Ste,— Your Corn Exchange Correspondents are a couple of —, and whilst in your able and admirable leading articles you are advocating the best interests of the farmer, you are permitting these corn-jAbing to make use of your columns from day to day, and from week to week, to circulate the most villain, ously false accounts of the harvest and of the state of the markets. There was a fall of 2s. on the price of wheat in the market yesterday. So we were told by all the papers except the Standard, which not only blinks that matter altogether, but its correspondents have the unblushing impudence to proclaim that only a small portion of the harvest has been se cured. The report of yesterday is, however, in the same fraudulent spirit as all their preceding reports: for weeks past, every fall in the market has either been grossly misrepresented or passed over altogether. For the truth of what I say I entreat you to turn over your co lumns for the last four or five weeks, and I am persuaded you will at once be convinced of the fact, that your pa per has been the chief instrument by which the corn- ' jobbers have succeeded in bringing down the duty. You may probably say that the report of your journal could not produce that effect, as the other papers give a different and true account ; but on reflection you will see that the fact of the Standard being a farmer's paper gives great strength to your reports, because people say, " 0 ! if this were not. correct it would not appear in this paper, which is so eloquent in defending the interests of the farmer." The course pursued by your Journal in thus lending itself to the conspirators against the English agricultu rist has, I assure you, surprised and astonished all dis interested persons, and very injurious imputations are thrown nut, one of which is, that the proprietors of the Standard arc themselves corn jobbers, and that they have an interest in supporting opinions which are at variance with those entertained by the editor of the paper. No doubt that is a false and unjust imputation ; but how can the thing be accounted for ? I once more entreat. that you will turn to the reports for the last three or four weeks, and compare them with those of the other papers. Even the Morning Chro nicle ha not dared to misrepresent the state of things as your Journal has done. A slight examination will convince you that the Standard has been all along made a tool of by the dealers in grain at the very time when you were proclaiming those dealers to be swindlers. A FARMER'S SON. JOHN THOROGOOD. (From the Cambridge Independent Press of Aug. 29.) Some parties in this town having made a subscription for Mr. Thorogood, the amount collected was transmit ted to him ; and last week the following letter was re ceived in reply, by the gentleman who was deputed to express the sympathy of the subscribers : " Chelmsford Gaol, Aug, 18, 1840. " DEAR SIR—By the hands of Mr. Johns I have re ceived your kind letter, with its ioclosure, for both of which I beg to thank you, as well as the numerous friends who have taken this mode of expressing their sympathy. • The sympathy of good men, of which I hate re ceived so much, since I have been the object of the ten der metei :f an Established Church, next to the clear convictioes of my own conscience, has been my greatest support ; and the daily manifestations which I receive, since Lord John Russell's legislation, as amended by his Grace of Wellington, became law, is very remark able. You will necessarily observe, in all that passed on the subject, how extremely ignorant are those esteemed great, to whom the making of laws is in trusted, on subjects affecting the conscience. Lord John Russell brought in a Bill, by which sentence of twelve months' imprisonment was inflicted on any conscientious man who should refuse payment of a Church-rate, though it were only 6d., (under 51.), —and the Attorney-Gene ral said my imprisonment had been too long, for if the debts had been 201. a twelvemonth's imprison mens would have satisfied the debt,—while Mr. Baines. who is by some considered as a kind of representative of Dissenters, said be thought the punishment had been equal to the delinquency. When Dissenters can be found, who will call resistance to idolatry and irreli gion by such a term as • delinquency,' there will be no wonder at the conduct which followed, when the Bill got into the House of Lords. For myself, Sir, you can easily believe me, when I say that I am convinced the aristocracy are at the hottom of all this persecu tion, and that the parsons are willing tools in their hands to carry it on ; for, as it was well stated lately, by my kind friend Mr. Asburst, in a letter to Mr. Greg, the Member for Manchester, the fee-simple of the Church is in the aristocracy, the clergy have only • a life in terest,' and the former are using these tools on all occa sions, to sustain their right to a tenth of the growth of the kingdom, in addition to the patronage of the army, the navy, and all the other plundur of which Downing street is the centre. Hems. I was net surprised to see , such man as Lord klyieigh, or Lord Dsvon, take the course they did on the late occasion ; but that the Duke of Wellington, the old soldier, should have descended from his elevated position, that of the wan of the age,' to venture small wit, by calling me, in derision, TUE GENTLEMAY,' for the purpose of raising a poor laugh at my expense, and taking upon himself the character, at once, of a jester and oppressor, did, I confess, surprise me beyond measure. " I was a soldier myself once, and even then, when I had no sense of my state as a sinner, I can now say that I should have felt repugnance to lend myself to unprincipled men, for the purpose of crushing those who were oppressed ; and can tell the Duke of Welling ton that, although by the aid of foreign powers he con quered at Waterloo, and thus got the title of The Great Captain,' yet, I trust, the Captain I serve will be found stronger than he, for He is the King of kings, and Lord of lords, and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful: " I hope, S;r, the true friends of religious liberty will look at this last piece of legislation on the subject of Church-rates. Lord John Russell would imprison a man, of tender conscience, twelve months, for a six penny rate. They hive al! shown that they regard the oath as nothing ;# the Duke, like the parsons, and their inquisition—the Ecclesiastical Courts—would imprison for ever ; for the Bill, ai he made it, and Lord John accepted it, imprisons, for six months, a man who refuses to pay, and then confines him still until he pays .f The higher classes are constantly demanding tbat respect should be paid them ; and this Church which keeps me here instructs the poor to behave themselves lowly and reverently to all their betters ; 1 and these self-styled • betters' insultingly tell the man who refuses to aid by his money the instruction of the people in such idolatry as the otiose, that if he does not pay he shall be subject to perpetual imprisonment. I tell you, Sir, that I would rather die in this damp prison than that any friend of mine should pay one penny towards the rate or expenses for which I have suffered so long ; and I hope you will use all your influence to caussi this principle to be acted upon in your own district. If the Dissenters are faithful to their principles, they