LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1526.

The result of the insurrection of the Janissaries has
been such as every friend of true principles must have de-
sired. They have been subdued, and in future the
Turkish armies will be organized like those of civilized
Europe. It is not necessary for us to say that we wish sin-
cerely for the success of the Greek cause; but, while we
wish for the success of the Greeks, we cannot forget
the claims of the Turks. IVe wish to see Turkey power-
ful, but we certainly do not wish to sec her in a condition
to oppress Greece; and it is now many mold's since we
stated, in express terms, that the dangers arising from
Russia would force Turkey to adopt the European disci-
pline. The Turkish army will, in future, become more
than a match for the Russian ; but it will not be able to
assume that character soon enough to prevent the virtual
emancipation of Greece. The conflicting interests of this
country, respecting the Creek question, will thus at length
be reconciled, and nothing will remain to prevent our full
concurrence in favour of a nation which 'othing but the
most imperative necessity would ever have prevented us
from assisting. The Times is completely mistaken in its
view of the revolution at Constantinople, which, unfortu-

nately for its importance, did not appear first in the
columns of that Journal. The insurrection was not one of
those ordinary occurrences which have often taken place in
Turkey. It was nothing less than the completa destruction
of a system of barbarism in that country, and the opening
of an era in which we shall no longer be ashamed of calling
tl►e Turks our allies. lire should be far from rejoicing at
this result, if it were likely to be injurious to the Greeks;
but we are well assured that such will not be its effect.
The news from Greece begins again to become interesting,
and we beg to call the attention of our readers to the ex-
tracts which we subjoin, as well as to the new regulations
respecting tl►e Janissaries, in anotherpart of our Paper.
iFrom the Eicilc, dated Thursday, July 13.1
BUCHAREST, JUNE 22.

The Turkish Commissioners have passed through this city, with
two Dragomans and a numerous suite, on their way to the con-
ferences at Ackermann ; they proceeded to Jassy, without stopping
a moment in this city.

PERA, JtrNE 18.
After some details already known, relative to the insurrection of
the Janissaries, are the following :
The displaying of the standard of Mahomet having caused many
of the rebels to leave them, the remainder, to the number of 12,000,
retreated to the barracks. The Aga Paella laid siege to them and
set them on fire. The Chief then surrendered, and the others were
put to the sword. In the evening fifty commanders of ortas were
strangled. On Friday the Aga Paella followed up his success,
On Saturday, all the .TaniAssries, who Ind long been marked, were
arrested, and it was forbidden to harbour any under pain of death ;
the markets were opened, and the Aga Puha was made Khan. A
Ilatti Sherif, approved by the Uletnas,was prnelaimed,ordering the

name of Jani +stairs to be henceforth erased from the books of the
Empire. Forty-three Chiefk of the Jannicaries, who remained faith-
ful, have received employments analogous to their rank. On Sun-
day morning drummers, were sent fur from Pere, to begin to prat•
tice the European method. Perfect security prevails at Pere and
in all Constantinople. _ .

We read in a journal, it is affirmed that the plan of Lord Coch.
rane have been communicated to personsof greatdistinction at Paris

It is said to be intended to restore the order of Malta, which has
always been recol,mized by all the treaties, but never established.
This great design is to commence with the taking of Rhodes. MI
the gr.at families in Europe who entered into that illustrious order
will eagerly come forward to co operate in that noble enterprise.
Religion and humanity will have equal reason to rejoice at seeing
these valiant knights watch for the safety of Christendom, in the
Mediterranean, which is now the theatte of so many disorders and
crimes.

[From Galignani's Messenger.]

PARIS, JuLY 12.

We are sorry to find that Talmes indisposition has assumed a
most serious aspect. His malady is a violent inflammation of the
bowels. A rumour prevailed yesterday upon 'Change, that this
great actor was dead; lie was certainly alive at ten o'clock last
night, and hopes are still entertained of his recovery.

A Dutch Mail has brought us the Ilamburgh Papers to
the Bth July. We subjoin a few extracts.

HANOVER, JULY 4.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are gone to-day to the
baths of Pynsont, to which place their children have been sent be-
fore them. Prince William of Prussia is also at I'ymont.
A Greek urn has lately been dug up near Bremen.

BERLIN, JULY 5.

On the proposal of Srontiol, and with the approbation of his
Majesty, the opera of Froschutz will be performed at the Theatre
Royal for the benefit of Weber's widow and children.

We have received accounts from New Orleans, dated the
20th May. Cotton was then in moderate demand, and
continued steady at its former prices. We subjoin the fol-
lowing extract of a letter from that town :

NEW ORLEANS, MAY 20, 182 G.

