Russia while a Greek Minister
armed'icterference of R
enjoyed the Emperor's konfidence. STROGONOIF, it
is also well known, was recalled front Constantinople,
because his presence there was supposed to render'
pe4ce between Turkey and Russia impossible.
From these circumstances, therefore, viz, the agree-
able dispatch to Count Cai.ro D'lrrata, and the mes-
sage to STROGONOPIP—coupIed with the recent ru-
mours of the increasing barbarities of the Turks, some
may be disposed to infer that the report of the changed
purposes of ALIMANDIR on the Turkish question is
something more than vague political gossip.

We have received this morning, by exprpss, the
Pilate (French Paper) of the 28th, from which we
extract the following:

MADRID, OCTOBER 14.

In the discussion of the Cortes of yesterday, which
was replete with wisdom and dignity, the National
Congress has accorded to Government the necessary
power for an extraordinary levy of 29,000 men, and
7,900 horses, which has caused the greatest impres-
sion in the capital, and no doubt will cause the same
when it becomes to be known in the di rent pro-
vinces. This is the first time our Government has
taken energetic measures, and has set aside an apathy I
which has caused us so much evil.
To-morrow, the Report of the Commissioners of
Finances will be received, in which the Minister de-
mands the creation of sixty millions of Rotes. Yes-
terday, after the Public Sitting, in which was voted
the Extraordinary Levy, the Cortes remained sitting
in secret, to hear the reading 'Odle Memorial of the
Minister of State, on our exterior relations, which has
been prevented from appearing before the Public.

General Nlilans announces in an Official Report,
dated d'.krcas del Mars, that he has defeated Mosen
Antpa and several other Insurgent Chiefs, who were
at. the head of 1500 men marching on the above
town to get, possession of it and to give it up to pil-
lage.—The Governor of Urgel has escaped, and ar-
rived at Barcelona.

It is assuredthat in the secret Sitting of yesterday
there was a -question whether or no measures of re-
prisal should not be adopted against France?

In the Sitting of yesterday, the Minister of Wier
presented several statements on the force of the Spa-
nish Army, which is as follows:

The permanent Army., comprising the activeblilkin

Intelligence has been received from Hayti to the
14th tilt. by which it appears that a commotion took
place at Port-au-Prince on the 30th of August, in
consequence of a person named Darfour presenting
to the Chamber of Representatives a representation,
which is said to have aimed at the destruction of the
existing institution. The contents of the representa-
tion are not stated, but it appears from a narrative of
the affair, signed " A Patriot," which is said to be
written by M. Inginac, the Secretary-General, that
the object of Darfour, and those with whom he was
connected, was to procure exclusive privileges for
the native merchants, by requiting that all importa-
tions should be consigned to them. The Government
on the contrary, is said to be desirous of establishing
a perfect freedom of commerce, and of placing na-
tive and foreign merchants on An equal footing.
When Darfour presented his incendiary Memorial,
the greater part of the Deputies insisted that this in-
famous representation should only be read in a secret
Committee, because the title announced the nature of
its contents. Laborde argued for its being read in
public, and it was so read. St. Martin pretended
alarm at its contents, and moved the arrest of the
author. This was opposed by Beranger and La-
borde. The indignation of the Chamber was extreme.
No order was observed. Darfour was sought for;
he was found, and was about to be iMmolated, when
the police arrived and rescued him. He was im-
peisoned, and tried by an Extraordinary Commission,
because his crime was extraordinary. He was con-
demned, and on the 2d of September he expiated,
by a capital punishment, his audacity and guilt.
An order by the Grand Judge, dated September 2,
dismisses from their functions, in consequence of the
events of the 30th of August, Noe! Pirou, Dean of the
Civil Tribunal of Port-au-Prince; Pierre Andre,
Judge of the Tribunal of Cessation t Dugue, Notary
of the Government ; Laborde, Public Defender before
the Tribunals of the West; and St. Laurent, Public
Defender and Interpreter at Port-stex-Cayes.
By another order of the Chamber of Representatives,
the citizens Beranger, Laborde, St. Martin, and St.
Laurent have ceased to form part of the Represents-
, tives of the Commons, and their substitutes areealfed
upon to take their seats and concur in promoting the
happiness of the Republic.

