lower deck guns, to be victualled for six months, and to
take eight hundred men on board, besides the crew ; while
the Tarn and Egerie, transport-corvettes, are to victual
themselves for the same period, to take each four hundred
men on board, and all three vessels to hold themselves in
readiness to sail on the receipt of orders. Their destina-
tion is not known. The Hercule was to sail on the 12th
for Tunis, with the new Consul-General on board. An-
other letter speaks of an expedition being ordered to pro-
ceed immediat,4 to Buenos Ayres. An expedition against
Tunis was also rumoured as on the point of taking place, to
protect French commercial interests, and to repress the
alleged insolence of the young Bey.
The Courier• Francais of Monday contains the fol-
lowing extract from a letter from Odessa, dated the
30th ult.:—

" Orders from the Emperor arrive at least once a-week,
and keep our Governor in constant activity. The army
amounts to 45,000 effective men, independent of the garri-
sons and other local forces. The three corps of Cossacks
have been increased by 6,000 men, and the battalions from
the Danube added to the army of Bessarabia amount to be-
tween 7,000 and 8,000. The embarcation corps and marine
troops are about 18,000 strong, without reckoning 3,000
sailors organized as crews ready to join those .who are afloat.
The fleet comprising the ships at Kherson, Nicolaiew, on
the coast of, Tauris, and in the Sea of Azoff, but without
including those which form the blockade of Abasia,
cut down, five frigates, six corvettes, three brigs, two
schooner brigs, four cutters, and 20 pinnaces, gun- boats,
flat-bottomed boats, and other small craft, all armed and
stored. The war against the Circassians makes no pro-
gress whatever. The contraband supplies from the coast,
in spite of the blockade, and the reinforcements which the
mountaineers receive, particularly in officers, have so in-
creased their confidence, that no termination to the con-
test can be foreseen. There have been two battles in the
course of this month, in which the Cossacks of the Black
Sea were defeated, and the Dragoons were driven back at
the point of the sword. There have been many desertions
from the Russian infantry, and even from the artillery."
The subjoined extracts from the Papers include all
the news they contain of any particular interest :

LONDON :
WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, 1838.

The Philadelphia correspondent of the Morning
tehltrwlicle states, after adverting to a sudden rise in
be Price of grain in the American ports, occasioned
Y our deficient harvests and high averages,—
11 lac Th° great body of the people here complain that it is

An7v it should be well understood both here and in
aceriea, as it is, we believe, well understood in Ger-

hawlt°gether and exclusively the result of our Corn-

the quarter made it advantageous to import it ; and
eo"e 'lever could be such a difference in the price of
England, and other countries, as would cause
sudden rise of price in them. With free trade
orngland would be like Holland, in which the price
to corn has not varied more than a few shillings for

ral years. Our Corn-laws alone make the average

ourselves, and a pestilential curse to all around us.

" The Augsburg Gazette announces, on the credit of a
letter from Galicia, that a new political murder has taken
place at Cracow on the person of a Russian spy, sent to
find out and betray the emigrants and deserters concealed
in the city. This man was said to have been found pierced
by forty stabs of a poignard. This tragic history seems
invented to justify the violence, past and future, offered and
to be offered, to the independence of Cracow by the Three
Powers."—Journal des Debats.

It seems that Cabrera has committed acts of atrocious
cruelty ; he has caused a great part of his prisoners to be
shot, and twenty of these unfortunate people were executed
at La Muella itself. As soon as this news reached Sara-
gossa, the whole population crowded the streets uttering
cries of vengeance, and threatening to force an entrance
into the Castle, in order to retaliate on the Carlist pri-
soners, and massacre them without any exception. General
San Miguel terrified by these alarming symptoms immedi-
ately convoked a Junta of officers, and in concert with them
took all necessary measures to calm this popular effervescence,
and arrested a great number of individuals suspected of being
Carlists ; the people, however, remained in a state of ex-
citement ; they pretended that these were only sham
rumours, and that the Carlists would soon be released. The
tumult increased, the National Guards took up arms, and
arrested many persons. It was then learned that the
Carlists under Negri had just burned Jalose, and that they
were already at the gates of Alagon, very near to the city.
This news naturally diverted the attention of the people—
every body then thought of the means of defence, and the
tumult in the street ceased, as if by magic. The officers
of the ancient legion of Algiers displayed great energy on
this occasion, and performed great services. On the
9th the mass of the people was far from being calm,
however the National Guards had laid down its arms ;
the castle was no longer threatened with an attack by the
people, and a mail had just been received from Madrid
which proved that the communication was again free. It
is true the date of the letters brought by this mail was
not known, for none had been delivered ; but the bare
fact of the arrival of a mail quieted the people's minds.—Le

