, "i; •••• • • both been victims, I alone of all the number am to be put C.own with the clamour of a pretended liberal Pre: - and denied all sympathy or redress, though the British Empire in India is now in the full enjoy- T iler t of all the benefits for which I contended, and the British nation at home is profiting at the rate of two mil lions a year in the reduced price of its imports, and another million a year in the incroased extent of its exports, from the destruction of that g iant. M o nopoly, by whose tyranny I was banished and ruined, but whose power I have as sisted to bumble and lay low. The treatment 1 have re ceived from the Indian Government was cruel and unjust in the extreme—the treatment I have received from the Eritish Ministry is as cruel and more faithless and inex cusable still. But the treatment I have received from the so-called liberal portion of the British Press (with some few and honourable exceptions) is worse than all ; and forms a • climax of injustice hardly to be paralleled in the history of the world. I am the victim of despotic power, for daring to stand up for the Liberty of the Press ; and yet they who inveigh the loudest against despotism, and who tell us, ever and anon, that " the Liberty of the Press is like the air we breathe, if we have it not we die," are the first to turn their weapons of contempt and sarcasm, of misrepresentation and abuse, against an individual, whose only crime is that he has loved that Liberty (without which they say they cannot live) so ideally, as to suffer exile and ruin for his defence of be f epaid only with contumely, ingratitude, and scorn. As to my " going over to the Tories," there is no danger of that. You are quite right in believing that they will no t buy me : for this simple reason , that I am not to be v urehased. If my public principles had been tha t market .. a Jlle commodity which so many of the public writers of Enjland have shown theirs to be, I might have made 100,000/. by selling them in India ; and I might have had a ll m y iust Claims on the India Company settled long ago in this cCuntry by selling those principles here. But I would do neither, and Ido not repent it, since I am richer in the enjoyment of an approving conscience and a pure heart, even in my present poverty, than if I had the wealth of both the Indies for my possession. It is this steady in flexibility which makes me u n p urchaseable, by Whig or Tory—and it is this unconquerable spirit of independence which makes me so hateful to those who they can twist and bend, and turn and turn again, to worship the rising Sun, and bow down in homage to the golden idol of the day —secretly hate, and openly persecute those whose superior virtue and consistency is a constant and st,inding reproach to their own mercenary and grovelling view:s• I (10 not ask, however, or require the " charity" of Whigs 01 . Tories. I demand only the restitution of my own, or the giving back of that of which I have been lite rally robbed : _and if the plunderers themselves cannot be made to yield the spoil, and the reformed Parliament and liberal Admin:stration of England make common cause with these plunderei N, and uphold them in their guilt : to whom, but to that Oritish Public—for the advocacy of whose rights and interes.ts I was sacrificed, and who are now reaping the benefit Pf my labours to ti:e extent of several millions a year—to whom, but to them, oi.Tslit my friends to turn, to afford me that redress which in e:'ery other quarter has been denied ? And while public Sub scriptions are raised for public men on all sides, for men who have never made any sacrifice, personal or pecuniary, but rather benefitted by the ample rewards of pay and emolument which office gave them for their labours : while penny subscriptions even have been raised for such men as Lord Grey, Lord Brougham, Lord Dur ham, Lord Alti:orp, and Lord John Russell, to present them with some mark of public gratitude for their ser vices :—while Mr. O'Connell receives the tribute of a nation for his labours a; the Emancipator of Ireland : — w hile the children of Si: Walter Scott are pro vided for by public subscription :—and while the whole body of Irish Clergy have appeals roade to the public to make up for them, by individual subscr;ptions, the income of which they have been deprived by the refusal of the Catholics to pay their tithes :—while all this is taking place around us every day, and it is thought honourable to all these parties to receive this proof of public estimation by the subscriptions thus raised on their behalf, I know not by what law or by what logic it can be shewn, that it is otherwise than honourable to me to receive that assistance to which I have a claim, founded on the undeniable facts of extensive property sacrificed, extensive sufferings endured, and extensive benefits realized by the public at large. Should it ever happen that you should be placed in a si milar situation to myself—your Paper suppressed, your person exiled, your property destroyed, and all without trial, process, or opportunity Gf defence : yourself and family driven from your home and y,lur connexions, and injury after injury heaped upon your head--you may, then perhaps for the first time see and feel the force and beauty of that Christian maxim, " Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, that do ye unto them also." But under this professedly Christian gov ernment, and a oldst a professedly Christian