FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres of April 19.) FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, MARCH 31.—Several columns of Russian infantry are marching towards Kalafat, to pass the Danube. Hostilities appear to have already commenced upon the Balkan, and Tchapan (Mott, whose cavalry has passed the win ter near Nicopolis, is gone to reinforce the army of the Grand Vizier at Shumla. The Grand Vizier, on his arrival at Adrianople, immediately took measures to have the fortifications repaired and strengthened. On the other hand, the Russians at Bucharest neglect nothing that can hasten their military opera tions. The new civil Governor shows the greatest activity in the organization of the several branches of the Administration. It is said in the two Principalities, that the Divan, in order to remedy the scarcity of money, desires to issue a paper currency, and solicits for this purpose the permission of the Russian Govern ment. (From the Gazette de France of April 20.) PARIS, APRIL I9.—A correspondent at Vienna writes to us as follows : " For some time past we have heard of the arrival at Constantinople of a great number of English and German officers, with a view to engage in the mili tary service of the Sultan. I have just been informed from an authentic source, that in fact some German officers have asked to be employed in the Turkish army, but that they have been refused by the Sultan. As for the English, not a single one has come to Constantinople to ask to be employed; and at this moment there is not in the Mussulmaa army any officer who is a subject of his Britannic Majesty." SUMMARY OF POLITICS. The Catholic Relief Bill has at length passed both Houses of Parliament, and on Monday last received the Royal assent by commission. This great measure has thus at length passed into a law; it now forms pal t of the British Constitution. This exception to the maxims of general freedom is now therefore done away ; this blemish is effaced, and the Catholic of Ire land is free. Narrow and invidious restrictions no longer impede his course—the gates of pro motion and honour, long shut, are now thrown open to his generous and aspiring ambition—he may now rise to the highest honour, civil as well as military—no clogs obstruct his pro gress upward—he may ascend to his natural level—he may now figure as a free citizen in a free community—he may now contend on equal terms with his Protestant rivals for the prizes Of the political lottery. He has before him an open field and free competition ; he now really participates in the blessings and privileges of the British Constitution, and he has an interest in supporting it : and this is the only security on which we can rely for the stability of our own or any other system of government. No Consti tution which gives freedom and protection to its subjects—which dispenses equal justice to them —which is felt by them as a practical blessing— is in any danger of being overturned; and we always considered the oaths imposed by our laws, either on Catholics or Protestants, as an ex tremely puerile and vain contrivance, and as affording no security whatever. But why should we seek security if we give no provocation ? Who will ever be the enemy of a Constitution from which he derives help and protection? Who will ever be so mad as to squander away such a benefit ? It is only when rulers oppress that they provoke hostility, and require securities against the just vengeance which they draw on themselves. But a free Constitution is its own security ; and to exact an oath from those who are cherished under its protecting wings, that they will not rise up in irrational animosity and destroy it, is just about as wise as if we were to cause the inhabitants of this enlightened country to swear that they will not rise up, and, in some mad fit, pull their own houses, which protect them from the wind and weather, down about their ears. It will be observed, that Lord Eldon, and his select band of Protestant supporters, stood firm to the last ; yet he used no argument —he merely expressed his fears of dreadful con sequences from the measure. New, we would just ask, if there ever was any one measure, which introduced any important change, that was not the subject of equally gloomy forebod ings ? The Union of Scotland with England was reprobated by all the zealous patriots of the day, as the sure prelude to the ruin of the coun try ; and every plan of improvement that has since been proposed, has been regularly de nounced as replete with misery and ruin. It is a well known fact, when it was proposed to erect toll-bars on the roads around Lon don, that an alarm got up, that, by facilitat ing the access of the country to the metro polis, such supplies of produce would pour in from the neighbouring and distant country, as would totally reduce the price, and ruin the pro prietors of the lands near the metropolis, who were in the habit of supplying its wants. Ab surd as we may consider this alarm, a petition on this ground was actually presented to Parliament against the improvement : and we may also re mark, when the trade of Ireland was most justly emancipated from the ruinous shackles under which it had long miserably groaned, that the English merchants, anxious to retain their un just monopoly, were in a state of despair. In what •lively colours did they paint the approach ing ruin of the British trade, by this impolitic admission of Irish competitors ? The Govern ment, however, would not listen to this cry for monopoly ; they gave freedom to the trade of Ireland—and so far from ruining the trade of Britain, it was never so flourishing as after this act of tardy justice was done to Ireland. The truth is, that it is easy for the imagination to conjure up from any measure an array of pos sible calamities—it is easy, on very slender data, to construct a hypothesis of evil ; but it would be just as easy to raise an opposite hypothesis. In short, when we let loose our imagination'on futurity, into what absurd chimeras may we not run—once throw off the chains that bind us to what is reasonable, and we run wild into the boundless regions of folly and delusion. There is no process of common sense, in strict reason ing, by which we can deduce danger from the present measure ; but from various sure data we may reasonably deduce certain good. The good, in short, is great, certain, and immediate—the evil distant, contingent, and visionary ; and, with this consolatory belief; we take our final leave of this much agitated question. In the Committee upon the Bill now in Par liament, for making the approaches to the New London Bridge, a strong otapsition has been made on the part of some of the inhabitants of Fish-street-hill. The Corpora tion feel their dignity greatly moved by the conduct of one of the Aldermen, who readily undertook to plead the causa of the opponents of the Bill before the Committee, not withstanding his rank in that body. NOTTINGHIAM.—Wt, are happy to say that no lives have been lost by the fall of the rock at Notting ham. A considerable portion still remains in jeopardy, and some of the buildings on the edge of the cliff are being Filled down. The fall was not more than 150 feet from the foundation of St. Mary's Church. FROM THE:GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. Lord Chamberlain's-office, April 18, 1829.

