PROM THE COURIER FRANCAIS.

The resolution of the English Cabinet has termi-
nated as it has been easy to foresee for some days
past. It has preferred the friendship of Austria
to the gratitude of a whole people; it has preferred the
approbation of M. de Metternich to the admiration of
the world. The desire of preserving peace is the motive
it assigns for its resolution: could not England thee
take Greece under its protection without the peace of
Europe being disturbed ? Are the Powers of the Holy
Alliance so bent on the extermination of the Greeks,
that whoever should attempt to oppose it would be cer-
tain of being implicated in a war with them ? Has the
massacre of a Christian people so many charms in their
eyes, that they have mutually engaged to march their
armies against whoever should seek to deprive them of
the peaceable enjoyment of this spectacle ? One might
think so on seeing England reject the prayers of
Greece in distress, from a desire of preserving* to
its subjects the blessings of peace. A happy peace
indeed—a peace glorious for Europe ! It will be ce-
mented, perhaps, by the blood of a million of Christians.
But not content with refusing the protectorate of Greece,
the English Cabinet stops the relief which Greece might
expect from the courage and generosity of the British
nation ; it will not suffer other Byrom to do honour to
toe Englis'h name, or private persons to chew more zeal
than their Government in the service of humanity. The
art de proceeds at some length to contrast this refusal

It is impossible to revert, in a retrospective view, to
the progress of the Revenue without sentiments of
astonishment and exultation. From a summary in
another column, it appears that since the year 1820,
taxes to the enormous amount of ten millions a-year
have been repealed,• of whit It two thirds fell under the
head of Customs and Excise; but the Revenue result-
ing from these two grand sources of income, so far
from diminishing, in consequence of so serious a reduc-
tion of duties, has en the contrary, materially increased !
This state of things could not have been brought
*bow, unless there had existed an immense ameliora-
tion of the condition of the industrious cluses, and a
prodigious extension of trade and manufactures. It is
evident to demonstration that within the last five years
the productions of the national industry have been aug-
mented in the proportion of five to four, and it would
seem that this gratifying effect is no less owing to the
liberal removal of the ancient restrictions on our inter-
course with foreigners, than to the lightening the pres-
sure of heavy taxation. It is unquestionable that a great
addition to our foreign and colonial trade, has been oc-
casioned by admitting foreign ships to a share of the
carrying trade, from which they were formerly ex-
cluded by the jealousy of our Navigation Laws. While
the immediate bent.fit ccsulting item this important

'change in our commercial policy is felt in increased
production, and a great and uoptecedented demand for
labour, we are, however, bound at the same time, mo-t
attentively to watch its progress, abd to prepare for its
probible effects iA another point of view, of the most
vital importance to our interest. It is to be supposed
that the opciing of our colonial and domestic ports to
the ships of foreigners, without restriction, v, ill in some
small degree diminish the employment of British ships
end seamen. There can be no qn•stion, however, that
the effect of such a measure will very greatly increase
the nurseries of foreign seamen, and the vigilance of
Government will not be inattentive to the consequences
of such a circumstance on our maritime greatness. We
see that France has already prepared for encouraging
an extension of her madame population, by adopt-
ing a new mode of manning her Navy. The principle
of this method is t 2 increase the crews of"the men of
war, by training up young men to that service, who
are to be selected from an inland conscription among
the nation at large. Hitherto the pressure of manning the
Navy had fallen exclusively on the maritime districts.
From this disadvantage, however, the French Com-
mercial Marine will now be relieved, and the conse-
quence will be very evident in a vast extension of the
employment of native sailors in their fisheries, their
foreign and coasting trade, whereby a supply of skilful
mariners may be at hand on any emergency.

At a late hour we received the Etoik of yesterJay,
by expre,s. It states that the King of PRUSSIA. left
Paris on Tuesday to return home. Letters from Port-
au-Prince, in announcing the teturn of the Prebideut
BOYER from Cape Haytien, state that he met several
persons connected with the late conspiracy, who threw
themselves on his clemency, imploring his pardon.
They were ordered to be confined in the prison at Port.
an-Prince until their fate was decided on.

