COMMUTATION OF TITHES.

Mr. GREENE rose, pursuant to notice, to move
for leave to bring in a Bill to enable Rectors and
Parishioners to commute for corn rents the tithes
within their respective parishes. The Hon. Gentle-
man said, that the subject to which he was about
to call the attention of the. House was one of very
great importance. The experiment, however, was
tried before, and had been found to answer; and he
did not desire now to press the Legislature for its
interference until every Hon. Member had an op-
portunity of being satisfied with the advantages
which would accrue from the measure which was
proposed, which would enable parishes to effect, at
a small expense, that which they were now enabled
to do by private bills, at a very heavy expense.
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
Sir J. NEWPORT gave notice, that on an early
day he should bring forward a motion on the subject
of the Irish Court of Chancery.
Sir ALEX. GRANT brought up the Report of
the Committee on the Expiring and Expired Laws,
which was laid on the table.

The lioute adjourned at Five o'clock to Mon-

PROTOCOL RELATIVE TO THE AFFAIRS
OF GREECE,
SIGNED AT ST. rETERSIIIIIIGII, AralL I, 1826.

PIMSENTED TO BOTH HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT
EY COMMAND OF HIS MAJESTY, 1828.

His Britannic Majesty having been requested by
the Greeks to interpose his good offices, in order
to obtain their reconciliation with the Ottoman
Porte—having, in consequence, offered his mediation,
to that Power, and being desirous of concerting the
measures of his. Government, upon this subject, with
his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias ; and
his Imperial Majesty, on the other band, being
equally animated by the desire of putting an end to
the contest of which Greece and the Archipelago
are the theatre, by an arrangement, which shall be
consistent with the principles of religion, justice, and
humanity;
The undersigned have agreed :-
1. That the arrangement to be proposed to the Porte,
if that Government should accept the proffered media-
tion, should have for its object to place the Greeks towards
the Ottoman Porte in the relation hereafter-mentioned.:_

Greece should be a dependency of that Empire, and the
Greeks should pay to the Porte an annual tribute, the
amount of which should be permanently fixed by common
consent. They should be exclusively governed by Autho-
rities to be chosen and- named by themselves, but in the
nomination of which Authorities the Porte should have a
certain influence•

In this state, the Greeks should enjoy a complete liberty
of conscience, entire freedom of commerce, and should, ex-
clusively, conduct their own internal Government.
In order to effect a complete separation between indi-
duals of the two nations, and to prevent the collisions which
must be the necessary consequences of a contest of such
duration, the Greeks should, purchase the property of the
Turks, whether situated on the Continent of Greece, or
in the islands.

2. In case the principle of a mediation between Turks
and Greeks should have been admitted, is consequence of
the steps taken, with that view, by his Britannic Majesty's
Ambassador at Constantinople, his Imperial Majesty would
exert, in every case, his influence to forward the object of
that mediation. The mode in which, and the time at
which, his Imperial Majesty should take part in the ulte-
terior negotiations with the Ottoman Porte, which may
be the consequence of that mediation, should be determined
hereafter by the common consent of the Governments of
his Britannic Majesty and his Imperial Majesty.
3. If the mediation offered by his Britannic Majesty
should not have been accepted by the Porte, and whatever
may be the nature of the relations between his Imperial
Majesty and the,Turkish Government, his Britannic Ma-
jesty and his Imperial Majesty will still consider the terms
of the arrangement specified in No. 1 of this Protocol, as
the basis of any reconciliation to be effected bytheir inter-
vention, whether in concert or separately, between the
Porte and the Greeks ; and they will avail themselves of
every favourable opportunity to exert their influence with
both parties, in order to effect their reconciliation on the
above-mentioned basis.

