This measure extends to every be er Province where the same movements may ( ma nifested.—(Quotidienne.) 11,, tn tyu, Apaff. 26.—The Porte, during the u isturbances up to the end of last summer, lt n nifest e d an almost passive character, but at 1 sal ad v i se d b y i ts f r i en d s, i t prepare d d ur i ng to w hiter consid era ble force by land and sea, a , stri ko a decisi ve bl o w. Two laud armies and tic : ° oside ra bl e fleet were to com bi ne t h e i r opera . t to annihil a t e th e i nsurre ction. This well ci; ed plan the Sultan owed to the friendship of Europeans. It was known here two t tos bef ore i ts execut i on , an d our p ro t ec t ors Pl i aud e d beforehand its succtibs. toil ut all this force served only to raise the m ; ra iqe of the Insurgents. The combined fleet 41 : 3 uPfrated and dispersed at Patras, the land 1 3 ° ', 1 1 , 1 " Macedonia was completely defeated the kebru ary , and its commander killed, whilst °ll rsch id Pacha has not been able to leave Janina. i k \ I I I 1 , 4 e insurrection then extended through the P e of Thessaly, and a part of Macedonia. b a 't a later period a Greek squadron disern a"d amm un ition for the Insurgents in the, thY of Litochoron, and the Chief of the Thessa . - r t h roops took a position near Caterine, which of actia of Salonica was unable to force, and l a t e r two defeats was obliged to return to Sa liica. ea/, Ti le Porte has raised a new and dangerous S c ,, ul ,,Y in the person of l‘lolistai, Pacha of d, r a, whom the Sultan has proscribed and t o -ar d out of the law, because he was unable ei, ; !n arch against Ali Pacha. This powerful ti ref has seized the important position of Och. 1 5 which commands Bitolia. I'e following are some details respecting sta, the ' e of affairs in Epirus : C hoursehid Paella has made two appeals to the Albanians, Zable of bearing arms, to march against the rebel Rayas and ex ecrable Illuscoz,ites, the first ?hovers of the rebellion. The Albanians have replied that they, cannot abandon their own "lultry . tiOr, S4 Th omas Maitland, who, notwithstanding his dedara tio44,,- of entraiity favours directly and openly all the opera 'lronof the Turks , has found means to send off the Greek squa whicb':ll"er the pretext of their conduct at Santa Maura, but er e , I _ l B deni e d by the Greeks. It is more strange still, how itito':,,uat the flag - of truce sent by the Greek Navaret to enter b y S n .".„ e x,Planation with the lonian Government was detained a nd Thom as Maitland, in violation of the rights of nations, 1 ,_• 1 sent back long afterwards without an answer. I , - Le Greek squadron, however, having disappeared, C iour offstheracha renewed his appeal to the alliances, who now threw is ad , 'flask, and demanded payment of arrears, and payment ti ‘ et a jlee. The Albanian Chiefs, much to their honour, have tha e t — "lled to resist the order for massacring the Christians in i e ; Province sent by the Porte to Chourschid Pacha, and the te ll ',, " ,Paramythia has declared, that if the head of an Irmo -14; ;,1 1 ristian falls, he will join the Souliotes against the Turks. .4 ne Albanians are, doubtless, not civilised, but what a ( 1 6, 41 g difference between their sentiments , and those . of the 411 ‘,. of the Turkish nation, whom the English Ministry in v,b .

The death of 4 e Chief appears to have given birth to discord I t'ogst the Members of the Divan. p e g Ile whole of Albania, the Souliotes, and se th:4l tribes of Pindus, are vigorously opposed to 4 Turks, no t b e i ng w illi ng to r ecognise the p ur ity of the Sultan.

