FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. CONSTANTINOPLE, Our. 10.—Ali Pacha and his contests with the ( Porte are still the chief sub jects of conversation; and the attention of the public is the more excited because the last dis patches from the Turkish Generals excited an expectation that the struggle would be soon ter minated ; but it now seems as if Ali would hold out to the last extremity, to save his life and li berty. We have positive intelligence, that having retired with SOt) men into the Castle of Janina (as has been already announced), he has destroyed a great part of the city by the effects of his nu merous heavy artillery, and blowing up mines, and has done the besieging army considerable in jury. Baba Peldivan Pacha (Commander in Chief of the Turkish troops) and Pascho Bey Ishmail Paella (Ali's successor in the Pachalik of Janina) have found it necessary to solicit a rein forcement of meji.and artillery. The Pacha of SalonichiliasalreAo' joined them, and heavy bat tering cannon anfl ammunition of all kinds are embarking; with all speed at Tophanan (the can non foundery). The Pacha of Egnibos (Negro port) has received orders to place all his artillery at the disposal of the * Turkish besieging army'. These measures are adopted in consequence of an autograph letter addressed by the Sultan to •the Grand Vizier, conceived' in very serious and urgent terms. The whole family and relations of Ali Paella have in a most humble memorial in the Creek language, implored the clemency of his Sublimity, and declared they would submit unconditionally to the will olthe Sultan, as be fore -expressed, and would take up their abode at their father's native town, Tepedecendi. This request has been provisionally granted. Ali Pacha, in order to render escape impossible, has had the gates of the Castle Walled up. Four Beys have, however, ventured to let themselves down by the walls of the fortress; one of them lost his life in this hazardous attempt, but the other three arrived in Pehlivan Paella's camp. According to their account the situation of theii late• master becomes every •day more desperate, and the mo ment May not be distant when he will close his extraordinary career under 'the daggers of his most decided adherents and partizans. Several _Armenians, implicated - in the attempt to murder.their Patriarch,,have lately been exe cuted at Constantinople : among them was a rich banker, , and an old man above 80, and several priests ; all the others are sent into exile. The accounts respecting the public health of the capitalare extremely satisfactory ; traces. of infection, however, still manifest. themselves in several parts of Albania and Dalmatia. VIENNA, .Nov. I.—A great deal is said of the proposals made by Prince Metternich at the opening of Me Congress at Troppau ; and if 'what is reported of them be true, they are well worthy the attention of all Europe. The Aus trian Minister, It is said, has laid down as a principle the-invariable stability of the existing political systems and order of things, founded on the faith of Treaties in the several .European States, in such a manner that no single Govern ment maT ,arrogate to itself the right to make a change in them without the consent of the others; especially When such change effected by one Government would evideutly be to the pre judice of another Government. If such a case hap pens, there would beonly two means dictated by policy to the A llied Powers—to maintain the exist ing order of thing-s in Europe,or to re-establish it in case of need: The first would be, by conclusive but energetic measures, either by negociation-or force of arms, to induce the Government which had made this change, in opposition to the in terests of the others, to give upthe new system, and return to the old one. If this means, which seems the_ most simple, should not be adopted, or should prove unsuccessful, there would remain only the second means to avert the evils with which Europe would be menaced by the propa gation of the revolutionary spirit, which would be to employ measures like those long since used against the plague, and to establish a kind of quarantine against the countries in which that dangerous spirit of revolution unhappily prevails. HAmnuaGir, OCT. 28.-111 the last meeting of the citizensit was resolved to continue the pre sent. system of custom duties for only six months longer, and to draw up in the mean time a new one, more suitable , to the general wish and to the interests of our commerce. A chief object will be to considerably diminish the import and ex port duties, and to remove every thing arbi trary in the administration of this important de partment. VIENNA, Nov. 4.