GERMAN PAPERS.

VIENNA, strrement 4.

The following article from the Spiitalest Oriental of
Smyrna, contains interesting accounts and oh lions on
the present slate or things in the Turkish Empire. The
Editors of that Paper are in a situation particularly well
calculated to overlook the scene of action, and many pas-
sages in this Paper chew that they are sufficiently independent
to represent things as they appear to them. Their views in
particular points may be erroneous, and of course we du not
implicitly agree with them, but they deserve to be maturely
cussidtred. At all events, these anicics are infinitely more
valuable than all those with which, for sonic mouths past,
many European, and particularly German juurnala, deceive
the public. Never, perhaps, have the journals more grossly
abu►ed their melancholy privilege of leading the who'e read-
ing mass of the liaison from untruth to untruth, from error
to error, than since the commencement of the Greek twine.-
rertitm. This remark is perhaps addressed for the present
to deaf ears; perhaps thou may be one day renirmheleil
when the pa►oaysm of the fever is passed.

LONDON,
TUESDAY, SEPTgMBER 18, 1821.

The Paris Papers of Friday last seem to speak
with less uncertainty of the continuance of peace
between Russia and Turkey than those of the
preceding day, but the intelligence which they
contain in general is still of a chequered nature,
and presents the probabilities of peace and war to
our slew with most impartial indifference. The
prevailing impression, however, in Vienna and
Paris, is decidedly in favour of peace, founded as
it is said upon • new declaration, addressed by the
Emperor ALEXANDER to the various Courts of
Europe, in which he breathes a most pacific spirit,
mid evinces the utmost moderation of sentiment.
This declaration indeed was issued before the an.
swer transmitted by the Turkish Divan to the Ca-
binet of St. Petersburg!) had reached that capital,
and though couched in moderate terms, yet urged
the same demands respecting the political condition
of Moldavia and Wallachia, and the security of
the Christian warship in the dominions of the Porte,
as were contained in the first document known,
whether erroneously or not, as the Russian whines-
tum. Its importance therefore is limited to a new
expression of the ERIPREOR'S pacific principles,
for it leaves untouched the matters in dispute be-
tween the rival governments, and is of course si-
lent respecting the effect which may be produced
by the answer of the Divan. This declaration,
which it must be admitted makes its appearance at
a very strange moment, is said to have been sug-
gested by the sentiments of the several great Powers
of Europe, who have intimated to the Emperor
ALEXANDER their opinions upon the danger of
renewing a war in Europe. fits MAJESTY'S senti-
ments are said to have accorded with these, and it
was to avow this happy concurrence that this new
declaration was published.

Should this paragraph in the Journal des Debits
be correct, we may believe that the Emperor
ALEXANDER will not quarrel with the terms of
the Turkish note if they be such in effect as we
noticed yesterday; but it may still offer souse dif-
ficulties to the rival Cabinets to determine the
fitness or sufficiency of the guarantees which sill
he required from Turkey fur the fulfilment of her
engagements.

In the mean time we are informed that the Em-
peror ALEXANDER has actually left Petersburgh
for Odessa. It will be recollected that all the re-
cent accounts from Odessa concur in representing
the arrival of the Emperor in that town as the ex-
pected signal for the commencement of hostilities.
Rumours prevailed in Paris. that Saragossa has
been the scene of some serious disturbances, the ob-
ject of which was to give a more republican chew-
ter to the institutions of Spain. It is said that
Risco was at the bead of the alleged conspiracy,
and that the project being discovend, some of tee
conspirators had been arrested, and that [Woo had
fled. 'I hese events were said to have taken place
in Saragossa on the 30th August, but there is se
notice of them whatever in Madrid Papers down is
the 3d of September. RIEGO is said, in one of the
Madrid Papers, to have left Sarsgos.a for Lower
Arragon, but the motive of his jouniey is saikte
he a desire to confirm publ.r in faro., a
the existing order of affairs.

suswastre the matte peVrteeiro of mina; the Storni
childish jealousy of politer which prompted the pre.
sent Ministers to insult the Nobility of England by
removing Earl 111yriwit.s.lass from his Lieutenantcy;
and to disgrace thellsOlves by their more recent di.-
missal of Sir Rowswr &mei from tit'e ccinniand
of the Police of the Metropolis ? The rouduc t
his Msaitslt's present Ministers has at least tlse
merit of consistency. They will not suffer any pug
lion of power, however limited or remote, to retba.a
in the hands of individuals who shall venture tr
question their wisdom or prudence ; and as the re•
moral of Lord FITZWILLIAM and of Sir itosEati
BAILER from their offices most offer a lesson to the
Magistrates of the kingdom upon the danger of evinc:
ing may doubts of ministerial wisdom, so will the
dismissal of Lord Flls from the Bedchamber, anti
of Sir R. WILSON from the army, hold out a hint
to Members of the House of Commons, whethe,
holding civil or military appointments, that thee
shall not presume to express an opinion in Par-
liament opposed to the oracles of the Treasury
benches.

We have understood that the Ministers entertain
a suspicion that the obstacles so perseveringly op.;
posed by the people on the day of the Queues
funeral, to the progress of the procession along the
route prescribed by the Ministers, owed their origin
and effect to the plans and suggestions of Sir
ROBERT WILSON ; and upon this suspicion, with.
out inquiry, and particularly without affording to
the suspected individual en opportunity of denying
or refuting the suspicion, the Ministers have pro.
ceeded to punish him in the severest manner. This
matter was noticed, as we are informed, in a very
singular way on Siturday last at Hammersmith.
where a meeting of Magistrates was held for the pur-
pose of granting licenses of publicans. The Ma-
gistroes were R. CLEtlalt, Esq. S. SKETEBLEY,Esq.
J. HANSON, Esq. and (specially) R. BIRNIE, Esq.
We have beard that some difficulty was experienced
on the renewal of the annual licenses by those pub.
licans who were suspected to be attached to her
late MAJESTY, or in any way connected with the
popular feeling of respect paid to her memory on
the day of her loners!. One of the publicans in
particular was subjected to a rigorous examina-
tion touching • meeting that was held at his
house on the evening previous to the day of
her MAJESTY'S funeral, and at which, as the
Ministers were informed, Sir ROBIRT WILSON
had attended. The tavern-keeper declared the
Sir ROBERT WILSON h■d not been in his house;
that the meeting was, in the fullest extent of the
word, a public one ; and, as a proof of it, some of
the Gentlemen connected with the public Press at-
tended, and reported the proceedings. This
statement the tavern-keeper was obliged to attest
upon oath. Another person is suid to have been
examined upon the Same subject, and an intima-
tion was given that some further proceedings would
be bad respecting it. A sense of justice would
have taught the Ministers to have withheld this se.
vere expression of their displeasure towards Sir
ROBERT WILSON until the result of their further
proceedings had clearly shewn how far their suspi-
cions of his conduct were justified by truth.

The licenses of several publicans along the line
of the Quern's funeral procession have been im-
pended by the licensing Magistrates, without as-
signing any reason whatever. The publicans are
not aware of their having offended against any law,
or of having committed any act which could warrant
so severe a proceeding. Should the measure be the
result of say vindictive feelings arising Got of the
conduct of the public-Om in the Queen's ewe, the
matter cannot be suffered to pose without beiric
made the *object of an inquiry in Perlis Reel.
