These preparations are not yet completed, and in all probability, if the death of ALI PACHA had not intoxicated the Sultan and his Ministers, the rejection of the Ultimatum would not have so soon been communicated to the Mediating Powers. We have reason to believe that the English and Austrian Ministers at Constantinople are indefa tigable in their efforts to induce the . Sultan to re consider the Ultimatum, and we know from good authority with little prospect of success. Indeed the single fact of the Turkish troops in Moldavia and Walachia having been strongly reinforced, clearly spews the determination of the SULTAN to persevere in his rejection of the Ultimatum, the principal condition of which is the evacuation of those two Principalities by the Turks. if local difficulties had not prevented the Rus sians from taking the field, the Note of the Reis- Effendi, which rejected the Ultimatum, would have been considered by the Russians as tanta mount to a declaration of war, and we should ere this have heard of the commencement of hostili ties. The extraordinary wetness of the last winter in every part of Europe will prolong those difficulties, and we should not be surprised if hostilities were necessarily delayed till next month ; for in the war of 1769, the army of Prince GALITZIN did not pass the Dniester to attack the lines of Choczim until the 26th of April,— the campaign of 1770 did not begin till May,— that of 1771 opened at the same time,—and it was only about the end of June 1773, that the Russians crossed the Danube to undertake the siege of Silistria. In 1774, ROMANZOW only passed the Danube on the 16th and 17th of June, and with this Campaign the war terminated, peace being signed on the 26th of July 1774. We therefore think that four or five weeks may yet elapse before war takes place, unless hostilities should begin by sea ; and in the mean time the public will be amused with negociations, for the Mediating Powers will continue to interpose their good offices to prevent a war, in our opinion, without success. We give extracts from French and Ger man Papers in a preceding column. There is only one point of view in which we contemplate the breaking out of a Turkish war with regret. While we shall rejoice at the cer tainty of the emancipation of Greece from the barbarous rule of the Porte, we cannot but be sensible that the attention of the English Government and Public will necessarily be diverted, by the interest and importance always attached to great warlike operations, from the consideration of those momentous ques tions of domestic policy which have of late formed the subjects of grave and anxious delibe ration in Parliament,—and that, too, at a mo ment when it was reasonable to entertain hopes of extensive improvements being effected in the condition of the people. The agricultural dis tress,—the state of Ireland,—the claims of the Catholics,—the demands of the Reformers, — the Criminal Laws,—the Poor La ws,— the CivilList,—the regulation of foreign trade, — the operation of taxes, &c. &c. are amongst the subjects which stand for discussion in the House of Commons, and from the consideration of which it is most desirable that the wisdom of the Legis lature should not be diverted. A file of Charleston Papers arrived this morn ing, but they are of old dates. TREASURY CHAMBERS, DEC. 5, 1821.

GENTLEMEN,-1 am commanded by the Lords Commis sioners of his Majesty's Treasury to transmit to you, for your information, a Copy of a Letter which their Lordshipshae di rected to be written to the Board of Eicise, on the subject of the practice which prevails of charging Duty on Glass Bottles, found in Dressing Cases and Medicine Chests of travellers ar riving from the Continent, although the Glass is of British Ma nufacu7e, and I am to desire you will instruct your Officers accordingly. S. R. LUSHINGTON. To the Commissioners of Customs. IRELAND.--It is two or three months since we first pointed out the scarcity of food for the sup port of the peasantry in the southern districts of this distracted country. A benevolent Corre spondent, under the signature of 'C An English man and a Freeman of Cork," immediately called the attention of the public to so distressing a state of things for our fellow-subjects in the Sis ter Island, and endeavoured to lead the way in a subscription for purchasing potatoes, in order to avert the horrors of famine with which the Irish poor were threatened. We are sorry to say that this humane and judicious proceeding miscarried, chiefly, we presume, from an impres sion existing upon the public mind that the distresses of the Irish peasantry were exagge rated. It is difficult ctherwise to account for the apathy with which the proposition to save a people from the greatest calamity with which they can be visited, was received by the English public, so justly eminent for its promptitude in obeying the dictates of benevolence, and its mu nificent liberality in appeasing the cry of dis tress. Succeeding accounts, however, have fully proved the accuracy of our early information. In Cork, the arrival of a single cargo of potatoes has been hailed with transports of joy. In Bantry, the Noble