CONETANTINOPLE, DEC. 17.—Letters from Aleppo,
dated Nov. 25, contain the following information, the
veracity of which may entirely be relied upon : —" Ibrahim
Pacha made his entry into our town on the 25th October.
This General constantly expresses the best intentions
towards Syria. Unfortunately his doings have hitherto
been contrary to his promises. Immediately after his ar-
rival he raised the contribution termed 111ouharemie, which
Scheriff Bey, moved by compassion on witnessing the
misery of the inhabitants, had kindly put off. His High
ness then made a demand of 1,000 men to form a regi-
ment, of which he is to be colonel. After putting in
requisition the sons of the principal families, rather in
order to have hostages than, officers, he felt very much
disappointed to see that all the men above fifteen, had
run away from the town or hidden themselves. The
soldiers of the garrison, in compliance with orders, forced
open during the night the houses pointed out by the spies,
and seiz -d the inhabitants while asleep. The greatest
confusion prevailed throughout the town. Women ran fran-
tic through the streets asking for their husbands or children,
and children crying aloud for their fathers. The old men were
unmercifully bastinadoed till they revealed where their sons
had concealed themselves. We have bad for several (Lys
before our eyes the most heart-rending scenes. These
harsh measures failing in obtaining the required number
of soldiers, the elders of the town were forced to furnish
each their contingent. For this money became very
necessary, and the population of the town was obliged to
pay between 4,000 and 5,000 purses. . _

"On the 22d inst. Ibrahim left this town. After
visiting Jerusalem, Damascus, and the principal places in
Syria, his intention is to return to Antioch, which as a
place of residence he prefers to every other. His father
has approved his choke. His Highness talks of carrying
several new plans into execution in our country. His
favourite one is that of uniting the Euphrates to the
Orontes by a canal. This undertaking depends, however,
on the possession of the Pachalic of Bagdad and Mesa-
potamia, to which it would appear lie aspires.
" The new Government has already begun interfering
with our privileges as Europeans. The principal question
for the moment is relating to tbo,e natives employed by
the consuls and merchants. Boghoz Bey, Minister for
Foreign Relations at Alexandria, has now, for the second
time, been addressed on the subject."
This description of the state of things in Syria, though
not of a very promising nature for the future, is neverthe-
less exact. Complaints become louder and louder every
day, and every one apprehends that henceforth our situa-
tion can only change from bad to worse.
A deputation of Candiots arrived here on the 12th, and
immediately presented themselves at the Porte with a pe-
tition, signed by the principal inhabitants of the island,
both Turks and Rajahs. After enumerating the numerous
vexations to which Mehemet Ali's administration has sub-
jected them, contrary to the solemn promises made to
them during his stay in Candia, they represent the b ba-
rons manner in which the troops under the command of
Mustapha Pacha have lately acted against the natives.
Thirty-five individuals, of whom five were Turks, and the
rest Greeks, were, according to their statement, hung by
the Pacha's orders, without undergoing any trial. They
implored the interference of the Porte in their behalf. The
Turkish Minister forwarded a copy of this memorial to
the Ambassadors of England, Fiance, and Russia, re-
questing them, as their Governments guaranteed the inha-
bitants of Crete that they should live free and unmolested,
under the mild administration of the Paella of Egypt, to
inquire into the matter ; and in case they found the com-
plaints of the petitioners warranted by facts, to make due
representations to Mehemet Ali, and invite him to desist
from a system which inevitably would bring about the ruin
of that island.

