~~-~-~ ..-~ +' f • TWEETING! OF THE - DELEGATES - OF THE METROPOLITAN PARISHES UPON TIIE ASSESSED TAXES. On Wednesday night a numerous meeting took place at the Quadrant Hotel, St. James's, of the Parech:al Committees from various parishes in the metropolis, re lative to the efforts now making to obtain the Repeal of the Assessed Taxes. Mr. Hancock was i❑ the Chair. lt appeared that a memorial on the subject had been in trusted to Sir J. C. Hobhouse, with a view of his laying it officially before Lord Althorp, and ascertaining the intentions of Government. Sir John was present at the meeting, and he said that it would be recollected, that when he received the memorial from a deputation, he did not think he should obtain a positive 'answer from Lord Althorp. He, however, attended his Lordship, and impressed upon his mind the importance of the sub ject : and the answer of the Noble Lord was a mere formal assurance that be would attend to the requests of the memorialists. He (Sir J. C. Hohhouse), in consequence, told the gentlemen of the deputation, that they must take their own steps.—(Hear.) When the question was brought before Parliament (continued Sir John Cam Hohhouse), it must be decided according to Cocker—(A laug,h)—i. e., according. to numbers. Toe great strength of those interested in this question lay in the metropolitan boroughs; for in many of the northern districts, the matter, important as it undoubtedly was, had not even been mooted by the voters to those who welr candidates for their suffrages. In Yorkshire, for instance, the candidates were not questioned at all upon this point, and in many other places it was the same. The farmers in the country were, to be sure, indifferent upon the sub ject to a certain extent, because the taxes in question did not affect them so materially as many other assessments. It had, be understood, been said that Ministers must either procure the repeal of the assessed taxes or go out of office ; but this, he thought, was an alternative which the think ing portion of the public would not wish to impose upon them. A Reformed Parliament had been obtained, and there could be little doubt that with time all that the public desired would be accomplished. It would be fur them to elect which would be the most judicious course, to submit for a time longer to the imposts complained of, or to cause the present Administration to retire.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BROWN made a few observations, and Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE suggested that possibly the repeal of one of the taxes would give satisfaction. This obser vation was answered by loud cries of " No, no—both, both." A resolution in furtherance of the objects of the meet ting was then put and carried, to;,:ether with votes of thanks to Sir J. C. Ifobhouse and the Chairman. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Westminster will be shortly convened, and all the Members of the me tropolitan boroughs will be invited to attend, and some influential Member will be requested to bring forward a motion for the repeal of the taxes, within seven days front the meeting of Parliament. PUBLIC DINNER TO MR. HUME AT HAMPSTEAD. Yesterday the Friends of Reform, Economy, and Re trenchment, met to celebrate the triumphal return of Mr. Hume as their representative in Middlesex, by a public dinner at Jack Straw's Castle, Hampstead, at which that gentleman was invited to be present. At half past five o'clock the Chair was taken by John Kelly, Esq., sup ported on his right by Mr. Hume, and on his left by Sir John Scott Lillie. Amongst those present we observed Dr. Snow, of Hampstead, Dr. Davis, Mr. Adams, Mr. James, Mr. Holm. After the cloth was removed, the CHAIRMAN proposed " The King ; and may he long enjoy the affections of his people ;" " The Queen ;" " The Duke of Su-sex, the constant and consistent friend of civil and religious li berty ;" which were drank with great applause. The CHAIRMAN then rose, and said he had a toast to propose in which he was convinced there was not a gentle man present who would not most cheerfully join ; their presence was more than an evidence of this. On the merits of the Hon. Person whose name he was about to introduce, he felt a task too arduous to be entered upon by an individual of his humble abilities. He would, therefore, without further remark, propose to them " The health of Joseph Hume, Esq., their worthy representative in Parliament, and may he live to carry into effect, and reap the benefit of those Reforms for which he has so lung and so faithfully contended in his place in Parliament.' The toast was received with every demonstration of ap plause, and drank amidst the most enthusiastic cheering. After silence was obtained, Mr. HUME rose and ad &cued the meeting. He expressed the pride and pleasure be derived from the manner in which his name was re ceived ; not that he was vain enough to attribute to him self as an individual, any portion of that applause, but regarding it, as he did, as proofs of the unanimity of opi nion that existed between himself and those by whom he was surrounded. - He was happy to meet his constituents on this or any other occasion ; and he considered such meetings as the present, where public opinions were op-nly and legally discussed, as of the utmost importance.