Ministry to cast a prejudice upon the saceeti cause of liberty in Greece. The term " Carbon■ri" has been used at least by the Crowned Heads of Eu rope and their Ministers, as a term of reproach, and consequently when we find it applied by the French Ministers to the glorious band of war riors and patriots who are combating in Greece againot the barbarous oppressors of their country, we can easily understand the injurious impression which . the Cabinet of the Tuileries entertains and wishes to convey respecting their noble exertions. We regret this feeling on the part of the Govern ment of France, as injurious to the Greeks and disgraceful to the French. This conspiracy has been lying aside, and almost forgotten, during eighteen month., and now we find it suddenly brought to light with this indirect blow at the Greeks at the very moment when the question of their freedom is about to be discussed by a Congress of the Princt s ti Europe. We almost suspect that so remarkable a conjuncture was not unintentional; at all events, it cannot be doubted that this conspiracy, which will at the time of the Congress be fresh in the minds of the Sovereign., will teed considerably to give a bias to their deli berations unfriendly to the general liberties of man kind. The trial will probrbly occupy several days. The intelligence from the East is important. It ap pears that the remains of the Turkish fleet which es. caged destruction off Scio, had taken shelter in (th rew, in the island of Mytelene, the ancient Li shot, its return to the Dardanelles having been cut off by ■ Greek fleet cruising before that Strait. Olivetti be ing en open rut, it was expected that the Turks would destroy the ships to prevent their falling into the hands of the Greeks. It is also mated that the Russian fleet at Sebastopol, in the Black Sea is in a state of preparation. It is said to consist of four teen sail of the line, a force fully sufficient to over awe Turkey, for which purpose report states it is intended. The successes of the Greeks appear to hare increased the fury of the 000(11.111 P o rte. Letters from Constantinople of the 201 h ult. assert, that the GRAND SEIGNIOR lied caused two of the imprisoned Bishop■ to be hanged, and that the new Patriarch had also been put to death, though it was not exactly known in what manner. The British Merchants must deeply regret the delay of oar Government in recognising the inde pendence of the South American States. It must, however, afford great satisfaction to their trans atlantic neighbours. Of the liveliness of their joy some idea may be formed from the following observations of the Editor of one of the New York Papers, at the time when the success of the arms of Colombia had assumed a decisive character, and secured its independence:— "A few days since we took the liberty, in a short para. graph, to call the attention of the American merchants to the vast markets about to be opened to the enterprise of the world, in the late American Colonies of Spain : and we now beg leave again to direct their attention to the name subject, sr we are apprehensive, notwithstanding our propinquity to them, that the vigilant and indefatigable John Bull will get the start of ire. It has been for months reduced to a cer tainty, that Spain can no longer exercise any authority over her revolted subjects: the United States have for mally recognised their independence ; and at the mo• meat of their taking rank among the nations of the earth, while we have the opportunity, it is all im poitant that we make arrsagemente to secure those commercial advantages which will naturally fall to us, in , consequence of our having been the first to acknowledge and proclaim their national existence. " The British merchants, and the British Government, ale not iiiscnsilde to the vast field for commercial enterprise now (Inning in the New Weld; nor are they blind to the immense advantages which we possess over any other natien, poi Ida we are prompt in availing ourselves of them. Wit oess the alacrity with which a meeting was held in London, the moment it was known that the Government of the United Stales was about to acknowledge the independence of those fine coonteics. The prureedings of that meeting are already before the public, mid what we are contending for is there expressly acknowledged, viz —Mal in consequence of tit timely ntea.ntres taken by this Gorernment, the vessels this country will be entitled to decided advantages, hills short of a moropuly of the trade, until Great Britain, and other countries, shall by similar measures become entitled to share in it And it naval be remembered, that the memo rial to the !Ards (I the Prirn Council upon this subject, received ininvtdiale athrition, and a faecurable derision. This latter part phew@ clearly of what importance the South American and