We received the Paris Papers of Wednesday this morning, and subjoin a translation of the last Note of the Porte to the English Ambas sador and the Austrian Internuncio from the Journal des INbats. It will be seen that this Note is in substance, as we before stated, only a repetition of the Note of the 28th February, di vested of its offensive expressions against the Emperor of RUSSIA ; but i❑ reality it does not place the relations between Turkey and Russia on a more pacific footing than they were at the close of February. The Porte does not grant a single concession, and repeats its de- termination to persevere in its present ob noxious conduct until tranquillity shall be re established : but as it is obvious enough that tranquillity cannot be restored in the East of Europe without the extermination of the Greek nation, is it to be imagined that the Powers,of Europe will become passive spectators of the atrocities, to which the prosecution of that measure must give birth ? Our opinion on this point is well known, and a few days will decide the question. " ODESSA, MAY 5.—( Extract of a Private Letter.)—sire have just received from Constantinople the following docu- ment:-- "'Translation of the Note of the Sublime Porte, transmitted to the Ambassador of England and the Austrian Inter nuncio, the 26th Kedjel, 1237, (18th April, 1822). " The constant care which the Sublime Porte has always employed for the maintenance of concord with Russia. and the preservation of general peace, are too well known not to render superfluous every declaration on this subject, it has already given evident proofs of its scruples in respecting the engage ments which it contracted with its true friends. It renews in the present the assurances which it gave in the preceding Note (that of the 28th February), relatively to the affairs of the two principalities, that is to say, that it repeats now what it has al ready said, that it is firmly resolved to respect every engage ment which it formerly contracted, as soon as tranquillity shall be re-established (which will take place shortly, as it hopes), and that it has not ceased to occupy itself with the means which are the most proper for the accomplishment of its pro mises. " With the view of shewing to all Europe the religious scruples, the sincere desires of the Sublime Porte to execute the Treaties, it has already taken the necessary r-leasures for the re-establishment of tranquillity in the two principalities; but some interior troubles do not permit the development at this moment of the nature of these 'measures. However it declares officially to friendly and well-disposed powers, that it has really commenced putting them in execution, and that it will not cease holding this course, in which it will direct itself accord. 3 10 ---- COM retails telY t°' arChe to d hrer, rran3- are e% : lOrrO W• a,rrive a el la g ?

" As to what concerns the outrages exercised towards the in.. habitants of the two Principalities, the Sublime Porte has never been accessary to them, and the effect of the orders which it has never ceased to issue on this subject has always been seen. These orders, sent to the Commandants of the troops of Mol davia and Wallachia, have been renewed in the most precise manner.

Dostr.sTic NEWS.—Mr. CLAY is spoken of as the United States Ambassador to Mexico, and Mr. POINSETT to Chili, Buenos Ayres, or Peru. The Russian Northwest Coast Company is said to be in a very flourishing condition, and to have converted more than 10,000 savages to Christianity. The ports in the district of Maine expect to be considerably benefited by a trade to the British W est Indies. [From a late Boston Paper.] If England is negociating for the command of the passage of the Baltic to operate in the interests and power of ..kussia—if she should dare to go to war with Turkey, it may be expected the proceeding will irritate the placid ALEXANDER, and may not be agreeable to other powers who have frequent commer cial intercourse with the ports of the Baltic. ( From the Nero England Coffee-House. ) Hobart ?awn and Van Dieman's Advertisers arrived this morning to the `?9th of December. [From the Advertiser of the 15th December.] On Tuesday last the detachment of troops, with the stores, artificers, and convicts, destined to form the New Establish ment at Macquarie Harbour, were embarked on board his Ma jesty's Colonial brig Prince Leopold and the hired brig Sophia, the whole being under the direction of Lieutenant Cu TUBE nu. - sox, of the 48th Regiment, Commandant, who is accompanied by Mr. EVANS, Deputy Surveyor-General.—Assistant-Sur geon SPENCE is attached to the New Settlement. On Wed nesday, the two vessels sailed with a fair wind. The cultivation and population of the Settlements in Van Dieman's Land are both greatly increased since last year. The cultivation is 14,940 acres (exclusive of gardens), of which are 12,966 in wheat. Our population is about 7,400; horned cattle, 35,000 ; sheep, 170,000 ; horses, 550 ; and swine, 5000. We omitted to report in our last Gazette the departure from this port for Sydney, on Sunday morning, of the ship Mariner and the ship Nearchus. The Britton, Capt. Lt; RK, will sail to-morrow for England, as will also the Amboyna for Port Jackson. A fine large punt has lately been commenced, plying across the 'River at New Norfolk. An Agricultural Association is going to be formed similar to that established in the Mother Country. Mr. SC tRLETT 7 S Poor Removal Bill, the fa vourite offspring of his Parliamentary life, was