His Majesty is far from thinking that there are any Poles so perverse as studiously to ruin the fairest hopes of their country ; but the linister warns them that this danger may be Created by a slavish imitation of the means resorted to, though for very different purpos e s, -- by th e di stur b ers of the public peace in other countries, by the inconsiderate preaching of vain theories, which are incompatible, in practice,: with the preservation of social order. If, before the events which plunged Europe into an abyss, some real friends to their country were induced, bY th e s i ncere hope of attaining a better order of hiugs,.it. is now impossible, after the dreadful experience that we have had, to give way to such fatal illusions, or to shew indulgence to wards those who spread them."

CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. all The Consols for the account opened this morning at 78i (I were extremely steady during the day. The business trans tted was on a small scale, and prices did not, in the least, vary !fore the close of the market. The new fitrming • scheme of the pot has had no effect on the money-market, because many R .41111 k that it will find no contractors. 'There is,_ however, a re ort that the South Sea Company will undertake it. It is said 1 4 th e y will issue bonds, bearing 4 per cent. interest, on the se tority of the contract, and that there is an understanding with hank ot England that they will receive these bonds at that tzterest per annum. Perhaps before the 45 years expire, Eng . Zinnen will pay for another South Sea Bubble. It is a daring t itenipt to raise money at a time when the public estimates state abovehere is an annual collection from the people of 5 millions t w what wanted for the expenditure of the empire.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDE..47' .2 LONDON, THURS'DAY, MAY 9, 1822. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Monday. The Journal des Dl:bats of the pre ceding day gives a literal translation of the 'amour Turkish Note of the 28th of February , rejecting the Ultimatum, which differs in no es sential respect from the article extracted in our columns on the Bth ultimo, from the same paper, as the substance of it. The determi nation of the Porte not to accede to the conditions proposed by Russia is evident enough ; and we are at a loss to conceive how their differences are to be amicably adjusted ; one party propos ing terms as the only conditions on which she will consent to refrain from hostilities, and the other rejecting those very terms as incompatible with the dignity and security of its Throne. The Greeks are represented as active and suc cessful in their operations. Being now complete masters of the Morea u they have carried war into Greece Proper, whither fresh troops are marching from various points.

Nothing is spoken of but the insurrection of the Greeks, and the support which Russia has given to them. All other points are passed over. The Russians are only men tioned with reference to the Greeks.—Has ever," exclaims one of these orators, "has ever the Sublime Porte carried treachery so far as to instigate to a violation of faith the inhabitants of the provinces which Russia, by unjust weapons, forcibly tore from the land of the Believers ? Were these provinces not con , quered in war, as we conquered Greece 400 years ago ? But the Russians say religion admits of no right of conquest, and therefore the Greek Christians were not bound to acknowledge it! Would they assent to such a proposition if the sons of Mahomet, under Russian sovereignty, were to hold this lan guage ? Never has the Sublime Porte endeavoured to seduce a subject of the neighbouring powers from his allegiance ; but at all times, in war and peace, the Russians sought to seduce our subjects.— We can put faith in no Christian, not even when he wishes to give us good counsel. His own interest directs every counsel, every aid.—As the present differences began in diversity of religion, the Turk considers the war as one of reli gion, and you may be convinced that the war will be the more violent, as the people believe the object is the extirpation of Mahometanism, and that consequently their all is at stake. ,Extract of a Leiter from Sierra Leone, Dee.2.] "In my last I mentioned that two officers and two men of his Majesty's ship Myrmidon were wounded by the Spaniards. On the arrival of that ship off the river Bonny, Lieutenant Bing ham was sent in the gig to examine the river, and to gain information respecting any vessel that might have Slaves on board. This officer, on en tering the creek, observed a brig and a schooner, under Spanish colours, and pulled towards them ; neither vessel exhibiting the least appearance of res;stance. On nearing the brig, which was moored across the creek, Lieutenant Bingham hailed her, but was answered by a heavy fire of grape-shot and musketry. By the first broad side Lieutenant Bingham was severely wounded, and his boat .