MORNING SUN SYRIA. TRANSLATION OF TH GR AND VIZIER'S LETTER TO HADII EDHIN BEY, DEFIERDAR (AC-. COUN PANT-UENERAL) OE ACRE. It has been stated in a note presented to the Reis Effendi by his Excellemy the British A nba - isador,LordPonsonby, that the promises Ira le by the Sublime Porte to recom pense certain fruitful subjects amongst the Syrians, who rendered useful services ; and to indemnify the pro prietors of the mulberry trees that were cut down to form an entrenched camp at I)jouni, have not been ful filled ; and that upon intemgation upon this point, your Excellency replied, that you had received no in structions to that effect. _ _ _ Now, you know that a list of the persons to be indem nified was placed in your hg l ads ; that, at the moment you were about to quit this` place, and at a Council of Ministers whereat you assisted, you were most strongly recommended to distribute their recompenses in con formity with the list remitted to you—to pay the value of the trees in question—to make inquiries into the nature of the taxes--and to take care, that the country should be administered according to wise and equitable principles. Consequently, we all expected that you, being an en lightened servant of the Sublime Porte, endowed with prudence and sagacity, and knowing the delicacy of ex isting circumstances, would not only take every care to arrange all these matters, but that, stimulated by your natural zeal, you would render greater services to the Government than any other functionary in that part of the empire. We have, therefore, great grounds for astonishment upon hearing that you pretend not to have received in structions relative to these matters, and that you neglect toiwrite to us, whilst the different Foreign Embassies constantly receive letters from Beyrout. It results from this, that we are unable to return satisfactory answers to the representations made to us upon points to which the Sublime Porte attaches the most lively interest. It has become necessary, therefore, that we should issue new orders to you on this subjeCt ; tra s flitting to you at the same time a copy of the note of his Excellency the Bri tish Ambassadri, in order that you may be made ac quainted with the facts alluded t.. It is highly important that these indemnities should be made without the least delay, and the dignity of the Sublime Porte requires that the nichau,* the gratifica tions in money, and other kinds of recompenses, should be distributed as soon as possible. Consequently, we have ordered the two nichau to be completed, and we shall send them to you, in order that you may confer them upou the persons entitled to receive them. You will distribute the gratiications according to the list of persons already - made out. Yott will pay the value of the trees, of which mention has hem ziready made, and you will do all that is requisite, in order than these mat ters and all others recommended to your notice, may he arranged ; and you will inform us, without loss of time; of all that . you have done: As regal ds the taxes, the Druscs demand exemption for three • ears, but they hhve already been exempted . from the ferule tax, and Other Vexatious contributions. It appears only, as far as .sre 'can ascertain, that his Ex cellency- Selini Paclia, formerly. Mouchir (General-in, Chief) of 'Saida, spoke to the inhabitants of one or two villages, siiitated in the neighbourhood of Beyrout, rela tive to Scare concessions that his Highness the Sublime Porte might, make to them. Examine this matter and write to us upon the subject. • 'And as in the case that you, or any other public authorities, should act in a dilatory mann affairs would be complicated More and more; it is requisite that you should 'constantly make Us acquainted with all that is passing,'"in Order that you may recei :e new instructions; if 'necessary, upon every I int. . . . . The Perik Wentenant-Generalj of JeruSalem, his Excellency Tayar Paclia, who is on the eve of departing for his Ceistination4 is charged with communicating to you the nceersary orders relative to all the affairs above mentioned. In short, you will devote your whole atten tion to the oTangement of these affairs. You will write to us cons.ntly upon all that passes, and you will s'e that the councy is well governed. You must never f, bet fur a moment that you must exert your utmost solicitude to ensure t 6 the people the enjoyment of that pr which it is tlle desire of the Sublime Porte shonld tic their portion. Y 6 ,1 will avoid everything that may intert;.re with their repos,i. or give rise to popular discontent.

AN OSSIFIED MAN.—In the Museum at Dub lin there is a skeleton of one Clarke, a native of the City of Cork, whom they called the ossified man, one of the greatest curiosities of nature. It is the •arcase of a man, entirely ossified in his life-time, living in that condition several years. Those that knew him before this sur prising alteratio n , affirm he had been a young man of great strength and agility. He felt the first symptoms of this surprising chang e some time after he had lain all night in the fields, after a debauch, till, by slow degrees, every part grew into a bony substance, excepting his skin, eyes,- and intestine s ; his joints settled in such a manner, that no ligament had its proper operation ; he could not lay down or rise up without assistance. His teeth were joined, and formed into one entire bone ; his tongue lost its use, and his s i g h t f a il e d hi m so me time before he expired. PENSIONS TO DR. ANSTER AND MR.