last night thrown out by the House of Commons. We deem it unnecessary, therefore, to enter into so minute an examination of the propositions of the Hon. and Learned Member, as might have been proper if this, the first of his series of measures for abolishing the Poor Laws, had been favourably received by the House. We believe that we may safely congratulate the country on the defeat of one of the most mischievous innovations upon its system of domestic eco nomy that has been attempted in modern times. The Poor Laws, as at present framed and administered, are doubtless very insufficient for effecting all the purposes of their establishment. Still though they have not pro duced all the good that might be made to re sult from a better system, and though much of evil and inconvenience has continued to grow up with and in spite of their operation, yet they have preserved the country from much more serious inconveniences than those to which it has actually been subject ; and we have no hesitation in stating it as our opinion, that they have been one of the main props of our pro sperity and power.—lt is extraordinary to find Mr. SCARLETT proposing to give a freer circula tion to labour, on the ground that if the labourers were permitted to seek employment without re straint throughout all parts of the kingdom, they would be enabled to find work and to subsist themselves, instead of being burthensome to their parishes !—ls it not a fact that every parish in England abounds with unemployed poor? Suppos ing the poor, therefore, to have unlimited freedom of loco-motion, in what parish or parishes does Mr. SCARLETT imagine that the migratory poor of any one part of the country would be likely to find work ? It would be impossible for one parish to give employment to the emigrants from another, without first depriving an equal number of indus trious families of that work which is now afforded to them. CITY, FUMY EVENING. Very little business has been done in the British Funds. I Consols for the July account opened at 80.1 and remained ex tremely steady till towards the close of the market, when they declined a little, and the final price was 80k. A Dutch Mail has arrived, but too late for the delivery of letters this day. A report, however, was circulated, that the Russians had crossed the Pruth and entered Moldavia; and, though this runiour could not be traced to any authentic source, still its probability threw a great damp over the market during the remainder of the day. Ex cepting in the New Chili Loan, not Much business has been done in Foreign Securities. There has been a farther advance in this loan, which opened si 74§, rose at one time to 78, but closed dull at a shade under 76. Old Colombian Bonds continue to be quoted at 100„ Six per Cent. Bonds at 84, and the Scrip at 85. The Prussian Fives are 861 and the Danish 85. In Spanish Securities there was a good deal of bustle, and their value has declined. The Old Fives at one time fell to 60, but afterwards rallied and rose to 601 61, and in the new, transactions were done at 604 61 62 611. The new Russian Loan is not so much inquired after as it was yesterday. At the closing of the market it was held at 831, but found no higher purchasers than 83.—During the week colonial produce has been extremely dull. Notwithstanding the detention of the China ships, coffees cannot be disposed of at their late prices, and 2 to 3 a cwt. must be accepted of to effect sales. Su gars are almost as dull as possible, and must also be quoted 2s. cheaper. In rum and foreign spirits no business of any consequence can be done. So little trade is transacted on the Royal Exchange, compared with its former pro sperity, that it is generally now called the Press Yard, as deale.., in bonds seem to be its only active members.— At the Corn Exchange there is no great arrival of any kind of grain. The very favourable weather, however, joined to the universal appearance of an early and most abundant crop, causes great dulness in the Corn Trade. The finest samples of wheat do not maintain their late prices, and every other de scription is fully 2s. lower, and nearly unsaleable at this de cline. Consumers are plentifully supplied with barley, and this article is very dull, and also one shilling cheaper. In oats there is not any alteration since Monday. In consequence of the intended reduction in the duty on salt, there was this day a meeting of the Importers of Baiilla, who hold about 6,000 tons of this article, and which must be nearly a total loss to them, unless the import duty . be repealed. As it has been imported under the faith of existing laws, it is just that the duty on the quantity now in the country should be returned to the proprietors ; but how far the duty on future importations should be repealed, is questionable. The meeting appointed a respectable deputation to lay their complaints before the Mini ster of Finance.—(Morning Chronicle) Yesterday morning, at half-past eleven o'clock, the KING left town in his travelling carriage for Kew, where his MAJESTY spent the day. On Thursday the Duke of YORE transacted military business with the limo. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

DnEss.---The gown is composed of a new and very beautiful white transparent material : it is worn over a white satin slip, and is finished at the bottom of the skirt by a trim ming, which may be styled a net-work of puffs ; they are com posed of tulle, crossed with pink gimp, and divided by moss rose-buds. The trimming consists of three rows.

