We haie little additional intelligence from the Continent to-day respecting the question of Peace or W ar between Russia and the Porte ; but it must be obvious to our Readers that war is ine vitable. The British Government have made every exertion in their power to avert it, but. the bigotry, obstinacy, and cruel policy of the Porte have rendered all their efforts abortive ; and we are enabled to state upon authority, on Which we have the most perfect reliance, that we trlzty daily expect to receive intelligence of the actual 'commencement of hostilities. Information to this effect has been in our possession.for several Gaya, and every arrival from the Continent has contributed to prove its correctness and authen ticity. However c on f i d en tl y i t may b e stated by • other papers, that the British Government enter. tam unfriendly feelings towards theGreeks,we as rt, without fear of centradiction, that the course Which they have adopted is not only the most poli tic, but the most humane, and the most likely to et*- . ft..ct that object whichall the country most earnestly desires,--the independence of Greece, established Ta a firm basis, equally free from the barbarous s ystem of the Turks, and from any controul or influence on the part of Russia which might en-. danger the security or integrity of their Euro.. Pcan States. The article dated from Odessa, kc• 3, inserted in our paper of yesterday, alludes 10 the indignities offered to our Ambassadors ; and eye have reason to believe that the Govermnent are Possession of official information of the particu lars, and that they are convinced that the forbear ance which they have hitherto observed, from the best of motives, can no longer be preserved ; 4114 th at they must resort to more effective mea sures than mere negot i at i on, to secure the Greek u I nn from utter extermination. We are also inf orm , Lard s euthat we may soon expect to hear that for w e li tA NGFORD has quitted. Constantinople, understand that the latest dispatches re ceived from his Lordship gave no hope of a suc cessful termination of his efforts, but intimated , th at from the disturbed state of Constantinople, 4141 the bigotted and violent character of the Present Sultan, it would be impossible for him to "Minn° in the Ottoman capital, or to prevent a immediate rupture. We request the particular attention of the Country, to the foregoing article.—lt is important. A report prevailed in the City, this morning-, that ill'ozlernment are about to send a squadron o . r O bs ervation into the Mediterranean. - 1- 1 our preceding columns we have given ex t4'=ts from German Papers to the 25th ultimo, I ru ssels Papers t o th e I st i nstant, and the l'l'enelt Journals o f W e d nes d ay.

The co: for this year is about rdone in this pait . or the Island. Batavia is COR the great depot •; there has not been a Govern. men( sale of this jear's crop, but it is expected daily to take place, and coffee will go high, say . 23 dollars, which, with auction duty of 6 per cent., will cost on board about 2.7 ; sugars 8 a 8 on board, scarce, but crop near at hand ; there are yet in the Island about 130,000 picals of cof fee. There are in Java one million and a half of dollars American property uninvested, most o which is designed for coffee. At Batavia, July 28 coffee was selling at 23 a 231 on shore ; the ric( crop will fall short this yedr, and I fear it wil cause much distrdss among the natives. The fal of Palembang will make tin more plentiful." The Agriculturists and their Landlords are holditq Meetings throughout the country, on the subject of theis. distresses. On 'Thursday last one of these assemblages,, very numerously at tended, was held at Battle, in Sussex, the Earl of ASHBURNHAM the Chair.—Mr. CURTEIS, M.P. for the County, thought the country was-on the brink of a frightful precipice, for pauperism, penury, ruin, and .beggary, seemed with rapid strides to be pervading the whole land. The first and leading cause of this, in his opinion, was the want of a sufficient protection of British agri. cultural produce against that o,f f ore i gn e rs. - - He appealed to any person in the room, whether we. were not in more peril from the cheap and • untaxed corn of foreigners, than we ever were from their , arms and hos tility. The protection' required by the agri cultural interest, and: for which it should ask, was a duty of 40s. per. quarter. on wheat, and so in proportion for other produce, whenever the averages indicate the price 40 be at 20/. a load. Ik wished to see the system of averages and'warehousing entirely abolished, and the KING in CounCil empowered, after we had obtained the protecting tax of 40s. per quarter, to open the ports, on the approach of scarcity, by