expressions:—
" if a glorious and paternal government,like that of his Majesty
the Emperor Alexander, of illustrious memory. has been the ob-
ject of criminal plots like those described by the Commission of In-
quiry at St. Peterabergh, hi their report, drawn up with as much
calmness as perspicuity, there can no longer be any doubt of the
danger with which the false and perverse principles of some men
might menace the tranquillity and the well-being of the meet
powerful empires. Nothing certainly i* more proper to fix the at-
tention of all governments, and the Diet is fulfilling lea most sa-
cred duty by giving instantly to its high constituents a complete
knowledge of the communications for which it is indebted to his
Excellency the Baron d'Anstett."

SMYRNA, JULY 3.

Ever since the breaking out of the Revolution at Constantinople,
we have been in great alarm on account of the Jan4ssaries, who,
on the receipt of the order from the capital, did laced give up tht ir
kettles and badges to the Paella, but positively refused to lay down
their arms. Several Oustas have declared, that if orders to disarm
them should come, they will not only resist them, but will unite
with the Janissaries at Aleppo and Damascus, amounting to nearly
fifty thousand men, who arc reported to have directly resisted the
execution of the commands of the Sultan for the introduction of
European discipline. The number of Janissaries here is front ten
to twelve thousand men ; and it cannot be dented that we are
chiefly indebted for the maintenance of tranquillity hitherto to the
presence of the French, English, Austrian, and Sardinian
squadrons.

Journal, August 8.

To the midst of the grave discussions about politica
economy and national distress, it might perhaps be well to
unbend ourselves a little occasionally, and seek for some
subject that would call for less mental exertion on the part
of our readers. Little as the snore ponderous class of
writers are disposed to value the daily lucubrations of the
periodical press, there is certainly no species of writing in
which it is less easy to trifle. The newspaper writer is
always praising or blaming—always aiming at the produc-
tion of some effict on the opinion of the public, or on that
of men in power. The reviewer has his book before
him, and on all the contents he is at full liberty to enlarge
as lie, pleases, whether those contents be purely specu-
lative or directly practical. Writers in magazines
are allowed to sweep over the whole range of
science and literature. All they have to do is to find, if
possible, something new in this wide range, or to dresi up
something old in a new shape. None of them are bound,
like the newspaper writer, to watch the topic of the day—
to direct their thoughts only to what attracts the public
attention for the moment—to determine, at least in a plau-
sible manner, what in all great public questions is the proper
course to be pursued. If the subject be considered atten-
tively, it will be found that the conductors of a newspaper
ought to possess more qualities than Cicero's orator. They
ought to be philosophers, orators, statesmen, generals, ad-
mirals ; for they are obliged to give opinions on all subjects
connected with these different departments. In short,
they ought to be what no human being ever was or will
be. When we consider this, we are apt sometimes to swell
into a sort of imaginary importance. Inhabiting the same
forest, we begin almost to fancy that we belong to the
more noble herd. Like the philosopher in "Rasselas," or
.the fly on the wheel, we are apt to imagine that the mo-
tions which we see about us are the result of our own vo-
lition, and we are willing to trace every event to the hints
and suggestions which we have thrown out or inculcated.
We have heard the names of some of our contemporaries
mentioned, whose sphere of action is not much more ex-
tensive than our own, who yet fancy that no political
event takes place but from their counsels—that no point is
carried in the Cabinet without reading their leading ar-
ticles, and no unfledged project cherished by Ministers
but what has been originally hatched in their columns.
Vet, in the midst of this swelling, the affairs of the nation
are going on just as if these heroes of the single sheet did
not exist—just as if the Times and the Courier had come
out blank—just as if the art of mystification had never
been discovered, and the demi-official tone never assumed
at hazard. It is a little mortifying, after we have sub-
mitted to the labours of a Minister of State—after we have
balanced contending interests at biome and abroad—after
giving our nights and our days to the affairs of the nation—
that the nation should concern itself as little about our af-
fairs as it does about those of Interior Africa. Indeed,
the interior of a newspaper-office is to most people a terra
incognita, and few who rend our labours ever dream of the
wear y watchings which they have cost us. Well may a nation
be proud which can command the efforts of so many for
sixpence. Every thing is brought to the market in one or
other of the Journals. All palates are suited. Thousands
of well-educaPal men have no earthly business to perform
hut that of contributing to the zest of their breakfast.
Heaven and earth are ransacked for the sake of a single
paragraph to astonish or aintize. From the horrid sour.

