HAMB URG PAPERS.

CONsTANTINOPLE, OCT. 11.—(From a letter.)—
Though it was known that the ratification of the
Treaty of Peace was sent to Adrianople on the
28t1t ult., the Government has not yet published
any thing on the subject of the peace. The news
said to have been brought by a Russian Colonel,
who arrived here on the 7th, that the Turks had
cut to pieces 300 Russians in a village west of
Adrianople, has excited some apprehension, which
it is hoped will prove unfounded, lest the Russians
may again advance.
The Russian fleet has quitted its station off the
Dardanelles. On his departure the Russian Ad-
miral caused the Turkish flag to be hoisted, tog( -
ther with those of England and France, and saluted
with 21 guns. The English fleets are said to have
then fired a similar salute and to have sailed away,
leaving only six men-off-war off the Dardanelles.—
On the 29th ult. the French frigate sailed, and was
followed on the 2d inst. by the English brig and the
cutter, which, however, returned on the 7th with
Admiral Malcolm. His audience of the Sultan on
the Bth, to whom he was introduced by Sir Robert
Gordon, was unaccompanied by etiquette, and lasted
above an hour. The Sultan was remarkably gra-
cious to the Admiral, and has not for a lour
appeared so cheerful as on that day. Several
Turks have lately been executed, on account of the
conspiracy of the Janissaries. Two yotmg men met
with this fate on the 27th September. who had im-
printed some marks peculiar to the Janissaries on
their arms.

From the 26th of September up to to-day 117
ships have arrived here from the Mediterranean,
with various cargoes. Among them are, 46 Aus-
trian, 32 English, 30 Sardinian, three Russian anal
Tuscan; about 50 of them have alrF:ady sailed for
the Black Sea. An English couri.a. arrived by land
on the 7th. A smart shock of an earthquake was
felt here on the 27th September, at half-past eight
o'clock in the morning.

DINNER TO SIR E. KNATCIIBULL.

