PARIS, Sm. 20. Accounts just received from Constantinople inform us that peace WAS en'the paint of being concluded between Russia aril Turkey. From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday. ODESSA, Sm. 2. Corn, especially wheat, is rising; several houses at Constanti nople, hoping that peace would soon be restored, have already given considerable orders for that article. It is affirmed, that when the Counsellor Fonton was sent for the first time to the camp of the Grand Vizier, the Porte was made acquainted with the conditions which Russia requires for the con clusion of peace, and that the Sultan did nut consider them as ex travagant. The silence of the Ottoman Ministers towards the European Envoys on this subject may well surprise us, and clearly indicates a rooted distrust in the Porte with respect to all the Christian Powers. Pasts, Sari. 21.—The Journal dss Nord of the 19th Sept. says—" We have this moment learned that a courier from Berlin arrived at Lille this morning, bringing the news that peace had been concluded on the 7th between Russia and the Ottoman Porte. " This news was immediately transmitted by telegraph to Paris." This news is premature. Letters from Constantinople, dated 29th August, which have come by way of Berlin, only announce that peace was nearly concluded. Front the illessver des Chambres of Monday. PARIS, Sm.. 20. A letter from Dresden, of 12th of September, announces that it was generally believed at Warsaw that the command of the Polish troops would be given to Coont Sacken, General-in Chief of the II ussian Army of the West. This General is said to be of a mild and conciliatory disposition. whereas the Grand Duke Constantine is reproached for several arbitrary acts, which had excited discon tent among the Polish troops. A letter from Madrid, of the 6th, says that negotiations are going to be opened between France and Spain relative to Gueb hard's Loan. From tile Constitutionnel of Monday. PARIS, Sim 21. AGONY or The MINISTRY.—For fifteen years the counter-revo lution has been at war with France, sometimes openly and some times covertly ; it has never granted us a few moments breathing time, except the better to betray us. The old regime excited the public laughter, when, with its gro tesque tinsel, it showed itself again to a generation which had for gotten it. It then attempted to be cruel to avoid tieing ridiculous, but only succeeded in exciting horror without ceasing to excite ilty. Odious to the Prince which had given the Charter, and to the nation, it was struck with a blow on the sth of September, from which it never arose except by hypocrisy. Affecting to lay aside the liveries of the feudal system, it concealed them under the gown used by the League : not knowing how to be religious, it became Jesuitical. For four or five years its power lasted, but at the first appeal to the country all its scaffolding fell. But now it re-appears in France. To place itself in power was not difficult, but to maintain itself there is what it never thought A. It is a prisoner in tke midst of free institutions ; their meek follies are the bars of the cage wherein it roars, but where it acts not : it gnaws, it bites them, but cannot break them : it is reduced to sigh violence : it Is a paralytic in a rage : it wishes to strike, and sannot raise its arm. From the Journal des Debats. PARIS, Seri.. 21. No person is aware, probably, in France, of the great danger from which we escaped some days before the installation of the new Ministry. What! it will be exclaimed from all sides---we were threatened on August Bth with a greater danger than reached us on August 9th ! Yes, incredulous people!—yes, Revolutionists! who wish to keep France a Constitutional and Monarchical coun try, who are obstinate in believing that the Chamber of Louis X 'III. and the oaths of his August Brother, have settled for ever the question of the Restoration—know all of you, that there existed a vast conspiracy in the first days of August against the Throne, the Altar, against Legitimacy, against every thing which you appear to hallow with your love and your respect. The torus of it is not mentioned—its boundaries and ramifica tions are not yet ascertained; who are the men who conceived it is not known—those who were to execute it are not yet discovered —if it were to break out in Paris or in the provinces, in the Chamber or in the Barracks, or in the Suburbs, is not stated. — Neither is it known in favour of whom or of what it proceeded, su entirely in the dark is the object of its odious machinations. Never mind—this frightful conspiracy is discovered ; one link is seized, a month has been employed in finding a second ; and if there are many others, years may be employed in tracing them all, in order to cut the Gordian knot with a single blow. The Minis ters only require time. Do not, however, refuse them the budget in the meantime. During the time which preceded the fall of the late Ministers, and the accession of the present, the confidants of the party whis pered, that since the close of the Session the revolution was on too:, and that the aerjeants of M. de 13elleyme bowed down before it. They were astonished at his inactivity ; for except two or three visits