FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, March 15.) BUCHAREST, FEB. 12.—1 t appears that even at the time when the three Ambassadors were at Con stantinople, misunderstandings arose between some of the diplomatic agents in that city, which had then a prejudicial effect on the negotiations, for the Porte is informed of every thing that passes in the palaces of the Ambassadors at Pera. Only a few days ago the Reis Effendi declared, that the Councillors of the Ottoman Porte were convinced that the intervention was not considered, .by the other Powers as Russia nppeared to believe, and that the present moderation • of the Russian Cabinet, which it was endeavoured to represent as a proof of amicable sentiments, was to be ascribed to other causes. That if the Porte had for some time appeared inclined to deceive itself in this respect, such was not the case at present-•-that if at a preceding time, of its own free will, it had in tended to effect the pacification of Greece, in the spirit of the treaty of the 6th of July, as was proved h - v the firman addressed to the Greek Patriarch, by which pardon was granted to the nobles on the con tinent, the several legations had contributed each, as far as lay in its power, to make the Sultan depart from these sentiments, so that not one of his servants was now permitted to say a single word to him on the subject. This declaration of the Reis Effendi would be calculated to destroy every hope of a favourable ar rangement of the Greek question, and to .prevent ail farther attempts tending to induce the Porte to yield, if it were nit thought that it must be consi dered rather as indicating the restless character of the Reis Effendi, than expressing the true senti ments of the Sultan. On this supposition a step would still remain compatible with the situation of the Turkish Minister, and the relations of the Powers on the result of which the issue of the af fairs of the Fast might depend. The hopes which are preserved in this respect are founded less on the dispositions of the Divan, and of the very powerful tilernas, than on the Sultan himself, and on his knowledge of the internal situation of the empire, ;be re-organization of which undert Len by him might be checked by any re-Action fom without, Jnd which lie must fear that he shou d perhaps be obliged to sacrifice, in order to of to n strength to resist foreign attack, Meanwhile the military armaments are prosecut ing with activity : the principalities have just paid their military contributions, and the requisitions of horses, which - amount to 4,000, for Walachia alone, have been sent to Adrianople.—Augsburgh Gazette. PARIS, MARCH 14.—The courier who brought the last despatches from St. Petersburgh, and who arrived at Paris on the 12th, left St. Petersburgh on the Ist of March. A letter from Toulouse of the 10th of March says—" A brigade of artillery, composed of one company of the sth regiment, and one company of the .id squadron of the train, has received orders to proceed on the 14th of this month to Toulon, where it will receive directions for its further destitution." A letter from Marseilles of the Gth of March says—" An expedition beyond sea begins to be talked of. The following are the particulars : " The three regiments of infantry which are at Toulon, and that which is at Marseilles, are to pre pare 1,000 or 1,100 men for an expedition. These men aw,to be completely equipped in every respect : the French infantry which is at Cadiz is also to be ready to be embarked : those men who are able to perform active service have been separated from those whom it is necessary to send back to France. There will be also 3,000 men embarked at Brest. Nobody doubts that the troops, as well from Brest as Cadiz, will join those at Toulon, and that the destination of the whole is the Mediterranean. But will it be for Algiers, the Mores, some island in the Archipelago, or the Dardanelles ? This is the sub jeet of many conjectures. What is certain is, that there are in the great road of Toulon two ships of the line, the Scipio and the Breslau, and three frigates, ready to put to sea at a moment's notice; that two other ships of the line, and two frigates, may be got ready in a few days; that bombards are preparing ; that about 3,000 hectolitres of corn are being converted into flour; and that other supplies .of provisions and ammunition are collecting." We find the following article in a journal*:— " It is considered as — certain in the diplomatic cir elec, that Lord Stuart is gone to St. Petersburgh, with a Dote of the English Cabinet, the substance of which is, that Great Britain, when it signed the treaty of the 11th July, did not mean to intervene, except as a maritime power, and to protect the Greeks by sea against the arrival of succours to the Turkish and Egyptian army; that as a continental war and invasion of Turkey must have consequences much more extensive than those which could have been foreseen at the time of the negociations, the i'ecult would be that the British Cabinet would, in that case, have other measures to take for its honour , and its interest, and that the passage of the Proth by a singe Russian regiment would lead to the an. milling of th,4 treaty as far as Great Britain is con- Thus :di depends on the answer which the Cabinet of St. Pet,'''esbuzgh will make to this note; and, considering the immense preparations made by' Russia, the concentration of its forces, and the spirit which this moment anim3tes the Uvan, it is very probable that England withdraw from the coalition."

