We are in great expectation of what will happen
when a Reggie° negoeiator shun take an imine-

The arrival of a new Ranieri Ambassador at Con-

negociations, which the Cabinets intend to carry
on wiib the Porte. So far from these negncia,
tions being to be considered as ended by the

'Nat'l in a solid and durable manner, the sole
condition of which seems to be, that by a rea-
sonable appreciation and consideration of the
wishes and the wants of Christians subject to the
Mahometsu sceptre, their interests may be made to
-agree with that of the-Porte, and the dictates of
justice and humsnity in Turkey be United with
policy.
It is affirmed that the decisicin of the Vienna
Congress, relative to the integrity of the territory
of the Sublime Porte in Europe, is confirmed in its
full extent by the latest negociations of the great
European Cabinets, so that there can be no question
of any partition of European Turkey iu favour of
individual Powers, or of the es.ablishment of iudepen-
dent States in the Turkish dominions. On the other
hood we hear that the views of all the European
Cabinets sire in con.idering the situation of the
Chtistian nations 'ruder the Turkish dominion as
callable of great ameliaration,andit is even thought
that ilia not impossible to make these ameliorations
agree with the political interest of the Porte, and
that it ough►, therefore to be attempted.
If the Turkish Government is convinced that the
maintenance of the integrity of the European pos-
sessions of the Porte is to the joint interest of the
great Powers of Christendom, it will abandon its
suspicions of them, and will be the more disposed
to listen to their proposals, as they hare no other
object think to establish the dominion of the Porte
more firm than heretofore. It is added that offers
will be made to the Porte by all the mediating
Christian Powers to guarantee the future security of
its dominions.—Nuremberg Correspondent, June at 4.

Letters from Beres, Bitaglia, and Salonichi, all
agree in confirming the news of a defeat sustained
by Chourschid Paella. News arrived yesterday at
Belgrade, that the troops of the Pacha of Salonichi,
which had advanced as far as Trikals, were driven
back on the 27th of May by the united Greek
Commanders, Odysseus and Diamanti, after which
Trikala was taken by storm by Diamanti, and all
the Turks and Jews in the place put to the sword.
Another such blow, and the expected expedition of
the Captain Pacha to the Mores will probably not
be very successful. This shelve also how important
the diversion in Mitylene is. It seems, however,
that 30,000 Asiatic, are still stationed near Larissa,
as an army of reserve. A great battle may there-
fore be expected, and the general attention of the
Greeks is directed to the events in that quarter.

We have received letters from Joannina, of 28th
May, by which we see that the Albanians took
severe revenge for the perfidy of Chourachid Podia,
who withheld from them the promised treasures of
Ali Pacha. They entered into negociations, and
Chourachid gave them six months pay in advance.
Being afterwards led against the Greeks, they
deserted Chourachid in troops, and he was obliged
hastily to retreat to Joannina, after having sustained
great loss from the Greeks at Kard ai. He can
never depend on the Albanians. He is said to be
extremely angry with the Eogliah negociators,
who induced the Albanitny to make the above con-
vention. At Joannins every thing was quiet, only
provisions of every kind were extremely dear.—

The Paris Papers up to Wednesday lest ha►e
been received at our Office. They contain uo
domestic news of any interest. The intelligence
from Spain, which, as usual, forms a prominent port
of their contents, confirms the previous accounts of
the KING'S intended return to Madrid, on the 27th
list.
—.,—.

It will be seen in the Advertisement in the front
of our Paper, that the Subscriptions received by the
Committee et the City of London 'Tavern for the
relief of the distress in Ireland, amount to upwards
of I 17,0001. The melancholy situation of Ireland
has been unfortunately long before the eyes of the
British public, and esti, upon their benevolence may
be expected, from the constitution of human nature,
to lose their influence by repetition. The moat ge-
nerous heart, environed with wants at home, not
knowing the end to those cruel sufferings in Ire-
land, may sink in despondency from inability to
answer interminable appeals. We wish to rtlieve the
generous and humane from this painful feeling.
They may rest aesured that the ensuing six weeks
embrace the crisis of the most aggravated distress
in Ireland. and that if the threatened horrors
of that interval can be alleviated by their ex-
ertions, the great masse of the population in
the distressed districts, however thinned and reduced
by famine and disesse, may be yet preserved. The
accOdgt! of this dire calamity with which the Sister
blared iews,been visited are not exaggerated. They
mei savour of a morbid imagination, but, unfortu-
nately they fall short of the reality. One great in..
&nate to perseverance remains. A prompt, ape! eimul-
tatieous effort may complete the God-like work of
preservation, and supersede the necessity of fur-

