LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1628.

WARLIKE INTERVENTION.
The French Papers;ivhich had been delayed by
strong Contrary winds, have at length arrived, with
an accumulation of important news. In the first
place, a very decided improvement has taken place
in the French Ministry by the accession of two libe-
ral members to the Cabinet, in the persons of HYDF.
DE NEtIYILLE, who succeeds to the Department
of the Marine and Colonies in the place of
count de efIAHROL, , and the Sicur
,rgatt, Bishop of Beauvais, who takes the de-
partment of Ecclesiastical Affairs, in the room
of Count FnaYssiNous, Bishop of Herniopolis.:—
These changes complete the exclusion of 'all
LELE's friends from the Council of Ministers.
But the most important news is the determina-
tion of the Allied Courts, to support their declara-
tion for the emancipation of Greece, by force of
arms. The French Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs in the Secret Committee of the Cham-
ber of Deputies, on Wednesday last, made
a long repose of the relations now sub, sting

between the Allies and the Porte. Its duplicity
and equivocation, mingled as they have been with
bombast and defiance, have at length convinced the
Allies that forbearance has been thrown away upon
the Porte. So long as negociation could be of any
use, for the purpose of delay, the SULTAN
had abundantly availed himself of it by all
the evasive acts for which the Ottomans are noto-
rious—even the battle of Navarin:though it crippled
his maritime power, yet it did not teach him either wis-
dom or moderation,and so soon as theAmbassadon3 had
quitted Constantinople, he thought that the game
would. be all his own way, on the supposition that
the Allies would not coalesce in warlike operations.
But he will find himself mistaken. By the arrival °fate
Jlfoniteur of Thursday, and the Gazette de Fiance
of yesterday's date, by express, it appears that an
expedition of ten thousand French Infantry, and one
Regiment of Cavalry is to proceed with all
despatch for Greece. Six thousand of these troops
are to sail from Toulon, and four thousand from
Cadiz, and they are to be reinforced by six thousand
English troops, from Lisbon and other places. The
French are to be commanded by the Duke of
RAGUSA. and General LovERDA, besides two Major-
Generals. The immediate port of destination is not
mentioned, but we have no doubt that in the first
instance the troops will rendezvous at Napoli di
Romania, the seat of the Greek Governn•,ent,
or at any other more convenient place. The
evacuation of the Morea, if it do not instantly
take place, will be accelerated by the arrival of the
combined forces of England and France. Thus the
PORTE will at last see that the Allied Powers are
really in earnest,and we should not be surprised to hear
the tone of the SULTAN lowered before the first of
May, as much as it was during the winter in
the ascendant. The Turks may make all the pre-
parations they please, but their power, both
military and naval, will vanish like chaff before the
wind, when the Allied fleets and armies proceed in
battle array. •
Count CAPO DISTRIA has entered upon his func-
tions of Government with spirit and decision, pro-
portionate to the great trust reposed in him. His
first act has been to request the English and
French squadrons to attack the strong hold of the
pirates at Carabusa, where forty of their vessels have
been destroyed, and the place taken.
.We regret to learn that his Majesty's frigate
Cambrian, Commodore HAMILTON'S ship, has been
wrecked, but the crew have been all saved.—
This ship had been for several years up the Archi-
pelago.
The Turkish Squadron, from Constantinople,
which was to hhve conveyed troops for the relief of
Scio, has been compelled to put back, by order of
the Allied Admirals. The following are extracts :--

The Moniteur contains, in two columns, the explana-
tion given by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in the Se -
cret Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, on the sth of
March, 'lB2B. The greater part of it relates to the affairs
of the East. Ile says that it was on the 19th of February
that the Government received the Turkish Manifesto,
which, while it seems to destroy all hopes of reconciliation,
justifies the expectations that bad been entertained, since
the Porte confesses that it has been endeavouring to de-
ceive Europe, by feigned promises. The Three Courts are
at this moment concerting what relations this new state of
things render necessary. He declares that the Ministers of
France are most solicitous both to preserve the peace of
Europe and to maintain the honour of France.
The Treaty signed by the Three Courts still subsists.—
All the executory measures may and must refer to it.—
Meantime France will be faithful to hereelf, and will main-
tain her rank in every situation. •

PARIS, MARcu 6.—We have receivol a letter from
Vienna, by Express, which says that the general subject of
conversation in that capital is a letter which M. d'Otten-
fels is said to have written to Prince Metternich, to ask
leave of absence. _ _

