wish Bonds, which opened at 281. Those insignificant ar•
ticks Poyais Bonds, were declining rapidly this morn-

giving notice that the dividend would be paid to day,
they got up to 6 ; they were previousiy offered at 2 prm.

If anything were needed to chew that the English Minis-
try were parties to the spirit, if not to the letter, of the
Hely Alliance, it would be found in the language employed
by Lord Strangford, our ambassador at Constantinople, in
his character of mediator between Turkey and Russia.—
This Nobleman even goes so far in his mediation, as to
threaten Turkey with a war with England, if the former
persists in being " unreasonable" with regard to Russia;
and the impossibility of subduing Greece, while disputing
with the magnanimo us Alexander, is thus officially stated :
—" It ibould, moreover, be remarked, that such conduct
could not fail to redouble the expectation so long cherished
by the Grecian insurgents, that the patience of the Emperor
Alexander must finally be exhausted. If, in short, the
rebellious Chiefs had themselves been sitting at the Coun-
cil table of his Highness, would not they have been fore-
most to say—" Offend and incessantly irritate Russia ; go
farther, and, while annoying the commerce of all Christian'
nations, provoke a war between Turkey and England, and
perhaps with all Europe." This language is certainly not
to be misunderstood. An English Ambassador, acting
as Mediator for Russia, says to Turkey—" Make baste,
" and settle all your differences with Russia, and then you
6, will bare a far better chance of reducing the ' insurgent
" Greeks,' and cutting the throats of the rebellious chiefs,
'• whose cause you are now promoting; and even en-
" dangering your own territory; for if you do not make
" peace with Russia, you will provoke a war with England ;
" and perhaps with all Enrope." A more disgraceful, a
more disgusting conduct was never heard of ;—but it is as
treacherous and wicked, towards 'the liberties of this coun-
try. as towards those of Greece. Our Ministers have
boasted in and out of Parliament, of their neutrality, with
regard to the struggle between Greece and Turkey; and Mr.
Canning has most deceitfullyobtained the credit of having
rendered the ptofessian of neutrality real in the Mediter
salmon. From the language of Lord Straugford, however,
who must receive his instructions from Mr. Canning, as
Foreign secretary, it appears that the language used at
Constantinople and in London are very different. The
Greeks are proclaimed Insurgents by an English Arnhem.
dor, speaking in the name of the King of England ; and
the leaders of the Greeks are denounced as " Rebellious
Chiefs." This is Ibe neutrality of Mr. Canning ! This is
the good faith of the British Cabinet! The time chosen
for this conduct is equally remarkable. It is at the crisis of
the affairs of Spain, when the Holy Allies, having as they
think completed one piste of work, are looking out for an'
other. During the struggle in Spain, on Minis'
ten carefully disowned any commotion with the
oldectsof the Holy Allies. They affected I. stand aloof from
