The discussion on the 'Budget was resumed on Thursday, and was distinguished by tie same acrimonious spirit. The accounts respecting the present state, of the relations between Turkey and Russia are bet-) contradictory. In. some articles it is said that the negociations are renewed with the Pretp.ec,t of peace, whilst in others the ap- Protching commencement of hostilities i 3 con fidently announced. The last news from Co nstantinople are certainly • not of a na ture to confirm the hopes of the friends of Peace. The tragical end of Am, it is again men tkbed, has produced such an extraordinary effect ? i ! the Turks, that nothing is heard now at Con stantinople but cries of war against the Rus 'lans, both from the inhabitants and the sol iery ; and this feeling is represented to have h eetl, so powerful that the Porte has been %Veiled to yield to it, and to order the t ru e'tis at Adrianople to march to the Danube, w hither they are actually proceeding, with the Gr and Vizier at their head.

[From the Jamaica Courant of the 3d Feb.] Extract of a Letter from Havannah, Jan. 16. c ( News from Vera Cruz has' been received, dated the 2d inst. The greatest confusion prevails in t hat capital. According to the last accounts, a conspiracy was formed against the actual Go varurnent, at the head of which was GAUDA LOUPE VICTORIA, one of the Chiefs of the Re volution in 1810, besides twenty others of the s ame party. Their intentions were to establish a Republican Government, and to imprison all the MeMbers of the actual Regency, but they have all been caught, and their trials had begun. The French brig Peace, from Marseilles and MarC.'iique, bound to St. Jago de Cuba, was s poken by his Majesty's brig Bastard (arrived). S he reports, that ten sail of French men of war h ad arrived at Martinique, for the purpose of cruizing in the West Indies against piratical vessels, five of whom were destined for the coast o t: Cuba."

I'l lt COLONIAL SYSTEM.—In compliance with Wishes of many of our Correspondents at se l'eral of the Outperts, we have inserted in ano ther part of our paper Lord LONDONDERRY'S Speech against the. American Intercourse Bill of 1806 ) which we earnestly recommend to the se- Ik us attention of the Public, and we trust that hi s it alajesty's Government will pause before they l ' e llture to recommend the repeal of the Navi g4tion and Colonial System. There never was a more unreasonable clamour than that which the Opposition Papers are at t"lpting to raise on account of the letter which 111 r, ARBUTIINOT addressed to his political fr ien ds, and which was ref e rred to by Lord JOH N 4t ussELL in the House of Commons.—Has it not 41W ays been the case, that when Ministers, whe ther Whigs or Tories, wanted to carry, or op- Pose, a particular measure, that they urged their friends to be active on the occasion ?—lf Mr. ARBUTHNOT had made only a .verbal re quest upon the subject, would there have b een any thing reprehensible in such con duct ? And where is there more ground for eLlsure, because he expressed the same request Writing ? The fault is in the folly or treachery of the person to whom the letter was address ed 3, who, whoever, he is, has shewn himself W holly unworthy of the confidence reposed in , him, and may well be apprehensive of discovery,' as he must be despised by the very persons who have taken advantage of his treachery. But what is the conduct of the Party in opposition, when they are anxious to promote a favourite point ? Do they not urge by personal intreaty, and no doubt by letters also, their political connexions to be active on the occasion ? It is well known that during the first Administration of Lord NORTH, the Opposition of. that day strained every nerve to disgrace his character and to effect his downfall. That the ytolitical friends of Lord NORTH were equally active, in at, tempts to defeat the schemes of Opposition cannot be doubted, and in fact the same practice has been always adopted by the Outs when they were in, and by the I,ins when they were out.:— It is said that " it is no blot till it is hit," but the present blot was made by treachery, and it was a very ridiculous :effort of indiscretion to bring it into public notice, because the .very party who now affect to condemn the measure would most probably find it necessary on particular occasions to resort to the same expedient, which has always been practised, is always, expected ; and has been always,allowed. It is well known that during the strenuous opposition that was made against Lord NORTH, at the period al luded to, a person was actually kept in pay by the Party to hasten in all directions to col lect the Members on their side of the ques tion, and to bring them willy nilly to the Parliamentary field, that they might asset in the battle. The measure is so common, and, under all the circumstances of conflitting par ties, so little objectionable, that even the news papers would be wise in retreating from the subject. After all, we- may venture to say, that if the Party were now in power, and, upon any pressing occasion, did not find a person in the same situation as the writer of the letter equally on the alert to support their measures, they would consider him as neglectful of their interests, and languid in the discharge of what they would assuredly deem his official duly. IttELAND.—We have inserted in aliother co lumn an article taken from the-Limerick Paper, which shews that robberies and outrages are still prevalent in our perturbed Sister Island. The Special Commission, under the Insurrection Act, of course continues its investigations in the County Court... On the 13th instant, Patrick Shehan was tried for having concealed arms in his possession, and denying that he' had any when he was called upon to deliver them up ; he was sentenced, to transportation for seven years. ; James Burdon, John Burdon, and Jere ? miah Conner, were brought to the bar for the same offence, but not being ready with witnesses, their trial was deferred to the following day. Cornelius Corcoran and Denis Lucy were then tried for being out of their respective dwellings during the night. of the 6th of March: • • Mr. Ser jeant Lloyd, in. a very impressive address, con cluded with 'telling them, that " they 'must be sensible that the Court by which they had been tried was not less remarkable for its firmness than for its lenity," and concluded with informing them that 'they were discharged. Cornelius Leary, James Brown, Tim Leary, John M'Carthy, and Edmund Burke, stood charged with being disorderly persons, by being found, on the night of the 2d inst. within the hour pre scribed by the Act. They were all discharged but M'Carthy, who was sentenced to. transpor tation for seven years. The Court sat on the following day, when Robert Bouse, charged with having concealed ammunition, and denying that he had, was acquitted. Thomas Burdon, James Burdou,and Jeremiah Connor, whose trials had been deferred the day before, were then put to the bar. The two Burdons were sentenced to transportation for seven years, and Connor was acquitted. 'We understand the KING-has signified his in tention 'not to embark on his aquatic excursions this year.

