LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1828.

No further particulars have transpired of the
contents of the despatches, announcing the de-
parture of the Allied Ambassadors from Con-
stantinople on the Bth, the receipt of which we
communicated yesterday. Private accounts,
however, from Paris, state that the Ambassadors,
on quitting the Turkish capital, were treated
with all the respect due to their high station.—
It is stated also, in some of the letters, that on

the day preceding their departure, another
attempt was made to detain them by a proposition
on the part of the Turkish Goverment, for grant-
ing a general amnesty to the Greeks : but we

have reason to believe that this statement is in-
correct, and that no disposition to yield had
been shown by the SULTAN or Divan.
The PORTE has exhibited an example of un-
bending firmness—or what may be called obsti-
nacy, which has few parallels, and which will, in

all human probability, ultimately lead to the dis

dua—Eagiapixe, .d the expulsion
of the Ottoman Power from Europe.

Frankfort Papers of the 28th ult. and Brussels
Papers of the 2d inst. have reached us this fore-
noon, from which we make the following
extracts. The Austrian Observer has published
a Note presented in March last by Baron OT-
TENFELS to the PORTE, to induce it to accept
the proposals of the Allied Powers. But after
the inconsistent acts of the Austrian Govern-
ment in respect to this question, the authenti-
city of such a Note may, at this juncture, be
more than questionable :

BRUSSELS, DEC. 29.

The Chamber of Commerce at Amsterdam, has just in-
formed the merchants that the Government has taken new
measures for the protection of the commerce of the
Netherlands in the Mediterranean and the Archipelago.

FRAlsaCroar, DEC. 25.

Letters from Vienna, received to-day, confirm the depar-
ture of the Ambassadors from Constantinople, though the
Austrian Observer does not mention it; they also confirm the
burning of the Greek Fleet, and add, that Lord Cochrane was
brought on board the French Admiral's ship, but was re-
leased, after having pledged his word of honour not to
undertake any thing against the Turks.
It is singular that the Observer of Trieste, of the 18th,
does not mention this news, which gives,' good reason to
doubt its authenticity.

FRANKFORT, DEC. 28.

We have received to-day, by Express, the Austrian
Observer of the 24th. To refute the reports spread by
the French and English Journals, the Observer publishes
a note delivered in the month of March to the Porte, by
Baron Ottenfels, to induce it to accept the proposals of the
Allied Powers.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 1.

General Sir G. S. Brown, Knight Companion of the
Order of the Bath, who had resided for some time with
his family at the Hotel de Bellevieu, died in the night of
the 30th December, after an illness of a few hours only,
regretted by all those who knew him. It is thought that
the body will be sent to England.

Hamburgh Papers of thl 29th• ult. have been
received this morning. It appears that the Mo-
rocco corsairs are preparing tm o ships to cruize
against Prussian and Hanseatic vessels, probably
because their usual tribute has been delayed.
How long are the Nations of Europe to submit
to a nest of pirates, by granting such contribu-
tions-=alike disgraceful to their own Power, and
the principles of independence upon which they
profess to act ? The thing is a perfect anomaly
in modern times, that a petty tribe of despots,
with a few ships of war, should levy tribute
from nations, any one of which is sufficiently
strong to crush their pride ;—yet such is the
fact—and must so continue till the States of
Europe are roused to a sense of duty, by reflect-
ing on the dishonour of subserviency

NAMBURGIT, DEC. 27.
Official confirmation has been received of the disagree-
able intelligence that Morocco corsairs have been sent out
to cruise against Hamburgh ships. An official notice from
the Spanish Consul at Tangiers, announces that two ships
of 18 guns, and 150 men each, are already fitted out,
which arc to cruise off Cape St. Vincent, against Prussian
and Hanseatic ships.