Earl who has rendered so much service to the state in repressing the insur rection, thought it necessary to hold a public meeting, in order to devise means for relieving the extreme wretchedness of the poor in that quarter. Notwithstanding this humane example, such is the distraction in which the Gentry are involved by the turbulence and ferocity of the people, and such, perhaps, are their own pecu niary embarrassments, from the difficulty of ob taining rents, &c., that similar measures have not been adopted in other places. It is, however, absolutely indispensable that something should be done, either by the Goveanment or by those classes of the people who have the means of alleviating the deplorable condition of the peasantry. The actual and prospective wretchedness of the miser able population ►s beyond description. A letter from the County of Clare states, that the failure of the potatoe crops has been even greater than was some time since thought; and not only potatoes, but oats, barley, and hay, have been rotted in such quantities, that a large proportion of the peasantry are reduced even already to the ex tremity of want. In the western parts of the county the cattle are dying by hundreds ; and the cry of distress is heard from one end of the country to the other. Limerick, Kerry, Cork, Galway, and Mayo, all participate in the evil, though not so severely, perhaps, as Clare.— Famine, and its certain consequences, pestilence, and an aggravation of the outrages, seem to be inevitable, unless speedy and effectual measures are adopted to prevent that extremity of misery and starvation which is about to take place.— The poor are literally without a sufficient sup ply of food ; and unless they are furnished with it, nothing, of course, can restrain them from acts of the greatest violence and desperation. YOUNG WATSON.-Ifaving yesterday inserted an extract of a letter from Baltimore, which stated that young WATSON had been convicted of various crimes at Nashville, and had been sen tenced to be hanged; we think it an act of justice and humanity to add that his father has written a long letter, expressing the strongest doubts of the truth of the relation, and stating a number of circumstances which certainly tend to discredit it in a very material degree.— Amongst them, he says that his son did not marry POYZEICS daughter, —that it is known that another man had taken his name and per sonated him for the purpose of extorting money, —that there is evidence that he has been en-. gaged respectably in business,—and that the laws of America do not punish with death the crimes of which his son is said to have been convicted. The poor man, however, seems to be truly shocked at the mere possibility that such a fate has befallen his son. While we state this in respect for feelings which do him honour, we cannot refrain from expressing our sorrow, that, after what passed during the memorable irruption from Spafields, the Doctor's perception of right and wrong should be so 'perverted, that he considers his son to have been remarkable for his high sense of honour,—his strict morality,— his sensibility,—and his warm and generous sym pathies for the distressed and forlorn of every class ! It would be painful to us as well as to the father to dwell upon these topics at this moment. On Friday, at two o'clock, his MAJESTY will hold a Levee at Carlton House. Yesterday the Duke of YORK held a Levee as Commander-in-Chief at his office in the Horse Guards, which was attended by upwards of fifty military officer's, &c. Among whOm were— General the Marquis Huntly, Major-General Bayley, Lieut.- General Church, Lieutenant-General Sir William Hutchinson, lajor-General Hill, Lieutenant-General. Sir John Stewart, Major-General Sir John C ameron , Li eut .-G enera l Strickland, Lord Bingham, General Finch, General Sir Henry Johnston, Lieut.-General Dyott, &c. Yesterday, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Princess AUGUSTA visited the Duchess of KENT and the Princess SOPHIA, at the King's Palace, Kensington. —On Monday and yesterday, the Princess AUGUSTA had select par ties to dinner. It appears from some documents which accom panied the American President's Message, g i ven i n our P aper of the 10th instant, that M. RinADAviA, the Chief Minister of Buenos Ayres, in reply to an overture from the United States, stated to Mr. FORBES, the American Diplomatic Agent, that it was the determination of his " Government to grant no exclusive privileges of commerce to any nation what ever ;" and added, " that his most decided opinion was, that no measure whatever ought to be taken to solicit an acknow ledgment of the independence of those provinces by any Go vernment—that such proceeding must operate, if unsuccessful, to the humiliation of the provinces ; and, if successful, to mis lead the people by persuading them that such recognition was at all sufficient to their political existence and happiness; that, in his opinion, the most efficacious system would be to establish order and wise institutions of Government throtighout the pro vinces, and to spew themselves worthy of the fiaternity of other nations, when it would be voluntarily offered ; that such voluntary recognition, in every point of view, would be much more beneficial than that protection which sh ou ld resu l t f rom a compromise of honour or interest." • On Sunday, the 14th inst. an O r di na ti on was held at Winchester, by the Lord Bishop of HE REFORD, when the following Gentlemen were or dained— PRIEST—The Rev.