FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOR—You will very much oblige me by informing me of the address of your admira ble Correspondent J. S., who has writen on the Agricultural Distless in your Papers of Feb. 26, and the 14th and 27th inst, and by forwarding this Letter to him. As the principle and view of the Petition, which I drew up some time since, are so strikingly co-incident with J. S.'s senti ments, I hope you may find room for it in one of•y our columns. Unless the supineness and despair of the country can be got over, we are lost. Your attention to my request. will oblige, Sir, Your obedient humble servant, lir. M. To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain in Parliament assembled. The Humble Petition of the Owners and Occupiers of Land, Tradesmen, and Others, in the Parish of in the County of They most respectfully assure your Honourable House, that they are on the brink of ruin from three conjoint causes :- Ist. Excessive Taxation. 2dly, The immense importations of foreign produce, with the want of protection for all our own landed produce duiing only such taxation. And lastly, The premature alteration, of the value of the currency, with the con traction of its amount far heloW all estimate whatever. They are surprized at the assertions of those, who for a mo ment prosper by their ruin, that excessive production at home is the cause of the low prices; when it is distress by the above causes forcing the Farmer to sell at any price, and when more than twenty-two millions have been spent in bringing food into our markets. _ . . The altered value of the currency, and its contraction, having increased the national and every private debt one third, to the ruin of every debtor, public and private, they believe it to be an 'impossibility for the Nation to repay, in a real currency, the debt contracted in a fictitious one. _Your Petitioners admit the power of the Legislature by the alteration of the value and amount of the currency, thus to in crease the National Debt one-third, but operating as an cx post facto law, this increases every private debt one-third, alters old contracts between man and man, and, without illegality or crime alleged, ruins one contracting party for the benefit of the other. - Your Petitioners, regarding all retrenchment hitherto as to tally inefficient, in the desperate state of the country, humbly express theh conviction, that national bankruptcy must follow, if the present scale of expenditure be maintained, and the mea sures respecting the currency be prematurely persisted in, by which every private debtor must inevitably be ruined. That as the Nation, from the high state of public credit, has evinced an indifference for a gold currency, and as your Peti tioners regard the premature resumption of cash payments as one great cause of their distress, they humbly conceive that suf ficient security and stability were given to the paper currency, when the Bang of England was compelled, from May 1, 1821, to give bullion at £3 17s. 100. per ounce, for all notes to the value of 60 ounces of gold ; and this bullion was convertible in to coin at the Mint. And they are humbly of opinion that no measure, more prudent, can be adopted in the present dis tress, than to go back to this point, and rest the paper currency on this solid security. Your Petitioners derive from experience their conviction, that their approaching bankruptcy is occasioned by these causes jointly. Ist. Excessive Taxation. 2dly. As thence arising the want of a full protection of all our landed produce, the im policy of which protection excessive Taxation alone can warrant. And 'idly, the premature alteration of the value of the currency. and the contraction of it far below all estimate ; the effects of which measure to every debtor is, in these respects, totally in consistent with the good faith of the nation ; and makes also a difference of 661. per cent. between the grower of produce, who loses 331. per cent., and the consumer who gains 331. per cent. thereby. Your Petitioners therefore, refraining from all political opi nions, most respectfully repeat their full conviction, that as these causes act conjointly to their ruin, so ought they to be conjointly corrected; that the ridress of any one or other of them, singly, cannot avail them, and that no relief whatever can save them, however right in its kind and degree, unless it be prompt and decisive. The power rests with your Honourable House, for which your Petitioners do ever pray. To be signed in the Vestry by the Minister, Churchwardens, and some principal