BLOCKADE OF THE BOSPHORUS.

Faris.

The following account from Odessa shows
that the Russians are in earnest in carrying the
blockade el Constantinople into as complete
effect as possible. The Bosphorus—the key
to Constantinople from the Black Sea, is now
blockaded, as well as the Dardanelles. Let it
be remembered too that the Dardanelles are
blockaded by the Admirar and ships sent to re-
lieve Admiral HE DEN in the Mediterranean !

Has that Admiral yet shown any disposition to
return home ? Oh no, the Baltic is now
frozen—and - the thing is of course inr

possible !. We said as much at the very
time when the Duke of WELLtNciToN was
refitting the, Russian ship; in an English port ;
but the Duke was too magnanitnotts to doubt
the sincerity of his Russian ally, the moderate
NIC HO.l. A 9, and so the fleet got all it wanted ; but

the Duke now begins to perceive that he was
out-generalled in the business, and tries hard to
induce the Emperor of RUSSIA to abstain from
his ambitious purposes. But will solicitation
avail his Grace ? Does he think negociation
will arrest the march of the invader to the
goal of his ambition—the object dearest
to 'his own heart, and the most gratifying to
his immense army, as well as yo his barbarous
population ? No ! if the Duke of WELLING,.
TON hopes to curb the daring presumption of
Russia, it must be done by an armed de-
monstration—and that while the display may
prove effective—for when once the Rus-

sian armies are in motion, not even the
EMPEROR himself can check their ardour or
stay the march of desolation, goaded by the re•
collections of revenge, and maddened by the lust
for plunder. But in the face of all this we are
told that the Emperor of RUSSIA is moderate—
and we all know that the Duke of WELLINGTON
is magnanimous—most magnanimous

ODESSA, DEC. SL.
Our Journal contains the following official notice to the
merchants : _ .

...... _
The Commander of our fleet i❑ the Black Sea, Admiral
Greigh, has received orders to declare the Bosphorus
in a state of blockade, and not to permit any ships
to enter or come out of the Channels, except such as are
bound to one of the Russian ports in that Sea, or
come from one of those ports without either corn or
contraband of war on board. ITrlerthename of contra-
band of war are to understood, arms, cannon, gunioigFr;
saltpetre, sword-belts, saddles and bridles. All farther re-
gulations which the Government may think necessary fur
the direct inforciug of the blockade will be published with-
out delay.

The Grand Rotunda Meeting, an ample re-
port of which will be found in our columns of
to-day, took place on Tuesday last at Dublin.

It was eminently characterized by a moderate
and elevated tone of feeling, so, of course, pre-
sented a striking contrast to that late abortive
experiment on the patience and understanding of
the Davonians—the Exeter Anti-Catholic Meet-
ing. Among the orators appeared a gentleman
named BERWICK, a nephew of the immortal

RATTAN, whose speech we have great pleasure
in recommending to our readers, insomuch as it
presents a display of energy and argument, ar-
rayed in the garniture of an eloquent but not re-
dundant style. We must also take leave to
notice the very excellent practical observations
of Colonel WES TEN It A, who awards an ample
measure of justice to the meekness—the genti-

lit---the decorum,
.and the rhetouic of the Mo-
naghan Parsons. In the last department of in-
tellect, these reverend Brunswickers are surpassed
only by the flippant verbiage of that blundering
and infatuated scribbler, who daily soils a con-
siderable quantity of paper in a certain Morning
Journal, founded upon falseheod and matured
by intolerance.

Extracts from the French Papers will be
'Amnd in another column. The Prince DE Po-
LIGN AC is the present "_Lion of the day" at

It is said that the Government of Peru has
declared the Coast of Colombia in .a state of
blockade, from the latitude of 3 deg. 6 min.
south, to 9 deg. north.

The following communications were posted a
Lloyd's this morning :

ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, JAN. 23, 1829,

am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty to acquaint you, for the information of the
Committee for managing the Affairs of Lloyd's, that their
Lordships have directed the Admirals at Plymouth and
Cork to send out any vessels which. may Ise disposable to
the chops of the Channel, to afford supplies to the Trade
which may be kept out by the easterly wind.
I am, &C. Ste.
(Signed) J. W. CROKER.

Our City Correspondent says, that an Ex
traordinary Ambassador is daily expected from
Russia, with proposals to England and France,
as to the basis on which the EMPtROR will

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, Twxr.rs o'CLosr.

The bustle attendant on the settlement having subsided,
the English Funds seem to have 'relapsed into a state of
inactivity, and the Bears, who have,suffered severely, axe
desirous to take breatb,before they take any decided operation.
Up to the above hour very little business has been trans-
acttal, and the price has been 864 both for money and
time, without any variation. India Bonds, 69 70; and
Exchequer Bills, 68 70 pm.
Nsthing can exceed the stagnation in the Foreign Funds,
and prices are quite nominal ; Brazilian Bonds, 63 3 ;
Colombian, 223. 3 ; Portuguese, 53 I;. Russian, 96 ;
Danish, 63 ; and Spanis, 9:1 10.
Late accounts have been received this morning from
Lima, to the 26th September; they announce the blockade
by the Peruvian Government of all ports from lat. 3. 6.
S., 9. N., which comprehends the ports in Colombia, in
the Pacific, from Turnl,ez to Panama ; this b!otkade is
occasioned by the eruption between the Peruvian and Co-
lombian Government, in consequence of the latter demand-
ing certain sums due to the subjects of the latter, occa-
sioned by spoliation committed on their subjects; as the
means of supporting efficiently the blockade of so large an
extent of coast are very inadequate, it is supposed the
British Commanders and other neutral vessels of war will
not admit it, consequently it may only be considered a paper
blockade. The force of Peru consists of a frigate, a
schooner, and a corvette, the latter at Payta seriously injured
is a recent action ; his Majesty's ship Forte is expected at
Lima shortly.
