THE DINNER.

At half-past seven o'clock about ninety gentlemen
sat down to dinner, Thomas E. Lalor, of Cregg,
Esq. in the Chair, supported on the right by Lord
Duncannon, Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., and J.
M. Galway, Esq.; and on the left by Otway Cave,
Esq. M.P., and Nicholas P. O'Gorman, Esq.; the
Vice-Presidents were Pierse Somerset Butler, of
Baflyconra, Henry Winston Barron, of Belmont, and
Henry Briscoe, of Tinvane, Esq. M. Butler was
supported by J. Duffy, and E. Smithwick, Esqrs. ;
Mr. Winston Barron, by Counsellor Ronayne, and
the Rev. J. Sheehan ; and Mr. Briscoe, by
Reade, and Power, Esqrs. The tables literally
groaned under a profusion of the choicest viands and
delicacies of the season, served in a style of elegance
and comfort, which will long reflect credit on Mi.
Phelan, the Proprietor of the Bessborough Arms
Hotel. Sparkling eihanpaighe and prime Claret,
circulated in great abundance, and as these particular
wines were of most exquisite flavor, and elicited the
warm admiration of the connoisseurs, it is but justice
to say they were supplied by Mr. J. Luther of this
town. After the cloth was removed and grace said
by the Very Rev, Dr. Connolly, the Chairman called
upon the Secretary, E. Power, Esq. to read the fol-
lowing letters, which were heard with attention, and
loudly applauded : _

Newpark, .21 st Sept.

DKAIt Sts.,—l scarcely need say that I feel myself
highly gratified by the flattering communication with
which I have been favoured in your obliging letter on the
part of the gentlemen of Carrick-on-Suir. It is not a
little distreeeulg to me that I eannot avail myself of the in-
vitation with which I have been honoured—to be associ-
ated in any degree with my respected friend, Lord Dun-
cannon, would be doubly gratifying. My advanced age
however, and its consequent infirmities, debar me from
the enjoyment of this gratification, and leave me only the
power of offering, through you, to the gentlemen of Car-
rick-on Suir, my sincere thanks for their obliging invita-
tion, and to you, Sir, for your kindness in the manner of
communicating it to me.

I am, air, your obliged, and obedient servant,
JOHN NEWPORT.

Edwinsford, Sept. 28

Six,-By an advertisement in the Waterford Chro-
nicle of the 19th instant, which I found on my arrival
here, I perceive that a public dinner is about to be given
to Lord Duncannon, at Carrick, on the Ist of October,
and that my name is among those of the persons intended
to be honoured with invitations to it--though such invi-
tation has not yet reached me, owing probably to some mis-
take in the direction of the letter conveying it, I am anxious
not to omit expressing my high sense of the honour intend-
ed me, as well as my regret that any particular engage-
ments on this side of the water, will put it out of my
power to be in Ireland in time for the dinner, and will
thereby deprive me of the pleasure of witnessing the well-
deserved tribute of gratitude and applause about to be paid
to my Noble Friend by so respectable a portion of his con-
stituents, for the integrity, zeal, and ability with which
his exertions have always been directed, bgth in public
and in private, to the promotion of the Lest interests of his
country. I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient humble servant,
EBRINGTON.

To T. E. Lalor, Eq., &c.
The usual toasts followed, and the Chair was
successively addressed by Lord Duncannon, Otway.
Cave, Esq., M.P., D. O'Connell, Esq., M.P., N. P,
O'Gorman, Winston Barron, and S. Butler, Esqrs..
the Rev. J. Sheehan, Counsellor Ronayne, Messrsl
O'Donnell, Morris, Hackett, Walshe, and severs
other gentlemen—a full report of which we shall
give on Wednesday. ALout one o'clock Lord
,Duncannon, the Chairman, Mr. O'Connell, and Mr.
Otway Cave, retired. The Chair was then taken
by J. Matthew Galway, of Duckspool, Esq., when
after the festivities of the evening had been pro-
tracted some time longer, the numerous company
separated, highly delighted with the treat or elo-
quence and social harmony they had enjoyed, and
to which the polite end unremitting attention of the
Stewards had given additional effect.
It was highly gratifying to observe the peace,
good humour, and perfect order of the immense
crowd _assembled without during the entire night.

