LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 9, 1830.

Despatches were received at the Foreign
Office, this morning, from the British Minister
at Lisbon ; and at the Colonial Office, from
Lord BELMORE, Governor of Jamaica ; from
the different Governors of the whole of the Lee-
ward Islands, and also from the various Consuls
of South America.

Lord LEVESON GOWER transacted business,
this morning, with Mr. HERRIES, at the Office
of the Board of Trade.

The following are extracts from German
l'apers, receired this morning :

CONSTANTINOPLE, J.N. 6.
Profound silence still prevails respecting the negociations
relative to Greece, and there is the more apprehension of
further difficulties on the part of the Porte, as it really owns
43 intention of evading, by some plausible means, the ful-
filment of the conditions of the late treaty, and has with
this view sent an extraordinary embassy to St. Petersburgh.
The accounts from Greece speak unfavourably of the pre-
strvation of public tranquillity, and Count Capo d'lstria
said to find it difficult to assert his authority.
This is another circumstance which confirms the Porte in
'4: notion that it is necessary to the balance of Europe
pat its strength should be balanced entire, and that the
, "trs will see that Greece is not ripe for independence,
nd Must remain subject to the Porte. It is unhappily
that.since the report of the choice of a King has been
k ,nctirn at Pores, party spirit has been busy, and every
"IY believed himself released from the obligation to obey
the President. The Rumeliots even mutinied, and the
French troops already embarked, to the number of 2,000
were obliged to be landed again to maintain order in
the Mores, Reinforcements are said to have come front
Toulon. Several emissaries, especially a Greek who fled
from Constantinople on board a French ship, are said to
sew the seeds of discord, and occasionally to distribute
Loney. Meantime the President has had a conference
with the three Admirals, who are said to have placed
several skips at his disposal, to enable him to punish
the seditious. Such circumstances are not calculated to
make the situation of a future regent of Greece appear
enviable.

M. de Ribeaupierre is hourly expected here. The
Turkish ships from Alexandria have arrived here. Hussein
Paella has come from Adrianople where the Grand Vizier
is, and Count Orloff is ;x1 the same situation as before,
waiting for instructions from Petersburgh. Count Guille-
minot has made the Porte some proposals relative to the
payment of the Russian indemnity, and expressed a wish
for all the Catholic Christians in Turkey to be placed under
the protection of France alone; the Porte has declined this
proposal, the Reis Effendi observing that all Ray as should
enjoy the same rights.

We have received Papers this morning from
the Cape of Good Hope to the beginning of
December. The only article of interest is the
death of GIIIKA, King of the Caffres
(From the South _African Advertiser, Nov. 28.)
Early on Friday morning, the 13th instant, the Coffer
Chief Ghika departed this life, after a long and painful
affliction, during which we have heard that several old
women, suspected of sorcery, have fallen victims to his
superstition. It is quite uncertain who of his numerous
progeny will succeed him. Mocomo is not without pre-
tensions; but report speaks in favour of a younger son
named Cow-Clough.
We learn from the Eastern Frontier, that although,
the weather has been very changeable of late, the crops are
hk►ng "et Some partial failures are inevitable, hut
generally there will be an abundant supply of all sorts of
graiq• Snch a season has not been witnessed these ten
3T"1"8. Reaping has already commenced.

Papers have reached us from Calcutta to the
sth
of Sept, and from 'Madras to the 3d of
October. The former state that the Indigo crop
this year will amount to about 130,000
etirring at
Inaunds. Nothing of a political nature was
either Presidency. At Bombay
"lething like another struggle had taken place
.;itween the political and judicial authorities.
Process of the Supreme Court there had
,g 414 been opposed by the Government, on
considerations of civil policy."

ceounts from the Isle of France, via the
Cape, state that some dispute having arisen
ttween the King of Madagascar and the French,
he
1,
th
squadron of the latter had set fire to
a
—atave, and totally destroyed that city.

th le Calcutta Papers, just received, contain
e following circular, founded on the Half-
tn'itta question, addressed to the different Edi-
.l.3 and Proprietors of periodicals at that Pre-
sidency
u.R.RTLrstiEN,—I am directed tei transmit to yotl, for

Council Chamber, 6th August, 1829.

To the manufacturers of Leeds we say, as we
have before said to other petitioners against the
East India Monopoly, persevere and justice will
be done you. The speeches of Mr. GOTT and
Mr. MARSHALL rest the question upon the
foundation on which it ought to be argued,
viz., is the exclusion of British industry from the
China Trade, and from colonization in India,
attended by any benefits to the people of this
country, sufficient to render the continuance of
thst exclusion expedient? The East India
Company cannot shew any such benefits to have
arisen, they cannot answer the overwhelming
proof of the advantage of a free commerce, which
lies in the fact of the prodigious increase of the
trade with India since its liberation. We shall
be told in Parliament, no doubt, with tiresome

