(Fro=mthc Ekd leA WVe have received letters from Constantinople, dated the 4th in- stant: the most remarkable portion of their contents is as follows:- On the 23d ult, Lord Strangford had a long conference with the Reis-Effendi. He gave him the assurance that the King, his master, had recalled all the English officers who had entered in the service of the Greeks-that the Britisl Cabinet would abstain from taking any dirert or indirect part whatever in the existing war ; and in proof of this, he citcl the events of Ithaca, where the English showed that they were far from being disposed to aid the Christian insurgento. The Reis-Effendi, in reply, eagerly (Iclivered to Lord Strangford a written promise to evacuate Walachia forthwith, and Mioldavia in a very short time. Every thing will he re-established in these two princtpalities on the same footing As it existed in 18-21, before the explosian of the insurrection. Lord Strangford, in the height of his satisfaction announced, the arrival of a Russian Ambassador; and on the 3d of July despatehed a courier to London. There is no longer anv doubt of the submission of Colocetroni to the Greek Government.l He has delivered up the gates of Napoli di Poomania as a pledge of his sincerity, and his friend Odysseus has obtained a guarantee that his life sball be spared.

Mr. AlSK then read the annu'al report, which conveyed a very farourable account of the progress and extension of the objects of the Society1 and enumerated the meritorious individuals upon whom the prizea 'sadh,een conferred. The Dukeof SussEx, in distributing the rewards, paid several compliments to the individusls who received them. In presentin the silver Ish medal to Mr. Johnson, for a portrait, he remark upon the palpable value of this Socety, which developed merit in so forciblea nanner; theindividual whonowrecived thereward being deaf anddumb, and having had his talents cultvated by their patronage.

The Times, 1824-09-20T00:00:00

Mr. CAN'NING has sturdily refused to show off before that illustrious body the Corporation of D;ablin. This was at least prudent, if not unavoidable. AVell as the flight Hon. Secretary can play at sight in the game of peech-making, after dinner or beforc it, these Dublin worthies, with their toasts and inuendo2s, might have puzzled him ; or, possibly, misrepresentel his expressions. Admitting Mr. CANNING'S visit to Ireladl to be olne of mere friendship to Lord WELLESLEY, and of "relaxa. " tion" for himself, we hardly thin,k that such a visit can fail to draw after it certain consequeneas not wholly of a private nature. It is difficult to imagine that M11r. CAX- NING can leave Ireland with his mind in the condition of a tahbda rasa. Som'e impression must be stamped upon it by his contact with the country. At all even;ts,it is as well that he should remuain, during his brief sojourn, an auditor and observer of what passcs, as that he should ruii the risk or being distracted, or embarrassed, by taking a part upoII the scene.

WVe liave received the Argos, Buenos Ayres paper, from tile 26tll of.lune to thc 4th of July inclusive. The nmmg ber of the 30th of June contains the official (locunienlts published at Cuzeo by the Royalist General LA SERNA, dated on the 5th, 11 th, and 21st of March, relating to his resignation of the comman d of the Spanish army in Peru, and which have already appeared in the English papers. W1Te only mention tllem now, to show how very imperfect the means of comimunication are between -Buenos Ayres and Upper Peru, since an event of so miuch importance has been more than three months in finding its way thither. There is no accounting for the delay, but it is important to bear the fact in minm, as an argument has b-en founded on it to disprove somue material occirrenices in that quarter, favourable to the independent cause, and coinmltnicate(l by way of Panarna, but whlich the silence by wvay of Buenos Aytcs is considered to rendler dottbtful, if not entirely to overthrow. It is Taow clear that all such inferences are fallacious. A letter had been receive(d at Buenos Ayres from General MILLER, of the Colombian army, who was at Arica, stating it as an accredited rurnour in that part of Peru, that subsequently to the publication of tlhe official documents by LA SERNA, despatchIeS lhad been received from FERDINAND, declaring LA SERNA, an1d all the officers under lhis colmmand, as known Constitu- tionalists, to be traitors to the nation, and appointing OLAN ErA Viceroy over the wlhole of Peru. Aecutints had been received at Buenos Ayres from Chile, by whichl it is ascertained that the expedition of General FntEYRE against Chiloe had not proved so disastrous as at first reprcsented. His loss in the whole did not exceed 400 nmen, and( he had arrived safely with the remainder at Talcahuano, in the province of Conceptioni. Had hiis returni been delayed, it is probable theyhole vwould have perished, as a violent storm occurredl four days afterwards, in which it would have been impossible for his vessr ls to have lived. Trhe arrival of General FREYRE on the soil of Chile is said to have been fortuinate for liim in anotlher sense, as iPtrigues hiad been carrying on in the capital for his removal from power, which his prompt re-appearance WlhollY frustrated,

