THE SUN. 501JM QUIS DICERE FAr,su.x A UDE4I LONDON, TUESDAY, J/INUARY 15, 1522. Whil e the grand question of peace or war be ll'Esen the Porte and Russia continues undeter ►nhned, and all the politicians of Europe are `training their sagacity with speculations on what known, and conjectures on what is uncertain, the Greeks are still making new acquisitions of territory and tstrong places, and apparently in cr''cis.ng in zeal and confidence. The protracted t,ociati•on between the two great neighbouring 7wers, whatever may be its final result, is to fi tese insurgents, if the opportunity be rightly and improved, a source of inestima bk advantage. If, contrary to the opinion most Prevalent at this time, hostilities between Russia and Turkey should by any means be averted, the eery existence of the Greek people may per haps depend upon their exertions in the present interval ; and upon those exertions may depend ' ll l but their existence, though Russia should ul timately take the field. It is an error to suppose that any consummation worthy to be called a deliverance of Greece can be effected without the strenuous and continued efforts of the Greeks themselves. Undoubtedly it is important, per haps it is indispensable, that in the early part of the conflict some powerful diversion should take Place in their favour ; but the final issue of the s truggle will be glorious and beneficial to them In proportion only to the part which shall have been contributed to it by their own exertions, we may even add by their own sufferings. Those who h ave been long degraded by servitude are not ren dered a free people by the accidental and sudden re moval of the pressure which bore them down. it is their own continued and forcible endeavour t 0 shake off the load, which enables them, when at length it has fallen, to stand erect and self , s tained before the world, secure against all attempts to bend them to the burden again. The 4 floillilation of a tyranny is not, as it seems often t° he supposed in these days, an operation re sembling the disenchantment of a captive in ro t restoring the emancipated party to a full ":I°Ylnent of his best energies and noblest Powers: a nation rescued from the oppressor, Unless it be in a great measure self-redeemed, is "ly respited for the moment, and waiting till a 11 elv master shall be ready to assume the dotni tlieu.—A war like that between the Greeks and "Irks is naturally marked in its first outset by all ttut sicrus of mutual fear and mutual hatred. .l' "he-i nsurgen t s , once embarked in an enterprise W hich affords no probable alternative but that of glorious triumph or frightful destruction, carry °TI hostilities with enthusiasm when successful ' lt ', when unfortunate, - with desperation. Ani 44)sitY exasperated by terror urges them on to cruelties, which are alivays most unsparingly e ltised when those who inflict to-day are /4 re that. it may be their turn to endure to- N ' t row. Fresh violences are justified 'by the 1)1 1. a of retaliation, or, as both parties too readily i are rendered necessary by considera s of prudence ; and the length to which t ttl ßQauc e or barbarous aggression may be. I . 4l icd und er such circumstances between na '°4l,ilrestrained by the rules of civilized war,• lily exemplified in the history of the •./ t ar t 1 770. But if the Greeks,- favdUred by the it to 44 eing position of Russia, or by the actual t 4 bencetnent of hostilities, should be enabled t ' a maintain a regular and persevering warfare ; nif CqUire that self-confidence which produces ° I II I exertion and well-directed enterprise; to dive s uch stability to their cause that despair or trig m ph may not hang upon the issue of every \ oni i 4 c t)and that the passions which animate them th efr struggle may, without subsiding, flow in 'daler course ; then, perhaps, unless we are i llh e : i ved by those who represent this nation as 4 Il ting virtues from the ancients, which ren t t,. it Capable of resuming its place in civilized mr on tb , re, we may expect to see the character of • People rising with its hopes, and strengthen "ll its resources, and gradually becoming td ) by the labours, the trials, and the sacri ves endured. for the re-establishment of free corn to preserve and e njoy freedom when re store,u'These ends will be materially advanced ,~. if, as some fol - eign accounts hare it, are making to introduce among the Greek Insur gents the discipline and warlike usages of mo dern Europe. But it would be a still brighter omen for the. ultimate success of their cause, if the progress of this contest were to f6rm or to call forth men, nay even one individual, fitted to direct the energies, unite the counsels, and concentrate the national spirit of his country men. The rising up of such a man would pro bably effect far more ; both for the present deli verance of Greece and for her ultimate re-esta blishment among civilized nations, than the pa tronage and co-operatio❑ of the mightiest Euro pean State.