Aent° trust of their allies and friends. They have been bitterly and most unmercifully assailed by a lying Tory press, which has not been wholly unsuccessful. So far as the town elections have turned out unfavourably, then, we must asaribe the result rather to the unpopularity of the Mi nisters than to the unpopularity of their recent measures. The Tories, we believe, take a similar view. They are well aware—and every hour, as com mercial distress increases, strengthens their con viction—Ahat Sir ROBERT PEEL cannot govern the country on the principle of maintaining all the existing monopolies. Yesterday the Times inserted the Earl of RAD NOR'S letter, to show that agriculture does not need protection. It continues to harp on the popularity of the proposed measures. It in a manner admits, therefore, the necessity of them. The Times, at least, whatever Sir R. PEEL may propose, is evidently preparing to throw the landlords overboard, in order to obtain for the Tories the credit of supplying the wants of the State, while they reduce the burdens of the people. 'The Tories have raised a cry against the Mi nisters in order to turn them out, and the in stant they are in power they will and must adopt measures like those they object to. They force oil a dissolution—they disturb and convulse the country—they avow an intention to coerce the QUEEN in the names of Monopoly and Consgr vatis►n, and they are preparing, even before they are in office, to adopt something like the Wliig measures. They are resolved to reap the harvest which other men have sowed, and they bring down a large force, raised under false pretences, to chase the honest husbandman from the field. This proceeding, if carried out, will be a sort of political piracy. It can only succeed in the long run if the people be as corrupt as the Tory poli ticians. We give them credit for much more honesty; and whenever the Tories begin to act on their piratical intentions, they will chase them from office with the ignominy they deserve. LONDON: THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1841. The doctrines of free trade are making pro gress amongst the agriculturists. We have evi dence of this now lying betore us in an "Address to the Landowners and Farmers of East Cumber land, by a Landowner and Farmer," published at Carlisle, and in two speeches delivered at Rye, in Sussex, on this day week. The address to the landowners and farmers is an able as well as ex tensive production, and it goes at length into the subjects of Corn-laws, and sugar and timber du ties. Our readers will see much good sense in the following passages : It appears to me, therefore, that the whole derange ment or contraction of our currency, and consequent ef fect upon our commerce, are traceable to our Corn-laws and other restrictions upon the absolute necessaries of life, the depression in trade and want of employment keeping pace with cur restricted currency . from the causes before stated; because had a regular importation of grain been allowed at a moderate fixed duty, markets would have been open for our manufactures which would have been bartered for the grain imported, instead of pay ing for it in gold, and the exchanges or trade would then have been properly balanced—the restrictions in the cur rency avoided, and consequently the want of labour and fearful depression in the trade and commerce of the coun try, which is paralysing every joint and sinew of its indus try. And what is likely to be the consequence of our pre sent unwise and partial legislation for the benefit or supposed benefit of a portion of the community ? It is ruin to the manufactures and commerce of this great country, and is likely to drive our merchants and manu facturers with their capital to other countries, where more profitable employment can be found : and what then will become of our landed proprietors ? They must sink to their former level by their own wrong-headed ness, because it is utterly impossible that they can con tinue in prosperity when the other great interest is de clining. If they think otherwise, they must be the most besotted of all..men : one can hardly for a moment sup pose yet they must have credit for sincerity, but that only at the expense of their judgment, and that is in believing the landed proprietors are honestly of opinion the prosperity of the country depends upon agriculture alone, and that they can swim whilst the other great interest is sinking ; such belief, however, can only arise from ignorance of the subject which it ought to be the endeavour of every parson to remove, and there are no means so effectual as discussion in showing them their true interests, and that by permitting the regular im portation of grain, sugar, and timber, at moderate fixed duties, and encouraging our own manufactures by thus obtaining markets for them, we are avoiding our own ruin, and preventing the destruction of our country. I won't argue the point as to the question beirr , a landlord's or tenant' s , for the l a tter now see , if it be a question to either, that their interest wo u ld scarcely be affected, and I wish the landowner was equally en lightened. The tenants do not despair in being able to cope with the foreigner with the fixed' duty proposed, and they feel also that they would be benefited in the general welfare of the country, and that the operatives (for they, the farmers, are the operatives on the lands) must sink or swim together. Then, the last question is over-production by our manufacturers, but .that is a question of degree depending upon the markets open to them, and certainly if they be shut out as they unques tionably are, by our corn, sugar, and timber dutie s , f rom the markets of the world, then over-production is easy and may be admitted ; but open such markets by an in terchange of products and it would be difficult indeed to cause over-production by the labour of our country, for we should have a steady and regular demand for our goods, by which the supply would be regulated almost to a certainty ; but, under the present system of fraudu lent averages and protection, there is nothing but un certainty to the agriculturist as well as manufacturer, and starvation to the labouring class. Indeed a sliding scale regulated by averages can never be free from the frauds complained of. Such sentiments do honour to the East Cum berland Landowner; they seem indigenous to the county, for Sir JAMES GRAHAM was renowned for the extremes to which he carried his Liberal opinions, before he was perverted by bad com pany, and became a renegade from truth and honour. Let us now turn, however, from the north to the extreme south of England. The Brighton Guardian, published yesterday, con tains the speech of the Mayor of Rye, JEREMIAH SMITH, Esq., whom it describes as an eminent agriculturist, from which we make the following extract, recommending it to the perusal of the farmers- all over the kingdom, and to the peru sal of landlords who suppose they can for ever dupe the farmers:— The Mayor observed that he felt himself repaid by their kind approval of his conduct. Their honoured Representative had touched upon the Corn-laws.