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. 111-1 E ACHILLES OF PHIDIAS, PURPOSED TO BE ERECTED BY THE LADIES OF ENGLAND' IN COMPLIMENT TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. This colossal bronze statue, to receive which preparations are now making in Hyde Park, is'east from a mould made! upon the sublime marble, generally attributed to the hand of Phidias, and which since the papacy of Sixtus V. adorned the Quirinial Hill, at Rome. The h orse w hi c h ac companies the orirrinal has been omitted, strong doubts being entertained whether it has not been an adjectment of a latter age ; for, although of considerable % merit, its forms are not in unison with the grandeur of construction and heroic cha racter of the man. The purpose for which this astoni s hing work was originally designed. has never been satisfactorily ascertained ; the most enlightened antiquaries of the present age imagine it to• have been erected in honour of Achilles, and Mr. Westmacott, adopting 'that opinion, has armed him with a parazonium (a short sword) and shield. Great care and labour have been bestowed in restoring the surface of the work, which in the original had suffered greatly from its exposed situation, and the success which has attended the execution of this extraordinary enterprise has happily achieved the preservation of the sublimest effort of human genius in art. The material employed in' this stupendous work has chiefly been supplied from the cannon taken in the vic tories of the illustrious Duke, in compliment to whom the statue is dedicated. It is the largest cast ever undertaken in this country, or, indeed, we believe, since the restoration of the art of casting in brass by Zenodius, now eighteen centuries since, the statue itself being 20 feet in height, and its weight nearly 36 tons. It Will require no inconsiderable share of inge nuity to convey this ponderous statue from the artists' foundry in Pimlico to its pedestal of granite in Hyde Park, where its erection is expected to take place in the course of five weekS. Last night the Duke and DuchesS of Gloucester honoured the Italian Opera with their presence. ' The Royal Dublin Society have come to a resolution to com memorate the King's visit to that Body, by erecting a full sized statue in marble of his Majesty, represented in his robes of the Order of St. Patrick, as he appeared at the Installation of that Order, to be placed within the precincts of the Royal Dublin Society. It is to be executed by Mr. Behnes, from the bust lately sculptured by Mr. Chantry, and a picture painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence. The Rev. GEORGE CROLY, in his Play of Catoline, one of the very best productions of the Tragic Muse in our days, and which we are sur prized that lie did not offer to the stage, has the following passage in favour of those who are en trusted with the Government of a Country. They are uttered by Cicero, when burthened with his public duties, and addressed to his Secretary : Sir! see here [To the Secretary. The cheerless image of a statesman's life ! To bear upon his brow the general care,— To make his daily food of anxious thoughts,— To rob the midnight of its wholesome sleep,— And all, but to be made the loftier mark For every shaft that envy, sullen hate, Or thwarted guilt, can lay upon the string,— And have his thanks for all,—ingratitude ! It was asked, in a Morning Paper of yesterday, where was Mr: C. KEMIILE, that he did not per form illacdifif on Monday at Covent-Garden Theatre ?—The reason is, that be has been per forming at Edinburgh with such success that his engagement was renewed. Another Morning Paper says of The Suspicious Husband, that it is " a production more credit able to the talents of its author as a Dramatist, than to his moral feelings as a Dignitary of the Church." This is a mistake—Dr. H oADLEY was the son of the Bishop, and was himself a Physician. The Comedy was not successful at first, and in consequence the followiLg distich was thrown into his carriage while it was waiting his attendance on a patient : " bear Doctor, if your Comic Muse don't please, " Turn to your Tragic, and write recipes." The Comedy was shewn to QulN before it was represented, and he disliked what he Ayled the pantomime tricks of Ranger's mounting the ladder, and dropping his hat in Mrs. Strickland's chamber; he said the Comedy ought to be named " The Bat and the Ladder." Miss DANCE continues to be very attractive in Bath, where, ontaccount of her private character, connexions, and accomplishments, she is received with attention and respect among the best families in that city. Since her performance of Juliet and Mrs. Huller, which were deemed very pathetic and affecting, she has exhibited her comic powers with great effect in Lady Teazle. POETRY. 131 PROIUPTU.

