LONDON.
:MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 10, 1828.

It has singularly happened, that two Reverend
individuals, bitterly opposed to the Roman Ca-
thzJics, have unintentionally done more to ad-
vance their claimS than the reasoning. and, elo-
quence of half their supporters. It was only
last year that Dr. Piilr.j.fOTTS expoSed the
imposture of the Pitt Club, and we will ven-
ture to say that the Archbishop of TuANt's
speech, which will be found in our Paper of
to-day, has. gained more votes for the Catholics
than evrn 'Lord PLUNKETT'S can posibly obtain.
It would be injustice to our readers, to antici-
pate, by any comments, the amusement which
they will derive from a perusal of the venerable
Bishop's speech. Suffice it to say, that it con-
vulsed the House with laughter ; which on, so
grave a subject, and considering the high au-
thorities which he quoted, is at least a most ex-
traordinary fact. .
Lora CARNARVON made an excellent speech,
and those of Loth LANSDOWNE and GOOE-
RICH were admirable, but most Of the principal
speakers seem to have reserved themselves for
this pFening. We shall be curious to see
which o the Noble Tories will select Lord
f
PLUNKETT for an antagonist in the new arena,
where he appears far the first time, Even though
be he 44 OraogemFi, we shall sympathize with
the m40'10;144 viptim, and only hope that-
he may not come over to a belief in Purgatory,
whilst writhing under the inevitable castigation,.

EEL gave unequivocal testi-
atT happy to perceive by the debate of
last night that Nr, P
mony of the feeling in which the conduct of the
Usurper, DON MIGUEL) is he14)1101, Pnly iu this
country but in the British Cabinet. It appears
that Lord BERESFORP, the gallant Portuguese
General, had been writing ietterS of condolence,
if not encouragement to the old QUEEN, tell-
ing her to persevere in the good work of
bigotry and rebellion, and that the knowledge
of such letters having come to this country,
Mr. DAVENPORT put some bard questions
to Mr. PEEL last night upon the sub-
ject. Mr. PEEL answered the queries in a
most unreserved and satisfactory manner ; not
only disavowing the sentiments conveyed in the
correspondence, but reprQbating the acts of

~~s- ~.

mut t. as a tissue of usurpation and ingratitude.
We think this spirited conduct highly honour-
able to the Right Hon. Gentleman.

The French Papers contain no further news
froin the theatre of war. The reported battle
near Silistria is now believed to have been got
up for stock-jobbing purposes.

Hamburgh Papers of the 7th inst. have been
received this morning ; they contain news from
Constantinople of the same date as that received
yesterday, viz. the 11th of May,. and confirm, in
a great measure, the report that the SULTAN now
begins to waver as the clay of trial draws near.
He now finds that the niajority of the people
and of the great men of the Empire, as well
as the Grand Vizier, hUSNEY BEY, and
the REIS EFFENDI, give unequivocal symptoms
that no diversion will be made by the Great
Powers in favour of the SULTAN, whose spirit
seems to be subdued by the universal apprehen-
sion of-the nation. The REIS EFFENDI is
now all .for peace, but he has no Amlbassa-
sadors to entertain his pacific views. In this
dilemma he has proposed to the Ambas-
sador of the Netherlands to interfere, but he not
b

leing a party to.the Treaty of London, despatched
couriers to the Allied Admirals.on the subject.
In the mean time the. SULTAN was
re-
ceiving grand entertainments from the PACHAS
and: other dignitaries of the empire, and was, in
one .of them, very .nearly falling a sacrifice to
the watchful vengeance of the Janissaries, a body
of whom had contrived in secret to enter the place
of entertainment, but owing to the activity of the
police, they were all seized, and, no doubt,
strangled in private, 'as no tidings of their fate
had since transpired

VANOVER, MAY 31..

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and his
family removed yesterday to the Palace of Montbrillant,
for the summer.