—The best consequence then, which, hi our opinion, can result to the Greeks from the present state of affairs, is, not that their neigh bours, by the sword or by negociation, should conquer Greece for them, but that the approach ing hostilities, or at least the protracted uncer tainty respecting them, should allow the insur gents an opportunity of conquering for them selves. That events should take such a course is not to be too confidently expected ; but it is plainly the more desirable contingency of the two; first, because it might have the effect of re novating the national character, as well as re storing the liberty, of the Greeks; and secondly , that in this case the connection of the Greeks with their Russian friends would be less likely to assume such a form as would threaten their own future independence and the interests of other nations. An Evening Paper, whose assertions and senti ments respecting the impending war between Russia and Turkey have recently, undergone a very great change, published a letter the other day, purporting to have been written at Vienna on the 27th December.----We cannot help sus pecting that this document was manufactured in London,—so opportunely does it come with ru mours, and inferences, and allusions to " letters worthy of credit," and" grounds to suspect," and considerable modifications," and the wondrous annunciation that " people are now not far from believing" that " Austria may possibly act with Russia," &c. So opportunely does it come, we say, to enable the Editor to glide with a good grace into the character of an advocate for the employment of the British arms in favour of the Greeks. However, whether the letter to which we allude be genuine or spurious, it is corroborative of the authentic statements which we made on the sth instant. If genuine, it proves that the policy which we know will be pursued in the event of a war breaking out, was partly known at Vienna on the 27th ult. If spurious, it shews that the party by whom it was published here, has grounds for believing that our information is correct. Of one thing our Readers may be assured, that the British Go vernment have left no honourable means of avert ing a war untried ; and that if, notwithstanding their exertions, a rupture actually takes place (and it is our opinion, for the reasons which we have so frequently stated, that a rupture is una voidable), England will give her aid in erecting Greece into an independent Slate. The French Papers of Friday and Saturday have arrived since our last, from which we pre sent extracts, and the report of a Debate in the Chamber of Deputies, relative to the proposed new Law for controlling the French Press, which will be found both important and interesting. The French Papers inform us of the sudden death of the Duchess of BounnoN, Princess of CoNnt, and mother to the unfortunate Duke d'ENontEs. She had gone last Thursday to the newly consecrated Church of St. Genevieve to attend Divine Service, and was following a pro cession when she suddenly tottered, and after vain efforts to recover herself , sunk down in a swoon. She was immediately carried to an apart ment in the ;cote dc Droit, almost opposite the Church, and M. PELLETAN and several other dis tinguished physicians attended, but death had anticipated their arrival, and the Princess was no more.—Another account adds, that the affec tion which terminated so fatally, and in so.short a time, was the effect of sudden cold in an im mense Church paved with marble, and, like all other Roman Catholic temples, unprovided with pews. The Duchess de 80-Jauos was in her 72d year, having been born the 9th July, 1750. (4 critNsty.—The foliowing Extract of a Let ter was received this morning at LLO in's, dated Guernsey, January 4 : " During the late gales the Black Buoy of the Channel, called the Small Russell, was carried away, and as it may be some time before it can be replaced, owing to local difiiCulties and the winter season, Mariners would do well to note the Caution , ivea Deschamp's Instructions,' published in 1318, (page 51,) ° by which accidimts might be avoided." - The necessary preparations are now making at Carlton Palace for the return of.his MAJESTY, on the Ist of next month, from Brighton. - ftELAND. Flom tie CLONMCI. AnvEßT:sr..x.] . A few nights ago, threatetiing notices were post ed in the parish of RathHue y , against tenants who lately took lands in th a t and other parishes in the barony of Clan william ; and Denis Dwyer, of Rathliney, Proctor to the very Het. Dean Bagwell, received the following notice : " DEAR Slit_We, the underneath persons, take an oppor_ tunity of writing these few lines to you, hoping you will take notice of them ; if not, you will rue it for an .enemy, as you may be called. We hope you will give up all claims relative to the ttking of ground in toe parish of Kilmilkin, and in all places whatsoever, as we would not wish to visit you without serving you with notice; and you may depend on our word, if you were to be guarded by all the Peelers and soldiers in the county, we will go to you, if you do not give up the aforesaid claims to all persons concerned, as yon receive this letter ; or if not, receive the ceremonies and rites of the Church, and occupy your time diurnally in prayer and fasting; and also have your burial place settled ; but as fOr the latter, we believe you need not trouble yourself; as you may be positively assured we will burn, and serve you as the unhappy victims near Fethard were served.—We remain your inveterate Friends, _ _ _ " Colonel STAR, and Men.

