NING, OCTOBER 2.5, 1827.

United States first took in that great work must for
ever pass fOr nothing in our eyes. If it be not the
award of justice, tbe,glorious recollection that the
United States recognized them in 1822, must be
struck from history, because England recognised
them in 1825. Mr. Canning's settled devotion to
the principles of monarchy, his constant, and, doubt-
less, his honest conviction of its intrinsic superiority
over all other forms for the. government of man,
followed hinvinto this hemisphere. His official con-
ferenceS with the French Ambassador at London
record his preference of this form for the new States ;
agreeing here with the equally .avowed predilections
of France. Nor is it believed that, to the day of his
death, he abated anything 'of this preference, though
its practical establishment in the new States he
had too much of practical wisdom to pursue.
Hence Mr. Canning's system was not of • his'
own formation, or his own choice; nor did be look
to it as •a system for the world at large ; it was,
thrown upon him by the force of circumsta.nces, and ;
how muck longer it,miglat have lasted, or into what
new or .eeeentric paths it might have sparkled off,
had he .continued in charge of its destinies, is perhaps
not easy, to affirm. He suddenly found himself the
champion of liberalism, certainly without ever having
been its .child.;--unlike' Napoleon,. WhO had been pro-
notmced, by 'a former British' Premier, the child and
champion of democracy. Whilst. he • held this
championship, such is always the political station of
Britain that the eyes of the world turned to him
with alternate hope and dread. He was entitusias-

tically cheered by the friends of liberty everywhere.
They regarded not so much the fortuitous causes

that unexpectedly hivested him with so high and
perilous a championships or the motive, or even sin-
cerity, of his allegiance to its tenets, as the go6d that
he might achieve, whilst exercising it, de facto, with
a fearless spirit and a giant's arm: The same por-
tions of mankind hailed, also in'his brilliant arrival at
the summit of power, under the first Monarchy of
Europe, the triumph of genius over all the obstacleS
that a. gorgeous and proud Aristocracy, which it
eclipsed, threw in its way.
With all our admiration of the mental powers of
Mr. Canning, whether as inherited from nature, or
carried to their highest pitch by the discipline of
businesh and of study ; whether we marked` their
efforts when brought to the most. momentous trials,
or only gazed at them when they dazzled in lighter
ones,.trilth compels us to state, that he was never
the political friend of this country. He was a Briton',
through and through ; British in his feel;ngs,; British
in his aims, British in all his policy and projects.
It made no difference whether the lever that was to
raise tl.em was fixed at home or abroad, for he was
always and equally British. The influence,, the
grandeur, the dominion, of Britain, were the dream of
his 'boyhood ; to establish them all over the globe,
even in.the remote region where.the waters of Co-
lombia flow in solitude, formed the intense'efforts of
his riper years. For this he valued power, and for
this he used it. Greece he left to her melancholy
fortunes, though so much alive to all the touching
recollections and beauties of that devoted land—
because the question of her escape from a thraldom
so long, so bitter, so unchristian, was a Turkish and
European, not a British question. For Britain's
sake, exclusively, he took the determination to coun-
teract France, and the Continent, in Spanish-Ame-
rica. So, for Britain's sake,he invariably watched,
and was as invariably for counteracting, the United
States. He had sagacity to see into the present and
latent' resources of our commercial, our navigating,
our manufacturing strength. Upon the knowledge
of these, actual and prospective, he took his mea-
sures ; and, if we may or do think that they were not
always wisely taken, since true liberality in, the in-
tercourse of nations is in the end apt to prove true
wisdom, still he took them in a spirit that was British.
It is remarkable that, long as he was in office,