ders, dreadful catastrophes, shocking events, unnatural
crimes, which figure in the columns of one of our con-
temporaries, to the monotonous complainings of another on
the abuses of criminal and correctional law, there are a
great number of shades distinguishing each of the rivals
from its fellows; though the object of all is one—to please
the palates of their readers... This we are willing freely
to confess, on our own parti, in all easel where our read-
ers' ph asure and prods de Dot disagree. This is all the
merit we aspire•to. •

CITY, Moxnay EVENING.
At the opening of the Money Market this morning,
Collis°he were named at ; but there was no disposition
to buy at that quotation, and the first transactions were
accomplished at 78,1, at whick.price they continued almost
without variation throughout the day. Very few money
transactions took place, and at the close of the market they
had declined to 7845, sellers. In other Home Funds there
is 110 variation, except Yew. Four per Cents., which arc at
2 premium. Exchequer Bills have retired to 15 pre-
mium, while India lioneld.hoe. retrograded in the same
.
proportion, being now at Vs.
The ifOriligence from Colombia has had the effect of
taking those Bonds down to3l. This Republic, according
to the accounts received, is It) a very unsettled state: they
are ou the point of being engaged in a civil war from
within, while a Spanish fleet is preparing to attack them
from without ; and it does not appear that their own fleet
is in any state of preparation, either fur attack or defence,
inasmuch as they are greatly deficient in men. Under
these circumstances, it is next to impossible that the Go-
vernment will be enabled to make remittances to this
country, when the funds at their command will be in such
requisition at home.

Mexican Bonds have declined in about the nine ratio,
which supports the opinion, that in despite of all that is
said to the contrary, the int6ests of these Republics are
essentially interwoven with each other. During the day,
these Bonds receded to 1.61, but subsequently underwent
a slight re-action, and closed at 47. Greek Bonds bear a
quotation of 13 ; the temporary✓ occupation of the steam
vessels (on their way to join Lord Cochrane), on their pat-
sage down the River, being ruetely precautionary, as re-
spects their not taking warlike stares on board.. No further

information has reacind England than that his Lordship
had entered the Archipelago with a large fleet.
The Share Market has displayed little activity—Brazilian
are at 1.5, and Tlalpuxahua at 3.1 premium.

In the Corn Market there has been some business done

in new which have realiard the same prices as last
Market. In Barley, Oats, Pease; Beans, and, indeed, all
other grain, there has been an atvance of from two to three
shillings a quarter, but the Nlaiiiet is limited to mere pur-
chases of necessity ; indeed, gcne/ally speaking, this sys-
tem pervades, there being no disposition to do any thing
beyond that which is required 'by the demand of the
moment.

T: • letters from the manufactating districts are rather of
a cheering nature to-day, inasmuch as they continue to
show a slight re-action, and state a general appearance of
tranquillity within the last few days.

