overtures for the Treaty were made at Petersburgh
by the Duke of Wellington, who, we know, was but
ill inclined towards the Greeks ; but Mr; Canning
was still alive, and guided the English policy. He
wished not to-exclude the unfortunate Greeks from
the benefit of civil and religious liberty. He, how-
ever, desired the maintenance of peace in Europe.
Therefore it was that he concluded the alliance be-
tween England, France, and Russia. We may be-
lieve Mr. Canning would, by the ascendant of his'
character, have attained the result he wished, lq
delaying the crisis on which we are entering. His
snccessors, however, have not been able to attempt
his purpose with any hope of success. Hence the
::esignation of Viscount Goderich, and hence the
accession of the Duke of Wellington, and the party
supposed to be more Turkish than Greek.
The Duke, therefore, has been called into office,
exactly because he did not wish war. He, how-
ever, finds war commence on the very morroW of
hi; accession. Who knows whether the choice of
him has not exercised some influence on the prompt
and decisive resolution of the Cabinet of Peters-
burgh 7' Who knows whether Russia has not sus-
pected, in such a choice, a beginning of a return

Jcnows whether that suspicion has not determined

informed of it before

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MMccH 20.

1,362,377 12

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat at a Quarter
before Five o'clock.
Mr. 11'41.MES and others from the Commons brought
up the Annual Duties Bill during the present year.
Also a Bill to indemnify such persons in the United King-
dom as had omitted to qualify themselves forcertain offices
of employment, and to extend the time for that purpose
till March, 1829. Also, a Bill for more effectually re-
pairing Roads in Kent.
General GASCOYNE brought up a Bill for enabling the
proprietors of the Liverpool, Manchester, and Foot's-tray
Rtil-way, to alter it.

. _
Lord STARLEY and others brought up a Bill for more
effectually repairing roads in the County Palatine of Lan-
caster and Cumberland.

Earl FITZWILLIAM presented petitions from the
Protestant Dissenters of Mill-hill Chapel, Leeds, of North-
gate Chapel, Halifax, of Ilarnesby and of Attereliffe, in
the county of York, for the repeal of the. Test and Cor-
poration Acts.

Does not this give the'key to the species of acri-
mony, with regard to Russia, which prevails in the
English Journals ? Her right of attack is not posi-
tively denied, except by those London papers de-
voted to the interests of the Aristocracy, and the
political successors of Lord Castlereagh. .
For some clays there has been a rumour of an ex-
pedition. It is certain that several bodies of troops
have marched towards our ports on the Mediterra-
nean, where preparations for embarkation are making
but there is no certainty as to their destination.—
We may suppose, however, that they will not re-
main inactive if England sends troops into Greece
while Russia occupies the Principalities.
in case France and England should send an ex-
pedition into the Morea, these two Powers would
most directly make war against the Porte. In Mol-
davia and Wallachia, the Russians will not find a
single Turk to fight; they may occupy these two
Ppovinces with Out firing a shot. And besides, the
rte does not deny some claim in Russia on the
Principalities. The Ottomans do not, however,
Nield one of their pretensions to the absolute Sove-
reignty of Greece: Here they may have both ar-
mies and 'subjects : the war would therefore be
more active in the Morea than in her Principalities.
As far as the Danube, then, the Russians may
march forward without any obstacle, while, by land-
ing in the Morea, the English must draw the sword. '
On the other hand a hope is entertained that every
thing will be arranged when the Russians are en-
camped on the borders of the Danube. Turkey will
no more yield on the Danube than she did on the
Frith. _ . •

The Bishop of BRISTOL Presented a petition from the
Archdeacon and Clergy of Leicester, against any further
concession to the Catholics. Also a petition from a person
in the county of Durham, of the Established persuasion,
against the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts.
The Bishop of WINCHESTER presented a petition to
the same effect, from the Archdeacon and Clergy of Win-
chester.

the House with such a statement as would be satisfactory
to a vast number of merchants anxiously looking up to him
for it.

