LONDON.
THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1828.

We have not had any further account of the
proceedings of Mr. O'CONNELL, but it is
understood that after the chairing takes place at
Ennis, he will proceed to Limerick, where he
will be splendidly entertained by the Citi-
zens. It is not Mr. O'CoNNELL's inten-
tion to take his seat this Session, and we coin-
inend him for it.

The Gazette de France of Tuesday has no
information from the seat of war possessing either
juterest or importance. Accounts from Bucha-
rest say that Count PAIILEN, the Russian Go-
vernor-Goneral, has demanded a contribution of
three millions of piastres and requisitions in
kind for an army of 80,000 men. If this be
true, the Russians would already appear to be
in want of provisions ; but perhaps it is only in
Provident anticipation of a scarcity that they wish
to avail themselves. As they proceed into the
country the difficulties of obtaining provisions,
4lid other requisites for the army, must na-
turally increase, unless by the rapidity of their
operations they take the Turks by surprize, and
se seize upon their magazines of provisions and
Warlike stores. In the present advanced stage of
the season, the only chance- which the Russians
appear to have in overcoming the formidable
obstacles of the Balkan 'Mountains, is to laud a
large body of troops in their rear, and so paralyze
the efforts of the Turks by rendering their t,
im-
lsregnable " held of little importance. As yet,
it must be confessed, that the progress of the
Russians has not been at all commensurate with
their " proud note of preparation," and the
'nighty things they were to perform in a
short period. But we do not, however, doubt
that, when all their disposable force is once
drought teabear, they will amply compensate
for any apparent want of energy or delay in their
Movements.

The recognition of the blockade of Oporto by
uur Government appears a complete paradox, at
the same time that the leader of the House of
oinnions is denouncing Don iNliGuLLas a usur-
Per and a reprobate. For our parts we cannot
!ee the drift of this double-dealing, unless
It be carried on in order to verify the po-
sitive assurances of support promised by that
Ultra patriot of the Ordnance, who seems to
de placed in double temptation, with his
cial duties here, and his tender devotions
there, like the ass between the bundles of
ItaY. We should not be surprised, nor in-
deed should we be sorry, to see him in the
Amidst of these peculiar temptations, realising
°he day the adage, that between two stools even
the Master himself comes to the ground.

I have received letters from the President of Greece,
01/ ,dated 2d of June. Count Capo (Maria has beenin
V Person to visit the is)ands and villages, in which the

plague had manifested itself. During the whole month
of May he was engaged with this important branch of the
police. He says to me, " the disorder seems to be sub-
dued wherever it had appeared, and I have reason to hope
that it will not make any farther progress."
The Emperor of Russia bad sent a sum of money to
Greece. M. Pondostablo, Member of the Committee of
Finance, has been sent to Malta and Naples to receive this
money. A still more important subsidy, granted by ano-
ther Power, had not vet arrived.

The general organization was proceeding rapidly; it NAN
hoped that Attica would be Won rec eonquered.

By an Extraordinary Supplement to the
Leeds Mercury we have been favoured with a
long and spirited account of a meeting, which
took place in that town on Monday morning
last, for the• purpose -of petitioning Parliament
against that most obnoxious Bill; the Additional
Churches' Bill, Which tile CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER wisely withdrew on Tuesday night,
on account of the general execration and alarm
which that " notorious" job had excited
throughout the country. As the Bill has been
withdrawn in deference to the strong na-
tional feeling exhibited against it, we are
spared the trouble of giving a report of the
speeches made at the patriotic meeting at Leeds.
The chair was taken by Mr. RAWSON, a gentle-
man to whom might very appropriately be applied
his own description of a fellow-townsman (Mr.
To TTlE)—th at he was a gentleman whose talents
and principles had long secured him an extensive
and just share of confidence and respect. Mr.
MARSHALL, the Member for the County, unex-
pectedly appeared at the meeting, and was
hailed with great applause. His speech,
as well as those of Mr. TOTTIE, Mr. BAINES,
the Rev. RICHARD WINTER HAMILTON and
others, were received with much and deserved
applause. But as the object which this
spirited and very numerous Meeting had in view
has been happily accomplished, without further
provoking the national indignation and disgust,
the speeches are consequently deprived of their
interest, though not of their intrinsic merit.

It appears -that a Counter-Meeting was held
in a " hole and corner," in order to send up a
petition to Parliament in favour of " the Job,"
but the thing failed ; and this evening the
Chairman brings the real petition to be presented
to the House of Commons, but happily a day
after the fair. Mr. BAINES sums up the busi-
ness by the following sensible and instructive
observations :

" The Meeting concluded about two o'clock on Monday
afternoon, and we must say that of all the Public Meet.
ings we ever attended in Leeds, this was one of the most
gratifying. It was interesting in the extreme to witness
the gradual developeuient of those feelings which an ex-
posure of the arbitrary and dangerous enactments of the
Bill called forth. Every mind seemed filled with wonder
that a British Minister could ever have introduced, and a
British Parliament entertained, a measure so utterly at
variance with the free institutions of this country ; and
when the parishioners separated it was apparently with
the unanimous determination to leave no legal means un-
tried to avert the danger with which the country is menaced.
This determination manifested itself in a manner unprece-
dented in this place, and in the short space of eighteen
hours, the names of nineteen thousand seven hundred and
twelve inhabitants were affixed to the petition 1 So de-
cisive an expression of popular opinion will serve to show
in what light the New Church Bill, when properly un-
derstood, will be viewed by the country. At first it was
determined to despatch the petition to London, by the
Mail, iu the ordinary way, but it was finally resolved that
the Chairman of the Meeting should be requested to COB-
summate his public services by repairing, in person, with
it to London."