Yesterday evening a dinner was given at the
Star •Inn, Maidstone, to Sir E. Knatchbull, " as a
mark of approbation of his consistent support of
Protestant principles, and hie able and strenuous
exertions during the last Session of Parliament, to
preserve inviolate the integrity of our Protestant
Constitution." To the requisition for this political
dinner, the names of several Noblemen and Gentle-
men were subscribed. Among the former were the
signatures of the Earls of Winchilsea and Guildford,
Lords Le Despencer,Bexley, and Tenterden, &c.—
Expectetions were, up to a late hour, entertained
that the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's
Bench would have been able to make the discharge
of his judicial functions in town consistent with his
personal attendance at this dinner, but this expecta-
tion was disappointed. The other signatures to the
requisition were those of the Baronets C. Dering,
Maryon Wilson, Courtenay, Honywood, Filmer,
Dyke, Oxendun, Bridges, Geary, and Brydges, Mr.
Wells, M.P., of speech-making notoriety, Mr.
Pluniptree, Mr. Stratford, and other gentlemen who
figut-ed away at Peneudea-heath, were likewise en-
gaged in the promotion of this meeting. The Earl
of Winchilsea was particularly active in getting up
the dinner, having written circulars through the
county, to beat up for recruits on the occasion.
At live o'clock the Earl of WINCHILSEA took the
Chair; on his right sat Sir E. Knatchbull, and on
his left Captain Wingfield Stratford. There was
also at the principal table Sir James Brydges, the
Rev. Sir J. Filrner, Mr. Wag, M:P., and about
half a dozen country gentlemen. Of the persons of
rank who signed the requisition there were no others
in attendance. About 250 sat down to dinner.
When the cloth was removed, the CHAIRMAN
gave " The King," three times three; " The
Royal Femily," three times three; " The Army
and Navy."
The Citentmen next said he rose with the most
heartfelt satisfaction to propose the health of the
lion, Baronet who had this day given them the
pleasure of his company—(Cheers)—and with many
thanks to hisn for affording them this opportunity of
evincing the high sense which they entertained of
his great services to the county, and more particu-
larly in the manly, upright, honest, strenuous, and
consistent support which be gave, during the last
memorable Session of Parliament to those Protest-
ant priocipl, s which the county of Kent had so
firmly, honourably, and conscientiously maintained,
because they had been taught, and justly taught,
that these principles were essential to the mainte-
nanee of those civil and religious liberties which
were, in the eyes of their country and the world,
the pride and boast of their native land.—(Cheers.)
—lt it were necessary now to descant upon the fate
of those great principles, lie should regret to find
himself a Chairman on this oecasion, and equally so
were be called upon to eulogise and develope the
neinerous and pregnant services of his honourable
and much-esteemed friend; Nor would lie further
describe file powerful efforts during the last Session
than to say (.arid his Hon. Friend's presence re,
strained him from saying more), and to say boldly,
that if a thorough knowledge of their late Constitti-
-114):;—(liear, hear),—a full sense of its value, and
the nececeity of its permanency, could entitle any
)112,n to the cordial support of Englishmen, there
waa no man to who they stood more indebted than
to their worthy and high-minded Representative, Sir
E. Knatchbull.—(Applause.)-}Boldly and manfully
did his distinguished friend stand in the breach,
when those who were solemnly intrusted with the
mainteataee of the Constitution surrendered it
either upon: opposed principles et' political expe-
diency, or to flu' threats of a desperate faction, who,
stiii unappeased by that fatal concession, loudly
threatened the overthrow of the liberties of this
kingdonte--(Applause.)—He would pot continue to
dwell oe the fatal measure of last Session, further
than to say, that with a just respect for the public
life of his Hon. Friend, and a heartfelt esteem for
his private worth, be trusted his great example
weeld not be lost on others, whiie the country