A French ta!low-chantller has invented a hol?
low wick for candles, which is said to increase their light,
while it prevents their guttering.
Croydon fair ended last night. The unfavour-
able state of the weather has occasioned considerable loss to
those who calculated upon gain arising from the sale of
their commodities.

GENOA, SEPT. 24.—A vessel which arrived
here on the 17th instant, picked up on the 3d, about 30
miles from Brindisi, a boat containing the crew of a Nea-
politan vessel, abandoned off Otranto, in order to escape
from a pirate, which chased, and having come up with,

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1829.

Up to the hour of our going to Press, no
intelligence hail been received by Government
from Constantinople. In the absence of au-
thentic news, we subjoin extracts from German
and other Papers, received this morning :

VIENNA, SEPT. 25.

On the departure of an English Courier from
Constantinople on the 10th, who arrived here yes-
terday evening by way of Seres, the treaty of peace
was not yet signed, but the signature was daily ex-
pected, as the delay fixed by General Diebitsch would
expire on the 13th, and he is said to have declared
that if peace were not concluded by that time he
would march with his whole army against Constan-
tinople. The Russian light troops had already pro-
ceeded as far as Silistria. There were various re-
ports in Constantinople respecting the conditions of
peace. The most worthy of credit seems to be the
following :
The Porte to pay to Russia for the expenses of
the war 25 (or as others say 30) millions of silver
rubles, for which a period of 20 years is granted,
during which the principalities and the fortress of
Silistria shall remain in the possession of the Russians.
The payment of the indemnity to Russian sub-
jects stipulated in the convention of Akermann
all the articles of which the Porte again agrees to
fulfil, and which amounts to 48 millions of Turkish
piastres, shall be made in three instal:nents.—
After the payment of the first, the Russian army is
to retire to the Balkan ; on that of the 2d, over the
Balkan ; and on that of the 3d, over the Danube.
The fortresses of Akhalzic, Akhalkalaki, Poti,
and Anapa, in Asia, to be ceded to Russia. In
Europe the frontiers of Tournoul, Ka'e, Ghiurgevo,
and Brailow (on the left bank of the Danube), to be
razed and not again rebuilt. The fine districts
hitherto separated from Servia to be re-united to
that province, and to enjoy the same privileges.
Lastly, it is said, but this is not cei tain, that
Russia has required that by one article of the treaty
of peace, the demarcation of the frontiers of Greece,
as laid down in the protocol of 22d March, 1829,
(by a line from Volo to Arta) than he accepted by
the Porte.
M. Von Rojer, Prussian Ambassador to the
Porte, set out on the Bth for the head-quarters of
General Diebitsch, by way of Rodosto.
TRAVEMAUDE, SEPT. 28.

To-day at three o'clock, the George IV. steam-
boat arrived at Constantinople from St. Petersburgh,
after a short passage of four days and eight hours.
It was known at St. Petersburgh that part of the
army had advanced to within a short distance of
Constantinople, that the negotiations of peace are
going on with great activity and promised a happy
termination, as the Turkish Plenipotentiaries agree
to every thing; i. e., that the terms depended en-
tirely on the generosity of the Emperor Nicholas.
A short time before the letters departed, a Courier
had arrived, who left Adrianople on the Gth, whose
despatches were extremely satisfactory with respect j
to the negotiations.
The St. Petersburgh Gazette contains a more de-
tailed report of Count Paskewitsch, respecting his
late victory over the Turks who attacked Beirout.
At the conclusion he says—
" The force of the enemy who fought with us was
12,000 men ; they expected besides 10,000 fresh
auxiliaries from all parts of Laristan.
" With this report I have the happiness to lty at
-

your Majesty's feet four standards of the Lazes, the
bravest of the Asiatic Tribes."

The following is from our Paris Correspon-

dent :

PARIS, OCTOBER 4.