Mexican markets are held in. the great commercial emporium of Europe. And we may rest ismer ed, that en eneasnrra which ingenuity can device, and intrigue and capital accomplish, will be neglected to obtain the command of those markets, to our partial or entire se clusion. Surely our merchants should attend to this sub. ject without a moment's delay. Such things have not been usual in this country, hut we would beg leave to suggest a meeting of Use heavy merchants, with a view to a combined and efficient attempt to extend our commercial relations iu that country, and rctablt.h them upon a thimble basis. Our matiefiii iiiters, also, whose fabrics are fast arriviug to excellence, and many of them to perfection, cannot be in sensible to the "art advantages which that immense southern maker will colder upon them, if they do not suffer the op portunity to escape. He have only to "take time by the forelock," and we may pedlars monopolize the market for I , t:011 Kurds of the whole southetn continent (excepting the Brazils). and including Mt xico. Of what immense con. (menet would it be to us, if the middle and eastern stairs • wet k up the raw ntahricl of the south, and exchange it for the produce and preemie* metals of Mexico and Peru. There ore many either articles of American manufacture beside, rottoo, with which we might supply that market. And what manufactures cannot be supplied direct by iss, can he fui nisbed from II e English workshop', and from the In dic., through the Ammican merchants. Thus a wide duct„. • he Opel, for an extensive carrying trade. '. It tiny that we are visiortasy, and that these views are Oi.l) a dreznis of gold but it duce "Neese to us ) that the acinowledgeeent of Spanish American independence his opened to the United States so almost boundless field for commercial enterprise, which, if properly improved, will glue a fresh spring to every species of American industry, that will yield a golden harvest, so abundant ■s amply to compensate as for the embarrassments of the last few years," —(Nrso York Paper.) The ship Lusitania, Lieut. %V. LONGDON, R.N. Commander, passed up Channel last week for the River from the South Seas, Sydney, Van Dieman's Land, and Rio Janeiro, having taken in part of her cargo, of 150 tons elephant oil, at Nlacquarrie Island (in the South Seas), and completed it with sugar and coffee at Rio. She kft Sydney Ist of January last, Derwent 21st February, and Macqnarrie Island 28th of March, and arrived at Rio un the 20th of May, having made the passage (*bout 5,000 miles) round Cape Horn in the short space of 17 days. She was struck by • heavy sea off the Cape, which broke the two lower gudgeons of her rudder. She left Rio the 13th of June, and ar rived in the Downs on the 17th of August, having performed a trading voyage round the world in four teen months and seven days. The Illarelerfield, of Pool, was repairing damages at Rio, which she had sustained in a squall, intending to fail for Vail Dieman's Land the latter end of June.— Great numbers of emigrants continued to arrive in our Australasian Colonies ; hut, as very few took out any capital, they will not do more by their labour than obtain a living for some time. The in crease of respectable settlers during the preceding two years exceeds the whole number that had ar rived in the preceding 32 years. The total popu lation or Sydney, Param•tta, Liverpool, Windsor, Bathurst, Newcastle, and the surrounding districts, was mustered at 34,500; •nd, including Van Die. man's Land, the inhabitants of the territory at large at 42,000 souls. As a proof of their commercial pro sperity, ten vessels had left the ports of Australasia, with cargoes for Europe, within a very few days. Commodore Sir THOMAS HARDY was lying at Rio. in the Creole frigate, as was the American frigate Constellation, which ship arrived the day before the Lusitania sailed from Valparaiso.—We regret to hear that Captain THOMAS GRAHAM, of hia Ma jesty's ship Doris, died at Valparaiso in the begin ning of May. His widow, Mrs. MARIA GRAHAM (the celebrated authoress), intended to proceed to England by the first English ship. The ship Lady Ridley, Captain WEIR, which arrived last week at Portsmouth with a cargo of pepper from Batavia and the Cape of Good Hope, sailed from the fo►mer place on the 13th of Fe bruary, and from the Cape on the 30th of April.