his Royal. Proclamation. The drift of that fallacious document, the Agricultural Report, was to prepare us for a - free trade in corn, which would be oar utter ruin, for we cannot...compete with the fo reigner, the price of the best.wheat at Ilam burgh at this time not exceeding 20s. per quar ter. Another Cause of our distress, was the rash and ill-advised return to cash payments. Mini sters had suffered themselves to he taunted into this ruinous measure by their opponents: IVe had abundance of produce and abundance of coa sumers, or of those who would wish to be con sumers, but we were in want of that which is necessary to bring . theM together —we were in a great measure without a circulating me dium: For this evil he knew of no remedy but time, and their distress was, so pressing, that they could not well wait for that. We could not again recur to a ptiper currency, for that would cause the exchanges to fall, and would expose us a second time to the dreadful process of return ing to cash. The third cause of the distress, was , the oppressive and grinding taxation. It could not I I be endured. Fifteen millions each quarter (a sum equal to our whole circulation) were taken from our pockets and carried into the Treasury. Eco nomy should extend itself to great as well as to small places, and much might be done for our benefit by a Tax under the name of a Property Tax on the public funds. There could be no reason, also, why the stockholders should not contribute to the maintenance of the national clergy, for they had souls to be saved as well as the land-owners. There could be no reason why they should not contribute to th e support of th e p oor , f or they made paupers as well as the landowners. The best remedy for pauperism and poors' rates would be to increase the wages of the poor, to better their condition, and to render them independent of the over seers.--Mr. BRITTON/ said it was .a fallacy to talk of the importation of foreign corn as a cause of the distress ; for we had had no impor tation for three years. Tithes and Pours' Rates. were certainly grievous, but the ,Principal thing was a reduction of taxation.--Mr. LANGFORD read an extract of A letter from Lord GEORGE 'CAVENDISH, expressing his regret that he could not attend the meeting ; and giving his Lordship's opinion • that relief was not to be obtained by repealing the Corn Laws, or substituting a protecting duty ; but by the decrease of our enormous taxation, and a corresponding reduc tion of our public expenditure. Resolutions and Petitions were then adopted, declaratory of the increasing distress of the Agriculturist, and praying for relief.---Mr. CPBBET T having been observed at the meeting, was invited by a depu tation to dine with the company, Mr. CURTEIS, M.P., in the chair. Mi. CORBETT was hailed with loud applause on entering the room, and was called to fill the chair at the second table. On his health having been drank, he addressed the company in a long speech, contending that a Corn Bill of no description could do any good either to landlord or tenant, arid stating it as his decided opinion that though prices were now low, they must go still lower, until they reach 3s. a bushel for wheat, where under present circum stances and measures they would remain. The only remedy, in his judgment, was, that the stand ing army should be greatly reduced ; that all pensions, salaries, and pay, issuing out of public money, should be reduced ; that the public debt should be reduced ; and that all 'mortgages, rent charges, leases, and other contracts, for a time, should be; raised and rectified on the basis of, and in proportion to, the Ilse in the value of money, occasioned by a return to cash payments.

RAMSGAM JAN. 4.—Yesterd a y was a highly gratifyi ng day for Raiusg a te . W e h a d the pleasure of seeing our Friend and Patron, Sir Wm. Crms, dining amongst us at the Albion Hotel, at which I am truly happy to say the utmost harmony and conviviality reigned. Our worthy Deputy filled, the Chair most ably, and upon his healthbeing drank, returned thanks in a, neat and appropriate sp eec h. B u t h ow much myself and fellow townsmen are indebted to the active and worthy Gentleman of the Committee, Mr. RonEnT PAGE, the Vide-President, for the splendid arrangements he made, and the excellence of the wine of his selecting ; it was very justly remarked how admirably he is'adapted to take the lead in such parties for his well-known taste and talents. Upon I4is health being drank he, in a very forcible and energetic speech, returned thanks, Stating th a t he felt great ple asure i n h av i ng been useful and instrumental in adding to the comforts of the Meeting; he highly complimented Sir Wsr. C GET is for having been so actively engaged for many years in extending the con sequence and. best interests of the town: Ile hoped what had been reported would in a short time be realized, that is, that the town would be made a corporate one and distinct from any other, and have an efficient Police. He sat down amid loud and repeated cheers. • THE THEATRE.