FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Saturday.) CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 12.—The distress and want of provisions have greatly increased for some time past. A new order of the Government abolishes the monopoly of the corn trade, which has hitherto subsisted, and it is hoped that measure will check the spirit of usury, and that many concealed stores will he brought to light. A few ships with corn have also arrived lately from the Black Sea. The festival of the Bairam has passed over with the usual ceremonies. The news received from Teheran of the murder of the Russian Ambassador and his suite has convinced the Turks that war between Russia and Persia will certainly break out again. ODEss.s.—We have news from Asiatic Turkey, Which says that it is reported in the Pachalics which we have conquered that the Turks are col lecting a very great force at Erzerourn. It is also said that the son of the Pacha of Egypt is coming with a large corps of regular troops. It is evident that the Turks are making every exertion to begin the campaign early. Meantime they are actively engaged in strengthening the fortifications of Erze roum. They are digging trenches, repairing the wa lls, making palisades, and erecting batteries in many places. All the accounts we receive by sea as well as by land agree that the distress at Constantinople is daily increasing. Not only corn and rice, but every ether kind of provision, is scarce. Meat costs five piasters per oka, N%lrich is an extraordinary high price for that city. P.tßls, MAY B.—Mr. Gordon, the new English Ambassador to the Porte, passed through Genoa on the 27th of April, and set out the same day, in tending to proceed by Florence to Naples.

The Journal of Odessa contains the following Bul letin :—" Hussein Pacba; who had assembled near Bout-gas, 4,000 infantry, and about 1,500 cavalry, at ta,ked• on the 9th April, at day break, with his whole force, the Mountain Redoubt, near Sigeholi, whilst Major Lebedeff, with the two battalion of the regiment Asoff defended with the greatest bravery the attack. The Turks were enabled, in spite of the fire of grape shotf - om from eight guns, supported by a well-directed fire of musketry, and by grenades that were thrown out of the trenches. An officer of the regular troops in the suit of Hussein P:cha and three other Turks, succeeded in ciimbir.g the parapet and penetrating to the interior of the Redoubt, where they fell pierced with wounds. At the moment of the first alarm, the troops forming the garrison of Sigeholi, assembled with astonishing rapidity on the Pr • leade before the place from which Geneal Wachten sent Chem against the enemy, viz. :—two battalions to the right, and two to the left, he himself, at the bead of one of these battalions, and two guns, sup ported by the regiment of Daieprofsk, marched against the right flank of the enemy, which was attacking the gate of the redoubt with great impetuosity. All the troops advanced with drums beating and loud huizas, and rushed on the enemy with fixed bayonets, the two guns keeping up a brisk tire of grape shot. The Turks, at tacked by a most violent fire were wholly broken, and fled in the greatest confusion. They were pursued to the farthest heights, where they sought refuge in the wood, and so retreated over the mountains to Bourgas. During the attack the fire of our gun-boats, placed on our right wing was very effectual. The loss of the enemy must have been very great, for besides a great number of killed and wounded that the Turkish cavalry carried off, we counted in the ditches, and to the place where the pur suit eased, 251 killed. We took five prisoners. We had 27 subalterns and privates 'killed, and one staff officer, five superior officers, and 67 subalterns and privates, wounded. Major Wachten received a contusion in the foot by a /lA.—Russian State Gazette, May 6.

