from London to swell the account of same fa- I ' 'voured stationer in town. Whether the bank will " send coals to Newcastle," is not yet determined. lhe folly of the measure .is only . to be equalled by the mischief to which it maygive rise. " Discontent," it has been observed, "is the child of distress, and distress is the daughter of ill-timed experiment." Take away from the Newcastle banks the power of occasionally assist ing manufacturers and others in their business, and the most frightful check may be given to the labouring e mployment of the place. True, says a friend of the branch, if any friend here it has but why should the establishment of a branch lessen the power of the Newcastle banks to ac commodate trade ? I say, for an obvious rea son. The branch bank will be sure to get into circulation a certain amount of its paper—thus displacing an equal amount of the notes of the other banks, and diminishing to the same extent the power of the Newcastle banks to support the 'various undertakings of the district. But this is not all ; for the branch bank not complying with the usual rule of exchanging notes once a week with the other banks, and then paying or receiving any balance by a short dated bill on London, must impose upon the Newcastle banks the necessity of keeping by them, unemployed, a much larger sum in gold or Bank of England notes than would otherwise be required; and then again, from the uncertainty of the channel through which notes may be brought in to them for payment, they must constantly have funds both .here and in London for the liquidation of their notes. Under 'such circumstances the available power of the Newcastle banks may be contracted in a degree much exceeding the pro portion of their paper thrown out of circulation ; and thus the injury which a branch bank may do to the business of the place is almost A friend of mine talking lately with a Bank Director, and telling him of the nconvenience which people in business here app ..hended might result from the institution of a blanch bank, was very gravely assured that "in Neweastle the trading part of the community could have nothing to fear from the measure, for that hap pen what would, they would still have the Scotch banks to fly to for assistance." A most com fortable assurance, truly ! But can any man, not a Bank Director, for a moment suppose that if from the annoyances of the branch bank, our own hankers should be induced to withdraw the whole of their notes from circulation, that almost .a single note of any description would afterwards circulate in the district. And in this case, should we not be forfeiting all the advantages which are admitted to arise from the use of a paper cur rency ? On a principle, as between borrower and lender, of mutual advantage, the notes of the Newcastle banks are continually being put into circulation, and though every note issued by a banker is destined to return to him, and that often very quickly, yet where, as in New castle, a perfect confidence exists that the notes of the various banks may at any time be con verted into gold or Bank of England paper, an amount of notes adequate to all the purposes of trade we may easily suppose will steadily remain in circulation. But would it be possible to sub stitute for such a currency, either the • notes of the Scotch banks, or the notes of a branch bank of the Bank of England? Admitting the cau tious sandy would, upon our own terms, deal with us sov.theraiis,(" ask Where's the north ? at York 'tis on the Tweed") the circumstance of the Scotch notes not being payable in New castle, would operate as an effectual check to their circubtion ; and as to the notes of the branch bank, seeing that the public pan never have any interest in common with that establish, ment, there would be wanting on. the part of the public that great and coltstant impulse to circu lation, without which, every effort of a banker to keep in circulation any considerable Amount of his paper must be utterly unavailing. If, then, our present system of currency is to be abrogated, nothing will be left for us but to re vert to a course of metallic payments, the come quenees of which to the commercial an. 4 .4gTie -cultural interests of this part of the country I leave any man to determine. But the intelligent Directors a the Bank tell us ‘-‘ they eon see no reason to alter their in tention of establishing a branch in Newcastle," They must, then, really wish to put down all paper currency but their own, and they must lie weak enough to suppose, that people here will he so entanwured of their notes its to prefer them to gold ; for upon no .other principle in Newcastle, where there are no means of forcing the notes of the branch bank upon the public except through the payment of a few dividends of stock, • can there be a possibility of such notes ever becoming the general eirez:Wing medium of the place. The Directors, in telling us 04: • they see no reason for altering their intention," ;night have gone a little farther, and told us what it was that first prompted their interference. They very carefully, however, abst4e from giving re g,-ons. With All the badgering that thye Go vernoe underwent at, the last half-yearly Court of ProprieWss, little more could be obtained from hi m , i n justification of the pro4ncial establish ments of the Batik, than that banking was their business, and that they had a right to Make the most of their business; which is about as con elusive as Falstaff's defence of purse taking, Why, Hal, 'tis my vocation, Hal ; 'tic no sin , for a man to labour in his vocation :!" One observation of the Governor is p4rtj.cg. larly deserving of attention. " What he," the Governor, was most desirous of saying was this, that they (the bank) would go only where, their assistance was called for., and where they thought upon due consideration they could be beneficial." Now to such a rule for the guidance of the bank, no person could have objected. But ,has it been attended to as regards the esta blishment of a branch in Newcastle ? kiss such an institution been " called for" by any class of persons here whatever, or even by a single indi vidual of credit and respectability in the place it m ay fearlessly