pabs of erfectinga retiOti of rates, and procuring
Parliamentary redress for a number of parochial
grievances. 'I he meeting was attended by a name-
! rens body of parishioners, amongst whom we no-
' ticed many individuals of rank.
At one O'CIOCIC WILLIAM CRAWFORD, Esq. ,wv.
called to the Chair, on. the motion of Admiral
' Oliver. In his opening address, the ,Chairman -con-
densed much of what was delivered, more diffusely
by the subsequent speakers. Application-had been
made to him a few days previously op the subjevt of
the present meeting, by a parishioner of great re.,
spectability. He had complied with that gentleanan's
request, that he would inquire into the eiretunstance.,.
which originated the very general complaints pow
preferred against the Select Vestry by the parish of
St. Alarylebone.• The result of his, investigating
‘vai a personal conviction that their discOntent iiad
been fully warranted by the causes which produced it..
The report of the committee was then read, a.llll
received by the meeting. It took a review of the
abuses which it had been formed to inquire into
and remedy since its first establishment in April last,
and recommended an application to Parliament,' fui
the redress of grievances occasioned by wanton And
prodigal mat-expenditure of parochial money, on,the
part of the select vestry. A series of resolutielH,
were subsequently passed by acclamation.. .It
resolved that a subscription should be entered iet,-
far the purpose of defraying the expense of an appli-
cation to the House of COIIIIIIOIIS fur leave to litil!::
in a Bill contemplating the re-construction of lie-
Marylebone 'vestry. -
The meeting was addressed at great length 1.,,
Mr. FIELDER, who animadverted on the select ; ,:.-
try's misappropriation of the public money, and vl en 9
into a. detail of wavy cases where that body l;
been guilty of unwalTantable extravagance in Li:,
(ling the parochial funds.
Mr. BEECHAM next made some aniinadversion w.
the measures of tli vestry. Dr. Thompson sui.
nested to the parish the expediency of refusing 1-,
delegate a power of framing the proposed Bill to t1,,-
committee, without submitting it for their approifd
Lion previous to its being presented to Parliameni .
This counsel appeared highly popular, and Mr,
,Pop
assented to it cheerfully on the part of the Con,
inittee., Dr. Thompson's name was therefore a Idic-1"
to those already appointed to inspect the proceed
ings of the vestry, and prepare the Bill in contrei -
plation: . _ .

- Apologies front Mr. Hume, General Fitzroy, anJ
Major-General King, for non-attendance, having bpen
read, the Chairman intimated that subscriptipng
would be received at 11.Ict,sr:3. Metrics, Farrptloil,

GENERAL MEETING OF JOURNEIMEI
Sits WEAVERS.-Yesterday a lieeting of Operative Silt
Weavers was held in St. John-street Chapel, Spitaltield.,
for the purpose of taking into consideration the ptopristy
of petitioning the Legislature for a " Protection Wages
Bill." The Seuretarr read a. Report of the Committee
appointed- to inquire into -the .esuses of the distresses under
which the Silk Operatives have hitherto laboured.
Report occupied about au hour in reading, and in it We!
embodied the privations which press upon the lahouriz-.g
part of the silk manufacturers. After some further chart
vations, the petition having been received and adopted,
Meeting separated.

Last night a House was very uncxpectedl\
made, but nothing was done except the presenting, of pi
titions ; there was, however, some rumour and expectation
that Mr. HERRIES would say something in reply to Lord
GODERICIes remarks of Tuesday night. On the Oppo-
sition Benches many Members were present, Mr. TixartY,
Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. S. Rice, &c., but there was net
one Minister present, and not the slightest allusion was
made to the explanation.