The corsage is tight to the shape ; the waist is rather more than the usual length, and the bust is cut low : it is rounded in front, and ornamented at top with a wreath embroidered in blue silk.—( Ackermann's Repository.) Thursday the Duke of GLOUCESTER, at tended by his Aide-de-Camp, visited Westmin ster Abbey, to inspect the alterations, improve ments, and repairs which have lately taken place, and also the situation which is set apart for the cenotaph to be placed of her late Royal High ness the Princess CHARLOTTE. THE THEATRE.—A piece, entitled The Pea sant Bog, was revived at Drury-lane Theatre last night, and considering the beautiful weather, and the attraction of rival entertainments at the Opera House, the Hanover-square and the Argyll Rooms, was tolerably well attended. It was supported by the strength of the company, par ticularly COOPER, POPE, Madame VESTRIS, Miss POVEY, Mrs. BLAND, Mrs. KNIGHT, and the last musical acquisition, Miss FORD; who, in propor tion as she acquires more self-possession, displays more ability. A song, in the second act, " A wreath I'll twine," is very creditable to Mr. ROOK; the composer, and was well executed by Miss FORD; and so were indeed the others allotted to her in the piece, which altogether was sufficiently successful. lIANo vEn-SQu A RE.—M r. BELLAMY'S Annual Concert took place last night in these rooms. — Ile provided a rich musical banquet for his friends on this occasion, and we were glad to see it well attended. We have not room to detail the particulars. Madame CAMPORESE, Miss STE PHENS, Miss VENES,MeSSFS.VAUGHAN,KNYVETT, HAWES and BELLAMY were the chief vocal per formers. Miss STEPHENS was encored in " Bid me discourse," one of the most pleasing and original compositions of BISHOP. A duo con certante for the harp and flute gave scope to the powers of Miss SHARP and NICHOLSON. BEL LAMY'S scientific taste and manly voice appeared to great advantage, and the whole received the warm applause of a numerous and elegant company. The Countess of JERSEY lost a diamond cross, worth at least 10001. as she was returning from the fete at the Opera House on Thursday night,—but the loss took place, we understand, after her Ladyship had left her carriage, in Berke ley-square ; so that the crowd outside the theatre are not an swerable for the loss. The remains of the late Countess FJTZWILLIAM were interred in the family vault at Marbulra on Thursday the 23d ult. in as private a manner as possible.

CHINESE.., The various Edicts iss Canton on this subject b iced by the Governor of lore date as follow : Ist - 25th December 1821. 4th - lith January • 1822: 2d - 31st. sth - 16th. 3d - sth January 1822. 6th -22 d. In our Paper of Wednesday, we gave the substance of the Edict of the 22d (erroneously called the 18th) of January.; we now proceed to lay before our readers the whole of the Edict issued on the 16th :-- " Yu tx, Governor of Canton, &c. " Hereby issues an Order to die Hong Merchants, requiring them to make themselves fully acquainted therewith. " Concerning the ease of the foreigners, belongin3 to the English Richardson's ship of war, having killed natives, I, the Governor, commanded the Hong merchants to enjoin my com mands on the said nation's Chief to order the delivering up of the foreign murderers for prosecution. In consequence of their, delaying to deliver them up, I next shut the hatches (interdict ed trading) to operate as a warning. These proceedings were all agreeabb. to repeated precedents and former regulations (er laws). "Further, 1 have repeatedly, over and over rgain, issued clear and explicit Edicts on the subject, which are on record. "After this, the Chief and the others retired to the ships.. On examining into the occurrence, the appearances seemed true and real ; and I, the Governor, compassionately considered how these foreign merchants were all irophcated by the man of war, and forthwith allowed the trade to be opened, and that they should return to the factories and do business; but how the murderous foreigners who killed the men were to be forth coming, was still made necessary for the said Chief and the others to state to me distinctly and truly, before the Hong . Merchants were allowed to present lists of goods to pay the du ties. The Hong Merchants have now declared to me verbally ~ , that the Chief and the others had again presented a statement., On questioning them as to its contents, whether or not my orders•had been obeyed in the reply contained in this paper, the. Hong Merchants answered, that they did not know; they merely said, that still the Chief and the other had declared to them verbally the same as before, that they could not exercise control , in this matter. Therefore 1, the Governor, would not take the • statement sent, nor break it open, but ordered the Hong Mer-, chants to take it back and open it themselves, and see whether the said Chief had obeyed the former order, and stated in what • manner the foreign murderers were to be forthcoming and de livered up, and declare the same perspicuously; and then all the • Hong Merchants might send in goods to pay the duties and ship them ; but if still they (the Committee) gazed and stared about, and floated hither and thither, it would still be necessary to prohibit the shipping of goods. " Uniting these things, 1 again commanded the Hong Mer-. chants to go