RUSSIA AND TELE', FORTE. (Continued from our Paper of yesterday.) NUREMBURG, SEPT. 1.1. CONTINUATION OF 'THE REPLY or THE SUBLIME PORTE TO BARON !i`rCGON'OFF'S NOTE OF THE 6Ttt OF JULY (OLD STILE), .'DATED THE 26TH OF JULY, 1821. " The Greek nation (the cause of so much disorder, confu sion, and dispute) perceives at the first, that it has been from father to son subject and tributary to the Sublime Porte, which has even to this day favoured it to a degree which is incompa tibliwith the condition of a subject. The Ecclesiastics parti- Cularly, who are the heads of the nation, and the Greeks of • Fanal, have enjoyed great privilege with 'respect to the choice of their food, dress, and habitation. The Government has not at any time interfered in matters concerning their religion ; it has not restrained the free exercise of their worship, nor meddled with their Churches ; and, moreover, when any of the churches were consumed by fire, or had fallen into ruins, on their request permission was given to repair or rebuild them according to the .albwance of the Mahumetan law. " Nevertheless, forgetful of this heavenly favour, they have yirlled to the sazgestions of a diabolical spirit, in raising the standard of revolution against the authority of the Sublime P• rte, their mercifill protectress, notwithstanding the Sublime Porte, always observant of the magnanimity and clemency which are natural to it, preferred having recourse to measures dictated by compassion, and hastened to despatch Bouyouroul dis to the patriarchate with salutary advice. These instructions bring made known to the Ambassador, and approvedly him, he took si copy of them. The real end which the Porte had in view in addressing those iriatnietiozla to the Patriarch, was to p&saade him (the Patriarch being the head of the Greek na tion, and having influence sufficient to induce obedience) to circulate anathemas in every direction, exhorting to submission, to save his own nation,, by stifling without any clamour the germ of rebellion cherished by the deceived Ray-as, as well in the capital as in other parts of the Empire. But, on the con trary, the Patriarch, the visible head of his nation, was at the same time the secret leader in the conspiracy. The greater part of the Reyes resident in the places where he published his ana themas, far from remaining faithful subjects, preceded the other Greeks in the rebellion. " Thus, amongst others, at Callaritha, a town in the Motea, which is the birth-place of that Patriarch, the Rayas were the first in the insurrection ; they killed a number of Mussulmans, and committed numberless excesses and cruelties. The Sub lime Porte ascertained that the Patriarch took an active part in tlle conspiracy, and that the insurrection - of the Rayas of Cilia ritha was his work, inconjunction with other instigators, at first by writing, which fell into their hands, and afterwards by the declarations of certain subjects of the Greek nation, who conti. nued faithful to their duty. " Now every Government has a right to arrest and punish, withc'it mercy, such malefactors, in order to preserve tranquil lity in its dominions and amongst its people. In sedition and rebellion especially, no distinction of religion, sect, or rank, whether high or low, should be made ; wherefore the Sublime Porte, immediately after having discovered the guilt of the Pa triarch and his partisans, deposed the former, and that his sta tion might not remain vacant, it appointed a successor. Having thus deprived the Patriarch of his dignity, and reduced him to the condition of an ordinary priest, a capital punishment was inflicted on him without attaching any particular intent to the time and moment of his execution. The supposition declared by the Ambassador, that the time and place of the execution were to be considered as a premeditated insult to religion, is entirely gratuitous ; the Porte never had such a purpose in its contemplation ; this construction, which is altogether a false one, has never been put upon it by any friendly Power ; such an idea never entered the imagination of any person in the em pire, or out of the empire. Finally, the Sublime Porte in this present note declares and repeats, as it has already notified at several times, officially and with a strict adherence to truth, both to the Ambassador and to the Ministers of friendly Powers who have discussed the question, that it entertained no intention of vilifying or insulting religion. " The treaty of Kainardje stipulates, in effect, that the Chris tian religion is to be protected ; but religion and guilt are very different things. Even though the protection of the unoffend ing Christian subjects of the Porte had not been stipulated in that treaty, it would have been always extended to them, in 'pursuance of the ancient prescriptions of the holy law of Alaho met ; the proof is, that the Greeks who have not taken