Inhabitants in behalf of the Parish. The Proposition of the Marquis of Londonderry in the Select Committee. . _ " Open ports for Wheat at 675. per quarter, with a duty of 15s. per quarter certain, and a floating duty, in addition, of ss. per quarter for the first three months, if the price does not rise above 725. per quarter, " From 725. per quarter to 80s. a duty of 10s. per quarter. cc Ms. " Above 85s ls. per quarter." Thus on an average of years, as wheat can be delivered in London at . The duty of 15s. Makes 50s. And thus Foreign Wheat can be always brought to market at 50s. per quarter by the importer. If the price rises to 80s. here, with a duty of only 10s. per qr. it will be worse : for Wheat delivered in London at 355. per qr. With the duty of 10s. M akes —4ss. per qr.! This must complete the ruin of English Agriculture ! FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. HAMBURGII, APRIL 4.—We have received the following interesting accounts from Fez, in Afri ca, by way of Gibraltar : "FEZ, JAN. 16, 1822.—T0-day fortnight (Jan. 2, 1822,) arrived the Imperial Ambassador of the Ottomans, Ishmael Mahomet Effendi, with the First Secretary of State, Salabi Bieber, accompanied by 12 Janissaries, a Paella of • Egypti Stuschaim Amman' Bassa, and the son of the Viceroy of Egypt. They brought to the Emperor of Fez presents,. the value of which is estimated at 200,000 piastres. The next day the Emperor opened the papers they had presented to him, and was greatly surprised at their contents, relatiVe to the present hostilities. " The Emperor answered, He was ready, and God would help.' For this week past, this Monarch has, in consequence, been busy with the correspondence from Constantinople and ' Egypt. The Emperor was greatly pleased at the arrival of the Ambassador, and of the Secretary of State, Salabi Richer, and admired the prudence of the latter, who is an Israelite: This Salabi Bieber is the intimate friend of a great merchant named Mayer Ben Mackain, now living in Morocco, who formerly re sided 18 years in England (and who has presented to the Em peror a work published in Europe against the Turks); and • this Mayer has obtained, by the means of his friend Salabi Bicher, the Imperial permission to correspond with all subjects of Morocco living in Europe. " On the 29th, the Turkish Ambassador departed, together with the Egyptain Pacha, the two Imperial Princes, Muley Abd Laudel and Muley d Hussey, the two Governors, Muha med Mahul and Abd Rackman edinah, and two Israelite Secretaries of State. They go first to Egypt and then to Con stantinople. " The two Princes, with their suite, proceed first to the North, where they are to expect further orders. They bring to the Sultan letters, one of which engages to furnish him every month with gve thousand horses, one thousand mules, and 500 negroes, from eighteen to 20 years of age ; and the 'Viceroy of Egypt with 2000 horses, 200 negroes, and 500 mules. The Am bassador and the Egyptain Pacha likewise received valuable presents; and to Salabi Bieber the Emperor gave a snuff box set with diamonds, a present from the king of France in 1757, the value of which is estimated at 10,000 piastres. The Em peror immediately dispatched couriers to Tunis, Tripoli, and Algiers, to renew, within four weeks, the treaties concluded by his late Father, Sydi Mahomet, in the year 1170, SChuban 19th, or the 23d of July, 1757." We have received the following Letter from the southern frontiers of Russia : " 3lmic 10.—The Janissaries have fought with the Asiatic troops in Jassy ; about 500 men were killed on both sides.— During the massacre, the city was set on fire in several places, for the purpose of plundering. The wind being high, 480 houses were burnt." RUSSIA AND TURKEY. PROGRESS OF THE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE DIVAN AND THE AIRItASSADORS OF ENGLAND AND AUSTRIA. Private Letter front Pera, 3farch 6. As affairs at Constantinople have taken a deci sive tutu, it may be interesting to make known the course of the Negociations, from the first De claration of the Reis Effendi in answer to the Russian Ultimatum, to its final rejection. JANUAR Y 24.—The two Ministers addressed to the Reis Ef fendi two Notes, nearly similar in tenor.. It was stated in them that for the maintenance of peace it was of the utmost im portance that the Porte should accept, at least, all the propo sitions founded upon ancient Treaties with Russia, and defini tively ratified by the latter; and that in the actual state of things, it was easy to foresee that the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh would, on its side, reject the modificatimis proposed by the Divan. These two notes remained without reply. The Dra gomans vainly repaired almost every day to the Turkish Chan cellerie ; they were constantly put off with some evasive expe dients. • FEB. 10.