have nothing to fear ; let them not fear those who can kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do ; but let them fear Him who bath power to cast into bell, and who ssid, without equivocation,' My kingdom is not of this world.' " The petition, and the names of sixty-one persons who signed it, for my perpetual imprisonment, is about to ba , published, when it will he seen what tools the Church uses to do her dirty work, when she is an ex tremity. t " With many thanks for the kind manner in which you have conveyed the sympathy of the gentlemen who joined you in the subscription, " I am, dear Sir, faithfully yours, "JOHN THOROGOOD." * Mr. Gepp said at the late publ►c meeting, that no one would be more happy than himself to see me released ; yet when a Bill passed the Commons which would hove released me, he used all his energy to prevent it from passing in the House of Lords. Surely neither he nor the friends of the Church will now sry I am is prison fur contempt, and not fo' the Rate. The 80, as amended by the skill of the Great Captain, makes it entirely a money transaction; it removes the contempt of the Court, on which so much stress has been laid by Dr. Lthhington, the Judge of the Court, and Churchmen gvnerally : yet now, al-hough the writ "de contumace capiendo," words which I am told mean " take him for contempt," and by virtue of which I was arre•rtad, contains no mention whatever of money. I am still held in prison under the alleged plea that it was for non-payment. It cannot be for contempt of the authority of the Christian Court, now that the oath is abolished ; so for the present I leave the subject to the consideration of the friends of religious liberty. They may see the value which ought to be attached to the professions and pretensions of such persons as the Churchwardens of Chelmsford. t Ono thing is certain, it will by no fi iend of mine who will ever pay one farthing; and as to the sixty-one friends of Mr. Gepp, who were got to petition the House of Lords for my confinement until death, it may be sufficient to say tha' the town of Chelmsford contains 6,000 inhabitants, and 1,100 rate-payers And it may be imagUied that the sixty one persons, who had a stomach for perpetual imprison ment, were not the most reputable or religious people in the parish. As, however, my friends have got a copy of the petition and names attached from the office in the House of Lord-, and they will be separately published with proper descriptions, I need not refer to them here.—J.

STRIKE OF THE OPERATIVES. (From the itioniteur Parisien of Thursday Night.) In the course of Wednesday numerous attempts were made to seduce the workmen employed by M. Pifret, the engineer, in the Avenue Parmentier, to leave their work ; but they refused till five in the after. noon; when about 500 or 600 of the dissatisfied work. men made an invasion upon the premises, and at las: succeeded in enticing or forcing them away. Three . . sergens-de-vine, who - endeavoured to oppose the irrup tion, were thrown down, trampled under foot, and stabbed with knives and poignards. One of them was mortally wounded, and the two others very seriously injured. From an early hour yesterday morning, a great number of workmen were seen proceeding to wards the Plain of Pantin, where it was intended to hold a large meeting. By the middle of the day an immense number had assembled, variously estimated at from 10,000 to 20,000, but the former number was probably nearest the truth. Every precaution was taken by the police authorities to disperse the as semblage, and finding that their repeated summonses were unattended to, they were at length obliged to direct a charge to be made on the assembled multitude by the mounted Municipal Guards and cavalry, who were io readiness to act if repired, by which about a dozen were wounded, and a good number arrested. All the posts at the barriers in that neighbourhood were considerably strengthened, and a strong party of the National Guard of La Villette were assembled at the Mairie in case of need. (From the Gazette des Tribunaux of Friday.) The assemblages of the working classes were yester day still more numerous and threatening than on the three preceding days. From five o'clock in the morn ing, at the most opposite extremities of Paris, at Vaugirard, Pantin, Saint Maudi, and at the slaughter house of Menilmoutant, thousands of individuals be longing to different trades were congregating, surround ing those who may be considered as the leaders of those culpable coalitions, listening to those who harangued by turns, and manifesting a degree of excitement from which no reasonable result can be anticipated. At the same time a column of from one thousand to twelve hundred smiths and wheelwrights bad betaken itself to the workshops of the different yards of diliciences and other public carriages, in order to be satisfied that all labour was suspended. Tne terracemakers, who were constructing a talus at the extremity of the Champs Elysees. near the triumphal arch, were compelled to leave off work, and a considerable number of sawyers and carpenters having reached the Orleans railroad, pre. vented the works from being carried on, and replied by insults and threats to the representations that were made to them by a justice of the peace, whose authority they questioned, though he was accompanied by police agents and invested with the insignia of his functions. At the same time the cotton weavers were simul taneously leaving at the Faubourg Saint Antoine, the manufactories in which they had had work up to the present day, and wages which were deemed suffi cient. A meeting of seven or eight hundred of those weavers, investing successively the establishments of MM. Herelle, Esse de Picpus, Jules Gobert and Gobert, sine, Rue de Charonne, compelled the wo.k• men to strike for the purpose of joining them. The seasonable arrival of the Commissary of Police of the quarter, M. Jacquemin, who was accompanied by 30 Municipal Guards, prevented them from resorting to any violence, and was sufficient to cause them to evacu ate the Faubourg, and to disperse in another direction. But a more serious incident was brewing, of which the Quartier des Quinze Vingt was to be shortly the scene of action. A gun-maker's manufactory, belong• ing to the Sieur Pihet, and situated Avenue Parmen tier, No. 3, was suddenly invaded by three or four hun dred workmen, whose language and attitude evinced threatening intentions. The Commissary of Police, M. Thomond, being apprised thereof•, and fearing, no doubt, that as they entered under the pretext or with the view of compelling the Sieur Pihet's workmen to strike, the rioters would take possession of all the ready made arms in the establishment, proceeded there with all possible speed, accompanied by three Police Ser geants, Signol, Petit, and Mazy. The gates of the manufactory were open ; the Com missary of Police and the three agents penetrated therein, but they bad hardly entered when they were surrounded and assailed by a furious mob. The Com missary of Police, who imprudently had not come ac companied by a body of about sixty Municipal Guards who were in reserve at the slaughter-house near at hand, left in order to require their assistance for the purpose of extricating the sergens de ville. But though his ab sence was but of short duration, and the Municipal Guards arrived with all possible