LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 5, 1827.

Mr. CANNING has had a long audience with
'the RING this morning.

The conduct of the Ultras is such as to re-
Inove all delicacy, all hesitation, on our part, in
commenting upon it Each debate shows more
distinctly than the preceding one, that their fury
and chagrin are unbounded at the triumph of
their opponents. But whatever may be the
case with Honourable Members or Noble Lords,
there is no Parliamentary usage which obliges
8 to disguise our honest conviction that
little credit is to be attached to their assertions
of having acted without concert, and upon •
grounds of public advantage. We are satisfied
that many individuals of the party would only
be deterred by selfish motives, from bringing the
State into any amount of peril, in hopes that
such a crisis might give them a chance of regain-
ing those situations which they have lost through
the most egregious folly.
The speech of the Marquis of LONDON-
DERRY is more like that of a bravo than
°I a statesman. He seems desirous to de-
cide at Chalk Farm what he feels will
go against him in the Senate, but we sin-
cerely hope that no provocation will induce his
opponents to risk lives of high value to the
State, against those in being lavish of which
the
possessors would be almost excusable.
'And here we cannot help compli-
M,_ enting a Noble Marquis, who is at least Lord
440NDON DE RRY'S equal in personal courage, upon
the creditable and temperate manner in which he
replied some nights ago to the unhandsome re-
rnerks of his former friend. Some men with-
-014 one-tenth of Lord ANGLESEA'S courage
fight have endeavoured to make the most of what
they had by getting into a duel, but the Noble
Marquis prefers serving against his country's foes
e,n such a field as Waterloo, to violating her laws by
Lord
his fellow-citizens for private wrongs.
Lord KING was particularly happy in flinging back
en Lord LONDONDERRY the name of rubbish
which that Noble Lord very elegantly ap-
plied to the new Peers. Lord KING observed,
that the term rubbish was by builders applied
to what was removed, and not to new ma-
terials.

In the House of Commons, Sir THOMAS
I'ETHBRIDGE made one of the most laughable
speeches which we have ever read, that is,
'e was laughed at from its commencement
t 0 its conclusion, but what was really interest-
el3lg for the House to know,—Mr. PEEL'S brother
ethe
the reasons of his withdrawing from
" Government that powerful and efficient sup-
port with which he had honoured their prede-
cessors in office.
But it is on the 11th of June that Mr.
‘'AisiNING'S Administration is to encounter the
"hole brunt of their opponents' fury. This
to nothing but skirmishing ; but by that time
the
Ultras will have such speeches ready, and
'Fill have got up such a number of petitions
against
the Catholics, that the account of
their victory will be like C7ESA R'S, veni,
vici. They will by that time, per-
pie their friends that Mr. CANNING is the
(It't's Legate, or Vicar-General of the
king-
eln, with every chance of succeeding in
le time to the Papal throne. In short there is
1° falsehood, no baseness, of which we do not
suspect some Orangemen capable, with a view of
turtlingl, Public feeling against the head of his
AJEsTv's Government. But we are confident
that the SOVEREIGN will not desert the Minister
whom, he has chosen, and who has given the
most solemn assurance that he will respect the
prejudices of the Nation on the Catholic
thti"tion, 'till reason aed argument convince
ep of their mistake. Supported by his KING,
I.lu by all the intelligence of the country
ING. , Mr.
ohAl'IN must soon disarm all but factious
rPosition

The French Papers of Wednesday, and the
Voile dated Thursday, have been received.
Their contents principally relate to discussions
upon the late conduct of Ministers in dissolving
the National Guard. Some people think, and
Perhaps with good reason, that there is more
than meets the ear in all this exercise of Mini-
Rerial 'authority or precipitancy, while others,
and by far the greater portion, blame the con-
duct of the Executive as a piece of frantic bra-
vado in revenge for their defeat on the law for
suppressing the liberty of the Press. One thing
is clear, that the French Ministry have trans-
gressed
,the rational bounds of their power,
and have irretrievably committed themselves
With the people if not ultimately with the SOVE-
4tIGN. To disband a body of men amounting to
fifty thousand, from the mere irritation of the
l'a,lornent, betrays a want of prudence which
gie_l(iNG may feel cause to lament in correcting
the petulance of the Ministry. There can be no
`4oubt that prompt measures are absolutely neces-
e 41" Y upon certain occasions, but not for the partial