—The two Ministers solicited an immediate and personal interview with the Reis Effendi, who informed them, through the medium of his Dragoman, that he had already had the intention of shortly inviting them each separately, to the de sired conference. Advices were at this time expected in Constan tinople relative to the fate of Ali Pacha of Janina, and the Grand Vizier had given orders to the Reis Effendi to elude all the demands of the Foreign Ministers, until the looked-for in telligence should have arrived. FEB. 14.—An Agasi, accompanied by several Tartars, brought an Official dispatch from Chourschid Pacha, announcing the death of Ali Pacha. The Dragomans were witnesses of the excessive joy that this intelligence excited in the Turkish Chan cellerie, and amongst the dignitaries of the Empire. On the same day the Austrian Internuncio obtained the solicited au dience with the Reis Effendi ; but the interview was short, and without result: the Turkish Minister excused himself on the ground of not having the necessary instructions to give a defini tive answer, and repeated the vague assurances already so often given, as to the desire of the Porte to live in peace with all the Christian Powers. FEB. 15.—An Extraordinary courier from Vienna arrived at Pera, bringing also dispatches from the London Cabinet, to Lord Strangford. The two Ministers instantly solicited an other conference with the Reis Effendi, and Lord Strang ford addressed to the Chancellerie of the Grand Vizier a Note, in which he forcibly complained of the delays that his com mands had experienced : adding, that motives of the highest importance, at this moment, rendered another conference in. dispensable. On the same evening a Dragoman of the Porte came to announce to his Lordship that the conference was fixed for the next day. FEB. 16.—Lord Strangford went in grand state with M. Chapper, his principal Dragoman, to the residence of the Reis Effendi. The interview was most amicable, and the protesta tions of the Turkish Minister were about the same as those which had previously been made to the Count de Lutzow. The rumour was general throughout Pera, that the discussion would terminate favourably. FEB. 17.—Another courier from Vienna brought the Decla ration of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, in answer to the Note of the Reis Effendi of the 2d of December, and,orders to the Ministers to act in conformity with this Declaration. Russia persisted in demanding the pure and simple acceptation of her altiinatant, and that this acceptation should precede any further discussion ; a term was, however, granted to the Porte for its determination ; but a prompt and categorical reply was re quired. The two Ministers earnestly supported these demands, agreeably to their instructions, by repeated Noteg, expatiating on the personal disposition of the Empero r Alexander, and dwelling upon his concession in removing Prince Michael Suzzo from the frontiers of the Ottoman Empire, and expelling the Iletarists from Bessarabia, &c. FEB. 19.—A grand Divan was held, With the usual state, for the payment of the troops, and at the moment that the pay of the .Janissaries was reckoning, the cannon of the Seraglio an nounced the birth of a son to the Sultan, who received the name of Alalnnet. The Janissaries and their Agas evinced their joy in the most intemperate manner : the Asiatic troops went through the military evolutions, the exercise of the Djerid, and afterwards actively participated in the public re joicings. But few excesses were committed on this day of general exultation, and the Bostangi Baschi maintained order in the Faubourgs. The rejoicings were continued throughout the following day. FEB. 23.—The Sihilidar (the sword-bearer of Chourschid) arrived at Constantinople, escorted by Tartars, with the Harem, the treasures, the grandson of Ali (a child eight years of age), and lastly, the head of this old Chief, who had attained the age of 84. The head was carried in triumph to the Grand Vizier, and thence to the Seraglio. FEB. 24.