—The comedy of The Jew was last night revived at Drury-lane Theatre, and Mr. ELLISTON, whose excellent performance of Shear, the benevolent hero of the piece, highly contributed to its success, resumed that charac ter, and supported it with all his original merit. He has wisely avoided the new school of act ing, and gave the character with all the truth, feeling, and interest, intended by the author. This play is so well calculated to les3en the prejudice against an industrious, useful and persecuted people, and is so interest ing in Itself, and so well supported by the acting of the Manager, that it is likely to be successful in its revival. The play was other wise well cast, and well represented. • THE Co- RONATION succeeded with its usual splendour, and seemed to be highly gratifying to the holi day visitors. .We understand that Lieutenant-General Sir EDW. PAGET, G.C.13., now commanding the Forces at Ceylon, is appointed -Commander-in- Chief hi the East Indies, from which the return of the Marquis of HASTINGS, who holds that appointment, as well as . that of Governor-Ge neral, appears certain ; as also that a Civilian will succeed the Marquis as Governor-General. (Morning Chronicle.) BRIGHTON, JAN. 3.—The weather to-day has been variable and unpleasant. The KING has promenaded the Palace Lawn, and taken exer cise on horseback in the hiding School. Yesterday Si r BENJAMIN B LOOMFIEL D , in his capacity as Private Secretary to the KING, trans acted business at the Treasury, with the Earl of LIVERPOOL, the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. Ills Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, whom we last week staled to be on a visit to the Earl of WasTmoaLAND at Apthorpe, near this place, Ito. noured the Marquis of EXETER, on Sunday last, by dining with his Lordship and a distinguished party at Burleigh-house. Un the.following day his Royal Ilighnes.s, his Grace the Duke of RUTLA.ND, the Marquis of EXETER, the Ear's of WINCIIILSEA anti WESTMORLAND, Lord PoLLY, General GROSVENOR, and a few other gentlemen whose names we have not heard, formed a shoot ing party on the Noble Marquis's manor of Eas ton ; and so plentiful were the "" wanderers of the wood and field," that a cart, laden with the spoils of the day, returned to Burleigh in the evening. His Royal Highness appeared to be a good shot;. Some sportsmen would have called Mon day a slaughter day, so ninnerous were the vic tims ; and, besides thOse•• bagged —or, we ought to say, carted- 7 -many were wounded, and left among the " thickening - brakes" to live " The bitter little that of life remained." Yesterday his Royal Highness left BUrlei7b for Belvoir Castle. The Duke of WELLINGTON, the Earl of WESTMORLAND, and .some other Noble men, arrived at Burleigh just as his Royal High ness was starting thence, and,turning theircarriages round, formed a part. of the Royal suite. The Royal and other carriages passej through Stain. ford at one o'clock. 7--( Stamford News.) MAKING TILE MOST OP A GOOD THING.----11? hen the baggage of Lady I/AmILToN was landed at Palermo, Lord NELSON'S coxswain was very ac tive in conveying it to the ambassador's hotel. Lady HAurr.Tox observed this, and•presenting the man With a tnoidore, said, " Now wy friend, what will you have to drink,?" Why, please ,your honour," said the coxswain, " I am not thirsty." " But," said her ladyship, " Nelson's steersman inust drink with Inc ; .so what will you take, a dram, a glass of grog, or a glass of punch.'" " - Why," said Jack, "as I am to drink with your ladyship's honour, it wouldn't be good manners to be backward ; so I'll take the dram now,nand wii! be drinking the glass of grog while your ladyship is mixlng the tumbler of-punch for inc." P 0 E t tt Y. THE CHANGE. But yesterday, and we were one., Heart seemed to heart so firm united. And now, ere scarce a day be gone, The dream is fled, the proSpect blighzd I have not learn'd the grovelling aft, What truth would faih reveal to smother And ah ! I have too proud a heart To share thy bosom with another And little did I think; to see A dream so soft to grief awaken.: Or that my love should be, by thee, So fast forgot, so soon forsaken. The April cloud is seen,—is. fl ow n With every passing wind it wavers No firmer tie man trusts upon, When link'd to bliss—by woman's favorers. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, DONCASTER RACES. 1822.