— (Hear, bear.) Yes, he would not shrink from declaring, that it was to such meetings, held in the open day, that they Were all indebted for the Reform Bill.—(Cheers.) Such meetings had driven the Duke of Wellington out of office. Such meetings bad carried the Reform Bill through the House of Commons: and when Earl Grey bad given up the reigns of GovernuAt, it was to such meetings himself and his colleagues were indebted for their reinstatement in office.—(Continued cheers.) Such meetings were then necessary, and they were so still, and would be so until this country was cleared of those abuses which, in neighbouring nations, bad led to results which they had all contemplated with horror. He thought the Reform Bill was in itself a great measure of re lief, but it was only the means to an end. Until the base of the Constitution was extended and strengthened by an ex tension of the suffrage, the people would not, and ought not to be satisfied. There was no doubt that whilst the great body of the people were denied the right of voting they would be discontented, and that odious distinctions would ixist in the country. He was denounced as an Atheist because he wished to see the Church reformed.— (Loud cries of " Shame.") He would not be deterred from doing his duty by such clamours. lhere were many in the country who thought an injury was done by re turning from a paper to a metallic currency, and lie would take that opportunity of stating that he by no means agreed with them. He thought the return a happy one , and that eventually it would be of the greatest benefit to all classes. As to the Reforms that were required in the law, he would not enter into them, as there was a gentleman near him eminently qualified to do so. He would only observe that they required simplification and correction so as to be understood and properly administered. There was another topic to which he would call their attention— RefOillil in the Church.--(Loud cries of " Hear.") It was notorious that the Church needed reform before any other institution in the country. It was ridiculous that the clergy should be left to reform themselves, whilst the people suggested the others that were necessary in the State. They. were allowed to be judges in their own Courts, and in every thing to act as if they were incapa ble of error. The lamentable evils to which that had led in a sister country, Were too Well known to be commented upon.—(Hear, hear.) It was hardly necessary for him to say that he referred to Ireland—that unhappy country, which, since she became connected with this, had only sufferings to enumerate which must fill every honest mind with indignation. What was the actual situation of Ire land at present? Why, she was governed by military law—by the sword.—(Shilase!) There was now an army bordering en forty thousand men in Ireland, for the pur pose of sabering the people, unless they supported a Church from which they had never derived the shadow of benefit, nay, which had been and was the bane of the country.—(Loud cries of " Shame!") Was it just this should be permitted to continue?—(No, no.) For his own part he would never tamely submit to the in sults that were offered them, and were they content to do so lie would despise them, and regard them as unworthy the name of men. In all parts of the world in which he had travelled, he found Irishmen to be brave, generous, honourable, and loyal; and if they were not that at home, there must be a suf ficient cause for it. The fault was not in them. He had travelled through Ireland, and studied her institutions, and on the opinions which he then formed, he founded the motion for Reform in the Irish Church, which, in 1819 he submitted to the wisdom of Parliament. Ireland would never be satisfied until justice was done. He would, be fore sitting down, briefly allude to another subject—taxes on knowledge.—(Cheers.) It was dreadful to see in a country boasting of her liberty, poor men thrown into dungeons for no other crime than the alleged one of selling unstamped publications. After dwelling at consid , rable length' on the evils of taxes on knowledge, Mr. Hutne concluded—(amidst deafening cheers, and cries of " Go on")--by proposing " The health of the 3,248 electors to whom he was indebted for being placed at the head of the poll."