great renown is to tie employed in the business at
the Court of Constantinople.

The following are extracts from the Allgoncine
Zeitung, received this day. The contents are un-

important :

VIENNA, FED. 28.

Our funds have improved in consequence of the news of
the deposition of the Grand Vizier, who was considered as
the grand support of the party that is in favour of war,
and it is supposed that there is now more reason to hope for
peace.

CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 10.

It is reported that M. Jatibert's negotiation has taken a
favourable turn, and that he will soon leave this city.—
Nothing, however, is known for 'certain. The disposi-
tion of the Grand 'Vizier causes a great sensation; it is
said that, notwithstanding his energetic expressions
after taking the seals, he was secretly in favour
of peace, and that this is the cause of his dis-
grace. Since the departure of the Russian flag of
truce, to whom the Reis Effendi gave a preliminary
answer to Count Nesselrode, nothing farther has occurred
on the subject, and a speedy answer is the more expected
as the Russian Government had fixed the 15th Feb. as
the time before which the Porte should give a final
answer whether it would send Commissioners to Acker-
man. The Reis Effendi desired to be first informed of the
basis of the proposed negotiations, and the flag of truce
was despatched with this answer on the Bth of January.
The reply of Russia might therefore be already here.

We insert in another part of our impression this
day a petition from the Merchants, Bankers, and
other Inhabitants of the great commercial town Of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, praying that " the political
restrictions which affect his Majesty's Roman Ca-
tholic subjects may be removed." And we have
great pleasure in announcing (upon the authority of
a well informed Correspondent) that the enlightened
Corporation of that Borough will meet on Saturday
first, (this day,) by special summons, " to take into
consideration the propriety of supporting Govern-
ment in their intended measure for the pacification
of Ireland, and of imploring Parliament to adopt
such measures for the removal of the civil disabilities

of the Roman Catholics, as may be deemed con-
sistent with the security of the Protestant succes-
sion." We congratulate the country on these
truly liberal symptoms of the times.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlN—Having this day read a paragraph in your Paper
which alludes to me, I have thought it proper to state the
thing properly to you, as it appears you have been very
much misled by your Correspondent.
At the time alluded to I certainly disguised myself in
the dress of the Order of the Ancient Druids, to make it
more public to the lower orders, for the express purpose
of signing the petition in favour of our Catholic fellow
subjects, having always considered Emancipation of that
body as of consequence to the prosperity of our national
interest, and now doubly mere so, it having the sanction
of his Majesty's Ministers. I should feel happy if you
would contradict the statement of my signing both peti-
tions, and I never have been the tool of any party nor e►er
intend to be. I am, Sir, &c. &c.

THOS. WAKEHAM RICHARDS.

P.S. I trust you will not think it too much trouble to
put in this contradiction, or what I have written if you
choose.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.—It will be seen
on reference to the charges of the Judges on circuit, that
there is, at present, a moat remarkable absence of crime,
particularly in the county of Limerick, a few years since
one of the most disturbed districts in the country. This
may be regarded as a proof, that in proportion to the
progress of political spirit, private morality has extended.
