A report is current that hostilities between the Rus.iaes and Turks were resumed on the Bth instant, and that the Russians were expected to be before Constantinople on the 15th. It would ap pear that the massacre of some Russian out-posts by the Turks had caused the negociations to be broken off. It is also said that some Franks have been assassinated at Constantinople, and that troops were landed from the English and French ships to restore tran quillity; but the sight of foreign soldiers had only increased the fury of the Mussulmans; and, at the time of the departure of the courier who brought this important news, a dreadful crisis was ap prehended at Prra, Galata, and the other quarters of Constantinople. The public papers, and the German correspondence; assert as posit• Live the intelligence of a Convention having been signed between the Grand Vizier and General Diebitsch, with the condition of a ratification in the space of ten days. But European diplomatists will not find themselves agreed, in a delay so short, upon the con ditions of $ Treaty which involves so many jealousies and in terests. On the 6th of October next, some grand military ma. nauvres will be executed on the plain of Grenelle, before the King. It is said ;bat 18,000 men will be assembled on the plain. blarie-Louise. Duchess of Parma, arrived lately at Lausanne, with a suite of fifty-two persons and eleven carriages ; she stopped at the Hotel de Faucun. Next morning she visited the Cedral, and afterwards departed for Italy , by the passage of S ath implon. It is not, without doubt, forgotten, that when the new Empress of Brazil was preparing to traverse France, on her way to embark for Brazil. the Government formally opposed this journey, sup porting itself upon the law which proscribes from the French ter ritory all the members of the Napoleon family. A similar act of urbanity has been shown to Lady L--., the daughter of L u cien Bonaparte. This lady, by means of her English came, had suc ceeded in deceiving the vigilance of the Alguazib of the grander, and bas been in Paris for some days , but she has just received so ne,ter to quit the capital within a very short period. MADRID, Sen. 17.—(Parrsen Connsseonnescs.) The King is q u ite recovered from the effects of his late accident. He continues at the Escurial. On the 14th, his Majesty was oc cupied with the Minister of Finances, M. BaUasteros • and on the 15th with M. Salmon, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The comple tion of the 12,000 muskets destined for the island of Cuba is going on witb the greatest speed in the Royal manufactories, and they are expected to be shortly ready. ROME, Sm. 16. The nearer the Marquis de Palma, Ambassador of the Brasils, approaches to Rome, the more the secret of his mission to Pius the Eighth becomes penetrable. This Plenipotentiary is said to be charged with the task of getting acknowledged, by the Holy Father, several Bishop* who have been appointed by the Emperor. He is to treat with the Court of Rome respecting local affairs, about which it would have been difficult to have come to an under standing by diplomatic correspondence. It is asserted here that the Sovereign Pontiff having been in formed that there existed at Rio Janeiro public markets for the sale of slaves, and that their treatment was very scandalous, has authorised the Nuncio, who is to represent him at the Brazilian Court, to require from the Emperor a prohibitory law against this most infamous traffic, which dishonours a Constitutional Govern ment, and is only suitable to such Governments as that of Don Miguel. •••= 1 From the Journal des Debate of Sunday. The following appears in the Prieurieur de Lon of the 22d of Svptember VIEILLE, Ssrv. 20. This morning it was reported in the city that M. Faure Finale, the Mayor of this commune , and his assistant, Chapnis, were dismissed from their situations by a Ministerial order, for having taken part in the honours bestowed on )1. de Lafayette. Such were the terms of the decision taken by Al. de la liourdonnaye, Minister of the interior, on the 11th of this month, and transmitted t.