very evening. She is destined to form part of the station established before the shores of Algiers, and bears dis patches to the Commander of the blockade. It is pro bable that she ones there to supply the place of the Proserpine, which belonged to that station. 4 , It is said here, that a Tteaty has been concluded between his Maj •sty the King of the Low Countries and the King of Sweden, having for its object the protection of the commerce of these two nations. This statement has come via Smyrna, and bears an official character." FROM THR COURRIZR FRANCAIS, OCT. 12. PARIS, OcT.H. There are few countries so capable of defence as the present theatre of war, comprised between the Danube and the Black Sea; it is full of defensible positions, which, at a small expense, might be rendered impreg nable. The chain of the Balkan, which runs from the east to the west, reaches as far as the Sea, and the Da nube and Bosphorus are alike within its influence. Varna is a large town, situated on the shore of the Sea, at the mouth of a large river, which forms a lake, the neighbourhood of which is extremely marshy. In the war of 1703 it resisted the efforts of the Russians, although its only fortifications consisted of a hexagonal tower, with a bare trench, without flanks on the side nearest the champaign; on the side of the Sea, and of the river, gardens, houses, palisades, and such things, composed its only fortifications. Since that time, how ever, a strong rampart has been added, together with a wide and deep ditch ; and batteries have been erected on all the surrounding heights. The neighbourhood .of Varna is for the most part uncultivated, and the roads are scarcely more than tracks through the branches of the Balkan. The port of the City is at present protected by bat teries erected on the top of Galata, which is south of its entry. The northern and southern shores are not so elevated; but, nevertheless, debarkation in that direction is almost impracticable. Bourga•, situated in the Gulf of that name, contains, in about 4- leagues of length by 5 of breadth, several harbours accessible to the largest vessels of war; but these harbours are protected by the escarpments, situ ated on the mountains, which extend quite to the shores. These heights are covered with wood, and consequently easy to intrench and difficult to scale. Bourgas has a carriage road communicating with Adrianople. It is from this city Constantinople procures considerable supplies of grain and provisions; and there is no point along the whole coast of Romelia, as far as the Bospho tits, so important to the Turks: All those positions were not long since fortified ac cording to ancient instructions given by the Genet als Montalembert and Aubert-Dubayet, and according to the plans furnished by the engineers who were sent thither by the French Republic in 1795. To say that the Turks are unwilling to learn is an error, and contradicted by the care with which they have preserved, in the archives of the Divan, the me morials and documents furnished by Tott, Campbell, Aubert-Dubayet,.and Sebastiani. In the places on the banks of the Danube, things have also changed their aspect. Generals Montalem bert and Aubert-Dubayet had supplied Sultan Selina with a plan of defence which that unfortunate Prince bad not time to realize, but which has been turned to advantage under the reign of Mahmoud ; this was to construct forts, cazemated round the places, and at the distance of from 4to .500 tomes from each other. The same Officers recommended that these forts should be provided with cannon mounted on pivots. All these instructions have been taken advantage of ; and the de tails which we have given will serve to explain, in some degree, the unexpected superiority which the Turks have evinced. It has been announced that the Pope has refused the teclamations made by the Swiss Consul with respect to the facility with which Helvetic subjects are allowed at Rome to contract marriages interdicted by the laws of their own country. The following is a curious extract from the reply of his Holiness—" A congregation has carefully examined this important :object, and has re ported that poverty is not to be considered as forming any obstacle to marriage ; that since the celibacy 01 priests, although voluntarily undertaken, has caused so much discussion, it cannot at all take upon itself to prescribe celibacy to the laity. Neither pauperism nor ignorance has ever been in the eyes of the Church ob stacles to marriage. If strangers act illegally, it is faithin the temporal power to punish such acts; but his Holiness has no power to limit the right which GOD gives to every man to enter into the married state. if undeniabli inconveniences result from the union of the poor, the forced celibacy of the laity is productive of still greater mischief. These representations having been made to his Holiness, he has not thought it right to depart from the ancient usage cr the Roman Chinch, which has been to authorize the marriage of peisons of every country at Rome."