-crew made their way out of the creek almost by a miracle; their boat was riddled with musket-balls, and their oars shattered to pieces. On the boat reaching the Myrmidon, Captain LEEKE got under weigh, and at great risk crossed the bar, bringing his ship within gun-shot of the Caridid. On boarding, it was found that the master and crew of that vessel, and those of the Nueva Vergen, had got on shore, abandoning their vessels to the captors. It was afterwards ascertained that the slaves were apprized of the approach of Lieutenant BINGHAM, and that they had removed the crew and guns of the schooner on board the brig, making a total farce of 14 guns and 75 men. Under these circumstances, Mr. BINGHAM'S escape from their treachery was truly miraculous." Mr. JIUME, who must be prying into every thing, public or private, to which his parlia mentary privilege entitles him to turn his atten tion, has received a very smart and well-merited check from the Morning Chronicle. The Hon. .Aberdeenawa Member, in his zeal to support his own zealous supporter, The Times Newspaper, has recently undertaken the task of blowing 11,e horn for that famous Journal, in the House of Commons, since the Magistrates have thought proper to prohibit the ordinary news-venders from treating the public with that offensive instrument through the streets of the Metro polis. Among other swells, in his new and honourable vocation, he took upon himself to assert, the other day, that " The Times news paper publishes more than any other two papers in England !" We will tell the Hon. Member, that there are several Sunday newspapers in London that publish many more of each number of their publication than The Times does daily. Each of these Sunday papers, therefore, has a greater number of Readers than The Times; and if the mere number of Readers, without regard to their quality or circumstances,—their property or their intelligence,—is to determine the selec tion of channels for Government or other adver tisements, the Sunday papers ought to be pre ferred to The Tunes. But the nature of the advertisements,and the description of Readers, are the things really to be considered. What would be thought, for instance, of the window of a Book- seller, if he were to advertise a new edition of the Book of Common Prayer, with notes, in Carlile's Publications; or of the sagacity of a fancy club, which should announce a cock-fight, or a milling, on the covers of the Methodist Magazine ?—lt would be about as wise, perhaps, to submit many of the Government advertisements to the tap_ room readers of The Times ! It is a very good channel of inquiry for persons wanting ser- vants : while we would advise servants wanting places to have recourse to the columns of the Morning Post and Morning Herald,—to those old-established Journals, which circulate amongst the rank, fashion, and property of the State. An advertisement respecting property, once inserted in either of them, would in our opi nion be more efficacious than if twice inserted hi --- The Times ! So much for the boasting of this ostentatious Journal, the pride of which must have been mortified by the publication, in the present week, of a Supplement, by its towering and formidable rival the Nero Times. That Paper has perhaps supplanted The Times in many a counting-house and many a breakfast parlour ; while The Times has taken the places of less popular Journals, in many a public house !—But Mr. liumE !—Mr. is not content with eulogizing The Times He wishes to have laid before Parliament and the Country an account of the number of Stamps used by each of the public papers !—Could any thing be more injurious to the Liberty of the Press than an inquisition of this kind,—an ordeal which should render numbers the' only test of honesty of intention,—of rectitude of principle,— UME or of respectability of conduct,—and the only ground on which meritcould be recognized, or reward conferred ! At this rate, Government should bestow its advertisements and its mo ney,—its countenance and its protection, —upon any publication which the depraved and vicious propensities of the multitude might be disposed to favour!—Th e Morning Chronicle, which will not be suspected of any interested motive, has very properly been the first to oppose this vain glorious and unjustifiable kind of proceeding. We cordially unite with it in its advice to Mr, Humt, with the alteration of a single word, " We would advise him once for all to let news- papers alone, if he wishes to render his labours serviceable to "—himself , —a kind of service which the privileges of Parliament forbid us the privilege of presuming to be the chief object to which those labours are so disinterestedly di- recce We have only room to refer to the Debates in the House of Commons, last night. The great question of the Agricultural Distress is nut yet settled, the Committee of the whole House having made a further adjournment till to-day. The SOUTH SEA COMPANY, we find, are to have a Meeting to-morrow, on the subject of their intention to wait on Government, respect ing the required Loan on the Army and Navy Pensions. MR. CUTHELL.

