PIRACY.-The Liverpool Mercury. says—" In
consequence of the supineness of the Govern-
ment, and of the activity of the bucaniers, several
vessels in this port are now actually arming, as
they were accustomed to do during the war.
The ship Marshal Bennett, Captain WARTHutt,
amongst others, is about to proceed for the Bay
of Honduras, completely armed, manned, and
equipped, as a letter of marque."
The report in some of the Newspapers that
the robbers of the Ipswich mail were apprehend-

neither of these circumstances having yet occurred.

tXTRACTS FROM VIE D 1.1. Y MORNING PAPERS:
September 23, 1522.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
In an article from the Conservateur Impartial
of St. Petersburg'', there is a curious passage
with respect to the negociations at Constanti-
nople
" The Internuncio, it is said, of the Court of Vienfia, the
Ambassadors of France and England, as well as the Prussian
Chttrge d'Afaires, have proved what a firm will can do, when
it acts on'one consistent plan: If all these endeavours, as we
are 'authorised to hope, obtain the consent of the Porte, with
respect to some concessions and evacuations which are necessary
to the maintenance of peace, all the Christians of the East will
owe to this beneficent co-operation a solid establishment which
will not be endangered in times of war."
'As the Conservateur Impartial would not dare
to Speak lightly on such an important subject,
we may consider this article as a sort of official
exposition of the arrangement. Concessions and
evacuations I What are we to understand here
by-concessions and evacuations ? A piece of in-
formation was communicated to us some time
ago, to which we refused to give credit, because
we could not bring ourselves to believe that any
set of British Ministers would embrace a course
at once so very dishonourable and so opposed to
the interests Of the country, as that which this
information assigned to them. We were in-
formed it had been agreed on by the great
Powers, that, in order to buy off Russia, she
should receive the principalities of Moldavia
and Wallachia; but that in order to reconcile
public opinion to this act, a sort of guardian-
ship over the Greeks was to be conceded
by Turkey to the Holy Alliance, which, without
depriving the Turks of their Sovereignty, might
enable the great powers to interfere in cases of
notorious cruelty and oppression. It does not
require many words to show who would be the
gainers by such an arrangement. Russia, con-
scious of her moral weakness (though strong in
the number of her bayonets,) and of the inade-
quacy of her means for governing the active and
comparatively intelligent population of the greatest
part of Turkey, should she at once make a con-
quest of it, has always given the preference to
a system of gradual dismemberment, making
One province thoroughly Russian before she pro-
ceeded to seize another, and in this way she has
gone on, step by step, till she has reached the
Pruth, and she will probably content herself
next with the principalities. Every province she
receives in this way adds to her power of obtain-
ing still further cessions, and of effecting the
final conquest of the remainder.--The sort of
guardianship of the Greeks now obtained will
fUrnish a pretext for quarrelling with Turkey, at
the time most suitable for the prosecution of her
ulterior views.

[MORNING POST.]
A set of Bayonne Journals to the 15th instant
reached us last night. The Chamber of Corn-
therce of that City lately addressed an energetic
Representation to-the Government, complaining
of the injury which the' merchants sustained in
consequence of the measures adopted by the
Secret Committee of the Faith, of which General
Equia was President, to stop the mails going
to or coming from Spain. An article extracted
from the St. Sebastian Gazette says—" The
arrival of the French General Count d'Erlon at
Barcelona is but too true ; it is positively affirmed
that he has asked permission of the Spanish Go-
veinment to raise a foreign corps, to be called
nights of Liberty; and that it was strongly
believed he would obtain it."

