We olnorve in Saturday night's Gazette the official an nouncement, that the peat diplomatic services of Lord S t me se roan, at Constantinople, in conducting to a happy termination the mediation between Russia and Turkey, have Is rn rewarded by the grant of a Peerage of the Coiled Kin K s,om. Count (lsceonowsxt, the bearer or an auto graph fitter to the KING from the Emperor of Russia, es pri raive of his Imperial 111AJESTy's sense of obligation to the lb itish Government in the late negotiation with the Poles r. , is row at Windsor with the Russian Ambassador. What an appropriate commentary does this fact aflind on the iisays of those wretched croakers who have.been labour ing to prove that the British Empire, far (rota standing the first in Traver and influence among the States of Europe, has sunk to iinignificance and contempt. If, indeed, the prophesies of the writers, to whom we allude, bad been ful filled, instead of passing, as they have passed, into by words of scorn and reproa , h; or, if the political schemes which tbose desperate agitators at one time urged on the deluded multitude with alarming success had been adopted, England would have " Fallen from her rood cove," and been trampled into dust lent atli the feet of the trium• phant tyrant of the continent. Rumour announces the intcution of Mr. CANNING to ' late litettlillref facet S esion, for obking every person, pre viously to his being appointed to any public office in Ireland, to make oath that he is not a member of any lool:Te, or public political suoeiation. We do not attach much credit to this report. Such a step would not be, in itself, either wise or well-timed. It is not an effective or statesman-like measure, nor such as it is likely an enlarged mind like Mr. Ca NNING . G would adopt. There is nothing reneslial in it ; it suffers all the inherent diseases to work on inwardly, while it goes merely to prevent, if possible, their breaking out upon the surface. It leaves the causes at work, while it conceals the danger. Such a policy would he every wad injurious. It were better, infinitely, that we al 111 sec, in all their pernicious latitude, the evils which afflict Ireland, in which case they would force themselves emphatically upon public attention, than that we should keep up an outside show of amity and good understand , ing between parties, whom the laws and the system of gover ttttt ent keep asunder, and who in secret would be spreading everywhere the deplorable consequences of their looltility. The MA noels Wt.t.t.ss Ls , / has done much towards weakening that inveterate Orange faction which had shown itself an overmatch for all former Lord Lieute nants. The leading measures of his administration have mot been temporary ; they have precluded for ever the re turn of do, abuses they have removed. The salvantagts gained for Irela n d are lasting; the ends of justice are not only bettor secured than they ever before were, but their result is made certain. The Noble Ma nor ta has not only put tie grain into the ground, but he has ensured the crop. Testifying a due regard fur the safety of die Irish Chou+, lie has been at the same time anxious to res cue the Catholic,' f the influence of Orange councils, •Itul to remove the invidions distinctions which severed them from their Protestant fellow-subjects. Some there are, we know, who seem to think the oppression of the tinter kin . ohon ought never to have an cud; who are of opinion that city further concession to the Catholics would be improper ; that they have already had as touch granted to them, as they eugia, in decency, to ask ; and, that to solicit any thing further, in the way of indulgence, is most unreasonable, and manifests a spirit of importunity never to Ito satisfied. We could easily reply to this reasoning. low we find it PO ably answered to our hands in one of the .• I.e!lers Pc Eva to his brotlier ABRA a Si," pubiishl tl some sixteen years ago, that we cannot risear quoting it.