It is pleasing to observe the contention and rivalry of nations exhibit themselves in the arts and sciences of peace instead of war and bloodshed, and to see two countries, which, whatever shades of difference may exist in their respective characters, and whatever hostilities may have prevailed between them, are yet more nearly allied by community of descent, and other relations, than almost any other nation of Europe, engaged in a generous contest for extending the boundaries of human knowledge. We allude to the cases of England and France. In the culti vation of many branches of natural knowledge our neighbours, for many years, far exceeded us in energy and assiduity. But the case is altered, and we now bid fair to be on a par with them in this re spect, if not to excel them. Zoology, which was long so generally neglected in England, has in par ticular, within a few years, become an object of general attention. Societies have been formed for its advancement, many works of value have been re-published, translated, or written upon it, and it has received the patronage of ma..y of our most dis tinguished characters, and all this within a compara tively short space of time. These reflections have been pressed upon us by an advertisement of the re publication of the earlier parts of that most valuable work " The Animal Kingdom," from the French of the Baron Cuvier, by Mr. Whittaker, who merits the thanks of every true lover of science, for re producing, in a cheaper form, and thus insur;ng a more extended circulation, to the completest reposi tory of Zoology, as far as it has gene, that haw yet appeared among us. This work is not, Qs the reader might suppose, a mere translation. The " Regne Animal " of Cuvier forms indeed its basis, but is yet the smallest of its constituent parts. A quantity of supplementary matter, replete with interest, and written in a style which reflects credit on the authors, is superadded to it. Nearly seven volumes are now completed, containing the mammalia, and two orders of the birds. The illustrating figures are executed with equal truth to nature and excellence of professional skill, and when we inform our readers that a great number of the mammalia, in particular, have been engraved by Landseer and Bassire, they will not consider our etilogium to be exaggerated. The whole work is edited by Mr, B. Griffith, F,L,S. Nis principal coadjutors are Major Charles Hata, ton Smith and Mr. Pidgeon. Amid a variety of most important awl interesting matter roßtained in "The Animal Kingdom," we would especially direct the attention of our readers to the Supplemental History of Man, in the com mencement of the work ; to the order Ruminantia, by Major Smith; to the account of Vertebrated Fossils, by Mr. Pidgeon ; and to the preliminary sketch of the Progress of Zoology, which, from the initials annexed to it, we believe to be from the same hand. But, in fact; every portion of the work is worthy of the highest attention, and fully merits that patronage from the public which we rejoice to bear that'it has so amply obtained. Nearly sixty families are about to emigrate from the parish of Cowrie to Canada, causing a reduction of from 200 to 300 on the amount of its population.— Alin/m.9h Evening Courant. - --- --- YRICRS OF IRISH STOCKS, DUBLIN, MAY 8.

The Gazette de France, in an article dated Con stantinople, April 1?, states that the distress and want of provisions have greatly increased for some time past. It adds (dating from Odessa) that the Turks are making every exertion to begin the cam paign early, and that the Paella of EGYPT is getting ready a large corps of regular troops. The same Journal mentions that the " news received from Teheran of the murder of the Russsian Ambas sador and his suite has convinced the Turks that war between Russia and Persia will certainly break out again." By an advertisement, inserted in the Times of this morning, we perceive that a subscription is an nounced for the benefit of those who have suffered by the late destructive earthquake in Mercia and other districts of Spain. The motives that originated this subscription are laudable, and such as do honour to the prompt and active charity of the public; but at the present crisis when so many thousands of our own operatives are either starving, or in a state bordering upon starvation, we can scarcely help thinking it ill-advised. If subscriptions for the unfortunate and the destitute—and when was Eng land ever backward in listening to the appeal of of fliction ?—are to be raised, those surely have the first and strongest claim on our compassion, who are linked to us by the common ties of country, interest, and brotherhood, who speak the same language, are bound by the same laws, are subjects of the same Sovereign, hold the same faith, and are now— with heart-felt sympathy we record the fact--wither ing under want, sickness, and every species of suf fering, arising from extreme destitution. If bene volence is to be shown, if subscriptions are to be raised, let these be the first objects of our bounty, and let 118 not curiously seek out in other lands those wretched and desponding paupers who mw be found in such abundance throughout England. For ourselves we cannot but grudge every shilling expended in charity abroad, when we see so much distress at home. We seem to feel that the prin ciples of charity, of justice, of common sense, are reversed ; that those are the first, who should he the last, relieved ; that our own country men should be first assisted, and that then— but not till then—the surplus of benevolence should be appropriated to the benefit of fo reigners. To succour Spaniards, when English men are starving, strikes us as being somewhat akin to that universal and Quixotic philanthropy, once so popular among the modern philosophers of the Revolution, and so happily ridiculed at the time by the piercing and judicious sarcasm of Mr. CANNING, which taught its disciples to overlook the claims of consanguinity, friend ship, and connection, in a boundless and extravagant -ympathy for the Universe in general and Europe in particular. We offer these remarks in no ungene rous spirit, but simply that our own distressed ope ratives may have justice done to their claims. Oporto Papers have been received, their contents are unimportant. Don 311c.t:EL, it seems—that paragon of meekness, continence, and sobriety—the affectionate brother, the dutiful son, the steady friend, the accomplished gentleman, the enlight ened Sovereign—this amiable and variously gifted young man, has, it seems, lately held a drawing room at the Palace of Queluz, in honour of the birth-day of her Majesty the EMPRESS QUEEN, on which joyful occasion Lisbon " was splen didly and spontaneously illuminated." Letters from Oporto state that " very strict regulations have been published at Coimbra respecting the admission of students to the University, in conformity with his MAJESTY'S decree of 22d April, for the purpose of preventing youths who have unhappily abandoned the good path from going to the University and corrupting others of whom there are no suspicions." OPORTO, MAY I.—The C'orreio contains two Decrees of his Majesty; the first addressed to the Viscount de Varzea, informing him that, in consideration of his loyalty and heal in his Majesty's service, he is removed from the post of military Governor of Upper Beira, to which he was appointed in November last, and promoted to the post of Governor of the district of Oporto. The second decree is addressed to Major-General A. H. de Fonseca Coatinho e Povoas, informing him that, as a reward for his ser vices in the operations against the rebels during the revo lution which commenced in the city of Oporto on the 16th May last, his Majesty has been pleased to promote him to the post of Upper Beira. ',lslam-4 APRIL 26.—Yesterday his Majesty held a grand drawing-room at the palace of Queluz in honour of the birth-day of ber Majesty the Empress Queen, at which a great number of peso of all ranks had the honour of paying their respects to his Majesty r,od the Infantas. The day was celebrated with the usual public demon stratious of respect, and in the evening the city was splen didly and spoiltoneously illuminated. °maw+, A7a.u. 3,d.

