There is a rerrkarlsable. 'difference in' the tone Of the Bulletins_ with regard to the KING of SwEnErrlr:b, is ; ow,treateOvithlthe t - noA perfea..resped and de . eoratn, ORDERS hake been issued for detaining all Ships belonging to. turkey, and our CrUizerS in the Me diterranean will block up her Ports. 'the intrigues of SEBASTIAiir have' bean so powerfUlly seconded by the late unfortunate and ill-planned attiempt upon Con . stantinople, that the present GoVernthent naVe been obliged to adopt these measures. Independent of the injury which , we can do to the CoMmerce of Turicey i our Cruizers can in a very great degree prevent sup plies from going to Constantinople ; there is therefore ground to hope that the Porte: may see its error, and. retrace. its steps. ,We confess, however, that since, our late failure, that, hope ,is by , no means very san- guine. Her MAJESTY came yesterday from her .pala6e'to • St. 'Jaibes's,, accompanied -by the PRINCESSES. — About :half-past twelve o'clock, they retired to Miss PLANTA'S apartments, and partook of some refresh 'pent.

The procession of Noblemen and Gentlemen to Mere chant Taylors' schoOl .was numerous and splendid. A very handsome Dinner was provided for them at that place, 'according to annual custom. The Duke. of Kitir,' the LORD MAYOR, Aldermen, Sheriffs, &c. were present, and for the honOuriof their 'feel , ings, we are happy . .in. stating that the collection amounted to near a thousand pounds. , :The SoCiety of Scotlandfor. propagating Christian Knowledge in the .Hipslands and !sands, held their Annual Dinner on Wednesday last, at the Crown and Anchor, in the Strand.. The Duke of SUSSEX was to have been present, but was prevented by indisposition. The chair was. therefore taken by . JqnN W. ADAMS, Esq. by unaniTno , ,is requisition,' , Lord CoutaANE was present. Thanks to the bene volent spirit of . the times, this meritorious instituL. tion is.in a. very • flourishing state. There are, it . .,acipears, more-than 16,000 children under. the pro , teaion of this excellent Society, and to their perse vering efforts, the poor of the North are indebted for comfort, and a sense of nloral and religious duty, that distinguish them among others of the same class. The subscription was highly honourable to the libe ral feelings of the company. . CATALAN', according to the report :of a Dublin Newspaper, is .not to visit that country upon 'a mu sical'eugagement; as was expected, in consequence: of her prodigious high demands. Mrs. BILLINGTortsI had received -a previous offer, but had declined all ' enga g ements for the present year. The first Brighton boat of mackarel sold yester , ~daranorning, at Billingsgate, for forty .guineas per hundred (7s. each), the highest price - ever known at thai- market ; the next boat that came. in reduced _ _them: to thirteen guineas per hundred.

At its close the numbers were— nr Sir F. 13tiRriETT Lord COCHRANE 1544 Mr. ELLIOT - . 1201 Mr. SHERIDAN Mi. PA ULL . On the declaration of the numbers, the foll Owing questions were put by a Gentleman, after a few pre liminary observations to, the Can-didates :—Whether Lord Cochrane and Colonel Elliot had not conic for ward as Candidates, with the promise of the support of Government ? Whether Lord Cochrane had not refused to present the Petition of his uncle, Colonel Cochrane Johnstone, to Parliament ? Whether Lord Cochrane had. not been introduced to the Duke of Portland -at Burlington House ? And whether the Noble Lord had not an interview with Mr. Huskis son, Secretary to the Treasury ? The:board on which the numbers were inscribed in front of the hustings having fallen from its Usual position, it was replaced, at the, desire of Mr.. She ridan. . Mr. SUERIDAN then came forward and observed, that he was happy in having: been instrumental in • fixing the poll=board to the ppst, because 'he saw • that the state •,of the poll gave the people so much pleasure ; for it Was not in his natn q u i- as he had be fore said, to see a great number'ff people well pleased without- partaking in their happiness. The -Gentleman who had just addressed' them, he under stood to have put the questiOns not to a single Can didate, but to have referred to them all. He wished he had put questions to him ; for if any one there put questions to respe&ing his condua, he would give a fair, frank, and sincere answer. The Gen tleman who had just spoken had justly observed, ; that the meaning of the word independence Was'not well defined, and, they could judge of the real inde,. Peiidence of a man only from his past conduit. 'the Constitution was a common word in the months of all, and there were four descriptions of pet'sons who understood it in different senses. The first ere, those who bad a blind veneration for the Constitu tion, and thought that whatever abuses might creep into it, no reforms ought to be attempted. With these be did not agree. The second consisted of those. who looked only at the abuses in the Consti tuuom, and ,thoUght it so involved in abuses that it waS,not worth ,preservincr. With them •he did not agree. The third were D those,who looked with re verence and attachment to the Constitution, but at the same time observed many abuses wbich ought to be. CorreEted : . With them he did agree. The fourth was. that 'class' who wished things to'remain as they were, because they. 'loved the Constitution merely for its abuses, which contributed to their own profit - and advantage, and them he detested. These'were the 'men, he would venture to predict, who would be the destrUition of the Constitution, if ever, un fortunately, ,the Constitution should be destroyed. Those who erred from too gloomy a view of the abuses of the Constitution were not by any means so dangerous, Y or so much to be condemned, as those .11 .1 IL, .1 and whose attachment to it was founded upon these ;very abuses. Having 'said so much, he would only add, that it was impossible for any man who had a popular feeling not to be gratified at the delight . which they felt at the state of the Poll, and he was highly gratified—but with this explanation,' thk he looked not to those who had polled, but to those who had not polled. If he had been ;dismayed by difficulties and by majorities, he would never hi %e had so many opportunities of-standing up in defebce _ . of the rights and liberties of the 'Lord COCHRANE advanced, and ciclared that he was satisfied with this day's pc'l, -as he was on every . . day, and he hoped the independent Eleaors of West minster would support those wham they thought most fit to represent them in Parliament. He hoped that they would ,agre9 with him, that it wac in- dispersible to the freedom of ele&ion that each Can- didate stand alone, and that there should .be no Coalition: He pledged himself on his honour, as he had, done before, that he would coalesce with no- body. Several questions had been put to him, and he. hoped that he would answer them to their Si tisfaaion. As to ministerial Support, 'he deprc cated all interference in his faVoUr, either by the Ministry, or by a faiiioOs opposition.