Yesterslay afternoon, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Cou!.cil was hel(I at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affiirs, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, th e Earls of Liverpool and Bathurst, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the Exchequier, Viscount Melville, Lord Bexley, Mr. Wyni, Mr. Hus- kisson, &c. The Cabinet did not break up till a quarter past five o'clock. Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated Deceinber 1, 1824.:" The expedition which this Government has so long announced as fitting out against Brazil, has termi- nated as I always prophesied and advised you it would. The Minister of N4arine has just issued orders for all the ships of war of which it was to have been composed to be dismantled, except two frigates, the Perola and Prineeza Real, two corvettes, the Lealdade and Ilfante Doa Miguel, and two brigs, wvhich are retained in commission as guarda costas, and to eruise in the Metliterranean ; but it is thought, the Treasury having been completely exhausted by the preparations for this expedition, that eyen those fewr shipr cannot long be kept in commnission." Last niglht Sir Anthony Carlisle, in concluding his ar- nual course of Lectures on Aniatomy at the Royal Academy, intitqated his determination to resign, as his Professorship in that establishment interfered too much with his other duties, and in particular with the calls of suffering hu- manity, to which he wislhed to devote the whole of his time and experience. Ee recommended the election of a younger Professor. We noticed some days ago, one of those publications which this season renders acceptable,as presents to the young of both sexes. We have since met with another, entitled ' Thte Literary Soituenir ;" and wvhether we loak to the finely-executed engravings, or the elegant copies of verses whichi adorn its pages, we cannot imagine a rmore classical and agreeable offiering of friendship or afflection. 'The con,- tributors are many of them persons of established reputa- tion, and some of the poems will do no discredit to their names. Ainotlher work of the same kind, under the name of Hommage a2ux Davzes, is by no means undeserving of pa- tronage ;, though, with the exception of one poem, called a Scene from a Manuseripl Drama, the poetry is very inferior to the prints; which, however, are very good.

I Before Mr. Barori H OLLOCK,OandOa co0rmmon Jitry. This was an action brought by the plaintift5 who is a surgeon and stmaster at Hartlepool, to recover damages for the injury done to Iis character by certain defamatory words, which the defendant, who is n clergyman at the same place, had falsely and maliciously spoken galnat him. The slanderous words alleged to have bee used by the defendant were, that "D Dr. Thompson was repeatedly drurn, and very seldom sober." A witness was caUled to prove that the defendant had made use of them; but inocross-examination he ad- mitted that the words which he had heard formed only part of two conversations, (one at a public.house, and another in the market- lace), of which he had not heard the whole, and whicl might havc ad reference to various ether matters for any thing that he knew to the contrary, On the part of the defendant, it was nrged that these wordst, if used at all, might, as the witness had only heard part of the cooversation in wlhich they were used, lhave had a very different signification from that which the plaintift, for reasons best known to himself, bad attributed to them. For instance, said Ar. Brougham, pointing to the plaintifF, who was in Court, the cde- fendant might have been talking of the falacy of pkysiognomy. lie m tght have said; 6 You mnust not judge of men by their coun. tenancea, for, look at Mr. Thompson, you would judge by his face that he was repeatedly drunk, and very &cidoui sober; but l man nssure you that such is not the case." It was likewlse maintaned, that even If the words were spoken, they were not actionable ia themselves, and had not been attended by any danmage to the plaintiff After the learned Judge had shortly addressed the Jury, they re- turned a verdict for the defendant.
