TALMA.

-..•
Pants, OcT. .20.-ssltswas not until five o'clock yester-
day morning, that Telma began to be :convinced, by the
extreme' prostration of all his facelties, and the film that
spread itself before his eyes, that his dissolution was ap-
proaching. lie could no longer distinguish the persons
who surrounded him. He had two notaries : called, in
whose ptesenee ,he eonfirrned the dispositions- of his will,
WWI had been made three weeks before. After this ex-
ertion, his remaining Strength scarcely sutured to mutter,
in an almost extinguished:Yokel the single word, Adieu!,
which he addressed to one of the notaries. Four hours.
after, at s thirty-five minutes after eleven o'clock, he breathed
his last, apparently without any suffering. It is generally
supposed that the malady which has proved fatal to him
was an intestine! schisms. Mons:Dupuytren was desirous
of perfornting an operation, which he was convinced would
have saved Telma, had he had strength enough to undergo,
it. 'This operation was to extract filet portion of the
intestines which, according to this celebrated surgeon
were twisted, and to replace them in their natural,
state. The opening of the body will ' show if M.
Dupuytren's conjecture was correct. But convinced as he
was of the efficacy of the operation, he was deterred from
resorting to it by the state of extreme weakness to which
Telma was reduced, in consequence of the total cessation:
of his digestWesfunctiOns for forty-font hours previous to
his death. The singular fact of his continuing to live so
long in such a state is attributed by the physicians to his'
remarkably strong constitution. One of these gentlenien
has asserted that, on opening of the body, the region of the
• breast and lungs will be found in the most healthy mid en-
taOt state., One of the last times the Archbishop of Paris
(who has repeatedly endeavoured to gain admittance to.
Telma) presented himself at his house, and was refused by
one of the patient's relations to be brought into his pre-
sence, he stud," You probably suppose that my intentions
are very different from what they are in reality. My mo-
tives are noble and elevated. For a long time back I have
been endeavoteing to promise from the Court of Rome,
that the ritliculotis excommunication pronounced against
actors should be taken off, and. the present circumstance
may most powerfully conduee to the success of my endea-
vours. Telma dying in peace with the Church would fur-
me with a puissant argument. Moreover, I promise
you not to say a single word about religion, until Telma
shall himself mention the subject." It is said that the last
time the Archbishop called, and met,: as before, with a
refusal, he lost all patience, and vehemently apostrophized
Tali:Mee nephew, a physician, in the following terms :-
--
Unfortunate man! see what a responsibility you are
draviing on your heed. Great as is my indignation, I can-
not here punish you for such unworthy conduct—my reli-
gion forbids me. But on the day of judgment, where all
the souls of my flock shall appear in the presence of God,
usisie shall pursue yours, and cull upon it to answer, for the
loss of an immortal soul I" The young physician listened
calmly to these terrible menaces, and firmly, but respect-
fully refused to introduce his (immure. The Arelibislibp
did not again return. Madame Venhove, Tahoe's wife,
also Wished to be admitted to his bedside, but he refused
to see her. She did not insist, but said, "I am sorry
not to be permitted to see him once more. Tell him, I
entreat you, that I came to offer him to share my fortune
With his children.". Madame Voahzove has upwards of
forty thousand francs a-year, that. had been left her by
Dr. Moreau (De la Sarthe) with whom she had lived.—
It is precisely this fortune that prevented any reconcilia-
tiSin between her and Telma, and induced him to refuse
seeing her in his last moments, " Air my wife is now
Wealthy," said he, "it would no doubt be said that I
became reetmeiled to her through motives of interest.—
'er fortune places an insurmountable barrier between us."
One of the theatrical .journals of this naornin/ gives the
following iseemint of Telmit's last moments !'alma pre.
served all his intellectual faculties to the last nuarinot.
He felt no waste pain, and only complained of having a
e

Dovilliers, he stretched out his arms, wept, and embraced
them. Ile said to his TiaPhrwr "'The physicians know

idolize ? to deny' the forty brightest years of my life, to

knowledge thsissi to be infamous? Never 1" A few mo-
ments before his death he murmured in a faint voice,
" Voltaire Voltaire as V6itaire!" Thus the greatest
tragedian of this age ext"ired invoking the name of the
greatest tragic genius of the .last age.

BURIAL OF Tes!.LMA.
, Eighty thousand persona have to-day ittsompulied the mortal

