the roar. Immediately afterwards the Portuguese flag was hoisted (in honour of the Queen of Portugal, we suppose), and another general Royal salute saps fired. The sight was beautiful. We have obtained the following particulars respecting the Royal visit. Six young Midshipmen, Howard and Sinclair, sons of Peers; Graldie and Galway, sons of Generals; Otway and Gore, sons of Admirals, were stationed on the accommodation ladder as sidemen. On the quarter deck. after the first salutes, the Cap tains of the Squadron, and the officers of the ship, were introduced in form to the Emperor and the Queen. Their Majesties seemed greatly to admire the fine corps of mariners drawn up on the deck, and they minutely inspected the noble ship, visiting all the decks. the store rooms, and honouring even some of the of private cabins with their presence; frequently eapressing their admiration at the order and arrangement of every thing they saw. The Emperor was extremely inquisitive, occasionally re marking "Je hien prvisterai, s for he conversed in French with the Admiral who conducted him. After seeing the great gun and broad sword exercise and va rious manoeuvres of battles by boarders, firemen, &c. their Majesties retired to the great cabin, and partook sf refreshments, the Emperor and Queen alone seated, and attended by the Admiral and the First Captain. Two of the Admiral's sons, handsome boys, of 12 and 13, at tended as pages to the young Queen, and excited con- 1 siderable interest. During the repast, the Emperor gave' the health of King George the Fourth, which was an nounced by a Royal salute, in which all the British ships joined. The Admiral afterwards gave in succession the health, of the Emperor and the Queen, each toast being greeted with the roar of sixty -three guns. The repast finished, the Emperor and the Queen revisited the lower deck, to see the people at dinner. His Im perial Majesty ter& a spoon from one of the marine mess-tables, and tasted some of their soup, which he pronounced to be Bien Bon, but be only smelt to the grog, for he is not a drinker, it seems. Alter about three hours spent on board, the Royal Party returned under similar salutes, with three animated cheers from the sailors on the yards, at the commencement and ter mination of each salute. The Emperor appeared much gratified by his visit, far he brought the Admiral athote in the Imperial barge, instead - of allowing him to attend in his own, which followed with the Captains. Nume rous pleasure-boats accompanied the Emperor to and from the ship. THE EVENINC; STAR. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1828. PRICE OF STOCKS AT TWO O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 2154 India Ronde 3 per Cent.

These ad. vices are very important. chiefly from their setting at rest the rumours which have for several days prevailed of a dreadibi general battle, of upwards of it week's duration, having been fought before Schmitt. No such engagement has taken place, although daily skirmishes had occurred in the neigh bourhood. On the 28th July orders were given for establishing a battery on the right wing of the Rus sisal. The fire of this battery drove the Turks from the redoubt they were erecting into the town ; but five thousand men sallied forth immediately to attack the battery. They threw themselves on the 15tb and 16th Regiments of Chasseurs, occupying an elevation. The Turks were ultimately repulsed; but the affair seems to have been a hot one, for the loss of the Tusks is given at four huodred killed and five hundred wounded, and that of the Russians at .one hundred killed aad wounded ; and the operations of the day were only terminated by the approach of night. Oa shed night of the twenty-ntuth, a redoubt was raised by the Russians on the height occupied by them as the preceding day. The Turks attacked this bat-1 tery, but were driven back. 'they next attempted to gain possession of the Russian battery of their left wing, but were repulsed in every attack. A detach. l meet haying bee° ordered to move forward to Eskii Stamboul, to intercept the communications between, Scherala and Constantinople, the Turks were driven from some heights which they defended, with the loss of about 100 men. The result of this last movement demonstrated the possibility of investing the fortress of Schnnsla on that side also, and the fortifications neces sary for cutting off the Tildes from all communication' with Constantinople were immediately commenced. &bawls is now laid siege to in form, and it is antici cipated that the siege will not last beyond a few weeks. l The Emperor Nreffouss, in the mean time, has felt himself at liberty to leave the Grand Head Quar ters, in cedes' to inspect the operations against Varna from whence he proceeded to visit his family at Odessa, where he arrived on the Bth of August.— From the obstacles experienced by the Russians st Schunsla, his IsteaatAt.

