FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, MAY 26.—The Augsburgh Gazette slates, that the Pacha of St. Jean d'Acre had de clared himself independent. An extraordinary Courier from Vienna arrived at eight o'clock last night, and brought, to one of the Ambassadorm of the Great Powers, the im portant intelligence that the differences between 'Nussia and the Porte are definitively adjusted.— (43neette de France.) DRFS AU, MAY 16.—The Aid-de-Camp of Ge neral Normann writes, dated from Navarino, the 20th March, as follows There is hitherto but little order in the country, and property especially is but little respected. The Ephores, however, appointed in the different districts, dis play much firmness, and the Gerusia of the Pelts popnesus, established at Tripolizza, distinguishes itself particularly by its energetic measures. A fuer country than that is not to be seen ; the air is perfectly pure and serene, particularly on the coast; .it but rarely rains, and only for a few hours . . All the advantages of Switzerland and Italy are found united here." Moscow, IVIA - s - -4.—Letters from Kischenow state, that great magazines are preparing in Bes sarabia. The evacuation of Moldavia and Wal lachia by the Turks is no longer thought of. ',:'he heavy artillery of the Janissaries has been brought thither, and the number of troops aug ments every day. VIENNA, MAY 15.--( Extract of a Private Let ter.) -=" we were not deceived in stating, in a previous letter, that the system of the Ottoman Porte was to temporise, and gain time by the nego ciatioris commenced a year since and resumed at intervals, in order to obtain the means of making use of all its resources, for the purpose of sub jecting the Greeks and terminating the war in Asia. This able tactic of the Divan, suppos ag it even to be founded on the false basis that the repression of what it calls the Greek Insur rection is very easy, as soon as the Porte can bring into action all its disposable force, has. hitherto partly succeeded, and may have still snore success, if, through consideration for other Cabinets, the Court of PetersbUrgh continues to remain inactive. The Porte wishes it, and it has made a step in advance to obtain this result.— Acting upon this system of tergiversation•and de iay, it has at length replied to - the new represen tations made to it• by the two Envoys, to whom the task of the negociation is confided. Protest iog its earnest desire to maintain peace with all Powers in general, and especially with Russia, the Reis Effendi explains the motives of the de tei=esination of the Grand Divan of the 28th February, and endeavours to prove that the Forte has completely satisfied all that there existed any right to exact from it. He endea vours particularly to justify the determination adopted respecting Walachia and Moldavia, of -sthich he again promises the entire evacua tion by the Ottoman troops as soon as the Greek Insurrection shall be put down. It is saMcient to say that the Porte has also its U/ti .snatuses, and that it persists in it, as Russia de .ciares she will persist in her's. There is there fore at the present moment a Russian Ultimatum and a Turkish Ultimatum. Our Cabinet will ,donbtless comn:unicate this new overture of the Furte to the Court of Russia, and will not fail to .propose to make new remonstrances to the Grand Seignior, to induce him to modify his Ultimatum. The communication about to be made to the Russian Cabinet cannot arrive at Petersburgh before the 26th instant. The answer will be Lere about the 10th June. The new instruc tions given to M. de Lutzow cannot reach him tili about the 25th of June ; he will then pre sent a new Note about the end of that month.— The Porte, according to its custom, will reply a Month afterwards. The summer will pass in transmissions and communications, and . the Porte will again gain a summer, and thus postpone ul terior measures till the spring of 1823, during which internal means may be found of arranging every thing." S P A I N. ?el - Aaiun, MAY 19.—Troops arrive from all quarters in Catalonia. There have been some engagements of little importance, but of good augttry with the factious. The Government dis plays in this respect the greatest activity, and .reisrarkable energy. The guilty projects of our eneinies will have no serious results ; they will, oa the contrary, be advantageous to the. popular cause, as they will assist in giving a mortal blow to that spirit of apathy which it was endeavour ing to spread. The accounts from Barcelona con tain interesting details respecting the patriotic enthusiasm which our troops and the inhabitants .of that city unceasingly display. The Cortes continue to receive addresses from the volunteer militia of different provinces, who request to be allowed to proceed at their owu expellee to Ca talonia. In the sitting of the 16th, the Cortes unani mously approveCl of the proposition made by the