The latest Mercantile Letters from Vienna say, that the alarming reports in consequence of the unexpected issue of the Ikegociation still continue, and do not seem to be officially contradicted, but that the hopes of peace must not be considered as wholly destroyed, and the arrival of another courier from the Austrian Minister at Constantinople must he waited for. At Vienna itself much uncertainty seems to • prevail on the sub ject. On the other hand all the private letters from Berlin, Poland, and Russia, for some days past, have been almost without exception of a war like tenor. FROM TILE MAINE, APRIL -3.—The fair has opened to-day, that is to say, the shops are open for retail .trade, for all the wholesale business is generally over before . the retail begins. The d Swiss, we learn, have. one a great deal of busi ness, especially in expensive articles, such as em broidered muslins, &c. Large supplies of Hun garian and Moravian wool have also come to ' • • 'do for this fair. In general, however, we • do not expect much of this fair, as the causes still continue in full force which have had so injuri •ous. an effect on preceding fairs. ST. PETERSBUIIGII, MARCH 26.—0 n Sunday the Anniversary of his Majesty's Accessionlo the Throne was observed in the most solemn manner. The new Tariff, which will be printed in a few days, is in fact only a supplement to that al ready in force. It is not to be in force till May 1 (0.5.) ; and all mercantile transactions and consignments from abroad, previous to that date, are to be regulated according to the present Tariff. It is now positively known, that by the new supplement the following articles are to be in future prohibited :—All white, green, and black cloths, refined sugars and lumps, silk ma -nufactures, jewellery, and several articles of steel. The import duty on other articles, for instance - wines, will probably be raised 50 per cent. Moscow, MARCH 23.—According to a letter from Jassy, many more Greeks, Wallachians, Moldavians, and other fugitives from Turkey, to the number of 7,000 men, who had hitherto remained quietly in Bessarabia, had received or -ders to quit that country, and to retire further into the interior of Russia. From Kestenoff we learn that great magazines are forming in Bessarabia. The hopes of the evacuation of the principalities by the Turkish troops have wholly vanished. The heavy artil lery has been brought back by the Janissaries, and the number of troops, which was greatly di minished a few weeks ago, daily increases. Cre dible travellers represent these provinces, which only a year ago were so flourishing, as a frightful desert; and the cruelties exercised by the Turks on the unfortunate inhabitants, as above all de- scription. Fresh Divisions of our troops, in the finest -.condition, continue to assemble on the Pruth. LIAMBURGH, APRIL 11.—We have received the following letter of the 26th of March from the South Russian frontier The whole of the second Russian army is immediately going to assemble in a great camp near the town of Winmeza, is Podolia. His Majesty the Emperor is expected shortly, re lays ofliorscs'being already prepared at all the stations for his journey.—Of the corps of General Sabanietf, only one division and the Cossacks remain in Bessarabia ; the other divisions of that corps are to go to the great camp above-mentioned. A con siderable fleet is tting out at Nicolajew. A courier passed the frontiers yesterday, with the news that a Congress is to be held at Warsaw." BERLIN, APRIL B.—Mr. Leipscher, an Aus trian Imperial Cabinet Messenger, has arrived here from Vienna. The Russian Courier, Blu menthal, is gone express to Warsaw. On the 15th March there was a terrible fire at Sensburg, in the Government of Gumbinnen, - which, in the space of a few hours, reduced to ashes . 47 dwelling-houses (mostly of wood), 70 . barns, 27 stables, and 2 magazines. A7VISTERDAM, APRIL 16.—We have had for some days past the pleasure of having the Royal Family among us. Their Majesties, with the Princess Marianne, arrived on the 10th, in the afternoon, and soon after their Royal Highnesses Prince Frederic of the Netherlands, and Prince Frederic William Louis of Prussia. On the 11th in the morning his Majesty held a grand Levee, which was exceedingly numerous and brilliant. His R. H. the Prince of Orange arrived like wise on the 11th, and in the evening all the Royal Family honoured the theatre with their presence. The Prince of Orange returned to Soetsdyk after the play was over. Their Ma jesties have attended the German and French Theatres alternately, and been everywhere re ceived with unbounded demonstrations of joy. On the 13th, in the evening, a crack was observed in the edifice of the wharf of the East India Company, at the end of the Great Osterburg-street, which continued to increase : the same afternoon, at half-past four, the right • wing of the building fell with a great noise. —Last night, or rather at two o'clock this morning, a part of the left wing next the clock fell, and at five the tower, with the clock itself. By this accident a corn-porter was killed, who has left a widow and eight children ; four other workmen were more or less injured. The accident happened just when the men were - busy in the magazine., which was full of corn. HAGUE, APRIL 15.