A report, which bears extreme improbability on the face of it, prevailed at Odessa, that soon alter the arrival of the Emperor a Turkish nemiator had arrived, with proposals from the Commander-in-Chief of the Turkish army in Schumla. to conclude an Armistice for three weeks, to allow of a courier being sent to the Sultan, to acquaint the Sultan with the urgent difficulties in vie situation'of the Turks. The Emperor NICHOLAS is said to have agreed to the request. From Vienna it is stated that the British Ambassador, Lord HEYTESSURY, not finding the Emperor NICHOLAS at the Russian Head-quarters, proceeded to Odessa, whither other diplomatists were also expected to repair. This fact seems to confirm the report that something like a Congress is intended to be held there, and that the E►waaoa's retreat is diplomatic rather than military. • The German Papers received this morning come down to the 27th ut. According to the Algemeine Zeilung, very unfavourable repots relative to the Rus sian Army were prevalent on the Exchange at Vienna, originated, it is said, by the speculators in the Funds.— According to these the Russians were in retreat before Schumla, and the arrival of the Emperor NICHOLAS at Odessa is attributed to this rheum. stance. An Austrian Courier, it is stated, has been dispatched to Constantinople for the purpose of again advising the PORTS to yield to the demands of Russia, and to persuade it to send Plenipotentiaries to the Rus sian head quarters. It is stated from Corfu. that the tortre.ses of Arta and Pievesa, in the Murea, had been seized upon by an Albanian Chief, who had threatened to sell them to the Greeks, if Ibrahim Paella did not satisfy his demands, by the advance of a million Turkish piastres. These papers contain further details of the operations of the Russians prior to the 27th of July. The following are extracts : BERLIN, Amin 14. Major Von Schorokont has received his Majesty% permission to estate in the service of Greece, still retaining Ms rank in the Prus sian army. Several of our fortresses are being repaired and provi sioned. His Majesty has made a great lddition to the treasures of oar Museum, by the purchase of the Museum of General Koller, at Prague. The purchase was made by M. Alexander You Humboit (who went from TopUts to Prague on purpose) and Professor Levesow. VIENNA, AUGUST IG. Her Majesty the Archduchess Maria Louisa, who, with her son, is now in Upper Austria, with the Emperor and Empress. will re turn to Vienna and see the camp ; and about the 20th of September set out on her return to Puma. We bear that his Highness the Duke of Reichstadt will study another year in the Military Academy, and then enter the army. There was a gees. bustle on Change yesterday, in consequence of the arrival of several Cabinet messengers, and the funds rose. This agitation h ascribed to the unfavourable rumours respecting the operations of the Russian army, which are still in circulation to-day; according to these reports, which not only state the Rus sians to have been defeated at Varna, but surprised at Schumla, General Diebitsch being killed on the spot, the Russian army was retreating, sad this was the reason that the Emperor Nicholas had gone to Odessa. But nothing Is known either from an official or even respectable authority of a motion of the Russian army, and consequently it may be presumed that all these reports originate with speculators in the funds. An Austrian courier has been sent fromViruni'to Constantinople. for the purpose, it is said, of again advising the Porte to yield. and to persuride it to send Plenipoten tiaries to the Russian bead-quarters. Madam de Tatischeff, wife of the Russian Anthasaador, has set out to day for Odessa. CORFU, JULY 23.

To compkte the accounts of the Russian operations Before &bomb. we extract from a Russian Journal the following par ticulars-- " CAMP BEFORE SCHUMLA, Jacv 27. " After the happy resuk of our operations on t►e 20tb, the Em peror ordered the rid corps to fortify the position t►at had just been taken from the Turks. These works were completed with extraordinary rapidity on the night of the 20th. On the fi u nor two wings approached Schenk without meeting with tiny opposi tion. From the 22d to the 24th we prosecuted our operations, the object of which was to invest the enemy more and more closely.— 'Every night we erect redoubts nearer to the camp of Schemata. Hitherto we have net been interrupted in these works by attacks or otherwise. " Yesterday a division of heavy artillery and a battery of Congreve rockets arrived from &allow. Hussein Paths occupies Schumla wit► Pony or fifty thousand men ; but what incenses the strength of his position is the circumstance that his entrenchments are this time on all the heights, which were formerly neglected, and being out of the town, entirely command it. " General !Loth invested SUistria on the gist. The resistance made by the enemy on this occasion caused hint considerable loss ; and the Turks being driven into their works, lost on the very first day the greater part of the vineyards which surrounded Silistria, and which they fotmetly used to maintain their positions." DANTZIC, Aug. 21. In consequence of the very unfavourable accounts which we have received from the neighbouring countries, and especially from Eng. land and France, foe some weeks past, respecting the prospect of the harvest, oar corn trade has become uncommonly brisk. For several past days large orders have been received both from Rag land and France; and in consequence of the continued rains, and the damage which the wheat la those pans, and in the whole i country, Is likely to safer, there have been some speculations for some amount. In consequence of this a great part of our stock has been bought up, and is out of the market. As the rainy wen.' titer still continues, and the accounts of the quality of the wheat' that has been get In in this neighbourhood are onfavounbk, prices, particularly of wheat and rye, have risen about thirty per cent. and there is no doubt that If considerable orders should be received, a further more rapid and considerable rise will take place than could have been espected a short dme ago, as the stock of wheat in the first band Is reduced to 7 or i,OOO lasts, that of rye to a few hun dred lasts, and as for barley, oats, and pease, there is none to be had. To day the following prices have been paid—Wheat, high red, 400 to 43S Rosins per last of See bushels (Seidel); Red, uo to 700 florins; %feria' sorts, 390 to 330 Sarin& Rye, 135 to 900 tom. At these prices, however, very little at this moment is to be bad; the fine desctiptiOns of wheat is partkular are scarce; the; can be had only la small parcels: for wheat much higher prices are asked than have yet been paid. It is remarkable that the last pur chases of Rye seem to bare been mach on &OA account. To day 214 •arim have been paid let rye, sad 430 for best wheat.— Peasant Stake Givialt, ag.