The Mississippi, opposite the city, may now he considered at ex-
treme high-water mark, it having risen a little every day since our
last ; and from the various accounts received by steam-boats lately
from Louisville, we have reason to expect there w;11 be a tur„
thee swell for a few days. In the mean time, should the weather
change, and become wet and windy, it is very doubtful whether
the Levee would not give way in many places, and cause great de.
strurtion among the planters on the margin of the river. During
the forepart of the week ont.door business was much interrupted
by heavy showers and wind, causing sales and shipments to be
comparatively small. Gur market tat present is rather languid, and
ditThrs but little from our last quotations.

It is expected that some specific measure will be pro- j
posed to Ministers by the manufacturing interest, at the
meeting of his Majesty's Council, which takes place next
week, to consider the best means of remedying the existing
distress. We are not of opinion that merchants or manu-
facturers, or any class of men practically engaged in any
particular business, art: the persons best adapted to give ad-
vice respecting the proper method of conciliating differences
of interests in their own department. As to any proposition
which may be made, of adopting partial measures for this
particular occasian, we should consider it extremely futile
and short-sighted, if not pernicious in the extreme. If it
be possible to trace the distress of the country to the free
trade system, and if it can be shewn that this system will
continue to operate in the same way, the manufacturers
should come forward at once, and denounce the system, not
in their own department only, but in every department.
For our parts, we deny entirely the connexion of the
distress with free trade as a system, and we even maintain
that the re-enactment of the restrictive laws would increase
the distress. The adoption of the free trade system
was, no doubt, in part, the cause of the suffering in
the manufacturing districts ; but it produced that ef-
fect, not from any thing in the system itself, hut from
the temporary excitement which arose in consequence
of it. This effect is similar to what we witness every day
in common life. A man who has been long confined does
not at first know how to use his liberty. The manufacturers,
hastening to take advantage of the expected markets which
were to be opened to them in consequence of the free trade
system, einployel labour enough to supply the markets for
two or three years instead of one ; and that excess of stock
must now be disposed of, before employment can be ob-
tained for their workmen in the same line. There was also,
not many months ago, a great abundance of capital, or
rather of credit, in the country. That capital or credit
being, in fact, creator than was necessary for the supply of
the different wants of the people, was employed in many
cases in unprofitable speculations ; and thus again the
market was overstocked with goods of all descriptions. A
clearer proof could not easily be ailduc.al that mere labour
is not wealth if not employed ott things useful. If a man
builds a house, he does so in the expectation of a profit on
his money superior to what he could obtain by piea
lug it at interest. The sum of money which he expends
on it is, therefore, less than would be required to ob-
tain an annuity equal to the rent of the house. When
the house is built, therefore, he may obtain on its
security a sum equal to that which ki expended upon it,
and may from its rents pay both the interest of his own
money and that which he has since borrowed, and, per-
haps, obtain a small profit besides. Nothing prevents him
with the borrowed money from building another house ;
I .
and it is obvious, then, that he would have intetest for his

original money, and, at the same time, would enjoy the
excess of the rents of both houses above the common inte-
rest which he could have had on his capital. Having two
houses, he might borrow the value of the two, and might
erect two others, and so on, in geometrical progression, ad
iafinitum.These houses are as much wealth as gold or silver ;
and it is no wonder if golden dreams have arisen from
crude notions of this sort. Unfortunately, houses are use-
less without tenants; and the speculators in building
would have done well if they had calculated more accu-
rately the probabilities of the increase of population. This
instance of building may serve as a specimen of the effl.cts
of that disproportionate attention which has been paid by
speculators to less important objects. The increase of the
means of subsistence is the only method by which specu-
lations in other branches can be rendered beneficial ; and
to that the labour of the operative, the capital of the
master, the measures of the statesman, and the skill of the
philosopher, ought at this moment to be directed, with an
energy proportionate to that which has been exerted on less
important objects. However numerous the mistakes may
be in other (It partments, it is here that the fault lies at
present; and till something be done in this respect, by em-
ploying the labour of the poor and the capital of the rich
in agricultural improvements, we see but two alternatives—
emigration, or hopeless dependence on foreign countries.
In writing thus, we hope that we are not considered as
writing merely to fill a few lines of a journal. We coital-
der ourselves as fulfilling a public duty in submitting our
ideas to public examination ; and if they are founded in
truth, we shall regret it as sincerely as any, should the
people have anything more to stiffer before it acknowledges
their accuracy.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

