THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY MEETING of the RAMS-
GATE- BIBLE 'ASSOCIATION was holden at the Albion AS-
sembly Room, on Wednesday last, T. TENPLEMAN, Esq. in
the, Chair, when an interesting; report of the proceedings of the.
AssoCiation since the last meeting. was read, from which it ap-
peared, that the operations of the institution have been widely ex-
tended, and productive of much.benctit to the poor ; 1_39 Bibles
and 23 TeStaments have been distributed, and there are now
164 poor people, subscribers, to obtain the word of God. The
claims of,this and similar institutions to universal support,with-
out distinction of sect, were most eloquently and.forcibly urged
by the R6verend Dr. Thorpe (from the Parent, Society) Re-
verend Slr. Sandpi,- Mr. Bartlett, Mr. E—Phillips? and
Burden, Esq. M.D.- The meeting was numerous.and-highly
respectable. At the close of the proceeding, a collection was

SOLEM QUIS DICER? FALSUM AUDE4T?

LONDON,
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29; 1821.

The French Papers of Tuesday and Wednes-
dayovhich arrived this morning, bring no deci-
sive intelligence respecting the question of peace
or war between Turkey and Russia, which is
still involved in the same uncertainty. We have
given ample extracts in another column, .and are
sorry to observe that the yellow fever is making
dreadful ravages in Barcelona, and has manifested
itself in other parts of Spain, and at Marseilles.
Every precaution, we are enabled to add, has,
been taken to prevent its furtlier progress.

The Dutch Mail, received this morning, brings
the following version of the long-talked of Note
of Baron STROGONOFF to the Porte. If the
language be firm, and the intentions of Russia
plainly and boldly stated, in the event of the
Porte refusing to accede to its proposition, it is
impossible, on the other hand, not to be struck
with the moderation, and reasonableness of the
demands themselves :

" SMYRNA, AUG. 17.—. The Oriental Spectator gives some
extracts frotn the Notes of Baron Strogoneff to the Sublime
Porte, dated the 18th and 28th July, regretting that it cannot
give the' whole, which it says is a masterpiece of moderation and
policy.

" The Ambassador observes, that Russia, depending
.on the justice of her demands, and certain that all her Al-
lies are convinced of the purity. -Of . her intentions, has,
while she took upon herself the defence of general interests,
not alleged the particular rights which may be considered "as
the ground of all its proceedings towards the Turkish goyern-
ment. He alleges the treaty of Kanianigi, which gave Russia
the protection of the Greek Christians in all the States of the
Porte, and the treaty of Bucharest, which the assumptions of
the Reis Effendi, in the conference of 25th April, would render
void and of no effect, and deprive the inhabitant 'of Mol-
davia and Walachia of all prospect of seeing an end of
their misfortunes. Russia desires with respect to the Porte
what she always has desired. While she frankly points out to
the Government the danger to which it exposes itself, she will
at the same time shew it- the way to its preservation, and if it
obstinately persists in not following that way, Russia will
warn it before hand what attitude it will compel her to assume.
If, as the Emperor willingly believes, the measures under
which Religion and humanity in Turkey groan, have
been taken contrary to the wishes of the Sublime. Porte,
his Majesty requires that his Highness shall prove that he is
not without power to alter a system which, as it now is, will
no longer permit the Christian Government to treat with the
Turks, or to live upon any other terms with them than in a
state of war.

".That the Greek churches that have been destroyed or
plundered be immediately restored to a condition adapted to
their sacred destination : that his Highness restore to the Chris-
tian worship itx just rights, affording it the same protection as
befote, guaranteeing its inviolability for the future, and doing
every thing to console Europe for the death of the Patriarch of
Constantinople, and for the profanations which succeeded his
death ; that a wise and just difference be made between the
Authors of the troubles, and those who have taken part in them,
and those whose innocence should protect them from the seve-
rity of the Divan ; that to this end a prospect of tranquillity
and peace be opened to the Greeks who have remained faithful,
or who shall submit within a certain time, and that whatever
the state of things may be, means shall be adopted to distinguish
the innocent from the guilty.

