FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. Pants, APRIL 15 —Mr. Rothschild left Paris "on Saturday for London, in order, it is affirmed, to negociate a loan for. the Austrian Government. . • The Berlin Official Gazette of the 6th of April .contains ,numerous promotions just made in the Prussian ,Artily. The letters.from Madrid (says.. the Constitu /„i9iinet), received by the post. to-day, contain no „thing important. • 11. , Cortes do not sit during the.latterpart of Passion-Week. FRANKFORT, Aeutr,,B,---At present the Spe culators:in Government Securities are still in a state of suspense ; but opinions daily become Inore confirmed, and the general conviction now is that hostilities will shortly commence. It appears by several letters from Vienna, that the .11ank. has opened a considerable credit account with the Austrian Government, so that it will tind ample funds to defray the expences occa ..sioned by the military •preparations which are to lae made in Austria. The most respectable bankers of this city .have already manifested . their intention to contract fora new loan, should • it be necessary. • APRIL is affirmed that the King of Eng- -, 'land and the Archduchess Maria Louisa, Duchess: .of Parma, are expected at Vienna towards the end of the month of May, this year. News had been received atiOdessa, . that the, Turkish. Government is fortifying Constantinople. About 19,000 men are employed on these works, which are throWn up in great haste..,. The most contradictory accounts are circula ted respecting the Greek and Turkish fleets. — Some letters still continue to affim., that there has been .a naval, action, in Which the Greeks were victors ; others. assert, that . nothing is, yet decided • ' lastly, there are letters which pretend that the Turkish fleet has returned tothe Archi pelago. We expect with impatience the news from St. Petersburgh ; it is supposed that the ma ,nifesto of RisSia will soon appear. The Austrian Government publishes absolute ly nothing respecting the affairs of the East.— The Austrian Observer remains mute. Private letters say, that M. de Lutzow has not been treated of . late by the Ministers of the Porte with the respect due to him, both as representa tive of the Court of Vienna and for his personal character. _ _ The German Diet will resume its sittings on - the 18th instant. It is still believed that an im Portant communication will be made to that As sembly, in the name of Austria, relative to the present situation of Turkey. VIENNA, APRIL 3.—(Extract from a Private Letter.)—The fears of war increase daily, not 'withstanding the efforts which some persons make to inspire us with a belief of the continuation of peace. I have read the Note of the Reis- Effendi : it completely fills ten quarto sheets, and only discusses the ;)retended injuries which the Porte has sustained from Russia. The ex tract which you have given of this piece is exact, as far as regards its grossness. All the letters agree in asserting that no other answer can be forced froln the Divan, or if it does give one, it will he still less satisfactory. The Note of the 26th Feb:wasitinched in tei'rhS so insolent that Count Lutzaw kept it with bina.until the 6th of March, and used every exertion to impress upon the Divan the necessity of sending a different one, but in .vain, upon which he dispatched his messenger of the 6th of March. The question is therefore de termined on the part of the Turks, and it remains, to be seen whether the Emperor Alexander -will carry his forbearance and love of peace so far as to submit to these fresh insults, And enter into new negotiations. There are many persons who think so.; and it must be confessed the" diplomatic carps of Pera is of lhat, opinion; but the majority of persons at Vienna think otherwise, one proof of which is .:that our funds continue to fall. It ought how. -eVer to be stated that the report of a new loan of 50 millions of 11o,rins which Austria is negoci :siting with Messrs. Rothschild contributes in ,some degree to this decline in the funds; VIENNA, APRIL 4.—We are Still' in the same ~ uncertainty respecting the affairs of Turkey.— he following are curious details of the Grand -Sitting of the Divan., in which the question was , decided : The question was to know whether the de- Anands of Russia were admissible or not, after :that Power .had declared that the unreserved ac ceptance of its demands would alone be satisfac tory. The Sultan heard the deliberation in this .Amportant sitting concealed behind the c.,urtain 'of a. window opening fromhis Cabinet into the Colin .cil Room.. All the great' Officers of State; and the Niziers of the Port - then at Constantinople were invited to attend ; a similar invitation was sent •to the Chiefs of the Janissaries and of the Ulemas. I",t was• reasonably inferred that the question of pe4ce or.-war vta3 to be decided. (Here follows a list of many of the great Officers of State, &c. who were present.) The -- Mufti and the Chiefs of tfre Memel :having declared that several of the demands of the Muscovites. were contrary to the principles of ..Islamism and . ' the dignity of the throne, the •• Grand Vizier, as , President of the Divan,, pro posed -thelollowing question :-- " Is it just and conformable to the principles of .the Holy Coran, to raise the ,standard of the Great Prophet, and to call to arms the MusSelmans of the East and of the West, when demands like theseare addressed to the Prince of the Faith ful ?" On which the Mufti said, " Yes, it is just." These words were immediately repeated by all the Ulemas. The following question was next proposed : • "Is it just and wise to-withdraw the ?viusselmans from the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, while the Muscovites have assembled •on. the frontiers a numerous corps which they will not dissolve." To which all those present answered un animously, , " No, that would not be just ; it would not be -wise." The following qnestions were then discussed :-- "Can the administration of the two fron - tier 'provinces' be in. , trusted in' future, as it • has hitherto been, either to the perfidi ous and .traitorous. Greeks, or to Boyars ?"