FROM " THE CORK MERCANTILE CHRONICLE," JAN. 11.] We are informed that the neighbourhood of Croolihaven is far from being quiet ; and that the peaceable and respectable inhabitants of the Pa rish, as well as the Revenue dPpartment on Rock Island, are under arms every night. - On Wednesday, Mr. Berbard hearing that a man named Donot.;an had been wounded severely in the ,encounter which took place on Monday night, and was concealed in the neighbourhood of Newcestown, where the affair occurred, went in search of him in company with his two bro thers, each of them' armed with a double-barrel gun. About four o'clock in the evening, they saw six suspicious looking fellows on foot at a distance ; who made towards them; one of them more advanced than the rest made up io Mr. Adderly Bernard Beamish, and snapt a pistol, which providentially missed fire. Mr. E. 13eamish then snapt at him, and missed fire also, upon which, Mr. A. Bernard imme diately as the villains was running off shot him dead. The other five made off as fast as they could, but Mr. Bernard and' his brother, taking deliberate aim, fired on them and saw another of them fall.—Mr. Bernard and his brothers being wholly unattended did not think it prudent to pursue them) in a part of the country which was wild and uninhabited. They secured the dead body,and brought it to the Guard house of Mr. Be rnard's Yeomanry Corps at Murrogh Cross. Upon examining the body, it appears to be that of a person above the lower class, rather well dressed, and apparently not belonging to that part of the country where Mr. Bernard lives. In his pockets were found some money, a parcel of bullets, a Prayer-book, with the form of the oath the In surgents administer. It is generally believed, that in the affair which took place on the Mon day night preceding, two persons besides Donovan were killed. TITIIES.—On Saturday last, a most important tithe cause came to be tried before the Reve rend S. T. Roberts, Surrogate, of the Diocese of Leighlin and Ferns. John Baily, adminis trator of John Davis, VMS promovent ; Felix Toole, impugnant. The claim was for tithe of corn, hay, rape, potatoes, &c. &c. It appeared that the original lessee specified corn, hay, sheep, and lambs—without any mention of rape or potatoes ; the tithe of which was resibted as illegal. The entire day was spent in arguing this point, and settling a question of title under the administration. The trial was adjourned till next Court day, that, in the interval, Counsel's opinion may be had on the original lease. James Grattan, Esq., M.P., attended in Court, as pro prietor of the lands which were tithed.—(Carlow Morning Post.) The Duke of YOPac left tJwn yesterday on a visit to his MAJESTY at Brighton. The Marquis of TyrcbrlELD was elected Mem ber of Parliament for Lynn, in the room of Sir M. B. FOLKEi, deceased. Mr. BLAKE has returned from Ireland, and yesterday re-assumed his duties in the Court of Chancery as a Barrister. The University of 'Virginia have Made an ap peal to Congress, for the removal of the duty on foreign books---mere especially those rare clas sical works which are wanted in the higher branches of education, many of w hich are pro cured, but with great difficulty, in that country, and some of which cannot be had at all. A series of Curacoa Papers arrived yesterday to the end of October. The depreciations com mitted by the Pirates «ho infest the West Indies, form the great bulk of their contents. The in telligence respecting the events passing on the Spanish Main has of course lost much of its inte rest since the almost total extinction of the Royal cause in that quarter. The Barrack Masters at Maker, near 1 3 :3. mouth, and Scilly, ,have been reduced. • At a meeting of 'the master carpenters in Bris tol, on Friday, it was agreed to reduce the price of labour 6d. per day. The Admiralty Sessions - will be held at the Old Bailey, on Monday next, instead of Friday the 11th, as originally appointed.

