LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 17, 1829.

The Debate in the Lords last night, though
short, was yet very important. Lord Col,-
cilEsTErt, with a modesty, or rather ignorance
of generalship, which is quite amusing, wisltsd
to know from the Duke of WELLINGTON ghat
watt the exact plan laid down with respect to the
great measure of Emancipation, in order that
the Intolerants might defeat it. The Duke
Was too learned for the Noble Lord, and chose
rather to assure him that the measure would be
brought forward with effect, than satisfy him as
to the time and manner of doing it. The opi-
nion at present is that early next week the Bill of
Emancipation will be submitted to Parliament—
iMmediately after the passing of the Association
Suppression Act.

We think Ministers act very wisely in settling
the Emancipation measure as soon as possible,
for little business can be carried on in Parliament
till it is decided. Mock-petitions and false
alarms will be daily got up for party purposes
While there remains the shadow of hope for the
ultra-Brunswickers. But once let the Bill be
Passed, and the wonder will be—where is the
danger ?—and wherefore our apprehensions ?

In the Commons, some spirited remarks were
made by Dr. LUSHINGTON, on a petition being
presented from the .English Catholics—but we
have no room for observation.

Mr. PEEL, from the exertions making by the
friends of liberality, has every chance of being
re-elected for the University,
of Oxford. His
return would be the most patriotic act which
the University has done for the last century.
Some of the Intolerants are setting up Sir R.
• INaLts—but we hope the Baronet las too
much good sense to be made a cat's-paw of by the
mutinous tools of subserviency. As the Heads
°f the Church say that the Interests of the
Church and State are one, is it not worse than
11Y to divide them ? We have no doubt that
the University will follow the proper course-
41d that in due season.

The Paris Papers are barren of political news.
They Contain no intelligence from the East, ex-
cept the reinforcement of the Russian fleet in the
Mediterranean, by the addition of one ship of the
line and two heavy frigates. We should not be
surprised some of these days to hear that the
Russian fleet, taking advantage of a favourable
mind, should attempt to steal through the Dar-
danelles into the Black Sea. The Emperor
NICHOLAS would thereby insure two objects--
first, the safety of his fleet, should lie persist in
the war against the remonstrances of England—.
and secondly, his fleet could facilitate the opera-
tions of the army, both on the European and
4siatic coasts of the Black Sea.

The Hamburgh Reporter, of the 10th inst.,
asserts, though the three great Powers are very
desirous for peace, yet that Russia has made a
very positive declaration respecting the continua-
tion of the war unless her demands are satisfied.
The sole object of Count INlATuscEwwz's
journey to this country is said to be to declare
to our Government, that unless the PORTE ad-
mits the free navigation of the Black Sea, and
pays large indemnities for the expences of thQ
war, that Russia will not listen to any mediation
through any other Power, but prosecute the war
vigorously. If NICHOLAS persists in his inten-
tion, which seems very likely, he may reckon
on more than Turkish obstinacy before the cam-
paign is brought to a conclusion, and long be-
fore his Eagles reach Constantinople. The in-
terests of England and Russia are clearly at issue
in the decision of the next, campaign. If Russia
succeed English commerce must suffer,—and
can the Duke of WELLINGTON hesitate when
the question touches so nearly ?—NICHOLAS
must pause if England acts promptly :

BRANDENBURG, FEB. 6.
While the three great Powers are acting with the great-
est zeal and unanimity in the pacification of Greece, they
are said to differ very much in their views with respect to
the pacification of Turkey; and as a fourth great Power has
taken up the cause of the Turks, it is very likely that the
fifth Power will take part in the negotiations. Russia is
said to have made a very positive declaration respecting
the continuation of the war, and there is a report that the
Emperor Nicholas will come this winter to Berlin. It is
said that instead of General Noslitz, Major-General Von
Pfuel, will go this year to the Russian head-quarters.

MOLDAVIA, JAN. 19.
Two Russian military chests, with 140,000 silver
rubles, have been lately conveyed through Moldavia under
escort. One, it is said, going to Bucharest, the other to
Varna. The conveyance of the latter may be attended
with some difficulties, as the communication between Varna
and the other fortresses is very insecure.
The district of Fochschani has been ordered to furnish,
in ten days, a certain quantity of biscuit for the army, and
the hay, which is still to be found in different places, is to
be sent in as soon as possible.

STOCKHOLM, JAN. 30.
The young Prince has been baptised in the name of
Oscar Frederick, and his Majesty has given him the title
of Duke of East Gothland.

BERLIN, FEB. S.
The exchange of couriers between Berlin and Paris,
London, Vienna, and St. Petersburgh, has, for some
time past, been extremely active.

lIANIBURGH, FEB. 10.
According to letters of the 23d ult. from Vienna, the
sole object of the Count de Matuscewicz's journey to Lon-
don is to declare to the British Cabinet, that unless the
Porte admits the free navigation of the Black Sea, and
consents to pay large indemnities for the expences of the
war, Russia will not accept the mediation of any Power
to treat for peace, and that she is fully prepared to resume
hostilities with greater vigour than ever. The Court of
Vienna, it is added, has received a communication to that
effect.

BORSEN-HALLS, FOUR O'CLOCK.
The favourable courses received from London have main-
tained those of our place. Anglo-Danish and Austrian
Metalliques were more particularly in demand. The Po-
lish Loan has been since at 96k. Letters from St. Peters-
burgh of the 31st, which arrived to-day, represent the dif-
ferent exchanges as on the decline.

The .Allgemeine Zeitung of the 10th inst.
contains some news from the lonian Islands, in-
dicative of some piecaution, if not alarm, as to
the approaching campaign in the East. Sir
FREDERICK ADAM is said to have received
orders to enlarge and put the fortifications of the
lonian Isles in the best state of defence. Some
apprehension is entertained in Corfu that the
Russians may prove more successful ill the next
campaign, and that therefore it would be the
interest of England either to promote a peace
immediately, or if unsuccessful, to send a fleet
to restrain the Russians from interrupting the
navigation of the Black Sea :

ANCONA, JAN. 26.
The Greek Government receives from the French troops
the places occupied by them in the Morea, and is taking
measures to provide them with the necessary stores. Col.
Fabvier is to have the command of the troops of the line
and the fortresses ; he will make a tour of inspection, and
take measures for fortifying the Isthmus of Corinth.
Sir Frederick Adam, who maintains an active corres-
pondence with Londow, is said to have received orders ac-
curately to survey and to enlarge the fortifications in the
lonian Islands, a measure which is calculated to give birth
to many reflections on the prosecution of the war in theEist.
For, however little value is attached in England to the advan-
tages gained by the Russians, and however the valiant re-
sistance of the Turks may be extolled, some apprehensions
seem to be entertained of the opening of a second cam-
paign—because, considering the short distance of Varna
from the Ottoman capital, and the advantage which Russia
may derive from the co-operation of its fleet in the Black
Sea, it cannot be dissembled that Constantinople is easily
accessible. , The English nation, however, will not wait
with indifference for the result of an operation which it
conceives would endanger its dearest interests. The send-
ing of a powerful fleet, either to induce the Sultan to ac-
cede, or to support him against the Russians, is accordingly
the wish of all the English here, and, as they say, of the
majority of the English nation.
