the absence of knowledge as to the real facts, and the

To these facts we have only to add, that op to the

the repeal of the paltry Agricultural Horse Tax, all
possibility of retrenchment was peremptorily denied.—
Even in the very debate before " the boon" was EOll-
- by the Marquess of Londonderry, poor Mr.
Vansittart was permitted to denounce this wholesome
attempt at compelling some regard to economy, "the
beginning and opening of a general attack upon the
finances;" but his more provident coadjutor, who saw
and dreaded the approaching storm, soon after announced
the intended adoption of efficient measures of economy
in the rowing Session. Here then are all the proofs de-
mar.ded. Here is a successively continually failing
revenue—here is the adoption of mere temporary in-
efficient fallacious promises and expedients—here is
resistance (•uclt resistance as influence first and lastly
imprecation could afford) to retrenchment—and finally
here is the submission and the yielding which convert
hostility into contempt, but which yet afford none of
ti.at sure and certain hope that is to come and only to
come from great abilities, operating a mighty change
in the scitemcs of finance, substituting principles and
powers competent to disperse the difficulties and the

At this point then we may quit the evils under

Saturday. the 29th ult. a Meeting of Owners and
Oerapiers of Land took place at the Fountain
Canterbury—" in order to consider the general
tenour of the Report of the Select Committee
in the last Parliament, and the best means of
farther prosecuting this most important object io the
enstong Session of Parliament." The Meeting was
digisiy respectable, consisting of most of the principal
Landoirners in the E...stern Division of the County,
among whom were Sir Henry Oxenden, Bart. Sir
lirooLe William Bridges, Bart. John Plutnptre, Bart.
Edward Knight, Esq. Colonel Brydges, William
Os uond Ilammond, Esq. lieo►ge Hipps, Esq. M.P.
Iteckford Wildman, Esq. M.P. William H.
ltal.lork, Esq. Carr Culmer. Esq. Edward Rice.
E.q. William Delmar, Esq. Edward Boys, Esq. &c.
&c. The Members for the County, Sir Edward
Knatchhull and William Philip Honywood, Esq. were
also present. In the absence of Sir John C. Bony-
wood, John Plumptre. Esq. was called to the Chair.
The fmlowing are extracts from some of the inte-
resting speeches delivered on this occasion :
Mr. IloxvuOOD stated that one cause of the pre-
sent distress was the resumption of euh payments,
I.nt he would also add, that it equally proceeded from
excessive taxation, for before the year 1793, when
wheat was 435. per quarter, the amount upon the
national debt was only Ms millions, now when the
average of wheat is only 51s. per quarter, the
charge on the debt is forty millions, or nearly qua-
drupled:

Mr. J. D. Palmas observed that there was a era- I
sure which be considered would contribute to the
relief of the farmer, namely the adoption of a Pro-
perty Tea, by which Govereinent would be enabled to
remit litany taxes, which indirectly, as well at directly,
bore beery on the farmer, and the burthens of tax-
ation would thereby be sustained more equally by the
lauded and monied interests.

Mr. TYLIM4 said the distress felt at the present
moment was extreme, and it became them as men of
Kea, to make use of each langtage, as would in
manly terms express their situation. He did not be-
shale to say, if things went on one or two years lor.ger
in this way, many who were here at the present mo-
ment would be in a situation of extreme distress, per-
haps themselves might have to go to the very poor-
houses they were now supporting; this might be
tanned a gloomy idea, hut it might unhappily be
realised. He knew of one instance particularly, which
dare upon their distress: a practical farmer of the Isle
of Thanet, some time since went to France, and ne-
utral enough, his attention was directed to the agri-
culture of that country ; he observed some wheat, the
produce of a particular soil, such as we have not in
oar country or Ireland. Soon after, on his return
home, be saw some of the same wheat brought into
Ramsgate harbour, imported as Irish wheat. The cir-
cumstance bad been communicated to a gentleman in
the Treasury, but ne steps bad been taken to detect
thaw transtactioss. if we are to pay taxes something
out be does; a new system of taxation must be

GOVERJYMENT ORDEit Tis.OTTOMAN
PORTE.

' Vlrim `rnit:76.—Acconne, from ibliiiitantinople,
dated the Sth of December, which maks no 'mention of
td►9 revolt of the Janissaries, "nor of say disturbance,
imumunicate tile following news:—
The energetic representations of the English and
Austrian Ambassadors, relative to the varionleacesses
tintantitted by fanatical individuals who :bevy attained
Ihelr object. On the 30th of November, a Govern.
went Order was published which prescribes great
severity against all excesses of this bind. It is as
'fellows:— ;•. •
" The perfidy of the treasons and revolts batched
by the Greelt nation hare united the Mussulmans of
all classes under their standards, and have caused then
mianimously to a►sume a warlike attitude.
" But it belongs only to the Government to punish
die seditious Rajas, who are reJlly guilty of high
treason. This 'duty it will perf..rin with seal, when
those who are convicted of this crime fall into its
hands.