" To the list Moment tbe Emperor will repel from his mind
every representation contrary to the preceding ; but if the
Turkish Government, contrary to expectation, should manifest
that it is in consequence of a plan voluntarily adopted that
hose measures are taken, respecting which the under-
signed has already declared the opinion of his august Master,
nothing will then.ieniain to the Emperor than to declare already
now to the Sublime Porte, that it places itself in a state of open
hostility with the whole Christian world ; that it legalises the
resistance of the Greeks, who would then combat solely to save
themselves from inevitable destruction, and that considering the
nature of this contest, Russia will, consider itself as strictly
bound to afford them an asylum, because they are persecuted ;
protection, because she has a right to do so; and assistance, in
unison with all Christendom, because she cannot leave her fel-
low-believers a prey to blind fanaticism:

" In making these declarations to the Sublime Porte, his
Majesty the Emperor considers that he has fulfilled all his ob..
ligations towards it. lie has proved that, as a faithful observer
of treaties, he sincerely desires their maintenance, since he has
pointed out to it the means that may save it, and even ahewn a
wish to contribute to its preservation.
." He proves-it even this day, by pointing out the only means
by which the Sublime Porte can avert its entire overthrow. •
" This undersigned is commanded to give the Sublime Porte
the space of eight days to answer the present Communication.
" In case the Turkish Government listen to all the wishes
of his Imperial Majesty, and fulfil all his hopes, by acceding to

these proposals, the undersigned is edmwissioned to agree with
the Sublime Porte upon another period of time, during which
it shall have an opportunity of proving to Europe, by the
testimony of facts, that it not only accepts these proposals,
which must shew on its part a return to more moderate prin.;
ciples, and which are here above stated, but also that it
exerts itself to carry them into effect, and that it not only does
ziot desire the evil, butialso that it is able-and willing to pre.:
vent it.--In every other case, the undersigned has orders to an-
nounce to the Sublime Porte that A is immediately to leave
Constantinople, with all the officerS and other persons bebng-
ing to the Embassy of his Imperial Majesty. The undersigned
takes this opportunity, &c. &c.

"BARON STROGONOFF,

" Bujukdere, July 6, (1£3,);11;21."

[After the lapse of the tithe fixed, his Excellency wrote a
second note, recapitulating the chief points of the preceding•
He complains, that not only his first Dragoman has pot brQught
any written answer, as the occasion imperiously demanded, but
.
that even the manner in which the Ottoman Minister had ex-
pressed himself virtually respecting the three important points,
rendered it impossible for his Excellency the Ambassador to
continue steps which are now become useless. His Excellency'
then embarked, and only waited fora fair wind to sail with the
whole Embassy.]•

A file of Philadelphia Papers have been re-
ceived this morning to the 2d of September. The
following are extracts :
[Extract of a Letter from St. Jago, June 20.1

We have now at anchor in this Bay the brig Apollo, from
Lisbon, commanded by ,a First Lieutenant of the Portuguese
Navy, bound for Cached, and expected to sail in a few days.
The above ship is the property of a most notorious slave-dealer,
JOHN PEREIRA, of Cacheo.' It is 'affirmed that PEREIIIA
has obtained a passport, signed by his Most Faithful Majesty,
granting him leave to send four thousand Domestics,
Slaves, to the Brazils. The Apollo is intended to take this
voyage.—This is certainly one of the most abominable atternpo
to evade the precise worth and spirit of the Treaty for the abo-
lition of the Slave Trade.

• [Extract of a Letter from St. Bartholomew's, Aug. FLA
The Patriot privateers continue, as usual, to send their
prizes to the Five Islands ; many have recently arrived there-
The private armed Venezuelan brigs, Brion and Bolivar, are
cruizing off thiS place, waiting for men and provisions.
FROM TIIE-SPANISII MAIN, AUG. 4.—A disturbance has
occurred at Curavoa, the militia having refused to obey 311
order of the Governor to
_parade in the Fort, and insisted on
doing duty in the public parade ground, which yeas granted
them. A considerableexeitement exists among the people, under
the idea that the Governor was going to abridge the rights, of
the people. Oh the 2d inst. there was an assemblage of about
700, who, in-the course of the evening, insulted the Governor,
On the 3d, the Governor called another Meeting, and entieg;
voured to pacify the people, by assuring them that he had (I°T,
nothing but what necessity and his duty imposed upon 13°'
Thus affairs remained at our last dates.

