LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 2, 1829.

The Oxford Election is over, the result has been
fatal to Mr. PEEL, and we have now the satisfaction
of congratuNing the University on a Representative
every way worthy of them. The talents of Sir R.
IN4l4s,whether considered with reference to his tolera-
tion, his eloquence, his wit, or his learning, are exactly
pq 4 Pa►' with those of the majority of the D.D.'s
And the M.A.'s who returned him, In one thing,
however, these latter have the advantage ; they are,
generally speaking, older than the sagacious Baronet,
fttlti there is therefore a greater hope that they will
the sooner be summoned from this sublunary sphere
to that haven of eternal happiness to which their
Virtues loudly call them. Oxford wine, and Oxford
dinners, and Oxford suppers, will, we trust, do their
(hay in this respect.
Meanwhile Mr. PEEL, never so great as at the
Present moment, has ensured, by his defeat, the
sympathies of all those whose good opinion it is
worth while to preserve. They cannot but feel
that he is a sufferer in the best of causes, that he is
4 victim to liberality, candour, and independence.
Indeed, if we have any fault to find with him, it

is, that he has parried his disinterestedness to a
degree beyond what prudence would warrant,
Why did he resign at all ? Why did he not ra-
ther stand on the high tenable ground of right,—
of juitice.77of common sense—of expediency ?
Why did ho aliow a doubt to, be insinuated
respecting his conduct ? He was either right
Or wrong—it is thus he should have looked at
the smcstion—if right, why should he resign ; if

wroiv, why should he trive to be re-elected ? With
WI our admiration of this gentleman, we cannot but
feel that he has been over-sensitive in this portion of
his Public conduct. His resignation has taorded a

mirk for his enemies to aim at. Before, like ACHIL-
-4; he was invulnerable, but this has been the weak
Part ip his heel, and it is here he has been wounded.
But it may be urged in his 4half, that in represent-
.ing Oxford, he was, hi fact, representing the High
*Protestant Church. So he was : but never wa3 he
4°.scessful, never so judicious in his exertions to
preserve that Church is when die {e-
pounced his former intolerance, and publicly declared
the necessity of Catholic Emancipation. On this
Pcint, therefore, as well as on the former one, his
'')ldOct, thougti dictated by the noblest sense of
honour, has been--we regret to say it-77injudicious,
Nevertheless there is this great good attending
his defeat, that it will inspire him to new exertions.
It will sever him effectually from the cause of
bigotry—sharpen his energies—rouse his pride—his
scorn—his contempt for his former coadjutors—and
enable him with a sound head and a clear conscience
011,0 x, himself unreservedly into the arms of the
Liberals.—" In hoc sign() 'Olivet P 4

' CONSTANTINOPT.E, .Tatr. 26.
•,. While public attention was directed to the progress of
the -flegocistions for the termination of the affairs of Greece,
and to the consequence of the pacific overture made by
tieia to the Porte, and no news from the theatre of war
expeeted, a report was suddenly spread on the 18th of
/M ¶llllntafe (an inconsiderable one indeed) gained by the
144141tenitir Nouslitiiik, at the foot of the Balkan. The
._.fc:lloWing 'are the particulars, as tai:arithey are yet known :

lid.iiit; which was occupied Lay the Rqsaiane, drove them
from

the piece, and obliged the garrison to retreat into the
InGique,' where they defended themselves vigorously till the
loth set fire to the building, and the Russians perished
; I'bßf thesword or in the games. An attack by the

The Porte, it is 541,1, epli,il to. the overtures of France
and England, resirectiog il,epaeitioation of .Greece, Ui it it
is ready to enter into f,esll mgociations upon the ha-es laid
down in the letter of the IL is Effendi to the Ambassadors of
those two Powers, inviting them to return to Constanti-
nople, which refer to the protocol of the 16th November,
1827, which negociations might be carried on, if not in
Constantinople itself, in one of the Prince's islands, or in
some other place not too distant from the capital. Mean-
time the Porte is said to have promised not to make any
hostile attacks, during the negociations in the Mores, on
those islands which the Powers have taken under their
protection. The caravan of the pi!grims to Mecca set out
on the 24th instant with the usual solemnities, from
. Scutari, on its way to Syria and Arabia.
The most profound tranquillity prevails in the
capital, and the Government feels itself so secure that
many of the Janissaries, who were still in confinement,
have been lately set at liberty. The apprehensions, too,
which the Russian blockade had at first excited, lest a
scarcity of corn should ensue, have gradually vanished, since
by the measures of the Government there is a sufficiency
of bread, so that the Porte is reported to have sent orders
to Smyrna that the ships laden with corn, which have
arrived in that port, shall not land their cargoes. We also
learn from Smyrna that Admiral Dandolo has demanded
and obtained the release of the Austrian ships unjustly
captured by the Greeks, and carried into Egina.