people, this noblest maxim of the Jreat founder of our faith is the very last that they ever thi_nk of putting into practice. On the contrary, that which they would neither desire nor endure to be done towards themselves , is precisely that which they delight to do towards others ; and instead of " loving their neighbours as themselves,' the great aim of a very large portion of the public, and the col - doctors of the public Press among the number, seems to be to obtain distinction by showing how intensely they can hate every one who differs in the slightest degree from them selves, and to emulate each other in showing by what terms of contumely L:nd scorn they can denounce them to the world at large. The homage that is publicly paid to Liberty, therefore, by those public men and public writers who cry the loudest in its favour, is in general merely a " lip-service" which comes not from the heart, and has no real feeling of love for Liberty mingled with it. For how can men be sincere in their attachment to freedom, when they can stand by and see unmoved, the advocates of that very freedom cut down by the iron stroke of the oppressor, and not even put forth a hand to stay the blow, or to rail' up the victim after he has fallen ? But if those who rank themselves among the Liberals of England, are justly chargeable with a want of real attachment to the principles they profess, when they see those who go forth as poineers in the front of the battle wounded and mangled before their eyes, without an effort either to stay or to steep their bleeding wounds : what shall we say of those, who no sooner see one of their own ranks so struck down by the powerful arm of Despotisro, than they raise a si.out of exultation over his fall ; and .assist to trample his body under foot, and cover his reputati. 9n with obloquy and shame ? These are traitors to the cause of Liberty ; and among this number you , and all those ' who act as you have done, will henceforth deserve to take your stand. J. S. BUCKINGHAM. THE SPANISH DIVIDENDS. BOURSE, PARIS. OCT. 27.—A meeting of the holders of Spanish Stock took place here this day, in conformity with a notice published in the newspapers. The meeting had been convoked for eleven o'clock , but it was twelve before the Committee of the bondholders made their appearance. In the interval, the difficulties of the Spanish question were discussed with much warmth in a number of groups, composed of men of all ranks and countries, but who all concurred in condemning, with a li berty of speech truly surprising, under the regime of the legislation of September, 1835, the Government and per s.,on oF his Majesty King Louis Phillippe. The latter, they said, had concluded a treaty with England for the protec tion of the Queen, and yet, in violation of a solemn pledge, he supported underhand Don Carlos, whom several of the ni,,at violent orators complimented with the appellation of a " chief of banditti!" A man whose broad accent betrayed his German origin here took up the orator, and contended that Don Carlos did not deserve that offensive designation ; that he was the rightful Sovereign of Spain ; that the whole nation was in his favour, and that if such was not the case, he would not now be at the head of so formidable an army —be who had arrived in Spain with only seven men. " The wonderful success of the Pretender," retorted a National Guard of the sth Legion, dressed in his uniform, " ought not to be a matter of surprise." "I am not," he said, " initiated in the secrets of the police ; but the Go vernment which allowed Don Carlos to cross t h e ent i re o f France, after having sojourned two days in Paris, had some secret diabolical scheme in view, and we, poor rentiers, are now paying the piper." The discussion was becoming most violent, when the Pre sident of the self-constituted committee, placing hi mse l f against a pillar, requested the orators would be silent, and in an instant he was surrounded by a couple of hundred persons, to whom he read out, instead of the draught of a petition to the French Government, a letter to M. Emile de Girardin, the editor of the Presse (the same who had the misfortune to kill M. Carrel in a duel), " inviting him to take up the cause of the French bondholders, which he had already pleaded with so much talent and e ner gy , in an ar ticle published in his journal of the 20th instant, on the Spanish Bankruptcy.' The letter stated, that the holders would be glad to see so competent a person placed at the bead of a syndicate or committee, who would undertake to prosecute their claim against a Government without either faith or shame." These expressions excited loud murmurs among the assembly ; several persons, and amongst others a Spanish gentleman, vindicated the Queen's Government from such a charge, and said that the present embarrass ments of Spain were solely occasioned by the civil war ; - that France herself had been placed in similar circumstances, and had had recourse to a regular bankruptcy, &c., to ex tricate herself from her difficulties. " Time' added the Spaniard, " is all we require, provided the treaty of qua eiruple alliance be faithfully executed by the French Go vernment.' Several other persons spoke in the same sense, but when soi-disaxt President concluded reading the letter to M. Girardin, and moved that it should be signed by all the bondholders present, such a scene of confusion ensued that it was found impossible for some time to come to