EAST INDIA HOUSE.

The sales of indigo at the East India House have
terminated this morning, and with somewhat better
appearances than those they commenced with. The
improvement in price in the latter part of the sales
has been chiefly in the finer qualities; but of the
inferior sorts the greater proportion, it is supposed,
has been bought in. Of the whole quantity offered,
which was nearly 6,000 chests, it is estimated that
above 1,600 have been bought in.

A fraudulent package of cochineal was discovered
on Monday at one of the docks, some of the serons,
or leather bags, in which this article is packed, being
found, on opening, to contain 301 b. or 401 b. weight
in stones. It is supposed to 'gave taken place pre-
vious to the original shipment. The loss, which is
considerable on account of the great value of this
article of commerce, will of course fall, if they are
able to meet it, on the exporters.

DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.-- Thursday,
about one o'clock, a distressing accident occurred on the
river, about two miles east of Greenock, attended with the
loss of several lives. A pleasure boat, belonging to Mr.
JOHN M'INTYRE, founder, Glasgow, cutter-rigged, while
sailing off the pottery, was, in consequence of neglecting
to put sufficient ballast on board, and a strong breeze
blowing off the shore, upset, and all on board precipitated
into the water. The accident was observed by some indi-
viduals from the shore, who inunediately gave the alarm,
and a boat was procured from a gabbert lying at the pot-
tery, and sent off to their assistance, but only in time to
pick up Mr. 11.161wrirnE, and ROBERT DUNCAN, a carpen-
ter in Greenock—the four others having sunk before as-
sistance could come to their aid. The two thus rescued
were immediately conveyed to the shore, Mr. WlNirvitE
in a state of insensibility, and every endeavour made to
restore them, but Mr. WINTvitE died in the course of
twenty minutes after being taken out of the water; DUN-
CAN they happily succeeded in recovering. Of the four
who perished when the boat sunk, three were riggers, but
we have as yet only ascertained that one of them was
WILLIA3I TULLOCH, of Crawtordsdyke;:the fourth was
Hicrnii WlNTraz, nephew of the gentleman drowned.
None of their bodies had been found yesterday evening.—

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1829.

By the Flanders mail, which arrived late this
afternoon, we have received the following Bulle-
tin from the Theatre of War in the East ; we

have not time for comment:—
NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR.

VIENNA, JULY 11.

In addition to the news of the surrender of Sills-
tria, we have received the following Russian bulletin
from the camp at Jeudschi-Kioi, before Shumla,
dated June 24:

" The Grand Vizier, who, on the 2d day after his
defeat, succeeded in returning to Shumla at the head
of a small detachment of cavalry, makes vain exer-
tions to organize an army. The fugitives who suc-
ceed in returning to the fortress in small parties, are
not in sufficient number to fill up the immense chasm
in the ranks. Besides, most of the soldiers, as well
of the regular as the irregular corps, have taken
advantage of the defeat to endeavour to
return to their own houses, so that of 40,000
men that the Grand Vizier had before Pravadi
scarcely 15,000 will have returned to their colours.
Our army are waiting the issue of the siege of Silis-
tria, in a position to observe the movements of the
Turks, and to hinder them from interrupting, even
for a moment, the operations of the besieging corps.
Meantime the enemy, terrified by his defeat at
Kulertscha, remains shut up in Shumla, and has not
even ventured to attempt any thing against Lieu-
tenant-General Prince Madatoff, who, at the head of
16 squadrons, advanced, on the 16th of this month,
to Eski Dschuma, which he found deserted."
Accounts from Bucharest, of June 28, mention
that General Geismar, after taking Rachova, sent,
on the 19th of June, a detachment, consisting of a
regiment of dragoons and 350 Cossacks, to check
the Turks on the right bank of the river Iskra, nd
to pursue Hussein Paella, who had fled from Ra-
chova. This detachment succeeded in dispersing a
body of 200 Turks, from which they took one
standard and 37 prisoners. The RuSsians afterwards
attacked a detachment of 500 Turks, most of whom
fell in the action.
O❑ the 25th of June some Turks sallied from
Ghiurgevo, who were driven back, and 15 killed or
taken prisoners.
The Austrian Observer, in a note upon the reflec-
tions of the Courier on the King's Speech, at the
prorogation of Parliament, says—" According to
accounts from Egina, of the 30th May, Count Capo
D'lstria had positively rejected all the proposals
made to him, conformably to the above stipulations
by M. Dawkins, the English Resident, respecting
the revocation of the Greek blockades, the recall
of the Greek troops from the Continent to the
Peloponaesus, and the cesstion of all further hostili-
ties against the Porte."

BERLIN, JULY 17.
The Prussian Stales Gazelle of this date contains
no further news from the thEatre of war.

Her Majesty the Empress of Russia left this city
on the 15th, to return to St. Petersburgh. -

BRUSSELS, JULY 21.
We extract the following from the Nuremburg
Correspondent :
" It is said that the Emperor of Russia has sent
an extraordinary Envoy to Constantinople, to de-
liver an Ultimatum to the Sultan, and to make him
sensible of his situation. This message is stated to
announce to him that the Porte, if it consents to the
demands of Russia, will find in the Emperor a friend
to the Divan as ardent as he has hitherto been an
enemy; that lie will act in all his relations with the
greatest precision; that the Porte must not reckon
upon other auxiliaries, nor draw favourable infer-
ences from the inaction of some States. It is added
that an Extraordinary Envoy from Prussia is to
support these representations. L► fact, Lieutenant-
General Muffling has just left Berlin upon a secret
mission, with a travelling companion. They appear
both to expect to make a voyage by sea."

