Since the return of Prince de ltletternich terry incurs have been
mull to trar.quillizz the public mind at Vienna, and to raise the me.
talligues.
• A letter from Bucharest *Enema that tl. de 31irziccky. aupported
by theintrrounan, had obtained from the Reis Effendi more ample
and amicable lastmetions, and which were 5?1:t to Akerthann
before the tire at Constantii.ople, the r.frect of which, it was hoped,
would be a resumption of the neget!ati•tr% between the two Courts.
But mere instructions from the ( %tit, is !ircre.a..l for

•It is • definitive mower from the Sultan hinmlf. or at least the
Brand Vizier, that is expected oo the 7-Is of O.:tuber next.

that on the 7.11 of October the Porte nil, purely nod tern, ly,

' A despatch trout M. de Metternich has been sent to the In-

•the Porte into an adoption of that course. It is expected that the

what grounds are there for entertainiog such It I.one ? Finally. one
other version has been published at Vie mat out repeated in the L'ai-

The great importance of our Indian empire is too gene-
ral!y admitted to require any proof. Whatever may have
Leen urged by these who maintain the propriety of confin-
ing out empire to our insular possesdons, it is certain that !
it is necessary, in order to increase the tnarket fur our ma-
nufactures, that India should approximate to Europe in
manners, or at Last in wants. It is desirable on this ac-
count, as well as for the improvement of the Hindus them-
selves, that India should remain, for some time, under
European supremacy ; and it would be extremely disad-
vantageous to this country if any other nation were in
possession of that supremacy. Every thing, therefore,
should be done to secure this portion of our dominions.
It is useless to expect that the Hindus, cr any other na-
►ion, can ever be placed in a state in which no subject of
discontent could occur. The present race of Bcngalese,
accustomed to live under a mild and equitable government,
secure in their persons and property, ignorant of that state
of debasement in which they formerly lived, and already
locking upon the land as their own which was formerly the
property of their rulers, are no longer in the same situa-
tion as theirlathera, who hailed the introduction of British
authority as a relief from the most pernicious of systems.
The slight evils incident to every system begin to appear
to the present generation in a more formidable light. They
forget, in paying their taxes, that they had formerly to pay
rents to their governors. Relieved from oppression,
thvy begin sometimes to feel uneasy under necessary
authority ; and, were it not for the characteristic pa-
tience of their nation, they might have carried the
won:Ales, discontents thus festered by them, in com-
mon with every nation under every government, to
trefull extent which some writers appear to anticipwe
v.ith pleasure; and might have rit, ti against their foreign
benefactors in favour of a native tyrant.. Such is human
nature, even among the Hindus; and it is the duty of our
Statesmen .o treat them as beings who share our nature—
to calculate on their passions and weaknesacs as well es
their good qualities—to convince them that they possess an
interest in the continuance of our power—to identify them
in some measure with our Government—and to remove all
unnecessary distinctions or injurious regulations which
may it. any way contribute to alienate them from our
sovereignty. In all this, uo doubt, considerable progress!
has been made; but something still remains to be done.
As his Majesty's Government is convinced dial no trade
can be p•:rmar.ently beneficial which is not roundel! on the
basis of reciprocal advantage, so they ars well aware that
no Government, either at Jima or Ahmed, eau secure its
'Own interests without promoting those of the governeil.

I pressed on the minds of her povernors. It would be ridiculous
to establish in India a system of free Governinent that
of England ; but we doubt not that our increasing Sc-'
(penitence with the menners of the Hindus will enable
us to make several important alterations, some of which
are already in progress. It would he for the interest of
England that ev ry Hindu should be able to live as com-
fortably as an English peasant; because, in that case, there
would be a wide► market for our productions. In the
mean time, those who would persuade us that India is in
a state of the most horrible oppression—those who take
(7:ems's harangues against VsitnEs as their text-book,
merely changing the names—however necessary they may
timid the assumption for their eloqueneqtertilnly do not
found their reasoning on any knowledge Of PO, or on any
consideration of the real feelings of the people of India. A
clear proof of this is cantainel in the Missionary Chronicle
of this month—an authority which cannot be justly sus-
pected of political partiality, however much it may be open
to the charge of weakness in other particulars. IVe copy
the passage:—
I AteGUMENT OT PANNEURCE• THE NATIVE TEACIIER.

"Chitlith, after preaching at the maiket•pluce, in a• swering some
of the objections brought against the Goyim!, the following argu-
ment of the native preacher seemed wonderfully to satisfy and
please them (the Hinduv):—• You see. bre.hrem' said Itamlntr.
rte, • since the English came into the country, ycur ietnp,ral cir-
cumstances have berm much intp•ovett. Vint know what a wilder.
ness surroutidtd us ; what acts of outrage and injitstice were tinily
cammitted ; but now you behold excellent roads nude to facilitate
intercourse; you see seats of justice in the various districts, Hutu-
kcildars (or peace calkers) stationtd in every village, to keep your
property and lives in safety ; and can ynti al:pposr that the persons
who have thus disinterestedly labnitred to promote your present
welfare ara come to deceive and injure you, in reference to a
fature world? Rather judge that those who have thus exerted
themselves to promote your temporal prisptril are also come to
show unto you the way of salvation.' "

This is the language of a native speaking to other
natives. The argument must have been used by ReM-
nr►:aee as the most likely to make an impression on his
auditors; and the effect which it produced appears to show
that lie hail judged correctly. We place this testimony,
therefore, in opposition to the attacks of the Orientu:
If.lv/d, and leave the qutstion to be determined cn tba:
basis.

