SIENNA. MAY 15. . . (EXTRACT OF A. PRIVATE LETTER.) . 1 0 0 ,1 4 ' We were Dot deceived in stating, in a previous letter, that the system of the Ottoman Porte wits to temporise to gain time, by the torgociai 1111 l s coin. meuced a year since, and mooned at_intervsla, in srder to obtain the 111111111/ of flialtillK use of all its resources, for the purpose of subjecting the Greeks and terminating the war in Asia. This able tic. tkine of the Divan, supposing it even to he found. on the false basis, tbst the repression of what it calls the Greek Insurrection io very easy, ay anon as she Porte can bring into action all its di-pomade force, has hitherto partly succeeded. and may have 'till more success, if, through comotlevattott for . tfier Cabinets, the Court of. Petersburg!) contioues to retreat° inactive. The Porte hopes, and it has made a step in udvanee, to obtain this remolt. " Aeling upon this system of tergiversation'iski delay, it has at length replied to the new repre‘ens wow made to it by the two Envoys, to whose trestlelel the negociation is confided. Protesting its-eaniest desire to maintain peace wit I) all Powers ih general, and especiully with Russia, the Reis Effendi explains t h e. motives of the determination of the 'plena Divan of the 28th February. and endeavours to prove that the Porte has completely satisfied all aharthere existed tiny right to exact from it. He endeavours particularly to justify the determination •adoptrd respecting ‘Vellachia end Moldavia, of which he 'again promises the entire evacuation by • the.Ottomais towns as soon as the Greek insurree mon shell be ion down. It is sufficient to say, that the Porte has also its Ultimatum, and that it per. • in it, as Russia declares she will persist in >ler'. There is, therefore, at the present moment a .it,whoiao Ultimates and a Turkish Ultimatum. Our Cabinet will doubtless communicate this new over. . Sure of the Porte to the Court of Russia, and will not fad to propose to make new remonstrances to the Orood4gnior toioduce him to modify his Ilitintara re. The communication about to be made to the Rua mew eshinet cannot •ITIVO at Petershargh before the .26th instant. The answer will' be here about the 10th June. The new instructions given to 1"!. de Lntzow cannot reach him till about the 1 25th u 1 .done; he will then present a /tee Note about the end of that month. The Porter according to its custom, will reply a wroth afterward'. • "The summer will pass in transmissions and cum municatiuns,aud the Porte will again gain a sum. wer, and thus postpone ulterior measures till the arrring of 1823, during- which internal means may be. fuutid of rotative% every thing."