Information has also beefs received from Odessa, that
the Russian Government bad prohibited the exportation of
corn and wine, and had freighted for conveyance of troops
and ammunition '77 merchant vessels, among which are
22 Austrian ships, hired for six months, to convey troops,
&c. to Starna and Niara, in the Black Sea. The Flo-
rence Gazette announces, that Count Capo d'lstria has
gone from Egina to Hydra. We have spoken of a body
of troops assembling at Toulon for an expedition. The
following are the authentic particulars which we have
collected on the subject :—Six thousand infantry will
be assembled at Toulon, and reinforced by 4,000
men from Cadiz ; they will be commanded, it it said,
Ly the Marshal Duke of Ragusa, having under him
the Count de Loverdo, and two Major-Generals. A
regiment of cavalry will make part of ths expedition, and
it is said that 6,000 English troops, under a Lieutenant-
General, will act in concert with the French. Count Sal-
perwick, C..Jlonel of the 6th Regiment, who was at Paris
on leave, has received orders to join his Regiment, which is
to make part of this expedition.
Our Correspondent at Paris sends us the copy of a letter
from Trieste, of 26th February, to a Member of the Greek
Committee, which says—
We learn by a vessel, in seven days frora Syra, that Count
Capo d'lstria has arrived at Napoli and at Egiva, where
lie entered on his office, by purifying the Government, and
has taken the oath. At his request, the French and En.,
glish squadrons have attacked Carabusa, the chief retreat
of Greek pirates; 40 of their vessels were destroyed, and
the place taken. The Cambrian, Captain Hamilton, is
shipwrecked ; the crew Saved. The Greek brig, com-
manded by Lord Cochrane's nephew, has been wrecked
off Scio.

The Turkish squadron from Constantinople, which was
intended to convey troops to Scio, has put hack, on re-
ceiving a❑ intimation from the Allied Admirals.

We have received this morning the following ac-
counts, by the arrival of two French mails :
Accounts from Vienna, of the 24th February, state that
all hopes had vanished as regarded the maintenance of
peace ; and it was feared that M. Ottenfels had not suffi-
cient power to protect the property and lives of the Franks
who still remained at Constantinople. M. Ottenfels, it is
said, has threatened the Reis Effendi that he would quit
the al,ove capital.

Accounts from Barcelona of the 24th February, mention
that the King will be still detained from proceeding to his
capital, and that his journey has been put off. The pro-
vince of Catalonia is iu an apparent state of tranquillity, but
no reliance can be placed ou its continuance.
The evacuatioa of Spain is determined on, and already
the Spanish troops are on their march to replace the French
at Cadiz,
The sending of French troops to Greece is decided on ;
ive irgiments of infantry and three of cavalry, are ordered
for that service.

SMYRNA, JAN. "t2.—All remains quiet here. The
Pacha proceeds in person every night round the town at
the head of patroles. The garrison is comp of nearly
seven thousand men. The preparations for comp
are im-
mense : Ivithin a few days, six hundred camels have ar-
rived here, laden with ammunition of all descilptiont.
PARIS, AlAttou 4.—R is reported en 'Change to-day,
that letters have been received from St. Petersburgh, with
accounts that orders had been sent off for the Russians to
pass the Pruth ; but we cannot guarantee this information.
accounts that the
G rLanetdter;eifgrnoomr
hCnsaosbuteenntinoobpl
ilgeedb it•oiug relinquish the idea of
erecting a fortified palace at Adrianople, by the want of
money, where he is determined to retire should Constanti•
nople be under a siege.
It is now looked upon as certain, that an attack will be
made o* Algiers by laud, and that Marshal Soult will
command the expedition.
VIENNA, FEB. Q 4.—The attitude of Russia daily be-
comes more serious ; no accounts have as yet been received
of the army of Bessarabia having passed the frontiers, but
hostilities are expected to take place immediately. Another
circumstance which causes serious alarm to our Cuurt,
is the warlike preparations in Poland.

FORTIFYING CONSTANTINOPLE.

CONSTANTINOPI.rj Ffit.t.),,,-Strong batteries are ereel

ing, Ara fortifications aro constructing round the capital.
Two sail of the line of 64 guns, and several large frigates,
are cruizing in the Black Sea, to prevent any attack by the
Russian fleet.

Despatches were this morning received at the Fo-
reign Office from our Ambassadors at Paris and
Vienna, but the nature of their contents has not
transpired.

Letters received via France, by express, from
Frankfort, of the 29th.ultirno, notice a considerable
fall in the price of the Metallipes to 881, being a
fall of 1 to 1 per cent.

