LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, 1525.

The 'Paris Papers of 'Saturday,' with the poile
dated Sunday, have, been received, but their contents
furnish little news.'of a political nature. 'According to
letters from Constantinople of the 13th September, the
REIS EFFENDI has declared that the demands of
Russia were admissible ; in other words, that the
Porte would accept the • Ultimatum. But the Bailie
authority adds, that as late as the 20th no notice was
taken of the negociations.' This clearly shows that
nothing certain is known on the subject, and whatever
the intentions of the Porte might have been on
given day, still they were liable to change, (nothing
very uncommon in the Councils:of the Divan) by
the march of events around them ; and the knowledge
of the actual declaration of war against Persia by the
Emperor NICHOL A 3, may induce the Turks to see
the Ultinzatutni in a very different light, and so return
' for 'answer an Ultimatum of .their own. The Divan,
with all their wrongheadedness have yet. a great deal of
sagacity, and cannot fail to perceive that the Persiatt
war is a diversion in their favour sufficiently important
to distract the Russian Cabinet, and draw off' its dis-
poseable forces from the Ttirkish frontier, so that some
time must elapse before 'an:effective army can be col-
lected to supply their • places in such numbers as to
give weight to further pretensions on the part •Of
Russia. Oa the other hand, if the SULTAN wishes
to complete his system of reform, it is not unlikely
that he may temporise with the Russian Ultimatum,
more especially as the Greeks are still troublesome
customers on his hands.

The second unsuccessful attack on Samos by the
CA PITA N PACII A, and the arrival of Lord COOL BANE,
are again announced.
• The Mouiteur has published an official statement
of French Finances fur the first nine. months of the
present year, comparing the amount with that of 1824
and 1825, by Which it appears that there is a con-
siderable increase over both years. .The French Mi-
nister is not in the habit of publishing such statements,
and we look upon, the present.gratuitous exhibition of
his vanity as being intended as a fiet=off to the decline
in our Revenue for . the last qnarter. It may perhaps
have another meaning;--to .give more effect to the
Minister's preten,ions in his
.diplomatic speculations
respecting the present state of Europe,---for a French-
man would sooner .foiego his. dinner than the chance
•of displaying his vanity, if the consequence~ involved
the risk of his neck.

The accounts from Spain deepen in misery, and its
sure attendants robbery and spoliation. The people
are hungry and discontented, and the trade of Spain
has become a word of mockery even iii her own har-
bours. tier fishermen steal along shore with a por-

We stated yesterday that Hamburgh Papers of the
13th instant' had been received, giving an account of
an action between the Russians and Persians, in which
the latter lost 'lOOO men, and two Khans or Chiefs,
and were compelled to retreat precipitately. The de•
tails of this alTak will be found in another column►
together with the Russian declaration of war. This
document states that the war has been wholly unpro-
voked on the part of Russia, and that the Persians
had commenced invasion without any previous notice
or complaint of grievances. All this may be very
true, till we hear the `Persian version of the matter,
when we' should not be in the least Surprised that
YERMAL6FF had hew secretly trying his hand.on the
harp of discord, in order to give his idle army an op-
portunity of showing off a Russian (lance, at the ex-
pence of the Persians.

The 41/kerne/Ile Zeitung, of the 10th inst., has
been received this morning. It contains an article from
Rome, giving the names of the new Nuncios nomi-

which and his Holiness some little differences still

if they had a world of their own making, composed—

" Of one entire and perfect chrysolite."

Next in importance to the reformation of publiC
morals may be classed the improvement of public
taste ; and that both these desirable ends are most ef-
fectually attained by appealing to the heart and under-
standing through a pleasurable medium, no wise man'
will doubt. It becomes then a matter of serious con-
sideration that a vigilant eye be kept upon all those
amusements whose professed aim is to improve the
public mind by appealing to its passions in a rational
and captivating manner, and beguiling present cares
while instilling the seeds of future virtue and delight,
by the dignified beauty of precept and the impressive
force of example. In this good cause the stage stands
'forth pre-eminent— -

" With all its imperfections on its head."

But the stage, of late years, judging by the event, has
fallen into evil hands, or, upon evil days—for it has
renounced its proud situation of public monitor—

Painting the manners living as they rise,"
for the unworthy purpose, or dirty ambition, of
ministering to vitiated tastes, and depraved appetites,
having that cloak of all vice to excuse its degrada.
tion—..

" My poverty and not my will consents."
First, then, as to the. degradation of the stage—it
may be described in few words—for the road to ruin,
though slippery, leads by insensible degrees. The
degradation of the English stage, has been accom-
plished by abandoning'the legitimate drama, for pan-
tomimic buffoonery, and by suffering a few spoiled
children of the art, who had been blown into notoriety
by the excited, not consentaneous breath ofpublic favour,
to insult the authors of their prosperity, by assuming
an importance not only ridiculous in their situation,
but injurious to the cause in which they have or
ought to have a common interest. But human nature
is vain, and an actor is the vainest of all the children
of mortality—
Borne on the breeze—the butterfly of fame !
The consequence of this assumption to dictate to the
Managers of the Stage by their own servants, is visit-
ed on the public in a thousand ways. The Manageri
bring out sterling plays, affording scope for displaying
all the strength of the company, but all the company
'will not play! why ? because every star wants to be
the morning wonder of the scene ; and the Manager
finding it impossible :to bring out a good play
with any prospect of success, very properly abandons
the idea, and cooks up a burlesque of wonders, in
which every monster can take his part, from the bear to
the buffoon; and the applause of the vulgar rewards the
Manager for a season, while good sense and decency
are banished from the Stage. But the laugh of the fool
cannot last for ever, and the Manager cannot afford to
play unless some one pay the piper ; and though there
are rich fools in the world, yet every fool is not rich.
The common defence set up for those worthies, deno-
rinated stars (and there are some falling stars among
them) is, that the labourer is worthy of hit hire, and
that actors have as good a right as others to drive a
profitable bargain. Who doubts it ? But have actors
any right to make a bargain founded upon it justice to
laafi,Lifted individuals ? ,Has any star, or cluster of
st ".6.+ right to monopolise the market by stipulating
that all the first rate characters must be reserved for
their
especial representation ? Is not this preventing
others froma chance of success in the common
mart, while the present incumbents arrogate to them-
selves the exclusive right ? And what monstrous
Impertinence is this !—they are strollers on the
road to fame, but fearing that it may not be long
anough, they contrive to make it as narrow as possiltle,
that no person, who has been so unfortunate as to take
the same road, may past before them, but drag at the
Wheels of their applause, till the stage break down under
the weight of their celebrity ! But this short-sighted
01813ingpolicy recoils on themselves. They are like
the old woman in the fable hatching golden eggs, till
they destroy the source of production. We shall re-
vert to this subject, as it is one of national interest.