—Iler Royal Highness the Princess of Orange left this city on the 13th in the afternoon, to go in her yacht to Utrecht, and was immediately followed by the Prince. - Their Royal Highnesses, with the young Princes, their • sons, arrived at Utrecht yesterday afternoon, and proceeded thence to Soetsdyk; HaAnr,Em, APRIL lb.—The second Russian Army which is to encamp near Winmeza, in Po dolia, must be all assembled by the 13th inst. SPAIN. MADRID, APRIL 5. In the sitting of the 2d instant, a second read. ing took place of a proposition made by Senor Velasco, for the suppression of the office of St. Gregory VII., as containing maxims hostile to social order. He supported his proposition by pointing out the necessity of expunging from the divine service all the pernicious maxims which had been introduced intcPit by the abuse of the authority of the Court of Rome. By those maxims the principle had been inculcated that the Porte was superior to all temp - oral authority ; and that he could, as he did in the case of Henry IV., dispense subjects from their allegiance. These maxims; and others of the same kind, had led to serious errors, by placing the spiritual in opposition with the civil power. This could not be permitted in the present age. The pi °po sition was ordered to be referred to the Ecclesi astical Committee. In the Sitting of the 3d, the Cortes took into consideration the report of the Committee on the liberty of the Press. In this report the opinion of the Committee is expressed on certain doubts which had been expressed by the protecting Junta of the liberty of the Press, iu a represen tation addressed to the Cortes. The questions of doubt are in general of too technical a nature to afford any interest to the English reader. The second, which gave rise to considerable discus sion, was conceived in these terms Shall authors or editors be obliged to deposit their ma nuscripts in the printing office, or will it be suf ficient that they leave a copy, signed and sealed, in the hands of the responsible person ?—Solu tion (z. e. the opinion of the Committee)—They must leave a printed copy signed and sealed." Senor Iluilariz observed, that this mode was very proper for single works ; but it could not be applicable to,periodical publiCations, as they were written by various persons; and it would be imposSible to attach to each article the signa ture of the writer. Senor Gallant) ( a Member of the Committee) signified that the Committee were willing to adopt this suggestion, and the article was finally adopt ed by the Cortes,. with the amendment proposed by Senor Munariz. In the course of the discussion, a Deputy sta ted that a calumnious article on the subject of the national loan, libelling all the persons who had engaged in it, had appeared in the paper called the Imparcial. It was thought proper to proceed against this libel ; but when the author was called for, a person appeared and took that character upon himself, though he was so ignorant that he was incapable even of reading the article. To this it was answered, that such an attempt at imposition was of no consequence, especially as the law could still find a responsible person. Some debate also took place on the next question, viz.—" Doubt 3. Shall the plaintiffs and defendants be allowed to challenge Judges on the ground of visible par tiality, or hatred, or relationship to parties within the degrees pointed out by the common law ? Solution :—ln such cases the plaintiff or de fendant may challenge, even when the challenges without cause allowed by the law have been made." This article was withdrawn by the Committee, in order that the terms in which it was expressed might be amended. A letter from one of the Secretaries of State was read, in which the Minister informed the Cortes, that his Majesty had yesterday expe rienced an attack of the gout, which confined him to his chamber, but that the pain was that day mitigated. The representation transmitted in August,lB2l, by General Riego from Saragossa, renouncing the pension of 80,000 reals, assigned to him by the former Cortes, was read. Senor Arguelles observed, that this renuncia tion could not be accepted, as the grant was meant to be a testimony of national gratitude. A resolution, conformable to the opinion ex pressed by Arguelles, was unanimously adopted by the Cortes. _ _ _ On the motion of Senor Isturiz, it was also unanimously resolved to approve the report of the War Committee, recommending that the Hymn performed by the column under Riego, on re-establishing the Constitution, should be de clared " the National March." In execution of an extraordinary decree of the Cortes, the National Medical Academy of Bar celona had addressed a report to the Political Chief of Catalonia, on the nature of the epide mic which lately ravaged that part of the penin sula. The opinion of the majority was conform able to that of our physicians. Out of four teim members, eight declared the malady ex otic and contagious. Four gave their opinion in favour of its being indigenous,and not contagious. The votes of two may be regarded as null, on account of the restrictions and uncertainty of their opinions.