The Turkey mail brings accounts from Smyrna to the
Sth, and from Constantinople to the I tth ult. It is stated
with some confidence, that the Porte has taken serious
offence at the assistance given by English individuals to
the Greeks ; and that papers of a disagreeable nature have
been sent to our Ambassador. One of the letters we have
seen concludes in these words : " The Porte will listen to
no representations or explanations of the English Ambas-
sador ; you may expect to hear shortly of his recall." The
piracies continue frequent, but we may now expect that
they will be suppressed, as the English Admiral, Sir H.
Seale, and the American Commodore, Rodgers, had arirved
with their squadrons at Smyrna.
Accounts from Ilavri, by way of France, to the 23d of
June, state that a rt gul4r packet conveyance from Port-au-
Prince to Kingston in Jamaica had been established.
The English Consul-General is reported to have met with
serious difficulties in arranging the commercial relations
with England.
The rumour that the intercourse, which has now for
some time subsisted between the British West Indies and
the United States of America, would be forthwith pro-
hibited, is confirmed. Orders (we are informed from good
authority) have been transmitted to all English Governors,
to prohibit the intercourse on the Ist of December next.
We are informed this measure, according to the strict
letters of the treaties between the two Governments, ought
to have taken place in January last, as the treaties ex-
pressed that the intercourse should cease in that month,
provided England was not placed by the United States on
the footing of the moat favoured nations. The intercourse
prohibited is of course in American ships. The inter-
course in British vessels will no doubt be prohibited by the
American Congress.
Coxcarsa AT Par; asta.—Captain Van neuron, who
came a passenger in the Tampico; left Panama on the 20th
of May, and informs that, at that time, the delegates to
the Congress from Peru and Guatimala only had arrived.
Gen. Boivar was in Guayaquil. Whilst Captain Van
Beuren was at Chagres, a gentleman arrived from Panama,
who left three days after him, and stated that it was ru-
moured that the United States' schooner Dolphin, which
had been sent in pursuit of the mutineers of the ship Globe,
had been sunk by her crew, and that the frigate United
States had gone in pursuit of then'. Captain Van Beuren
does not vouch for the authenticity of this rumour.—New
rode Evening Post.
CANADA.---QU LBEC. JUNE 29.—Four Indians were
brought into town yesterday, under an escort of habitants,
accused, we understand, of the murder of two white men,
who had joined them to hunt in company during the course
of last winter, but who have been missing until lately,
since when *the skeleton of owing found. According to
private letters from England, it is contemplated to permit
forehm flour, warehoused in Canada, to be admitted into
the West Indies at a reduced duty of 2s. or 2s. 6tl. per
barrel. instead of Ss. This alteration is expected to be
carried through in the next Session of the Imperial Parlia-
ment. The committee on Emigration has been busily
employed during the Session, and collected a mass of in-
formation, which will, we understand, at no distant period,
be acted upon in regard to the ('anadas. Messrs. Stanley,
Wortley, and Dmison, the Members of the House of
Commons, who visited these provinces in the summer of
1824, are of this committee.
Faord DErmorr.—An enthusiast, named Jason Shep-
herd, has made his appearance in this city, preaching, as
he says, by a license from the Spirit, and proclaiming his
to be " the voice of one crying in the wilderness.' The
chiefs of the Sagana tribe of Chippewa Indians have ap-
plied to the Executive, for the release of Chimchick, or Big
Beaver, who is confined on a charge of murder. They
offer personal security, and their annuities, as pledges for
his appearance to answer the charge. Their petition will
be referred to the President. It is rumoured that
Chim-
chick threatens, in case of his release, revenge on the whites
for tha death of his father, attributed to his confinement in
prison.—American Paper.
'fhe Alexandria Herald contains a long account of the
confessions and execution of a young man of respectable
connexions, by the name of Hoe, for tha murder of a Mr.
Simpson. Hoe murdered Simpson and robbed him to pay
a debt of honour, contracted at cards. We thus see the
result of false principles, when gambling der/is should er-
roneously and ridiculously he considered more honourable
than a bona tide debt contracted for value received. A
few such debts paid under the gallows will soon wipe
away their honourable atanding.—.Anterican Paper.

CHELTENHAM, Alia. 13.

Yesterday being the King's natal day, the same was ob-
served. here by the ringing of bells; the flag flying from
the old church steeple, the firing of guns, &c. In the
walks, &c. of the King's old well, various colours were
displayed. Over the building where the late King drank
the water was the Union Jack. In the principal walk was
St. George's Crows and another flag.
In the evening there was a grand promenade and con-
cert at the Montpelier Spa, which attracted about 800
visitors. This was the fullest of any evening during the
season, except when the band had their benefit. The new
rotunda Was brilliantly illuminated on this occasion. Among
the pieces performed were an air and chorus from the
Creation, the Gipsy Glee from Guy Monnerino., the glee
" Memlv the Bells of St. Michael's ring," and "Away' with
Melancholy." The whole concluded with " God save the
King."
Among the company present were the Earl and Countess
of Cork and family, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court
of Common Pleas and family, Sir W. Bu^ lett, Lady Bur.
Jett, atul Miss Burdett, Lady Fraser; the Hon. Mrs. Moles-
worth, and Major Aubrey.

