" Four Senators set out last week far Warsaw, to be
present at the meeting of the Tribunal of the Kingdom,
,to decide in the affair of the persons concerned in the
conspiracy.

The French Papers received last night cintsin no
later intelligence from Constantinople than what ap•
peareil in the STAR of yesterday, they continue, how-
ever, to reiterate, from different quarters, the determi-
nation of the Porte to resist the interference of the Allies.
If it be true that the SULTAN has resolved to proceed to
the last extremity, rather than comply with the wishes
of the Allied-Powers, there must also be some truth in
the report that he is in expectation of support from one
or more of the Christian State;. It would be denying,
him-that sense which we believe he possesses in a high
degree, if we were to suppose that he would proceed
single-handed to oppose the three most powerful na-
tions in the world, if he did not calculate upon aid
from some effectual quitter. Upon the authority of
the Augsburg Gazelle, we learn, that Mr. STRATFORD
CANNING has received from the British Envoy at the
Court of Persia the news of a brilliant victory obtained
by the Russians over the Persians, in which the latter
lost 40,000 men, and the conquerors 11,000.

Honduras Papers to the 22.1 July have been received

" CENTRAL AMERICA.—It is currently reported by
the Spaniards who have lately visited this town, that the
Guatemalean army is again in the field, and actually in-'
vesting the city of San Salvador. Font Mingo is situated,
a league from the city, but it is indifferently fortified.

" Several contracts for our staple of next season's cut-
Ong have been proposed, but we have not heard as yet
of any being concluded ; the price demanded by the
cutters is Sol. per M. feet. Purchasers, however, ap-
pear to held off, but we are in expectation of many en-
gagements being made by Ist August.
44 It is gratifying to perceive that all the causes which
have hitherto been alleged for the low prices of maho-
gany are removed at all events for the present season, it
being a general remark,even amongst the oldest standers
in the Colony, that this year's wood far exceeds that of
many of its predecessors both in size and quality ; and
we have ourselves noticed an extra degree of attention
given to the squaring, which, if it does not enhance,
the value, will diminish the charges of freight.

Tmt DUKE or WELLINGTON'S 'VISIT to YORK.
YORK, SEPTEMBER 14.
It having-been publicly announced that his Grace
the Doe Of WELLINOTOWAvOIIici this day honour our
ancient City with his presence, the inhabitants. with a
spirit highly creditable to themselves, and gratifying to
his Grace's mind, determined to pry that honour to the
6- Great Captain of the age" which his glorious achieve-
ments bad entitled him to, and which had endeared
his person and charaiter to every Briton. His ex-
pected arrival had excited a great interest in this
neighbourhood, and many persons in the surround.
ing districts, for a considerable distance, came here
to obtain a sight of the Hero of Waterloo. At the din-
ner on Grimstone-hill, on Saturday. the Archbishop of
Yuma sat on the right' hand of Lady HOWDEN, and
the Duke of Wer.r.tmerom on her left. Ai the table
also were Lord CLANWILLIAW, the Earl of ROSELYN,
Sir J. BENG, Generals BERMORD and PHIPPS. the Loan
MAYOR, Colonel WALLACE, 4th Royal Dragoon's
T. 0. GASCOIGNE, Esq. Captain Paws, J. SIMPSOW,
and J.-Banatca, Esqrs. the City Sheriffs, &c. &c.
Sunday a distinguished party dined with the Doke at
Lord HOWDEN.s. On Monday, at nine o'clock, his
Grace arrived at the Palace of Bishopthorp, where,
tatter breakfasting with the ARCEIBISHOP, be set out
to make his public entry into York. The morn-
ing was Brie and serene, and at an early hour the
bustle in our streets showed' that it was a day of more
than ordinary interest. At half past eight the Band
and Staff of the 2d West York Militia took their
station near the Bridge ; and soon afterwards the
Standard-beaters and the Members of three lodges
of Odd Fellows joined them, with their Band.
In a short time they formed, and, preceded by a
troop of the Yorkshire Yeomanry Cavalry, they pro-
ceeded about a mile on the south road. About half
past ten the Doke of Wellington drove up, in an open
carriage, accompanied by Lord Bowden, of Grimston
Park, the Hussars having formed a guard of honour ;
and when the procession had reached nearly to the en-
trance of the city, the populace took the horses from
his Grace's carriage, and he was drawn into the city
with ropes. An immense number of banners, bearing
the names and dates of the victories of his Grace, pre-
ceded his carriage. As the procession entered the c"ty
his Grace was cheered by the populace, 'and the win-
dows were crowded with an assemblage of female
beauty.