thrr exertion. Flow enviable mast be the

of those individuals who have taken on active pipit
in stemming the tide of calamity. when reposing
from their ardoutis labours they lay their heads ution
their pillows, and reflect upon the immensity of
human, suffering prevented by their generous ex-
ertions

the bleigy every where yield a cheerful ob►di-
ence to the Ktno's letter; recommending sirmons
to be preached iu the several churches for the bene-
fit of the distressed peasantry io Ireland. The fol-
lowing cases, in which the eloquence of the pulpit
has been successfully exerted in this most urgent
Ind meritorious cause, are copied froth the Stamford
Mercury:—
Tins week the Ministers and Churchwardens of the al:
parishes is Stamford have been engird in joiag from horse
to house soliciting suiiscriptions fur the famishing peassatry
of Ireland. From present soccer., it is expected that shoot
1501. will be raised. la AM Saint's parish alone, we under.
stand, upwards, of 401. has bees collected.
Collected, on pAtday lest, for the Irish pone, at Slealurd
church, after a 'sermon by the vicar, 19f. 14s. lid. The
Rev. Dr. Yerbuigh, additional, 5/.
Oa Sandy last a sermon was preached's( STeltou Sipe-
bray, by the Rev. J. T. Shirklige, on behalf of the distress-
ed Irish, and a collection was made on the fallowing daY
amounting to upwards of SOL, which wu immediately re-
mitted to the London Committee.

A strinon was preached on Sunday last, for the relief of
the distressed Irish, at Lea, near Gainsboro', when a liberal
collection was made, amounting to 27/. and upwards. Up.
wards of 401. bas been collected at lillerocastle for the like
benevolent purpose, and 1431. has already been remitted
from Lincoln.

These cases may afford an idea of the active
spirit of benevolence in Lincolnshire. The ot'•er
provincial papers received at our Office abound
with similar accounts from their respective neigh-
bourhoods. July and August have been anxiously
looked forward to as the period of extreme distress.
This then is the moment for increased exertions.
Famine cannot be put off for a season. Delay is
certain death. Hope cannot sustain a body emaci-
ated by hunger and disease.

We noticed yesterday the violent storm of thun-
der and lightning with which the metropolis was
visited on the preceding night ; it continued at in-
tervals until last morning about I I o'clock, when
the thunder resumed its violence, accompanied by a
dense and heavy torrent of rain. We have not
heard of any damage done by this visitation, and it
has been productive of much good. The metro.
polls, which had been burned up with the heat and
choked with dust, is now cleared of all this encum-
brance and oppression, and we breathe a cool and
pure atmosphere. From the scantiness of the grass,
in consequence of the long drought, fresh butter
had risen a penny in the pound, and other articles
of provision, affected by the same cause, might be
expected to rise in proportion. All these articles
will, we presume, remain upon their former level.

Yesterday, at three o'clock, his MAJESTY held a
Prod et his Palace in Pall Mall, which was attend-
ed by—
The Archbishop of Conlerbory, the Lord President of the

The Loan M•Y011 culled a Special Court of
Aldermen nn Thursday. " to consider the Bill now
pending in Parliament for regulating the fund called
the Orphans' Fund;" but for want of a sufficient
number of Aldermen a Court could not be formed,
and his Lordship has called another Court for the
purpose on Tuesday next. His Lordship has also,
in conformity to a Requisition for that purpose, ap-
pointed • Court of Common Council for Thursday
next, to receive the Report of the Committee of
General Purposes, relative to the Orphans' Fund,
end to consider the Bill new pending in Parliament
relative thereto. •

The light horse volunteers had another field-day
on Thursday, and underwent a further inspection in
Hyde-Park. The review this ;jay at Wormwood
Scrubs is expected to be the finest military spec-
tacle we have had for a long %bile.
The royal horse guards had a field-day on Thurs-
day morning at Wormwood Scrubs. It is said that
a cavalry brigade is to be reviewed there shortly;
but we believe the regiments quartered in the vici-
nity are merely to assist at the review of the light
horse volunteers.