Stock transactions have been of a very dull anti heavy
nature to-day, and the advance to 781 of yesterday for the
Account was reduced, at the close of the market, to 781 I,
and for August to 781. Foreign Stock is still further on
the decline, Mexican being 40,1,, and Colombian 26. It is
strongly supposed that the interest on the Colombian, due
to-morrow, will not be paid. In the Course of Exchanges
there is no alteration.
Letters from Zante of the 13th June, 1826, give a very
depbrable account of the state of the Greek Government.
At any other period than the present, these accounts would
have been very discouraging; but the character of the war
in Greece is about to assume a new feature. How Lord
Cochrane may be enabled to overcome the disgraceful con-
tentions in the Government of the people whom he goes t 9
succour, time can only chew. It is quite clear that he has
taken the command under the full knowledge of the pecu-
niary difficulties under which the Greek Government
labour, and therefore, on that point, Iris reliance is trot on
them. No doubt he has undertaken the command inde-
pendent of all control; indeed, from the nature of the
operations he will have to direct, it will be impossible but
such must be the case. We do most sincerely believe, that
those who admire Lord Cochrane least, will admit that his
bravery is only excelled by his masterly judgment in every
thing that relates to naval:tactics ; and we feel assured that
if the independence of Greece is to be aided and as-
sisted by nautical means, Lord Cochrane is the fittest man
living to have the direction of them. How much depends
upon the life of one man being spared in the approaching
strife !

The Galatea frigate arrived at Portsmouth with des-
patches yesterday, having left the llarannah on the 20th
ult. ; she had previously been at Carthagena, but; does not
bring any later advice' from thence than are contained in
the Caracas Papers of the Ist June, which we noticed
yesterday.
Letters from Manchester state the daily and hourly in-
crease of distress in that neighbourhood ; and considerable
apprehension is felt by many of the manufacturers for their
own personal safety, in consequence of the necessity which
has been imposed upon them of closing their manufactories.
We, however, trust these fears will not turn out to be well
founded.

Count Woronzow and the Marquis De Ribeaupicrre
have just left this capital to proceed to Ackermann, in lk s-
sarabia, as the Emperor's Plenipotentiaries, to carry on the
negotiations with the Turkish Plenipotentiaries, Lud Me-
hemet Daddi Effendi and Lud Ibr.thim Effendi, in conse-
quence of the complete adherence of the Porte to the
demands of Russia, and for the final arrangements of the
relations of peace and amity between the two Powers.—
Jos,rnal de St. Pet, rAurgh, June 27...

Some new rigttlations[tO be embodied, we understand,
in an Order of Council, are in progress, by which foreign
silks will be kept out of the market; or, at all events, a fair
protection given to our own manufactures for some time
longer, without at all compromising the principles of free
trade. _ _

_ .
IRON TRADE.—The quarter day, at Dudley, on Sa.
turday last, was but indifferently attended ; very little bit
ainess was transacted, and albeit, though the cheer of mine
hosts at the Arms and the Bush was excellent, the spirits
of the visitors were not to be coaxed into hilarity : the " one
thing needful" was exceedingly scarce, and in its absence
everything seemed " stale, fiat, and unprofitable." Trade
is assuredly still declining in this neighbourhood, and I
much fear in a few months it will be seriously felt by the
operatives. Iron, for ready money, may be had at any
price.
GLOVE TRADE.—We are happy to find that it is the
opinion of many persons engaged in the glove trade, that
the supply which the French manufacturers can send to
England will be very limited. Upon the whole, therefore,
we think appearances are somewhat favourable fur the
English manufacturer.—Woreester Journal.
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY, Juev 13.—Our Cotton Mar-
ket very dull and flat indeed ; the sales will barely amount
to more than 3,500 to 4,000 bags. A better demand for
British Plantation Sugar, and more money asked for
brown Sugars.
Ear rN styli FORGER' L s,—A man named George Wat-
son, who has been carrying on what is called a " preiotis
game' in dilFerent parts of the kingdom, for the last two
years, has been lately pursued by the police, at the in-
stance of Mr. Gates, the Solicitor to the Committee of
Bankers for protection against Forgery, and was appre-
hended at Newark on Friday last. He lived in the great-
est style, drove in his own carriage, anti was accompanied
by a female of dashing appearance, whom he passed upon
people as his wife. In going through the country he pre-
tended to be a ship-owner, and exiensive in the timber
trade. The moment he made his appearance at an inn he
was in the habit of kicking up a great dust with his im-
portance, and exhibited papers and parchments in such a
manner as to excite great curiosity as well as perfect re-
liance upon his respectability. Ile, by this appearance of
solvency, used to succeed with innkeepers, with whom his
general plan was to throw down a check for a large amount
upon a banking-house, and to ask fur SW. or 901. upon it,
if the landlord was not in possession of the whole amount
of the order. After the disappearance of Watson, it was
5-:011 ascertained that the check was a forgery. His success
was wonderful. When he was apprehended, he had about
him a large quantity of blank checks of the Carlisle, the
'Tunbridge %Veils, the Portsmouth, and other banks.—
Upon being brought before a Magistrate on one of the
charges of forgery which had been committed in Darby-
shire, be was asked whetlitr he had any thing to say in his
defence—" I have been (said he) in this way until I am
actually tired of it. The bill is a forgery in every one of
its parts, and I shall save all parties a great deal of trouble
by pleading guilty."—lle was fully committed for trial to
Derby gaol.