part in the revolution enjoy the most perfect tranquillity and security. " The annals of the Ottoman empire also present other ex amples of patriarchs upon whom a capital punishment has been inflicted, according to the statutes of the empire, and it would not be necessary to seek for them in the history of other coun tries. • however, it will not be improper to remark, that the Sublime Porte is not ignorant, that under the reign of Peter 1., Czar of Russia, the Russian Patriarch was put to death for crimes of which he was guilty, and that even upon that occa sion the patriarchal dignity was totally suppressed in that em pire. This fact being on record in the history of Russia, it is surprising that a minister such as the ambassador, from whom nothing escapes,- can be ignorant of it. Such an instance being found in the Russian empire, it is obvious that henceforward so much clamour will not be made on that head. The assertion that the Sublime Porte caused the churches to be demolished, Ia totally destitute of foundation. The number ofold churches at Constantincple, and in the Ottoman empire, not only is undi minished, and its particular mode of warship exercised by each nation without molestation, but also if any church fall in ruins, on the request of the Rayas, the Government, consulting the Mahometan law, and acting accofcliag to the good dispositions yid paternal intentions with which it is constantly animated to wards its faithful subjects, grants them permission, as is well known, to repair or rebuild it on the same plan. '" -. The Porte is, contrary to its inclination, obliged to have recourse to rigorous measures to chastise and subdue the per verse subjects who have risen in rebellion by land and sea throughout the whole extent of the Ottoman Empire. But whilst that rebellion and perverse spirit, which have already made such progress,- continue to be propagated and augmented from day to day, how can the Porte contemplate any relaxation in the severity of its measures, or change in the system it is pursuing ? " The Sublime Porte is aware that the course marked out by the Greeks tends to organize a general Revolution. Neverthe less, it has not divested itself of that compassion which it has always entertaitted towards its subjects. It has not renounced the measure of mildness and moderation ; finally, it has not ceased to extend its protection to those who here not manifest ed evil intentions, and ithas confined itself to the punishment of terose who have raised the standard of rebellion. It has not said the Revolution of the Greeks being general, my conduct should be the same towards all of them without exception.' This, however, is certain—that if a similar event had happened in another Empire, La. from acting with so much modera tion and clemency, the sword of vengeance would have fallen upon all." (To be continued.) THE COLONIES. CANADA. [From the Quebec Gazettes to the IGth August.] QUEBEC, AUG. 16;--The day during the greater part of yesterday was very much obscured; a thick vapour rose to a considerable height - aboe the horizon, through which the rays of the sun penetrated with difficulty, and as there were no opaque clouds above it, a glaring yet obscure light was thrown upon every object, similar to that which may be seen by looking through a smoked glass. In some parts of the Lower Town about one o'clock candles were lighted for the transaction of common business. COLONIAL TRADE.- At a Meeting held, this day of the Merchants and others, inhabitants of Quebec interested in the trade and agriculture of the Canadas, to take into consideration the present Restrictions upon the Importation into the United Kingdom of Colonial Grain and Flour, with a view of adopting measures for obtaining their removal—the following Resolutions were adopted, viz : That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that there exist throughout the Canadas the greatest Commercial as well as Agricultural distress. That the slistress which prevails throughout the Canadas is chiefly to be attributed to the Restrictions imposed on the Im portationinto the United Kingdom of Grain and Flout the pro duce of these Provinces. That a continuance of the present Restrictions on the Impor tation .of Grain and Flour from the Canadas into the United Kingdom will entail the most ruinous consequences on the whole population of these Provinces. • That if the present Restrictions are persevered in, the Com mercial intercourse between these Provinces and the United Kingdom will be nearly ; Grain particularly wheat, being the staple article of the Canadas, and the principal means which the inhabitants have of paying their debts. That unless the Grain and Flour of the Canadas are ad mitted into the United Kingdom for home consumption, the Merchant who imports British Manufactures will be deprived of the chief means of paying for them. That it is opinion of