NEW Yon x, SEPT. I.—The brig Helicon arrived Iry 00
Wednesday from New Orleans. When off Manilla Reef, °l3
the 21st inst. she was boarded by the Buenos Ayrean ship °t.
war Jupiter, Don ANToNio, commander, and treated with the
greatest politeries4. The Jupiter, four days before, had el;
tured a valuable Spanish brig.—LAFITTE, the pirate, 11`*.
taken an American brig, - the Captain and passengers of whlca
he had treated in a cruel and wanton manner. The J"PIIC:
had chased LAFITTE several hours, but he escaped by NO'
into shoal water.

Theliberal conduct- of the. Bank of End:l9d',
in granting an annuity to all the Clerks who are
about to be discharged from that establishment,
cannot be too. much praised. We are not so Ore
of the Wisdom or propriety of giving the Clerl'`s
the option of taking the value of the annuity rrl
money, if any of them are disposed to prefer that
part of the alternative. The liberality and g°°4
intentions of the Bank, in giving its servants tlje
option, are obvious and unquestionable. We
take the liberty to express some doubts as tO
wisdom, not the generosity, of the arrangewelit.
When a man who has been trained to the PraF'
tical knowledge of any trade or emplolnlelif
comes into possession of an adequate son' e.
money, he generally cannot do better than elm'
'bark his capital in the business which he under-
stands. When a man, on the other hand,
has not, been practically trained to business, e
coMes possessed of capital, it is a mark of I'`'
prudence to convert the cash into an annuitY‘
The former -has in business all the usual chances
of success which attend industry and praCtt
le
cal skill. The latter would have to struggle
with competitors possessing superior knowle-'Age
and activity, and would be in great danger
Of losing his money in learning the- Prcls
means for. its employment. Now, the Cl'l.io.,
of the. Bank of England, though d,istin
guished by habits of accuracy and dispatc:'re-
the discharge of the routine duties of th'h'foily
spective offices, must be presumed to
ignorant of the practical details of tra":;,ioo,
which ingenuity is required rather than Pre—i"f 'of
and in which' the knowledge that 'availi; Its
the state markets and of the demand and s
tye
ply, are often of more value in one day than
utmost efforts of patient industry for 010"115.er.
Clerks, therefore, are of all men the very f' to
sons in whom it would be most prude" of
convert capital into fixed income, by scaYoy
-annuity. If, after their discharge, they Ca°, to
talk other situations,, similar in some tiegrefio
those to which they have been accustomed, i;eo/.
do not require capital to enable them to fill t;ios-
If, on the other hand, they cannot obtain 5., iv
tions, the Bank will but fulfil its benevolen;ow
teutions towards them, by securing the Fe,,eti
nency of its liberal provision for its discha:s'eas
o
servants. If, supposing the Clerks to ri'heir
capital of their own, it would be avert
wisest and most prudent course tO 0
in the
it into annuities, it cannot be judicious kig
Bank to atfoid them the opportunity of 111(13 our
an imprudent choice. We have confi"e oold
remarks to the supposition that the Clerlo.!
all endeavour to make the best use of the:r zeul
ney, by embarking it with industry 00

in
business. tt mast be obvious ,that there is
the further hazard, of extravagant expenditure,
dangerous speculations, &c. &c. which might soon
annihilate the funds of some of the least experienc-
ed, or most imprudent individuals, and thus, with
respect to them, and their families, render the
generosity of the Bank altogether unavailing.—
We cannot close these cursory remarks, without
strongly recommending
duct of the just and liberal con-
the Bank towards its discharged servants,
to the imitation of the Goverment, as respects
the numerous Clerks, &c. who are about to be
discharged from the Public Offices. The ar-
rangements of the Government, regarding the
reduction of offices and salaries, are not yet de-
termined ; and surely they will not be less liberal
than those of the Bank of England.