Parkins, Esq., late Sheriff of the City of London, 11., who states that he well remembers Mr. Cu thell in his plenitude, as Manager of the Carlisle Theatre. He mentions Mr. Cuthell as an, actor of considerable talent, possessing great personal and ment a l en d owments, and even dignifies him • with the flattering appellation of the once ele gant Cuthell : as a proof of his respect for his former merit, and pity for his present misfortunes, he requests that informa tion may be instantly conveyed to him, that he purposes, in addition to his enclosure, from the present period, t o a ll ow him seven shillings a-week d ur in g his life. Thi s , t oget h er with the sums collected' through the liberality of the inhabit ants of Glasgow and Newcastle, will most assuredly produce a weekly allowance, sufficient to guard his decline of life against the bitterness of want, and render his journey towards the bourne as smooth as decaying mortality will permit. The conduct of SherifF Parkins is truly praise -worthy, and evinces a heart warmly allied to the noblest feelings. Had the wor th y Sheriff witnessed the uplift e d h an d s and eyes of the poor old man when the heart-cheering intelligence came to his know ledge, and the fervent " Thank God" that gratefully:trern hied on his tongue, whilst the tear of strong sensibility spoke a language not unintelligible to a feeling mind, he would have experienced as great a pleasure, arising from his beneficence, as I did in ccinniunicating it. No. 2, Queen-street. S. W. RYLEY. A letter has been received by express from Paris, which states, on good authority, that the Turkish Government have decided on sending a Plenipotentiary to the approaching Congress for settling the affairs of Europe. Much importance is attached by the writer to this concession, on which the preservation of tranquillity is consi dered materially to depend. That a Congress for the above purpose will actually assemble, is no longer doubted in quarters usually acquiring correct information. Its place of meeting, we now learn, will be Florence ; and the commence ment of its deliberations will not, it is said, be deferred beyond the end of June.—(ll/orning Paper.)

His merit and his reputation, how ever, as an actor, required no such novelty. He displayed the stiffness and prudery of ancient maidenhood with exactness and humour, and his only fault was speaking in his natural voice, for he is an admirable mimic, and might by affected and mincing tones have disguised his voice as well as person. But as it was, there was no delusion, and Aunt Deborah was obviously Mr. HARLEM in female attire. Miss Fonni: for the first time appeared in the part of Rosetta. She gave the airs very successfully, and sup ported the character with spirit and feeling. MuNnEN was sufficiently recovered to give Jus tice Woodcock with hi s usua l humour. BIIAIIAM wanted nothing but a more robust form for the hardy Sportsman Hawthorn ; but where is the Sportsman that could warble the songs with such science and taste? Miss POVEY was an interest ing Lucinda, and altogether the Opera went off very well. At the close, preceding the farce of The Farmer, the audience were indulged with songs, &c. Mr. HARLEY was highly diverting in Jemmy Jumps, and a crowded audience at tested the popularity of the actor for 'whose benefit the whole was intended. COVENT-GARDEN.—M r . YOUNG, for the first time in London, last night assumed the very dif ficult part of King Lear, one of the most sur prizing conceptions of the most surprizing of dramatic poets. It was impossible to doubt that Mr. YOUNG would enter critically into the nature and bearings of the part, and such was the case last night. His outline was correct, and the pas sages in general were delivered in a manner highly creditable to his judgment and his feel ings ; the only ground of objection refers to the firmness of his tones and the activity of his movements, which did not border suf. ficiently upon the imbecility of old age ; yet such feebleness in tone and action are essen tially requisite to excite the full sympathy of the audience for the suffering King. He was of course well received. Mr. C. KE➢SBLE, the best Edgar in our remembrance, gave full energy and spirit to the character last night, and Miss FooTE, who improves much in the serious drama, was such an interesting and beautiful Cordelia as amply justified the attachment of her lover.