STOCKIIOLM, DEC. 18.
The great Committee for revising the system of public
education is convoked for the 4th January, and it is hoped
that it will then remain assembled long enough to conclude
its labours and present its report. The Beard of Trade
having presented its report on the best distribution of the
Consulates in the Levant, with a fixed salary for the Con-
suls, the Government has judged the present moment not
suitable for a final decision, and has, meantime, left it to
the Swedish Ambassador at Constantinople to appoint
Vice-Consuls in ports of the Ottoman Empire (with the
exception of Egypt, where, as usual, there will be a
Consul-General, in the room of M. Baty), WI instead of

the former Consular dues on the cargoes, has decided that
the dues shall be charged on the vessels.
The King has asked the Norwegian Government for its
opinion on the necessity of convoking an extraordinary
Storthing next February.
On the night of the 7th, four large houses and some
warehouses full of goods, at Abo, were destroyed by are.

We have lately lost some distinguished persons by death.
Counsellor of State Count Von Wirsen was attacked by
apoplexy at the beginning of this month, in consequence
of extreme exertions in his official duties, and, though he
afterwards recovered in some measure, he died on the 9th
of this month, at the age of 60. The day before yester-
day died M. Castrom, Counsellor of Commerce, and Com-
missioner of the Exchange of Stockholm. He had been
for several years Charge d'Affaires at the Courts of Warsaw,
Dresden, Berlin, and London. He has bequeathed valuable
collection• of natural history and works of art to tke Royal
Museum and Library, and also to the University of Upsal.
We have just received news of the death of Count
Cedernjelm, in East Gothland. He was formerly tutor to
the Crown Prince, and besides large donations to the town
of Linkoping and to Noble widows in that province, he is
said to have left to his Royal Highness his beautiful and
valuable estate of Saby.

In the proceedings at Cassel, respecting the celebrated
threatening letters, M. Von Mange, the Director of the
Police, is sentenced to be cashiered, to live years' imprison-
ment, and 2,000 dollars costs. M. Windemeith, Chief
Counsellor of Police, is also cashiered, and is to pay 1,000
dollars costs.

HALLE, DEC. 20,

Professor Geseni us has been invited to Gottingen, as

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 28th tilt.
was received this morning, but it contains nothing
which had not been copied into the Gazette de
France two days ago, except an article from
Odessa, dated the 14th ult., alluding to the
disastrous terms at which the Persian Empire

has been obliged to purchase peace with Russia.
The Metalliques, at Vienna, declined on the re-
ceipt of the news from Constantinople, on the

WARSAW, DEC. 11.
We have learnt from St. Petersburgh that the prelimi-
naries of peace with Persia were signed on the 28th of Nov.
in a village --.eav--renrie;--vy-enewasgiati-diplomatic agent
M. Obreskow, and a second plenipotentiary. The pro-
vince of Erivan on both sides of the Araxes, from the foot
of Mount Arrarat, to the Caspian sea, is by this treaty in-
corporated with the Russian Empire. The Persians en-
gaged at the same time, to indemnify the Russians for the
expences of this campaign, which are estimated at eighteen
million rubles ; till this sum is paid the Russian troops
will remain in pessession of all the strong places which
they now hold, including Tauris. Private letters from
Brody say that some unpleasant disputes bad arisen there
on entering some foreign merchandise at the custom-house,
so that the authorities in the respective frontier provinces
were obliged to interfere.

ODESSA, DEC. 14.
The peace with Persia is concluded on the most glorious
terms for Russia, the whole province of Erivan, and all
the defiles which make the Persian Empire dependant
upon us in a military point of view, are ceded to us. This
is the price at which Abbas Mirza has secured for himself
the recognition of his right to succeed to them.