Advices from Constantinople of the, 27th ult. an-
nounce that on the 25th letters were received at the
British Embassy from Tabriz, which stated that the
SCIHAH, alarmed by the arrival of English troops off
Bushire, had dispatched a messenger after Mr.
ANNE'', with promises of his acceptance of the
Ultimatum, and praying his Excellency's return
in his official capacity to Teheran. The mes-
senger had overtaken Mr. M'NEIL at Tabriz,
where he prevailed upon him to remain, till further
convinced of the sincerity of the SC H A 11. The neces-
sary proofs were to be forthcoming in a week, at the
expiration of which time the British Ambassador was
either to return to Teheran, or to continue his journey
to the Turkish frontier.

In addition to the above important intelligence, we
copy the following extract from a letter from Constan-
tinople, dated the 27th ult., which contains a summary
of the news of the Turkish Capital :

The general topic for several days has been the re-
ported determination of the English Government to put an
end to all the difficulties in which the Egyptian question is
involved, by obliging Mehemet Ali to disarm his land and
sea forces, and to give up hostile demonstrations against the
Porte. On this condition he is to be maintained in his pre-
sent possessions, in conformity with the treaty of Kiu-
taya, but still as a vassal of the Grand Seionor ; but,
in case he should refuse, force is to be used. According to
some, a communication to this effect has been made to the
Viceroy, and Admiral Stopford has been ordered to ap-
pear with his fleet before Alexandria, to enforce the de-
mand, should it not be complied with. What faith is to be
given to this statement we cannot say, but it gains credit
here. The decision of Mehemet Ali to pay the arrears of
tribute due to the Porte is now certain. M. Lafuente,
agent of two houses at Alexandria, charged with providing
the funds, arrived here on the 24th, to negotiate bills on
Europe to the amount of between 10,000,000 and
12,000,000 piastres. A steamboat arrived two days ago
from Trebisond, but she brings no news of importance or
interest from Persia. A courier extraordinary from London
had embarked in the steamer which left on the 21st for
Trebisond with urgent despatches for Mr. M'Neil. On
the 24th M. de Boutenieff had an audience of the Sultan
previous to his return to St. Petersburgh on temporary
leave of absence. His Highness presented the Envoy with
a splendid snuff-box, enriched with diamonds, and charged
him with the expression of his friendship and attachment
to the Emperor. On the 23d a grand Te Deem was
chanted at the French Embassy for the birth of the Count
de Paris. Salutes were fired from the French brig Argus,
and the Ambassador's residence was brilliantly illuminated
in the evening. The first number of an Italian Journal,
entitled Lo Stambol, has just appeared at Pera. It has
adopted this motto—l/oni soit qui mal y pense."
The Smyrna Gazette publishes a letter from Alex-
andria, dated the 16th ult., which states that notwith-
standing the present submission of the VICEROY,
manifested by the payment of the arrears of tribute, his
Highness has not relinquished his determination to effect
his independence. He merely admits that the presenttime
was ill-chosen, and that he was guilty of a great over-
sight in not previously endeavouring to conciliate the
Cabinets of England and France. The writer further
states that EKIJEL EFFENDI, a young Egyptian
educated in England, has been raised to the dignity of
a Bey, and appointed as a sort of Ambassador to ex-
plain the conduct and policy of the Viceroy to the
English and French Cabinets, in order to prepare
them for the development of the series of events which
he is at present contemplating. We should here
observe that the servants of the VICEROY have contra-
dicted these reports, without, however, shaking the
public faith in their entire correctne=s.
OnEssA, SEPT. 28.—After a pretty long continuance of
fine weather, the equinoctial storms were ushered in, on
' the 24th instant, by a violent thunder storm, which lasted

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1838

from four in the afternoon until eleven at night. The rain
came down in torrents, and the thunder was remarkable
not only for its violence, but its inoessant rolling. Fortu-
nately the wind, which blew from the east, was not very
high, otherwise the sixty ships that were in the roads must
have sustained much injury. The weather has been bad
ever since, and the wind, which at first seemed to turn to
the south, has veered again to the north-east, so that ships
coming from Constantinople have not been able to enter
the North Sea without the aid of steam-boats.