CONSTVANTINOPLE, MAY 11.
The alarming news from Moldavia and Wallachia—the
general situation of the empire, as well as the sentiments
of the .1./lemas.--of the majority of the people, and of the
great men of the empire ; and lastly, the united representa-
tion of the Grand Vizier, of Hustiey Bey, and of the Reis
Effendi, which last changed his language a fortnight ago;
and besides all this, the equivocal conduct of some of the,
Padres now here, and the apprehension that no diversion
will be made by the European Powers, have at length
subdued the warlike spirit of the Sultan. The Reis
Effendi has intimated to Baron d'Ottenfels, that the Porte
is disposed to negotiate on the basis of the convention of the
Treaty of Akerman. At th 4 same time a similar commu-
nication was made to the Ambassador of the Netherlands, in
which the Porte still more positively engaged to accept the
convention of the 6th of July, and to fulfil the Treaty of
Akerman. Both Ministers have despatched couriers, the
first to Vienna, the second to Smyrna, in order to acquaint
the Admirals of the Allied squadrons with the altered state
of affairs, which has caused the greatest joy at Pera. It is
to be observed that no Russian Manifesto has been officially
received here up to this day, and that this important conces-
sion to avert the impending crisis appears to be the last
means of safety for the Porte. It will be remembered that
the official letter of Count Nesselrode to the Grand Vizier,
dated the 26th of April; announced that if Turkish nego-
tiators should arrive in the camp, the operations of the
army would not be suspended on that account.
The reforms, the building of barracks, colleges, manufac-
tories, and palaces, continue with great activity, and the
Paellas now here, many of whom it is known declined
commands in the army, are successively giving grandinter•
tainments in honour of the Sultan. The Sultan is still
engaged in his military exercises.
(FROM ANOTHER LETTER.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 12.

The Reis Effendi, in conferences which be had with M.
de Kanitz and the Atubai.sador of the Netherlands together,
and with the Austrian Internuncio, Baron d' Ottenfels, se-
parately, has declared that the Porte will fulfil the Treaty
of Akerman, the terms of which are ♦ery hard, partien-
lady with respect to the affairs of Servia, and negociate on
the basis of the convention of the 6th of July, 1827. It
is mentioned as a principal motive for this change, that
500 Janissaries had been watching in one of the islands
near the capital, to be ready in case of any crisis to raise
the standard of rebellion. Fortunately the whole of them
were taken prisoners.
The Sultan is gone to the summer palace of Beschiktasch,
to which the harem had removed on the 6th.
The departure of the Mufti is ascribed to his having op-
posed the introduction of the European hats for the Spahis.
CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 10.

The fears of an approaching war with Russia have
considerably diminished within this fortnight. As the ac-
counts from the principalities made nu mention of the
movements of the Russian troops, as no new measures of
security were taken here, and no considerable addition to
the means of defence was to be seen ; lastly, as the forma-
tion of a camp at Daud Pacha had not taken place, and
the Seraskier Hussein Pacha is not gone to the army, the
hopes that peace would be maintained could not fail to
gain ground among the public. The conduct of the Sul-
tan and his Ministers contributed to them. The Sultan
shows himself to the people more frequently than ever, at
the head of his troops, attends their military exercises, di-
rects in person the nunwuvres of the infantry and cavalry,
and meantime took part in numerous fetes and diversions,
which did not seem to indicate the approach of a serious
war. Thus, on the Ist of May, he went to Italky, one of
the islands in the sett of Marmora, on which no Otto-
man Sovereign has set foot within the memory of man,
and where the Capitan Pacha had prepared an entertain-
ment for him, at which the Grand Vizir, the Seraskier
Chosrew and Hussein, and the Vice-Admiral Tahir Pacha,
were present. Ile ♦isited the Greek converts on the
island, and gave each a present of 500 piastres. At night,
an old unserviceable man-of-war was burnt, in order to
give the Sultan a notion of the effect of a fire-ship.'
The convention with the Servians is nearly concluded.
The return of a courier sent to Prince Milosch is daily ex-
pected, and the publication of a firman which will regulate
the future relations of Servia according to the stipulations
of the Treaty of Akerman.

BUCHAREST, MAY IS.
It is generally affirmed leers that the Hospodar will soon
come back, and then go to Russia like Prince Stourdza.
'The passage of the Russian troops through this city conti
nues, and the Emperor Nicholas is expected here on the
27th. We have no news from the Danube.
FRANKFORT, MAY 30.
In the Sitting of the Diet, on the Nth inst., the Presi-
dent communicated a note from Baron Anstell, the Rus-
sian Minister, with various documents accompanying it--
such as the manifesto and declaration of Russia, Count
Wittgenstein's proclamation, and Count Nesselrode's letter
of the 26th April. The Minister observed on the ntodera•
tion displayed by his Imperial Master, and stated that his
mode of proceeding- is fully approved by Great Britain,
France, Austria, and Prussia; so that there was not the
shadow of a reason for apprehending a general war in F,ll-
- on this account. .

An Italian Journal of the 22d May says,
that the Greeks, under General CHURCH, had
been completely defeated in the environs of iVlis-
solonghi, by a body of Turks, with the loss of
1,200 men, besides camp, provisions, &c.
CORFU, MAY 11.
General Church has been attacked in the environs of
Missolongla and Anatolie° by a body of Turks, and, whe-
ther from the disparity of force or fromthe surprise, the
Greeks were defeated, with the loss of 1,200 men, and
abandoned their camp, their positions, and provisions, re-
treating to Dragomestre. The Turks had also many killed
and wounded.

