H t3IBURGH PAPERS.

BORSEN-HALLE, FOUR 0' CLOCR.—The supplies
of Wheat received during the week were readily
bought up, some for France, and some also for Eng-
land; some of our home consumers were also ob-
liged to buy, so that prices not only maintained
themselves, but even advanced a shade. The
greater part of what was brought into the market
came from the Upper Elbe.
The prices of Rye have also been firmer, and the
supply not being considerable, the home consumers
have shown themselves disposed to purchase.
Of Rarley our supply has been trifling, but the
demand has not been greater, so that little business
has been done in the article.

Oats are also slow in coming into the market.
Good parcels of last year's are of ready sale, but this
year's are light, and not much in demand.
PEAS and BEANS maintain their prices, and con-
tinue in demand.

From the Ist to the 10th Sept. 66 cargoes of
corn passed through the Sound; of these 18 were
bound to British, 25 to Dutch, and 3 to French
ports; 1 to Bremen, and the remainder chiefly to
Swedish and Norwegian ports.

Funds were yesterday in brisk demand after the
arrival of the Berlin post, which brought an account
of a general advance in price. Austrian Bank Shares
were done at 1,109, Metalliques at 974, Anglo-Rus-
sian at 93, Danish, 6111.
To-day's post brought accounts of a fresh rise in
Berlin, and the demand increased, but this changed
on the arrival of the Dutch post, which brought
funds offered at low prices, though the higher prices
of French and English funds were known there.
The consequence was that our market ended dull,
with the exception of Hamburgh-Russian which
were scarce, and much demanded at 874 for money.
Portuguese are demanded at 52, but not to be had.

LEE.—LEE wrote the tragedy of Alexander
while in Bedlam. One night,_ when he was employed
upon it by moon-light, a cloud passing along covered part
of the moon, " Arise, Jupiter, and snuff the moon !" No
sooner had he spoken than the cloud instantly covered the
flee of the moon, so as to make it quite dark, when he ex-
claimed again, " Ye envious gods, you've snuffed it out !"
PROPOSED NEW MARKETS.—The crowded
and confused state of the Edinburgh cattle markets has
frequently been much complained of, and we are glad to
learn that a measure is now underconsideration which May
be the means of providing a remedy for the evil. The
proprietors of the King's Stables have submitted a plan to
the Magistrates for converting a part of their ground into
wallets for the sale of sheep, cattle, and horses, the sepa-
ration of which from the Corn Market would undoubtedly
be a great accommodation to the public.—Caledonian
Mercury.

BRUNSWICK CLUBS.—The manifestation of
Protestant feeling is spreading through the country like a
flame, whose progress will be soon irresistible. The
meeting at Ballymachugh, which we announced as fixed
for the 17th inst., has taken place. Great numbers en-
rolled themselves in the Loughsbeelan Club on Wednesday.
Preparations are making at Portadown for forming a
Brunswick Club on a most extensive plan, which is to
extend to all ranks and sects of Protestants. It is to em-
brace the two baronies of Onealand, including the towns of
Lurgun, Loughgall, and Rich-hill. The meeting for the
purpose is to be held at Portadown on Thursday next.— ,

LONDON.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1828

The French Journals have still little of mo-
ment on the subject of Russian policy. The
Gazette de France states, that the EMPEROR
was to sail on the 2d of September, in the Flora
frigate, for Varna, where every thing was to be
prepared for a final attack upon that place. A
sanguinary conflict is expected, more especially
as both parties have so much depending on the
issue. To the Russians the possession of
Varna is, from its position, of the highest
importance ; but the Captain Paella, it seems,
has resolved, in the event of such a calamity
befalling his troops, that the town shall be blown
up, or set fire to. After the attack of Varna
the EMPEROR, adds the same Journal, proposes
to return to St. Petersburgh.

Lisbon Papers contain an account of the offi-
cial dispatch from the commander of the squadron
sent to Madeira. It is a despicable business
altogether, and deserving of little or no notice.

We received this morning the Hamburgh
Reporter of Friday last, but it has arrived too
late to contain any fresh Hews from the theatre

of war.

Letters from Oporto have been received of the

13th inst., which state that affairs were tranquil,
but fresh arrests continued : among others, a
gentleman named NOULE, long connected in the
wine trade, had been committed to prison. The
cause was not assigned.

In our Paper of to-day ws have given a long
letter, "verbosa et irandis epistola," from the
Duke of NEWCASTLE to Lord KENYON, which
may perhaps remind the reader of Noodle's
solemn address to Doodle, in Tom Thumb.
In the grave majesty of its absurdity it is
superior.

His Grace sets out with observing, " it may
sound finely in a republican ear, to be told that
all are bound to participate in the management
of the national interests, and that the will of the
people should direct the affairs of the country ;
I cannot subscribe to such doctrine." And yet
notwithstanding this scornful opinion, his Grace
remarks almost immediately afterwards, " an ap-
peal to the nation is our only resource ; it must
be made, and the voice of the nation must decide
whether Protestantism or Popery shall prevail;"—
the voice of that very nation to which, but an

instant before, he had refused even the meanest
share in the executive. Surely, my Lord Duke,
if the people are to have no will, their voice, it

is clear, must be a sinecure ; even though that
voice make itself heard in such temperate and melo-
dious phraseology as that by which your Grace's
senatorial orations are so pre-eminently distin-
guished.