Those who place confidence in the informa-
tion obtained through the medium of the Mini-
sterial Press, have now satisfied themselves that
all uncertainty is now at an end as to the state of
affairs in the East. We are assured, on the
authority of the Gazette and the Quotidienne,
that a courier arrived in Paris from Constanti-
nople yesterday afternoon, bringing the intelli-
gence, dated the 10th of September, that the
Sultan had accepted the conditions proposed by
General Muffling in the name of the Emperor
Nicholas. The reason assigned for the hesita-
tion on the part of the Divan, in accepting these
conditions is, that they are less moderate than
were at first expected. It is admitted that the
particulars of the treaty have not yet transpired,
but it is said that the Russians are to occupy
Adrianople till a certain portion of the indemnity
has been paid, after which they will repass the
Balkan. As to the affairs of Greece, it is un-
derstood that the Sultan concurs in the decision
adopted at the conferences in London ; and in
other respects it is believed that the Ottoman
territory will remain inviolate.

On the other hand, it is stated in a letter from
Frankfort, of the 29th of September, that the
period granted to the Porte by Gen. Diebitsch
for the adoption of the treaty of peace baying
been suffered to pass without any result, the
General had given orders to recommence the
necessary operations on the following day for
taking possession of Constantinople. It is added
that much blood had been shed, but whether in
consequence of resistance to the invading army,
or of a popular tumult instigated by discontent,
and directed against the partizans of the Sultan,
it was not precisely known. At length, on the
15th, the capital is said to have been occupied on
all the principal points, and the Russian army
to be in full possession.
The latest letters from Vienna, which are to
the 25th, express the impatience with which in-
telligence from Constantinople was expected. It
was known that General Diebitsch had left
Adrianople on the 10th, and was on his route
to the capital, but the knowledge of the ac-
ceptance by the Sultan of the Russian conditions
had not then reached Vienna. It was believed,
however, that the required indemnity amounted
to 90,000,000 of fine piastres (the piastre being
estimated at two-thirds of a florin Imperial
money) that England and France were to gua-
rantee the payment, and that the Russians were
to maintain their present positions in further se-
curity. The navigation of the Black Sea was
to be open to merchant ships of all nations, but
Russia was have the exclusive right of main-
taining a fleet of ships of war in that sea. The
liberty of Greece was to be recognized by the
Turkish Government, and that liberty placed
under the # protection of Russia, France, and
Great Britain. It is obvious that these state-
ments are merely conjectural, and as such I sub-
mit them to your consideration, knowing that
you will only attach to them their just value.
It is alleged by the Journal of Odessa, that
besides the Janissaries and their partizans, who
had lately been executed by the command of
the Sultan, the Seraskier had also ordered the
strangulation of a great number of individuals ;
and that the number of victims :was already
greater than 1826, at the period of the destruc-
tion of the great body of the Janissaries. It is
also stated, that a corps of Turkish cavalry hav-
ing been disbanded on the route from Mace-
donia to Sophia, had committed the greatest
excesses.

The letters from Vienna mention that the
Austrian troops on the side of the theatre of
war, denominated, in modern phraseology, as
mere sanitary cordons, have lately been greatly
strengthened. It appears that symptoms of fer-
mentation had manifested themselves in Upper
Hungary and Transylvania, and that the Prince
Palatine had made a report on the subject to the
Emperor. It is added, that Count Metternich
had sent some of his secret agents to the dis-
turbed districts, to learn the true state of the fact,
and to adopt precautionary measures. The
Hungarian Nobles are probably dissatisfied with
the present system of the Government, and it is
known that they are desirous of reclaiming their
ancient rights and privileges.
I observe it stated in a letter from Leghorn,
of the 21st of September, on the authority of
intelligence from Tenedos of the 12th, that a
fleet of 13 English ships of war had been seen
to pass that island on the 10th ult. The news
from Constantinople by this channel was to the
Bth, and bear that the Christians were in the
greatest alarm, but were prepared to repel
force with force. The rich Mussulmans had
left the town, and it was said that Mahmoud
had been opportunely informed by his favourite
Italian, of a plot which had been concerted
within the precincts of the palace, and which,
like that of the Janissaries lately spoken of, had
his death for its object. The detected con-
spirators had, it is said, been strangled in secret,
because it was not desirable that it should be
publicly known that the Sultan had been exposed
to danger in the midst of his Court.
Such of the inhabitants of Paris as can enjoy
the perusal of the English Newspapers, have
been very much amused with the somewhat
peevish, if not intemperate, discussion which
has lately arisen between the Morning Chronicle
and the Examiner, as to the present state of in-
formation and intelligence in France. As usual
in such cases, I believe that the truth lies
in the middle between the two combatants;
and that the great Way of the French people

