LONDON. MONDAY, JANU AY 21.
Three oR
'clock, pin.
The Paris papers of Thursday last have arrived—
they teem as usual with stockjobing rumours and
idle stories on the bulject of Turkish affairs; but
from this mass of inconsistencies we can discover that
the Greeks arc proceeding prosperously. In the
itlnrea they have been every where successful, and
have driven the Turks into the fortresses, which are
all blockaded by tinces mire or less considerable, but
sufficient, it is hoped, to starve the barbarians into
compliance, and to oblige them to surrender. The
Greeks have found ample supplies at Tripolizza, and
have also received numerous transports of warlike
stores. A letter from Constantinople, of the 11th
ult. affirms, that there has been no cessation of hos-
tilities on the part of the Prince Royal of Persia,
but on the contrary, that be is still carrying on the
war with success against the Ottomans. It is now
confidently stated, that the British Government has
abandoned all hope of preserving peace between
Russia and Turkey. Our Ministers therefore ap-
pear to have fallen into a fatal error in endeavouring
to prop up a power which had evidently arrived at
the hour of its dissolution. The Powers of Europe,
it is now said, are determined to offer their mediation
to put an end to the war, by obliging the Turks to
evacuate Moldavia and Wallachia, to suffer the
Greeks to appoint their own Hospondar, and to
enjoy their religion and independence without inter-
ruption. If the Porte does nut comply, then it is
rumoured that England and France will use every
eflint fin. the erection of Greece into an independent
State, which will be to protect the Greeks eqaally
from the Turks and the Russians, should the latter
still manifint a disposition to carry into execution
those tapacious designs which have been attributed
to the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh.
The French Five per Cents on Wednesday last
left off at 85f. 80‘..

REDUCTION or RENTL—A circular has been
transmitted at the desire of the Martinis of Stafford
to the tenantry on his extensive estates. The reduc-
tion appears to amount to nearly I 00i. in 5001.
tt iItEXTHASI, JAN. 10.
51V1....-The Marquis of Stafford desires you to be informed
that the half year's rent due by you to his Lordship at Michael.
nuts last, and payable on the 7th of Febniary next, is 2041. 19s.
" His lorddilp desires you further to be Informed, that the
amount of rent payable by you, shall, until further notice, be a
rent calculated in grain, ut the rate of 80s. per qr., Winchester
measure, which rent in grain should be payable in cash, and shall
be regulated according to the average annual price of wheat as
declared in the London Gazette, in the month of March yearly.
The amount of rent of each current year to be settled by the
average price of the prscethng year.
" For example:
•• Your present rent of 50oL, at 110 s. per quarter, gives 128
quarters of wheat,
145 quartets of wheat is therefore the amount of your rent
until further notice--payable in cash. and to be regulated by the
average price of wheat tor the year preceJing that for which the
tent is payable.
" Which average, for 1820, as declared in the Louder* Grwitr
for the year ending March. 1821, was 655. 7d. the quarfer 125
quarters at 655. 7d. amount to 4091. 1854 the half of which being
14041. 195., is the amount of the half year's rent now due by you,
as above stated."

The Gezetts which announces the elevation of
the Marquis of Buckingham to a Dukedom, states
that he is created Duke of Buckingham and Chan-
dos.—We conclude, therefore, that he is at liberty
to call himself by either title, and as an induce-
ment to the adoption of the latter, we might submit
to him that many persona would soon forget that the
Duke of Chandos was the Marquis of Buckingham,
which would not be the case if he continued to
derive his Ducal title from the same place as that
whence his Marquisate was borne.
IRISH KNIGHTS.—An extraordinary discovery
has recently occurred, on account of the honour of
Knighthood having been conferred on Captain Phil-
limore, of the British Navy, by the new Lord Lieu-
tenant of Ireland. It appears that before the Union
the Viceroys of Ireland enjoy .I the privilege of
conferring this honour, bet that it was not reserved
to them un that occasion, and then devolved wholly
on the Sovereign; so that all the knighthood bestowed
by Earl Talbot, as well as by the Marquis of %Vel-
hisley, arc found to be null and void. The hoard
id' Admiralty, we understand, has the merit
making this discovery, which had escaped the obser•
vation dour ablest lawyers and statesmen..
It is said fifty pounds a ‘veck are ieceived
at
CbirliVA shop since the Blidge-street folks uteddltiel
in this utrAir, which pr.( b:bly would not have re-
;VA filty t..,1 they not interfered.