assert that the bank has never been called upon, never advised, by any person (not shadowing to hims e lf employment from the bank) to interfere with the ekostmg banking establishments of this town. For long after the first intimation of the intention of the bank to establish a branch in Newcastle, the thi ng was treated as quite a visionary scheme ---43 A com plete joke, indeed; people felt that in their mo ney transactions they were as well off as they could be, and they supposed that the bank had enough to attend to without troubling themselves with an unpopular and profitless concern at Newcastle. It seems, however now, that the resolution is finally taken to open what the Governor calls "a shop in Newcastle--a shop which will have the singular distinction of being the only one in the town in which the notes of the Newcastle banks are refused in payments. With all deference to the Governor, I look upon a shop conducted on such a principle as an insult-to the town. Adieu, Mr. Editor. I have already trespassed upon your columns at much too great a length, but the importance of the subject must plead my excuse. March 29, 1628. ALFRED. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

FOREIGN INTELLIGINCIL FRENCH ,PAPERS. (Friona the Garotte de Praises, of Thursday.) CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 26.—A Hutti Scherif of the Sultan calls to arms all the population of the environs of the capital and of the Dardanelles. The attention of the Government seems to be directed more to the capital than to the Danube. Yesterday a column of 6,400 Asiatics marched to the forts of the Dardanelles, where a new fort has been built, and fortified with great celerity. It is said that the Seraskier Hussein Pacha will shortly set out for Adrianople, to which place he has been preceded by a great number of regular and irregular troops. The Chief Admiral, Izzet, is gone to the Dar danelles, where the vessels lately equipped have joined the vessels of Tahir Pacha which have return ed from Mitylene. It is doubted whether the plans and projects of the American Officers, for elosing the canal, will be carried into effect. Cazi Mustapha, who had commanded for several years the forts on the Hellespont, has been succeeded in that post by Hafiz Ali, formerly Capitan Pacha, who displays great activity in the preparations for defence. It is reported that a considerable corps of troops will be placed in the Government of Erzerum to oppose the Russian corps which might come from the Asiatic side. The Finnan of the 10th of January, according to which the Armenians have been banished, is not known. Neither their religion, nor their pretended attachment to any foreign interest, is alleged as a reason for the measure, but merely the excessive increase of the people in the capital and the environs. VIENNA, MARCH 24.—A Russian courier, who left St. Petersburgh, March 12, brings the commu nication of the Russian Cabinet; according to which the Emperor of Russia is resolved to put his army in motion and to march against the Porte. The -manner in which this Power has acted latterly, par ticularly in endeavouring to employ its influence to prolong the misunderstanding between Russia and Persia, that in which it not only insulted the Rus sian nation in its Manifesto, but also plainly inti mated that it did not intend to remain faithful to the most solemn engagements, and the right not to execute the Convention at Akermann except according to its own pleasure—a conduct which would endanger the interest, and even the safety, not only of Russia, but also of the people under its pro tection, seemed to have been the principal motives which have induced the Russian Cabinet to make war upon the Porte. Russia makes an essential dif ference on this occasion, between the question which concerns itself exclusively, and that of the interven tion; and though it promises to conform punctually to the Treaty of the 6th July, and protests that it has no views of conquest, it considers a longer in action as incompatible with its honour, and intends to make the affair of Greece subordinate to its own. It is supposed, therefore, to have given to the Con tracting Powers the assurance, that it will remain attached to the intervention only so far as its object shall be the independence of Greece. The Emperor Nicholas intended to leave St. Petersburgh on the 20th April for the army. There was a general illu mination at St. Petersburgh, on account of the peace with Persia.—Gazette of Azigsburgh, MADRID, MARCH 24.—The .Spanish troops, which were going to form the new garrison- of Cadiz, have received orders to halt at Seville, whence it is inferred that the evacuation of that place by the French troops is not so near as was sup posed. _ _ - The news from Portugal varies according to the wishes, the hopes, or the caprice of the authors. The frequent arrival of expresses from Lisbon, seems to show that there are important communica tions between the two Courts. PARIS, APRIL 2.—An engraving, called the Dream of Maria Louisa, was publicly sold to-day in Paris. She is represented asleep, and her son at her feet. Napoleon holds out his hand to her, while an eagle places a crown on the head of her son. We do not know whether the Ministry has permitted the pub lication of this engraving; but if it has not contnnt ted the fault of permitting it, will it commit that of now allowing it (From the Constitutionnel of Wednesday.) PARIS, APRIL 2,—A Circular of the Minister at War directs, that the complement of 44,000 of the class of 1826, should be put en. their registers the Ist of May next. For that purpose new orders will be issued to the young soldiers of that class who had been dismissed to their homes, and who form part of that complement. Our Correspondent from Frank fort states, in his letter dated the 28th March, that the Russians crossed the Pruth on the 18th of the same month. This news, brought to Mr. Roths child, of Frankfort, by a courier from Vienna, has had an unfavourable influence on the Metalliques of Austria, which have declined one-half per cent. Two other couriers from St. Petersburgh have pass ed through Frankfort in great haste—one to Paris, the other to Brussels.