iteration, that the Hindoos are a peculiar people,
and would be annoyed and persecuted in an in-
human manner by British settlers, and moreover
that the Chinese are a peculiar people, and can-
not be safely dealt with except by persons wear-
ing a peculiar uniform. But the Government
knows well enough, that the introduction of in-
dustry and civilization into a colony, whether it
be Canada, or Bengal, is equally beneficial to
the colonized, and the mother country, and it
is further aware that free traders have no natural
incapacity ofnegociating with the Hong merchants,
and are just as likely to find out the way of deal-
ing as the Americans, or others. If there had
been a Portugal company now existing, with the
exclusive privilege of trading to Oporto, exactly
the same arguments might be used for its conti-
nuance as for that of the China monopoly. The
importance of drinking unadulterated Port wine
might be duly enlarged upon ; and there is re-
ally no good reason why we should be at the
mercy of private traders in this respect any more
than in tea. In former times companies and
corporations were the best means for the promo-
tion of trade, and unquestionably our commerce
with the East could not have risen so rapidly
but for the original institution of the East India
Company. That institution however, as ARIS-
TOTLE says of Governments, " was ordained
" to some end," and when our commerce was
established on a firm footing, we apprehend, the
end was attained. If the same reasons do not
now exist which warranted the original sanction
given to the charter by law, the rule " cessante
" ratione, cessat lex," ought to be applied to the

question of renewal.
We believe the Leeds meeting owes its ori-
gin, in a great measure, to the vigorous efforts
made by the Leeds Mercury to rouse the ma-
nufacturers to action in a matter so vitally affect-
ing their interest. That Journal has, we be-
lieve, never yet omitted an opportunity of
being really useful to commerce, or to the nation.

In addition to the slovenly and hasty manner
in which the late Inquest on the unfortunate
Lord GRAVES was conducted—a haste the
motives for which we cam more readily compre-
hend than excuse—we cannot but express our
astonishment at the conduct of the Coroner,
who at the very moment when the evidence be-
gan to assume an intelligible shape, and to throw
light on the causes that induced the deplorable
catastrophe, was so far from furthering, that he
actually attempted to prevent the elucidation of
the necessary facts.

CORONET—You have no doubt, I presume, that his
Lordship committed suicide, while labouring under de-
pression of spirits ?
Witness—l have no doubt that hie Lordship cut his
throat in a fit of great depression of spirits, not knowing
what he was about.

Juror—But can you inform us what has caused that de-
pression of spirits under which his Lordship laboured?
[The question seemed to excite the greatest interest
among the Jury. All eyes were turned towards the wit-
ness ; but before he could make the reply,
The CORONKR interposed, and said, he did not consider
it necessary to put such a question to the witness. They
had assembled to inquire whether Lord Graves died from
violence inflicted by himself or by any other person, and in
what state of mind he was at the time—whether insane or
otherwise. It was in evidence that his Lordship had
laboured under great depression of spirits, and it was there-
fore probable that he committed the rash act while labour-
ing under temporary insanity.
Juror—But, Sir, I consider that we shall not discharge
our duty unless we inquire into the cause of that depres-
sion of spirits under which his Lordship is said to have
laboured. According to the oath that you administer to
us, are we not bound to investigate all the cicumstances?
Conoxxs—No, Gentlemen ; I do not consider it a part
of your duty to make inquiry upon that point to which
allusion has been made. The oath that I administer to
you, and which is the same that is administered to Jurors
upon all similar occasions, is, that " you shall diligently
inquire, and true presentment make, on behalf of our
Sovereign Lord the King, how and in what manner Lord
Graves came by his death—anal true verdict give, according
to the evidence—so help you God."
The Juror, however, contended that he was justified in
putting the question, and pressed for the answer.
The COICONZIL said he would raise no further objection
to the question. The witness might, if he pleased, give
the answer.

The question having been put, the witness said," I can-
not, upon my oath, take upon myself to state what was
the cause which produced that depression of spirits under
which his Lordship laboured."

It appears by the above minutes, if correct,
that every exertion was used to strangle the very
evidence that was most essential to a right un-
derstanding of the case, and that those exertions
were not desisted from till an intelligent and per-
severing juryman had pressed for the necessary
facts. The Inquest altogether appears to have
been a smuggled affair, and ought (as it would
have been in every other case) to have been ad-
journed till better evidence could be procured.
In fact, the inquisition should be held over again.
At present a dreadful and suspicious mystery
hangs over the case.

We noticed on a former occasion a corres-
pondence between Mr. WILMOT HORTON and
Mr. POULETT THOMSON, on the very import-
ant subject of the causes anti remedies of pau-
perism in the United Kingdom. This was, it
appears, the first t,f a series of six successive
parts, in which Mr. WILMOT HORTON has
finally determined to embody his views, and to
wait the effect of their circulation, previously to
bringing the question again before Parliament.
We have since read the second of this series,
consisting of a correspondence with M. DUCH A-
TEL, the enlightened and philanthropic Author