Earl DlJDLEY.—Undoubtedly war had been carried
on between these States for a considerable length of
time, and in a manner calculated to do considerable harm
to our own commerce, but he could assure the Noble Lord
and the House, that from the beginning of hostilities, both
antecedently to his coming into office and ever since, no
endeavour was wanting on our part, aided by the great zeal
and ability of our Ministers at Buenos Ayres and the
Brazils, to procure a reconciliation between the parties.
Hitherto these endevours had been tried witjiout success, but
he could assure their Lordships that he was justified upon a
former occasion in holding out a prospect of a hope of
approaching pacification. It was impossible to speak
with certainty in cases of this kind, but this much
he would say, that the hope which he had previously ex-
pressed had not quite vanished ; indeed it was revived
by the most recent accounts from these parts, at the same
time he did not wish to be understood as 'making a state-
ment in any degree certain on the subject. These two
nations had been so much embittered against each other
by long warfare, and by what they conceived conflicting
interests, that greater difficulties would arise in reconcil-
ing them than at first appeared. With respect to the par-
deniar suffering of our own commerce, and the practice of
privateering, he would promise that hisMajesty'sGovernment
would do all that the law of nations would warrant. We
heard some time since that privateers received letters of
marque from these Governments, although fitted out else-
where, upon which instructions were instantly sent out to
our Admiral on that station to take the most energetic
means for counteracting any mischief which might arise to
us from the continuance of such a system. With respect
to the blockade, which certtiuly, by putting an end to all
our commerce by locking up a large portion of our
capital did our merchants great injury, the Noble Lord
assured the House that this Government had taken the only
steps svhicli under the circumstances they could resort to.
As soon as he heard of the blockade and of its conse-
quences, he lost no time in laying the papers before the
Law Officers of the Crown, by whose advice, and by
whose advice only, he was bound to act. He put to them
the question whether that blockade was an effective blockade,
and if these officers had declared that the blockade was not
effectual, slum the most speedy means would . have been
taken to disregard it. The opinion of the Law Officers
was, that we were not then in possession of such
information as could Lead us to think that the blockade was
what is called a proper blockade ; but whenever it shall
turn out that it is not an effectual blockade, then it
shall be disregarded.
Lord STRANGFORD feared that no very qualified re-
monstrance would produce any effect on the parties. It
was notorious that many of the Ministers of that Govern-
ment were owners in the privateers. Looking at the Acts
of Bankruptcy by which these Governments had swindled
us of 20 millions; if we called theM into existence, if
we created them, it was clear we had no right to be very
proud of our works.--:(Hear, and a laugh.)

Lord SHAFTESBURY moved the second reading of a
private Bill.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE came forward to present
a petition respecting a Bill in progress in the other House
(the East Retford Election Bill). The petitioners com-
plained of the proceedings on that Bill—

We see, therefore, that the further we advance in
reasoning and probabilities; without mentioning
Austria, which trembles at tli,l sight of the Russians
in motion, the more numerous become the compli-
.cations of those grave questions, in which so many
.different views, contrary objects, and bogile interests,
are concerned.

(Fawn the Courier Francais of Tuesday.)

FARts, MAacti 18.—It was expected that in the
late sittings of the British Parliament some ques-
tions would he put to the Ministers on the subject
of the affairs of the East; the expectation has, how-
ever, been disappointed. There would be cause for
wonder at this silence cm the tart of the Opposi-
tion, were not the conduct of the Ilfiiiisters. on seve-
xa important subjects Demembered. We have seen
them, by confidential communications, avow pes-
t-ions which would no doubt have been addressed .to
them ; awl explanations which must of necessity
._give some indication of the projects of the Govern-
ment. The Journals, however, which have received
these communications, make conjectures, reflections,
and threats, which. are galculated to remove the po-
litical veil with which Bsitia policy would fain re-
main enveloped.

The Noble Duke was-here interrupted, and told by the
Earl of Shaftesbury that be could not bring forward such a
subject on the present occasion—the Bill must first be
brought up from the Commons.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a petition
from the inhabitants of the vicinity of Down, praying for
the abolition of the Slave Trade.

Lord ROSSLYN presented a petition from the Pro-
t.estant Dissenters of Denbigh, against the Test and Cor-
poration Acts.

Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented, a petition from the
Protestant Dissenters of Market Drayton to the same effect.
Lord DARNLEY presented a petition from the Roman
Catholics of the city of Derry, against the Sub-Letting Act.
Earl DUDLEY presented a petition from the Protestant
Di' enters of Stafford, of a meeting-house, in Wolverhamp-
ton-street, Dudley, of Wolverhampton, Kidderminster, and
Rewdley, against the Test and Corporation Acts.
The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE presented a petition from
the freemen householders of Castle Baynard Ward, in the
city of London, praying they might be entitled to the election
of the chief Officers and Parliamentiry Representatives of
the city of Loadon, as well as Liverymen. This being the
first petition on this subject presented, the Noble Marquis
would give no opinion upon it, farther than moving that it
might be read. It was read accordingly.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented petitions from
numerous places against the Test and Corporation Acts.
The Noble Marquis moved that his Order for summon-
ing the House, on his Bill, on ThUrsday next, might be
discharged, as the House had been previously summoned
on that day for the Came Laws, and that his Order might
stand for the following day.—Agreed to.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said that he felt a
strong inclination to go further than his Noble Friend
in asking questions, but the task was of so very pecu-
liarly delicate a nature that he would not, on thi.s oc-
casion, trouble the House. From what transpired, however,
he could net refrain front asking their Lordships to turn
to the Foreign policy of this country before the forma-
tion of the last Cabinet, and then to see how we
at present stood with respect to south America,
Portugal, and Greece. The expedition to Portugal he
thought had turned out one of the most unfortu-
nate expeditions this country had ever engaged in.
Whatever the feelings of the people of Portugal were, he
hoped the people of this country would not oppose
them. We were now placed in a state more 'depend-
ant on the great Continental Nations than we ever
before were. He sincerely hoped his Noble Friend
at the head of the Government, would see his way through
all the difficulties which presented themselves, as he cer-
tainly had been left by his predecessor a worse legacy than
ever had been bequeathed to any statesman.—(fletu%)
The Howe then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, MA RCII 20.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at four o'clock.
Mr. Crafer, from the Treasury, presented an account of