• Al. Finant, by the Prefect of the Isere. This news has sensibly irritated the inhabitants of this commune, who cannot understand wby peaceable citizens may not,witbout crime, welcome a Deputy. MI the population, of their own accord, met in the public square. There each expressed his regret, and recalled to me- Dim the hunourabk sets of the Administration of the dismissed 11agistrates. Soon the news was carried to the office of the Mayor, and there M. Peyron, the former assistant, addressed them in the name of his fellow-citizens. The Mayor and his assistant were much affected at this mark of esteem, and testified their gratitude in the strongest manner. In the evening a splendid banquet was given to them by their fellow-citizens, and they were also serenaded under their windows. The Prefect of the Isere has appointed provisionally to fill the situation of Mayor, M. Etienne Buscaillon, senior municipal counsellor; but this respectable old man replied, that M. Finant being dismissed from the office by his Excellency the Minister of the Interior, for baying taken part in the public honours bestowed on M. de La fayette at Vizille, he came to declare to him that he, as well as the o:het inhabitants. having also contributed to these honours, he could not accept the functions with which he had wished to charge him. The police published yesterday in Paris the following notice — PA MS, Seer. 44. This morning, about eleven o'clock, a reticule of green levantine was i.tolen from a chair upon which a lady was praying, in the church of St. Ruche. containing-1. A hundred and twenty thou sand trance, in notes of the Bank of France, of 1,000 francs each.— :. A cambric pocket-kandkerchkf, marked C. F.-3. A key of an apartment.-4. A purse of cnmson.dyed silk, with a steel clasp. '1 hese articles were taken by two young boys of 13 and 14 years of age, who wt re to the church. • From the Constitutionnel of Sunday. It is reported that overtures have been made to several Depu ties, in order to ascertain if they would support a Ministry of which M. de Polignite formed a part, and tsawhich M. Moonier and Baron Portal should belong, the two latter having, during the last Session, co-operated in procuring the downfall of the Martignac Ministry, but thought they were winking fog themselves, and not for Messrs. de la B•wrdunnaye and Bourmont. • The overtures have had no sort of success. France at this time of day requires a more solid guarantee than the choice of men who have been able to do nothing but draw theinstives from downfall t downtall, under all the Ministers since 1823. We are no longer at Ihe time of the Congres4 of Aix la Cnapelk. • It is said, too, that the Minister for Foreign 'Affairs has sent some special propositions to M. de Martignac, the' Ministry beginning to tind that they want a man of talent. But these negotiations may fait. M. de Mattignac knows his Lafontaine by heart, and be is by no means disposed a second time to draw the budget from the tire, for the Bertrand of the congregation. CIRCULAR OF Al. DECOURVOISIER—ESPIONAG E. The Keeper of the Seals, forced into his last intrenchments, has today published his famous circular, which at first he carefully con cealed and contradicted by means of his subordinates, and which at last be himself denies in the AfonUestr in the most equivocal terms. But it would seem as if, under this Ministry of violence and law cunning, an official contradiction almost always amounted to a posi tive confirmation. Why, instead of printing yesterday his equivocal disavowal,diilhc nut publish the drcular itself,which he is now forced to submit to the controulisf public opinion? Why did he not make it known at the time he sent it to the Prodoeurs-Generaux? It was because it is In the nature of the puhce to conceal itself in darkness; because it would be nonsense to make a measure of espionage public. People who are watched are not told of it, nor are they informed of the names and descriptions of their (A sti-vers. The tollowing is the text of this circular, which the iietgy of public opinion has wrested from the secret portfolio of his Excellency : " Paris, Sept. 1, 18i9. 6 . M. Li Piociailla LIZNUAL—I beg you to send me, on the Ist of each mouth, a ieport upon the state of opinion in your neigh bourhood, and of the efforts which have been made to mislead, and to excite disorder. It Is by means of the Procuteurs-Getteraux that the dovernment can obtain the most exact informadou upon this point. This information the King's Procureurs can easily furnish you with, as they have a continual come:ion with the Mayors and Justices tat Peace of their Arrondissements, and they have, besides, numerous auxiliaries. i, I, I i .i , I t , 1 J hi 1 t. , 1,. o X l l 1 .1 " The Wag wishes for the happiness of his people.