4. That his Britannic Majesty and his Imperial Majesty
should reserve to themselves to adopt, hereafter, the mea-
sures necessary for the settlement of the details of the ar-
rangement in question, as well as the limits of the territory
and the names of the islands of the Archipelago to which it
shall be applicable, and it shall be proposed to the Porte
to comprise under the denothination of Greece.
That, moreover, his Britannic Majesty and his Im-
perial Majesty will not seek, in this arrangement, any in-
crease of territory, nor any exclusive influence, nor advan-
tage in commerce for their subjects, which shall not he
equally attainable by all other nations.
6- That his Britannic Majesty and his Imperial Majesty.,
being desirous that their Allies should become parties to
the definitive`arrangements of which this Protocol contains
the outline; will communicate this instrument, confiden-
tially, to the Courts of Vienna, Paris, and Berlin, and will
propose to them that they should, in concert with the Em-
peror of Russia, guarantee the Treaty by which the recon-
ciliation of the Turks and Greeks shall be effected, as his
Britannic Majesty cannot guarantee such a Treaty.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France of Jan. 31.)
Rom, JAN. 30.—We extract the following from
the Augsburgle Gazette :
" The pr.otocol of the conferences on the question
of intervention between. the Ministers of Russia,
France, and England, was finally agreed upon, oil
the 21st of December, and the measures were con-
certed which are to be taken, not to delay the paci-
fication in the East. The following are the stipula-
tions of the new Treaty :
" All the efforts made to induce the Porte to
adopt the intervention of the three Powers having
been fruitless, the Contracting Powers will make use
of the means which are in their power to require with
energy of the Porte to attend at length to the pro-
posals which have been made to it for the goad of
humanity, and for the security of the commerce of
all nations. Though military operations by sea and
by land, says the votocol, may perhaps become ne-
cessary to attain this object, every thing will be done
in the spirit of the Treaty of the 6th of July, and no
one of the Contracting Powers shall have the right,
under any pretext, to seek an aggrandizement of ter-
ritory, or any other advantages whatever. The ex-
penses caused by carrying the .measures into execu-
tion shall be subjected to a common estimation, and
the nature of the indemnities shall be stipulated."

CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 2.--Whoever has atten-
tively followed the negotiations respecting the Greek
question, since the time which preceded the depar-
ture of the Ambassadors, must be convinced that the
Porte has found the line between, the necessity of its
preservation, an attitude full of dignity; and that at
a moment when its continual refnsals made the Am-
bassadors lose their patience, it had contrived, with
an ability which it was not suspected to possess, to
resume the broken thread of the negotiations, and
has lent itself to an arrangement proposed with mo-
deration, but without humbling itself. If it was not
able to produce a favourable result, incompatible per-
haps with the delicate situation of the Ambassadors
and the peculiar constitution of the country, it has
at least gained by vindicating itself from the rf,-
preach of being irreconcileable. It has matte one
step towards a pacific arrangement, and must "now
expect from the wisdom of the Christian Powers
that they will answer to friendly advances to .cele-
brate a feast of reconciliation in the interest of
the European alliance; for all rancour must have
disappeared with the announcement of the victory,
and the vanquished must have acquired a friend, and
even a protector. The Porte is willing to recognize
the Greek islands anti the • Morea ; to grant them
the right of governing themselves; to convert the
capitation tax into a general tribute'; to withdraw
the Turkish troops, and to retain only some for-
tresses in New Greece ; in a word, to approximate
to the Treaty of the 6th of July ; and it must expect
that it will not be repulsed, when it acknowledges
itself morally vanquished. No unfavourable inter-
pretation ought to be put on the conduct of M. de
Ribeaupierre, to whom the Porte had transmitted,
through the Sardinian Envoy, the proposals relative
to Greece some days before his departure, for not
having entered into any negotiation after the depar-
ture of his colleagues, and having considered him-
self,
from that. moment, as absent from Constanti-
nople, and without any diplomatic character. But,
on the other hand, we cannot blame the Porte,
which considered the refusal of the Russian Ambas-
sador to receive its proposals of conciliation as an
unfriendly act, and thought itself obliged to resume
the attitude which it had quitted.
The sentiments of the Allied Sovereigns, who,
doubtless, will not have less regard for the honour
of the Porte than the rights of oppressed humanity
had to expect from them, are a pledge for the main-
tenance of peace; for they must consider the pro-
posals made in the last instance to M. de Ribeau-
pierre as if they had received them, and act in a
spirit favourable to the friendly relations which have
not yet ceased to exist. The. neutral Powers, whose
disinterested views have been constantly manifest in
the course;a these important negotiations, who had
not only to attend to 'the object of these negotia-
tions, but also to remove the prejudices of irritated
minds,—these Powers will certainly continue to em-
ploy their good offices, and will thereby convince
the world that they desire, no less than the parti-
sans of philanthropy, the pacification of Greece
and that they consider no effort as too great—no
means as too expensive--to stop in a truly Chris-
tian manner the effusion of blood, and to establish
on durable foundations the peace of Europe.--Augs-
burgh Gazette.
VIENNA, JAN. 21.—1 t was on the 12th of January
that an English courier brought the supplementary
Treaty concluded on the 21st of .December last, at