The scene in the House of Counnons on Mon-
day night was one of great animation, and ,tiengly c 1 cited
curiosity. The house not only presented an unusually full
attendance of Members, but under the gallery, and the
Members' side galleries, were crowded to an almost inc6ll-•
veuicnt excess. In the Opposition side gallery, namely,
that which faces the Opposition Benches, appeared Lair

Dear them were Lords Itossi,viv, LAUDERDALE, &c. In'
the Ministerial side gallery wet.; Earl SrENcrn, the Mar •

The system of disinterring bodies is seemingly
carried on to an alarming extent all over the kingdom, and
we much fear that this species of depredation, so aggravated
and revolting, must be attended with the most rerious and
fatal consequences. We lately had occasion to mention.
that a body had been carried off from the church-yard of
Drumoak ; and last week, in the adjoining parish of Pc -
terculter, another instance of the like occurred. In thie
latter esse, the body of a child was disinterred and carried
off m the most deliberate manner, the lid of the coffinbeing
unscrewed before removing the body, while those engaged
in this illegal act, appeared to have made an unsuccessful
attempt to open another grave.—Aberdeen Chronicle.

not think of such a thing." The ladies who make the !s-

ledge that compliance is hardly to be expected. The head
is dressed for the bonnet; and besides, where is so huge a
machine to be put? Thus then the ladies sit on, seeing but
not allowing to see. The persons in the shadoW of their

CONSTANTINOPLE, 1 EIL 10.--The moderation
tvhich the Porte had promised to observe, and which
had even given great reason ,to hope that it desired
to effect the paCificatiOn by its own measures; has
wholly vanished, -in 'rather, it was only ii mask
which had served to conceal its true designs.
A proclamation; addressed to all the functionaries
of the enipire' , and conceived in terms the most of-
fensive to the Cabinets of all Christendom, declares
that it was a sacred duty to combat them, called
the 11,1ussulmen to arms, and even declares plainly
that the Porte.wanted to gain time in order to prepare
for a sanguinary struggle; and that, having obtained
that object, it will brave every danger, and will rather
:be overpowered than Consent to recognize the inde-
pendence of the Oreeks in the Mores and the. Islands,
which would encourage the other Reyes to revolt, and
soon reduce Islamism under the dominion of the iaifi-
The Porte has not been content with this procla-
merlon ; but has also drawn up a list of proscriptions,
-Which includes 1,500 French, English, and Russian
subjects, and makee all the individuals of the three
nations who remain here apprehensive of a similar
-or a worse fate. These measures have obliged the
Charge d'Affaires of the Neutral Powers to inter-
fee, and to observe to the,Porte, that this conduct
was not conformable to the promise which it bad
made to take wider its own protection all the Franks
that had no immediate representative ; that it was
only preparing for itself the most dreadful catas-
trophe; that it was even acting contrary to the
Treaty of , Akermann; and that it was going to
throw all Europe into alarm. These remonstrances
seem to have made no impression; and the orders
of proscription have\been executed notwithStanding,
under the pretext - that the individuals on the list
could not account for their means of subsistence,
though most of thrni belofig to the Most re-
spectable commercial houses. The evil dlsposi-
tion which scents to guide: the councils of the
Porte, and. Which, as weir as a terrible fatality,
extinguishes eVuly favoinable prospect in its af-
fairs, has been augmented by the spirit of per-
secution, and ham struck a blow agai ,st all the. A-
rmenians. The Porte appears to have ;.,ken offence in
particular at the proofs of -attache .tit which the
people of this nation in Georgia and Persia have
!lave shewn to Russia, and intends to banish them
-iVithOut distinction of age Or. sex. Orders- have
'already been given in the capital, enjoining them to
quit the country immediately, and it is feared. that a
smailar order will be sent to the provinces. It is
also believed that the Franks will be sent away, not
only: from the capital, but from' all the other cities.

CONCLUSION OF M-DE FERRONNAY'S !SPEECH.

You will recognize, noble Peer* the inspirations
of this generous policy so natural to the Bourbons,
in the conduct of France with regard to Spain. Our
sacrifices no doubt were of the greatest magnitude,
but we founded them on glory. The term of those
sacrifices has arrived, the glory only remains to our
arms, and to that, noble sword which glistened in the
first rank.

To appreciate precisely the question of the eva-
uation of it is .necessary to carry back your
thoughts to the treaty in vi:tue of which the occupa-
tion took place. .
It was in the month of February, the an
arrangement took place between France 'and Spain,
by which.sue part of the• king's army was to remain
at the disposal of his Catholic Majestydo secure the
tranquillity of his states, and to afford him time to
rc-construct his army, and to consolidate his Go-
vernment in such a manner as to Control maln'olence
and 'faction. .