The American squadron, consisting in all of eight
vessels, has arrived at Smyrna.
On the 26th of August, a file broke out in Smyrna,
which destroyed thirty-three houses, and would have
done much greater injury had it not been for the Com-
marders of the French, English, Austrian, American,
and Dutch vessels of war, who seconded the efforts of
the local authorities.

On the sth of September, the SULTAN bad an acces-
sion to his family in the birth of a Princess. On the
same day, the Sardinian Ambassador, who was the
bearer of rich presents, bad an audience of the GRAND
SEIGNIOR. The Netherlands Ambassador had arrived
at Constantinople.
Accounts from Salonica of the 26th of August, no-
tice the failure of the attacks on Missolonghi ; and the
Albanians are represented as disgusted with their fe-
verses. IBRAHIM PACHA is said to be in a very cri-
tical situation. The Monica letter notices the report,
which our proclamation must set at rest, that England
was about to place a ging Ater....Gr_e_ege, ansLhad
tered into a treaty to send succours by land and sea.

The arrival of the American squadron in the Archi-
pelago gave rise to various conjectures.

Accounts from Madrid, in the ConstiAtitionisal, state,
that new plots, in favour of DOA CARLOS, have been
formed and detected in Valencia, Grenada, and other
places. The Consultative Junta, created by a late de-
cree of FERDINAND, has been formally installed, and
has already got its task set it by the Ministry, whose
responsibility it was instituted to share. This task com-
prises four problems, two of which are, 4' What are the
means calculated for conciliating the colonies, and re-
storing their former obedience to the mother country ?
—What means :should be adopted to facilitate the
negotiation of a loan, and to render its conditions
less onerous?"

When the Junta have settled these points, no d:ffi-
-culty need appal them ; the discovery of the perpetual
motion or the longitude may be calculated upon, for
the miracles of Prince HOHENLOHE ate child's play to
what the Junta have to effect.

Nothing further has transpired respecting the te-
I ported successes in India, but it is very probable that
Prome has been taken, and that the King cf Av.% had
sued for peace. We have received a letter from a Cor-
respondent in Madras, but it is not of a later date than
April 29. After noticing the capture of Arracan, our
Correspondent sqs—
“ The last dispatch from Rangoon was dated the sth of April.
General Cotton bad been seat by General Campbell, with a very
insufficient force, against Donabew, and had been beaten off with
great loss. General Campbell, who had nearly reached Prime,
fell back upon Donabew, and, together with General Cotton, was
closely investing that place; trenches bad been opened, and it was
confidently expected, when the last accounts left our army invest•
ing Donabew, that that place, with its defender, Bondoolah,
would be in their possession on the dth. When the last ship left
Rangoon, a nemendous firing was heard in the direction of Dona-
bew. We hourly expect a ship giving us tidings of its fall. The
war will, it is believed, take much of its character from the result
of our present operations before Donabew."

This forenoon we received the Brussels Papers to the
12th instant. The following are the only articles worth
quoting :

BRUSSELS, OCTOBER a.

It is affirmed that the civil code will be entirely com
pleed in the approaching Session of the States-General
and that the project of law on the codes of commerce,
and of judicial proceedings, as well as a law on th
Burgher guard, will be laid before the States• General.
His Majesty has made many nominations in the Or de
of the Belgic Lion. Among these nomir.atioris is the
name of M. Ten lux, the great Frrn:b manufactuier,
whose reputation has extended to all parts of Europ,
where manufactories are held in honour. M. Teraaux,

a; our readers know, came to visit the fine exhibition at

H tarlem.

