rebellion shall cease, punishment will cease. The
greatest care is shown, us fiirmerly, to distinguish
the innocent from the guilty, even to the extent

being generally known, and your Excellency agree-

to repeat them.
It would inspire pleasure to think that. as all the
friends of the Sublime Porte, listening with a spirit
of moderation to her just complaints on the pints
ablve mentioned, which she has proved to be timmt-
ed in justice, and conformable to national rights,
equity, and truth, avow such without hesitation ;
so the Court of Russia, on her part, will ob.ierve
what is clue to right and justice.
In this hope, the Sublime Porte prays the C: urt
of England, whose good-will towards bath pitrtik s
cannot be doubted, that in exerting all tb, means
which sincere friendship and justice require,
would employ her good offices to smooth the was to
a final arrangement of the iliffiirences existing be-
tween the Sublime Porte and the Cour,. of Russia.
With this object the present Note has been drawn
up and transmitted to your Excellency the Ambas-
sador of England.

THE LANDHOLDER rertua TILE FUNDHOLDER

In contradiction to the assertion which is now so
general, that the fundholder has, and has had for the
last 1:0 years the advantage of the landholder—the
following titat meat founded on incontrovertible
facts has been made. A gentleman died in 1788
possessed of 2,0001. per annum, leaving behind hint
two suns. To James, who was the elder, he left
his funded property of 1,0001. a-year. Tu George
he left his landed property, then on lease, at
rental of 1,0001. a-year, which leases expired in
the year 1793. Each was satisfied with the arrange-
ment, and from the advance that took plate in the
price of stocks from 1788 to 1792, James was
thought by many to have the best of the arrange-
ment : but in 1793, the war broke out, and things
took a different turn. James's income continued
the same, and as all articles of consumption during
the war advanced to double the price, and his 1,0001.
a-year, could purchase no more than 5601. would
have done in the year 1788, it was virtually a tax
of 50 per cent. npon his income. George was a
prudent man, raised his rents when the leases ex-
pired in 1793 at once 50 per cent. which he let en
lease for 7 years, and before the 7 years were ex-
pired, was importuned to grant an extension
of the term of 7 years more at an advance of
50 per cent. on his then rental of 1,5001. a year,
making his income '2,2501. a year. Wi.en these
leases expired in 1807, such was the demand for
laud, and such the idea that the war was intermin-
able, that he actually, at that period, let what in
1788 was 1,0001. a year for 3,0001. a year for 14
years; and from the high prices obtained during the
war for agricultural produce, fin. the first seven
years the rents were paid without a murmur: but
in 1814, and since, as the prices fell, the farmers
began to complain, and George has been ender the
necessity of making abatements: yet he still ree,ivcs
much more than his original rental of 1,0001. a year,
besides the savings of what his income has been be-
yond his brother's. flow, then, dues tld.; account

and having had the prudence to invest this increase
in the funds, he has a better income by 3001. a year
than his eider brother from the funds, besides his
estate, the rental of which is more thin in 1793.
—What is the inference from these facts? The
case of James is the case of the fundlMder,
who is no better (At titan he was in 1793; and can
lie purchase any one article from the athricultural
interest at a cheaper rate now than he could have
done then ? Taxation and other articles of expense
press equally on the fund and landholder Does
James receive more than 1,0001. a year now In.m
his funds? and does not George receive, notwith-
standing his abatements, more than he did in 1793?
If lie were to allow a reduction of 30 per cent., hi.;
income would still be 1,3001. a year.

Mr. Lanibton has become the purchaser of Her-
rington Halt, and about 70 acres of land availed
to it—price 19,0001. exclusive of the coal, whiJi is
to be valued and paid for in addition. Tais same
property was bought fur 7,5001. aLut twenty-five
years ago.