Tne Corporate Body having previously determined
to present his Grace with the freedom of the city In an
elegant gold box, value 50 guineas, they proceeded to
the Concert Room, which was filled with• Ladies niche
city and vicinity, and there waited his Grace% arrival.
On the D ik!'. en-rinc.t, the military band in attend-
ance struck up " See the conquering hero comes;"
and the pLiuiits of the au lierice was deafening in the
extreme.

The worthy II •corder (R. StscLarn, Esq.) as soon as
silence could be obtained, addressed his Grace, and said
that he was directed by the Lord Mayor an I C .m-
-monalty to offer their sincere and grateful thanks for
the honour of this visit. They had traced his Grace's
progress through his military life and achievements ;and
marked, with admiration and astonishment, his sound
judgment by which he was enabled to make all inci- 1
dents terminate in success,and redound to his honour and
glory. It was truly a most providential circumstance,
that his Grace was destined, by an over-ruling Power to
have to compete with one whose ambition had prompted
him to subvert the very order of things in every go-
vernment and state of the world; and that his Grace
was enablid to lay, by victories, a foundation for the
re-establishment of peace and tranquillity to Europe.
The Recorder concluded by saying, that he 'and his
fellow-citizens joined their gracious Sovereign in the
universal sentiment that " the Duke of Wellington had
deserved well of his country
The Lose LORD MAYOR then-presented the Duke with the
Freedom of the City, in a gold box, on which was
inscribed,

" Presented by the Mayor and Commonalty of the cky of York,
to the Mon Noble AILTHOR Duke of Wellington,
with the Freedom of the City,
September 24, 1527.
Wmttass Homuntsou Mamma, Lord Mayor."
The Duke of WELLINGTON, amidst great applause,
said, that he begged most sincerely to thaak the Lord
Mayor and Corporation for the great honour conferred
upon him, by his admission to the freedom of the city
of York. This mark of distinction should certainly
stimulate him to greater exertions to deserve. the ap-
' probation oflis fellow subjects. He had expected
to have merely passed through the city as it strap.
ger, after visiting his old and valued friend, Lord
Howden. He should therefoie receive the freedom of
the city-as if it had been bestowed upon him after a
long interval of departure from a people, with wham
Ire had enjoyed a social intercourse. He regretted that
a previous engagement prevented him from prolonging
his stay in a city, where he had received so hearty a
welcome.
Mr. Alderman WILSON, father of the Corporation,
having spoken a well-deserved eulogium on the Duke
The LORD MAiroa said he had a pleasing dUty to
perform—namely, to present an Address of Congratu-
lation to his Grace from the City at large, expressive of
their esteem for him as a man, and regard as a Com-
mander. His Lordship then read the Address, which
was as follows :
The Inhabitants of the City of York and its vicinity, eagerly
avail themselves of the opportunity allowed them by your Grace's
passing throtigh this ancient City, ti present their tribute of admi-
ration and gratitude, for the numerous, splendid, and important
services your Grace has rendered to your country, as well as to
manifeet their unfeigned respect and esteem for your person and
le:hammer. Lamenting, as they deeply do, those circumstances •

Lich rawest a OWN method with of their iegard; that let titer
tore to hope, that this expression of their feelings will be acceptable
to your Grace; and that it will afford a proof, however aitat, of
the high Tillie they place upon those brilliant victories and aching,
meats which have sea splendidly Intreased the fame of Great 2,1;
taiga, and procured for your Grate a name which will ever boil

and

1 The Down again acknowledged his senseof the ho,
nour conferred upon him, and skid that it was not 19
him alone his country was indebted for a terminatiql
of a long and procrastinated war—there were many of
his old and brave comrades around him; to whom much
of the honour was due—many of whom he would nen.
speak without applause, or think of without feelings n 1
igratitude. The British troops had Man to contend
with, but they had also many advantages. They fought
under an excellent Prince, whose loss had ban "mot
bemoaned, and which was irreparable—an Ad,ia,
tration, whose counsels were most judicious—a sore.
reign most gracious, and a people most patriotic and
noble. His Grace again regretted that he could not
cultivate a better acquaintance with the Citizens of
York, and retired from the Concert Room amidst the
acclamations and cheers of the people.
The Dona then visited out noble Cathedral, and Pas
there rtended by the Archbishop, the Dan, and the
Rev. W. Valtuost ; after which, he was escorted out of
the city, in the order in which he entered.

Several dinners were held at various inns in the city,
in honour of his Grace's visit, and the evening Ku
%pent with the utmost conviviality.
