"LEX QUIS DICERS FALSUM .4UDE.4T LONDON, SATURDAT, APRIL 27, 1822, T he Paris Papers of. Wednesday do no tht give - ' uc h additi ona l i n f ormat i on respec ti ng th e fines .'" between Turkey and Russia, but the little is contain indicates approaching hostiliti e s. It repeated in letters from Vienna, of a very re i:" d ate, that the question of peace or war "xPected to be decided at the close of the Present month. We think the decision will not be longer delayed, and, judging by the march of Austrian troops to Dalmatia, in ord er) as is alleged, to observe the motions of n, l e Ottom an 'f orces , a l rea d y assem bl e d h ere, considered in relation to the complexion of the latest intelligence from the Turkish and Austrian capitals, we have no doubt that war t wil t be h the resu l t. From the commencement of eh e . negoci at i ons, we had little hopes of peace— of l eflY on account of the great opposing interests v t he two power - , and the popular feelings o f Turks and Russians, both in a political and ti i gkus point of view. B u t, a ft er th e rejec _°ll of th e Ultimatum, (and w e ass er t p os iti ve l y „ t i llat it has been rejected, notwithstanding the in .floations o f the _dust, ian Observer, and the 'al of the Berlin State Gazette) the hopes of :Deuce WLin. ,ch we had entertained ; founded on the mediation of England and Attstria, have been en tirely dispelled. We were prepared to expect l from the earnest desire of 'the Edropean Powers to maintain peace that every effort would be made by the• Mediating Parties to avert the evils of war, and obtain-a re-consideration of the deter mination of the. Divan, but ,we are not at all sur . priied at the unsuccessful result'; for there - is no instance in the Ottoman history •of the SULTAN having been prevailed upon by negociation to re voke a solemn decision taken by the Divan.— Until the blow is struck every. Diplomatic en. gine will be employed to bring about this result, but all in Vain. The critical moment is-at hand =the preparations.of both parties are completed —and numerous armies await only the signal to commence the wink of ctirnage and devdstation. We see on one side troops accustomed to war, skilful in the art of military maneuvres, and commanded by experienced Chiefs,—on the other, undisciplined masses, but courageous soldiers, hiflained by fanaticism, and regardless of danger. The shock will be terrible : and, whatever the issue may be, disasters, without number must afflict "humanity. - The Austrian Observer of the' 13th again contradicts the articles contained in the Augsburg Gazette and other foreign Journals, and the news they give on the faith of letters from Constanti nople, Odessa, and Seralin. " Can it be sup posed,"• it says, " that the Ministers of the European powers to the Porte would neglect their their duty so far as not, to give any advice of the facts mentioned in these letters, such, for instance, as the anathema pronounced by the Mufti against all Christians, the preparations made for leaving Pera, the massacre of the Chris tians in the streets of Constantinople, the capture of Russian ships, and the assassination of the Aga of the Janissaries. Besides ) adds this Journal ) as we know positively that no French, Aus trian, Prussian, or English dispatch makes any, mention of these events, we do not hesi tate to declare them utterly 'false." We are glad to perceive that the' Austrian Observer has in his second article enumerated those parts of the intelligence circulated 'during the last three weeks ou the affairs the East, which are not deserving of credit; and our opinion of yesterday is in consequence fully confirmed, that the material points of those reports are substantial. ly correct. The AustrianObserverdoes not attempt to deny, like his brother journalist at Berlin, the rejection of the Ultimatum, and is quite sitent respecting the notes which were subsequently transmitted to the REIS EFFENDI by the Ambas sadors of the Mediating Powers, and the answer of the REIS EFFENDI, stating that the Turkish Government was determined to adhere to its note of the 28th of February. We are therefore war ranted in concluding, though' we do not require the authority of the Austrian Observer, as we have implicit reliance on the atithenticity of our sources of information, that the accounts we have published on these points, Other , taken from the French Journals, or derived through private channels froth abroad, do not admit of contra.. diction. Quebec Papers have arrived this morning to the 13th March. [From the Quebec Paper of the 12th March.] There are now building in this port six square-rigged ves sels, amounting to about 1600 tons of shipping . The men employed for that purpose exceed 140, and th wages given range between 3s. 6d. and 4s. 6d. per day.. This employment for unsettled labourers, almost the only one, except that given at the King's works, has afforded substantial relief to many poor families. It is no doubt in the power of persons having capital to employ it during our severe _winter, and when labour is so scarce, both with advantage to themselves and to the labour ing classes, who are in many instances reduced to absolute want, and who, notwithstanding what is daily said to the con trary, are in general very unwillingly forced to appeal to the public kindness. The Aurora of the 25th 'of -March contains the following remarks on the Documents lately com municated to the Congress In relation to the transactions in Lima, the official accounts go farther than we have done in relation-to the conduct of Ge nerg San Martin and Lord Cochrane; both of whom the Official Dispatches hold forth in a point of. -view that is odious, though there are some points which are not yet- sufficiently elucidated to. found a positive judgment upon.