The Prussian State Gazette vindicates the modera-
tion of the Russian Emperor throughout the whole of the
Turkish invasion : there is no doubt that hereafter—
when it comes to annexations—F ae ne Rio: and Nl-
cnor.ss will contrive to pull very harmoniously toge-
ther. The following is the account given in this
paper of the Adrianopolitau Treaty:—" The many erro-
neous statements and opinions which have been spread
by the Journals, respecting the co-operation of Prussia
in the restoration of peace in the East, now happily
effected, induce us to give the following concise view of
the whole course of the affair :—From the very com-
mencement of the war between Russia and the
Porte, his Majesty the King cherished the conviction
that the Emperor of Russia, while he felt the necessity of
having recourse to arms, vet persevered in the generous
feeling which considered peace as the invariable object
of his efforts, as soon as the conditions laid down in the
Russian manifesto should offer. This conviction could
not fail to be strengthened, while the Emperor was at
Berlin last summer. In the conversations which the
King had with his august son on the affairs of the East,
the Emperor declared himself ready to contribute all in
his power to the ending of the war, as far as was in any
degree compatible with the indisputable interests of his
Empire, as soon as the Porte should seriously seek peace
and enter into negociations.
His Majesty was hereby induced, with the entire
concurrence of the Emperor, to announce to the
Porte, his conviction as happily confirmed, and to sig-
nify this intention to the other Courts. As things then
stood, it appeared advisable immediately to send a special
mission on the part of Prussia to Constantinople. The
choice fell on Lieutenant-General Muffling, whose rank
and personal character were peculiarly qualified to assure
the Sultan of the importance of his mission, and give him
confidence in the pacific overtures which he was to make.
The sole object of his instructions, was to induce the
Porte by positive assurances of the unaltered desire of
the Emperor of Russia to make peace, to induce it imme-
diately to send Plenipotentiaries to the Russian head-
quarters to enter into negociations for peace ; it was of
course entirely beside the purpose of his mission to
exercise a direct influence on the transaction, either as
negociator or mediator.
When General Muffling reached Constantinople on
the 4th August, General Count Diebitsch had mean-
while successfully passed the Balkan, and was advancing
without obstacles towards the capital of the Turkish Em-
pire. The Porte perceived the danger of its situation ;
and the pacific overtures, so unexpectedly renewed, could
not but make a decisive impression. In fact, General
Muffling found himself listened to by the Porte, which
had already been advised to the same effect on the united
representations of the Ambassadors of the great Eu-
ropean Powers, and the energy and decision with which
the General urged, the Ministers of the Porte could not,
under such circumstances, miss their object. The Porte
sent two Plenipotentiaries to the Russian head-quarters,
who were instructed with respect to the terms of peace
and the indemnities which Russia had to claim, to leave
every thing to the generosity of the Emperor.

General Von Muffling sent the Counsellor of Legation
Von Kuster to accompany the Turkish Plenipotentiaries,
that ha might describe to him the dreadful popular fer-
mentation in the capital, and the imminent danger to
which the Christian inhabitants were thereby exposed;
and to induce him provisionally to suspend hostilities.
Count Diebitsch, mindful of the principles of his Sove-
reign, and postponing every other consideration to feel-
ings of humanity, immediately complied with .this wish ;
and as soon as the negotiations for peace commenced, all
the hostile movements of the Russian army ceased.
The object of General Muffling's mission was now
attained ; the business intrusted to him had been ho-
nourably and successfully accomplished, and he prepared
to depart. The Sultan, however, being informed of this,
desired to see him before his departure. He received the
Prussian General in a private audience at one of his
country seats, (an hone& to which it would be difficult
to find a parallel,) and formally addressed him through
the Reis Effendi, to express in the most solemn manner
his gratitude for the important service which the King
had rendered him; and he several times interrupted the
Reis Effendi in order to confirm, by remarks of his own,
what he had said at this audience, at which not even the
Dragoman of the Porte was present, but only the
interpreter of the Prussian legation. The strict etiquette
usual on such occasions was wholly laid aside.
General Von Muffling left Constantinople on the sth
of Sept. Meantime the negotiation at the %mien
head-quarters were so far advanced, that no difficulty re.
mained except on the article relative to the indemnities.
The Turkish Plenipotentiaries, though fully empoisred

