The manner in which the Porte has received the Ida inatum, as it is called, has been known here for these three days, and as a person belonging to the department of Foreign Affairs set out the day before yesterday as courier to Vienna, a report has been spread that he takes to our Ambassador at Constantinople positive instruc tions to join in all future occasions the Ambassadors of the three mediating Powers. This report, however, requires confirmation before it can be implicitly ere dited, especially as there does not seem to be any poli tical reason why Prussia should depart from the line of conduct which it has hitherto followed. It is said that when the reviews are over, the King will probably pay a visit to the eastern provinces, and on that occasion have the long-since announced interview with another great Sovereign; but this, too, is a report for the accu racy of which I cannot answer. VIENNA, Bm. 15. Though the rejection of the ultimatums by the Porte has been known here these two two days, it • has w t caused our funds to fall, so fully are our speculator. persuaded that hostilities will not ensue, and that the peace of Europe will not be disturbed. What foreign jourtfals ray of an amry of observation on our frontiers is wholly unworthy of credit. Austria has bad no occasion, since the commencement of the Greek insurrection, to augment its military force on the Turkish frontiers, and this is certainly not the mo ment to reduce it, though no increase is contemplated. mesossess SCORBUTIC AND SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS.

Extract of a letter from Smyrna, dated August 20. .1 For some time past we have lived under great anxiety with respect to the political events that awaited us. The treaty signed at London ekes not presage any good to us ; yet it is not thought that the Allied Powers will proceed to hostilities. a The Turks speak of all these preparations as com posedly as we do, and those who know them and the state of affairs in this country, think that the execution of this treaty will encounter many difficulties. _ _ _ The Splendid, which has arrived here from 'Vera Crud, brings the intelligence that a Spanish seventy four and ft igate, under Commodore Laborde, arrived off that port about the 10th of July.

Besides the measures of precaution presented by the British Government to the Governor of Gibral tar, not to admit privateers into the bay, and particularly to prohibit any armed vessels from leaving it, the Eng lish Admiralty sent a frigate to carry into execution the measures adopted by the Government. What were the severe orders given to the Captain of that frigate? This may be easily known by his actions. He cruised very actively to look after the smuggling vessels which left Gibraltar ; and whether armed or not, he captured them, not even excepting those which were under the English flag. He captured a great number of vessels, which were publicly sold at Gibraltar for the benefit of the captors. These examples frequently repeated, in spire such terror into the smugglers, that they believe the moment has arrived when Great Britain regarded it as unworthy of its greatness and 'dignity to grant protection to these evil-doers. For our part, jealous of the English, honour, we regarded this proceeding as one of those acts of justice which do honour to Governments when they practise the holy maxim of doing unto others as they would. be done uato.— But the agreeable illusion was soon dissipated.— The frigate has left off cruising, and we snppose is re turned to Falmouth in consequence of the•voyage of one of those interested in smuggling, who was probe. bly commissioned by her companions to visit London.' This unexpected event has again excited the hopes of the smugglers, who have again united to canyon their infamous trade on our coasts. It is no longer by secret excursions that they injure our commerce—they now proceed with the most impudent audacity armed ; so that in spite of the peace which exists between us and England, we are forced to behold, by a sort of strange contradiction, the two flags at open war, and they meet with mutual fury, whether it be in presence of the Spa niards on the coasts, or in the presence of the English at Gibraltar. Was ever such a thing seen? And shall We long continue to see a state of things so contrary to the honour of both flags? The English flag was flying on board the Lord Rawdon, a vessel armed with the premeditated design of destroying the Spanish vessel commanded by the brave Murilla. Nine ether vessels armed were also under the same flag to attack and de stroy the flotilla of his Majesty, under the orders of Francois Serafin, and they would have succeeded in their enterprise if the latter had not terrified them by his bold and skilful manoeuvres. But these armed vessels conti nued their voyage, in order to smuggle and even attack the vessels of his Majesty.. Two of these smugglers were in the Bay of Gibraltar, and while one of them endeavoured to find refuge in the mole, the other, a brig, in place of following the example, attacked a ves sel of the flotilla, which it is supposed was alone, and fired very briskly into it with musketry. One Spaniard was killed, and three were wounded. The brave Bal lesteros, however, continued the fight, and gave the rest of the flotilla time to come to his assistance. The Com mandant Serafin called out to the brig to bring to, and allow herself to be examined ; but the English brig, far from acceding to the request, replied by firing.— Could a more insolent provocation be seen ? Even if the vessel bad been under the guns ref Gibraltar, what na tion would allow its flag to be pulled down without daring to defend it? The English brig expected that the batteries of Gibaltar would defend the English flag, but they did not fire, believing no doubt that the brig 'mold conquer. When it was seen, however, that she must give up to Spanish courage, then they thought to snatch her from danger by their protection, which might have taken place had the vessels been within gun ,shot. Can we see a mote scandalous transaction? —g What will other nations say when they hear that vesseld bearing the English flag, and even the artillery of Gi braltar, act against his Majesty's vessels destined to 'prevent the injuries caused to his subjects by thistle guilty parties who are so much detested and punished i n E ng l a nd ? What would this power say if Spain wetel, to act in the same manner towards her ? What has be. come of the rights of nations and of property ? Bal lesteros ought then to have allowed himself to be es terminated by those who had the intention of doiug it, and who made boasting threats, because they were in sight of Gibraltar. „,,i.