—Perhaps it may not be amiss to refer to the transaction thrown upon Admiral Coch rane, for example—he was ordered by St. Martin to strike the flag of Chili, under which he was commissioned, and to hoist the flag of Peru, the Cross and the Sun. Cochran e absolutely - refused, arid `returned to Chili, and after making 'ilia report, s a iled i n pursuit of some Royal vessels. It is stated by the way of Mexico, that Lord Cochrane has signified his intention to re tire and to return to Europe, and that Commodore Blancow is to take the command. Commodore Blancow is a near relation to Col. Cortes, lately arrived from Mexico on a mission to the United States, and the Ambassador of whom he is the pre cursor, is also a family connexion, that is 11. Elizalda." Letters have been received from Major DEN HAM, who commands the expedition into the interior of Africa; .dated from Tripoli m the West, where they had arrived in November last. A salute was fired from the batteries on their landing, and the best understanding prevails between the Bashaw and Colonel WAnnntoTort, 'the British Consul, and the travellers ; and his Highness has expressed his readi ness to afford them all the assistance and piotection in his power, in order to convince the King of England of his sincerity. It was proposed that the Expedition should depart for Fezzan in February last, and a competent escort was provided by his Highness to convey them considerably beyond Bornou, at which place the learned Professor Dr. On DENAY is to remain as British Vice-Consul. They were'all in high health and spirits, and entertained toe most sanguine hopes of at least going far beyond any former traveller in that direction. IRELAND.—The Limerick Telegraph states that in the course of a few days previous to its publication, upwards of one hundred and forty guns, pistols, swords, and bayonets, chiefly in good order, had been surrendered by the . pea santry. The arms . wre delivqred up to Captain MINT, B. PLUMMER ) E. EvArts ) S. HARDING, and J.- CltrAoE, Esigise- - The parties • who sur rendered them promised to bring 'in more ; and are using their influence with their laWless com panions to induce- them to return to submission. T,hirty-eight stand of arms have also been given up to the .Reverend Mr. O'Bittmsr, P.P. of Ne*- market, County of Corki .This is' so-far well ; - and in the first decisive symptoar.of: returning tranquillity.. The .convictions,--toa, before the Special Commission, at the. Assizes, and--under the Insurrection Act, .have -freed the country of great numbers of the most desperate of the in surgents ; so that, though outrages and robberies still continue, we are of opinion that the pes tilent spirit of-the insurrection has lost much of its virulence, and that the application of judi cious measures for the employment and mainte nance of the population will subdue it alto gether.-• Amongst the recent a rr e sts, we rejoice to observe that of twenty-seven men charged with having been engaged in the 'desperate conflict and murder of the Police at •Cliurchtown. They were apprehended' upon the information of an approver, and have been brought into Cork by i -party of the 84th Regiment and sixteen of the Mallow Yeomanry. - • - But ' the pleasure which arises from the prospect bf re-established order is dissipated when we turn' our attention to the miserable condition in which the Poor of Ireland are now placed. The Cork' papers state that the dreadful- effects of a scarcity -of food are becoming every day more apparent. A Gal way paper says that several persons have already perished • from famine in the neigh bourhood of Killydesart,—that the streets of Ennis are lined with labourers and- trades people,' who stand leaning against the houses, their arms folded, and despair in their coun tenances. , Many of 'them, on being questioned, say_ that they have from one to six acres of land ; but their potatoes having failed, they, have neither.: present. , food, nor seed- for the next season; and have, therefore, left their land waste, and become, with' their fami lies, wanderers through the country.