HE TURKISH WAR.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

Ist 'the midst of the present political conten-
iios it is difficult to present our readers with
any thing very certain regarding the rumoured
changes, and still more difficult to foresee the
important events that may grow out of them.
But if Cabinet politics are fluctuating and un-

certain, the great interests of the nation always
main the same. Two great parties now claim its
attention. We are no longer puzzled with the
innumerable sections into which our legislative
bodies had been of late years divided, but the
.old rump of Whigs and Tories, the only useful
parties, have again risen into the steady confidence
and regard of the country. They have risen too,
we are happy to find, with that old animation and
cordial dislike of each other which forbids all
compromise, and puts an end to all tergiversation,
. •

except that which stamps the brand of infamy

on the .brow of the seceder. Every passing
occurrence announces the expected warfare, even
Ducal Visits in the Country, and incidents which
would not in other times-indicate any thing more
important than the accouchement of a daughter
'or a battu of pheasants, are portentous of the
approaching storm, While the partisans on
each side are recruiting their forces and girding

On their armour, it may not be uninteresting to
our readers to reconnoitre the field of battle, to
ascertain the nature and advantages of the ground,
so that we may be better enabled on the day of
contest to bring assistance to that side which
shall espouse the cause of the country.
It was stated by the late lamented Mr. CAN-
NING, as a maxim of his foreign policy, that we
should never interfere between a Sovereign and
his subjects. The Treaty of London, of July
last, in which the Turks were called upon to de-
sist from their massacres, and give up a large and
fertile portion of the country to the Greeks, was
too manifestly a violation of that policy, and this
departure from principle is said to be one of the
strong points on which the present Opposition
,mean to offer battle to their opponents. It is

now evidently of little importance to the country

what were the maxims of Hr. CANNING'S
foreign policy, unless it be as a matter of history.

Were Mr. CANNING still here to defend
• self, no doubt he would do so with such elo-

quence and cogency of argument, that his too
confident antagonists would shrink from the con-
test. But the real question of importance is,
" What_is the true maxim of the foreign policy
of this country in such a case ?"
The laws which govern nations are, we humbly
presume, only to be deduced from their actions,
for with due respect for GROTI US, PUFFENDORF,
and all the German Doctors, we are not yet ac-
quainted with any code by which nations are
actually bound. But, certain we are, that neither
England, Austria, nor any other Power, can have
a right to complain, if the maxims of its govern-
ment be deduced from its deeds.
We will not draw examples from remote
periods, when it may be said that the maxims
of Government were not yet staid and fixed.—
We will even pass over the whole pregnant
'period of the Revolutionary war, and only
ook into the conduct of the Governments
f Europe since the Peace. A delicate ana-
is not necessary. To say nothing of
partition, or rather spoliation, of Europe
the Congress, on what plea is the ad-
ranee of the French armies into Spain against
a Legislature assembled with the legitimate
Monarch of the country at its head, to be de-
fended ? or how dare Austria, after her solemn
and public violation of the rights of Monarchs
gn d people, prohibit other nations from following
the same course when their interests; fancied or
real, or their feolings, urge them to interference ?
Do not Norway, South America, and the Indies,
bear witness to the meddling with the business
of other empires ? and after so many and such
recent instances of the rules which t;o,,ern the re-
lations of States in these modern times of hypo-
crisy and purism, is it not too absurd that the
public should be deafened with the angry cry of
an ousted faction of political craftsmen, who, after
having deserted their Sovereign, would fain com-
pel their successors to betray the State ?
No, the example of the whole world proves
that it is really consistent with the honour of a
nation to interfere with the affairs of other
Stites; nay, that there are times when it is not
consistent with the honour of a great country, or
with the prudence of a wise country, to remain
inactive. No doubt such a principle must not
be, cannot be, written in our laws. It will not
the less govern our actions. There are certain
crimes of so deep a dye that they place nations
without the pale of law. Such have been
the crimes of the Turks. Are their blood-
hounds to be let loose with remorseless fury;
to sweep away whole tribes, whole nations
of people, with nauseous cruelty, to violate in
the midst of slaughter, to mangle the helpless
infant at the breast, to crowd and complicate
their crimes till they cry td Heaven for vengeance,
and shall this generous people, which has ever
awakened at the sound of suffering, be prevented
by a cold calculating timid policy from staying
the ruffian' hand of the destroyer ? Forbid it
Heaven ! Forbid it every English heart! The
brightest
Ye"' of our glory are those in whi
we have fought on the side of weakness again t

LONDON.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER I°, 1627.

Our cotemporaries are amusing their readers
by rumours of changes in the Administration,
and even going so far as to name the successor.
of Lord GODEhICH ; but we feel confident that
there will be no change, for his Lordship re,
mains in office. In saying this, we do npt, of
course, state that no change is probable at some
future period; but we can assure our readers
that no change is contemplated at present.

The despatches brought from Corfu by Mr.
AIARQUESA, the Italian messenger, are dated
on the 6th instant, and not 6th November, as
erroneously stated in part of our impression yes-
terday. The non-receipt of intelligence from
Constantinople, by this opportunity, proved two
things of opposite tendency. First, that the
Ambassadors had not left Constantinople on
the 15th November, because, if that had been
the case, it must have been known at Corfu long
before the 6th instant; and, indeed, it is more
than probable that Mr. CANNING would have
arrived' there ; and secondly, that the embargo
had not been taken off, as stated by the French
Papers, eight days prior to the 24th November,
that is, on the 16th of that month, because the
knowledge of that event would necessarily also
have reached Corfu, prior to the date of the de-
spatches. It must, therefore, necessarily be in-
ferred that affairs at Constantinople remained, in
the same state up to 'the 24th or 25th of No-
vember.

Since writing the above we find that his MA-
JESTY'S Government received late last night,
despatches from Mr. STRATFORD CAN-
NING, dated at Constantinople on the 24th of
November. At that time, no favourable change
had taken place in the disposition of the Sul TA N.
On the contrary, he had reiterated his former de-
termination with firmness, not to accede to the
wishes of the Allies, and his demand for com-
pensation for his losses at Navarin. In the mean
time, however, he had been induced to take off
the embargo on the shipping ; thus acting with
moderation though with an unshaken resolution.

Our City Correspondent says, that the
embargo was only laid on in order to stock Con-
stantinople with Corn, which being effected, the
SULTAN permitted ships to depart. The SUL-
TAN, was, however, fully determined to abide
by his previous resolution, and but very
faint hopes were entertained of affairs be-
ing amicably settled. All intercourse had
been broken off with the AUSTRIAN IN-
TERNUNCIO, by the Allied Ambassadors, who
refused his mediation, as they discovered that he
was acting with duplicity in taking the part of
• the SULTAN.

The Ambassadors were to take their depar•
ture on the 27th, if the SULTAN did not ac•
cede to their demands.

WINDSOR, DEC. 18.—Yesterday the Earl of
HAhROWBY and Mr. Ilusictssorr arrived at the Royal
