John M By the accounts from India, which will be found in another part of our Paper, it appears that the expectations ►which we entertained of the speedy ratification of the treaty with the King of AVA have not been justified by the event. It certainly does appear at present that the British Commander has allowed himself to be over-reached by the barbarians, whose interest it is decidedly to delay the war and detain our forces as long as possible in a noxious climate. At the same time, though we lament the additional sacrifice of lives which must be the conse quence of the renewal of hostilities, we do not regret the event in any other point of view. The King of AVA has shewn, in his negotiations with our Commanders, what confidence is to be placed in his promises, and what hopes we ought to entertain of ever securing his friendship. We are not sorry to see our Government seduced to the neces sity of still farther crippling his means of annoyance, EXHIBITION OF MR. C. BULLOCK'S MODEL OF THE BATTLE OF POICTIERS. A private view of this elaborate and very ingenious specimen of Alr.T. Bullock's highly cultivated and refined taste, as well as of his indefatigable industry anti perseverance. took place on Saturday morning, when the spacious room et N 0.209, Regent -street, where this splendid model is being exhibited, was crowded during the principal part of the day with a numerous uses blage of rank and fashion, who all testified their warm admiration and most unquali fied praise at the success which has attended Mr. I. u:lock's brilliant exertions of his rare and peculiar talents. Mr. Bullock has selected for the subject of the above exhibition the memorable battle of Poictiers, one of a sere of splendid con quests which distinguished the history of that time, but rendered more peculiarly memorable than others by the capture of John, King of France, and the destruction of 800 of the flower of his no. bility, at By be dtfa well-trained army, whose numerical strength exceeded sevenfold that of the comparatively small band of heroes opposed to them ; and who, in addition to this disadvantage, were in extreme want of fontge for their horses and (God for themselves. The period of the battle represented is towards its close, when, ac. cording to the veracious historian, Froissart, " .Friends and foes were intermixed that it was difficult to distinguish between them." This model, taken collectively, possesses so many just claims to the admiration of the mail of taste and genius, as well as to.the scholar, the antiquary, the sculptor, and the pointer, that we should per. haps be doing an act of Injustice to the whole, by selecting for ani. The following is the official account of the renewal of hostilities with the Burmese, as contained in a letter ad dressed to Commodore Sir James Brisbane, by Captain Chads, of his Majesty's ship Alligator, and transmitted by Sir James to the Admiralty : MELt.ouw, JAX. 20, 1826. The time granted for the receipt of the ratification of the Treaty for Peace, by the Court of Asa, having expired on the 18th Instant, and the Burman Chiefs continuing to act with base duplicity and evasion, no alternative way left the Commander of the Forces (Sir A. Campbell) than the painful one of renewing hostilities, which was done yesterday. and was attended, J rejoice to gay, with the complete defeat of the enemy, and the capture of 31elloun, with all the ordnance, boats, commissariat stores, and a small quantity of treasure. Sir A. Campbell having made his disposition for the attacks of Melloun, about eleven o'clock, and in a short time, having made the necessary impression, the works were stormed in a fine gallant style. The enemy fled in the utmost confusion, with great lois, leaving us in possession of the stockade, with, I regret to say, the gallant Col. Sale and Major Frith severely wounded, and about twenty casualties. [Here follow the names of Officers who distiogu ished themselves Ate. and other minor details.] I have the honour to remain, H. D.

No one who ever witneased an Election will say that it can be conducted without popular dissensions. To prevent the consequences of these, the military must be called in. In the present state of things an election, occurring so sel dom, produces but little mischief ; but were it to happen ' every year, the soldiery and the people would become mu tually irritated beyond reconciliation, and the question would lie between popular anarchy and military oppression. We give this only as one instance in which the foresight of these gen..lemen is a little at fault. We should expect of legislators who are so determined in their opinions, that they would look steadily at all the consequences of their measures. We find, however, that they have looked nar rowly enough at one side of the suhject, but they have entirely forgotten the other. They have devised schemes in abundance for increasing the democratic principle in the Elections, but they have forgotten entirely the methods of preventing its excesses; and their neglect in providing means to restrain it, would speedily destroy it altogether.

