IVORWICH UNION FIRE-OFFICE. — II Certain anonymous letters and other publications, having been lately inserted in the newspapers. of this kingdom, which are intended to injure the Noitwicis Lox - FIRE IXSU RANCE SOCIETY, the Board of Directors have determined to lay before the Public a plain statement of the change which has taken place in the principle of the Society; in addition to that general information which they have already given through their Agents, as well as by means of advertisements, and by circulars. The principle of the Norwich Union. Fire Office, was for many years that of mutual guarantee amongst the parties in sured, and although the concern might have continued longer upon that principle, it was liable to difficulties from having no fixed Capital; the Directors felt this objection, and were glad to embrace an opportunity that lately offered, of fortifying the Society against great and extraordinary losses, by a large sub scribed Capital. 'As the premiums in hand at the time this change was effected belonged exclusively to the insured, they were not mixed with the new subscriptions, and are.now in a course of repayment to the .parties insured, agreeably to the provisions of the former constitution of the Society. .The sub scription now entered into by an opulent proprietory amounts to 550,0001., and the advantages reserved to the pdrties insured, under the new constitution, are these— I. That they are free from all risk or, responsibility for each others losses. 11. That they receive back three parts out of five of the sur plus premiums and savings of the Society. 111. That this return is made at the end of three years, and is not withheld from persons who remain insured, only for one or two years, nor from those who have had claims for losses. This is the general outline of the principle, and with regard to the plan, there are Boards of Management in London, Edin burgh, and Dublin, and local Committees in other Cities and Towns throughout the United Kingdom, appointed for the pur pose of assisting the Directors in the prompt investigation and settlement of claims for losses. The agents of the establishment were instructed to take every means. of explaining the alterations which had been made in the principle of the Society, and the most unequivocal testimo nies of their being cordially approved of by the insured, were soon received from all parts of the kingdom. A. feeble attempt to prevent the new principle from being acted upon was made by four individuals in London, who ap plied to the Court of Chancery for an Injunction sa 0n.% the Directors, on the ground that they had Misapplied the funds and. property of the insured ; but this charge being unsupport ed by any evidence, and completely disproved on oath, the Lord Chancellor dismissed the application with costs ; at the same time observing, that he was quite sure the addition of a capital of 550,0001. must be a prodigious improvement. The Board of Directors of the Norwich Union Fire Insu rance Society have only to add, that they are desirous the Pub lic should know the whole of their proceedings, as regards the management and general conduct of this establishment, that they court every inquiry, and are open to every investigation. Disposed as they are to act with a liberal and friendly feeling towards other offices, they lament to observe, that one Fire- Office (the County) has lately departed from that fair and li beral course which should mark the conduct of all public bodies. In proof of the general confidence placed in the Norwich Union Fire Insurance Society, the Board of Directors refer the Public to the annexed statement of Duties : For the Year 1820 - - £41,554 3s. 9:1. For the Year 1821 - - - 56,625 9s. 3d. For the last Quarter - 18,470 15s. 4d. JEREMIAII IVES, President. (Signed) JOHN BROWNE, Vice-President. EDWARD T. BOOTH JOHN S. PATTESON THOMAS S. DAY J. W.

