Ile Bair tau PRESS commenced publishing yesterday morning at five o'clock. LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1526. The result of the insurrection of the Janissaries has been such as every friend of true principles must have de sired. They have been subdued, and in future the Turkish armies will be organized like those of civilized Europe. It is not necessary for us to say that we wish sin cerely for the success of the Greek cause; but, while we wish for the success of the Greeks, we cannot forget the claims of the Turks. IVe wish to see Turkey power ful, but we certainly do not wish to sec her in a condition to oppress Greece; and it is now many mold's since we stated, in express terms, that the dangers arising from Russia would force Turkey to adopt the European disci pline. The Turkish army will, in future, become more than a match for the Russian ; but it will not be able to assume that character soon enough to prevent the virtual emancipation of Greece. The conflicting interests of this country, respecting the Creek question, will thus at length be reconciled, and nothing will remain to prevent our full concurrence in favour of a nati on w hi c h 'othing but the most imperative necessity would ever have prevented us from assisting. The Times is completely mistaken in its view of the revolution at Constantinople, which, unfortu nately for its importance, did not appear first in the columns of that Journal. The insurrection was not one of those ordinary occurrences which have often taken place in Turkey. It was nothing less than the completa destruction of a system of barbarism in that country, and the opening of an era in which we shall no longer be ashamed of calling tl►e Turks our allies. lire should be far from rejoicing at this result, if it were likely to be injurious to the Greeks; but we are well assured that such will not be its effect. The news from Greece begins again to become interesting, and we beg to call the attention of our readers to the ex tracts which we subjoin, as well as to the new regulations respecting tl►e Janissaries, in anotherpart of our Paper. iFrom the Eicilc, dated Thursday, July 13.1 BUCHAREST, JUNE 22. The Turkish Commissioners have passed through this city, with two Dragomans and a numerous suite, on their way to the con ferences at Ackermann ; they proceeded to Jassy, without stopping a moment in this city. PERA, JtrNE 18. After some details already known, relative to the insurrection of the Janissaries, are the following : The displaying of the standard of Mahomet having caused many of the rebels to leave them, the remainder, to the number of 12,000, retreated to the barracks. The Aga Paella laid siege to them and set them on fire. The Chief then surrendered, and the others were put to the sword. In the evening fifty commanders of ortas were strangled. On Friday the Aga Paella followed up his success, On Saturday, all the .TaniAssries, who Ind long been marked, were arrested, and it was forbidden to harbour any under pain of death ; the markets were opened, and the Aga Puha was made Khan. A Ilatti Sherif, approved by the Uletnas,was prnelaimed,ordering the name of Jani +stairs to be henceforth erased from the books of the Empire. Forty-three Chiefk of the Jannicaries, who remained faith ful, have received employments analogous to their rank. On Sun day morning drummers, were sent fur from Pere, to begin to prat• tice the European method. Perfect security prevails at Pere and in all Constantinople. _ . We read in a journal, it is affirmed that the plan of Lord Coch. rane have been communicated to personsof greatdistinction at Paris It is said to be intended to restore the order of Malta, which has always been recol,mized by all the treaties, but never established. This great design is to commence with the taking of Rhodes. MI the gr.at families in Europe who entered into that illustrious order will eagerly come forward to co operate in that noble enterprise. Religion and humanity will have equal reason to rejoice at seeing these valiant knights watch for the safety of Christendom, in the Mediterranean, which is now the theatte of so many disorders and crimes. [From Galignani's Messenger.] PARIS, JuLY 12. We are sorry to find that Talmes indisposition has assumed a most serious aspect. His malady is a violent inflammation of the bowels. A rumour prevailed yesterday upon 'Change, that this great actor was dead; lie was certainly alive at ten o'clock last night, and hopes are still entertained of his recovery. A Dutch Mail has brought us the Ilamburgh Papers to the Bth July. We subjoin a few extracts. HANOVER, JULY 4. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are gone to-day to the baths of Pynsont, to which place their children have been sent be fore them. Prince William of Prussia is also at I'ymont. A Greek urn has lately been dug up near Bremen. BERLIN, JULY 5. On the proposal of Srontiol, and with the approbation of his Majesty, the opera of Froschutz will be performed at the Theatre Royal for the benefit of Weber's widow and children. EXCHANGES ON LONDON. HAMPURGII, JULY 7.-37-4, Two Months, 37.1. PETERESURGH, JUNE 21-9 7-32 BERLIN, JULY 4.