At four o'clock, there being but 37 Members present, the SPEAKER adjourned the House until to-morrow (this day). FLINT COUNTY MEETING.—On Wednesday, a meeting was held in Mold, called by the High Sheriff, T. H AR RISOY, Esq. in consequence of a requisition, signed by several highly respectable gentlemen of the county, a copy of which ap peared in ourlast. About three quarters past twelve, the doors of the Town Hall were thrown open, and the hall was immediate ly filled. Amongst the gentlemen present, were Thomas Har rison, Esq. the High Sheriff of the county, Sir E. P. Lloyd, Bart. J. Wynne Eyton, Esq. F. 11. Price, Esq. of Bryne y Pys, Cynrick Lloyd, Esq. T.

Edward Jones Hughes, Esq. Plas Oun, Captain R. Brown, Rev. J. Conway Potter, Thomas Wynne Eyton, Esq. Peter Parry, Coroner, Reverend Mr. Jones, of Ha warden, &c. Sir E. P. Lloyd moved, that the High Sheriff do take the Chair, which being done, a letter was read from the Very Reverend the Dean of St. Asaph, who, we regret to say, was prevented by illness from attending personally, expressive of the approbation of the meeting, of the terms of the Requisition, and stating his sentiments gene rally upon the occasion for which the meeting was called. F. R. Price, Esq. in an able speech, moved the petition, of which we give a copy, and was seconded by Mostyn Edwards, Esq. Sir E. P. Lloyd followed in an eloquent and energetic speech, and moved that the petition which had been read be adopted as the petition of the meeting :—his motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Dr. Wyn ne moved the thanks of the meeting to the High Sheriff, and Sir E. P. Lloyd moved thanks to Mr. Price for the manly manner in which he had brought forward the petition. The petition received numerous signatures in the Hall, and is to be submitted for signature in different parts of the county, and presented on Monday, by the Members for the County and Borough of Flint. Sir E. P. Lloyd said, he should do his utmost to forward the prayer of it.—( Chester Chronicle, April 19.) THE S N . SOLEM QUIS DIOERE FALSU.II .AIUDE.I7' LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1822. We have received an article of intelligence, by the way of Amsterdam, of the utmost import- ante, inasmuch as.it gives a clear explanation of the real state of affairs between RussiA and the PORTE D upon which we think we may place the firmest. reliance, and which at once removes all the obscurity that has so long hung over the ne- gociations of those Powers, and accounts for the extraordinary reserve that appears to govern the conduct of the Austrian Cabinet. We are as- suted that it was the intention of the PoItTE to address a most confidential statement of the difficulties in which the Turkish Government is involved to the Emperor of AUSTRIA, and, to the British 'Ministers. That statement, we have reason to believe, avows the absolute necessity on the part of the Sultan to reject the Ultimatum offered by Russia, as the Turkish army and their leaders are positively determined on war, and that con- sequently an acceptance of the terms offered by Russia would provoke an insurrection and occa- sion the total overthrow of the Turkish Govern- meat. This confidential statement we have fur- tiler reason to believe has been positively submitted to the respective Governments in alliance with Turkey, and to Russia itself ; that, in consequence, Russia has been induced to for her terms, and that the expectation of war has considerably abated. We are further informed that the apprehension that a general insurrection throughout Italy, France, and Ger- many, would probably take place the moment Russia had absolutely involved herself in a Turkish war, has led to these arrangements.— From the source and mannner of the communi- cation which we have received, we are induced to repeat our conviction that it is founded on facts upon which we may implicitly rely. The Foreign Intelligence received since our last from France, Germany, and the North of Europe, though not decisive of the great ques tion at issue between Russia and Turkey, is of a much more warlike character than our accounts of yesterday and the preceding day.—Letters from Hambnrgh continue to speak of the nego ciations between England and Denmark, for the cession of Copenhagen and the Danish Isles to England, in exchange for the Kingdom of Hanover. Letters from Frankfort, confirming this report, mention the alarming sensation produced by it at Berlin, apd pretend that, under the auspices of a Great Power, another arrangement is en lapis, guaranteeing the possession of Hanover to Prus sia, and ceding the ancient French departments on the banks of the Rhine to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. - FRENCH FUNDS.