.
there is' no one occasion upon which he lent his
sanction to any treaty or convention with the United,
States. That of 1815, one of fair reciprocity as far
as it goes; both as to commerce and navigation, was
the work of Lord Londonderry, on the side of
Britain. Its renewal in 1818 was under the same
auspices. From Mr. Canning literally nothing has
been obtained—no, never; 'though we have held
frequent and protracted' negotiations with the British
Government, during hiS administration of the foreign
bureau. It was he who .openly" disavowed, almost
with contumely, the ,arrangement of the British
Minister, Mr. _Erskine, in 1809, which might have
prevented a war, had it stood. It was he who held
the pen of Great Britain in 1807, when Mr. Monroe
and Mr. Pinkney were in London ; wielding it, we
will not pause to say; how, during moments when
the materials of strife most abounded between the
two countries, and when this country was writhing
under the daily infliction of deadly wrongs. It was
lie who presided over the foreign relations of Eng-
land, in 1824, when the elaborate negotiations of
Mr. Rush also fell through, though the time was espe-,
cially auspiciOns to their success, in that.temporary
alliance of opinion, and virtual concert of action, that
were seen between these States and Britain, against
the arbitrary tenets and incipient military move-
ments of Continental Europe; and although Mr.
Rush, at the very utmost, was instructed to contend
for nothing more than Mr. Pitt would have granted
in 1783, as has been seen lately in the columns of
this Journal. Long ambitious of treading in the
,
footsteps of his great patron and prototype in ,all
things: else, we are here struck with the awakening
fact, if more had been wanting to awaken us upon
this point, that, in the matter of according to our
flag a substantial reciprocity of trade and navigation
in the West Indies; Mr: Canning would not tread
in the footsteps .even of Mr. Pitt. The friend of
Plato indeedbut always more the friend of Britain!
Finally, it was Mr. Canning, who, in 1826, departed
ftom the very pledge that had been given to re-
sume tlie negotiations in the year 1824, and,
standing upon his perpetual desire to promote
more fully the aggrandizement of the British flag
g
in the whole range of colonial, as at every other
point of competition, whatever may have been the
alleged motive of the departure, abruptly closed the
door of 4hose ne oeiations, whilst our Minister, Gal-
latin, was within but a'few hours' sail of the Eng-
lish shores, This Minister, too, in a spirit of the
highest Conciliation on the part of his Government,
had at length been authorised to forego the point for
which it bad antecedently been the duty. of that Go-
vernment to contend (the, very point once conceded
to us by Mr. Pitt)—thereby removing, as was pre•
sunned,
after this rapid review, even rapid as it is, can ima-
the only, obstacle to a treaty. They who,
gine that Mr. Cannino• 'would have stood to any ar-
t,
raugement with us, one single day after its abroga-
tion would have suited his purposes of benefitting
British navigation, unless he had been bound by
treaty to 'stand to it, must, we humhly think, have
more of credtility in their nature than of prudential
and salutary distrust. His very speech
,at Liver-
pool, that went the joyous rounds of our newspapers,
in the autumn of 1823, in which, it will be remem-
bered, how he threw his compliments over the Unit-
ed Stites, as the powerful daughter of Great Bri-
tain, had no other object, and originated in no other
feeling, than ,the hope of leading them captive for
the moment, in order to subserve purposes . upon
which he had deeply meditated, and which he was
then ardently following up, as exclusively British.
But Ife will stop. Mr.,,Canning's name belongs
to history, and we are presuming to touch it whilst
the shock of his-death still rings in our ears. To
departed genius reverence is due. Britain has en-
tombed him side by side with her most illustrious

who knew this highly-gifted man more nearly testify
that his intercourse in' the relations of private and
social life was as attractive as his public career was

as brilliant does but recal the pathetic exclamation of

his earthly ambition—only to die.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
{RECEIVED LAST NIGHT BY EXPRESS.]

(From the Gazette de France, slated Tuesday, Oct. 23.)
PARIS, Oct. 22.--
We have just received the following
letter through our correspondent at Vienna :
CONSTANTINOPT.E, S'EPT. 28.—1 t is reported to-day
that the Sultan has resolved to send the Greek Patriarch
to the MOrea, to negociate with the Greeks. This is the
news of the day, and it is affirmed that this Ministers of
France, Russia, And England, consider this step as the first
concession in this affair.
CONSTAXTINOPLIt, .&I.l`. 22 (av witv 0., ODESSA.)-,.
The Ministers of .the ,Three Pewers continue to show, by
their steady exertions at the Porte, the conciliating spirit
of their Courts. It is affirmed, that the Prussian Mi- ,
ouster, M. de Maltz, who, at the request of the Ministers
of the three Powers, hod consented, as before, to use his
good offices, has induced the Austrian Internuncio, Baron
Ottenfels, who, when the ultimatum was delivered, de-
clined to take a similar step, now to consent to give the
Reis Effendi some conciliatory advice. Though Baron
Ottenfels has, on this ocCasion, made a verbal communi-
cation through his Dragoman, it is presumed that he would
certainly not have acted without instructions, and that
Austria, united with Prussia, may very. probably obtain
concession from the Porte.

