The BRITISH Paean eornmanoui publishing yesterday morning se five o'clock . LONDON, WEDNESDAY, J►NUAty 25, 1826. Last night we received the Etude of Monday. It ap pears that the mission of the Turkish Plenipotentiaries to 4)4 adores Ins strongly excited the attention of the Austrian Court. Nothing was known as to the nature of the pro positions of which they were the bearers, nor whether the mission itself was the spontaneous act of the Divan, or the result of external influence. It is reported that the Turkish Government intend to require military possession of all the fortified places, leaving the inhabitants of each province the liberty of choosing a Lieutenant-Governor, subject to the approbation and control of IBRAHIM Pacts*, as the general Governor of the whole country. The Greeks, however, will hardly deliver themselves up to the tend or mercy of the desolators of Scio and Ipsara, on such conditions as these, while any hope of successful re sistance remains with them. The news from Russia is of no political interest. We subjoin a detailed account of the removal of the late Em rriton's corpse from Taganrog. The official journal of St. Vetersburgh has published an elaborate panegyric on the cha racterofArEaatcoEttl. Among themost conspicuous merits of that Prince, the journalist enumerates the foundation of the Holy Alliance. We are nut disposed to deny the late Emperor of RUSSIA the merit of intending well in that pr;ject ; bus looking at the purposes to which it has since been perverted, and is which he was an active and willing participator, we apprehend that the institution of the holy Alliance is a •:ery questionable title to the applause and affection of posterity.

Cite Sritifilt alrefso. and Tatleida, aoesnipanied by the superior clergy, the officers desigr Rated to Carry the orders and support the canopy, as well as the persons belonging to the suite of the late Emperor unit of her Majesty the Empress, bad assembled in the Palace, where her Majesty the Empress Elizabeth, after having poll' the last duties to the mortal reer.ains o•' the Monarch who is the object of uni- versal 'met ■nd tears. had retired into the chapel of the Palace. His Eminence recited the usual prayers, after which the funeral procession set out in the order which had been previously laid down. The membrn of the clergy who had not accompanied his Emi r.cr.ce. as well as the officers of the governmentof the town,and the body of the merchants, had met to two hours near the Palace. The procession, at the head of which walked :he Master of the Police, and the Commandant, with a detachment of gendarmes, was opened by • squadron of Cossacks of the guard. Theo came the servants of the Imperial Court, the tradesmen, the Greek and Russian Ma gnomes with their Mayor, the Director anti officers of the G ym !maim, the Civil Officers, the Nobility, and the Governor of the City, pteceded by the Master of the Ceremonies. The numerous clorgy of the town of Taganrog and the environs preceded the Bishop in pontifical habits, and with all the pomp of religion. A lieutenant of the nary, bearing the Imperial standard bound with black crape, and the generals hearing the insignia of his Majesty's orders, walked before the hearse. The Emperor's confessor, accompanied by two deacons bearing the image, followed than in the front of the hearse. The funeral car was drawn by eight horses, covered with hangings of black cloth down to the ground ; the body was deposited under a canopy of cloth of gold, richly ornamented with fringes and tusel%, in a coffin covered with cloth of silver, decorated with acutchntns bearing the arms of the empire. The imperial crown was placed under the canopy, the corners of which were borne by four generals, assisted by eight su perior ofilcers. The suite of the Emperor and the Empress Elisabeth immedi. ately followed the Mt in mourning dusk., and bearing torches. Two of the Empress'. carriagn, and a division of the Cossacks of the guard, with mournful music, closed the procession. Various divisions of troops were drawn up in the streets through which the procession passed, t'te fortress firing minute guns. _ _ In the centre of the church an elevated stage was erected for etc coffin to be placed upon. Four columns supported the car.opy, which was surmounted with the imperial crown, the sceptre, and the globe. The catafalque was surrounded with curtains of non ceau.colourcd velvet and club of gold, richly ornamented. Four large rand:l3l)ra, supporting numerous lights, were placed at four corners of the stage. When the body of the late Emperor was placed under the catafalque, which had been erected with, all possible magnificence, his Eminence performed the funeral service ; and these religious ceremonies will be performed daily till the removal of the mortal remains of the Emperor tolls, capital. There was a very great concourse of people, and the universal grief may be easily conceived. The continued reading of the Goa pel, both day and night, and the daily celebration of divine service and the funeral ceremonies, continue regularly. The lower windows of the church are covered with black cloth, and the arms of the em. pire are placed on the three gates. The Journal of St. paert;,ll , zh, in an article on the character of the late Emperor, after contrasting the joy with which the an. niversary of his birth, the 2.lth of December, had hitherto been hailed, with the general gloom and mourning that marked its re turn this