this Meeting that it appears highly ex pedient that a Petition be prepared to the Imperial Parliament exposing the grievance under which the Canadas labour, and praying for relief. ' A draft of a Petition prepared by the Committee of Trade was then read, the same agreed to, and a copy for each branch of the Imperial Parliament ordered to be transcribed upon parchment. It was afterwards resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting that it is expedient to appoint five gentlemen,wh), in conjunction with the Committee of Trade, shall give communication of the Resolves and Peti tion adopted by this Meeting, to the several Seigneurs and others interested in the different CountieS of this District, and to recommend the adoption of like measures in the mode which may to them respectively appear best calculated to procure a removal of the grievance complained of. Resolved, That the following Gentlemen be added to the Committee of Trade; for the foregoing purpose, vii.:—Doctor Manchet and John Neilson, Phillip Pallet, Charles Langevin, and Frangois Quirouet, Esquires. Resolved, That a Subscription be opened to defray the ex pences that may be incurred in promoting the foregoing objects. Resolved, That the foregoing Resolutions be inserted in the Public Papers in both languages. JOHN STEWART, Chairman. Quebec, Aug. 15, 1821. BERMUDA Drsru TEs.—The Governor ordered the old war dens of ..St. George's Church, to make up their accounts and transfer them to the new wardens—allowing them two months for the settlement of their accounts, when it is contended that the ecclesiastical law allows them two years for that purpose.— They treated this order with contempt; he then threatened them in various ways, and told them they should go to " pri son, where no power under heaven could release them," See._ He sent his constables after them to attend his court; they re fused to come, and he then sent and brought them by military force to the Church, where, with closed doors, he ordered them to comply with his demands ; but they were stubborn, and after much threatening on the part of the GoVernor, they were com mitted to jail, under a military guard. The governor had said that tie parish Church of St. George's had " become a den of thieves." 13oth of the Bermuda editors have introduced their articles by saying, the Devil can quote scripture for his purpos.i. The Bermudian compliments the Governor by observing that, " as every good man has long been debarred from entering its gates, the public knows well who to place at the head of this den of thieves." MONTREAL, AUG. 14.—As a sailor of the steam-boat Que bec, named Duncan Bradley, was hest Sunday assisting to cat the anchor, on her departure from Three-Rivers, a bar near the bow, on which he stood, .gave way, and he fell headlong into the river. Finding, on rising to the surface, that the pro gress of the boat had brought one of the wheels, with its fornii dable radiation of paddles, very near hint, he dived; but not so expeditiously as to escape a slight blow on the head and a smart one on the elbow. The injury, hoWever, not being suffi ciently stunning to deprive him of the power of exertion, he again arose, was taken into a boat which Captain Hall - (with his usual seamanlike promptitude) caused to be lowered, and was brought on board without much hurt or fright. That he did not experience much,of the lattere may be concluded from the circumstance that he would not get into the boat until he had, with true Caledonian coolness, searched for, and recovered his hat, which he had lost in thafall. • The upper range of the wharf, between Port and Calliere streets, has been, substantially repaired by the Surveyor of Roads, and provided with a secure railing.

I.—The arrival of strangers at the Springs has been very considerable since our last. There are probably, in both villages, at this time, not less than 1000, and the number is hourly augmenting. SALEM, N. Y. Asia. 2.—MITcHELL's CAPE.--In the town of Canajoharie, Montgomery county, near the summit of a precipitous rocky mountain, called " The Nose," on the south bank of the Mohawk river, there haslately been discovered, and partially explored, a remarkable cave. • The whole depth of the descent was more than 500 feet, and much of the cavern probably remains unexplored. Innumerable stalactites are suspended from the ceilings of the rooms, and horn the projecting rocks in the cave. The mouth of the cave is about 40 chains south of the line of the Erie canal. _ _ _ The Savanna river rose at Augusta on the 17th ult. 18 feet above its usual height : The crops of corn on the low grounds have been n....arly destroyed. The Western papers, particularly those from Ohio, Ken tucky and Tennessee, continue loudly to complain of their pe.w cuniary distresses, and of their still depreciating currency. Some of them are at last calling for a National Bankrupt Law. BurrALO, JULY 3l.