GERMAN PAPERS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. s.—Within these few days
there have been several meetings of the Divan, after which
the Dragoman of the Porte went to the hotels of the French
and English legations. It is inferred from this circum-
stance that important negotiations are on foot with these
two Powers, respecting which, however, profound secrecy
is observed.

The Russian Ambassador seems to pay much attention
to the frequent interviews of the Reis Effendi with the
representatives of France and England. Various reports
are in circulation respecting the cause of these diplomatic
movements. Among others, it is affirmed that the Ca-
binets of Paris and London are desirous of concluding, on
their part, a convention with the Porte, which may serve
as a counterpoise to the treaty of alliance with Russia,
and the chief object of which would be to secure the
integrity of the Turkish empire in its present extent. The
Sultan, however, it is said, is wholly devoted to Russia ;
and, so long as it depends on him, nothing will be done
that can displease Russia. Besides this, he has said the
late events had entirely distrusted the policy of France,
which he believes to be entirely identical with the interest
of Mehemet Ali. It is, therefore, not probable that the
Porte will enter into any engagement with another power,
which might be taken amiss at St. Petersburgh ; which,
however, must be the case, if a stipulation in the
spirit above-mentioned were entered into for check-
ing the dreaded supremacy of Russia. Meantime,
active negotiations are going on, and the Plenipotentia-
ries of the maritime powers have certainly no object in
view but to weaken the influence which the Cabinet of St.
Petersburgh exercises here. But for their regard of the
Sultan, for the Emperor Nicholas, they would have already
succeeded ; for all the persons about the Sultan, and the
'whole Divan, are in the pay of Mehemet Ali, and his
friends, Under such circumstances, the Sultan is in a preca-
rious situation, and exposed to many dangers. It will be
difficult for him to maintain his own policy, and to remain
faithful to the convention with Russia. In fact, he teems
already to have shown some weak points, which the anti-
Russian party had doubtless not failed to take advantage of.
Several couriers have already been despatched, or are on the
eve of departure, to carry information to their Courts of
the state of affairs here. Our situation is therefore still
very critical. The intrigues that are carried on under the
Sultan's eyes, make him more and more the sport of his
confidential servants. Conspiracies are carried on almost
openly ; and those who ought to enforce respect to the
laws are the first to set them at defiance. We are there-
fore not without fears of a new catastrophe.

CHRISTIANA, SEPT. 6.—The Storthing that has
broken up presented the following address to the King:—
" Sire,—According to Sec. 3 of the Constitution, Norway
has its own mercanti'e flag. It is of the highest import-
ance to every independent, and especially to a commercial
state, that its flag, the external emblem of its national
independence, should be recognised, and respected in all
seas and harbours. it has, therefore, been before a sub-
ject of consideration with the Storthing that the claims
which the Constitution gives to Norway, with respect'to
its flag, cannot be considered as realised so long as the
Norwegian mercantile flag is not respected by the
Barbary State. This national concern has led to
discussions and resolutions in former assemblies of the
Storthing, as the humble addresses presented by them
show, but hitherto without leading to the desired result.
Late political events, which have made a great change in
the relations of the Barbary States to the European
Powers, afford the present Storthing new and important
reasons for again addressing your Majesty on this National
affair. The Storthing, therefore, takes the liberty of re-
questing your Majesty, in case the Norwegian mercantile
flag, not being every where respected, should be further
excluded from the Mediterranean or any other sea, to lay
before the next Storthing as accurate a statement as possi-
ble of the obstacles which may still burden the freedom of
our flag, accompanied by a specific estimate of the sums
which might be necessary for the accomplishment of the
fundamental law in this respect, and of the wishes of the
nation.—Frankfort Papers, Sept. 2 4.