to the directing committee, not the smallest act ever came before the Correctional Police. What audacity ! '1 he old Ministry was then occupied in supplying the provinces th it were exposed to want from the last bad harvest, and were threatened with still greater want by a season that came in under unfavourable auspices. Order was preserved in the markets, and theatres most susceptible of agitation were in deep repose. Not a voice, not a gesture which recalled to mind our misfortunes, was heard, and there was calmness on the whole surface of France. But you are not aware, then, that the Ministers, occupied with these frivolous things, shut their eyes to the danger with which Mcnarchy was suddenly threatened. Happily their want of seal was supplied by the watchfulness which existed. Where do you think ?—at Bordeaux ?—at Lyons?—at Marseilles? No ;at Turin. Let it not be said that the Jesuits are good for nothing. What! ati..r the Ordinances of June; after the closing of St. Acheul and Montmorillon ; after the retreat of blontrouge, and the persecu tions of N. de Vatismenil from their head-quarters—they still watch over the ungrateful people, who wish, above all things. to re duce them to obedience to the laws of the country. They devined the danger, they signalised it—they offeted the means of stifling the number before itv will. This was six weeks ago, and St. Acheul is not yet re-opened. Do you expect that they will dis t over a second conspiracy, after having been so badly paid for the first? unlesv we are to consider the appointment of the Polignac it'.inistty as the reward agreed on for the first discovery. We have at Turin an Ambassador who knows France well • that is a rare thing in our diplomatic body. His removal , it is s aid, is :;needy proposed. When the internal machination was revealed to him, lie W 34 likely to shrug up his shoulders, and we are assured that a courier extraordinary brought the programme of the con spiracy to Paris at the beginning of August. But let us say a few words to the successors. The portfolios are, distributed, and the parts bound. They are called into a situation which had become too important for those whom they supersede. But what have they dime—these champions of Mo han:by—during the forty-three days they have been in power?— Nothing. %Vhete are those men who used such high language be fore, but who now know not what to do? Where is al. flour donnaye, with his rhodontontades at the Tribune, and pusillanimity hi action? He is one of those men who, after a defeat can recount to you how you ought to proceed, in order to gain the victory, but who have nut even the courage to fight.

This day dispatches were received at the Foreign-office in Downing-street, from their Excellencies Lord STultwr DE ROTHSA Y at Paris, and from Sir CHARLES BAGOTT at the Hague. The Flanders mail, which arrived this day, brings va rious and important intelligence. It is possible— according to the account from Frankfort—that an armistice may have been agreed to by Gen. DIEBITSCII, but it was in the camp lwfore Constantinople, if any where, that the Russian conqueror consented to sheathe the sword. The Bulgarians consider themselves already as a part and parcel of the great Noithern Auto cracy, and are hunting in couples with the Russian bloodhounds, to run down the remnant of their late fellow-subjects, who have not yet deserted the desperate cause of the SULTAN. On the other hand, Count PASKEWITSCII is extending Christianity in Asia by new triumphs. Admiral DE Ric; xy is going to sail immediately for the Levant, in the Conquirant, a line-of-battle ship, rather unfortu nately baptised for such an expedition; to be followed— as fast as possible—by a crmsiderable squadron from Toulon, consisting of another ship of the line, four large frigates, and two brigs. It is supposed that they are to fall in with a squadron from this country. How the Russians must laugh at us! We invite attention to the subjoined article from the Algemeine Zeitung; but the " unkindest cut of all" is given in an article from Munich, of the 14th September, which insults Eng land after this fashion: " The Gazette of Spires, of the Bth of September, contains the following article :—" We have this moment the following important news, which we aro assured is authentic. By a Convention concluded between the States on the hanks of the Rhine, the navigation of that river will be entirely free for those States ; the staple places will be suppressed, and also the Central Commis sion of Navigation at May ence ; and each State shall be at liberty to establish a free port, on the part of the Rhine subject to it. It is added that, by virtue of this Con vention, the free navigation of the Rhine will be ex tended to all the rivers flowing into it (the Maine, the Neckar, the Moselle, &c.). England not being one of the States on the Rhine, would (if the above is correct) be excluded from this right." ODESSA, Sm. 2. Captains of ships who have arrived here brought the news that Sumakoff Is in our possession,—tbat the Bulgarians have volun tarily offered to assist the Russians in looking after the enemy,— and that the Turks, who do not venture to engage with the Cos sacks, fly as soon as they get