[BRITISH VRESS.3

The Marques; of Lansdown last night in the
louse of Lords postponed his intended motion
relative to th© Slave Trade until next Session.—

His Lordship concluded with stating that he
should not be able to attend again in his place
during the present Session.

The House of Commons were last night en-i
gaged, in Committee of Supply, in voting the
sums 'required for the miscellaneous services of
Ireland; and certain grants for civil contingen-
cies, &c. in Great Britain.' A further grant of
200,000/. towards relieving the exigencies of the
present condition of Ireland was also voted.—

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We have already noticed the real or pretended
ignorance of Lord Londonderry, with respect to
Turkey, when he attempted to ridicule the re-
legating five millions of Turks to Asia. We.
could shew his Lordship, from as good authority
as can be got for such matters, that there are not
above one million of Turks in Europe, and that
the Greeks, who form the indigenous population,
exceed them many times in number.—We in-
tended to have laid before our readers this
day some details, -shewing what the real si-
tuation of Turkey is, but we are compelled
to postpone them. They form the best an-
swer to the question, what ought to be the
policy of England on this eventful occasion ?
Affairs have now gone so far in Turkey, that
they must end in the independence of the
,Greeks, or their destruction. If a reconciliation
could be effected between the contending par-

ties, it is not the policy of England to wish it.—
England ought to wish to see a firm and well
cemented Power in Turkey, and it is utterly
impossible that a million of armed marauders,
holding above seven millions of Greeks in un-
willing subjection, can ever attain either strength
or consistency. That Turkey may be strong,
she must not be occupied by a divided. popula-
tion ; and as a choice between the Greeks and
Tucks becomes necessary, it is obvious that a po-
pulation ofseven millions must, with a, view to
strength, be better than one, leaving knowledge
and capability of iinprovement out of the ques-
tion,—lf England, neglects the present oppor-
tunity of securing Turkey while the Holy Al-
liance is unable to move, she will soon have
cause to repent it.—Do not let it be thought
that Russia has renounced her designs on
Turkey, or that the semi-official Declaration we
yesterday gave from a German Paper, is any
thing but a tissue of deceit. We trust we shall
be able to unmask that immoral power so com-
pletely, that not a shadow of doubt shall remain
with respect either to her views or her con-
duct. We shall exhibit the Magnanimous Alex-
ander in his true colours. Humanity and the

rue interest of England will be Clem' found

the same. If we can show this, and we can
have no difficulty in doing so, we conceive that
we have at least a claim on Government not to
aid the Turks, either directly or indirectly.
Without affording any pretext to the Members
of the Holy Alliance, there are various ways by
which Englishmen can assist the Greeks, and
defeat th'e policy of the Russians.:—lt is not
❑ecessary for U 3 to put them out at this time.

[MORNING HERALD."

An express has reached town from Madrid,
which brings information from thence down to
the 14th instant. The letters confirm the report
received by way of Paris of the resignation of
all the Spanish Ministers.; and although several
individuals had been applied to, to fill up
the vacant offices, it is mentioned that no
one had been found who -was willing to ac-
cept them ; and, under these circumstances,
the King is represented as being in a most
precarious situation, standing alone, without the
advice or assistance of any Minister whatever.
The City of Madrid, it is also stated, was
apparently tranquil, but important events were
expected to take place, and the people were held
in the most awful suspense. General Morillo has"
gained the entire confidence of the King, in con-
sequence of his having refused to accede to the
earnes soliciiations of the Spanish Guards to place
himself at their head, and oppose himself to the
existing Government. The arguments which
were made use of by the Officers were, that al-
though Ferdinand Might apparently uphold the
Constitutional System, he was, in fact, ultra-,
vourable to it; and that, in the event of the
general body of the military declaring in favour
of the ancient order of things, his wishes would
be accomplished, and he would support the
troops. General Morillo, being convinced of the
contrary, did not hesitate to declare his opi-
nion ; and in order to convince the troopS that
the King entertained opinions different to what
they imagined, obtained an interview for ' depu-
tation of.several of the Officers with the King;
but notwithstanding the assurances of his Majesty,
the Officers withdrew and again joined their re-
giments, without any inelestation being offered
thetn.
