FROM TUE SnURNAL OP ST. PETIM81tUR0111) " OPERATIONS BEFORE VARNA TO THE fieg OR mil OF SEPTEMBER. " After having possessed themselves on the evening of the Ist of SepteMber, of the last lodgements which the enemy had till then possessed without the walls, and where he had 300 men killed, our troops at day. break on the following morning blew up the counter scarp in front of the north bastion, the nearest to the sea, in which every piece of cannon had been previously dis mounted. The wins of this explosion filled the ditch, thus opening a road to the breach already very consi derable io this bastion. Such progress in the operations of the siege, together with the occupation of the road to Bouigas by the detachment. of the Aide-de-Camp Ge neral Golovine, being sufficient to convince the gar rison of the impossibility of making a longer defence, or of receiving succours from without, his Majesty the Emperor thought it a favourable opportunity for sum moning the Turks to surrender the place, and on the morning of the 2d a flag of truce was sent in for that purpose. "According to the answer received in the first in stance, the Turks seemed disposed to surrender imme dieter), to avoid a further effttsion of blood, and an armistice was therefore agreed upon; but on the nest day the conferences were broken off, for Admiral Greig bavingkad an interview with the Capitan Nast, on board the Imperatrice Marie, was convinced by Us answers that the enemy were only endeavouring to gain as much time as they could. Our artillery recom menced and continue their fire on the place with in creased activity. The works of the siege are carried on with great ardour; batteries have been erected, and the south past of the city, which hitherto had Suffered very little, is already nearly destroyed by the battering cannon which have been brought to bear upon it, on one side in front of the Aide-de-Camp General Golo vine, and on the other to the tight of our intrenchments."

The preparations for the Meeting on Penenden Heath, next 'seek, have already been commenced by both the parties. The British Catholic Association have advertised and circulated their Address to the Protestants of England, adopted 4 the Meeting of that body in 1826. They have also sent emissaries, or agents, to distribute the same Address throughout the county, and divers small tracts have also been dint bored abundantly. On the other hand, the Earl of Winchelsea has con.' vaned a Meeting of the Committee of the Kentish Brunswick Constitutional Club on special business, un derstood to refer solely to the approaching Meeting. 'the Noble Earl will appear on Penenden Heath, accom. ponied by a very numerous body of his own tenantsy and freeholders, as will also Lords Le Despencer, Syd• • Besley, t and others of influence in the county. It is thought there will be a greater assemblage of the Nobility and Freeholders on this occasion on the Heath, than has been the cue for a considerable number of years at any County Meeting. Bands of individuals, • *her opposed or favourable to the objects which the requisitionists have in view . , are organising in every quarter of the county—communications ate daily taking place between the Rochester Anti-Brunswickers, or Pro-popery Advocates, and those residing in East Kent; and flag., blue and green, are preparing to pre cede the different bodies of Freeholders, so that Penenden Heath wilt exhibit all the bustle of a contested election. The obi ct of the Meeting, with regard to which there exists some misunderstanding, is, for the purpose ' of petitioning Parliament to adopt such measures as may be best calculated to support the Protestant Establish• anent of the United Kingdom in Church and State.* , PROTESTANT MEETING AT ARSIAGH. AMMAN MOM INK NIWILY TBLIMORAPII. Thursday, pursuant to advertisement to this and other Papers, a meeting took place in Armagh, for the purpose of establishing in that city, not a county—but a central—Brunswick Constitutional Club. About one o'clock, Lieutenant-General MOLTNEAUX took the chair, amidst general acclamations. ROGER HALL, of Narrow-water, Esq. then rose and proposed the first Resolution. He was followed by the Rev. Dr. MILLER, of Armagh. Dr. MlLLsa.