— He' stood .forward as an independent man, and would explain what he meant by independence. He would not support the measures of the Mi riistrv, except they were for the good. of the Country. He would support the measured of Opposition, provided they were for the gOod of the Country ;, but 'the would rejeft them if bad, and' brought forward from ta'aious motives. . This was what he considered as independent conduct. He declared that he had never requested the influence of Ministers in his 1av0ur..... he..despised'such conduct as much as he did all those who made any such insinuations. , He was pleased at the independent spirit among them, whirl} Lu &iced them to give a fair hearing to all. As to the Duke of Portland, having heard of the Government being favourable to• Sir S. Hood,, he had guile to Burlington House to inquire about it, and the an swer was, that sir S. Hood had their good wishes. He then. stated to the Duke, that he hoped no undue influence would be exercised on. his account, as, he w as of opinion that Elections should be free and unbiassed. This he had stated to the Noble Duke, and to others wiu.f he had heard had, been aaive in the support of Sir S. Hood. The same thing he had repeated to the other .person adverted to (Mr. Huskisson). He had been reproached with not hav ing brought forward abuses in the House before. He stated., that his health had been such that he had not been able to attend. He had, however, at tended the debates of the Catholic Question, and would have voted on it had . it come forward. The only vote he bad given was on the Abstr e.'t Ques tion, about which they had heard enough,; when it Was intended; very'improperly, to throw blame on his Majesty, who, -during a long reign„ had .he:..71 the protector of the. Constithtion and the. Peoole' rights.. His Majesty must have the power of dismtssing his Ministers, for they would he. er di., uiss theoisc Nes, especially:with all the a:?pendages of correptiou, tacked to the situation. He then referred to the accusations that had been brought against him the day before, in his absence, wh.ch werQentitled to no ansv.-.2: - . They who ma hle those charges ought to come forward with , proof, for it was easy for any man to. disturb the peace of anoth, r, by asking— did you Murder—did yoh could not be expeded that he should answer such questions. Mr../NNIN . G3 said, that he latneuted that Sir Francis'BurdeW'Was not. here, order to ans Wee any questions that might be put tO him. He was theadvocate and supporter of th e ju s t prerogative of the Crown. He was the friend of the dignity of the House of Peers ;" but he knew perfealy well that •both would be' lost unl,ess the true and. indepen dent spirit of the people should be kept alive: He earnestly hoped that they would hear'Mr. and not allow him to escape without answering . the questions. He hoped they would bring hini to pledges, and ask hire whether he would support a reform of abuseS. Heshouldlike to ask him, whe • titer he bad not been one old committee of brewers, Who had endeavoured to hate the Ex.eise Laws ex.- • tended, and to gag the pe4l,e- w:ith his own beer, in order to prevent their tasting any Ii me-brewed. He hoped they would not let him escape in silence. It certainly appeared that both Mr. Elliot and-Lord Cochrane had the 'support of -Government - , though he believed the Noble Lord Would not ask it in the same way as Colonel .Elliot. He mentidned this in order to put. then) on their guard against the tricks and machitatiohs of Ministers ; for though Sir Pranbis Burdett vas high on the poll, he was not yet secure. He would not trouble them long, as he was not a friend to long speechtes. They had enough of long speeches from the HoUse,pf Commons, and little good resulted from them. He then adverted to the situation of Officers in the Army. Many instances had occurred in which they had been cashie%l without reason assigned, and none'of them could vote in Parliament, l against• the Minister Without the risk of being cashieted. They could not therefore he independent members. With regard to Naval Officers, he allowed that J " , they .did not stand eitaelly in the same situation, for they wero not cashiered without a Court 7 Martial.: Mr. ELLIOT then carne forward, and was heard for a few minutes, though there was Considerao e Opposition, so that it was imposible‘ to hear the whole that he - .said. He had never heard of the Committee of'Bretvers alluded. to, and lie thought that the Right-Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Sh-Ti dan), who had been- a Member of the late Admi nistratioN might inform them upon that point better than he could do. We understood him to say,, that he had supported the three last Adult nistrations, because he thought 'that those ought to be supported who possessed' the emitidence of the King, and we think, he added of Parliament'. • Mr. GIBBONS adverted Ito 'the conduct of L-inl Cochrane; and Said, that he was a riblitical impoqer. He now confessed that he Lao been at Burlingtei ,, house, and be might fairly i'• . tt.irt'the lie upon no. He again stated, that he had-been elected for Hopi . ton by bribery. He'aifirined that he was the re ' . tion of Lord Metvitte, though the Noble Lord had denied it, for Lord Melville and a near relation- of Lord Cochrane' bad married the ' , Asters Earl of Hopetown. Here was palf)able fraud mid imposture, and they might jut't.;e from -toe past of • what the conduct of this relation of "'Wha waits me" would be iri future. ty id le r he Ys' ire . .d, -or rat >ty lc- Ile set ,y.