—Drank with loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " Mr. Churchill, an d the electors of Highgate," which was drank with applause. Mr. CHURCHILL then rose, and was well received. He would only address them for a few moments, as be did not eensider himself in any way the real object of the Nest- He was not an elector of Middlesex, nor was be an inhabitant of TliOlgate. His connection with Di. Snow had, however, made him acquainted with them, and though he had not had a vote, there was none present who hailed with more sincere satisfaction the triumphant return of Mi. Hume. He was not, however, without an object in rising, as he Was proud to say he was a member of the National Political Union, to the efforts of which Mr. Hume had borne honourable testimony. That Union had dune much, and Mr. Hume, above all other public men in the country, had enabled them to do it. When the popular party were on the point of being deserted by almost every man of influence in the country, and when it was thought a disgrace to be connected with such a party, Mr. Hume had stood forward as their able and un flinching advocate, and communicated to them a spirit which had enabled them to defeat the supporters of cor ruption throughout the country. After some other com plimentary observations, Mr. Churchill sat down amidst loud cheers. Dr. SNOW then rose, and returned thanks on the par of the electors of Highgate, in an eloquent speech, io which he took a survey of our domestic policy since the reign of George the Second, and concluded by proposing " The health of the Electors of Hampstead." Mr. A'BECKET returned thanks on the part of the Electors of Hampstead, and entered into lengthened detail , on the repeal of the house and window taxes. He stated that he had been one of a deputation that waited on Lormi Althorn, to pray his Lordship that the taxes might be re pealed, and detailed the answers of Lis Lordship to the various quest ions that were addressed to him, and which were generally favourable. • . The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The health of Sir John Scott Lillie," which was drank with great en • thusiasm. Sir JOHN SCOTT LILLIE rose and addressed the com pany. He thanked them for the double honour they had done him ; first, by inviting him to attend on the present occasion ; and again, by the very flattering manner in which his name was received by them. He was only induced to offer himself as a candidate to frustrate the designs of a Tory faction that bad long domineered over them, and who had clubbed together to deprive the metro politan county of their tried, honest, and consistent re presentative, Mr. Home. He was not disappointed at being the lowest on the pall ; on the other hand, he was amply rewarded for any inconvenience to which he might he put, if he had contributed i❑ any way to the victory achieved by Mr. Hume over the corrupt influence exerted against him. He was well informed that, between the day of nomination and the days of election, upwards of two thousand pounds were distributed to secure the votes of the electors. On this he would make no comment. Sir John then proceeded to state the abuses that led to the American war, and concluded by assuring them that there was no means of correcting any abuse but by agi tation—by making the tables of both Houses of Parlia ment groan under the weight of the petitions of the people. After a very able speech, Sir John S. Lillie proposed " The health of their worthy Chairman, J. Kelly, Esq., in token of their high sense of the ability with which he bad discharged his duty." The health of Mr. Kelly was then drank amidst loud cheers. Mr. KELLY then returned thanks in a neat speech. After which '° The Health of Mr. Adams," Honorary Secretary of Mr. flume's Committee at Hampstead was proposed and (hank. Mr. ADAMS returned thanks. Mr. HuatE then rose and proposed " The health of the Committee" in a speech of considerable length, in which he dwelt with much earnestness on the necessity of e,ta- Wishing a Perpe!ual Committee in the various districts, for the purpose of defeating the machinations of the To ries, who had commenced operations anew. The toast was drank with honours; when Mr. Hume took his leave, it being after ten o'clock, amidst enthusiastic cheering. ST. KATHERINE'S DOCK COMPANY. The Annual General Meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held yesterday at the Dock-house, Tower hill. THOMAS TooKE, Esq., having been called to the Chair, proceeded to rive a general statement of the affairs of the Company. The yearly earnings of 1831 amounted to 142,763/. 9.. 10d., those of 1832 to 141,3211. 18s. Sd., showing a falling off of 1,4411. 18s. 2d. The expenditure of 1831 amounted to 76,593/. 4.. 10d. ; and that of 1832 to 78,733/. 2s. 3d., being an increase of 1,139/. 