In my letter of the 10th instant I told you that a note
bad been presented to the Porte by the Russian Minister,
declaring the firm resolution which the Emperor had ex-
pressed upon receiving information of the protest made by
the Ambassadors of England and France at Constantinople
against the treaty conclud.d in July between Turkey and
Russia, of remaining, in spite of every opposition, faithful
to his engagements. I informed you also that a courier,
bearer of the Sultan's answer, had in haste been sent to
St. Petersburgb. Preparations for the defence of the
Dardanelles were immediately ordered. 7,000 men,
encamped at Nicomedia, have marched to the fortresses.
The garrison on their arrival will amount to 20,000. The
troops at Adrianople have received orders to hold them-
selves in readiness. Several Russian engineers, it is
reported, who lately arrived from Sebastopol, have been
sent to Gallipoli. The fleet of Russia in the Black Sea
is, as mentioned in my list, ready to sail. Every ship
capable of putting to sea has been armed, after an order
from St. Petersburgh, dated November 26th. Every one
here considers war as inevitable. The news of the arrival
of reinforcements to the English and French fleets at
Vourla has cvcrjoyed the Turks, and they are enraged to
see that at a moment when prompt and energetic measures
should be taken so much time should be spent in unprofit-
able negotiations. The effervescence of public. spirit is
such at present, and so enraged is every Mussulman
against the Sultan, that many persons feel confident, that
on the news of the arrival of the French and English
fleet at the Dardanelles reaching this, Mahmoud would
forfeit either his life or his throne before a week was
over. Mr. Constantine Mano, secretary of the Greek
Minister appointed to Constantinople (M. Zograplros),
arrived here on the 13th.

-•.The news from Bagdad has produced much uneasiness
at the Porte ; Ali Paella, after being completely defeated
by the insurgents, has been compelled to shut himself up
in the citadel. There is little chance of his succeeding in
reinstating his authority in the pachalic, the Sultan having
no disposable force to send to his assistance, and the
troops under his orders not amounting to 2,000. The
English Ambassador has demanded his dismissal, in con-
sequence of his insolent conduct towards the English resi-
dent at Bagdad. lie not only bistinadoed and imprisoned
his interpreter and servants, but obliged Colonel Taylor to
pay 10,000 piastres before he would consent to release
them. So little is, however, the political consideration
enjoyed by the English—so great the contempt which
their unmeaning conduct has obtained for them—tbat
Lord Ponsonby's demand will not be thought even worth
the attention of the members of the Divan. Of late espe-
cially, even in questions of the most trifling nature, the
Turks in office seem purposely to have done every thing in
their power to convince the English of the little regard in
which they are held.

BILBERRIES AT CHRISTMAS.—Last week
a person named Thomas Bargh, gathered a number of
bilberries in Barlow Woods, near Chesterfield.
The author of " Wild Sports of the West"
has the happy art—the art allotted to so few—of making
himself at home everywhere, and placing his reader on the
same easy footing. Thus we have him " hail fellow, well
met," with a grim old smuggler, whose brandy—and we
suspect be is a judge of these matters—he pronounces ex-
cellent, and so wins the gruff dog's heart; the next, booz-
ing with a party of six bottle sportsmen, one half of whom
he has the satisfaction of seeing safely stretched at full
1. ngth under the table ; now bandying jokes, giving anec-
dote for anecdote, and piling load upon load of jolly
exaggerations, with a half savage otter hunter ; and anon,
sympathising with one eye while he laughs with the other,
at the sorrows of a cockney, who finds himself in the very
heart of the wilds of Galway. Our literature is singularly
deficient in lively graphic works of this sort. Numerous
characteristic illustrations embellish the volumes.

THE HEIR OF HEATO NT-..0n Tuesday last,
the ceremony of christening Lord Grey de Wilton, the
infant heir of the Earl of Wilton was performed at Prest-
wich Church, which appeared very gay on the occasion,
ten or twelve carriages being in attendance. The Rev.
Mr. Lyon christened the infant heir—Arthur Edward
Holland Grey. Lady Elizabeth was also christened at the
same time. The godfathers to the heir are the Duke of
Lord Skelunersdale ; Lord Robert Grosve-
for the Duke, but Lord Skelmersdale at-
NnVoerllNivnagstopnroaxnyd
tended in person. Mr. Egerton, of Tatton,Mrs. Hibbert,
and Lady Robert Grosvenor, stood for Lady Elizabeth. In
the evening a most splendid banquet was served np to a
very large company at the Hall. At ten dancing com-
menced, and was kept up with great animation till four in
the morning. The Countess looked uncommonly well,
and added to the gay scene by joining in the magic move-
ments of the ball room. On Wednesday the noble Earl
again displayed his English hospitality to a numerous
company..—Liverpool Chronicle.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 14, 1834.