Yesterday Divine Service was performed to ihe King's household, at the Palace in Pall-mall, by the Rev. F. W.

On Saturday afternoon, at two o'clock, a Ca binet Council was held at the Foreign Office in Downing-Street, which sat till half-past three. In defez ence to the vote of the House of Com mons, it will be seen by our extracts from the Gazette of Saturday, that his MAJESTY has newly constituted the Board of Admiralty, so as to re duce the number of Junior Lords. from six to four.

The following has been received from our Newcastle Cor respondent this morning : ".On Saturday sight, six ' cows, the. property of the Rev. William Ashe,_ Jun., of Creane,'were taken off his farm by the insurgents,. and. are supposed to have been conveyed to the depot on the, mountains. " On the same night, a small party of these.nocturnal legis lators-attacked the lionse of Mr. Meade, near the pike-gate of Ne.wcastle, at the early , hour of nine o'clock. The servant, conceiving them'to be a pattole . of the army, opened the door, when one of them entered the kitchen, and instantly demand ed a pound. note ;. he also delivered a threatening letter,.order.: ing a gentleman, an inmate of the house, to quit, or to prepare his coffin. Mr. Meade resisted the mandate, when a gun was presented at him through a pane . of .glass ; on which he.repaired to an upper window, and called loudly for the mi litary guard. They then threw a, volley of stones at the ;win-. dows, and quickly retired. Mr. Meade and his family have repaired to the town to live.. On-4.1a-same night, they severely flogged a man of the name of Ward, in the outlets of the town, he being charged 'as-a spy. They also visited several farm-houses - in the vici nity, extorting zontributions. This day, six men were lodged in the Bridewell of New castle, brought in by the out-posts at Dromcollogher and Glanduff. They are charged with being out after the pre scribed hours. " ~ Two cows were most inhumanly cut and mangled by a party of ruffians, on the lands of Monrea, near Newcastle, belonging to a tenant of AlajorSullivan, by which the cattle have since died. " Two men were apprehended, and brought into. Newcastle Bridewell this day, for the abduction of a female, near Castle mahon, by a party of Whiteboys. ' "The constant patrols of the army by night have had some effect; and will, in a short time, bring those unfortunate mis guided people to a perfect sense of their ditty and obedience.'