NAPIER is as untiring- as he is brave. Scarcely elected for Marylebone, he made a sensible speech in Parliament; Sir R. PEEL is scarcely in o ffi ce, and the vigilant o ffi cer addresses a letter to him (published by RIDGWAY) on the subject of the navy. After pointing out with great force many of the evil effects of the present plan of making the•navy an engine to promote party purposes, which has gone far to degrade that service into a means of pensioning the younger sons of the aristocracy, the Gallant Officer gives the following sketch of the plan which he proposes for governing the navy. Our quotation is perhaps long, but we cannot in jus tice to Sir CHARLES NAPIER abate one word of it. lam of opinion that the navy should be ruled by a naval officer, not a Cabinet Minister, with the title of Admiral of Great Britain (that of Lord High Admiral being perhaps too high for any person under royalty). The whole of the patronage and responsibility should be vested in him. He should be assisted by two flag offi cers, with the title of Vice and Rear-Admiral of Great Britain (doing away the two sinecures of that name), a flag officer or a captain with the title of Captain of the Fleet, a civilian, and two secretaries, one a naval officer, and the other a civilian. " The Vice-Admiral should superintend the dock-vard departments ; th e R ear -Ad m i ra l t h e victualling and-me dical branch ; and the civilian the Accountant-Gene ral's department. All correspondence with either of these departments should go direct to them, and they should give their orders to the Surveyor, Store-keeper General, Physician of the Fleet, and Comptroller of Victualling. The Admiral of Great Britain would, of course, con sult with them when he thought it necessary, and give what directions he thought proper. But his attention► would be particularly directed to the stationing of ships, the pm motion and appointment of officers, in which he would be assisted by the Captain of the Fleet and his naval secretary. _ _ " The civil secretary should attend to the political part of the business, which should only be known to the Admiral and himself ; whereas, at present, there are many transactions that ought to be secret, with which the whole Board are acquair ted, and, in addition to them, perhaps, one-half of the clerks of the Admiralty. " The inspections at the different ports should be made by the Admiral, the Vice or Rear-Admiral ; they should hoist their flags, and examine minutely into their departmentss, and most particularly into the discipline of the ships, which r.ever can be properly done by a Board in plain clothes, with a secretary tacked to their tail, running hastily through the departments in the manner they have hitherto done. "I remember perfectly well the impulse that was given to the service when the late king was Lord High Ad miral. He might, perhaps, have done too much, and might not have been prudent in his communications with the Government; but no apprehension could be enter tained of any difficulties between the Ministry and an Admiral who could be removed at pleasure, but who ought most certainly not to be removed with every change of Ministry. At present, not only the first Lora, but all the Board, are political partisans ; and just as they begin to know their business, they are replaced by a fresh set, who have their lessons to learn, and inva riably entertain different notions from their predecessors. Hence arise the constant changes that take place, ruinous to the discipline and:the well-being of the service, and expensive to the country. •" It may be thought great presumption in so humble an individual as myself, waking suggestions to a Prime Minister about to form his Administration ; but I do it from a conviction that, if things are allowed to continue in their present state, a great catastrophe will befal thi; country. _ " You, Sir, are placed in a position supported by a very large majority ; you may almost do what you please, and I venture to say, if you adopt the suggestions 1 have proposed, you will give satisfaction to the country, and to the Navy. They are a powerful body, almost all on the Conservative side, and their opicions ought not to be disregarded. I know, Sir, a Minister may hesitate to adopt my views, fearing to lose the patronage of the navy ' • he may also have difficultie s w ith hi s po li t i ca l friends, who aspire to the place of the tirstLord of the Ad miralty ; but, Sir, Mr. Canning broke through all these difficulties, and I see no reason why-Sir Robert Peel should not follow his example. There is no difficulty, sir, in choosing the man ;* the whole service could lay their, finger on .him ; he is one of your own politics, and no one will find fault if you choose them all from the same school. It would cer tainly be better if it was mot so but:l am not .unreason- • We believe the Gallant Commodore points to Sir G. Cock burn. TIIV SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1811. ably enough to expect, on the first experiment, taut yo : : should trust that pi,wer to men of a different political creed from yourself," We are reluctant to offer any opinion on :t question which we perhaps are not competent t( , judge of, but what we have 'of late seen of the management of the army in the case of the Earl of CARDIGAN, compels us to say that the most gross partiality, the most flagrant injustice, the saddest perversion of an arm of national de fence to the gratification of titled arrogance and • malevolence, can be practised as well by a dis 'tinguished officer solely responsible for the ful filment of the duties of Commander-in-Chief, as by a Cabinet Minister, with a Board to shelter him. We do not say that the same would take place under an Admiral, but we have shrewd suspicions that a man bred up as Admirals gene rally are in the exercise of very arbitrary pow ers, might make a most capricious governor of the navy. Though a Cabinet Minister might pervert appointments to political purposes, and fail to reward merit, we are inclined to think that the presence of a civilian at the head of the navy has a beneficial effect in tempering the some what arbitrary dispositions which are created by the kingship conferred on every Captain. We are not very well acquainted with the history of the navy, but we have an impression that the rule of Lord ANsoN, Lord HAWKE, and Lord St. VINCENT was neither very successful nor very agreeable to naval