General Roch has addressed to the Greek Committee at Paris the following document : RESOLUTION OF THE EIGHTH NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AT EPIDAI:RUR. His Excellency the Ambassador of His Britannic Majesty at Constantinople is requested to treat of peace between the Ottoman Porte and the Greeks, on the following conditions, viz.: Art. I. That no Turk %Intl' be permitted to inhabit the Greek territory, or to possess any property in Greece, because it is int possible for the two people to live together. 2. That all the ionresses in the hands of the Turks in the limits of the Greek territory shall ba evacuated and given up to the Greeks. 3. That the Sultan shall have no influence over the internal or ganization, or over the Greek clergy. 4. That the Greeks may have a sufficient force for the safety of the interior of the country, and a marine to protect their commerce. 5. That they shall be governed by the sane regulations, and enjoy the name rights in the Peloponnesus, the continent of Greece, the isles of Etibma, Cnndi.t, of the Archipelago ; in a word, in all the provinces which have taken arms and Joined the Greek Go vernment. _ „. ..... 6. That the Articles mentioned in the present Act cannot be changed by the eV mbassalor, or by the Commission appointed by the National Assembly, which Commission is specially charged to correspond with his Excellency the English Ambassador. 7. That the Greeks shall retain their own flag. 11. That they shall have the right to coin money. 9. That the amount of tribute be fixed, and that the mode of payment be annual, or that it be paid at once—(qu'il soil unique.) 10. 'that an armistice be granted, and that in case the Porte should refuse to accede to these conditions, the Commission may apply to all the Courts of Europe to ask assistance and protection etthcr of all or of one in particular, and to act as it may judge the most conformable to the interests of the Greeks. PROTEST ADDRESSED TO THE THIRD NATIONAL. ASSEMBLY OP THE °REELS, AT EPIDAURUS, ON THE 12TH (24TH) wease,lB24. " Gentlemen—Both u a simple citizen, and as the author of the present struggle, I owe to she nation, to my family, and to myself, to express publicly my sentiments in a case which must decide the fate of Greece. In resolving to demand the exclusive intervention of the English Ambassador at Constantinople, to effect an accom modation between Greece and her tyrants, the National Assembly departs from its sacred duties, and neglects the object of its union. It was not to destroy our independence, but to consolidate and perpetuate it, •at the nation, of which you, gentlemen, are the re !iresentatives, confided its full powers to you. History will one day judge impartially of your action this day. When Europe feels more than ever that our cause can no longer succumb under the injuries of forture, how will It look upon the Plenipoten. tiaries of Greece, signalizing themselves as they now are, by an act, unheard of in the annals of nations, and proving to the whole world that they alone are ignorant of their true situation. Does the fall of lllissolonghi terrify you ? Trust. as at the be. ginning of the struggle, to the well-known energy and patriotieni of the nation. The breast of every Greek is a second Missolonglii. Is it the want of resources that embarrasses you ? Make an appeal to the generosity of the citizens : never did Greek remain deaf to the voice of his country. Finally—ls money wanting ? Let us ratify our debts. We stand in need of protection ? Let us have recourse to the Sovereigns of all Christian nations. All of them, gentlemen, have an equal claim to our gratitude. The circumstances in which we are placed, and their situation, assure us of the wished-tor as sistance. It is in critical moments that great nations and true citizens discover themselves. It is easy at all nines to be slaves. It is very difficult to become free. Do we wish for peace? Let us run to arms. If for reasons, of which I am ignorant, the National Assem bly persists in its first resolution, I think it one of my most sacred duties to protest, and I do solemnly protest, in the face of all the Greeks, and in the face of all Christian nations, against an act which I regard as illegal, anti-lallenic; altogether unworthy of a nation which has, perhaps, been conquered more than once, but which has never treated with its tyrants. As a Greek, however, 'and as a sincere friend of the liberty of my country, I shall not cease to combat in concert with my fellow-citizens, and to be ready to shed the last drop of my blood as long as the war fur our inde pendence shall last.

The following is an extract from the answer of tin R E . gian Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Austrian Envoy on this subject : The Minister has examined the facts alluded to by the Count of Mier, and rejects the insinuation that the Kingdom of the Heihe. lands owes its existence to the Allied Powers, and derives the commencement of It,. sovereignty from their concessions. 1.4 Republic of Holland had never ceased to exist de jure. It 'minim under a monarchical Chief its existence dc facto, before the t?e w which incorporated the Netherlands with it, and beton the acts of the Congress of Vienna. . _ _ As for sovereignty, the King owe* it, after Providence. to the blood shed by his ancestors for their country—to the glory rbi r i, it acquired—to the happiness which it enjoyed, tinder their go . verninent—to the intimate connexion esistilinhed.m the min k of ages between them and the nation—to die ancient rights of ht house—and to the confidence as well as the spontaneous thoi re o f free people.

