SCOTCH SEQUESTRATION

.Thomas Baird and Co., Glasgow, power-loom-manufac-
turers, April 14 and 2S, at twelve, at the King's Arms
Inn, Glasgow.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL 11, 1829.

Fite Catholic Relief Bill passed last night with a
triumphant majority of 104. The Earl of ELDON,
as a matter of course, entered his most decided pro-
test against it ; and, in the course of a long speech,
made up of more than his usual ingenuity, a speech
of point, in which pathos and humour, anecdote and
information, were blended together in a strange he-
terogeneous mass, asserted, over and over again, that
the country would be for ever undone as a Protes-
tant country if the measure passed into a law.
Numerous speeches followed, none however of any
particular note or character, if we except the Duke
of WELLINGTON'S reply, which as a piece of reason-
ing was close, condensed, and pertinent; and, as
an answer to the captious objections of the Ultras,
was irresistible. We give a specimen of the style of
his reply to some untenable remarks unguardedly put
forward by Lord ELDON. " The Noble Earl is mis-
taken in supposing that this measure would be at-
tended by any possible danger to the Established
Church. By this measure the Established Church
is untouched, and the Catholic Religion in this
country left in the same state as it is in at the present
moment. All that this measure does is, to admit
Roman Catholic Peers to this House, and Roman
Catholic Members to the other House of Parliament.
When the Noble Lord talks thus of the power of
the POPE, he seems to ind►►lge in a strain similar to
that which he adopted some time since when he
talked so much of the power of the common law to
put down the Catholic Association. The Noble
Lord did not speak of such a power existing in the
common law of the country while he was himself a
Member of the Government. Oh no; his plan then
was Let things go on as they are in our time, and
when we have done we will leave it to our suc-
cessors to set matters right:—(Hear, hear, and a
laugh.)—That was the system which the Noble
Lord advocated and adopted, and which has finally
been the cause of bringing about a state of things in
Ireland to remedy which a measure of this kind must
be passed, or it will be impossible, I say, to govern
that country.—(Hear,hear.)"—After the Debate on
the Relief Bill, which was not closed till two o'clock,
the Irish Freeholders'Disfranchisement Bill was read
a third time and passed. ..

It will be seen by tho Gazette of last night, that
the Right Hon. ROBERT GORDON (brother to the
Earl of ABERDEEN) has been appoir►ted Ambassador
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the
Sublime Ottoman Porte. This appointment has
been expected for some time, and its having now
received the official approbation of his MAJESTY,
may be looked on as in a great measure settling the
affairs of the East.

We extract the following from the Allgeineine
Zeitisng of the 4th instant :

VIENNA, 31ARCH 30.
The Austrian Observer contains accounts from Con-
stantinople of March 10, which, however, do not furnish
much novelty.
A few days after the return of the Sultan to Rodosto,
on board the steam-boat, during which the weather was
very unfavourable, he was seized with an indisposition
which confined him to his chamber for some days, under
the care of his physicians. Ile is now, however, quite
recovered, and appears again, as usual, on horseback, .at
the head of his troops, on which occasion he himself
commands.
What has of late chiefly engaged the attention of the public,
is the general adoption of the military costume by the Mussul-
man inhabitantsof the capital. After a Grand Council, held
March fl, in the Palace of the Porte, a hatti sheriff of the
Sultan was read on the following day at the Porte, and on
the next Friday firmans in the mosques and courts of jus-
tice, by which all Mussulmen are enjoined to wear on
their heads instead of turbans, shawls, and red caps, such as
have been for sore time past introduced hit() the army ;
they are further of tiered to lay aside all rich furs, and
instead of the usual garments, to assume the military cos-
tume, and in general to avoid all luxury in dress, and to ob-
serve the greatest simplicity in that respect.
The Porte endeavours to remedy the difficulty of
obtaining supplies caused by the blockade of the
Dardanelles by conveying corn from Smyrna and other
sea-ports by land on camels. Several Turkish ships that
have arrived here from the Btacit Sea have brought consi-
derable cargoes of corn from the Asir,tic coast ; yet the
quantity and quality of the bread made by the bikers is
net in proportion to the wants of the poorer classes and
men. The setting in of the Ramadan, at which season
the government is usually very solicitous to procure suffi-
Cient supplies provisions, has not produced on this oe-
`cartion 'the ilesh'ed effect. honed, however, that as

Russian blockade is supposed to he considered in London
as implicating the good taith of the English Government.
The report speaks of insttuctions that have been received

by Bfr. Stratford Canning, and Admiral Malcolth, to in-
duce the Russian Commanders in the Mediterranean to
raise this blockade. The sudden departure of Admiral
Malcolm from Naples, is supposed to be connected with
this affair, but it must owned that all these reports are
much in need of confirmation.

The Russians gnd Turks may continue their pre-
parations for war, but they will not we think have
recourse to immediate hostilities, when it is known
that England and France are disposed—nay re-
solved—to maintain peace in the East of Etnope•
The happy settlement of the Catholic Question wil
give increased influence to the already acknowledged
supremacy of England. Peace is for the happiness
of man, and nations should learn to cultivate its
blessings.

The French Papers contain no authentic news.
A short article from Vienna has some speculations
upon the state of affairs in the East, but they
are unworthy of any serious remark, with one
exception, " that if the Duke of WELLINGTON shall
be disposed to assist the Twits, his frank and open
character repels every idea of secret assistance—
he will do it in the face of the whole world !"
And so he will. England has now nothing to
fear—enjoying unanimity at horns, she may speak
out abroad, and the nations will honour her voice.
