This the House would see was a work of considerable difficulty and labour, and he confessed that in the Bill he intended to introduce, be had been assisted by the labours of a Levied Friend, whose astride* bad long been directed to the subject of roweelidetieg the laws.

Mr. DAWSON considered that a Bill of this eaters was much wanted, and would be of great use. bad his fall Dr. LUSHINIFITON said, that as the Bill would not be in a Committee before the middle of March, theretereald be plenty of time for his Hon. Friood (Me. Boreal) to make the inquiries he desired. Lave weeders given to bring is the Bill. Mr. DAMSON laid on the table a Report of the comparative Population of the different Counties of Eaglaud. A return eas ordered to be made of all fees and emote/Gents received by the Solicitor of the Escise for the years 1820, 1921, whether from the Commissioners or Whitfield,. On the motion of Mr. LUIIIIINOTON, Mr. Baoonan brought up the Report on the motion for Supply. which having been read, it was resolved, that the Hesse go into a Committee of Supply to-morrow. Mr. LUSHINOTON, in reply to a question pot, by Mr. Home, said it was the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to propose some new regulation with refer• tree to the masagemest of the Stamp-Ace in the coarse if the &taloa.

Mr. Marten, the Secretary, intro dosed to the notice of the Chairman and the Meeting, the two Owyhee Chiefs, who some months ago ap peared before the Lord Mayor in a state of the most deplorable misery; but who sow (Mr. M. observed), thanks to the humanity which always distinguished the Eaglish nation, were placed in comparative prosperity. The Earl of Roeheavage, the Hon. O. Villiers, and other Gentlemen addressed the Meeting, and several Rcaolations, in 'furtherance of its objects, went passed.

The, body had been cut oat of solid wood.

(the first point is discussion, which admits no qualification, and, with reference to the state of rebellion, ought to he subject to no delay) she bas signified, that under present circumstances she can. not, wb a may be the motive, deliver those fugitives whom the Sublime Porte demands by virtue of treaties, and because she considers that delivery essential to the re-establishment of tranquillity. With regard to the (heck spathes, which is forming imaginary projects of creating a country, and rendering herself independent, she has begs' by ovevolt, in the two principalities, and is some other districts, from the Ottoman, empire. As I at this moment she continues to hoist the standard of in satrectioa, and to carry on war la different provinces. the Sublime Porte, in the sole view of maintaining good order in tier state, sail in order to restore public tran quillity, proceeds to chastise tbs rebels aecordiag to the dictates of necessity, therichts of sovereignty, said the interests of her internal affairs. Is this state of things. It wash' be highly inconvenient to withdraw the Odo m troops from Walachia and Moldavia, andio eppoint and send Princes thither; for those revisers would then bowies an asylam and refuge for traitors sad robbers. tionever this may be, it would appear that the end of Hauls, le motet up this pratension, is to obtain the couniesatico Saropo is acting at her owl discretion. n•ri" wit siesta the Sublime Porte, is inlets (sod s clear as the day) with every species of laeoave niesee, both as it touches upon civil or national rel.- sr as it concerns those of 'swami of religion.

Nobody can doubt abet the Court of Russia, by persist ing in her domaal noon this point—a point altogether incompatible with the internal regulations of the Sublime Porte(aod this is also as clear asdal,) pursues a course contrary to the rights of nations and of go- r it is possible, then, in the last resort to modify this affair after the following manner :—to wit, that anti! the rebellion ceases, the Sabha» Porte shall retain posses sion of the two provinces by °Seers whom she has there established, witb such a number of troops only as may suffice for their protection agaisat depredators, and with out the slightest molestation of the Rajahs; thst she will relinquish to the Greeks those affairs which concern the principalities, sad which are now directed by the Uaimacaas, who are also Greeks; and that at present the evacuation of the provinces and the nomination of Princes be deferred. As to the suh)ect of churches, which is one of the points under discussion, there will be no objection as soon as the revolt shall be subdued, to their repanstion and re-eoustruetion, as far as the law will permit. is whatever way they may have been iejored. la what regards the free exercise of the Christi's re- neon, the Sublime Porte, as in time past, besmear said aught evilest the exercise. • I The punichasent are confined to individuals who. in open rebellion, refused the amnesty; and it Is known that protection is extended to these who have not raised the standard of revolt. As soon as rebellion shall cease. ;nishasent will cease.

Allthis being generally known. and your Pacer leney agreeing as to the truth of the facts, it is superflu ous here to repeat them. It would inspire pleasure to think that, as all the friends of the Sublime Porte, listening with a spirit of moderation to her just complaints on the points above mentioned, which she has proved to be founded in jus tice, and conformable to national rights, equity, and truth, avow such without hesitation; so the Court of Russia, on her part, will observe what is due to right and justice. In this hope, the Sublime Porte prays the Court of ' England, erhuse rood-will towards both parties cannot he &shad. that isileerting all the means wkleb sincere friendship and jambe require, she would employ her good Daces to semi% the way to a final arrangement of the differences existinbetwere the Stabilise Porte and the Court of Russia. With this object the present Note bee bees drawn up and transmitted to your Excel lency the Ambassador of England.

This clumsiest, which is a Manifesto or Declaration of the sentiments of the Porte, on the pilots at lune, while highly complimentary to Rag-' laud aid her Ambassador, does not treat the pretensions of Russia in term, of much civility. Russia, ft ap pears, bad refused to deliver up the Greek fugitives. whom the Porte bad demanded as the first point in discussion, which admitted of no qualification, sad ought to be subject to no delay. This refusal the Pert' considers as a violation of the law of nations, and.treats the Russian demand of the evacuation of 'davit' and Walachia, as indicative of a design on he "art of Russia to obtain the countenance of Sc ram "la acting at her ewe discretion."