—Sir, I rise to second the Resolution which has been just now proposed. In doing this, I think I c Inuit better fulfil the purpose of this assembly than by laying before it, to the best of my ability, the state sif that Important question by which this country SO the British Empire have been so long agitated. This question has, indeed, been agitated daring thirty lift years; but I think that I may confidently affirm, that only now, at the close of so long a period of dis cussion, are Protestants beginning to understand it in its true character and extent. But the question has, in the progress of discussion, assumed a graver and a darker character. • It was after some time discovered • that the Roman Catholics of Ireland demanded con 6 -1 dence, but would not justify ialsp a pny stipulation. It was perceived that the Roman Catholics of helm*, looked not to a liberal participation of The blesbings of ' a common Constitution, but to the acquisition of power, and to the predominance of their church. It is new . avowed by the demagogues who lead, while the priests direct the-patty, that their object iv to have Iceland to themselves by a dissolution of the Union, to overthrow the Protestant Church of this part of the empire, and to rear ainmig us an unmixed and uncontrouled domi. nion of a ltomish priesthood—t Hear, hear). Every man feel, that a Isis's has now alibied in which a final tetmination of this great question must be made. The Government most not continue to be agitated by a desperate faction. It must shortly be decided whether the claims of that faction shall be conceded, with what ever enoitfications, or whether the vigour of the Go vernment shall be exerted to silence the clamour of its demagogues, and to maintain the existing institu tions in undimini.hed authoii y? Every Protestant, indeed. also feels that the chief direction of the Govern ment is in the hands of a man in whom he is disposed to place the most absolute confidence. .Of that illus- trious individual I shall here pronounce no panegyric. To prai,e the Duke of Wellington would now be as idle as, in the language of our great dramatic poet, " To gild refined sold, to paint the lily, " To throw a perfume on the violet." It was said of a great ancient, as a very high panegyric, that he overcame envy by merit. This was a noble eulogy, for indisputable must be that merit against which envy can find nothing to object. But it has been reserved for the Duke rf Wellington to do even more than this, for he has Alenced not only envy but pane gyeic—(Cheers). Bait great as is our confidence in the Prime Miniates—a confidence confirmed by the perse vering hostility if the same party to which Me ate our selves opposed, we must not fin get that in a free Go vernment, the ablest and must honest Minister can act only as he feels that he is supp. ited by the sentiments of the public. The Roman C.tholics have taken good care that he should know their violence. Let the Pro testants also acquaint him with their firmness—(Great cheers). Let us entreat him to consider, that his fame is entwined with the Constitution of his country. He did not fight to repel an invading enemy. for Nelson had blasted that preiumi tuous hope. He fought to main tain the liberty of his country by vindicating the gene. ral independence of Europe. How. it might be asked, might that liberty have been assailed if his country could not he invaded with success? I answer, by do mestic tieason, acting in subservience to the views lila daring and successful usurper—(Hear)—Mho knew that he could not be safe while the Binish empire should dis play to the world the animating ex imple of freedom. Let the Prime Minister be now told. that in opposing the claims f the Roman Catholics he is still contending in the same causes; that the glory whet] he has acquired in the war is necessarily committed in the struggle in which that Constitution is now endangered; and that in maintaining the Constitution he is uphold ing the trophy by which alone his fame can be trans mitted to succe•eing ages—(Hear, hear). I have said that Use question is only now beginning to be distinctly understood. No man cast be surprised at this asser tion, who reflects that it has, in the course of the long discussion, been presented to Protestants under not fewer than eight different forms. The Roman Catholics would now repel with scorn the pretence, that any change had been effected in them by the general pro gress of improvement. Their Church, they contend, is unchanged and unchangeable—.incapableof embracing error, and consequently incapable of abandoning any principles by which it had ever been actuated. This immutability may. in words, be confined to matters of faith ; but since every temporal occurrence may be, in some manner or other, connected with the maintenance of the faith, its controuling influence is extended to all the political conduct of the Romanies. The plea of abstract right may at once be dismissed. as a remnant of that jacobioical doctrine of the rights of man, which towards the close of the last century infested the world —it bas, In fact, been