LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 19, 1827.

It will be perceived by our Parliamentary report,
that Mr. CANNING, last night, brought forward Re-
solutions embodying the principles of the Bill which
has perished under the blighting protection of the
Duke of WELLINGTON, but restricting their opemtion
to the amount of Corn now in bond, or on its way from
Canada. We rejoice that His Majesty's Ministers
have thus evinced, even to the satisfaction of
their enemies, a determination to promote the best
interests of the country, and when thwarted by
factious ignorance, in what they conceived the best
course to pursue, have sought for no selfish triumph
by exposing their opponents to the inevitable odium
of leaving the Corn Question in its present; state,
but have made every sacrifice of feeling to duty, by
suiting the Bill to the grovelling prejudices of the
mongrel Opposition with which the country is at
present cursed. We are convinced that few will
dissent from Mr. CANNING'S opinion which he stated
last night, and the perusal of which we would recom-
mend to all those who are concerned. " I can
conceive," said the Right Hon. Gentleman, " no
degree of faction more inexcusable, more blame-
able, or more wicked, than that by which a subject,
touching the most vital interests of the community,
is made the means of political attack."
As to the correspondence of the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON with Mr. HUSKISSON (which will be found
in another part of our Paper), we shall, at
present, offer no remarks, but it would re-
quire no ordinary degree of obtuseness or wilful
blindness to escape coming to the conclusion, on pe-
rusing it, that his GRACE had better relinquish, with
all possible speed, " the crooked paths of politics,"
and rest on his cars during these " piping times of
peace," till it shall please Providence to render his
exertions necessary in that department where alone
he can look for fame. 1

The French Papers of Saturday and the Mode
dated Sunday have come to hand. The Moniteur
promises next day to lay before its readers the re-
report made to the Chamber of Peers on the Budget.
The produce of the indirect taxes exceeded, during
the month of May, 1827, the produce of the same
month, 1825, by 4,298,000 francs, and that of May,
1826, by 489,000 francs.

The Etoile contains no news. The Journal des De-
bats has some pointed and very sensible observations
upon the recent treaty between France and Mexico,
which we stated yesterday. It appears the French Mi-
nistry are afraid to call things by their proper names,
lest they offend the royal delicacy of Spain, which
is particularly tender upon matters touching the
independence of the South American Republics.
This treaty, therefore, they style a Declaration, in
order perhaps to afford them a wider field for dis-
playing their abilities at equivocation, in which diplo-
matic art they can shuffle the cards with a faci-
lity truly astonishing to less gifted individuals. But
we apprehend that Mexico will not consent to this
questionable arrangement—her independence must
be fully recognised, or she can hold no terms with
France upon an honourable footing. If she compro-
mise her virtue in the outset, she can never recover her
dignity, though she may regain her natural rights. To
be respected by her neighbours she must first learn
to respect herself, and her character will only be the
more esteemed in proportion to her lofty estimate of
national liberty—the only true criterion of a virtuous
and mighty people.

Neapolitan Rents, 75f. 80c.

Milan Gazettes to the sth inst. have been re-
ceived. They only contain an account of the inau-
guration of a monument dedicated to CANOVA,
which will be found in another column.

Hamburgh Papers to the 17th inst. have been re-
seived. They contain some further repetitions of
the actions before Athens, in which the Greeks are
said to have lost severely.

The Allgenteine Zeitung of the 12th instant re-
ceived this morning contains no later intelligence
respecting Greece. It appears that some vessels
which arrived at Odessa from Constantinople, so
late as the 29th May, had heard at the latter place,
on the 25th, that severe fighting took place before
Athens early in the month, in which both parties
claimed the victory, but the brave KARAISKAKI was
said to have fallen, with 800 Greeks. This may
unhappily be considered as confirmatory of the ac-
counts already received through other channels :

onEssA, mAY 29.