17e. sd. Allowing,, how• ever, for some disbursements, the payment of which had unavoidably been deferred from 1831 to 1832, the actual profits of the last year would have exceeded the former about 6501., had those items been paid at the proper time. The import trade of the port of London during the past year, as compared with the preceding five years, had decreased is an extraordinary degree. In 1831 the ship. and tonnage, British and foreign, were 5,610 ships, 1,416,642 tons ; in 1832 they were but 4,018 ships, 776,420 tons, making the decrease in the past year 1,592 ships, and 265,222 tons. This defalcation might be attributed to various causes not of a permanent charac• ter ; the cholera, the state of political affairs both at home and abroad, and the diminution in the importation of fo reign corn and flour; but he (the Chairman) was of opi nion that the chief cause was the accumulation of stores, beyond the demand in the markets and our own consump tion, so that the tlecliue in the shipping trade in the past year, was positively preparing the way for its rise in pro portion as the stores became exhausted. A half-yearly dividend of 11 per cent. was then dared, and agreed to nem con. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of much public business. The answer of the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench to the address cf the Corporation was or ilered to be printed, and framed, and glazed, and hung up in the Hall. BOROUGH MARIE?. Mr. KNorr presented a petition from the inhabitants of St. Saviour's, Southwark, against the proposed new market in George's•lields. The petition was immediately and unanimously referred to the Committee of City Lands to examine and report upon it. CITY' OF LONDON GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY. A petition was presented from the Directors of the City of London General Pension Society, praying for as sistance to the charity. The petition was referred to the General Purposes Committee. Mr. C. PEARSON rose to submit to the Court a resolu tion analagous to one which was annually introduced with out notice of motion. It was the practice of that Court annually to vote that the Sheriffs should have a seat on 'he bench with the Aldermen, although they were not members of that Court ; and he should move that the same privilege should be accorded to George Grote, Esq., one of the City representatives in Parliament.—(Hear.) It had long been the practice of that Court to require the city Members to support their petitions to the House of Guntnons, and to further the passing of such Bills in Parliament as were deemed conducive to their interests, and yet they had not thought fit to admit the Members to seat in the Court, whereby they could become acquainted with the arguments by which those measures were supported.—( Hear.) Mr. Grote was a gentleman of that :espectability, talent, and high consideration in the city, which rendered it of the deepest importance for the Corpo ration of London to cultivate his good opinion, and to in vite hint to be present at their deliberations; that instead 4d obtaining his cold acquescence in their request to sup port the measures they wished to be brought forward, his judgment might be convinced, and his feelings en listed in their favour. By the Reform Bill, the Repre sentatives of the City in Parliament were much more closely identified with that Court than were the Sheriffs, who, by uniform practice, were allowed a seat within it. _(Hear.) The Sheriffs were elected exclusively by the Livery, who, as such, had no part or lot with the Cur. paration ; whereas the inhabitant householders, who were chiefly freemen, voted for Representatives, and it was by the freemen inhabitant householders that the Court was elected.—(Hear, bear, hear.) The days are gone by when the Court could expect a high-minded, independent, and intellectual gentleman, like Mr. Grote, blindly to support at their bidding any measures they might think it necessary to originate in Parliament. Pay him the com pliment of allowing him an honourable place in the Court, and, as it was their desire to further such measures only as were calculated to promote the welfare of the citizens and the good of the whole community, they might safely calculate upon his zealous and official auppo-t.—(Hear.) Mr. DIXON said, that as such a proceeding was without a precedent, it required the gravest consideration—(A laugh)—and he should feel himself bound to oppose it, un less the Hon. Member would allow the motion to stand on the paper of business to be taken into consideration at the next Court. _ . Mr. PEARSON could see no objection to the immediate di.posal of the question ; it would undoubtedly be carried ; but to gratify his friend Mr. Dixon, he would adopt his suggestion. CITY TITHES. Mr. H. TATI.O4 gave notice of a rn!)tion, " That the Titi , e Committee be instrocird to report, as speedily es possible, upon the re,ult of all legal proceedings, to the present time, relative to the claim to tithes in this city, at the rate of 2s. 9d. in the pound, with a view to an in quiry into the legality and justice of the decision of the House of Lords thereupon." In giving this notice, Mr. Taylor stated, that he had learned from the proceedings in the Rolls Court, that in the opinion of the distinguished Judge who presided there, as well as of other law au thorities, that a certain House sometimes made decisions contrary to evidence, to justice, to law, and to commo❑ sense, arid he thought that perhaps the decision of the House he alluded to on tithes in London, might prove, on examination, to be of that kind.