The Augsburg Gazette, which arrived this
morning, contains copies of the notes exchanged
between the British and Russian Cabinets. We
subjoin them without comment, having already
so fully expressed our opinion of the leading
points which had previously transpired. The
answer of Russia bears the date of October.
How was it that more than two months elapsed
before the Duke de BROGLIE discovered that it
was quite satisfactory ?

" First—The undersigned Charge d'Affaires of his
Majesty the King of the French has received orders
to express to the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh the pro-
f,und affliction felt by the French Government on
learning the conclusion of the treaty of the Bth of July
last, between his Majesty the Emperor of Russia and
the Grand Seignor. In the opinion of the King's Govern-
ment, this treaty assigns to the mutual relations exist-
ing between the Ottoman Empire and Russia, a new
character against which the Powers of Europe have a
right to protest. The undersigned is therefore instructed
to declare, that if the stipulations of this act should sub-
sequently lead to an armed intervention of Russia in the
internal affairs of Turkey, the French Government, acting
from that moment as if the treaty bad no existence, will
consider itself at full liberty to adopt such a line of conduct
as may b suggested by circumstances. The undersigned
has likewise been ordered to make known to the Imperial
Cabinet, that a similar declaration has been transmitted
to the Ottoman Porte by his Majesty's Ambassador at
Constantinople.
(Signed) " J. DE LAGRENEE.
" St. Petersburgh, October, 1833."
" The undersigned has received the note in which M.
J. de Lagrenee, Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the King
of the French, has signified to him the profound regret
which the conclusion of the treaty of the Bth of July i
between Russia and the Porte has occasioned to the French
Government, without, at the same time stating either the
motives of that regret or the nature of the objections to which
the treaty can give rise. The undersigned cannot, therefore,
be acquainted with them ; still less can he understand
them. In fact the treaty of the Bth of July is merely
defensive : it has been concluded between two independent
powers in the plenitude of their rights ; it is without
prejudice to the interests of any other State whatsoever.
What then can be the objections which other Powers can
justly think themselves authorised to make against such a
transaction ? Above all, how can they declare that they
do not acknowledge it to be of any value, unless it be their
object to overthrew an empire which the treaty is intended
to preserve ?
" But such cannot be the design of the French Go-
vernment. It would he at open variance with all the de.
clarations made by it at the period of the late troubles in
the East. The undersigned must consequently suppose
that the opinion stated in the note of M. de Lagrenee
rests upon incorrect data, and that when more accurately
informed on the subject by the communication which the
Porte has recently made in respect of the treaty to
the French Ambassador at Constantinople, his Go-
vernment will better appreciate the value and the
utility of a transaction, the spirit of which is no less
pacific than conservative, It is true that this act
changes the nature of the relations between Russia and
the Porte; for in the room of long-continued hostility, it
substitutes that friendship and that confidence in which
the Turkish Government will henceforth find a guarantee
for its stability, and if necessary, means of defence calcu-
lated to insure its preservation. In this conviction, and
guided by the purest and most disinterested intentions; his
Majesty, the Emperor, is resolved in case of necessity, ro
discharge faithfully the obligations imposei on him by
this treaty of the Bth of July; thus acting as if the de-
claration contained in the note of M. de Lagrenee had no
existence.

" St. Petersburgh, Oct., 1833.

We have received the Paris Papers of Sun-
day. They are chiefly filled with a report of
the speech of M. HUMANN, the Finance
Minister, in the course of which he announces
that a loan has become necessary to cover the
deficit in the Budget, to which allusion was
made in The Sun of yesterday. This falling
off in the finances, added to the dissatisfaction
occasioned by the retractation of the sentiments
expressed by the Foreign Minister respecting
Poland and Russia, has given rise to a report in
Paris that a change of Ministry is at hand.
This report is by no means improbable, for
independently of the circumstances refereed to,
we have reason to know that the Ministry are
by no means satisfied with the tone of the
Chamber of Deputies. So far as the mainte-
nance of public order, and the support of mo-
narchical institutions, are concerned, the Cha►n-
her will co-operate with the Ministry ; but the
Deputies, with the exception of the direct
Ministerial partisans, who are so from place or
other ties of interest, will exercise a considerable
degree of independence. In the last year they
made many concessions to the Government, and
strengthened its hands against the republicans•
This year they will think seriously of making
concessions to public opinion as the only chance
of their re-election. It is astonishing how very

patriotic the approach of a general election
makes the representatives of a people. They
are as cooing and coaxing during the last session
as a schoolmaster is during the month preceding
the holidays, in order that his pupils may forget
the ill-usage of the four months, and report the
kindness of the fifth.