—The American Agent, Surveyors and party employed in running the boundary line between this country and the British possessions in Canada, under the 6th Article of the Treaty of Ghent, arrived on Saturday last at Black Rock, in the schooner Hannah, having completed the surveys under that article. We learn the surveyors will be en gaged for several weeks in the neighbourhood of this plaCe; in completing their maps, &c. after which a Meeting of the Board for A final decision and report under this article, will take place in Utica. \%'e anticipate, with much interest, the publication of the correct and splendid charts which this survey will fur nish of all the navigable waters, channels and bays between St. Regis; on the St. Lawrence and Lake Superior, embracing an extent of more than 1000 miles, and comprehending, as we are informed, not less than 2500 Islands, many of which con. taro from 10,000 to 100,000 acres of land, and ark extremely valuable. TRADE AND THE CORN LAWS "..-N QUEBEC, Aua. 13.—While thissubjeetisudder discussion, it may be proper to observe that till 1806, Ireland laboured under various restrictions with respect to the admission of grain into Great Britain. The grievance was severely felt in that country, and the fol lowing is an extract of the very liberal act of the British Par liament, by which it was redressed. " An Act to permit the free Interchange of every Species of Grain, between Great Britain and Ireland. [l6th July, 1306.] Whereas it is expedient that the free Importation and Ex.. portation of ail Corn and Grain, Meal, Flour, Bread, or Bis cuit, reciprocally to and from Great Britain and Ireland, should be allowed, and that all restraints, duties, and bounties relating thereto should cease ;' be it therefore enacted, by the King's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by The authority of the same, That from and after the passing of this Act, all bounties and duties payable on the exportation and importation of corn, grain, malt, meal, flour, or biscuit respectively , from Great Britain to Ireland, and from Ireland to Great Britain, shall cease and be no longer payable; and that it shall and may be lawful for any person to carry and export out of and from any port or place in Great Britain to any port or place in Ireland, and out of and from any port or place in Ireland to any port or place in Great Britain, and to import into any port or place in Great- Britain from any port or place in Ireland, and into any port or place in Ireland from any port or place in Great Britain, without pay ment of any duty whatsoever on that importation, in any British or Irjsli ship or vessel owned and navigated according to law, ; any Olt of Cdrn or Grain, Meal, Flour, Bread or Biscuit, what ever the average price of Corn or Grain may be in either Coun try at the time of such exportation or importation, any thing in any Act or Acts of Parliament now in force in Great Britain or Ireland to the contrary thereofnotwithstanding. 11. Provided always, and be it further enacted, That every Person exporting Corn, Grain, Meal, Flour, Bread, or Biscuit, from Great Britain to Ireland, or from Ireand to Great Bri tain, shall declare before the Collector, Comptroller, or other Chief Officer of the Customs at the Port from whence the Ex portation is about to take place, that such Corn, Grain, Meal, flour, Bread, or Biscuit, is really and truly intended to be ex ported to Great Britain ,sir Ireland, as the case may be; and such E .porter shall thereupon receive a like (:locket, Certificate, .t..,etpass, or Transire, as is given ? and conformably to all the like Regulations in force, in case of Goods sent Coastways front one Port in Great Britain to another Port therein, or from one Port in Ireland to another Port in Ireland respectively. 111. And be it further enacted, That no Fee, Perquisite, Gratuity, or Reward whatsoever, shall be required, taken, or received by any Officer of the Customs, or any Clerk or other Person employed by him, for or on account of such Importa don or Exportation, or for any thing done or to be done by him for or on account thereof, or in any way relating thereto; and if any such Officer, Clerk, or other Person, shall require, 'take, or receive, either directly or indirectly, any Fee, Perquisite, Gratuity, or Reward, on account of such Importation or Ex portation, or for any thing done or to be done by him relating thereto, every such Officer, Clerk, or other Person so offending, shall, on proof thereof to the satisfaction of the Commissioners of Customs in England or Scotland, or the Commissioners of Customs and Port Duties in Ireland respectively, as the case may be, be peremptorily dismissed from his Office or Employ ment, and be incapable of ever holding, executing, or acting in any Office or Employment in the Service of his Majesty's Cus tom or Excise, or of any Revenue belonging to his Majesty, in any part of the United kingdom." By EXTENDING THE BENEFITS OF THIS ACT TO THE Cei.xanas, Great Britain would gain : Ist, The certainty of an increasing supply of Bread Stuffs in years of scarcity, independently of,Foreign Powers, with all of whom she may again be at war, -' - 4,-j 2 . • 2d, A certain outlet, (equally independent 61 4 foreign powers) for her Manufactures to the full amount of the Colonial Ship ments. 