LEEDS INTELLIGENCER.

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—In your Paper of Tuesday the 20th inst.,
you have unwarrantably applied allegations, in a report
of certain proceedings in the Vice-Chancellor's Court
•on Monday, to the present state of the Leeds Intel-
ligencer. A little more attention to the cause in
question, or a desire not to do a political opponent
private Injury, would have enabled you to perceive
that the statements made on Monday refer to the
above in the years 1818, 1819, 1820 and 1821. We
beg to inform you, that since the Leeds Intelligencer
came into our hands it has progressively advanced in
every respect, and can now boast 4 higher circulation
than at any previous period since its establishment,
while the success of the Paper, as a medium for
advertising, is attested by the fact that in this day's
number of the IntelAgencer there are nearly eleven
columns of Advertisements. We request you, in
justice to us, to give a place to this communication
at the earliest opportunity.—We are, Sir,
Your most obedient ..g.tr..ntls,„
ROBINSON and HERNAMAN,
of the Leeds Intelligencer.
Leeds, Nov. 22, 1817.

Last night a grand performance of Sacred
Music took place at Christ Church, Newgate-street, on the
occasion of the opening of a new Organ, which was attended
by the LOUD MAToit and the LADY MAYOSES3, and a
most numerous and highly respectable audience, the church
being crowded to excess in every part. The performances
were conducted by Messrs. S. Wrsi.Ev and hcoa ; the
vocal parts by amateurs belonging to the Cecilian Society.
The choruses were numerous and complete, chiefly taken
from the Oratorios of " Sampson" anti the " Messiah."
The " Cuckoo and Nightingale" by Mr. S. JACOB, and the
extemporaneous performances of Mr. S. Wastxv, fully
proved the opinion entertained of the instrument being one
of the finest in the metropolis. It was built by Mr. HILL
of Tottenham-court-road.

To the honour of virtue be it said, that a
man's greatest misfortunes are generally occasioned by his
crimes.

Another Inquest was held at Guy's Hespital,
on the body of WILLIAM CHAMBERLAIN, four years of
age, who was left by himself in his parents: lodgings, in
Vine-yard, Tooley-street, on Tuesday ; and in endeavour-
ing to get a potatoe out of the fire, was so dreadfully burned
that he expired the following morning. Verdict—Acci-
dental Death.

A case of parricide, as we have just learned,
occurred in Letterkenny on Sunday week. The deceased's
name was Boon *GRAN AGHA N-(he was town crier and
bailiff of the manor)--his unnatural son's, K x NNEDY G RA-
NAGHA N. The former was much addicted to drink, and
was apt to quarrel with his family when in that state, and
it was a fracas of this kind, which led to the unhappy re-
sult. The family thought to conceal the facts, and to have
it believed that he died a natural death, but a woman named
CATHERINE IC-ENl4Env gave such information as led to a
Magisterial investigation, when the truth was elicited. The
son has absconded.—Derry Journal,

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24, 1827.

We are utterly at a loss in what manner to
account for the non-arrival of intelligence from
Constantinople, and still more so, if possible,
for no additional advices having been received
from Sir EDWARD CODRINOTON. According
to every reasonable calculation, the account of
the destruction of the Turkish Fleet would reach
Constantinople by the 28th October ; but sup-
posing that it had not been received there till the
3(1 instant, still there is ample time since that
date for the conveyance of despatches from either
of the Ambassadors to Paris sr London. None
of those impediments, however, which may
possibly have occurred in the conveyance of
despatches from Constantinople, can be sup-
posed to exist with respect to the receipt of
further advices from Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON.
For as his first despitches contained little
-rnurrniail.ire account of "action, and
events of the utmost importance to .the general
question as affecting Greece, and tlie relations
between Great Britain and Turkey, probably
occurred immediately afterwards : aria as it
may also have been of importance to „tn.
municate many circumstances relaiive to the
state of his squadron after the actich,-
it cannot
be supposed that Sir EDWARD did not send off
further despatches to the Admiralty -y within three
or four days subsequent to the data,
of his former
letters. Why those despatches have not been
received, is, therefore, altogether unaccountable.

Our extracts from the Paris Papers of
Wed-
nesday furnish many details of the uisturbances
which have taken place in Paris. Tl.ey appear
to have been solely the consequences\ which
always ensue when large mobs, under.the,wi.,
ence of popular feelings, are collected, and lit, to
have had any definite objects. The sold&ery,
however, were called upon to act, and ditv so
with decision and effect. Their firing
"PM the
populace may have put an end to the riot, brit it
will only increase the general detestation io-f a
Ministry who have shown an utter disret.,rard
for the rational liberty of the people, and 4 11,
have not hesitated to shed blood to keep dol,two

the spirit which was rising against them, when-
ever it manifested itself in any manner which
would give them a pretext for doing so. There
seems every reasonable expectation, however,
that their reign will shortly be at an end, as the
Constitutional Candidates have triumphed over
the Ministerial in a large majority of the places
from which the returns of the Elections have
been at present received.
The Papers are without any news from other
quarters. According to the (lours Authentique
the Funds closed on Wednesday at 67f., after
having been at 06f. 40c., as stated in the
extracts which we gave yesterday from the
Gazette de France, which quotation was there-
fore no mistake, as surmised by the Courier.