— A heavy gale was experienced at the Cnt•e on the 28th and 29th of that month, daring which his Ma jesty's ship Hyperion, Captain LILLICRAP, drove end carried away the moorings of a 74 -Kull ship, and two Russian ships, hound on voyages of dis covery, patted from their anchors, but brought up, alter driving very near the rocks. The Lady Rid ley had the flukes of her best bower anchor broken. She called Portsmouth for orders, and to recruit her provisions and water. We copy the following paragraph from a rorts mouth Paper (110TTLEY's Hampshire Telegraph). We cannot reconcile it with the zeal professed by our Government, and the sociificea which it has made, for the abolition of 64 disgrace of the civilized world, the Slave Trade:— " The two French vessels, Vigilante and L'l'renle, which were captured by the boars of his Itlajests's ship. Iphigenia, Sir ROBERT MINDS, and Myrmidon, Captain LECKE, slier such a severe contest, in the river Bonny, have been released, and sailed yesterday for Cherbourg. The one which put into Plymouth (La Petit Betzry)is also ordered to be sent to the same port." The Editor of the Portsmouth Paper follows up this statement with the following just observa tions:— "It appears to es unaccountable that these v Is should be restored, after haring been captured five degrees to the northward of the Line, with several hundred slaves actually on hoard, and so trading (as we have always understood) contrary to express treaties. Now, our Government will have to pay to the captors about 10/. a head as bounty money fur each slave, awl, most probably, be obliged to give to the owners of the vessels as much money fur their cargoes of human flesh, and Rends of men! as they would have realized for them in the West Indies, had the vessels reached those islands (which was physically possible) with every individual slave on board. The breath sit faith in the due observance of the Slave Abolition Treaties (as they are called) by Erotic', Spain, and Purtugil, as well as the abuses so tarty introduced, and so fatally generated in the Courts of the hlised Commission, at S;crra Leone, w ere f u lly exposed by the dispatches of the former most excellent Commander on the African Coast (Sir George Ralph Col lier, Bart. K.C.B ), laid before Parliament in the last Session, and which excited the most lively and philanthropic feeling among all ranks of the Legislature, and produced the memo rable decision and Address to the King of the 28th of June last, whirls speaks so clearly rind manfully, and so firmly, the wishes and expectations of the country upon the slave cause." A messenger (we believe ROSEN BERG) was sent off on Saturday night with dispatclwv fur the KING at Edinburgh. It is now said that the Congress of Allied Sove reigns will conunruce at Vienna, be continued at Verona, and doled at Milai, hut no anti:factory reason is given fur this change of s cree, It is affirmed that the Dukr of ‘VELLINGTON is to meet the Emperor of ItusstA at Vienna on the 15th of September, and that Mr. I'Lawr• accom panies his Grace, as Secretary to the mbsion,— (t renbig Paper.)

Yesterday, soon after twelve o'clock, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Princess AUGUSTA,attend ed by Lady IsaseLLA MTN Ng and MissW TN YARD, rode out in the Princess AUGUSTA'S open carriage and four, accompanied by Colonel HIGGINS in a gig. The Royal party proceeded to the seat of Lord WILLOUGSIBY Ds BROILS, at Compton Ver pry. The Noble Lord being absent, their Royal Highnesses were received by his Lordship'. sister, the Hun. Mrs. BARNARD, and the Rev. ROBERT BARNARD, who conducted the Princesses over the spacious mansion and extensive grounds. Their Royal Highnesses, after partaking of some refresh ment, proceeded to the residence of the Rev. Mr. BARNARD, two miles distant, at Lighthnrne, which occupied the attention of the Royal Duchess and the Princess AUGUSTA • short time. Their Royal Highnesses returned here s3on after six o'clock. The Princess AUGUSTA and a select party dined with the Duchess of GLOUCESTER. The Duke of GRAFTON and family arrived last night. His Grace, accompanied by Lady FITZ !tor, were at the Pump-room at ■ very earl• hour this morning. and had left before the arrival of the Princesses. The Ddisager Countess of CARDIGAN arrived in her carriage and four yesterday afternoon at five o'clock. Her Ladyship's residence is No. 5, Upper Union-street, within six houses of the Princess GusTA's. We had no promenade in the gardens last evening, the band being engaged for the ball for the Master of the Ceremonies in the Assembly Rooms, New Town, which was very numerously attended, and Oil account of the dancing commencing at an early hour, soon after eight o'clock, agreeably to a fixed rule at the estahlishment, and dose. at twelve o'clock. Upon thus occasion the cars and sedan chairs, which are here in greet numbers, were in ge octal request. The can, which are in general very handsome, are much used for short rides to War wick, Kenilworth Castle, and other places which attract the attention of visitors. The cars are open ut the top, and make clo.e carriages fur the even ing, or in case of fall of weather. The French Ambassador entertained his Excel lency Baron FAGIEL and a distinguished party at dinner yesterday at his house in Portland-place.

