LONDON,
'WEDNESDAY. MAY e 4. 1820.

An article of intelligence from Constantinople.
brought by the lisitiburgh Mail which arrives'
yesterday, announces the equipment of • formi-
dable military force by the Poore, fur the pur-
pose of crushing the !lower or ALI PACMA. ,of
Justinian. The resources, personal, military,
and territorial. of this powerful Chieftain are
so very considerable, and the active strength
of the PORTE so contemptible, • that the even.
teal success of the armament mast he looked upon
as very doubtful ; but odious sod detestable as
his tyrannies have made him, it is not improba-
ble that psis followers sod soldiers will desert him
on the first appearance of the firmauri that an-
nounce. his recal, and the termination of his dele-
gated authority. The submission of ALI to the
PeRTE has for many years been merely nominal,
and the conviction that his acted! independence
was viewed in Constantinople with jealousy and
/trued, caused him to prepare for hostilities as an
event which nothing but a sense of weakness on
the part of the Government could prevent. It
therefore is not to be supposed that Au will sub-
mit patiently to the b:iw-string, which is the usual
reward of a Turkish Governor when deprived of
his authority. It was to this tyrant that the Bri-
tish Government was induced to surrender the
brave but unfortunate Parganintes; but such seta
the terror inspired by his revolting cruelties and
treachery, and such the horror borne towards his
person and government by that gallant people,
that they chose rather to leave the tombs of their
fathers, and the homes of their childhood, then to
intrust the solely of their persons. the honnnr of
their families, and the miserable wreck of their
former affluence, to the well-known brutality, lust,
and avarice, of A t.i and his followers. His power
over Albania and Thessaly have long been midis-
pitted; but the Porte him now appointed Paclias
to the governments of various places within these
extensive provinces, for the purpose. in the first
instance, of rai,ing more numerous personal eue.
mies against ALI, and in case of success, of ren-
dering the authority diets divided less formidable
to the Government than when such exterosive coun-
tries were under the c,,minand of an individeal.

We have received Paris Papers of Saturday last.
The Manuel'r admits the incorrecitiesa of its far-
mer statement respecting the arrival of the Queen
of ENGLAND at the Hotel de Ricoh. The same
Paper inserts the observations published on the pre.
ceding day in the Journal des Debuts respect:oft
the conspiracy at Baaancou without alteration or
comment.

The High Court of Peers, in the sitting of the
preceding day, heard the conclusion of the ATTU*.
14 ET-GENERA L'S ode of accusation against Loure.
The Court then commenced its deliberations upon
the Report made by the Committee, the &cu.
menus annexed to it, and the exposition of the AT.
TORNEY-G gN ttiA L. The further conviderstinn of
the subject war adjourned until the following dry.
The follownig notice of Groovier, .who has been
arrested for hiv attempt to explode gunpowder
near the palace, is taken from the Rueke

" Gravier, who was arrested in Paris on the
night of the 6th of this mouth, was at Bourdentix
in the beginning of 1816. On the 16th of Fe-
bruary in that year the Military A nthoritirs. who
bad caused him to be strictly watched, discovered
that lie was the hollow of a letter to the Duke of
WELLINcTos, the object of which was to propose
to this GrMrral to raise • considerable army in
France, nod to point not the means of equip-
ping, p iying, and pru,viding for its support. This
army was to hi tratispoi led to India, where it was to
secure all the advantages of commerce to England,
and to extend her possessions in that country•. The
minute of this letter, in Gravier's hand-writing.
was found at his residence. and he was immediately
arrested with one Name. the partner of his intrigues.
Name had been it Captain in • regiment of hussars,
and Gravier hod se►ved with the same milk in the
former 011 regiment of lancers. The latter was
placed under surveillance, at tangoes. where he
associated with none but seditious persona, notori-
ous for their implacable enmity to the legitimate
Government."

The Journal des Debate says, that it was in con•
eaqueoct of some discoveries made by Grimier mod
his accomplices that die conspiracy was discovered.
which was to have broken out in Franche-Comte.
Bourgeos, who a still at the Conciergerie. has al.
ready undergone several examinations.
The discussions still continue in the Chamber of
Deputies upon the law of elections. They are in
general very uninteresting. but during the debate
on Friday some sentences were uttered by a M.
Touanexult. which, as they in some degree relate
to England. we think it right to translate. " What
advantages," asked M. Toy gAV X. " does France
owe to the Minister of Foreign Affairs! What
treaties of commerce have favoured our agricul.
lure and our industry ? Have we seen any attempt
snide by the skill of his combinations to restore