selinquished by the Roman Catholics themselves, who consider physical force al surer ground for their pretensions. Of the Treaty of Limerick, and the alleged engagements of the Union, it is' not now necessary to say a single word—for these transactions have been solemnly investigated, and the pleas which relate to them have been scouted as delu sive. The practice of other Governments has been justly rejected by the Duke of Wellington as an autho. rity—for the King of Great Britain, as he wisely and spiritedly remarked, could never, as they have done, negotiate with a hope for a coocordat, since this would be to seek the aid of the Pope for the government of his own subjects. When the Roman Catholics deny that they are in any respect changed, and openly rely upon intimidation for success. the notion of liberality, in conceding their demand, should of course be aban doned. Old as I am, I am not disposed to bow down, like the rude savages rf the Sandwich islands, in fear ful veneration of the volcano which is sending forth its streams of burning lava, to wither the prosperity and to desolate the hope of my country—(Hear, hear, hear). What, then, is the true alternative in this momentous deliberation? By a prompt and vigorous resistance we may. even now, arrest the progress of disturbance—for whatever may be the violence of the priest-excited mubi titude, neither the lawyer, who traffics in sedition, that he may fill his bag with briefs—nor the priest, who seeks to terrify a wavering Legislature, that be may gain advantages for his Church, can at this moment speculate on open hostility. They may, indeed, in their machinations, relax all the bonds which hold society together.—they may, perhaps. transform into banditti the warm hearted, but disorderly peasantry of Ireland; but their policy is to threaten rebellion, without ever proceeding to an extremity which they know would be fatal to tbemselves—(Loud cries of Hear, hear) The arch-demagogue has even assured the ignorant peasai try, that he would never desist until they should all be independent of the advice and aid of lawyers, which, as an educated man and a lawyer, he knows to be impossible. If any person should ask me, is there not cause for fear ? I would reply, I see much cause for fear, but none for submission—(Cheers). The prudent fear—the cowardly submit. Let the Constitution put forth its energies —let the demagogues be firmly told that their pretensions never can be conceded, and the popular excitement, now maintained by the hope of a speedy triumph, will languish; the demagogues shall shrink back into their individual impotence, and even the clergy shall discover that the season has gone by in which the pretensions of their church could be as serted with any probability r f success. Nay, mote; I will venture to predict, that even from that dark clout which now lowers over the Constitutirio, the light of hope and safety shall burst upon us. In Cavan. wh re first the 'famish Priests interfered in the struggle of an election, a re-tenon took place, which surprised us by a considerable secession from the Church of Rome— (Hear, hear). And I do nut speak without some spe cial information when I say, that in Ennis, where that 1 outrage on the Constitution was recently brought to its I consummation, symptoms of a similar movement of the people are already manifested. (The eloquent Divine I then went into a lucid strain of reasoning, to prove the utter impracticability of connecting the Popish Church with the Protestant States and illustrated his positions by appropriate references to the history of modern Eutope.) Is the warning voice of history to be des- regarded, as if tinder the malediction of some irri tate& divinity ?—(Hear, hear.) If Ire pits it the imas ginatiOn to penetrate the gloom of such a luturits, possibly no distant futurity, as the description of toe historian would place before it, we may picture to our. selves some anxious traveller visiting the Chambers of our Legislature to witness the scenes in which a Ire.. Constitution had imparted so much energy to a country, then sunk into the-debility and worthlessness of Spain, under the influence of a mind-oppressing hierakchy. Here he would, perhaps, be told, an honest and firm Minister would lain have saved the country, but a spirit of delusion had deprived him of the efficient support if its representatives, and forced him to capitulate with a faction, which observed no conditions. In the other Chamber the last stand was made for the Constitution by the time-honoured Eldon, who, ender that Consti tution. had long administered equitable ju-tice, with no other complaint than that he had