ners has gone by the advice of his physicians, for the be-
nefit of his health. Sir Herbert Taylor transacted busi-
ness with his Royal Highness yesterday morning, previous

Paris.
DEATH OF THE Bisuor or CLOYNE.—With feelings
of the deepest and most heartfelt regret we have to an-
nounce the death of the Right Reverend Dr. Warburton,
Lord Bishop of Cloyne, which melancholy event took place
at nine o'clock yesterday morning, at the Palace, Cloyne.
His Lordship was in a delicate state of health for some
time past, but the recent demise of a beloved and affection-
ate daughter took such an effect on his Lordship, that an
alteration for the worse became manifest: and it was soon
discovered that his recovery was hopeless. Ilia Lordship
was truly characterized for learning, piety, and amiable
virtues, and has departed this life with the sorrowing re-
gret of all classes, but particularly those who came within
the circle of his unostentatious benevolence. His Lordship
was in the 72t1 year of his age; his remains will, we un-
derstand, be interred on Saturday.—Cork Cvn.stif ut ion,
Au,gusi 10.
Du El..—An affair of honour took place on Friday morn-
ing, close to Cowes Castle, between the Earl of Glengall
and Lord William Lennox. The Noble Earl was attended
by Colonel Anson, and the Gallant Lord by his brother
officer, Lieut. Gordon, of the Blues. The cause of dis-
pute was an accusation made against Lord William Len-
nox, that be is a contributor to The Age, a London
Weekly Newspaper, which, by its constant publication of
tales of scandal and scurrility, is greatly annoying to the
feelings of individuals and families in the higher class• a of
society. Lord Glengall had expressed his conviction
of the truth of this accusation, and, upon request,
refusing to retract his opinion, Lord William sent his
friend to demand for him the usual satisfaction of a gen-
tleman. A meeting was immediately appointed, and an
exchange of shots took place, without doing personal in-
jury ; the seconds then declared that enough had been done
by both parties, and the principals left the ground without
explanation, or having had any direct communication
with each other in the affair.—littnipshiee Telegraph.
Last week a pigeon shooting match took place at Massie,
betwixt Lord Kennedy and Captain Ross—twenty-five
birds a-side, and the firing with ball. Only one bird fell
within the distance. It was shot by Lord Kennedy, and
decided the match in his favour. The bet is said to have
been trifling.
HYDE PARK CORNER.—The workmen have so far ad-1
vaneed in their labours, as to give tbe spectators a faint
idea of the intended arch. which will he the King's-gate
into the Gardens of the New Palace; to this will be at-
tached an lonic Lodge, of Portland stone. Contiguous
thereto will he another Lodge of the same materials, for
the Park-keeper. The first, be it observed, will be occu-
pied by his Majesty's servants. The opening of the Tri-
umphal Arch in Hyde Park will be from thirty to thirty-
five feet high, supported by sixteen circular columns, with
lonic capitals. The whole is expected to be finished its
November next.
The King's new palace in St. James's Park is to be built
fire-proof, upon the plan of the late Earl Stanhope.
On the 2.lth ult. Miss Margaretta Maria Downes, of
Fircourt, Chnrchstoke, Montgomeryshire, safely under*
went the hundred and ninth operation of tapping fur the
dropsy.
The advancements of science have contributed very ma-
terially to the aid of benevolence, and in no instance more
strikingly than in the excursions to the Nore by means of
steam-vessels. This day, we understand, that the Fa-
vourite will leave the Tower on a trip of pleasure, to en-
hance the funds of Pell-street Charity School, establtshed
112 years, for the Clothing and Educating 40 Poor Chil-
dren. If any thing could add to the enjoyment of the
voyage, it would be the consideration that while the party
is enjoying the splendid objects around them, they are con-
; tributing to the advancement of knowkdge, and the ame-
lioration of the prasure of poverty.