officers. Lord BAR HAM was successful—we know not indeed that he was originally a naval man— but it he were he had been so long in the civil service that he had acquired the habits of a civilian. We re peat, however, that we do not profess ourselves competent to form an opinion on the Gallant Officer's suggestion, and we have no doubt that the whole navy will thank him for making it, and provoking a discussion into the condition of the service. We sball;in conclusion, quote an opinion unfavourable to the present condition Of the Navy, which, we are taught to believe by the Gallant Officer's own achievements is rather the result of the recollections of his youth, when every thing was painted more rose-coloured than what actually exists. .We know for certain that a complaint like that made by . the 'Commodore is at least as old as the time of SMOLLETT and RODERICK R.4.NDOM'. . " In 'gun exercise' we have improved, and so have other nations, but in everything else we have' gone back ; and our ships, from being ill-manned and ill found, are very little snprior to the French. Our su perior officers are . all old, theirs are all young. And Parliamentary influence has not the same weight either in France or America as it has with us. No an who knows anything dbout his profession can view our pre sent position with indifference ; and' when we see a French fleet of twenty sail of the line sailing about the Mediterranea, and EUSsian fleets iu the Baltic and Black Seas, M‘Leod in prison for obeying the order of his Go-• vernment, and the Boundary Question still unsettled, no man can tell how long we may be allowed to remain at peace, and no naval officer who served during the last war, and has served in the peace, can look forward to a struggle .with perfect confidence. Lord Collingwond (and he was no bad authority) complained in his letters of line-of-battle ships not having more than two or three officers who knew their duty. If that was the case in war, how much worse must it be in peace. The generality of the young men of the present day who ob tain promotion through powerful interest, consider them selves quite perfect, and the old officers are broken hearted and disappointed, and almost without the hop of promotion." One of the stock arguments hitherto used by the Bread-taxers is, that if the bread-tax be abolished, the country will be inundated with foreign wheat, the soil will go out of cultivation, the agricultural labourers will be thrown out of employment, and the country will be ruined. But suddenly a new light has broken in on them, and those bread-taxing journals, the rlirald and Standard, have found out, as Mr. J Acon r Ld out long ago, and as every person of common-sense-f long known, without th e it,: - help of statistical sputa-les and Co nsu l ar Reports, for all the l an d C.' tne Contin en t i s already occupi e d, an d muc h t i me 4nd prepara tion are required, before a system of agrictn i Z re can be altered by a foreign demand—the bread taxing journals have suddenly found out that the notion of being inundated by foreign wheat, should the Corn-law be repealed, is a pure in vention of their own, intended to frighten the credulous people into their harsh toils. Hear the Herald itself:— A paper has just been laid before Parliament which throws some light, though of an imperfect description, on this part of the subject. It is entitled " Correspondence relative to the price at which foreign grain could be im ported into England," and contains the replies of the British Consuls of the ports of northern Europe, the Black Sea, the Elbe, and Sicily, to questions from the Foreign-office, intended to make out an Anti-Corn-law case. From these documents the probabilities of a greatly increased production of grain in the countries to which they refer may be reasonably doubted ; and, at all events, that production would be chiefly confined to those countries whence the smallest reciprocity is scarcely to be anticipated. Our contemporary then quotes a considerable number of specimens of the Consular Reports, of which these are examples : Our present supplies of foreign corn are chiefly de rived from Dantzic. The grain exported thence is prin cipally the produce of Poland, and, says our Consul at Dantzic, " The effect a change in the British Corn-laws might produce among the corn-growers of that country would, in some measure, depend upon what way of Government it may in future experience on the part of Russia." " But," adds Mr. Platy, "as regards this part of Prussia, it is considered to be at present in such an advanced state of cultivation, that a larger shipment could not be expected ; at least not to any greater extent than the last three years have supplied." From Konigsberg, the Vice-Consul wri tes,. " The quan tity of corn produced in this part of Prussia, and the adjoining districts, is not likely to be materially increased, as most farmers produce but a certain quantity of grain, which they cannot well exceed, and they have been a good many . ears since acc ustome d to turn and devote their ex ertion more towards breeding sheep, horses, and cattle, which, particularly by producing wool, it appears answers them better than growing corn." From Stettin a reply of the same nature is received : " The production of all kinds of grain and corn has these two or three years been extended to a considerable degree ; it is therefore not expected the landholders can much augment the same, the cultivating of additional soil not being in their system of agriculture." prom Memel we have the like answer :—" The qua lity of the land in this district would for some time prevent the sowing of more wheat than is at present the case." Odessa is, after Dantzic, the next important port whence we receive foreign corn, and the answer of Mr. Consul-General Yeames is very remarkable and decisive as to the increased exports to be derived thence in conse quence of the modification of our Corn-laws. " There would," writes that g m entle in an, "be no ma terial increase, and certa i n l y not a short space of time. Ist. Because in Podolia and Kiev, whence Odessa de rives its principal supplies, the greatest quantity possible of grain is at all times produced without regard to price. 