tThat this sum, calculated as,an annuity guaranteed by

ts, subject to such regulations as may be applicable in

tiatt That, under this great accumulation of annual charge,
Pro !II iiresent state of the country, it is expedient to make

SOLEM OUTS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT

LONDON,
SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1822.

The accounts brought by the Paris Papers of
Wednesday do not throw any additional light
on the question between Turkey and Russia.—
The Austrian Observer still maintains a diplo-
matic reserve on this subject, but its wishes for
the continuance of peace are so well known that
its silence leads to the presumption that all the
efforts hitherto made by the mediating Powers
for the preservation of peace have failed. We have
no doubt that every exertion will still be made
for this purpose, but is it probable that these
efforts will be successful in the present state of
the, public mind in Turkey, and after the ante-
cedent declaration of the Porte ? 'We extract
the following article from The Moniteur, as in-
dicative of the approaching commencement of
hostilities :

" LINTZ, APRIL 19.—A report of General De Sabanief,
the Russian Commander in Bessarabia, to the Commander in
Chief, the Count Da Wittgenstein, announces, that several
movements made by the Turkish Generals in Moldavia seem
to indicate the approaching invasion of Bessarabia ; in conse-
quence of which, General De Sabanief had caused the corps at
Kischenoff to advance, and had augmented the advanced guard
on the Prath by several pulks of Cossacs. A corps of fine
Cossacs of the Don are marching to Bessarabia, to which des-
tination the division under the command of Gen. Ludziewich
was ordered to proceed. This division was expected to arrive
about the middle of April in Bessarabia, and to be followed
immediately by another division under the orders of General
Roth."

Further extracts from the Paris Papers are
given in a preceding column.

The report respecting the partition of the Eu-
ropean provinces of Turkey, to which we alluded
at the conclusion of our leading article yester-
day, was a few days since the general subject of
conversation in the political Circles of Paris ; and
an attempt to give it greater credibility was made,
by repeating an expression said to have been
used by the Marquis of LONDONDERRY in a con-
versation with the French Ambassador, the Vis-
count de CHATEAUBRIAND. In reply to some
overtures from M. de CHATEAUBRIAND, on the
subject of the affairs of Turkey, the English Mi-
nister is reported to have said—lT.s TQO LATE :
FOUR HOURS AGO, I SIGNED A TREATY WITH
AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA.

According to this account, a triple alliance has
been concluded between England, Austria, and
Russia, to which Prussia has become an assenting
party. The three contracting powers are to di-
vide among themselves the European provinces
of Turkey, with the exception of a certain por-
tion, which is to form a Greek State, and be
placed under the protection of the three powers
first above named. England, besides several
ports in the Archipelago, is to have Butrinto and
Prevesa, the principal sea-ports of Albania ;
Austria, to annex to her dominions Bosnia, Ser-
via, and some other districts ; Russia to take
possession of Moldavia and Walachia; and Con-
stantinople to be the seat of the new Govern-
ment ; but conjecture is silent as to the indivi-
dual who is to be placed on the throne of this
new Byzantine Empire. We cannot learn that
this report rests upon a more solid foundation

than the one we mentioned yesterday, yet it i;
entitled to the serious consideration of States-
men, for, if the Turks are to be driven out of
Europe, we know no arrangement better calcu-
lated to prevent the too great aggrandizement of
Russia; and considering the services rendered
by the ancient Greeks to civilization, and the
influence of their descendants, who quitted their
native country at the Mohammedan conquest, on
the restoration of 'letters, where is the generous
mind that will not hail with joy the re-instate-
ment Of the modern Greeks in the classic lands
of their ancestors ? However this may be, all
eyes are now turned towards the East, and cer-
tainly never was a wider field open to polictical
conjectures.

Extract of a Letter from Sierra Leone, Dec. 4, 1822.]

" Inclosed I send you a correct Account of the extent of the
Slave Trade in the Heights of Benin and Beafra, which I have
from the first authority:

Sailed from Calabar, from July to November 1820, one
hundred and one sail of Slave vessels, fully laden, under
Spanish, Portuguese, and French colours. Sixty-one during
the present year sailed from Benny,, from July to November
1820, 120 sal—Seventy this year.
Front Bembia and Cameroon.—The number could not be
exactly ascertained, but supposed to be on the same extensive
scale.—A great proportion of these Slave-Vessels were of a large
class, carrying from 12 to 28 guns, and from .50 to 200 men
each

The following French ships were at anchor in the river
Binny, when his Majesty's ship Myrmidon left :—Brig L'lris,

of Nantes ; ditto Leger, of Nantes ; ditto Prince, of Nantes ;
ditto L'Active, of Nantes ; ditto Eugene, of Havre ; ditto AI.
tide, of Nantes ; Schooner Fox, of Martinique.--The four first
had Slaves on board ; the others have lately arrived, and were
purchasing their cargoes. I also learn, that Dha, king of Sego,
has concluded the war he was for a length of time waging
against the Foulabs in his neighbourhood, for the express purl
pose of going to war with the king of Karta."