The official statement of the amount of the
Sippt:es voted by Parliament for the service of the
lest year, and of the manner ►n which the Ways and
Means were provided. was published some days since
in this Paper. We remarked upon that occasion,
that as the circumstances of the present year, in a
fiasocial pond of view, differed from those of the
year preceding only us they offered a certain in-
crease in the estimated expenses of the military
establishments., and • probable diminution in the
revenue, the Government would be compelled to
have recourse in the present Session to the s►twe
expedients for raising the Ways and Merino as were
found necessary in the last Session, and that a loan
to a considerable *mow,' seasstd Ise required. unless
the Lords of the Treasury resolved at all hazards
to adopt their favourite scheme of • Property Tax.
This opinion seems to have been adopted very
generally in the City, and reports to this effect pre-
vailed so strongly yesterday at the Stock Exchange,
that they produced some effect upon the private
bargains that were tirgociated. The fonds fell
about nearly a half per ;eat. Speculation varied
considerably with regard to the amount of the
loan, which was generally considered as iudisren•
sable in the existing embarrassments of the Tres.
wry. Some calculated that it would amount to
12,000,000/. others to 20,000,000/. Weds the lat-
ter opinion we are inclined to concur. particularly
from its hoeing been asserted that the Beak of
England refused to forego their claim this year to
the repayment of the five millions which were pro-
mised in the last Session. Consuls for Account
were yesterday 69k.

A very interesting report will be found in another
part of our Paper of the proceedings which took
place yesterday at a General Meeting of the Sub-
scriber, mid Friends to the Society fur the Improve.
mew of Prison Discipline. This subject is one to
which public attention has been fora considerable
time anxiously and seriously directed, and some
good has in consequence been effected; but invete-
rate and depraved as the old habits of prison disci.
idiom were in this country. and desperate as the hope
of improvement seemed to many, the progress
of amelioration hitherto has not .been so exten-
sive as could have been desired by the friends to
humanity, or us might have been expected from
the labour and ingenuity with which several distin.
writhed individuals devoted themselves to the task.
Some instauces, however, there are of success in this
undertaking so striking as to offer the strongest in.
cetitive to perseverance.. The effects produced in
the moral condition of the female prisoners in New.
gate, and in the Borough Consider, by the humane
sad judicious exertions of Mrs. Fay and the
Ladies' Committee, are almost miraculous; sod
with such noble examples presented to the pnb.
lie eye, of what extensive good individually
sod socially might be achieved by paying ',roper
attention to the state of prison discipline, the into.
rests of society would he cruelly betrayed if the
mimesl made to the public by the meeting held
yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern were not fol-
lowed by a prompt and efficacious moistener.
There is something extremely revolting in the
fact stAted by Mr. W ILIIKNFORCX. and embodied
in the Resolution proposed by this Gentleman, that
" in the Cities of London and Westminster, and
the Borough of Southwark, there are 8,000 boys
who derive subsistence by the daily perpetration of
crime." Such a fact well merits the attention
not only of benevolent individuals, such us con.
stitute this Society, but of the Government also ;
for so large a mass of juvenile offenders, daily in.
creasing in moral depravity, must operate a most
dreadful evil, not oily by the matured vice which
will accompany their manhood. but more particu-
larly by the assurance they hold out of tainting the
morals and polluting the minds of a still larger
number of the generation immediately succeeding
them. The pollution will thus be continued from
age to age, without a hope of reformation. unless the
means of correction be applied to the evil in its pie.
sent elate. It is a question well worthy of considers.
lion, whether the means of correction, with respect
to these young offenders, earkt.ss be coarened to
the walls of a pnson ). It @Denis preposterous to
delay improvement until the habits of crime ore
permitted to become iuveterate. Funds might be
set apart by Government, or missed townie per.
sons of active benevolence, for the purpose of se-
curing from vice every child below the age of ten
or twelve years, who may be found waodering about
the streets of the metropolis without any honest or
vieible means of support. The expenses of such
a plan would eventually be less thau those which
must be hammed -by the plan suggested in Mr.
BUXTON'S speech, Of employing in useful !show
every child who may have been convicted of some
offerer. Before coavictiou eon be bad, the offenders
will inset probably hove proceeded through many
degrees of vice, from which indeed' child destitute
of every honest memo of support cannot in the
metropolis escape. By taking them hito an asylum
previous to the commission of any Wilms offence.
they would be loved hosssnacis physical suffering
sod metal pollution, end wooW undoubtedly be
mods better objects of benevolima attention than if
they had previonsly acquired the gababllisbiess of

The carriages completely lined the road from the College-

It was not generally understood in Windsor or FADS that
the King had arrived at the Royel Cottage in the Greet
Park o■ the preceding night, in order to honour the festival.
On its being known that his Majesty would make his public
entrance through Windsor to Eton College, the confusion
among the carriages, the one.horte vehicle., and the 'aloe
of utraisgers, t.. secure good station., was alarasiag fof some
time.

Precisely at twelve o'clock his Majesty, accompanied by
the Right Hon. Sir R. IlloomSeld, arrived at Elkus Bridge.
Messrs. Wilmot sad Stanley, Salt-I:ravers, dressed in most
superb (nary costume, received his Majesty's liberal contra.