The papers contain no news of interest from
Spain. It is stated, however, in private letters
from Bayonne, that there are symptoms of
revolt at Toledo, and that General RoDIL, in
expectation of an attack in the direction of
Zamora, has written to Madrid for reinforce-
ments.

We lately indulged ourselves in forming some
conjectures and making some suggestions as to
the measures to be brought forward by the Mi-
nistry, in the approaching session, with reference
to England. We shall now apply ourselves to
Ireland, but before proceeding thither, we beg
leave to state the means which exist in England
for affording relief to Ireland—we mean in the
removal of restraints which derange and repress
industry. Surplus labour and surplus capital
are anomalies in an industrious and intelligent
country, and such surplus could not arise but by
reason of such restraints, the removal of which
would not only enable us to employ our own
population, but we should require assistance in
labour from Ireland. There are about twenty-
seven millions of acres in cultivation in England.
If these twenty-seven millions of acres were cul-
tivated as they ought to be, the crop could not
be reaped without Irish labourers. In the low
country of Scotland, where a produce of be-
tween forty and fifty bushels per acre is no un-
common crop, it could not be cut down without
the Highlanders, who flock to the low country
in autumn to assist in getting in the harvest.
There from forty to fifty reapers may be seen
in many fields, when so many as four or five
are not to be seen in any field in England.
This is one instar.ce. Another may be given
in the manufacture of glass, where for one man
now employed in it, perhaps not less than one
hundred would, but for the monopoly occasioned
by the excessive duty, the removal of which is
of the more importance at the present time,
when money is rising in exchangeable value, be -
cause glass might be substituted for many articles
for which gold and silver are used, and we might
surpass all the world in this beautiful manufacture,
as we have done in China, which last we never
should have done if its manufacture, like that of
glass, had been put under the trammels of the
excise.

Ireland suffers from the effects of a bad go-
vernment for several centuries, many of which
will require time to remove. Scotland did not
benefit from her union with England for nearly
half a century after it. But since the year
1760 there is no country in the world
which has advanced so rapidly in improvement.
Ireland, however, is also suffering from a course
of improvement by which England and Scot-
land once suffered, we mean, by small holdings
being converted into proper sized farms. This
is a course of improvement which should not be
interfered with, but provision should be made
for the dispossessed ; and it so happens that
Ireland contains within herself the means of
doing so. There are nearly three millions of
English acres of bogs in Ireland traversing that
country from east to west, like a belt, from sea
to sea, while all the rivers in Ireland run from
north to south. Nature thus presents the means
of draining and improving these bogs, by carrying
off the waters from which into the coterminous
rivers, the bogs may not only be easily drained;
but the benefits of navigation may be combined
with those of drainage. It is impossible that
these benefits can be attained, or that the ob-
stacles to the improvement of the bogs presented
by the numerous claims upon them can be re-
moved otherwise than through public commis-
sioners. In our own remembrance, when the
Highlands of Scotland suffered from the introduc-
tion of sheep farming, as Ireland is doing now from
the enlargement of farms, Lord SIDMoUTH'S
Government opened employment to the sufferers
by the Highland Roads and Bridges Act, and
by the Act for making the Caledonian Canal.
For these purposes Commissioners were ap-
pointed to hold their sittings at Westminster,
in order that they might be thus removed from all
jobbing, and all local prejudice and bias. So, in
order to give the means of locating the dispossessed
from small holdings in Ireland, Commissioners
should be appointed to hold their sittings in
Westminster for the drainage of the bogs of
Ireland. When agreements shall be made, as
they may be made by such Commissioners, with
proprietors of bog land for its improvement,
there will be no difficulty in finding contractors
able and willing, at their own risk and expense,
to undertake the drainage and improvement, and
thus the whole of these bogs capable of cultiva-
tion may be rendered productive, at a compa-
ratively small expense to the public, while
immediate employment, to a considerable extent,
may be given to the poor of Ireland.
As the making of the Caledonian Canal was
intrusted to Commissioners at Westminster, so
the superintendence of the navigation of the
Shannon should be given to such Commissioners.
A board for this purpose no doubt exists in
Ireland ; but its means have been perverted and
abused, and the works have been neglected.
This noble river rises in the county of Roscom-
mon, and, forming a succession of navigable
lakes in its progress, reaches the sea below
Limerick, after rolling 200 miles. At its source
are the finest seams of coal and iron-stone in the
world, remaining useless in the bowels of the
earth, from the want of the means of transport,
through the neglect of the navigation, and the
want of capital and industry in Ireland, which
may receive an impulse through the establish-
ment of such commissions.

