LONDON.
SATURDAY. OCTOBER 28.

We have received 31onitelers, and other Paris
Papers, to the 20th lust, auclissive. Amorig these.
the Journal du Commerce, of Friday last, ClLlSltilllls.
the following paragraph :
" This 20th of October, at nine o'clock in the
morning, we bear tho firing of the caunria, and every
thing omits:lnce* that it is a confirmation of the EWA
of Pelier, signed oh the 14th."
The same Paper contains an account of the
Treaty basing been signed on tIM 141 h, at Moe in
the morning. The .lloniteur of the 200 affords no
information of any kind on the subject; put that fur-
nishes no argument against the paraignipli in the
Journal du Conmerce. The ahnitcur is es little ac-
customed as The London Gazette, to stop the press
or publish a Second Edition.
While BONAPAITE had thus consummated the
subjogatiou of Austria to his power; and while he
Russia by the operation of terror, or by the
effect of intimidation ; tai) events, ritually unex-
pected and propitious to Great Ibitain, seem to
have taken place in the East. Each of them me-
rits the deepest attention, and may lead to the most
importaut national results. The formidable con-
queror, who now wicl.l., and disposes at his plea-
sore, of the energies of Eu.ope, who has covered it
with revolutionary Kings, and Dukes. and dignita-
ries of every description, and who is about to trans-
far his presence, Ins arts, sod his armies, from Ger.
many to Spain ; has maturely weighed, in his poli-
tical balance, the destinies of Britain. Aware, end
convinced by recent,as ire II as by ancient experience.
that all his attempts to invade the island are subject
to almost inevitable defeat ; and unable to snbrert.
by his secret conductors,• country, which, however
they may reprelsate the inefficiency of the actual
Governinelit, maintain their attachment undimi-
nished inwards the Soverei,ln and the constitution ;
he has directed his Machisrelien machinery to-
wards other quarters. Our vast dominions in Asia,
the prestigious revenue a hich we derive from thence.
and the commerce carried on from every part of
the Peninsula of Winton, he well knows, consti-
tute one of the most essential bases of the public
prosperity. • To sap these resources at the root ; to
expel, or at least to invade. and to disturb us in
the possession of India ; and to raise etiernies to us
in those portions of the globe. which. from their si.
quation. are hest calculated to facilitate his views ;
bare formed the unremitting objects of his vigilant.
malignant. and able policy. Frustrated hitherto
in Igo endeavours to accomplish this pond, thronjh
Jigypik he has bad recourse to Persia.

breed in the earliest antiquity, and, is defense oh
every species of ihtenust commotion, civil wars, sad
mal-administratios, still constituting • powerful
State, or Empire, is now, and has been for several
years, subjected to one Sovereign. FATALS
the reigning Prince, is unquestionably a man of
very considerable vigour, capacity, a .1 activity.
To him NAPOLSON haii addressed his emissaries,
and endeavoured to stimulate the Persian Gove'Vn-
ment, to a rupture with us. Such a proposal, if it
had beeu successful, might have been productive
of the most serious, perhaps even of the most fatal
consequences. The Eastern Provinces of FATrM
SNAH'S Empire, though considerably remote from
our nearest western possessions, either in Guzurat,
or in the northern dominions dependent on Ben-
gal ; are nevertheless so situated, as to enable a So-
vereign of Persia to molest its in the greatest de-
gree. The whole commerce carried on from the,
Golph of lintel', from Surat and Bombay. to Rue-
hire and Humors, is likewise subject to his cotitrout,
and greatly depeudent on his pleasure. Every
temptation, and ei..sry inducement to commence
hostilities on our trade, or on our people, was, we
well kiwis, urged and pressed by Genetal GAR•
DA NN r, the Nlinister of the COMMA Emperor, at
the Court of Persia. Happily, these afforts have
been successfully met mid counteracted: Sir HAIL.
FORD Josms, it appears, has comuletely defeated
NAPOLEON'S schemes for our subversion in the
East, and has succeeded in coucludiag a treaty be-
tween Great Britain mud FATALI SHAY.