—Three Months, 7 21. JULY b. —T w o Months, 6 2U. We have received accounts from New Orleans, dated the 20th May. Cotton was then in moderate demand, and continued steady at its former prices. We subjoin the fol lowing extract of a letter from that town : NEW ORLEANS, MAY 20, 182 G. The Mississippi, opposite the city, may now he considered at ex treme high-water mark, it having risen a little every day since our last ; and from the various accounts received by steam-boats lately from Louisville, we have reason to expect there w;11 be a tur„ thee swell for a few days. In the mean time, should the weather change, and become wet and windy, it is very doubtful whether the Levee would not give way in many places, and cause great de. strurtion among the planters on the margin of the river. During the forepart of the week ont.door business was much interrupted by heavy showers and wind, causing sales and shipments to be comparatively small. Gur market tat present is rather languid, and ditThrs but little from our last quotations. It is expected that some specific measure will be pro- j posed to Ministers by the manufacturing interest, at the meeting of his Majesty's Council, which takes place next week, to consider the best means of remedying the existing distress. We are not of opinion that merchants or manu facturers, or any class of men practically engaged in any particular business, art: the persons best adapted to give ad vice respecting the proper method of conciliating differences of interests in their own department. As to any proposition which may be made, of adopting partial measures for this particular occasian, we should consider it extremely futile and short-sighted, if not pernicious in the extreme. If it be possible to trace the distress of the country to the free trade system, and if it can be shewn that this system will continue to operate in the same way, the manufacturers should come forward at once, and denounce the system, not in their own department only, but in every department. For our parts, we deny entirely the connexion of the distress with free trade as a system, and we even maintain that the re-enactment of the restrictive laws would increase the distress. The adoption of the free trade system was, no doubt, in part, the cause of the suffering in the manufacturing districts ; but it produced that ef fect, not from any thing in the system itself, hut from the temporary excitement which arose in consequence of it. This effect is similar to what we witness every day in common life. A man who has been long confined does not at first know how to use his liberty. The manufacturers, hastening to take advantage of the expected markets which were to be opened to them in consequence of the free trade system, einployel labour enough to supply the markets for two or three years instead of one ; and that excess of stock must now be disposed of, before employment can be ob tained for their workmen in the same line. There was also, not many months ago, a great abundance of capital, or rather of credit, in the country. That capital or credit being, in fact, creator than was necessary for the supply of the different wants of the people, was employed in many cases in unprofitable speculations ; and thus again the market was overstocked with goods of all descriptions. A clearer proof could not easily be ailduc.al that mere labour is not wealth if not employed ott things useful. If a man builds a house, he does so in the expectation of a profit on his money superior to what he could obtain by piea lug it at interest. The sum of money which he expends on it is, therefore, less than would be required to ob tain an annuity equal to the rent of the house. When the house is built, therefore, he may obtain on its security a sum equal to that which ki expended upon it, and may from its rents pay both the interest of his own money and that which he has since borrowed, and, per haps, obtain a small profit besides. Nothing prevents him with the borrowed money from building another house ; I . and it is obvious, then, that he would have intetest for his original money, and, at the same time, would enjoy the excess of the rents of both houses above the common inte rest which he could have had on his capital. Having two houses, he might borrow the value of the two, and might erect two others, and so on, in geometrical progression, ad iafinitum.These houses are as much wealth as gold or silver ; and it is no wonder if golden dreams have arisen from crude notions of this sort. Unfortunately, houses are use less without tenants; and the speculators in building would have done well if they had calculated more accu rately the probabilities of the increase of population. This instance of building may serve as a specimen of the effl.cts of that disproportionate attention which has been paid by speculators to less important objects. The increase of the means of subsistence is the only method by which specu lations in other branches can be rendered beneficial ; and to that the labour of the operative, the capital of the master, the measures of the statesman, and the