Yesterday a G.weral Meeting of the Proprietor, of the East lades Cumuany was held at the India House, fur the purpose of preeenting a Complimentary Address to (be Mar. quis of Hastings, previous to his surrender of the *Adininie median of India. At twelve' o'clock the Chairman took the Chair, and after some preliminary business had bees gnus through, he stated that that special meeting bad been cos-- wetted for the purpose of iiiibmittiug to the Court the vote of thanks which the Court of Directors had weed should be presented to the Moat Noble the Marquis of Hastings, Go. "door-General of India, Knight attic Must Noble Order of the Gaiter, eke. &e. &c. The Secreiary then road 1110 Resolution, which was in sub. stance as follows : " Resolved—That this Court fully approving the seeded, of the Marquis of Hailing., Governor-General of inilia,firo. are anxious to place upon record their sincere regret that stay ciresnaithencek should here occurred so induce him to ea peril Ws &Vire to be relieved from the duties of his exalted station ; and tide Conn are further •nzious, before the re. tent of the Noble Marquis to Europe, to promulgate ihe high upfision they entertain of the unrentittiire stained die. tingoished ability with which he has administered the affairs of British India during a piled of nine year., so honoue► ably to himself, sail so beneficially to the diuresis of the East India Campste." The en AittuAN then observed, that it would reqeire but very few °tweedier's' Gaon him upon the distinguished diameter of the Marquis of Hamitic , to ensure an unanimity ofispiniee with respect to the Resolution which had been just read. The object of that vote was sod to approve of any perticular act, bet to place upon record the opinion which the Court•of Proprietors entertained of the general merits .f that illustrious individual. It would tint then be necessary to produce any stogie document, fur the history • adinioestratioa of the Margins of Hastings was to be fated lit every paper which he bad tranensitted to this coon try.—(Flear,bear.)—Tlte present was sot his Pest tins. for the Court to be celled open to express their admiration of his cwidoci. He had received their desks upon two I occasions for the ability and talent with iirldeb he had con ducted the wars ageism the Nepalese and :delimitate to • tomeeseful cooelosaws; and at a subsequent period he re ceived • pecuniary testimony of their favourable opinion of his general services. The present vote, then, might be coo. Aimed •. summary of his Lordship's administration, and he trusted a Resolution would be proposed by some Pro prietor and owned, unanimously In oecordauce with that which bad been agreed to by the Court of Dieectors.—(Hear, hear.)—The result of the adiniuistratioa of Lord Hew n' , was to be rimed in the general prosperity of ladle, and the nuerishing couJitkin of its }loaners. It 'ode ohly thift morn ing he had received fires him • most able expose of the &asocial slate of India, frum whieb the Company were Oddly pet i• possession of a surplus of revenue above their expenditure, amounting to • crore and a half of rupees.— (Hear, hear. By the operation of one finitude' measure, namely, the removal of the payment of interest from India to England, a saving had been effected to the Company of between ISO and 400,0001. per eneitm.—(Hear, hear.)—Be sides all this, the iallnence produced open the moral charac ter of India by the wise nelmihistration of the present Gowernor.Gemeral, called for their wisimest approbation. He hoped he had now said enough to coovioce the Court that the vote of thanks armed to by the Court of Directors was not more limn was weed by the meritorious savicell of die Marquis of Hastings.—(Hear, hear.) • Upon the motion of Mr. RAN, pLg JACICRON , the former motes of thanks presented to the Margot' of Hasher, aud 'Alluded to by the Chalmette, were read. Mr. JACKSON tbestddressed the Court. He said it was Arouse funportetace thit the attention of the Court should teealled to mu ne of the trailing points which distinguished illfe adotosietration of the Martinis of Hastioge, ie order to Induce them to give their hearty coecurreisee to she Result.- dun which he meant to propose. The character of th a t illustrious iud.vidual, as a brave, West, and enterprising soldier, was seamed, known before hi. appointment to the goveroosest of India, to justify the hopes that were then enterisioed. But hie •lnust uoparalleled successes since that period have far surpassed the moat sanguine expecte dons. Hr hoped that no individual would call upon the Court in eater iniu minute details or radical it puiuts,when they side assembled to consider the general merits of the tithmiaistratfon. The whole government of the Noble Mar. gem, both in condoettug the wars ou which they were to gaged, aud bib wisdom in at:Emends( theif possessions, de. mauled their warmest approbation. And he would du homage to the man who would boldly stand up tad bring forward au acciimitioil spout the general conduct of bit ad. ministration, it he had information enough to 'rapport it. But ib that case be should expect the ordinary privilege of a reply.—(Hear, bear.)