Calcutta Papers of the 14th January, mention
that a meeting of the Committee of the British
Inhabitants was to take place, at the Town-hall,
that day, for the purpose of erecting a Statue
and Monument in honour and in memory of the
late iVlarquis of HASTINGS, and to concert

la k

measures for fixing the site and commencing the
work without delay.

They write from Grenoble that the garrison is
to be considerably augmented. This measure is
owing to the report of the two fortresses, one in
Piedmont and the other in Savoy, going to receive
an Austrian garrison.

A letter from Monte Vide., of the 18th of
March, states, that on the 15th arrived at Monte
Video the English corvette Heron, having on
board an Envoy from the Republic. This ship
immediately sailed for Rio, and it was stated thas
the Buenos Ayrean Envoy was the bearer of the
treaty signed with the Brazils.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(Tlfri DAY.)

VICF.LCHANCELLOR'S COURT.
Nothing of interest occurred in this Court to-day.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

THE XING V. THE MAYOR AND MAGISTRATES OF

NORTHAMPTON.

This was a rule for a criminal information against the
Mayor and Magistrates of Northaropton, for refusing to
grant a certiorari for the removal of a case from trial in
the town of Northampton, in which two persons, named
Hawes and Wykie, were defendants.
It will be remembered that a case was argued yesterday
in which an application was made on behalf of the Magi-
strates of Northampton, to grant a criminal information
against Mr. Cook, the solicitor of Messrs. Hawes and
Wykie, for a libel published in the Times.
Wherr the ease was called on this morning, Lord MT-
TERDEN said, that whilst he sat at Nisi Prins yesterday,
his Learned Brothers bad looked into the affidavits, . and
upon conversing together, the Court had come to the de-
termination to discharge the rule argued yesterday, and
this rule, the parties on both sides paying their own costs.
Sir JAMES SCAELETT said he had made an offer to this
effect to his Learned Friend, the Solicitor-General, yes-
terday.
Lord TENTERDEN said, the Court were anxious to ab-
stain from offering any opinion on the subject, in order
that neither party might have a triumph.
Both the rules were diacharged Without costs.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF 'MASI V. ROBESON AND THWAITES.

Mr. Sergeant TADDY moved for a rule to show cause
why an arrest of judgment in this case, which was an ac-
tion for libel against the defendants, tried at the last sit-
tings at Westminster, should not be issued. The ground
of the application was, that none of the allegations were
sufficiently expressed or supported in the libel to
warrant, the inuendos upon which the verdict was
found by the Jury. The publication alleged no-
thing injurious' to the character of the plaintiff,
,for it only went to say, thatle did that which the law of
Ireland sanctioned, for by that law a Catholic c:ergynian
changing his religion was entitled to 401. per annum, until
provision could be made for him in the Church of Ireland.
• The CHIEF JUSTICE, bit giving the opinion of the Court
against the rule, said that it contained a most gross accu-
sation against the Archbishop, for if that Reverend Pre-
late had been guilty of that which was imputed
to him, he was no longer worthy of holding
the high office which he held in the church. If his zeal
for the church induced him to act with such gross immo-
rality, all he should say was,• God forbid that such zealots
should fill offices upon which such conduct could reflect
nothing but diicredit. The law of Ireland, if it had ob-
tained for one thousand years, could not change the cha-
racter, even if it, sanctioned such namorality—but it did
not. It only said that a clergyman, conscientiously chang-
ing his religion, should not be permitted to starve, and
40/. per annum was apportioned to h►s maintenance—a sum
which could not be supposed to operate as a bribe, • fey be
could certainly make more by r►'maining in his own per-
suasion.—Rule refused.

