BOROUGH OF MALDON.

The adjourned Meeting of the Freemen of this
Borough, resident in London, was held last evening
at the Crown and Magpie, Aldgate, to learn Mr.
Quintin Dick's determination whether lie would
stand candidate for its representation, vacant by thu
death of the Hon. Mr. Winn.
By eight o'clock about 150 freemen had assembled,
and some time after Mr. Dick, accompanied by his
younger brother, Hugh, Mr. Horace Twiss, and a
few other friends, entered, and were hailed with
cheers.

The chair was taken by Mr. BYGRAVE, who read
the resolution to which Mr. Dick had come, drawn
up in the form of a motion. It was to the effect
that Mr. Quintin Dick being unable to resign the
borough of Orford, for which he is at present
member, offered to the consideration of the electors
on the present occasion, his brother Hugh. This
resolution was put to the Meeting, and carried una-
nimously.
Mr. DICK addressed the electors. He regretted
that he could not on the present occasion► come for-
ward; his engagements with the electors who had
returned him to Parliament were such, that he could
not, consistently with those principles of honour
which every gentleman should maintain inviolate,
offer himself.—(Hear.)—He could assure them,
that his brother's principles differed in nothing from
his own—they were true blue.—(Cheers.)—lt was
not a desire to advance his family, or gratify ambi-
tion, that he offered his brother to their notice, but
he wished to preserve his connexion with them un-
broken.—(Loud applause.)
Mr. HORACE Twtss spoke at considerable length,
and with much animation. He could say for Mr.
Quintin Dick, that at the next election he would
come forward in place of his brother as their repre-
sentative.—(Cheers.)
Shortly, after, Mr. Dick and his friends left the
room, and the Meeting separated.

WENTWORTH AND Co.—lt is said that the
Assignees of WIENTWORTH and Co. have sold (privately) Mr.
AVEzerwoicrn's life estate,at three* and a half years' purchase.
This gentleman's income, from landed estates,. has been
generally estimated at 16,000/. or 17,0001. per annum,
but to avoid the possibility of error, let it he taken at
14,0001. per annum ; and at the time of the sale be was
fifty-two years old. Upon such an estimate, and accord-
ing to the rates of assurance, in public offices, Mr. WENT-
wortneslife interest, at fifty-two years of age, would be
worth eight years' purchase.—And thus, as another instance
of gross mismanagement under this unfortunate bankruptcy,
the creditors have to console themselves with the following
heavy loss on the single transaction of Mr. WENTWORTH'S
life estate.

£14,000 at Sf years' purchase, would produce...£sl,ooo
£14,000 at 8 years' purchase, would produce.. L 112,000

£61,000
Therefore the kiss of 61,000/. thus wasted has accrued to
creditors ; besides the loss on the deer, furniture, wine,
plate, &c. at Woolley Park.
* This is the sum always understood, but taking it at
four. /ears purchase, (for we wish to give every reasonable
allowance) the loss to the creditors will be 56,0001.—Leeds

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16, 1827.

lip to the latest hour at which we usually go
to press, no further accounts had reached town
either from Constantinople or Navarin. De-
spatches from both quarters are momentarily ex-

petted, and we have made every arrangement to
publish any news which may arrive after the
usual hours, in a SECOND EDITION.

In our Paper of yesterday we mentioned the
receipt of the Gazette de France of Wednesday,
and gave a paragraph from it containing intelli-
gence from Constantinople to the 20th. We
perceive that this intelligence is extracted from
the Augsburgh Gazette, the fertile channel of
communications from the East, the major part
of which have proved so incorrect as to lead us
to suspect that they were never received from
the quarter from whence it has been pretended
they came ; and there is so much confusion of
dates in the present articles that we suspect they
have been manufactured nearer home. One

thing, however, seems certain, that is, that
Austria has changed her tone, and is striving
now, when it is perhaps too late to prevent the
effects of herprevious advice, to induce the PORTE
to admit of her mediation. A disposition to do
so has, it is said, been manifested by the SULTAN,
but whether with a sincere intention, or with the
sole view of gaining time, remains to be seen.
Within forty-eight hours, however, we shall pro-
bably hear of the effect which the destruction of
his fleet has had on the SULTAN, and no further
speculation on the subject will be necessary.
We are happy also to perceive that the Gazette
de France classes under the head of Lies of the
Day, the assertion of the Quotidienne, that an
affray had taken place at Milo, between the boats'
crews of a French and English man-of-war.