skill of the philosopher, ought at this moment to be directed, with an energy proportionate to that which has been exerted on less important objects. However numerous the mistakes may be in other (It partments, it is here that the fault lies at present; and till something be done in this respect, by em ploying the labour of the poor and the capital of the rich in agricultural improvements, we see but two alternatives — emigration, or hopeless dependence on foreign countries. In writing thus, we hope that we are not considered as writing merely to fill a few lines of a journal. We coital der ourselves as fulfilling a public duty in submitting our ideas to public examination ; and if they are founded in truth, we shall regret it as sincerely as any, should the people have anything more to stiffer before it acknowledges their accuracy. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. Stock transactions have been of a very dull anti heavy nature to-day, and the advance to 781 of yesterday for the Account was reduced, at the close of the market, to 781 I, and for August to 781. Foreign Stock is still further on the decline, Mexican being 40, 1 ,, and Colombian 26. It is strongly supposed that the interest on the Colombian, due to-morrow, will not be paid. In the Course of Exchanges there is no alteration. Letters from Zante of the 13th June, 1826, give a very depbrable account of the state of the Greek Government. At any other period than the present, these accounts would have been very discouraging; but the character of the war in Greece is about to assume a new feature. How Lord Cochrane may be enabled to overcome the disgraceful con tentions in the Government of the people whom he goes t 9 succour, time can only chew. It is quite clear that he has taken the command under the full knowledge of the pecu niary difficulties under which the Greek Government labour, and therefore, on that point, Iris reliance is trot on them. No doubt he has undertaken the command inde pendent of all control; indeed, from the nature of the operations he will have to direct, it will be impossible but such must be the case. We do most sincerely believe, that those who admire Lord Cochrane least, will admit that his bravery is only excelled by his masterly judgment in every thing that relates to naval:tactics ; and we feel assured that if the independence of Greece is to be aided and as sisted by nautical means, Lord Cochrane is the fittest man living to have the direction of them. How much depends upon the life of one man being spared in the approaching strife ! The Galatea frigate arrived at Portsmouth with des patches yesterday, having left the llarannah on the 20th ult. ; she had previously been at Carthagena, but; does not bring any later advice' from thence than are contained in the Caracas Papers of the Ist June, which we noticed yesterday. Letters from Manchester state the daily and hourly in crease of distress in that neighbourhood ; and considerable apprehension is felt by many of the manufacturers for their own personal safety, in consequence of the necessity which has been imposed upon them of closing their manufactories. We, however, trust these fears will not turn out to be well founded. Count Woronzow and the Marquis De Ribeaupicrre have just left this capital to proceed to Ackermann, in lk s sarabia, as the Emperor's Plenipotentiaries, to carry on the negotiations with the Turkish Plenipotentiaries, Lud Me hemet Daddi Effendi and Lud Ibr.thim Effendi, in conse quence of the complete adherence of the Porte to the demands of Russia, and for the final arrangements of the relations of peace and amity between the two Powers.— Jos,rnal de St. Pet, rAurgh, June 27... Some new rigttlations[tO be embodied, we understand, in an Order of Council, are in progress, by which foreign silks will be kept out of the market; or, at all events, a fair protection given to our own manufactures for some time longer, without at all compromising the principles of free trade. _ _ _ . IRON TRADE.—The quarter day, at Dudley, on Sa. turday last, was but indifferently attended ; very little bit ainess was transacted, and albeit, though the cheer of mine hosts at the Arms and the Bush was excellent, the spirits of the visitors were not to be coaxed into hilarity : the " one thing needful" was exceedingly scarce, and in its absence everything seemed " stale, fiat, and unprofitable." Trade is assuredly still declining in this neighbourhood, and I much fear in a few months it will be seriously felt by the operatives. Iron, for ready money, may be had at any price. GLOVE TRADE.—We are happy to find that it is the opinion of many persons engaged in the glove trade, that the supply which the French manufacturers can send to England will be very limited. Upon the whole, therefore, we think appearances are somewhat favourable fur the English manufacturer.—Woreester Journal. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY, Juev 13.