Above 60 vessels have arrived here from Constantinople,
the last of which left that capital on the 25th of this
month. According to the private letters which have been
received by them, very sanguinary engagements had taken
place at the beginning of this month, under the walls of the
Acropolis, between the Greek army under Cochrane,
Church, and Karaiskaki, and the Turkish army besieging
the fortress, under the Seraskier, Redschid Pacha ; accord-
ing to the Greek accounts, the brave Karaiskaki, and about
SOO Greeks, Were killed, and the loss of the Turks is said
.
to be great proportion. Greek letters further affirm,
that Athens Is occupied by the Greeks; and consequently

the Acropolis still holds out. But according to the Turk-
ish accounts, the victory was entirely on the side of Red-
said Pacha, and there is no hope left of the deliverance of
the Acropolis. We must wait for further information.

The French Government have taken active measures to
bring the Dey of Algiers to a sense of justice ; the Provence
line of battle ship, Aurore and Cibele frigates, and two
small vessels having sailed from Toulon on the Bth instant
for Algiers; and two other frigates sailed a few days
since from Brest for the same destination.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

Consols opened at 85i and remain at present at this
rate, scarcely any fluctuation having taken place since the
commencement of business ; no alteration since yesterday
in India Bonds or Exchequer Bils. The Foreign Funds
are without any important feature. The proceedings in
the House of Commons on the Corn question last night
have been the chief subject of conversation in the City this
morning, and they are universally hailed as a satisfactory
proof of the determination of his Majesty's Ministers to use
every effort to put in effect the main provisions of the
Corn Bill.

TIME AND CIRCUMSTANCE.

MR. EDITOR,—It is remarkable that none of the news-
papers have yet observed that the ATTORNEY-GENERAL of
March, 1795, who is stated by the late Lord KENT-ow, in
the memorable correspondence lately published, to have
concurred with him in the opinions delivered to his late
MAJESTY, that there was no legal or constitutional objec-
tion, arising from the Coronation Oath, to Catholic Eman-
cipation, was a personage of no less importance than the
present Jomf, Earl of El.noN.—l am, &c.

THAMES TUNNEL COMPANY.
(THIS DAY.)

A Meeting of the Shareholders in the Thames Tunnel
Company was held this day, at the City of London Tavern,
JOHN SMITH, Esq. M.P. in the Chair._

The Directors' Report was read, which entered at length
into the nature of the accident, and the particulars of the
efforts made by Mr. Brunel to remedy it. The amount of
shares on which the Company had called was 50,595/. ;
their engagements, exclusive of the expense incurred by
the late accident, were 12,9001. The Directors had de-
termined to make a further call of 5/. per share. The
Act for forming the Company empowered the Directors to
raise their capital from 200,000/. to 250,000/. They re-
commended an adjournment until the water was entirely
removed from the tunnel and shaft, when a full statement
could be afforded.

The Engineer's report was then read, which described
the nature of the ground where the water had rushed
through, and detailed the means taken to stop the progress
of the water, concluding with a statement of his confidence
in the means he was adopting for that purpose. Both
these reports were received, and after some conversation,
the Meeting adjourned.

The KING has signified his intention to re-
ceive the City Address when he comes to town to prorogue
Parliament, which it is expected will be in the course of
next week.

A private letter from Paris, states as follows:
—" We received yesterday (May 26) a letter from
Mademoiselle Sontag, in which she mentions that she has
broken off her engagement at Berlin, and placed herself
for the present under the direction gf the Managers of the
Italian Theatre. She has also, it seems, broken off her
projected marriage, so that instead of one noble admirer,
she will secure a thousand."—Le Furet.

We regret to notice, that while attending the
practice of the artillery at Guernsey, on Monday, Colonel
Mellish was thrown off his horse, and received a severe
contusion on one of his temples. It appears that the
animal stepped into a rabbit hole, fell down, and, on rising,
trod on its rider's head. The Colonel was conveyed to
his residence, in Sir John Colboneo ovriage4.Bouthomr-
ton Herald.