—lii the county of Clare,. generally, as will be sedn from the following official statement, the evil has grown to the, most frightful extent. Cattle al teddy-perishing from want, and the supply of pota toes and other food so deficient, Mato hundred and fifty thousand human beings must, unless means of relief are instantly adopted, be inevi tably destroyed by the same terrible calamity ! - • • Ennis, April 11, 1822. Snt—lire, the resident Magistrates and Gentlemen of th e County of Clare, feel it our duty, in discharging the full weight of responsibility which this calamitous season imposes upon us, to address you on the state in which the peasantry of this county are now placed. The failure of the potatoe crop has been so extensive that 'we cannot calculate the proportion of our population of 200,000, who will he without food for the three months preceding the coming in of the new crops, at less than three-fourths of the whole. The oat and hay crops have likewise failed to such an extent that many of the cattle and horses of the country have already died. From the want of a sufficient quantity of seed, a large por tion of the land must remain unsown, and we greatly fear that, if some efforts are not speedily made, the scarcity will extend into a second and even a. third year. Under these circumstances, we conctivelie impeiatively ne cessary that some assistance should be given to the lower or ders, to enable us to avoid the evils of absolute starvation, with its eeoally destructive consequences--rapine and disease. 'Hitherto their conduct has been .peaceable and submissive, and will, we trust, continue so, if effectual, measures are taken for their immediate relief. We now earnestly appeal to yoU, who aye Interested in the country and its inhabit Ants, to come forwaid at this awful crisis, and assist us with liberality. • We have the honour to be, Your obedient humble servants, EDWARD O'BRIEN, Chairman. This is i a state of things- which requires not only prompt relief for the present, but the appli cation of such wise and judicious measures as shall prevent its recurrence. There is one indi vidual, whose plans are calculated, in the judg ment of many persons, to effect so great and de sirable an object. "We allude to Mr. OWEN, of New Lanark. Several of the Morning Papers of this day state, that • this eminent philanthropist is ,preparing, " with the• - concurrence of all parties, practical measures for, the-relief of the Irish peasantry, and of the poor of this coun try,' and that he expects soon to have them ready to submit to GoVernment." We know not on what authority this statement is put forth ; but we indulge a hope that it is well founded, obvious as it is that something should be immedi ately done,—that no other practicable measures have yet been devised,—and that in the estima tion of •not a few persons well qualified to form a correct opinion on the question, the plan of Mr. OWEN is deserving of a fair trial. CITY, FRIDAY EVENINI. At the Stock Exchange no grea t d ea l o f b us i ness .has been done. Consols for the account opened at 78i, j, and closed at 783, being an improvenient of a quarter per cent. occasioned entirely by the operations in the market, for report added nothing to the information received yesterday respecting politi cal affairs. The received opinion in the City on the state of affairs betwixt Russia and Turkey is, that the former power has attempted to impose certain terms on the latter, as the only means of maintaining peace betwhit the two Empires. Turkey has rejected these terms, at the sanic time stating, that she will not commence war, but that she will defend herself if attacked. , The vorld`must now, therefore, wait for the decision of the Emperor ALEXANDER, as he has the option given him by the Divan, of either commencing : hostilities, according to his threats, or of retracting his policy towards Turkey, abandon ing the Greeks, and of accepting, instead of dictating, terms of amity. People capable of reflection - can have little difficulty in forming an opinion of the result:; for however much the Emperor may be enamoured of the Holy Alliance, it is not very probable that he will abandon the favourite project of Russia for years, and allow the world to say of him that he attempted to obtain by menace what he was obliged by the Eng lish Government to abandon ; he either had not the spirit to attempt to gain his purpose by arms, or distrusted his own power. If his resolution tend to civilise that finest portion of the earth, it will be the brightest laurel in his crown, and his memory will obtain the gratitude of ages.—Very little business has been done in foreign stock. The French Fives are no minally quoted at 87f. 50c., being 1 per cent. above yester. day's price. Prussian bonds continue at 85. Columbian old bonds are 108 A, and the new Sixes 85. The Spanish old bonds were done as 'low as 641, but they closed at 651, and the new at 65i. No provision is made for payment of the dividends on the old in this country, which causes them to be much less valuable than the new. Danish Fives still continue at 85, and the Neapolitan at 681. The change of the Finance Minister at Naples has added considerably to the confidence of the holders of this latter security. Russian Sixes have been done at 82; and the metallic Fives at 76i. The Austrian metallic Fives be ing 741. American Sixes of 1013 are worth 961, and 1815 101 a 1011.