LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 17, ISM

It will be perceived that Sir F. BURDETT'S
Motion for a Conference with the Lords met
with no opposition in the House of Commons,
and that the Conference has been appointed to
be held on Monday next in the Painted
Chamber. Unable as we are to speak with
certainty, even as to the nature of that
Conference, it would be useless to specu-
late on its results ; but, if the supposed ob-
ject of opening a negociation with the Court of
Rome be obtained, we are inclined to think that
the question }lad better stand over for the present
Session, in the very favourable position which it
at present occupies.
We are aware that many zealous friends of
the cause may consider such counsel the result
of unnecessary apprehension, but we would call
upon them to consider how the case stands.
The Ministerial Leaders in both Houses (we
will suppose) unwilling to concede their opinions
of unconditional Emancipation, are vet ready to
enter into treaty with the POPE, for the purpose
of obtaining the Veto, or such securities, as they
may suppose to be necessary. Their late conduct
in a nearly similar case, demands the confidence
of the Catholics, and under such circumstan-
ces, would it not be preposterous to press
the question to a result, which is almost
inevitable, were it vigorously opposed by the
Duke and Mr. PEEL-an opposition which
would be 21most justifiable, if with sincere
purpcms of tranquillizing the country, they are
not allowed to do it in their own way.
Our weir-known devotion to the cause should
alone shelter us from any suspicion as to our
motives in throwing out this suggestion, but we
have reason to believe that such a course would
be approved of by influential individuals amongst
the Catholics themselves. Our reasoning being
merei hiwthetical, of course falls to the ground,
on ascertaining «14 we are mistaken in our pre-
mises ; but we are quite K444.4,ent that the good-
will of the Duke of \VFW WGWPW ?,D4 Mr.
PEEL ;you'd be well purchased by the loss of
year, iK asceivai;Ring the state of the Question in
the Upper House.

The re,c,eipt of the French Papers vegterclay,
by express, enabled us to anticipate the ordinary
channels of communication, and we have this
4,4 y nothing new to add upon that subject which
now ec2f.zr.osses the political attention of Euvoix.!,

stantinople, for he at different times allowed several
divisions of the Persian troops to march through his ter-
ritory,, and supplied them with provisions. It is said
that in the battle of the 4th of March, 1827, the Russian

light troops took two Turkish emissaries, who were sent by
the Pacha to the Persian camp. Though these particulars
need confirmation, it is nevertheless certain that the Rus-
sians are making preparations for an invasion into Turkish
Georgia.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 10th inst.
says, on the authority of letters from Malta,
dated the 22d ult., that the Admirals of the
English and French squadrons had received
orders whenever they heard that the Russian army
had crossed the Pruth, to separate themselves
from the Russian Squadron. Should any thing
umpleasaßt occur, Count HEY DEN will find it
far easier to pass through the Dardanelles into
the Black Sea, than through the Straits of
Gibraltar :

LEGHORN, APRIL 22.

Letters from Malta, of the 16th instant, say that Ad-
miral Heyden has sailed to strengthen the blockade of Na-
varin, and to act in conjunction with the French and Eng-
lish squadrons. It might he inferred from this that the
Treaty of July 6 is still in force, and that the three Powers
are acting in perfect concert for the pacification of Greece.
But the same letters also affirm, that Admirals Codrington
and De Rigny have received instructions from their Courts,
according to which, as soon as they receive news that the
Russians have entered the Turkish territory, they are to
separate their squadrons from the Ru'sian, and to art
alone. This statement makes us again uncertain with
respect to the real intentions of the three Courts ;
the exchange of Couriers between London and Malta, and
Malta and St. Petersburgh, is very frequent. Whether
the men of war of the European Powers placed at the dis-
posal of Count Capo d'lstria, will also separate if these
squadrons in the Mediterranean have really received such
orders, must he highly important to Greece. 'We
hear front Egina, that Count Cape d'lstria in-
tends :e remove the seat of the Greek Government to
Napoli di Romania. Colonel Fabvier, General Church,
and Dr. Geese, intend to leave Greece.

VIENNA, MAY s.—Metalliques, 89 15-16ths ; Bank
Shares, 1,017.

Sir ROBERT WILSON last night gave notice
that he would on Monday next put some ques-
tions to Ministers, touching the present state of
our Foreign relations. The Russian Army, and
Constantinople ? Or the French Loan, and the
levy of sixty thousand men, if France must in-
terfere in the struggle?

It will be seen by the Commons' Report that
the labours of the Finance Committee are not
likely to be of much public benefit this year.
Indeed, the impracticability of their making a
Report is the main cause for now bringing
forward the Estimates, which had been
deferred to this late period of the Session in the
delusive expectation that the Report would be
made. But, notwithstanding this delay, the
Committee have not been idle :—they had had
forty-seven sittings from twelve to four o'clock—
had examined thirty-eight witnesses, three hun-
dred and thirty-seven accounts, and had printed
two thousand pages of evidence. Sir GEORISE
CLERK moved for the same number of men as
last year, being 30,000, for seven lunar months,
but an amendment was made to reduce the num-
ber—which was negatived. We do not see how
this country—the greatest maritime power on the
globe can do with less than thirty thousand sea-
men, when France boasts of having now seven-
' teen thousand men in eighty-seven ships• of-war
up the Mediterranean. Let us be saving, or pe-
nurious Wynn will, in all other establishments, but
that which is alone the distinguishing glory and
protection of the country. Carping economy is
one thing—and provident security another.

THE FUNDS-(TUIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK.

COnsols continue fair to-day, and the disposition to sell,
which was evinced early yesterday, has in a great measure
subsided, it tieing stated that the warlike armaments which
have been making iu the French ports for some time are
suspended, and explanations taken place which render them
no longer necessary. This is said to be the case in the
French Funds. Consols opened at 854, sellers, but speedily
were buyers, and have been done at 8, several bargains
having been concluded on these terms, and buyers fin• the
next time. The present price is 854 ; India Bonds, 97
99; and Exchequer Bills, 63 4 prem.
The business in the Foreign Funds has been limited this
morning, the confidence in Brazilian stock has been, how-
ever, shaken considerably by the issuing of a large quantity
of the Bonds, apparently spit and span new, and it is sus-
pected that this may be as underhand mode of getting a
further advance of money, as it is well known the expences
of the war with Buenos Ayres have considerably dipped
into their resources, and that they are in want of sup-
plies of the needful for the Brazilian Government, and
if this is the case, it appears in the face of the transaction
to be an unfair proceeding towards the original Bond-
holders; at all events it has caused much distrust as well as
a depression in the prices, which are now 581 ; Portuguese
are 52431; Mexican, 6 per Cent., 421 ; Russian, 89 4 ;
towards this last security the eves of the. speculators are
directed with intense interest, the intelligence from this
quarter being shortly expected to be of the utmost impor-
tance, not only to the contending parties, but every prin-
cipal Power in Europe.
In Shares there is nothing new to report.
