, With respect to' the origin of the alleged conspiracy of The,
Greeks to throw off the fettert of Turkey, we apprehend
; that whatever may. be brought to light hersaer, which
,it
is by no means our business to predict, there is ma-41g so
strange or unnatural •in the ;undertaking, as to ccmpel us "Co
' ascribe it to the intrigues of foreign Governments. UR-,
Turks are known to have enslaved their Greek subjects :for
centuries, and to be repaid by them with a 'degree of hatred
amounting to abliorrentie. in the heart of every Greek. JIB men
who saw the state of the Ttithisli Empire, and the ekeetkof
its barbarous and provoking tyranny upon its Christian sub-
jects, calculating likewise that the latter Were 'numeridany
more than equal to the Nialiometans of' Turkey in :Etirdite,
must have expected—and, in fact,. have for years expectetk—
. that the Greeks would seize the, earliest opportunity to .riceand recover their freedom. Under -these CiretlinStaneet, t'lte
wonder is not that the enterprise should hive at length been
attempted, but that it should have been so long delayed ; and.
it seems to us to be quite superfluous to search further foi the
causes of an event so lirobable, than to the groWing imbeeility
of a hated tyrant, and to the consciousness of accuinubitAl
wrongseand of increasing power in those who have sulfere4 frord
his tyranny. So far as an accession of territory could be odn-
sidered profitable to those whose dominions are already perhaps
more than conveniently extensive, Russia and Austria might
perhaps be gainers by the dissolution of the Turkish EMpire ;
but they both appear anxious to have- it understood that they
have a nearer interest in defending foreign despotism than- in
dividing its spoils..
• .MORNING CHRONICLE.]
Letters are in town from Bahia to the 14th, Feb., which may
be considered more recent from the Brazils than can be brought
by the daily expected packet, which was to leave Rio Janeiro
'at the, end of January. At the above date, Bahia was per.
fectly tranquil, and the inhabitants waiting with the lit-
most anxiety -the King's determination on the subject of
Portuguese affairs. Five vessels were loading with Brazil
wood for • England, on account of government, and,' as it
was thought, for the use of the dipliiinatic agents in Europe.
The exportation' of -the Pao da ltainha, as this dye wood is
called, is among the Crown privileges, but the shipments were
usually made direct to Lisbon, with the exception of the period
the French were in Portugal, when they were made dir,xt to
this country. -.The present alteration of the destination is :wt,.
however, to be attributed to the chanots in the mother cot:airy,

The Earl of EGREIVIONT presented Petitions
`from the Owners and Occupiers of Land in the
neighbourhood of Lewes, Aylesham, Cuckfteld,
Staining and Brighton, in the County of Sus-
sex, praying for Agricultural relief. Impressed
with the importance of the subject, his Lordship

tions to the same effect from certain Parishes in
the County of Leicester.—Laid on the table.
Petitions against the Catholic Bill were then

passed, and ordered to be sent to the Commons.
—Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

At four o'clock there were only 90 Members
present, and there being an Election Ballot, the
presence of a hundred was necessary. The
SrEAKErtaccordingly declared the House to stand
adjourned till to-morrow.

THE COLONIES.

CANADA.

[Prom-" The Quebec Gazettes" from the 99th January to,
February 22,1, 1821.)