Report speaks favourably of the Quarter's Revenue as compared with that of last year.— The Returns will not be made up till a late hour this night, so that the actual amount cannot be ascertained. We received this morning the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 29th ult. from which we extract the Firman of the 10th January, for the expul sion of the Armenians of Angora from Constan tinople. This document assigns solely as a reason for its severe provisions the increasing number of the Armenians in the Capital and its environs. It even goes farther and says, that they had never had any right to settle in Con stantinople ; that they gradually came from the Provinces to the Capital ; and that lately their too great accumulation gave rise to all manner of disorders. That, above all, there was in the Capital a very great number of Armenians from Angora, priests, money-changers, mechanics, and merchants, and else others who were mere idlers, all of whom would give, in the course of time, by their acts, a dangerous tendency to the spirit of the nation. For these reasons, and not for their religion, are the Armenians to be banished from Constantinople, and twelve days are only allowed for their departure. We have already stated that the ob ject of the SULTAN was to clear the Capital of all useless, or at least of all doubtful characters, whose support in the event of a siege could not be . depended on, and this Firman proves the correctness of our observation, for the SULTAN could not consider himself safe with so many willing agents in the heart of a city besieged by an army of the same, or nearly similar, religious faith : LEGHORN, MARCH. The events in the East have had, from their commence ment, a prejudicial effect on every branch of the commerce of this place. Through the last measures of the Porte, which have led to the suspension of all intercourse with the ports of the South of Russia and the Levant, our trade is at the present moment in a state of almost total stagnation. The merchants are looking forward with great impatience for some favourable influence to put an end to this stagna tion. As we used to import large quantities of corn from Odessa and the ports of the East, this interruption, together with the late permission to import corn into the ports of France, has caused a rapid and consi derable rise in the prices. The Ex-King of Holland, Louis Bonaparte, who has resided for several years at Flo rence, has lately purchased a hotel there, and chosen that city for his permanent abode. CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 25. The following is a copy of the Firman of January 10, 1828, for the expulsion of the Armenians of Angora from the capital. TO THE ARMENIAN PATRIARCH. The Rayas of the Ottoman provinces have from time immemorial been forbidden to leave their own country at their own pleasure, and to choose other places of abode, es specially to come in great numbers to Constantinople and to settle there. The Government not having hitherto paid any particular attention to this subject, it has happened that gradually a great number of subjects came frem the provinces to Constantinople, and settled there, so that their too great accumulation gave rise to all kinds of disorders. That, above all, there is in the capital a very great number of Armenians from Angora, priests, money changers, mechanics, and merchants, and also others, who are mere idlers, must of whom have ant kept within the bounds of decorum, and attended to their own affairs, but have ventured in various acts, incompatible with their si tuation as subjects of the Sublime Porte, and which would ' not have failed to give, in course of time, a dangerous tendency to the spirit of the nation. Now, as on account of their excessive number, the innocent can not be distinguished from the guilty, a firman has been issued for the purpose of preventing any interrup tion of public order and tranquillity, by virtue of which all married and unmarried Armenians from Angora are commanded to leave the capital, with their families and children, within twelve days, and return to their own country. Strict orders have therefore been issued to Ihtissal Agassi (the police), to call together the chiefs of the guilds, and after concerting with you, to make known to them his Highness's will, according to which all mar ried and unmarried Armenians from Angora, living in Constantinople, Galata, Scutari on the Bosphorus, and other places near the capital, are to terminate all their affairs within twelve days after the publication of the order, and after having provided themselves with the necessary passports from the Patriarchate and the Police, to return with their families and children, under the superintendence of special Commissioners, to their own proper country. They are never again to tread the ground of the capital, but to gain a livelihood in their own country by trade and by agriculture. At the same time it shall be signified to them, that merited punishment will be inflicted on all those who shall not have set out on their journey by the end of the appointed time. The names of the persons expelled shall be registered, and deposited in a proper place, and the Ilitissal Agassi shall act with the greatest diligence in executing his Highness's will That you may be acquainted with this will the present finnan is addressed to you, and it is hoped, that you also will endeavour punc tually to execute it." VIENNA, MARCH Q 4. Aletalliques Bank Shares 1032 The French Papers of Wednesday, and the Gazette de France of Thursday's