" On the contrary, those against whom there is no
ground of reproach, who prosecute their occupations
in a peaceable and honourable manner, ought to be
placed out of the reach of danger, and protected by all
possible ineafis.
"For this reason, some time ago the most formal
orders were despatched on this point to the au-
thorities, and firmans hare been psblished, in virtue
of which the innocent Rajss are neither to be vexed
nor punished; and the subjects of powers in peace,
and maintaining friendly relations with the Ottoman
Government, as well as all those who depend upon
the sublime Porte, are nut to be exposed to any insult
or any danger.
" Nevertheless, immoral, evit-disposed, ■nd infa-
tuated men, have transgressed the orders of the Su-
blime Porte, and committed acts altogether opposed to
the intention of the Government. which has therefore
found it necessary to order the attest and tho' rigid
punishment of the persons who engage in these ex-

" The Sublime Porte confirms, in the most exp►ess
manner, by the present rest-rip, all previous orders of
a similar nature. Henceforth, then, let care be taken
not to insult in any manner whatever the peaceable
Rajas, or those who regularly follow their occupa-
tions ; and let the same conduct be observed towards
the subjects of friendly Powers. This new and pre-
cise order is therefore addressed to all magistrates and
officers of police, to take patticular care that no in-
jury or insult be experienced by the 113.345-who have
taken no part in the revolt and conspiracy, or to the
subjects of foreign Powers who maintain relations of
peace and amity with the Sublime Porte. Let every
perverse transgressor of this order, who shall thus
offend our sacred law, be punished in the sererst man-
ner by the Chief of the corps to which he belongs.
" The present ordinance, thus renewed, which is to
be strictly enforced, with the particular prohibition of
all abuses by means of fire-arms, is addressed for that
purpose to all commanders and magistrates in order
that they may superintend its execution, and he per-
sonally responsible thereof."

1111OCK EXCHANGE,' TWKLVE O'CLOCK.
—There is ilitilislaingstiodaye sod Consols condone
as yesterday. •
Paris papers late arritled to the 80, instant. Those
of Monday remark, diet the jourpals of Frankfort,
Augsburg, and other towns in the smith of German,
which two days ago annottaced the arrival of Austrian
&patches relative to the acceptance of the Russian
shinsatust by the Porte, now maintain a remarkable
'Hannon that subject. The Avetsian Observer, a
deed-official paper, on the other band, furnishes an
snide nlative to the sentiments of the Porte, which
proves that the Divan, if not reduced to the condition of
accepting of the terms of Russia, has been compelled
to make sane acknowledgment of submission to the
dictates of humanity. Through the stemmas repre-
sentations of the English and Austrian Ambassadors,
a censure has been passed by the TurkiabsGoveroment,
against the atrocities of the Turks against the Greeks.
A formal order has been issued, as appears in another
column of our paper, which threatens to punish all
those " immoral, evil-disposed, and infatuated" Mus.
sultnans, who, it is pretended, " have transgressed the
orders of the Sublime Porte, and committed excesses
contrary to the intention of the Government."
Whether there is any disposition or power to enforce
this order, or whether it he not issued less from a feel-
ing of humanity than (rein the motives of policy, tol
,conciliate the allies of the Turkish Government, and
deprive its enemies of one of the grave charges with
which it has been accused, remains to be seen in tic
sequel. In the mean time, of whatever other impor•
lance this order may be reckoned, it can have no effect
upon the Councils of St. Petersburg, or on the matters
in dispute between Risen and the Porte. As article
from Petersburg, of the 14th ult. says, we wait each
moment for the manifesto of our Court against the Ot-
toman Porte. No one doubts that war will take plate,
and that it should do so is the first and onsunsows
wish of the nation. The soldiers regard it as a sacred

cause—a war of religion, since they bays been in-
formed of the destruction of the churches of their own
religion' by the Ottomans. Orders are Rive■ to
form twelve regiments of Butane from the Cossacks
of the Ukraine. Nothing more clearly announces
the approaching commencement of hostilities.—
In the late accounts from Constantinople to Vienna,
a very different version'is given from that which had
prevailed' relative to the operation of the Persians.--
By direct and authentic news, it is said, from Teheran.
dated October 19, it is understood, that the Persian
war was either at an end, or nearly terminated. No-
thing was koown at the Court of Teheran beyond she
irruption of Prince Mohamed-Ali-Mirsa into the Pa.
shalick of Bagdad ; but it is stated that no orders were
given for this irruption, which has besides had no re-
sale of any consequence. It is asserted that nothing
was known of the military operations on the Upper
Euphrates; that the Go►ernor of Tabris, Abbas-Mirza,
second son of the successor of Schah, bad been
authorized to commence them; and that if hostilites
had taken place in Armenia, they can only be attribued
to the Cordes, who are always inclined to war and pil-
lage. But whatever be the case with regard to these
anterior events, it is certain that the Schah of Persi■
has declared in the most positive manner that it en-
tered in no respect into his views to commence a war
with the Porte : and that precise orders bad been
transmitted to the two Princes not to permit any hos-
tility against the Turkish provinces. It now remains
to be known whether, after the receipt of this news,
the Porte will withdraw the declaration of war issued
against Persia.—Sach a story as this, has, however.
been eiitrulatedbefore, and has not met with any
credit. '

The changes in the Turkish Cabinet are noticed in
these adrices, in the following manner:---The dismissal
of the late Reis Effendi caused souse interruption in
the diplomatic negoeiations ; but within the few last
weeks different conferences hare taken place with the
foreign Ministers. The previa Reis Effendi assisted
at these conferences, as well as the Kadiasker of Rowe-
ll& and Ganil-Effendi, one of the most experienced
sidemen of the Turkish empire, wl o occupied the
poet of Reis Effendi until the Greek insurrection
broke out.

According to the French papers the alhirs of the
Greeks are wearing at present a very favourable
aspect; and the speech of the King of Frame, at,
the opening of the Seesioo,relstive to their straggle.'
Is said to have beef received by them with paeral
eatbsslasm. They are represented to be at length