speed, they were not in time to prevent the sergens de ville from being the objects of the most atrocious outrage. Signol, an old soldier, and the father of five children, was the first who was assailed by the infuriated mob, who almost all at once stabbed him in three places with a poignard knife, which, entering his breast, caused large and deep wounds. Petit was almost as soon stabbed four times with a Lite, two of winch penetrated to his entrails, whilst the others were inflicted between the sixth and seventh ribs of the right side. Mazy, who was struck the last, re ceived less serious wounds, but ail three of them, when once on the ground, and weltering in their blood, were exposed to those atrocious brutalities which invariably signalise popular commotion. It is thus that Signol, Petit, and Mazy were a prey to the most incredible cruelty ; they were kicked about the body and head with the heels of the boots, and when the commissary of police and on armed force came to rescue them from those inhuman wretches they barely showed symptoms of life. Let us hasten to announce that there are hopes of saving the lift of Mazy, who has been conveyed to the Hospital of St. Louis. Signol, who had been carried to the said hospital, died from his wounds. With respect to Petit, who is at the Hospital of St. Antoine, notwithstanding the very serious nature of his wounds, there still remains a shadow of hope of saving hint. Numerous arrests have been effected. One hun dred and forty weavers and spinners are at the Prefec ture of Police : other workmen belonging to different branches of trade, who have also joined the coalition, are in the hands of the authories. Several have been re cognised as having undergone various punishments either for misdemeanours or crimes. The following circumstance deserves to be men tioned. Upon several of the individuals who were ar rested in those deplorable riots there was found sums of money which, from their amount, corresponded but little with their appearance, and with the rate of wages they had been receiving. Some had as much as 120 francs each, part of which was in gold. There were also found at the lodgings of some of those who had taken a prominent part in the disturbances, anti who were arrested at home, tickets for provisions to be given to workmen who are seduced away from their work. Of the workmen who assembled at Pantin, some, when dispersed, returned to Paris by Romainville, Bagnolet, and Menilmoutant. Others went to Bondy, hut the greater number returned by a circuitous route. Some, who were obstinate, and would not retire, but made a show of resistance to the cavalry, received some blows from the flat of the sword. We understand that the Minister of Justice has given orders for the proceedings against the offenders who are in custody to be so expe dited that they may be brought to trial without delay. (From the Droll.) A considerable assemblage of workmen took place yesterday near Saint Ouen, and a raiment of cavalry was sent out against them. According to one of the letters of convocation which was seized, it appears that they intended to visit the workshops of the railways, in order to compel the workmen employed there to join them ; but, we are informed, that, to prevent riot, these workshops had been closed and all labour sus pended. In the evening of yesterday meetings were held on the Boulevard Saint Denis and the adjrAning street's. Numerous horse and foot patrols of the Municipal Guard were on the spot, and several persons were arrested. It was found necessary to make the legal sominutions before the workmen would disperse. Deputations from different branches of the operatives of Lyons arrived in Paris on Wednesday. They say that they are not come to join the workmen of Paris, and make protests in the streets ; but it is said that they are charged by their comrades at Lyons to demand that each branch of trade may be represented in the Cham ber by a Deputy. The Board of master carpenters • (Chanibre des Menuis,ers) have published a declaration, stating that the demands presented in an anonymous paper circulated by the journeymen carpenters of Paris does not appear to have emanated from the majority, but from a small minority of the workmen ; that the majority of the workmen deplore the disorders excited by a few agitators, and that the general assembly of master carpenters feel that they have no authority to interdict the practice of marchandage, which, what ever defects it may have, cannot be abolished with out attacking the principle of the liberty of trade. They add, that they cannot fix the price of day labour without violating the law against combination, and also attacking the same principle of freedom ; and conclude by inviting all master carpenters, conformably with the wishes of the majority of the workmen, to keep their workshops open as heretofore. (From Galignani.) From an early hour yesterday morning a great number of workmen were seen proceeding towards the Piain of Pantin, where it was intended to hold a large meeting. By the middle of the day an immense number had assembled, variously estimated at from 10,000 to 20,000, but the former number Was pruhably nearest the truth, Every precaution wes taken by the police authorities to disperse the assemblage, and finding that their repeated summonses were unattended to, they were at length obliged to direct a charge to be made on the assembled multitude by the mounted Municipal Guards and cavalry, who were in readiness to act if required, by which about a dozen were wounded, and a good number arrested. All the posts at the barriers in that peighbourhood were considerably streogtheoeo, strong party of the Natioa'al Puat'cl of La Tillette were assembled at the M.irie in case of need. During the afteroooo the Faubourfs St, Martin, St. Denis, and the neighbouring thoroughfares were thickly carded with an avis from the Prefect of Police, which will be found below. The Wowing, notice from the Prefect of Police was posted up yesterday throughout Paris : " For several days the workmen of different trades have assembled in great numbers in public places, to deliberate among themselv es on conditions they wish to impose upon the builders or chiefs of various establish ments in trade. They have attempted to seduce, and even to constrain by violence, such of their comrades as were unwilling to join their coalitions. The Pre fect of Police feels it to be his duty to remind them that these meetings are contrary to order and injurious to their own interests, as they have for their objects acts and deliberations punishable by the laws, and may lead them into serious offences, and sometimes into actual crimes. The Prefect of Police again further reminds them that every conven tion between master and workmen ought to he founded on mutually free assent ; that no workman has a right to contract for another, nor impose upon him terms on which he is to work. The right of every one, main tained by the law, is to treat for himself alone. The workmen may be assured that in such assemblages and deliberations in common the influence of bad men pre dominates over those who are sensible and industrious, and that the good are always the dupes of those who are either debauched or incapable —the able pay ing for those who are not. In fine, a suspension of work is a great misfortun e to them and to their fa milies, and an irreparable