What a miserable prosptct for the country ! All the
bobbles burst ! All the pushing Gentlemen left without a
single scheme to push! All the gudgeons left wbhout a
fly to gape at! How many Auttest, nay /entourette, gentle-
men must feel like fish out of water, deserted as they are
by the stream of speculation which had so long rolled over
them ! Now that all the minor projects are blown off,
why not start a new South-Sea scheme, or a Charitable
Corporation? But these are old names, and would not
take. Mr. Wit.ss's scheme of a Grand Provincial Bank
is far more eligible, and, with some new Honourable or
Noble names at its head, instead of ‘VILKS and his asso-
ciates, it really seems to us extremely likely to sueceed, at
a time when so much of the circulating medium is locked
up. As to the Branch Banks of the B ink of England,
they must be discouraged, because they would afford no
vent for our surplus capital—no object for the speculating
mania which, in the present state of the country, is a na-
tural want in the tnind of an Englishman. There is ;
no war—no foreign loan—nothing to absorb the capital
which has been accumulated in the country. It is almost ;
a pity that the National Debt cannot be extended. That
would supply the means of employing our hoarded money.
But it would be too much to expect Government to pay I
interest on money for which it has no use ; though the
scheme is certainly as proper for relieving our capitalists
as a Treasury grant for raising useless public works would
be for relieving our operatives. This, however, we would
not insist apon. A Joint-stock Batik (or, still better, a coi-
llrctiou of Joint-stock Banks) is the only means for the sal-
vation of the nation. Ii the Government would authorize
merchants to.lend money on goods on the same terms as
the Bank of England, we were toll, some time ago, that
they could have advanced twice the amount that the Bank
could. Do but let them set to work, and establish Branch
Banks, with full liberty to lend money, and manufacture
money, on the same basis as the Batik of England. Above
all, do not establish Branch Banks to come in competition
with these private speculators. Let them get their motley
laid out, with the hope of fifty per cent. upon it; let them
have the pleasure of speculating for a few months on pre-
miums and bonuses. A number of separate Joint-stock
Banks would be preferable perhaps to IV t.x Vs grand pro-
vincial scheme, because each might then have a capital
equal to that of the Bank of England. It is unnecessary
to ask whence the demand could arise for such a circula-
tion as these mushroom establishments could supply.
It was quite time enough to ask where the Vigo Bay
dollars lay after all the funds to raise them had been
provided—and, some say, spent. There must soon be
something fresh to speculate upon ; there is a demand for
matter of speculatiou; and this demand must and will soon
be gratified with something which may probably poncss
a greater appearance of stability, but will in the end prove
equally ruinous with our former projects. We cannot.
flatter the hopes of the capitalists with any new mode otP
employing their capital, unless at a considerable reduction
of interest and profits. The Joint-stock banking pries-
tors will offer an increase of profits ; and our only surprise
is that they have been so tardy in coming forward Ivith
their schemes. Now is the time, however, to destroy
at one blow the Branch Banks of the:Bank of England,
by substituting Joint-stuck Establishments in their room.
Then, and then only, can we hope to see these halcyon
days return, when our ventures were scattered abroad to
the four quarters of. Heaven, and our speculators wanted
nothing to clown their good fortune but that it should be
real and permanent.

CITY, THURSDAY eYEKINCI.

The sp culations in the British Funds to-day bare been
of c nsiderable magnitude, and the porches...a made of Con-

successful, for at the close of the day they did not realize
more than SOU- for this Account, and 8024 for November.
The Bears thundered forth the most disastrous statements
as to the defalcation in the Quarter's Iterenus,, with an ex-
actness of particulate as to pounds, shillings, and pence,
that at once threw discredit upon the whole. That there
is a defalcation every one is aware ; but, as to its amount,
that is impossible to be known, beyond a triere.estimate,
end that made by persons not in possession of the details,
as the Out-port R:tutua will not be closed until the last

moment. Exchequer IliHa and India Bonds have both
been in request to-day, and both show an advance of one
shilling, the former being 17, 18, and the latter 31, 33.
In the Foreign Market there has been some speculating
in Mexican Bonds, in consequence of a report that events
of an unpleasant nature had occurred in that country. On
inquiry, however, the news does not appear to he of that
alarming character which certain interested parties wished
it to he considered. A private letter states that a division
of opinion hail occurred in the Mexican Cabinet ; that M.
EsTAva, the Minister of Finance, had tendered his resig-
nation ; and that the convoy that was about to leave
Mexico for Vera Cruz, with money to he forwarded to i
England, had been countermanded. M. Esinva is a
very clever man, and his sViViel I will be a peat loss'
to his country, should these differenct-s he not amicably
settled. This information hail some effect on the Market,
and Mexican Bonds retrograded about one per cent. ; at
the eose of the Market, however, the alarm bad subsided,
and the retutn of confidence place.) the Bonds at from

being still sanguine as to the arrival of money shortly.