Country Bankers' notes under 51. will, as the law now stands, cease to be legal after May 1, 1825.'---(Cork Mercantile Chronicle.) By letters from Calcutta, dated the 17th Oct., we learn that Mr. CRAWFURD, the author of the work on the Indian Archipelago, was about to be employed by the Marquis of HASTINGS on a mission of a very important nature, as regards the commercial interests of this, country. Its Object is to explore the coasts of Siam and Cochin China, to ascertain accurately the productions of each inhabited district, and the species of pro duce from other countries which they are likely to consume and receive in exchange for their own. A vessel has been expressly prepared for 'this purpose, and Mr. ORA*FU I tD, at whose sole sug. gestion it was undertaken, has been furnished with full powers aad facilities for its execution. ,It was his intention in the first instance to pro ceed to the settlenient at Sincapore, to obtain the information which the communication with the surrounding countries and islands rendered easily attainable there. Mr. CRAWFURD was to depart with the least delay possible. Much interest is at present excited in the city on the subject of the trade in talloW, and other articles cf Rus sian produce. The tendency of the new Tariff is understood to be so decidedly inimical to English commerce, that an attempt is making to impress on the Board of Trade the propriety of recommending to Parliament the imposition of a heavy duty on articles imported from Russia, particularly tallow, and the abo lition of the excise on soap and candles. This, as the advocates of the measure .lontend, would have the effect of reducing a heavy and unpopular tax, and of encouraging production in the colonies, or in those countries which throw fewer impediments in the way of our industry. We believe, however, that the suggestion has not met with much encouragement from the Board of Trade, the President of which is said to have declared to a deputation of Merchants who waited on him with a me morial in behalf of the measure, that, so far from imposing any new restrictions on trade it was the wish. of the -- Board, it pos sible, to remove those which existed.-(Sunday Paper.) His MAJESTY'S STATUE.—Another meeting was held on this subject at Brighton on Thursday, T. R. KEMP, Esq. in the Chair, at which it was finally determined, that the Statue should be placed in the north enclosure on the Old Stevie, op posite the-Pavilion. It is to be pedestrian, of, bronze, not less than eight feet high, and to be fixed on a granitepedestal. The celebrated CHANTREY is to be the artist. The subscriptions are completed. , . _ The G azetic of Saturday contains a notice from the Secretary of State for the Home Department; offering his MAJESTY'S pardon to any person concerned in the murder of Mrs. DONATTY, except such person who committed the mur der ; and there is also a reward of 100 guineas offered to any person who shall discover 'the' culprit.—Rewards are also offer ed for persons who set fire to stacks of corn and houses, in dif fercnt parts of the kingdom. WINCHESTER, MARCH 16.—The execution of James Tur ner took place on Monday morning in this city. He had been convicted, on the'preceding Friday, of aiding and assisting in the murder of Robert Baker, game-keeper to rl.'. A. Smith, Esq. of South Tidworth, near Andover. (A full account of the circum stances of this melancholy transaction was given last week in our report of the trial.) The unfortunate man was a native of Ando ver, where his father and family are living in much respectability. He has left a wife, but no family, and compleated his thirtieth year. His conduct after sentence was becoming his awful situ ation. He admitted that he was present when Baker was shot by James Goodall ; and that, being unarmed, he then snatch ed a gun from one of his companions,:but denied having point ed it at the keepers, or intentionally flashed it. On the scaf fold he joined in the last acts of devotion with much ferven cy.—When the drop fell his sufferings rappeared momentary, and his body was afterwards delivered to the surgeon of the prison for dissection.

Owing to adverse winds we have had very few Arrivals from the coast, but a good supply of Wheat by land carriage samples from Keut and Essex, besides a tolerable quantity which re mained over from last week. Superfine samples obtained last Monday's prices, but there was but little demand for the inferior qualities ; the price of Flour being reduced 5 shillings per sack. Fine Malting Barley being scarce and in demand, is full. ls. per quarter dearer, and there was rather more de mand for the ordinary sorts for grinding. Oats sold on full as good terms as this day se'nnight, having had but moderate ar rivals ; in Beans and Peas there is no alteration. AVERAGE PRICE OF CORN IN ENGLAND AND WALES.