" Receive, M. le Proc uteur -General, the assurance of my dis tinguished consideration. (Signed) " COURVOISIER." The inexhaustible eloquence of the late Deputy is no longer to be found in this document, which is only distinguished for Its energetic laconicism. Courvoisier, too, by adopting brevity, has not become obscure; nothing is more significant—nothi all ng is more clear—it is espionage without a sentence. What ! the Mayors, the paternal administrators of their commune% charged to make opinions a matter of police, to dive into the sentiments of their fellow-citizen% and to furnish bulletins of them to the Procureurs Generaux, with whom they have continual connexion! Thus, Justices of Peace, whose mis sion ought to be characterised by union, confidence, and, if we may um the expression, with friendship, are placed as centinels to sur prise the secrets of those whom they are appointed to judge. 13e bold an office of conciliation transformed into an inquisitorial surveillance ! What functions requite a more rigorous impartiality than those of King's Procoreur—a more absolute absence of party passion Organs of the law. they ought, like the law, to be without anituo airy, and without prejudice. There is in this adulterous mixture of the duties of Magistrate and the duties of Inquisitor—in this disorder, which raises, from the recesses of conscience, prejudices which one is not always strong enough to overcome —something immoral and monstrous, which overturns every idea of probity and honour, and which tar nishes the gown which should ever remain pure. We are not, however, ast onished that M. Courvoisier should make that multitude of auxiliaries take the character of ob servers; for it is very certain that the whole nation is unanimous against the Ministry, and that the great majority even of those who are condemned to follow the noble trade of a spy them. selves, most ardently desire the Charter in their secret thought' When a man feels that he is detested by all the world, every od is an object of suspicion to him. The anziety b France y commenced with bis accessios, and that of his sinister friends, to the Ministry; and, therefore, it is himself, and not France, that be must blame. We have one more remark to make--that this benign circular is from the moderate man of the Ministry—the man of the cen tre left. Let people judge by al. de Courvoisier of the wisdom of his colleagues, and then let it be asked if Frame has reason to alarm herself. When M. de Bei leyme was appointed to execute the office which his politics did not allow bins to keep, he endeavoured to substitute the regular forms of justice for the capricious forms of Police. M. de Courvoisier, on the contrary, disgraces the sacred character of the Magistracy by submitting it to the inquisitorial practices of the Police. months ago, is singleand reminds u contrast brings how wretched wons to our recollectiare no w. what ewere two e AFFAIRS OF THE EAST. Were we wrong in blaming the flippancy and reserve of the official communications of the Ministry? is it thus that the conm munications should be established betwee n the government ad a great people, relative to those questions upon which the most en lightened men now meditate, and whose solution concerns every understanding, as it affects every positive interest? The Manlies► only broke silence upon the affairs of the East to augment th e e com plication of uncertainties with which the tichsessenseet isenve loped. Reduced to the German press and private correspondence as the only means of information, the public have still understood the question better than from the Ministerial lines extracted from the dispatches from Constantinople. Our Ministers do not even know how to avail themselves of the telegraph. Peace is concluded at the moment we write, or else it is more t han probable; the Sultan cedes; the Emperor Nicholas exceeds the limits of moderation, &c. And then, all of a sudden, a silence ensues, as if there were tie longer a capital to preserve, prelimi naries to hasten, or treaties to sign. Let us make up for this silence. A courier arrived yesterday from head-quarters; but, far from finding in his dispatches the confirmation of the Ministerial hopes, nothing is spoken of but the renewal of hostilities. According to these dispatches, Ge neral Diebitsch found in his first conference with the Turkish Commissioners the political bad faith common to all negociatioes of the Porte • be discovered in their first over tures onl y an effort to gain time , an enemy now consisting of only 50,000 men, and having betore it a capital with a population eight times its number. In this state of things be probably thought it prudent to continue at once his movement upon the Dardanelles and Cobe n stantinople. even though he should com p romise the repose of t harem. and the inviolability of the Turkish orijlmonie. • After all, may not peace be as well concluded at the Seraglio as at the Russian bouac s this last way of signing it worthy of the dignity of a c onqueror s ? Spite of Lord Wellington and. M. Metternich, aid probably %1. de Polignac, it might happen that a bulletin could reach us from Gen. Diebitsch, dated at Constanti nople. Have all the difficulties of a negociation and a definitive peace between Russia and the Porte been the work of a few hours, and the result of a single conference ? Is nut this peace surrounded with obstacles, and is the mind lost in conjecture to fix a solid basis to any transaction between the two empires? Must we weigh in the ordinary balance of reason and probe bility the determination of such a sovereign as Mehmoud, and the destinies of an empire like Turkey ? No person can say to what point the obstinacy of the Sultan may be carried, or where the m deo deration of Nicholas may b e limited. On these, however, . ponds the question of peace, connected with the inherent obstacles in tbc nature of the relations of the two countries and their geo graphical situation. Of all the bases to be given to a Treaty be tween Russia and the Ports, it is known that the navigation of the Black Sea is the most difficult condition for stipulating justly at the same time for the freedom of Russian commerce, and the security of the Ottoman empire. From the day when Russian cannons pass freely under the win dows of the Seraglio, the Sultan will no longer have a foot of terri tory in Europe. He would, in fact. submit to that which would not be tolerated even by a mediatised Prince of the Germanic Confederation.