—Our Cotton Mar ket very dull and flat indeed ; the sales will barely amount to more than 3,500 to 4,000 bags. A better demand for British Plantation Sugar, and more money asked for brown Sugars. Ear rN styli FORGER' L s,—A man named George Wat son, who has been carrying on what is called a " preiotis game' in dilFerent parts of the kingdom, for the last two years, has been lately pursued by the police, at the in stance of Mr. Gates, the Solicitor to the Committee of Bankers for protection against Forgery, and was appre hended at Newark on Friday last. He lived in the great est style, drove in his own carriage, anti was accompanied by a female of dashing appearance, whom he passed upon people as his wife. In going through the country he pre tended to be a ship-owner, and exiensive in the timber trade. The moment he made his appearance at an inn he was in the habit of kicking up a great dust with his im portance, and exhibited papers and parchments in such a manner as to excite great curiosity as well as perfect re liance upon his respectability. Ile, by this appearance of solvency, used to succeed with innkeepers, with whom his general plan was to throw down a check for a large amount upon a banking-house, and to ask fur SW. or 901. upon it, if the landlord was not in possession of the whole amount of the order. After the disappearance of Watson, it was 5 - :011 ascertained that the check was a forgery. His success was wonderful. When he was apprehended, he had about him a large quantity of blank checks of the Carlisle, the 'Tunbridge %Veils, the Portsmouth, and other banks.— Upon being broug ht before a Magistrate on one of the charges of forgery which had been committed in Darby shire, be was asked whetlitr he had any thing to say in his defence—" I have been (said he) in this way until I am actually tired of it.

NEW REGULATIONS for the TURKISH SOLDIERY The ancient statutes and privileges of the Janissaries are pes„ saved and confirmed. Individuals receiving pay at present con, time in the enjoyment of their pay, but it reverts after their death to the public treasury, instead of being transferrable by them to other persons, as has been usual hitherto. Among 196 ortha of Janissaries 50 are designated, from each of which 150 meo are to be drawn to form new ortas, whi c h s h all be exercised in the management of European arms, and sh a ll p er f orm active service, so as to form a nuckas of 7,500 men. The new troops shall bear the name of Taalimli-A c k er cised troops), or Iskendschi-Neferat (disposable troops ), an d the name of Nisam Dschedid, so fatal to Selim 111., shall be carefully avoided. The pay of the pirate soldier is fixed at AO *spent or 30 pares per (lay, and i: shall increase in due proportion for the officers. Besides the pay, the soldier shall receive his dress and anns; the latter to consist of a tirelock, with a bayonet and a sabre. The dren is composed of a tight coat of red cloth, of trowsers of blue cloth, and of a kotpark of green cloth, with a black sheep-skin attached. The exercises sh-11 take place in winter, at the present barracks of the Janissaries, and in summer on the Etmeidan, 11111 Ober grep.( squares, at days and hours appointed. Several officers of the Egyp tian army are expected at Constantinople to instruct the troops. The corps of cannoneer, and hombardeers, which has been ta.gs. nized in this way for several yearn, shall be increased, and that of tulunzbailsrliis (sappers) shall be incorporated with it. The new organization shall extend by degrees from the capital to the provinces, and from the infantry to the cavalry. With this view, the /.aims and Timariates, possessors of military commis. sinus, shall be invited to cause themselves to be inscribed in the lists of the new militia. The revenues of the Custom-house, independently of the re. venues arising from the income of the Janissaiies, are assigned in lorder to cover the expenses occasioned by this new measure. GREECE. The following tis an extract of a letter dated Zante, June 13th : " In political news we have a great dearth. The new Government of Greece have begun to show the same spirit of anarchy and disunion which has always been their bane, and their total want of means paralyzes all their exertions. Ibrahim I'acha has succeeded in throwing succours into Tripolizza, and has formed a camp at Leondari to keep open the communication between that place and Modon. No effective force of Greeks are opposed to him, and the reports which we hear every day are so vague that they do not deserve attention." IRL Vll TRADE. Among the various measures adopted in the last Session of Parliament, for opening the commerce of the United Kingdom as well as of the Colonies, was one removing the old prohibition to the importation of foreign salted beef and pork, which seems to have escaped the no:ice of any of the Irith Representatives. It is only now that, upon the printing of the Acts, this measure conies to be known; and not only does it permit the importation into the Unitrd Kingdom of foreign salt provisions for exportation, but the Colonies Importation Bill allows these very same pro visions, coming from the United Kingdom, to be imported into the West India Colonies, at a duty of 30 per cent. lire understand some respectable merchants in the Irish provision trade, accompanied by Sir