GERMAN PAPERS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 25.—The Porte, it is
said, has already given an answer, and which has
been forwarded to Corfu by Mr. J. Zuylen, the Am-
bassador of the Netherlands, to the most recent in-
vitations of the Ambassadors of England, France,
and Russia, to accede to the Treaty of July 6, 1827.
The contents of the answer may be inferred from
the expression of the Reis Effendi to the Austrian
and Dutch Dragomans on this occasion. He said,
" That notwithstanding the evident protection of
the Almighty, who had favoured the sword of the
just, and chastised the Muscovites, the Porte was
still ready to negociate with the Ambassadors of
England and France on the basis already mentioned,
and it wished soon to see those Ambassadors at Con-
stantinople for that purpose. On the other hand, it
is beneath its dignity to send an Ambassador to
Corfu, where there are Russian Negociators and
Deputies of the Greek Insurgents." Thisremarkable
conduct of the Divan gives rise to many conjectures.
Some persons think that the Divan is more and mote
influenced by the counsels of the English Cabinet.
They therefore think it not improbable, that in con-
sequence of this the acceptance of the Convention of
the 6th July, 1827, will be at once declared. The
Divan, they say, would certainly act prudently in so
doing, as the influence of Russia, in consequence of
the events on the Danube, does not now seem to
preponderate, as it did a few months ago, and the
word of England with respect to the pacification has
removed all doubts on unforeseen cases. They think
that if due advantage is taken of all these circum-
stances, the Porte might hope that the treaty of the
6th July would be applied as Mr. Canning seems to
have understood it; that is, by no means to deprive
the Porte of its sovereignty over Greece, but to
make it a tributary state, which must be of more
value to the Divan than any other provinces in the
power of rapacious Pachas, who exhaust the country
for their own profit.—Allgemeine Zcitung, Oct. 20.

FROM THE VISTULA, OCT. B.—Travellers from
the interior of Russia affirm, that the Imperial Ukase
of August 28, for a new levy, has been received with
the greatest enthusiasm in all the provinces of the
Empire. The local Magistrates and the landowners
emulate each other in zeal to execute the measure
with the least possible delay; and it can hardly be
doubted that the losses which the Russian army has
sustained will soon be more than made good. The
road from Tula to Kief is covered with consignments
of arms, whence it is to be presumed that the latter
place will be a principal rendezvous of the new re-
cruits.—Nuremburgh Correspondent, Oct. 19.

VIENNA, OCT. 14.—The Corfu Journal, of Sept.
27, gives the following particulars of the expedition
of the notorious Passano against Prevesa, which
seems to have wholly failed
The expedition fitted out by the'Greek Govern-
ment against Prevesa, which consisted of about 40
gun-boats, several light vessels, and two steam-
boats, under Colonel Passano, and 8,000 land troops,
under Genera: Church, seems to have wholly failed.
" Of the land troops divided into two corps, one
advanced against Vostizza, and the other point of Pre-
vesa (where the ruins of Actium tie), in order to co-
! operate with the flotilla which, however, after exchang-
ing some shot with the forts of Prevesa, left that
position, as we learn by accounts brought to-day by
the steam-boat, without any ether probable reason
than the difficulty of forcing tl.e passage through the
Channel into the Gulf."

(The German Papers have no news from the
theatre of war, later than the bulletins from Shumla
of September 27, and from Varna to the Ist of
October. At Odessa, on the 3d of October, there
was a vague report -of the defeat of the Grand
Vizier, and the taking of Varna, but there was no
official account at Odessa so late as Oct. 1.)

SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 25.—The new pier,
which will be commenced as soon as the necessary powers
are obtained, will extend in a straight line, about 150
feet beyond the Breakwater, and then branch off to the
right and left, in the form of the letter T. A convenient
place of embarkation in all times of tide, and in all winds,
will then be formed.—lt is not, we understand, intended to
introduce any compulsory enactment into the Act, as was
at first supposed by some, but the proprietors of the several
steam-packets have already signified their intention to sup-
port the undertaking, by engaging to land their passengers
upon the pier. We cordially wish success to an undertaking
so advantageous and honourable to the town.