year, adds the following reflections We shall not un dertake the difficult task, which is far above our ability, to trace all the glorious events of the reign of Alexander ; nor shall we speak of the acts of a Government which for a quarter of a century daily reminded us that the reign of Alexander was an inexhaustible source of benefits to his people. These acts will be inscribed in letters of gold in our annals, as gratitude has already engraven them on our hearts. It will suffice to say, that the system adopted and invariably followed by his Imperial Majesty was a direct ap plication of his own exalted virtues to the wants and the pro. sperity of the State. On the other hand, the safety of our frontiers insured by the acquisition of Finland; the bounds of the empire extended to the Pruth by a glorious peace, concluded in the molt critical circumstances ; new provinces conquered from Persia, the union of a neighbouring nation, which henceforward fraternising with us, render the influence of the same sentiments towards our common Sovereign—add a royal crown to tl ie splendour of the impe rial diadem. Such is the brief summary of what Alexander has done, that the dignity of the empire abroad might correspond with so many salutary measures, the object of which was its internal welfare. But the reign of our august Monarch does not belong exclusively to the annals of our country, the whole world claims the glory of it, because it has shared its blessings. Let us not be jealous of it. We have borrowed from the elder mem. hers of the Europeinlumily their civilization and their manners. Alexander discharged our debt to foreign nations. It was lie who conceived the sublime idea of completing the triumph of Christianity, by extending to the mutual relations of nations the maxims of the Gospel, the practice of which had been too long confined to the circle of private duties. The alliance which was formed under his auspices, between the great States of conti nental Europe, had religion for its basis—for its object the happiness and tranquillity of nations—for its means the stability restored to thrones—for guarantee the character of its founder, as well as the magnanimous intentions of all the august members of it. From that time European diplomacy, learning to see the interests of each in the greatest advantage of all, became the constant organ of the purest views and the most upright in. tendons. Alexander was always the soul of his tutelary policy. He never veiled in principles, which in him were at once the re sult of immoveable conviction, the fruit of a sincere piety, and the impulse of a tender benevolence, which would willingly have extended half to the whole human race." VIENNA, DEC. 11. The news of the sending of Turkish Plenipoientiaries to the Mores has caused great sensation here. A letter from Constan tinople, which we received by the last mail from Bucharest, affirms that the representations of some Foreign Ambassadors have induced the Porte to send negotiators to the head-quarters of Ibrahim Paella, to treat with the Check Chiefs on a suspension, or rather a cessa tion, of hostilities. But other accounts, from more authentic sources,effirm that the Foreign Ministers alone could never have induced the Porte to take such a step ; it must be attributed to the representations of Ibrahim Pacha and of his father. It is affirmed that the Porte, which some time ago guaranteed to Ibrahim Pacha the general government of Greece, is willing to confine itself to the military possession of the fortresses, and to give to each of the Greek provinces a Lieutenant-Governor chosen among the inha bitants, leaving those functionaries dependent on Ibrahim Pacha. These places will be conferred en the principal Greek chiefs if they readily submit. There is a great deal said about propesahl already made on this subject, which it is affirmed, at least at Ctn. atantinople, have been well received by some military chiefs. The Russian Charge d'Affaires had received no satisfactory answer to his late remonstrances, though they were strongly sup. ported by the Ministers of the other Continental Powers. It appears by the official intelligence from Poland that the Emperor NI L 0 Las has confirmed the appointments of all the officers, civil and military, in that kingdom, from the Viceroy downwards. The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, who is, we find, only Commander-in-Chief, received in person the oath of the Russian Guards at Warsaw. His Imperial llighness, it was expected, would set out in a few days fur St. Petersburgh. All doubt must therefore be utterly extinguished as to the sincerity of Co NS I ANTI is es adherence to the order of succession fixed by the late Esi 'Lowever justly extraordinary such a determi nation may be considered in an individual of his rugged and fiery character. In the imperial proclamation to the l'oles NICHOLAS repeats his declaration, that his reign will be " merely a continuation of the government" of Lis deceased brother. The German Papers received last night state that ru mours of internal dissentions in Russia are still very pre valent at Frankfort and Vienna, but they are regarded altogether as the fabrication of the stockjobbers, who arc there so unfortunate that they can produce no fluetuationv. The only report apparently worthy of any attention is , that in consequence of the spreading of the plague in Mol davia and Wallachia, the Austrian Government have or dered the formation