2dly. Because the plains called steppes, adja cent to the Black Sea and Asoph, are thinly peopled, so that in years when crops are abundant they are seen, suffering on the ground for want of reapers. idly. Be cause on these steppes crops are exceedingly precarious, by reason of drought, the common calamity of this climate, &c. From Riga Mr. •Consul Baker says, " There are causes which would probably operate against any very considerable increase of exportation." From Liebau Mr. Consul Keintitz writes—" The quantity of grain could no t b e mater i ally increased " for exportation. Colonel Barnett, from Warsaw, states that "the deficiency of manure, the scarcity of hands, and the want of skill in the cultivation of land, would operate against any large immediate i ncrease f rom the interior of Poland." From Hamburgh, Mr. 'Consul-General Canning, whose services are now lost . to the country, considers the ex portation of corn could not be increased : " Becauge as much land is already appropriated in this district to the growth of corn, as the system of hus bandry established in these duchies and the encourage ment given to grazing in them will admit of." The total quantity of wheat which the ports before mentioned could, with the most favourable harvests, annually export, concludes our Contemporary, is ABOUT TWO MILLION OF QUARTERS. Of course, as our people must still be fed, and no person for one moment supposes that their number will be diminished by abolishing the Corn-laws, the absurdity of supposing that the importation of every grain of wheat the Conti tinent can supply us with would put our land out of cultivation, is palpable ; and when we know that it is made the basis of maintaining a system which starves the people, it is shocking. On the strength, however, of the possible im_ portation of 2,000,000 quarters of wheat, a Lord CosMo RUSSELL has been quoted as an authority for the•nstounding assertion that the abolition of the Corn-laws would throw 2,000;000 acres of land out of cultivation. But the reasoning of the . bread-taxers will appear still more shocking for its absurdity, on account of the cruel purpose it serves, when we stite that in 1840, ',020,214 quarters of foreign wheat, and in 1839,. 2,521,494 quarters, and in 1833, 1,728,452 quarters were imported, being in ilie zhree years an averege of 2,090,063 quarters a year (Parliamentary paper No. 455). It appears, theretbre, that in the three years we have im ported from the Continent all the wheat it could possibly spare, and the resultis that instead of our country being inundated with foreign corn, and the land gone out of cultivation, a greater breadth of wheat, it is said, was sown last year than ever • before, and the price of good bread corn is at the present moment nearer 80s. than 70s. the quarter. Is not that a con clusive proof that all the tales of the bread-tax about land going out of cultivation from an inundation of foreign corn, are pure fabrications, no better th an wilful lies to bolster up a great system of heartless fraud and cruelty. For our part, we . will honestly say that we place no faith. in these returns, so tar as they concern the future produce either of the Con tinent or of England. We hope and believe that with free trade we might import ten mil lion of quarters. No man, however, knows that, and we repeat for the twentieth time that prices at home and abroad, the expense of cultivation in different countries, the possible quantity of food other lands might supply us with, are not proper elements for legislation. It must have a much simpler and firmer basis, or it will be full of error, and error in legislation is iniquity. The Legislature is bound to mete out equal justice and equal protection to all the people; but when it taxes the poor man's loaf to swell the rich man's rent, when the protec tion it pretends to bestow on the grower of bread corn is a prohibition on the consumer to buy his bread where he pleases ; the legislature departs from its duty, it violates the consumer's right of property, it plunders him instead of pre venting him from being plundered, and it in fringes on that liberty of action it is constituted and obliged to secure. On these grounds we condemn the. Corn-law: on these grounds we de n.and a total and immediate repeal, and not merely on the supposition that repealing it would multiply our food, increase our trade, extend the cultivation of our soil, and tend to make the nation prosperous, contented, and moral, though we know that such are invariably the fruits of doing justice, and we are thoroughly convinced that such would be the consequences of imme diately and totally abolishing the Bread-tax. Under a host of similar false pretexts to that which the Herald has so naively exposed, the bread of the industrious and honest poor is taxed to increase the wealth of time idle, opulent; worth less, and eken mischievious owners of rent. If was well observed by Mr. WAKLEY Thursday, that the Co:nmons cheered when the people were starving. That is a tolerably accu rate description of the relation which exists be tween the suffering community and the Legisla ture. That the people are starving in many places does not admit of a doubt; and that the Legislature is proud of its own work is equally certain. That it should exult and be vociferously joyous, and that the people should, under bad laws, pine and die of anguish and hunger, are in the order of nature. They are co-existing facts, which reflect no credit on the sagacity of the people, or on the humanity of the Legislature. On the following day the present Prime Minister spoke—the man who • takes office to continue the system which starves the people. What said he ? He knows the people are starving. Deputations have waited on him to make him acquainted with the great dis tress which prevails. He referred in the debate, to the fact of families dying of hunger, which has been brought before the House. What did his sagacity recommend ? What did his humanity prompt? What may we expect from his power? Taking hold o f some stat i st i ca l returns h e de nionstrated at great length that there had been fluctua. 