LOSS OF THE EARL OF WEMYSS
SMACK.—Lord Melbourne, with a promptitude that doc;
his Lordship infinite credit, upon a memorial from the
relatives of those who perished on board the Earl of
Wemyss smack, has directed a most rigid inquiry into
the circumstances under which that lamentable affair
occurred. The resident Magistrates, we understand, are
to assemble this day for that purpose. The relatives
have left town with Mr. Ashurst, their solicitor, to attend
the investigation, which has excited the deepest interest
in that part of the country (Brancaster). Too much
praise cannot be given to the magistrates for the
promptitude and zeal they have shown upon this lamen-
table occasion.
MELANCHOLY EVENT.—A respectable gen-
tleman, named Davies, of the firra of Davies and Co., ex-
tensive oil-merchants and drysalters, in Liverpool, com-
mitted suicide at Brampton, on Fridayby week, cutting
his throat. The unfortunate man
was in the habit of
travelling for orders in the way of business and arrived at
Brampton on the Monday. previous. He appeared to be
much agitated, and. indeed in. a somewhat deranged state of
mind, from the time of his reaching. that place, but no
apprehension was entertained of. his committing the dread-
ful deed by which be. lost his life.
intelligence of
of the de-
ceased, to whose family immediate. of the me-
lancholy event was sent, arrived at Brampton on Sunday
from Liverpool, and bad the body conveyed to the latter
Place in a hearse. The deceased was about forty years of
age, of a pleasant and lively disposition, was well known to
many individuals in this city and neighbourhood, and
much respected as a tradesman. The result of the Coro-
ner's Inquest, which was held on Saturday, was a verdict
of 44 Insanity.".—Carlisle Journal.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1833.

No official accounts have been received by the
vessel which arrived yesterday from Lisbon. It
appears certain, however, that the Lord of the
Isles steamer has been captured by the Consti_
tutionalists, after having landed her stores and
the French officers who were on board. It is
also known that another, if not two more vessels
in the service of the Miguelites, have been taken
and carried into the Tagus. It is reported that
there was a battle on the 14th, which terminated
in favour of the Pedroites ; but if this was the
case, the affair could not have been one of much
importance, as no information of it was brought
by the Orestes, which left Oporto on the 18:h
inst., and by which accounts from Lisbon of the
16th might have been received. It is not pro.
bable that Don PEDRO would have refrained
from sending an account to Oporto of any vic-
tory of consequence.

We understand that several of the inhabitants
of the parish of St. Pancras had a meeting last
night, for the purpose of forming an association
to indemnify the members for any losses that
they may sustain in resisting the payment of
assessed taxes. There are now many associa-
tions of this kind in London, and as the ex-
ample may be followed, it is probable that the
Government may adopt measures to prevent the
object for which they have been established.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER can-
not, however, be insensible to the conviction
which presses upon the minds of other men,
that the most effectual way of preventing com-
binations, which are calculated to impede the
collection of the revenue, would be so to improve
the mode of imposing taxes, and at the same
time to diminish the expenditure to meet which
taxation is necessary, that no man of right
feeling would join in an association avowedly
formed for the purpose of resisting taxation.
Every attempt to collect the revenue by
force must, if the impost be generally ob-
noxious, be attended with a loss of moral influ-
ence to the Government, and in the end,
whatever may have been the apparent suc-
cess of a resort to such means of collection
during the use of coercive means, the public
will be sure to beat the Government. That as-
sociations of this kind should be formed is with
us a source of regret, inasmuch as it shows
that the nation at large has not that con-
fidence in the general professions of Ministers
which it would have had if efforts had been
made to obtain it. At the same time, how-
ever, we would recommend a little forbearance,
in order to give the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER one more opportunity of introducing,
as of his own free will, an improvement in the
mode of imposing taxes, and enforcing upon his
colleagues the importance of reduction in every
department, so as to render it easy to reduce the
present heavy burden of taxation.