an under standing. It was, howeN er, at length agreed, that the ex pressions offensive to the Spanish Government should be expunged, which was done, and about twenty persons affixed their names to the paper, while all the rest of the assembly formed into knots, remained discussing the best means of obtaining redress. Some inquired who M. de Girardin was, and what weight he posse ssed in the State ? Others s uggested the plan of " a Co mmittee, to draw up a peti tion to the Government, and submit it to the holders for their approbation, before being presented, and to call on s ome influential Member of the Chamber of Deputies to d defend their rights in t he Le g islature." " Ten thousan French troops marched against Don Carlos would be pre ferable," said another. " to your petition, and the King must be urged to send into Spain forthwith whatever force he may consider necessary to put an end to the civil war. I will go to him myself with the petition." " Bah," said one of the by-standers. " the King will no t attend lot ene your demand !" "He must," r eplied the far mer ; " hed to us in 1880 !" "Ah ! be _wanted you th ou !" The discussion then tu rned in this grp o a the part which Louis Philippe had had personally in preventbaz an efficacious armed intervention, and it was unanimously ad mitted that his Majesty had been mainly instrumental in bringing about the existing state of things i n the Penins why (IN he dismiss M. 'Fhiers from his counetis--emerely because that Minister advocated intervention ?" The flak m il ieu, if one was to judge from the sent:.- ments delivered on this ch;casion, is not very popular with the French holders of Spanish :cock. The most rational of the persons present prop osed to the mooting, however. 141, l~lendi to enter a protest against the mode adopted by zabal to pay the last dividend—not to part with their coupons, or accept of the bonds on the revenues of Cuba, imagined by him, and to address at the same time a peti tion to King Louis Philippe, in which the bondholders should state, that " they had been induced to vest their money in Spanish stock, because of the security offered them by the treaty of quadruple alliance ; and to entreat his Majesty to interfere on their behalf with the Spanish Government (to which they were ready to allow time to meet its engagements), and to afford Queen Isabel 11. every aid and assistance in his power to put down Don Carlos:" At one o'clock five of the bondholders offered to wait on M. Arnoul, a lawyer, and request of him to draw up a pe tion to the above effect, and the meeting then adjourned to 11 o'clock on Friday next. D BURY-LANE THEATRE. We witnessed Mr. Forrest last night as Othello for the third time with increased satisfaction—nay, that is too tame—with " thrice admired delight." As we have already expressed our opinion, it is unnecessary to enlarge ; but there is so much eloquent truth and fine appreciation in the following account from the ,Morning Post, that we gladly transfer it to our columns. " Last night Mr. Edwin Forrest appeared for the third time in the character of Othello. Having seen him now, for the s-,econd time, in this, one of the most arduous of the great charactCrs of Shakspeare, we do not hesitate to say that, if he were ne;er again to appear before a British audience, he must stand in the memory of all who have witnessed his per formance as a powerful and original actor—a man whose mind, whose reach of conception, has raised him above the traditional starts, and whinings, and kneelings that have been transmitted from generation to generation, and ren dered every Othello little better than a more or less efficient imitator of his predecessor. Mr. Forrest has more of originality, and less of the cold, conventional pedantries, of a professional man than any individual who, within our memory, has made a first appearance in Othello on the London boards. His whole manner, from first to last, proves that he is not the slave of tuition—that he has thought for himself—and, accordingly, in this character, there is a vigo rous originality about him which it is necessary to see more than once to appreciate as it deserves. It is a trial of con siderable risk to the reputation of a stranger to come into collision with the memory of such men as Kean, and Young, and Kemble. People are apt to think that the manner in which such men have habitually played any character is the only way in which it can be well played, and punish even slight deviations from their manner as if they were devia tions from nature. It should be recollected that the modes in which individuals give external manifestation of passions, whether in voice, in action, or in look, are as various as their features. It is true that Forrest is not Kean, and though his Othello is not Kean's Othello, it is nevertheless powerful, impassioned, occasionally even appalling ; and never was the passion of jealousy more fearfully, more vividly, and, in intervals of fond and half-despairing doubt, more tenderly displayed, than by this gentleman last night. In the two first acts, where little more demand is made upon him than to sustain with dignity and lofty bearing the character of the captain who had been glorious in many fields, it was done with a haughty simplicity, which had no appearance of presumption, and implied only the habits of command. The mere soldiership of the cha racter was never more naturally or more commandingly sustained. We have heard the speech