East India House, 27th March, 1822. TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 1822. any domestic intelligence. The Quolidienne gives an account, perhaps worth noticing, of a ceremony performed by the Count d'Artois on Holy Thursday :--" At ten o'clock ilk the morn ing, an altar was raised in that part of the Tuil leries calle'd the Gallery of Diana. Before this altar were placed tw'blve children, dressed in scarlet, to represent the twelve Apostles, seated at a table served with fast dishes, crowned with flowers, and a decanter of wine and a piece of bread to each of the thirteen dishes. The Count d'Artois, acting for the King, now proceeded to wash the 'feet of the children, whilst the Duke of Angouleme waited on them at table. The Archbishop of Arles officiated, and the Vicar- General, Abb6 Feutrier, preached an eulogy upon the beneficence, goodness, and Christian humility of the Princes." Upon the foregoing scene the Quotidienne, whiciris,..-in a great mea sure, the organ of the missionary:priests in France, has the following observations'n-L" Never, with out a lively religious emotion, have we to relate to our readers the details of the Holy Supper, of which the Kings of France have preserved the pious usage. This ceremony presents to us the Royal Majesty bowing itself to the name of re ligion, and Princes making themselves the servants of the poor, after the example of the Divine Le gislator, who alone has taught the world how the great ones of the earth may humble themselves without fearing to raise the pride of the little. The ceremony of the washing of the feet, performed by a King of France, is the most touching example of that admirable equality [the original is in italics] which is to be found only in the Christian religion, and which, leaving each man in the place which so ciety or God himself has assigned him, still ap proximates him to the lowest ranks, and gives the more dignity in proportion as he seems to humble himself." Upon the ceremony itself, to leration and delicacy forbid any observation. But what a specimen of cant and mockery the emarks which we have just quoted ! [MORNING POST.] We received, by express, last night, the Paris Papers to the ith instant, the contents of which are of some importance. It appears that a sei zure was made in the French capital, on the sth, 'of a quantity of secreted arms, consisting of twenty-seven cases, containing 550 muskets, a great number of bayonets, 300 pistols, and 100 swords for infantry. From this discovery, we fear it may reasonably be inferred, that notwith standing the tranquillity which prevails in Paris, the plans of the disaffected are not relinquished, and that the means which they possess for carry ing them into execution are far from being of a contemptible nature. From Spain too, the intelli gence is of an unpleasant description. The late disturbances at Valencia appear to have present ed for a time an aspect the most fearful. The 2d regiment of artillery having become obnoxious to the people, was followed to its quarters by great numbers, who called out " Long live the Nation'!"—" Long live Itiego !" Those cries were repeated before the house of the Colonel, when the sentries by whom it was guarded attacked the crowd with their sabres. Part of the regiment then turned round and fired on the people, whilst others used the butt-ends of their muskets. The result was the loss of several lives on the part of the multitude, which had no means of defence. The municipality of Valen tia immediately sent a petition to the Cortes, and an Address to the 'King, praying that the offending regiment might not only be removed, but disbanded. The Cortes apppointed a Com mission to inquire into the subject, and though its report had been received, no definitive mea sure had yet been adopted. Letters from Cadiz state, that a frigate in ballast had arrived from Callao with three - hundred Officers and Civil Functionaries on board, who had been allowed to leave that place in consequence of a capitula tion with the Independents. General St. Mar tin was reported to be dangerously [BRITISH PRESS.] The Paris Papers of Friday, relying upon the character of their intelligence from Vienna and other parts of Germany, continue to speak of a war in the East as certain. They do not, in deed, announce the actual declaration of war, or the encounter of the hostile armies ; but they notice the formidable state of preparation in which both parties are to be found, and venture even to. communicate some of the in structions which the Porte is said to have is sued to the advanced divisions of the Ottoman army. A rabble of Bosniaks, Yourocks, and Albanians, who, when assembled together, will probably be dignified with the name of an army, have formed a camp near Nyssa, and these have been directed, in the event of a war, to occupy Upper Wallachia. Now we find it stated that tbe warlike intentions of the Divan had been communicated with all possible dispatch to every part of the Ottoman empire, and it is to be apprehended that when the tidings reach this assemblage bf persons in the camp at Nyssa, they will think it expedient •to effect the in structions of the Porte without delay, and their impetuous courage may, without the direct com mand of the Divan, expedite the commencement of hostilities. The Grand Vizir is spoken of as having taken the field, and commenced the march of his principal force in two columns, one by So phia and the other by Scoumela. The numerical strength of this army is not noticed, nor is the point stated from