The Journal de St. Petersburgh reached us
this forenoon. Intelligence of the fall of the
fortress of Erivan reached St. Petersburgh on
the 3d instant. That important place fell in six
days after the trenches were opened. We sub-
join extracts :

ST,PETERSBURGIH, NOV. h.

On the Slat of October, in the evening, his Majesty the
Emperor left this capital to visit the fortress of Dunaburg.
On Saturday the 3d of this month a courier arrived
here. who brought the news of the taking of the fortress of
Erivan. Our brave troops made themselves masters of that
important place after the trenches had been opened six days.
The garrison, amounting to above 3,000 men, and Hassan
Khan, the Governor, are prisoners of war. The Offices
who brought the news of this fortunate event only passed
through St. Petersburgh, and hastened to carry the parti-
culars to his Majesty the Emperor.
On the 30th October, his Majesty addressed an Ukase to
the directing Senate, to the effect that his Majesty had per-
mitted Prince Labanoff Rostovsky to resign the office of
Minister of Justice, on account of his bad health, retaining
the dignity of Counsellor of the Empire, and the whole of
his salary ; and that, till his successor shall be appointed,
Prince Dolgorusky, his adjunct, shall act as Minister of
Justice.

On the same day Prince Labanoff received a Rescript
from his Majesty, expressing his regret at the necessity of
his retiring on account of his health, and allowing him, in
consequence, to resign, with the sincere desire that he may
enjoy repose after his long sad arduous services, and that he
may be able still to be useful to his country as a Member of
the Council of the Empire.
The number of ships that had 'arrived at
Riga up the Mk Oct. was 1,355
Sailed 1,801
The Minister of Foreign Affairs gives notice to the public
that—

" All persons who, by the Convention of Akerman, have
claims to indemnity for losses which they have sustained
through the Turkish Government, are to send to St.
Petersburgh, before the lst (13th) December next, the
statement of these claims, and the legal proofs of their va-
lidity, after which date no application will be received.

The .Allgenzeine Zeitung of the 17th inst. has
also been received this forenoon. It would
appear that the Editor of the Journal de Frank-
fort has been required to state, that the Censor
has been severely reprimanded for allowing two
parentheses to appear in the article dated
Florence, November 5, relative to Sir
EDWARD CODRINGTON'S report ; and that
no inference is to be drawn from those ob-
servations, because they expressed only the
individual opinion of the EMPEROR. We shall,
from particular circumstances, abstain from
FRANKFORT, Nov. 16.
making any remark on this subject at present:—

With respect to the remarks inserted between paren-
theses, in the 2d column of the second page of the Journal
de Frankfort, No. 318, in the article Florence, Nov. 5, in
the report of Admiral Codrington, which took place on
the 20th Oct., near Navarin, as well as those which were
likewise between parentheses, at the end of the same ar-
ticle, the Editor has been required to publish the following
declaration :

" That the Censor has been severely reprimanded by the
Senate, and that no inference is to be drawn from the two
parentheses, because they express only the individual
opinion of the Emperor."
Prince Frederick of Pruisia, the King's nephew, arrived
here to-day. _ _

VIENNA, NOV. 1 1.

The Imperial Court has been plunged into the greatest
affliction by the melancholy news of the death of her Ma-
jesty the reigning Queen, sister to his Majesty the Em-
peror.
The Austrian Observer contains an extract from the
Universal Gazette of Greece, relative to the destruction
of some Turkish vessels by the Greeks, in the Gulf of Le-
panto, and the capture of three Austrian merchantmen,
laden with currants, for Trieste.

The filet of these parentheses expressed some wonder
that " the terms of the armistice between Ibrahim Pacha
and the English and French Admirals had not been made
public, as it might then be judged whether it included ope-

The Francis Freeling Packet has arrived,
with a Jamaica and Bermuda mail. She sailed
from Jamaica on the 2d of September, from
Vera Cruz on the 29th, from the Havannah on
the 18th of October, and from Bermuda on the
28th of October.

By this opportunity accounts have been re-
ceived to the 24th September from the city of
Mexico. The provincial legislature had taken
some proceedings for the expulsion of the old
Spaniards, which had occasioned in the latter
considerable alarm, and the consequence had
been that bills had been in extensive demand
for those parties who were anxious to withdraw
their property. The Act, however, passed by
the Provincial Assembly, had not been sanction-
ed by the General Congress, but had been re-
jected,
being considered unjust in principle.—
The general political state of Mexico is stated to
be excellent. A Conducta was appointed for
the end of the month (it is said . the 25th)
for Vera Cruz. The letters state that money
was extremely scarce; the exchange had been 41d.
but recovered to 42d. a 43d. It does not appear
that there were any preparations to forward
specie on account of Government to this
country. There was no man-of-war at Vera
Cruz on the sailing of the packet. An expec-
tation was entertained at Vera Cruz that his
Majesty's ship Aurora would shortly arrive
there ; in the mean time His Majesty's sloop
Pliiades had not made her appearance from

Jamaica. The Government had not eon6l."""t°
the loan that was some time ago spoken of. Thr -
writer of one letter, after stating the scarcity!'
money, observes, that were it not for the 5-141-'
sent from the Mines to the Mint, there We U)
,I
not he a dollar in Mexico. The stateineoll
01
relative to the mining speculations are repre:
sented to be very favourable, particularly th
from the United Mexican and Ilea' Pei
Monte Mines.