—The head of Ali was fixed, in ceremony, over the portal of the Seraglio,. with a copy of the sentence which con demned to death this traitor to Islamism, this rebel to the Porte, this supporter to.the revolted Greeks, &c. It is impos sible to convey an idea of the fanatical enthusias n which ihis PRICE„SEVt :- - ~- sight excited in the soldiers and populace : cries were - heard on all sides that the Porte might now cicclare war agaiilst the Giaours (Christians) and that the Mussulmen were sure' of ex terminating them. (Christians), presents were distributed, by nttler of the Grand Seignior, and Chourschid PaCha was loaded with wealth and honours. FEB. 25.—The definitiCe answer of the Reis Effendi . to'the Notes of the two CoUrts had not yet been given ; but in Pera, the hope that it would promptly be given was the more confi dently entertained, inasmuch as it was known that the Diian assembled daily. FEB. 26,—A diplomatic meeting took place at Pere, and it was there communicated that Lord Strangford had obtained the promise of an audience with the Reis Effendi on the morrow.— The result is most impatiently looked to. w FEB. 27.—The promised conference took place just after the breaking up of the . Divan, at which the Reis Effendi Was pm sent.—The English Minister expressed his surprise, that after the lapse of so much time, and after so many repeated solicitaL dons, lie cquld not obtain the definitive answer of the Porte,— Sadir-Effendi frankly avowed to him, that even at that Mo ment he was.not yet authorised to give the reqUired answer ; but there was ground of hope that, he should very . soon haVa the requisite powers. Lord Strangford again insisted upon the pure and simple acceptation of the propositions of Russia, at the only means of maintaining peace; the Turkish Minister replied, that the Porte knew perfectly well its obliga tions, but that Russia was equally bound by ancient Treaties, and she had not hitherto observed them. Lord Strangford having asked whether, in cafe the Porte should not accept .all the con ditiens offered by Russia, it Would not be expedient to tend an Extraordinary Ambassador to the Emperor Alexander ? it was replied to this question that the Porte, not having broken the Eace, it would not send to ask its continuance, Finally, the English Minister desired to fix with the Reis Effendi a peremp tory term for the definitive answer of the Porte ; but Sadir tiv cidedly rejected all propositions on this pbint, as an intrusion upon the dignity of the Sultan. These explanations of the Ottoman :Minister of Foreign Af fairs were not of a nature tosatisfy the European Diplomatists ; all the reports of their Dragomans concurred in representin4 the fanatical enthusiasm of thepopulaee, of the Div an, and even of the Grand Seignior himself. It was, however, far from being conceived that a decision so prompt, and a rejection so abSolufe, would have followed. _ _ .- - FEB. 28.—The Divan assembled extraordinarily; the Prin cipal officers of the Janissaries and the Chiefs of the Ulemas were present, When it was unanimously declared that the de mands of Russia were rejected. This sitting of the Divan is too memorable and its consequences too Important, for us to de lay a moment to obtain information of all that hag transpired ; and we will send you further details by the next courier. MEETING OF SHIP-OWNERS. Yesterday, a very numerous and respectable Meeting of the Owners of Ships Trading fro - al the Port of London to the West Indies, was held at the City of London Tavern, for the pur , pose of considering the Distressed State of the Colonies ; and also for the purpose of receiving the Report of a Committee appointed to watch over the Interests of the Ship Owners in this Trade.—Mr. COLVILLE was unanimously called to the Chairi When the Minutes were read of a General Meeting held ors the 15th of March last, of the Owneri of Vessels trading from the Port of London to the West Indies. In which trade it was declared, shipping to the amount of 1,500,000 tons *as eM ployed, and that to Watch over the interests of this trade, it was necessary that a Society should be formed. A Com mittee was then appointed to fbrm a constitution, and to adopt some other measures. The Chairman now reported that this Committee met on the 27th instant, when they framed a set of Resolutions, Which they wished to submit to the General Meeting for its sanction. The Chairman then read the Resolutions framed by the Committee, which were to the effect—That the Ship Owners declared that their interests depended essentially on the prosperity of those Co lonies to which they traded : That the Meeting, from an in timate connection with these Colonies, knew them to be in a state of great distress : That this distress, carried to a cer tain point and prolonged, must necessarily . check the produc tion : That articles