We understand that during the Archbishop
of Tnant's speech last night, in the Lurch', strangers below
the Bar we e so indecoroui as to indulge in repeated bursts
of laughter, which excited the attention of their Lordships,to
such a degree that Lord KRNYoN came to the front of the
Bar, and informed strangers, 'that if they did not behave
Wore respectfully, they slumild be compelled to withdraw.
Although the expulsion of Mr. HusKlssoN
from office, and the resignation of his friends, is in itself a
matter of great importance, inasmuch as it deprives the
country of the services of the only enlightened and liberal
Members of the Administration, the manner: in crhiebtl4
vacancies occasioned by their retirement have been filled up
renders it doubly unfortunate. In the place of Mr. Hus-
xissox, Lord Pat.bintsrort, the Earl of DunExr, and
CHARLIS GRANT; we have General Sir GEORGE
MURRAY and Lord Lowest/a—a soldier and a borough-
monger—introduced into the Administration. Well may
the Ultra-Tories be in ecetacies, and well may the friends
of their country be filled with consternation. Those who
think that the end of Government is the aggrandisement
of the, Aristocracy—who consider the many as made to
toil for the advantage of the few,;--who'are willing to sup-
port any Government in oppressing the, people, on condi-
tion that they may be allowed to plunder them with im-
punity—who hate liberality and 'conciliation, because they
strike at the root of influence and corruption,' and because
they raise men of talent and knowledge to power, while
they reduce the mean and subservient to insignificance—all
such have, indeed, ample cause for rejoicing at the late
changes.—Leeds Mercury.
The following occurrence should prove a
caution to our readers, as by it is discovered a cause of real
„danger from a source which would hardly be suspected.
Xesterday morning, the family of Mr. SHEPHERD, of G illy-
gate, near York, were alarmed by a smell of fire, and know-
irtg that there had been none in the house since the previous
night, they proceeded to inquire into the cause. On two
of the family of Mr. SHEPHERD going up stairs, they
observed in the lodging-roost window a basin and ewer,
and over them were laid two towels ; at a little distance was
placed a globular glass bottle filled with water, in which a
bouquet of floweis had been placed. The rays of the sun
had been concentrated into a focus by the water and the
globe of glass, and thus conducted with all their force upon
the towels, in which a large hole was actually burnt, and at
the time of entering the room they were in flames. Had
this timely discovery not been made, the house might have
fallen a sacrifice to the deVouring element.— York Herald.

At Marlborough-street Police Office, yester-
day, an elderly man, nnmed CHARLES BLASIE, a shop-
keeper in Chelsea, was brought before Mr. Roy, on the
following singular charge of bigamy :—lt was stated in
evidence, that between nine and ten years ago be married
a respectable female, named JANE Lowe, having pre-
viously been united to another woman, who died about the
period of the prisoner's second marriage: On the I tith of
June, 1824, the prisoner led a young woman, named SARAH
Mmts, to the altar, at St. George's, Ilanover-square, but it
appeared that he remained with this wife only twenty-four
hours, articles of separation having been drawn up by a
broker, and the affair was " compromised," to use the words
of one of the parties, on the prisoner presenting SARAH
Dimes with five sovereigns, and she consented to live apart
front him, at her friend's in Little College-street. The
prisoner contemplated entering into the holy bonds of wed-
lock a third time, having brought a young woman into his
house last week, whom he intended to marry, and becauSe
his first wife would not consent to be a party in the dis-
graceful proceeding, he threatened to murder her, and she
applied for a peace warrant against hint. The second wife
then became acquainted with the circumstance of his being
a married man, and she proceeded against him for bigamy.
The prisoner unhesitatingly admitted having deceived the
young woman, and he was remanded to procure legal evi-
dence of both the marriages.

THE MURDER AT POLSTEAD.--011 Sunday
an immense assemblage of persons collected in the Red
Barn, the scene of the murder of MARIA MARTIN, at
Poistead, in consequence of the announcement of the inteu-
tion of the Rev. Mr. WHITMORE, the Rector of the parish,
to preach there.—The Rev. Gentleman, at the usual time
of divine service, arrived at the barn, and delivered 'a very
impressive discourse to the numerous audience whom the
novelty of the scene had drawn together. He dwelt forcibly
and at much length on the mysterious mode in which the
murder had been detected, and deduced from it the instru-
mentality of Providence in the transaction. The parents
of the unfortunate MARIA were both present.

A scene of some novelty took place in Salis-
bury on Sunday last, when the Ranters, who call them •
selves Primitive Methodists, held a camp meeting, assist-
ed
byiinumber of Bryanites, from Shaftesbury. They
marched in procession from their Chapel, in Iligh-street
(the place lately used for empirical attempts to expound
the theology of the celebrated EMI N UEL SWEDE/48013EG )o
singing hymns through the city, and followed by a vast
concourse, led by curiosity to witness the fanaticism of these
people. On arriving at the field consecrated for exhibit•
" Lord, come
ing in, the Shaftesbury and Salisbury folks separated into
two parties : three carts had been placed in the middle of
the field for the accommodation of the preachers. The
manoeuvres of the saints, which were really curious, were

ference of some drunken fellows, who were carousing them-
selves at the public house adjoining. A collection was made

which amounted to 3e. Sid.