Sir Jonx SiNct-titt, Bart., se conded by Sir JAMES FraGusos, of Kilkerran, Bart., the Society unanimously- resolved, cc That it be an instruction to the Directors, to take into their early and most ,serious consideration, the distressed state of the landed and farming into rests, with authority to them to take such steps as the circumstances of the case may require, with the view of obtaining efictual remedies for those distresses." Saturday, the house of Lord BEAUCLEIIC, in Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, was robbed of a portmanteau, containing, besides a travelling wardrobe, a red case containing a gold chain, brooch and knee buckles, a silver star enamelled, with three gold crowns, a gold cross enamelled, and other property.

Sir Charles Morgan, was run for in heats, and won by Th:. - enas Lewes, Esq. - The handicap cup for the winners -of the day, was won in a sharply contested race by Mr. Megan. The Glamorganshire militia band was in at tendance, and dancing was kept up every evening with gre a t spirit. On the 7th, the neighbouring gentry were invited to dinner, at which above seventy persons sat down. In the even ing, an elegant Ball and Supper were given. ---Mr. Morgan's harriers afforded excellent sport to a numerous field of gentle men who were resident at Tredeger.. _ _ WEsTmrssTEtt HALL.—E a rly in the last week the timber in Westminster Pall, which had remained since the Corona tion, was sold by auction for the benefit of Lord Gwydyr.

GREAT TROTTING MATCH for 1000 GUINEAS. The Western road was all bustle at an early hour yesterday, as this great match was fixed to take place on Sunbury Com mon; and the next amusement was the Boxing-maich on Nloul sey Hurst. The match was between Mr. Aldridge's brown mare, 14 hands 2 inches, and Mr. Hall's chesnut mare, 15 hands 2 inches ; and many hundreds were sported upon the event. The brown mare was trained by the owner at fledfont, and the chesnut by Jonathan Chalkeley, and each carried list. The umpires were Mr. Hull for the brown, and Mr. Lawton for the chesnut ; betting 7 to 4 on the brown ♦ and 5 to 4 that the winner did the mile (from the third to the fourth mile-stone from Hampton) within three minutes. The brown mare took the lead at starti4, and shot a-head, when she broke into a gallop, and was turned round before the other mare got up with her. She resumed the lead, and won the race py seve:al lengths ; arel had it not been for breaking, she would have won within the three minutes : the time occupied in..the race was three minutes two seconds. The party belonging to the chesnut expressed dissatisfaction at their rider, and offered to match again for 200 guineas a-side, and people expected another race, but it was off ae.ain. The ground was much thronged, and the next assemblage was at Moulsey, to see the fight. flis Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Charidos, in a letter to the Mayor of this City, announces his recent elevation in the , Peerage, and has in consequence transmitted a draft for 501. to be distributed among the poor, at the discretion of that Gentle man. The Duchess also sent a donation of 501. to be appro priated to the same benevolent purpose. The Reverend C. S. Bonnet has also recalled .:4JI. from her Grace, to he distributed among the poor of Avington.—We omitted to Mention, that 785 poor penons, 'of the parishes of Arington, Easton, and Martyr Worthy, were on Christmas Day regaled with a good substantial dinner, and presented with various articles of cloth ing. And en New Year's Day . 204 persetis were entertained at Brighton in' a similar manner, by direction of the amiable Duchesg of Burkingham_(Harapshire Chroni c l e .) THEATar..—A new piece; founded on the new romance of The Pirate, and with the same. title, was last night produced at this Theatre. It follows the course of a piece de rived from the same original, at another Theatre, and the leading outlines and characters are si milar. It has not less 'interest than the one alluded to, and was altogether well cast in the acting. The chief performers were, Messrs. 11. JonNsToN and OXBERRY. The scenery was good, and the whole was enlivened by songs, dances, and the music which accompanied the dumb-thew. Miss NORTON, formerly of Covent- Garden Theatre, performed the part of ,Norna, a personage who fancies that she posessef - super natural powers, .and who makes an important figure in the plot. Miss NORTON is much im proved in acting, and she rendered the character very impressive. There was a numerous au dience, and the piece was well received.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE; A CASE OE HEART-RENDING DISTRESS. ;laN 610 Uea.