RECEPTION OF THE AMBASSADORS AT

CONSTAN77NOPLE.

FROM THE HAMPSHIRE TELEGRAPH.

The following is an extract, which will be read with
interest, of a letter received from Ms Majesty's ship Blonde, which
esaveyed our ambassador to Constantinople, dated from that espi-
ed. Jane at:—
" The Blonde is now moored in the port of Constantinople.
right before the Seraglio, or the palace of the Grand Seigneur, from
which we are distant about three hundred yards in a northerly dins-
don. The preparations we were making for the reception of the Bri-
tish ambassador being completed. his Excellency the Right Hon.
Robert Gordon, and suite (twenty-two in number), in which are
comprehended the Earl of Yarmouth, Viscount Musks, and the
Hon. Mr. Grommet, came on board the Blonde at Tenedos, on the
forenoon of Tuesday last, when we weighed and made all sail for
the Hellespont, or western entrance of the Dardanelles, hawks' the
Rifleman sloop of war and Hind in company. The French frights
Amide, with the ambassador of that nation, Count Guillerniaot.
on board, made sail at the same time. On passing the first castle
or strong.battery, which stands on the European side of the Strait.,
a few heavy guns were fired at ds. or rather a little a-bead of the
ship. We were ratbet close to the battery ; indeed sq much so as
to distinctly perceive, by our glasses, that the tremendously heavy
guns in the ground tier were loaded with ponderous bails of marble.
some of which appeared to be equal in circumference to the drum-
head of our capstan. On seeing a boat shove of from the battery
with a Turkish 'Meer on board we shortened sail, and received a
message from the Governor of the castle to the effect that he
could not allow.us to 'pus without an order from his superior.
the Pasha of the Dardanelles, for that, were be to do so, he would
lose his head. To this our Noble Ambassador replied that the
einbasi should proceed forthwith, and that U the Governer fired
another shot at the Blonde he would must assuredly lour his head.
The Turkish boat then pulled of tor the shore with that bold reply,
se we made sail and passed the battery without further molestation.
—About 9 P. as. the wind becoming too light to enable us to stern
the current, w Isla runs here at the rate of about four miles an hour.
we were oblipd to come to an anther. At issidolght a depatatioa of
Turks came on board, with an apolore lions the Pecks of the Dar.
dandies for the viscourtly and unjustifiable act of Mat at
British ship of war with the Pettish Ambassador en Wird,
and stating that the Fiche had directed the Governor to be
thrown into prison, and that he should be subjected to the
immediate punishment of banishment. This apology was, I soder-
stand, considered satisfactory, and fully proportioned to the Macy
act of which the Governor bad be. n guilty. Next day the wind
frosheniog, about 9 r at. we weighed and made ail, and men reseed
the remarkably strong castles which are built neer the nibs of AD y-
dos. on the Asiatic side. and fiestas on the European. Immediately
after pada' those castles the Turkish goverameut gems-beat came
alewife, having on board Captain Hancheirs. TM. gentleman
stated that the Paths of the Dardanelles hart sent his son ao hoard
the steamer for the purpose of paying his (the Pacha's)relsects to
the long-eapected British Ambassador. As the wind was fair. and
as we were desirous of making the most of it, so as to get 'err the
narrows before night, the formality of the young Pacha's visit on
booed shir Mode w.s dispensed with, and a mere interchange of
easupflosents substituted in its stead. After thle• the aide near

TO CORRRSPONDSNTS•
The Important canstwileatloos of Luna"us shall appose
without delay.

Reports are in town .from Lisbon, and resting on the
beet authority, that it is the intention of Don MionEx.
forthwith to re-establish the Holy Office. His own san-
guinary Tribunals, which—unaided—will surely obtain
fur him with posterity the title of " Bloody MIGUEL,"
are then insufilcient for his lust of carnage. How
the Noble Earl at the head of our Foreign gela-
tion* will view• this infraction of the treaty of 1810
with Englatd, in which the abolition of this hor-
rid tribunal is expressly stipulated, we know not : but
for our parts, if he is prepared to acknowledge Don
MID um., we hardly expect that be will boggle, even
at the Inquisition. Ce West que le' premier pds qui
coute.—lt is said, also, that the Spanish Minister at
Lisbon, in concert with the amiable Viscountess JERU-
MLN/lA, represents the sentiments of our Cabinet be-
fore MI6 um.. The Viscountess hes bad several private
interviews with the Usurper, and has delivered him let-
ters from a distinguished hand in England.

Mr. O'Coatx zz.z. has been returned without opposition
for the county of Clare. The Honoirable and Learned
Oesnber addressed the multitude .in a speech of about
two hours from the hustings, in which a great deal, of
sound sense and patriotic feeling was mixed with a large
leaven of objectionable matter. • His pledge never to
interfere with the creed, or doctrines of the Established
Church, but always to go out of the House of Commons
whenever they were debated, considered singly, is in
good taste : but when coupled with the context, regard-
ing Protestant Ecclesiastical Revenzies, it not only loses
all its grace, but sinks even lower than zero as a moral
declaration.