Catalonia continues the scene of continual
disturbances. The Count d'EsPAGNE, on his
return to Vich, was attacked almost at the gates
of the city by an ambuscade of insurgents, wlio
were nut dispersed until some hard fighting had

taken place, and they had had 16 men taken
prisoners. Proclamations have been issued by

the Captain-General for disarming the whole
population, by requiring them to deliver every
description of weapon to the bailiffs of their re-
spective villages, under a fine of 100 ducats and
two years' spell in the gallies. Surely the noble
spirit of the Spaniards will be again roused by
this measure, and they will never consent to part
with their rapiers to be afterwards butchered in
cold blood.

The minor papers contain no news. They
are full of discussions on the elections, and the
unfair means used by the Government to secure
the return of their partizans. We have inserted
some extracts in another column.

We received last night Brussels Papers to the

made by the Paella of Romelia on the Greeks
of that District, seem to be confirmed :•—•
BRUSSELS; Nov. 12.—His 31ajesty, says the Journal of
Ghent, has been pleased to fix the opening of the Canal
from Ghent to Neuzen for the 18th of this month, being
the anniversary of the birth-day of our beloved Queen, and
has appointed his Excellency the Governor of this Province
to preside at this interesting ceremony.
Preparations are making all along the Canal to celebrate,
by brilliant fetes, the event, which is of such great impor-
tance to agriculture and commerce.
Letters from the Texel of the Bth of November say, that
some pieces of a wreck belonging to a large ship, which
have signs of copper on them, have been cast on.shore to the
north of Pestin. _ _

The whale cast on shore at Ostend has been sold for
three thousand florins.

SWITZERLAND, NOV. 3.—The Commissioners of the
Confederation, who were appointed to negociate a Treaty
of Commerce with the Grand Duchy of Baden, remained
assembled at Zurich from the 24th of October to the let of
November. They 'have presented to the presiding Canton
their report on the state of the negociation.
BRUSSIELS, Nov. 13.—A letter from Janina, of the 11th
October, gives some particulars of the embarrassing situa-
tion of the Pacha of Romelia,--" The Pacha," says the
letter, "is in the greatest alarm ; he sent his troops no less
a sum than 12,000 parses (6,000,000 piastres), and not-
withstanding his urgent solicitation, the Sultan sends him
nothing in consequence ; there are almost daily mutinies
among the troops. Not knowing what to do, he has resolved
to levy a contribution on the inhabitants, and has begun
with Demetrio Athanasio, whom he has taxed at 1,000
piastres. This forced loan will he imposed on all the
Greeks of Epirus, Thessaly, and Romelia, according to
their fortune. The ruin of the country will be the conse-
quence of it."

The following are extracts of the St. Pete►s-
burgh Jour►►al of the 30th ult,, received thi;

ST. rETERSBURGH, OCT. 28.

Sir Henry IVillock, Charge d'Affaires of his :Britannic.
Majesty at the Court of Persia, had the honour to be pre-
sented to the Emperor and Empress-Mother.

OCT. 29.

On the 26th of this month, being the anniversary of the
birth-day of the Empress-Mother, a deputation of the
Academy of Sciences, consisting of the President, Senator.
Ouvaroff, Messrs. Starch and Fuss, and Admiral Schoch-
koff, Minister of Public Instruction, bad the honour to be
admitted to an audience of her Majesty, to whom it de-
livered the following address :
" Madam,---The Academy of Scitnees, authorized by
its august protector, the Emperor Nicholas, has resolved
to record in its annals the signal favour of Providence,
which was pleased that your Majesty should honour with
your presence the fete of 1776 and that of 1826. Half a
century has elapsed between the two epochs, and if in this
long series of years, the life of, your Majesty has been
marked by various fortunes, Russia and the world know