An attempt is making at Halifax to countervail, in some de-
gree, the American Law, (which prevents them from sending
other than Nova Scotia produce to our market,) by laying a tax
on American produce, in the hope of obtaining the same sup-
plies from Canada, and exporting their West India produce
lad other articles thither.—lt was proposed in the Legislature,
by the act, to lay a duty of 20 dollars on horses ; 16 dollars on
oxen,; 3 dollars on cows and cattle under 3 years old ; 1 dollar
on.sheep, and & dollars on hogs. On every barn' of apples or
pears 53.; on every bushel of nuts, 2s. ; on every cwt. of onions,
fi.; on every 1000 feet of board, plank and scantling, 20s. ; on
every 1000 r. o. ash, or beach staves, 205.; on every 1000
shingles, ss. The Legislature of Nova Scotia have ,passed a
law for an emission of small Promissory Notes.—The esta-
blishment of a Bank is again talked of at Halifai.
KiN'OSTON, (U. C.) JA.r. 26.—His Majesty has been pleas-
ed to appoint the following Gentlemen to be Members of the
Honourable Legislative Council of Upper Canada e--
The Hon. and Rev. and Dr. Strachan, Angus Mackintosh,
Esq., Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph Wells, Duncan Cameron,
George llerchiner Parkland, Esqrs.
His Excellency the Lieut.-Governor has been pleased to ap-
point the Rev. William Macau!), to be Chaplain of the Hon.
Legislative Council, vice the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Strachan.—
His Excellency has also been pleased to appoint Benjamin
Geale, Esq. to be Master _in Chancery attendant on the Hon.
Legislative Council, vice Kemble, resigned.
By a Proclamation, bearing date the 10th inst. 44 Excel-
lency the Lieut—Govemor has been pleased to declare Hal-
lowell to be a Port Of Entry and Clearance. This flourishing
village is thus placed on a footing with Bath and Be.3.ville, in
repect to external trade.
HAnerAsc, JAN. 15.—0 n Friday Mr. Fraser brought for-
ward his prothised motion, in the House of Assembly, relative to
the fees enforced by the Collector of his Majesty's Customs,
which gave rise to an interesting and important debate, that
occupied the attention of the House to the close of the following
day, when it was agreed upon, by & majority of 30 to 7, that
a Bill for regulating the Fees relative to the Coasting Trade of
this Province, should be brought in. Several other Resolutions
were passed connected with the subject, among which the fol-
lowing was agreed to unanimously :—Resolved; That ,a Com-
mittee he appointed to prepare an Address to his Excellency
the; Lieutenant-Governor, stating to him the • reasons which
have induced the House to come to the foregoing Resolutions,
and requesting him to give every facility to the endeavours of
the rrcuee to remove the grievous and oppressive but-then en-
dtrred by the Coasting Trade of this Province.
,TAN. 24.—0 n Sunday last, 'the Archbishop of
Quebec, assisted by his Clergy, performed, in the CATHOLIC
Parish Church of this city, the ceremony of installing the Re-
verend Mr. J. J. Lartigue, a BISHOP of this Diocese.
MOITTREAL, JAN. 27.—1 t will be observed by the rate of
the Thermometer, that the cold for some days during the past
week has been unusually severe. Our statement is taken
from a very accurate Thermometer, placed .in a good situation
in town. In the suburbs and out in the country, it is said to,
have been as low as 26 below 0.

We are happy to state, that his Excellency the Governor has,
by virtue of the power vested in him, been pleased to order, that
sixty acres of the public land, adjoining the village of Laprairie,
be conceded immediately in lots of about GO by 90 feet each,
agreeable to an ex relent plan, making in all about 222 lots, ex-
clusive of a lot of one acre for the purpose of building a Pro-
testant Church thereon ; another of a like extent for a burying
ground of the same dimensions ; and a third, of about two acrcs
far the purpose of a public school. The. agent, Mr. Henry, ha;
received -orders to grant the lots without delay ; the principal
streets to be sixty feet wide, the others forty.
ErNGsTorr, (U. C.) FEB. 2.—Since last week a very gre-at
change has taken place in the weather—and we have bad a ra-
pid transition from the extreme told of Nova ZeMla, to the

mild tcmperatnre of an English month of March. the ther-
mometer stood one day last week at .25 deg. below zero, and it
was yesterday 45 degrees above—making a difference of 70 de-
grees. Since Monday 'soft sotitherly winds have carried off the
snowin this vicinity, and put a stop to all travelling in sleighs.
On Wednesday evening, heavy showers of rain came seasonably
in aid of the mills in the country, all of which were waiting till.
a supply of. water would enable them to grind wheat enough for
the bread of the neighbouring farmers.

MONTREAL, FEB. 3.—DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—On Wed-
nesday last, the elegant library and bookstore, belonging to
Messrs. Nickless and M'Donnell, of this city, situated opposite
the Court-house, we regret to say, was consumed by fire. The
fire broke out in the attic story, which was occupied as a
bindery, during the time the work people were at dinner ; but
whether it arose from an insecure stove-pipe, from the negli-
gence of the binders, or from any other cause, is not known.
The flames were not discovered until they hid reached the roof,
and all hopes of saving the building totally lost. As it hap-
pened during the day, the prompt exertions of the neighbours
enabled them to save a large part of the property ; but -as must
be the casein the bustle of removing books and articles of this
description, a serious loss and damage must have occurred—
many valuable books have been injured, and whole sets ren-
dered useless by a part of them being lost. Several books were
in the bindery at the time, and those, together with a large
quantity of stationary, have been completely consumed.. The
favourableness of the weather, (it being a thaw and quite calm
at the "time) the, hour at which it occurred aiding the active ex-
ertions of the citizens, fortunately preserved the adjoining build-
ings ; no other house except the one was burnt. We under-
stand 'the property was insured' in the Phtenix Fire-office for
26501. and the house for 10001.