During the few years which
.have elapsed since
the signature of this convention, renewed upon the
same basis when there was a question of diminish.;
ing the corps of occupation, the interior state. of
Spain did not perhaps present all the improvements
which ought to have been—l shall not say the ob-
ject. of the.occupation, but--the signal of its ter-
mination.

In fact; it cannot be believed that, it even entered
-into the thoughts of the King, or of his august pre-
decessor, to interfere, under.the auspicesof fOree, in
the internal government of Spain. The presence of
French troops would have been in their eyes a mo-
tive for giving a more gentle form to the advice,
which she owed. to a. King whom France had re-
placed upon its throne. His Majesty wished to
lend a tutelary force to Spain.; he, could not lookfor
in it the violent means of acting upon her 'Twit,.
tions.. A more
_natural, although a more indirect'
action, that of example, . has been gloriously exert.
eised since the restoration by the Bourbons of France. ,
" The_ end of the occupation had been at first
fixed for the Ist of July. 1821. ' It - has- not been 1
prolonged beyond that time but by Common accord.-
The two o.veicigiis reserved to each orher, b -
three conventions signed on this subject,
of terminating It it. was
sufficient.. that. either of
them demanded it. Circumstaiiccs for a long time
opposed the juncture in which either France
or
pain should think
proper make this deniand.—
At the end of 1826, for the first time his Catholic
MajeftY testified a desire to know at what time. 'the
. King thought that he could withdraw his troops.—
His Majesty stated the month ..orApril,
1827 ; but
events which sprung up at that.tinie, ih another
~,,,de it a-dirty"on the two
state of the Peninsula,
sovereigns to adjourn a measure which prudence no
longer permitted.- It became' a question,in fact,
how to prevent the relations which became difficult
between Spain and Portugal, froin degenerating int,'
hostilities. In order, therefore, to exercise a pacific
mediation, the French army prolonged its stay in
the Peninsula. At the present moment, thanks to
the negociations into which the Government of the
King has entered, the dangers which appeared con-
nected with the changes brought about in Portugal,

:ire `dissipated, to give place to hopes founded upon
new transaction between tht; rights and forms of
sovereign power. You know that the troops which
'lad been placed at the disposal of that kingdom, by
the most ancient of its allies, have been recalled.

On the other hand, Spain flatters herself with
having recovered the elements of force and security.
Her army has been re-organised ; it has shown itself
faithful and &voted on a recent occasion, and the
Government of his Catholii! Majesty thinks that it
possesses the means necessary for repressing the spirit
9f faction and distmbance, if it should again arise.—
This combination of circumstances allows the Kino
to think. ofrecalling his troops* from the garrisons
which they now occupy in Spain, and his Majesty
proposes to give orders for the movement.

1,-*rance has fulfilled all her duties towards an
;tucient and faithful ally. The King has given to
the descendant of Louis XIV. the highest proOfs of
his kindness and affection. The task is largely- fuh•
filled, and France, without regretting them, may
rwkon up the noble sacrifices made in favour of
Spain. • = •

~The attitude of France, and the affairs ofthe East
And
.of the Peninsula, would. appear to render inex-
plicable the patience which it has shown respecting
the regency of Algiers. If we could confound under
the same rules.-of diplomacy the relations of Euro-
pean States amongst themselves, and those which
lhey are compelled to maintain with the Barbary
Powers, we must go out of the ordinary rules
try appreciate relations of this kind; and the indul-
2,ence of the King must first pardon in those bar-
)arians . the. primitive wrong which explains, all
the rest,,--namely, that of not comprehending the
lore of France. All the Powers. have been forced
in their turn to.consider only under the view of in-
terest the relations with states which continually
keep out of the range of civilized _rights.
The interest of our commerce, endangered.by the
iiiolation of the treaties between France and the Dey
of Algiers, together with the national honour, require
a :satisfaction Which the King exacts, and will
nOCeXaet in vain. '

