Highness the Duke of Lucca, with his consort, is expected
here, from Dresden, in the course of this month, and may
perhaps spend the winter here.—Metalliques, 911; Bank
Shares, 1,080.

ODESSA, SEPT. 29.

According to merchants' letters from Constantinople,
dated 20th September, the Sultan is reported to have
given orders, by a Hatti Sheriff to- the Grand Vizir, " to
convoke an extraordinary Divan, and to lay before it the
proposals of pacification made by the three Powers, for
the purpose of hearing its opinion, whether these proposals
are not a mere pretext to endanger the entire existence of
the Ottoman empire in Europe." Such is the account
given by these merchants' letters. To us, however., the
whole statement appears to be greatly in need of confirma-
tion. Perhaps there is some quid pro quo here, and they
allude to another Hatti Sheriff, addressed to the Divan,
which exhorted the members to firmness.

BUCHAUEST, SEPT. 22.

Merchants' letters from Constantinople, of the 17t.1,
relate that the Reis Effendi had sent for the Dragomans of
the three legations, and conununicated to them an order
of the Sultan to enter into negociations on the affairs of
Greece. Though this news has been received by several
respectable merchants here, we cannot give it implicit
credit, because nothing of the kind has been made known
through an official channel, which would surely be the
case if any so important change had taken place. That
the Porte, however, wishes fur an accommodation cannot
he doubted, and is said to be affirmed by an English courier,
Jlispatched from Constantinople to London, on the 17th,
by the British Ambassador to the Porte, and who passed
through this city some days ago. Meantime all that has
been reported of warlike movements of the Russian army,
on the Profit, or of other hostile indications in our country,
is pure fiction.

BUCHAREST, IIErT. 30.

The latest letters received htlre from Constantinople,
which are of the 20th of this month, affirm that the Porte
was beginning to show itself more compliant.

VIENNA, OCT. 7.

Letters from Corfu, of 231 September, say—" In the
night of the 20th arrived here the two Austrian ships of
war the Enao corvette (now the Lipsia), commanded by
Baron Sourdeau, and the Ariana schooner, Captain
Gnoate ; they both came in 17 days from Smyrna, and set
sail to-day for Trieste. They bring a confirmation of all
that we have heard through other channels, respecting the
Egyptian expedition and the English squadron. Lord
Cochrane is reported to have been seen a few days ago, with
about 20 sail, between Cephalonia and Missolonghi."
The Oriental Spectator of Ist September contains a
letter from one of its subscribers to the Editor, in reply to
an article of the Greek Bee, published at Hydra, respect-
ing the mceedingi of the Austrian Commodore, Count
Dandolo, to recover four Austrian merchantmen captured
by the Greeks, and carried into Spezzia. The writer en-
ters into a long analysis of the article in the Bee,
which, with the exception of the fact that the ships
mere given up, he declares to be a tissue of exag-
geration and lideehood from beginning to end. The
Oriental Spectator annexes to the letter of its Cor-
respondent some reflections on the conduct of the
Sptzziot cruisers, and the right they assume to stop and
search neutral ships at sea. " What," asks the Oriental
Spectator, "is that Priee Court that was appointed at
Napoli? What is its code, its maritime and commercial
law, what security does it offer for the defence of the in-
terests upon which it is to decide? How can any man
venture to speak of this tribunal, since a number of judg-
ments which we have in our hands, which we could pro-
duce, and which we will produce if required, furnish a
.proof that this tribunal is nothing but a scandalous mockery,
a cloak contrived to cover piracy? since most of their sen-
tences were not passed till the pirates had already unloaded
at Hydra and Spezzia, and the cargoes, respecting the cap-
tote of which the Court was to decide, were irretrievably
scattered and lost."
The Austrian Observer remarks in a note to the abeve:
—" Few of our readers, perhaps, know that the Oriental
Spectator, whieh has been published since the Ist of July
this year, has nothing in common with the Journal that
appeared for some years under this title, except the name.
The present Spectator is a highly interesting paper, written
with much ability and great freedom, which may be placed,
without hesitation, on a level with the best European
Journals." -

It is absolutely disgusting to read the trash
which some of our cotemporaries admit into their
columns, from those who avow themselves to have
been ardent admirers of the late Mr. CANNING.
His real friends and admirers regret that, under the
mask of pretended attachment to the memory of
that griran, persons are to be found weak
enough ite, and newspapers careless enough
to give publication to, the most absurd observa-
tions on the tribute of national respect which is
about to be paid to his genius and public ser-
vices, by the erection of a Monument. A
writer in the New Times of to-day, who
signs himself " An Architect," states that many
will withhold their contributions, if consecrated
ground is to be the depository of the _proposed
Monument ; that it was no honour to Mr. CAN-
Nato's remains, that they were removed from
Chiswick to Westminster Abbey ; and, that as
Me had lived to become a MAN OS ANOTHER

DISPENSATION THAN THE PRESENT, some
spot of classical ground was the most suitable
for his burial place." Not to allude to the dis-
regard which these observations imply to the
custom hallowed by time and religion, to de-
posit the remains of all mortality in places con-
secrated as sacred to the purpose, this writer
has shewn his utter ignorance of the fact, that
Westminster Abbey is absolutely the most classic
spot in the whole kingdom, from the accumulated
remains of the learned, the wise, and the eloquent,
which are deposited within its sacred walls. The
most illustrious of our Statesmen, Orators,. Poets,
Philosophers, and Divines here repose, as well
as the Warriors, the Nobles, and the Princes of
England; and if it were allowed to Mr. C ANNING
to be conscious of where his remains were de-
posited, that spot would be most acceptable which
his country has for so many ages devoted to the
reception of her most distinguished sons.

The association of ideas which that sacred
place inspires to a mind properly framed, could
never arise in viewing the tomb of Mr. CAN-
NING, had his remains been placed in a mau-
soleum in the garden of an Italian villa. The
conclusion we naturally come to may be fore-
seen: if. Parliament does not vote the erection
of a public Monument in. St. Paul's Cathedral,
or in Westminster Abbey, to the memory of the
most distinguished Statesman and Orator which it
has inscribed amongst its rolls, then the Commit-
tee for erecting the Monument, have a plain and
simple course, namely, to place it in the sacred pile
which contains the remains. But if Parliament
does that, which we are convinced it will do,
at the public expence, then still we would
recommend the Committee to erect their Monu-
ment in some other consecrated spot, rather
than in the shady groves proposed by the Archi-
tect, however they may be rendered classic by the
busts of Heathen Deities and fabulous Heroes,
which adorn them,