THE WEATIIER.—During the present week, the weather'
changed from severe frost to a few days of, complete thaw. The
snow has nearly disappeared in some parts *of the country, and
we understand the ice on the Richelieu, near the Isle aux Noix,
has become so weak that the crossing is dangerous.
MILITARY DISPOSITIONI.—Next spring the regiments in
Canada are disposed as follows : 37th and 70th regiments to. be
stationed at Quebec ; 60th at Montreal ; 76th at Kingston ; and
68th to remain on the upper frontier.—(Montreal Courant.)
KIN'OSTON, (:. C.) FEB. 9—On Saturday last two men,
residents at Cape Vincent, on the American side, observed,
while coming round the southern end of Wolfe Island, a strange
animal on the ice, about two miles from the shore. They im.
mediately pursued it, and on catching it fbund that it was a
seal. They have brought it oyer to this place to exhibit as a
curiosity, and multitudes are flocking to view this new inhabi.
tant of our fresh water sea.

QuEnEc, FEB. 12.--The cold weather during the last
month has extended to Georgia, where the thermometer on the
4th January was two degrees below zero. In the whole nor-
thern section of the United States the winter seems to have been
more severe than at Quebec. It was only on the 31st January
that the ice broke up in New York bay so as to admit of the
entry of vessels into that port. On the Ist inst. loaded sleighs
were still passing on Long Island Sound. At these dates we
arc confident that a vessel might have sailed from the port of
Quebec, and got out of the river in safety.
The ice over the St. Lawrence is still stopt opposite the
mouth of the Claudiere, although the weather has continued
unusually mild since the 30th ult. A road has been opened
on the ice across the river at the above place and now forms
an easy communizz.tion between Quebec and the south shore.
• QtrtirEc, Fan. 19.—A. New York paper of the 12th states,
that the navigation of Long Island S ..Ind was still interrupted
by ice.

It hat been very generally reported in this City that the Le-1
gislature of this Province will be prorogued about the 10th of
next month. To-morrow has been fixed in the House of As-
sembly for going into Committee on the Vote of Supply and
the Estimate of the Civil Expenditure for the current year.
COLLEGE (U.S.)—The trustees of Union College,
at Schenectady, have made their annual report to the Legisla-
ture, by which it appears that there are 240 students at present
in that seminary, excluding nearly all the fresh men, as there is
not room for their accommodation, and that 60 Gentlemen were
admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Arts at the last com-
mencement. The annual expence of a student, including
board, tuition, and books, is Dl4O. There are Professors of
Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, Languages, Belles Lettrcs,
Chemistry and French Language. •

QUEBEC, FEB. 22.—The Rev. J. L. Mills begs to acknow-
ledge the receipt of the sum of £5O currency from the Garrison
Theatrical Amateurs, to be appropriated to the relief of dis
tressed Emigrants. The supply is most seasonable, as the
funds raised fot this purpose are nearly exhausted.—The Rev.
J. L. Stills takes this opportunity of acknowledging the receipt
of the following sums, which have been subscribed for the same
object during the winter, by the Staff Corps and Departments
in the Garrison, and placed in the hands of the Treasurer of
the Emigrants' Society.

THE LEGISEaTtraE.—The business of the Legislature of
this Province, which has been in Session since the 14th Decem-
ber, with some interruptions occasioned by the Holidays, does
not appear to be in great forwardness. We understand, how-
ever, that several-of-the numerous Committees appointed early
in the Session, hate reported, and that the matters c.t. the most
general interest kill-come.speed.ily before the House. The new
Judicature Bill, foundedwe believe on the Resolutions of the
Legislative Council, which have been published, has .passet: that
body, and has been ordered by the Assembly to be printed pre-
vious to the second reading, which is fixed for to-morrow. The
Estimate of the. Civil Expenditure Will also come under consi-
deration on the same day ; and it is believed that generally mat-
ters are in that state of forwardness, which will enable the As-
sembly shortly to express its opinion on the different public
measures which have been brought before it. • Both public and
private business however suffer materially, it is said, from a
want of method and regularity in the preparatory stages, and
this hei been greatly increased by the late interruptions of the
regular Sc.ssioAs. Some wariu and prolonged discussions, on
matters of ir.inor 'public importance, have also. occasionally
taken place in the House, priiducing very little other effect than
giving an appearance of personal feeling and interest to the
Members, exciting divisions, and giving a' wrong direction to
public Opinion. These, however, are ev;;.s which are probably
unavoidable in a greater or lesser degree in every pogulaF As-
.
scathly.--(Qu.11.K.-.: Gazette.)