4 ": i n the price of corn in New York and St. Pet: rs k ur g h. That is the sort of bread with which h e to fill the mouths of the famishing multitude. • ".Good, patient people," he said, if his language meant . q . n Y thing, your sufferings ar e no t a t all caused " 1 -yr any acts " of mine, or by the acts of the gentlemeii tivho cheered wh en the people were starving, and 3V 1 10 will undoubtedly again cheer if I turn round and ask them ; they are caused by a natural defi ciency of food, and by natural fluctuations in its deficiency price, which an d I w fl i u l l c t p u r a o t v i e o n t s o you ae b s o y m s h e t o i Nin n v les g v t e h r a y t great in the United States, and in Russia, where there are no laws preventing the importation of corn. Be patient, therefore, good people. Starve on—starvation is the result of laws of na ture or of GOD. I cannot help you ; therefore starve in patience, starving people." And then to prove to them that th's was fie case, and to bring home to Nature and to Nature's Gou—sgiether with piety or Atheism let the Archbishop of CANTERBURY decide—he quoted the account of fluctuations in prices at St. Petersburgh and New York. Whether the people will continue to starve in patience at his recommendation will probably depend on the credit they bestow on his theology. For our party, we have no hesita tion in saying that fluctuations in price in Ame rica and Russia do ,not furnish the shadow of a proof that the present deficiency of food in Eng land, and its present high price, are natural, and are not wholly...caused by the law made and up ..34tl•by Sir R. PEEL and the exulting cheerers. What is the principle of commerce ? To buy cheap and sell dear—to bring things needful. for man's use from where they are abundant to where they are scarce. What is the result? A compa ratively equal distribution amongst all the chil dren of men of all that they require, and a com parative steadiness of price. The result of mer chants buying when and where commodities are cheap, in order to sell them when and where they are dear, is, though they do not in tend it, to equalize prices through the whole republic of commerce. Whenever and where ever there is no commerce, men are exposed to all the fluctuations and vicissitudes of the sea sons; commerce neutralizes them, and spreads not only average, but great abundance throughout the earth. Hence, as commerce, " the golden girdle of the globe," has extended, those great vicissitudes, to which mankind when isolated were exposed, have become almost unknown, and seasons of absolute famine and of riotous abundance, such as were too frequent in the early ages, have not been witnessed in modern Europe. Where there is now most commerce, therefore, there should be the least fluctuation, and where there is least commerce, fluctuation must be greatest. To wake the fluctuations in Russia and th e United Statesapply to England, it must be show n that the circumstances of all three countries as to commerce are the same. Are they ? Both these countries form parts of great continents, and are comparatively thinly peopled. They in general grow more food than they can consume, and they export corn or flour. In proportion to the number of their people, and the number of our people, their trade, particularly that of Russia, is extremely scanty. England is pre eminent for her commerce. She trades with the whole globe, wherever useful things are found cheap and plentiful, her merchants go or send for them, and carry them wherever they are scarce and dear. Thus Anierica and Russia are no test for England. Thus, too, there ought not to be the same fluctuations in the price of any article, and particularly in an article of such universal produce and consumption aS wheat, in England as in Russia and in America. We may also safely assert that whatever fluctuations in price, are known here, are much increased, if they be not wholly caused, by thoSe restraints which such ignorant law-makers as Sir ROBERT PEEL have imposed on commerce, in order to prevent the continual equalization of prices, by prohibiting men, under certain circumstance's, from buying commodities when and where they are el'mp, and selling them when and where they are dear. Bo t the great man and new Prime Minister who is to feed the hungry people by sermons od fluctu ation, also remarked that it was not possible to ensure the same kind of steadiness of price f>r agricultural as for manufacturing pro, duce. He is a wise man, no doubt, this cotton spinner's son, now Prime Minister, who assumes the government of the country to starve other cotton-spinners; but he might reflect that as agricultural produce is exchanged for manufac turing produce, the stability .3f price in one ele ment of the exchange lessens by a half the chances of fluctuation. Oxen may have the mur rain and wheat the fly, and if they be exchanged for one another, their is a double fluctuation, half of which the certainty of the price of manufac turing produce when exchanged for wheat puts an end to. It should also be considered, that as the pro duce of the manufacturer is subject to none of the variations of the seasons—and he could in a state of perfect freedom send that wherever he pleased to buy wheat--what he purchased would, in reality, be little more subject to fluctuation than the commodity lie purchased with. In other words,with free trade the manufacturer, who can always make an article of a certain price, will always be sure of getting pretty nearly the same quantity of corn for it, or for him price will not fluctuate. Such ought to be the case in England. If this very ignorant cotton-spinner's son, turned national quack, would take these and other similar matters into consideration, he would probably be aware that he had not yet sounded the depths of ail philosophy. He might then become humble, and cease, in the Legislature of the empire—by as 7 cribing the woes of our suffering people to any thing rather than his own wretched and arro gant law-making—to blaspheme Nature and God. The Journal des Debuts of bunclay has a clever article in defence of the Cretan insurgents. Commisseration for the fate of the unhappy Cretans comes too late from such a quarter. The Debuts was one of the Journals in Europe whose synipathy for the Cretans, and sup port of their righteous . cause, was implored by the members of the old Committee of the Philo-Ilellenic Society ; and yet during the period of their struggle for independence, not so much as a single column did that Jontnal devote to their defence before the august tribunal of the Great Powers chosen by the Cretans as, their J'udges. But now that the struggle is over—now that the bravest : leaders of the candiote insurrection • sleep .the sleep.. of . death in bloody. shrouds—now that Turkish lust and • rapine . is satiated —now that the spirit . of Cretan independ ence, affrighted at "the , spectacle of womeh brutally violated, and