The American Papers which were brought by the last packet that arrived at Liverpool have not yet been received in town ; but another file of Papers, not later than those we have seen be fore, have arrived, from which we extract the following : The SECRETARY Of STATE to GOVerriOrANDREW JACKSON. Department of State, January 8. 4 ' SIR-I have had the honour of receiving your letter of the 22d November, with its inclo sures. Translations are now transmitted to you, by the directio❑ of the President of the United States, of two letters received from the Minister of Spain, the definitive answer to which will be deferred until I shall have the opportunity of receiving your reply to this letter, with any re marks you may think proper to make on the let ters of the Minister. You will observe that, in that relating to the seizure of the papers at St. Augustine, he dwells with much earnestness on the agreement which had been made between Col.BuT r.rrt and the late Governor COPPINGER concerning these papers. If that agreement was known to you at the time when you issued the order for de manding and securing the papers, you will have the goodness to state the particular grounds on which you judged it necessary to resort to com pulsory measures for obtaining possession of them. I have the honour to be, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. BANK OF THE UNITED STATES.

Among otherarguments for repealing the Statute which excludes Catholic Members from Parlia ment, it has been urged that this Bill having been passed at a time when all England was transported with rage and fear, on account of the supposed Popish Plot, must be considered as the offspring of passion and bigotry, and therefore unfit to exist among a people animated by better feel ings. Nothing, however, is more common in the history of nations, and particularly of our own, than alterations in the law and system of Government, originating in temporary policy or transient zeal, but proving in their results as so lidly and permanently useful as any regulations that could have been devised by the soundest wisdom and most ardent patriotism. If the act in question had been merely a product of the frenzy created by the Popish Plot, we may rea sonably presume that when the machinery of that plot was finally broken to pieces, in the be ginning of JAMES the Second's reign, at which time Parliament shewed an eager desire to retrace many of the steps that had been taken in the mo ment of popular excitation, the Catholic Peer and Commoner would have been re-admitted to their privilege of sitting in the National Council. But their restoration never took place, and it still re mains to be effected after the lapse of a hundred and thirty-seven years from the conviction and punishment of OATES. Parliament, however, was actuated by another fear in passing the Act of the 30th CHARLES 11. ; the dread universally entertained of a Popish heir presumptive ; and no man, we believe, will contend that this dread was not fully justified in the sequel, or that the conduct of the Popish heir did not afford ample ground for rejoicing at any securities which had been provided against Catholic aggression. It will, however, be answered ; allowing the exclusion to have been politic and justifiable during the reign of a Catholic Prince, or even so long as the Protestant Succession was rendered in any degree insecure by the existence of a Popish Family pretending to the Crown, all cause of alarm from that quarter has now vanished, and why, therefore, should the same odious dis abilities continue to be imposed ? We ask, in reply, is a Catholic King the only just object of jealousy to a Protestant nation ? Not only our Monarchs, but the Peers, the Commons, parties and individual leaders in each House, have at various periods enjoyed influence and advanced pretensions inconsistent with the general freedom; and if a bigotted Popish Sovereign has been found so dangerous a foe to British liberty and inde pendence, why may not a majority of the Upper or Lower House, an ambitious Minister, an art ful demagogue, impelled by fanaticism, and de voted to Romish interests, engage with the same fatal determination in schemes destructive of the public tranquillity and hazardous- to the Consti tution We do not only fear the ill effects that would result from turbulence or subtlety in those Ca tholics who might themselves obtain a place in Parliament, but we also think a formidable mis chief would arise from the increased and more concentrated violence of Catholics out of doors, when they saw persons of that religion seated in the two Houses, whom they would naturally look to as their patrons, and as bound in duty to be their faithful agents and interpreters. — Such Members, even if they were themselves dis posed to moderation, and willing to respect those defences which might still remain to the Pro testant establishment, would be subjected to a perpetual and vehement pressure from their im patient fellow-subjects of the Romish persuasion; pressure which the utmost steadiness of character would perhaps be unable wholly to resist; and which, in many instances, would be yielded to from a love of popularity and a deference to the supposed public feeling. And if it is difficult for a Legislator to brave the reproach of being no patriot, how difficult would his part become, when to that reproach was added the imputa tion of being au unfaithful son of the Church ! When the Romish Peers are once admitted into the Upper House, no man living, we sup pose, can doubt that the introduction of Com moners into the Lower will be claimed as a mat ter of course. It would be the height of simpli city to suppose