The forming of proper roads of general com-
munication we think also should be confided to
such a commission. But here the Government,
we are afraid, must go further than they did in
Scotland, in the first instance, though we think
also with less ultimate expense. For making
Highland roads and bridges the Government

advanced only one half of the expense, upon the
other half being previously advanced by those who
desired to have the road made or the bridge built.
We believe the Greek calends will arrive
before one half the expense will be raised by
landowners in Ireland. We, therefore, propose
that Government shall lend the whole money
required to make a road upon the security of
the land in the parishes through which it passes.
An immediate advance of the whole expense
will thus be required, but the value of the land
will be so much improved by the road passing
through it, that the whole expense may be got
back in a reasonable time.

If an example shall be thus set, and a stimulus
thus given to Ireland by the Government, we
have no doubt it will be followed by individuals.
There is a Highland society in Scotland for
the improvement of the Highlands. Why
should there not be an Irish society for the im-
provement of Ireland ? There is a society for
the improvement of the British fisheries, which
has establishments on the North and West
coasts of Scotland. Why should there not be
such a society for the improvement of the Irish
fisheries, and many others ?
But there is another public measure which we
desire to press upon our rulers, namely, the with-
drawing entirely of the local government of
Ireland. Let there be an end of the Lord
Lieutenant, of the castle, its favourites, and all
itsassystem of favouritism.

The German Papers, which arrived this
morning, contain accounts from Constantinople
of the 19th ult. They state that the British
and French fleets have, on the remonstrances of
the Divan, been ordered to Toulon and Malta
as their winter stations. Hence it is inferred
that all apprehension of war is groundless. This
inference is certainly a reasonable one, so far as
regards the point lately in dispute, for the
British and French Governments have purchased
a temporary respite by a further concession to
Russia. They have found out, like Acres in the
play of the Rivals, that no offence was intended,
and that there is no necessity for fighting. It
must not be imagined, however, that, as in the
instance to which we have alluded, there was
any dread of hard knocks. The secret lies in
the want of pecuniary means to carry on a war,
The French budget exhibits a deficiency of three
millions sterling, and Lord ALTHORP, so far
from having a few millions to spare for the ser-
vice of the Admiralty and the Horse Guards,
is at his wit's end to find the means of making
good the deficiency which is expected to result
from a further remission of taxes. In this case''
we pocket the affront, and let Russia do as she
likes, magnanimously reserving the power of as-
serting that we have not been affronted. All this is
very well for the moment ; but it should be borne in
mind that concession to Russia does not prevent,
although it may delay, the breaking out of a war,
and that delay with us in such a case is full of
disadvantages and danger. The schemes of
Russia are not quite ripe for execution, and,
therefore, she consents to a sort of compromise!
When they shall have ripened she will be in a
still better condition to offer defiance, and we,
probably, shall be in a worse condition to carry
on a war which shall have become an affair of
necessity.

The British and French Governments appear
to have taken too limited a view of Russian
ambition and of its probable consequences
to Europe. France, however, is doubly in-
terested in resisting at once the aggression
of the Emperor NICHOLAS, for with her
it is not merely a point of prudence to resist
Russia as respects her commerce and her influ-
ence over other States, but also of necessity as
regards her political existence. Russia is not
contented with attacking Great Britain and
France through her increased power in Turkey,
but she also sets on the German Sovereigns to
assemble a Congress at Vienna, at which ar-
rangements are to be made to exclude every
thing liberal from the whole of Germany, and to
create an alliance specially directed against those
institutions by which France is now governed.
The slightest reflection, therefore, will show that
in conceding to Russia France is preparing the
way for the destruction of her own independence.