Lc. (From the Journal des Delats of Thursday.) CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, MARCH 12. All the Ministers were present, except M. Hyde al e Neuville, whom an unfortunate event prevented from attending. The MINISTER OF FINANCE rose—Me stated that the reources provided by the Laws of Finance of the I:Stit .Tuna, 1825 ; 21st June, 1826 ; and the Cth June, 1527, for the sum of 964,886,1211. have been reduced by the effect of remissions of the di , feet contributions, to dm amount of 6,323,151 f., con ,equently only amounted to 958,562,970 f. The funds returned to the Treasury are 987,620,5851. Thee have, therefore, exceeded the calculations of :19,057,615f. although a reduction of three millions ' on the eventual proceeds of the Lottery, Salt-pits, and different receipts. The causes of this decrease Pre explained by the nature of the imposts them ,:elves. A great consumption bas materially„increased the amount of taxes arising from Excise and Customs. A more active circulation of capital, and the internal relations have increased the produce of registering, and the Post-office. More numerous buildings have raised the price of timber; a greater development of commerce and industry has multiplied the number of patents. But on the other hand, supplemental credits for a sum of 19,165,0001. have already been granted for the service of 1826, for the expense of the army of Spain, for the purchase of the Caserne de la Cour tale, for the payment of debts arrear, on account o f the rise in the price of forage, for the increase of the; crews in the navy, for the embassy to Moscow, and the legations to America. Other supplemental supplies will be required of y 0 ,4 you will perceive that they are, at most, ex elusive:lY to complete and regulat e th e expenacs be jawing to diffelellt services insuffi c i ent l y prov id e d , or 'of wiiitl: l , in May, 1826 , only provisional calcu lation had taßen place. The original Budget of the expenses of 1826 amounted to 951,813,069 f.; notwithstandlbg other supplies, 13,560,000 f. are st ill re q uired, a nd to an nul the credits not consumed by 10,306,000f.,which increase the supply of 1826, to the amo unt o f 3,072,8501., and will definitively raise it to 976,948,819 f. Noiv as to the Revenue of 1827, the laws of July 1826 and June 1827, calculated the supply of 1827 at 955,596,556 f. The amount produced was only 953,34 5 , 2 . 501 . -which was 4 , 231,302 f. below the calculation. This, The Gazette does not name the journal. -~=-~ decrease was principally on the produce of salt-pits and forests. The produce of the indirect contribu tion of registering, and the Customs, and of patents, has exceeded their calculated amount by a million, and that is only decreased by a slight reduction of 3,097,000 f. on the sale of tobacco, and in the Excise. The comparison of the Revenue of 1827, with that of 1826, is less favourablo than between the Revenue 'Of 1826 and that of 1825. There is a decrease of near sixteen millions. We must attri bute that partly tol:the low price of wines, the con sumption of which, though more abundant, has not prevented the decrease of a tax, which was payable only according to the amount of the price. The expences which make the Ministry of War require a supplemental credit of 11,012,000 f. have been caused by the continued occupation of Spain, which has given rise to an expence of 7,150,000 f.; the purchase of lands, and the buildings raised for the purpose of establishing new magazines for forage and fire wood, the expence of which amounted to 2,472,000 f.; and in this supply 1,500,000 f. is in cluded belonging to the arrears anterior to the Ist January, 1826. The total of the Budget of the year 1827 will be 992,709,171 f. The resources which belong to it are only 951,345,250 f. There is, therefore, a de ficiency of 41,363,917 f. which is decreased to the amount of 6,170,4431. by the application of dispo sable funds of the supply of 1826. The definitive amount is, therefore, • 35,199,474E-4A general movement in the Assembly.) A preceding Administration has left us for the year 1828 the same revenue, and the same ex pences; and we shall, no doubt, have to experience the same insufficiency of resources.—(A new move.; ment.)—We shall have to provide till the evacua tion for the support of the troops, which still oc cupy some fortresses of Spain, and for the pay of the crews in the different stations where they are placed. The advances in 1826 and 1827, for the Army of Spain, have produced in the Treasury a real de ficiency of 58 trillions. To the deficiency, which amounts in the whole to 131,670,0001., we are to add the new increase of expenses which I have mentioned in the supply of 1827 and 1828: the first, of 35,159,174 f. ; the second, of 33,500,000 f. We must, therefore, provide that after the complete payment of the charges of 1828 shall amount to 200,036,9471. ( Great agitation, and an interruption of some minutes. Several voices, " That is an enormous deficit.") In this situation we reach the Budget of 1829. We thought it necessary to make these statements in order to complete the view of our receipts and expenditure. The receipts of the supply of 1829 will amount to 9 58,856,821 f.; compared with the calculated ex penses of 975,703,0251., there will present a deficit of 16,846,205 f. (Universal marks of astonishment, and a