—There are few arrivals of grain this morning. Wheat of fine quality continues in demand, and fully supports the late ad vanced prices. Oats are also free sale, and quite as dear: Barley is dull, and not the least improvement has yet taken place in its value. Lord Londonderry's motion respecting the Corn Trade has attracted so little attention on the Corn Exchange, that it was , not known there that its discussion had been postponed from this evening until Monday next. , So many wise but impracticable plans of relief have already ema nated from the same source, . that-the only . . curiosity now expressed is to hear what farther an inventive genius can devise, keeping out of View the only and true remedies which at present it Is unfortunately not - convenient to 'apply. Re specting the .price of Beer the Citizens say; - that one quarter of Malt costs 21. Bs. ; that' the necessary proportion of Hops *costs 12s. That the mterest'of money, plant, and all brewing expences cost 11. 10s., and that.the Beer Duty .oR one quarter of Malt amounts to 11. 16s. Bd., the whole expenef being 61. Os. Bd. in brewing one quarter of Malt. - It is farthersOd (at least this is the opinion of Mr. VANSlTTARt i l, t tiint one, quarter of the best Malt produces four barrels of liner and that the present pried of Porter is SOs. a barrel, when only, single 'one is taken ; but - when' the consumers take two or more barrels, that the price is 455. One.barrel contains 36 gallons, - and each gallon foul Both piidr and rich pay sd. a pot, or 31 a barrel, ,or 121. fOr_the procluee of one quarter of Malt, which, includingevery charge; , stands the public BreWer 6L6s.Bd. leaving him a profit of 51. 13s. 4d. Out of: which he has to alloW the Publican, the difference betwixt 31. the price which the people pay, and 21. ss. the price paid by the Publican to the Brewer.—Let the Licensed House system be done away with, and ihe Publican will not require 15s. out of -455. to pay his expences. The Brewers' profits in a large concern are equal to the income of any Dukedom in the Empire. But when Licensed Houses are abolished, plenty of smaller Breweries will arise.—Thus fair competition will be established, and the public will obtain good Beer on such terms as will leave a fair profit to the manufacturers of this article, so necessary to the coniforts of the labouring and industrious classes Of society— ( _Morning Chronicle.)

ME LA NCHOLY SH I PWRE CK.—Varther Particulars:] (Extract of a Letter, dated Kinsale, Monday Evening, Three o'Clock.) . . " This is to convey to you an account of one of the most me lancholy shipwrecks that occurred on thikcoast for a. number of years. rr The beautiful ship Albion, of New York, Captain Wil liams, one of the Packets between that port and Liverpool, having lost her . masts during the gale of last night, was driven into Garetstown Bay, to the west of the Old-head, where she struck on a ledge of rocks, and , went to pieces. All the passengers, consisting of near thirty Ladies and Gen tlemen, perished but one, and of the crew , only six were saved. These clung to the quarter-deck, which was washed ashore under an immense high cliff; and were preserved by the most extraordinary exertions of the people present, some of whom were in the most imminent peril of their lives." The Marquis of LONDONDERRY'S motion upon the Agricultural question, which stood for yesterday evening, is postponed till Alonday, in consequence of the indisposition of the Noble Lord. • Yesterday morning the Governor and Duputy Governor.of the Bank of England had a meeting with the Earl. of LIVERPOOL and the CIt.ANcELLo a of the EXCHEQUER', at Fife House, Whitehall. To-morrow being the first Sunday in Term, the LORD MAYOR and Corporation of the City will proceed in State to St. Paul's Cathedral, where they will meet the Judges, &c. in order to attend Divine Service, on which occasion a Ser mon will be preached by the Lord Mayor's Chaplain. Service to commence at twelve o'clock. In the afternoon a Sermon will be preached by the Bishop of London. THE LATE SIR JOHN SILVESTER'S WILL.—The Will of the- late Sir JOHN SILVESTER, Bart., Recorder of Lon don, was proved itv the Prero g ative Court on' ; the 18th instant, by the oath of Dame Harriet Silvester, the rerict and sole exe cutrix, the personals being sworn under 16,000 t. The bulk of the personal estate, including the leasehold houSe in Blooms bury-square, is given to Lady Silvester, who is the residuary legatee. Amongst the legacies is one of five hundred pounds to testator's daughter, ill atilda, wife of the Rev. Mr. Mit chell, of Islewortli, Middlesex ; and an annuity or thirty pounds for life to a servant. The freeholds and copyholdS in the County of Essex are given to trustees (John Maule of Bath, Esq. and t. harles Dyneley, 'Esq. - of Doctors' CoinninSj, for the use of the widow during her life, and, after her death, to his nephew, Philip Carteret, Esq. of Ly m i ng t on , Hants, a Post Captain in the Navy, and . his heirs male—failing whOm, to a nephew of Lady Silvester, with similar remainders. The re sidue of the real estate is also giVen to her Ladyship absolutely. The Will is dated the 25th of April, 1820. His Grace the Archbishop of - CANTERBURY, is expected to visit Sandgate in a few days, purposely to consecrate the ele gant New Chapel, which has been - erected at the sole cost of Earl of Darnley, and with its site so liberally given by his Lordship for the use of the inhabitants and visitors of that ad mired village. The presentation, after the decease of the Noble Earl,. his Countess, and Lord Clifton, is vested in the curate of Folkestone. The young Lady who is announced to appear in the character of Juliet is; it seems, a -daughter of Mrs. GLOVER, from whose merit as an actress, the public may - reasonably derive a hope of .here ditary merit. To the honour of Mrs : GLOVER it should be mentioned, that notwithstanding all Ore obstacles of domestic dissentions, she has giVen an accomplished education to ber Offspring. SA-DLERS WELLS.