As it is difficult for the most comprehensive, sub-
tle, or superior mind, to obviate every impediment,
and to combine every means of offence, or of at-
tack; so is it probable that Bosaieisavt hue been
counteracted iu his preseut negotiations at Schiraz,
and at Tsehrui, by his connections with the Court
of Petershurgh. The Russians, ever extending
the 'Units of their Empire to the south of :he Cas-
pian Sea, and advancing towards the central pro-
XillCell of Persia, are necesvarily objects of equal
dread and detestation to the Sovereign of that
country. t The ascendant obtained by the present
Usurper of Prance. over the counsels of A t.txt :s-
-pan, and the intimate.uoion of the two Rulers, or
rather the servile ' W' the CZAII to his
conqueror, cemeuted by. . 1 iews of Tilsit and
.of .of Erfurt; required only to be nowhand explain-
ed to FATALI SHAH, in order to awaken his just
apprehensions. Nor could he. without violating
the first principles of self-yreservation, join with •
revolutionary tyrant, the ally and the real director
of his inveterate enemy, the Czar of Muscovv ; in
order to commence a war with the English, on the
Ganges, or on coasts of the Deciut and of Ma-
lobar, from whom he had received no injury, and
with whom he had on quarrel. That Btikae•ave
will deeply feel, sad will employ every engine to
repair this dirippoilitusent, we niuy be fully as-
sured. In him, it is natural. • But,' that a Gover-
nor-General of India, who is so deeply implicated
mod interested iii the success of such a mission as
that of Sir Ilaaroats JONES, should, in a manner,
as far as we are able 1.• judge, eq itally unauthorized,
intemperate, and impolitic, endeavour to recall
him in the most critic ..I isionivitt of his Embassy,
dots, indeed, excite c qtial wonder and concern.
lu the correspond. lice, and . the orders issued by
Lord ASis to, we recognize snore of the itritution
rod eccentricity which distiognished Sir (;11,6EItT
gi.i.torr, as Viceroy of Corsica, than the mild,
liberal, and geode principles, which appear to have
actuated his cooduet, silica his appoinineut to the
Goverunieut-General of Italia. Fortunately, it
would appear, that the Per.ian Sovereign, too
enlightened, or two judicious, to sacrifice the sub-
stance to the font's, has not altered the hoe of his
policy; nor permitted the jealousies and resent-
ments of Lord :111Nvo to st!...et his reception and
treatineut of the British Envoy. It must, how-
ever, be observed, that w.e are hitherto without
any official, or authentic ductimerts, on this very
interesting subject ; and ore are therefore bound to
suspend our judgment oii the propriety of Lord
MINTO'S measures, till we receive accurate infor-
mation fro:n Calcutta, of his motives, and the rea-
sons that. influenced hi. determination.

The second unspitlions event to which we have
alluded, in the East, has taken place at Cowden-
tinople, and is slue to the able, as well active
exertions of Mr. ADAIR, Our Ambine.ador at the
PORTZ. it regards uo less an object, than the per-
mission and resolution to allow a British fleet to
pass the Dardanelles, and to navigate the Black
Sea. This determination, on the part of the Turks,
is must insportaut, awl may lead to very great, as
well as beneficial consequences. • We shall resume
Gull discuss it with our first leisure.

A Cadiz packet is arrived, with dispatches from
Marquis WCILLISLEY. • They were brought by s
special Mew ginger, and, ors doubt, ColltN'a his Lord-
ship's sentiments upon the subjett ofethe new Mi-
nisterial arrangements. We have received, by the
mime conveyance, Spanish •papers to the 9th inst.
It is stated, in un article dated Iladajos, the 2Gth
September, that the French bud evacuated Corte,
&tad had committed great excesses iu that part of
the counts'', by burning and pillaging the towns
through which they passed in their retreat.

It was reported. last night. that Coverninent are in
potteasiou of the aubstancte of the Treaty of ENIJAUO

,

'between France end Austria, and that it is as fol.
hots I--

,s The chief part of A Istria', and Polish GMllicia to
be surrendered by Austria. A small portion to be
coded to Resasis.

" The Areliblehopric of Saltsburgh to be given
to Bavaria;

" France to have Trieste and Fiume, and the
whole of the Litwale, that is, all the coast which
Austria possessed on the borders of the Adriatic;
so that Austria will, in future, be ascluded.frunt
all Consmanication with the sea."

We should suppose that the aben are apt all gm
terms of the Tiftity.

The report of Mr. M oiswoutio'scharge to the
(}rand Jisty, et IVestminster Sessions, given in
TIM BRITISH I'ItRIS of yesterday, was stilwitan.
tially correct. As, however, the case is likely to
produce some discussion, we this day submit. a
trine qopy, with which a friend his favoured us.

In our !raper of Monday, we inserted • letter
from Tsrbran, in which Lord Marro is stated to