evil to all. Therefore let all honest and discreet workmen separate themselves im mediately from all these coalitions, which are expressly forbidden by the laws ; let them return to their work, and take care not to leave it. Let them be assured that the magistrates will watch over them, and will defend them against those who may threaten or attempt to se duce them. They will be protected in the freedom of their work. As to those who may, after this present warning, continue to assemble, let them know that they will expose themselves to be treated with all the seve rity which justice and the law command. They will, wherever they may appear, find the armed force ready to disperse their assemblages ; those who may resist the commands of the authorities will be arrested and brought to trial. Measures will also be taken against all those who have no known domicile, or regular papers. Every workman convicted of attempting to seduce any of his comrades will be excluded from being employed in any of the public works. Whoever shall have attempted to prevent another from working, or shall enter any work shop,'with the intent of carrying away by force any of his comrades, will be delivered over to the tribunals. Every disorder will be severely put down. " G. DELESSERT. A deputation of the syndical chamber of contractors for mason's work, appointed at a general meeting of the trade, was received yesterday morning by the Prefect of Police, and presented to him the draft of an address which they had drawn up for the journeymen masons. This document, in its first portion, argues with the men upon the injustice they do themselves when they de mand an uniform price for the good as well as the in different workmen, and upon the disadvantages they would labour under if the piece system were changed for constant journeywork. It assures the men that they do not understand their true interests in demanding that the tachei ons, or middle men, should be removed from between them and their masters ; and it terminates with the following sensible advice : " Become not the instruments of your own ruin—no longer lend your ears to perfidious councils and sugges tions. Follow the dictates of your own good sense and reason, of your own conscientious convictions, and of your interest, which is that you should have what your work deserves. Think of your families, the first virtue of a man of honour, who with your selves will be the victims of the course into which it is wished to lead you. Workmen, you have already lost time—the season for work is passing away fast. Only a few months remain ; therefore take advantage of what you have left ; for winter will come upon you but too soon. Calculate the savings you have made since your sagacious counsellors, your pretended comrades have drawn you into a wrong direction. Calculate those which you may make during the short time which re mains for your having a full day's work. Examine and form a just opinion of those who, for the last fortnight, have been your guides ; consider what is their connec tion with you, what they have in common with you, the sentiments and interests which dictate the advice they give you ; ascertain whether they are the original au. hors of it, or whether they have received it from others and are only intermediaries. Examine and judge of those councils which we, who know you, and whom you know, are now giving. Choose between us, follow your own sense and reason, and your own conscientious con victions." (From the Gazette des Tribunaux of Saturday.) Yesterday was signalized by no fresh disturbances, though at a very early hour of the morning considerable numbers of the working classes congregated at Pantin, upon the heights of St. Chaumont, at the fort of Ro inaitiville, and other points. It is stated that the ma sons returned to work, and there is reason to hope that the other branches of trade will not be long in following so laudable an exa , tiple. Last night thirty individuals, either syndics or dele gates from the coalition of stonecutters, were arrested by a judge's order, and a seizure effected at their habi tations of the subscription lists,enrolments,and circulars. The three sergens de ville who were so dangerously wounded at M. Pthet's establishment are not yet dead ; hopes are even entertained of saving them, but the very serious nature of their condition is such that M. Des tnortiers Deterville has not been able to submit them to% any interrogatory. nor to confront them with the indi viduals who are signalised as being the instigators of the wounds which place their lives in danger. When we made mention in our number of Wednes day last of some disturbances which were the sequel to the reform banquet at Chatillon, and of those at the re turn to Paris of the numerous guests, we had a motive for concealing a fact which took place at the round point of the Barriere d'Eller, in the hopes that it would not be attended with any serious consequences. As we have already stated, it there happened that, at the very moment when a detachment of Municipal Guards wished to intercept the column, a collision took place, after which the meeting continued its progress. An individual, dressed in the uniform of the National Guards, after having insulted the Municipal Guards and made use of threatening language to them, drew his se‘ord, and inflicted upon one of them two blows. The companions of the latter throwing themselves upon the assailant, seized him, but the orders of their chiefs were sufficient to prevent them attempting any reprisals. Soon afterwards a posse of National Guards, surround ing the Municipal Guards on all sides, succeeded in res cuing their comrade, who returned in the midst of them to Paris. The wounded man, who was immediately conveyed to Val de Grace, received a ll t h e attent i on an d assist ance that his position demanded ; but every effort of human art was useless, and last night the unfortunate Municipal Guard, who belongs to the 10th company, which is in barracks in the quartier of the Faubourg St. Martin, breathed his last. (From the Droll.) On Thursday evening 500 persons were arrested on the Boulevard, near the Porte Saint Denis and in the adjacent streets. They were all taken to the Concier genie, but before twelve o'clock most of them were dis charged. The Prefecture was so crowded with pri soners that all the public women who were in confine ment for various offences have been removed. The ac counts given of sums of money being found in the pos session of some of the prisoners, whose dress indicated poverty, receiving are incorrect, meals at t certain a t ihn houses. eyhad on nothing tickets for true, was yesterday morning found with a great number of those tickets for distribution, and had at the prisone ers time the disposal of a considerable s u m . I n t h e course of yesterday, the commissary of th e quar t er o f the Porte Saint Martin, having summo ne d a crow d of journey men, and others collected from idl e cur i os i ty, to dis perse, but without effect, called up a d etachment of Municipal Guards, who made 600 of th em and secured them in the barracks of the Faubourg Saint Martin. published generally (From Galiguani of Saturday.) Yesterday there was a lint.: improvement apparent in the disp os iti ons o f the workmen, and th e last av i 8 of seems to have produced some little effect, for althoughthe Prefe c t of P o li c e which