PA 111 S, OCT. 21.—A n elopement took place
here a few days ago, which has caused a great sensation
among a certain class of the English residents, by whom
one of the party had been known for several years. A
reverend gentleman aged 1.2 was introduced a few months
since to a family that had recently arrived in Paris, for
the purpose of spending
a twelvemonth in the capital.
This family consisted of three persons ; a father, an elderly
gentleman ; his daughter, eighteen years of age ; and her
mother-in-l'"7, a blooming dame of faur and thirty. The
clergyman was unmarried, and it is said, deria ed his means
of existence from literary contributions to various English
periodicals : his fascinating manners made him an agree-
able .ornpanion, and it was generally reported that he had
offered honourable proposals to the young lady, and had
met not only with her consent, but that also of her parents.
It now appears, however, that his attentions to the daugh-
ter were for no other motive than to obtain facility in con-
versinghe hired a post

LONDON.
MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 1628.

The French Papers make up for the want of au-
thentic intelligence from the seat of war, by ac-
counts of a great battle said to have been fought
between the Russians and Turks before Shumla, in
which the Turks were defeated with the loss of
25,000 men. This news is contained in a letter
from Odessa, dated on the 4th and sth Oct. ; but
the day on which the "great battle" was fought is
not mentioned, neither is the locality described.
These defects tend to throw discredit upon the
veracity of the account altogether. The Rus-
sians are said to have succeeded in drawing the
Turks from their entrenchments into the plain,
where, after a furious battle of several hours, the
Turks were so completely beaten that they re-
treated towards the Balkan mountains, leaving
their guns, baggage, &c. in the hands of the
Russians, besides a number of general and
other dicers killed and wounded. The Grand
Vizier is said to have been wounded, and Om ER
VRIONE killed, as well as seven Pachas. Indeed,
the victory is made so complete; that we are in-
clined to doubt it entirely. The fall of Varna
was expected as an immediate consequence of
the affair. The wonder is that Varna should not

have fallen long ago.
But while we throw discredit upon this fa-
vourable account for the Russians, we must do
them the justice to observe, (which we did in
fact at the time,) that the stories of their great
reverses were most ,unblushingly exaggerated by
the German Journals in the Turkish interest.
We suspected at the time that stock jobbers
were at the bottom of these tricks ; and we now
find our suspicions confirmed by the following
postscript to a letter from Vienna:—

[A letter from Berlin, in the same,paper, attributes the
accounts from Bucharest, which described the Russians as
beaten and retreating, to a great binking-house (Messrs.
Rothscliilds), which wished to depieciate the Russian loan
contracted for by the Hopes of Amsterdam.]

And it is in this way that the money lenders
play upon the credulity of honest men to their
own profit !

Dutch Papers of the 25th inst. maintain that
the Russian armies still occupy their positions
before Shumla and Varna. The Allgemeine
Zeitung and the Nuremburg Corrazpondent
contain the Russian bulletins from the Prussian
State Gazette, but nothing more recent :

JASSY, OCT. I.

The latest accounts from the theatre of war say that the
Russian army of the left wing still remains in the position
before Shumla, notwithstanding the declaration in its own
bulletins that it was intended to leave it. Severe actions
however, daily took place.

BUCHARESC, OCT. 6.

We have no news from Little Wallachia since the vic-
tory of General Geismar. The two main Russian armies
are still before Shumla and Varna, and the earlier state-
ments of a retreat of the first towards the Danube are not
confirmed. It is natural that the retreat from Shunt's)
announced by the Russians themselves as near at hand,
should increase the general alarm that had prevailed here
for some months, respecting the military operations, and
that this gave rise to, exaggerations which may be easily
excused under these circumstances. _ .

VItNNA, OC2'. lb.

The President of Greece has addressed a circular to the
Panhellenion and to the extraordinary Commissioners in
the departments, stating, that the Ambassadors of the
three Allied Powers had signified to him that they were
authorised by their Courts to open communications with
the Government of Greece, and, in concert with the Pre-
sident, to prepare the means of regulating the affairs of
Greece, on the - principles of the Treaty of London.
They therefore invite the President to collect statistical
information, and lay before them all the remarks which may
be calculated to decide the several caves which, according
to the Treaty, will have to be determined under the media-
tion of the Allied Powers, by the negoeiations between the
Greek and 'Turkish Agents. The President therefore calls
on those to whom his circular is addressed, to send all the
information in their power respecting the following points:
I. In those parts of Greece which have been the theatre
of war, what was and what is the proportion of the Greek
inhabitants to the Turks ?
2. What is the proportion in those provinces between
the landed property belonging to Greeks, and that belong-
ing to Turks?