rendered it more per. test than the urgent occasions of society admitted— and that in discharging his multiplied duties he had not performed more than human ability was capable of ac complishing. Here, also, a Prime Minister, sincerely', attached in peace to the Constitution be had preserved', . en war, found himself Compelled to commit that Con. stitution to hazard, by trusting to apparent securities for its safety. All has since perished. The Crown has been forced to follow the course of the Dembcracy.l The Confess sr of the King is now the true Prime itirtet. The Chambers of the Legislature stilt hold their mock debates to deceive the isnot ant multitude—, but an AFOst , .liC Junta decides all public ineasurts- 1 and the influence of an usurping priesthood paralyzes every mind—(Hear). Diktat is now what Spain had been before, when Burke, the prime at.triur of all this ruin, characterized her as a whale stranded on the sea coast of England, inert and helpless—(Cheer.) Tea thousand ships of war have rotted in het ports-matter innumerable vessels of commerce ne longer cover the seas—her seamen have sought other coantries for em ployment—her looms and her forges are all idle—the spring of mind is broken; and power, industry and in. tellieence, have perished with it—(Heai, hear). The Constitution, as I have mentioned, is essentially Pro testant. lf, indeed, the Prot stant people of (heat Bri tain have, under any delusion, become insensible to the blessings of their free religion, and ate willing to yield up the banners i f that free Constitution of Government which they have inherited with it teem their lathers, there is then indeed no remedy ; and we must yield cis , the overpowering influence of modern libera.sty. It you are still indeed Protestants, and value your Govern. neent as a Pr testant Co sun ion, publish your prowl. pes to the world ; support the firmness of your Soya reign ; enable the leading Ministers of the Crown t:. put down the audacious faction which is even now con vulsing the State-,(Cheers). The religion and liberty of Leland cannot perish, and leave yours to subsist in safety. If this island were subject to the Chutch of Rothe, its whole power would be immediately and strenuously ex,rted to complete the conquest, by redu cing Great Britain under the same domination. Now, therefore, is the question of the Constitution brought to trial, and by your present conduct it must be deter mined, whether after the present year you shall have a Constitution ? (The Rev. Doctor sat down amidst the deafening plaudits of the meeting.) ACHESON ST. GIIOROI4 of Woodpark, Esq. proposed the second resolution, en a short but impressive and energetic speech. The Rev. Dr. Kowloon, of Armagh—Mr. Chair man, I second the Resolution with a satisfaction, which is, however, qualified by regret, that the measure which we are this day assembled to take should have been deferred so long by the Protestants of Leland. Year after year have they beheld the unremitting exertions of their enemies, the treachery of some co their de fenders, and the faint-heartedness of cthers, with an in difference amounting almost to folly; they have made no use of the immense poster which they possess, either to chastise their adversaries or support their friends.— That this ill advised line of conduct has worse than failed needs no proof ; its results may be traced in the ferocious debates of ilee ruffians ram govern the Popish population of Leland • in the confidence with which their advocates in Parliament now make assertions, that, but a few years since, would have called down on their authors the unmixed displeasure of every friend of the Constitution—(cheers)—and in the timid and divided policy of the various Ministers of the last few years, who all seem to have bad no higher object than getting smoothly through the Session, and to have thought that the management of the House of Com mons was the oirly object in the empire worth attending to. At this moment a large proportion of Ireland is in a stale little short of rebellion ; having allegiance, sa l to its Sovereign, but to a gang of needy lawyers and intriguing priests, in comparison of whom the aid Rump Parliament was a respectable assembly—Nowt cheering). Its population (as the Association do met fear to publish) are armed and organized, and only wait their orders for any outrage. A system of persecution is arranged against all, r f whatever persuasion, who». fuse to submit to their guidance; fire, murder, robbery, are busy at their command ; and, with all thiss they have the matchless impudence to call themselves the pacifiers of Ireland-I.