was so there were still a great number of those who had joined the " strike" to be seen sauntering about, yet the as semblages were by no means so tumultuous or numerous as on previous days. Many of the mason s and house 3'. . carpenters had resumed work yesterday, i 0 the morn ing, however, there was a considerable number col lected at the top of Rue Miromenil, near the plains of Monceaux, to disperse whom it vas found necessary to call in the aid of a body of infantry from the neigh bouring posts, and, in the collison whi c h ensued, we regret to say that one of the soldiers was very severely wounded in the side by a stab from one of those formi dable weapons, a poignard knife. Several of the ringleaders were arrested and marched off to the Prefecture. The neighbourhoods of Vaugirard and Pantin, where the mee ti n gs have hitherto taken place, were very quiet, although a number of workmen were to be seen in the streets ; and from the appearance of the wine-shops and other places of refreshment, there seemed to be no lack of money amongst them. Towards dusk a great number of persons were collected about the Portes St. Martin and St. Denis, which number was evidently considerably increased by those drawn there from curiosity. Strong detachments of etvalry were patrolling the Boulevards, and about eight o'clock the Corps de Garde in that neighbourhood were strongly reinforced. These pre cautions, however, fortunately turned out unnecessary, as nothing occurred to disturb the public peace, and by half-past ten the Boulevards were perfectly quiet, and all demonstrations of the armecl fo=vea removed. • ° the The .National, in !l ancing statement that several workmen, on being a pprehended, had been found with sums of gold and silver in their possession, amounting sometimes to 100 f. or 110', explains the circums!aace by the men being accustomed to carry their earnings about them, and commonly in gold, for the sake of por tability and security. The workmen generally lodge d la chanzbrce, that is, from six to twenty in the same room, and, as they do cot always know each other, and have no furniture, they are obliged to keep their earn ings about their person. THE EASTERN QUESTION. We find in the Univers a letter from Toulon pur porting to contain an eapose of the designs of Great Britain and ber allies in the Levant. "It my Informa tion be correct," says the correspondent of the Univers, "the 1.5,000 muskets embarked at Gibraltar on board the Pique frigate are not intended for Syria, but for Candle, which the coalesced Powers are determined on occupying, and committing to the keeping of British canuoneers and Albanians in the service of the Porte." " It is highly probable," adds the writer, " that the mo ment this takes place Mehemet Ali will order his son Ibrahim to address an appeal to the Mussulman popu lation of Asia Minor, who are devoted to him, cross the Taurus, and march upon Constantinople." Then will matters become more complicated, for the Russian squadron will certainly then land a corps of army on the banks of the Bosphorus. We have been assured by our correspondent in Alexandria that the blockade of the coasts of Syria and Egypt by the united forces of Eng land and Austria will have no result. We may then calculate on the coalesced Powers resorting to other means." The Gazette du Midi publishes a letter dated Con stantinople, the 17th ult., which states, " The coercive measures to be adopted against Mehemet Ali are still kept secret. It is only known that the coast of Syria is to be blockaded, and that an army is to be formed at Cyprus composed of 10,000 Turks, 12,000 Austrians, who are to come from the ports in the Adriatic Sea, and 2,000 or 3,000 English, who will be drawn from Malta and the lonian Islands. This body of troops is intended to act simultaneously with the Syrians, if they can in duce them to raise an insurrection, or to land on Ibra him's flank, in case he should march on Constantinople." We find the following in a letter from Constantinople, dated the 17th ult. : " There has been received from Alexandria a letter addressed by Mehemet Ali to the new Grand Vi zier Raouf Pacha, of which the following is the sub stance :—After having complimented him on his having obtained the rank of Grand Vizier, and thanked him for the attention paid to his Envoy, he entreats him to place at the foot of the throne the expression of his sincere gratitude for the kindness with which the Sultan had condescended to receive Sung Bey. He then con tinues his letter in the following terms :--.‘ My private secretary and friend, Samy Bey, did not go to Constan tinople on a political mission. The object of his jour ney was to compliment his Highness in ray name on ac count of the noble child which God in his goodness has deigned to grant to him. But, as Samy Bey is my secretary and friend, and knows my most private thoughts, he was authorized to reply in my name to any propositions which the Porte might have to make to him for the final termination of the differences which severely afflict the Ottoman empire. The dis missal of Khosrew Pacha permitted him to believe that an arrangement was possible. But I have just had communicated to me a note from the Four Powers, who threaten to force me to abandon Syria. I consider this European intervention not only as an offence to Mussulman dignity, but also as an attempt upon the existence of the Ottoman empire, which I think it my duty as a good Mussulman to resist. I de clare by God, and by the aid of God, that my intention never was to disturb the Ottoman empire, nor to embarass the Government of his Highness. I declare that I have the most profound respect for my Lord and Master Sultan Abdul Medjid, and that amongst the whole of his sub jeets he has not one more devoted or more faithful than myself. I know that the independence of the Ottoman empire is assailed, and I declare that I will resist with all my force. I have withdrawn the regular troops from the Hedjaz, and left only the irre gular troops, which will, I hope, suffice for the defence of the holy cities, and the, protection of the pilgrims. I am fortifying (here follow the names of several towns of Syria and Egypt), and am resolved to defend myself to the last extremity, for the defence of Islamism itself is concerned. It is possible that I may fall in the con flict ; but I shall, at least, have the consolation of dying for the cause of religion and the Prophet." INSURRECTION IN MADRID. (From the illoniteur Parisien of Saturday night.) By Royal decree, dated Valencia, Aug. 28, the new Spanish Ministry is composed as follows : President of the Council and Minister of Justice ad interim Senor Cortazor. Minister of War General Xavier Aspiroz • Foreign Affairs Interior Marine Finance ad interim Senor Secades." On the news of the formation of this Ministry, which is of the opinion of the majority of the Cortes ( Mode rade), the municipality of Madrid declared itself on the Ist inst, permanent. The national militia took arms and occupied the principal posts. The Captain-General Aldama was fired upon ; his horse was killed and his Aide-de-Camp wounded. He took up positions at the Retiro with two battalions, one squadron, and several pieces of artillery. The political chief of Madrid, General Buerens, was arrested and imprisoned under a guard at the Hotel de Ville. • ' Notwithstanding the events of the day the aspect of Madrid was tranquil on the evening of the Ist instant. The Messager also gives the above and adds s— " The following are some personal details of the. Members who compose the new Ministry : " Senor Cortazar, a friend of Isturiz, is President of the Royal Court of Valladolid, and Deputy for Zamora. " General Aspiroz, formerly Deputy, and General of the Army of the Centre, under the orders of O'Don nell, was brought up in France, studied at the Lyceum of Pau, and at the school of Sorcze. Aspiroz was page to King Joseph. " Senor Zayas is not a Member of the Cortes. He was Charge d'Affaires in Belgium, and was one of the principal Secretaries at the Office of Foreign Affairs at the time of his nomination. " Senor Artela, formerly Deputy Lieut.