LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 2S, 1828.

The dismissal of Mr. HUSKISSON, and the
resignation of his friends, should be hailed by the
Ultras, as affording an opportunity for the con-
struction of a purely Tory Administration. The
only difficulty with them must be, how far this
pure gold will suit for common use, without the
alloy of liberalism and intelligence. But we suspect
that the sagacity of the Duke of WELLINGTON
and of Mr. PEEL, will perceive symptoms of
danger which escape the observation of their
overjoyed retainers, and that they sincerely regret
the dissolution of a Cabinet, which commanded
in no ordinary degree the confidence and regard
of the country.
As to their means of forming a new Cabinet,
we are really at a loss to see how it can
be effected with the slightest probability of
enduring a month. The admirable observa-
tions of a cotemporary on the subject of military
rule, will find an echo in every English bosom ;
and a. Council of War can nerer be substituted
for our Cabinet Councils, except by foreign
bayonets. We know and acknowledge the
-transcendant merits of the Duke of WELLING-
TON and of Sir GEORGE MURRAY, than whom
two more distinguished soldiers do not exist :
but when with Lord HILL at the head of
the Army, and Sir H. HARDINGE, Secretary at
War, we see the late Commander-in-Chief and
his Quarter-Master-General sitting together in a
ei,binet from which Mr. HUSKISSON has
been eKpdled, as being too liberal in his
principles—when men trained in camps
and in unavoidable notions of arbitrary power, are
a once substituted for those who had risen
througl; the gradations of office to the highest
civil stations under the Crown—and when the
very natural suspicion of brawl. Accessions to the
Cabinet, from the ranks of the army, is taken into
conhdgation ; we do think that matters wear an
aspect far too c.efious to be trifled with, and
which it will require even military nerves to push
to their inevitable issue.

For what would be thought of appointing Mr.
Hus'cissoN 4u' 4-Loin DUDLEY to command
the fgst military
.expedltisut which sails
from our shores ? Would not any man
of sense repel the a,44nytion of their g-
ilefiS, from their acknoWledge4 talents, by ask-
ing why thp Duke of WELLINGTON and Eir
overlooked,

The Duke of WELLINGTON, 110 doubt, has
hitherto done admirably in his new vocation.
The repeal of the Test and Corporation
Acts should alone immortalise his memory,
and deeply shall we. regret being undeceived in
the opinions which we- had formed of his
pgriotism and his policy. He has it still
in his power to exchange the venal suffrages of

the meanest of our Aristocracy, for the lasting
gratitude and devotion of an admiring world.
Burgos could testify that even he can be de-
feated—let him beware of the House of Com-
mons and th►e Arras Estimates.

The French Papers of Sunday, with the Ga-
zette de France and the Messager des Cham-
hres of Monday's date, contain no news from
the East, iu the absence of which the affairs of
the Peninsula engross their attention. The
attempt of Don MIGUEL is looked upon
with apprehension by the French Government,
as such an usurpation would disturb the principle
of legitimacy, which would be rather embarrassing
to the House of Bourbon. The Messager des
Char-Fibres, the organ of the French Government,
repeats that in the event of MIOUEL asswming
the Crown the Ambassadors accredited to the
Court of Lisbon, would, as a matter of course,
lay down their diplomatic characters, and leave
the Don to make the best of his " most admired
disorder." He has secured the Priests—but
where is the Army ?

