I ~~` LON DON. CALCUTTA, M* 21 •` 1;f7% e ft . r7 FILENCH PAPERS. e• The.,Jouelipi des !Mats of the 22d instant contains an Article relative to the' conferences at Akermann, by which it appears that the Russian Commissioners wea ried out with the evasive answers which they receive from the Turkish Government, have forwarded a note to the Commissioners of the latter Power, in which all the demands made by Russia of late years are embodied, and have named the 7th of October as the extreme of time to be allowed to Turkey for returning her answer to these demands. Should the Porte not accede to the demands thus made by the Czar on or before the day awned, it is believed that a Russian army will inimedi ately pass the Pruth, and occupy Moldavia andWallachia. l Amongst other causes of complaint enumerated against Turkey, one is the oppressions exercised by the Porte towards the Moldavians and Wallachians, the Servians, and the Greeks, having Russian letters of safety, They also mention the outrages committed against the Greek Church, of which the Autocrat is the protector. This diplomatic document, in fact, comprises the substance of all the notes presented by M. de Btrogonoff during his embassy. It is further said, that should Russia take military occupation of Wallachia and Moldavia, she will issue a declaration that in doing so, her only object is to save the Chris tians from the oppre,sion of the Turks, and not with any hostile fee;ing towards the Ottoman Empire; and, in proof of her friendly disposition, s'ie will offer to renew the conferences in some city on the Danube. —Turkey may, pc:hips, on the 7th of October, attempt further procrastination, by presenting an evasive an swer, in which case, it ,is said, Russia is prepared to advance immediately an army of occupation of 45,000 men, who, as the season is too far advanced as permit of her supporting such a force for any considerable time, in the already exhausted province of Bessarabia, will, probably, by the middle of November, have taken up their quarters for the winter at Bucharest, whilst an army of 100,030 men concentrated in the environs will take the roads leading to the Southern provinces of Kioria, Podolia, and the Ukraine. The Etoik gives an article from Salonica, which states; that the Sultan had begun to exercise his reforming propensity beyond the sphere of the army. He is said to have issued a Firman abolishing the ancient practice of sequestrating the goods and chattels of every indivi dual,Turk or Greek, who was put to death by order of the Porte. In another Firman, his Highness recommends to the Mollahs and Cads throughout the empire to pay the strictest attention to the administration of justice. The, next Firman issued by the Sultan purports to be for the recovery of many precious things taken from Constan- 1 tinople during the late conflicts and executions,but its real object seems to be the extermination of the Janissaties.

The Metallituee which, ott the 10th, were 911, are to-day 991. Bombay Gantlet to the 15th of June have been re ceived. The following are extracts : The Enterprise steam-vessel returned from Rangoon on Monday last* having left that place on the 14th. Every thing continued quiet ; and there was every reason to believe that the second instalment would be punc tually discharged. The Body Guard was embarked on board several transports, which were to sail on the 16th. The circumstance of chief interest which had occurred, was the foundation of a new town by the Commis sioners, named Amherst Town, Martaban being ceded to the Burmese. The provisions of the treaty which relinquishes the territory on the right bank of the San-Cuen, it became expedient to possess a station on the left bank of that river for the con venience of trade; an eligible spot for that purpose has been selected on a peninsula, near the mouth of the Mar taban river, formed between another river Halyer and the sea, and terminating in Cape Kyai-Kami. We have been favoured with a letter communicating full and in teresting details of the proceedings on this occasion, Which we shall publish in out ntkt. By the lettersl of the 12th we learn that a tantonment had been Constructed for' a Regiment of Native Infantry, That the harbour, which is a very excellent one, had been buoyed, and that of 481 lots into which the new town was divided, 280 had been taken by respectable settlers, chiefly Chinese. A number of Pequers were preparing to move thither, so that, notwithstanding the unfavourable season at which the settlement would be first occupied, the setting in of the rains, great expecta tion was entertained that it would be speedily populous. OFFICIAL POLITICAL DEPARTMENT, Arian. His Majesty's ship Alligator having arrived with Lieutenant-Colonel Tidy, bearing despatches from Ma. jor•General Sir Archibald Campbell and the Com missioners in Ava and Pegu, the following copy is for general information : FORT WILLIAM.