Many of the provincial papers in the agricul-
tural interest have been publishing the following
statement, originally made, we believe, by the
Glasgow Courier :

" While British landholders are asleep, the Americans
are pouring their wheat into Canada, to be ground there,
and then sent to this country as colonial flour. Last
year the importation into the Clyde of what is called Ca-
nadian flour was equal to about a sixth part of all the
electoral district of Glasgow. It will rapidly increase, and
in a few years it will effect a reduction in the price of
corn nearly as great as if the trade were free. The average
value of flour in the corn exporting districts of the United
States is about 21s. ; freight to Liverpool, 21. ; total cost
in Liverpool, 235. ; present price of wheat imported from
Canada, 321. Profit by the transit through Canada, 95."
We think there is some exaggeration here as
to the low average price of corn in the exporting
districts of the United States, and it is certain
that in some of the States of the Union 40s. is
a usual price. It is, however, perfectly true
that the price is low enough to give a profit to
the kind of operation described, nay, even to
taking Baltic wheat to Canada and bringing it
back again. The British landholders will soon
awake, we hope, not as our contemporary desires,
to the necessity of further " protection," but of
a law which will, by its encouragement of direct
trade, not render such circuitous operations
necessary. They may depend upon it that any
restrictive law will some how or other be just as
inoperative as the present.

It is not often that we have occassion to ad-
mire the conduct of police Magistrates in cases
concerning the industrious poor. Poverty, ge-
nerally speaking, is an unwelcome guest at a
police-office, and little care is taken to distinguish
between industry and idleness if both be clothed
in rags. It will be seen, however, from a case

at Marlborough-street, in this day's Sun, thsl
this observation is not applicable to the conduct
of the Magistrate, Mr. CONANT, with reference
to some poor fruit-sellers who were charged b
a police officer with the enormous offal
of endeavouring to obtain bread for their
children by selling fruit in the streets on Sunday'
Mr. CONANT very properly remarked onzthi
cruel officiousness of the police towards. t,
crime"
their creatures, and said that he saw no crime'.
their conduct, an observation in which, wittrOlit
being deficient in respect for the sacred character 01
the day, we cordially concur. There can be 110
reason, in a religious point of view, for driving
poor women from the streets where they OA
and industriously labour for the support of their
families, merely because the churches are open
for divine service, considering that a thousand
shops
other occupations, not at all more harmiesl
than their own,. necessarily

go on, tolrelo

permitted to be open. Mr. CONANT AP'
pears to set a very just estimate upon thl
affectation of piety in a certain class of per'
sons who know not the necessity of labour, 01
who can at least afford to exchange labour fel
recreation on Sunday, and he recommends a ces'
sation of those restrictions by which many pOOl
persons are prevented from earning the mean
of supporting themselves and their families, 101
which are as much opposed to the doctrines of
Christianity as they are at variance with the toil
interests of society, which require that ever]
facility should be given to the poor in their
endeavour to obtain a maintenance by hone
industry.

SIMPSON V. RALPH.

This was an action to recover a surgeon's bill, which W

a verdict was found for the plaintiff for 111.

On the trial It was proved that the plaintiff had attended tl
defendant for an affection of the eyes, and his wife for a pall
tation of the heart and a bad cough, from the spring till ti
Christmas of 1832, and that during that time he sent in med
cines very frequently. A surgeon was also called to prove 01
the cases were surgical ones, and that for attendance and t/
medicines necessary for them, 11/. was a fair and reasonal?

charge. The balance was proved to have been paid. A chyltt'
was also put in the box, to prove that the plaintiff had not aCV"
as an apothecary, but had written his prescriptions and sent the °,

Mr. Cummiso now moved for a rule to show cause why the
verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had, on t'''','
ground that the plaintiff not being an apothecary could not
recover for any medicines he had supplied, and that in the

Mr. Baron 13svtEv (who presided) said a surgeon