prolonged interruption.) Th e cana l s autho rised on th e 14th of August, 1822, will require after 1829 no less supplies than forty millions, as the consequence of the engagement to supply the excess of the expenses above estimations submitted by the Companies. We can cover the excess of the expences of the Budget of 1829, by proposing to apply to it the produce of the cutting of wood of 1830, the receipt of which will be realized before the 31st December, 1829, in drafts at three, six, and twelve months. This measure of necessity is conformable to the an cient custom of the Administration, and the present rules of our liability, which have directed that we should give to every year the produce of that year. Its effect will only be to prevent an anticipation of receipts which has given rise to well-founded ob servations. We shall obtain by these changes a produce calculated at 27,300,0001., an excess of re ceipts of 10,453,994 f. above the supply of 1829, which wise foresight induces to reserve to meet the _extraordinary necessities which we might feel. Although this supply may be drawn at present from the cutting_of wood, we cannot recur to those means in the years following 1829. We must therefore seek some more permanent means of equalizing our expences and our receipts. The first means are undoubtedly economy and re trenchment,but not such as would retrench the useful and productive expences, or the result of which would weaken or compromise the necessary services of the The deficit of •more than two hundred millions which we have thought likely to exist, after payment of 01 charges of 1828, will be decreased by greater receipts than those which have been foreseen.— Nearly one-half of this slim will be compensated one day by the return of the advances made to Spain [" doubtful;" laughter], which amount already to 89,600,000 f. [noise]. The Public Sitting rose at half-past three. The Chamber retired into its Bureaux. (From the Constitutionnel 'of Friday.) PARIS, 31.ARCII 14.—We remember that among the motives which should induce the Russians not to cross the Pruth, it was said that they had not suffi cient resources. Yet the Russians have crossed the Pruth ; and the Moniteur informs us, that at that trine the Russian troops were abundantly supplied with all necessaries. It is said now, however, that the Porte will soon see the necessity of submission. But on what ground does this opinion rest? Is it to be supposed that the Porte will be more docile when it has more insults to avenge. (From the Courier Francais of Friday.) PARIS, MARC!! 14.—The discovery of the deficit, by casting a degree of alarm on the public mind, has ra : . qed, in the highest degree, the exasperation of the p „ t i za ::%s of the late Ministry. They feel that M. Roy has p r ;:lnounced their irrevocable condemnation, and that it 147 1 9 that blow which they wished to parry, by the recent intrigues which we have poin ed out. , The Gazette de France, of 11. Villele, endeavours weakly to answer what we said yesterday relative to the expenses of the occupation of the Peninsula. It is clear, at first sight, that its . object is to turn the public attention from its patron, If Spain was pro mised that no demand should be made on it for the expenses of the occupation, we believe that the ne e-ociation did not pass through our. Ministers for Foreign Affairs ; the fidelity of M. de Dames has not been put to such a trial. But who does not know that M. de Villele, in his omnipotence, trans acted.directly those affairs which he thought it well to remove from the knowledge of his colleagues ? Have we not an example of that in what happened with respect to the Marshal Duke de Ballw, at the time of the invasion of Spain ? If M. de Villele has played the part of Minister of War against .the Minister of War himself, is it unlikely that he might have carried on diplomatic affairs without the parti cipation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs? Tun AFFAIRS OF TRE EAST.—The English di plomacy is overcome; the Russians are on their march; and Nicholas has broken the bonds with which Metternich and Castlereagh held Alexander surrounded. What ought France to do—following the Great Catherine, who protected in 1787 the Mussulmans without. knowing why ? The Minis ters, in fact, &aye us, without an army, and with a deficit in our receipt;, And a debt of two hundred millions. It was not by making war against foreign countries, but against France and it; Institutions, that they have brought us into this deplorable situa tion. We may hope to . free our se l ves , h owever, from this deplorable situatum, by pursuing a policy of our own, and listening only to our own interests. These interests command an armed neutrality; but we have only an army less than our wants, which we pay beyond our power. We expend near two hundred millions, and Prussia, which does not ex pend more than one hundred millions, can in a fort night place 300,000 men under arms, and they are supported by a reserve of 200,000 others, who, having passed through the army of the line, and the two degrees of Landwehr, are men accustomed and hardened to fatigue'. The Netherlands and Piemonte have adopted the same system, and we remain foolishly stationary like die Turks, whom it is wished to make us support. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS Bank stock 3 per Cent.