sight of them t—nay, that the Turkish regular troops fight with the Irregulars. A letter of a Russian officer inserted in our Journal, and dated from the bivouac be tween Bourgas and Adrianople, aays—o The Turks are dispersed, and we bare only to complain that they come to us unarmed, re questing us to give them protection (or cartes de 'urea) for them selves and their families. Our Cossacks have hardly even occasion to fire upon the enemy, who constantly offer to give up their arms and withdraw. For the Porte, the crisis is arrived,—the nation is decidedly tired of the Sultan." WA RSA W, SErr, 14. Accounts deserving of credit have been received from Moscow, of the taking of Trebisond by the army of Gen. Count P•skewitscb. Information has also been received here, that the corps of General Diebitsch is rapidly advancing towards Constantinople. FRANKFORT, Ssrr. 19. An Express has brought the prices of Stocks at Vienna ou the 13th, viz —llletalliques, 100 i; Bank Shares, 1,185 1,186. If we may believe private letters froniVienna, news had been re ceived there that a truce was concluded on the 50th of August, in the camp before Coutantenople, between General Diebitsch and the Reis Effendi,—•at the instance, and under the joint mediation of England, France, and Austria.—Frankfart rapers, Sept. 20. FRONTIERS OF GALICIA, S►rr. 5. The most judicious measures are taken by our Government to avert the danger arising from the contagious diseases iu the Princi palities ; and several battalions of infantry are said to be ordered from the Taropol and Padherzt to the frontiers. The progress of the Russian armies cannot cause more joy at St. Petersburg than is expressed at Warsaw,—where they hope to have the pl seeing the Emperor Nicholas again before the end of the year, and repeat also the publication of a Ukase for the Convocation of the Diet. Though the Turks nowhere make any serious resistance, and peace Is confidently expected, the military armaments in the interior of Russia, have been produced with redoubled activity, during the last fortnight, and a considerable number of recruits has been ordered. This measure gives to would-be politicians materials for all kinds of speculations; while the better-informed, con vinced of the pacific sentiments of the Russian Emperor, look upon it. as merely a precaution against unexpected events. The merchants on their part, do not, on this account, relax in their activity : busi ness, which was much increased since the introduction of a freer system of duties, is very brisk.—Algemeine Zeilung, Sept. 17. At a late hour this afternoon we received Berlin, St. Petersburgh, and Dutch Papers, from which we make the following brief selections. They do not convey any further intelligence from the seat of war ; they are chiefly composed of articles which belong to our fashionable in telligence, or to the head of accidents and offences : ST. PETERSBURG, Ave. S. A Supplement to the Journal de St. Petersburg contains a short preliminary account of the taking of Adrianople. Speaking of the conduct of the troops, the General says," Their good conduct and excellent discipline have, In general, pitted the entire confidence of the inhabitants, both Christian and Mahometan. The former •oluntarily take arms in defence of their homes and families ; and, in concert with our Cossacks, patrol In those directions where they learn that the remnant of the scattered Turkish troops collect. The latter having every thing to fear from their own soldiers, who are under no restraint, hasten to place themselves under our pro- tection as soon as st. e appear." BERLIN, Smr. 19. The Prussian State Gazette of this date contains no news from Turkey. THE HAGUE, Sm. Q. The official Gazette contains a long Ust of promotions in the army. We learn that the Prince of Orange is going to Ems, to visit the Grand Duke Constantine. One of the Journals of the Southern Provinces say, that the King of Prussia, and two of his sons, are expected at Brussels in the beginning of next month. The accounts from Guelderiand, North Brabant, and Flanders, . _ respecting the state of the rivers, are very unfavourable ; extensive tracts of country are under water. LEIPSIC, Sam 4. In the night of the 29th ult. the Count de Cain, French Am bassador at the Court of Hanover, on his way from Dresden to Leipsic, was suddenly stopped by a troop of students of our uni versity, who probably had been indulging in a neighbouring inn; they stopped the horses, broke the lamps, and ill-treated the postillions and servants of the Crown. They even opened the coach-doors, and were going to pull out the Ambassador's Lady, but were prevented on his threatening to fire. Several of them have since been arrested. AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 22.EXCHANOlt OP LONDON-. 12 30-2 M. 12 22 s.loth.