in Motion at ten o'clock, descending La Rue de la 3otthefouckult,

' After a walk of an hour and a quarter, the hearse, drawn by

COMMITTEE OF GREEK BONDHOLDERS,

TO THE EDITOR.
Sin.--4laving perused with attention, in your journal,
the report lak before the Greek bondholders, at their
meeting of yesterdays which 1 did not perfectly under-
stand at the time it was read, I feel myself called upon to
state that the information it contains is not so satisfactory
us I had a right to expect from the materials furnished to
the committee. •
I have been most anxious that the fullest explanations
upon every point connected with the appropriation of the
two loans suould be given to the bondholders ; but the
present report, does not appear to me to throw a greater
light upon the subject than had already been afforded by
the article published in the last number of the Weetntin-
ster Review, headed " Greek 'Committee," pf which Mr.
Bowring was the author.
In the report made yesterday, I think I can discover the
workings of the same hand. Many facts, which it would
have been desirable for the bondholders to have been made
acquainted with, have been omitted, whilst others have
been stated without the explanation which, in justice to•
myself, ought to have accompanied them.
Ai one example of the manner in which the committee
have thought it right to communicate a fact without
the explanation, from which alone the bondholders could
form any accurate judgment on the, subject, , I will
select the following paragraph. After alluding to the
purchase of '185,000/. and 33,000 bonds of the second
loan, for the purpose of sustaining the credit of the
Greek Government, the report proceeds :---" Your com-
mittee have strenuously urged on the deputies the necessity
of haying these bonds deposited in the Hank of Eng-
land, hut have not been able to obtain the accomplishment
of their recommendation. Again and again they have re-
pretented the , impropriety of allowing so large, a sum in
Greek hOnds to be in the possession of individuals, and
they can conceive no sufficient or satisfactory motive for
objecting to their being deposited in a place of security,
where they would be beyond the reach of any improper
eontroul."
Now, I think that in justice to myself, as well as in
justice to the bondholders, it should have been explicitly
stated by whom this:strenuous recommendation of the corn-
Mime had been opposed.
'On the 15th ult. I addressed a letter to Messrs. Ricardo,
of which the following is a copy ;
" sackvilh,street, Sept. 15, 1826.
" Gontlemene--ileferring to my letter of yesterday, to which
await your reply, 1 beg to state, that I consider it adVisable that
the honds'of the second loan, purchased by you and Messrs. Ralli,
no account of the Greek Government, should be deposited in the
Bank of England. I have already written to Messrs. Ralli,
brothers, to this effect, and I shall be obliged by your naming an
early day for making the deposit of those in your hands, in the
panics of one or both" of your

vatent to part with

our liabilities.

ment. We are, Sir, your obedient servants,

Considering this reply evasive
and unsatisfactory, I
wrote to them on the 21st, to the following effect

ill-fated loan, which would warrant me in asserting that you would
abandon one iota of your own Interest for the good of my cdontry.

this forlorn hope, and they determined to recommend

honourably served in the Greek navy, and who kindly

litate the departure of the frigates, should be deSpatched

regret to state that their recommendation was thwarted
by indisposition -on the part of Mr. Luriottis, to advance
the- sum of 150/., which was required to cover the ex-
pellees of a mission which they could not but strenuously
recommend."
I had repeatedly stated to the Committee my confident
opinion that Mr. COntastavlos„ who had already-been sent,
to America for the same purpose, would succeed in the
object of his mission : and. in my letter to the Committee of
the 22d of September I wrote as follows
" Before I conclude, I beg leave to offer a few words on the con-
versation which took place on Wednesday, with regard to the
sums-I was requested to advance for the expence of Captain Al-
len's mission. On a former, day when the importance and neces-
sity of hastening the preparation of the steam vessels was discuss-
ed, I offered to give bills on Leghorn to the extent of 1,000/. for
that specific object, being authorized by my friends there, who are
sensible how materially they would promote the cause of Greece,
to advance even a larger sum for this object. But I have no power
to divert the generosity of my relations and friends in Italy to a
different purpose, and sb far from having any funds in my posees-
sion belonging to the Greek Government, my claims upon it, on
the contrary, amount, as I have verbally explained to the Com-
mittee, to more than 3,0001., as I will prove on a future day.
" With respect to the 4,000/.. which I placed at the disposal
of Mr. Eynard for account of my Government in 111ay. last, and to
which Mr. Bowring particularly alluded at the last meeting, the
enclosed extracts of laters from . that distinguished friend of
Greece will, 1 presunw, be perfectly satisfactory.
" It remains for merbitly to state my retuliness as well as my
anxiety to afford any further information to the committee in the
laast likely to promote its valuable labours, and the interest of the
bondholders, with which that of Greece is so intimately con-

There are some few additional extracts, which I am de-
iirous of troubling you with, as a preliminary to the full
and detailed statement which I pledge myself to lay before
the public, but I fear I have already extended this, beyond
the space you can allow me in your paper. I therefore
postpone to another day the observations I could have
wished to have added to this letter.---I am, Sir, your most
obedient servant,

LONDON,
?DATIMDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, NW

We received last night the Paris Papers of Sunda
and the ;toile dated Monday morning. The latter
announces the important news of the Russian Ulti-
matum having been accepted by the Porte, on the Gth
inst., at Akermanu. A Courier, who left Vienna on
the 15th, in the evening, is said to have brought in-
telligence of this event to Paris ; and of the Russian
Plenipotentiaries having, in consequence, set off on
the 7th on their return to Odessa. The recent ac-
counts from Constantinople, and the confident tone in
which the Etude for some days had spoken of the
probability of this result of the negotiations, left little
reason to doubt that the Divan had determined to aban-
don its resistance to the demands of Russia, and by this
proceeding to get rid of the immediate chance of being
over-run by aux army of Cossacks. In the acceptance
of these conditions, the Porte assents merely to the
preliminary basis 04 which subsequent negotiations
and arrangements are to be carried on ; and it is so
obviously the interest of Turkey to gain time for the
completion
.of those reforms; which the Sultan has
entered upon, that the final settlement of all questions
between the two countries will, doubtless, be procras-
,inated,
a may he fully
tinated, until, on the one hand, Russi
prepared to proeted ill bar ambitious views, (which
the war on the Persian frontier may possibly now de-
lay), or Turkey on the other, may by the nevi orga.
eization of her army, and the regeneration of her in-
stitutions, be enabled to re-assert some of those points
of diseu,sion winch longhavelisii:bour. existed
The c
ae between
herself and
her northern
neighbour.
of the present conditions imposed by Russia, will
theretbre postpone,
but will not, in our opinion, pre-
vent the ultimate collision of these two Powers.
The SULTAN during these conferences, which in,
solved the oat questions of war or peaces seems to