The discussion of the Agricultural Report was
last night, in the House Commons, deferred till
Monday, at the suggestion of Mr. BROUGHAM.—
The Resolutions,proposed by the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER for converting the 5,000,000/.
Naval and Military Pensions into Annuities,
were carried by a majority of 135 to 56.

The Licensed Victuallers of the Metropolis
yesterday held a Meeting at the Crown and
Anchor, for the purpose of taking into consider-
ation the measures proposed to be adopted for
throlving open their trade. The sense of the
Meeting was 'strongly opposed to the contem-
plated innovation in their trade, and a Com-
mittee was appointed to watch the progress of
the Bill, to prepare a Petition to Parliament,
and to obtain signatures to it. Several respec-
table Victuallers addressed the' Meeting, con-
tending that an open trade would destroy the
present traders, demoralize the people, and in-
volve eight thousand persons in ruin, who,
having obtained, loans upon their property, would
be compelled to dispose of it by their creditors
at whatever sacrifice. As to the demorctlizing
effect of abolishing the present licensing system,
we take leave to demur to the opinion of the
Meeting, well qualified as the victuallers may be
by their habits of life to judge of the temper of the
lower orders. That many of them have embarked
property in their concerns, and that that property
would very likely be injured by the proposed al-
teration, is another affair. Their business, there-
fore, should be, not to oppose the Bill, 'on the
presumption that they are wiser legislators than
the Members of the Houses of Parliament, but
to petition for compensation for the losses which a
new legislative enactment may occasion to them ;
and there can be little dcubt that the Legislature
will readily adopt any fair and reasonable pro-
positions that may be submitted fo it. It would
certainly be gross inj►►stice, to throw open the
trade, without considering the circumstances of
persons who have paid large sums for the leases,
of their houses, on the, faith that the present
licensing system would be continued.

IRELAND.--The storm which lately visited the
South-west of Ireland has been confined to that
coast.—The CoVance was commanded by Capt.
MORGAN, who was first Lieutenant of the En-
dymion, when that vessel captured the American
ship the President, and was promoted for his
gallantry on that occasion. One of the Officers
lost was Lieutenant SHEPHERD, who proceeded
in the CoVance with the intention of joining the
Brazen, commanded by his father Captain SHEP-
HERD, and stationed near Galway. Mr. CHET-
WYND, son of Sir JOHN CHETWYND, joined the
Confianee the very morning she sailed. The Lime-
rick papers state, on the mountains near Glanduff,
34 cows which bad been carried off by the insur-
gents from the county of Cork have been re-
gained by Lieut. ROBERTSON, of the. Rifle Bri-
gade, and restored to their owners. On the
night of ,Thursday se'nnight, a person knocked at
the hall door of R. H. JEVERS, Esq. of Castle
Jevers, a Magistrate for the County of Limerick.
Mr. JEVERS having himself gone to the door, was
informed by some one from without that he
wished to surrender a gun. Immediately on the
door being opened, however, the ruffian fired at
Mr. JEVERS with a short gun, the contents of
which passed close to his stomach. The villain
was So close upon his intended victim, that some
of the powder was lodged in his face.

The French Journals are filled with the most
afflicting detaiis of the devastations committed
by incendiaries in the provinces adjoining the
capital. We have the satisfaction to announce
that the authorities are taking the most active
and well-combined measures to put a stop to
these evils.

The French Chamber of Peers has discussed
and adopted the financial law lately sent up by
the Chamber of Deputies, so that the Session
will probably be closed in, a few days. The
opening of the next is fixed for the 4th of June,
the anniversary of the. day
son which the King
gave the Charter to his people.
THE KING'S VISIT TO. SCOTLAND.-Mr. MASH,
of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, has had orders
to go to Holyrood House, to prepare it for a visit
from the KING for next year. Special directions
were given him by his MAJESTY not to meddle
with the room which was occupied by the Earl
of I)ARNr.EY, the husband Of•the unhappy Queen
MARY ; • and we understand that a like interest
has been expressed concerning a room in which
King JAMES I. (from whom It is well known the
BituNswlcK family descended) was born.
Yesterday the Earl of LIYERPOOL had an au-
dience of the KING.

Yesterday his MAJESTY received visits from
the Duk'e of YORK, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER,
and the Princess SOPHIA.

Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD arrived at Dublin
on Monday. He proceeded from the Castle to
the Phcenix Park, on a visit to his Excellency
the Marquis WEt.LEsr.Ey.

The Prince of DENMARK is on his way to pay
a visit to this country, with his PRINCESS, and a
numerous retinue. One of the Royal yachts
proceeds to Calais in a few days, for the purpose
of conveying his Roraz. HIGHNESS and suite to
Dover.

It appears from the explanations of the Chair.;
man of the Bank Directors, that it is not the
intention of the Bank to issue one pound notes
but that the country banks which issue one pound
notes must " circulate Sovereigns." The only
effect of this will be, that the country bankers
must •provide themselves with a sufficient quantity
of gold to take up very small sums of their own
notes.

We understand that the trial of Mr. STUART is fixed for
the latter end of May. The 27th is mentioned as the day.—