whence it commenced its march. An army had been collected in the vicinity of Adrianople, and if the Grand Vizir has actually taken the field, it is probable that this is the army which he commands. TILE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS, April 9, 1822. [THE TIMES.] Advices dated the Bth of March were yester day received from Constantinople, by way of Odessa. They are contained in letters of the 12th (NS.) from the latter place, and were _brought by a vessel which arrived on the 11th, having made the voyage in three days. All the notice taken of the important negociations pend ing is, that " they were proceeding, with every " hope, through the interference and prudent '5- conduct of Lord Strangford, to a favourable " termination." This account may, 'we believe, be received with perfect confidence in its authen ticity ; and it possesses peculiar importance at this moment, by proving that the recent alarm has been without foundation. [NEW-TimEs.] A mass of information was yesterday received from various parts of the Continent, relative to the disagreement between Russia and Turkey ; and though there are many warlike rumours, the general impression from the whole is certainly pacific. The letters from Constantinople came down to the Bth, and from Odessa to the 12th of March.—The British ship, the Traveller, sailed from the former place on the Bth ult., and ar rived at Odessa on the 12th. At the time this vessel left Constantinople every thing was per fectly tranquil, and the expectations of a favour able issue to the negociations remained undis turbed—indeed every thing wore a favourable aspect.—From Odessa we have only a reiteration of these particulars, with this fact, that the Course of Exchange remains unaltered.—lt is stated that no less than seventeen sail of British vessels were waiting at Constantinople for a firman, to enable them to depart for Odessa.— The advices from St. Petersburgh were dated the 3d March (0.5.) They are wholly silent upon political matters, and merely quote the rates of Exchange. MORNING CHRONICLE.] When interests are powerfully affected by any intelligence, it is natural that great efforts should be made to throw discredit on it. We were therefore prepared for the doubts which have been expressed respecting the authenticity of the intelligence of the rejection of the Russian Ulti matum by Turkey. Our readers, however, may be assured that there is no foundation whatever for the statement which appeared in a Sunday Paper, and which was repeated in some of the Morning Papers of yesterday. The Ultimatum has been rejected, and the negociation is at an end. Is it to be supposed that Russia will, af ter this rejection, give vs another Ultimatum with a view to captivate the good-will of the Turk ish Divan ? Are we tohave a succession of Ultima tums, each lower in its tone than another? Is it likely that the Autocrat, with his armies in force on the Turkish frontiers, ready to enter on the long wished for march to the capital, will waive the advantages which Turkish stupidity has given him, and keep lowering his terms like a Dutch merchant, in order to extort at last such an answer from the Divan as may , give him something like a decent pretext for de riving no benefit from his preparations, for march ing back his troops as they came, and for leaving , the Turks at full liberty to exterminate the Ra jahs, the old Allies of Russia ? Those who can believe all 'this, may well believe any thing. It will be said, perhaps, that Turkey may yet be induced to listen to reason ; this we think ex tremely improbable. But even if Turkey should lower her tone, would Alexander be disposed to accept of the tardy fruits of her repentance ? [MORNING HERALD.] We yesterday received, in due course, the Paris. Papers, from which we had previously given some extracts, by express. They contain scarcely SUN. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, APRIL 6.—The following Arrke was issued by the Prefect of Haute Garonne, on the '2Bth March : " Seeing the reports of the Mayor of Toulouse, of the 25th, 26th, and 27th ; " Considering that for several days the Theatre of that City has been disturbed by scandalous scenes ; that young men, for the most part strangers in that city, and belonging to the Schools of Law and Surgery, have manifested criminal inten. tions, that they have uttered shouts hi opposition to that of " Vive le Roi," and of a character evidently seditious, and that they have been guilty of shameful excesses against those who expressed sentiments contrary to theirs, &c. " ORDERS, " Art. 1. That the Theatre of I.`oulotrse shall be crosed till further orders. " 2. Every assemblage on the public highway that shall not obey the summons made to it, shall be dispersed by force. " 3. The Mayor of Toulouse is charged with the execution of this order. " The Prefect Baron de ST. CHAMANS. " Yesterday, a dep'ot of arms was seized, consisting of 27 cases, containing 550 muskets, a great quantity of bayonets, 300 pistols, and 100 infantry sabres." It is said that important orders have just been transmitted to the Superior Council of War at Vienna. We learn from Rome, under date the 23d of March,that the Pope is perfectly recovered from the indisposition which had at first created se rious alarm. It is announced as certain, that the represen tation of (Edipus and the Sicilian Vespers has been prohibited. It is also asserted that the performers of the two Theatres have received a verbal intimation not to play the Tartufe again until further orders. FRENCH FUNDS.

