FROM THE LOWER RHINE, Orr. 17.

The very general expectation of the victorious entrance of the
Rawians into Constantinople (to which there was evidently no longer

any serious obstacle,) has been disappointed, by the conclusion of the
Treaty of Adrianople. On the other hand, we have the greater
reason to admire the Emperor Nicholas, as a generous protector 'of
peace. It would be absurd to require the Emperor's generosity to
go so far as to conclude a disadvantageous peace ; no—the peace is,
and ought to be, advantageous to Russia; the contrary would be
a reproach. But even according to the Russian manifesto, and other
declarations of the Russian Court, at the beginning, and during the
course of the war, the demands might now have been greater.
—lf we consider the war just ended in all its bearing., the nego-
cistions of many years that preceded it, the insults that were
offered to Russia, the injury that it sustained from a formal treaty,
of that of Akermann, which was to put an end to all differences,
only added to the well-founded complaints of Russia, by the perfi-
dious neglect of fulfilling it; next how a Turkish Manifesto de-
stroyed, without reserve, every appearance of a prospect of coming
to an amicable arrangement with the Porte ; lastly, if we consider
how this war has been carried on by Russia, with what prodigious
exertions and expense, with what generous conduct towards the
enemy : and lastly, with what astonishingly great success—we must
confess that there are few instances of a conduct equally just,
equally energetic and moderate, as that which Russia has displayed
in the whole course of these political and military transactions. Let
any env show us a treaty of peace concluded during the last 50 years
in which the conqueror with such advantages, and such a position.
showed equal moderation. When even the French politicians exclaim
in their journals against the arrogance of power, the abase of victory,
&c. this is unseasonable in the extreme. What! the Russian
armies are in possession of the must important provinces of the
Turkish Empire, at the very gates of the capital, which they have,
by dear-bought victories in a just war, and not the smallest ad-
vantage should result to their country from such conquests, and
they should retire as if their arms had not been victorious?—.4fige-

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 13.

A journal says, under the head of St. Petetsburgh, it is affirmed
that Prince Chusrew's mis4ion has procured for his grandfather
the Saab, a reduction in the military contribution. A fifth part
of the whole still remained to be paid, of which the Emperor 141
said to hate remitted one half, and to have granted bee years delay
for the payment of the other half. On inquiry, it is said that Count
, Sjornstierna did not state that treaties of commerce with Mesita
and Colocatda had been actually concluded in London, bat that be
had commenced modules, for that purpose with the Ministers of
those powers, which were interrupted by his departure from Lon.
dos.—lhs“Vort Papers, 46th Oct.

A contemporary in giving a detailed report oi
the Special Commission at Cork, has the folloiVing
comments on the formidable conspiracy to exterminate
the Protestants in Ireland :

This measure of the Government has succeeded in its first
stages beyond all eupectation. The Crown prosecution at Cork,
was admirably conducted by the Solicitor-General and his
aides; so well as to develope the ramifications of as bold and
atrocious a conspiracy as ever was hatched by a knot of secret
assassins for the deadliest of purposes ! Human life, in
the estimation of these sworn murderers, was not abso-
lutely worth a pin's fee, bound together by oaths to obey
the orders of their " Committee' the conspirators, it is evident,
would not hesitate to sacrifice the whole County of Cork.—
Monsters of the most infamous character are proved to have been
leagued in formidable confederacy to destroy some of the principal
persons in the county, nor is it yet known to what fearful extent
has this horrible Whiteboy system spread its baneful inilueoce, nor
how many hundreds, nay, thousands of the peasantry, may be
fast linked at this very instant in the foul chain of ini-
quity. Is it possible we can want proof of the unnatural and
truly alarming state of society, in that wide district, after
the evidence adduced on this trial? Three Gentlemen, of
high consideration, are deliberately denounced to death!—
Perhaps the public will inquire what was the crime which merited
a doom so dreadful? The offence then was simply this, as elicited
in Court—Mr. Creagh had the impudence to serve notice of eject-
ment on some defaulting tenants, located an his estate. Admiral
Evans bad the audacity to make a speech in Parliament last May
twelve months, in the honest discharge of his duty as a Senator,
which speech those miscreant legislators construed to be hostile
to the Roman Catholic question ; and lastly, Mr. Bond Lew
was too active and intrepid a Magistrate during the lusurrec.
Lion Act, six years before, and possibly at a subsequent period too.
This was the " very head and front of their offending—no more,"
and the punishment was death! Good Heavens! after such an
exposure is it wonderful that the country should become a desert—
that it should be abandoned to its fortunes by men of rank,
property, and intelligence, and left to the tender mercies of those
reckless savages, who contemplate wholesale bloodshed and
murder with as much indifference as they would a turn up
at a fair ? The first witness produced for the defence
candidly informs the Court upon his oath, that" the whole
country are Whiteboys"—that he knows Whiteboys to be
in his employ, and that they were used to secrete fire-arms in his
haggard ! What a perilous state of things for the. South of Ireland.
Look again to the testimony of Dr. O'Brien, P. P. of Doneraile,
the focus of this infernal conspiracy ; though a witness for the pri-
soners, he explicitly declares, the town and neighbourhood of
Doneraile is "the very reverse of quiet !" Will than the em-
ployment of half-measures be effectual under such a combina-
tion of impending circumstance& ? Will a mistaken lenity be
advisable, when an explosion is momentarily expected? Com.