CITY ELECTION. THE OFFICIAL RETURN. At one o'clock in the afternoon of yesterday., Common H a tt was held for the declaration of the four succesaful Candidates for the Representation of the City of London. The official return of the Sheriffs, to which they had been sworn in the usual manner, stated the number of votes to be—for Thompson . 6486 Wood . , efibl Waitbman - 5043 hoed Mayor esta Ward - 4992 Garrett - - MO The four first Candidates on the list were accordingly declared t „, be elected to represent the City of London in Parliament. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON then returned thanks for the honou r which the Livery had been pleased to confer on him. Other inc viduals unquestionably might have been chosen who were his su. periors in point of talent, but he could assure the Livery that n - , the independence, activity, and zeal which should characterize Ott Representatives, he would not yield to any man who had ever ob. tained their suffrages. Every question and matter connected wan the commercial and other interests of London. should meet with Ins most cordial attention. He would not spare either his time or his personal exertions to promme their prosperity in trade, and would not neglect any opportunity to confirm and secure to them th. tn.. joyment of all those municipal rights to which they were entitled, "Cheers.) He would he always found accessible, and equally ready to listen to the suggestions of the less affluent as to the more wed thy individuals of his constituents. (Loud applause.) %Ir. Alderman IVAITHMAN assured the Livery, that he felt himself totally inadequate to express the sense which he eroci tained of the high honour to which he had been elevated oy th,:ir Total. It was a proud consideration to him to think that het + been elected by their voluntary and unpurchased favour. He • in a situation different from the other Candidates, for he had bee nominated on principles of independence, and wits aceordirgy placed in that high state which he occupied on the poll, without in curring any expense ; and that circumstance afforded a sure test oil the view in which the gentlemen of the Livery regarded hit prim'. elides and hit conduct. Had he, however, been at the bottom rt. the poll, it would be more gratifying to him to hold that p os i t i on , procured by their spontaneous indulgence, than to aspire to &Mel place by resorting to practices and artifices which it had been deemed expedient to adopt and pursue in other quarters. (Cheers.) 7t great and numerous body of traders ought certainly to confide tit 1 protection of their rights and privileges to some person of their ow I body, who, by particular acquaintance with the nature of their of ! fairs, would be more competent than an inexperienced individual to maintain and to promote their interests. But it was not tricorn patible with the purpose of such a trust that their Representative should attend to other branches of the community ; on them. trary. lie conceived that any such limitation of the services of a Member of Parliament would include a dereliction of his duty, which was co-extensive with the rights and privileges of all classes of the community. (Applause.) It was also requisite and indis. pensable for a Representative of the people to be aware of the mt. turn of the British Constitution. Without that knowledge, his ex. ertions, however well intended, would frequently prove fruitiest and abortive ; but the practical knowledge necessary to tt hold ye. pular rights, and prevent any encroachments on the great bulwark which the Constitution provided for the liberties of the nation, was not of very difficult acquisition. Its principles might be found :n the Bill of Rights, and the deviations front the letter or [Tinto! . that Bill were innovations introduced by the venality of Parlia ment. The Worthy Alderman having made some additional ob servations on the duty of a 41Iember of Parliament, concluded by expressing his gratification at the extinction of many prejudices which had so long prevailed as to be considered inveterate, bet which had been dispelled by the just modes of thinking that dia. tinguiet si this enlightened age. (Lcud and continued cheers.) Mr. WARD thanked his brethren of the Livery for the situation which lie held on the poll, and begged leave to remind them, that when he first submitted to their notice his pretensions to represent them, he relied on commercial grounds. Ile was still as anxious as nt that time to uphold their commercial interests; but he wished t 0 explain that it was not necessary that be should be exclusively devoted to that object, for they were not derogatory from the wel fare of other portions of the public weal. He would, therefore. be always sedulously alive to preserve the corporate rights aid 'nisi. leges of the citizens of London. Other opportunities mi:ht oc,.i in which he could prove that he participated in the welfire i. 4 alf classes of the community. On some popular topics, as his seat:. menu were known, he did not think rt necessary to dwell ; L.: there was one point which he wished briefly to explain. As they knew his sentiments on those subjects to which he &decor'', it would be out of his power to deceive them by his subseqult conduct. Right or wrong, his opinion was pledged in that respect. He wished, however, to correct an error which prevailed as to I:'t refusal of an Alderrnanic gown, if it should be offered to him. N.. one had more respect than he felt for the body and Court of Alder man. He had indeed entered into life by marrying the daughter o: an Alderman, which furnished • proof that he was not av e rse ro le