—.Dutch Papas, Sept. 23. The meeting to promote the Reformation of the Church of England, which took place on Thursday last, in the Council Chamber of the City of Cork, is a sign that the spirit of change—we mean, wholesome change—is at last abroad, and is about to deal efficiently and radically with our diseased establishments. We do not regard so much what this meeting may produce in the way of im mediate accomplishment—or whether its laudable objects may be pressed triumphantly, or issue in frustration— as the example which has thus been given to the king dom of examining with the deliberate view to their cor rection, abuses which time and bigotry had rendered un approachably sacred, and barricadoed against the contin gency of removal, with the strong fences of popula:• superstition and prejudice. The v mt., however, has been " rent in twain," and we can now see to sweep away the defilements which had been left to accumulate in tile Temple. From several circumstances which will not fail to be remarked, as distinguishing this meeting—the aristo cratic rank of the assemblage, and their high Church and high Tory principles—and especially from the known politics and family connections of the Noble Chairman, it may be Inferred, without much liability to mistake, that Ministers are not wholly unparticipant in its con vocation. The blind rumours that our Protestant Church establishment was going to be meddled with, are at last traceable to some certain origin—and that origin nothing less than the Government. It is a work, however, re plete with delicacy, difficulty, and danger ; and one of which it is idle to entertain a hope of the consummation by a Ministry arrayed against popular feeling, destitute of popular confidence, unconstitutionally established, and unconstitutionally governing—for we are .govemed by the sword now, from the Premier down to the constable— and in every sense conspicuous for its opposition to public liberty at home, and incapacity to preserve, if not its readiness to sacrifice, on all occasions, the honour and interests of the kingdom in its relations with the Euro pean Powers. No, no: the Noble Duke and his colleagues have gone too far in the career of domestic force Sand foreign perfidy, to conciliate the country to their longer continuance in office by any slap-dash overhauling of the Protestant temporalities, however popular such overhauling may be. The Stygian monster will not bolt his second sop so quietly. We repeat, nevertheless, our conviction that this Meeting will be productive of that eventual regeneration, for which our corrupt national Hierarchy is so ripe in rottenness, from its mitred Princes—through all its intervening gradations —to the meanest political expectant who wears its livery. Too much praise cannot be given to Lord MouNTcasitte, for the fearless—and yet reverent hand—with which he has lifted the veil that concealed the features of clerical pride, cupidity, and ambition, and exposed to the public eye the hitherto hidden hideousness of the Protestant MOKANNA. The Standard of last evening commenced his foreign communications with an amusing solemnity : "As there are still doubts"—he said—" in the City, with re gard to the armistice between the Russians and the Turks, we communicate from a source of information which has never deceived us, the following infor mation." He then gives verbatim a five-shilling City report, which was rejected by oar Paper, as utterly unworthy of credit. We recommend him, in future, to sing smaller about his important intelligence, or to contrive to derive it from less questionable sources, than his and our " wise men in the East." PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, TUUDAY EVIVING. The advices received to-day from Vienna by express, announce that the conferences for peace between► Turkey and Russia had not produced a definitive result up to the 2d September, but that no doubt was entertained of the speedy and satisfactory termina tion of hostilities. The English squadron under Sir Pulteney Malcolm, had appeared off the Dardanelles on the morning of the 29th of August, and the French squadron was expected up from Smyrna. From the Nuremberg Correspondent, Sept. 17. BUCHAREST, Sam g. The accounts from Aidos bring nothing important from the seat of war in Rumelia. From the head-quarters of General Kra sowski, we learn that a Turkish courier, from Constantinople, was detained by the Russians before Shumla ; hut, upon examin ing his papers, he wu allowed to pass on. His dispatch, ad dressed to the Grand Vizier, was of a peaceful character. The state of health in our city is much better. FROM THE SERV lAN FRONTIERS, Sur. 6., The hopes of a near peace are become more general at Belgrade. It is confidently stated that the Pacha of Scutari has received a dispatch from the Grand Viskr, telling him that new negociation s of peace are opened, and commanding hint to abstain from hostili ties till further orders. As we are fully aware of the extrentitie compelling the Porte to peace, and of the moderation of the Em perot Nicholas, we do not doubt in the least of the happy result of those negotiation. ITALY. On the sth of September arrived at Ancona, from Corfu, the lonian ship the African, with dispatches for London. On the fol. lowing morning arrived the steam-packet Adam, from Zante, which has brought dispatches from the English Ambassador at Constantinople, for the Cabinet of St. James's, which, as the same Florence Paper assures us, must be of great importance. This same Florence Paper states, as from Argos 15th August, that the Greek National Assembly had concluded their labours— it confirmed