In 1645, during the government of Cnnuwcll , the privilege wassospenift il, and trade with India, then an independent empire under Aurctigach e , was thrown open to all the At the expiration of three years, however, the privilege was re newal, and continued ti ll t h e year At that period ti. C. a year &her the revolution, which rinser, for the aectect time, the Stuart flintily from the throne of I;nglandh King l' l'norYs Influenced, no doubt, by financial embarrassments, listental to slit proposals of a new company, which offered to lend Govern ment, for the priviiege it now sought and obtained, the sum of two militias at II per Cent. This last concession was characterised by being granted by Act of Parliament, and confirmed the permission granted by preceding charters to the company to nettle and main. tam colonies and factories and to raise lortitications for their de fence, if necessary. Little was it then imagined that the Fonds. amok of a great empire were at that time laying. To fortified places there mutt be Duni* attacks must be resisted, alliances and lira. ticsof Poo" concluded. Thus, fmtu the year Iti9H, these rights, nearly resembling those of sovereignty, were granted to the agents of tire company ; Ina, by a restriction characteristic of time times, the right of making war OT ptiaCC was forbidden, except with Pfri" ra an d na1... , not plqet.ell: ate Cheietkelf.faih• " Till then the I;inimany was on the same footing, in India, with the Natalia, Raj sits , khans, atol other petty Princes, who had become surressit ely indt pendent of the threat Mogul, Tartar, and l'ersian MMIarCIIP, by whom th es e Knead extensive countries had been at various times invaded. " The Company's charter vet afterwards renewed, at different periods, with all the formalities that attend in England the pnanul getion of the laws. Stanyhues it was stipuland that the privilege *humid continue till revoked. hot that the f 'ompany should have notice, three years befitrelianii, of its revocation.. Afterwards a certain term of years was fixed no for its expiration, at the end of which it was again renewed ; she !oinpany agreriii,; to pay certain bonuses for the privilege, th payment of which at has generally contrived to evade. _ . " territorial possessiona and sovereignty of the Company down to the year 17:0, extended oily over some towns, or rather forts, such as Madras, which were intended to protect a small sur rounding territory. It was about that time that Ihmkis, who iiiii andel the French in India, an enterprising and able man, but nut at all scrupulous as to tin: means of secomplishing his ends, betrayed an ambition which, if it slid not excuse the growth of that of the I":n k lish, at least served as A pretext ter h. kladnu, at that time their priacipel establishment in India, had capitulated to an Moms:doable French army. violated the capitulation, declared himself the ally of an Indian Prince at war with ameba, aod taut It the I:eglish that Machiavellian policy, of which they &lenient* su much evaded themselves, of intenneddling in all the Wallitine broils of the country, aml uwkiug use of one Prince to pot down another. CM all occasions they declared against such power* as were protected by the French. " Lord Clive, a MIA of talent, commanded the Company's forces about the middle 4.1 the last century ; he sumeded in gain ing A coiupee ascendency, non only over the French, but also over the Indians, who were under French protection ; and as there is seldom a pause in the midst of a victorious cartel, the English now lolly embarked in the career of conquest. Their power, put in the balance of every quarrel, generally determined the issue in favour of the Prince they pr hued. '1 hey shared the spoils of the ranguished, and time victor, being inil-hted to them for his crown, because their tributary, until they felt themselves strong enough to dispossess him in his turn. •• l'mpoo Sa.b, Stilts° of the Mysore, the last Prince when; power could alarm them, fell Initeath the ruins of Ins capital, tf , :ringapatein, when it was taken by asioult in 1799. At this time the power of the Company extends along the whole course of the &Aug.'', and bryond LlMO—veer all the peninsula of India, with the exception et MAIM &slims on the coast of 31A labar still tributary to the J'ortoguese, or the petty hishometan prince., and some provinces still occupied by the Malteds's. France also is in prnoussion of Pondicherry and Chandernagne, which were restorel at the peace of 11114 ; Ina they serve inertly to cover the teethe omit& en by the French merchants with the British 110,4 k SIMMS " lie then procculs to point out the relation which the Government of the country bears to that of the Mother Country, through the medium of the Board of Control, a measure which virtually place; the management of East India affairs iu the bahtis of the Ministry for the time being, and wlsi.4h was forced on the Company by the ne cessity under which they labouml, to procure the Govern ment's sanction to the hams they were obliged to contract at different periods ; and of ther- loans he gives a very distinct account, which we cannot afford room to quote at large, but shall give itt as few words as possible:— The tint debt contracted by the Company to Go.. C. Teri •nt, in 1773, amourud to 1,400,15:0 In 17ns a (Luther loan ass snide of 3,1x4,000 And Ouse emus, by an annual increase of expenditure over income, have at the present day swelled out to the appalling total of 45,000,000 i., against which they can only shew what M. Say calla a balance of fictitious debts, such as %,000,0001. die by the Rajah of Tanjore and Nawaul cf Arcot, neither of whom have either the will or the power to pay them, as their territories and revenues are already in the hands of the Bilk's', and the Princes themselves can only be considered in the light of stipen diaries on the Company. They also take ertslit fur sums expended in the various expeditions in which they have acted in concert With the Kt sn's troops, and fur money expended on forts, warehouses, and factories, to the amount of 16,0n0A001., with just about as much propriety as a tenant, at the expiration of his lease, not looking upon himself as yentuncratcd by the produce of his farm, could charge his landlord for all his expenses in cultivating it. The result of all this M. SA V seems to think must be, that at the expiration of the charter, which takes place its ISIS, the Government will be under the ueci'ssity of taking up the Company's debts, making than national, governing India by a Viceroy, and trying, by eammuy and management, to get themselves clear us well as they can. The next point on which M. SAT touches is, whether or not the concerns of the Company are profitaWo: and this we should think is so n ► settled ; for if, as he plainly chews, their expenditure is regularly blond their income, we think the question is anaweresl at once. But it ►till re mains to be asked, would the trade of India, in private hands, pay better to the Government and nation at large, than it dues in the bends of a large Company ? Of this too we have no doubt, and for this very plain rea son, that the Company charter their ships and pay for their tonnage from four to six times more than pri vate individuals would, and their profits must of ne cessity be proportionably less ; or rather, more properly speaking, they must ttatle at a positive loss, as the dif ference of freight would be an ample profit to the pri vate merchant. It is true that a monopoly gives them the power of compelling a profit in the China trade, so far as England alone is cancer:nal; but the other nations of Enrope, and even our own Colonies, must receive their teas and nibs r Ma goods in other bottoms, and thee., chiefly Ames ican--a nation to which our monopoly laws in the east have given snit) an ascendancy, that their tonnage, in the port of Canton, nearly equals, if it does net exceed our ua•n. Another very cotut•.ton error. which obtains credit both in this country and abroad, NI. St v combats with tolerable :meet - stt, viz. that the natives of India arc groaning under our yoke, and otey wait the arrival of some fort ign power to rise simultaneously and expel us. This opinion contains two errors: in t h tint place, the natives are highly satis fied with our government, which gives thou liberty of p.•rson and security of property unknown under any native government ; :Jul the lust pottsible proof of this fact is, that whenev.•r a rot ince is taken by or c"•ded to us, the imme thaw e!!;•. is, an em:gration into it (rem all the surround in!: native stams. to the supposed danger of a Lure peat' army itivadir! our Indian pow:odium by land, an atte!nitt n, hr, with t.c. , rly an raced clmnce of success, be made to invath the noun.

Ft •re else who was ill Bengal acme year.; ago, when we fitted out an ocpedition against the Riccaneir Rajah, must recollect the bustle and importance with which the means of transport was sought to convey two or three regiments a few days' journey into the desert. What then must be the resources requircvl, to march an army neatly equal to that with which Napoleon invaded Russia (and with a less force they need hardly attempt it), for many con secutive months, through hostile countries, and over burning sands? We cannot wind up this paper better than by quoting the concluding paragraph of M.

Asia needs longer time on account of her im mense population, and the inertia which long.roided and immove able customs opieise to every species of innovation. But the march id events is inevitable.