His Grace indirectly but significantly goes on

to lament " the march of intellect, the spread of
knowledge, or philosophy, or liberality, or any
of those jargonic explicatives (what is the
meaning of all this ?) the very sound of which
makes the heart sick." Now, really, whatever
calamities may have befallen us from this dis-

tressing " spread of knowledge," his Grace per-
sonally has no cause to complain. It has not

yet reached him. He still stands unharmed of
" philosophy," guiltless of " intellect," un-
sullied by " liberality." In these respects, at
least, he is immaculate.

His Grace's next subject of distress if, the de-
plorable toleration of the Government. He con-
trasts its present with its past character, and in
allusion to its good old days of bigotry (when
the Duke was a greater man than he is ever

likely to be again) observes, We evidently
comparative exemption from the horrors
which
vengeance poured on other devoted
co
oluieledl
ht
countries,
intoe o u
r own comparative exemption

from the vices - and corruptions which prevailed
in them." This come 3 with peculiar propriety
from a Nobleman who holds in his own hands
some dozen or more Boroughs. Why, he is
himself, and has been for years, the very genius
of corruption ; yet has here the monstrous ef-
frontery to deny indirectly that it has existed.
" Quis tulerit Gracchos de seditione querentes?"
Having thus disburthened himself of much
[ effervescent absurdity, his Grace proceeds to
say, « the last Session of Parliament, I con-
sider to have been by far the most disastrous
of any in memory of the man. It was pre-
eminently distinguished by liberalizing religion."
And this he attributes to the Government as
a defect ! This endeavour on their parts to
act in accordance with the spirit of the most
enlightened religion upon earth, is forsooth a
sin, an impiety, " a desertion"—so he afterwards
terms it—" of GOD !" Pray what are his
Grace's own notions on the subject ? They must
be singularly, not to say daringly speculative ;
shaped, perhaps, out of the tolerant doctrines of
the Inquisition, and embellished with a smooth
layer of Jesuitical sincerity.
But we will not condemn his Grace ; it is
nature, not himself, that is here in fault, as indeed
the whole tenor of his epistle most abundantly
proves ; proving also that though a man may be
a great Duke, it by no means follows that he
should possess a proportionate modicum of
understanding. Should further proof be want-
ing, his Grace's own ancestor can supply it.

We have seen a private letter from an English
Gentleman at Madeira of the 6th instant, which
states, in terms of the utmost contempt, the
cowardice and unsoldierlike conduct of the
troops in that island, and completely'vindicates the
Governor (VALDEZ) from all blame of want of
courage or devotion to the interests of Don
PEDRO, and adds, never was such an instance of
the total want of all moral energy and degrada-
tion exhibited.

The squadron from Lisbon, with the exception
of a brig despatched for that city, and another
to the Azores, remained at Madeira. Its de-
stination is the Azores, and for the purpose of
reducing the Island of Terceira.

According to all accounts, oral, written, or

reported, the situation of Ireland is moss
critical. The separation between the two great

parties is daily—hourly widening; the dis•
tinctions of caste are becoming more defined ;
Brunswick and Liberal Clubs—each animated
to a man with a burning spirit of hatred—are
rising in every direction ; even the meanest vil-
lages send forth their politicians, and contribute
their willing mite. From one end to the other
Ireland is all earthquake. Is this a state of things
to be looked at with indifference ? Is Eng-

land so decidedly influential on the Continent
that she can thus afford to turn a deaf ear, when
A domestic enemy (according to my Lord NEW-
CA STLE) is thundering at the gate? We warn her
—it is a hacknied admonition—to reflect in time,
and, by conceding little, to save all. The Catholic
Question, from the force of circumstances, is
fully sixty years nearer a crisis, one way or the
other, than it was six months ago. Who shall
say how soon events, at present unforeseen, shall
press it to a satisfactory conclusion, or bathe an
entire country in blood ! It is absurd to suppose
that, when two factions, athirst for revenge, are all
but drawn up in array, one against the other,
marshalled, disciplined, and drilled by adroit and
experienced leaders, they will be content to re-
pose on their arms. Still more absurd is it to
imagine that in a nation 'proverbially inflam-
mable, versed in the history of '9B, and prompt
in the recollection of its wrongs, public opinion
will lie dormant—more especially, when even
its Viceroy is a cypher, except as he inclines to-
wards the prevailing faction ; and the very law it-
self has lost its authority.
There is but one remedy for this awful state
of things—Emancipation. Emancipate and be
secure ; enthrall and be ruined. Mr. PEEL

himself must long since have felt this necessity.
Liberal in all things else, can he have a particular
warp, a disordered judgment on this point alone ?
No : it is his unfortunate connection with the
High Tories—that ladder by which he first rose
to preferment, and which, we sincerely believe,
he would now gladly kick down—this, it is, that

has kept him still unconvinced ; has fastened itself
like a blight upon his mind, withering all that is
generous, and social, and enlightened, beneath
its foul pestilential shade ; has thwarted his

hopes, distracted his judgment, and placed him
on a station which, however elevated, is yet based
on a volcanic soil, and even now rocks beneath