We received this morning the Alkernel???
Zeitung, and Frankfort Papers, of the 21st inst.
They contain news from Constantinople to the
30th ult. inclusive, at which time the SULTAN
and Divan were in hourly expectation of
receiving the Russian Manifesto, in order to
adopt more serious measures for the defence
of the Capital. -But we apprehend that, by
accounts of a later date from Constantinople, the
Ma►►ifesto of the Emperor NICHOLAS had bee►►
received, and had made a deep impression on the
Divan, though the SULTAN maintained his usual
composure and contempt of danger. It was re-
ported at Constantinople, that the French Go-
vernment had lately made fresh proposals for an ac-
commodation, which were rejected with scorn by
the REIS EFFENDI, *as the independence of
Greece was the basis of the treaty, and this time
PORTE would not accede to, because it looked
upon it only as affording the parties to the treaty
of London an opportunity of increasing their
demands. Every new concession was regarded
by the PORTE, as an inducement to fresh claims
and pretensions, and it was therefore determined
rather to die with honour than to live with
ignominy. In the mean time tranquillity pre-
vailed in the Capital,—more, we suspect, from
fear than an assurance of safety.
According to accounts from Jassy, of the 9th
inst. the Russian Grand Army crossed the
Lower Priith and the Danube at the same time
in several divisious. It was also reported that
the Turks in their retreat had set fire to Galatz
in five places. The accounts from Bucharest,
of the Bth, represent the Turkish force on the
Danube as not more than 40,000 men,—a
number wholly inadequate to resist the terrific
onset of the Russians. As the Russians ad-
vance into the interior, the Consuls of Foreign
Governments accredited to large commercial
tations cease their functions and retire. The fol-
lowing are extracts :
ow EXPRESS.)

CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL O.

We are in hourly expectation of the Russian Manifesto,
and of the news that the Russian troops have entered the
principalities. The Government appears to be waiting fur
this, in order to proceed on its own part to serious prepara-
tions-for defence against an attack, in the reality of which,
notwithstanding all threatening appearances, it has never
been disposed seriously to believe. At least this seems the
only mode of accounting for the fact, that in proportion so
few measures have been taken for energetic resistance, of
such manifest danger from so powerful an enemy as
Russia. For souse months past it has been said
that the Sultan was going to Adrianople with the
standard of the Prophet; but the Sultan has not yet
left Constantinople, and at Adrianople, which has scarcely
a garrison of 1,000 or 1,200 inen, not the smallest pre-
'parations have been matli to receive him. Now, indeed, it
is said, that Hussein Pacha will go to Adrianople as soon
as the Russian declaration of war is received, but nobody
conceives why the Porte should wait for this formal de-
claration of war, as it might clearly see in the Russian
declaration, or the Flatti Scheriff of the 20th of December,
what it had to expect from. Russia. It is reported that
the French Government has lately made, through the Am-
bassador of the Netherlands, fresh proposals to the Porte for
the termination of the affairs of Greece, but theywere at once
rejected by the Reis Effendi, as the treaty of 6th July last
was assumed as the basis of them, and the Po to will not
allow any foreign interference in its internal concerns,
among which it reckons the arrangements of its affairs with
the Greeks, and maintains that on religious principles it
cannot allow it; and because it seems to be convinced that
every new concession on its part will only draw after it
fresh claims and pretensions. "We know," the Reis
Effendi has said repeatedly, " the dangers that menace
us, bet we confide in the justice of our cause. We
may fall, if Providence has so decreed ; but we
will rather die with honour then live With ignominy."
Meantime, considering what a critical moment this is,
astonishing tranquillity prevails in this capital; to judge by
..)i4t ward appearances, we should imagine that the Turkish
Empire Reyer further from war than it is at present.
In the nest fortnight ur three Weeks we shall perhaps see
a difference.

JASSY, MAY 9.

We learn that on the '7th May the Russian Grand Army
also crossed the lower Pruth and the Danube, at Reui and
Ismail, in several corps. jp also Oported, that on the
approach of the Russians, the liirks set #re to Ciallat* in
gyg places, and retired to Braila. , At the same time
the Russian Pet, with twelve thousand troops OP
'board, appeared at the; Tnnt4 of the Danube, steering
towards Varna. It is believed it will land the troops there,
and then make a diversion, which will compel all the Turks
op the lower Danube to make a hasty retreat.
BUCHAREST, MAY 8.

