LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 9, 1929.

The French Papers are particularly barren of
news. The situatin of the French army in the
Morea excites the attention of the Government
and the sympathy of the people. A private
letter from Navarin sneers at the idea of recog-
nizing Greece—or of civilizing the Greeks—and
treats these things as fine chimeras which may be
realisedin a hundred years. But the question is,
will France persevere in the attempt ? and, if she
felt the disposition—can she without her finances
suffering ? We think not.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 2d instant,
contains an article from Constantinople, which
refers to an extract of a letter from Mr. STRAT-
FORD CANNING, written apparently for the pur-
pose of learning the private sentiments of the
PORTE, [with respect to the restoration of the
Greek State. But he did not get much by his
motion. England is said to have consulted the
interests of the PORTE, by opposing France in
her desire to extend the boundaries of Greece to
the Gulph of Arta and Volo, mill to have only
agreed to include the Morea and the Cyclades
in the new state. The REIS EFFENDI, with
characteristic evasion, hinted that he was only the
organ, not the soul of the Ottoman Ministry, but
gave it as his own opinion that he could not but
connect the restoration of Greece with the over-
throw of the Ottoman Empire in Europe, and as
such that the Porte could not give its consent :

CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. 28.

We hear that an extract froth a letter of Mr.
Stratford Canning to the Ambassador of the Ne-
therlands has been communicated to the Porte, in
which Mr. Canning speaks of arrangements relative
to the restoration of the Greek State. He affirms
that the English Government has again defended
the interests of the Porte, and opposed the desire of
France to extend the boundaries to the Gulph of
Arta and Volo, and has only agreed to include the
Morea and the Cyclades in the limits of Greece,
which has been provisionally assented to by the
other two Powers. In order to prepare the
Divan for the official communication which is
soon to be made of this resolution, and at
the same time to learn its opinion, Baron Von
Zuylen made a -confidential communication of
the letter he had received to the Reis Effendi, and
requested his opinion on the subject. Though the
Reis Effendi very politely expressed Lis acknow-
ledgments for the confidence of the Ambassador of
the Netherlands, he is said to have given an evasive
answer to the question, " What the Porte thought
to do when the resolution of the Powers was com 11
-
municated to it, and it would find itself under the
necessity of either assenting to it or seeing Greece
recognised without its consent." And he is said to
have intimated that he (the Reis Effendi) was only
the organ, not the soul of the Ottoman Ministry, and
must hear his colleagues before he could form an
opinion or give an answer. As for himself, he did
not doubt the good intentions of the English Go-
vernment, nor would he cast any reproach on that
of France, only he could not conceive the re-esta-
blishment of a Greek State in that form, as he had
a very different notion of the Greek State, and
could not but connect it with the overthrow of the
Ottoman Empire in Europe. The seat of the
Greek Sovereigns had net been in Napoli or
Egina, but in Constantinople, and if the Porte
had been indebted to its navy for the possession of
that capital, it must expect to lose it through the
increasing marine of the inhabitants of the Archi-
pelago. How then could its assent be required ?
It should seem from this that the Reis Effendi is
not disposed to recognise the Greeks, and that
the Porte will reject every proposal to that effect,
thought it must greatly desire an accommodation
with England and France, and would make many
sacrifices to see Messrs. Cant:;ng and Guilleminot
return to Constantinople.
The works for the defence of the capital are still
carried on with great activity, and though no
stranger is permitted to go near them, it may be
seen from a distance on what a great scale they are
executed. In general the measures of the Govern-
ment show that it is resolved to carry on the next
campaign with energy, and that it has not been
lulled asleep or frightened by what has hitherto
taken place.

The St. Petersburgh Journal, of the 23d
December, contains the following :

AMSTERDAM, JAN. 6.

The Batavia journals contain long reports of
skirmishes with the insurgents up to the end of
August, in which, whenever they stood their ground,
they were always defeated by our troops.

ST. PETERSBURGII, DEC. 23.

The Tiflis Gazette says,—" The incessant at-
. tacks of the Turks on the Russian detachment in
the pachalick of -Naze, and the news that Emir
Pay ha had received considerable reinforcements and
some pieces of cannon, induced Major-General
Prince Tchavtchavadze to quit his position in the
village of Patios, and take up a new one between
Toprak-kale and Diadine. On November 9, in the
evening, he left Patnos, accompanied by 160 Ar-
menian families, who earnestly requested to be al-
lowed to follow our troops. As soon as the enemy
heard of his departure, they occupied the village

of Patnos, and burnt it. On the march the enemy
made several attacks with superior force on the rear,
but were constantly repulsed; and after a most fa-
tiguing march of two days, the detachment reached
the village of Karaklis, between Toprak-kale and
Diadine. In the attack on the 30th, when the ene-
my was 4,000 strong, he lost 200 men, and our loss
in killed and wounded was 19. Thus by merely
defensive operations, all the attempts of the Turks
in the Pachalik of Bajazet, in the environs of Erze-
room, the centre of the principal force of Asiatic
Turkey, have been defeated. The other provinces
subdued by our arms enjoy perfect tranquillity, and
the officers who are entrusted with the administra-
tion of them have gained the confidence of the in-
habitants. Every precaution has been taken to
baffle the attempts of the enemy, aud the increas-
ing severity of the winter secures us for a long time
against any important enterprises on the part of the
Turks."