A T a numerous and highly respectable MEETING of CATHOLICS, held in Dublin by public advertisement on Wednesday, the 12th of March, inst., MICHAEL DILLON BELLEW, of Mount Bel lew, Esq., in the Chair, the following Resolutions were moved by DANIEL O'CONNELL, Esq., seconded by acclamation : Resolved unanimously, That we offer the tribute of our cordial congratulation to our Christian brethren, the Pro testant Dissenters of England, on the late signal triumph obtained on their behalf by the sacred principle of Free dom of Conscience. That we utterly disclaim the support of any Member of Parliament who may allege that the rights of the Dis senters are inconsistent with the Catholic claims, because, if they were so, yet we should desire that justice should he done to the Dissenters, no matter what may be the re sult to our particular cause. That we hereby once again offer to the Protestant Dis centers our cordial assistance, and we are most desirous to afford that assistance in ae manner most conducive to obtaining the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. That we heartily rejoice that the Members of the House of Commons who owe their election to Catholic Constitu ents, have with a single and discreditable exception, given their decided support to the Bill in favour of the Dis senters. MICHAEL DILLON BELLEW, Chairman. J. A. CURRAN, Secretary. Cr r ~~~: .? ; ,,*lllll. LONDON, MOMMY EVENING, MARCH 17, 1828. We understand that there is no longer any doubt of Russia having declared war against the PonTE. An Austrian messenger arrived in town yesterday with despatches for Prince Es- TERIIAZY, which are said to bring the Rus sian declaration of war. The messenger travelled with great speed, having only left Vienna on Monday last. So urgent were his orders that he crossed the Channel in an open boat. The occupation of Moldavia and Wallachia will be the first consequence of the war. Whether Russia has ulterior designs remains to be seen. Whilst some of our Cotemporaries may be more lucratively engaged in discovering and urging reasons why a general war must be kindled in Europe, and the Funds fall to a de sired point, it shall be our object on all occa sions to present a view of public affairs unin fluenced by such considerations, and not to add to the sufficient evils of the present day by gloomy anticipations of future disaster. To such of our readers as have followed the history of public events, even for the last week, it must be very evident that in the hostile atti- tude of the Russian Armies, on the Frontiers of Turkey, there exists the highest probability of a rupture between those two nations—influenced as they are by hereditary hatred and the recol lection of long and bloody wars, which never terminated but in mutual exhaustion or foreign interposition. But granting to these appearances, not only the highest degree of probability, but actual fulfilment—allowing that the Russian armies have passed the Pruth, and actually invaded Turkey—we are at a loss to discover what dangers menace England from the recurrence of war in that remote quarter, or what direct interest our peace- fHI and happy island has in the possession of Walla. cbia or Moldavia, so that trade is not suspended, and humanity outraged, by the recurrence of those barbarities which have signalized the Turkish occupation of Eastern Europe. It is customary to talk profoundly of the gigantic power of Russia, and the chances of her shortly swallowing up all the other nations of Europe in the vortex of her insatiable ambi- tion. Our caricature shops will no doubt shortly represent her in the very act of devouring them ; but, without such assistance to our imagination, we find it difficult to conceive how she is to effect it. It is clear, however, that it must be either by pouring forth her count less legions and barbarian hordes, the only species of power in which she is preeminent amongst the European nations, or by shaking the world, as the French did, with the far more dangerous in flux of revolutionary opinions. From the latter source there is evidently at this moment but moderate cause for alarm, and as to her Cossacks over-running Europe, we strongly suspect that, with all the additional money and recruits which she could draw from the conquered provinces of Turkey, she would net be inclined to engage in a continelatal war— with no certainty attached to it except the .shut Extracts from the French Papers of Friday, and the Gazette de France dated Saturday, will be found in another column. It will be seen that the French are actively preparing to fit out an expedition, which is said to be destined for Greece. Toulon is the port of rendezvous. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 9th inst. says that the King of PRUSSIA, in his paternal care for the maintenance and diffusion of genuine Evangelical Christianity, has ordered the sup pression of the Branch Missionary Society at Dasseldorf, for practising immorality and illegal acts. We suspect his MAJESTY had other reasons for this course of proceeding VIENNA, MARCH 4. —Metalliques, 90 ; Bank Share., 1025. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We received this afternoon by express the French Morning Papers of Saturday, from which we extract the following Proclamation of Count CAPO D'ISTRIAS, on his accession to the Government of Greece. The Gazette de France of yesterday has not been received. The French Funds had not varied : EGINA, FEB. 10. PROCLAMATION OF THE GOVERNOR OF GREECE. If Providence is for us, no person can be against us. At length lam amongst you, and render thanks to God. The lively satisfaction with whit.