—Jostrnal des Detests of Sunday. (The Journal des Debats proceeds to argue upon the difficulties which will necessarily present themselves in the way of peace, and concludes by repeating its doubts of the correctness of the pacific intelligence which has appeared in the Government Papers.] The ConstitvVonnel last received has the following piece of news :—" We have on our frontiers an army which threatens to cross them. These are the troops of General Roo.rit tra N (the General of the Order of Je suits at Rome), who, with the Ordonnauce of the Bth of August in his hands, in the guise of a manifesto, de mands back his province of Montrug, of Dole, of Saint Achent, Montmorillon, and other places. It is said that the Ministry is in negotiation with this terrible militia, who talk as high as the Russians before Constantinople. Plenipotentiaries have been sent to request a suspension of their march until the battle of the budget shall be gained. But it is supposed that they are as intractable as General Diebitsch, sod that they demand some place by way of security." The following extract of a letter in a contemporary, • . from a Gentleman at Constantinople, is confirmatory of the previous accounts of the distracted state of the Turkish Empire : " My ill luck pursued me as to contrary winds, and I was six days and nights coming front the Darda nelles in an open boat, touching at almost every town on the way, by which means I had an excellent oppor tunity of seeing the real state of the war. Throughout the whole distance of about 160 miles, the roads, the paths, and the boats, were covered with Turks, chiefly Asiatics, flying front the seat of war, and selling their arms, horses. ; the peasants also were flying with their effects into Asia, wherever they could find the means, and we were often obliged to start speedily front watering or landing places to prevent our boat being taken forcible possession of, which, thanks to a double barrel gun and pistol, remained in my service. I was surprised to see such a general defection amongst the Turks, at a moment, too, when the sacred standard is hoisted ; but the war is most unpopular to the Turks in general, on account of the destruction of the Janissaries, and the attempt at European discipline ; besides which the Greek population leans to Russia, nor is the Sultan any great favourite, on account of the late heavy taxes ; and the Russians, who know the real state of things (from the Greeks), have increased the discontent by not making prisoners latterly, telling the Turks they were at war with the Sultan, and not with the people, and to retire to their homes ; which injunction they were obeying faithfully as I came along, for I was not only amongst them, but bad frequent conversations with the retiring combatants, who were too numerous to feel ashamed ; nor were they badly received in the towns on the European side when em barking, because the people of these places bad already played the same trick." speakable of its degenerated taste, if it had witnessed uninterfering the dispersion of an establishment endeared to the country by so many classical and improving recol lections. The Temple of Su A KSPEA RE, unatricken by time, yet withering—amidst intellectual millions—under the blight of national neglect, would have been a prodigy and a reproach inconceivable— Dedecas, approbriumque mil ! It has been averted, however, even if the subscriptions were to proceed no farther : but we confess, we were never among those, who contemplated the possibility of such a catastrophe. We thought too highly of the moral pride of the country, not to speak of its better feelings and propensities. In addition to the already handsome list of noble and public-spirited benefactions, at the head of which stands the name of the Duke of BEDFORD for £2oo—a gift equally politic and munificent—we understand that on Friday next the English version of the Marriage of Fi garo is to be performed at the King's Theatre, for the benefit of the embarrassed House. Such a well-timed liberality no doubt will considerably increase the fund, and does equal honour to the head and heart of the lessee, M. LA PORTE. The popularity of the piece here will be swallowed up in the popularity of the occasion : added to which, the united appearance of Madame MALIBRAN GARCIA and Miss PATON—who have never yet been seen on the stage together, but who are to blend on that evening their generosities and their fascinations—will complete the attractions of the bill. Covent Garden Theatre will throw open its doors to the public in the middle of the ensuing week, and its first representation is to be the play of Romeo and Juliet. Ex cited, or alarmed—or both—by the critical situation of that establishment, it is now ascertained beyond a doubt that the public will owe to the very " clouds that lowered upon the House," a new Juliet in the per son of Miss K EUBLE. There is a magic in that name, overpowering equally to the thought and me mory, which brings us back to the first days of its maiden glory, when entranced audiences held their breath with emotion at the triumph of the heart-com manding SIDDONS. It is a name identified with the very soul of drama—even far more from its association with the daughters than with the sons of that gifted family—and it is delightful to see it inherited by such congenial talent. The superior mind of this young lady has not, however, been contented to study personation merely, but has soared already in the highest field of the drama. A tragedy, which by the best judges has been pronounced an emanation from the first order of genius, is known extensively to be from the pen of Miss KEMBLE. We have heard of this play, that the bar to its representation is almost as honourable as its production : namely, that the subordinate charac ters are so highly cast, that no corps dramatigue is ade quateto do justice to them. It is understood t hat for a long time the parental anxieties, and positive interven tion of Mr. KEMBLE between his aspiring daughter and the fame she seeks, have alone restrained a mind con scious of " the divinity within it," and bent upon re viving the interrupted lustre of its lineage. CITY. TwsEms o'CLocc. The Consol market appears heavy in the absence of official in formation from the theatre of war.

