proof that They are de void of strength, and incapable of being fitted for action. —You well know, -Gentlemen, how soon one of those stupendous masses, now reposing on their shadows in perfect stillness—bow soon upon any call of patriotism or of necessity, it 'would assume the likeness of an am mated thing—instinct with life and motion—how sorsa it would ruse, as it were, its swelling plumage—how soon it would put forth all its beauty and its bravery, collect its scattered elements of strength, and awaken its dormant thunder (I,hunders of applause). Such, at is one of these magnificent machines when springing from inaction into a display of its might—such is Eng land herself; while apparently passive and motionless, she silently concentrates the power to be put forth at an adequate occasion. But GOD forbid that that occa sion should arise. After a war sustained for nearly a quarter of a century—sometimes single-handbd, and with all Europe arranged at times against her or at her side, England needs a period of tranquillity, and may enjoy it without fear of miscoestruction. Long may we be enabled, Gentlemen, to improve the bless ings of our present Situation, to cultivate the arts of peace, to give to commerce, now reviving, greater et• tension and new spheres of employment, and to confirm . the prosperity now generally difflued throughout this Island. Of the blessings of peace, Gentlemen, I trust that, this Borough, with which I have now the hosclur and happiness of being associated,will receive an ample share—(Great applause). I trust the time is not far die taut when that noble structure (of which,' as Y learn from your Recorder, the box with which you have his noosed me, through his hands; foamed a part), that gigantic barrier against the fury of the waves that roil into your harbour, will protect a commercial Marine not less considerable in its kind than the warlike marine of which your port has been long So distinguished as asylum—and when the town of Plymouth will pirti• cipate in the commercial prosperity as largely u tt has hitherto dime in the naval glories of England.."--(Tht Right Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst bursts of cheering, which lasted for several 'ninnies.) After the applause subsided, the Meeting dispersed. The populace who had colleded - outside the Guildhall great numbers, most enthusiastically cheered tile Right Hon Gentlemen, both as be entered and retired from the Hall.

He is said to be entrusted with a special mission from all the principal Sovereigns of the Continent, and,parti cularly from Louis XVIII. It seems certain that many of the regular troops and of the militia of Cadiz, whe bad been cantoned in the environs and disarmed, have withdrawn into the Se rania de Ronda and Estremadura ; that the remains of the army of Ballasteros have followed the example, and it is even reported that they have made them-, selves masters of Cordova. Those Provinces, and Estremadura, are full of partisans and robbers, with whom there are continual engagements; 4,000 French are ordered thither. Badajoz, Alicant, and Carthagena, have refused to submit. Mina defends himself; while the reinforcements of troops on their march to Catalo nia, and the immense quantities of ammunition, &c. coming from France, seems to indicate that the war is by no means. terminated.

He thought this satisfied the spirit of the last order of .the Howe of Lords upon that subject. This is thy first instance .we have witnessed or anl acknowledgment, from the Bench, of the authenticity of any other report of a trial, except that under the, signature of the Judge himself; before whom the cause is tried, and of treating that which is genuine in the same manner as that, which is authentic.