—lt was not merely upon the immediate advantages the Company derived from the wise administra tion of the Noble Marquis that he founded his approbation of his conduct : for he should consider the aggrandizement of territory worthless aud unhallowed if unaccompsuied by the happiuma of the inhabitants. And they had the strongest proofs of the disposition of the GovtroodGeneral to accom plish that object, by appointing Mr. Elphiustone Governor of Bombay, and Sir Juhti Malcolm to examine and report upon lbe condition of the ceded provinces; and it most be a sub. ject of great exeltatiuo to all who heard him, that these pro duds wire now aniougat the happiest portions of the Bri . doh subjects.—(Hear, hear.)—He should tent detain the Court luoger, but should conclude by aubmittiwg a motion entbudyisig the preceding vote, with a view to establish one perfect whole. The Hon. Gentlemea then proposed a Re solution to this effect : " Resolved—That this,Court do fully concur in the senti ments of admiration fur time zeal and ability with which the Moguls of Hastings has administered the affairs of India during a period of nine years, expressed in the vote of thanks air tea to by the Court of Directors, as well as in the Heso. lotions of this Court of February and March, 1179: mot this Cuert du pinicipate is. the sincere regret of the Court of Directors that any circumstances should have ioduc. eel the Noble Marquis to express a wish to be relieved from the duties of his exalted station ; and that the Directors be Mistreated to cunvey to the Noble Marquis front this Court the expression of their sibfeigned admiiatiou, gratitude, and respect.."—(Hear, hear.) Mr. NOEL said be folly acquiesced in every sentiment which had beets uttered in praise of the Marquis of Has tings" and lie begged to round she motion. The Hun. D. KINNAIRD said, the time had at length arrived when the Court of Directors had thought fit to dill upon the Court of Proprietors so express their opinion us the civil administration of the Meiquis of Hastings. They were summoned to join in their expressions of grief and re gret, and in order that it might be promulgated in India before the Marquis of Hastings should hsve quitted those shores. If the Directors believed that, at this time of day, a comment from the East India Company on any persons in authority would be receivederith au undiecriminating reve rence which wails not on the judgment, be would take leave to tell them they were • trailer of a century in ar. rear of the intellect of the rest of the community. He thoreht she present vole ill tinted, and hid before called opus the Directors for the purpose of retaining their thanks to she Noble Marquis, and he was did' sold they had no documents justify such a rote—but were there any now before the Court? Not one; but • resolution was got olls •pparently.on the spur of the occasion, to meet the 'Marquis of Hammes " befurs' his return from India; but if, instead of " before," the word had been " because," it seemed to host that it would havoexpresited the sentiments more truly. Bus should these cull regrets mid tardy thanks be fa• soured by the winds, mid oleo the Morellos of Hall digs on his eastern throne, they would be lost amidst the Diocesec sighs and regrets of the population fur oboe be The Hon. DOUGLAS EINNAIRD and the Hon. Colo eel STANHOPE explained. Mr. LOWNDES, is reply to what had fallen from the Honourable Colonel Stanhope, doubted whether the freedom of the press in Europe fur the last thirty years had at all contributed to the virtue of Europe: of this he was pretty sere, that if Mr. Buckingham had heed is Fraser, the aim den Richard the. Third would have said at otter--" Off with ►is ►ead."—(A laugh.)—He ■greed with Mr. Hume, that it would ha►e bees better bad they had the documents before they gave their thanks to the Noble Marquis ; but he thought the ohne well chosen (at the close of the Noble Marquis's achniuistratiou), and the day also, being royal oak day, and their juiciest' in India had been protected by the royal oak; the 29th of May was therefore a my fitting day on which to express their gratitude. Sir JOHN DOYLE said, when the question fur a money grant was before the Court, he abstained from entering into the discuseue, bemuses as 14 was knows he was ho noured with the frieudship of the Noble Marquis, he thought it would nut be delicate to enter into that, debate. The candid and eloquent statements of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman who moved the resolutions, and the other Honnursble Proprietor (Mr. Douglas Kinnaird) had ex hausted and anticipated every thing that could be said spoil 'the 'object now before Our Court, sod lie must be accused of very bad taste who by • repetition should mar their effect. Brilliaut as had been the successes of Lord Hastings, they were nothing more then were expected from him by every one who had served uuder him. He spoke this nut Guns •ague report but from his own experience, having served wilder him on his personal shift iu several parts of the world. The Honourable Proprietor (Jr. Home), though he commenced by complimenting the Noble Marquis, had qualified his ettloglum with such frequent repetition of that lll.ownened mntto•yllable •• list," as completely to neutralize his praise.