children, barbarously murdered, abandons in despair the hitherto unconquered range. of the Spha4 ltiote mountains-,-now that Crete subdued . and 'bleed ing lies prostrate in chains at the feet Of Turkey, the Debuts hypocritically approaches to bewail the mis fortunes of a gallant but enslaved people ! As this ar ticle, however, is calculated to benefit a brave people, whose claims The Sun was the very first journal in Great Britain to advocate, we gladly make room fur an extract from it : " Among all the Christian populations of the East (says the Debuts) none have suffered so much as the Cretans, and there is none whose insurrection can be better excused. Crete, in its ancient days, contained more than 1,200,000 inhabitants. Under the Venetians the po pulation was only 900,000, which were reducedto 600,000, when, after a war of five and twenty years, the island fell under the Turkish yoke. On the breaking out of the late Greek revolution there were only 300,000 inha bitants remaining in Crete, the result of 150 years' domination of the Turks ; for wherever the Turk reins depopulation follows. Since the Greek revolution the inhabitants of Crete have dwindled down to 150,000, of which 100,000 are Greeks, 26,000 are Turks, and 24,000 are foreigners ; but these foreigners are chiefly Greeks, from the Morea or the lonian Isles. The cause of this lamentable decrease since 1820, is to be found in the war carried on by the Cretans against both the Sultan and Mehemet Ali, and lastly in the op pressive character of Egyptian domination. The sad rem nant of a population of nearly one million and a half, reduced to 150,000, lately took up arms again, in order to avoid being systematically destroyed by inches. They preferred to die with arms in their hands than to perish methodically. But this unfortunate race has again been brought under the subjugation of its old and cruel op pressors the Turks, whose yoke weighs upon the east with a ruthless indifference to the well-being of their subjects, for they have everywhere depopulated the country, and inflicted sterility on the most fruitful fields." This is no bad picture of the disease. The Debuts remedy, which we also quote, is just what we suggested hen we recommended the Christian inhabitants of the Island of Crete to be placed under the joint protection of the Great Powers of Europe: We cannot too strongly recommend it to the attention of European statesmen and philanthropists :—, • - It is impossible to make two races inimical to each other live together in harmony, each having its distinct laws, its own language, and its own faith. What Na ture has separated, let an Administration maintain peaceably separate. Separation or extermination, there is no medium. But are the Tnrks to be exterminated ? We say no—the fanticism of the crusades is gone by. Are the Greeks there to be exterminated ? Assuredly no, &rope would not allow it, and Turkey cannot effect it. What lion is to be dune ? Guarantee to the Chris tian race, subjent to the Turkish Government, a separate Administration, under which it may live secure and pro tected. " We recommend this subject to the Governments of Europe, Humanity has a great end in view, and diplo macy may reap everlasting praise." Something must be done beyond the promulgation of the mere letter of the Hatti Scheriff to relieve the Chris. tian subjects of the Porto from the oppression under which they have so long groaned. The world has had ample experience of the incompatibility of the Mos lem creed with the progress of an advanced and ever-advancing civilization. Why this is so we shall take some future opportunity of discussing, a s the subject is too comprehensive for our present limits. Respecting the indubitableness of the fact there can hardly be two opinions among men of any deep reflection. Yesterday's Express from Paris enabled us to antici pate the ordinary news in the French Journals of Sun day. The following extracts are not, however, without interest : - - - - - • Our Madrid correspondence of the 20th inst. says, that one of the difficulties to the raising of the new loan, on the part of the capitalists, is, that Government will not uive them a general guarantee from all the salt duties of the kingdom collectively, and only offer pa: ial grants for particular provinces. The Commit) states, that since the Custom-house Coast-guard have been ordered to be more strict in looking after smugglers, they have succeeded in taking many good prizes. It adds, that the Coast-guard intend to show extreme rigour to all foreign vessels of war (?) A Warsaw journal states that the Countess Malachow= ska, wee Princes Sanguzko, having learned that the Go vernment had an intention of erecting a Roman Catholic church in the parish of Yola, proposed to the authorities to give 200,000 florins fur the building, on condition that it should bear the name of Saint Charles Borromeo. The Emperor granted this request, and desired Frince p as k ew itsch to communicate it to the pious lady. The building will cost 3%0,000 florins, of which the Govern ment will pay the remaining 150,000 florins. The works are ordered to commence immediately. At the last meeting of the Agricultural Society of Lyons, a new kind of dwarf potatoe, called the bean potato, was presented to the members. The root is not larger than a, hazel-nut, and yields a yellow and highly farinaceous substance. The skin is thin, the leaves, flowers, &c., of the plant are all upon a small scale, and it is much more delicate than the common potato. An old man, who had long been porter at the esta blishment of the Mont de Piete, Rue du Paradis, diet suddenly the other day. Ills wages were only 1,200 f. a year, but his income was augmented by trifling fees, which persons resorting to that place used to give hint for many little services which he had it in his power to render. On examining into his affairs, he was fotrntl to be worth 32,000 f. per annum. The day before his death he had received six sous as a gratuity from a person who had come to pledge some property. The gc7ttinelle de la Marine, published at Toulon, says T he s . ;elc at Mahon are most of them removed to Port Vendre, they 4.70 sent to Montpillier, and great exertions are 1.-'4l4ing' to prepare at liyeres the building which is to receive 1: convalescent pa bents. , • --day- It brings g - The Gregeois packet has arrived L . -nay. •- the.hos from Mahon the last of the sick who were L. -rh o _ pital.