Jamaica Courant: have come to hand of the 28th March. The mail was to sail from Port Royal on the 14th April ; per his Majesty's brig Frolic, Lieut. BARRON, for Falmouth. A letter from St. Thomas's in the Vale says, they were visited on the 23d March, in the morn ing, by some smart shocks of an earthquake, ap parently from west to east, and as severe as that of 1817? ; and again, in the evening of the same day, several other shocks had been felt, but they do not appear to have occasioned any damage. At a meeting of the Court of Common Council of the city of Kingston, Jamaica, held on the 23d March, on a motion of Alderman ATKINsoN, seconded by Alderman YATES, the following Resolutions were Dr. ! unanimously agreed to : Resolved, That the Magistrates of this city have viewed with surprize and indignation the unconsti tutional aggression made upon the just rights of the Magistrates of Trelawney. Resolved, That although we are ready to facili tate every- constitutional inquiry into our conduct as Magistrates, we cordially join in the protest of the Custos and Magistrates of Trelawney, against the inquisition of any Court of Commission unrecognized by the law of the island, and proceeding upon the letters of individuals not on oath. We direct the attention of our readers to some particulars connected with the inquest held on the bodies of the rioters at Rochdale, inserted in our columns of to-day, in the full and perfect conviction that they will not fail to do justice to the gentle manly and tolerant bearing of the Coroner who presided on that occasion. We beg to refer our readers to a letter in our columns, signed " Spectator," which we have ex tracted from a Morning Contemporary. We quite agree with the writer that the mistake we made, was not largely reducing the debt at the close of the war in 1815. 'While this debt remains at its present enormous magnitude, it paralyses our industry, acting as a dead weight upon national as well as in dividual enterprise, and affects us in every relation of SHIPPING INTELI.I(iENCE-(THIS DA FROM LLOYD'S.

Admiralty-house, Cove of Cork, May 7, 1829. The KING, since his arrival at St. James's Palace, has been living in a very quiet and retired man ner, without any additional dinner party beyond the usual cortege of the Court. In the domestic circle it is stated that his MAJESTY begins to be weary of the seclusion to which lie is subject, and the comparatively inconvenient and confined space of his apartments at St. James's, and that he anxious to return to Windsor. Nothing has yet been definitively arranged in regard to the balls and din ners usually given by his MAJESTY at this season of the year. By the KING'S commands, the landscape painted by CLAUDE, purchased for his MAJESTY at CHRISTIE'S Rooms on Saturday, was taken to him at the Palace three days before the sale. A considerable number of Peers and their Ladies, with other branches of the Nobility, were ad mitted yesterday to a private view of the Paintings in the Exhibition at Somerset House. The accomplished Pre sident of the Royal Academy was the Cicerone on the occat ion, and he was most eloquent in his praises of vat i ous pictures, especially those of WILKIE, and the extraor dinary landscape by CaLcore. . Sir Tnotra s communi cated to his noble aud i e n ce t he fact of his MAJESTY'S hav ing purchased the fine landsca pe by C Launa, and the Trustees of the Institution the paintings by Sir JOSHUA RaYNOLDS piid GAlNsnonouan, in Lord GWYDIR'S Sale at CHRISTIE'S on Saturday. The unfortunate result of periods of specula tion is no where more apparent than in our ports. The quantity d cotton and other goods purchased within a few weeks, is so great as to suffice for several months' . con sumption • There is a great temporary demand for means of transport, and great profits are made by the owners of ships. New ships are of course built, and the trade is overdone. A few years ago, during the adventurous parox y s ms, from 18 to 20 smacks found perfect employ ment between this and Liverpool, besides occasionally other vessels. At present, the whole trade is now managed by three or four smacks, and about the same number of steamers. Eight fine vessels formetly trading to the Mer sey, now grace the south side of the Broomielaw, in a dis mantled state.— Glasgow Chronicle. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. MINT , .