Our readers will recollect that the Bishop of
.LONDON, and other hardy assarters of the im-
maculate virtue of the Clergy, took upon them-
selves, without the slightest evidence worth a
straw, to contradict the statements made in
Parliament, towards the close of last session,
respecting the number of persons who had been

proceeded against in England on account of
tithes. We were much amused at the time with
the affected horror of the holy tribe at its being
supposed that any of their body could become
persecutors " on their own account." The good
worthy souls only instituted the suits complained
of for " the benefit of their successors," and if
any vexatious proceedings had been instituted,
they were by lay impropriators. Some of these
assertions were put at rest at the time, others
have been since completely refuted, and we have
now before us a tardily printed return of pro-
ceedings in one Court of one county only, which
would of itself be sufficient to throw ridicule
upon the clerical claim to excessive moderation.
It is entitled, " A Return of the Names of
the Parishes, respecting the Tithes of which
Suits were commenced in the Court of Chan-
cery of the County Palatine of Lancaster, in
each of the three Years of the Period commencing
16th August, 1830, and ending 16th August,
1833 ; with the Number of the Defendants in
each Parish, and the Dates when those Suits were
instituted." By this document, it appears that
in the first of these years only one suit was
instituted, to which there were three defendants.
In the second year, the Chancery Court of the
County of Lancaster had no bills whatever filed
for the recovery of tithes. The Act of Parliament,
which was intended to preserve this peaceful state
of things, by at once extinguishing ail obsolete
claims, having passed, a part of the Clergy of
the county took advantage of the unfortunate
clause which allowed them, within a certain
time, to set up these claims, by the filing of
eighty-five different bills, to which no less than
1,319 persons were defendants. Of eight plain-
tiffs six have " reverend " placed before their
names. There may be excuses for the conduct
of the laymen concerned in advancing even ob-
solete claims upon what is to them, for the mos t
part, hereditary property ; but what valid excuse
can be urged by the preachers of peace and
good will, for stirring up animosities long for-
gotten, we cannot imagine. The names of the
parties who have filed the bills against the 1,319
farmers of Lancashire are, the Rev. JOHN PED-
DER of Claughton, in the parish of Garstano•b •
the Rev. GARDNOR BALDWIN, of the parish
of Leyland ; THOMAS CLAYTON, Esq., and
others, of the parish of Rufford ; the Rev. ED-
WARD MASTER, of the parish of Rufford ; the
Rev. WM. GREEN ORRETT, of the parish of
Standish ; the Rev. Wm. YATES, of the parish
of Eccleston ; the Rev. JOSEPH ROWLEY, of
the chapelry of Statnime ; and THOMAS RICH-
MOND GALE BRADDYLL, Esq., of the rectory
of Ulverston. May they learn discretion

German Papers mention a report to the
effect that France and England are busily
engaged at Constantinople, in the endeavour
to conclude a convention with the Porte, which
may serve as a counterpoise to the treaty of al-

!lance with Russia. The SULTAN, however, is
said to be still devoted to Russian interests.

MIDDLESEX INTERMEDIATE SESSIONS,
(THIS DAY.)

John Harris, one of the swell mob, was indicted for
stealing a great coat, the property of Mr. E. Gregory.
The prosecutor deposed that he went down to Enfield
races with a party of friends on the 18th September last.
He had his great coat with him, and on one occasion left
the carriage and the coat on the box. He returned in a
very few minutes, when he found that it had been taken
away.

Edward Churchill, a groom, said he saw the prisoner
take the coat away and run with it into one of the booths.
Witness rave information to the police, who pursued him
and took him into custody with the coat in his possession.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Court
sentenced him to be transported for 7 years.
A number of other prisoners were tried for very trifling
offences, and sentenced to various short terms of I.
prisonment.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK,

The only arrival this morning of any consequence is from
Calcutta, of the 28th May, by which we learn that
the Indiamen driven on shore in the Bengal River, in the
hurricane of the 22d, remain in the same state. Few lives
have been lost, with the exception of some of the natives.
Up to the present hour we have no further information
from Portugal. The report of a second attack by Bour-
mont o❑ Lisbon, with his defeat, does not gain credit in
the City.