— (Hear.) As a farmer, he (the Mayor) would give his opinion as being interested to a slight extent in the cultiva tion of land. He had well considered the subject, and was now ready to embark his lot in the fate of the change. (Cheers.) He was well aware that it must soon come— (Hear, hear)—and therefore he said, now was the ti me to make a good and just bargain. If they as farmers did not meet it, the opportunity would be lost.—(Hear.) It was asked what should• they do if they did not grow corn ? He replied, they should grow some thing else. He treated it as a question of two farms.— . In thatl"ti question country _'` .o , l *.) If this would not grow corn at a profit, it easurntaugow beef and mutton. In France, meat was now here and while France waswithm ea t t h N e va L s Legislature as ls. c a o p rn ou i n va d s . a corn country , England was a grazing coun try could grow corn, we - could find meat, hops, and not stand still, we other articles.— Cheers . We could H est show that wirtmcust go on or fall, and therefore we He knew they could gro w n ro meet all nations.—(Hear, hear.) but then we can grow cheaper than we could than they can, and if we e3oruokifthings better and cheaper we should not be sufferers. Nevrade, and get a profit, open to us which we could supply markets would . daily , we restricted others from coming here, how could they meet us in re turn ?—(Chers.) At the same dinner Mr. SELMES was present, who is one of the best known farmers of Surrey. He some time ago contended for a wager that he would produce a hundred head of finer cattle of his own breeding than Earl SPENCER. The Earl won the wager; but that Mr. SELMES could contend with him is a proof that he is no mean agriculturist. He is, in fact, an authority on e, that subject, and his words, therefore, are worthy the attention of his brother farmers : * 4 Mr. Selmes said, with respect to the Corn-laws, his opinions were well known. When the present Corn Bill was passed in 1828, he was one of a Committee sitting in London to watch the progress of it ; and could assure them that up to the night of being brought before the House, it was a question with the Ministry if it should be a fixed duty or a sliding scale. The present scale was adopted, and he considered it was was for the best, because the farmers then as a fixed duty expected at least twenty shillings a quarter.—(llear.) Experience had, however, convinced him that both were wrong, the farmers in wishing for so great a protection which could never have been maintained, and the Go vernment in adopting the sliding scale.—(Hear, hear.) He was satisfied a fixed duty was the best for all parties. In 1829 they had corn at 365. per quarter ; in 1840 they had wheat at 78s. per quarter. In what way, he would ask, did the present laws accomplish the end intended by thorn of regulating the price of wheat so as to give a steady protection to the farmer ?—(Hear, hear.) Or did they make it beneficial to the country at large ? In a few years no less than seven millions of gold had been sent 'La of t l ie country for corn. That cou ld no t b e f or t h e benefit Of the country.—(Hear.) He certainly.-eonsi dered, now that the Poor-laws were altered, Ahtfarrners -were not entitled -to the same kind of protection - they It seems right to reinind our readers that two distinct questions have been put to the electors by the late dissolution,—the first concerns the po pularity of the Ministers, the other their mea sures, or rather the principle of their measures, to increase at once the resources of the State and the prosperity of the people. To the second of these questions, the almost universal answer of the in habitants of towns has been favourable. Neither at Liverpool nor at London, was the battle won under the black flag of monopoly. The Tory candidates were in favour of free trade, but they objected to the men by whom it was offered, and to the time of offering it. At Leeds the return of Mr. BECKETT was due, we believe, to his local influence. It was the victory of a townsman over a stranger. If the majority of the counties have answered, or will answer the question as to the measures unfavourably, the great majority of the towns have answered favourably, as to the prin ciple of the measures proposed by the Ministers. In fact, we have quoted from the Times, for two successive days, unanswerable proofs of the great popularity of the principle of the measures in the opinion of that journal. It expected to be overwhelmed, and its gratitude, for a victory or two, contrary to its expectation, has been un bounded. These measures speak to the purses and understandings of the people, and to govern them, the Tories must propose measures coinci dent in pr i n ciple with those they have now st i rred up the people to oppose. The other question has been answered, we regret to say, in the negative. It is neither de sirable nor just to conceal the fact that the popu larity of the Ministers has very much dimi nished. Something is due to their possession o f office. Government is, in its own nature, a tres pass on the natural rights and freedom of men, and those who have to administer it must, of necessity, frequently come into collision with in dividuals or bodies of men. To quote one instance. The powers of the Government were never, we believe, under similar circumstances, more leniently exercised than by the Whigs in the case of the Chartists. We know, as we have frequently before stated, that the leniency of the Government was ob jected to by many of its supporters. We do not say or think that the Chartists committed any offence ; but the law of England is a wide net with which barristers and judges can entangle almost every action. Neither do we say that the Whigs were as lenient as they might have been. We expressed a different opinion at the time, and we maintain that opinion now. Nevertheless we repeat, that, looking at the be haviour of previous :Ministers in similar circum stances, and looking at the behaviour of other Govermuents, the powers of Government were never more mercifully exercised. But though the Government only executed the law in no unjustifiable manner, the being obliged to execute it brought it into odium with a great body of the people. Other similar in stances might be quoted to illustrate the princi ple that to administer the Government neces sarily carries with it unpopularity; but these will suffice to explain one cause why the Minis ters are not so popular in 1841 as in 1836. Without entering into minute particulars, it is plain, that with the clergy, the landowners, the monopolists of all kinds, with those they have turned out, and those they have kept out of office, the Ministers must be unpopular. They are also unpopular with the Chartists and sonic • extreme Liberals. 