Tilt A NTI-JACOBIN REviEw.---We find, with regret, that this respectable Publication; which had been" carried on for many years, has, at length, finally closed its career. The Editor, however, has erroneously stated its ORIGIN, in saying that " a few of the Ministry, some of whom yet survive, in conjunction with the late JOHN GIFFORD, Esq., first commenced a Newspaper called Tur AxTr-JAcosiN,' &c. &c." Now, as the WEEKL Y PAPER alluded to, styled 44 TnE ANTI-JACOBIN ExAmisat,"- was first published at THE SUN - OFFICE we are fully acquainted with its origin, and can positively affirm, that the late JOHN GIFFORD; ESQ. was wholly unconcerned in it, and at that period unknown to the Parties by whom it was instituted. As TnE A NTI-JA cottN. EXAMINE R was supported by the literary efforts of some of the ablest friends of Government, at that.time, in point of learning, wit, political knowledge, and acumen, it be came highly popular, and was very successful.— The work was only intended to be kept up dur ing one Session of Parliament, and was then closed by consent of all the parties concerned in it. The high character, hoWever, which it had gained for wit, humour, • literary merit, :and political rectitude, naturally gave interest and importance to its name, and therefore the late JOHN (AFFORD, Esq. influenced by the same loyal feelings Uhich had animated the work, on its total cessation availed himself of part of the 'original title, and founded The .Ali- Jacobin Review, which he condUcted for many years with great zeal and ability, in conjun,c tion with several learned and respectable mem bers of the EsTABEIsn'En Ciltißc:l, but with out any connection with the writers of the first admirable series of weekly papers. At length he resigned the conduct of The Anti-Jacobin Review some years before his death, but with the same loyal feelings, was an occasional and able contributor. W e have thought it necessary to give this explanation, as many mistakes have been made by those who were ignorant of the distinction between the two publications; and while we sincerely deplore that the writers of the first excellent work did not pursue their humo rous, popular, and highly beneficial lucubrations, we egret also that THE ANTI-JACOBIN REVIEW should be Suffered to sink into oblivion by a loyal a:ld religious People. , (4 0.0 , ....--44. 1 . 4 (fa:II.. )4-j-,,,:-,`!.

J. M. Mundell. HAND EL.—The celebrated composer, HANDLL, had such a remarkable irritation of nerves, that he could not bear to hear the tuning of instru ments, and therefore this was always do nejae fore he arrived at the theatre. A musical wag, who knew how to extract some mirth from Handei's irascibility of temper, stole into the orcheF tra, on a night when the Prince of Wales was to he present, and untuned all the instruments. As soon as the Prince arrived, Handel gave the. signal of beginning, con spirit° ; but such was the horrible discord, that the enraged musician started up from his seat, and having 'overturned a double bass, which stood in his way, he seized a kettle-drum, which he threw with such violence at the leader of the band, that he 'lost full-bottomed wig in the effort. Without Wait ing to replace it, he advanced bare-headed to the front of the orchestra, breathing vengeance, hut so much cloaked with passion, that utter ance• was denied him. In this ridiculous at titude he stood staring and stamping for some moments, amidst a convulsion of laugh ter; nor could he be prevailed upon to resume his seat, until the Prince went in-person, and with much difficulty appeased his wrath. When MARMONTEL was a school-boy, his IM.o. ter chastised him for some youthful offence, which he resented by so severe a laMpoon, that he was under the necessity of running away. Ileing afraid of returning to his parents,• he entered as a private soldier in a regiment commanded by the Prince of CONDE ; and in the year when he obtained a halbert, this celebrated Poet wrote his charming history of Bclisarius. Many appli cations were made for his discharge, which the Prince. always Withstood, declaring it- to be the most flattering honour he could poisibly re ceive, to have such a mad as MARMOI,7TEL a .ser jeant in his regiment.

MATRIMONY THE BEST DOCTOge---AD artist belonging to the Royal Academy being much hypped, was eternally complaining of illness, hut could never tell what was the matter with him. At length he married, which being told to FOOTE, he exclaimed, " I heartily wish hint joy ; for now he'll readily find Out what is the with him." On the 21st and 22d instant, an important seizure was made by four of the " Preventive Water Guard," at Port William, accompanied by Andrew M‘Kie, and A. Livingstone, tide-waiters, the former stationed at Drumore, and the latter at Portnessoekt, Mull of Galloway. The seizure consisted of 151 packages, containing 10,180 lbs. of tobacco, and thirty three kegs, containing 129 gallons of excellent geneva, 26 per cent, above hydrometer proof.