_ -

are neither so sottichly ignorant as the Chro-
nicle would have us to believe, nor'' so
spiritual and enlightened as the writer in the
Examiner asserts, on the authority of personal
observation. If, however, the disputants had
thought fit to restrict themselves to the single
point of political knowledge, out of which the
Nhole discussion arose, it would have divested
the argument of much of that petulance and
personality with which it has been accompanied,
and would at the same time have greatly facili-
tated the solution of the true question at issue.
The result of my own observation and experience,
and the information I have been able to draw
from those around me, fully warrant the inference
if I may venture to make use of a somewhat
hackuied expression, that the march of political
knowledge in France has, within the last few
years, and particularly since the removal of the
censorship from the press, been making rapid
and extraordinary advances. It is true that, as
compared with that of Englishmen, this species
of information is not yet in France so mellowed
by time, or so matured by education and ex-
perience; but the genius of the French cha-
racter is apt at acquisition, and ready to apply
the knowledge it possesses with more immediate
effect than our phlegmatic and less mercurial
countrymen. I have not been surprised, there-
fore, to see them forming such associations as that
which was lately announced in Brittany ; and I
am persuaded that if Ministerial obstinacy shall
now drive them to a crisis, the degree of know-
ledge they already possess will save this country
from such a dreadful convulsion as that which it
experienced forty years ago.
I have been sorry to observe within these few
days a sort of begging advertisement by the
bookseller of M. de Chateaubriand, calling upon
the public, by the purchase of a new edition of
his works, to remunerate the poor but noble
Viscount for the pecuniary loss he has sustained
by refusing to retain his embassy under the pre-
sent Ministry. The return of Villele to power
is again confidently talked of, and it is said that,
in conformity with ancient usage, the change is
to be effected during his Majesty's temporal ab-
sence from the neighbourhood of Paris. The
King goes to-morrow to Compiegne, and the
following week he is to pass at Fontainbleau,
after which he is to take up his abode at the
Tuilleries.

Extract of a Commercial Letter from Buenos
Ayres, dated July 22 :—" The country which
had suffered so severely from late events is gra-
dually recovering, but the communications are
not yet perfectly open, and we have received few
commodities. The returns also will be very
difficult from the scarcity of our products. We
have at this moment in our roads a great quan-
tity of French shipping, and many of the vessels
have been waiting from three to four months for
freights. We have a large quantity of mer-
chandize here, but the consumption is small,
being confined solely to the town, and the arti-
cles of the first necessity are alone in demand."

Letters from Madrid have been received to
the 22d ult. The health of the KING con-
tinues good. It was current at Madrid that a
new expedition against South America was
about to be formed. The two points of rendez-
vous for the troops will be Cadiz and Ferrol,
from which places they will be conveyed in
transports to the Canaries, which is the final
place of assembling. Lieut.-Colonel Don Do-
MINGUE ARISTIZABAL had been sent to Ha-
vannah with despatches relative to this armament.
To carry it into effect it would however be ne-
cessary to raise a forced loan, which would be
attended with some danger.

Demerara Papers to the 11th August have
been received at the North and South American
Coffee-house. The following account from the
Paper of the 10th August is almost too horrid
to relate :

" The trial of Alexander Ross, Joseph Conyers,
and L. Minn, was finished at so late an hour on
Friday that we can only allude to the result, and
even now we find it impossible to give any thing
like a correct account of it.
"M. Pulchan, who is a Swede, and whose in-
tellects do not seem to be of the strongest nature,
was invited to the house of Ross, on Sabbath, the
24th of May last, where after being well filled with
spirits by the parties, a handful! of pepper was
thrown in his eyes. When thus completely blind and
smarting with excruciating pain, they stripped him
of his clothes, laid him across a chair, and com-
menced flagellation with a piece of whalebone, till
his person was completely lacerated and one mass
of raw flesh. They then, with a diabolical refine-
ment of cruelty, rubbed the lacerated parts with
cayenne pepper, which was enough to madden the
unfortunate victim ; and when this progress was
done, they applied large and powerful blisters,
almost around his person, so that the unhappy man
was for days unable either to sit or lie down,
and could obtain no rest but upon his knees. This
caused in him a kind of stupor and aberration of mind,
and his life was considered in great danger. Whilst
these disgusting details were adduced in evidence,
the conduct of the prisoners was any thing but be-
coming, and the draft of their defence was to esta-
blished an alibi; but in this, although supported by
the best Counsel at the bar, they completely
failed. We believe the whole of the three prisoners,
with their worthy witness, Marcallum, are grog-
shop•keepers.