At present the Account is going off well. Brazil Stock is not quite so good u yesterday. In other Foreign Securities scarce anything doing. There is no Express front Paris this day, to the great disappointment of many. We are informed—and we believe it—that after the preliminaries of the armistice between the Turks and Russians had been agreed to, the Turks had no money to ,advance: upon which General D EBITSCII refused to eign the Treaty, and the Commissioners returned to Constantinople, after having done—nothing ! The discipline in the Russian army is beyond descrip tion. A Russian soldier, at Adrianople, offended a Turkish lady by pulling up her veil ; he was immediately taken and shot. The Packet ship York, from New York, of the 6th Sal*. Kai arrived off Holyhead. The papers and letters have not 3'et come to hand. Canton Papers to the sth April have been received at the North and Sout h American Coffee-house.—Extrat from the Canton Registe r of the 4th April :—" Our ad vices from Batavia, down to the end of January, give an unfavourable picture of the state of public affairs in that country. The war is described as being carried on in a very lifeless manner, both on the part of Government, a s s well as by the insurgents,—without any prospect of being brought to a speedy termination. It was thought that the movements of the few troops who keep the field, was very ill di r ected, creating o t he nl an useless exposure of the European soldiers, by which hospitals were filled with sick • and the ranks so quickly thinned, that it was apprehended they would soon be left without sufficient troops to act even on the defensive." Reports were in circulation at Batavia that the Prince Of SANE WEIMAR was coming out with five or six thousand men : it was not generally thought likely to take place. Trade was very dull,the merchants a nxiously waiting the coming in of the coffee crops. A letter from Berlin, received by a Prussian Gentle man of high rank in London, says—" It is not true that an armistice has been agreed to between the Turks and Russians. The facts are these :—General Diebitsch in formed the Turkish Commissioners that he had no po ow wer to modify the conditions of peace. He allowed, h ever, a certain number of days for consideration , Pro mising not to enter Constantinople until the time bad transpired ; but he sent forward all his light nom*, to be ready to enter if the condition s were not complied with- THE EVENING STAR. r r " 4 P' , GATIS • • LONIWN.