1 hey ha: e yielded, it is thourrlyletoo much t o _ t h e Toriesi andhaveexcited b7t, apparent w . cu s, tA i es the contempt' of theiropp.onents, and the: titisl were entitled to some years ago.—(Applause.) He was not a commercial man,_ but he could not understand on what grounds a merchant could send out goods to take corn in return with a duty of 245. against him. There was not now a trade in corn ; but when we were pinched for it, and must have it, we were oblige& to send gold for it. If the duty were fixed, all persons could trade. He firmly believed that if a duty of from ten to eight shillings a quarter were fixed, prices would be much steadier, and general trade more flourishing. —(Cheers.) Seasons, they knew, must affect them to some extent ; but so it would all other countries at •times. He could not think the present law had done anything to regulate their prices, and no man could enter a farm with safety, nor could • the tradesman make a contract without risk, on account of the great fluctuation in corn.—(Hear, hear, and Applause.) - He had always treated it as a dangerous question, and that if they went wrong they could not speedily set themselves right again ; but they had now experience before them. He considered they had' now a reasonable chance of fixing a duty which might be maintained. He had for some time looked upon it that it must come, and this was the time to make the best bargain ; but if:the Tories obtained the Government, circumstances would be different, and the bargain would be a worse one for the farmers.—(Hear, hear.) Since 1829 there had been eleven millions of quarters of corn imported at the average duty of ss. 9d., and only a year ago the'ports were open at a shilling a quarter for two months, and therefore he could not understand where the danger was of inundating this country with corn ; it was not done at a shilling a quarter, and he could not understand how it could by possibility occur with a duty of Bs.—(Applause.) When we can add such practical men as Mr. SELMES and Mr. SMITH, to EarlFiTzwiwAm and the Earl of RADNOR, as opponents of the present system, we think it is impossible to have higher practical and theoretical authority connected with the land, to prove that no injury would be done to the farmer by the proposed Ministerial change. The remarks of Mr. SELMES, relative to the Poor-laws, are particularly deserving of the atten tion of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and that squad of politicians who tax the people's bread, because, as they say, they have unjustly taxed the land owners' rent. As these gentlemen are very anxious nicely to adjust, as they say, the burdens of the different classes, and •as they assign that as the pretext for the Corn-laws, why should they not proportion the bread-tax to the burdens on different land ? The poor-tax has been diminished in England —did they then have any thought of diminishing the bread-tax ? No. In Ireland, however, there was no poor-rate till very lately ; but the land lords of Ireland had an equal protection to the unjustly taxed, as is said, landlords of England. If the former received only justice then, they ought, now that a poor-rate is levied in Ireland, to have a higher tax laid on foreign corn, or in justice will now be done them. Again, in Scotland the poor-rates are little or nothing ; and why should Scotch grown corn be equally protected with corn grown in Sussex ? Of course, the same principle applies to the different counties, and even to different pa rishes ; and if the burdens of taxation be a valid reason of taxing bread, that ought to vary with every parish, probably, but certainly with every county, and with the three parts of the kingdom. There is, however, no possibility of giving protection to agriculture in proportion to its burdens in different parts of the kingdom, nor has the Legislature ever dreamed of such a thing. All the arguments, therefore, about the burdens of agriculture are mere after-discoveries or inventions, paltry pretexts to excuse a wrong, and gloze over an indefensible fraud. If the people's bread be taxed as a balance to the peculiar taxation thrown on the land, we call on those who assign that as a reason for the tax to adjust it according to the different burdens laid on the land in England, Scotland, and Ireland. The second part of the correspondence rela tive to the affairs of the Levant has just been published, with a view to its being laid before Parliament. It embraces the official corre spondence of the Ministers and agents of the Great Powers on the Eastern Question from the 15th of July, 1840, when the Treaty of London was signed, till the 2d of November, being three days posterior to the date of the downfall of the THIERS Cabinet. This correspondence will es tablish some facts very mortifying to some of our Ministerial Contemporaries, and not a little galling to the Tory traducers of the Govern ment. To begin with the Ministerialists. The Morning Chronicle has at this moment a corre spondent at Constantinople - who repeatedly as serted that everything we stated of the enmity borne by Lord PONSONBY to the Pasha of EGYPT was false, and the Editor of that Journal has more than once in a general way repeated that assertion. We were not then at liberty to quote our authority for the opinion we expressed, but we knew it to be too good to allow us to pay any attention to the contradictions of the Chronicle, though worded in such a way as to appear to emanate from the Foreign-office. From the correspondence before us, it appears that on the sth of September, 1840, MEHEMET ALI, alarmed at the success of the Allies on the coast of Syria, informed the Consuls of the Four Powers at Alexandria, through SAISI BEY, that "he had accepted the inheritance of Egypt out of deference to the decisions of the Four Powers, and to the orders of his benefactor the SULTAN ; but with regard to Syria his non-acceptance not