Brussels Papers hale been received this morn-
ing of the fith inst. Their contents relate to
some alterations made in the army of the Nether-
lands, by being divided into five divisions, com-
manded by Lieutenant-Generals, liavng Major-
Generals under them :

BRUSSELS, JULY S.
The "fugue Journal contains the following article
It is confirmed that his Majesty, on the proposal of
his Royal Highness the Commissary-General of War, has
divided the army into five divisions and ten brigades._.
The divisions will not be commanded exclusively by Lieut.-
Generals, but also by Major-Generals. In the same
manner the brigades will not be commanded by Major-
Generals only, but may be commanded by Colonels.__
Thus, in time of war, and when circumstances require,
these officers may be employed in commands superior to the
rank they hold. For this reason they must acquire, in
time of peace, besides a knowledge of the other branches
of the service, the science of encampments and military
evolutions. Experienced officers highly approve of these
new arrangements.
The General Staff will be organised in a more efficient
manner. The corps of miners and sappers is out of all
proportion to the number that our fortifications would re-
quire, if it should become necessary to defend them. On
the other hand, the education of a miner and sapper is nut
the work of a day : it requires regular exercise, which it is
impossible to follow in time of war. A new organization
of this corps may therefore be very important : it will be
raised to three battalions.

We expect every moment news of the Consistory at
Rollie, which was to be held on the 23d June, and in
which the Pope was to propose the Bishops of the Ne-
therlan&.

The Tourney Journal announces that M. Godefroy
would be appointed to the See of Tournay.
It appears from accounts from Switzerland, published
in foreign Journals, that it is considered as certain that the
Government of the Netherlands intends to disband the
Swiss Regiments it has in its service, and that AI. de
Reinhold, the new 11Iinister of his Majesty in Switzer-
land (who arrived at Zurich on the 26th of June),
would give official notice of his Majesty's intention. It
was expected that the proposals to be made to the Diet by
our Minister would be very honourable, and include the
offer of a suitable indemnification. This measure caused
great regret in the Cantons, and it seemed to be feared that
it might be imitated by France.
It is affirmed that his Majesty is at this moment consi.
dering the nomination of Consuls in Greece, and particu-
larly that of a Consul-General, who will be accredited to
Count Capo d'lstria, in order to favour our commercial
relations with that country.

If We may now believe the French Papers,
the evacuation of Cadiz is really to take place.
French commerce has, no doubt, individually
profited in a certain degree by the possession of
that once famed Spanish " mart of trade," and.
by the occupation of Barcelona, but we greatly
doubt whether the French nation collectively
have not suffered, or will suffer, in a corre-
sponding degree by the expellees incurred by the
occupation of Spain for so long a period, as well
undertaken with pious fraud, to esta-
blishas by the concurrent expellees of the war of " Le-
gitimacy," of the beloved FERDINAND,
g i at chye,
as well as the folly and bad faith of his Most
Christian MAJESTY. The Cortes have been
overthrown, but has the tyrant or the bigot
been securely established ? A nother year may
answer this question bout the lips of FERDINAND
and his Holy Confessor, at the Court of the Tuil-
leries, if the vengeance of the Patriots can spare
both these worthies at once. It is clear, beyond all
dispute, that nations like individuals, to be happy
and prosperous, must be hOneit and enterprising.

The moral energy of Spain has slumbered in
superstitious sloth, while the rapacity of her
rulers has quickened into intolerant ferocity that
must shortly defeat its own purpose, by goading
their slaves into revenge, or their watchful enemies
—the Patriots, to anticipate the day of retribution
in the madness of their despair and national
degradation.

Frankfort Papers of the sth, give some parti-
culars of the navalaction before Brailow. If the
accounts can be relied on, there is little hope
of the Turks—especially their garrisons—but
Brailow has proved itself a glorious exception :

BERLIN, JUNE 30.
Our Journals add the following details to the accounts
already published, of the naval action near Brailow on the
9th June:—

The vessel of the Turkish Admiral; four sloops, and
seven brigs were captured ; the other vessels were de-
stroyed. Above 200 prisoners were taken on board the
twelve captured vessels. At the moment of the attack the
CaptainPacha was at Brailow, whence he might have wit-
nessed the destruction of his fleet. Very important papers
were found on board his ship, among which are copies of
the reports made to the Seraskier on the entire demorali-
zation of his troops, and of the major part of the garrison
of the fortresses."

His Majesty's brig Procris has arrived at
Portsmouth from Lisbon, but we understand
that the news she brings is not so late as that
already received. A report was spread at her
departure that the Constitutionalists had been
defeated and had fallen back ; but this only re-
lates to the movement from Coimbra to the
strong holds on the Vouga.

A very well written and sensible pamphlet has
just made its appearance, called " Legislation
Gone Astray." The subject upon Banking and
Currency is not the most inviting, but we recom-
mend it to the perusal 6,f our readers as the only
entertaining work that ever came out on such a
subject. It is full of humour, and it ridicules
the rage for legislating in matters of business,
with great point and success. Without now en-
tering into the arguments of the writer, we con-
sider the present work as one of the happiest
felts d'esprits that has come out for many years.
The Country Bankers, whose cause it so ably
vindicates, owe a great debt of gratitude to the
Author.

In another column we present our readers
with some interesting particulars of the Princi-
palities of Moldavia and Wallachia, which will
be perused with peculiar attention at the present
moment.
