CITY HALF-PAST ONE.

The Funds have continued very steady during the morning.
Consols at 91 for the Account, and 901 to 91 for Money, although
about 100 thousand Money Stock has been brought to Market
which was purchased by the jobbers. The Commissioners gave
91 for Consols. Money is plentiful at 2 per cent.

The public would be led to believe, by the Express
from Paris this morning, which contains a letter from
Malta, that England wishes to rekindle the war in the
East. This letter, no doubt, is inserted in the French
Papers for some stock jobbing purpose, for all the private
accounts from the Continent state that the different
Powers in Europe are on the most friendly terms, and
determined to prevent any future hostilities in the East.
The above is corroborated by the following, received at
Toulon, of the arrival of the corvette Diligente, which
anchored in the roads of Toulon on the 7th instant, from
the Dardanelles, with dispatches to the French Govern-
ment, stating that peace having been concluded between
the Porte and Russians, the French, English, and Rus-
sian fleets had retired from the .Dardanelles. The Eng-
lish squadron is gone to Malta, the Russian to Poros,
and the French to Navarin ; but a part of the Russian
fleet having received some damage, is going to Toulon
to repair. The above account of each of the three Allied
Powers' squadrons going to different ports must dispel all
idea of any differences between them in regard to the
peace in the East.
Accounts from the Danube state, that in consequence
of the exhausted state of Moldavia and Walachia, it is
reported that a loan will be required for Moldavia of
800,000 ducats, and Ifor Wallachia a million. The
Russian Government offers its guarantee for the pay-
ment of the above loans in ten years. Houses at
Vienna and Buchaest are reported to be in treaty
for it.

A Lisbon mail has arrived by the Sandwich, sailed on

Tilt Kisc.—His MAJESTY continues in the best
health and spirits—taking his rides almost daily in the
beautiful vicinity of the Royal Lodge, and generally driv-
ing himself. A series of splendid entertainments will be
given at Windsor Castle, during the approaching great
festival of Christimas.

The Duke of CUMBERLAN D came to town yesterday
morning, and in the afternoon returned to Kew.
Viscount ALTHORP, M.P. has arrived at his seat,
WistowHall, near Selby, from his father's, Earl SPENCER,
Althorp House, Northamptonshire. Viscount DowNE
has arrived at his seat, Cowick Hall, Yorkshire, from a
tour. Lord and Lady MUNCASTER are on a visit at
Byrom, near Ferrybridge, the seat of Sir J. RA ms-
DEN, Bart.
At the village of Thornton, in Dorsetahire, an
ancient custom exists among the tenants of lands f de-
positing be in a hole, in a certain tombstone in the church-
yard, which prevents the Lord of the Manor from taking
tithe of hay during the year. This must be done on St.
Thomas's Day, before 12 o'clock, or the privilege is lost.

THE TREATY OF ADRIANOPLE.

The Turkish treaty concluded, all sinks once more to slumber.—
Roused from their disgraceful sleep, the British people were, for an
instant, harrowed with consternation at the impending fall of the
Ottoman capital—not yet surrendered it is true—but lying at tv
conqueror's feet. While our contemporaries were dosing the
public with gentl.t opiates, as if by intoxication to render them in-
sensible or care!ess of danger, we did not fail to ring the alarum—
and from the first moment the Russian advanced guard insulted
th,• adverse banks of the Pruth, we have never ceased to inch, are
the flight of the Russian eagle even to the gates of Constantinorle.
e con:thmhat we anticipated its tall—and if its fate has beets pro-
longed for a whiter, it i 4, nevertheless, morally a conquered spoil—
a Nlu-covite city! Who could have foreseen, that the in-
comparable Sultan, exalted to a hero by our c..ittempora-
dr% could have subscribed to so disgraceful a treaty, merely
for the poor advantage of a bti4 respite—a little breath•
ing time. Where was the invincible standard of the
Iloly Prophet? Where the devoted band that was to fight in des-
peration round it ?—the Asiatic reserve ao•I the Albanian levy?—
Where, shall we ask more military wri:rrs thin one, the patriot
poisulace that were to ris: "cot muse- —tbe indomitable troop.) that
were to guard each pass and fastness of the Ilelkan?—where that
4tlntirable Vizier whore defeat at I'ravadi was belied into a victory

--whose flight—called a retreat—filled the writers with estary ?
—The fate of that battle, and disoiderly dispersion ot turbans, only
increased th:• confident mendacity of tho,e, who would saeen
Mniisters , and the whole Ve3 . trumped up into a •• ruse de guerre"
to allure the invaders to destruction tugitive. were to rally,
and the Vizier, bursting lions the Ila•tions of Shumla like the
thunders of heaven, was to annihilate the barbarous Cossack for
his temerity.