STANHOPE was elected without opposition M.P. for Dart mouth. The gallant officer was proposed by Mr. N. BROOKING, and seconded by Mr. H OLDS wortnr. On being declared duly elected by the Mayor, Governor Hor.nswon.Tir, lie returned thanks in a neat speech, in the course of which he said he had been brought UD in the principles of Air. PITT, and should ground his Parlia mentary conduct upon them. After the election about seventy gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner at the Castle Inn. On Tuesday the newly elected Member gave a ball and supper.— ( Exeter Gazette.) Butrr, APRIL 17.—We find that his Grace the Duke of GRAFTON, Lord Lieutenant of the County, has requested a meeting of the Magistracy, to be held at Stowmarket, on Saturday next, for the professed purpose of taking into consideration and of adopting such measures as may then be thought necessary, to discover and bring to punishment the authors and abettors of the dis graceful outrages, so frequently, of late, com mitted in many districts around us ; the specific plan to be proposed, we are not sufficiently in formed of, to state ; but, from the known ta lents of many of the Magistrates, and the uni form zeal manifested by all the Gentlemen in the Commission of the Peace, there ca❑ be little doubt but that a prompt and efficacious system of action be the result of their delibera tions it is not, however, improbable, if we may hazard a conjecture, that a general Com mittee of Magistrates will be formed from every division of the county ; and a select correspond ing committee, from them, to receive all informa tion of suspicious and suspected persons, to be, by the members of such corresponding committee, communicated to the Magistrates around them, in order that a vigilant look-out should be had at the same time in every part of the county, after persons of a suspicious character, and whose ap prehension may, by such means, be speedily and easily effected.—(Bury Gazette.) IPSWICH, APRIL 15.—( Fires. )—On Monday a haum stack, near the farm house and premises of Mr. Mayhew, i%liddlewood Green, Stonham, was maliciously set on fire.— By the great exertions of the neighbours it was extinguish ed without doing further a,iscl►ief. And on Thursday night, another haum stack, standing by itself, on the pre mises of Mr. Rand, of Flowton, was destroyed in a simi lar manner.— On Saturday, at noon, a fire was discovered in a shed belonging to Mr. S'yer, of New Hall, Copdock, which consumed the same, together with a quantity of straw. On the alarm being given, a great number of the surrounding villagers assembled, and a plentiful supply of water being at hand, it was fortunately extinguished with out communicating to the other buildings. It was very sa tisfactory to observe the prompt assistance given by every class on. this occasion, particularly the women, whO extrt ed themselves, with 'great effect, in handing pails of water, &c. Half an hour previous to its breaking out, a shabbily dressed man approached the houses, offering ballads for sale, and a suspicion was naturally entertained against him.—Seve ral parties rode out for the purpose of apprehending him, with out success. J A PAN.—By the Emperor of Japan almost every crime is punished with death, because disobedience to so great a potentate is reckoned an enormous crime. The question is not so much to correct the delinquent, as to vindicate the authority of the Prince. Lies spoken before the magistrates ; even things which have not the appearance of a crime, for instance a man's venturing his money at play, are punished with death. The se verity of the laws does not, however, repress crime ; the number of those who are suffocated or murdered in the streets, is, by those who have visited Japan, said to be incredible ' • young maids and boys are carried aw a y by forc e , an d a ft erwar d s found exposed in public places at unseasonable hours, quite naked, and sewed in linen bags, to prevent their knowing which way they had pass ed ; robberies are committed in a ll parts ; horses are stabbed, in order to bring their riders to the ground; and coaches over turned, that the ladies may be plundered. DENMARK.—Executions are rare in Denmark. A great number of those convicted of child-murder, are con demned to work in spin-houses for life, and to be whipped an nually, on the day when, and the s po t where, the crime was corn mined. This mode of punishment is dreaded more than death ; and since it has been adopted, has greatly prevented the frequency of the crime. At the entrance of many towns in Denmark, a whipping-post stands conspicuous • on the top the figure of a man is placed, with a sword by his side, and a whip in his right hand. Gibbets and wheels are also placed on emi nences, on which the bodies of. malefactors are sometimes left after execution, to deter others from crime. The place of execution is out of the city. Decollation by the sword is accounted more honourable than by the axe. This is the common mode of execution ; but for some more heinous crimes, the punishment is breaking upon the wheel: and in executing this on state prisoners, it has been the practice some times to begin with cutting off their right hands. After the sentence of a criminal is confirmed, he is allowed time to pre pare for death, from eight to fourteen days, as the chaplain at tending him thinks necessary. H e is confined in a cell or dun geon at night, but is allowed to be in an upper room in the day. ICELAND.—The punishments for capital crimes in Iceland are the same as those in Denmark; and the criminal is not hanged, but beheaded. It is a fact, however, that for many years, no Icelander has been found who would undertake the office of executioner, so that it was necessary for the very few who have been sentenced to suffer death, to be conveyed to. Norway, to receive the punishment for their crimes. The com mon mode of punishing ofFencetof a less heinous kind, is either whipping, or close confinement and hard, labour in the Tring huns, or House of Correction for certain years, or for life.