(Cheers). Mr. Chairman, the system of which we ate about to become members, is rapidly spreading through the kingdom; before Parliament meets its arrangements will be perfect; and it will, as its first results, enable us to address that body with the same facility as our adversa ries; it will give us a voice which they cannot but hear, when it proclaims the power, the wealth, the intellectual energy, the numerical force of the Irish Protestants; and which, though they may ne glect it, will, I hope, interest in our behalf the more powerful sympathy of the people of England. The people of England know little either of our value or our danger—(hear, hear). At present the greater part of them know not how largely we contribute to the pros perity of the Empire, how mainly we secure its union, r they would never leave us to the mercy of the poll., tical bunglers who now represent them. With them' neither Ministers, ner even Parliament dare trifle; and when we appeal to them for aid—when we entreat them. by our one religion, by our kindred blood, by our com mon cause, will they not interfere in our behalf? And when they express their feelings, who shall withstand them ?—(Loud and continued cheering.) But the time admits of no delay; our movements must be proem*, rapid, and universal; for our enemies will unquestillele ably redouble their exertions to preserve, if possible, the vantage ground they are losing. Already we are de scribed as incendiaries and blood-hounds; we are said to be cheering on the Protestants to a massacre of the Catholics; these people seem to think so Much 'aheet plans of murder, that it is ever ready on their lips. I do not know how any thing that we could tempt them to do would have that effect, for they have already gone to the utmost limit of daringa—oothing but a re acting of 1641 can surpass it. Wi t hi n the last few days a thing has been got np, with two or three hundred signatures. which calls itself a Protestsat like others frosts the same mint, its pettifo g ; and its couclufilon preposterous--(H ear .

It is not difficult to perceive from what source a project like this must and it is evident that it can be from no other than the Power which, of all others, has, throughout the - ' of the struggle of Greece, taken the greatest interest is her throwing off the Turkish yoke. and lent her the most effectual aid for that purpose. It is nctorious that the influence of Russian agents has tended mates Ay to promote the insurrection of the Greek., and that emissaries of the most powerful of the Continental Despots have been going about the Mores exciting the people to rise in the name of Liberty. The appal,* desire of-the Emperor of RUSIIA to promote flee into tutions has thus not only weakened in the Mores the Turkish Power, which it has ever been bis 6rst wish a subdue. but it has acquired for him a popularity in the northern provinces, some of which, as Salvia ass Bosnia,bave already volunteered to submit to bis yoke We give the Emramoit full credit for his instrunientatio in bringing about that happy event—the terminational the thraldom of Greece ; but we much doubt whethe his IMPERIAL MAJUTT would relish the sight of I Federative Republic in the Mores, whose independence should be goat anteed and watched over by the oche European Governments, and paeticularly by Greet Britain and France. Count CAPO DISTIUA, the presto nominal head of the Greek States, is a creature el Russia ; and how could it be expected that a Swat& Prince, owing his appointment to the same source, would regard the imperial will as any other than a law?-- The object of Russia, we repeat, is to sever Greece trot Turkey; but not to permit her existence as a really frtc Republic. Good frequently comes out of evil; and,* dislike throwing imputations on motives when the reek is a mattes of congratulation; but we cannot ow/ilea the visible and ill-concealed march of Russia towards the still further aggraadisamat of her already ova• grown danieions. The cements of the Flea& and German Papers w ceived yesterday are of considerable importance, jaw much as they confirm in every essential particular the iatelligeace previously received of the replan of the Russians before Schwab, and the disasten of its 'KOS towards the Danube. They also show that the Turks were fully aware of the importance of following np the advantages they bad gained; for it is stated that the GRAND VIZIER was matching for Adrianople, for the relief of Varna, and that Museum Bay was pursuing the troops which had retreated from Schemla.-- A detached corps bad also been sent on the road to Silistria and Hirchora, is order to take advantage of ,ihe late events betide the fuu ef those places.