—Yesterday an investigation took place before the Loan MAYOR, which caused a great sensation amongst the numbers of persons who were present in the justice-room upon %)usinesa or from curiosity. A man of decent appearance, named George Poole, was Char:;eci on Saturday last by a poulterer, w h o res id es in I,itt!.. Bell-alley, with having stolen tw o f ow l s , w hi c h l ay rather exposed in the front of the shop. An officer named Field, had observed the unfortunate man looking about in agi tation, and suspected that his object was to snatch at some thing. The suspicion was corre c t. Th e prsoncr se i zed the two 'fbwls and walked away. The oflicei followed and secured him. No attempt was made at escape, nor did the prisoner attempt to deny the charge. On the contrary, he stood calmly and acknowledged that he had taken what he was not entitled to ; but he said he had a wife and three children, at no great distance, starving ; and his wife was waiting at home in the vain hope that he - would take to her as much money as would give them one meal, and pay for the burial of her youngest in fant, who had lain dead for some days. The Loan Al YO it observed something in the conduct of the prisoner at the bar of the justice room which led him to give credit to his statement. His Lordship asked him why he was not at work, and whether he had not applied to his parish in so dreadful an eatreanity as he had described ? The prisoner replied, that he had in vain applied for work, and that the parish upon which he had a claim (the parish of St. Luke's) allowed bins b u t 4 s . a wee k---a sum winch merely paid for his lodgings. The Loan a!aYon then directed that the prisoner should be provided with food, and lodged in the Compter ; and that strict inquiry should be made into the state of his family. Yesterday Field, who is an officer of Coleman -street, stated to the Lord Mayor that he had made the necessary inquiry into the case of Poole's family, and found that the account given by that unfortunate individual was far from being ex aggerated. The officer. went according to the directions of Poole, to No. 1, New-row, Merpel-street, Old-street-road, and learned that the family of the po or man were a b ove stairs : upon going up, he saw Mrs. Poole in a state ofindescribable distress. :She had scarcely any clothes upon her : there was neither bed nor covering of any kind in the room, but in a corner lay a few rags, in which he believed the wretched family endea voured to huddle themselves up at night. There were three half-naked children with the mother ; they were crying, no doubt for bread; but there was an object in the room which excited the compassion of the witness even more than the distress of the hungry children. Upon a chair without an 7 more covering than a littl e f roc k, l ay a dead child. For some days it had lain in that state. No money could be got to pur chase a coffin. The father had left the house in despair, but his wife knew his attachment to those who looked to him for sup port, and had no apprehension for .some time about his return. His delay caused great agony, when she reflected upon the via knee °lids grief at seeing his children periShing. On being tolct that he was in prison, she expressed but little surprise at laaring that he had stolen the means of keeping life in those who re mained for some time longer, The officer declared that in his life he had never witnessed such mis , .lv ; and although a poor man himself, he could not help giving the poor desolate woman a shilling The moment he gave her the money she dropped down on her knees to thank him. Bread was immediately brought to the children, and the officer left them in a state of comparative felicity. While the officer was menticaing those particulars, Poole stood at the bar in tears. The Lottn M Aron relieved the present wants of .the unfor tunate person who so powerfully affected all around hint, and desired him to state those facts to the parish of St. Luke, by which instant and abundant relief would, no doubt, be granted. His Lordship deeply regretted the misfortunes which had led Poole to run the hazard of lasting disgrace and punishment, and expressed a hope that employment would be given to him by those in the line of business he followed, who were qualified to assist him. The prisoner said he was a watch-raider ; that he had for 13 years resided in a r e putabl e wa y in'Uoleman-street, where he was a master, and that unforeseen calamities had reduced him to his present state. The officer confirmed this account, and said that the neigh bours stated that the prisoner was a hardworking man, and full of misfortunes. The poult r _r, upon hearing of the distress of Poole, said he never would pros.!cute undcr such circumstances ; he would much rather relieve. Poole left the Justice-room to visit his unfortunate wife and family, and to represent his case to the parish. • • The presents destined from this rQuntr y to the Bey of Tripoli reached that place in September, and were pre sent to his Highness by Capt.