The extraordinary assumption of power, on the
part of the House of Commons, has been long
viewed with an astonishing apathy, or whilst a
cosistitutioaal jealousy of the Executive is displayed
on every occasion which can afford the slightest
grounds for: suspicion, we do verily believe, that
the people of England would cheerfully submit to
be hanged or guillotined on the SPEAKER'S announc-•
ing, in his deep sonorous tones, that the " Ayes
had it." Their submission would equal that `which
an amiable spouse inculcated on the Highland caitiff,
whom his Chief had sentenced to death. " Now,
my dear," said the chivalrous dame, " go out de-
cently, and be hanged pleasantly, and dinna anger
the laird."
It must be familiar to our readers, that that august
Assembly entertain a thorough contempt for the
rules of evidence which regulate the Courts of Law;
and that their inquisitorial power could force the em-
barrassed merchaut, or the blushing maiden, to ex-
plain the most delicate particulars of their private
life, under the penalty of immediate consignment to
the dungeons of his Majesty's gaol of Newgate. It
is useless to talk of the laws of the land—the order
of one branch of the Legislature is sufficient to de-
prive any of us of liberty, and for aught we know of
life itself. For we should like to ask whether any
gentleman, without being extremely nervous, would
feel himself perfectly easy about his neck, if sent to
Newgate with the SPEAKER'S warrant, that he be
hanged next morning ? He would be safer, we
suspect, in one of the Seven Towers of Constan-
tinople.
Fortunately, however, to cheek the growth of this
undefined, unlimited authority, one of the " five
hundred" occasionally comes under its influence,
and such a circumstance opens their eyes to its mon- -
strous nature. Thus an Hon. Member for some
nights past, has of course assisted in •ordering up
witnesses to the bar, conducting their exami-
nation, and visiting with severe punishment
their objection to disclose the political history
of the free and independent Berough of East
Retford ; but the moment that a brother in-
quisitor proposes placing the Honourable Mem,
her himself at the Bar, with reiterated and plaintive
protestations of dislike, he throws himself on his
privilege, which embraces, as he maintains, the
" suppresio yeti."
It may be said that absolute power must be
lodged somewhere in every country, bnt none can
doubt that our Constitution places it in the three
Estates of Parliament, King, Lords, and Com-
mons, and not in the hands of any of the
three; or it may be asserted, that the exercise
of arbitrary power on the part of the Coin.
mons, has often led to very happy results. So,
we presume, the press-yard or the thumb-screws of
old have detected treasons, and saved the State.
But as no one could be found to advocate these
atrocities in our day, if a single instance could pay off
the National Debt, so the House of Commons ought
to consider that no object is desirable which cannot
be attained by constitutional means, and that the
higher the power with which their constituents have
invested them, the more careful should they be in
exercising it, so as not to affect the rights and privi.
leges of those who have entrusted them with it.
We shall rejoice to see the Borough of East Ret-
ford receive the just reward of its corruption, and
the franchise transferred to the great and populous
town: of -Birmingham,l as from Penryn, to the
no less important town of .Manchester—the prin-
ciple being replete with security to the Constitution,
in substituting renovation for the dangers of innova-
tion. But such advantage would be dearly bought,
if purchaSed by the exercise of authority assumed
by one-third of the Legislature, from which, like
the Clergy of old, they claim exemption for their
own order. The makers of laws should surely be
the last to object to their operation.

Our City Correspondent says, " We hear that a
copper coinage, which had been sent out for the use
of the lonian Islands, and found on its arrival to be
incorrect in the intended value, has been returned to
this country in a Norwegian vessel ir. the place of a
British bottom. If this is not carrying the principle
of free trade into practice with a vengeance, we
know not what is. The vessel in question is now
in the Fiver Thames, and the value of the coinage
in question is somewhat about 150,0001."

Letters from Alexandria, of the I6th Jan., state
that the PACHA was busily employed in fitting out
the fleet to carry fresh reinforcements to the Morel',
and it was expected would be ready.to sail in a day
or two.

German Papers have been received this morning,
by which it appears that great apprehensions are en-
tertained in the Principalities that the Russians
would cross the Pruth. This, though it has not yet
taken place, is not at all improbable, if the PORTE
persists in interrupting the trade of the Black Sea,
by which all the resources of the Southern provinces
of Russia are rendered useless

VIENNA, FEY. 25.
Letters from Corfu of Feb. 5, say—
" The Wolf corvette arrived here this morning, and a
salute of artillery immediately announced the return of the
Lord High Commissioner (Sir F. Adam) from his late
voyage. Mr. E. Baynes, his Secretary, has not returned
with him, and is said to have gone to Egina, or, as others
say, to Alexandria.
" According to a Latter from Zante, of the Ist inst.,
Gen. Adam arrived there on the 30th Jan., but did not
laud. In a few days the Wolf, on board which he was,
put to sea with two English and one Russian vessel, and
steered towards Modon. It is thought that Sir F. Adam
has been to Modoti, and had an interview with Ibrahim
Paella, and that Mr. Baynes went from Modon to
Egina
,(or Alexandria.) The Sonheisn, a Russian
transport, arrived here yesterday in one day from Zante,
with six persons belonging to the Russian Legation at
Constantinople.
A vessel which arrived at Zante on the 28th Jan. in
seven days from Syra, brought word that in a violent
storm in the Archipelago ten merchantmen had perished,
and that Lord Cochrane's brig had been cast on shore near
Scio. The Karteria steam-boat arrived at Zante on the
31 st January.

