the NI until aittrarif iroti toil sloe who
knows any thing about the ehorotter Of this. Noble-
man, will readily acknowledge that he. is one of*,
lost wen in the world who would wimp to such
unworthy means of obtaining so sdv,o . But
what adraatage, inconsistent with the cause of trod%
wisdom, and justice, could the friends of the =en-
sure hope front delay? If by the delay of a for
days the attendance of Members in the House
of Lords should become fuller, w then not •

greeter likelihood of thence obtaining more satis-
factorily the sense of the Legislature ? and. Lord
Dosooogisosa avowed that this was hie prin-
cipal if not his only object. The strenuous
enemies of this Bill will certainly not be di-
minished by the circumstance, for ■ few days
CAI make but little difference to them if they are
already in lowa, while they must necessarily afford
them, if in the cooutry, the same opportaitity of
attending is penes' at the discussion as they offer
to the friends of the measure. Besides, this is a
(iodation, up oo which Peers may vote by proxy.
Hoy, therefore, can a short delay possibly give aoy
unfair advantage, to the friends of the Bill, velem
indeed it be considered an unfair advantage that
the question should be datermined by mot who
here ectoally.lsonst sad weighed the arguments!.
they may be urged ea both aides, and not by the
votes of individuals w►o have placed their ender-

noble ftieadv, or have formed their resolotioos upon
the sirbject previous to discussion, and wholly inde-
!resident of the force of reasoning or the power of
eloquence.

We lately noticed some statements in the flocs-
jag (*rollick concerning liu►sia and Turkey,

nod charging the farmer of these Powers with

exciting an insorrection in the lonian Islands.
The pluis of these ►tatemeuts has been denied
by site of the Alinimelial Journals, but the
contradiction antonets only to mere assertion
without proofs. We have received copies of letters
addressed to two Members of the House of Com-
. noes*, whiel►. if authentic, would set the matter at
rest, and fully expleiti the statements in the
Morning Chroniek. It is admitted that great
agitation prevails in the lonian Islands, but they
attribute it to the misgovernment of Sir THOMAS
M,►aTLaND, and our Correspondent asserts that
the statements in the Morning Chronicle, imputing
the discontent to foreign agency, have been in.