to the Senate deli yered with more precision of tone and weight of emphasis, ant projection of the sword arm, but never with more of the simplicity, of the deep consciousness of upright purpose, which one would naturally s.xpect from a plain and honest sol dier,"the big wars that make am nursed from childhood iri bition virtue." Almost the w hoie - of the third act is a trial through which it is impossible a man could carry himself successfully without talents of the first order, and Mr. Forrest never for one moment showed himself unequal to it. It is here that greatest of all ruffianly characters , lago, accumulates suspicion upon suspicion, until incredulity and doubt are converted into certainty, and the soul of the noble Moor becomes a chaos. His seizure of lago where he insists upon proof positive of Desdemona's guilt, was tremen dous. It was an almost fearful exertion of human energy, and when be fell, exhausted by the effort, the house from all parts rung with applause. He who will not see Mr. Forrest throughout the whole of this act can never know all there can be made of Othello by a man possessing sufficient strength of nerve and vigour of body to sustain the vigour of his concep tions. Mr. Forrest does not rant or foam, as we have seen others do, at every new suspicion which lago summons up, to overwhelm his mind. He waits, he listens with an appear ance of composure, but the eye is all the time kindling, the nerves are taking the preternatural tension of madness ; the breast heaves, until at length he bursts into the excla n:ation " By Heaven, I'll know thy thought." The great trial speech, " I had been happy if the general camp," &c. & c ., s i,sviated in parts—indeed almost throughout—and de viated judiciously. from the traditionary mode of delivering. it. It was salemn, affecting, and tender ; no rant, no loud ness, but rather, as it should be, in the manner of lamen tation. He made one point with peculiar happiness, show ing that, even under the maddening influence of jealousy, he still retained a delicacy and dignity which made him shrink from the degradation of setting Emelia as a spy over the conduct of his wife. He hints the base com mission, but suddenly withdraws it. It would be injus tice to exemplify, by particular passages, a piece of acting so ably done throughout, and in parts done, we must say in justice, beyond the reach of rivalry, There is some slight peculiarity aid harshness of pronunciation, which gives a little the impression of provincialism. It is but trilling, and will soon be smoothed off. Indeed, per haps, it is so trifling as scarcely to neeCi the trouble of cor rection. Mr. Forrest must be seen more ;Ilan once in the same character, or much of his merit will remains unob served. We confess that we could see him often in Othello without satiety, and if he should play the other leading characters of the drama as successfully as he has played this, he may rest assured that he must ultimately hold a place in public favour inferior to that of no living artist, and convince his doubting countrymen that there is no unwillingness here to do ample justice to American talent. He was called for by the audience at the close of the piece." MACREADY'S OPINION OF MR. FORREST.—" Sir, he is the only man we have seen since John Kemble." [This is highly creditable to Mr. Macready. True ge nius always soars beyond the reach of envy. Admire and emulate, but if possible surpass is the stirring impulse— the noble attribute of geniusp.—En.

FRANCE. PARIS, Our. 07.-The Journal des Debats of this morninf.); gives the following indirect answer to the com plaints of the non-execution of the Quadruple Alliance :- " The 050,000 francs which the foreign legion has jus t received, had been sent to B 4 .yo nno by the Ministry of M. Isturiz, to accelerate the forma64T) and supply the fl7ll wints of the new auxiliary corp s, whi,cb were re-organising on the frontier at the beginning of the month ef.: 4ugust. The President of the Council Lass obtained from the Ca latrava Ministry a decision that this saw should be em ploye I for the pay of the foreign legion, which was mucl: in arrear." This fact alone is an answer to many suppositions of misunderstandings between the two Governments, and proves that the Ministry of the 6th September has not ceaaAd to take the greatest interest in the c onstitutional cause in Spain, It seems that a stronger proof of interest would have been not to suspend the organisation of the auxiliary legion. We may add that in this same Number, the Journal des Debats contains a letter from Malaga, which complains of the refusal made to the French Consul to send a man-of war to be stationed in that port. A vessel, on the first ap- Plicatim) of the English Consul, the only brig of war of that nation that remained at Gibraltar, was immediately sent to Malaga, The Courrier Francais has the following ;---"A letter from Madrid informs us that M. de Latour Maubourg, since his arrival in that capital, has had one misadventure after an otii-tu•.-expulsion of his Secretary, M.

Calatrava did not make him wait long for an answer. He replied to the family Ambassador that such a permission would not be granted him ; that the constitutional Queen could not have conferences with ambassadors, except in the presence of the Ministers ; that he might take this as a sufficient notice ; and that, in future, all applications for such tin interview would be disregarded."--Journal du Commerce, Oct.