We this clay insert a communication from a
Correspondent, headed " Commercial Policy,"
to which:we invite the attention of our readers.
The general argument maintained in it is, that
we ought to cheapen the production of our ma-
nufactures by every means in our power, partly
that we may thus contribute to put down the
present excessive competition in their supply,
partly that we may raise the relative value of the
equivalent we receive for' them, and thus sell a
greater quantity (furnishing more labour, and, if
the expellees of production are reduced in a cor-
responding degree, with an increasing profit to
ourselves) at still the same price to our cus-
tomers, But our particular suggestion for com-

passing this end is, that we should protect our
agricultural interest by bounties on home corn,
making food cheap, rather than by duties on fo-
reign making it dear ; and this with the view,
besides cheapening production, of thus assisting
our artisans to maintain a competition with ma-
chinery in agricultural and the more simple ma-
nufacturing operations, and thereby keeping
them in labour and bread, even though finally
expelled nearly altogether, as they certainly must
be, from finer works. This suggestion was first
hinted at in a pamphlet which we have lately
noticed two or three times, and has been ob-
jected to, with some justice, by several of our
Morning Contemporaries. It is certainly here
placed, however, in a very plausible light, and
we shall be glad to find them re-considering their
opinion. Every lover of humanity and of his
country would wish to find it possible to think
that, by adapting our institutions to the changes
of times, so fair a prospect could be set before us
as our Correspondent anticipates, but we have
our doubts.

CITY, TrirsLrE o'CLocr:

The Quebec Paper of the 3d Sept. contains an
account from Antegonist of the 11th August, stat_
ing that for some weeks past fires have been break-
ing out in different parts of the woods, which has
become alarming, and has done much injury in seve-
ral places, from Little River to the Gut of Canso.
From Montreal of the 29th August, they state
that George Simpson, Esq. Governor of the Hud-
son's Bay Company's territories, arrived at Lachine;
he left the mouth of the Colombia River, on the
N.W. coast of America, on the 25th March, and
reached Red River Colony about the end of May ;
he reports that the crew of the William and Anne,
which was wrecked at the entrance of the Colombia
River, were treacherously murdered by the natives ;
they consisted of 16 Europeans and 10 Sandwich
Islanders.

The Agricultural Report of Quebec states that
the innikets have fallen on the report of a favour-
able year, and they will probably continue low. The
price of labour will also fall ; but the price of grain
will depend on the prices in England.
Letters from the Brazil state that the late accounts
from Buenos Ayres, through Monte Video, mention
that a peace was concluded, and the armies were
disbanding.

The Consol market at present is very inactive,
owing to Government not having as yet received
any official accounts of the signing of the peace be-
tween the Russians and the Turks; but the private
information on the above subject leaves it beyond a
doubt that it has been signed, and Government can-
not give it before they receive the Treaty from
their Ambassador, winch is generally a delay of
some time.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 89 for the
account, opened this morning at 89fr, buyers, and at
present they may be quoted at 89} and for Nov.
account 89i.
They write from Toulon that the corvette Astro-
labe had sailed for Algiers with the English
Consul and suite, who when off the port of Al-
giers was to go on board an English ship, which was
to conduct him into the port of Algiers.
In the Foreign market nothing doing as yet.

TWO O'CLOCK.

The express received this morning from Paris does
not bring any further information in regard to the
signing of peace than has been previously received.
The delay of the official accounts has somewhat
damped the Consol market. Consols, which were
in the early part of the morning at 891 for the ac-
count, have since receded to 891 f, and 89. i, sellers,
for the November account, at which price they re-
main steady at present, with little business trans-
acting.
In the Foreign market little or nothing doing,
except in Portuguese stock, which is not so good as
yesterday ; all other Foreign securities are at nearly
the same price as they left off.