—(A laugh.) Mr. Taylor then gave notice of a motion, " That the Committee of General Purposes be instructed to take measures immedi ately for promoting the objects of the petition, ordered to be presented to Parliament on the 12th of April last, rela tive to Corporate Oaths." SOUTHWARK NEW WATER COMPANY. Yesterday, a numerous and highly respectable meeting was convened at the Three Tuns, High-street, Southwark, for the purpoe of forming a Company to supply South wark and its environs with pure and salubrious water from the River Wandle. THOMAS FA RNCOMB, Esq•, in the Chair. It was propose ,1 to raise a capital of 300,0001. in 1,200 shares of 231. each, and that application should be made to Parliament to obtain an Act of Incorporation. Various specimens of water which is now supplied to the population of this metropolis were produced, and, certainly, there was an evident superiority in the samples derived from the shore-named source. It was mentioned that many medical men had given it as their opinion that the ravages of the cholera were to be attributed, in some degree, to the impurity of the water with which the inhabitants of the Southern part of London ere supplied. It was stated that the River Wandle is capable of fur nishing, at the lowest calculation, 22 millions of gallons per day, and that the districts intended to be supplied would require no more than 5 millions of gallons ; conse quently there would be an abundant quantity at all times, available for the public use. Various resolutions were proposed and adopted, and the meeting adjourned to Saturday next, at 12 o'clock. COURT CIRCULAR. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign-office, which was attended by the LORD CHAN • CELLOR, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Earl GREY, Vis counts 'MELBOURNE, PALMERSTON, and ALTHORP ; the flight H n.

WHAT IS A LIBEL ?—lf you write that which imputes a breach of morality, or that which makes a man ridiculous, it is actionable.—lir. Justice Bailey. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. " Before dismissing the question of tithes, it is impos sible not to point to it as a lamentable proof of the cor rectness of English notions of morality. Thus, for in stance, we say the tithes exacted from Dissenters or Roman Catholics are an unjust impost, and yet, with the utmost coolness imaginable, we give orders to an army deliberately to murder them if they attempt to resist the exaction ! If asked why we do this, our answer is that the exaction which we declared to be iniquitous in the first instance, being made according to law, it was our duty to have so acted, in order that the power of the law might be vindi. cated, but we never think that whilst we are vindicating human, we are outraging divine law. No, no ; the part of a good Christian, and loyal subject in England is to obey the law whilst it is law, no matter what may be the na ture of the Divine command or ordinance with which it may clash." SIR,—I adopt the above paragraph from the letter of " Daleth " in your yesterday's paper, as expressing entirely my own convictions in reference to the whole proceedings of Government on all mat ters both civil and religious. To perpetuate this state of heartless wickedness and propensity, every effort of craft and power has been resorted to for the last half century. It ought, on no account, how ever, to be disguised, that this cruel and perverse spirit and conduct, in support of established evils,are the legacies bequeathed to us by our Romanist fore fathers. It is highly gratifying to find that the morality of politics is beginning to be regarded. If your correspondent will direct the force of his subjects in this direction, Ireland may be composed and saved, and England enlightened and strength ened, by those very controversies which make mani fest the anomalies which respect both nations. It is the dream of a self-conceited dogmatist, a fanatic, or fool, to suppose that nations can find repose be neath the covering of hypocrisy. It were far better for those who aflect the dignity of Statesmen, and act on such delusions, to declare themselves at once deliberate Atheists. During the last Parliament the Romanist and the established Protestant were se verally represented by Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Stanley; but I mistake if in this Parliament there will not be found persons who will alike despise the sectarianism and self-sufficiencyof both these ascendant champions. The dogmatical and pert shrewdness of Mr. Stanley might perchance be of use if he were found advocating pure and undefiled truth in reference to matters of Church and State, but his able flippancy has now no other effect than to pros trate before an inveterate enemy everything that stands ranked beneath the banner of Protestantism. I know not what the object of the Government can