He had suffered deprivation of rank for his opinions ow reli (ions freedom in Ireland, and for thesseslntennisee of the li berty of the press in India, but that should ni:ver prevent him from expressing his grimmeste without restraint. The Hoe. Proprietor proceeded to panegyrise the coodoet of the Go. Reno, General fur the attention be had bestowed on the esta blishments for education ; and above all, for his establish. lbeat of a free press, under whose influence the Hindou Serporstition, the growth of thirty eantories, with its long train of abases, with its 48,0110 prophets and millions of Gbds, would graduallj'irease to mist.

The Hon. Proprietor then read Nom several documents to skew that the Marquis of Hastier was Ihe Aral Governor General of ledia who promoted education there ou a great scale. It was amused that the Marquis of Hastiogs had broken in upon the freedom of the press by his eunJnct to an individual named Bucking. ham. He would not condescend to excuse Lord Hastings era the ground of the indiecretion of that individual, nor of the practice of other Governors-General. Lord Heather had been @reused of bringing a criminal information against this person, and in so doing be had bat exercised a power to which every man who wrote for the press its England was object, and It could scarcely be pretended that what Gil bert Wakefield, Sir Franc a Burdett, and other distinguished persons had been liable to in England, Mr. Bueldughaas should be exempt from in Hindostan. The Hon. Proprietor concluded by moving two additional Resolutions, express. lug the gratitude of the Court of Proprietors to the Gower. our-Geueral for lim attention to the tate eeeee of education, mod for the establishmeot of a free press in India.

He should be valise to root for the resolution'on that p ct tbat the Court of Directors had come to as bubbillll/11b bale aro the snhject, and he therefore supposed t y moot have documents is their possession which jusiii it. With re je erect to the improvement in thus at pe ' resource; sa Mated by the Hon. Chairman, he did not grearrid his appro. helium on that, for improvement of revit&e be thought a secoodary consideration ; though, as far as Ise could judge from documents laid before the House of Cumulous, that statement was not borne out. lo 1813 the debt was 29,000,0001. sterling; in 1831 it was 39,000,0001., an in crease of 9,000,0001. As to the revenue in 1813, it amount ed to 17.2157,0001. leaving a net surplus revenue, afire deducting interest of debt and all charges, of 1,830,0001. Is 1819 the revenue amounted to 'onetime millions, being an increase of Iwo millions; but then the ex penses bore no proportion, and the result was, that in 1819 there was nu surplus , but b net summit charge of 285,9001.; which, added to the surplus revenue is 1813, made a difference of 2,095,000/.

He regretted that the Noble Marquis had commented by threatening Mr. Burkiugham ' and had not proceeded legally at once. He also regretted that some of the dell servants of the Company had made themselves par tied tame to an abomiusble newspaper called the John Dalt He Concluded by eapreming his hope that the successor of the Noble Marquis would avail himself of the very few errors (and they were &over thou bad bees brought agaioat any former Governor General), and take care to avoid them. THE DUKE (IF BEDFORD. We nn Tuesday noticed the arrival of the Duke of Bedford and family at Endaleigh Cottage, his seat on the hanks of the Tamer, where he was waited upon by a Deputation from Tavistock, with ■ congratulatory address upon the happy termina tion of the late difference with another Noble Peer. The following to a copy of the Addreu and of the speeches which (allowed:— • "IMI LORD Deign—We, the Portretve and inhabitants of the town of Tavistork and its vicinity, humbly beg leave to express our happiness (1111 vont arriva l in Devonshire, and to testify our lively and heartfelt satisfaction in basing ibis opportunity afforded us of congratulating your Grace, your Noble retail'', consellons, and the kingdom at huge, on your late happy escape from Willey. We trust that the hoed of Providence will continue to be exteeeirel to protegee a life of so much worth, and that it may be loug preserved in health and safety." Another Gentleman then addressed his Grace to the following effect : " That most cordially concurring in the sentiments just delivered by the worthy Purtreeve, they felt called upon to add, that, valuable as his Grace's life was to ell around him, and estimable as his character might be in private life, It was on account of its poi& lucidness that they principally came to join on that °crams in a tribute of respect which, he was convinced, every individual theft present concurred in. Alluding to his Grace's public conduct, he begged leave to express their high gratifieation that the life of so diatiugnished an advocate of the people had been spared ; and respectfully to assure him, that they felt the highest ad miration of his Grace's political conduct, on all occasions connected with the rights, the liberties, sad the liappieese of the People of Etightsd ;. sod to present their sincere thanks for his unwearied exertiona as a Peer of the Realm, in sup. pinta( the real interests of the nation, and the privileges of the people." His Grace then spoke as follows " Mi. Portreere and Gentlemen--1 And it difilcall to ea ves. how moth and how deeply I feel the volifylng mark. of .atteatio• you have 'hewn me this day.