STATE OF TRADE.—•--There have been a large number of London and country buyers in the mar ket this week, and very considerable business has been done. Of course, trade is still by no means in a satisfac tory state. Many people continue to complain, no doubt with justice, very much. On the other hand, there are others who assert that the reports of the state of trade, which have lately appeared in most of the papers, have been unwarrantably gloomy ; and that for as much as six weeks past there has' been a large business doing, espe cially for the country trade. Within that time some of the,Lon , lon houses have been in the market three or four times. The stocks of goods, we believe, are generally far from being heavy. With our great facilities of production, however, we do not expect any advance in prices. The calico-printers are somewhat busier than they were. Mule yarns are dull; but water twist continues in good de mand.—Manchester Mercury. A miserly bachelor schoolmaster (lied a short time since at Exeter, who had worn the same coat 20 years, and had himself darned his worsted stockings so many times, that no remains of the original colour were perceptible. After his interment his poor relatives sent for a gentleman to look over his scraps of paper, and on the tester of the bed were found, wrapped up in pieces of worsted rags or . old stockings, sixteen hundred pounds in interest notes from different Exeter banks, of 2i per cent., commencing 35 years since, the interest of none of which had been applied for ; the compoynd interest of the whole would have been 4,0001. A dread of being required to assist his relatives appears to have been his motives for withholding the secret of his wealth. LATE MAYOR OF LIVERPOOL. PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO THE The subscription which was set on foot for the purpose of complimenting the late Worthy Chief Magistrate of that extensive and spirited town is closed; the amount having exceeded 600 guineas, and the number of subscribers being 426. The large subscription, for the above-mentioned object, was all written down and the total amount lodged in the bank of Messrs - . Heywoods in the short period of two months from its being first started ; and a very elegant service of plate, consisting of the following articles, was ordered by the Committee of Management : Two large circular soup tureens and covers, richly chased, with flowers, &c., in•compartments, with rich ap propriate handles. Two twenty-five-inch round waiters, with scroll and flower edges ; the bottoms chased in compartments, to cor respond with the tureens. Two venison dishes, with bold shell and gadroon borders, with hot-water dishes. Two meat dishes to correspond. The arms of Mr. Porter are handsoniely engraved on one side of each article, and on the reverse the following inscription : PRICES OF FOREIGN FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

BY HIS PELLOW,TOWNSMEN, IN TESTIMONY OF THEIR ESTEEM, AND AS A MEMORIAL OF THE ASSIDUITY, DIGNITY, AND HOSPITALITY WITH WHICH HE DISCHARGED THE DUTIES OP CHIEF MAGISTRATE OF CBE BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL, 1801 The trays and soup tureens are exceedingly handsome pieces of plate. The scroll in the former is so broad as to have only room in the centre for the arms and inscrip tion. The richness of the work is very admirable. The soup tureens are also most splendid specimens. The tops of the covers are small melons, resting on their stalk and foliage, in bright chasing, extremely beautiful. The two dishes for the top and bottom of the table are exceedingly , massive, the exterior wrought in fancy pattern, richly re lieved. The larger pieces are, we believe, of the weight of 200 ounces each. The whole will make a display such as is not often seen on a private table. This splendid testimonial of the estimation in which private virtue is held in society, was perfected by its pre sentation to the worthy Alderman T. C. Porter, Esq., in the presence of his assembled family and numerous relatives, on Thursday last, when Mr. Alderman Wright, Messrs. the Ex-Bailiffs Bold and Thompson, Mr. George Brawn, sen., Mr. Richard Radcliffe, Secretary to the Committee, and Mr. Robert Russell, Treasurer to the Fund, the gentlemen deputed to carry into effect this inte resting ceremony proceeded to Mr. Porter's house, St. Anne-street, at about one o'clock. Mr. Alderman Wright (the Chairman of the Committee) addressed his worthy compeer as follows: Sir—We, the gentlemen now present, are deputed by a great body of our fellow-townsmen to present to you this service of plate, as a mark of their sincere esteem, and as a memorial of the distinguished manner in which you filled the office of Chief Magistrate of this ancient and loyal borough. In performing the duty delegated to us, permit us (in the name of the whole of the sub scribers) to hope it will be