The satisfaction, independent of the re-establish-
ment of former treaties in all their v=alidity,--this sa-
tisfaetion, the King proportions to the country
which gives it, rather than to the power which de-
frauds it. The Archipelago,floble Peers, bears wit-
ness that the flag of France may henceforward exer-
cise the right of being inddlgent.
The Same solicitude for the prosperity of French
commerce, has sought at a distance, noble Peers,
esources at once honourable and useful ; fOr there
no solid advantages beyond a loyal policy. Such
as the natural and necessary rule of the conduct
observed by France with regard to the new States
of Spanish America. It was combined, on a just
view of her interests and political expediency.
France has observed a strict neutrality between
Spain and her mit:kilt colonies: She has formed
with the latter relations profitable to her trade; and
whilst consular agents, accredited to the
.new go-
.vernments, watch over the maintenance of these re-
lation,. cruisers on the seas. of America are charged
Nvith the duty of causing her flag to be respected.
.NeW measures have been taken to ensure.more-com-
pletely its rights and security.
This system of conduct is perfectly conformable
the respective.position of France and the Itepub-
liCs which have arisen 'on the Anierican Continent.
In the midst of the internal troubles which still
Igitate these nascent states, their existence has:not
hitherto offered such a decided character of solidity
that the independence which they enjoy in fact,
could acquire in the eyes of the Kin's Cabinet, the
authority of a right sufficiently established. Infor-
mation received faint those countries of a recent
date, appear to justify the reserve which it has
hought proper to observe towards them.
All precipitation on this subject
,would, therefore,
appear juS'tly blameable ; and it is not in France, or
in thiS chamber, that astonishment would be elicited,
that the Government of the King has not thought
proper to select, in order to recognize. the.independ-
ence of state's which not long ago were under the
authority of his Catholic Majesty, the moment when
the most important garrisons of Spain were in the
power of French troops. The motives of such a
reserve will be easily appreciated ; and the King, who
.on .this grave question has been able to reconcile the
.iaterests of France with the care of his dignity, and
with a regard
.which he owed to a Monarch who
was a relation and an ally, his doubtless the right to
expect that reliance may .be paced upon his wisdom
respecting the determination which remained to be
taken, to complete, at a convenient opportunity, our
ielatiAS •Nvith the new States of AMerica.
As...to the rest, it is not, noble peers; to the-in-
complete nature of these relations,•but rather to the
inconvenience inseparable from the creation of a new
order of things, established by force of arms on the
ruin of an ancient order, that we must ascribe the
difficulties which our trade has sometimes encoun-
tered on those Shores, and which the stations of the
French squadrons have hitherto succeeded in re-
moving. Some reclamations are pursued at, this
time in the same way, and we doubt not will obtain
the success which had attended those previously
Made;

Grievances of this kind belong so little, in fact, to
the state of our political relations, that France is
under the necessity of demanding reparation of a part
of them against an empire which offers every pledge
of stability, and where the King has long had an
accredited Minister. The Minister of the King at
the Brazils has taken the most active steps to obtain
restitution of French vessels unjustly captured in La
Plata, and condemned by the Brazilian tribunals.
After having prevented the sale of these vessels, he
succeeded in procuring a. revision of the sentences.
—The Brazil Government, of its own accord, made
offers of adjustment, which the Minister of the King
has been authorised to entertain.
But since that time the Government of the
King has learned that Frelic4 ships continue to be
captured in La Plata, doubtless, we must believe,
by an involuntary delay in the transmission of in-
structions conformable to the propositions of ar-
rangement made by the Brazil Ministers, or by the
effect of a misunderstanding respecting the orders
already given. The Kng, however, is resolved to
increase the naval fotce which lie maintains in the
Brazil seas, on purpose to remedy such a state of
things; and we have every reason to believe that
the presence alone of this force will attain the pro-
pbsed object.
“ My Lords, this exposition is sufficient, without
doubt, to enable yon to appreciate on what as-
surances
the King, from the height of his throne,',
' thinks that he can cast upoe our foreign relations a
satisfied glance. We are pleased to think that these
assurances will not be vain, and that events will
come to confirm the hopes which they give us reason
to conceive; but, whatever may arise, France will be
able to assume and to preserve a rank which suits
her honour; her power, and her dignity. Her glory,
which no one forgets, protects her 'repose, assures
her independence, and. contributes powerfully Id
maintain the 'peace of the world. In a short tithe,
released from the sacrifices rendered necessary by,
the noble support which she lent to Spain-free
from the difficulties which temporarily affected our
commerce by the complaints which we make against
Algiers, and by the delay in the arrangements with
some of the -States: of- America:: the Government
will endeavour carefully to preserve all the elements
of a peace so favourable to the development of our
institutions 'and of the public resources. The sin-
cere and generous alliance of 'the Moiareha is the
best guarantee of this : it is likewise the noblest
model offered to the good men 'whom the. King,
'calls to unite frankly arouud, his throne—a neces-
sary union. which France desires, and of which the
Chamber of
.Peers will be eager to offer the first
example. •

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 18•:ZS.