The standards of the Crescent were never before surrounded with so many sons of the Prophet in arms. The march of troops towards the Danube is accelerated as much as possible, and the ap proaches to the capital are fortifying with great activity. The Russian armies, on their side, have been making new movements in Bessarabia, in the direction of the same river. MA.RCII 30.-IVe have received news from Constantinople, announcing that M. de Latour Maubourg, the French Ambassador, has received a verbal promise of the satisfaction which he had demanded with much dignity and energy, for the insults offered to the French consular agents by the Turkish Commanders-in-Chief in Syria and Cyprus, as well as for the excesses and cruelties committed towards Christians of the countries of the west, who are under the protection of France ; but his Excellency demands a promise in writing. French subjects are, however, treated with much respect, as well at Constantinople as in the other parts of Turkey. There is even reason to hope that the losses .which the French merchants have sustained for some years past in the Levant will be made good. NUREMBURG, MARCH 31.—(Extract from a private correspondence.)—lt is asserted that the Court of Vienna will notify to the great Powers, that in consequence of the little success of the negociations which it had carried on at Constan tinople, it has ceased to be mediator in the dif ferences between Russia and Turkey, reserving to itself the right of taking such measures as circumstances may require.—Letters from Con stantinople say that the Grand Vizier will im mediately go to Adrianople, there to act as Gene ralissimo of the Ottoman Armies.—A report (which needs confirmation) was in circulation yesterday, that some warm skirmishes had already taken place on the Pruth, between the Russian and Ottoman corps. More certain information is impatiently expected.—We learn from Warsaw, that a considerable corps of Polish cavalry is to march to Lithuania, and that the Commander-in- Chief of these troops will have his head-quarters at Wilna.- 7 -A report is current, that the Russian agent at Teheran has succeeded in concluding an offensive and defensive alliance with Persia ; and it is even affirmed that a secret article of the treaty assures to the Schell the possession of Ar menia, as soon as the Turks shall be expelled from it. If this important news is confirmed, it is supposed that the English resident, who has em ployed all his efforts to counteract the negocia tions of the Russian agent, will quit Teheran, where his presence would henceforward be of no advantage to the interest of his Government. ST. PETERSBURGH, MARCH 13.—1 n Poland, the prices of grain have risen considerably, in conse quence of the large purchases lately made for the armies, which is a great relief to the farmers, who have suffered severely by the low pi-ices.— lt is said that several young Poles, of the 'first families, have offered themselves as volunteers, in case of war with the Turks.—A report is cur rent that our fleet is . to he fitted out imme diately. Accounts from the frontiers of Bessarabia say, " On the whole left bank of the Danube a com plete famine prevails, in consequence of the ex tortions of the provisional Ottoman authorities. The Janissaries absolutely refuse to quit Con stantinople, where, in case of war (which they ardently desire), they reckon on a general pil lage and massacre of the rich Greeks."—The Porte has sent the strictest orders to all the PRICE SEVENPENCE... Pachas in Europe to arm and exercise all the young men in their Pachaliks. In proportion a? they have acquired some knowledge in the use of arms, they are to be sent to one of the two armies of reserve, which these Pachas are ordered to form. The number of Ottoman troops can toned in Moldavia and Walachia is estimated at 150,000 men, chiefly Asiatics. The Officers of different European nations who have joined the Greeks, have introduced among them European tactics : the artillery, in particular, has been considerably improved. ODESSA, MARCH 12.—The Porte has suffered nothing to transpire relative to the negotiation at Teheran ; but the Armenians at Constanti nople have news that the Court of Persia refuses to make peace, unless the terms which it ,bas proposed are accepted • one of which is, the cession of Armenia. If the Court of Tehentn persists in this demand, peace.is not to be tliougitt of. The Porte places -much reliance on the in fluence of the English Resident at Teh e ra n, vitto has again offered his mediation to adjust the dif ferences between the two Powers. But the,ifi fluence of this agent is in 4otne measure paralysed by that of the agent of another great Power, who counteracts the influence of the former, and is more favourably listened to. It is, therefore, expected that the Persians will resume hostile operations in the spring. During the winter the two armies have not changed their positions. . MARCH 13.