Lisbon Gazettes to the 2d instant reached as this
morning ; they contain no news from Brazil, but insert
the official account of the qualified recognition of the
independence of Hayti by France. It will be seen by
the following extracts, that some of the authors of the
sacrilege have been taken and convicted :

Of this ten millions remitted, about 6,760,0001. falls under tbe
' heads of Cestooss and Revise. Now let us see bow this operates.
The produce of these two branches of the Revenue in the yea
ending October,lB2o, was 35,234,8051. The produce of the year
ending October, 3.525, notwithstanding the loss of the above.met.
dolled 6,760,0001. is not 28,474,6051. as might have been expected,
hut 35,926,866/. so that the foreign trade and home cumumptiee
of the country must have advanced no less than 25 per cent. vntLa

tben consumed or exported, we now require five.
The Stamp Duties produced in 1820 the sum of 8,115,4a2L
The reduction on Law Stamps, made last year, would dimini:4
this amount by 200,0001. But the produce of the last year, endil

We suspect there is some mistake in the follosing
extract of a letter from Mexico as to the size of the
estate which Mr. BARING is said to have purchased.
The estate is said to be 300,000 square leagues, which
would make it equal to 1,800 miles long, by 1,500
miles broad, or 3,700.000 square miles—a trifle larger,
we guess, than all Europe. The estate does not seem
to be overstocked, as, according to the letter, there ate
four sheep for six square leagues, or one leg of mutt-,a
for 62 square miles.—(Extract of a letter from Mexico,
dated August 13, 1825)—" BARING has purchased
300,000 square leagues of land, with mires, and 2L,0,005
head of sheep upon it, for 950,000 dollars!'

Eight thousand barrels of malt, machinery, sky coolers,

15,0001. The amount which the establishment is la-
cured for is 10,0001.

sone of information, to lay before our Readers the
bllowing important particulars regarding Clapperton's

he considers it entail that the mighty Niger terminates

quented tic sea coasts-at the months of the river. Upon
turning to a map of Af, ica, the Reader will perceive

to political convulsions, but notwithstanding this dis-
couraging circumstance, upon the whole they had
cause to rejoice. The Reverend Gentleman concluded
an able address, by invoking the DIVINE blessing
on the parent Society, of which this was an auxiliary.
The Rev. Mr. SMART, the Secretary, read the Report,
by which it appeared that the sum of 2271. 2s. mod. had
been contributed this year, 1171. of which were con-
tributed by the Ladies' Committee—(Applause),—
making a general increase this year of 831.65. and
since the f,,rmation of the Society, the funds of the
parent Institution had received from this branch the sum
of 1,6621. 2s. 2d.—( Applause.)
Rev. R. MiLsE, the Curate of the parish of Clerken-
well, took a view of the importance of missionary err-
ertions. It was the dying command of the SAVIOUR of
Mank'nd, 44 Go forth into all the world, and preach
the Gospel to every creature." This command was
given nearly two thousand years ago, and yet two-thirds
of the inhabitants of the earth had never heard the
sound of his name. The speaker, in conclusion, ex-
horted the youth that were present to reflect on the
honour of going forth as Missionaries, and implored
them to say, " Hew I am, send me." He then pro-
posed that "the Report be received and printed under
the direction.of the Committee."
The Rev. EDWARD BIC/CIRSTRTH, Secretary to the
parent Society, mentioned several proofs of the so-
ciety's success. As to its funds, they had amounted
last year to 45,0001. chiefly owing to associations. From
a small village in Wales, where be scarcely thought
they could collect 51. in ten years, he lately received a
letter from the clergyman of the parish, inclosing 500/.
for the Society. The letter stated, that the money was
thus tranferred while the donor was alive, because this
would not only save the legacy duty of ten per cent,
but also put it out of the power of any litigation amongst
executors or lawyers, if his will shnuld be informally
worded, as often happens to men. An anonymous cor-
respondent also sent them 501. and a Lady in the
Noah, who seemed to live only in a moderate sphere,
lately gave, in two donations, the sum of 1,0001. to
their Missionary Institution. But while mentioning
the larSunty of the rich, he must not omit the mite of the
poor. Half their income (great as that was) flowed
from the pence of the poor. He then noticed the pa-
tronage of the Society. It now could number six
Bishops on its list of patrons, and the Bishop of London
every year ordains their Missionaries. In India) there
is now above 10,000 native female children receiving
Christian instruction ; though the prejudice at first was
so strong, that Miss Cooke was obliged to enter into a
bond, that she would not sell the children for slaves
(the only purpose which the parents could imagine in
the pains taken to educate them). The state of females
there is dreadful ; a British officer saw one of the women
take her infant female child in a boat, on the Ganger,
and watch until an alligator came near, when she in-
stantly threw the babe into the water, and actually into
the very jaws of the monster. Eight hundred widows
were burned on the funeral pile of their hu.bands dur-
ing one year. But it was pleasing to turn to the efforts
of Christians. The good Bishop of Calcutta lately ad-
ministered the Lord's Supper (using the Hindostannee
language) to the converts, and afterwards confirmed
a hundred and fifty of them according to the rites of
the Established Church. In Persia, the labours of Henry Martyn
have been blessed, and the Persians at Shiraz acknowledged to Mr.
Wolf, that Mr. Martyn was never "convicted or beat in his argu-
ment." In all these, GOD Is calling us to a great work, and will
ultimately and abundantly give us his blessing.
The Rev. Professor Us, of Cambridge, recommended the Mis.
sionary Seminary ;at Islington, as well calculated to develope and
form the character of Missionaries. More was requisite for a Mis-
sionary than we are apt to imagine. They should be learned as
well as pious, because they will have to encounter the Mahommedan
and the Hindoo, who are generally men of eaceeding subtlety and
extensive erudition. It was desirable to teach the languages of
Hindostan before we sent out Missionaries abroad. Dr. Carey
took twelve months to learn even putting syllables together in the
Sanscrit language, because his native teacher knew scarcely any
English, and the Doctor as little of Hindostannee. Now, how-
ever, we find that six months are suScient to make a man ac.
quainted with the Sanserit in this country, where we have access to
the best books, and ample sources of information.
SAMUEL BIA4XDULItt, Esq. the Rev. Mr. LATELY (Missionary
to India), and several other Gentlemen, addressed the Meeting,
which, after thanks were voted to the Chairman, was absolved.

