Motu the Weil /Weal! On Monday R meeting of the Corporation and Inhabitants of Falmouth took place at the Gui:d- Hall,, when the Mayor bring called to the Chair, letters were read from I Noblemen and Mem bers of Parliament, to whom application had been made ow the subject, and who all expressed them. selves desirous of using every means in their power to avert from the county • calamity so serious as the removal of the packets would be. A second letter, received that morning, from one of the No. blensen. was also read, which stated, list his Lord ship had applied at the Admiralty on the aubject, and was informed that " nothing had then been decided no with regard to the removal of the packets from Falmouth." This statement naturally led to the supposition that the subject was actually under comideration ; and a Committee, composed of the principal Gentlemen and Merchants of the town, was appoiuted, with power to adopt such measures as they may judge expedient. Memorials to the Treasury and the Postmasters-General a ere adopted, after which the meeting was dissolved. We under. stand it is in contemplation to call • meeting of the inhabitants of Truro for • similar purpose, and, no doubt, the example will be followed by several miser towns. In fact, as the removal of the packets from Falmouth would materially affect the interests of • considerable part of Cornwall, we have no doubt that should it be found the question is really entertained by Government, steps will immediately be taken to cull a county meeting on the subject. The measure is one on which no difference of opi nion can exist, at least amongst the people of Corm wall : it involves none of the topics on which the county has been divided, and Gentlemen of different political opinions may, and unquestionably will, cordially unite its furthering an object of such ac knowledged public importance. The population of Falmouth and Flushing amount to about 18.000 ; of these a considerable majority are either directly or indirectly connected with the packet establishment, and derive their means of subsistence from it. The removal of that establishment would throw two-thirds of the labour ing classes, or one-half of the whole, out of employ ment; and the consequences would be severely felt in every part of the county which has any connexion with the place. The packets have been established at Falmouth for about ISO years, and the security which this long period had given for their contima. ance there has induced the expenditure of a coast. derable capital in various establishments connected with them. We are satisfied that we underrate the amount of the property thus invested when we state it at 200,0001. Almost the whole of this would be sacrificed by the removal of these vessels; numerous individuals now possessed of a competence would be reduced to indigence, and many involved in irretrievable ruin. This is a most Petioles cons,. deration, especially at a time of general distress like the present. , , To these lota cenaiderations must be added others of a public and meat important adore. Fol. mouth, which is the most westerly port in Great Britain, is peculiarly calcohlted for furthering all communications with foreign stations which be so the Atlantic Ocean. The ease with which the her. hoer may be entered in all weathers—the packets having invariably entered the harbour during the darkest nights, without difficulty or danger; and being able to sail into the port even in strong southerly gales, under topmast stay-sails—the safe. ty us which vessels ride there—and its extensive capacity. have secured to it the testimony of some of the first nautical characters known to the coun try. The opinions of Admiral Boseawen, Lord Barham, Admiral Patten. and Admiral Cornwallis, on this subject. are well known. The official re. port of the Earl of St. Vincent on the same subject in 1106, is matter of public record ; *ad the very able letter addressed to the " Pisan Minister and the First Lord of the Adsniralty, by • Captain in the Royal Nary," in 1810, has placed the question in • point of view that excludes controversy. The opinion formed by the late Mr. Pitt and the late Lord Melville. from the investigations that had takeu place. was decidedly favourable to Falmouth; and hod hie Lordship continued in office, there is no doubt it would have become a naval station. for which it is so eminently calculated, and which it could be made at a comparatively trivial expense. Add to this, the fact that no material injury had been sustained by any of the pockets in Falmouth harbour within the memory of any now living ; whilst one of these emelt', the Prince's Mary, Captain Pocock, whilst lying in Plymouth harbour. imistotally. lost during • gale of wind, mud every • plisse ea board perished. BRITISHE PRESS. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1822. . - We lately announced the arrest of • British sub ject, Mr. Bovratno, at Calais, from which pl t soe he has been transferred to Boulogne, where he has been committed to solitary confinement, his frienda, and even the British Consul, nut being permitted to see him. His arrest at Culeis was in consequence of an order by telegraph from Paris. The alleged ground is a charge of being the bearer of letters to the revolutionists in England, which is strengthened by the circumstance, that, at the time of his urrest, all his letters and papers were taken from him, and transmitted to Paris. AU the documents which have appeared upon the /abject are given in another part of our Paper. We have hitherto abstained from indulging in o b servations upon it, because, in fact, the whole of the case is not before us, and we may run the risk of inflicting censure where it may eventually ;nova there was no cause of blame. The arrest of Mr. BONUS° prima feels is, un der all the circumstances as related, a violent out , rage upon the person of • British subject, which the seizure of ordinary letters or parcels open his per son for conveyance to Englood will oorj111 . 