being 'a refusal, his Highness considering his numerous services to the Ottoman Empire, is desirous of submitting a request on this subject, as well to his lawful Sovereign as to the Four Powers ; and he flatters himself that his Excellency RIFAT BEY (the Turkish Envoy) as well as the Consuls of the Four Powers, will have the goodness to communi cate it to their respective Courts." As the fleet was not given up, and the surrender unconditional, the Consuls refused to receive this communication, and only five days later we find Lord PONSONBY writing in the following furious strain to Lord PALMERSTON : for all people have either sided with it, or have abandoned in despair the active support of Mehemet Ali. But this state of domestic affairs may be altered if the Porte exhibits signs of fear, and this is another motive for the immediate deposition of Mehemet AIL The intrigues of Lord PONSONBY were so far success ful that the dccheance of MEHENET ALI was solemnly pronounced by the SULTAN, and read in the Mosque of San Sophia by the SHEIK-UL-ISLAM. His Lordship ap pears to have felt satisfied that he' had completely ex- anguished the I'AcHA. But he was not suffered to re main long under such a delusion. On the 15th of Oc tober Lord PALMERSTON addressed, the follOWine de spatch to Lord PoNsoNnv, in which his Lordship is quietly informed that he must set about undoing all that he had done against the PAcirx Her Majesty's Government having taken into consideration the act by which the Sultan deprived Mehemet Ali of the .Pa chalic of Egypt ; 'the bearings of that act upon the present' state of pending questions, and the course which it may be ex pedient to take thereupon, have invited the Representatives of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, at this Court, to submit to their respective Governments, that, undoubtedly, there is much force in the reasons which, according .to your Excellency's reports, induced the Sultan to take this step ; and that while, on the one-hand, this measure in no degree prevents the Sul tan from reinstating Mehemet Ali, if lie should speedily make his submission to his Sovereign; on the other hand, it may operate as a powerful instrument of a moral coercion upon Mehemet Ali, by making him aware, that. if the contest be tween him and his Sovereign should be prolonged, and if the issue of that contest should be unfavourable to him, he might lose all by his too obstinate resistance. That in this view, and in order to make the recent exercise of the sovereign authority of the Sultan useful towards effecting an early and satisfactory settlement of pending questions, it is the opinion of her Majesty's Government, that it would be ex pedient that the Representatives of the Four Powers at Con stantinople should be instructed to proceed to the Turkish Mi nister, and to state to him that their respective Governments, in pursuance of the stipulations of the 7th Article of the Sepa rate Act annexed to the treaty of 15th of July, beg strongly to recommend to the Sultan, that if Mehemet Ali should at an early period make his submission to the Sultan, and should agree to restore the Turkish fleet, and to withdraw his troops from the whole of Syria, from Adana, Candia, and the Holy Cities, the Sultan should not only reinstate Mehemet Ali as Pacha of Egypt, but should also give him an hereditary tenure in that Pachalic, according to the conditions specified in the Treaty of July, but liable, of course, to forfeiture by any infrac tion of those conditions on the part of Mehemet Ali or his suc cessors. Her Majesty's Government have reason to hope that this suggestion will meet the concurrence of dip Governments of Austria, Prussia , and Russia, and your Excellency will accord ingly take the steps pointed out in this despatch, as soon as your colleagues shall have, received corresponding instructions. ' If the_Sultan should, as her Majesty's Government cannot doubt, consent to act upon this advice when tendered to him by his Four Allies, it would be expedient that he • bould take immediate steps for making his gracious intentions, in thin re spect, known to Mehemet Ali; and your Excellency and Sir Robert Stopford should afford the 'I urkish Government any facilities which it may require for this purpose. This,'we think, for ever settles the question as to the personal hostility of Lord PONSONBY to the PACHA. Henceforth the readers of the Chronicle, and of the Globe, which repeated the statements of the Chronicle, will know what value to set upon their semi-official con tradictions of the statements of better-informed journals. The portion of this correspondence which will annoy the Tories, relates to the contradiction which it gives to the pompous war preparations of France, and the inferiority of our naval strength. Early in October Count IVALEwsKt, M. TRIERS'S friend, who had been sent to bully the Porte, had some of his gasconading remarks reported to Lord PALMERSTON by Lord PON SONBY. The answer of the noble Foreign Secretary is , dated the 27th of that month, and contains the• fol lowing passage. " I have to instruct your Excellency to state to the Porte that the language of Count WA LEWSKI, reported in your note of the 7th of October, was only meant to intimidate. France will offer no armed support to MEHEMET ALI, because, by so doing she would place herself in collision with the Four Powers ; and neither her army nor her navy are- strong enough for such a collision. By sea France inferior to England alone ' • but much more so to England and Russia united. By land she has not, with all her recent armaments, more than her full peace establishment under arms, and out of that force she is obliged to keep 60,000 melt in Algiers ; and therefore she has not; and could not, for many months to come, have a disposable force to undertake a war against all Germany and IZu3sio. But the retirement of M. TmEns and hiS colleagues from office is a pledge to Europe that France is not going to make war in defence of MEHEMET tV,I. All these con siderations,: however, ought only to be additional mo tives with the Porte for making the best use of the time present, and fur employing every possible effort to bring the war in Syria to a speedy and successful termination:" All comment upon this extract is unnecessary. ' It is, now evident that Lord PALMERSTON early penetrated the blustering character of M. TRIERS. We are net in the habit of making any comment upon speeches delivered on the hustings. We endeavour to report them faithfully, and leave those most interested to make their own comments. But we feel compel!ei to notice the presumptuous