mon sense will give a negative, and without hesitation we say,
in the present state of the county Cork, it is the imperative duty of
every individual, Interested in the welfare of society at large, to
hunt down these ravenous wolves, who would greedily batten in
the blood of their fellow men—monsters whose existence is a dis.

grace to the country that gave them birth, and to the character Of
human nature. It is expected the four men found guilty on Fri-
day last, will be executed next Saturday."

CITY. Twimvs o'CLock.

We fully expected this morning several important arrivals—the
Jamaica and Mexican Packets—in which we have been disappointed,
owing, no doubt, to contrary winds, which cause our having so few
arrivals this morning ; and in consequence of which we have a great
dearth of information, with no speculation going forward in the
Funds. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 901 to 91 for
Money; and 91 to for the Account—opened at the same price
this morning, with little or no business transacting.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.
CITY HALF-PAST ONE.

The Bulls and Bears appear much fatigued this morning from
their furious attacks of last week, and are resting on their arms,
watching each others movements, causing a great stagnation in the
Funds ; and Consols have continued the whole of the morning at
91 for Money, and 91 to a for the Account. They are also quite
idle in the Foreign Market; scarce a bargain doing to the present
time, and most of the prices are nominal, and near the same as on
Sat urdey.

The private lettets by the express from Paris, bring the French
Rentes in the evening at three per cents. to 82, 90; the Neapolitan
Stock has got up at Paris from 89 to 91.

A private letter from Paris states, as an illustration of
the public credit of Portugal in the French capital, that
bills on Lisbon to the amount of £3,000 were attempted
to be negotiated a few days ago, and although bearing
the most respectable signatures, no person could be found
to touch them.

Accounts from Ancona state, that some important
event is on the point of taking place in Greece, and that
the whole of the attention of the English Government
relates to that country. The lonian Islands are being
reinforced.

A report prevailed at Paris, that all the paper on Madrid
is being bought up there by an august person.
It is said that Miguel has attempted a loan in Eng-
land, as low as 35, 5 per cent. but that no insane or
desperate person has been found to meet his wishes.
Accounts from Naples mention, that since the peace a
considerable fall in grain has taken place.
Letters from Brussels state, that a serious quarrel has
taken place at Leyden between the garrison of that town
and the inhabitants ; the particulars are not as yet known.
This affair has been referred to the King.
Accounts from Odessa of the 9th of October state,
that M. Ribeaupierre has received orders to proceed for
Naples as Ambassador to Constantinople ; and that Count
Diebitach is expected at Odessa where he will remain
for some time.

Letters from Madrid of the 19th Oct. say, that shocks
of earthquakes were felt on the 13th Oct. in Murcia and
Orchuela.

Letters wrote from Toulon 21st Oct. state that 4 brigs
are getting really to sail on the 15th Nov. for the exercise
of the mariners.

It appears, by accounts from St. Petersburgh, that
the object of the mission of Prince Chosiew was to ob-
tain for the Schah, his grandfather, a reduction of con-
tributions.

Letters from Port-au-Prince of the 3d September, say,
that M. Guinebaud, Consul General from France, was
expected there every day. Affairs remain in the same
state of stagnation ; coffee has fallen nine gourdes.

Quebec papers to the 30th September, and Montreal
to the 29th September have been received at the North
and South American Coffee-house. The Quebec papers
are destitute of interest. The Montreal papers have a pa-
ragraph from the Kingston Herald, mentioning a report
that his Excellency, Sir John Colborne, would soon be
promoted to the Government of Nova Scotia, and Sir
Thomas Arbuthnot appointed in his stead as Lieutenant-
Governor of the Upper Provinces. This is not credited in
the Montreal papers.
We lament to hear that Lord HOLLAND is still suffer-
ing under an attack of gout, at Brighton. We trust the
health of the Noble Baron will be entirely re-established
before the approaching meeting of Parliament.