could toiil reckon en his honest and active cervices
in the eatiee of consistency and independence, lie,
however, felt it r;ght to say, that whatever opinion
prevailed upon the great question on which they had
differed, they were sound now to give obedience to
the law against which they had heretofore contended.
Sir E. KNATCHBULL, in Interning thanks for
this mark of their approbation, had not words to
express his sense of so unmerited a compliment.—
In the sittestion in which they were Pow pieced,
perhaps it was better to say little; he could not,
however, help realm-king, that when last they met
in that room their prospects were different. Then
the expression of Protestant feeling was so strongly
(tabled, that they had all hopes of a different result
from what followed : their fond anticipations had
been defeated, and it was only left for them to de-
plore the result. It was his good fortune, at the
late cram, to find a coincidence of opinion among
his constituents in Kent.—(fieer, hear )—And
when the Minister of the day had can:we...end his sen-
timents, and sought his support for a change in the
Consttution, be had refused obedience—he had dice
sewed tiem the dictation of the Minister, and re-
fused to be party to a proceeding which his own
judgment, as well as that of his constituents, re-
jecteeL—(Cheere. He entreated his constituents
to weigh the motives which had governed bins in
this course of action. 04 he submitted to dicta-
tion on so important a ueeesure, epon the mere vo-
lition of the Government, bow would be have been
afterwards placed? The Goveromeot Jeri& equally
say "we approve and confirm thane principles of
free trade (as they were called), and we require
you to submit to the .opipions which we entertain,
although we know you ware always opposed to
them." Again, they might say, We have to re-
consider the question of the currency t' these were
vital questions, If upon principle be yielded to one
he :night be called upon to concede the whole; and
sin suer; a process of conciliation or submission, the
end would be that he would forfeit his own inde.
pendence, as well as that of the county which he
had to represent---(Cheere.)—Wheneyer might be
the course of public life now remaining fa; him, he
would never surrender his own independent opinion.
Reverting to the all-absorbing subject of the Catho-
lie question, all he should say was this,—that much
as he bad dissented from die policy of Mters on
tbet occasion,)e cordially hoped their (the Minh.
wen') view evnelet eventually prove the more core
sect : the cause which he and others had opposed
had triumphed—they had 4eplored such a result;
nevertheless, it was their duty, pow that the ques-
tion was carried, to avoid any (entree p, f proceeding
which might give their opponents the enteteofuge of
saying, that it was they who.had marred ,the 4ekee
ficent intentions of the Legislature, and prevenked
the consummation of the real intentions of the Go-
vernment. The MinL,ters and tie* supporters stood
responsible for the suave of that weasure : not a
word, not an opinion ought. to fall from terse who
had differed from them, to defeat the fair progness
of the realization of their hopes. If it gave trans
of
to long-suffering Ireland, then the boon was
beneficent : at all events let them avoid giving a
handle to their opponents, by seeming to step be- I
nveen them and their delivery, while they at the
sire time should not relax in maintaining true Pr-
otestant principles. They were bound to remain
firm at their posts, and discharge the duties which
they had conscientiouly undertaken. How this
great question was to rest, be knew not; still he felt
himself bound to counsel them, that if what had been
done was proved lo.be unproductive of goad, they
ought to be ready to evince a determination to main-
tans inviolable the civil and religious liberties a
their country.. The lion. Baronet concluded by
proposing-e-" Prosperity to the neunty of Kent."—
(Lmid applause.)
The next toasts. from the Clear were o The
health of the Archbishop of Canterbury," and 01113
eneinory of one who ought to be ever dear to ever.),
vele Briton—our good and Protestant sovereign,