received by you with the same feelings of gratification that we now enjoy in the presen tation, and we trust when in af►er times your descendants shall read the inscription engraved on these pieces it will excite in their hearts the desire to emulate those virtues which raised their progenitor to that distinguished station which he so filled as to call forth this public mark of re spect. We have now, Sir, only to express our warmest wishes that you may long live to enjoy what you have so deservedly gained—the sincere regard and affection of your friends and fellow-townsmen. Mr. Porter, whose feelings were very visibly affected, returned the following reply : Gentlemen,—l am quite unable adequately to express my feelings on receiving from your hands this splendid memoriatof the kindness and partiality of my fellow-towns men. It would, Gentlemen, be uncandid, were I not to admit that I receive a degree of satisfaction in accepting this beautiful tribute, which no language of mine can con vey ; I must, therefore, hope and trust that a sincere wish faithfully to discharge the future duties of life may be ac cepted by you as the best thanks which my grateful heart can suggest. _ _ I have only now, Gentlemen, the pleasing office to per- form of tendering to the Committee, and to the Subscribers generally, my warmest acknowledgments; and I trust that when the period shall arrive for my removal hence, that those to whom these pieces shall descend will prize, appre ciate, and value, as it deserves, this too partial testimonial of your indulgent regard . After which the deputation were invited to partake of the refreshments which had been prepared for them and other visitors; and having enjoyed themselves for a short time, they took leave, much gratified in having been dele gated by the subscribers at large, to the pleasing office of representing them in the fulfillment of this eminent and deserved expression of public approbation. When it is explained that the individual subscription to this merited testimonial was limited to Two Guineas, no stronger proof need be adduced to the estimation in which Mr. Porter is held, than that the list of subscribers con sists of all shades in politics in Liverpool, parties being entirely out of the question ; and on that list are to be found (as free Burgesses of Liverpool) the names of the Right Hon. Robert Peel, the Right Hon. William Hus kisson, and Lieutenant-General Gascoyne. Sir GEORGE MURRAY has left town for the holydap. Our excellent and gallant fellow-citizen, Cap tain ForraELL, is, we are told, to be the first Catholic freeman under the new Act. He had, we understand, a pledge to this effect from Alderman KING and Alderman DARLEY, at the last election contest for Dublin. It is said that he has taken occasion to remind these gentlemen of the pledge, and that they have avowed, with the greatest alacrity, their recollection of it, and their deter mination to give it all the effect in their power.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. A MARRIAGE JAUNT.—At Tranent Manse, on the 7th inst., by the Rev. Dr. BEAN RITCHIE, GEORGE CHISHOLM HAY, EN., to Miss REBECCA PARLANE. Immediately after the happy couple set off on a marriage jaunt for Calcutta.--Scotsman. LORD NORBURY'S LAST.—His Lordship, on being informed, yesterday, that it was intended by the Friends of Civil and Religious Liberty to erect a statue in Dublin to the Duke of WELLINGTON, said, " All fair—the Duke will get a statue for a statute." —Dublinliforn. Reg. HUMBOLDT calculates that one acre of ground planted with the banana is sufficient to support 50 men, while an acre of wheat, communibus annis, would barely supply the wants of three. THE WEATHER.--It is agreed that this is the most backward spring ever known within the memory of man. At first the agricultural correspondents of the liberal Journals were inclined to believe that the season merely held back till it should see the Catholic question satisfactorily settled; but now it is ruled, with some show of plausibility by the opposite faction, that the sun of Eng land, if it has not set for ever, as threatened by Lord ELDON, at least sits, as his Lordship used to sit in the Court of Chancery, without doing any business, and scru pulously avoiding all summary proceedings. Since the termination of Protestant ascendancy was determined, in deed, the sun has become little better than a moon, and the heavens have unceasingly wept the calamity. On Tuesday, too, it sighed a perfect hurricane, on the occa sion of the royal assent. A variety of judgments may be expected, and will be duly prognosticated in Mr. liivrNa's next sermon. The earthquake in Spain was intended for this country, but took place where it did in consequence of some mistake.—Examiner. - A CURIOUS RECEIPT FOR THE BILE.