`► you received me, and the confidence with which you surround me, pierces my heart, but the moment is not yet arrived that I can testify the whole of my duty, but I hope, the moment that your Representatives shall be legally assembled, I will make known to them the communications that I am entrusted with, that you will find that the only object of my journey and my efforts, since the month of May last, was to relieve our dear country from the hard and isolated situation in which it is placed, to the present day; and at the same time to restore without delay the happiness promised by the first paragraph of the additional article of the Treaty of Lon don of 6th July last, as well as to procure to it the pecuniary resources on the part of all the Powers who have signed that Treaty. The honours rendered on the 24th of this month had for object the Installation of your new Go vernment, but its ends are not yet acconlplished, but they shall be the moment the Government of the Interior, strong by its laws, can deliver you from anarchy ; then you can give to the Allied Sovereigns a pledge of your duty to wards them, but before this period you have no right to hope for the assistance that I implore for you. I am much afflicted that the National Assembly of Trezene have not furnished to the Senate sufficient force to cause its independence to triumph. It will be impossible to convoke a national assembly before April, but during this interval, should the state of affairs continue, it will de stroy all our hopes and deprive you of the immense sacri fices you have made and sustained with so much bravery. The public character which I have sustained for more than 30 years, and the favours 1 have obtained from several Courts of Europe, will prove to you that the only object of my resolution is to preserve you from the horrid come quenee of an arbitrary Government. (Signed) CAPO D'ISTRIAS. ECINA, FEB. 2. At the close of the proclamation the President of Greece established a provisionary government muter the name of Panhellenium, composed of 27 members. The accounts from Franckfort, state that a grand move ment of the Austrian s h as t a k en p l ace towards Hungary ; Prussia is also making military preparations, but the German funds have not fallen. A report prevailed at Paris that Metternich had arrived there ; also that the Sultan had been strangled., The above caused a trifling rise. Gibraltar Chronicles to the 25th February, mention that they had experienced another heavy gale of wind from the South-west, attended with a heavy sea, on the 23d ; but the mischief done was not of much importance, and its fury had abated on the 25th.—Wind on the 25th, North west. A private letter, received by a most respecta ble firm in the City this morning, from Mar seilles, dated the Bth March, states that the French Government had given orders to freight vessels as transports, for the purpose of convey ing 15 , 0 00 men to the Morea, and corn was rapidly risin g in consequence. An articl e in the Courier Francais of Satur day confirms the above. Four thousand men are to be taken from the garrisons of Toulon And Marseilles, who are ordered to be ready for embarkation at a moment's notice. Three hun- total destruction of her marine and her commerce, in the cherishing of which, and not in the ac quisition of territory, her true interests palpably lie. Her bitterest enemies can wish her no greater misfortune than the increase of bulk, without the adhesive principles of freedom and civilization. It was only when effeminacy had prepared the Roman . Empire for the yoke, that the barbarians of the North became formidable by their num bers and brutal courage, nor shall we apprehend danger from the numerical strength of the Rus sian armies whilst our national customs and manly sports preserve an indomitable spirit, which is to be found under the costumes of our countrymen as well as under a Russian bear skin. Many a scented lounger in Bond-street has passed through scenes of carnage, and would cheerfully exchange a life of fashion for the tented field, did his country again require his services, - But sorry should we be to see Russia betray such a spirit of aggrandizement, as would at all events detach her from an alliance with the two greatest and most civilized nations in the world, who, we hope, have buried their animosities for ever, and are resolved to go hand in hand, in extending to all other kingdoms the blessings of Freedom and good Government. Russia may have private causes of complaint against Turkey, which may authorize an invasion of her frontier to enforce redress, but we cannot believe that she has insidiously covered purposes of ambition, by joining in an alliance, having for its avowed object the liberation of Greece, while in her secret purpose she had appropriated it to herself. Such treachery would alone draw down on her the vengeance of her formidable Allies, who, as long as they gloriously act toge ther in the cause of humanity, must be the umpires of Europe, as they were formerly her curse, in the display of mutual and unnatura hatred. BRUSSELS, MARCII 14. An Austrian Cabinet Messenger passed through this city last night, on his way from Vienna, with despatches for London. r The accounts respecting the negociations between Russia and Persia become as inexplicable as those about Greece and Turkey. We heard some time ago that peace was con cluded, and even that part of the contribution to be paid by Persia had already been received by Russia. Now we are told, by a German Journal, that the treaty is not rati fied, that the negociations do not advance, and that Abbas Alirza is in disgrace with the Emperor his father. "'ZANY:FRT, MARCH 7.