—This beautirtillheatre was on TUesday evening a scene of the greatest festivity and gaiety. Mr. and (9r. :EGERTON, with their wonted liberality, pre .sented the. Ladies and - Gentlemen of this Eitablishment with a most elegant S'iipper, for their extratitdinary.abd indefatigable exertionsAn promoting the great success of .Tomi and Jerry.— Upon the health of Mrs. EGERTON being drank by the com pany, she returned thanks in a most feeling;and not less elo quent speech, which was received :with loud . and continued applause. Mr. EGERTON also acknowledged their kindness and attention, with that degree of wit and elegance peculiar to himself. After the removal of the cloth " The KING" was given with the most unanimous approbation, after which the Anthem was sung by the whole strength of this'.excellent Com pany with considerable effect. It being his most gracious . .M.AaEsTy's Birth-day, the exterior of the Theatre was most brilliantly illuminated ; a grand discharge of artillery kept up a volley for upwards of an hour, immediately after the close of the Theatre.. The conviviality of the evening wasprolon b c , ed to a late period, when they departed highly gratified with the . ge= nerosity of their worthy Host and Hostess. FATAL PUGlLlSM.—Yesterday an ItiquPst was held before Mr. Uwwlw, Coroner _for the County of Middlesex, on view of the body of William . Platt, aged 17, who was kill e d in a pitched battle with H enry Smellgrove, who is about the deceased's age, in Bow-common-fields, last Monday. There had been no quarrel ; and Smellgrove was heard to say, before the battle, that whenever he came into the ring he.should not dare to strike the deceased, as he loved .him as well as-his own bro ther. It was deposed that the fight was perfectly. fair. After an appropriate charge from the Coroner, the Jury rammed a ver dict of."

A MISANTHROPE TO A BUTTERFLY. Ah, welcome art thou—here repose thy weak wing, Lovely atom of Life, gentle herald of Spring ; What heart but would bless thee, what eye but survey, And what flow'ret but woo thee to rest on thy way, • Yet, poor little wanderer ! this is no place For thee, or for those that resemble thy race; 'Tis true here's a rose-tree all blushing and sweet, And some blossoms where nature and loveliness meet, Here's a beam from day's orb both inviting and fine, — But know, artlesS insect, what fate will be thine Should'st thou linger, all lonely and pure as thou art, Some hornet will plant a rude sting in thy-heart, Base reptiles attack, bitter venom be shed On so spotless a wing, so defenceless a head : Then hasten, oh hasten to Freedom's far ;lain, Let not pity nor feeling thy pinion detain ; Depart with the zephyr—such tourists as thee Should breathe with the blissful, should fly with the free. • When mournful yet pleasant thought's billovis may roll, Like the full-tide of Spring through the Ocean of Be each kind one remembeed, and thou with the rest, In sympathy treasured and gratefully blest:. A welcome in Palaces sure would be thine. • • Then why seek a shelter so charmless as mine ? Ah, why but to teach my fond hopes even yet,' That I am not forgotten—and cannot forget. April 18. 31.

Stone.: After exchangmg the usual .tokens of defiance by throwing their hats in the ring, the. shook hands, and the fight commenc ed. Betting at the onset was nearly even, but rather in fa- Vour of Codham. In .the opinion of some the superior weight and strengtli, Of ICodham gave him the advantage, while others took Stone for -choice, in consequence, of his activi ty and knowii - bOttoni. The men commenced in right earnest, and after - a desperate and well fought battle, Which lasted one • hour and 54 'minutes, victory was declared in favour of Cod ham. A severe blow in the throat in the . 53c1 round. decided the fight, from the effects of which Stone fell with the .hind part of his neck -on the ropes, and although he afterwards fought four rounds, never , completely recovered.—( Kentish Gazette, April 26.)

The Jury were satisfied that it was the removal of the aim.: niea in the party-wall which caused the accident, and a verdict of " Accidental Death, occasioned by the want of due precau. tion in the repairing of the party-wall," was returned.' • A vote of thanks was then passed to the Beadle.of the-Warl for his exertions in removing the rubbish, extricating the suf.. ferers, and afterwards attending to their corufor‘e. ~. , ~: `• ~~1~ •••'. 1..:;.. ; :.+ _._ e : J ~~.