FOR THE SUN.

POPERY.

MR.P.DITOIt.4 beg leave to refer the Public to the
subjoined admirable Letter on this subject, from
that venerable divine the late JOHN WESLEY,
and I wish that.Mr; LBERFORcE, Mr. GRANT,
and some others would read it, and brillg to their
recollection their formeiwapinions and conduct
on TIUS GREAT CONSTITUTIONAL SUBJECT. I
am always anxious to avoid personalities,; but
to look on tamely, and to see the tergiversations
of the present day, renders it impossible to avoid
them. To use a common-place expression, the
conduct of certain individuals would " turn a
stone," but the loaves and fishes will impel men
to deviate, and, therefore, we ought not pro-
bably, to be surprised at their weaknesses, or at
any conduct which may now be pursued on this
occasion, any more than, on a recent lamentable
one, when a-certain individual, who, afraid to
offend the of B k, quitted his colleagues,
and his country, but did not hesitate to return
to defend and uphold the ,
bylon ! I have heard a great deal about the li-
berality, forbearance, and kind consideration,
with which Mr. PLUNKETT'S Bill has been
treated, but really, it appears to me to have been
altogether on the part of the individuals who are
NOT ASHAMED to support the Protestant Commu-
nity and Interests, for, on the other side, there
has been a total disregard of their conscientious
scruples and feelings. Indeed, it was with pain
that-I read the public., reports of the debates in the
Upper House of Parliament of last night ; when,
on a question beina asked, by a distinguished
Noble and LearneeLord, whether it was really
intended to bring on the second reading of Mr.
PLUNKETT'S Bill, on Monday next, he was an-;
swered in a tone, spirit, and feeling, which the
country cannot view but with alarm, for reasons
which on another day I will, with your permis-
sion,state to the public—" that it would un-
" doubtedly be moved on that day, and it was
" hoped that the Learned and Noble Lord would
" BE PREPARED BY THAT TIME "—(A laugh)—
On a great national question of this nature,
deeply involvinWhe civil and religious liberty
of the people, k=did not imagine that any thing
which I.:as said, or which had occurred in the
Upper House upon it, would have produced such
an effect, or have drawn forth such an observation;
it is, however, an intimation to the people, and
they must be prepared to carry their Petitions to
the FOOT OF THE THRONE, on this vital subject.
To the Upper House of Parliament I have al-
ways looked for the support of all the great cardinal
points of the present Establishment in Church and
State, and I rely, confidently, that they will not
give their sanction to any measures, which are
likely to lessen- or undermine their safety.—
With great satisfaction, I refer to some obser-
vations, which were 'reported to have been made
irk a preceding.session by Lord HoLEAND, on a
declara.tion on this subject, which was attributed
to The Sovereign and said to have been repeated
by the Clerk of the Closet. If I recollect cor-
rectly, the words imputed to His MAJESTY on
that occasion, which I own afforded me, then, as
they do now, the most grateful satisfaction—were,
tlitt he was determined to walk in the kvays of His
late most excellent father, who was the most con-
stitutional Monarch this country ever possessed;
and that HE NEVER would deviate an iota from THE
BASIS of the arrangement which seated the House
of Brunswick on the Throne of these realms ! To
the various rumours of the day I pay no attention.
I am satisfied that THE KING is insensible to all im-
proper influences and advice, from whatever quar-
ter they may proceed, and that he will not al-
low any private intimacies, friendships, or con-
nexions of any kind, to weigh a feather with him
on this momentous question, arid that the insinua-
tions which have beaen thrown out are as unde-
serving of notice, and as devoid of truth, as those
which prevailed in the course of the last autumn,
when, during a recent investigation, he was resi-
dent in Windsor Park ; but I must conclude,
and resume this subject on another day. * * * *