Nicholas Colthurst, waited upon Mr. Huskisson, on Tuesday last, to discuss with him the tendency and object of these measures, when the Right lion. President frankly stated, that it was not intended to open the trade to the West India Colonies, in the way which the joint operation of these two measures had effected ; and be said he should be prepared in the next Session either to renew the prohibition, or to increase the duty, whichever might 1 ,,e deemed preferable. He himself was inclined to the latter, while the merchants thought the former to be preferred. It was also stated to him, that, under this law, ships going on foreign voyages might provide themselves with foreign salt provisions, for ships' use. He said distinctly, it was not intended to permit this; and lie intimated that the Treasury would write to the Board of Customs, to adopt such regulations as should obviate this abuse of the permission. It is right to state, that while Mr. Huskisson attended to the representation of those merchants, and consented to rectify, as far as be could, the errors that were pointed out, he did not conceal his own strong feeling ; which was ad verse to continuing to Ireland what he called Ihr monopoly of the supply of salt provisions to the %Vest India Colonies. SCOTCH NOTES. It is rumoured that the Scottish hankers intend to with. draw their supply of paper from their agents in the North of England immediately, instead of waiting the termina tion of the three years allowed. Whether this operation results from prudence or from pique we know not, nor is it material to inquire. It is enough for us to know, that a few individuals have it in their power, whenever it consists either with their interest or their caprice, to rul vance or to reduce the money value of ail commodities; and thus to make every species of revenue, whether na tional or individual, uncertain in its amount. And know ing this, it ought to be the desire of the public, as it is the duty of the Legislature, speedily to change such a monstrous system. Over the paper issues of private banks Govern ment can scarcely exercise any direct control ; but we hesitate not to say, that the maximum and mini mum of the issues of the Bank of England ought to be fixed by law. Of the propriety of this opinion we think no person can entertain any doubt, who has seen Mr. Mushet's table, exhibiting at various periods the amount of Bank of England paper, and the prices of the public securities. No doubt whatever can be entertained that the Directors of the Bank may, if they please, by the easy operation of increasing or diminishing their average issues, by one or two millions, place them selves in a situation of absorbing any quantity of the pub he wealth, which they might choose to appropriate to them selves. All that they would have to do, would be for them to become buyers or sellers of funds, land, or any thing eke, according as they had predetermined to contract or extend their issues. We do not say that the Directors of the Bank avail themselves of such power; but ought any body of men to be tempted wiih it? And all the world knows—aye, all the world, for these Directors have deranged the money affairs of all the world, and covered it with bankruptcy—that in their ignorance they have dcne as much mischij as it was possible for them to have pro duced corruptly.—Curlisie Journal. LENGTH OF PAR, lAMENTS. - It appears that from the accession of Henry Vlll. to the death of George 111., we had sixty-five Parliaments, and that of these only four ex ceeded seven years in their duration, and only eight had a duration of six years ; no more than six lasted above five years ; two above four, two above three, and nine above two years ; and the remaining thirty-four did not any of them reach to the extent of two years. Taking one Par liament with another, the duration of each, including the Long Parliament in the reign of Charles I. and the still onger of Charles 11., did not exceed two years. HORRID DESPAIR—ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE BY A person named Ponthieu was tried at Nantes for arson. The circumstances of this affair were interesting. The prisoner was of highly respectable family and connexions, but from various causes, among which was a law-suit, he ' was living in such extreme poverty as to be frequently without food for two or three days together. On the 19th of February last, his antagonist in the law-suit having ob tained a judgment against him, the gene d'arines were sent to his house to execute it. They attempted to get an en trance quietly, representing that they had merely a let ter to eeliver ; but finding him resolved to keep the door shut, they made preparation for bursting it open, and were effecting an entrance, when the prisoner set fire to some faggots which were in the house, and endeavoured to burn that and himself. He was with great difficulty rescued from the flames. The house being tnortgara, the person who had advanced the money had the paisoar indicted for " arson, with intent to defraud the mortgagee of his interest." The Jury deliberated for some time, and then acquitted the prisoner. ti "t