date, bring no fresh news from Russia or Turkey. A Russian Courier, who left St. Petersburgh on the 12th of March, brings an account that the Emperor NICHOLAS intended to put his army in motion, and to march against the Turks, but he does not say when. The EMPEROR himself was to leave the capital on the 20th of this month. The reasons assigned in this article for the intended attack on Turkey are the same as those already published in what was called the Russian Decla ration. We yesterday copied from a Cotemporary the rumour of a new batch of Peers being about to be created. It is a curious fact, that whilst that distinction is becoming so very general in other parts of the country, the Northern districts of Scotland have scarcely a sprinkling of Nobility. The titles of CROW ARTY, SEAFORTH, LOVAT, &c. are either extinct or in abeyance, anti the representative of the ‘, LORDS of the ISLES" is only an Irish Baron. It is impossible, perhaps, to restore the Scots Earldom of Ross, or some of the others which we have mentioned, but the whole difficulty can be easily got over by giving them similar English Peerages; anal without any disparagement to some late creations, we do think they have as good a claim to the Royal favour as many who have been honoured with it. Besides, it is not a private question—Scot tish nationality would be highly gratified by such a measure. If that nation was slow in changing their allegiance to a new line of Princes, they are certainly not behind hand now in loyalty and devotion to the House of Brunswick. London is certainly not blessed with a super abundance of pulpit eloquence, and we regret to hear that there is a chance of an important di minution. In a neighbouring church, we under stand, that a gentleman of eminent piety, talent, and refinement of thought, has been objected to by some of his parishioners, for a weakness of voice, insufficient to drown the rattling of carriages in this most noisy street, and for other defects, which we have not the genius to discover. We do not make these remarks, from any anxiety that the Rev. Gentleman should continue to preach to those whom some red hot pamphleteer on the Catholic Question would please much better, but in the hope that he may not be permitted to leave London. For our own parts, we are too decided admirers of his eloquence and genius to trust ourselves with further comment. The election of a Member to serve ix Parlia ment for the Borough of Sudbury, in Suffolk, in the room of JOHN Wu -Ks, jun. Esq., who has vacated his seat, is fixed for Tuesday the Bth instant. Under the head of Police Intelligence, our readers will perceive the report of an extraor dinary scene which took place yesterday at Lambeth-street. The worthy Magistrate seemed much surprised, and the audience highly amused, at the discovery of the profession followed by the guardian of the night—Mr. WYATT'S own especial watchman. And yet such a fellow, in conjunction with one of the frail inmates of his house, might swear away the life or character of the most upright man in this Metropolis. The ;Magistrates would forthwith commit any one presuming to doubt the purity of any branch of the Police. We should like to know how many of our watchmen openly follow this reputable vocation. Extract of a letter received this morning at the North and South American CofFee-house, dated Belize, Feb. 20 : You will be shocked to hear of the murder of the Bri tish Consul at Guatemala, J. 0. Reilly, Esq. Revenge and the desire of plunder seems to have actuated the wretched culprit, a native of the Republic, and house ser vant of the Consul. Mr. Herring had a narrow escape; he slept that night (being the first of his arrival) at the Consul's ; he fortunately heard nothing, as from the con fession of the murderer, since apprehended and executed, it appears that he had two accomplices at Mr. Herring's door, in order to secure him should they hear any thing stirring in his apartments. Mr. Herring gives a lament able picture of the affairs in the interior. The capital was, however, considered secure from invasion. Should it once fall into the hands of the San Salvador party, that event would be fatal bath for the lives and property of the Euro pean Spaniards ; till then both will be comparatively safe, although the latter are frequently and heavily drawn upon by the Federal Government. A few weeks will make a great change, as things cannot remain long as they are. The Directors of the Bank of England having officially stated that they mean to open a Branch Bank, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, notwithstanding the memorial that was recently laid before them, deprecating such a measure, on the part of the commercial interests in that town, it is pretty ob vious—judging from a letter signed ALFRED, which will be found in another part of our Paper this day—that the public feeling in the North is sensitively alive to the mischievous, if not ruin ous effects, likely to arise from the uncalled-for interference of the over-grown establishment in Threadneedle-street, with the banking business in Newcastle. The writer of the letter alluded to, who is evidently a practical man, and gives proof that he understands the subject well, takes a comprehensive view of the many evils (and for midable they are, most assuredly), which threaten the people in that great commercial district, under the assumption that the Bank of England proceeds to open " shop " there. Our readers will no doubt peruse the letter, with all the at tention that so interesting a subject demands. THE ARMY.