The Court of Cassation was to have heard yesterday the appeal of the Attorney-General of the Royal Tri bunal of Toulouse, with a view to get a different exa mining Judge appointed in the proceeding against Messrs.

" Le Commerce. MONEY and COM iiERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. There has been a slight depression in Stocks to-day, Lut no marked reaction has occurred. For im• mediate transfer Consols realized 89k to closing at 84 to ; and for Account 901 to 4 ; Exchequer Bills were 17s. to 15s. premium, being firm,. but India Bonds dropped to 2s. and Is. premium. Bank Stock was rather higher, viz., 1681 to 1691, the New Three-and a-half per Cents. were at 981 to 1, and the Three per Cent.. Annuities at 90 to 90k. Money was in rather more demand. A moderate business was done in Foreign Stocks, al though the half-monthly settlement attracted the chief attention. The Bulls appeared to have the best of it, Spanish having risen since the 16th instant from 19A to 201, and Colombian from 194 to 201. Portuguese New Five per Cents. were at 301 tot, Mexican at 261, and Brazilian at 674. Belgian OlFive per Cents. were at 1021, and the Three per Cents. at 701 ; French Five per Cents. were steady at 116, and Dutch Five per Cents at 101 i to 1021. For Shares a good market was found, but the trans actions were not extensive. Great Western Railway Shares were 17/ to 16k, the New , 6A., and the Fifth s , 4 prem. The Blackwall, 91 ; Manchester and Leeds, 12 ; Eastern Counties, 144 discount. London and West minster Bank, New Shares, were l 4 premium. i • There has been Lhe same firmness n the Foreign Ex changes this afternoon. The rise in the Exchange at llarnburgh, attended as it was by a decline in gold, wil be the prelude, it is hoped, of a similar movement in the other principal cities of the Continent. The quota tions for Three Months' Bills have been these :—Paris 25. 65 to 671 ; Amsterdam, 12. 41 to 4 ; Antwerp, 12. Hamburgh, 13. 101 to 1 1 ; Frankfort, 1491 to t; and Trieste, 9. 50 to 52.

A very important change seems on the eve of accomplish ment in the internal trade of Canada, by the application of a new . propelling power on the St. Lawrence, upon the principle of the screw. The following extract will best explain the thing, though we think our Cana dian brethren have no reason to grudge us a change in our Corn-laws. It is stated that— " Before another season has elapsed, the bulk of the forwarding trade will be carried down from the farthest of the upper ports, direct to the Atlantic vessels. If the Corn laws remain unaltered, and England still continues to afford us a market, the Canada farmers will profit much by this new improvement. On the Western ports of Lake Erie, and those of Luke Huron up to Goderich, the cost of transport by the slow medium of schooners is almost too expensive for profitable speculation. A vessel propelled by the Ericson screw will make her voyage with regularity and despatch, and ensure the farthest settler of the north west the means of sending down his surplus wheat, if he have any, and afford inducements to the cultivation of millions of acres, now thought unworthy of being cleared for the g rowth of grain.

UNEMPLOYED OPERATIVES OF PAISLEY AND RENFREWSIIIRE.—A county meeting on this sub ject was held on Thursday in Paisley, when it was a gype f l that a subscription should be entered into for the the existing distress, Several purpose of roliuving sums, varying from 5!. to 100!., have already been sub scribed.