- A few days since an elderly gentleman of Bath, suffering under a severe bilious attack, sent his st rvant for a box of Anti-bilious Pills, to an apothecary celebrated for preparing a medicine of that kind. On the servant's retura be swal lowed two, as he had ben accustomed to them, without noticing the directions on the top of the box. Imagine then his consternation and horror, a few minutes after wards, on placing the cover on the box, to see writ ten on it, " Anti- catholic Pills." The first idea that occurred to him was that he was poisoned. Ring ing the bell, in a paroxysm of despair, he exclaimed, " I am poisoned ! I ant poisoned ! send f or th e v illian of an apothecary !" No lime was lost in procuring his attendance. The fatal pill-box was shown him, and a shower of reproaches poured upon him for his perfidy, &c., when the unfortunate apothecary begged the gentle man for heaven's sake to compose himself, as it was a sim ple mistake of his that would in no way affect his life or health. He then stated that a very strenuous advocate for the Catholic claims was in the shop at the moment of the servant's arrival for the pills, arguing with him the merits of the Bill now in progress, and he (the apothecary) having avowed himself hostile to the mei.sure, and getting warm in the argument, he must have written Anti-Catholic in , stead of Anti-Bilious. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 22, 1829. The French Journals state that hostilities to all appearance have already commenced on the Balkan, and that several columns of Russian infantry are marching towards Kalafat, to pass the Danube. Their remaining contents are without the slightest interest or importance. Letters have been received, via Mauritius, from Sydney, New South Wales, of the 27th of October; the Colony had suffered much from want of rain. These communications contain a repetition of the former complaints of the markets continuing ruinous. The Marquis of Hastings, Capt. DRAKE, had arrived, after a fine and quick voyage, on the 12th of October, from London. We are glad to perceive that the inhabitants of Liverpool have presented a public testimonial of their gratitude co T. C. PORTER, Esq. a gentleman whose late Mayoralty was eminently distinguished by good sense and liberality, and acquired for him the unanimous good opinion of his fellow townsmen. This is the proudest and most gratifying mark of respect which a public man can receive—because it is the most honour able which a grateful community can bestow. The United States Telegraph of the 20th inst. contains an official copy of the treaty of Commerce and Peace between the United States and Brazil, as ratified on the 18th by General JACKSON. This differs in very few particulars from our treaty with the Republic of Colombia, and is, indeed, almost a literal _copy of that instrument. Within thirty-six hours after the news of the late murders and piracies had reached the De partment of State, peremptory orders were sent for the Natches (S.W.) to sail in twenty-four hours, with instructions to the Commander of the squadron to scour the West Indian seas, and to visit any port which could afford the mur derers shelter. The Frankfort Papers, in an article, dated " the Frontiers of Servia, April 2," speak of the extraordinary zeal of the Mussulmans, as re gards the approaching campaign. Old and young, it seems, take up arms indiscriminately ; and strongly acted on by the Ulemas, " demand of the authorities to be led in a body against the enemy." This spirit, strengthened and regulated by discipline, judgment, and experience, may do much towards restoring the doubtful fortunes of Turkey ; but, unassisted by such aids, it will only serve to hasten on the crisis. All that the Turks want the Russians possess, viz. discipline, strict efficient military discipline, without which the greatest enthusiasm is the mere shallow va youring of impotence. The following are extracts :L.- FRONTIERS OP SERVIA, APRIL 2. Accounts from Sophia speak of the zeal of the Mussul men its the general arming of the inhabitants, which calls to mind the pericds of the greatest fanaticism. Old and , un o take arms, and the people, excited by the Uletnas, demand of the authorities to be led in a body against the enemy. In Sophia itself some disturbances are said to have taken place, which cost the lives of several Chris tians. In Bosnia, where tranquillity was lately restored, it has been again interrupted in consequence of the bad example set by the Albanians. The troops have refused obedience to the Pacha till they should have received the pa y which was owing to them by the late Vizier ; and they still clamorously demand the payment of these arrears. The Pacha does his utmost to satisfy them, and to main tain Lis authority over the chiefs at Travnik. It is said that many foreign agents had shown themselves in Servia, and it is remarkable that the Turks view the proceedings of the people with composure, though at other times even without any