Detachments of Invalids belonging to the 13th Light Dragoons, and the Ist, 30th, 45th, 46th, and 48th Regi. ments of Foot, arrived at Gravesend on the 13th instant, from Madrac, on board the freight ship Susan. A Detachment of the Depot of the 74th Regiment of Foot, lately embarked at Greenock to join the Service Companies of that Corps in North America. The 7th Dragoon Guards will commence its march from Coventry on the 13th instant. dred artillerymen are to accompany this divi sion, and several regiments of cavalry have already received orders to held themselves in readiness; and transports expressly for the conveyance of cavalry have been bargained for by the agents of Go vernment. The greatest activity prevails at Toulon in fitting out vessels of war of every description. It is even doubtful if they do not embark the materiel for a siege. Sincapore Papers of the Bth November have been received. The only extract worth taking is an article from China, under date of Canton, the 23d September, which states that the market for Patna and Maliva opium had lately been in an extraordinary unsettled state, and the spirit of speculation among the Chinese had exceeded any thing ever witnessed ; the prices were, Patna 1,200, Benares 1,160 to 1,170, and Maliva 1,350 Spanish dollars a chest, for cash. These prices are, however, nominal, but Iles might be effected at 1,260, 1,220, and 1,480 dollars per chest, at two or three months. The principal holder of Turkey had refused to sell at 660, and it is now making 750 to 770 dollars, which had enabled the Captain to realize 750 in cash. German Papers of the 10th inst., and Brus sels of the 16th, have been received, from which it will be seen that the seat of the negociations for the emancipation of Greece will be at Corfu : lONIAN ISLANDS, FEB. 9.0- The seat of the negociations for the emancipation of Greece will be at Corfu ; every thing is ready to receive the Ambassadors of the three Powers, and their labours may very soon begin. We do not know what part the Ottoman Porte will take in the deliberations, or how far the Greek Government will co-operate, but it is evident that this great work cannot be concluded without the con currence of the Porte, unless a state of war should arise and arms called on to decide the question. It is for this possi ble case that the combined squadrons seem to have been reinforced, and that all the ships which suffered in the battle of Navarin have been repaired. Admiral Codring- ton will probably retain the chief command, though a party sought to deprive him of it. We are on the eve of wit nessing great events ; God grant that those which are about to happen may be less disastrous than the fatal mis understanding at Navarin, the consequences of which we, and the whole Levant trade, have experienced, and from which further severe losses will result, which cannot be remedied by arms, but by an amicable arrangement. Though our situation is very favourable as a central point for these parts of the world, though modern Greece pos sesses the same advantage, and though its inhabitants have a genius capable of the greatest enterprises, and of making a rapid progress in civilization, yet these advantages do not afford sufficient security to revive commerce, which has been wholly paralysed since the insurrection, and cannot recover except by means of the relations which have been suspended. Greece, which has been so long rent by fac tions, and may not perhaps soon obtain a legal form, has lost all prospect of a favourable state of commerce. It seems that the English Government, and especially' our loyal authorities, have made themselves fully acquainted with the evils which have so injured our commerce, and are, seriously engaged in means to remedy them. Besides the rigorous suppression of piracy, of which the capture of Carabusa affords a satisfactory proof, it seems that care will be taken to resume the commercial relations which have been so unhappily checked, and to restore that confidence which has been wholly destroyed in these latter times. Negotiations are said to be carrying on with the Pacha of Egypt. not only respecting that country, but which may prove highly important to the Porte. How fortunate it would be if the result should be such as may be expected from the enlightened views of the Viceroy. DESTRUCTION of the NEW BRUNSWICK THEATRE, WELLCLOSE-SQUARE. --- • CORONER'S ADJOURNED INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) The