ISLE OF WIGHT. GOMM, AUGUST 24. The inhabitants of this little watering place have experienced a great disappointment in the departure of the King for Scotland ; but it is believed his Ma jesty will spend two or three days, on his return, ■t the castle of the Marquis of Anglesey, and one day •t Mr. Nash's beautiful residence, culled East Cowes Castle.—Among the last arrivals are— The Earl of Shrewsbury and family, Lady C.

The sportsman never had a more exhilarating pro. spect of sport than the present season affords him ; the birds are numerous and strong on the wing, and it may be fairly presumed no standing corn will im pede the pursuit of game when found. Last week the annual fat buck, given by his Grace the Duke of NORFOLK to the ,Mayor And Corporation of Arundel, was served up at the Nor folk Anus Hotel, to a large party, who partook of Ins Grace's munificence.

Saturday was a holiday at the Bank, and the Stock Exchange hawing been also shut, the transac tions in the fund. were wholly confined-to private bargains, very few in number, anti presenting co variation on the plicis of several days preceding. Consols appear fixed at 801 10 4, with a continua tion of about 2 per cent. for the October account. Wednesday next is settling-day at the Stock Exchange fur the time-bargains, but the busine►s has been on so small a scale, and the fluctuations are so limited, that there is no prospect of a varia tion in price either way being produced by the set tlement. In the foreioi political circles a ransom' has been for some time current, and has latterly acquired greater consistency, that measures are secretly taking for promoting the union of Spain and Portugal as one kingdom. An event more favourable to the maintenance of constitutional liberty in Europe could scarcely occur ; and we hear that there is less difficulty to be apprehended from the opposition of the leading political chsrac• ten of both countries, than, in a cape involving so much national feeling, might be anticipated. What has mainly assisted to secure the good will of Por tugal to the incorporation is, the assurance that the sovereignty, at the death of FERDINAND, will be conferred on the House of Braganza. We shall watch this moat interesting measure in its progress, and communicate all the information in our power. —(Banday Paper.) THE LUTINE FRIGATE.-40 answer has been received by the underwriters at Lloyd's Coffee house from the Dutch Government, which has excited some surprise. It regards the Latine frigate, which, as has been stated in the news. papers, was long since wrecked on the coast of Holland, with half a million of specie on hoard, intended for Prussia. Not a soul survived, nor was it know!' what had become of the frigate until re cently, when she was found buried in the sand on the Dutch coast. The British Government, which sent the specie as a subsidy to Prussia, insured at LLOYD'S, and, in due course, received the money on proof of the• loss. the insurers, therefore, or such of them as are alive, applied a short time since to the Deitch Government, for permission to take the specie out of the wreck of the Lviisof• The answer obtained, though very courteous, is by no means satisfactory upon any account; it is this, that as the Lartine was wrecked pending a war with Holland, the property of course became Dutch, end no restoration can therefore be made. Hid the disaster occurred while peace existed, the Dotch Government would have been most ready to afford every facility for the recovery of the specie Isom the wreck. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant having anp pointed the flat inst. for discontinuing the relief hitherto afforded, the Commissioners appointed by his Excellency will not receive any epplicalisM after that day.—(Dieblin Murrains Post.) A paragraph has been copied from the Dublin papers into I of our English journals, stating that " great distress and dissatisfaction preteils amongst the numerous tenantry of the estates tif.the Earl FITZWILLIAM, in the comity of Wicklow, in consequence of the war rents being demanded and enforced. That during the war the rents were ex tremely moderate, and while times held up, bts Lordship's tenantry were amongst the happiest iii Ireland ; but that now, it was a fact too notorious to require proof or illustration, that a rent, which allowed a man to live luxuriously six or seven years ago, scarcely leave. him a shred or a morsel iii these times, es with the prices and markets of 1828, they have to pay the rents of 1815.

We might.eliter 'tato the mode by which Irish property is let, arid haww' entirely it differs from the manner of this countiy. did it appear necessary, and we might observe, that if any abatement of rent is requisite, ,it ts•oot t, those persons (stated to have hitherto lived iii.lisx ury) who have their holdings direedy milder his Lordship, but to those poorer individuals who lire sub-tenants, and over whom his Lordship can have neither the power to control or relieve.—f Doncaster Gazette.) • The Committee for the monogeosnot of the Arundel Market Fund hose resolved to ,awarrtio the bringers of the bast walla of varioos derti.- tions..on the, Rut Christmas ,ehete,dty. otirsotota silter cups.