The French Papers contain little decisive in-
telligence. A letter, dated Vienna, June 9, and
inserted in the Constitutionnel, states, there is
a report upon the Exchange that the Russian
troops had evacuated Varna, for the purpose of
occupying barracks without the city, on ac-
count of the plague having manifested itself
within. This report the Constitutionnel seems
inclined to disbelieve.

The same Journal observes, that letters from

Odessa speak strongly of negotiations for peace,
and that it is strongly believed that hostilities
are about to cease. This fact we as strongly
disbelieve; the Russians are too strong, and
the Turks too weak, to render this report pro-
bable. The two parties must meet on more
equal terms than they do at present, before such
rumours can be justly credited.

American Papers have been received ; they
are chiefly filled with speculations respecting the
probability or otherwise of the King of SPAIN'S
reported intention of invading Mexico. The
New York Journal of Commerce inclines to
the opinion that the " Beloved " is serious in his
resolution to invade Mexico. We know that
the " Beloved " is fully equal to any absurdity,
provided it be tainted with fanaticism, but we
should suppose that even he would pause before
he rushed into such an enterprise as this—so
hopeless—so ruinous—so preposterous.

The Post of this morning, in an article com-
menting upon the LORD-LIEUTENANT Of
IRELAND'S late Proclamation, takes occasion to
observe, " We maintain it cannot be wrong, per
se, in any of the King's subjects, let them be
situated where they may, to manifest in a
manner the most open, public, and if they
please, ostentatious, those particular opinions,
political or religious, by virtue of which GEORGE
IV. has a right to the Throne upon which he
sits."—" These events are as legitimate subjects
of triumphant and joyful commemoration,
wherever the sceptre of the House of Hanover
extends, as the frustration of the Gunpowder
Plot, the memory of which is consecrated
in our Liturgy, or as the recent glories of
Trafalgar or Waterloo." These two points
the justice of which our cotemporary insists on
with an emphasis more adroit than reputable,
involve two of the grossest fallacies we ever re-
member to have perused. In the first place, the
Orange processions of the 12th are any thing
but the commemoration of those opinions "by
virtue of which GEORGE IV. has a right to the
Throne upon which he sits." They have no
more to do with them, than the blushes of an
Irish potatoe with the ruin of Great Britain.
Whatever they may once have been, the case is
now, and has been for years, materially altered.
The Cumberland men meet, as is well known,
on the 12th, not for the purpose of celebrating
bloodlessly, and in a grateful spirit, the benefits
conferred on Ireland by the Restoration ; but for
the purpose of renewing the factious spirit of
past times, of keeping alive a system of ascen-
dancy, and reluming those embers of discord
which else would become speedily extinguished.
They meet in order to show Ireland that they
are the masters, and the Catholics the slaves
of the north ; that as they have been for years,
so will they still continue to be, in the ascendant,
notwithstanding that their processions are in
law illegal, in common sense, indefensible, in
spirit, ungenerous to a degree beyond expres-
sion. This is the purpose for which they meet ;
not to commemorate the peaceful triumphs of
Protestantism—for with these they have nothing
in common but the name—not to perpetuate the
recollection of the worthier deeds of their ances-
tors ; but to insult, tyrannise, and massacre, and
prove to the world, how, by persevering and
settled malignity, a nation, years after legitimate
authority has been established, and when there
is nothing left to fight for, can still be kept in a
state little short of anarchy and civil war. This,
we repeat, is the sole purpose for which the
Orangemen publicly commemorate the 12th.
Our cotemporary's next point is, that the Irish
Brunswickers are as fully justified in commemo-
rating the 12th as in commemorating the glories
of Trafalgar and Waterloo. Granted, were the
commemoration as peaceably and gratefully con-
ducted, or were its nature as unequivocal. But
is this the case ? Are the two commemorations
analagous ? Are the results as tranquil—as
gratifying—as elevated ? Do the Orange pro-
cessions of the 12th feed the soul with lofty
and generous associations ? Do they keep
alive a pure, thankful spirit of patriotism ?
Do they swell, without inflating, the national
spirit in the same way as Trafalgar or Wa-
terloo, where England's naval supremacy was
established, and peace, through her, was re-
stored to an oppressed world. If they do, if
their commemorations be really as inoffensive
and praise-worthy, why then the late Proclama-
tion on the subject ? Why are lives annually
lost—houses burnt to the ground—families
plundered—ruined--massacred—whole counties
driven into a state little short of actual
rebellion ? Why—but it is idle to pur-
sue the subject ; the two commemorations
are as diametrically opposed to each other
as the politics of the Morning Jour-
nal to common sense. The commemoration of
Trafalgar or Waterloo is the commemoration of
a grand and heart-stirring national achievement ;
that of the 12th, by the Irish Orangemen, is the
commemoration of an odious system of ascen-
dancy, which can only cease to be disgraceful
when it ceases to be remembered.

Letters from Madrid, to the 10th inst., state
that arrests still continued in Catalonia, and that
a number of persons had been thrown into the
citadel of Barcelona. The Count d'OFA LTA
had not left Madrid up to the 9th, and it was

supposed he would not set out for Paris before
the 18th.

Advices from Bourbon state that the met•
chants of that colony had resolved upon solicit•
ing of the French Government, the establish'
ment of a Chamber of Commerce there. These
accounts reach to the 2d of April.

We have letters from Santiago de Chili of the
16th April ; business was very flat and money
scarce. In Chili a hard dollar was scarcely t°
be met with ; copper was at 17 dollars, and 0
board at 21 dollars.

By the official returns published this morning'
we learn that the duty en Foreign Wheat is Ss'
per quarter above the previous returns. This
grain is now admissable at a duty of 16s. 6'l'
per quarter, being an advanced rate of 6s. per
quarter within the last fortnight.