SEFT. 25 (av WAY OF BUCHAREST).—Three Russian
ships of war, bearing the commercial flag, have lately ar-
rived from Odessa, and cast anchor at Bujukdere. They
are destined, in case of necessity to take on board the Rus-
sian Legation. A report is in circulation that Ibra-
him Pacha, after an • interview with Admiral Co-
drington, has acceded to the armistice. This report Which,
though there is no proof of its authenticity, has spread ra-
pidly, confirms the hope that is entertained, that the
Porte will yield to the execution of the measures prescribed
by the intervention of 6th July.
~ Tartars, who have arrived from Larissa, have brought
news to the Divan of the landing of the Egyptians, and of
the summons made by Admiral Codrington. The Greek
Patriarch has since had an audience of the Sultan, and it
seems that the Porte means to take advantige of his cha-
racter, not to implicate itself by a concession. _
BARCELONA, OCT. 14.—The insurgents continue to
submit ; between two and three thousand muskets have
been given up at Manresa. The division of operation con.
tinues its march towards Bergs, Vie), and Olot. The
malcontents have abandoned the blockade of Girona and
the district of Lampourdan.
It is reported that his Majesty the King of Spain will
go to Barcelona in the first fortnight of November.

It is affirmed that zYcp dcl Estangs, has made his sub-
mission.

General Arbaud Mison, who has returned from Tarra-
gona, was received in the most affable manner by the King;
who spoke in high terms of the excellent conduct of the
French division at BarcelOna.

OCTOBER 15.—Some attempts at insurrection having
taken place in the province of Biscay, the deputation has
sent against the rebels some columns composed of Royalist
.volunteers,, aid in a proclamation, dated the Bth, has reca-
pitulated the severe measures prescribed by the Royal De-
crees against those insurgents who are taken with arms in
their hands.

A Captain of the claSs called Indefinido is designated as
the author of the troubles Which have threatened, during
some days,.the tranquillity of the province.
Several persons, suspected of having kept up a corre-
spondence with the rebels, have been arrested at Sons, and
conducted to St. Sebastian.

OCT. 16. —An extraordinary courier, who arrived Yes-
terday from Madrid, announced the departure of her Ma-
jestythe Queen for Saragossa.

The Countess of Alba.passed through this city yesterday,
on her way from. Montpellier to Madrid.
Captains Darrango and Chooritto, who had been de-
tained for three months at Corunna, for smuggling piastres,
have just been released, and the sequestration taken from
their ships ; the owners intend to make a claim on the
Spanish Government for-the • arbitrary detention of these
ships wig their officers. •
The Countess of Villa Hermosa and Count Cassa Madrid
are expected every Moment in' this city, coming from
Madrid.

PARIS, OCT. 22.—A correspondent writes to us from
Madrid, Oct. 12 :

" The Queen is to set out, on the 1641, for Valencia,
where the King will go to meet her. Thence their Ma-
jesties will proceed to Barcelona, thence to Saragossa,
Navarre, and the Biscayan provinces, and return to Madrid
through Old Castille.
" The celebrated and rich contractor, Marco del Pont,
who is accused of having supplied the merchants with
money, has been arrested at Madrid.

" His Majesty is still at Tarragona, to which city all
the Bishops of Catalonia are summoned, by virtue of a
Royal Convocation.

Vicki, illanreia, and the district of Talaru, have sub-
mitted. The Royal troops advance towards the north of
Catalonia, without meeting with any resistance.
" On the right bank of the Ebro, Longa has extermi-
nated the bands that have for some time infested that
country."

A letter from Rome states, that in consequence of a treaty
with the Roman Government and the United States of
America, the ships of the two States are to be received in
the ports of each other on the same terms as national vessels.
(From the Constitutionnel.)
MADRID, OCT. 11. -It is asserted by some that the
English hr e advanced our Government a loan of 20,000,000
of reals (250,000/0 destined for the army of Catalonia;
but on what conditions is unknown.

It 'appears that the band of rebels who have arisen at
Alaba still gives the Government some -uneasiness. • An
order has been sent to the regiment of Provincial Militia
of MOnie Rey, which is at Valladolid, immediately to re-
pair to Guipuscoa. It is said that the order for the
Queen's journey to Valencia will appear on the 14th inst.,
and that her.lllajesty will set out on the 22d, and that, ad-
vancing by regular journeys, she will only arrive at 'Valen-
cia on the 30th, where the King will already have arrived.
their Majesties will then repair to Barcelona, and return
to Madrid by way of Lerida" and Saragossa.
Messrs. -aro, Elizaldo, Father Cyrile, and others, Coun-
cillors of the Council of • State, are in great fear, and it
does not appear to be without foundation, for we have
seen certain orders arrived from Tarragona, for the expul-
sion or Arrest of certain ultra Apostolicals, such as the
Marquis de Cardenas, Seca, Galan, and Marco del Pont.