LAS U4SAIi could' have no personal &seal towaris
Sir HUDSON Lows, said that, consequently. the, oves-
regeosts schoOl-boy attack of young LAS VASA. must
have arisen in a conspiracy, of which he was the tool.
An Evening Paper of yesterday, in support of this
hypothesis, endeavours to, trace an intimate connec-
tion between the Baron LAS CASAS, Mr. O'MEARA,
and Mr. Houma (who was Agent to the latter Gee-
tleman when he was at St. Helena), and asserts that .
Mr. flottass took the lodging for Les CASAS at the
Dog Tavern. This Mr. HOLMES most positively de-
nies ; be says he did not take any lodging for Baron
LAS CASAS, nor had he the least knowledge of his
object in coming to England.
The attempt to shew that LAS CASAS could feel no
animosity against Sir HUDSON Lows, for the treat-
ment of his family-when at St. Helena, is most absurd
and injudicious; for it is notorious' that the conduct
of Sir Hutosotr, while there, was such as to provoke
the enmity or hatred of every individual of NAN).
Lames suite, who felt oppressed by the rigid severity
with which he enforced his orders, even admitting
them to be such, though there is no doubt but that
he exercised a large discretionary power with any
thing but mildness. But to have recourse to the tes-
timony of the Count LAS CASAS, to shew that he was i
quite satisfied with the treatment he had received
from Sir Hunsox Lowe, is highly ridiculous.
In a letter which the Count wrote from Longwood
to LUCIEN BONAPARTE, in 1816; after speaking of
the arrival of Sir Hopson Lows, as Governor. he says

On 'his appearance everything assumed a dark and gloomy
aspect ; every appearance of external respect, and all the farms
prescribed by a due regard to decency, which had hitherto been
observed, st once disappeared ; every day since has been to us a
day of greater pain and more insulting treatment."

"Sir Hudson Lowe pleads the instructions of his Minister In
justification of himself, with respect to all these complaints; If
this justification is well founded, his instructions are most bar-
hams; but we can bear witness at the same time that he en.'
deavours to carry them Into execution In a barbarous manner."

" Everything, even- down to the most petty details, betrays
the personal character and disposition of our jailor."
" The truth will one day come to light, and people wW then
indignantly ask,' What had treatment of this nature to do with
the security of the prisoner r If, on the other hand, ail this is
merely the result of an excessive and officious zeal on the part of
Sir Hudson Lowe, it throws a bad light on his heart, lowers his
character, and disgraces his memory."

But while we disagree with one Journalist as to Si
Huosott Lows's conduct, and the opinions of LAS
CASA& family respecting it, we differ quite as much
from. the Editor of a Morning Paper, who endea-
vours to convert the affair into an act of bravery on
the part of young Las CASAS, and to impeach the
honour or courage of Sir HUDSON Lows, because
appeals to the laws. What LAS CASAS did, any puny
Frenchman might have done to the Duke of Wzr.
LINGTON or to Torn Cribb, and might have escaped as
he did; for it is evident that the youth when he had
raised the whip, became so frightened at what he had
done, that he made the best of his way to a place of
safety, from which we much doubt that he would
emerge were Sir HUDSON Lowa to offer him that to
which he is certainly not entitled—the satisfaction of
a Gentleman. Of the humanity of Sir HUDSON LOWE
WE believe nothing favourable can be said; but if his
courage or honour never suffer more than they have
done from the puny insult of young LAS CASAS, the
world will have nothing to reproach him with on
that account.

WgsT-INDIA TRADE —From a New York Paper :
Most of Our readers understand from the British
Acts of Parliament, and the Proclamation of the Pre-
sident, that the intercourse between the United States
and the British Colonies is placed upon a reciprocal
footing to the vessels of both nations ; the Proclama-
tion, however, does not admit of this construction—
there is nothing in it which would exempt a British
vessel, coming from one of her Colonies to the United
States, from the charge of foreign tonnage, which,
we are informed,will be exacted here, unless contrary
instructions are received from the Treasury department.
—We cannot for a moment imagine, that after the
British Acts have placed this commerce Upon so li-
beral a footing, it can be the intention of our Go-
vernment to continue the discriminating tonnage
duty, which would be inefficient to confine the trade
to our own vessels ; though as soon as the Act would
be known to the British Government, the intercourse
would, by an Order ix Council, be altogether inter-
dicted. We are further of an opinion, that the sub•
ject only wants an explanation."

Our Readers will recollect that the Mine
cause, 4, Rowe v. WOOD," which occupied the LORD
CUANCELLOR'S attention, and our Chancery Report,
so many years, was some months since dismissed
out of Court, on the joint application of the parties,
who had then agreed to refer their disputes. The
parties have since been engaged in discussing their
respective cases before the arbitrators, Messrs. GEORGE
HATNOEN, D. MACLEAN' and H. HUNT, merchant;
of great intelligence and the highest respectability in
the City. The award has just been made, and the
result is—that Alderman WOOD'S claims against the
plaintiff, Mr. Rowe, and his mine property, which
have been variously stated at £50,000, god
00,000, are declared to be less than £:1,001)--that
Alderman WOOD and his brothers, Messrs. l'insis
and BENJAKIN WOOD (who were made parties to the
reference), are directed to pay certain proportions of
the costs, amounting to about two-thirds; and thatl
Mr, Rowe will be immediately put into possession of
this valuable•property.