Whilst• conjecture has been busy for so many
years as to the authorship of Jura us's Letters, a
gleam of hope has broke ;ton the benighted world,
that, like the wandering Jew, that unknown in-
dividual, though unseen, still -dwells amongst ta,
or if he has been withdrawn front mortal gaze,
that like the Prophet of old, he• has consigned
his mantle to a favoured inhabitant of our planet.
But whether the JUNIUS of former clays, and the
ALGERNON of the modern Times, be one and
the same individual, or have their identity con-
lined to an ample portion of the same spirit—it
must be matter of congratulation to the lovers of
literature, that a rich treat lies- before them,
in the prospect held out by ALGERNON'S having
only completed the Third Letter of :A series,
which surely will . not fall short in number, the
easiest and most practicable point of a painful
imitation.

To any one who may have the temerity to
grapple with so formidable an alit:iv:list, there
is deep omen of his danger in the modest
announcement of ALGERNON, who tells us, " I
have. as much experience of the political world
as he has ;'he cannot dive into the most hidden
recesses either of the Court or the Cabinet, but
I can and will follow him ; and shall consider
no labour too heavy, no sacrifices too great, if I.
can unmask imposture - or punish treachery."
Now, as. Mr. HUSKISSON is rather a seri-
ous antagonist, and as it follows as a come-
qUence, that one who, (on his own showing at
least) is his equal, must be equally formidable,
prudence might dictate to us an im-
plicit • acquiescence in his dogmas, and
.
a cheerful subscription to the assertion, of
his Journalist, that ALGERNON'S letter, No. 3,
is " a plain and unquestionable statement of-the
fact." We should deem it an insult to Mr.
HUSKISSON, who is the peculiar subject of AL-
GERNON s venom, were we to be led into a
weakened repetition of a defence which has been
amply and satisfactorily made by the Right Hon.
Gentleman himself; but in reference to the fresh
accusation,- growing out of that defence, we would
advise ALGERNON pot to be so intrepidly led into
demonstrations of triumph, by Mr. HUSK I SSON's
declaration of having finished his case. The
sneers about the opportune arrival of Mr. SHEP-
PARD'S letter are to the last degree contemptible,
and are drawn fortli by the consciousness that
this handsome testimony of a political opponent
was a death-blow to the malicious purposes of
personal enemies. Mr. HusistssOsr- never de-
nied the use of the word guarantee, he only
asserted thak it implied no parchment bond, no
legal instrument, but a conviction founded on
the result of his interviews with the Noble Duke
at the head of his Majesty's Government. In
confirmation of this view of the term, Mr.
I SHEPPARD'S letter did arrive, and much too op-
portunely, no doubt, for those who had set their
toils; and, prepared their speeches. Whether or
not Mr. SHEPPARD, iti Isis anxiety to view his
letter in print, did anticipate the date of its
receipt by the Right Hon. Gentleman, bears no
way on the point,—for none will presume to state
(or we should rather say to think) that it' was a
forgery, or was the result of an unheard of con-
cert with a determined opponent.
But some of the reasoning-of ALGERNON,
his begging the 'question, is., quite delightful.
With a beautiful simplicity he 'asks, " If the
wound was green and fresh in August, can it be
healed in January ?" Without laying claim to
surgical skill, we should say, that such a cure is
perfectly conceivable in the case of a bodily
wound ; and as to wounds of the mind, without
ALGERNON'S experience, we regret to say, that
,we have witnessed the healing of the most
serious, in a far shorter time. Man is incapable
of an overwhelming protracted sorrow, however
deep
,and sincere it may be ; and we do not see
that'. HUSKISSON is to be blamed for sa-
crificing (if he did., so) personal feeling to the
interests of his, country. In the first mo-
silents of anguish he may be pardoned
for forming resolutions, which, when his
mind recovered its tome, would have been
culpable,and deserving the severest .rep
iroba-
tOn. • ..The history of his lamented friend fur-
nished bins with precedent) if it had been ne-
cessary, that personal considerations Should yield
' to State necessities, and 'that " salus populi su-
, prema lex." Vanity would have led him to

wake a display of his indispensable importance
by holding aloof, and his only crime seems to
be, that he preferred his country's interests to
the continuance in office of either Whigs or
Tories.