We are in daily expectation of th:: Russians. The Hos-
Rothr is preparing to go to Constantinople, with his whole
family. The Austrian Consul goes to Hermanstadt, and
has already ceased his fini=tieps• The last trayellers that
have arrived here from Constantinople S 4 tll4t it is idle
to tail( of a large Turkish army on the Danube, and that
the whole may perhaps amount to 40,000 tun.

FaontForr, mAy 20.
(From the Courier de Smyrne of April 12.)

The Ardibkup a this city has received orders from the
patriarch at Constantiuopte, to make all the Greeks who
,under the protection of the foreign Consuls lay aside
the European dress, and wear the peculiar costume of
their own natiop. in case of need he is to have recourse

to liussein Pacha, who has himself received the, necessary
orders for the execution of this measure.

The Greek festival of Esta has been celebrated with un-
usual splendour. The procession, which was fol-
lowed by an immense crowd, came out of one of
the side doors of the Church, and went through
the street to re-enter at the great door. This
circumstance has been the more observed, as up to
this time the several Christian communities have
been obliged to confine their religious ceremonies to the in-
terior of their churches. The Greeks consider this innova-
tion as a signal honour, and a new pledge of the special
protection which is given to tkeir religion.

By the Persian, Captain PLUNKETT, we
have received Sydney Papers to the 20th of
December last, and Van Dieman's Land to
the 30th. We learn by an extract from
a private letter .by this conveyance, of the
2d of January, that they " hare had a little
bickering about the freedom of the press,
which will end in the whole of the corres-
pondence being laid before the home Govern-
ment. We have now several vessels in our
harbour. Among others the Harvey, for
London,; the Waterloo, (about 500 tons) from
Sydney, on her way to Batavia ; the Asia, for
Sydney ; and the North Mitain, from Greenock,
bound to Sydney, and several colonial craft.
Our market is glutted with goods. We have
experienced very dry weather lately, and our
crops are in consequence very thin, falling far
short of the usual average. The price of wheat
may be quoted at 10s. per bushel, late 3s. 6d.
Meat sd. per lb. ; but unless we have rain it
must advance, as there will scarcely be any food
for the cattle. On the Ist of January the
Aihion arrived."
PRICES AT SYDNEY.-New Wheat 61. 9d. a '7s. per
bushel ; Maize, 6s. 10d. ; Oats, ss. 3d. ; Flour, per 1001 W.
16s. fid. sterling ; Bread, bd. per loaf of 21b. ; Butter,
salt, 2s. 6d. per lb., fresh, do. 2s. 9d. ; Cheese, colo-
nial, ls. 3d. per lb. ; Potatoes, 16s. per cwt.; Beef, 41d.
per lb. in the quarter, joints 6d. ; Mutton, 7d., Pork, Bd.
per lb. ; English Soap, per box, 54c1. per lb. ; Brandy,
scarce, 20s. per gallon; Rum, per 5 gal., I'7s. 6d. ; Gin,
ditto, 20s. ; Geese, '7s. each, Turkeys, 18s. Ducks, ss.
These Papers contain nothing of an interesting nature
hut the above pricee. It appears the price of provisions
was rapidly on the rise in New South Wales, as well as in
Van Dieman's Land.

In another column we have given a document,
purporting to be official, and which, if true,
makes us lament that this country should have
taken any trouble in the cause of a people
who are titterly unworthy of any consideration.
It is an Address presented to the Regent of
Portugal, and signed by one Duke, fourteen
Marquisses, thirty-eight Counts, thirteen Vis-
counts, seven Principals (a church dignity), two
Priors of Military Orders, and eight Barons,
Members of the Portuguese Nebility—total
eighty-three ; assuring Don MIGUEL that the
Throne belongs to him, and praying him to as-
semble the ancient Cortes to settle this point, and
abolish Don PED Ho's Constitutional Charter, &c.
Upon such a document it would be idle to waste
any words. A nobility who can so far degrade
themselves, as to truckle to such a Prince as
Don MSQUEL, are as unworthy of their titles
as of their country. We shall not waste
our indignation upon such characters—let
them bow the knee and be spurned.