BARCELONA, DEC. 20.—The King and Queen have
passed the whole of the day, of the 18th, at the Exchange,
and after this long visit, returned on foot, amidst the ac-
clamations of the people, who followed them to the Palace.
Great expectations are entertained that an armistice will

The Government of Catalonia is going to be newly or-
ganized, which will be divided in two parts. This: order
will also establish General Monet, Commander of High
Catalonia, and the seat of Government will be Vich ; and
in Lower Catalonia, General Caratala, will have the com-
mand, and his residence will be at Reus or Valle.
ZANTE, DEc. 10.—(PRIVATE LETTER.)-The last
news from the Levant is very satisfactory for the liberty
of Commerce ; a great part of the Greek ships under Lord
Cochrane have given chase to some of the most daring pirates
of the Archipelago, destroying a great number of them.
This Admiral, who arrived lately in the waters of Messenie,
attacked the famous golette corsair, Kukuzzi, and took
seven men prisoners, the others got on shore ; another go-
-16 guns and
96 men, escaped by its superior
sailing, but
carryingbut two French ships were in pursuit of the above
vessel, trid great hopes were entertained of her capture.

In our Paper of Tuesday last we considered
how far the late Treaty for the deliverance of
Greece was founded on justice. The expediency
of the measure is, however, a totally different con-
sideration. There can be no injustice, there can
be no moral wrong, in interfering to protect the
weak from the oppression of the strong
; and,
where glaring atrocities are committed, the case
is still more clear on the ground of justice. It
may, nevertheless, be very inexpedient ; and nei-
ther nations nor individuals arc bound to enter
into Quixotic schemes for redressing the wrongs
of their neighbours, without first considering
whether they' have the power. They cannot
throw expediency out of the scale of their deli-
berations, as
it is manifest that by rash interfer-
ence they might only aggravate all the eyils
whirl they were endeavouring to relieve, • and
bring down upon themselves swift destruction,
sharing in the ruin which they could not prevent.
Accordingly we find that, at different periods,
great injustice and most cruel wrongs have been
committed, and on a great scale too, which the
most powerful nations of Europe have not stirred
a foOt to prevent, and in this case it was nothing
but considerations of expediency which kept
them quiet. The perpetrators of the enormities

complained of were too powerful to be resisted,
and it was clear that any interference by other
nations would lead to an arduous, protracted,
and possibly an unsuccessful war, which occa-
sioning as it would do, the most extensive misery,
might in the end rivet the chains which it was
intended to break. Thus, in the case of the in-
vasion and conquest of Poland by Russia,
Austria, and Prussia, one of the most flagrant
and revolting iniquities of modern times—
France and England beheld, without interfering,
this daring act of spoliation—they beheld this
ancient kingdom overrun with Russian troops,
her armies dispersed, and her inhabitants mas-
sacred. But they did not deem it expedient to
interpose, and to enter on a war with the power-
ful despots who made spoil of this peaceable
country. In like manner Great Britain did not
deem it expedient to oppose the late French in-
vasion of Spain. We had newly emerged from
au arduous conflict, in the course of which we
had suffered severely ; we were engaged in
healing the breaches made by this destructive
contest, and we did not deem it expedient to
gird on our armour anew, and to enter for the de-
fence of Spain into a war of which no one could
see the end. In all these cases our policy was
modified by considerations of expediency ; we
were warranted ; but we were not bound to inter-
fere. Every nation must be allowed to judge of
its own circumstances, where it is prudent to
stand neuter, and where to put forth its strength.
With regard to the present interference of the
Allies for the deliverance of Greece, it is clearly
justifiable upon every ground of expediency as
well as of justice, for what do the Allies hazard
by their interference ? They are a fearful over-
match for their opponents both by land and

;o ruin.

ping either fleets or armies. She is op-
posed by three Powers, with neither of whom,
single-handed, is she fit to contend ; what
prospect has she then of resisting their united
strength ? The pacification of Greece is the
single and specific object which the Allies have
in view. They cannot be directly thwarted in
this design : and is it to be supposed that they
will be awed from their course by the threat of a
general war ? On which vulnerable point, it may
be asked, would Turkey, if she were resolved
on wsr, commence the attack ? Would it be by
sea, where she has already received so sweet a
foretaste of her future triumphs ? Would she
send her armaments into the jaws of destruction
—would that promote her cause ? And, by
land, would she encounter the iron grasp of
Russia ? would she commence offensive hostili-
ties against that Power ? would she invade the