MADRID, OCT. 17.—At half-past ten o'clock, the Se- 1 cretaries of State, and about 50 deputies having assembled in the place appropriated for the meeting of the Cortes, The Minister for the Home Department delivered the following short speech :—" As there exists no permanent deputation of the Cortes (this being the first meeting ac cording to the system of the Constitution), her Majesty has directed me to read the list of the members who have in scribed their names at my department. Before doing so, I must be permitted to congratulate you on the new era of glory and prosperity for Spain which is about to open. It is for this assembly henceforward to determine the destinies of the country, and to apply a remedy to all its misfortunes. I feel the greatest satisfaction in being the first to address the Cortes of the Kingdom ; and the pride which I feel at this moment, and which can only be appreciated by gene rous souls, solaces me for all the anxiety and care which ne cessarily attend a Minister of State." The list of the deputies whose names were inscribed al the Home Office was then read, as well as the list of all the members elected, after which the Ministers withdrew. Senor Gomez, be::7 the most aged deputy, was called to the chair ; and Senors Olozaga and Cavallos, being the youngest deputies, were named st:el,7,?turies• The names of the members present wefo then called over. The election of a Provisional President was next pro ceeded to. Senor Gomez Becerra obtained 55 votes, and Don Augustin Arguelles 2. Senor Becerra was accor dingly chosen. Senors Olozaga and Cavallos were elected Provisional Secretaries. After the transaction of some other formal business, the Cortes adjourned till the succeeding day, when the second preparatory meeting was to be held. By a Royal decree published in the Madrid Gazette of the 18th, the amount of the retiring allowance to be re ceived henceforth by the public functionaries - is to be fixed, not in proportion to the salary assigned to those offices in former periods, but in proportion to the salary settled or to lac settled by new regulations. We are informed that at ten o'clock last night an extra ordinary courier from the Asturias reached the War-office, communicating the fact that the Portuguese division was distant only three leagues from the band of Sanz. Thi s baud is already surrounded by the divisions of Peon and Castaneda. It is to be hoped that the enemy has, e re thi s time, received a mortal blow, and that we shall soon receive intelligence of the extermination of this horde of Vandals. —Liberal of the 18th. Lieutenant-Colonel Don Manuel Perez Fanosa writes from Tineo, under date of de Bth current, that 77 brave National Guards, of Tineo, Cangas, and Navia, had cleared that town of the Navarrese faction by the aid of three vigorous charges with fixed bayonets. Although this was the first time the greater part of the National Guards had attacked to numerous a body, they nevertheless displayed the greatest ardour to deliver the neighbourhood from the pest of the rebels. The night favoured the enterprise, and only two were wounded.—Madrid Gazette of the 18th. 'The Commandant-General of the Asturias hai appointed Dort Manuel Perez Fanosa Governor of Oviedo, as a re compense for his services and patriotism. The appoint ment has been referred to the War Minister for contirma tion.—Madral Gazette of the 18th. SAN SEBASTIAN, OCT. 20.—The all-engrossing subject here is that of a meditated attack upon our lines by the rebel Villareal, with eighteen battalions. So positive was the information sent to General Evans, that on this morn ing he and his staff were on horseback at four o'clock, in specting the works : the regiments were retained under arms during the entire of the night, pickets doubled, and all the requisite cautions in case of a sudden attack, rigidly attee:ded to. This intelligence was conveyed to the Lieu tenant-General from Bayonne, Behobia, and Iran. At Oyarsun rations for ten thousand men were ordered by the Carlist leader, so sa:.l the informant. That Villareal, with a numerous force, is in the neighbourhood is, I be lieve, generally deaeptained. An attack by him must be attended with heavy lees to his followers. 'MA true our forces are comparatively insigrOeent, the taking away of the Spanish regiments was most unevh,e and impolitic, but still our fortifications are good, and our " SearP4n ramparts," the men, still better. The force which it would tike to drive in the lines is much more than the factious Chief can bring to his aid. The eetreme right, Ayetta, is the one least defended, or the intermediate point between Alza and Serategui, at one of which places, in all probability, the assault would be made, but I do not think that after the affair of the Ist, they will be again anxious to have another encounter. From our bat tery at Puyu several Carlist officers could be seen recon noitering the various posiaens on Ametza. All is tranquil, " us ually so. From this eircuMStai:ce would I even draw the conebeion that they are maturing their pja„ opera tion. I perfeetly well remember that for two days previous same apparent With whom I haveent calmness and in . d t ool t e h n e ce lst pe o r f t o ,ad c e to d h ; er ; in t d ha frpni conversed, it is usual with them to observe this rule prior to any move, The same precaution is again taken on to night by order of General Evans, and every man is pre pared to do his duty. His Britannic Majesty's steam packet Phenix threw some shells from the harbour at Ametza : the object being to find the range of the hill, in case circumstances should require. Nothing , SATURIDAS, OCTOBER 29, 1836. could be