The following are said to be the names of the
deputation who arc to accompayty Mr. O'CoN-
NELL to take his seat in Parliament. We think
that the Member for Clare would just do as well
without them. If he can take his seat according
to the established rules of the House, there is no
need of such a body guard, however respectable—
and if he cannot, it is folly to give his friends so
much unnecessary trouble. We wish from our
hearts that Mr. O'CONNELL could sit, but as
the Jaw now stands we are afraid he cannot.
The rules of the House arc as inexorable as

The recall of the Marquis of ANGLESEA,
the more it is considered, appears the more cal-
culated to throw a damp over all the sanguine
anticipations we had begun to entertain of happi-
ness and peace to Ireland. It is too plain an ex-
planation of the views and intentions of Go-
vernment, and indicates a bias to the side of
oppression which we cannot too deeply deplore.
The Marquis of ANGLESEA has added to his
other exploits, which were truly glorious on the
field of battle, the far more glorious exploit of
having conciliated the Irish by his moderate and
just counsels. In his government he maintained
a calm and steady course, neither deviating to
the right nor to the left, amid the ferment of ex-
tremes still holding the centre point—fraternizing
with no party, but using his power for the at-
tainment of even-handed justice, without regard
to other objects. Now, what are the conclu-
sions which press upon the mind when we see
such a ruler recalled—his administration branded
with the stigma of ministerial disapprobation—
and all because he has expressed a different sen-
timent from that contained in the Duke of
WELLINGTON'S letter, in regard to the time
merely for bringing forward the Catholic Ques-
tion ? For this small offence he is dismissed. It
is thought sufficient to out-weigh all the mei it of
his administration. He has conciliated the Irish
people—he has maintained peace in the country—
but he has ventured to express a difference on a
minor point with the Duke of WELLINGTON,
and for this the country is to be deprived of his
eminent services, and Ireland is to be exasperated
by what has the appearance, at least, 4)f a hostile
measure. The great difficulties which the Duke
of WELLINGTON points out as belonging to
this measure are, we have long been convinced,
purely imaginary. How quickly did the sup-
posed difficulties in the way of repealing the
Test and Corporation Acts disappear when
Ministers gave the word ? The difficulties, the
part-strife, the dying agonies, and mental
struggles of the Orange faction, are all oc•
casioned by the uncertain and vacillating
policy of Ministers. Let the Duke only de-
clare that he considers the repeal of Catholic
disabilities essential to the peace of Ireland, and
he would see at once into what an insignificant
I compass the opposition to this great measure.
would be instantly brought. The Orange party
may clamour in their clubs, but they arc essen-
tially weak and contemptible, and once put them
in the balance with the Irish people, and they
will mount up with the lightness of a feather.
They may grieve and be discontented that they
can no longer oppress their fellow-subjects ; but
they have no power—they can do nothing but
utter groans of despair, as the halcyon sera of
light and liberty dawns upon oppressed Ireland.
This faction derives all their consequence from
the patronage of Government. Let '.flat only be
once withdrawn—let Government declare openly
for freedom and fair policy—let the axe be only
laid to the root of oppression—And the tree will
fall lifeless on the ground, and never more bear
its deadly fruit. The party strife is solely caused
by the delay in the settlement of Ireland. All
the factious clamour arises from the uncertain and
secret counsels of Ministers. Give the Irish
people their just claims, and from one end of
the land to the other will be heard the voice of
gladness and content. The few may grieve fer
the loss of abused power ; but the many will re-
joice. The gloomy discord of the Orange
Lodges will be drowned in the general chorus of
national harmony. Before the Ministers of
the country, with the Irish people (a firm
phalanx) for their support, and with justice,

freedom, and policy on their side, all factions
will shrink into their native insignificance, and
hide their diminished heads. The course is,
therefore, plain—the cuurse of tranquillity and
peace ; which we hope Ministers, though rather
erring occasionally and slow in their movements,
will still follow in the end.

New York Papers have been received to the
7th ult. We s;iall give extracts to-morrow.

Montreal Papers have been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house to the

11th ult. On the 6th of that month a meeting
of the inhabitants was held in the Court-house,
to take into consideration the propriety of peti-
tioning the three branches of the Legislature for
an Act of Incorporation of that City. After
some discussion, in which the Chairman, C.
MOFFAT, Esq., P. M'GILL, MOUDELOT,
Dr. NELSON, and 11. GALE, Esq. took part, a
Committee was appointed to obtain signatures
to the three petitions, and the resolution having
been read, and the thanks of the meeting voted
to their Chairman, the meeting adjourned.
We understand from an authentic source, that
the Legislature of Upper Canada will be sum-
moned for the dispatch of business on the Bth
January. By the Papers of that Province we
observe that several Addresses have been pre-
sented to his Excellency Sir JOHN COLBORNE,
on his assumption of the reins of Government.

Boston Papers of the 12th ult., Baltimore of
the 13th, and Charleston of the 6th, have also
come to hand. The Boston Paper of the 9th
•ay, that the intelligence from Port-au-Prince
announces that the Haytian Government have
laid an export duty of 12 dollars per 1,000 feet
on mahogany.

Quebec Papers of the iith ult. have also been
received at the same establishment. Under the
date of the 6th, it appears that the Legislature
were now actively employed and proceeding in
the business before it.

It is said in Washington that Mr. TAZEWELL
is to be the new Secretary of State, and Mr.
CHEVES, Secretary of the Treasury. It is also
rumoured that Mr. VAN BUERON is to go to
the Court of St. James's.

We shall give the examination of Messrs.
REMINGTON and Co. this day in a Second
Edition.

The supplies of Grain have this week accumulate)
greatly, so as to conmitute an uncommonly large return ; •
the quantity of Flour is also considerable. There are some
buyers of Wheat here from the country, but ar they Lope
to purchase at lower prices, they held off for the present;
Wheat, however, must be ►eported ls. to 2s. per quarter
cheaper than on Monday last. Barley continues almost
unsaleable. Beans and Pease are unaltered. The Oat
trade is very dull at Monday's prices. Flour continues
very heavy in disposal.