Mr. BAYLAY has announced his determination to
stand the poll for Taunton.

BETHL 21.1 HOSPITALe—A commodious Chapel is
about to be opened in this Hospital. It has been found,
after some years of strict probation, that in every large
community of Lunatics a considerable number will
always be found susceptible of religious consolations, as
well as competent to the duties of social worship.
NONATTENDANCE OF ALDERMEN.—On Tuesday a
Court of Aldermen could not be made until half-past
two o'clock, although it was appointed for one, in con-
sequence of the absence of the Aldermen, to compel
whose attendance there is unfortunately no fine. In
consequence of the great inconvenience arising from
the nun-attendance of the Aldermen some years ago, it
oac agreed amongst them that the fine of a guinea
should be inflicted for every breach of punctuality on
occasions of the kind ; and this regulation had for a
time the effect of doing away the very frequent neglect
or abandonment of duty.
DEAL AND DOVER BOA 'MICH.—A case of very great
importance to the Boatmen on our coast was lately de-
cided in the Cinque Ports Admiralty Court, by the
Surrogate, JOHN SHEPDEN, Esq. The ship Cadiz Packet,
bound trom Ostend to Batavia, laden with linen, flax,
and other articles, lately struck on the Goodwin Sands,
and went to pieces. Considerable quantities of the
linen, which is subject to high duties, were saved by the
Deal and Ramsgate Boatmen, and the cause came be-
fore the Court as one of derelict, subject to proof and
claim of property by the owners, and to the Boatmen's
claim for salvage. After due proof of the property,
and risk attending the salvors' services, the Surrogate
decreed that a Commission of Appra.sement should
issue to value the whole of the salved .property, free of
and without any reerence to the Customs' duty, and
upon the telurn r f the Commission, decreed that the
salvage charges shouli be deducted from the appraised
value, and so much of the property sold free of duty
as would produce rhe amount of such charges, and
two-fifths of the appraised value, after deducting the
same, such two-fifths to be divided among.the salvors
in reference to their respective proportions of the• pro-
perty saved.