by their instructions on this head, desired to wait for
farther orders. The Russian General-in-Chief granted
them a delay of five days from the Bth of September;
but at the same time caused his vanguard to make some
movements in case the delay granted should expire with-
out effect, and he should he obliged to renew hostilities.
In the consternation which this measure again spread
in the capital, the Porte saw the extreme danger of its
situation. The Reis Effendi invited the Ambassadors of
England and France, and the Prussian Ambassador, M.
Von Royer to a conference, in order to obtain their advice
in this extremity. They could do no otherwise than un-
animously to advise the speedy signature of the peace, as
the only means to hinder the overthrow of the Empire.—
The Ministers of the Porte themselves recognised this
necessity; and ardently wished that one of the three Am-
bassadors present would repair to the Russian head-quar-
ters, and testify the readiness of the Porte to accede to
any conditions of peace, and only to prevent meantime
the advance of a victorious army to the capital. The
Ambassadors declined this, because they were not autho-
rised to act as mediators. But the Turkish Minister,
seconded by the Ambassadors of England and France,
urged the Prussian Ambassador to undertake this mis-
sion, and then to complete the work begun by Ge-
neral Von Muffling. M. Von Royer, however, felt
himself equally obliged to decline this request; as the
object of Prussia and the obligation which it had
taken on itself, were in fact fulfilled as soon as
negotiations for peace were begun. But urged by the
increasing danger, the Sultan himself caused M. Von
Royer in particular to be requested in writing to under-
take the desired journey to the Russian head-quarters,
and that Minister thought it was the more incumbent on
him to comply, as the two Ambassadors again united their
request with that of the Porte. Accordingly, he imme-
diately embarked for Rodosto, and proceeding from that
place on horsebask, reached Adrianople on the 11th,
in the evening. The Russian General received him
with politeness and frankness. In the confidence that in
conformity with the new assurances, the Turkish Pleni-
potentiaries would give up their objections and conclude
peace, he again suspended the movements of his army.
M. Von Royer having again impressed on the Turkish
Plenipotentiaries the necessity of doing every thing in
their power, and conformably to the will of their sove-
reign, submitting to the will of the Emperor, they at
length desisted from their opposition ; and the peace be-
tween Russia and the Porte was signed on the 14th.
This was the course of this affair, the happy result of
which allows us to consider a number of apprehensions
connected with the long and sanguinary differences in the
East as removed in all their essential points."—Prussian

It is well known with what inconceivable recklessness
credit is given and received in India to almost any
amount, and the enormous interest at which young

Europeans—when they fall into embarrassment—are in
the habit of borrowing money for their extrication : but
which transactions, ninety-nine times out of an hundred,
only clinch their—not till then, perhaps—irredeemable
ruin. The facility with which debt is contracted in
India, and money obtained, has been fatal to thousands
of young men who began their oriental career with the
fairest prospects, and under the brightest auspices of
talent favoured at its outset with high connexions, and
even commanding patronage. Numerous—even too

numerous to reckon—are the instances of this description,
which have fallen within our knowledge. Thoughtless-
ness and extravagance—by reason of this facility—had
become as it were systematised in India : even dispositions,
naturally prudential, gave way to irresistible general
example—and men who, perhaps, in this country would
have been remarked for their economy and forethought,
were often seen to rush headlong into the influenzal
vortex. The fatal temptations to exceed their income, far
from diminishing, augmented as their difficulties accumu-
lated: usurer after usurer accommodated them at a destruc-
tive interest--and those who could not finally satisfy these
harpies by the mortgage of their pay, or revenues from
whatever source arising, were consigned to a jail for life.
It is melancholy to reflect how many gallant and gifted
spirits, after serving twenty—and even thirty—years in
India, have found themselves compelled to forego the dear
happiness of re visiting their native country, and settling
amid their surviving friends and connexions : and who—
if not thrown into dungeons by their merciless creditors
—have nevertheless been detained inexorably, while these
vultures fattened upon the remnant of their Indian in-
comes, to die in the far-distant scenes of their hard ser-
vices and harder fortunes !

We have been led into these observations by the receipt
of the Bombay Courier of the 28th of March, announcing
the establishment in our Indian Empire of the Act for
the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, and the opening of the

first Insolvent Court at Bombay by the Hon. Sir J. P
GRANT, Chief Judge of that Presidency. The entire of
the Learned Judge's speech on this occasion will be found
in our first page : it was our intention at first to have
given only partial extracts from it, but we have thought
it too important and interesting to abridge.