assertion of the Tories at the nomination of candidates for the county of Middlesex yesterday, as the matter passed under our own eyes. Mr. NEWDIGATE, in seconding the nomination of Mr. WOOD, took occasion to tell Mr. BYNG that he was there merely upon sufferance, that he was the tolerated 24ember for Mid dlesex. Mr. NEWDIGATE had the presumption further to . warn Mr. BYNG that there was a limit to toleration, and expressed hiS earnest hope that he woitill not again put them in the same painful situation—by whose sufferance or toleration Mr. BYNG still continues for the 15th time -Member for Middlesex, we are at a loss to know. We happen to know something of the county of Middlesex ourselves, and it is a fact, that, up to the latest moment, Mr. WooD and his Tory friends were trembling in their shoes for fear of a second candidate being started in con junction with Mr. BYNG, and we honestly think the Li beral party are highly to blame for not having taken this course. If Mr. NEWDIGATE thinks that the small portion of Tories upon the hustings yesterday, comprise the sense of the county of Middlesex, we tell him then he is wofully mistaken, and it must indeed be an obtuse intellect that could not be convinced in the stirring scene of yesterday which candidate was the choice of the meeting. Mr. BYNG, we •tell them, is fixed in the hearts of . the elec tors' of Middlesex, and he is safe in the hands of his friends. We were delighted to see this attempted attack repelled in a manly and spirited manner by Mr; SAMUEL WHITBREAD. The insurrection in Crete begins to excite so much interest in Paris, that our Contemporaries can no longer remain silent respecting it. Accordingly, the Chronicle of this morning breaks silence with the fol lowing attack on the brave Cretans : " We will yield to none in interest for the Greeks ; but we cannot approve of that abetting of their discontent which can lead merely to bloodshed, and to no other ulterior result. The upshot of the great Greek insurrection was to secure for the Greeks, by the intervention of European Powers, the tranquil possession of almost all their old country. The inde pendence even of this portion the Greeks would not have been able to maintain against Mussulman force, except by the sup port, military, naval, and diplhmatie, of the Christian Powers. But it was- not the intention of the Christian Powers to crush altogether the Mussulman population. And it would now be very unfair, after the recent settle ment of Greece, to come forward with a new crusade against the Turks. It would be not only unfair, but dangerous ; for Crete, if taken from the Turks, must be under the protee tim of some European Power. More than one would dispute it. And thus, from philanthropy towards Greece might spring a sanguinary war between the Europeans. In the settlement of Greece, Crete was not included in that kingdom, probably because the Turks had not been driven from it. And, perhaps, the inte rest towards the Greeks of the island was dimi nished by the known fact of their being the most audacious and relentless pirates of the . Mediterranean. It may be added that the experiment of a Greek island, under a Greek Prince, with especial privileges, but under Turkish suzerainty, did not at all succeed in the case of Samos. Per haps, then, the wisest efforts of the Philhellens should be di rected towards securing for the Greeks under Turkish sway such rights as the edict of Gulhane promises. We have strong hopes of the regeneration of Turkey, not by the Turks resuming their ancient supe r i or ity as an exclusive, tyranni cal, a n dconquering.race, but from a better amalgamation of races. But whether this takes place or not, the Greeks have more to gain at present by peace than by war ; for every year adds to i their force, whilst it diminishes the number of the Turks." We received on the 7th the accounts of what has taken place at Alexandria between Mehemet Ali, RiNt Bey, and the Con suls of the Four Powers. Your Lordship has all this matter before you, and I have only to state that Rechid Pacha un derstands the reply of Mehemet Ali to be a refusal. His Ex cellency sent his private secretary, Nedim Effendi, to me this morning, to make known the contents of a copy of a letter from Mehemet Ali to the Grand Vizier, the letter itself not having been sent from Alexandria. The contents are a mere repetition of the old story—application for the possession of all Syria, and boastings of services rendered to the Sublime Porte, and the often-repeated declarations of undeviating loyalty and devotion of Mehemet Ali to the Sultan. Nedim talked of affairs, and told me Rechid Pacha desired to depose Mehemet Ali. I desired him to assure Rechid Pacha that I thought the measure not only advisable but necessary, and that I was in correspondence with my colleagues on the subject. Last night I had a long conversation with the Internuncio, and after examining the question with me, his Excellency seemed to concur in my view of the necessity for depriving Mehemet Ali of his post of Governor of _Egypt ; anci.his Ex cellency had the goodness to undertake to communicate with our colleagues this day, if I would write a note to his Ex cellency statin , my opinion, and referring to the conversa tion we had then been engaged in. I have done so this day. and will report the result if I learn it in time for the estafette. I observed to the Internuncio (and I had previously held similar language to M. de Titow and Count Konigsmarck), that unless Mehemet Ali be deprived of the post he holds by the authority of the Sultan, there must be incongruity and confusion in the state of affairs. Mehemet Ali, being the legal Governor of Egypt, has the right to issue orders to the Egyptians, who, on their part, have no right to examine into the tendency of those orders, and they may be, and will be, directed against the Sultan's authority, so that the authority of the Sultan is to be employed against the authority of the Sultan, and the obedience of the subject is to be called for to sup port disobedience to that Power which they (the subjects) are ordered to obey. The deposition of Mehemet An is necessary to place a block ade upon its proper footing. It will be something worse than absurd for the Sultan to order a blockade of his own port, that port being continued by the Sultan under the Government of the man whose conduct is the reason for establishing the blockade. And there may possibly arise cases of difficulty with foreign nations from the strange nature and novelty of the blockade. The Convention provides for the present suppression by force of the transporting by sea, troops and military stores from Egypt into Syria, and that work has been performed. Mehe met Ali, in Egypt, has no longer anything to fear from the Allies, and may rest quiet there, exempt from the pressure of a blockade which would probably ruin him. The Sultan alone can order a blockade, and I have shown that he cannot order one consistently with common sense or with his own dignity, unless he shall depose Mehemet AU. There are other and various reasons why the deposition should take place, and one very powerful, which is, the vast importance attached by the Turkish station to a solemn act of the sort done by the Sultan. 