They were busily occupied iu visiting the curio. sities of the capital. CURIOUS LOVE AFFAIR. The following circumstance happened a few miles west of Midsome Wprop, about twelve months since : A young man and woman, quite strangers tg each other, were acci dentally placed by the sexton of a pariah 0 - 4 014 In the same pew. During the course of the sermon the young man read love in the eyes of the lady, w hi c h made a greater impression on his mind than did the lecture of the pious minister. As love, although blind, is never at a loss for expedients, he esented th e ma id en , w hose charms had so attracted him, with a strip of paper, bearing the following portion of Scripture,-taken from the Second 'Epistle of St. John, s t h verse :•—•" And now I beseech thee, lady, not as th ough I wrote a n ew com mandment uhto thee, but th at w hi c h we had from the beginning, that we lov e one another ;" which, she selected an ot h er after reading portion ? and returned him, from the Ist chapte r o f Ruth, an d the lath verse " Entreat me not t o l eave thee or to return from follow. ing after thee,for lestl whither thou g oest I will go, a n d where thou lod : willmy o lodgeo d,, thy people shall b e my From that time they bPsaftme acquainted with each other, and in less than t en ! people, and th y G o d months after they were married, and now they live very comfortably together.- Derenport Ttlegraph.

FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER, 1841. • (From the World of Fashion.) BONNETS.—Drawn bonnets of apple, green . pou de sole. ~; with. the exterior ornamented with a demi wreath of velvet foliage, in various shades of green, and the in- ; terior of the brim trimmed with moss rose buds and rose coloured ribbon brides are fashionable. Lace retains its vogue ; it is adopted for bonnets of every different ma- Aerial ; thus we see those of Italian straw 'of a close form decorated with a small lace veil, which entirely. , .1 covers the brim, and is retained at the 'ears on each side by' a knot, of green taffetas ribbon. Rice straw bonnets with very king brims trimmed with white feathers, shaded with blue, and a small veil of English point hate, retained at each side .by a small sprig. ;of blue flowers. .. The most remarkable of =the silk - bonnets are thoSe of pea green gros des Indes, decorated with white ostrich feathers shaded with green, and a lace voilette, disposed partly on the crown and partly on the brim. Gauze ' bonnets are partially covered with lace ; and crape ones • with lace draperies, arranged in novel and elegant forms, have lost nothing of their vogue. SHAWLS AND SCARFS.—Lace shawls and those of em-' • broidered muslin, have resumed their vogue. White • cashmere scarfs have made their appearance ; they area of exquisite fineness, the ends finished by a beautiful cashmere fringe ; they are likely to become very fa shionable. Silk scarfs of the material of the dress are , •' now quite out of favour. _ CORSAGES OF MUSLIN ROBES IN HALF DRESS.—The prevalence of canezous has introduced various forms of corsages for half dress robes, which are rendered ex tremely pretty by entre deux casings, bouillonne, and various other ornaments. Among the robes of this de scription, those of organdy, of . the very clearest kind, • lined with pink or sarsenet ; the 'border trimmed with four deep tucks, also lined with. sarsenet. Some have the tucks edged with narrow lace, set on with a little fulness ; others have the tuck surmounted by a small tulle ruche ; the last style of trimming has a very pretty . . and novel effect. The corsage is drawn in small casings from the waist to the bosom ; the upper part is not' cased, but drawn full round. the bust, nearly; but not quite, up to the throat. The sleeve is of the small bishop form, drawn both at top and bottom, but mode rately i• full in the centre. CEINTURE ECHARPE.—They are adopted only with muslin and argandy robes, and are always of the mate rial of the dress. The scarf is narrow, and either trim med with a broad h em , ' t h roug h which a ribbon is run, of the colour of the lining of the robe, or else it is edged with narrow lace. The scarf is passed twice.l round the waist, and the ends, which are always made a little broader, fall as low as the knee. SILK LOBES IN HALF -DRESS have corsages tig . ta, or else, if they are drawn, the drawings are arranged in s kind of gerbe that is very advantageous to the shape; but, upon the whole drawn corsages are seldom adopted for silk dresses. These corsages are generally trim m ed with lace, which is mostly disposed At, in the lappol style, or those opening en cmur. If the sleeve is made long, it is almost always tight, and we must say that these sleeves have, in some instances, a very undress appearance, being made without any ornament. They are, however, more frequently decor a t e d w ith fancy silk trimmings, which still continue in the highest vogue. EVENING HEAD-DRESSES.—Those of hair ornamented with flowers are now more general than they were last month. Those' a la Vierge are the most in vogue. Ringlets, however, though not in a majority, are qu ite as numerous as bands. Caps and demi-coiffures, though not so generally adopted last month, are quite as fashion able. Those of white tulle are adopted in half-dress only. are extremely small, scarcely covering the back et' the head : the material is arranged in a. very light style. but one for which our lang uage has no words,--so must adopt the French words chiffonnee • the trimming is composed of. ma i ze - co l oure d ribbon, disposed rather sparingly, andin a very light style. PROTEST. The following Protest against the Amended Address agreed to by the House of Lords, has been drawn up and signed by the Duke of Sussex. It will, no doubt. receive the signatures of many other Peers favourable to' free trade : DISSENTIENT. , . 1. Because we ar e a d verse i n pr i nc i ple. to all restraints, upon commerce.