(EXTRACT FROM ANOTHER PRIVATE LETTER.)
' An express has just arrived from' Murcia, where, it
seems, symptoms of insurrection have manifested them-
-selves. The Governor of that town requires the Minister
of War immediately to send him the assistance of troops,
which the latter cannot send him, and it seems that he has
also requested some from. Valencia of General Longa.
BARCELONA, .00T. 13.-The French 29th Regiment of
the Line will t,a-morrow replace the 10th, in its canton-
ments without Barcelona, where it has been stationed ever
since the alarm we had a fortnight back.
I have just beard that the Monet division has entered
Vich; that of General d'Espagne is at Bcrga. The in-
surgents are retiring into the mountains.
It is said that Ferdinand'has received the submission of
Botorno, called the Jeps del Etangs, the real hero of the
faction in Cerdagna.

Abonk sixty soldiers that had been led into the ranks of
the rebels by their officers have surrendered their arms,
and are waiting at Gracia the order for rejoining their an-
cient corps. It .is three days since they have been furnish-
ed with either pay or provisions. They regret leaving the
ranks Of the insurgents, where they wanted for nothing.

DUTCH PAPERS.
TIIF. HAGUE, OCT. 19.—1 n the Sitting of the Second
Chamber to-day, the Minister of Finance made a speech,
for the purpose of developing and explaining the projects
of Law which he was commissioned by his Majesty to pre-
sent to the States General.

I. His Excellency gm an account of the manner in

3. ..he third Project of Law proposes the ways and
means for covering the disbursements included in the first
division. Those are fixed at 18,856,135 f. The other
means, meeting the -expences under the head Extraor-
dinaries, are stated at 5,284,1841.

1 It appears from the Minister's Speech, that in 1826,
and in part of 1847, the Revenue has been considerably
increased by the augmentation of the import, export, and
transit duties. The Minister announced the abolition of
the Lottery at Brussels for the lst.of January. 1828. By
this means the Royal Netherland Lottery will be able to
dispose of a greater number of tickets in the Southern
ProvinceS. •

The sum to be paid off of the National Debt daring the
year 1828, is fixed at 2,600,00011.
HAMBURGII, OCT. 19.—The last letters from Peters-
burgh give an official account of the operations of the
army in Georgia, from which we only find that on the 18th
August, that is a considerable time before the battle at
Etchiniadzine, a Russian division bad succeeded in an ex -
peditkai to °limbed. The Russians began the campaign
by occupying Etehmiadtine, and besieging Erivan ; but
as the fortress would not yield, a corps of observation was
left before it, that the army might advance. The siege
was raised for want, it is said, of provisions. Time na-
tural consequence was the retreat of the corps, whirl; at'
first advanced to its former positions; this retreat was fol-
lowed by a bold attempt of the ,Persians to make them-
selves masters of Etchmiadaine. Since that time, it does
not appear from the Russian reports, that anything of con-
sequence has occurred, and .General Paskewitsch seems to
have remained in his first positions; so that it does not
appear that the Russians have yet made any great progress.
.
LO'SS OF ONE OF THE.BRAZILIAN SHIPS.

(From the Cork ConstitutiO?2.)
Yesterday considerable alarm was excited through-
out this'city, by the arrival of intelligence of the loss
of the Eliza, one of the Brazilian transports that
sailed from our harbour with emigrants for Rio Ja-
neiro. The following is from Lloyd's List
" YAamourn, OCT. 13.—The Amazon, Blues, arrived
in the river; sailed froin Puerte Ventura on the 15th ult.
The Master states that part 'of the crew and passengers
(emigrants) of the Eliza, from Cork to Rio Janeiro, had
arrived there, that vessel having been totally wrecked on
Cape Blanco."

We can now confirm the unpleasant news, but at
the same time it is most gratifying to be enabled to
state, which we do on the authority of a letter ad-
dressed to William Power, Esq., of thiS city, by one
of the passengers, that the crew and all on board
were saved. The Eliza sailed from Cork harbour
on the 12th August, with 4, cabin passengers, 250
men, 39 women, and 13 children, emigrants, exclu-
sive of the crew'; and they were shipWeeeked in 13
days after. This information cannot be too gene-
rally circulated about the country, as the friends of
the emigrants reside at remote distances. The fol-
lowing is the letter :

" Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, fept. 10.
" Sir,—Enclosed you have a letter wL;cli you will
please to have forwarded to Col. Cotter, if he be in Ire-
land or England,; the purport of which is informing him
of our shipwreck, which unfortunately happened on the
'2sth ult. on the coast of Africa; but thank God, all have
been saved. I write to you lest Col. Cotter left the
country, and the enclosed would not consequ2ntly find him.
" I am, Sir, &c.
"W. Power, Esq. Cork. " ROBERT BARRY."
" You have also a letter for my father, which I beg to
be excusea for troubling you with."