BUCHAREST, FEB. 2.

We have received no positive information from the Da-

prices of provisions still continue to rise.

BERLIN, FEB. 14.

The Estates of the March of Brandenburg have made a
respectful application to the King, in which they ask per-
mission to erect a monument in Berlin to Frederick the
Great. The King has, indeed, expressed his satisfaction
at this application, but replied that be had himself long
since entertained this idea, and had already given directions
to the Ministry on the subject.
Our Funds rose after the Speech of the King of France
to the Chambers.

The King's Speech on the opening of the British Parlia-
ment has not made so unfavourable an impression, because

it had been expected that it would express more decided
hopes of peace.
Baron Alexander Von Humboldt will set out in April, on
his journey to Russia, for which he is making the necessary
preparations.

LONDON, FEB 10.

A fortnight ago I sent you an extract from the Minutes
of the Conferences relative to the continuation of the nego-
ciations respecting Greece, and I send you to-day the docu-
ment relative to the delivery of a declaration of the Ailed
Powers to the Porte. I intend to send you in the sequel,
for publication in your Journal, the other papers on this
subject.
" The French Plenipotentiary has signified that the
military expedition resolved upon by the protocol of
19th* July, 1828, has effected the (Elect and immediate
object, by putting an entire end to ho,tilities in the Mores,
and obtaining the complete evacuation of that country by
the Turco-Egyptian troops. He then submitted several
projects' contained in a memorandum, the object
of which is to effectually secure the countries where
peace has been restored by the Alliance, against any
• new invasion at the moment when the French troops
are about to leave them. Ti.e plenipotentiaries of Great
Britain and Russia, after having examined the projects
proposed by the plenipotentiary of France, after due con-
sideration, signified in separate notes, which of the pro-
jects they thought the best to be adopted. It was then
agreed between the three plenipotentiaries that it shall be
left to the French Government to judge, when, on eva-
cuating the peninsula, it is not necessary to keep there for
a time a certain number of troops ; that the Morea,
the adjacent islands, and those commonly called the
Cyclades, shall be placed under the provisional pro-
tection of the three Courts till the fate of those coun-
tries shall have been regulated with the Porte, without,
however, meaning in any manner to prejudge the question
of the frontiers to be finally assigned to Greece, as this
question is to be decided in the negociations with Turkey,
which that Power will be immediately invited to renew.
It has also been agreed that the Allied Courts shall, with-
out delay, intimate to the Ottoman Porte, by a declara-
tion which his Excellency tl.e Ambassador of the Nether-
lands at Constantinople will be requested to deliver to it,
that they take the Morea, the adjacent islands, and the
Cyclades under their provisional protection.

Extract of a private letter from Mexico by the
mail this morning, dated Mexico, Jan. 8:
" This is to go by an express with letters for tlae Rinaldo
packet, which is to wait for the arrival of the Conducta
at Vera Cruz, and will probably have en board about one
million dollars. This city is in a perfect state of tranquil
lity, and all the other states have conformed to the altera-
tions which have lately taken place here. There appears
no probability that Pedraza will be the next president.
The Chambers have opened, and commenced their sessions
on the Ist inst. Some changes of Ministers are likely to
take place, and the government is entirely federal and re-
publican. The Conducts, while at Puebla, was plun-
dered of about 200,000 dollars. In all the other states
tranquillity has been preserved. The expulsion of the Spa-
niards will probably take place; the shops and warehouses
are in full business, but the sales are very trifling. For
bills on London there are buyers at 39 40.

By the following communication, received this
day, from Ireland, it will be seen that the spirit of
mischief still actuates the Brunswickers—and more
especially the parsons, if we may judge of the body
at large, by the Blackamoor tricks of an individual.
Every day proves more and more the indispensable
necessity of the great and all-atoning measure which
the Government is about to bring forward :
(EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.)

" A party of I?ibbonmen went into a village, Urossmo-
lina, near Sligo, to demand fire arms. They were pur-
sued O'Connell's police,' the Villagers. One of
the ribbonicen was apprehended: on washing his fare,
which had been blackened, he proved to be the con of a
Parson, a Brunswicker, of that neighbourhood."

By the Mexican Mail, we have advices that
GUERRERO was elected President ;—and that a
Conducta was plundered on its way to Vera Cruz
of 160,000 dollars,

Lord MANNERS shortly stated the grounds upon
which the Court below proceeded in its judgment
on dismissing the Bill, when
The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed the judg-