investigation into the circumstances connected with the falling of the ne w B runsw i ck Theatre, was resumed this mortun g at nine o'clock. Michael JoFeph Sherlock -4s a slater; and was applied to by Mr. Whitwell in September last, to cover the iron roof of the theatre svith slates. He was subsequently em ployed Octob byer.t he proprietors, and com n i e h ce d covering the roof n The proprietors urged the w i tness to get the slate on by the licencing,day, which was the 18th of Oc.. tober ; but he informea thprn that it was impossible. It was afterwards decided thee the slating should com mence before the roof was completed The slates were put on in what are called "single courses :" which is, 'skip ping the a lt erna t e courses , i n order to press as lightly as i T e s o i d b ed le on to b t e he po u r n m fi a n o is e h o e t, unfinished rbooot was f. Thi arrangement w as no t merely determin e d f or the purpose of giving the roof the. appearance of being slated against the licensing day. Witness was in attendance every day whilst the slating was going on, and has ho a good deal of experience in iron roofs. The roof rested on the wall-plate, which was imbedded in mortar. The temperature to which an iron roof is subject will cause it to contract or expand; but it is impossible that the contraction or expansion could affect the wall-plate, which is built over the parapets, being built on it. There was sufficient room given in the construction of the tie-beams, for the effect of contraction or expansion. Three or four days before the licensing day, the slating was discontinued at the desire of the smith who was putting up the roof, and who said that he feared some of the slates must come off, as they weighed too heavily on one end of the roof, the other end not being finished. In covering an iron roof, it is essentially necessary that the weight should be equal on every part. The roof was finished so as to be water tight , before the house opened, but witness said, it was not finished satisfactorily, nor put out of hands in as workmanlike a manner as could be wished. Great injury was done to the roof in the buildieg of the parapets. The slates were broken several times and re paired temporarily, but it could not be done satisfactorily un til the tradesmen were all off the roof. Witness has been a slater for eighteen years, and all his ancestors were slaters. —(A laugh.)—Never before slated a roof in the manner he had done this. Was never obliged to lay on interme diate courses as he had done on this occasion, and was never subject to the same interruption and damage. In point of fact, the slating of the roolwas never satisfactorily finished. In answer to a Juror--Some gentlemen came from the Court-house on the licensing day, accompanied by Mr. Goff, the district-surveyor, and Mr. Whitwell. They look ed at the foundation, but did not come on the roof; witness was on the roof, watching for a signal from the Court house, to hoist flags on the roof of the Theatre...— The roof of the Theatre was the strongest witness ever slated. He has formed an opinion as to the cause of the accident. Formed that opinion so long ago as the 25th of January. Was sent, previons to that day, by Mr. Barlow, the Agent of Mr. Wellington. Witness's busi ness on this visit was for the purpose of superintending the repairs of the gutters. He observed preparations going forward for attaching the weight of the flies and of the car penter's shop to the roof. He acquainted Mr. Barlow with this circumstance the same afternoon, and inquired what weight the roof would bear. Mr. Barlow said he had no objection to placing a weight of nine or ten tons to the roof. Witness asked him whether he thought the roof could bear a hundred tons banging to it; and Mr. Barlow answered certainly not, and that he bad never guaranteed it to carry any such weight: he then said he would write to Mr. Whitwell about it. Mr. M'Cann (a Juror)—ln your opinion what was the cause of the accident ?—Witness--In my opinion the cause of the accident was the weight suspended to the tie beams. CORONER —Have you formed any opinion as to the weight so attached to the roof? Witness._] think it could not have been less than one hundred tons, but I don't speak accurately. The Inquest was proceeding when we went to press. ASSIZES.--(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) WESTERN CIRCUIT.--SALISBURY, blAacii 15.