-Colonel of Engineers, was political Chief of Navarre. " Finally, Senores Arrnero and Secadez formed a por tion of the defunct Ferraz Cabinet, which resigned at Valencia." " We may add to the Messager's notices," says the Morning Post, " that Buerens was the General whose division was cut to pieces in September, 1837, by the Carlists. Buerens, after this affair, was in dis grace, but retrieved himself afterwards in Catalonia. The conclusion of the Moniteur's statement, that tran quillity prevailed on the evening of the Ist, was probably only the precursor of a desperate conflict on the 2d. It must be premised that the French Cabinet sustains the Moderado party, sod may be presumed to be re served in its accounts of their prospects?' NSURRECTIONARY MOVE- MENTS IN PORTUGAL. LlsßoN, Auu. 31, 4 r.m.—The embers of revolt have been rekindled into a comparative flame. Towards the close of Friday evening last the telegraph from Abrantes announced to the Secretary at ‘Var, that about 200 to 300 of the 6th Regiment of the Line, at Castello Branco, supposed to have been inveigled by some of the rioters who escaped from the Military Arsenal on the night of the 11th, and proceeded thither, had turned out, vociferating," Long live the Queen, the Constitution of 1838, and down with the Ministry." As a preparatory step to quell the insubordination, an order was forthwith transmitted to the 2d battalion to hold itself in readiness to march. The unexpected re fusal to obey this mandate, upon the plea that its privates could not be depended upon,threw the War Minister into consternation. A conference of the advisers of the Crown soon assembled, and sat in deliberation at the Home Department until two on the following morning, the garrison of Lisbon being under areas in their respec tive barracks, and the Municipal Guard concentrated in their various quarters, thus leaving the city with scarcely any police for the protection of its inhabitants. Upon its breaking up, the Minister of Justice went off to Cintra, to acquaint her Majesty the Queen of passing events, as also to point out the expediency of the Court returning to the capital, which was soon accomplished. The 16th Regiment, with a contingent force of 100 from the 7th and 10th Infantry and 30th Cacadores, 60 of the 2d Lancers, and two pieces from the Ist Artillery, making together about 1,000 effective men, being ordered to march, her Majesty yesterday (Sun day), at four o'clock in the afternoon, reviewed the whole garrison, consisting of the Ist Artillery, 2d Lan cers, 7th, 10th, 16th, and 17th Infantry, the Naval Battalion, 2d and 30th Carlidnres, and the Municipal Guard, in all 2,000, who were drawn up in Rua Au gusta and the Praga do Cotnercio, passing through their lines in an open barouche with the Princes Royal, Don Pedro, escorted by a troop of the 2d Lancers, accom panied by King Ferdinand on h orse b ac k, w h o was at tended by his staff, the Duke de Terceira, Count de Bomfim, General Viscount Villa Nova de Gaia, after which the Queen returned to the square, stopped under the windows of the Foreign-office, where the troops passed in review order, and those who were to march taking the lead, and proceeding to embark direct on board three of the steam company's boats for Villa Nova da Rainha, and thence to Abrantes. It was remarked that on her Majesty's appearance among the soldiery, the deepest silence prevailed ; not a single viva was uttered, not even from the numerous concourse of spectators. This, however, from the pecu liar character of the metropolitans, ought not to be taken as a criterion. Orders have been sent off to the Ist Lancers in Estremoz, the 4th and 3th Cavalry in Torres Novas, and Evora to send to Abrantes 100 men from each re giment, 100 of the 3d Cavalry at Monte Moro-Novo to come to Lisbon, and the remainder to proceed to • Campo Mayor. The 12th battalion of Infantry, 150 strong, arrived h ere y es t er d a y f rom S t . Üb es . Th Government are exceedingly jealous of the troops in the Algarves, more particularly the sth Cna dores at Tavira. Yesterday morning the Don Pedro brig of war, in order to secure their fidelity, sailed with coin to pay up their arrears. On Saturday the Ministers came down to the Cham ber of Deputies, and after relating as much of the oc currences as suited their purpose, requested to be in vested with discretionary power for one month, which was referred to a select committee, and„ as customary, in the very short space of half an hour the following report was brought up, read, and almost immediate)) , carried. " Article 1. That the Government be authorised with discretionary power fur one month— " 1. To noininate military chiefs for any places they may judge indispensable. " 2. To suspend, and substitute by cny person of their confidence, any local administrative authorities they may deem convenient. " 3. To delegate to chiefs and military commandants all governative and executive authority which may be necessary to preserve public security. " Article 2. The Government' at the expiration of the above period to present to the Cortes the use they may have made of the power conceded to them by this law. " Article 3. All other legislative acts to the contrary to be suspended." (Signed by all the members of the Committee except ing M. Avila.) Consequent upon this law, M. Antonio Jervis d'Ais toguia, Honorary Secretary of State, was immediately appointed Administrator-General of the capital in r )cm of M. Gamboa-e-Liz, M. Antonio Joze Avilla, Admi nistrator-General of Oporto with discretionary powers, and Major Sola to resume his situation as Chiet of the Staff of the 3d Military district. These with a M. Brito, an Assessor-General, started in the subsequennt forenoon (yesterday) in the Porto steamer, hired ex pressly for the purpose, for Oporto. The interest of the 4 per Cent. Inscriptions for the first half of the present year will be paid at the Board of Public Credit on the 9th, 14th, 23d, 28th, and 30th of September, and on the sth, 7th, and 12th of Octo ber next. Those who do not present their respective titulos on the days specified will not be paid until fur ther notice. The able and much respected Charge d'AfFtires of the United States left this for St. lines on Friday last, there to take his passage on board the bark Onece for Boston, taking with him, I am credibly informed, the so-often-talked-of commercial treaty between Portugal and the United States duly signed. The ratifications, it is expected, will soon be exchanged. Arrived, on the 29th inst., the Iberia steam-packet, from London and Falmouth, with the mail of the 22d instant ; on the 29th, the Royal