of a cordon sanitairc on the frontiers THE BRITISH. PRESS. of those principalities. Time alone can enable us to judge whether this measure has any other than its ostensible object. We are as far as may be from countenancing any thing like a spirit of persecution in matters of theology. We arc disposed to go as far as the farthest in supporting the freedom of discussion on all subjects, and this from a thorough conviction of the injustice of attempting to regu late opinion by the terrors of the law, or to oppose the progress of inquiry by the arm of secular authority. But, averse as we should be at all times to fetter the exercise of reason, we still think that there is a certain gross violation of moral restraint which may well be considered as a legal offence, and which no well-governed State can permit con sistently with the moral welfare of its people. We say this with reference to a coloured print which has been for a long time offensively displayed in the shop window of Mr. CARLIII.E, in Fleet-street, and which daily gathers a perpetual cro .vd round the door, to the great annoyance of the foot-passengers. The A i. ; MIGHTY is there personified by the disgusting figure of a half-naked Moloch, and is made to be descriptive of at tributes the most abhorrent. Above it is written, in large letters—" Christian+, behold your Gon"—and beneath it— " A Gonf.r a ritilling." We think• there can be nodonlit in the breast of any man that the scandalous representation of the Derry, exhibited, day after day, in the most public street of the metropolis, and attracting the attention of the ig norant youth of both sexes—as from its singular and striking appearance it could not fail to do—must greatly contribute to destroy ali those sentiments of reverence towards Goo, and to extinguish all those feelings which the relation we beer to him ought to excite within us. We speak of its effect on the ignorant and unreflecting. To give the utmost scope to the freedom of opinion is one thing; to give the utmost latitude to the burlesque and perversion of every thing connected with the character and attributes of the Almighty is another. It in vain that parents endeavour to instil into their children those principles of piety which bend them In adoration before their :Maker, if the Atheist is permitted thus publicly to counteract their efforts, and to affect their minds with conceptions the most abhorrent, and an image the most degrading. We honour those enlightened principles which have induced Govern ment to abstain of late from every thing like reli gious persecution. It is a marked feature in that im proved system of thinking which distinguishes the policy of our present Ministers. Acting on the conviction that the system of Christianity is of divine origin, they no longer attempt to support by force any discussion, however hostile it may be, of its doctrines. But such a pictorial exhibition as that by which Mr. CARI.I tot: publicly endea- YOLITs to reverse our conceptions of the divine nature, and to turn the devotional feelings of the rising generation into scoffing and mockery, does not come, in our opinion, within that praiseworthy principle of toleration which we are dis posed thus sincerely to applaud. It is the inward feelings of veneration and duty which lie bears towards the great Author of his being, that causes every man to govern himself more effectually than human laws could do, and which gives life and energy, therefore, to all i those principles on which civil government is esta blished. We . should—as we have already said—be among the list to stunt the full and perfect growth of human reason, or to withdraw any doctrine of our faith from its investigation. But we, nevertheless, cannot help thinking that it is by no means essential to freedom of opinion that every outrage ou public morals should be overlooked, or that such an open violation of all decorum as Mr. Canute's shop-window exhibits should be en couraged—as in appearance it is—by the very circumstance of its not being suppressed. CITY, TurspAy Evrxwo. This was not a day of very extensive business on the Stock Exchanges, but still the Markets maintained them selves svith tolerable firmness. Consols opened at 80f sellers, and afterwards rose to & I, at which price bargains were done with activity, although not to a large amount,and they finally closed at ¢ buyers, which was au improvement of i per cent. on the day's business. This may not appear to casual observers to be any great extent of amendment, but taken in conjunction with the untoward circumstances that are abroad, it shows an evident tendency in the Funds to make a further advance. Several commercial failures were spoken of to-day ; yet, in the teeth of these embarrassments, publio securities improve. This is certainly indicative of a considerable rise, the moment the commercial difficulties that at present press on the Money Market have in any degree passed away. The Foreign Market, although with trifling business doing in it, showed equal firmness with the English, and the quotations in it were fully as high as on Monday.