The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Ga-
le-tie de France dated Tuesday, contain little
news. The Chamber of Peers presented on
Monday their address on the KING's Speech.
In another column will be found the conclusion
of Count FERRONNAY's Speech, and though
very liberal, yet it will be perceived, that the pe-
riod for the final departure of the French troops
from Spain is not at all fixed. We expressed an
opinion to this effect last week, and our con-
viction as to the complete evacuation of Spain
by the French is as strong as ever. Our grand
mistake was in allowing them to enter ; pos-
session they now hold to be nine points of the
law in their favour, and political circumstances
will always sanction their stay, just as long as
they may think it necessary. They had no bu-
siness there ; and it will be answered that it is
no business of ours to compel their departure.
The news from Constantinople, if worthy of
credit, sounds as warlike as ever. A Proclama-
tion is said to have been addressed to all the.
functionaries of the empire, conceived in the
most offensive terms to the Cabinets of the Allied
Powers, and indeed to all Christendom, declar-
ing that it was a sacred duty to combat them.
The Mussultnen are called to arms, and it is
plainly hinted that the PORTE only wanted to
gain time in order to be better prepared for a
sanguinary struggle. Sooner than recognise the
independence of Greece, the SULTAN would
rather be overpowered in the combat. But that
is not all—if the report be correct, the SULTAN
has drawn up alist of proscriptions, including 1500
French, English, and Russian subjects, who are
to be sacrificed to his terrific vengeance. This
appears altogether so contrary to the dictates of
that prudence and f6rbearance upon which the
SULTAN has hitherto acted, that we are very
loth to believe it.. We do not say that the SUL-
TAN may not be betrayed into an unwise line of
policy, but jibe is, he will find speedy cause to re-
pent his rashness, as well, as treachery. But the
whole tenor of the article awakens suspicion. In
the-first place, its date (Constantinople, Feb.lo,)
is not only questionable, but taking the late seve-
rity of the weather into account, a matter of im-
possibility. We are half inclined to think that
some stock jobbers arc at the bottom of the
affair. _ , _

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 14th
has been received. The accounts from Smyrna
arc to the 4th tilt., at which time much alarm
was entertained there in consequence of ac-
counts received from Constantinople. The
:Hanseatic cities have concluded a favourable
Commercial Treaty with the Brazils, which is
considered as being equivalent to a total aboli-
tion of the difference of import duties in Brazil
SMYRNA, .7AN 4.

Our city is in some commotion, because the accounts
received from Constantinople. give much reason for alarms'
for the Franks here. The mpst distinguished merchants
are embarking, and every one is putting his effects in some
place of safety. A great number of vagabonds who were
going to act fire to the city, and were mostlyitalians, have
been arrested by order of the Neapolitan Consul.
M. Blancque, principal Editor of the Oriental Spec-
tator, has been arrested by order of the French Consul,
brought with his presses on board the Pomona, and sent to
Toulon, because lie had inserted in No. 300 of his Spectator,
an article which was considered as highly offensive to the
French Govern►nent. The removal of M. Blancque is
much regretted here; he was highly esteemed, and by his
office as President of the Merchants he was respected by
the local authorities. The second editor has escaped by
flight.
FROM THE LOWER. ELBE, FPS. 4,