immediately and enjoin my commends on the Chief and the others; saying, that 1, the Governor, permitted the opening of the trade, in consideration of the great distance these foreign merchants come to Canton ; and I could not bear the thought that they should be implicated because of the man of war, and that country lose such great wins. But since fo reigners of that nation have killed men, it is absolutely neces sary that a life should be paid as the penalty. How can the Chief and the Committee place themselves outside the con cern ? " Since the said Chief and the others will not utter the word, in obedience to my orders, and say, in an official document, how thosaid foreign murderers are to be forthcoming (or placed in security) now, and afterwards delivered up, it shews that the said Chief and the Committee are not in the least pressed by the business, but voluntarily renounce the commerce, and are self determined to cross the ocean with empty ships. " And I, the Governor, will not by force detain them ; but it is by no means the Iloppo's office that has ordered them away out of the port, and therefore it cannot give them permits (or port clearances). " It is perfectly optional with all the said ships to set sail and go out at the Bocca. I have already given orders to all the forts on the passage, that on this occasion there is no necessity to fire at or intercept these merchant ships. " The Celestial Empire exercises perfect good faith towards men, and it is quite out of the question to attack those mei., chant ships, after giving them permission to go. There is na occasion for suspicion or doubt on this subject. This is a vo luntary act of the said merchants, who themselves desire to set sail : It is not I, the Governor, who have ordered them to re turn home with empty ships; nor will I by force prevent them from going again to their country. "As to the goods and debts left at Canton, the proverb ap plies,—" he who kills a man must pay for it with his life ; and he who owes a debt must pay for it with his money :"—there is no occasion for anxiety about them. " I, the Governor, have on this occasion shewn pity and com passion to these persons from remote parts, and indeed have carried benevolence to the extreme limits, and justice to the ut most possible degree. These acts have been piled up, one upon another, and the reasonableness of my conduct is sufficient in a ten thousandth degree. In the whole province, both the officers of Government and the people know this to be the case. " The Chief therefore and his Colleagues may forthwith ask the Naval Officer how the foreign murderers are to be forth coming, and let the statement to me pass through the Chief and the Committee. 16 If the said Chief will write an official document, and de. liver it to the Hong Merchants in order to lay before me, let the Hong Merchants immediately, in the presence of the Chief and Committee, open the document; and if in obedience to my orders it contains a clear declaration concerning the delivering up of the foreign murderers, let the said Hong Merchants at the same time present a list of goods to be examined, the duties paid, and the goods shipped. 4 This opening of the document is to be considered as done by order . of me the Governor, and not as a private act of the Bong ➢terchants. But if still no decisive language be used (on this subject of delivering up the men), and the Chief and the Committee with the Naval Captain cannot forthwith communicate to site in language which may be uttered in the presence of heaven and the sun, then let the Hong Merchants immediately throw . back the document ; there is no occasion to present it to me, and thus uselessly labour in going backwards and forwards ; and the delay of hours and days will be prevented. " And on this subject the Hong Merchants need not further urge nor make inquiries of the said Chief and his colleagues. " A SPECIAL EDICT. " TAOW KwANG. " 12th Moon, 24th day (16th Jan. 1822.)"

MONTHLY REPORT FOR MAY.—The appear ance of the rrops throughout the country is ge nerally prOmising ; and although the wheats, from the nature of the season, have suffered hi colour, and in many parts by loss , of. plant, N favourable summer and harvest may yet produce an abundant crop. The wheats upon cold, in sound land, which had in course suffered most, are visibly recovering strength and colour. The fal. lows and lands for the spring crops have been work, ed with much labour and difficulty . ; but the crops are sufficiently forward, and wear a•healthy and thriving appearance. Potatoes have planted well. All the green crops are of good promise, and it has proved a most abundant season for tares. The hay harvest will probably be early, The vast quantity of grass this spring has produced a me, morable abundance of milk in the metropolis, and a general reduction in the price of milk and butter. In Kent and Sussex great complaints are made of the weak and blighted state of the hops. The appearance of the fly is general, and the hedges and fruit trees are covered with the webs and nidus of insects. In the inland counties hop plantations appear more healthy. The bark harvest is nearly and successfully finished, but the fall of oaks has not been so considerable ns in former years, :, & of De- d- 15 3 13 6 ---- ,1 9 -, rri an , a he or o ntri :;e /• l' Ps' I , '` ~' ;;~