Russian territory ? this project would be too
preposterous even for the ignorance of barbarians.
But if the Allies are invulnerable both by land
and sea, what possible hazards do they incur by
their present measures ? They must accom-

plish the object they have in view; and, as it is
a laudable object, to rescue the weak from the
oppression of the strong, we cannot see how such
generous policy should be distasteful to any but

the barbarians themselves.
With regard to the extension of the Russian
power in the East, and tke danger that might

possibly arise from this quarter to our Indian
possessions, we consider this to be a most com-

plete chimera.

There is no doubt that

we give the rein to our imaginations, we
may construct hypotheses of danger equally

plausible and ingenious, and may succeed
in raising as good an alarm as we could wish
among the misjudging and the ill-informed.

But does any one seriously believe that our Indian
empire is in any danger from a Treaty for the

pacification of Greece ? This topic may, along
with others, be thrown as a small make-weight iitto

le scale of delusion—but no one believes in this

danger—no one feels it—it is a mere theory,

got up to answer a particular purpose, and may
be safely left to sink under the weight of its own
evident absurdity.

Our City Correspondent informs us, that a
report is prevalent in the City that accounts have been re-
ceived this morning from Vienna, that the Russian Am-
bassador had left that city, in consequence of which
the Metalliques had fallen one per cent. Our Cor-
respondent adds, that on making strict inquiry he
ascertains that letters have been received from Vienna, of
so late a date as the 26th ult., which do not mention such
an occurrence.

Accounts from Hamburgh of the 28th ult.
state the Exchange on London as half a groat higher,
and Gold NI per Cent. higher.

Letters from Constantinople of the sth ult.,
by the mail, state that the SULTAi had stopped all vessels
laden with corn, for which the Turks have paid one-third
in money, and given bonds for the rest, after which the
ships were suffered to proceed to their destination. Great
preparations for war still continue in the above capital.
CITY, THREE O'CLOCK.—An eminent com-
mercial house has this day received Letters from Constan-
tinople of the 10th ult. They mention the Ambassadors
having left on the Bth, and add that every thing was tran-
quil up to the day of the letters leaving. The merchants
and others were however preparing for the immediate em-
barkation of themselves and families, which apparently
would be permitted without molestation.

The Rev. Mr. MAGUIRE is shortly expected
in this city, to preach in aid of the funds of the new Fran-
ciscan Chapel.—Limerick Chronicle.

An interesting discovery was made last week
by EDMUND TrnELL Aims, F.S.A., P.G.S. of a Roman
villa in the neighbourhood of Helpatone (between Stamford
and Peterborough), on a spot where even an antiquarian
would not have anticipated any thing of the kind. The
result of M. ARMS) researches is a fine tesselated pavement
of superior workmanship and peculiar description, which
fully rewarded the labours of that spirited and indefatiga-
ble inquirer into the buried remains of ancient grandeur.
He is still in the neighbourhood searching after Roman
reliques, and has been making some novel and important
discoveries in the Bedford Purlieus, near Wansford, one •f
which is an iron foundery of the Romans, with the furnace,
&c. remaining entire.. Fork 0/wad!.

CITY, TWE.ZIE O' CLOCK.

The English Funds are in a state of little activity
to-day, and the effect which might have been ex-
pected, from the confirmation of the Allied Ambas-
sadors having left the Turkish capital, seems to have
.been fully anticipated ; in fact it appears that this
event has been rather the means of causing a con-
trary effect to that which might naturally be expected.
The eyes of the speculators are now steadily directed
to the banks of the Pruth, the next arrivals from
which may be extremely interesting ; still there
are those who think hostilities may be avoided.—
Consols opened at 83i 4, and are now 84i 4 for
