will doubtless hats alr;.a.dy anticipated us-
-that his MAJESTY should be accompanied to,
and from, the Mansion-house by a body guard of
his own subjects, the best and most efficient police
officers, and far more imposing than any military
cavalcade. We have no doubt that on his arrival at
Guildhidl,four staunch reformer-, in the persons of
the four representatives of the• City, will be pre_
sewed to him, as a striking proof how completely
the patriotic feelings of his MAJESTY, are in unison
with those of the metropolis of his empire.

A Reform Meeting took place this day at the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, for the purpose of re-
ceiving, and afranging the due distribution of, what-
ever sums the patriotic and loyal portion of the me.
ttopolis may think fit to contribute in aid of that
glorious cause, which now engrosses the attention
of all men from one end of the kingdom to
the otht r. The meeting was fully attended by Re-
formers of every grade add class, and was in all
respects satisfactory. Subscriptions have been al-
ready opened at most of the principal banking.
houses in the Metropolis, under the title of the.
Loyal Patriotic Fund. What loyalist, what
patriot, what man who respects his KING,
his country, and himself will refuse to sub-
setibe to this fund ? Let it not be said that the
boroughmongers were enabled to amass larger sums
to promote the rause of corruption, than the people
to promote that of the Constitution !

A most miserable failure, in the shape of an ad-
journed Anti-Reform meeting, was got up this day
at the Freemasons' Tavern. A more pitiable affair
was never heard of. The numbers at the very outside
consisted only of nineteen, including three atomics!
There was, no speaking, for after considerable in-
vestigation it was ascertained that not one tf
the squad knew how to. speak. One gentleman,
indeed, disburthened' himself of something which
a charitable listener might perhaps term a speech; but
his courage failed him before he could accomplish
three sentences, and, in the agony and confusion
of the moment, he sate down with an abrupt
proposal that the present meeting should be
dissolved, and that the members should retire
to discuss matters in private. Altogether the affair
had very much the aspect of a funeral party. We
wish CRUICKSHANK had been there !

The following are extracts from German, Dutch,
and Lisbon Papers, received this morning :
VIENNA, APRIL 14—According to accounts from the Polish
frontiers of the llth inst., a spirit of discontent is spreading more
and more, especially among the peasantry in those parts of the
kingdom of Poland which lie on the left bank of the Vistula. A
sensible scarcity of provisions is felt in the country, the little that
was on hand is sent to the army, and the operations of agricul.
ture are nearly suspended for want of seed corn.
The Globe of Pal is contains a letter from Florence of the 24th
of March, which has the following sentence :—"1,6u0 Austrians
have just marched through our city, on their way to Rome;
Tuscany begins to move; the arrival of their troops has excited
an extraordinary fermentation among thepeople."
This is another specimen of the kind of news which the Jour..
Hats of the faction are not ashamed to lay before their readers!
CON'STANTINOPLE, MARCH 11.---(From a letter.).—The
Porte manifests by almost daily ordinances, its zeal in prosecut-
ing the plans of civilization, which it has commenced. It
seems that we are to have a University, at least it is
known that the Sultan has asked the French Ambassador,

Count Guilleminot, for a plan. According to this plan,
instead of the Latin language employed in the French academies
in the elementary classes, the ancient Greek would be intro..
duced, and then the learning of the French language be espe-
cially attended to. The salaries of the professors and all other
expences to be defrayed by the State, and all Turkish subjects,
without distinction of religion, to be admissible. The patriarchs
of such nation are in future to have the regulation of the pay-
ment of the poll-tix."
The Courrier de Smyrne gives the chief articles of a hatti-
scherifYwhich the Sultan has issued in favour of the Rajas, and
for the introduction of a better administration in general. Every
Rajar subject of the Porte protected by the other Powers, who has
obtained the Ottoman flag for the Purpose of navigation, shall enjoy
the following privileges :—The Captain wears the uniform of the
regular naval troops ; the sailors have not to pay either the poll.tax,
karatsch, or any other personal tax. Goods shipped under this
flag are to be allowed a reduction of 10 per cent. on the duties
fixed by the tariff; for the most favoured European flag.
Vessels under the Turkish flag shall be absolutely exempt from
search. The goods belonging to the Captain and crew may be
conveyed and told wherever the owners think it advantageous,
without the Government being entitled to a new trau'it

duty. 71-he sailors shall be inscribed in the Capitan Pacha's
The Rajas, that IS, the Ciieekb, Aentrmians, Catholic Armenians
and Jews, as well as the Turks, shall he equal in the eye of the
laws ; nor shall a' Mussulman be entitled as such to any exclu-
sive privilege. In all the parts of Rumelia that have suffered
by the war, the Sultan has caused sums of money to be distri-
buted, and will send cargoes of corn, cheese, butter, and other
provisions to be distributed gratis among the poor Rajas. He
has also given 1,000 purses to the Holy Sepulchre. In order to
defray the expences connected with the enormous load of
debt, it is resolved, that all the Greeks in the Turkish
dominions shall pay a piastre per head fbr the benefit
of the holy places, to redeem the debt which has been
swelled by the bad conduct of the Pachas and of the
Greek Priests, and to defray the expenses of repairing the
temple of the Christians. 'I he Sultan has formed a plan to
organize a police in the European system, and with this v ew has
asked the foreign Ambassadors for a list of all persons known to
them ; for.,on a gross calculation, it is found that two indivi-
duals out of three are without any protection whatever, which
gives occasion to a thousand abuses equally unpleasant to the'
Porte anti to the Ambassadors themselves. The Ambassadors,
however, have not yet complied with this request ; the Sultan.
therefore, considers himself bound to make it for the third time
and if it is not regarded, he will send Ambassadors to the foreign
Courts, anti apply to the Sovereigns themselves.
With respect to the islands anst provinces not included in the
new Greek State, he grants them the following privileges :—The
Turkish Governors shall be subject in all their proceedings to the
decisions of the Universal Council, composed of the Primates. lhe
inhabitants can be judged only according to their own laws, and
never be withdrawn from their natural judges, the Turkish Go_
vernor can punish nobody without sentence and the approba-
tion of the Primates. The inhabitants of Samos shall not have
in their island either a Cadi or a Turkish Governor; they may
if they please require a Greek, their countryman, for their Go-
vernout They shall be allowed to have a flag of their own, on
which the sacred cross of the Christians shall be displayed. All
the Rajas shall wear the unitorm of the regular troops. The
troops shall immediately lay aside all the orders which they wear,
anti such insignia shall be granted only as rewards for valour
The Turkish soldier shall wear an epaulet to distinguish him
from the Raja.

cution embraced the Catholic religion.