'lhis was shown the other day in the case of the deposition of the Pachas of Syria, which was held to be almost a decision of that question, because people are accus tomed to believe that such a formal exercise of the sultan's power implies a confidence on his part in his possession of the means as well as the right to execute the law. The refusal of Mehemet Ali to accept the Convention is not expres,ed in words alone. His acts have declared it, for he has not delivered the fleet to the Sultan's envoy ; he has not given orders to restore Syria, both having been made in the Conven tion nominatively conditions to be observed by Mehemet Ali within the period of time therein specified. The Turks will in a very few days have 10,000 regular troops ready to be sent to reinforce the 5,600 men already gone to Cyprus. f The bubble of M e h emet A l i ' s threats to marc h lb ra • him 's army to the gates of Constantinople has burst ; and it is evident that Ibrahim and Solyman have enough to do to main tain themselves in security in Syria. The Porte ought to take awe) , the chance upon which Me hemet Ali relies for his escape from his present peril. The Porte has nothing to fear, and it is not exposed any longer even to a threat of attack ; and there is no'sort of dornestie 'danger) • Some twenty-four years - ag© the -Chronicle-urged the same prudential reasons, and others still stronger, against the insurrection of the Greeks of the , Morea ; and had the gallant HYPSILANTIS, 4 50T1R1, KHARALAMPI, MAX ROCORDATOS, NEGRIS, COLETTI, BOTZARIS, and CA NARIS in 1823 listened to the sage counsels of their pseudo friends among the Liberal press in England, there would . have been;be no Great Powers to guarantee the freedom of their, country in 1827. ~_The chronicle ought to blush to remind the Greeks that they owe their independence to the interference of the Great Powers, in the face of the well-known fact that but for the bad faith of these Powers towards the Patriots, and the indi rect assistance which they lent the SULTAN, the Greeks would have achieved their independence unaided three years at least before they succeeded in for ever casting from them the Ottoman yoke. If the Great Powers delivered Greece by what the Duke of WEL LINGTON described as an " untoward event,' the destruc tion of the Turkish fleet at Navarino in: 1827, we Must not forget that British interference saved that fleet by protecting it in the canal of Corfu in 1823. Only a few weeks after the inhuman massacre by, the Turks of 20,000 of the peaceable inhabitants of the;lshind of Chios ; under the protection of the ladies of the lmperial Seraglio ! In the excess of its caution the Chronicle passes in review the dangers that would arise from placing the in dependent Cretans under the protection of any of the Great Powers. This is a difficulty surmountable at very little risk. When the proper tims arrives, we 'shall be quite ready to discuss it. The Chronicle is at all times eloquent about the rightS secured to the Christian subjects of the Porte by , the hatti scheriff of Gulhane. Our Contemporary' ktiOWS very little about the Turks if he supposes that the habits engendered by centuries of domination are removable by a paper edict bearing the signature of ABD-UL-MEDJID. They are in Europe the same fanatical, ignorant, cruel race that they ever were from the period when they, first gained a footing in it. Nor could the Cretans choose a better time for asserting , their independence than when all Europe is a witness of the barbarity and want of good faith of the Turks in Syria. Moreover the Cretans would have long since proclaimed their freedom had not their chains been riveted by the iron despotism of MEtizmET Au. In deprivinmhe VICEROY of the. government ,of the island the SULTAN virtually extinguished the sway of the )loslems in Crete. To the gallant Cretans, then, we with every success ! In Europe the Crescent must henceforth yield to the Cross, and GOD forbid that we should be found arrayed against the oppressed elevators of that sacred banner in a cause so worthy of Heaven's protection as that of liberty. The efforts which the Cretans are making for their independence 'in the field THE SUN, LONDO', THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1841 are thus summed up in a letter from Athens of the 15th ult. : " The war has increased into an inveterate conflict in the mountains of Spakia. On the 4th the Turks who had entered on these heights were .suddenly attacked in the rear, and all their courage was inadequate to defend them from the masses of stones which were hurled down upon them from the sum mits by their.olmost invisible enemies. A detachment of 300 Arabs was, as it were, engaged / between two inaccessible cip mountains, and forced to surren.' The insurgents estimate their own losses upon this day.at from 300 to 400 men, but make that of the Mussultsawg, including prisoners, amount to between 1,000 and 1.200. On the 13th another battle was fought with great fury. The attack was general. At one moment the Turks gained several advantageous positions, from which, however, they were afterwards dislodged by the intre pidity of their opponents, and obliged to fall back on Vassa. The Christians have now four guns. On the 14th there were some slight skirmishes without any consequential results. The deserters from the garrisons of the Peloponnesus to Candia continue to be numerous, and among them are said, to bese veral Germans." Nor do the Cretans rely Wholly upon, their own re sources against the whole weight and fury of the Turk4ll empire. The following correspondence, which we copy from the columns of the Debats, manifests the extent to which they calculate upon the sympathy of the , Christian States—sympathy which we trust-will not'be _withheld from them. They must conquer or perish, as from the Turks it would be madness for them to expect Mercy, were all Europe to unite in guaranteeing it to. them 1- 4' TO THE MEMBERS OF THE OLD GREEK .