—The following order of the Mi litary Governor of the Chersonesus, Count de Langeron, has just been published here : " The Committee established by order of his Imperial Majesty, at Odessa, for the organiza tion of a free port, in execution of the instruc tions prescribed in the report of his Excellency the Minister of Finance, and confirmed by his Imperial Majesty, on the Ist of June, 181, makes known to all those carrying on trade within the limits of the said free port, that, by virtue of the 14th Article of the aforesaid Re port, they will be required, on or before the Ist of - next March, to declare on oath, before the Committee, what quantity of foreign merchan dize has been in their possession since the open ing of the free port ; and whether this mer chanclize is in warehouse, or under quarantine. Those who fail in making this declaration within the prescribed time will have their goods confis cated." FRANKFORT, MARCH 5.--Many strangers are already arrived for the approaching Easter Fair; but we already anticipate that it ►vill not be favourable. Manufactured goods of all kinds seem to decline in price, and the extraordinary depreciation of the value of grain obliges the country people to confine their purchases to what is indispensably necessary, which of course must lessen the demand at the Fair. Wool is almost the only article of agricultural produce which maintains its price. VIENNA, MARCH 26.—The Austrian Observer of the 24th, 25th, and 26th March does not con tain any news whatever relative to the affairs of Turkey, Greece, or Russia. HAMBURGII, MARCH 2 9.—Accounts from St. Petersburgh of the 15th March say, that the American Company have received information of the breaking out of a dreadful volcano, which opened at the beginning of March last year, in the Island or Unmak, one of the Aleutian Islands, and on its first eruption, which was very violent, covered Oonalaska, and even some more distant islands, with sand, soot, and ashes. Accounts have been received at Copenhagen from Iceland. While the winter in the east of Europe has been remarkably mild, it set in early in Iceland with great rigour. Vast quantities of snow fell, and the northern and eastern coasts were wholly blocked up with floating ice. In the night of the 20th December, the mountain Oefields Jokel, to the south east of Ueda, which has been at rest ever since 1612, began to emit f►re, so that the ice with which it was covered suddenly burst with a dreadful crash, the earth trembled, and immense masses of snow rolled from the summit of the mountain, a height of 5500 feet. Ever since a large column of fire has been rising from the mountain, which threw out vast quantities of ashes and stones, some of the latter weighing from 50 to 80 pounds, being, cast to the distance of a German mile (five Eng) + ish miles.) The mountain continued to burn till the Ist of February, and smoked till the 23d, but at that time the ice had again collected round the crater. The weather a was very unsettled and stormy during the eruptions. Cape Town Gazettes, to the 12th January, supply the following intelligence : " The last Mail from Bathurst has brought an account of the successful entry of the coasting schooner, Elizabeth, Francis Lisboa master, into the Kowie River on the 9th November. " This vessel arrived off the Kowie's mouth on the previous evening, anchored in the roadstead, and sailed in at high water the following day without any difficulty. Thus is the important point of the practicability of the navigation of Kowie finally ascertained ; and the settlers, after all the difficulties and priva tions to which two seasons of unprecedented calamity and dis tress have exposed them, have now the prospect before them of all the advantages to be derived from a water communication into t he heart of the locations. The bason formed by the Kowie is capacious and perfectly safe. Vessels may discharge their'car goes on the River's bank from their decks. The village about to be built on this desirable spot will be about nine miles from Bathurst, and about 25 from Graym's Town. From Port Elizabeth to Graham's Town, or Bathurst, the distance is not less than 110 miles. Such an extent of land carriage ;night have paralysed the hest exertions of the new, colonists.
