LONDON,
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1821.

We received this morning the French Papers of:
Saturday, the contents of which will be found in our
preceding columns. An article from Leipsic givesl%.
on the authority of letters from Petersburgh, an as-r
count of the conditions proposed by Russia to. Oa'
Porte since the departure of the Baron de ST ttoGo-
NOFF from Constantinople. They are in substance
the same as those current in the Vienna political
circles, which have already appeared in our co-
lumns ; and if the Emperor ALEXANDER' is re",
solved on adhering strictly to those propositioncl

we consider war as inevitable, because it is im-
possible that the Ottoman Government can, coif-
sistently with the preservation of their inde-
pendence, accede to them.

DISTRESSING FraE.—The conflagration 00
Monday morning last was one of the most awful
and destructive ever witnessed in Halifax ; it
originated in Sackville-street, in the battery GC".
cupied by SHAY and M/LANY, and before it w 35
discovered had gained an alarming height•
was nearly two o'clock when the bells were
rung ; the troops, seamen of his Majesty's 0.4'7
and inhabitants soon assembled; the engineg
most judiciously placed, and every exertio"
made to extinguish the fire ; but we regret to
state, that before any check could be given to it
the whole stack of buildings, with the exceptit"
of a house, situated the corner of Sackville"
street, occupied by H. Crtosnrr.t, the house oci
copied by Mr. Ni:tr.sos, in Barrington-street, and
a stable belonging to Mr. JouNsox, were con- •
sumed. For some time apprehensions were
tertained that the fire would extend to the opP°
eke side of the street, but fortunately it did riot.

which 14 men were killed.

The absence of the KING from his.rvletr°l36llsl.-
far- st) long a space of time as 'illll' be ocr:uPea
by the excursions to Ireland and to the Conti" .
Went, is beginning tc be felt as a serious misfor'..
tune by the numerous classes of p€rsons whose
prosperity depends on the attractions of
Court. The Royal presence has been elegantlf
compared to that of the Sun, in the centre of the
system, vivifying all who are within the sphere ef
his influence, but particularly the INletrolFil;s' •
which generally enjoys the full fervenr of his
beams, while the. remote portions of the EnVife
are scarcely warme& or illuminated by his gei al
rays. The comparison, however, is carried too
far, when it is supposed that the Sovereign should
be in the centre of his dominions,because the
glorious luminary of day is fixed in the centre
of the solar system; or that injurious consequences
necessarily follow from his excursive movements!
because the planets would be fatally disordered
by an eccentricity of the Sun. The whole of the
.
planets, as well as the Earthfitted
, are no doubt fis--

which their positions respectively expose theme.

the animal or vegetable life Which they sustain.
If the Sun made a near approach to Jupiter or
Saturn, these planets would be as assuredly de-
stroyed by his proximity, as Mercury and Venus
by his distance. But a similar catastrophe does not
attend the visits of a Sovereign to the various parts
of his dominions. All the points of his Empire
are equally susceptible of the beneficial vigour
infused by his presence, or of the adverse gloom
and inactivity usually proportioned to tl--eir dis-
tance from him. Though London -may in some
degree languish during his occasional absence,
Dublin, Hanover, and Edinburgh, are not scorch-
ed and destroyed, but wai *.ed and enriched by
his approach. Ai the parts of the Empire'can-
not revolve, each in its best arid most healthful
orbit, around the Sovereign, the influence of the
Sovereign is most like that of the beneficent Sun)
when leaving, as often as the affairs of State will
Permit, the seat of government, he dispenses the
Powerful emanations from his presence through-
" all quarters of his empire, every where sti-
mulating the activity, exciting the resources and.
Promoting .„ • •,.
the prosperity of his people. We have
been led into these observations, in consequence
of complaints being made that the nineteen Lords
Juktices, appointed td exercise the functions of
Royalty duzing the I6NG'S absence, have not; by
condensing their' influence, formed a sort of Sub
Regal Court, which should in some measure com-
pensate to-the Metropolis for the gloom and inac-
tivity occasioned by the absence of Royalty:—
tut the Lords Jusiices are not so nuriie'rous,
because it was intended that 'by the union of
their splendour, an at traction should' Pe substi-
tuted for that of the Monarch. There 'are so
InanY as nineteen, lest by any accidfnt or neces-
sit.Y a smaller number should be suddenly ren-
dered incapable of performing their functions,
hot from any idea that the splendours Of the
Court could be maintained without .the presence
of the Sovereign. If there were but one, two, or
three Lords Justices, their sudden death might oc-
casion the machinery of government to stand

exclusively to their

There are so many, for the very- purpose of