finer than the precision with which they were directed —Calling behind the breastwork of the enemy. A sum of money sufficient to pay the remainder 'of the field allowance to staff officers, has been received and is sued for that purpose ; but any sum worthy of mention which could even pay the current expenses of the Legion has not yet arrived. This procrastination speaks badly for the agreement made at Madrid with Colonel de Laney ; neither the 4 5,6661. nor the 13,0001., which was to be re ceived by the Ist of October, has come. It i 4 now al most the Ist of November, when Anoolor 16,000 t. ought to be reeeivcd, Promises are much better never to be made. unless they can with certainty be fulfilled. They rait-., ex . pectations and create hopes only . to mock ::nern, and they occasionally bring this mischief ineir train—of causing a spirit of disaffection ? w,lueh might be the case amongst our soldiers, I flood not tell you how difficult it was found in a former instance, to repress that spirit. I hope that no just cause may agaid call it into existence. By a recent regulation, the number of companies in each regiment will be reduced from eight to six. The effect will consequently be a reduction of two captains, two lieu tenants, and two ensigns in each regiment. The James Watt steamer arrlved yesterday from Santander, having on board 112 men of the Ist and 2d Lancers. In conse quence of the want of horses, they were draughted into tho lath Regiment. (From our City Correspondent.) By the express from Paris, and the information from Madrid 0 thg 224 inst., we /lave interesting information from the division of General Gomez, who has for the hun dredth time deceived and evaded the vigilance of the Queen's Generals, who, it appears, are always a day too late to catch hire, Gomez has again, by a masterly ma• nceuvre, marched to the left to Fistreroadura instead of to Murria, where the Queen's Generals expected he would take his course therefore, in all probability he may reach the province of Leon, and join the division of General santz, who is reported to have taken possession of the ca pital. In the interim, the Carlists in the north are not in active ; it appears they have commenced M i ka siege of Bil- F.,;14 at the same time threaten an attack on the lines, of St, Sebastian therefore, in a few days we :ray expect to hear of important events from the theatre of war in Spain. Letters from Andujar of the 15th instant, in the Revista, states that the band of Gomez, warmly pursued by General Alaix at Lucena and Mentilla, returned on the 13th to Cor dova, where it was still closely followed by Alaix, who took possession of the farm D'Aleola, sending information to Rodil, Espinosa, and Quiroga to combine movements for the district. On the 14th, at two o'clock in the morning, the advanced guard of Alaix surprised the advanced posts of the Carlists, which reached to half a league in advance of Cordova. In this affair not one man escaped. The streets of Cordova after the affair were strewed with the dead bodies of the Carlists, and the inhabitants who cried out in favour of Charles IV. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. s.—An English Cabinet mes senger, Mr. Bell, arrived here on Sunday with despatches for Lord Ponsonby. In the very equivocal position he finds himself, in consequence of Russian intrigues, these com munications from his Government must have relieved him from much anxiety, particularly as it is positively asserted their tenor is favourable, and approving highly of the steps he had taken in the Churchill affair. It is understood that another messenger is now on the road, with instructions for his Lordship how the affair is to be finally adjusted. There is another individual to whom there is little doubt this in telligence will be equally welcome : I mean the Minister of the Interior, Pertef Pacha, whose zeal and integrity in the cause of his country, and his honest espousal of British interests, have drawn upon him the whole weight of Russian resentment. M. Boutinieff is determined to crush him if he can. Since the establishment of his ascendancy over the Divan, by the expulsion of his rival, Akif, the late Reis Effendi, more has been done to counteract the machinations and overthrow the bane ful domination of Russia that has been effected since the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi. The whole army of Rus sian spies and agents, with Logothete at their head, has been put to the rout, and expelled from the Palace and the Porte—the money-changers driven from the temple. His crowning measure with respect to the Greek Church must have driven them to despair, and is no doubt in great measure the secret motive of their late outrageous attack upon him. To rescue that Church from their influence, under which, with the assistance of Achmed Pacha and the late Reis Effendi, they had contrived to place it, by the nomination to the patriarchal chair of a creature of their own, he has obtained the sanction of the Divan to some organic changes which will render the Patriarch com paratively powerless. The whole authority of the church will henceforth be vested in a synod, composed of six arch bishops and two counsellors, and in which the Patriarch will only have a place as President. The Porte has re served a veto for itself in the election of these dignitaries, and thus one of the most powerful levers on which Russia calculated for the overthrow of the Government has been literally broken into pieces, out of which she will find it difficult to re-construct an effective instru ment for her purposes. So formidable an opponent to her designs Russia is resolved to ruin, if