—SIR, the late defeats sustained by the Burmese army, and which led to its almost total dispersion, together with the vicinity of the British force to the capital of Ave, has had the effect (I trust sufficiently) to humble that haughty and arro gent Court to a subrinission, which will no doubt be made for a length of time, subservient to its policy, so as not again wantonly to disturb the peace of the British Government in India. T have therefore only to say, that I shall at once return with the few under my command, to Rangoon, there to await the further command of I;overnment. (Signed) A. CAMPBELL Head-quarters, Camp at Eandaboo, 45 miles S.W. of Ava. OP SECOND DESPATCH. The information derived from repeated conferences with the Burmese Agents, 'particularly with Dr. Price and the liberated prisoners, have suggested the expe diency of the following alteration and amendments of the former wording of the Treaty : In Article Bd, the local names of the Anonpietoomiew range of mountains have been inserted, and a passage has been added regarding the rank of Officers to be em ployed as Commissaries for the settlement of boundaries. In Article 4th, Tenasserim, the general name of the Provinces on the coast, has been introduced on the San. luoen river, recorded, as the future boundary between the provinces of Yo and Martaban, a clause defining ,the course to be in future pursued in' disposing of the property of individuals, the subjects of either State, who may demise within the dominions of the other, has been appended to Article Bth. An hundred days from this date has, in the additional article, been mentioned as the term for the payment of the second instalment at Rangoon. (Signed) A. CAMPBELL, Major General. . C. T. ROBERTSON, Civil Conmdmioner. Camp, Yandabo, July 24, 1826. A German Mail has brought us Frankfurt Papers to the 20tb, and accounts from Constantinople of the 25th of August. The unexpected interference on the part f the French Government, in the cashiering the Editor of the Oriental Spedator, the bitterest enemy of the Greeks, has let its real patron out, to the no small surprise of the quidnunc: at home and abroad. These Papers contain some accounts from Greece, but which, it is scarcely necessary to say, require a cautious reception. The fol lowing are extracts: FRANKIORT, Sternum' 19. EXTRACT FROM THE ORIENTAL SPECTATOR. SMYRNA, AUGUST 18.—(After the account of the measures taken by the French Consul, with respect to the Oriental Spectator, it adds:) "The Editor is already changed, and the last Num ber of the 18th of August, is published under the di rection of another person. " The most ridiculous reports and the mut absurd fa bles have been circulated here for some days past. A sanguinary battle, it is said, has taken place off Samos, in which the Turks suffered numerous loss in ships and men ; and the Ottoman fleet, terrified at the arrival of Lord Cochrane, has returned to Constantinople. All that is true of them is no more than that the Greeks sent out three fire-ships, which being obliged by the 'Turkish cannon to take another direction, were burnt, without doing any mischief. The Turkish fleet has been near Mitylene, but the causes of its retreat are not known. "According to the latest accounts from Constantinople, the plague had abated. The levies for the regular troops proceeded rapidly, and with per'ect order. Companies of new recruits daily arrive from all parts of the Empire. It is remarkable that they are all young men, from 17 to 22 years of age." BAGDAD, JUL: 12. The town of Iman Hussein, six leagues from Hula, hi Arabia Felix, has at length submitted to the Govern ment of Bagdad. The well known Roman Officer Doris, after many fruitless solicitations, has now ob tained permission to depart, and is gone to Persia.— Daring the siege of Iman Hussein, a considerable cara van and Jewish pilgrims, of both sexes, set out on the Sth of June last from Bagdad le Hiel, the burying place of the prophet Ezekiel, about five leagues from Hilla. The following day, they were fallen in with by a pre. datory band of the Arabian tribe or Al-Refei, who completely plundered them. The Etcha immediately sent in pursuit of the robbers, but they could not be overtaken, and the pilgrims were obliged to return home almost naked. Several European. who were esta blished in Bagdad, have left that city, and gone to Persia. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aua. 25. The Captain Pacha seems to have given up, for the presetar, the expedition against Samos; which would probably have submitted, if he bad been more speedy in his operations, and not waited till Sachturi arrived with part of the Greek Beet.), After the Captain Pacha bad baffled two attempts of the Greek fire-ships, on the SI st of July and Sd of August, and sunk two of the fire.sbips with the guns of bis own Admiral's ship s he 'landed part of the troops that he had of 1-oard. in • the harbout of Bajadschick (in the Gulf of Scala Nuovi); sailed on the Bth through the Channel of Scio, and an chored the same evening off Mitylene, whither be was fob - lowed on the 9th by the whole fleet. Thence he sent four btigs to Bootle, to land some more of his troops, with whote the sea does not agree, and ordered them to join the other troops et Sajadschick. He himself was still at Mitylene on the 15th ) waiting, it is said, for an an. swer to despatches which he had sent by two Tartars to Constantinople. _ _ We are without news from the Morea and the Archi pelago, on