Russian triutr ph in Romelia was treated at more visionary than
the invasion of the moon—and the imperial victims, if miraculously
spared hom the scymitar, were poor wretches, daunted to perish
of cold, hunger, and fatigue, in the deserts of Bulgaria.—Our cot-
respondent, "Miles," familiar with foreign camps, whose atten-
tion had been long directed to the situation of Turkey and the
strength and resources of a Russian army, was slighted, when he
argued the fall of the Ottoman—and the emanations of his profes-
sional knowledge were contemptuously treated by some, as the
mere inspiration of books. Politicians really speculative, treated
us as chimerical; and now that our prophetic warnings have bleu
verified to the letter, our further anticipations are treated with
disregard, while these drivellers continue still to deceive their
readers and themselves, with dreams tending to cloak the
perpetrators of mischief, and lull an abused people till their
ruin be complete. These political impostors, with hydra-
headed falsity, are, as fast as their successive delusions are de-
tected, fabricating new duperies to hoodwink the multitude—
more ignorant than the mass they would inform. More indifferent
to our danger, and more truckling to mix-government, they feli-
citate the country on its escape from disaster in the Levant—con
gratulate our commerce on its security from further apprehension—
and assure us of Europe's long future tranquillity. Now, in the
very face of their idle assertions, we shall once more stand
up as prophets, sad examining the motive, actual efficacy, and
end of the present Treaty, proceed to divine its resulting
events. With a wide desert to traverse—destitute of
roads—defiles to thread, and mountains to surmount, cffering
insuperable obstacles to the transport of baggage and material, and
only opening a difficult passage to a country where resources were
likely to be precarious, if not altogether destroyed; while a for-
midable fortified force in the rear, compelling the necessity of de-
taching an adequate corps of observation, all combined to impose
arbitrarily on the Russian General, the obligation and expediency
of alone advancing with an unincumbered supportable force : ap-
proaching winter, and the necessity of promptly following up vic-
tory, compelled Dumas to precipitate himself upon the coe-
val's capital with numbers insufficient to maintain it : while
the coming rains and snows in Bulgaria, and the boisterous waters
of the petit Bosphorus, in the inclement 'caw+, threw fatal im-
pediments to immediate necessary reinforcements, as well by the
Balkan as by embarkation—the movements of Austria, the proxi-
mity of our lonian army, and, la►t not least, the measures which
the combined Stets of jealous allies might adopt in Audi a position,
to hat his isolated army—cut off supplies by the Black Sea, or
fatally to promote the danger with which hi. small adventurous
corps must have been beset in the midst of a hostile population,
doubtless altogether concurred to stimulate a secret wish
with Duman to gain time, and to cheat the winter in un-
molested possession of territories already conquered—the• ob.
Jett of his Imperial Master besides, not being the mere flou-
rish of Military parade in Turkey, or his ambition to be
satisfied by profitless military occupation ; but to Annex—colonise—
and consolidate. The rapidity of Diebitscb, therefore, hadoutrun
the progress of the most formidable and effectual part of this me-
morable expedition, namely, the commercial, the agricultural,
manufacturing—artists and artisans—with their civil and religions.
authorities coming up from their ice-prisoned ports, their dwarf
wastes, remote and unfrequented cities, in the rear of the 'Jct..
lions army, to people and secure every inch of Romelia's garden-
land, wrested front its Moslem possessors. A little time, there-
fore, was more precious than victory—both military and civil
numbers hastily collected at Odessa—were, and are yet only
waiting the means mid proper period to transport them-
selves to their new possessions. These were the considerations
which prevailed on Deibitsch to relinquish yet awhile the glorious
prize still lying at his mercy. The Sultan's entreaties for peace
were received with eager satisfaction, and with the tone of well
dissembled moderation ; conditions were imposed beyond the
power of the fallen Porte ever to fulfil, deprived as it is of its
richest resources in Greece, its late possessions north of the Balkan,
its magazines and granaries—Trebizonde and Erzeroum—deserted
by its tributary Asiatics and Egyptians—nay. betrayed by its own
children of Europe. Under favour of this insidious treaty, fatal to
the Ottoman, and basing to the rest of Europe, General
Deibitsch sits quietly down in winter cantonments, quar-
tering on the enemy ; and safely waiting the approach of
spring and whelming reinforcements, to accuse the Sultan
rif breaking impossible conditions; and to take open perma-
nent posses-ion of thePotte and its dependencies.—Seth is the peace
at which we rejoice—such is the lenity fur which we compliment
the Czar—such is the pretext of renewed laxity with our debile
short-sighted Ministry. We have been pruphecying true so far—
and our present predictions we pledge ourselves will be verified by
approaching results; the pacification of the East is as the paci-
fication of Ireland and Portugal—a smothered emlwr about to
burst into a flame ! And dearly must we pay for the rash ill-timed
experiment of trying a Government unskilled in affairs of state,
composed of political apprentices and presumptuous soldiers;
who, if you choose to except the narrow matters connected with
their trade, have not eyes to see clearly beyond the nose. Precious
leaders fur such an Empire—its such emergency—and in the nine-
teenth century !—How posterity will scuff and curse us !!!

One of the sons of Sir THOMAS S. M. STANLEY,
Bart. is about to be married to Miss MOSTYN, daugh-
ter to Sir EDWARD MOSTYN, Bart. of Talacre,
Flintshire. Both families are Roman Catholics, and of
the highest respectability. Sir S. STANLEY, of Hooton
Hall, represents the ancient stock of the STANLEYS,
from which sprang the STA N LETS, afterwards Earls
of Derby and Lords of Man. Lady STANLEY is a daugh-
ter of Sir C. MAOGERSTONE, Bart. of Cumberland, to
whose family Mrs. FITZIIERBERT is closely allied. Sir
E. MOSTYN's family is a junior branch from that of Sir
Tit om As MOSTYN, of Mostyn Hall—the latter, however,
being a Protestant, and well known for his attachment
to field sports.—Berkshire Chronicle.