" This maim" up Comm; " exhibits at this' time every ma►k of a sinking state; every spark which the empire of Bose exhibited, ibe4 it wee approubiog to its fell., The fall of a country is generally imperceptible—it comes down by degrees, like a new made sick of hay; you do not perceive in the evening that the rick is lower than it was at noon; but at the end of seven or eight days the inexperienced observer is surprised that so short a ladder will suffice for the thatcher, when it required so long a ladder for him to descend on who had finished the rick." Now really, however Lughable this com• parison of Great Britain to a falling rick of hay may be, it must be a very inexperienced observer indeed, who does not know that there is not a particle of truth in the whole statement, and that the very reverse is the fact. Where do we find any evidence of our sinking condition? Is it in the decline of our manufactures? In 1814 the exports of British produce and manu factures, according to the official •alue, were £33,200,580 ; in 1826, they had increased to £40,965,030. Is it in the decay of our commerce, and the inactivity of our shipping ? In 1814, the tonnage of British vessels entering inwards was 1,846 670 tons, and of foreign 566,516 tons ; of British vessels outwards, 1,87.5,855 tons, and foreigners out wards, 571,413 tons. The gradual increase has been such, that in 1826, 2,478,047 tons of British, and 643,922 of foreign shipping, entered inwards; and 2,676,263 tons of British, and 641,106 of foreign ship ping entered outwards from our ports. It is u s eless to multiply instances to prove what is notorious to all but those who wilfully shut their eyes to the truth ; but the prosperous state of the Revenue, the activity of our internal industry of every kind, and the unabated energy of the English character, are such as to leave no doubt to a very partial observer, of our national poser being as foimidable and gigantic as ever. Whether cir cumstances require the exercise of that strength, or the assumption of a menacing attitude, is quite another question? but those who rouse the giant from his sleep must run the risk cf the first blow, whatever its weight may really be. ' The Paris Journals of Sunday contain no additional intelligence from the seat of war in the Ea.t. An account is given in a letter from Cadiz of the evacuation of that city by the French, together with addres,es arid orders of the day upon the occasion. The Gazelle de France states that the Greeks have received Rus.ian letters of marque, and it is expected that the conse quence will be the commission of .acts of piracy. Austria, it is stated, has three hundred vessels at least employed in the commerce with Turkey. During the insurrectionary war, she treated the Greek blockade very cavalierly ; but now that Russia has lent her Dam to the Greeks, the case is materially altered. Hamburgh Papers t' the II th inst. received last night, inform us on the authority of advices from Vienna, that the campaign of the Russians is com pletely at an end, and chat the Emperor NICHOLAS is immediately to return to St. Petersburgh. Intelligence from Odessa to the 22d ult. states that the Capitals PACHA, after the destruction of most of the houses and pat of the fortifications of Varna, wished to be permitted to leave the fortress, but Count WotioNzow refused to accede to his proposition.— In contradiction to previous accounts, we now find that the Turkish army in Schumla, as well as the w bole of the Turkish forces in the Balkan, are both amply end punctually provided with provisions. The GRAND VIZIER, it appears, is accompanied in his march by one of the Plenipotentiaries who signed the Treaty of Akermann, and by a former Dragoman of the Porte, from which it is conjectured that an attempt will be made to negotiate a peace. This would appear to be not an inapt period for trying the effect of pacific pro- posals, as the Turks have shown bow bravely they can re , sistyand may thus accept of reasonableterms without ap parent submission ; while the Russians have succeeded to a certain extent by breaking through two lines of the Turkish defence (that of the Principalities and rf the Danube), and taken Varna, may enter into pacific arrangements, without an imputation of defeat in their attempted invasion. The German Papers received this morning eon• tain no later advice' relative to the expected surrender of Varna than what we had p►eviously been in posses. sion of. The Empress of RUSSIA is stated to have left OJessa on her return to St. Petersburgh. VIENNA, Oct. S. The Austrian c Observer contains no more recent accounts from Turkey than those already received, but only the ofScial boUeth3s of the 13th from the Camp before Scitumb, and of the 17th from that before Varna. CASSEL, SAT. 29. The day before yesterday the Envoys of t►e central German States, who have been constantly engaged ever since the loth of August in drawing up an arrangement, founded on the Declaration drawn up at Frankfort last year, signed the Correadon, which la to remain in force six years. This Convention snores to the sub jects of those States a free intercourse and trade In their produc tions, and all the advantages arising &gas the matual engagements not to augment the transit duties, to make some new roads, to keep the old ones in good condition, and other useful arrangements. The Envoys will remain at Cassel till the eschanp of the ratifications, in which city they will soon have a second meeting.

The trophies taken by General Paskewitsch io the fortress of Altalath bad been brought to Odessa. and deposited in the Cathedral with the usual ceremonies. It was aimed at Odessa that the garrison of Varna was inclined to capitulate, on being al lowed fres egrets, but that his Majesty the Emperer had rejected every condition, and that orders were given to storm the place..- 41gesteute Zealots, Oct.

Sca , cely a night ha; passed since the commencement if the compaign, is which one or both the houses have rot pr.; duced some. thing new. Tnis activity on the part of the MO nagers, shows a disposition to merit public suppert, and hitherto they have succeeded in obtaining it t ► an extent far beyond what is usu.l at this early perioi of t e season. Pursuing this plan, each house last night brought forward a lair elebutaule in the eperatic department, and the palm of victory appears to has e been warmly contested.

Of her pretensions as an actress we had no opportun ty of judging on this occasion, as her extreme agitation tea dered her almost wholly inaudible throughout the dia logue of the piece; but in several of her songs she dis played very considerable power arid sweetness of voice; of her science and execution it would be prentatute, ea this occasion, to pronounce an opinion ; she was deser vedly encored in a very difficult song in the second act, and her reception throughout was decidediy favourable. Her announcement for a repetition of the chat acter ea Friday received the sanction of the unanimous awn tuition of the aud erice. • Mr. BIANCHI TAYLOR took the part of Cart , siir Lindasy.