You may consider the following as the official commu-
nication of the special Hanseatic Mission to Rio de Janeiro.
" The merchants, we think, will not be dissatisfied with
the treaty which we concluded in 17th November, 1827.
All goods, without distinction of their origin, exported from
the Hanseatic cities, in Hanseatic ships, or in the ships
of other favoured nations, that is, when these na--
tions give the 'mine privilege to Hanseatic ships, are
to pay from the day when the ratifications are
exchanged, an import duty of 15 per cent. instead
of 21 per cent. whiCh they have hitherto paid. From the
entrepot of northern praductions, which. is thereby en-
couraged, and the more easy competition with the North
AmericanS in corn, flour, and provisions of all kinds, we
promise ourselves almost greater advantages than froth the
encreased exportations of German manufactures, which
cannot fail to take place. For the manufactures of the
Prussian Rhenish provinces and Westphalia, as well as for
the whole south of Germany, this treaty is still more
important than that concluded by Prussia, which limits
the reduction in the import duty to Prussian goods in
Prussian ships; and besides stipulates troublesome forma-
lities of certificates of origin."
This treaty is equivalent to a total' abolition of the dif-
ference of import duties in Brazil, 'and we cannot but
wonder, after the late treaties with France and Prussia,
and especially after this most recent convention with the
ifinScatic'eities, that the Government of that country does
not rather once for all decree an equality of privileges for
all nations, which exists in point of fact, as it has been
strictly observed in the former Spanish colonies in South
America from the beginning of their independence, notwith.
standing all the influence of England and North America.
VIENNA, FEE. 9.

The Russian Counsellor of State, Chev. Kataskasy, who
was appointed diplomatic agent in attendance upon Count
Von Heiden, arrived here to-day, from St. Petersburgh.
All that has been said in public Journals of a missionovith
which Prince Philip of Hesse Homburg was to go to St.
Petersburgh, is one of the numerous fictions with which
the public is daily amused. ,

By the Hairs transport, arrived at Portsmouth
from Jamaica, Papers to the 2d ult. have been
received at the North and Soutli American
Coffee-house, from which we make the folloWing
extracts :

His Majesty's packet ship Redpole, Capt. Bullock, with
the second middle mail, anchored at Port Royal on the 31st
December. She sailed from Falmouth on the 21th No-
vember, arrived at Jaumel on the 29th December, landed a
mail, and sailed same day : off Jaumel, on the 26th, she
carried away her topmast by a heavy sea. His Majesty's
brig Bustard, Capt. Smith, front Chagres, arrived also
yesterday at Port Royal, in 15 days. His Majesty's brig
Ferret, Capt. Gossett, was at Cbagres when the Bustard
sailed. . The Admiral had answered an application for con-
voy to the trade for St. Jago de Cuba, by eating that lie
would endeavour to provide one by the sth January.
By the Espiegle we learn that Admiral Laborde, in
the Spanish' line-of-battle ship (Guerrero, with a large
50-gun frigate and a heavy brig pf 20 guns, had arrived

at Porto Rico from the Havannab, ani sailed from thence
fen the 23d of December, after holdirg a conference with
the Governor and authorities. It is poiitively asserted that
Montego Bay will be immediately oonetituted a free ware-
housing port. A report is in existence in the island, that
Sir- Henry Torrens will be appointed Governor of Jamaica,
ind that Sir John Keane goes home -o succeed him as
Adi 11 tant-General. His Lordship theißishop of Jamaica,
will shortly sail for Europe, in his Majesty's ship Valorous,
Captain the Earl of Huntingdon.
The Redpole packet wanting some ripairs, will not pro-
ceed to Vera Cruz before Saturday morning, the .sth of
January.

On the 25th Dec. his Majesty's packet, Lady Wel-
lington, Lieutenant Lugg, sailed from Kingston for Car-
thagena ; and on the 26th his Majesty's ship Harlequin,
Captain Elliott, for Santa Martha and Carthagena. The.
Lady Wellington packet for England
,was appointed to
sail from the island on the 15th January.

We have just-received the Gazette de France
dated yesterday, by express; it, contains little
or nothing of any moment. The son of
Prince WREDE has -abjured his religion,' and
entered the service of the GRAND SEIGNOR.
The Greek Banker ItEALLI has been exe-
cuted for forgery, by order of the GRAND
SEIGNOR.

The news from Constantinople do not bear out
the Augsbath Gazette in its warlike tone.
The French Funds are, Five per Cent., . 104 f.

Extracts from' the Agents to Lloyd's, dated
Smyrna, Jan. 4 :

' His • Majesty's ship Cambrian, saile4 on a cruizc yester-
day morning ; his Majesty's ship Isis, Commodore Sir
Thomas Staines, is in port.
The British and French Ambassadors sailed from Vourla,
21st instant.