—The-answer was timanitnous-4" Nooliatis impossible." • IC 'Coil ,we restore to the rebellious' Rajas ill their churches and 'their priyileges; - 'io Jong as they ” obstinately.persist in their disobedience to the - SWAM - le Porte ? —" No, that cannot be:" The 'Stittail .approved all thoSe decisions, and • gaveiorders;to the Grand Vizier to cause his in ttotped. by . the Reis Effendi to the ,Eareign Athbassadors, and to explain , to thern_at the same time the reasons which had induced the 1 Porte to take such a resolution • . It is affirmed, that besides this, it was also resolved in this Divan, that in case of a 'ne4 war. with Christen dom, a plan should be put in execution, which was for`merly.under consideration, during the war of the Pirte .Aith Austria and Russia in the reigns of•loseph and - Catherine, but the execution of which was then hindered by the victory of Suwarrow and Prince Coburg. 1! CORRESPONDENCE. The following article appeared in The Old Tinzes of this day. The Letters are signed by L. HESSE, Esq., Secretary to the State Lottery Office, Somerset Place : - Lottery-office, Somerset-place, London, Jan. 25, 1822. Stn---Two advertisements for foreign Lotteries having been printed and published in your Newspaper, contrary to law, I am about commencing prosecutions againSt you for the same, unde r the Ist and 2d Geo. IV., cap. 120, see. 38, by which you will , (if the Magistrates find you guilty)` become a rogue and a va gabond, and be subject to a further prosecutioh for penalties. The usual course would be to send the Officers to you after the information is filed and received; and ivarran't granted ;"but I shall content in self with giving you immediate notice Of your being liable io'be taken into custody, and require your surrender the day thitt the hearing will take place ; in the mean tube, I request that rib wiltithmediately give me your assurance that you will surrender in the'ivay I have above stated. I am, Sir,.your obedient. servant, L. HESSE. Your letters to this Office must be post paid. [The country printer, in reply, alleged his utter ignorande of having done wrong and added, that he would surrender him self if Mr. Hesse would convince him that he had offended against the Somerset-place, jan.,29, Sin,—Your letter of the instant came to hand- this day, and in answer to it I beg to say, that I thought I had assured you you had committed an offence against a clause in the yearly passed Lottery Act (which has been inserted in it for 8 years), and which I have made public by about 200 advertisements. I refer you to the clause in question, and to the clauses for recovering the penalties, and for punishing offenders, in the statute ; to which, if there is any stay of proceedings, it must be by your memorializing the Lords of the Treasury, and their Lordships directing me to stay my hand, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, • L. HESSE. Lottery-office, Somerset-place, Feb. 23, 1822. SlR—The Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury having had under their consideration the meinorialsofthose prin ters and publishers of newspapers in which foreign lotteries lave been advertised, I am directed by their Lordships to stay the proceedings, upon p . ayment of the sum of 101. by the proprietor of each newspaper, in part of the penalties ; and I am to state to you, that my Lords hope there will not be a repetition of the offence, which might be the means,of causing the clause of the act to be put in force without mitigation. The money must be paid forthwith.—it am, Sir, your obedient servant, L. HESSE. Lottery-cffiCe, Somerset -plate, March 8, 7822. Six,;--I beg to inform you, that it will be my duty to report to the Lords of the Treasury, all those proprietors of newspapers who shall not have paid the lOpounds (the amount to be paid for staying proceedings) in the course of next week, that the prose cutions may proceed 'for inserting advertisements for foreign lotteries.—l am your obedient servant, L. HESSE. Lottery-office, Somerset-place, April 5, 1822. Stn.—ln compliance with my notice to you of the Bth ultimo, I have reported your non-compliance with the terms upon which the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury desired me to stay proceedings against you for inserting advertisements for foreign lotteries in your l Newspaper. And lam now to state to you an extract from a letter received by me from their Lord ships, dated the 4th inst., as follows :—" That, provided Mr. and Mr.—do not pay the mitigated penalty of 101. each within a fortnight, my Lords desire the prosecutions against them may be proceeded ; Ari, and that you will give them imme diate notice thereof." • I now give you the nbtice required by my Lords, and inform you, that at the expiration of the time mentioned, I shall move the Attorney-General to Ale the Exchequer process against you, 'requiring bail for the amount of the penalties incurred, accord ing to the 62d clause of the 120th cap. of the Ist and 2d Geo. 4. I am your obedient servant, L. HESSE. 