I.)puty. Galliani, for testifying to the army the satisfaction of the National Congress re spe.cling, the offer made for a - reduction of pay with reference to th 6 present situation ;of the Trear.ury. The Cortes, reserving to themselves .the right to adopt a Resolution respecting this generous offer, hasten to declare to the nation, that they' see in it a ice pledge of those civic virtues of which the . *Vole army have not hesi-- ,tated to•give Splendid Proofs wherever they have .acted in support of the liberty, the glory, and the independence of the .Spanish people. Tin the sitting of the 17th the Cortes decreed, notwithstanding the opposition of the Minister of leSr ar and of the Deputy Augustin Arguelles, a projet of six. articles, disbanding the Brigade of itoyaiCarbineers from the Ist of July, and in corporating them With the other ret;ments of ca valry. The conduct of this corps v.ili 'be recol lected when under the orders orGeneml Frevre, during the events of the isle of Iseon. The ;spirit . which appears to actuate this privileged (b rig de gives disquietude to the Constitutionalists. The Special Committee appointed at the same Siftic g, . to propose decisive legislative measures fordstro.ying aud,preventing insurrections, pre- sented its Report .yesterday, with a Project of Law, of 11 Articles, which bears much analogy to the French law of the 10th Vendernial•e, year 4: - The discussion was fixed for TUesday the `2l st. [Gazetfc Extraordinary of Mad; id, May 19.1 - • OFFICIAL ARTICLE. The following news have arrived from Cata- lonia : POLITICAL GOVERNMENT or THE PRO7INCE . OP BAR- CELONA. " The Co mrnandant-General of this seventh':Ailitary Dis trict writes to me under the date of yesterday from. Tarragona as follows : • " The Marechal de Camp Don Miguel de liar°, Military Commandant of this Province, writes to me from the city of Valis as follows : " On the day before yesterday we twice beat the band of in surgents, eornmandea by Friar Trapense, as I communicated to your Excellency, from Espluga, under the date• of yester day. In my despatch I spoke of conflicts gained for the cause of liberty ; .and 1 now send your Excellency the most flattering . intelligence. The party of the friar, twice beaten, was dispers ed like smoke. All his followers deserted him, and this morn ing he was surrounded only by about seventy men, all.crimi . was, or the dregs of Catalonia. The people whom he had se duced have returned to their homes. The offer of pardon which I proclaimed, after. convincing the insurgents of the impotence of their arms, contributed much to this result; for although it had been published before the commotion, it had then no ef fect. This morning I commanded a reconnoissance to be made as far as the monastery of Pablet, and my intentions have been executed in the best order, in spite of the inconvenience which . the column met - with from the conduct of the monks. 'On the !arrival of the troops, a party of the factious tired some shots, but soon fled, as usual. " At nine o'clock in the morning, I marched towards that city, without having encountered on the road more than twelve insurgents, who presented themselves at the declivity of .the -Coll de Lilla, four of whom were killed, and the rest fled. " It is impossible adequately to commend to your Excellency the good spirit which aniniates the troops, and the national militia of this division, which is the surest guarantee of the. prompt and desirable issue of the just cause wnich we defend. At this moment (eight o'clock, p.m.) has arrived the' column which your Excellency has been pleased to send me from Bar celona, the troops of Which, united with those whiph are here, and with th'e feW which come from Arragon, I consider sufficient to tranquillize the province. This :column found the enemy at the Coll de Santa Christina, and compelled him to retreat. " This I communicate to ybd - for . your information and satis faction, not being abli to confirm it by the dispatch which the above-named General says he.addressed to me froin Espluga, as it has not yet reached me. " The commandant, Don Ramon Gale, sends me from Ca pellades, under the date of yesterday, the following intelli gence :—That on the evening of the preceding day he arrived at that city, which was surrounded with COO insurgents; that after giving notice to Captain Don Mariano Aguire, who was within the town at the head of a column of 100 men of the regi ment/of Murcia, he attacked the enemy on five points, with 150 men of the regiment of Murcia, and with the volunteer militia of Manresa and Sellent, at the same time that Aguire put them to the bayonet; that the insurgents were completely beaten in spite of the advantageous positions which they held, being pursued to St. Bartholorne de Vallbona; that yesterday morning he returned to Capellades, where lie left a party of ob servation, and proceeded to place himself in the Glass-house, to. observe other points ; that the Insurgents had 18 killed, and a great number wounded ; that only live were wounded in the column subject to his command, including the Ensign Don Manuel Iraola of Murcia. He adds that the crew of banditti had burnt five houses of Capellades. I hasten to communicate this intelligence for the satisfaction of the public. (Signed) " VINCENTE SANCHO. c Barcelona, May 14, 1322." The head of the Insurgents, Mogen Anton Coll, seeing his party dissolved, has petitioned for pardon by a representation addressed to the Cortes, and transmitted by the political chief of Barcelona. The private correspondence from Barcelona, which should have arrived in the capital this morning, has been intercepted in Cervera, the only point in which the conductor to the in surgents found those who resolved to burn the said corre spondence. On the 16ch, in the evening, the battalion of Ferdinand VII. entered the garrison of Lerida. CORTES.-SITTING OF MAY 13. THE LOAN. The first Financial Committee presented its report on the terms of the loan concluded on the 22d of November last, by Don Angel Vallejo, pro ternpare Secretary of Dispatch for the Department of Finance. There were besides three particular opinions, viz. one by Senores Ferrer and Ovalle, areother by Senor Isturia; and ano ther by Senor Surra. It was proposed that the report of the majority should be printed, with the particular opinions and other documents. The Secretary of Dispatch for the Finance Department said, —At the moment that the question of printing is agitated, I have to F: ite that the Government does not object to the docu ments being printed, in order that the Cortes, the nation, and all Europe, may. be informed on a subject of so much consequence. But such is the situation of the Government, that I believe it will be impossible its obligations can be duly attended to if this paper, is to he printed before the question which it involves shall be decided. Thus the Government and the nation itself will be much exposed if the matter be not quickly discussed and determined on., I therefore beg that the Cortes will proceed immediately to the examination of the report, without preju dice to the subsequent printing. In consequence of this mat ter having been referred to the Committee, and of certain no tions vhich have got abroad, the lenders have suspended the monthly delivery of 12 millions which are necessary to meet the contracts for the capital, which amount to 15 millions per month ; nine millions being allotted to the payment of. the gar rison, and the rest for the other supplies, which are paid cur rently. Bu: should there be a failure of one month, the Go vernment could not cover this expence. The reason is, that the receipts of the Treasury are reduced to this portion of the loan, and to the produce of the Post-office and the Lotteries, from which must be deducted the consignment for the Royal house hold. It follows, that if the 12 millions are not delivered, a de ficit to that amount will be experienced. The provinces not only send nothing to the General Treasury, but many of them re quire remittances from it, and neither the Government nor any . human power could draw any financial supply from them. Under these circumstances, the Government has availed itself of' the only means in its power; but the measure to which it has resorted will be of no effect if the present business be retarded. The Government has had recourse to the circulating of bills of ex change payable at :10, 6e, 90, and 120 days' sight, in order not only to cover the service of the capital, but also to afford aid to some of the provinces. This resource is obviously temporary. If the first bills are not paid when due,_ there is an end to any such means of supporting credit . I therefore entreat that,the Cortes will immediately enter on the consideration of the re port, without waiting for the printing. Senor Farrer (Don Joaquin) expressed his surprise at such a proposition on the part of the Government. It was impossible that any deputy could have sufficient information on the nature of the loan, until the report was printed. For his part, he would not give his vote until he bad the opportunity of delibe rately examining it. The report might be printed in four days. He would engage to get it done in three. Were they, then, to keep the public any longer ignorant of the nature of this tran saction, which had its origin it: inquisitorial darkness? He ri diculed the idea of the country suffering from the embarrass ment to which the Secretary pretendel the Treasury was ex posed, and urged the Cortes to proceed in this important busi ness with due deliberation. Senor Canga was desirous that the report shoultil be printed, if it could be done in reasonable time; but there were tables of account attached to it which would occupy many days. - He admitted that the GOvernment must be embarrassed. The Cortes had voted a certain sum, including the 200 