[MORNING- lIERALD:j
The Paris Papers of Thursday were received
yesterday morning. , They contain but little
worth notice,—no intelligence of fresh date, or
of any specific facts, from the most interesting
places on the map of Europe, at present, Spain
and Greece. The total defeat of Quesada, the
insurgent Chief, in Navarre, is repeated without
any contradiction. But his fate is still in ob-
scurity—whether he escaped, or was murdered by
hiS own banditti, in a moment of savage and fanati-
cal disappointment at their defeat. The state of
the Greeks is still contended by some to be far
from desperate. It is clear, however, that they
must have suffered severely before the Turks
succeeded in recovering a footing in the Morea.
0.1 the Turkish success in Livadia, which led to
the occupation (or nearly that) of the Morea,
there are still no detailed accounts. Indeed
one of the motives for giving credit to the
alleged reverses of the Greeks is the aban-
donment of their cause by the. Augsburg Ga-
zette, a Journal hitherto remarkable for zeal
in their support. There are many ways in
which thiS' change of tone may be accounted for.
Philip of Macedon had the art of prompting the
Delphic oracle such responses as served his views
--perhaps some such influence has been exerted
over the oracle of Augsburg. Time alone can
elucidate the fact whether the Greeks are really
lost, or whether (as some of their advocates on
the Continent seem to think), pains have been
taken, and power and influence employed, to
represent them as without the least hope of in-
dependence, in order to rid. the Congress
,of an
embarrassing topic, and permit its whole atten-
tion to be given to the 44 restoration of order," in
Spain and Portugal.

[TII E Tons.]
Among the rumours with regard to the ap-
pointment of Governor-General for India are
two, which have reached us from such a quarter
as we conceive entitles them to notice. The first
is, that Lord William Bentinck has been named
to that high office. Lord William Bentinck is
connected with Mr. Canning through his brother
the Duke of Portland, who married the elder
Miss Scott, as that Right lion. Gentleman did
the younger. Lord William Bentinck has been
distinguished: as a soldier for cool and consum-
mate intrepidity. AS a man, both in public and
private life, his Lordship is considered to be of a
direct and upright character. The breach of
faith into which he was betrayed towards

the Genoese and other Italians was not of
his own choice. He is said, on the contrary,
to have felt himself personally outraged by the
flagrant violation of his solemn promises, which
was forced upon him in Lord Londonderry's
unprincipled despatches from Vienna. The
:subject of the second report is Lord Amherst,
an ex-Ambassador to China, and since a Lord of
the Bedchamber, but one who in that menial
office has shewn himself worthy of better things ;
for, unless we are mistaken, his Lordship did not
vote through thick and thin, as other placenien
were inclined to do, against the innocent and
persecuted Queen of England. Between these
two Noblemen, however, the balance is said to
incline to Lord Wm. Bentinck.

[NEW TIMES.]
Little business has of late been done in our
Funds, nor is there at present any great prospect
either of much advance or decline. The Foreign
Stock market, too, was considered dull, during
the greater part of last week. The new Spanish
Loan is likely soon to make its appearance on
our Exchange ; and as it occupies much atten-
tion at present, we have thought it worth while
to. turn our attention to the finances of Spain,
a sketch of which will be found in another part
of our Paper.—(See another column of TILE SUN.)
—Let the reader observe, that on the very face
of those documents, it plainly appears that the
deficiency of two years, compared with the ex-
penditure, amounts very nearly to three years'
revenue, estimated upon the actual receipts of
last year ;—that by accounts also published under
the authority of Government, their public
debt is 14,460,572,391 reals de vellon, or nearly
160,000,0001. sterling—that the collection of
Revenue is almost suspended—the country in
a state of almost universe-1 civil war—on the
verge of republicanism—gc- erned by men of the
most revolutionary principles, whose interest
and almost avowed object is the destruction of
Monarchy. Let him consider these things, and
then ask himself what imputations may not fairly
rest on those men, who, knowing every thing to
be as here described, shall still lend themselves
to the agents for getting possession of the for-
tunes of their fellow-subjects, with,ttle almost ab-
solute certainty, that neither that high interest
on which they calculate will be paid to them for
a single year, nor a tithe of their original capital
ever find its way back into their pockets.