—An official notice has been issued, stating, that" in consequence of an agree meat between the Government and the Directors of the privileged National Bank, the funds arising from the loan of thirty-seven millions and a half of florins in convention money, which were ex clusively destined to redeem the paper currency, and henceforward placed at the dispoSal of the National Bank for that purpose ; but as on the one hand the Directors - of the Bank are not in a situation to want the whole receipt of their sums in the Course of the following year, and on the other hand, will not withdraw any capitals from commerce and circulation before it is necessary to employ. them for the above-mentioned pur pose, the following regulations have been adopt ed respecting the payments of the ,said loan," &c.—(Herefollow the details of this Ordinance under t orhead s.] BrueSsELs, Nov. 13.—The Captain of an Ame rican vessel which left the Straits of Sunda, says, the great expedition to reduce the Sultan of Pa lembang, sailed from Batavia the 31st of July. ROME, 2.l.—Signor Bergami is now in this capital. When her Majesty the Queen of England took leave of him . at St. Omer's, she gave him, for his past!services, an annuity of 8001. sterling, and a second annuity of 3001. sterling for his daughter Victorine, whom he has left in a boarding school at Paris. He will fix his .re-.' sidence at Pesaro, where he has purchased the villa formerly the residence of his Royal Mistress with the money received for the Villa Barona, which he has sold. FOR TILE SUN. ILLUMINATIONS. Mn, EDITOR,---The old Government of France was sometimes accused of causing Paris to be illuminated, in order to keep the people in the dark; rejoicing when they ought to have mourn ed. The Mob-governors of London take still more extraordinary measures; they illtneate the town to keep themselves in the dark. For what light can be.thrown upon any question by a forced illumination ? Had not the peril of their windows forced the inhabitants to light up, the town would have made but a dingy appearance upon a late extraordinary occasion. What sub ject of joy could it afford to any reasonable mind, that the most exalted Personage but one in the State was for ever stigmatized, in the face .of t ,. • mankind, by a decided majority of the high, Judicature in the country—by the most august Court of J udges in the world ? That pu nishment is not pursued or urged, can afford but a trifling consolation to a mind of any delicacy ; the guilt is stamped distinctly, and stamped in delibly, to all posterity. But a man's windows are of course the most vulnerable part of his house ; and a few glaziers' apprentices can do more mischief in an hour, than their masters can repair in a week. In the public streets, therefore, a natural feeling for his panes led many a housekeeper to illuminate, who, if left to the movements of his own mind, would rather have extinguished his common lights, than have given the smallest colour to so base an imposition, as that of declaring a person acquitted who was clearly and decisively pro nounced guilty. Yet even a Magistrate was found, foolish or factious enough to advertise that he in tended to illuminate 'on this wretched occasion, thereby giving encouragement, and almost ex cuse, to every outrage that followed. Well may we lament the depravity of such times, w hen wives are all to be told that retaliation to the utmost extent is perfectly laudable, if a husband fail in any of his duties ; when all the world is to be told, that the English Public has no regard for the honour of their SovEacios's Wife, but can triumph in her disgrace, so long as she is not to suffer the just consequences of it. Knaves say, and fools believe, that the QUEEN is acquitted. Would it were so! Spon taneously would I illuminate, and many thou sands with me, if this could be established as a truth. But because the populace will neither hear evidence, nor believe it when given—be cause faction circulates falsehoods, and factious news-writers, enveloped in tenfold brass, an nounce the proofs of innocence, when they know the contrary to be confirmed, am I therefore to assume the face of joy, and give the lie to my feelings and my conscience, to please a. senseless mob ? If this be not tyranny, I know not what deserves the name and the only good I can see in it is this, that it gives a glaring proof what mob-government would be, and chews distinctly what kind of liberty we should enjoy under the auspices of Radical Reformers. The liberty .of doing what they please, however grievous to our selves, at the hazard of property, safety, and life itself, if we should dare to avow our honest senti ments ! Let us then, in the name of wisdom, have Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage, to