In our foreigi RCews, under the head " Aleppo," will be found a Firman published by the Sultan of PeasxA, pro. hibiting the introduction of the Bible into his dominions. As we read the mandate, we thought that the Impeirial author of it was no worse an enemv to Christianity than the Pope of ROMX, his Holiness having in like manner forbidden the knowledge of the word of GOD to the sub- jeets of his spiritual dominion in Ireland; and there is no doubt that the Bible is equally fatal to Popery anld Maho- metanism. No one could learn one word of either of them from the sacred book in whioh Christians believe. On looking farther, however, into the foreign news, wve learned that his Holiness stands suspected of being the author of the happy project for pronzoting Christianity in Persia also as well as in Ireland, bv smothering the authenitic records- "Catholics as well as Christians believing the Firmian to have been issued at the instabe of the Roman Catholic Clergy." ,

" The fleet has at length sailed with 4,000 Janissaries, and was accompanied for a considerable distance by the Saltan, who caused a present of 100 purses, and many valuable articles, to be delivered to the Capitan Pacha. Since the sailing of the fleet many Janis- sarieseffer their services to the Porte, great hopes being entertained of making rich booty in the approaching campaign against the Greeks. From the Mlorea. we hear notbing but disputes The Se- nate has summoned Colocotroni to surrender himself, and to de- liver up the fortresses of Napoli di Romania and Trlpoliiza, but he has positively refused. The troops that were besieging Patras have withdrawn, because they had quarrelled about the division of some booty they had made, on which the Turks sailed from Lepanto with 14 ships to illissolonghi, and blockaedpel that place.

His MUajesty possesses seven islands, supposed to be nearly equal, in pointof ex. tent, to our Alest India Islands, and wlhich have been of considerable advantage to a p~tticIlar dassof our shipping, on those long-and tedious vovazes for sperm wlales.

Jt is announted that Mr. CANN1NG'S Visit to Ircland was to have been tcrminated sooner tlhani lhe had at hirst pro. posed ; the Right Ifon. oiGentleman having fixed to sail for England last Sunday, aftcr a stay of onily three clear days i; Dublin, not including those of hiis arrival, and of his deI- parture thencc. Trhe approacbhig deatlh of Louis XVIII. was Alleged as the cause of this alteration in the movements of Mr. C(ANNIN(;. But suchl an evenit, it is natural to suppose, had bcen foresecn and prepared for previously to the Right Hoin. Gentleman'sjouriley from lhome. The only apparent ground, therdfore, on which hiis consistencv can be defended is, that public objects-tlose at least in whlich Ireland( might be immicliately conerned--had little or nothing to to with Ailr. CANNING'S travels; an;d that the jealousy here, and the sangiine confidenec of tlhe Irisli in the intentof them, were equally withou t foundation. For if tilc Foreign Secretary mcant an!y thing by this excursion beyond the indulgence of idle curiosity in viewing the Hill of Howth, tlle Wicklow AMountains, and tile College- green Statue,' or the gratification of vanity as idle, in raising a multitu(de of surmises with regard to his motives, plans, anid so tortlh, we- caninot well guess how any purpose, so grave as every purpose hnust be which is at all connected with the interests and affairs of Ireland, could have been promoted by a sojourn of three short days in the country, or could have been overturned by any intelligence or occurrence which those three days had. produced. If the latter were the case, we are bound to believe that the latter half of last week was a period among the most eventful of Mr. CAN- NING'S life; sikcc hc must have experienced something in th course of it, whichi rendercet the continuance of his visit either needless in relation to Ircland, or insupport- ablc to himself. lVas he, thnc, miraculously enlightened, or preternaturally terrified? Did he find that he had learned too many alarming truths from Lord WELLES- LEY, or that 5he had raised (for it is common enough in Ireland) expectations wvliin his compromisinig spirit would not permit hin to satisfy-or enemies whomi the same spi- rit woul(l lead him, as it had done alPeady, rather to crouch to than oppose ? It is of high benefit to an honest states- rnan to let the world see dlearly what he is doing-what he drives at; for his ends being fair and manifest, he is sure, to the extent to which they are so, of obtaining auxi- liaries among the better portion of mankind. Where, on thc other hand, people are induce(d to suspect their neigh- bour of a concealed purpose, they always ad(ld the further suspicion, that it is not a man's best thoughts whichl he studies to conceal fronmthe world.

A ir. J. Russell, who omne years back was engaged as an actor of low comedy at this theatre. re-appeared last night as RliShc i; the play of The Merchant of Flcafce. n hat principle this change of views has suggested it- s rmind, we cannot guess; but eertainly it by no meaBOnolowSs, becue a man plays P.epzg Torn ill, that he xshould be eminent in Jllfchard. The character of Shydlok, if let alone, wil almost always play it- self. John Bannister used to go through it very smoothly; and every body knows what sort o a tea- gediai he was. In fact, the Jew's case, in despite of all the malice that deforms it, is so strong, and it is argued for him in such plin strahtforward terms, that a.,a mere pleading, delivered with reasnable emphasis and dicre- tion, it could not fail to produce very considerable effect. A quality like this about a first part cannot fail, under any circumstancesj to be very valuable to an actor; and it wan perhaps little else than the assistance derived from it which, enabled Mr. Russell to get a hearing through lasit night, for 1he .realy has not a single requisite for the kind of performance which he has attempted. In the first plce, his voice is very harsh and bad, and his enunciation quite detestable. His utterance is as | hard and stccao as the notes of a wooden harmonicon out ot'tune; aud he hasan catch in his delivery of some extra. I ordinary kind, as thiough he made al effort to recover every Iwor back as fast as he pronounced it. And again, althougg I the beard and gabrerdie may paliate, up te a certain point, want of exeailence in an actor's figure and deportment, yet sti}l Slylock should have that degree of gracefulness an style about him wvhich attaches to the possesSion of mnind. and couragein every iht3ation. Mr. Russll's chief defect, asfar as we can remembar, in bis comedy acting, was I a certain faculty of coarseness, which he could not get rid of, and which is generally an insurmountable obstatle to successt in a fi:st-rate-4 theatre. He used to sing well, and what he did was frequentlv clever; but it was always unlplcasing: (there is a lady wvhom we groan under at the Rfamarket ThReatre very constantly, who possesses the same quany n a vcry ruagi Oegre.)U u ibIzolm- regards tie,higher-quaties necessary to the performaance of tragedy, Mr. Russell has no command at all of them. l*is conception seems to be generally common-plaee, and his passion is perfectly weak and ineffeetive. MIL Sloman, the new actress, Paad PortMz respectably. Mr. Yates, ill Gratiano, wanted joyousness of spirit. Mr. -eadows did Lancelot Ghho very soso; Keeley would, in. all probability, have been a great deal better in the part. The remainder of the performers were. in general sufficiently good for the chEracters allotted to them; bat, as regards Mr. Russell's Shylock, the play is not likely, we apprehend, to be re. peated.