$. Of the Turkish landed property, what proportion
belongs to religious establishments, and what to private
persons ?
4. What is the number of Greek citizens now in those
provinces and of those who have fled to the Islands of the
Archipelago, to Calamo, aWd the vicinity ?
5. What is the most probable estimate of the value of the
house!, plantation!, olive gardens, flocks, and other pro-

~?

the Treaty of 6th July, 1827 ?
The President requires that the answers shall be as near
the truth as possible, so that they may hear the strictest
investigation.

received this morning. If we may credit an
article from Odessa, the whole Corps Diploma-
tique, with the exception of Lord HEYTES.
BURY, embarked for Varna, to join the Imperial
head-quarters. From this we may infer, if there
was any doubt of the fall of Varna, that the
Ambassadors would not go :

COPENHAGEN, OCT. 18.

According to the accounts received from many parts of
Denmark, we may assume that the late harvest was good
as far as relates to quantity, but that in quality it is much
inferior in many parts of the kingdom to that of last year.
The continued rise in the prices in foreign markets caused
much bustle here, but this -is over. There is hardly any
old corn, and very little new has yet been brought to market.
Prince Frederick is expected here on the 25th by the steam-
boat.

the latter bringing an account of a decline in the price of

From Vienna and Berlin the posts bring us to-day no
account of any considerable variation.
Upon our own place funds are in general in great de-
mand ; there are purchasers in the market for cash as well
as for the end of November and December.

We have been requested to correct the statement in our

the Bank of Berlin upon foreign and domestic securities.
The advances made we are requested to state were confined
to domestic securities, and none of these have been called in,

limit the amount thereof for the future.

Quebec Papers to the 24th September state
that a numerous meeting of Irishmen had taken
place at Montreal, on the 7th, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the best means of as-
sisting their fellow countrymen in Ireland in the
just cause in which they are engaged, and also
to consider the propriety of presenting an Address
of Congratulation to D. O'CON'NELL, on account
of his splendid success at the Election of Clare.
Dr. TRACEY in the Chair.

Among the Resolutions, it was resolved that,
an Association be founded in the city o Mon-
treal, to be called the " Society of the Friends
of Ireland in Canada," for the purpose of raising
A Fund to aid that distinguished body, the
Catholic Association of Ireland.

The Treasury Department of the United
States have issued a circular to the Collectors of
the Revenue of the Inland frontier, on the
Canada Line, recommending the utmost vigilance
of the officers to prevent the smuggling of foreign
goods on that great and extended inland and
water frontier, which it is acknowledged gives so
many facilities for the introduction of contraband
goods.

Gibraltar Gazettes and private letters of the
6th inst. have been received, and supply us with
further particulars of the progress of the fever,
which we are sorry to state is still on the in-
crease. On the 3d, 591 patients were ill, 101
admitted, and 24 deaths ; on the 4th, 600 ill,
90 admitted, and 24 dead ; on the 6th, 620 ill,
27 dead ; so that 99 persons had fallen victims
within the last four days by its ravages. Some
smugglers having landed at A lgesiras had been
shot, for having come from the fortress, and had
their clothes and bodies burnt ; six or seven of
the same description of persons had been put to
death near Cadiz ; and the utmost alarm seems
to have seized the Spanish authorities, who had
intimated to Governor DoN, that if these per-
sons were permitted to leave the garrison certain
death would be their fate ; besides which
they would cut off the supplies to the fortress.

In consequence of this, the General had issued a
proclamation, which states that in consequence
of a disease highly dangerous to the public
health existing, and its being expedient to prevent
its introduction into the neighbouring countries,
it is ordered that all vessels or craft under forty tons
be not allowed to clear out from the Port
without special
permission of the Lieutenant-
Governor, on application to the Captain of the
Port. The wind was West, ar,d rather showery,
but heavy rains were wanted to cleanse the air
from infection. On the 6th, we are sorry to
observe, thirteen Officers were sick.

By the Mexican Mail, Papers have been re-
ceived from the city of Mexico of the 23d, and
Vera Cruz to the 29th of August. The two
favourite candidates for the Presidentship appear
to be GUERRERo, and PEDRAZA, at present
Minister of War. The election seems prin-

`~

cipally to occupy the public mind, and the re-
sult was doubtful which party would succeed.
PEDRAZA appeared to have a preponderance in
his favour. His Majesty's ship Aurora had
returned from Tampico to Vera Cruz, and was
on the 23d on the eve of sailing for Tampico
and England. She had on board 11,500 dol-
lars, and 89 serons of cochineal, for the Havan-
nah ; and 186,200 dollars, and 163 serous of
cochineal, for England. The convoy from Za-
caticas was expected, in which case she would
receive 200,000 dollars more. The packet con-
veys 7,500 dollars for the Havannah, and
130,000 fbr Great Britain. Trade was dull ;
but, as the country was in a state of quiet, it
was expected to improve. No money, or even
the prospect of any, is mentioned as being about
to be sent for Government account.