Portugal can never be worth a thought till
regeneration begin with the peasant and purge
the priest and the despot.

New Orleans Papers to the 4th of April
have been received at the North and South
American Coffee-house. The following are
extracts :

Mr. Taylor, who ltas been for the last three years at-
tached to the Legation of the United States at Mexico,
has passed through this place on his way to Washington.
We understand that Mr. Taylor is the bearer of Treaties
of Commerce and Boundaries, which have been negotiated
by our Minister, Mr. Poinsett, and have received the sanc-
tion of our Senate.

Mexico.—(From the Boston Commercial Gazette of
the Ist of May, received at the North and South Ame-
rican Coffee-house.)—We have private information before
us from Mexico, so late as the 23d of March. It is of a
more favourable nature than the preceding advices. It is
stated in these papers, that in the Savannah, arrived at
New York from Vera Cruz, came forty-three passengers,
among whom are the former Governor of Vera Cruz and
other distinguished Spaniards.
An Act of Congress was approved on the Pith ult.,
authorising the President, with the advice and consent of
the Senate, to appoint such agent or agents as may be use-
fully employed in prosecuting the designation of the line
forming the north-east boundary of the States, and bring-
ing the existing controversy with Great Britain to a
speedy termination. We understand from Washington
that Messrs. Harding, Denton, Watson, and M'Lean have
been examined before the Committee, appointed to consider
the affair between Colonel Jarvis and Mr. Adams, and that
their testimony confirms .the statement already given by
Colonel Jarvis, as to the insult offered to him at
the President's levee. We hear it is reported also
that Mr. J. Adams has likewise been examined before the
Committee, and that his account of the affair does not
differ materially from that which has been stated by the
above gentleman; it is thought that the Committee will re-
port a statement of facts, in such form as will convey a cen-
sure upon the conduct of Mr. Adams, with disapprobation
of that part of the proceedings of Colonel Jarvis, which
may seem disrespectful to the House and Senate, and that
Colonel J. will be excluded from the Halls of Congress for
the remainder of the season.

The number of Patents granted in 1827 was 380, pro-
ducing to the United States Treas Cry the sum of 9,900
dollars.

It is stated, in letters from Washington of the 15th
instant, that General Macomb was that morning nomi-
nated to the Senate as Commander in Chief of the Army.
serious fire at. Albany bad taken place on the 17th ; the
amount of the loss is statell at 50,000 dollars.—Money is
represented as remarkably scarce at Boston.

It is with great satisfaction we havete an-
thL4 intelligence has this morning been
received at the North and South American
Coffee-house, of the safety of the packet ship
Leeds, Capt. SPRAGUE, for whose safety the
utmost alarm had been felt, she having sailed
on the Ist of April. It appears that she had re-
turned to New York with the loss of main and
mizen mast in a white squall, on the 7th,in
41. W. long. 57. Sixty guineas were offered
and refused on this vessel at Lloyd's.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TwELva o'CLocr.

Consols opened this morning at 615 i f for this,
and 8.5 f, sellers, for next time, since which, without
any particular business doing, the market has become
heavy; notwithstanding the Hebrews are said to be
borrowing stock to create a temporary scarcity, and
also preparing to take a large quantity on the settling
day, it is supposed the supply, however, which the
public have given for the last few days will be quite
equal to the demand; the continuation is going off,
which shews the account is rather Bearish, the prices
are now 85k, sellers, for the 30th inst., and 11- I for
the new account. India Bonds are 97 9 pm.; Ex-
chequer Bills, 61 2 pm.
In the Foreign Funds, the Portuguese rumours of
yesterday have subsided, and the Bonds are again
lower, the nearest price being 54/ 5 ; Mexican,
38i 9; Russian, 89i 4 ; and Danish, 59, 60.
Letters are said to have been received at the Admi-
ralty from the Captain of his Majesty's ship Scylla, at
Vera Cruz, who states that he has on board a rich
and valuable cargo from Mexico, but not a word
relates, it is understood, to any of the dollars being
on account of the Mexican Government far theßond-
holders, but it seems they are chiefly for the poor
native Spaniards, driven by the impolitic measures
of this young, thriving, and faithful State, to seek
an asylum in other countries, taking with them the
wealth of the country, and leaving it poor in-
deed. The announcement of the New York packet
ship off Liverpool excited some anxiety this morn-
ing amongst the Mexican dealers, until it was found