" GENEVA, JUNE 30. • " Gentlemen and former Colleagues, " It is a duty for me to inform you immediately of the letter I have this instant received from the Cretan Commission. Time not permitting me to write to each of you individually, I take the liberty of addressing my letter to the Journal des Dcbats, which will, I hope, give it insertion. _ " It appears to me impossible, gentlemen, to remain deaf to the cries of distress of these unhappy people. If European policy cannot, on account of its engagements with the Porte, come to their assistance, let the feeling of humanity which exists in the bosoms of the people replace that which their Go vernments cannot do. Insurrection of all kinds is to be.de plored ; but as that has taken place, and the vengeance of the Turks is ready to massacre Christians who only ask for their, liberty and independence, ought we not to assist them ? Let us again, gentlemen, term philanthropic Committees ; Christian Sovereigns cannot blame, and if they once allowed us to assist the Greeks, would they now oppose our efforts to save the Christians of the east ? " Th,e l , circumstantial details which I have received, and which I shall hive the honour of laying before yoti, prove that the unfortunate Cretans will he treated with the most frightful barbatitykif !hey yield; the massacres which were perpetrated in Crete after the Greek revolution, shows the fate reserved for the inhabitants of that island. In concluding this letter, I permit myself to invite all the ancient Committees of France, Germany. and Switzerland, who are interested in the cause of the Greeks, to again unite, in order to send assistance to the oppressed Christians.—Accept, Gentlemen, &e., ~ J. G. EYNARD." " TO M. EYNARD. "Monsieur le Chevalier,—Your name is ever connected with the enfranchisement of Greece, and whenever the Greek peo ple, who are still under the Ottoman yoke, shall seek to break it, they will throw towards you and your cellegues of the Com mittee of Pails their suppliant looks, certain to find noble and generous sympathies among those who have done so much to procure the freedom of Greece. " You will already have heard of the holy insurrection of the Christian inhabitants of the island of - Crete ; the cares which we have been compelled to give to our unhappy brethren about to suffer all the horrors of a war of extermination, or to rise from a state of the most abject servitude, have alone pre. vented us from making known to you immediately the resolu tion of the Cretans, and the events which have been the con. sequenc-s of it. " To spare the recital of details, which from their having taken place have lost much of their importance, we take the liberty of sending you annexed an account of this new insur ►ection of the Cretans, and of the causes which have brough it about. We entreat you, Sir, at the same time, as well as all your illustrious colleagues of the Committee of Paris, to take our cause in hand, to raj -0 in our defence those powerful voices. which brought about the general movement which electrified Europe in our favour. " Since the publication of the memoir which we have smt you, blood has been spilt in several places, and our unfortunatelcountrymen, although deprived of arms and ammunition, have sustained with heriosm the first efforts of our enemy, who, stimulated by an infernal policy, have flocked in their troops, hoping to drown in the blood of the Christians every sentiment of liberty, and, by their celerity of action, to prevent the great powers having time to interfere. . . " Let the friends of humanity, let those who, like you and your colleagues, havei acquired immortal claims to the grati tude of the .(reeks, counteract, by the promptitude and efficacy of their steps, the plans which tend to the destruction of an heroic people, so unjustly sacrified in 1830. "We conclude, Sir, by informing your colleagues of the Committee of Paris of our letters we conjure them to grant us once more their powerful protection, and to raise their voices and your own in favour of unhappy Christians, and to accept beforehand the expression of the gratitude and respec of your humble servants, (Signed) " M.

" Athens, May 28 (June 9 1841)." We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Tuesday. Most of their leading articles relate to the election contests in this country ; and, truth to say, the reports of, bribery among us have obtained for us a hearty mud-pelting from the immaculate Liberals of the Paris Press. But missiles from such a distance, and such a quarter affect John Bull less than the Lilliputian archery did the spectacle-defended eyes of the immortal GULLIVER. amounfof the loan, which we have seen viriotsly estimated at fi4mi 36,900,000 to 60;000,000 florins. • The Temps .says :—" '1 here is much talk of a failure for 3,000,000 f. by one of the first banking-houses of Paris, which would also take away 500,000 f. from another banking-house, which is always mixed up with these sinister financial ru mours. But, fortunately for this houv, the present, like all the former reports spread to its prejudice, are unfounded, and have not 'shaken its credit. The firm which has stopped pay ment is the respectable house of Pierre, •Hugues, Verninac, and Co. - • But although little is said upon the subject we begin to perceive that, as brother -JONATHAN would say, mat ters are wearing an ugly look between France and England in the Mediterranean. The former Power has long been hankering after the Island of Majorca ; and for the last three years she has been seeking, under various pre tences, to establish a protectorate over the Regency of Tunis, with a view to extend her African con quests in that direction, As England is not yet disposed to suffer France to convert the Mediterranean into a French lake, her GoVernment has kept a watch ful eye ; upon every proceeding of France in that quarter, and repeatedly called the attention of Spain to the defenceless condition of the Balearic Isles. We may presume that, as regarded the Regency of Tunis, England was not less explicit in making the Porte ac quainted with her views. In the Constitutionnel of Tues day, we find the following letter from Tunis, dated the 13th of June, from which it would appear that the Porte, aware of the intrigues which the BEY is carrying on with France, is prepared to take measures to enforce the allegiance of his vassal. The truth or false hood of the