3d, She would strengthen the bond of connexion between her and the Colonies, by increasing the interest which the latter have in that connexion, and convince them and all the world that her professions of a system of greater liberality as to trade, are founded Upon principle, rather than upon a dread of the operation of the prohibitory system, which is now so generally adopted among European Nations. We are happy in being able to state that two of the persons alleged to have committed the robbery at the store of Messrs. .'Roberts and M'Ueau, in this city, have been arrested at St. Nicholas, and lodged in gaol. One of them we are told is a person who w; - .s formerly under sentence of death and pardoned. ne other is also an old offender. HALIFAX, JULY 17.—We regret to observe that in Ber muda, anarchy and confusion continue to prevail, and that the differences which for some time past have existed between the Governor and the inhabitants of that colony, have arrived at an extent, which renders an - amicable termination highly impro bable. In a general order which was recently issued by Sir Win. Lumley, his Excellency alludes to a fracas that had taken place between the Mayor 'of St. George and the Ordnance Store keeper, and terms the former Gentleman and the Editor of the Bermudian, " two most turbulent and seditious characters." • [From a Bermuda Paper, of July 14.] We are informed that a petition has been forwarded to England, by the West India Planters and Merchants, pray ing.that a direct trade may be allowed, in British ships, to and from the Baltic. By this means the Brit, sh West Indies, it is said, will obtain their needful supplies of lumber and staves on better terms than they have done lately ; and among other advantages, the ships will not incur a risk of losing their sailors by desertion, which was too often the case formerly when trading to the Amencan ports. • Bermuda, June 9. TURKS ISLANDS-BA HA MAS. The mass of legislative business that had accumulated during the existence of the late unfortunate differences. at New Provi dence, having ben happily got . over, and the session of the Le gislature having been closed in harmony—the Governor (his Excellency Major General Grant,) has recently paid a visit to Turks Islands, where he was received with.that cordial welcome and liberal hospitality which on all ocasions do' so much honour to the worthy people of that social little place. The inhabi tants presented his Excellency a respectful and gentlemanly Address, to which he returned a polite and liberal answer. ST. JouN, (N. B.) JuLI 17.—Died, on Tuesday evening last, Francis Gilbert, Esq. Naval Officer of this Province, in the 82d year of his age. He was a man of thestrictest integrity, and one to whom the distressed never applied in vain. - His re mains were inteircd'on Friday last, numerously attended. BROCKVILE, (U. CO AUG. 7.--MURDLR.—On the 30th of July last, illr. Michael' O'Conner perpetrated an atrocious murder about four miles from the village of Perth, by shooting Mr. James Porter. We have not learnt the particulars very minutely, but understand O'Connor and Porter had been to Perth, and on their return home, O'Conner being intoxicated, tried to engage Porter in a quarrel, but he refuSed to have any thing to do with him. When they arrived opposite to O'Con nor's house he told Porter that he would shoot him, and went to the house, got his gun, and returned to Porter, who asked, do. you mean to shoot-toe+-he-answered yes, and immediately fired—the contents of the gun entered his loins, and he fell 0-`Conner gave him a number of blows on the head with the breech of the gun, and then endeavoured to make his escape, but was apprehended, and confined in the gaol rit' this place, to await his trial at the next assizes. DISTRICT OF MONTREAL. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR Jui.Y.—The weather being very favourable to vegetation through the month, the advance ment of each crop to maturity has been very rapid. The Wheat is.gericrally, very fine, and will be ready for the sicle by the 19th of August. Much of the Barley was cut at the close of the month, and some samples were produced of the new crop the'27th.. The Peas are an abundant crop ; some are ready to cut. The frequent light rain has brought the late sowed Oats very forward ; . the crop will be very good. The Hay-making was nearly finished at the close of the month. There is a fair average crop, although the Timothy has proved light, the heavy Clovers have compensated for that deficiency, and as there is a great quantity of forage this season, there will be plenty of food for such description of stock. Lucerne was cut a second time on the 14th, and a third crop will beready by the middle of August. MONTREAL, Attu. 11.