bring about this blessed end ! Let the old Major be proclaimed our Protector, and CAM, FRANCIS, and ROBERT, his Privy Council. So shall our lights shine, when they ought to be ex tinguished; and LIBERTY be enjoyed in name, when SLAVERY is fixed upon us! LUX. FOR THE SUN. SHO REDITCH. Mn. EDITOR—I have to thank you for insert ing the few lines which I addressed to you on Saturday, respecting a recent meeting of some of the inhabitants of Shoreditch Parish, and, in consequence of your remark, beg to mention, that the report of the proceedings I read in The Morning Chronicle, and on referring to that Paper find it was a Mr. SUGO, who moved that her MAJESTY'S • Answer to the Address of the Parish should be elegantly engrossed, fram ed, and hung up in a conspicuous part of the Church ; and as you mention that you " trust " the Clergyman of the Parish will interfere to 44 prevent such a monstrous desecration," I think it proper to remark, that according to The Morn ing Chronicle the Rev. Mr. PIERCY was present at the Meeting, moved an Address to the QUEEN, and, according to his words, as reported, on " the Triumph of Virtue over Vice, of Inno cence over Persecution." If Mr.PIERCY is the Clergyman of the Parish, the respectable part of the Parishioners should enter their formal Protest against the . defilement of the walls of their Church, as proposed by Mr. SUGG. •. - London, Nov. 20, i R 20. A CONSTANT READER. ROYAL ACADEMY.—A. CARLISLE, Esq. last evening, delivered his second Lecture on Anato my, at the Royal Academy. The subject of the Discourse was the human Bones, which the learned Professor illustrated by frequent refe rences to the skeleton. At the conclusion, Mr. CARLISLE was much applauded by his auditors, which were numerous, exclug'ive of the students, most of whom were present. A Correspondent informs us e that an illumina tion took place at Monmouth on Wednesday last, which was attended with disgraceful riots. A vast multitude was assembled from the populous vicinity of the town. The fronts of several- re spectable houses were materially injured, and further acts of violence would probably have fol lowed, had not the mob been repressed by the spirited exertions of some of the loyal inhabi tants, whose lives and property were endangered, and who received, it is said, very little aid from the Civil Authorities.—(New Times.) On Wednesday, Mr. JEFFREY was elected Rector of the University of Glasgow by great majorities in each of the four nations. Mr.FIN LAY was the other candidate. EARL SHEFFIELD. Although we are convinced that every member of those numerous classes of the community whose interests have been protected and secured by the writings of this excellent and patriotic I.ohleman, must have rea4 \kith indignation the. attack upon his Lordship by The Morning Chro nicle, which we noticed yesterday and on Friday last, and though we are, convinced that such base and unfounded insinuations can never in the least degree detract from that high character which Lord SHEFFIELD bears in the country, we cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of contrasting the terms of respect in which the late Mr. Gin- BON, the Historian, mentions the abilities and literary acquirements of his Lordship, with the calumny attempted to be propagated by The Morning Chronicle. The following is an extract from Mr. GIBBON'S Journal:-- " The character of my friend (Mr. Holroyd)- had -recom mended him to a Seat in Parliament for Coventry, the com mand of a Regiment of Light Dragoons; and an Irish Peerage. The sense and spirit of his political writings have decided the Public on the great questions of our Commercial Interest with America and Ireland. The sale sif his observations on the American States was diffusive, their effect beneficial ; the Navigation Act, the Palladium of Britain, was defended, and perhaps saved, by his pen; and he proves, by the weight of fact and argument, that the mother Country may survive and flourish after the loss of America. My friend has never cul tivated the arts of composition ; but his materials are copious and correct, and he leaves on his paper the clear impression of an active and vigorous mind. His " Observations on tl e :frade, Manufactures, and present State of Ireland," were intended to guide the industry, to correct the prejudices, and to assuage the passions of a country which seemed to forget that she could be free and prosperous only by a friendly eon. 'action with Great Britain. The concluding Observations are written with so much ease and spirit, that they may be read by those who are! the least interested in the subject."