account of the north winds. Letters from Smyrna of the 18th inst. say, that Marquis Paulucci, Commander in Chief of the Imperial squadron, who left Napoli at * the ead of last month, was every hour ex pected at Smyrna. Before he left Tino on the 23d July, he intimated to the Primates of the Nand that he should make them answerable for all acts of violence and spoli ation hitherto so frequently practised on the persons or property of the Catholics settled there, and that on his return to those seas he should require ample satisfaction for every excess of this kind. The following was posted up at the North and South American Coffte-Howe this morning: JAMAICA, JULY Si. a The Spanish felucca, San Joseph, out four days from St. Jago de Cuba, arrived this morning, with a letter from the Governor of St. Jago to the Duke of MANCHESTER, but nothing has as yet transpired of the nature of the despatches. The DARTMOUTH frigate, Captain DUNDAS, has just come to an anchor at Port Royal, from the Havannah. The HUSSAR frigate will sail from this, in a few days, for England." The state of the present supply of oats in Mark lane, for sale, fully Wustrates the wisdom of the measures adopted by his Moaner in Council, the result of which was the Order in Council, published in the Gazette of the Ist of this month, for permitting the importation, for home use, of certain descriptions of foreign spring grain. The weekly consumption of oats in London is somewhere about 25,000 quarters, and during last week tke arrivals of this ar tick from Scotland and England amounted to only one thousand three hundred and ninety-three quarters. From Ireland not a bushel arrived during the same period ; and it is easy to guess at what rate prices, under such circumstances, would have been, had his Mussev's Ministers not foreseen the deficiency, and provided for the wants of his people, by granting permission for the home consumption of foreign grown oats. There cannot exist a greater delusion than that now entertained by the English Agricultural In terest, respecting the repeal of the Corn Laws, but experience will gradully tend the Land Proprietors into more correct notions of national polity, and shew that by exchanging British manufactures and Colonial produce for Continental grower's corn, the value of their property will be increased, inasmuch as the industry of the people will be paid by adequate wages, , and the Poor-rates will be relieved from the burthen of maintaining many able-bodied men, willing to work, but who are kept idle, in deference to the present system of Corn Laws. THE KING. WINDSOR. Sirrncus 26. Tbis afternoon his Maarsry was enabled to resume his customary drive in the Great Park, from three o'clock until half-past five. His filwaxsyr left the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton accompanied by the Loan STEWARD, and drove himself, taking the higher grounds to Cranbourn Lodge, afterwards visiting the New Lodge, in the Forest, and returned through Sandpit-gate. Last evening his Miaow agaitientertained his illustrious visi tors Prince Prince and Princess LIMN, the Dukes of visi tors, and Donn., and the Royal Suite, at dinner. The banquet was on the same splendid scale as that of the preceding BRIGHTON, &PT. 26. This place is crowded to an over flow. Yesterday the Stelae and Marine Parade presented an appearance of fashion and splendour, perhaps never before witnessed at Brighton. The string of equi pages reached in a double line froth the Steine to Kemptown. Colonel Trench, M.P. is one of the latest arrivals. Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, we were visited by a thunder storm, followed by a violent shower of rain; about ten the weather cleared up ; the remainder of the day was delightfully fine. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. The Princess Galitzin left the Brunswick Hotel (late Blake's), Jermyn-street, yesterday, for the Continent. The Marquises of Carmarthen and Queensberry have arrived from Doncaster. The Marquis of Chandos has left town for Wotton, Bucks. Lord Lynedoch is expected at the Hoo, Herta, from Scotland. Lord and Lady Forrester have arrived at Willie Park, Salop, front.a tour. The Hon. George and Lady Georgina Apr Ellis have left the Earl of Carlisle's seat, Castle Howard, Yorkshire on a visit to Lord and Lady Grantham, at their seat, Newby Hail. Borough-bridge. Sir Charles Forbes, Bart. has arrived at Edinglassie, Aberdeen shire, from a tour. Captain and Mrs. Talbot and family have arrived at Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley-square, from the Continent. Lord and Lady Stopford Left ditto yesterday for Paris. Sr; HENRY HALFORD, Mr. M'GREGOR, and Mr. Szmrsox, visited the Duke of Yost yesterday, at the residence of the Duke of Rumann, in Arlington street. His Royal Highness took his accustcmed daily airing in the afternoon in his barouche. Prince LIEVEN, the Russian Ambassador, and the Spanish Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs. Despatches were sent off yesterday from the Foreign Office to Mr. Secretary CANNING, at Paris; also to Sir WILLIAM ATM/ AT, our Minister at Lisbon. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER came to town yesterday morning from Beckenham, and, after transacting business at his residence in Downing-street, returned to Beckenham in the afternoon. An affair of honour, in which two of the leading country Gentlemen of Northumberland are concerned, has excited a good deal of conversation within the last day or two. It appears Mr. Busamx had bought a few fields of the Lemington estate a short time before it was purchased by Mr. P&wsoN, the High She riff. Mr. Buaamt. advertised that Gentlemen were not to shoot on Lemington, as if he had been the owner of that property. Mr. Pawson wrote a card, as we understand, to Mr. Bultaxt.t., inquiring if there was not some mistake. Mr. Ilsmaxee sent an angry reply, and a challenge from the High Sheriff was the consequence. The necessary arrangements were made, but before they could be carried into effect. the parties were bound over by Gloaaa FouTu, Esq. Mayor of Newcastle, on Friday last.--Tyne Mercury. According to the Price Current, the prices of Cotton, Sugar, Coffee, &e. remain steady ; but the amount of business trans acted is not great. Hops are said to exceed the growth of any year within recollection. The market is plentifully supplied with new Hops. The late picking is very favourable : Sussex 80s. a 85s. ; Kent 84s. a 945. ; Worcester 751. to $Ol. --- - The Cholera Morbus has prevailed ill Stockport most alarmingly, and in some instances amongst the poor, it has generated into dysentery, several having died of its effects. The Freischutz was performed at Drory-lane Theatre last evening to a good audience. The scenery is nearly all new, anti one or two mnakal novelties were introduced. Miss A. TRIM took the part of Rea, heretofore performed by Miss POTS; and received much applause. THE ARMY. Thursday ) I 00'4 , of Sappers and Miners arrived in Maidstone from Beornron by water, to shew the effect of pontooning on Colo. nel Panet s plan: A bridge was with surprising celerity, thrown across the Medway, opposite the Cavalry Depot, and detachments of Cavalry (sometimes three alsieast) passed over with ease and safety. Colonel Sir A. Causes arid Colonel PAsoav were both present. Colonel Sir .1. Baows, Conimandant of the Cavalry D e _ pot, and the other Officers, who witnessed the process, appeared highly gratified, and expressed their approbation of the principle on which it is founded. There was a great concourse of spectators, among whom were many of the most respectable families of Maid stone and its vicinity. The let division Of the 4th Regiment of Foot has received falai to march, to-day, from Winchester for Portsmouth. The last division of the 56th Regiment of Infantry embarked on Monday, at Portsmouth, for Hull. A Detachment belonging to the 10th Regiment of Foot marched yesterday morning from Westminster, for Coventry, on route to Nottingham. A Detachment belonging to the east India Company's service embarked yesterday morning on board a vessel in the river, for Gravesend, on route to Chatham. The Berwickshire Yeomanry Cavalry met at Muse on F r id ay sennight, for the annual training. The Regiment is now commanded by Colonel Her and Majot Srornswooos, and it has not b een full and complete since its original formation as this season. [For " Military Prontotienu," tee first page.] CHELTENHAM, SE T. 25. Mr. C. Kemple played at our Theatre, on Saturday evening, for the last time this season, owing to the opening of Covent-garden Them, e. The comedy of the Saspicious Thawed was performed, in which Mr. K. appeared as Mr. Oakley. Th: fineness of the weaths r. on Saturday morning, caused a very numerous assemblage, and fresh subscribers at the Old Well, Sher borne, and Montpellier Spas. Lady Willoughby and family arrived here on Friday evening, in two carriages. Ificr Ladyship has taken a small detached mansion, near the Montpellier Spa, which has been lately built by Mr. Fisher. Her Ladyship belt. the first inhabitant, it is to be called Wil. loughby Howse. Colonel Berkeley's Fox hounds have commenced crib-hunting, in the Cheltenham country. BROADSTAIRS, SEPTEMBER 26. I am extremely sorry to see your Paper (which I have read for many years), made the vehicle of con veying intelligence to the public, by no means correct, relative to this favourite resort. Rest assured, that so far fiom its being the fact,- 64 That there is not a house to be procured here at present," that there are several, some of which are of the largest description, in the most favourite parts, unoccupied. Friday evening there was a ball here, which boasted as brilliant and elegant an assemblage as has been witnessed during the season. The company began to assemble about ten o'clock, and quadrilles, under the direction of the Master of the Ceremonies, with Wieppart's band commenced very soon after. Dancing was kept up till past two o'clock, when the company separated for the night, highly gratified with their even ing's entertainment. Amongst the company were— Lord Teynham and his two daughters; the Hon. Miss Comm; General Newbury; Major and Mrs. Plenderleath; Major and Miss Hooke ; Captain Mrs. and Miss Cotton; Captain, Mrs. and Misa.Hayman • Captain Maynard. R.N. Mr. Mrs. an d the Miss Maynard's •' R:tv. Mr. Mrs. and the Miss Du Chair's; Rev.