be in permitting Mr. S. to dictate to a nation like Ireland, or in what way the Ministry purpose to work their own exaltation by allowing him to stand forth as the champion of the Church. The late Member for Dundalk had juster pretensions to this distinction. Mr. Stanley brings to the cause of re ligion neither knowledge nor seriousness. I should take part with the Papist, out of very hatefulness to the coxcombical prudery of no Protestant advocate. The man who, like Mr. Stanley, could say " that the less principle i were permitted to interfere with the councils of Parliament the better." can effect nothing but evil for his country, and dishonour for himself. Such a man had better keep his hand from the ark of God, lest he meet with an igno minious death. Daleth's statement as to the great agitator's Re• publican views are new to me. I can hardly go the length that Daleth proceeds, in ascribing to him such " Presidental" pretensions. But of this lam convinced, that Republicanism in Europe will be the birth of Monarchical wickedness and misrule. It will soon be evident whether the present Ministers understand the crisis of nations, or are only secta rian pilots of a storm which will try to the founda tions every form of established pOwer, and overthrow every institution which cannot rest its claims to as cendancy and perpetuity upon immoveable and di vinely revealed verities. Lord Grey was invited, two years ago, to favour the formation of Christian corporations in suitable parts of Ireland; but he did not see fit to even con sider the subject. He was not invited to favour the setting up of sectarian corporations, whether Catholic, Protestant, Presbyterian, or Dissenting, much less Socinian or Arian. He was solicited to encourage the voluntary colonization of Christians of every name in Ireland, affording to them such freedom from the exactions and embarrassments connected with established misrule as would enable the colonists to manage their own domestic affairs, free from ecclesiastical, judicial, or municipal inter ference; the colonists engaging to apply any sur plus revenue which they might accumulate in ame liorating the condition of the surrounding country, after maintaining their own poor, and providing for the religious, moral, and useful instruction of their offspring. It was proposed that the colonists should be prevented from in any way engaging in warlike occupations, or the manufacture of warlike stores. It was proposed that the colonists should be free to adopt the divine oracles, without note or romment, as the Magna Charts of their rights and duties, and as the law of their relations towards each other and towards all men. They claimed that when any town which they should erect should comprise 20,000 persons of all ages, then they should be free to send one Member to Parliament. Ido not say that •I have pleasure in the embarrassment of my country or of its rulers, but I am not displeased to find, that without resorting to far other schemes for composing a disturbed state than those of Mr. Stanley, and those who approve his trickster or ex pediental ways, it is hourly more and mote manifest that Ireland will declare her independence. And who shall be sorry, seeing that it will be the work and na• tural result of obstinacy and hypocrisy ? Perhaps you will not think it unreasonable for me to request the insertion of this letter. If the plan suggested seems unlikely to have met with success, you must permit me to say, that to effect good for Ireland and for England, men must be familiar with the peaceful and peace-preserving spirit and course of conven tional institutions, many of which are of too obscure a character to have hitherto obtained the notice, much less the countenance, of . rulers. These legis late too much in the clouds to preserve men in peace or security, or nations in their territorial integrity. The poor cannot, however, always be forgotten. The patient abiding of the meek cannot perish for evermore. The wisdom of the wise men of the world must be proved to be folly. The triumphs of those who wait upon divine revelations are yearly, hourly augmenting. Jul. 15, 1833. W. B. The Marquis of ANGLESEA and suite are expected to leave Dublin, on Wednesday next, fur Lon don, where they will probably arrive on Saturday night. The Marchioness and the family accompany the Noble Viceroy to England. His Lordship's journey is sup posed to relate to the portentous state of Ireland. Ux bridge House has been preparing for his reception. The Earl and Countess WALDEGRAVE, have returned to Strawberry Hill, near Twickenham, from Brighton. This unique building was bequeathed to his Loidship by the celebreted lioaAcE WALPOLE, when he became of age, and during his minority, to the Hon. Mrs. DAMER. The edifice, adorned with the most choice gems, collected in every putt of the civilized world, to gether with books and pictures of inestimable value, re mains in the exact state in which it was left by the late Lord OEFORD.