11q; bit that may not prove the actuol case, sod the Frew?, Government have evidently proceeded upon rt,t ground of his being the conscious channel of a 'toil * . tionary correspondence. By the truth of that char ge the French Government must nand or fall ; but let the merits of the case be what they may, we do not know how it can justify the refusal of the civil authority at Boulogne to admit the British Consul to see him. The respectability of Mr. Bowatso, and improbability of his being impli. cated in a criminal correspondence, are well known to his numerous friends in England; the French Go vernment, however, cannot be so well acquaint•el with hischaracter, which we confidently expect will come pure oat of the present trial. Bat we cannot be so easily reconciled to the charge of m018'149,144 in England, which is confidently assumed against that gentleman. We do nut .believe that our own Government are aware of any such pennons in the country, and we cannot suppose, with all its sine. and informers, it is not as well at qusinted with our internal affairs as the French can pretend to he. With respect to the treatment Mr. Bowatoa has received, mud is likely to encounter from the persons in civil and judicial authority with whom he has t* deal, it is indeed matter of regret that any free.bor Englishman should be exposed to its severity, its utter irreconcilableness with all English notions ~f justice; fur what can he more abhorrent from sll idea of the kind than the mode of previous ex iu which the Magistrate, who is in country the counsel fur the prisoner, should in Fran ce be constituted his adversary, labouring to pin. de him by question►, and to betray him into ► D. ewers to be used as e►idence against his life up, au his trial ? But here again we ate met by the vvlg sr adage, which says, " If you go to Rome yen tor Ist do as Rome does." Li France au goglisbe as must conform to the usages end laws of Frau re, and hoe no right to compleia that he is treated e if. ferently from the practice of England. It is Ihe great advantage of travel to convince us of the superiority of our own country, or teach as to i. prove it. Some public benefit may, /hereto re, attend the present hard case of Mr. BOWIRIN a: it may induce some of oar rich emigrants to till nit they would be es safe and well at home. The Paris Papers of Sunday have arrived. In uniform series of accounts respecting the defer its of the Turks in the More*, has already rem.. tri any doubt that their friends may have been amid ed to raise upon the subject. The present Papers ct lain, under the head of Constantinople, a ford ter confirmation of these defeats, in which their losses is the Peoinsula are estimated at 20,000. Corinth r tea the Duly piece in their possession, bat so deatit ate of the Necessary means of defence, the garrison, it • ose repeated, most speedily surrender. To this as its or their armies is to be added a waste of the airs ors of war. Their military chest, hitherto supplied 4 the plunder of the rich Greeks, is exhausted, and. is order to supply the deficiency, a Firms. his b tea issued, requ' g all individusis to remit to the Tr, eery all articles of gold sod silver is their possessio a. Thus from plundering the Greeks, the Musselan are 4:propelled to plunder themselves—a violent e!t pedieut, that osometisog supply their necessities, ar fully establishes the desperate state of their affait a. The Irma of the Greeks at sea, we rejoice to Ind, s re not less prosperous than on land. Au article fin Corfu gives • detailed account of a new victo ty over a Torkish squadron off the coast of the islet ad of Negropoat. This squadron, called the Seemed Expedition, au composed of 40 transports, ponied by three frigstes and a three-decker, wish 8,000 troops oa board, destined to hurl no the coast of Napoli di Rumania, and form •j uuctiou wish the Turkish army. After a short engogemerit the Turkish squadron fled. About three-fourths el the troops fell in the action, or were dames , . and not ouch more than a fourth of the transports effected their escape, with the loess of one of the frigates. This new proof of the decided superiority of the Greeks at sea, inspires sanguine hopes os their complete sod final success. The Turks, coo. scious of their inferiority, are panic struck at the sight of their enemy. They are thus half conquered before a shot has been fired. A letter from Cyprus gives a detail of cruelties exercised by the Turks in that Wood, not less horrible than those which made ScM the abode of misery and de spair. That island. the birth-place of Vast:se and the abode of the Graces—Cyprus, a name that associates itself with all that is mild, rink. and delicate, innocent and happy, is uow a scene ..t desolation, and • prey to the most ferocious sod barbarous passions that disgrace human nature, and place man below the brutes of the field. On Monday a Board of the Lords of the Tre;s atiry was held at the Treasury Chambers, at which the CRANCELLOK of the EU:REQUIRE was Psescut after which he krt town fur the tesideute of Mr. Sumitee, at Hutchlands.