From the most early times of English History to the present, the town of Dover has ever been considered the high and direct road to and from the Continent, probably on account of the short water passage, and the certainty of making it in a given time; but perhaps, the intercourse between the two countries, has never, at any former period, been greater than atihe present time.

In the course of that morning, a young woman dressed like a servant girl, rather slight made, dark complexion, and of good and pleasing address, call e d a t h er s h op , an d representing-her self as the nursery-maid of Mrs. Saunders (wife of Mr. Nicho las Saunders, of Thames-street, and one of the CommOn'Coun cilmen of Billingsgate Ward), requested to look at some baby linen, and mentioned Mrs. Fitzherbert (a customer) as the person by whom her mistress had been recommended. Nliss Adams produced an assortment of articles, and the female selected two cambric caps, value 21. 2s. ; three nankeen frocks. 11. 18s. ; five white bodies, 21. 2s. ; nankeen, H. Is. ; and two short robes, 21. 16s. ; making in the whole 91. 17s. She said her mistress was very particular in paying for every thing on de livery, and requested Miss Adams to carry home the goods and she would accompany her. They proceeded together as far a, Thames-street, and the woman stopped at a house which is let in chambers to commercial men, and in which Mr. Saunders occupies apartments; she proceeded up stairs With the goods, leaving Miss Adams in the passage, and her own bonnet and shawl on the balustrades of the first floor. In a few minutes she returned, put on her bonnet and shawl again, and told Miss Adams that the goods were approved of, and that she was going out to get change for a large note, to pay her for them. She then departed, and the latter after waiting two hours applied to Mr. Saunders, who declared his ignorance of the whole trans action, and his fears that she had been made the dupe of some designing person, as Mrs. S. never lived at that house. On this statement, Reeve, the marshalman, went to the house in ques tion, which is occupied by three merchants, Mr. Saunders, Mr. Archer (one of the Churchwardens of Horselydown parish)and Mr. Tisdle, a ship-broker, whose respectability at once exoner ated them from all participation in the fraud. From what the officer could collect, it seems that many persons had been de frauded in a 'similar manner within the last week, and that a cutler in the city had furnished six dozen of knives and forks 'worth 201., under an idea that they were for Mr. Archer. On the same day that Miss Adams had the misfortune to lose her property, a mantua-maker from the London-road, named Drisar, came to the same house with a large bundle of valuable goods, which had been ordered for Mrs. Archer, but she had the good fortune to come when the chambers were shut for,the day, or it is more than probable that she would have been like wise done. The swindler is about 20 or 22 years of age, and rather marked with the small-pox. THE MARKETS: CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 17. We have a very good supply this day of every kinik,orfiran. The Wheat trade very dull at Monday's prices. Barie,y not much in request ; a few of the fi nes t sam pl es obtained Mon day's prices ; no trade for the ordinary sorts. Oats main tained Alonday's prices, but there was not much doing in them . to-day. Peas and Beans a slack demand, and at Morulaios prices. The market altogether bears an inactive aspect, as it has for some time past, and the prices rather tending downwards., which, of course, this fine spring weather will net a litee con tribute to. HOP INTELLIGENCE. _.....- --..—..... SOU THWARK, APRIL 15.—Our sales at present are not worth notice ; fortunately the Factors are not over stocked with Hops, otherwise, with such a trade, we should have a reduction in the prices.