F:om the 12th January to the 12th September, the value
of Russian produce exported from Odessa was 19,471,479
rubles. The principal articles were—Wheat, 582,050
chettverts, value 10,606,806 rubles ; Linseed, 95,269
chetwerts, value 2,273,435 rubles ; Wool, 34,333 poods
(1 Food 36 lb.), value 2,042,700 rubles ; Tallow, 125,305
poods, value 1,465,170 rubles. Foreign articles were im-
ported to the value of 13,331,379 rubles ; 494 foreign ships
arrived, and 463 sailed.—Frankfort Paper, Oct. 15.

Madrid Joutnals of the 7th inst. have been received

his morning. They represent in the gloomiest light

the present aspect of the Spanish capital. The cor-
respondent of the Morning Chronicle, whose testi-
mony as regards the QUEEN'S Government may be
relied on as correct, thus describes the state of Madrid
on the 6th inst., humediately after the news of the de-
feat and death of General PARDINAS had been made

public :
I need scarcely say that the news produced the most pro-
found impression in Madrid. The funds fell to the, I be-
lieve, unprecedented low quotation of 154 ; the streets
were comparatively abandoned, dismay pictured in every
countenance, heightened by the apprehension that the
feelings of the people would find a vent during the night
in some terrible and illegal explosion. To prevent this
as far as possible, a proclamation, signed by the con-
stitutional Alcade of Madrid, calling on the people to
abstain from all violence, and informing them that the evil
was not so great as was at first supposed, was posted
up in all the thoroughfares. Some, however, of the
people, particularly of the National Guards, conceiving
that the proclamation was exclusively the production of
the Government, tore them down immediately, and much
fear existed that these demonstrations of indignation
against the members of the Government would proceed to
open insurrection against the constituted authorities. The
wavering movement, however, was controlled by the more
influential members of the National Guards and middle
classes, and the night passed over without any actual dis-
turbance of the peace of the city, which was certainly
much threatened at one time. While these serious and
threatening events were in progress, how do you think
the late and present Government, with their friends and
supporters, were engaged ? In nothing less than dis-
cussing the important question whether Isturiz or Mon
was to be the President of the forthcoming Cortes ! Such
is the occupation of the trustees of Spanish liberty at the
moment its very existence is threatened.
Government I believe there is none, not even the shadow
of one. Three of its members, the Ministers of Finance,
of the Interior, and of the War Department, I understand,
gave in their resignations last night. The cry was loud and
unanimous all day and this evening for a new government ;
but what steps have been taken to comply with the de-
mand, or who are the parties upon whom the choice of the
Queen falls, are not well known. An error committed at
this critical moment may be productive of the most serious
consequences ; twice in nine months have the people been
deceived ; I doubt if they will stand the test of a third ex-
periment on their patience. The proximity of Narvaez
and his eight thousand men, who are expected to be re-
viewed here by the Queen on Monday or Tuesday next,
may interfere with the correctness of my opinion should
another unpopular Ministry be appointed ; but even with
this sword suspended over the popular masses, the further
trial of their temper is an unsafe, not to say an injudicious,
measure. To save the country the arms of the people must
be unloosed, and their power directed by agents of their
own party and principles.
Such was the terror of the Ministers that they ac-
tually slept from home, lest they might fall victims to
some insurrectionary movement in the course of the
night following the arrival of the news of PAR-
DINAS' defeat. Fortunately, however, no distur-
bance occurred ; although an outbreak of the po-
pulace is very generally dreaded. So much for the
boasted non-intervention policy of England and France!
The prophecies of M. THIERS are in the direct
progress of fulfilment. Lord PALMERSTON may
now see whether it would not have been a wiser
as well as a more respectable policy to follow
the recommendations of The Sun four years ago,
than to adopt the shuffling, temporizing, das-
tardly suggestions of the Globe and Cfirouicle,
now exhibited in the conversion of a great natio❑ into
a horde of fratricidal brigands.
In this cup of gall we find one drop of honey. It
consists of the following despatch from General
NARVAEZ to the War Minister, dated Ciudad Real,
the 2d inst. :

" The rebel Chief Orejita died yesterday near Oyo.
His body is to be removed to-day to this capital. I am
also informed that the Cabecilla Malagueno Zarjeta and
others have made their submission, so that the entire ef
La Mancha is now completely pacified."