be

ter `nroused to intense agitation, and the Minis-
of nataY disc that it is easier to raise a storm
Iftal ntent than to pac-'y those angry

spirits which hie own folly has called into fearful
action. The apprehension of the Government
may be inferred from their ulterior acts—the dis-
honourable conduct manifested in opening all
the letters before leaving Paris. This speaks vo-
lumes. Extracts will be found in another column.

We received this morning the Allgemeine
Zeitung, of the 28th of April. The Porte, by
accounts of the 10th, had not agreed to the
terms proposed by the European Powers respect-
ing Greece. We are not sorry for this, because,
if Lord COCHRANE strike a decisive blow,
the Greeks will obtain far better terms, by
dint of their owhi arms, than if purchased
through the questionable intercession of such
lukewarm friends as Austria and others, who,
had they been really sincere, might have accom-
plished for Greece six years ago, what they now
profess to do by the idle notes of diplomacy,
which are as much regarded by the SULTAN as
the murmuring waters of the Hellespont. If a
man wants to have his business well done, he
must do it himself: and the same rule will apply
to nations as well as individuals :--
(BY EXPRESS.)

CONSTANTINOPLE, Arnim 10.

The Porte is still in the same situation with respect to
the negociations with the European Powers, and has not
agreed to any concessions. The accounts from the Archi-
pelago are said to be still unfavourable to the Turks, though
there is not yet any authentic account of the raising of the
blockade of the Acropolis, and of the total defeat of the
Smokier Reischid Pacha. Should these two events be
confirmed the affairs of the Greeks would assume a very
different appearance, and things might take such a turn, that
we should see the Divan itself seek for that intervention of
the Christian Powers which it now declines.

VIENNA, APRIL 23.

The Austrian Observer of this date ridicules the man-
na• in which the German Journal published at Paris
amuses its readers with all kinds of idle and absurd reports,
and, as a specimen, quotes some particulars given by that
Journal on the 13th April, under the head of a private
letter from Dresden :—Among these statements we find
that Austria assembles two armies of observation of 6,000
men each, one in Transylvania, the other in Italy : the
former because Austria having joined England and Russia
respecting the affairs of Greece, is bound by treaty to have
this force ready t.) assist Russia, if the Porte will not agree
to the proposals made to it. The army of observation in
Italy is to be assembled becausa Spain, supported by France,
has views upon Portugal. As for the King of Spain, it
is affirmed here (at Dresden) that he will seek an asylum
in France, where he lived very comlbrtably under the reign
of Napoleon.
VIENNA, Aram 23.—Metalliques, 90. 5-16. ; Bank
Shares, 1084.

We have received by express Lisbon Papers of
the 23d and 24th of April. They contain two
official articles from the department of Eccle-
siastical Affairs and Justice : the first addressed
to the Chancellor of the Tribunal called Casa de
Supplicacao, with a copy of the Deeree of Am-
nesty, and ordering all trials now pending before
that tribunal, implicating persons to whom the
dispositions of that decree are applicable, and all
those causes of the same nature which shall be
henceforth referred to it by the local Magistrates
and Tribunals, shall be tried in preference to all
other causes ; the other is addressed to the ',ler-
regidor of the Comarca da Guarda to the same
effect : and that the spirit of perverse ingratitude
and disloyalty may not abuse this act of Royal
clemency to forge or perpetrate new acts of se-
dition and revolt with the hope of impunity, her
Highness further orders, that ifany person or per-
sons shall in future dare to propagate seditious
opinions, or commit acts tending to excite re-
bellion and renew the horrors of civil war, the
Magistrates, in preference to all other affairs,
shall institute proceedings against them in the
shortest time possible. Similar orders are sent
to all the Corregidors in the kingdom :

LISBON, APRIL 21.
To-day, in a General Meeting, the Committee appointed
to present an opinion respecting the propriety of the Bank
taking the whole or a part of the lean of 4,000 contos, and
also with respect to the increasing of its capital, gave their
opinion, the substance of which is, that the capital should
not be encreased, and that the Directors should be autho-
rized to take such part of the loan as they should judge
compatible with the resources of the Bank, on such terms
as they should judge advisable.. This opinion was adopted.
We know also, that the Co:nmittee declared, that after
making all necessary examination, they had found the
Bank in the best possible order, and very considerable sums
in its coffers, sufficient to meet all the current payments,
and to take a good part of the loan of 4,000 contos.