--On Tuesday night the 7th instant, about _nine o'cOck, the steam boat Perseverance, which we mentioned some time since as having commenced her trips be tween La Chine and Point Fortune, lying at the wharf of the Cascades, took fire forward Of the machinery, by sonic unknown means ; after considerable time spent in• searching for an axe she was scuttled and sunk in about five feet of water; nothing aft of her machinery was burnt, and we are told that none of her fore timbers are injured; it is therefore thought that she can be refitted again without a very heavy.expence. If-John Fraser, son of Simon Fraser, late store-keeper at Bermuda, in the service of Great Britain, is alive, as he was last heard of in the United States,-he will hear of an event which entitles him to inherit £lO,OOO, by calling at No. 83, Maiden- lane, (New York.) G. W. and H. BRUEN. [Extract of a letter from Cincinnati.] The disordered state of the circulating medium in Ohio has left behind it a variety of denUmiriations, hitherto unheard of in ,the vocabulary of currencies. In the north-east part of the state; )4tibear of middle money, wagon Money, pat current, land office money. • In this country, five quarters, or certainly nine eleven penny bits, can easily be made out of a dollar, which is as increase of capital of the same nature as that which was made by the emis sion of bank notes. In the city of Washington, if a man has half a dollar to pay and has nothing about him but a one dollar note, he tears it in two, and gives the party one half. So here, if you have to pay a blacksmith an equal sum, and offer him a silver dollar, he'deliberately places it on his anvil, and gives you your change by cutting it in two. It is diverting, sometimes, to see the ludicrous scenes which the paper system has given birth to.—An auction crier rides about the streets with a hand ful of bank-notes, offering to sell them, President, Directors, and Banking-house and all, and asking for a bid.—Another gallops through the streets with a horse for sale, bawling out that so much in specie, or so much in John H. is bid for him. —(N.

We have the pleasure to state, that his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK received a Dis patch this day, announcing his MAJESTY'S arrival yesterday, at half-past four o'clock P. M., at Calais. Cortes. timore. DEAL, SEPT. 25.—liarly this morning , the Royal Squadron (except the Dell and Active frigates) weighed and stood as close in to Rams gate as possible; and about half-past noon his MAJESTY, in the Royal George yacht, : passed the Downs, with a fine breeze and most favour able weather, and proceeded direct for Calais. When abreast of Walmer Castle, a salute was fired from thence, and double Royal salutes from the ships iu the Downs. The appearance of the whole was truly interesting—a number of boats from this place, filled with company, were seen clustering round the Royal yacht. The ships composing the squadron are this evening return ing to the Downs, after escorting his MAJESTY across the Channel. Another Lctter•, sane date.—The Royal George yacht passed through the Downs at about half-past twelve, A. M. for Calais, in a roost ma jestic style, with His MAJESTY on board, follow ed by the rest of the Squadron, and a great num ber of pleasure boats of all descriptions. The Squadron anchored in Calais roads at half-past three. CALAIS, SEPT. 25, 11 O'CLOCK, A. M.-Our little place is quite alive this morning, as it is now certain the ICING will arrive at Calais. The Duke of WELLINGTON and Marquess of LONDON DERRY arrived yesterday, and this instant the Venus steam vessel is come in with Sir BENJ AMIN BLOOMFI ELL, ' and Sir WM. CURTIS, son, &c.— We hear the cannon firing in. the Downs, and are all anxiously waiting the sight of the yacht. The quay is covered with people, and the wea ther being very fine, the greatest gaiety prevails. Jamaica Papers arrived this morning to the 16th August (by the Mail), which contain the following important intelligence : j?rom the Royal Gazette of the 11th August.] By the Esperanza accounts were received from Panama to the 20th ult. respecting the con-, test in Peru. Intelligence, it appears, has been brought by the schooner Gztadaloupe, in 10 dais, from Payta, which, we hear, is of the utmost im portance. The Chilian Commander, SAN MAR tIN, having left behind him a garrison of 900 invalids, embarked at Quacho with four thou sand men, who were landed at the Che rillas, situate within two leagues of Lima.