Consols have been, during the morning, at 1171 for the Account, alternately buyers and sellers, with little doing. A report is going about, that there is a great deficiency in the Quarter's Revenue, but we can assert, with some confidence, that in all the departments of the Escise, the Revenue is most favourable: it is only the Customs that falls short at present. Letters from Frankfort, of a recent date, bring the Metalliques at 94j, and state that it was generally expected that neguciations would take place between the Russians and Turks. THE ARMY.

PROM THE HAMPSHIRE TELEGRAPH, AUGUST SO. The various reports respecting the resignation of the office of Lord High Admiral, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, could nut fail to excite our live hest solicitude. We are well aware how deeply the event interests a large portion of our readers. The fol lowing are the f,uits of our anxious inquiry into the subject, and we do nil hesitate to vouch for their anthen• ticity. The public expenses of the naval examinations by his Royal Highness have been rated by public ru mour at eighty thousand pounds, and have furnished one of the causes assigned by rum iur for hi s R o y a l Highness's retirement from office. We can, however, positively, and without fear of contradiction, assert, that the public expenses on these occasions did not exceed 2,0001. We do no mean to say that the liberality and hospitality displayed on these occasions cost no more. By no means; but we can fearlessly assert, that upon every one of these occasions, a more heavy charge was defrayed by his Royal Highness out of his own coffers. The splendid style with which Earl Spencer, when at die head of the Admiralty, supported his station, com pared with the miserable economy practised by others, his been often extolled in the public press. Was it less incumbent upon the Heir Presumptive to the Throne to support his still mote dignified office of Lord High Admiral of England with appropriate splendour, asso ciated as it was in him with his earliest recollections, his favourite study and pursuits, his ardent, his enthusiastic devotion to the navy? His liberality in thus doing ho nour to the high station to which he was called has caused him, while his whole income was only 47,0001. a year, to expend, in the 16 or 17 months in which he has been in office, very little short of 100,0001. but how small a portion of this sum was defrayed by the public, under one particular head of expense, we have already stated. His outfit cost nearly 40.0001. hit reviews mode of life having been free from expense or *siesta. lion, his R yal Highness's table not having been able to display even a service of plate. By his resignation of office he suffers a diminution of income to the amount of 8,0001. a year, and this, with the heavy ea. penes incurred in the performance of its duties, mu st leave him, we regret to say, subject to a large ammo lation of debt. Some persons may consider this a greater sacrifice to the public service than prudence would sanction; but we ast, what indivieu I, how. ever economical, would do credit to the office of Lord High Admiral of England without sustaining a heavy loss by his sudden and early retirement from it? Th e Heir Presumptive to the Throne, a man so competent, so anxious to discharge the deities of his office, so kW,- fatigable in business, and so acceptable to the Navy, could not have anticipated such a result. He had right . to speculate up'n such a lengthened continuance in office as would enable him to redeem the e xtraordi. nary expenses necessarily accompanying the outset, and to retrieve his affairs. He did not, like many eitiiirs,• come into office to hoard up money, or recruit a broken. fortune; he came into office perfectly unembarrasse t i, with generous and princely notions, and a detei tion to d.:vote himself to the good of his wintry. In April, 1827, his Royal Highness was perfect.) , free from debt: lie did not owe a shilling. T e dente and economy of his domeet c arraiikements were acknowledged in the debates in the House of Commons. To them and the unassuming and un ostentatious disposition of his amiable vinvire, h e was indebted for this enviable situation. His Royal Highness has not surreodered it to extravagance and fully. It has been sacrificed in the rub' c set vic e , With respect to his Royal Highness's resignation, it is not necessary to go into any details or specific causes, if we rtflect that no Minister exists who would not have been happy to place a less inde. pendent person at the Adis.italty, and one who, besides attention, was, being a Member oaf the Cabinet, able and willing to enter deeply into politics, and fight a battle in the Senate. Patronage, in these times of ecorrort 7, is necessary to keep the actual friends and wou!cl-bs. friend, of Government in good humour. and one great branch was taken from the Minister by the Royal Duke's even-handed justice to all. The Ileir Presump. live could not be turned out nor asked to r tire, but things might be easily arranged so as to offend high and proper feeling, and lead to a tender 4:f the office to the Crown. We have, however, the satisfaction to add, that no will exists in any spatter ; that the King has avowed his marked approval of all that has I ern done by the Roy el Duke in every step of the busire•s ; and that it has had the effi-ct of rendering the tie between the Sovereign and his Royal 13r.i.her stronger even . than it previously existed. • • The Crocodile, 28, Captain J.,W.