millions of the loan, for the expences of the - state. If then the monthly payment of' the stipulated instalments were suspended, it fol owed that the Government must be placed in a situation of dif ficulty. He was therefore of opinion, that the printing of the text of the report should be immediately begun, and that the documents appended to it should lie on the table, in order that the deputies might have the opportunity of referring to them. The Secretary of Dispatch, in reply to Senor Farrer, stated that the Government had no wish to precipitate the discussion, but was anxious that the subject should be decided as speedily as possible, because the actual position of the Government was the most critical of any in which it had been placed since the re-establishment of. the constitutional system:. If the report could be printed in three days, as Senor Farrer asserted, he should be very glad ; but if a delay of a fortnight or three weeks were to take place, the Government would be left with out the means of supplying the deficiency which must arise. After some further discussion, it was agreed that the Com mittee should present another copy of the report to lie en the table, while the copy now before the Cortes was printing ; but the conversation ended without any day being fixed for the con sideration of the report. CATALONTAN INStIiZGENTS• The Special Committee, chargcri to propose such legisiltive measures as the state of Ca:alonia may require, afterliesring the Secretaries of Despatch, - srd documents and statements communicated by thern.find as the result of the in vestigation, that the enemies of the constitutional system, (among whom are included some of the secular and regular clergy), taking advantage of the distress of the said province, occasioned by the continued thy weather and other circunh. , stances, have seduced men, who from their ignorance or fana ticism, or perhaps, from criminal intentions, have taken up arms against their country'. Among them ale Monks and other persons, who, consistently with their character, ought to exhort to peace, but who have on the contrary taken advantage of it to preach sedition, pretencnnes to the authority of divine inspira tion and revelations. It has been attempted on different point. to rouse the population to arms. Hence has arisen the perse cution of some distinguished patriots, whose property has been destroyed, and who. - have been obliged to Faye their lives by flight. The committee is therefore of opinion, that the said machinations present a chanseter which calls for general and energetic measures in order to terminate at once such enormous evils, and crush. the offenders. For which reason, though the metteuees adopted by the Government might . prove effica cious, they think it necessary to propose others of a legislative nature, calculated to Obtain the desired object. Setting o ut, then, rom the principle that all hope of impunity ought to be withdrawn from those who attack - ihe laws and are caught in the act, and convinced of the obstacles which would be opposed to the prompt punishment of the delinquents, if a process were instituted on account of each individual, the Committee pro poses the following measures : " Art. 1. In any past of the monarchy in which factious bands exist, or shall hereafter exist, the provisions contained in the subsequent articles shall be published in the chief place of the district. • " 2. - All factions persons, whatever may be their rank or condition, who, assembled. or,armed, conspire directly cr by overt acts to destroy or etteck the constitution,. and who shall not, within 43 hours from the publication of this decree in the chief place of their district, surrender to the Military Chief or other lawful authority, shad be held to be traitors anti rebels, and, on being taken, shall undergo immediate Military exe cution. . " 3. Those who surrender within the 43 hours mentioned in the preceding Article, shall be detained in prison, tried accord ing to the-law of the e l7th -of. April,• 1821, and sentenced fer two years to public works. "4. Those conspirators* who have - not belonged to factious bands, or who have not presented themselves to the authorities within the term above prescribed, shall be comprehended under the class to be tried according to thelaw of April 17 ; or if they have been aiding or assisting the rebels,. they shall also suffer death. . " 5. Any town which takes an active part in a sedition, or , *protects the factious, shall be considered in a state of siege, and subject to the litivs of war. "6. The convents of Poblet and Escornablon, which have formed the principal focus of the Catalonian rebellions, are suppressed. The Government' is authorised to adopt he same measure with respect to either religious houses which man afford assistance to the rebels. " 7. The Judges in first instance shall immediately institute proceedings to ascertain the causes of the