particular inducement they treat suspected.! strangers with great severity, and even put them to death. The critical situation of Servia is probably the cause of this lenity. PRANIEFORT, APRIL 10. We are now in the midst of the fair, which has so far proved more favourable than was apprehended. Of Eng 1142 manufaetetas, of which aim the end of last week large quantities have arrived almost daily, very consi derable sales have already been made, especially of those articles which are in fashion, and among which we must reckon woollen cloth of British manufacture. The prin cipal articles of Saxon and Swiss manufacture have also met with a good sale, as well as the costly and fashionable French articles. In wool, leather, and cloth, little has yet been done, but it is yet too early for these great ar ticles—the leathers never commence till the Easter week. VIENNA, APRIL 10.—Metalliques, 95, 2 i ; Bank Shares, 1,113. EGINA, FEB. 17. Admiral Heyden has given notice that he will station a line of observation between Boudroun, Alexandria, and Candia, to prevent the sending of troops or provisions to Candia or the Dardanelles from Alexandria. This, in all probability, has given rise to the reports of a blockade.— such does not seem to be well founded. , Mr. ROWLAND STEPHENSON, as will be perceived by our columns of to-day, is brought once again fully before the public. This time, however, he comes fomard in a new light. Having before figured as a peculator and plun derer to a pretty considerable extent, and having, in this two-fold capacity, earned the just indignation of a great class of his Majesty's subjects, he now presents himself before the public, —or, we should rather say, is presented by others—as an object of tenderest commisera tion ; his hair, it seems, is turned grey ; " his spirits arc sunk to the lowest state of despon dency;" " he has become, as if by magic, an aged man ;" in short, " it would move the heart of his most injured victims to see the change which a few months have made in his visage and person." Now we entreat the public not to suffer their feelings to be unduly led away by this pathetic statement, but when they feel inclined to sigh over the fate of this wretched man, to think of the hundreds and hundreds of honest inoffensive people whom his supe rior and wordly craft has ruined—to think of the hearts he has broken—of the hopes he has crushed for ever—of the wide and almost un precedented shock he has given to public credit. We hear nothing of the numerous tradesmen whom this magnificent peculator has driven into the Gazette ; they are suffered to linger on un pitied and desolate, themselves perhaps without hope, their families without a meal ; why then should we be deluged with details—as no doubt we shall be by every vessel that arrives' from America—of a man whose sufferings have been caused by himself alone ; who, blest with affluence —connection—respectability moulded these rare advantages to the promotion of systematic roguery ; whose experience, dor mant only when required to benefit society, was zealous to plunder and disorder it ; and who finally set out on his career as a swindler, not when the passion or heedlessness of youth was strong upon him, but at an age when judgment was matured, temper subdued, and worldly craft supreme ? In the name of Justice—of that awful name which must not descend from her high elevation to embrace, when she should de nounce a criminal—we protest against this maud lin sympathy. It is false in taste, bad in prin ciple, and dangerous as a precedent. We offer these observations with no view to whet public indignation. We are even pro foundly affected by the " miserable condition" of the Ex-member for Leominster; but we can not—we must not, sacrifice to this compasssion the recollection of his flagrant enormities. We must not forget the criminal in the sufferer, the hundreds ruined and heart-broken, in the one who has wrought this mischief, but steeling our hearts to all but a sense of right, call upon Justice sternly to do her work. Another motive that urges us to these remarks, is that of late years, by some means or other, the public mind has been perverted and emasculated. Every scoundrel (provided his villainy was suffi ciently grand to catch a nation's eye) has in turn been the object of compassion. Even THUR.. TELL has had hearts to weep for him—FAUNT.. LEROY has by some been held up as a martyr — and BURKE, the arch-fiend BURKE himself, found Papers silly, tasteless, and mischievous enough to condemn the mob for that awful moral lesson which their feelings wrung from them at the scaffold. Against this sickly feeling we have always protested, and shall always con tinue so to do, under the conviction that every individual—no matter how humble or insignifi cant he may be—is -bound to the best of his abilities, to strengthen not weaken, to improve not pervert, the public mind.