The Noble Duke delivered this reply with that feeling and dignity which, added to the interesting situation in which he stood., with two of the younger branches of his family, Lord Wriothealey and Lord Charlet Russell, by his side, that it drew tears from the eyes of some, and affected the hearts of all present. After his Grace hod concluded, he politely invited the party to partake of refreshment., and they were inhered into the hall, where an elegant cold colla tion was served up, at which. he Kesided. The Noble Duke shortly afterwards took his leave, said the company, after viewing the pleaaere grounds end romantic beauties around them, departed, highly gratified with their hospitable reception, and the politeness and urbanity of the Noble Family at BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH AN MAGAZINE, Number LXIY. will be publisbcd ow FRIDAY MORNING (To worruw).

This may account for the extraordinary importance attached to the unfortunate affair of which it is the result. Among eirdmed nations an accidental rencontre, attended with the la** of two or three lives. would nut threaten the destruction of their friendly relations. It would seem, however, that in the case of violent death, the Chinese acknowledge no distinction. The doctrines of manslaughter, justifiable homicide, Asc. all those niceties of the English law are un known to them ; and y case of violent death by the hands of • foreigner is to be tressed and punished as wilful murder. This was the law lately ANN At to a poor American sailor.

We regret, but are not sarpried at it. The Americans now drive a moat sae_ central trade with Chins. It was through the American Papers we first received en account of the fracas «Mt the repose ; and, we doubt not, enlllll3eftiel speculation ham found it as useful then as it is felt in the London markets.

The Spa nish Minister, Don JOAQUIN Ds ANDUAGA, talks in his Protest of the many kind and friendly services rendered by Spain so the United States, sod charges them with ingratitude in taking a step ad- True to the interests of his Colliary. What a pre cious simpleton this self-same Dim JOAQUIN most he! The words " gratitude," end' ,, ingrittt ude," we thought were unknown in the modern political vo cabulary. The strong and eirngetic terms in which this measure was originally recommended iu the Message of the Plant:lt:sr of the United Sate►. bespoke its warm reception by the Legislature. It is already known that in a fall House of Re presentatives it encountered only the opposi tion of a solitary Meal* and that even he was not allowed to record Isis negotivo upon its Journals. Its reception in the Senite was not less favourable. On the 29th ult. the question was discussed in that assembly, wl►en an amendment, reported by the Committee of Foreign Relatio: for increasing the sum to be employed in carry; i r the measure iuto effect, from 100,000,000 doll .a to 110,000,000, was negatived. Another amendment, providing that no money should be drawn from the Treasury until the President was fully satisfied the proceeding would not interrupt the friendly relations of the United States, was also r. egstived. Other amendments shared the same fate, but no objection* were urged to the principle of the Bill, which wu finally ordered to be read a third time. Indeed. without giving the United States of America credit for extraordinary love of liberty, we could not have anticipated a different result. There is no solid and substantial difference between their own case with relation to their separation from Eog- Isml, and the case of the Southern States of America with regard to Old Spain. Don JOA. Quin affects to see a difference, but it exists only in his imagination. Besides, the United States expect to derive great advantages from this prompt recognition of the independence of the Southern Stones, and that is an argument not to be resisted by a commercial people.