the late King George M." which were thank with
loud applause.
Sir E. KNATCEIBULL next craved permission to
;rive a toast, which was " The health of their Noble
Chairman," upon whom he pronounced a glowing

panegyric.
The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, said he had
not words to express sufficiently his sense of the
compliment bestowed upon him, which he knew was
only given becaue he had endeavoured strenuously
to maintain their Protestant Constitution. This was
the time to stand forward; dangers of no ordinary
character were overhanging the country,—the im-
partial administration of justice, the pride and boast
of England, wa, compromised. If men, like him-
self, were lost iii amazement at the overthrow of
their Constitution, how much more must they be at
this tampering with what remained of it, awl which
was the admiration of surrounding nations, from the
glory of the Protestant principles which formed its
staple support. He could nut help adverting to the
conduct of the Government upon this business. He
drew. a wide, and he hoped a just distinction be-
tween those who had conscientiou,ly advocated those
changes in the Protestant Constitution of these
realms, and that Government or Administration
had ousted the others,and made the profession of Pro-
testar.tism their stepping-stones to office—(cheers)—
and upon that profession obtained the too confiding
support of the great body of the Protestants of the
empire, which confidence enabled them to pave the
way to the betrayal of the rights and liberties of
Englishmen, and the overthrow of their Constitution.
—( Hear, hear.)—There were consistent men who
had always said this measure ought to be carried :
they gave their opinions conscientiously and fairly,
and having given them they incurred no further re-
sponsibility. Not so the present Government : they
were (as indeed they ought) to take the glory of paci-
fying long-suffering Ireland. Where were the proofs
of the success of that measure ? The bane of Ire-
land were the principles of the Church of Rome.
What had they done to abate the evil ?—where
were the benefits ?—where were the results ? Look
to the declaration of the great body of magistrates
of the county of Tipperary, among whom would be
found the names of many of the constant friends of
Catholic Emancipation—look to Sligo—look to
Roscommon—look to Clare, and look to Cork ?
Look, in fact, to the whole south and west of Ire-
land—to that savage and atrocious conspiracy lately
developed by the southern Commission, and then
ask for what has the Protestant Constitution been
abandoned—what is the value of this boon of con-
cession ? Do not the very men who said that what
was Catholic Emancipation would satisfy them—
would give them the ultimatum cf their wishes—do
not they at this moment seek and create fresh causes
of agitation, and contend, not for the equality of
civil rights, but for the share of the Government ?
—(Hear.)—The Noble Earl then vindicated his
own consistency, and declared his cordial wish that
the measure which lie had opposed would, by prov-
ing beneficial, defeat the anticipations he had formed
from it. Nevertheless, the great political eclipse of
the last session overshadowed him with awe. There
had been no movement of similar magnitude or im-
portance since the Revolution of 1688, and it was
to be deplored that the voice of the people was not
heard on the occasion. The Noble Lord then said
that his honest and disinterested advocacy of Pro-
testant principles had been maligned under the idea
that he was actuated by selfish family motives re-
speeting the representation of the county. He was
I one of those who always thought that a son of a
Peer ought not to represent such a constituency—
that it should be done by an independent commoner
—one like Sir Edward Knatchbull.—(Applause.)
PI.UMTREE next rose to propose as a toast
" Protestantism, the. foundation of all civil and re-
ligious liberty, and national prosperity," which was
reeeivpd with great applause. The Hon. Gentleman,
then descanted on the merits of his toast, by ad-
verting to the irruption of the glorious Constitution
of 1668 ; the glaring and shameless inconsistency of
the Government, in the encouragement which they
openly gave to the idolatry and superstition of the
Lady of Babylon; the breaking down of the line of
demarcation between the religion of Christ and of
anti-Christ. lie emitted a great eflusiow of hopes
for the amelioration of Ireland, not from the growth
of Popery, which was the chief curse of that
afflicted and unhappy land, but from the extension
of spiritual missions,. which would give_e—not like
" the Belief Bill"—real relief by emancipating the
poor deluded people from the bondage of priestcraft.
It was lamentable he remarked ip conclusion, that a
little money was wanting for.this hopeful purpose,
and if the faithful gave it, the result would be the
dispersion of darkness and the d'ffusion of light
through the moral gloom of afflicted Ireland.
In the midst of some songs, which were inter-
spersed among the entertainments of the evening, a
young man rose from the extremity of one of the
tables, and insisted, after some local interruption, to
be heard while he proposed a toast. He said he
was 3 good Protestant, and, as such, had fully con-
curred in the business of the evening. All he wanted
was, to propose the health of Lord Heldon.
The CtimnAtAN, no doubt wishing to keep Lord
Eldon's health at the cross, table, intimated that it
was on his list, and would be given in due time.
The proposer, however, remaining unappeased by
this mark cf courtesy, insisted on having his toast
put, assigning 3s a j,-ep.smi that lie got his living by
the law, and that be held his principles as identified
with those of Lord Heldon, who was nurtured in
the cradle of the law and the Constitution. E
The toast was then given, with three times three.
Mr. WICIMASI MARTO than proposed the health
of the University of Oxford, upon which ancient
body he pronounced a warm panegyric for their
steadfast attachment to this Protestant Constitution.
Oita Aepothar left the room at nine o'clock, when
the speaking appeared to devolve on persons " of no
mark or likelihOod."

We are grieved to hear, that on Saturda:
last, notice was given by the hosiers, to the cotton frame-
worl4-4nittera, of a further reduction in wages?—Notting-
ham Review.
The St. Katharine Bock Company have been
engaged for some time past in preparing fur the accom-
modation of steam-boats a wharf which lies to the west-
ward of the lock entrance, anti possessing a river frontage
of 4botlt 180 feet, where passengers will be able to land
and embar4 at all periods of the tide without being sub-
jected to the risk of boat conveyance ; convenient waiting
rooms for passengers are c•.on,atracting, and arrangements
in progress for the landing and shipping of carriages, horses,

the wharf are secured lay Ae of parliament, and those on
the land side will afford unexampled nogyenience. The
contractor having completed the Wharf w4ll, was proceed-