of lumber and protisions are of primary necessity to the Colonies, and that without a constant sup ply it was impossible that the plantations could go on : The Colonies have been supplied hitherto, partly from British North America, but indirectly from the United States, the trade with which was of such a nature as could excite no rea sonable jealousy on the part of the mother country, al though it was extremely beneficial to the Colonies which bartered much of their produce, particularly of rum. That circumstances had arisen from which it had been thou,* necessary to put an end to all direct commerce between the United States and the British West Indian Colonies. The last Resolution declared that if the Legislature should be in. duced to relax its laws, and permit intercourse between the West Indian Colonies, such a measure would, in their opinion, be extremely beneficial to the Colonies, and Would not deserve the opposition of the meeting, but would claim their warmest support ; and that one penny per ton should be collected an nually for the payment of the expenses of the Society. r. G. HIBBERT, in order to bring the matter regularly be fore the Meeting, and that they might have the benefit of any observations upon the same, would move the Resolutions, which he contended were well worthy of the adoption of a meet ing of Gentlemen carrying on the West India trade. The ope rations of distress were inevitably to depreciate - the price of pro duce, and the measure before Parliament was a large one which would go greatly to the relief of the distress so urgently But nothing would, or ought, the Speaker was understood to say, to be conceded without reciprocal concessions on the part of the United States. The Speaker went on to admit that some sacrifices must be made by the Shipping interests in forwarding the measure of opening the intercourse, but the sacrifice was so small that the Ship-owners seeing the Colo nies suffering as they now did, ought, for the sake of them, to overlook it. He contended, at considerable length, and with much acuteness, that unless the . proposed measure was adopted, the produce of the Colonies must continue to be depreciated by the restriction which was new acting with that effect. It had been • argued that the measure would be an extremely hard one for the Northern Colonies, but that was a matter, lie contended, entirely foreign to the question, for either one or the other must give way. But the duties imposed upon the United States' produce would most probably be such as would make it an even balance whether the planters bought from them or from the Northern Colonies. There were some articles which the Northern Colonies could riot supply. The Speaker concluded by declaring it to be his opi nion, that the %% est India Ship-Owners would be acting' with a liberality worthy of them, and at the same time forward ing their best interests, when they supported the measures al luded to. The Speaker then moved the Resolutions framed by the Committee. They were all carried unanimously, without any particular observation. . The Mover observed with respect to the resolution for the col lection of one penny per ton annually, for the payment of die expences of the Society, that should it amount to more than was requisite, as there was no doubt but it would, there would be no collection made on the following year. A Ship-Owner submitted that the body which had now formed itself into a Society had other opponents to contend against, and one of the first points to which they ought to direct their efforts would be the reduction of Dock charges. He sug gested that the Meeting should join the other bodies of Ship owners to effect a reduction. Mr. MITCHELL, Mr. HIREERT, and Mr. GUTHRIE, co incided in saying that the Society would join with all the other Ship-owners in using their efforts to reduce the Dock charges. It was strongly denied that the Society had any particular or exclusive views. They were ready and desirous to co-operate with all in objects of mutual interest. They would, in short, always consider themselves as ship-owners. It was then resolved, that the Committee should concur with the General Meeting, as well as with the Committee of Ship owners of the port of London, in effecting a reduction of dock charges. Ntr. COLVILLE was appointed the Chairman % and Mr. Jos. MAnitiOTT the Treasurer, of the Society. It was stated that the Members of this' Society would not discontinue their Subscriptions to the other Societies of Ship'. Owners. After some further observations the Meeting adjourned. loudy Do. Do.