insurrection, and shall inquire how far the Clergy have complied with the decrees of the Cortes relative to the observance of the Constitution and the Constitutional Laws. " 8. The Government is authorized to make any foreigner, whose conduct may afford ground of suspicion, to leave the kingdom. "9. Arelibishops; Ilishepe, tfec. shall not give licenses to the inmates of Convents to leave their cloisters for a longer pe riod than 48 howl. The constitutional alcaldes shall see that this provision is executed. " IQ. Such of the national militia as assist in the suppression of the factious bands, shill have the same gratuities as were given by the Cort7l to thosevihoperformed a similar service in Salvatierra. " 11. The regulations contained in the preceding articles shall be strictly observed until the installation of the tortes for the year 1823. Several Deputies called for the immediate discussion of the Report. Others contended that there was no reason for de parting from the usual course of proceeding in the enactment of laws. The Secretary of State for Finance observed, that the Go vernment had neglected no measure which it was authorized to take; The law of the I7th April had been ordered to be exe cuted. Troops had been marched from all quarters on Cats -lonia. He farther stated, that the province of Catalonia, being one in which the greatest confidence was placed, it had been left without any military corps whatever, and that this con& dence had afforded an opportunity for the enemies of the Con stitutional System to seduce the simple peasantry. The consideration of the Report was fixed for the 21st. DUKE AND• DUCHESS OF CLARENCE CANTERBURY, MAY 2B.—At a Common Assembly of the Mayor, Jurats, and 13:n.ons•of Sandwich, held in the Town hall on Saturday last, the Commotill r eal was unanimously given to the following Addresses, proposed by the Rev. W. WODS- WORTH, and seconded by JosEPn STEWART, Esq. TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF caautNor, &C, May it please your Royal Highness, We, the Mayor, Jurats, and Commonalty. Barons of His Majesty's most ancient Town, and Port of Sandwich, crave leave to approach the Royal Brother of our August, and most gracious Liege, with this dutiful Address, in testimony of our loyalty to the reigning Monarch, and of our attachment to every branch of the Imperial Dynasty. • - In congratulating ourselves on your Royal Highness's pre sence within the Liberties of our Municipal Jurisdiction, we claim, in profound respect, to over oor condolence on the cause of it ; and with it, our hope that the event may, by the good ness of Providence, happily respond' to your own conjugal soli citude, in the return of your amiable Duchess's re-established health. And we pray that the same blessing may long be pre served in ample measure to your own Royal person, as to one of the firm pillars of that Security and Liberty which this Nation has invariably enjoyed, in the pure administration of the Laws, under the auspices of the Brunswick line of our Kings. As Barons of one of those ancient Cinque Ports, which, in former days, occupied the van of naval arms, and formed the bnlwark of this isle, we feel (we trust a not unbecoming) pride in cherishing, with the remembrance of our ancestors' glory, a continuanceof the same British feelings which animated their breasts, and constituted these ancient Cinque Ports the nursing mothers of that modern renown which your Royal Highness, as Admiral of the British fleet, has helped the n Ktion to earn, and whose laurels we hope may flourish, in pristine vigour, on your Royal brows. TO HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUCHESS OF CLARENCE. May it please your Royal Highness, • We, the Mayor, Jurats, and Commonalty, Barons of his Ma jesty's most ancient town and port of Sandwich, as dutiful subjects ofyour Royal Husband's august Brother, our m ost gracious Sove reign, crave leave to approach your R.H. in unfeigned condolence, with this expression of our anxious wishes for your restoration to a full measure of health a destitute of which blessing, neither the I exalted station to which it has pleased. Providence to call your Royal Highness, nor even the conjugal, regards of your Royal Husband, can tifford that tranquil enjoyment of domestic fe licity, and unalloyed happiness, which (in common with all his Majesty's dutiful subjects) we, who now have the honour to ad dress his Royal Sister, most:cordially wish may, through life, at tend'your Royal Highness: Unused tooffer the incenseof flattery, and conscious thatayour chaste ear would be deaf to its voice, we trust that one of the most amiable of her sex will condescend to accept this hearty tribute of profound esteem from free Britons; whose ailicere hopels, that the untainted. air of our sea -girt shores may. Contribute td your Royal Highness's speedy recovery.. • „ . . . Their Royal Highnesses signified. it their pleasure to receive