We request our Readers' attention to a para-
graph copied into this day's SUN, from the Dub-
lin Freeman's Journal, and headed " A Vestry
held on a Tomb-stone." It is really a most ori-
ginal specimen of unadulterated assurance : any
thing, in fact, but an imitation of " Hervey's
Meditations -among the Tombs." A Colonel
BAGGOT, it seems, assisted by a brother or two,
a Protestant Clergyman, unconnected with the
Parish, a Serjeant of the Police (a neat subject
for Vestry meditations), together with a few
similar Solomons, agreed to hold their synod over
the body of a poor Papist, for the purpose of ap-
pointing Clerks, Churchwardens, and, in short,
all things requisite for the support of a Protestant
Parish Church. So far, so good : the first appoint-
ment made was that of Churchwarden—the second,
that of Clerk to. the Church—both which offices
the intelligent Reader will pronounce highly
indispensable, particularly when he comes
to reflect that there is no Church in the
Parish. Now this being the case. we think
it but common justice that the appointments
should correspond with their occasion, that
they should assimilate to each other by a beau-
tiful mid sympathising harmony ; and that,
therefore, as the Church is visionary, so also
should be the salaries of its satellites. Unfortu-
nately, however, the clerk has taken care to
secure four months' pay beforehand—a point on
which we lay the greater stress, as it affords a
very felicitous sample of the Orange mode of
transacting business in Ireland—in that very Ire-
land, which Mr. PEEL, with his usual ineffable
but most unstatesmanlike modesty, declared to
be as well governed as any country could possibly
be governed.

Calcutta Government Gazettes from the 4th to the
2lith of Dece—ber, have been received. The Ga-
zette of the 7th, contains a long, and rather interesting
account of a public breakfast given by the King of Oude
to his Excellency Lord Amherst, on the 21st of Novem-
ber, in his Majesty's encampment on the Ganges, near
Cawnpore ; and also of a visit of state paid by the King to
the Governor-General, on the 20th. A plan has been
circulated at Calcutta, for the formation of a United Ser-
vice Club, which is intended to be formed of officers, mili-
tary and medical, of his Majesty and the Company's Ser-
vice, of seven years standing—Captains of the Company's
Service, and members of the Church or Bar. The sub-
scription! is to be 100 rupees (about ten guineas), for those
who reside within one hundred miles of Calcutta, and 25
rupees for those at greater distances. Besides ordinary ac-
commodation, the Club is to provide beds for members ar-
riving at the Presidency.

COM M I RCIAL.—(From a Norfolk Paper of April 3.)
A letter from St. Jago de Cuba, Feb. to, says, our Intendant
some time back took upon himself to open this port as a
deposit for productions of the United States, admissible in
the British Islands, and promulgated a decree to that effect,
subsequently he has received counter irstructions from the
Superintendant at the Havannall, and has been obliged to
revoke the decree, so we are on the same footing as before.

THE FUNDS.(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

Consols opened this morning at 82 k, and immediately
after the market became brisk and advanced to 824, buyers,
for a time, but have since become heavy, and have fallen
to 81i 2, looking gloomy. India Bonds fully maintain
their price of yesterday, being 73 5 ; and Exchequer Bills
are 47 8 pm. In the Foreign Funds both Colombian and
Mexican Bonds remain extremely steady at 32:1 3, and
6Si ; Brazilian 61,12- 2 ; Portuguese Bonds are a little
lower, being 773- 8. The private letters from Lisbon ex-
press their fears that the Apostolic party are not so com-
pletely put down as to cause them to lie free from alarm
from that quarter. No alteration has taken place in the
price of Shares.