— Colombian Bonds were 59, Mexican Six per Cents., 6611; Spanish Bonds 121, 131; and Greek ditto, 14, 15, at which price these Securities have continued with perfect steadiness for two or three days. Exchequer Bills were at Is. discount to Is. premium. The Colonial Market, if we except the continued de mand for Rum, is in a state of great inactivity, the Sugar anii Coffee Sales being exceedingly heavy. Accounts revived from Paris yesterday state that the Emperor of Russia intends sending Ambassadors Ex traordinary to every Court in Europe, to notify his accept ance of the throne of Russia and Poland. The Nrussels Oracle says—" Among the Exchange ru mours afloat is, that of the Emperor of Austria's suKring under a chronic complaint, which affects the lower region of the stomach." Extract of a letter from Port-au-Prince, Nov. 30. " Nothing has been said lately with respect to the French treaty, and it is now generally believed that the full export duty will be required from the French as well as from others. They will be allowed the half import, but that will be the only point in their favour; and if so, the dis advantages to the English merchant will not be altogether so formidable." Ou the signing of the late Treaty with the Government of the Hanse Towns, executed in behalf of that State by Mr. Colquhoun, the Minister of that Government, his Majesty was graciously pleased to present Mr. Colquhoun with a gold snuff-box, with a miniature of the King richly set with diamonds. Yesterday afternoon, soon after four o'clock, the Duke of York, as Commander-in-Chief, held a military levee at his office in the Horse Guards, which being but thinly auended only occupied his Royal Highness about half an hour. 'fhe following were among those present : Generals Blachford and Sir George Airey ; Lieutenant- General Sir 11. 'caner ; Major-General Anderson ; Sir George PrevoA, and about twenty others. We are requested to state that the Catholic Bishop of Quebee, , wbose decease we announced on Monday, was the Right Rev. Dr. I'lessis, who departed this life on the 4th ult. Our paragraph, we regret to learn, had excited the alarm of the friends of the Right Rev. Dr. Macdonell, who left this country some time ago on his return to Canada. We are happy to add, that letters have been received announcing the safe arrival of Dr. Macdonell at New Yoik on the 18th ult. At the meeting of the Irish Catholic Association on Sa turday last, among other subjects of discussion were the tithe system, and a proposal for a petition to Parliament fur funds fur the education of Catholic children.

It is understood that his Majesty, on his return to town next month, will occupy the magnificent suit of apart ments, now ih perfect readiness to receive him; at St. James's Palace. Although the dismantling of Carlton Palace does not take place immediately, it will not again be used as a Royal residence. On Thursday, the Duke of St. Alban's and the Ladies Beauclerk returned to the Norfolk Hotel, Brighton, and Mrs. Coutta to Byam House.

The loss which the Marquis of Clanricarde (the son-in law of Mr. Canning) is supposed to have sustained by the destruction of his magnificent residence, l'ortutnna castle, is estimated at no less a sum than 50,0001. This calamitous accident is attributed to the negligence of servants. The Marquis of Sligo also, in the same week, sustained a considerable loss, at least 3,5001. by the de struction by fire of a very handsome library, which the Noble Marquis had recently erected, and upon the selec tion of which he bestowed a very diligent attention. The fire, we understand, was occasioned by a female servant having gone into the library at night for a novel, and having inadvertently left a candle lighted there after her. THE LORD CII ANC E I.l.OR.—We regret to state Out the answer given to inquiries yesterday was, "that his Lord ship was rather more acutely afflicted with pain, having passed an indifferent night." In all probability his Lord ship 'caught a fresh cold on Saturday, by the frequent opening of the door, by which the damp air obtained access. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the following Commanders took leave of the Court previous to departing for their respective destinations, viz.:—Captain Montgomery Hamilton, Dunira ; Captain Peter Cameron, Earl of Balcarras ; and Captain James Walker, Macqueen, for Bengal and China. We understand that those highly respectable booksellers and liberal patrons of the Fine Arts, Messrs. Hurst and Robinson, who, owing to the recent consternation in the commercial world, partially suspended their payments, leave arranged their affairs satisfactorily, and resumed busi ness as usual. The eminent house of Constable and Co. of Edinburgh, which had also stopped payment, will no doubt surmount all its difficulties, and continue to enrich the literature of the country with new works of merit. Messrs. Knight and Lacey, of Paternoster-row, who had hitherto borne up against the storm, have at length suffer ed in the wreck of' credit, and in consequence of the heavy losses occurring in the bookselling trade, have been com pelled to suspend their payments. This is much to be re gretted, as they were, though young, very enterprising booksellers; and many of their publications were of a highly useful class. The accounts from Macclesfield and Congleton describe a state of distress among the journeymen silk-weavers truly calamitous. Meetings of the principal inhabitants had been called to devise means for relieving it, but the extent of the evil left little hope of their proving effectual. BIRMINGHAM BA NlS.—The first meeting under the com mission against Gibbins, Smith. and Goode, late bankers, of this town, took place at the Royal Hotel on Wednesday last, and adjourned meetings have since been daily held for the proof of debts owing by the firm.