— The Royalist army immediately attacked the troops of SAN MARTIN with great intrepidity, whom they routed with immense slaughter, up wards of 1600 of the Chilian troops having been left dead on the field of battle. SAN MARTIN, with the remainder of his corps, favoured by the approach of night, fled with the utmost precipitation, and escaped on board the ves sels, where they -embarked ;. their destina tion was unknown. Now the cause of the Patriots appears to wear a very unfavourable aspect. The Lisbon Mail received this morning con tains nothing of any importance.—We extract the • following : LISBON, SEPT. 6.—The Sittings of the Cortes continue in the regular course, without presenting any thing very remark able. In the Sitting of the 28th August, a rather warm debate en sued on the reading of a note from the Minister of the Interior, in which he asked whether..his Majesty could nominate to the office of the Secretaries of State for the several departments into Which the of airs of the kingdom are divided, one of hif Counsellors ? After the debate, it was proposed and carrried that " th 6 King cannot appoint one of his Counsellors to the office of Se' cretary of State, nor to any other office or employment." In the sitting of the •lth of September, N. B. Carneiro said he had received a mess'age, wriiten. by Jose Machado Cosrea, a native of Bahia, which, in his opinion, clearly proved the utiliti and the necessity of allowing the Clergy to marry. The Deputies of Pernambuco have taken their seats in the New York Papers to the sth of September, and Boston to 29th of August, were received this morning. The following are extracts : " A dangerous plot was discovered at Saint John's, Porto Rico, on the 24th ult. ; many of the Black Chiefs have been se' cured, and will suffer death. The hellish work was to have commenced on the night of the 25th. • • " Fnom ST. AVGUSTINE.—By the sloop Niagara, arrived yesterday, we learn that the schooner Alexander, of this Fort , one of the transports to Havanna, had returned to St. Augus tine ; the Captain and all the crew, with the exception of tad cook, having died, the vessel was carried into port by two pa s ' sengers. " The Franklin Gazette states that a malignant fever core tinues to make serious ravages among the inhabitants of nal' " By a statement from the Physicians of New Utreeilt, •; , `l'f ch appears in the Long Island Patriot, it appears that ita ing yellow fever exists at that place." The complaint of the Canadians respecting the hardships entailed on them by our restric tions on their trade in corn, must be attended to., The only argument which can be employed/ attempting to refuse their just demands, is, that the importation of Canadian produce may ttl some degree injure the English land-owner. -- Very well.—Let this be admitted.—Let the broad fact, that, even with the risks and th e charges of a . long sea voyage, the produce of - the Canadas can be brought to the markets at a lower price than would remunerate the English farmer, be distinctly stated, and al lowed all the weight to which it is in justice en titled.—But let it also be recollected, that the Canadas form an integral portion of the emplie and that if, from their position, they posse ss the power of acquiring some commercial taxes over us, the same position necessarily e r r , tails upon them numerous 'political as well e 5 commercial disadvantages. No case can be mor e plain than that which they make out. If the English land-owner is in some degree iiabW t° be injured by permitting the free importation of Canadian corn, the English manufacturer, t he English people generally, and the revenue, a re sure to be much more than proportionably bene fited. It may be very hard on the English land owners that the Canadians, who do not Pay s° many taxes, nor live so luxuriously a we d ° in England, should, by the cheapness and abun dance of their produce, effect a reduction in t he value of land in England. But it is e qually hard that the superior fertility of some of °l r own lands in this country renders many of the poorer soils of very little value, and th e poorest soils of no value whatever. The proprietor of a barren moor may well sigh, when he refl ects that if the luxuriant fields of his neighbours we re as steril as his own, the effect, to him, would ill some degree be the same as if his land were re t " r l dered as fertile as theirs ! While many f3r °s are let at 60s. or 70s. an acre, and others at `7; or 305., what a happy thing would it be for e owners of the latter if a Parliamentary curs could be imposed upon the fertility o f P:— former !—This would be the way, for J(i e ' m years, to elevate the rents of all the land to higher rate than is now obtained by the best. n it would also be the surest way possible to de` stroy the prosperity of the whole pevle, and i n li c the long run to render even the land itself of little value in England as it now is in the thin!sve, populated regions r'f .‘treierica.