7 - --- CITY, "U - r EDXESDAY EVENING. Only one mail arrived this morning, and it brought no politi cal news ; it was from Malta. No French mail was due, and there is no private communication from that country. At the Stock Exchange the ColisolS for the Account opened at 713 i. They declined a little daring , the day, but before the close of the market prices became the same as at the opening. Spanish Securities are the only foreign Stock which claim the attention of the monied interest, and their variations are nearly in pro portion to the prices of the Consols. The closing price of them was 664 a 13. The - French Rentes are very little in demand here, and the nominal price is 87, but scarcely a bargain is done in them.- Prussian, Danish, Neapolitan, and other foreign funds attract not the smallest interest. —Nothing farther is known respecting the dispute betwixt Russia and Turkey, only it appears by The Courirr of this evening, that the CZAR is not permitted officially to know that the SULTAN has rejected his Ultimatum. Some sanguine speculators in the funds infer from this that his IMPERIAL MAJESTY, when he is privately informed that he cannot obtain all he wants, will be contented with a part. It is inferred from this Circum stance, that peace may yet be maintained. A short period will shew the fallacy of these ideas.—Notwithstanding the very moist weather which has been felt in this and the countries to the north and east of Britain, it appears that , in Portugal, Spain, Sicily, and Italy, no rain has fallen for some months. The Consequence is, that at the date of the last letters there was great alarm for the crops, particularly in Spain. No advance had then taken place in flour or grain, but rain was immediately wanted to save the crops from serious inju ry. At the Corn Exchange this day, there is a further advance on wheat of ls. per quartet for fine quality, which, added to the rise which took place last Monday, makes this article 3s. a quarter more valuable. Two causes have produced this improvement. After the middle of ApriL, , the miller always requires good sound wheat to make a sack of flour fit for summer use. 'The crop of last season produced little of this description, and consequently, the few fine samples which appear on sale, find more than their usual demand. The principal cause of the advance, however, must be attributed to thegeneral opinion that the peace of Europe will be disturbed, and that the consequence will be an improve,. ment in the means, liberties, and.happiness of its inhabitants.—. For bonded grain there is more inquiry.—At the present price of foreign barley, a good return can be obtained for it from Hol land, and also for the low qualities of wheat. Some shipments are accordingly going forward from different ports in England for that country ; for, with free ingress and egress, merchants find little difficulty in affording living wages to the productive la- bourer.—The Dutch know this fact well, and they have no Im port or Export Corn Laws. They are always ready either to give or take, as the wants or superfluities of their neighbours require. By these means they become a great depth for mankind, and give full employment and remunerating wages to their own workmen. There are also some speculations in wheat for the Me diterranean. Should the Dardanelles be obstructed, Italy will require a supply, and a continued drought will also render Sicily, Spain and Portugal very profitable markets for the shippers, of, and speculators in grain. The prospects of the agricultural interest are certainly improving, and that relief which was de manded and expected from Parliament, may yet, perhaps, be obtained from natural causes. Good often springs from evil, and a Turkish war may perhaps remove some of the com plaints of the British Islands, as well as introduce knowledge, commerce, and freedom into the Levant.—At the East India sale this day, 10,000 bags of sugar were sold at fair prices, but not a quarter of the 20 , 000 bags of coffee was disposed of. No abatement was made in` the prices of the previous week ; 2,500 bags were sold at the sale, and about 1,500 bags more were taken after the sale was concluded.—Tal low is not. in demand ; still no purchases of the best quali ties on the spot can be made tinder 411. to 421. The increased quantity of home growth, 114 t the very large stock of foreign on hand, however, do not permit the trade to look for any ad vance here, whatever .may 'be , the prices abroad.—Brandy is again rather dearer in con Sequence of the reported failure of the crop this season. The issock 'Of all kinds is large, and the de mand is extremely Provisions do not undergo the slightest improvement in their value.--( Morning Chronicle.) FOR TIIE SUN. . , AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. MR. Eerroit-:—Having just seen in your Paper of the' 10th a 'most excellent Address to the Public, with the draught of a proposed Petition from the Owners and Occupiers of Land, and others ?. subscribed W.' ' M I cannot suffer it to pass unnoticed, as it places things in the same general point of view as by.the Writer of this and other letters, addressed to the public through the channel of your soundly-principled and most invaluable paper. It is a matter of astonishment to me, that a Paper thus circumstanced, 'con ducted upon such impartial principles, such sound judgment, and generally containing such truly important and valuable matter, should not have taken the lead of all others ; and that the Times, the. Chronicle, and other vehicles of faction, cal culated, as it would seem, to excite general dis satisfaction at every measure of Government, and conducted not only with less ability, but with evidently hostile intentions to the ruling Powers of the country, should have met with more general attention in probably a much wider circulation.