Henry Wellesley, though ill, immediately enclosed
the additional Treaty to Prince Metternich.- Three
days afterwards a courier brought the news of the
fall of the English- Ministry which signed this con-

know what effect this circumstance will have on our
affairs.

AND THEIR COMMITTAL IVOR SHOOTING A GAMEKEEPER.
SHUTE, Esq., a Berkshire Magistrate, at the Sunninghill
keeper of G. H. CRUTCHLEY, Esq., of Sunning-Hill Park,
Berks, on Sunday night the 6th of January. During the
examination, so very audacious were some of the poachers,
that they said to TulthEß, (King's evidence against them)
" Corse thee, if we had got a rope round thy neck, with
the end round a brain, we would pull it tight enough to do
thy business." The prisoners were fully committed to
Reading Gaol for trial at the ensuing Assizes. As they
were leaving the inn, some of them hallooed to the crowd,
and pointed to their necks, intimating that they would he
hanged. It appears that some of the gang, on the Thursday
after they were at Mr. CauTcamax's Park, went to Prince
LEOPOLD'S, at Claremont, and beat one of his gamekeepers
dreadfully, and as the man lay senseless on the ground, they
robbed him of his gun, his jacket, and hat. The hat was
afterwards found at a short distance from the place.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1929.
, .

Writs for electing Burgesses to represent the
following places in Parliament, were issued this.
morning from the Crown Office, viz.,. the
Borough of New Woodstock ; Borough of
Cambridge : BoroUgh of Plimpton Earle.

The Election of: a Burgess, to serve Par—
liament for King's Lynn, in the room of Lord
W. BENTINCK, will take place on Monday
next the 4th ingant.

The Election of a Knight, to serve in Par-
liament for Monmouth, in the room of Lord
GRANVILLE SOMERSET, is fixed to take pt
on Tuesday the 12th instant.

The Election of a Burgess, to represent the
University of Oxford in Parliament, vice, the,
Right Honourable R. PEEL, will take place on
Monday next the 4th instant.

Mr. HosicissoN leaves town for Liverpool
at three o'clock this afternoon. The connexion
between the Right Honourable Gentleman and
that great commercial city is highly and mu-
tually creditable, and should of itself put
to silence those prejudiced and ignorant
persons who have the assurance to assert that
the doctrines of Free Trade are the offspring
of rashness and innovation, and are calculated to
bring ruin on the commercial and maritimeh4e-
rests of the nation. We have already heard.
of some great
_Capitalists, who have ,candidly
confessed that the result of tbo,-application,of
those principles to the silk trade, has wrung
from them an unwilling but irresistible assent to
doctrines which they had long regarded -as re-
plete,with ruin to our commerce ; and we hays
no doubt, that the rest of the commercial. world
will soon follow the example of those distill..
guished individuals to whom we have alluded.