Tar, steam-packet, from Cadiz and Gibraltar, bringing the Malta mail of the 19th. Sailed on the 28th, the Iberia steam-packet, fo- Cadiz and Gibraltar. Foreign ships of war in the Tagus—The Espoir brig, British ; La Coquette corvette, French. Exchange upon London, at 30 days' sight, 55d. per milrei ; discount on ex-paper money, 60 per cent. It is understood that the insurrectionary troops arc marching upon Abrantes. PROCLAMATION. " Soldiers, I can rely upon you! you are yet the same soldiers of my father. By your means he placed me on the throne ; by your means he gained liberty for this country. But our common enemies are unwilling to leave us in quietness, are unwillinc , that we should enjoy it. They well know and confess that they cannot shake the loyalty of a Portuguese soldier ; on this account it is that they call upon my name and that of the consti tution to deceive sou, and make use of you as instru ments of their wickedness. Know them well ; their end is tyranny, which they wish to exercise in my name, usurping my rights, and rob me of the power which the constitution gives me, in order that I may not be able to protect you, afterwards to destroy you, and to the end that I may remain a slave in th:ir hands, obliged to be hold my people oppressei and destroyed, and sign de crees of proscription and death, with which they already threaten my most faithful defenders, who are also yours, and of the liberty of the nation. "Soldiers ! allow not yourselves to be deluded. Follow me, who am the daughter of your General ; and ye know full well that he never conducted you but to victory and liberty. " THE " Palace of Necessidatles, Aug.3o, 1840." QUEEN. Times. ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND MAIL FROM INDIA. The British steamer Prometheus put into Toulon last Friday from stress of weather, but went on to Marseilles the same dab. It brings the overland India mail from Malta, with dates probably from Alexandria of the 23d or to the 25th, a week later than the advices by the Tartare. The despatches by the Prometheus may be expected in Paris on Sunday night or Monday. There was no business doing at Tortoni's on Satur day night. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 17.—The mission of Rifut Bey was officially announced to the Ambassadors on the .sth, and the notification he was charged to make to the Pacha was to the following effect : " His Highness promises to grant to Mehemet Ali, to be possessed by him and his descendants in a direct line, the administration of the Paella lie of Egypt, and his Highness moreover promises to grant to Mehemet Ali, during his lifetime, with the title of Pacha of Acre, and the command of the fortress of St. Jean d'Acre, the administration of the southern part of Syria, the ex tent of which is to be limited by the following boun dary line : " This l►ne, leaving Cape Ras-el-Nakhora, on the Mediterranean coast, will extend directly thence to the mouth of the River Sciallan, the northern extremity of Lake Tiberias, will run along the western bank of the Dead Sea, continue thence in a straight line to the Red Sea, ending at the northern point of the Gulf of Akaba, and following thence the western coast of the Gulp'. of Akaba, and the eastern bank of the Gulf of Suez, as far as Suez. " However, the Sultan, in making these offers requires that Mehemet Ali shall accept them in the space of ten days after receiving communication thereof at Alexan dria through an agent of his Highness, and that Me hemet Ali shall at the same time deposit in the hands of this agent the necessary instructions for the com manders of his land and sea forces to retire immediately from Arabia and from all the holy cities therein situ ate, from the Island of Candia, the district of Adana, and from all the other parts of the empire not included within the limits of Egypt and of the Pachalic of Acre as above defined." The Government had laid an embargo on the steamer II Pada di Pellegrini, sailing under Tuscan colours, but known to belong to Mehemet Ali, in consequence of its having been discovered that several emissaries of the Pacha had arrived in her at Constantinople. The Charge d'Affaires of Tuscany was officially informed by the Porte that the vessel would not hereafter be per mitted to enter the Bosphorus. The guard placed on board had been removed and the steamer allowed to depart. The steamers Seri Pervas and Metternich arrived on the 12th from Ismidt, bringing 1,400 Albanian troops. The Sultan had conferred the decoration of Iftikar on M. Conte, Director-General of the French Post office. M. Christides, the Governor of Syra, had arrived, with full powers to negotiate a new treaty of commerce between Greece and the Porte. Khosrew Pacha is still detained a prisoner in his house at Rodosto, and all his property has been confiscated. . . . Recent advices from Persia state that the differences between the Shah and Paella of Bagdad had been amicably adjusted. NEWS FROM THE MEDITER- RANEAN. Malta Papers to the 26th ult. have reached us. We I extract from the Alediterraneo the following accounts of naval movements : " The Rhadamanthus steam frigate arrived on the 19th instant from Mytilene, whence she took her depar ture on the 14th, and the Phcenix on the 23d from Corfu, Athens, Vourla, Smyrna, and last from Myti lene the 19th instant, the latter bringing Lady Stop ford and family, and the former Mr. Moore, the return Queen's messenger. By these arrivals we learn the departure from the fleet of the Ganges, Thun derer, and Bellerophon, for Beyruth, to join the Powerful, Edinburgh, and Castor, already there, leaving the Admiral and the rest of the fleet, with the Austrian division, to proceed off Alexandria. The Wasp was to remain cruising about Mytilene to make known the direction the Admiral had taken, and for other vessels to follow.

The Powerful and Edinburgh were about proceeding to Beyruth and Sr. Jean d'Acre, leaving the Castor between Beyruth and Tripoli (in Syria). A Turkish frigate and a cor vette, laden with warlike stores have sailed from Con. stantiaople for Cyprus. A line-of-battle ship, with another frigate and a corvette, to escort twenty-foul transports with 6,000 troops, were to take their depar ture for the same destination on the 19th. This expedis tion is under the absolute command of Admiral Walker late commander of the Vanguard. The Asia will ac company them." SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. ( FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY.) (From the Globe.) The selection of the Repeal question, as the theme ei Mr. O'Connell's present addresses to his speech-lovitr, country men, is a matter of necessity rather than of choice. One by one—ma/gre Tory opposition, whether assumed the form of political jealousy or of religious hate of the Catholics—each of the practicable dis abilities and personal grievances of the Irish natior_ has been redressed. Catholic emancipation has beer achieved. The irritating tithe-laws have been new modelled, and the payment of tithe by the Catholic peasant to the Protestant clergyman, so lone the source of heart-burning and of frequent and fatal collision, has been transferred from the tenant to the landlord. The removal of Catholic disabilities is no longer an inoperative statute, *not kin3' the people by words of fair promise, while the Govece went carefully neutralized its enactment by excludir