-2ePHAIL V. GLENNIE. The appellant in this case had entered into a contract with the trustees on the turnpike-road from New Pits Ego to the town of Banff, to make and finish part of that road. He afterwards entered into a.treaty with a person of the name of Cooper, to underlet part of that contract to him. Cooper afterwards became bankrupt. The respon dent, who had been employed by Cooper, made a claim against his estate for wages, but finding the assets of Cooper were not likely to be sufficient to meet his demand, he was advised to make claim against the appellant, with whom Cooper had contracted. This claim being rejected, he raised an action before the Court of Sessions, arrested all sums of money that were due to the appellant, from the trustees of the Pitsligo roads, contending that INl‘Phail, having entered into the original contract, was bound to pay him his wages, in care Cooper, who had only acted as his servant, was unable. Upon the case coming before the Court of Sessions, they considered the appellant liable, and decreed accordingly. From this judgment he appealed. The Loan CHANCELLOR, in giving judgment this morning, observed that though the sum in dispute was only about 401., and the case of such a nature as ought never to have found its way into the House of Lords, yet the matter having come before their Lordships it was their duty t* decide it to the best of their abilities. His Lord ship was quite satisfied upon the evidence that such treaty as was contended for had been entered into with Cooper, and though the contract with respect to all his terms did not appear to have been settled till after the road was com pleted, yet there was enough to satisfy his Lordship's mind that Cooper in working on this road did nut work as the servant of M‘Phail, but under the treaty that had been entered into. This, however, did not appear to his Lord ship to decide the question. If a party represented another to the world as his agent, as had been the case here notoriously, if he did so, either in terms, or so conducted himself as to lead parties to suppose that he was so, I.e rendered him self liable for any debts that party might contract as that agent. Upon the whole, his Lordship was clearly of opi nion that the judgment of the Court below was perfectly right, and ordered its affirmati.m. With respect to the costs, one of the parties being a pauper, and the other by no means in affluent cireumstancss, his Lordship would make no order.

The CHIRP BARON sat in Equity this morning, and was occupied up to the time our Reporter left in arguments on a Tithe Cause. DREADFUL AND DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. This morning, about half-past three o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of Mr. J. Carlisle, bookseller, the corner of Bell-yard, Fleet-street, and two doors from Temple bar, which has unfortunately proved more destructive in its consequences than any fire for some time past. About the time mentioned above, a watchman, whose beat is on the opposite side of the way, perceived the shop of Mr. Carlisle on fire, and on the alarm being given, and the shutters broken open, the flames burst forth with great force, almost instantly enveloping the whole of the lower part of the premises in one body of fire. On Mr. C. being aroused to a sense of his danger, he found the flames had gained such an alarming ascendancy as to render an escape down stairs impracticable, and he proceeded to the first floor back window, and jumped out, but unfortunately breaking a leg in the descent, he was conveyed to the Hospital. The servant also appeared at one of the win dows, in a state of great mental agony, and was only prevented from precipitating herself into the street by the entreaties of those who had assembled, who ultimately rescued her from the impending danger, and carried her in safety to the watch-house. Fears were entertained that some of the family of Mr. C. had perished ; but from the inquiries we made on the spot we were given to understand that the remainder of the family were out of town. The Alliance Fire-engine was prompt in attendance, followed by the Norwich Union, Palladium, &c. ; but notwith standing they were speedily brought into action, the Fleet street entrance of the Sun tavern, the extensive four ' story house of Mr. Harper, working goldsmith, with the premises in the rear, were, in less than one hour, included in one devastating conflagration. Ail the exertions of tke firemen were for some time of no avail, and the flames continued to extend its ravages until the entire of the Sun tavern and two exten sive houses in Shire-lane, also belonging to Mrs. Perry, proprietress of the tavern, had become enveloped in flames, and the destruction of the row of houses on either side of Shire-lane from their extreme density, and even that venerable building Temple Bar, appeared inevitable. The scene of confusion and terror which prevailed among the unfortunate creatures in that sink of wretchedness Shire lane, when the flames had reached a most awful and alarm- ing height, in beyond description. Upwards of twenty engines had by this time arrived, and the Old London Union by great exertion having been brought to play down the lane, and immediately in the rear of the burning buildings, the flames were prevented from extending fur ther than two houses up Shire-lane. Several of the Pal- ladium, Norwich Union . , and other firemen, succeeded in getting the hose of the engine on the top of Temple Bar and the house on the west side, and by that means were enabled to throw a considerable quantity of water into the body of the fire. About half-past six the flames were so far