report about the " fitting out of a Turkish squadron to reduce the BEY to obedience, rests entirely upon the correspondent of the Con stitutionnel. We only know for certain that France Meditates wresting from Spain the island of Majorca, and that she will not, succeed in doing so without perilling the peace of Europe. As this is a British question we can speak of it with the more confidence. Now for the Tunis Correspondence of M. TEI.EA: organ :--- The Turkish Government is on the point-of .repeating the attempt, which it made without succemsnn Tunis, All the letters from Constantinople, written by Turks to theirif.Ja tions and friends at Tunis, agree in stating that an expedition against the Regency has been resolved on in the Council of Ministers. Letters from Malta announce that several English men-of war were waiting for the arrival of the Turkish squadron to join it, and to come here to favour the landing of the Sultan's troops. The Bey, who ,has been aware of the projects of the Sublime Porte, is regularly informed by his agent of the preparations which are making against him; and without any hope of resisting by force the projects of the Sul tan, supported by Lord Palmerston, he is endeavouring, by an anticipated submission by presents, and lately by compliance with the desires of England, to resist the blow which threatens him, or, at the least, to- act so that the conditions to be imposed on him, shall be less severe. Accor dingly, he has just despatched to Constantinople a brig, loaded with presents for the Sultan, the Minister, and the Members of the Divan. Such is the cause of the loss of the influence of Fiance here, and of the change in the policy of the Bey with respect to us. However we can affirm that the Bey is more inclined to France than to England, and his conduct hitherto sufficiently proves this. " if the destiny which Lord Palmerston is preparing for the Re gency of Tunis be realised, what will become of the debt due to us, and above all, what will become of Algeria? We shall have no alternative but either to evacuate or to double our force there, in order to maintain our possessions, and to suppress the continual - Uneasiness which the Turks and the Engl sh will not Tail to excite." _ Since the arrival of General Bugeaud in Algeria, the mer chants of Turin have received large orders for oxen, and the Bey has hastened to prohibitthe exportation. But as this general mea sure affected also the trade with Malta, which imports all its oxen from this quarter, means have been found to evade the decree in favour of the English, and recently a rich Mus sulman, Ben Hyet, has exported 200 oxen to Malta, under a pretence that he was making a 'Present of them; It is Fro bable that. other presents of the same kind will follow the first, in order to 'show that this prohibitory decree was only against the French. He had also'had here within the last two two months, a Captain of Cavalry, M. de Lacombe, on a mis sion to procure -horses - for the cavalry, and although there is abundance of horses in the country, the Bev would only grant a permission for the exportation of ten. .This fact is the more remarkable, as on the last five occasions of purchasing horses for the French cavalry, before the arrival of M. de Lacombe, all the horses wanted were puteliascti at from 250 to 350 francs each. Informed of the refusal of the Bey, General Begeaud Wrote to himself to request hint to give more extension to his lcscheret (permission), and he then permitted the exportation of fifty horses ; but the Bey totik care first to communicate the letter to the English Comitd, and to ask his advice on the subject." 10f general news there is an absolute dearth in the Frbnch Papers. The following paragraphs interesting tot ommercial readers relieve them from absolute ste rility : litisstAx LOAN.—" The sixteen millions of florins,' says the Siecle, " Which the house •of Hope and Co. has sent into the market at Amsterstam, belong to the last series of the loan contracted by Russia two months ago. The disposal of this series has not been so ready nor so easy as usual, because it has got rumoured about, and designedly, that the Russian Government.- was shortly going to contract a new loan , of 80 millions of francs. This loan will bo made, it is said, in the name of the provinces of the former kingdom of Po:and, because Russia foresees the possibility of a case arising in which, as the consequence of a- partition of Turkey , this part of Poland might be. ceded to Prussia, who would then settle as she liked about thii loan, which wilrbe Polish only in name:" The price of the New Austrian Five he: -Cent: Leati is said by the Cologne Gazette, to be, in reality. a little under the np nunal price, iO-11, on account of the benefits.granted,in the cdntractors.

Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Espinnasse conducted the prosecu tion, and Mr. ClarkFon and Mr. Phillips defended the prisoners. It appeared that the prisoners were driving a gig through the Hackney-road on the 22d of June last, and the deceased, with other boys, was playing. As the gig came up the de ceased ran across the road to go home. The gig was going at a moderate rate and was behind a carrier's cart. The de ceaied ran between the cart and the gig, and the horse in the gig struck him with his knee, by which he was knocked down and, was conveyed insensible to a surgeon, and it was discovered that he had received a fracture of the skull. There were three perSCl?g in the gig, but the person, who it was supposed by the witnesses to ?iaye been . driving, was not apprehended. The prisoners were both ntoxicated, but the other person was not. Mr. CLARKSON having addressed the Jury, The Learned JUDGE suminNi up, stating that it was for the Jury to say whether the death of the boy was occasioned by the negligence and carelessness of the prlsner. There was no evidence to show that either of them was dri.:;ng. The Jury, after a short consultation, returnee' t. verdict of Not Guilty.

GREAT BATTLE. •—••• As the steward on Wooden Onstead, Roxburghshire, was employed a. few clays ago, in a turnip-field belonging to Captain Scott, he was fiercely attacked by no less than seven 'ferocious weazels.: . They leaped upon his person, and attempted to' get at his faco and throat, but, after a conflict which lasted several minutes, the man suceeNled not only in re- Oiling, .but in killing the whole number.