Lord NuoENT's letter on the present con-
dition of Ireland contains a plain and forcible

view of the state of that country, which must
carry conviction to every unprejudiced mind.
One great evil plainly is, that an unconstitutional
Association rules four-fifths of the Irish people,
who obey its• mandates with all the reverence due
to laws. All are agreed as to this disorganized
state of political society in Ireland ; and the
Orangeman says " Make use of the force which
is in your hands, and put down the Catholic As-
sociation, at whatever cost." We say " No,
" you cannot put down the Catholic Association
" by force ; it has its origin in oppression,
" the Irish people are united by oppression—
" they unite to seek redress of their common
" wrongs ; and to use force to put them down,
" first to oppress them, and when they complain,
" to oppress them more, is only adding to the
" evil, and still further disuniting the community
" into two separate and hostile classes, which is
" the very evil complained of." Certain it is,
' that we are at present reaping the bitter fruits of
our own intolerance. We have sown the seed,
and it has sprung up into a plentiful crop of dis-
content. The Orangemen are angry that the
Catholics complain of their exclusion from office,
but if the Orangemen were excluded would not
they complain ? It is easy for those who are
enjoying a monopoly of all the good things of the
State to preach up contentment—but would
they be content if they were excluded from their
share of the spoil ; if they were branded as in-
capable of holding Ace ? It is the reluctance of
this faction to give up their monopoly—to admit
the Catholics even to share with them in the
sweets of once, that is the cause of all the evil ;
for rather than yield to the Catholics, they would
riot in their blood. Again and again we would
most earnestly impress upon Government that
the Orangemen are the real enemies of peace in
Ireland ; they cling to their long-cherished pri-
vilege of oppressing their fellow-citizens, and
man is so framed that he cannot submit quietly
to oppression. Consequently, until the great
body of the people are freed from their galling
bondage, there will be no solid peace or satisfac-
tion in Ireland. We cannot expect to raise such
precious fruits from a soil in every respect so
harsh and uncongenial.

The late fluctuations in the price of grain de-
serve to be noted, as illustrating in a striking
manner the effects of an accidental alarm on the
market. We know that a permanent rise in the
price of grain can only take place in consequence
of a deficient supply, and it flows as a necessary
greet from this cause. It is clear that the
supply of corn which is produced only once
a year, whether it be great or small, must always
last until a new supply can be procured ; and a
deficient supply will only last by being more
sparingly used. Now there is no other expe•
dient, by which economy in the use of the sup-
ply can be enforced, but a high price ; and the
price therefore must rise to the exact point ne-
cessary for this, and it cannot rise higher. It is
quite an absurd, and now an exploded notion,
that grain can be raised in price by combinations
or monopolies of any sort. Those who in their
folly or their avarice suppose that they can dam
up the supply of grain in its progress to the
market, and dispense it to the consumer, as the
East India Company dispense their supplies of
tea, would only bring swift destruction on them-
selves, overwhelmed as they would soon be by
the torrent of produce which a rise of price
would instantly draw upon them from all quar-
ters. No dealer in grain would indeed be mad
enough to make this attempt. But though a
permanent rise of price can only be produced by
a deficient supply, there may be a transient rise,
as in the present case, from accidental causes.

It frequently happens, that, in the interval, when
the old supply is going out, and the new supply
is corning in, there is a great uncertainty, except

indeed in some extreme cases, as to the state of
the produce.. This then is just the time for
an alarm of scarcity, or, at least, of defi-
ciency ; and hence the prospect of gain
sets the speculator to work. Supplies are •aith-

held from the market, under the unfounded no-
tion of a deficiency ; and for the time this is the
case. The supply actually offered for sale falls
short of the demand, and a rise of price is the
necessary consequence. But there is, however,
no real deficiency, it is only a temporary failure
of the supply from an unfounded alarm, and the
mistake is instantly corrected by the rise of price,
by which, if we may so express ourselves, an ap-
peal is made from the actual supply in the market