—But _to revert to the sketch of the petition in question. It very concisely states the mischievous, though certainly uninteutioned, error in all the arguments deduced from a supposed deficiency of demand and redundancy of supply, neither of v . ithich.can possibly have occurred. It proceeds to state the impossibility of the nation's paying in.metallic currency the debt contracted under a par one, and thatnational bankruptcy must 'ensue, ` and every private debtor in the Cbuntry be ruined, should the present measures, which have increased the national and every 'other debt at least' by one-third, and rendered What was before but too burthensome wholly and absolutely intolerable, be steadily persisted in. What has been stated at the 'bottom of that un signed petition, respecting the Marquis of LON. DONDERRVS calculations, wholly meets with the present writer's approbation, and if acted upon and carried into effect must seal the ruin of the agricultural interests. These statements, and the conclusions drawn from them, are, in the writer's humble opinion, incontrovertible, as every intelligent and impar tial Reader cannot (he thinks) but acknowledge on a fair and candid consideration. Such, at least, is the writer's view of the subject, and he wisheS those who maintain a contrary one to stand forward and oppose It by solid and sub stantial argument, not by a misstatement of facts and conclusions drawn from false and falla cious preMises. Let all presumed ideas of sup ply and demand, as applied to corn, be totally done away, as inno manner consistent with facts; but when applied to Circulating medium are com pletely opposite, and - lead of course to very different, ,nay- totally opposite, conclusions.— Let it too be considered that, with every effort that can be made,• the vessel of State can with difficulty be kf.pt from wreck, and that too in a time of profound peace, with every prospect held out by our rulers of its continuance. What then must be our additional necessities by a state of warfare, which, though not very probable, is yet very far from impossible, or unworthy ofl being taken into the , calculation of every wise' and provident Minister. ,The contest between Russia and the Porte may lead to consequences not easily to be predicted ; whilst the unsettled state of France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and the revolted provinces of South America, may con siderably increase those chances, by which Eng land may, at no very distant period, ag ain fi nd itself involved in a contest of interminable war fare. Austria may unite with Russia in its con test with the Porte, and possess itself, jointly with that Power, of its fertile European' pro vinces ; if opposed by France, that Power (Austria) has an instrument in her hands which may at any time be used with dread ful, or at least with very doubtful, effect against France in its present unsettled state. The Son -of MARIA LOUISA would always find support in a very powerful body of the French Empire, and entering it at the head of 50,000 Austrian troops would be joined by all the half pay and many of the full pay military of that Nation, not improbably push the Bour bons from their tottering stools, or at least render the event extremely dubious. Could that, the writer asks, be quietly permitted by England without a decided interference, and must not that interference lead to a war of very doubtful issue and continuance ? May not Spain and Por tugal, with their new-fangled democratical con stitutions, abjure all connections with this country, annul all amicable treaties, and place it in a situation to render contest necessary ? May not the United States of America, ever intent on their own aggrandizement and our depression, now coalescing with the revolted provinces in the Southern Hemisphere, persuade Cuba to declare its independence, and -unite itself to their con federated States, thereby possessing themselves of the Havannab and .crippling your trade and endangering all your possessions in that part of the Globe ? Is such an event impossible or even improbable, and are we to remain quiet specta tors of such events, and not endeavour to resist them with all the maritime strength of this great country ? All these possibilities, or probabilities, call them which you please, are certainly in the book of chances, and what then would be your situation ? Overburthened with debt, and taxes to meet its interest, your agriculture destroyed, the greater part of the European markets shut against your commerce ; must you not then re vert to that paper currency which you impru dently wish at this moment to destroy, and feel, yourselves but' too fortunate if sufficient cre dit be left you to support that system with the same effect as heretofore ? Your paper might then be truly and effectually depreciated, and your pound note be reduced to less than one moiety of its nominal value. Of the precious metals you have not at this moment sufficient to meet the de mands of one half year's revenue, and yet you madly rush to destroy that paper by which alone the State can be saved from insolvency and total ruin. This to the writer apyears absolute in sanity, and if the Rulers of the State continuing, with the best ,intentions certainly, but, arguing on false principles, and in de fiance of all that has been 'or can be urged to the contrary, are decided to persevere in the present ruinous system, the writer ,has only to terminate this then useless monitory, and certainly well meant paper, with the old adage, Quos Deus vult perdere Arius deincntat.