of the ig Essay en Charity," and have cleriveki
from it both pleasure and instruction. In
another column will be found the two last of the
letters, and if eur space permitted it we should
have gladly copied the whole.
The points which this second series is in-
tended to establish are ;-Ist, the practicability
of regulated and assisted emigration ;-2dly, the
economy of colonization as a mode of disposing
of a pauper population ;—and idly, the error
of the notions which have been promulgated with
respect to what is called " the filling up of the
vacuum." Upon the first point it is worthy of
remark that M. DUCHATEL, who in his work,
written before seeing the Report of 1827, had
deprecated emigration " as a resource equally
frightful and impracticable," has after reading
that Report so completely altered his opinion,
as to declare that, with the assistance of Go-
vernment, emigration is practicable and without
danger, as appears to him demonstrated by the
examinations taken before the Committee. M.
DUCHATEL is further of opinion that the em-
ployment of capital for the purpose of emigra-

tion, the interest of which less than the
amount of the expense at present incurred, does.
not constitute an expense to the nation, but a
real saving,—in fact an economy. He, lastly, in
repl) to the explanations given concerning the
filling up of the vacuum, expresses himself as free
from doubt on that head, and concludes by say-
ing, "from the moment that the question of
" expense and profit is resolved in favour of
" emigration as compared with domestic main-
" tenance, political economy has only to ap-
" prove the measure."

There are certainly persons among us who dis-
approve of any and every measure, for the very
reason that it is approved by political economy.
To such people it is only lost time to quote M.
DUCIIATEL or any other scientific individual,
whose extensive knowledge, and mature con-
sideration of the subject, may render his autho-
rity of real weight. But there are now too many
well-informed men who take an interest in the
welfare of our wretched paupers, to give Mr.
WILMOT HORTON cause to despair of the
eventual success of his philanthropic exertions.
Nothing appears clearer than that a million of
unproductive paupers, costing the country three
millions a year, and consequently (at 4 per cent.
interest) representing an unproductive capital
of seventy-five millions, would be removed
with immense advantage to themselves and
the nation, if they could at an expense of
sixteen millions be, in six years, located in
Canada, as was clearly demonstrated before
the Emigration Committee. To deny such
a position, is to affirm that an unproduc-
tive expenditure of three millions a year is more
beneficial to the State than a profitable one of
640,0001. In this correspondence, the reasons
why the void made by the abstraction of redun-
dant labourers would not fill itself up, are stated
with more clearness than we have yet seen them
assigned with. Mr. WILMOT HORTON main-
tains, that the change that would be effected in
the state of society, by restoring the proportion
between labour and capital to something like its
proper level, would bring into operation the
prudential check which acts principally, if not
exclusively, in those circumstances of society,
where a man's labour will procure a moderate,
though not an ample, remuneration. Such he

says is the present condition of France ; and it
is assuredly the case that the rate of increase
there is infinitely less either than that of Great
Britain, or any other European state, being in
the ratio of 6,536 per million per annum, while
that of Great Britain is 16,667. There is much
force in this argument, and we are certainly con-
vinced that in no country under the sun is the
prudential check to marriage less exercised, and
more required, than in Ireland. When a man
has reached such a depth of degradation that he
has no power left but to satisfy his animal
desires, he does not, in fact, better his condition

by restraining them ; but where there is a motive
for prudence it is not an unreasonable supposition
that it will begin to be exercised. Mr. WiLmoT
Hort TON'S reasoning deserves therefore much

consideration.
The diffusion of education among the poor
will, we are confident, do much to remove their
prejudices, by making them able to see when
emigration will better their condition. The
Scotch, the Swiss, and many of the Germans,

emigrate voluntarily because they have under-
standing enough to know when they can do
themselves no good at home. If our labouring

population knew anything about Canada, or the
Swan River,—if they had, in general, half the
information they ought to possess, the Govern-
ment would have been besieged with petitioners
for removal. But ignorance and want do not

generate wisdom, and when such monstrous
fallacies are believed by the higher classes, it is
vain to expect to find reasonable opinions preva-
lent among the poor. Mr. WILMOT HORTON
finds the public with arguments, but he cannot
alas ! find it with understanding. Let him,
however, persevere, for the truth makes its way
surely, though slowly, and the time will arrive
when people will express their surprise and
sorrow that they should have so long treated
with neglect an inquiry pregnant with so much
good to their country.

His MAJESTY has been pleased to grant a
charter to the Royal Bank of Scotland, on the authorising
an addition of 500,000/. to the capital, to be paid up
within five years. When the last addition of 500,0001.
was made to the capital of the Bank it was divided
amongst the proprietors, and the whole sum paid from the
undivided profits, without the proprietors being called on
for any part of it.—North Britote.

It is hoped that the front wall of the late
A rgyleß oonas, towards Regent-street, may not require to

very tottering condition.

Notwithstanding the supposed close connec-
tion between a certain great Duke and the new Chief
Baron of Scotland, it may be seen that his Grace's nephew
and heir presumptive voted against Ministers on Thurs-
day night; which fact may negative the inferences to be
drawn from the preferment of the Learned Individual
alluded to. The place is worth 4,0001. per annum, and
is not one of much labour.—Morning Chronicle.
A slight shock of an earthquake was felt at