In the few comments which we made on Saturday,
while noticing the nbw policy which—under the admi-
nistration of Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK—NteMS already
to be dawning on India, we did not intend to do more'
than show the direction of our own feelings, and to touch
simply upon some acknowledged generalities. By and
bye we shall institute a more continuous and detailed
examination of the arguments, for iitid cgainit, a renewal
of the East India Compani's Chaiter in the form, and
with the privileges guaranteed at present : and we hope
to demonstrate, without say extraordinary efforts, not
only the inexpediency of such renewal, but the impos-
sibility of , the Leadenhall-street Company to govern
India with justice, and at the same time to hold to
itself by patent its exclusive—or by influence of
local power, its preferable—trade. For, although, as
regards Continental India, the close monopoly of the
Honourable Company may be said to have demised in
1814, it is not the less indisputable that much unfair
adVantage, and preference of goods and market—

nourable Coinpany is never seen to interfere, either in the
cultivation of the plant, or in its manufacture afterwards.
But when it is quite ready for the European markets,
'they -pounce between it and the private merohant with
their lug parses, and sovereign claims to priority ;
tempting by immediate exemption from risk at a small
profit, the proprietor who was going to export, and
overawing individual adventure. It is not generally
known to the unmercantile reader, what a vast source of
revenue in our Indian Empire is derived from indigo
alone : but the importance of a better protection for the
trade in this article will be felt in all its force, when it is
explained that the average quantity imported annually
into Great Britain from India, amounts to three millions
sterling. This plant, indigo, is cultivated and manu-
factured, almost exclusively, by-British subjects, resident
by permission in the interior of India, or what Lord
WILLIAM BLNTINCY—in his Notice,calls the /Ito-
Anil. They have been hitherto tolerated, rather than
protected, by the East India Company's Government;
liable to many petty vexations, and coerced 'by great
restrictions : yet, in the midst of all these, producing the
grand results above stated, by the spirit of private enter-
prise alone, though incapacitated—by legislative pro-
hibition— from owning one foot of the soil which they
render thus productive.
In the other great branches of Indian commerce, such

as cotton, tobacco, pepper, sugar, coffee—but particularly
cotton—the detrimental influence of a trading sovereignty
is more conspicuous. This, we shall endeavour to make
appear in its proper place : in the meantime, we are de-
sirous to correct in erroneous notion, which we have
found prevalent even among intelligent persons concern-
ing the state of our trade with India. It has been supposed
that—always excepting China, which continues a close
monopoly—there has existed since 1814, a free admis-
sion for general adventure and speculation into the
markets of India : • and that in effect, ever since that
period, it has been a fair contest between the chartered
merchant and national enterprise. But this is not the
fact : and though it cannot be disallowed, that in compa-
rison with its pre-existing condition—the trade with India
is undoubtedly free, still a very slight examination will
serve to convince the candid inquirer that its not free
enough. The little that we have already said on the
subject of indigo is an ample illustration : for it will
hardly be maintained that the mere legalising of a com-
petition, which—the moment it shows signs of life—is
overwhelmed by the operations of monopoly, ought to
be deemed an enfranchisement of commerce. The
right to trade at all, in dominions which are subjected
to their government, ought to be taken from these pow-
erful Patentees : or if they cling closer to the wealth it
brings, than they do to the honours of supremacy in the
East, let them keep the trade, but lay down the sceptre
which overawes it. For it will not tax the argumenta-
tive powers of a child, to prove that the two characters
are incompatible ; and that they cannot exercise the func-
tions of the une, without 'morning into cottimion with the
rights of the other. The individual interests, and stakes
inseparable from commercial 'speculation, cannot but
greatly curb and modify their public policy—and the only
way to impart a generous direction to that, is by discon-
necting the sovereign from the merchant :
Hoe tents derivate cladee !
These remarks, we hope, will suffice to open the eyes
of those who, labouring under the popular mistake that
the trade with India is as free as it ought to be, believe
that the great question between the Hon. Company and
the national commerce, is confined altogether to China.

From Buenos Ayres we learn that military prepara-
tions are still going on in that city with increased ac-
tivity. Troops bare embarked, and likewise artillery,
to form, it is said, an expedition against Santa Fit. The
monteneros hover about in the neighbourhood of the
city, and daily skirmishes take place. It is rumoured
that another action between this armies of General Le-

We have a number of arrivals this morning, both in

Buenos Papers of a late date, to the 16th of May,
Quebec Papers to the sth of July, and Mauritius
Papers to the 26th of April, have been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house.

The Quebec Papers of the 4th of July are uninterest-
ing. They only state that provisions are very scarce at
Barbadoes.

Accounts from Jassy of the Bth of July confirm the
report that General Pahlen had passed the Balkan.
Letters from Toulon state that great exertions are
making there to get ready the bomb vessels, as the French
Government have demanded an ultimatum from the Dey
of Algiers, who, according to most accounts, is of dis-
pawl to come to any arrangement.
Letters from Liverpool report the failure of another
house there.

The French frigate Magicienne was expected from
Monte Video at Buenos Ayres.
Private letters are in town from Buenos Ayres of the
31st of May, fourteen days later than the Papers, which
bring very unfavourable information from that quarter,
stating that all the shops at Buenos Ayres were shut up,
the inhabitants under arms, and that the Government had
issued orders that no payment should take place. A
battle was expected every moment ; and great fear was
entertained, should the opposing army be victorious, the
town would be plundered by the mountaineers or Whoa.
A correspondent requests us to inquire, " whether any
particular Convention has been entered into between that
well-organised party the pickpockets, and the police of
the metropolis, to the elect of allowing the former to
pursue with extraordinary impunity their depredations in
the streets ?" Our correspondent is led to these obser-
vations from having witnessed, and been himself twice
robbed within a week, by these marauders, between the
corner of Southampton-street, Strand, and the ruins of
Exeter Change. They contrive to collect a crowd, and
pretend to look at the remains of the house which lately
fell down ; the passengers unguardedly stop, and whilst
examining the premises, their pockets are rifled, and the
robbers get clear of. Oh, Sir Richard, Sir Richard,
sleep less in thy chair, and protect the property of thy
fellow-citizens.