— (Gibbons Misc. Works, I vol. p. 25G, Bvo. Edit.) In a Letter from Mr. GIBBON to Lord SUM* FIELD, dated Lausanne, July 29., 1786, he says, that his Lordship's " Treatise on the American " Trade has been read, judged, approved, and " reported."—Again, he observes, 44 All that I " have seen must do you honour, and might do 44 , the Public service : you are above the trifling " decorations of style ; but your sense is strong, " your views impartial, and your industry laud " able. I find that your American Tract is just 44 translated into German." We have already mentioned the fact, that Col. HoLnoyn never did publish a Pamphlet on the Commercial Treaty with France, and the above Extracts from the Miscellaneous Works of Mr. GtunoN chew, that in the estimation of the first Scholar and Writer of the age, such works as Lord SHEFFIELD did publish, were calculated to do him honour, and the country service; and, indeed, Lord SHEFFIELD'S efforts in support of the Navi gation Laws, and that system of Colonial and Commercial polioy which has been the main spring of all our wealth and prosperity, it is uni versally acknowledged have gained him the re spect and gratitude of every well-wisher to his country ; and, from our personal knowledge, we can assert that, amongst several of the most Ira• luable classes of the oommunity, his Lordship is deservedly held in the highest esteem. How base, then, must that Writer be who travels out of his way to malign the charadter of such an in dividual, and to rob him of the reward of his ex ertions in the public cause, by Insinuating that he had assumed to himself the credit of a Work to which he was not entitled Ilow the Writer in The Chronicle connects any circumstances which he supposes attended the publication of any Work of Lord SIIEF FIELD'S on a Commercial Treaty with the manner in which his Lordship thought it right, on a late occasion, to exercise those privileges which 1w enjoys as a Peer of Parliament, we are at a loss to conceive ; but we are tempted to believe that this ungenerous slanderer is influenced by other feelings and motives, than that zeal which he pretends to feel in the cause of injured Majesty and persecuted Innocence ; and that he has fa bricated this story about Lord SIIF.FFIELD'S Essay on the Commercial Treaty with France because his views have been thwarted, and speculative theories and visionary schemes of his have been confuted and exposed 44 by the weight of fact and argument" adduced by his Lordship, and that hence only springs the virulence and acrimony with which he has attacked the late conduct of the Earl of SHEFFIELD. We repeat that we consider the attack as impotent as it is malicious, and that we are only induced to refer to it that we may have the pleasure of shewing that the high opinion which we in common with every man connected with the Shipping and Co lonial Interests entertained of the services which Lord SHEFFIELD has rendered the Country by his writings, sanctioned by that eminent and ele gant Historian, Mr. GIBBON, than whom no man was ever better qualified to form a right estimate of the abilities and characters of his contempo raries. 21st November ; .

There can be no doubt that a great portion °( the popularity which attends the QUEEN 1S to be ascribed to that incredulity with which the alle gations against her are considered by all libera l minds, that feel themselves so wholly incapab le of the imputed conduct, as to suppose itunna . tural and impossible. But too much of it mus t certainly be attributed, we lament to say, to per" sonal hatred to his MAJESTY, much also to the 0 5 of Revolutionists, who make use of her nucil l as the mere tool of their ambition, and hope t t) rise on the ruins of the Monarchy. Unhappily those who style themselves THE WHIGS, and Nirlia may be denominated a Party, but, we trust, to t a Faction, and who do not seek the destructi on of the present form of Governinent, promote the designs of the more desperate Enemies of 1 115 CONSTITUTION in Church and State, apparentlf persuaded, though with the French Revolution before their eyes, that they shall escape amid st the general ruin. This Party, by their writing/ and their 'speeches in Parliament and in Clubs' assist the cause of the Revolutionists, and us e THE QUEEN for their own purposes, merely vi j ib the hope of overturning Ministers and seatiog themselves in their places: As a proof that this is really their object, we can assure our Reader s that one of the leading men of the Party, 'a fed days ago, speaking the language of this Party' said, " The best thing the QUEEN could do would be to go abroad, but we must keep her here." We leave the People to draw their (o' 3 inference in estimating the true nature of th e support which TUE QUEEN receives from th is tribe of patriotic Politicians.