We have received a pamphlet by Sir ANDREW H L -
LIDAY, on the subject of the insane population of these
kingdoms, full of curious and interesting details. It is
addressed in the form of a letter to Lord ROBERT SEY-
MOUR, whose philanthropic and humane efficiencies in
several of our great hospital establishments, have long
consecrated his name to public gratitude. We have
always thought that the attention of Government might•
be advantageously directed to the improvement of our
national asylums, and of the plan of treatment pursued
in them, with regard to these unfortunate beings ; and
that the letter of Sir At; DILEW HALLIDAY will mate-
rially conduce to hasten this desirable intervention, fva
cannot entertain a doubt. The epistolary portion, how
ever, of this pamphlet, is contained in a very few pages,
the bulk of it being occupied with a statistical Report
—from each county separately—of all the cases of insa.
pity at present existing in them. These returns are
classified into Lunatics and Idiots, and these again are
subdivided into male and female so that at one flanc,
we can perceive not only in what form the afflict:on is
most predominant, but in which of the sexes also. The
Idiots-Lin a very great majority of the return+
-preponderate heavily over the Lunatics, especially
in Scotland, and North and South %Vales : and
the aggregate of afflicted persons in both genera
of alienation in these last mentioned districts, is
also out of all proportion higher than in the English
counties. Throughout all Scotland, for example, the
number of insane persons may be calculated as one for
every five hundred in the population ; and throughout
all Wales, as one in every eight hundred: whereas the
proportion of insane population as ascertained for Eng-
land proper, is about as one to every thousand. As
there is a greater numerical population of females than of
males throughout the whole empire, so the number
of alienated, as well as imbecile persons, preponderates in
that sex : but—except in one or two instances—this pre-
ponderance is only in the ratio of their numerical excess.
In this brief accoudt of the very curious and valuable
Returns of Sir ANDREW HALLIDAY, of course OUT
readers will understand by the term lunacy those intel-
lectual aberrations only, which have been superinduced
by influences exerted upon minds originally sane : such
are love, grief, despair, ambition, terror, avarice—RELl•
GION. The term idiocy relates exclusively to connate
imperfections, with the exception of a very fe►w organic
derangements which have supervened from outward
accident, or very peculiar disease. Thus we frequently
find that children, who survive hydrocephalus, only do so
to stagnate in imbecility to the grave.
It is asserted in this pamphlet, by Sir ANDREW HAL-
LIDAY, that the statistics of insanity have more than
tripled in Great Britain within the last twenty years;
and he presses this fact upon the consideration of the
Government, as pregnant with most alarming sug-
gestions. But we are not of opinion that the
learned and ingenious Knight has made suffi-
cient allowance for the increase of the popula-
tion since the year 1808 ; neither do we think—
with him—that there is any great fear of insanity
ever becoming a formidable characteristic of the Bri-
tish nation. Entitled, however, to our thanks for his
philanthropic exertions, Sir ANDREW is, in a pre-
eminent degree. That idiocy is greatly more predo-
minant amongst us than lunacy, he has satisfactorily esta-
blished. And that mountainous regions—such as Wales
and Scotland—are more conducive than level soils to this
affliction, we think is also deducible from his Reports,
as 'well as from analogous argument drawn from the
Crains, and other idiot mountaineers.

At length we have received the official information of
the Treaty of Peace between Russia and the Porte, in a
Manifesto issued at St. Petersburg on the Ist October,
which document sets at rest all the former Stock-jobing
reports, and premises future repose in the East.

The Accounts received from the Continent this morn-
ing state, that it is credited that some secret articles have
been made in the above treaty, which are the demolition
of Silistria and Shumla. The frigate Raphael to be res-
tored to Russia, and the Turkish fleet in future is not to
leave the Bosphorus. It is also stated by accounts from
Peia, that a Russian Ambassador was expected to arrive
at Constantinople the end of October.

The Consol Market has been very lively during the

the day at 90a got up to 90i a for the Account; owing
to a purchase of about 200 thousand Consols. The
Bulls at present remain masters of the field ; and the
Bears who are afraid of getting another defeat, are
obliged to get into stock; particularly as there is every
appearance that a general peace will be maintained in
Europe. We all anxiously waiting the arrival of the.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

Our Spanish Correspondent at Cadiz has sent us the following
particulars relative to the trade at that place :

CADIZ, Orr. Y.

Large quantities of British manufactures and Colonial
produce have been imported since Cadiz was declared a
free port ; and although the prices were rather low, great
sales have been effected, and in most cases for ready
money. Several English houses of Gibraltar and Lisbon
have established branches of their business here; but it is
remarkable that no other foreigners have followed the ex-
Ample, nor has any person come out direct from England
to settle.

Our export trade here is chiefly confined to sherry
wines ; and it is worthy of remark that this article, of
which only 6,000 butts were annually exported to Great
Britain a few years ago, has increased to more than
20,000 since the duties were lowered !

Several neutral vessels continue to enter our port from
the South American Republics, and their cargoes are'
freely admitted, which was not the case formerly. A
number of vessels have also arrived from Newfoundland,
with Esh—a part of them found a ready market ; the un-
sold cargoes were sent to Alicant and the ports of Italy.
Some timber ships from England are still without buyers.
Had they sent good Newcastle coals, a ready sale and
good prices might be obtained, as we are much in want of
that article.

It is of the greatest importance, that a more certain
and frequent communication should be established be-
tween Cadiz and England. For this purpose, it is to be
hoped that a packet will henceforth run between this
place and Falmouth. At present we only see one in the
course of a month ; and as she merely touches here on
her voyage from the Mediterranean, we have scarcely
time to avail ourselves of the occasion.
The following are the vessels of different nations in our harbour :
viz. English 25, French 5, and 2 brigs of war for the protection of
commerce, Dutch 4, Swedish 6, Russian 8.
The house of Michael Lopez and Co. stopped payment on the
25th ult. This firm was largely connected in England.