the Mayor and Corporation, with the Addresses, at Walmer Castle, on Monday. . . • • Thu Corporation proceeded to Waimea Castle yesterday, to present the Addresses, to which the folloWing Answers were re turned : • •• ' GE arr at atE ar—l receive. with great satisfaction this Ad dress, so full of loyal and dutiful attachment to the Sovereign of these realms, and of personal regard for the family of his Majesty. I also feel sensibly the expressions of interest directed to my self, and am grateful for the kind wishes in the Address, for the future health and welfare of the Duchess. In the naval concerns of the empire, I must ever be most peculiarly interested, and cannot forget the great services ren dered formerly by the Cinque Ports to the rising maritime greatness of this country. I must therefore be anxious for the prosperity of the town and port of Sandwich. GENTLE mtia—l fed with sincere gratitude the expressions of regard towards myself, as well as the kind interest about my health, contained in this Address, and assure you that I ever shall form the most anxious Wishes for the welfare of the town of Sandwich. • Notwithstanding Btsrr sold in Shares both the Two last Prizes of Twenty Thousand Pounds ever drawn, yet we understand be feels a pre sentiment he shall sell one or both the Twenty Thousands, which must be drawn NErr pay, when•the entire Lottery will be decided, as it is all in One Day. • PITT'S BIRTH DAY. Yesterday being the Anniversary of the Birth of Mr. PITT, the commemoration festival was held at the City of London Tavern. Mr. CAR nior T, the Member for Northampton, presided. He entered the great room, in which the party had assembled, at about half-past six. On taking the Chair he was supported on the right by the Lord Chane,llor, and on the left by the Duke ut Wellington. Among the co:npany we noticed the following Noblemen 1. , .-lel Gentlemen : Lord Viscount '4;:drnouth, Right Hon. N. Vansittart, M.P. Earl of Gls.sgow, Earl of Harewood, Lord Hotham, M.P. Sir Miles Nightingall, C. B. M.P. Vice-Admiral Sir E. Harvey, K. C. B. M.P. Sir Robert Vaughan, Bart. M.P. Sir Thomas' Dyke, Bart. Sir Robert Wigram, Bart. Sir Charles Flower, Bart. Sir John Gibbons, Bart. Right lion. Sir Henry Russell, E. B. Wilbraham, Esq. M.P. Henry Bankes, Esq. M.P. The cloth being removed, Non Notts Domino was sung : and " The King • and may he live long to enjoy the fruits of the Peace which lie has been the means of giving to Europe," was drank with four times four. God Save the King was then sung ; and " The Duke of York and the Royal family" having been toasted with three times three— The CHAIRMAL.Z rose to give " the immortal memory of the late Right Hon. Wm. Pitt." This toast, he remarked, had already been proposed so often through many successive years, that for him to enlarge on it' was as unnecessary as it would be presumptuous. He acknowledged himself to be one of those who were convinced that the principles of the Right Hon. Wm. Pitt had proved the salvation of his country. Unaided by his abilities we hexer could have stemmed the torrent which threatened to overwhelm the country thirty years ago, nor could we.have triumphed over the numerous. difficulties by which we were at that time enveloped. Mr. Pitt had saved his country by his talents while he lived, and by his principles when he was no more. He was aware that attempts , were constantly making to depreciate the merit of Mr. Pitt,. and to represent every calamity to be the necessary result of tne prin ciples on which he had acted. But he would ask what would have been the result, had an opposite line of policy been pre ferred? lie was satisfied = as he was convinced every man must be, who looked fair.y on the history of the past, that much as we had still to contend with, we had much to exult for. It was notorious that Mr. Pitt had never wished to enter into the late war, and had only reluctantly done so, on the sound principles of necessity and self-preservation. But being in it, he had thought it wisdom to persevere with firmness and courage. The result was glorious, but the - danger being passed, and tne difficulties overeorne, our former perilous situation was but too freqhehtly forgotten, and but imperfect justice was done to the merits of Mr. Pitt. He believed that the fame of that Statesman would rise much higher hereafter. If ever there was a man who had the interest of his country at heart, it was Mr. Pitt; and if ever there was a man who fell in the cause of his country, it was Mr. Pitt.—(Applause.)—Feeling as they did, whom he had then the honour to address, he was confident that they would feel it to be their duty to unite with him to keep alive the memory of that Great Man, and he had therefore the fullest conviction that they would drink the toast which lie had proposed— " The immortal memory of William Pitt." The toast was drunk with three times three. The Army rind Navy of Great Britain," was given with three times three. Rale Britannia was then sung. To this succeeded the Glee of The King and the Church, which, as usual, was repeatedly interrupted by the plaudits of the company. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the health of his Ma jesty's Ministers. In giving this toast lie had only to refer the company to the history of the, period during which they had ad ministered the affairs of the country. A more arduous and a more brilliant period was not to be found in our annals. They had led us through a most tempestuous. war to a glorious peace. It was true that we had not as yet recovered from the exer tions demanded during the protracted contest; but if we con- tinued to confide in them in whom we had so long reposed our • confidence—if we were, in fact, true to ourselves, and were not misled by factious declamations or idle theories, he was sanguine enough to hope that at no distant period we should recover, and gain the reward of all the sacrifices we had made in the cause of the best and happiest Government which had ever been devised, and under which, he believed, more security, comfort, and liberty, were to be enjoyed than had ever fallen to the lot of any other country. " the health of his Majesty's Ministers" having been drank with three times three, The LORD CHANCELLOR returned thanks as well on behalf of those of his Majesty's Ministers who were present, as on that ' of those who were absent, and who had desired him to express their regret for their being absent on this oceasion. He was sure that he spoke the sentiments of their hearts, when he said that if they deserved the honour they had received, it was because they had acted on, the sentiments of that great man whose birth was the subject of that day's commemoration.--(Applauseh—He reminded them of the difficulties in which the country had been plunged in the course of the late war, and of the manner in which it had been vanquished by the unconquer able spirit of Mr. Pitt. When it was asked what they had gained by the principles of Mr. Pitt, his answer was—they had gained all that they had saved. Old as he was, he rejoiced that in consequence of the measures recommended by Mr. Pitt, it was his to yield obedience to a gracious British Sove reign, who respected the Jawed' God and the law of the country. Had a different course been pursued, we might now have been under the yoke of a foreign tyrant. Britains under the yoke of a foreign tyrant ! whose only God was ambition—whose only law despotic power!! It was impossible for any one to be so blind as not to see that the distress which we now experienced was the necessary consequence of the exertions which we had made ; but those principles which had saved us from the ex ternal dangers which once menaced us, would eventually triumph over the difficulties with which we had still to contend. In conclusion, he remarked, that the religion of the country was safe, and he firmly believed that it would remain so; but he begged to caution those who loved the Constitution, not to suffer themselves to be misled by individuals, who professing anxiety to improve the Constitution, had no object in view but its destruction. The CHAIRMAN next gave, after an appropriate eulogy, the health of the Duke of Wellington. The Duke of WELLINGTON briefly returned thanks for the honour he had received ; and expressed his admiration of the character and attachment to the principles of Mr. Pitt. The CHAIRMAN next gave the health of a Nobleman much attached to the principles of Mr. Pitt, who had been found by the side of that great man during the most difficult part of his career, he meant the President of the Club, the Earl of Hare wood. The toast having been drunk with three times three The Earl of HAREwoon, in returning thanks said , though that Club was run down as a party club, he should ever consi- , der himself highly honoured by being considered its Presi dent. Much of w'nat he might have said had been anticipated by their Hon. and Worthy Chairman, and by the Lord Chan- celior. But he would contend that to judge of the merits of Mr. Pitt, they ought to go back to the time in which he lived, and then to go forward to trace the effects of his system • on those who were to follow the present generation, to under stand how much they owed to that Great Man. It waa true the danger of the war was now at an end, but other danzers, perhaps still more formidable than those which presented tEema selves with an enemy in front, remained . to be met. He al luded to the insidious, undermining, liberal attacks (as they were called) upon every part of our institutions. Ile espe cially set forth the importance of making an exertion to put down these; and without such exertions, he would say it there, and he would say it before the whole world, the country was not safe.—(Applause.) Lord Viscount SIDMOUTH proposed " the health of the Chairman, with three times three." • The toast was drank with loud acclamations. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, again expressed his admiration of the principles of Mr. Pitt ; and held the honour he had just received to be peculiarly enhanced, coming as it did from the friends and admirers of Mr. Pitt. " The Protestant Ascendancy" was drank with three times three. The LORD CHANCELLOR begged to be allowed to give his favourite toast—" Prosperity and perpetuity to the Pitt Club." The toast was received with shouts cf approbation ; after which the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, and the other Members of the Government, retired. " The immortal memory of King George the Third," was drank in silence. Mr. ACHESON begged to give a toast. He called upon the meeting to drink the health of an individual who was most firmly attached to the principles of Mr. Pitt, and who had con stantly attended the meetings of the Club, when his residence in town would permit. He had battled in the cause in his own country, and had never flinched, never shirked the prin ciples which he had once avowed. He begged to give, in his individual capacity, their worthy Chairman, "Mr. Cartwright," the Member for Northampton. This toast was drank witlltnree, times three. The CHAIRMAN was so little prepared for the insidious attack just made on him, that he was unprepared to reply.— (A laugh.)—He begged to thank them, and to propose the health of the Founder of the Society, " Mr. Atcheson.' The health of Mr. Atcheson was drank with three times three. Mr. .A.TCHESON had not anticipated the return which would be made by the Chairman. He declared himself largely repaid fur any exeriiens which he had made town,rds c-,74-.nizatic 4 of the Pitt Club,by the notice which it had ~acne, ' . him farm fir' sons of the best consideration., and beFt principles in the coun try.

HIGH WATER AT LONDO Morning, 36 minutes after 9. J IN BRIDGE TO-MORROW' I Evening, _o' minutes -aftez THE SUN SOLLM QUIS DICEIZE FALSUM AUDF,AT LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 189.2. The intelligence brought by the Paris Papers of Sunday, received this morning, is not of so pacific a nature as that communicated to our Readers yesterday. The REIS EFFENDI has at length transmitted (on the 26th of April) Ito Qlficial Note, in reply to the Notes presented to. him by Lord STRANGFORD and the Austrian In' ternuncio, since the receipt of the celebrated Turkish Note of the 28th of February. Tbi g answer is said to be conceived in more moderate terms than that of the 28th February : it contain' nothing offensive to Russia its tone is r ather peaceable, but in substance it does not alter the present state of the negociations, for the REIS EFFENDI again signifies his determi' nation to take for the basis of future arrange' ments the furious declaration of the Divan of th e 28th of February, and endeavours to shew tha t there is nothing hostile in that document, but, oil the contrary, that it is very pacific. In Support of these allegations, the Turkish Minister enters into minute details on the various points 0 1 th e declaration, and asserts, that the Porte does no t wish to go to war witL Russia, that she has done all in her power to avoid it, and, moreover, that she is disposed to restore the official and dip IQ' matic relations with that Power on the sol e footing as they stood before the departure of th e Baron de STROGONOFF from Constantinop le ' This language of the REIS EFFENDI is far fro l° deciding the question which is the subject the negociations carried on by the mediating' Powers at Constantinople. Their object i s f to obtain the unconditional acceptance ° the Russian Ultimatum, and to this end have all the efforts of Austria and England been di" ........_ _____ - rected. Hence it appears, contrary to the S C ' counts received yesterday, that on the 26th Ci April, no more than on the 28th of Febr.rarfr the GRAND SEIGNIOR was not disposed to rn°‘ e any fresh concessions. This state of thing; must, we think, draw forth a speedy decis i°°, on the part of Russia, for it is evidently tile . • interest of Turkey to protract the n e gociate orts i . with which design the present communication ° the REIS EFFENDI has been made, and n otbil we conceive can be more injurious to Russia t"if further delay. and the consequent necessitY :‘ keeping up her present enormous military f°l.cl We refer to an article from Vienna, a'' .l° , - , - 5 our extracts, iu further elucidation of the vie,l:e of Turkey in the present important crisis. c,,." . , Gazette de France says that all the differe n t i: between Russia and the Porte have been 3 t t, justed : but it is so completely at variance v",,, • every other account, that the report is not OD' tied to any credit. . the The intelligence from Spain comes down to r., 20th. Madrid is perfectly tranquil, and the,' io. surrections in the Northern Provinces ant', 0, Catalonia have been subdued.