that Mr. CANNING is not awake to this consequence of his proceeding ; nor can we precisely understand why he should have offered his present motion to Parliament, unac companied by that further demand, which all persons, thinking as he does, must consider as its proper and necessary concomitant. In our view of the subject; this forbearance gives the whole measure a sinister and insidious character. We distinctly see that something is in contemplation, ulterior to the step now proposed, and it is na tural to conclude that the projects which remain behind are either too indefinite for present dis closure, or too startling to be revealed at once. The claims of the Catholics are at all times to be viewed with jealousy, but more especially when attempts are made to forward their designs by artifice and manoeuvre. We trust that Mr. PEEL, and those Gentlemen who support him in his patriotic resistance to this fatal scheme of relaxation, will maintain their ground with that vigour and perseverance which become men struggling for the high e st i n t eres t s of their own a n d future generations. If any man is weak enough to think that the conces sion now proposed may safely be allowed, because it is so small, we would refer him to tEsoe's homely fable of the woodcutter, who entered into a forest and besought the trees to furnish him with a small piece of wood to makez handle for his axe. The trees thought it would be illiberal to refuse so small a boon, and the handle was cheerfully given. As soon, however, as the clown had repaired his instrument, he be gan to mark out the fairest and straitest stems, and to lop and hew without remorse. Merito euedimur! we deserve the blow, said the groan ing ancients of the forest as the axe resounded among them. Merit° ettedinthr ! may we too ex claim, if, in consequence of our present remissness, the arm of implacable hostility should one day be raised at fatal advantage against our noblest and most sacred institutions. IRELAND.—The accounts of outrages received this morning are not numerous. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant has recovered from his in disposition. George Walker and Edmond Fitz gerald (the schoolmaster, employed by Captain Rock to write many of his notices) have been executed, the former at Newcastle, and the latter at Shanagolden. We shall insert on Monday a copy of a long and able Memorial, addressed by the Committee of the Ship-owners' Society, new Broad-street, to the Lords' Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations, dated the 15th instant. The Committee, in this valuable address, chew, that though the form of the present Bills in Parliament for altering the Navigation Laws is a satisfactory improvement upon that of the Bill introduced at the close of the last Session, their substance remains the same, and is as objection able and as fatal to the interests of British Ship plug and Commerce, and to the Naval Power of the State, as that of the measure previously pro posed. We shall not anticipate the irrefragable drguments by Is hich the Committee support their opinion. - There is at present a vacancy in the office of Physician to the Middlesex Hospital, but little chance of much contest, as Dr. NtJTTALL, Senior Physician of the General Westminster Dispen sary, is a Candidate, and his own high professional pretensions are backed by such powerful support as to preclude all danger of any strong compe tition. The following extract of a letter, dated Paris, April 15th, was handed about the City yester day. In respect to the person arrested, we hope it will prove to be erroneous :- 44 Mr. BURDEIr, a relative of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, and who has not been in France before for four years, has just been arrested on his arrival in Paris, by the Police, on suspi cion of his having trmsonable papers in his possession."— ( Morning Post.) FUNERAL or SIR NATHANIEL CONANT.—Yes terday morning, at ten o'clock, the mortal remains of Sir NA THANIEL CONANT were removed from his late residence in Portland-place, with ail due ceremony, and were most respect ably attended. The procession moved slowly on, along the New-road, towards Finchley, where, on its arrival, the remains of the deceased were deposited in the family vault. TRIBUTE TO THE LATE C. DIBDIN, Esq.— Thursday evening a party of Gentlemen met at the house of OXBERRY, the Comedian, the Craven's Head, Drury lane, when it was proposed and seconded, that a Monument should be greeted to the memory of CHARLES DIBDIN, Esq. the celebrated Naval song writer. The subject was immedi ately embraced by the Meeting; and resolutions were framed and unanimously agreed to. At an early hour yesterday morning a meeting took place in the fields at the back of the Mont pelier Tavern, Camberwell, between Lieutenant K--, It. N., and Mr. 111'--, a medical stu dent attending the hospitals. On Tuesday the two gentlemen, who were before strangers to each other, met at a card party, given by a mu tual friend in Nelson-square, and the wine hay ing circulated freely, operated as a stimulus to deep play. The Lieutenant was a considerable winner, and at an unguarded moment, Mr. M'-- was so violent as to ascribe his luck to unfair pro ceedings. Some blows were exchanged in the room ; but the parties were separated without much mischief. The challenge originated with the Lieutenant, who was attended to the field by a brother Officer, and Mr. M'-- by his bro ther, who is a respectable surgeon. At the first fire the Lieutenant was struck in the right ann by his adversary's ball, which tore his coat and lacerated the flesh ; but the wound is by no means dangerous. This terminated the matter.