Catholics from every office in the State. The Mun - - cipal Corporation Act will terminate the long reign , Orange bigotry and insolence, which the monopoly 7 Corporation power and iufluence by Protestants enables them to exercise over the Catholics, by a practical ex elusion of the Catholic population from all participa. tion in Municipal Government. A mild, considerate but faithful administration of the laws has inspires the people with confidence in their governors ; aid the unbroken quiet of the country attests, but that for the " Repeal cry," Mr. O'Connell would be deprived of: single topic of national interest with which to embellish his speeches, and to impart anything like excitement te• his harangues. His language would be strictly congra, tulatory ; and this would speedily pall on the car, and would cease, from the absence of novelty, to interest the populace. It became, therefore, essential, if he—who had so long swayed an unexampled power of the millions over his fellow-countrymen —were not prepared to re tire from the scene of his many triumphs into compara tive obscurity—for him to appear in a new-revivcd.cha racter, and as the leader of a new movement—that of Re. peal. The decided failure of Mr. O'Connell's attempt to produce general excitement sufficiently indicates the dis position to repose which pervades the community, and justifies the Government in its abstinence from inter posing its authority to suppress what is not likely to endanger public tranquillity. We fearlessly appeal to the common sense of the nation, whether it would not bo indicative of conscious weakness, which is ever the concomitant of fear, were the Government to interpose_.. issue proclamations prohibiting such assemblages of the people—recall the military to Ireland—increase the police establishment—and by lu 1 means induce the country to believe that there are really grounds for the alarms which the Times would produce for the put poses we have stated. (From the Courier.) Dr. Chalmers, in his last published pamphlet, takes great credit to " our majorities" in the Church, th;: they " suspended the operation of the Veto-law to the extent, that it cannot have full or final effect to the pre judice of any patron or presentee, till the result of out negotiations shall have been determined." The deliverance of the General Assembly, to which Dr. Chalmers must allude, was given in 1839, when a motion simply to re-enact and retransmit the Regulations of the Act anent Calls was made and opposed by a counter motion, not, in the eir eamstances, to re-enact and re-transmit these rep:. lations. After these two motions had been for some time discussed, the Procurator of the Church propose& the adoption of a tbird—" that the regulations should be reenacted and re-transmitted ; but that in all disputed cases, Presbyteries should not proceed, but refer to next Assembly"-1840. The first motion was withdraw= in favour of the Procurator's, which was carried against the second, made and persisted in by Dr. Bryce. Where the Learned Professor can find the qualifying terms in this deliverance of 1839, " till the result of our present. negotiation shall have been determined," we are at. Et loss to know. When the Assembly of 1840 met, the exception made by the former Assembly in regard to disputed cases under the Veto" terminated ; it was no doubt again revived on the regulations being again re-enacted, in opposition to a motion then made by Dr. /Stearns ; but not " till the result of our present nego_ tiation shall have been determined," but " until next - Assembly," 1841. So much for the aceiracy of Dr. Chalmers's statement. (From the Standard.) When Mr. O'Connell has succ eded in maddenine his miserable countrymen up to the very confines of re hellion, the time has surely arrved to inte:Togate Queen's Ministers plainly and openly. Are they pre pared to acquiesce in the Repeal scheme ? Then why not acquiesce at once—why give to the Romanist fay tion the encouragement, and the strength, too, of p. second victory over the Government and Parliament of the United Kingdom, supported by the whole people of Great Britain ? If the repeal is ever to be conceded, we say, concede it now. If the concession be delayed, it will by delay be rendered infinitely more dau. gerous. But the concession, say Ministers, ca n never be made. We shall prefer civil war b&tore it. But why force the wretched alternative of a dismem berment of the empire, or civil war ? 'Why allow the evil to grow to a magnitude that will call for armies to suppress it when you can now strangle it by peacefil means? The Romanist Bishops we see have given in their adhesion as Repealers the one after the other. Such is the loyalty of Lord Plunkett's " most excellent and most ex emplary body of men in existence"—the rabble aro , repeal-toad, everywhere that repeal has been agitate,' ‘ And what are the members of the Irish Government-. the Government that threatens to repress repeal by the war, doing all the while ? Entertaining the repeal agt: tator in the Queen's Castle of Dublin. Does the Irish Government expect that the agitation will d. of itself, or that a party favourable to the preser:,7 Ministers will rise to resist it '? The most impudect of their apologists will not dare to suggest this. The whole history of Irish disaffection demonstrates that in Ireland agitation, though eas,ly withered by the discountenance of rulers, or easily crushed by the strong hand of the law, never dies of itself, and always augments in ambition and ferocity by indulgence. That history is but a commentary, though a full one, upon the text of Nliraheait. " what is yielded to menace never satisfies." What, then, is the Irish Governme n t doing to check the pro gress of the repeal madness W e do not ask whetherit has prosecuted the seditious. Repealers—generally not .ove prosecutions . as instruments of government, any we should hold it a crime . to prosecute any prit while the . great incendiary is permitted to p as , without punishment ; but without putting the laws in motion, there are a th ousan d ways in which a Go vernment can manifest its displeasure. Has the Irish Government manife s t e d i ts d i spleasure at Mr. o'Con nell s conduct i n any of these thousand ways? —Hasit openly reprove d him ? Has it de prived him of th e C omm i ss i on of the Peace? — , Has it scornfully re j ecte d hi s recommendations ter offce :'—Ha s it excluded him from Dublin Castle? No, it has not, b ecause i t dares not. How much longer is this to continue ? How much longer will selfish and wicked men be suffered to occupy a station for which they arc disqualified, if by nothing else, by those complications with traitors which disable the!m from checking the advances of treason ? It it plain that they will not make way for others not com mitted t o p o li t i ca l cr i m i na l s, an d thereforein a con dition to oppose them. But will the country tolerate the anomaly of the continuance in office of the abject tools of its now de c lar e d enem y ? Yes, Mr. O'Con nell has openly declared war against England, and yet England submits to be governed by his slaves. • beer( drivend and what has Mr. Eliason to ,3 11, Oct, bee ; as we hear, on the 3(1 ~,,/ one himself to Drury-lane i ‘ s ,a t r o ni, op a e n i d l, now he has f; t d 1 ' ' and has sent an emissary to Paris, to do whz.t the\ci:dursmeofi)suerized towards him ?