We invite attention to an article in the Times this morning, on the subject of some Spanish refugees — about three hundred in number—just landed in this coun try from Portugal. It exhibits in great, detail—and with much humanity and considerateness of feeling—the desti tute and perishing condition of these friendless men. After a detention of upwards of twelve months in the unwhole some prison-ships of the tyrant MIGUEL, they were banished—as they were incarcerated—en masse, without the smallest relief •to afford them even the subsistence of an hour. They have wandered from the coast to Lon don, suffering the severest privations, and are now sleep ing every night—and it is to be feared, many of them dying—in the open streets. There is no fund, from which the means of providing for them can be taken, though so much was subscribed last year, its application having specific directions : in the meantime, the hapless victims of tyranny and persecution, are succumbing nightly in this vast metropolis, for the want of raiment and food and shelter. We hope the generous appeal of our con temporary will not be lost on an always benevolent public, and that the task of mercy will be undelayed. This morning we received German Papers to the instant. They relate chiefly to local matters. A sub joined article, from Mayence, will be perused with in terest by the mercantile classes, as a blessing to the countries on the Rhine. In the Nuremberg Correspon dent, of the 22d instant, there is an article from Saxony dated the 16th, by which we are informed that the Duke of SAXE MEININGEN, before he set out on his travels, made every arrangement for a new Constitution, to be discussed with the Estates. The Deputies have ex pressed their opinions very freely on some points ; and, from the well known sentiments of the DuKE and his Councillors, it may be expected that this, the youngest of all the German Constitutions, will perhaps be the most liberal. In these papers there is not the slightest allusion to the proceedings of General DIESITSCH ; but in the article ' front the Allgemeine Zeitung, the reader cannot fail to observe how the Principalities, once tribu tary to Turkey, now bow down before the all-powerful EMPEROR of RUSSIA. FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, Seer. 6. The President of Seltachin left Jassy again on the 26th ultimo, to return to Bucharest. At Boltaschan he bad an interview with Gen. Woronsoff. DI. Korey, who had protested against some of the ordinances of the President, so highly offended hiss, that be was obliged to resolve to go into banishment in Bessarabia. The four Moldavian Boyards who were called to Bucharest, to the Commission assembled for deliberating on the affairs of the province, have acquired strong claims to the gratitude of their countrymen, by addressing a petition to the Emperor Nicholas, re questing that Moldavia may in future be permitted to export its cattle to foreign countries, as soon as the wants of the Porte are supplied. This permission would have the most beneficial come quences for the province ; and his Maje.ty is said to have already given the assurance that, in the negociadons of the affairs of t he e be p r incipality, attention should be pa id to it. It is, however, to regretted that the Wallachlan Boyards did not take similar steps, to obtain the same favour fur their province. The latter were constantly engaged in determining the revenues of the future Hos. podar, which they endeavoured to reduce as much as possible; and to secure to themselves a portion of the lucrative offices.-- Prince Stourdza, late Hospodar of Moldavia, continues to re side on his estates in Bessarabia, and enjoys the favour of the Em peror Nicholas .wh Prince Gregory Ghika, late Ho.podar of of Wallachia, lives in a kind of exile at Kimpina. The plague, of which there had been no signs at Jassy for 21 days, suddenly ap peared again on the 30th August in the house of the banker twos . lwanowitz. Three of his clerks, and then he himself, have fallen victims to the disorder.—Algenseine &Meng. Sept. 2.1. • bIAYENCF., Sm. 5. The plan of arrangement founded on the freedom of navigation, which has been proposed by Prussia and Holland, is generally ap proved by all competent judges. The shipping duty in Holland will be 131 cents (the 100 th part of a Dutch Aorta) per cwt. by one mode of conveyance; and 9 cents by another. There is to be a higher transit duty,—first for tea, namely, for Bohea and Congos 1 A. 486 cents; for all other sorts 26.30 cents per cwt. and 2ndly for salt—viz. raw 90 cents; and refined salt 7 fi. 20 cents per cwt. Holland, therefore, reserves an exclusive right in its trade in salt alone ; which is, however, of very little importance to Ger many, since the working of the very productive salt mines at Wimpfen. On corn, fl our , iron , p ulse, groats, and several other articles of produce, the duty is to be 31 cents by land, and ai by water. On articles of inferior value respectively 1 cent and 1; and lastly, for market provisions 3-sth cent. If France and Baden do not object to . the scheme, on account of the transit trade from Havre, and it is carried with effect, the corn. tries on the Rhine may expect the most beneficial effects from it. MUNICH, Sate. 19. According to an accurate census, the population of the kingdom amounted, in the year 1819, to 3,697,404 ; in 1825, to 5,982,537 ; in 1828, to 4,075,197 ; exhibiting an increase of 377,193 Fran/fort Papers to 24th Sepe. We learn with sincere satisfaction, that the contribu tions undertaken to facilitate the re-opening of Covent Garden Theatre, are augmenting daily ; and it is now an ticipated that the season will commence even with eclat. This is as it should be. It would have been, indeed, a reflection on our opulent aristocracy, and a proof un- U