EAST INDIA HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.)

A Special Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was
held this day, at the Company's [louse in Leadenhall.street,
Sir J. Law Lushington in the chair.
The minutes of last Court were read and confirmed.

The CHAIRMAN acquainted the Court that it had been made
special, for the purpose of submitting, for the confirmation of
the Proprietors, the resolution of the Court of Directors of
the 9th instant, granting the sum of 5,0001. to the estate of
the late Mr. Fraser, Commissioner and Agent to the Go-
vernor-General in Delhi, on the ground therein stated. The
Chairman having put the question,
Sir C. FORBES said it was not his intention to offer any fac-
tious opposition to the resolution before the Court ; but he
felt it was a duty he owed to the Court of Proprietors to
maintain their rights, and who, he would again state, had been
called upon to decide on a most important question without
sufficient information being laid before them to en, ble them
to form a correct judgment upon it ; and he did, therefore,
on a former day, propose that the consideration of the subject
should be postponed until the next General Court-day. He
did think that after so long a period as three years and a
half had elapsed since the unfortunate occurrence which
gave rise to the proposal of the grant took place, during which
time the Directors had not been able to come to a decision on
the propriety of the grant—he did hope, he said, that the
delay of another month would not have been objected to, to
enable the Proprietors to obtain such information on the sub-
ject as was open to them. Being disappointed in that, he
moved that the dissents of those Directors who had dissented
from the grant shouid be read for the information of the
Proprietors, that they might have the same informa-
tion as the Directors were in possession of before they
confirmed a resolution which had been agreed to by
a majority of 11 to 5, in a Court of 16 Directors only, and not
a full Court of 24 Directors. He had now to request that
the dissents of Mr. Tucker and other Directors be read, and
in asking that he hoped he should not be considered as asking
anything uncommon or unreasonable, but something for which
there were many precedents, and to which, therefore, on the
present occasion, he trusted there would be no objection. He
had further to state, that although every exertion, by can-
vassing, had been made to induce Proprietors to vote for
the original motion, it was carried only by 162 to 44.
The CHAIRMAN said he must decline complying with the
request of the Honourable Baronet after a motion for reading
the dissents had been made in a former Court of Proprietors
and negatived. With regard to what had been said about
canvassing Proprietors, he could only say that he had
not canvassed any one Proprietor, and he should
have been ashamed to have done so, believing, as
he did, that the proposed grant to the family of Mr. Frazer
stood on such equitable grounds, that there was no occasion
for him to do so. As far, however, as he was personally
concerned, he had no objection to the dissents being read. _
After a long discussion, in which Mr. TUCKER and Mr.
JENKINS, Directors, and several Proprietors took part,
Mr. MARRIOTT moved for the production of the dissents,
but afterwards withdrew the motion.
The Court then adjourned.

Intelligence was received this morning from Bombay, an-
nouncing the death of Sir Robert Grant.

GUILDHALL.-(THISDAY.)

A Frenchman, rather fashionably attired, whose name we
understood to be Hilbert Etienne, was brought before M
Alerman MAGNAY under the following suspicious circum-
stances :

Mr. Thomas Brough, the landlord of the Ram Inn, deposed
that the prisoner came to his house on Thursday
night last In
a cab, and inquired if any one was waiting for him. "c
afterwards ordered coffee, and then went out, as he said, to
see a friend. In about two hours he returned, and again had
coffee. He remained at the house until Monday, when he
went away in a cab.
Mr. James Stevens deposed that he was at
present stopping
at the Ram Inn, and that on Monday afternoon, about three
o'clock, he discovered that the lock of his trunk had been
forced, and missed a pocket-book, containing two 20/, notes
and two let. notes. One of the notes was a Bank of Eng."
land note, and marked so that he could identify it if he saw it

—Policeman 18 deposed that when the prisoner left the Ram,
Inn he went to the Liverpool-road, and from thence to sever?l
other:places, and was found this morning in bed, at the Bull, in
Aldgate. On his person and in his trunks were found fifty-two