possible ; and taking advantage of the protracted silence of the English Cabinet on the Churchill affair, M. Boutinieff has suc ceeded for a time in exasperating the Sultan against his faithful Minister, by representing that the dismissal of the Reis Effendi, at his recommendation, was a needless humi liation to the Porte. It is to be feared that the Sultan has lent but too ready an ear to these representations, if we may judge from an open manifestation of his sentiments towards Akif Effendi, the discarded Minister, which oc curred on Friday last. One of his courtiers, Osman Bey, was dispatched with presents to him, consisting of some splendid brilliants, jewellery, &c., and was also commissioned to convey to him the expression of the Sultan's esteem, and hope that he would soon be enabled to avail himself of his distinguished talents in a post where they would find a fitting sphere of action. To these gracious marks of his Highness's favour and condescension, Akif replied in a strain of affected humility and philosophic resignation— t!:at although he should deeply regret the quiet and seclu sion whose sweets he bad began so recently to taste , his services were still , as they had always been, at his High ness's disposal. The Sultan's band of musicians, who h a d accompanied his messenger, were then directed to regale the cars of the ex-Minister with the most dulcet sym phonies, in which he no doubt detected above all " Hove's delighted measure." Mehemet Ali's superb steam-frigate the Nile, is now at anchor near the arsenal. She has come for the purpose of taking back to Alexandria the Paella's daughter-in-law, for whom she also brings some thousand purses of piastres, as presents from the Paella's harem. Dispatches from Col. Campbell have also come by her for Lord Ponsonby. From these it appears that the Colonel has succeeded in obtaining the withdrawal of some commercial privileges, by which Russia was exempted from the burdens and restrictions by which our tariff and that of other nations are still shackled. Now, as we had much to gain and Russia little to lose by those commercial regulations, the most obvious as well as the most rational plan would have been to have placed our tariff on the same equitable and advantageous basis as that enjoyed by Russia, rather than to have reduced hers to our own, which is clearly against our treaties with the Porte, whose , operation ought to extend to Egypt. This is making bad worse ; and there is no doubt that Russia willingly abandoned her exclusive rights, rather than compromise the monopolising interests of her inalienable ally Mehemet Ali. The extent of his services to her has not yet been entirely brought to light. His en deavours to defeat the object of the British Govern ment in the navigation of the Euphrates have, it is true, been made known ; also the ingenious document which he sent to the Porte, in reply to the Sultan's firman on this occasion, wherein he exposes the ulterior designs of the British Government, which, under commercial pretexts, was paving the way to military possession, and all which ho attempted to prove by a circumstantial reference to our pro= gress in India. Now it was clear that all these arguments and ideas, clever as he is, could never have proceeded from Mehemet Ali, that they were as much the offspring of his brain as the treaty of St. Petersburgh itself. In short, he was put forward by Russia, who had failed in carrying the point directly with the Divan. It has just been discovered also that she has been making precisely the same use of him to support her influence and favour her views at the Court of Teheran. Dispatches have been intercepted in which Mehemet Ali warns Persia against the ambitious policy of England, and exhorts her to frustrate it by a cor dial co-operation with Russia. This friendly advice he pre tends to give from the interest he feels in the welfare of a Mucoulman State thus exposed to the unprincipled designs of infidels. These facts will serve to show pretty clearly with what deocrity Russia can handle, for her own purposes, the semi barous Governments of the East, combining or embroiling them whenever she pleases, Though we have no direct proof of it, it is more than probable that she has been en deavouring to produce a rupture between Persia and Turkey, There has been a serious fray between some Turks and Persians at Erzeroum, in which one of the latter lost his life. Essad Effendi, however, who was passing through that city on his return from his mission at the Persian Court, writes to his Government that the business may be easily accommodated. But there is another and tam . graver pound of complaint, which were the Porte in the Otn a ti o n fp notic9 AS Its dignity requires, must inevit ably have led to a war ; ft 14s pop Wert:€l;rl I.:cygnet a doubt, that the Persian IVliri A.sker, pr commander-th,chief, had engaged to furnish 12,000 troops to the rebel chief, Mohammed Bey of Itavandoliz, whose surrender to Res chid Mehemet Paella I cornim-iniPaOd in my last letter. The Kurd had Already forwarded the sOpA,ated sum he was to pay for their assistance, arnl two divisiens of their army were within five hours march of lavandouz, when, being hotly pursued by the Paclin, be WAS induced to ca pitulate. The plague is greatly on the increase, and is making great ravages at Constantinople. The number of deaths reported last week from the Greek hospital was upwards of 90, which forms but a small proportion of the whole mor tality. The Government is now entertaining a project, on a grand scale, for the gradual suppression of the plague in Turkey. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