Mr. Canning replied to the memorial of the merchants
by an official communication, that Mr. Werry had instruc-
tions to continue the consular functions until the 15th,
after which period the Consul and the merchants might
remain at their own discretion, when they would 'have
the Dutch Consulate, open to them for business; and he.
warns them to prepare-for the contingency of a more de-
cided rupture. Meantime Sir Thomas Staines gives us
every expectation that one of his Majesty's ships will al-
ways be left in port, and the general opinion, founded on
the best information to be gleaned by the public is,
that there is apparently not the slightest necessity
for the departure of Consuls, merchants, or merchant
vessels by the 15th, and consequently all decide on staying
until compelled by imminent danger to fly. The Turks
continue the good police, and not an European hai been
insulted. At closing we hear a King's ship is coining in,
supposed to be the Mastiff surveying ship.

CONSTAT:TINOPLE, JAN. 11.

All the British ships mentioned on the 27th, are still
here, with the exception of the Skylark, Davis, which.
finally sailed for Smyrna 3d inst. ; she would wait for
convoy at the Dardanelles ; but by advices from Smyrna,
it is likely she would meet with little dr no detention there
for that object.
'The Tranby, Day, end Mary Berry, Baker, have
began discharging their corn cargoes, and the Cornelius,
Creighton, will be ready to do so in a feW days.
The Earsdon, Wightman, and Alexander, Antle,, are
still here with their cargoes, chiefly tallow on board, under
a hope that means may be found to enable them to.
proceed. I am, of course, very desirous of effecting this,
but dare not hold out nitwit hope:
. _ _

Government has still further restricted the number
of persons allowed to remain here, belonging to the three
Powers, awl many very respectable persons are included
amongst those ordered away.

It is said that the Austrian Minister has also been di-
rected to submit a list of his subjects for the inspection of
the Porte.

A new Paper, entitled the Colonist, has ap-
peared at the Cape of Good Hope, the, first
number of which, dated Nov. 22, we have just
received. The death and funeral of Mr. CAN-
NING form the principal p'rt of its melancholy
contents. The principles of the Colonist, as
fhr as we are able to judge, appear to he liberal.
The prospect of a plentiful harvest was looked
forward to as a great blessing, altar the failure of
four successive harvests immediately following
a large addition to the number of inhabitants in
the Colony. The changes in the internal
Government were also confidently expected to
produce the most beneficial results. Amid the
hope of future improvement, however, the
Colonist regrets that any doubts should remain
as to the immediate organization of a Legislative
Assembly—a boon for which the Colony is not
yet sufficiently prepared. The following arc a
few extracts :

.CHANGES.—It is generally understood, that Sir Richard
Plasket intends returning to England in the beginning of
next year, and that, during his absence, Colonel Bell will
be Acting-Secretary to Government.
COURT OF Jusricx.--The President, Sir John Truter,
it is said, retires on a pension of 806/. per annum ; each
of the other members is to receive 2001., with the excep-
tion of Mr. RogersOn, who is nominated Town Collector.
SUPREME' Comm.—We understand that a meeting of
the legal practitioners in Cape Town was held on Tuesday
at the chambers of his Honour Sir-JOhn Wylde, when the
regulations of the Charter were communicated to them,
under which they will be permitted to practice in-the new
Supreme Court. His Honour was likewise understood to
state on behalf of himself and brother Judges, that the
Court will take up the present practice and proceedings„at
the precise stage at which they shall be found on the Ist of
January next. The present Court, of Justice and Court' of
Appeals are abolished by the 'Charter. Appeals will lie
from the Supreme Court to the King in Couocil, but only
in cases where the matter in dispute shall exceed 1000/.
We are given to understand that the Charter will be pro-
mulgated in a very short time.
THE LORD BISHOP OF CALCUTTA..-•-•BefOIC his depar-
ture from this colony, (on the 26th October,) the Right
Rev. the Lord Bishop of Calcutta confirmed, hi the Dutch
Reformed Church, 360 persons. His Lordship also con-
secrated for an English Church, the portion of ground it)
the Goyernment Gardens, opposite Berg-street, granted
by his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, for that purpose.
THE KING OF THE NETHEILLANDS,.....The 18th inst.
being the Anniversary of the birth-day of his Majesty
William I. King of the Netherlands, a royal salute was
fired by the Kortenaar, 71, now lying in Table Bay,
which was answered by the Castle of Good Hope.