subdued as to leave no fear of their farther extension. At seven o'clock the high walls of Mr. Harper's house fell into the street with a dreadful crash, completely burying the Star publishing-office, at the west corner of Temple-bar, and entirely blocking up the door of the banking-house opposite. As soon as the dense clouds of dust had cleared off, about fifty hands were actively em ployed in clearing away the rubbish, fears being entertained that some lives were lust, but after a strict search no per son was found. The houses totally destroyed are Mr. Carlisle's, Mr. Harper's, the Sun tavern, and two others i n Shire-lane; and Mr. Ustonston, fishing-rod-maker, Mr. Mason, in Bell.yard, and two or three houses in Shire lane greatly damaged. Scarcely any property was saved, a nd the loss amounts to several thousand pounds. The Sun Tavern, the most extensive premises of those destroyed, had a passage from,Fleet-street between Mr. Harper's and Mr. Carlisle's, leading to a paved or fore court, surrounded by the dwelling-house, which was entirely fitted up for the reception of casual visitors.— Citizens of opulence and their domestics here found aecom //l odation according to tke style assumed, and this brothel was so well conducted, that it vied for fame with the noted Key, and had many friends among the Middlesex Magis tracy. It was admitted by the Bench to be so well con ducted, that any law which would punish the principal, would reach the, proprietors of any hotel in London, how ever unexceptionabl e . Th e b ac k en t rance t o this house in Shire-lane, invited, by its obscurity, the timid volup tuary, as well as the more hardened who sought se curity in deeds that would not bear the light, and Mr. Harper and Mr, Carlisle bad in vain endeavoured to abate MANCHESI ER CORN MARKET—May 9. During the week the bakers have been daily in the market for Flour, with very little demand for any other article. We had a very slender attendance or country millers or dealers at market to.day. The present supplies of Wheat are nearly confined to Irish, the finest description of which was held at a trifling ad vance ; the sales made have been exceedingly limited. Grinding Barley is in request, and Oats are tolerably free sale at the ad vance noted last week. Boiling Pease are only saleable for pro. vender. Good dry Beans are the turn dearer. The demand for Malt is exceedingly limited. Fine fresh-made Flour is 6d. to ls, per sack dearer. Oatmeal as last noted. Customary Bushel. Wheat (701 b.) 5. d. to s. d.

As " one drop of water seeks its fellow," to kindred spirits sheltered themselves under the emblems of this house, and the Moon, Antigallican, and many other houses bad their doors open all night to catch the overflow ings of the Sun, which rendered Shire-lane a scene of such glaring immorality, that all who passed through it became subject to suspicion of haviag participated in its orgies. The uncontaminated neighbours associated to suppress these houses of ill-fame. The Magistrates deciding in favour of the well-conducted colossal tavern, it was found to be a species of persecutiou to catch and punish the lesser offenders while the greater waved their banners in triumph, consequently the prosecutions were dropped, and accident bas now effected that which the laws and its ad ministrators in vain attempted. There is frequently in toe occurrences of ordinary life, a remarkable amplifica . tion of moral laws ; and it is curious to observe that ill gotten wealth seldom prospers. A late owner of the Sun was a returned convict from Botany Bay---he amassed a large fortune, and retired to enjoy it into the country, but thepure air killed him in six months; and the owner of three or four of these minor had houses is said to be worth 40 or 50,000/., and inflicts upon himself the punishment of living in an obscure yard in the neighbourhood, be grudging himself the ordinary comforts of life. Chance having thus effected a desirable change, the opportunity it may be hoped will be seized upon by those who super intend metropolitan improvements, to so reconstruct the avenue, that its thoroughfare may become a useful and safe outlet for our overflowing population. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE. There was a short supply of all kinds of English Corn last week except Oats, of which, together with the Irish supply, the quantity was good. Of Foreign Wheat there was a fair arrival, chiefly from Spain. The supply of Flour coastways was consi derable. The finest parcels of Wheat meet a fair sale at Is. to 2.5. per quarter advance on last Monday's prices, but there is not near the business doing to-day that there was on this day se'n. night. Good Barley is 2s. per quarter dearer. Fine Beans are also Is. to 2s. per quarter higher. Pease are unaltered. The de mand for fresh heavy Oats is good, and rather more money is obtained for such, but other qualities meet a slow sale. There is a fair sale for Flour at late prices. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.