CORFU, FEB. 6.
Mercantile letters from Alexandria affirm that the Sultan
has given to the Pucka of Egypt the command of all the
troops in Asia, and conferred on him the post which he
had long desired, of Governor of Syria. The same letters
say that Ibrahim Paella is to have the command of all the
troops in Romelia. The number of troops to be assembled
in Asia will amount, it is said, to 200,000 men, and that in
Europe not inferior.

TRIESTE, FEB. 22.
TLe Russian frigate, with M. de Ribeaupierre nn hoard,

arrived here last night, after a dangereug voyage; The des-
patches sent to meet him missed him, and he did not know
till he had arrived that he was to return to join his col-
leagues
at Corfu, whither it is supposed he will soon return.
FROM THE FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, FEB. 14.
According to all the accounts from the Principalities,
the greatest apprehensions are entertained there respecting
approaching events. The entrance of the Rniaians -is
feared, who for these three weeeks past have been impa-
tiently waiting for orders to pass the Pruth. On the pr,r4 of
the Turks the soldiers are indeed strictly probibited tipas.s
the Danube, but the 13eschii Aga go through the Princi-
palities and take all the horses they can find ; 4000 have
been carried away from Moldavia. 4ecording to accounts

THE FUNDS,(THIS IMY),

CITY, TWELIS I' GLOCK.

At the close of the hours of business yesterday Consols
were 81+ y, but business was done in the Alley afterwards
at 841 -A,. This morning the first price was 841, but im-
mcdiately afterwards dropped to 83-T, and some sales made
afterwards depressed theM still fader to 83i sellers. A
pretty considerable lot having been purchased by the Chan-
cery Broker for Tuesday, at 83/, gave a little strength to
the market, and they now stand at 833 the pike. India
Bonds are 89 91 ; and Exchequer Bills, 59 60, ntem.
In the Foreign Sef.urities, aTe depressed,
in consequence of a report said to Le received via Bordeaux,
of a general revolt in Mexico, and the defeat of the force
sent to suppress the insurrectica ; it is right to state that
this rumour is not believed by those persons who are sup-
posed to be well informed ; it has had, however, the effect
of reducing the price from 843 5 to 314 I. Some ex-
tensive sales of Brazil Bonds have caused a heaviness to at-
tend secnrity;. as well as P4;azisn, the former being
63+ 3 the latter, 89i 90 ; second edition of thellorn-
hag Papers announcing an expedition of British and French
troops to Greece, has caused a little stir in the Greek
market at present ; nothing is done, and the nominal price
is 16 18. There is nothing new to report in the share
specnlations.

Ily the port letters, reetived this morning qt Lloyd's, it
appears that his .Majesty's brig Falcon has arrived at Fal-
mouth, in 11 days, with despatches, which were imme-
diately kept of express to the Capital. The French Funds

LAW INTELLIOENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

The LORD CliAxcELt.ou. sat at half-past ten o'clock.
To-day and Monday were appointed for hearing motions.
Before say motions ware moved, several matters in lu-
nacy were mentioned and disposed of as matters of course.
IN TI)‘E MATTER O' IREDALE, A LUNATIC.

Mr. TniTLE applied in this matter, on the part of a
Mr. Artist, for an order on Mr. Branson], the Com-
mittee of the lunatic, calling upon him to execute a con-
veyance of the lunatic's real estate within four days
after notice of the .sorder, or that he might stand
committed. A year ago an order by the Court was made,
that the lunatic's real estate at Doncaster should be sold.
The Master approved of Mr. Artist as the purchaser, at
the sum of 2,3501., and subsequently settled the convey-
ance. An order was thereupon made that the pur-
chaser should be let into possession last Lady -day,
and that the money should be paid into Court. This all
took place : but in December last, when the conveyance
was tendered to Mr. Branson] for execution, he refused.
Hence the present application

Mr. PE3iBERTON was heard on the other side.
After which, the Lon.. CHANCELLOR said, that under
the circumstances he ihould order the matter to stand over
till the General Lunatic Petition day.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
THE ATTORNEY-CENERA L V. BIRNIE, &c.

This was an information filed by the Attorney-General
against the defendants, respecting the Scotch chapel in
Swallow-street. An order had been obtained by the 4le-
fendants to have the bill taken off the file, for want of pro-
secution.

Mr. Sunnax now moved that the order in question
might he discharged, which, after a few words from Mr.
Horne, who appeared for the defendants, was assented to.