This morning about 11 o'clock, BULL'S
Paddington stage was unfortunately upset on turning the
corner of Fore-street, in the city, and one of the
passengers
(name, unknown,) was most seriously injured, having
broken his thigh, and received a severe concussion on the
head. He was carried to Mr. PLatocaca's, the Castle
Tavern, Mooraelds, where he now lies in a most preca-
rious state. Another Paddington stage was overthrown
this morning at the bottom of Chiswell-street, but the ac-
cident was not attended with any serious consequences.

which frequently extends to a considerable distance, are
covered with a glutinous, and exceedingly offensive sub-
stance, from which it is found very difficult to cican'e

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

Thy Loan CHIEF BARON sat this day at Nisi Fri fl

HART V. THE BISHOP' OF ST. DAVID'S.
This was an actiun brought by the plaintiff, Wh°
is an upholsterer residing in the Surreproad, agaio
the Bishop of St. David's, for an injury done to the
plaintiff's gig, in consequence of the negligent drivill
of the defendant's coachman.
It appeared that on the 24th of the last month
the plaintiff was driving in a gig up Portland-ploce
towards the Regent's Park, accompanied by bi 4
sister-in-law. The Bishop of St. David's carriage
was going in the same direction with the gig!,
and the coachman having turned his horses lOW
suddenly, the pole of the carriage caught in the g 1
and smashed it in pieces. The side pannel and the
back of the gig were broken, and Mr. Hart, and the
lady who accompanied him, were thrown out, but re.
ceived no personal injury. The damage done to the
gig was estimated at about 161. Both the coach
and gig were driving at a moderate pace.
The defence set up was, that the accident was at'
tributable entirely to the plaintiff's own carelessneof
as he might have avoided the coach, had he pulled
up and kept his own side of the road.
There were several witnesses examined at both,
sides, whose evidence was directly contradictory.
The LORD CHIEF BARON left the "case entirely to
the Jury.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 161., costs 404.

LONDON SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.)

To-day these Sessions commenced before tile
LORD MAYOR, RECORDER, several Aldermen, and:
the Slicrilfs. A considerable time was occupied
in getting a Jury. Various cases of alleged trifling
assaults were called on of no importance whatever,
and in none of whic the roecuto apeared ex•
cept one, and where h
the verdict was not returned
when we left.

Mary Loue was called up for judgment upon all
indictment, on which at a former Sessions she wo4
found guilty, for keeping a disorderly house in 13ow-
lane, and ordered to be imprisoned in the Home of
Correction for three calendar months, and there kept
to hard labour.

PUBLICAN'S LICENCE.
1111.. Cable, of the Rose and Crown public-house,
Queenhithe, applied for the renewal of his licence,
which had been refused on a former occasioo'
The objection to the granting of the license WO
the embarrassed circumstances of Mr. Cable; no
objection was raised to the moral character of the or
plicant.
Aldermen WAITIMAN and BROIVNE were de'
cidedly of opinion that the Court ought to grant
the licence, as in their estimation it had nothing to
do with the pecuniary circumstances of Mr. Coble.
The RECORDER clearly thought that the Court
ought to be assured that the party keeping a public-
house was not in that state of poverty that laid itio'
open to the temptation of keeping disorderly hours.
Sir C. HUNTER thought the applicant entitled
to have his licence, on giving security that he
would keep good hours, and otherwise conduct him-
self properly, notice of that bail being to be given.
This was agreed to, and the licence ordered.