New York Papers to the 16th tilt. reached us last night. They contain no news of public interest. By the Lady East, TALaaRT, arrived off Portsmouth, .ve have received Bombay Papers to the Bth April, but their contents are of little interest. The Bengal news contained in them has been anticipated by the arrivalof the Resource. The trade of Birmingham participates in the general improvement taking place in other manufacturing din. tricts and the orders for goods are increasing in number and extent. A meeting of Hop-planters was held at the Bull Inn, Maidstone, on Thursday last, for the purpose of consi dering some plan for giving to growers of Hops, a fair remuneration for his capital, labour, and risk. Nothing decisive took place; but a suggestion made by Mr. C. T. RussaLL, appeared to meet with general approval. It was, that application should be made in the proper quarter for permission to Bond Hops in the town of Maidstone for a certain period. Friday, the ancient village of Athelstonford, near Haddington in North Britain, was the scene of joy and festivity, on account of Sir DAVID Kitatocts's return tp Scotland, and particularly on account of his coming of age on that day. At one o'clock upwards of three hun• dred of the villagers and tenantry on the estate arrived at the mansion-house of Gilmerton, led on by a High land piper, in his full dress, and partook of an excellent dinner of roast beef, ale, and whiskey. After giving nine cheers for the prosperity of the young Laird, the bonny Scotch lads and lasses continued dancing on the lawn till a late hour. At night there was a bonfire on Kildnff•hill; the village of Athelstonford was brilliantly illuminated ; and the festivities at the mansion-house were kept up till six o'clock the following morning. DOVER. SEPT. 26.—8 y recent accounts from Ostend, we learn that from the strict investigation pursued, it has been elicited almost to certainty, that a serjeant who was stationed as one of the guards of the magazine, was the individual who introduced fire on the premises which caused the explosion. It is stated that he reported to the Lieutenant in attendance that he smelt fire, and was very solicitous for his leaving the premises; after strong persuasion he prevailed, and the cooper seeing the parties retiring in haste, suspected something wrong, and left also; he had not proceeded far before the catastrophe occurred, which drove him a considerable distance ' without much injury. The serjeant was killed , and the Lieutenant mortally wounded. It appears the Government had suspicion of a considerable embezzle. ment of stores, and having caused an examination of the quantity, the peculators had taken this diabolical means of preventing detection. OSTEND, SEPT. 22.—1 n addition to the horrid de tails of the 19th inst. contained in my letter of yester day's date, I have now to acquaint you, that the ami able wife of Chevalier Da Bossy, accompanied by her two daughters (accomplished ladies of about 18 and 19 years of age), were driving in their cabriolet within half a mile of the arsenal, at the moment of the explo sion, when Madame Bossuz was violently struck on the right temple with a large piece of timber, supposed to be part of the ruins of the powder magazine, and killed instantaneously. The noise of the explosion set off the horse, a fine spirited animal, at full speed down the bill of Fermoy. Dragging the vehicle against a heap of rubbish by the road side, the two Ladies were ieshed out with considerable violence, and the foot man, who was riding behind, was thrown under the wheel of a diligence passing at the time, by which be had both his legs broken, and was otherwise consider ably injured. On the Ladies being taken up, in the youngest, life was found entirely extinct, and the arm of the other was broken in two places, besides being dreadfully bruised, particularly about the head, so an to render her recovery extremely doubtful. •• •