GERMAN PAPERS. VIENNA, JAN. 6.—Since the fall of the citadel of Antwerp, the affairs of Belgium:l have lost a part of the interest which was necessatily excited by an attack ac companied by so many difficulties and by brave defence. The opening of fresh negotiations is expected without ap prehension, and it is hoped that this time they will lead to an arrangement without farther interruption. Europe needs repose, but not an artificial, precarious repose,which keeps up a perpetual excitement, and is a hindrance to all undertakings that rk quire a state of peace and confidence to insure their success. During the late years of agita tion, the Cabinets have, by extraordinary sacrifices, been able to prevent a general rupture ; their efforts will also succeed in confirming the confidence in a real state of peace, and then to settle the question of a reduction of the military force, so as to relieve all nations from so great a burden. The accounts from Constantinople of the 19th De cember are again fivourable. The Porte is in a kind of feverish state—sometimes it has reason to believe in a happy termination of the war, and sometimes it is again filled with the most serious alarms. If the Sultan could depend on the faithful attachment and co-operation of his subjects, there is no doubt that the fortune of war would soon turn in his favour, for the Porte still possesses great resources. The foreign Mini sters in Constantinople are supposed to be very anxious for news from London, respecting the success of the ne gotiation confided to Namiek Bey. On it will depend the greater or less degree of assistance that the Sultan expects from Russia ; and, so far, the 'answer of England is doubly important. Many persons in Constantinople were of opinion that the Porte would have done better not to apply to England, but that it should have immediately embraced the friendly offers of the Russian Court, with out seeking for aid in London. The latter would either answer too late, or, in case there should be more readiness in the English Cabinet, yet the internal state of England would not allow of the assistance being so effectual as the urgency of the case demands. On the other hand it is not to be denied that the half of the naval force which England has so long kept up to no purpose between the English and Dutch coasts, against its ancient ally, Holland, would, by a mere demonstration against the Egyptian fleet, have thrown a great weight into the scale of the Porte—have impeded the operations of Ibrahim, and have checked the arrogance of Mehemet Ali. The Grand Vizier has, however, assembled a great army, and threatens the communications of the Egyptians. Hie trea sures appear to have been well taken, as Ibrahim has made a retrograde movement, and thrown himself into the de files of Caramania. VIENNA, JAN. 7.—Five per Cents.

PARISjAN. 15.—Before examining the subject of European interference in the affairs of the East, it is first necessary to form correct ideas of the nature and bearings of events of which the Ottoman Em pire is now the theatre. Before discussing the part which every one ought to take in the convulsions of the Mussulmans, it is necessary first of all to as certain if the hour of the dissolution of that society has actually arrived. The importance of the modifi cations which it has already suffered is sufficiently great undoubtedly to awaken the attention of all Europe ; but the Ottoman Empire yet stands upon its legs. If it has not beheld rebel Pachas at the gates of its capital, it has seen foreign armies within two days' march of them. Its principle of life has overcome serious internal disorders. The moral support of its European Alliances has stopped, more than once, the triumphal course of its foreign foes. The present crisis is serious—more serious, perhaps, than any preceding crisis. Is it without hope of safety ? Let us inquire. Ibrahim Pacha has crossed the Taurus; he has entered Koniah ; and has placed his advanced guard on the route to Constantinople. The army of the Grand Vizier has retreated in good order. A bsttle is inevitable. Such is the last news arrived from Constantinople. In look ing closely at this state of things, we perceive that the conquests of Ibrahim, hitherto, have been all in countries accustomed, for a long time, to look upon the Turks as enemies, and in which the Egyptian soldier found a similarity of language arid manner, which made him appear like a countryman. the Egyptian, In Anatolia, Ibrahim will attack a victo r ious people in their strong holds. There th e c o n t es t will take a character much more seri ous . Th e more Ibrahim advances towards th e ca pit a l, th e m ore his forces will diminish. H e l eaves b e hi n d him people half conquered, and he attacks an imperial army. If he suffers a defe a t, his r e treat his full of perils ; all wars in the East attest that. The Egyptian army will find in Anatolia neither roads nor means of , transport. A scattered population will not be able to supply its chief wants. The soldiers of Ibrahim have not yet been exposed to any climate very dif_ ferent from their own. In Anatolia they will find the winter and all its terrors. Finally, on approach ing Constantinople, Ibrahim marches through the centre of the Ottoman power, and where it is yet strength ai o d forprinciple that h exerc:sed with the utmost energy.