THE GREAT MATCH BETWEEN WATTS AND PHELPS.—The diversity of opinion relative to the prowess of these men is at length set at rest. There is not one of the gentlemen who witnessed the match of yesterday who has a single doubt upon the subject. Watts was admirably beaten, and that too on his own terms. Phelps deserved the laurel, for never did a man exhibit such unflinching bottom under the disadvantage of a stern-chase as did the hero of Fulham. We have on more than one occasion detailed the victories gained by each of these men. Watts has long been considered very formidable, and Phelps, until he won the sovereigns given by the gentlemen frequenters at Lyons's, was thought but little or nothing of. He has worked slowly and steadily up-bill, and has on more than one occasion deceived the cognoscenti. He was even taken by the hand on this occasion by Mr. Layton, a gentle man whose abilities as a sculler, and whose patronage of river sports, has constituted him a leading star. Still Mr. Layton was not inclined to back Phelps to row anything . but a clear right-away contest. He expresses himself dissatisfied with the system of fouling, now that "boats are not barges," as they were some years since more allied to than the light shell turned out in the present day. However just the opinion may be, and that, too, from a very able waterman, there are many who en tertain an idea that it is next to an impossibility for men to row without some description of fouling. When the match was broken off a few days since the prevalent opinion was that Phelps had naturally been consulted, and did not think he stood so good a chance in the fouling as without, and it was not until the Fulham man became uncomfortable at the seem ing reflection upon his skill that the match was made. Mr. Layton very handsomely abrogating his own view of wagering, lest any insinuation should affect Phelps's credit as a sculler. The whole of the long boats belonging to the respective clubs had been stowed away for the winter, but the boat-builders were literally besieged yesterday, as everybody had money on it, and all were desirous of enjoying that which they considered would afford a perfect treat. They were not deceived in their anticipations, nor could they have selected a finer day for their invigorating exercise. Betting an hour before the start was 5 to 4on Phelps, with plenty of takers to any amount. Although Phelps has twice defeated Watts, it was never considered that he had been vaequished. There was always a saviti clause. It bad occurred that Watts had been unlucky, and so sanguine were his admirors that many laid their money even, taking Watts for choice, and in this view some of the most expert watermen on the river joined. Many of those who had given 6to 4 edged a little. The Thames boasted the attendance of nearly the whole of the river gentlemen who could get to town time enough for the match, and the galleys were very numerous. The contest was for 20/. aside, to row a waterman's wager from Westminster to Putney, with tide, about three quarters of an hour before high water, The men drew for stations. Watts won the choi ce , an d t oo k th e fa vourite one on the north shore. They both looked in admi rable condition, and surveyed each other from top to toe, It had been arranged that they should start themselves, and they laid down to their scull handles in readiness for the go off. At twelve minutes to four they w e r e o ff„ but Phelps did not display his usual quickness. Watt% evidently had the best of it, and went within Lucas's road at a slashing pace, Phelps set his boat admirably and did not manifest any ;Annoyance at the leading place occupied by his adversary, The struggle was grand. Off the Penitentiary Watts was a good sixteen yards a •bead, nor did his opponent seem to gain at all on him. In fact, he appeared to ho reserving his strength for the grand push. Watts was fifty yards a-head off the first mile beyond Vauxhall Bridge. He was still holding on admirably, and in shooting to the Red House rowed with incredible speed, At the Red House Phelps was nearly two hundred yards astern, but it was evident that Watts had" shot his race," The labour was on the left hand all the way up, and he was using both hands to that scull. He called to Parish for another scull, ia order to try the benefit a change. There was no time to check his way, as Phelps, was rowing amazingly fast, ei4' was gaining en him, Every face was the picture of anxiet, and the ()beers to each man were long and repeated. The rowing for about three minutes was desperate, but Phelps was as fresh as at starting, and still drew on his adversary. He came along side, and in five or six more strokes his scull was before the stern of Watts's boat. Watts was determined on a desperate manoeuvre, and when within a length of Battersea Bridge went on his adversary's quarter, in order to throw him athwart the piles. The head of Phelps's boat struck, and for alt instant he was partially across the stream. The straits relieved him, and she scraped within the arch and drifted through. Watts had to right his boat in order to clear, but Phelps was right away from him, Still he had his work to do, but was greeted the winner by fifteen seconds. It was stated by Horne of the gen tlemen who timed that it exceeded twenty seconds. Phelps's lasting powers have never been aeon to such an advantage as in the match of yesterday, It was asserted by W a tt s th at h e b a d no power in the left arm at the time his adversary passed. The winner rowed in Mr. Layton's boat, built by Springett, at Putney ; Watts was favoured with the 8:21b. boat Wilt by Chandler and Hunt for Mr. Hood. ArrAIR.