the Acts of both the other Assemblies, and expressed its thanks to Count Capo d'lstrias, and an approbation of all his measures. Ile Parhellenion (the Council of State) is to be called for the future the Senate (Gerossia) : from a list of 65, 21 are to be chosen fur this Senate; and out of these 21, 6 are to be named by the President. George Sissini was the President of the Atbel3l - Gen. Zutzel has been appointed Commander-in-Chief of all the regular troops, and Col. Heydigger, lately departed, has re ceived the unanimous thanks of the Assembly, as well as the degree of a Greek General. GREECE--ARGOS, Auo. 18. The Pre4itl , nt has obtained the unanimous approbation of the Assembly fot all the Acts of his Government ; and as a proof of gratitude and confidence, his authority has been whinged, and even extended, a► follows : The President is empowered to treat with foreign Princes, con formably, however, to the regulations of the Assembly of Epi daura. One of the most remarkable clauses of these regulations is the liberty of Candia. The President presents excuse, for having thus prescribed to himself these limits. The fate of a nation is of too great importance to take upon one's self the whole responsi bility. Another motive, however, may be presumed—he endea, yours to support his own popularity by flattering the passions of the Greeks. Private correspondence of the Constitutionnel. It may be remembered that Bolivar has convoked a new Na tional Congress, which is to open on the Ist January, IMO, for the purpose of revising the Colombian Constitution. Its imperfection in several points now appears evident to the friends of order and stability. The members of this august Assembly are already elected. The choice of the province of Caraccas has fallen on men celebrated for their noble character and superior talents ; the two Generals Mendez and &len, 111. Pedro Gual, formerly secretary of State, and Dl. Armlet, a famous lawyer. If the fate of Cc lombia was only confided to such citizens, no fear could be enter tained front the result of their labours. They have expressed in a Manifesto, of which we subjoin an extract, their opinion on some of the principal articles that the new Constitution is to contain. Their sentiments are perfectly liberal on religion, the liberty of the Press, and the Representative Government. They are particularly desirous of giving full rigour to the Executive Power, and good laws to the commonwealth. They are all attached to Bolivar, and indeed so are all the most influential men of the republic, wbo feel and appreciate the numerous and generous sa• crifices he has constantly made to secure the independence of the country, and ground its happiness in the stability of its institutions, the four new representatives of the provence of Caraccas making the following profession of faith in the manifesto already alluded to. 1. Considering that the instability of our institutions arises from the weakness of our political constitution, and that several peculiar circumstances often require Government to be invested with extraordinary power, it is desirable that it should enjoy to its utmost extent that vigour and energy indispensable rot the preser vation of the constitution and laws of the Republic, as well as the representative form of government. 2. Considering that the short space of time allowed to the high Officers of State for the exercise of their functions has thrown much obscurity on the nature of the laws that are to be enacted, has been au obstacle to the establishment of uniformity in the general sys tem of legislation, and has prevented the public functionaries from attending to the improvement of useful regulations, it becomes requisite that the duration of their different charges should be pro longed. 3. Considering that the liberty of the Press is one of the strongest securities of a Representative Government, and that, in order to enjoy such a prerogative, it is necessary that the writers should snake it a duty to devote their talents to the defence and ameliora tion of the commonwealth, this same liberty must therefore be assured and acknowledged as a sacred right, but at the same time limited by law, to prevent it becoming a means of offence, or the instruments of party spirit. 4. To facilitate the emigration of foreigners into our country, so as to increase the population, and improve agriculture and com merce, measures must be adopted to encourage emigrants to establish themselves in Colombia, without having any thing to fear for the free exercise of their religion. 5. The revenues of Government will be under the responsibility of the Administration aloae, who is to provi4e for all the expenses of the nation without having recourse to taxes. 6. The security of persons and .property will be fully warranted, and any violation of the laws and the Con-thation will be severely punished. The two first propositions, which appear to be the wish of the majority of the nation, and especially of the richest and most dis tinguished citizens, have given birth to many conjectures. It is even thought that the new Congress will form an Empire of Ca lombla, and offer the Crown to Gen. Bolivar ; but under the spe cial condition of abJication unless he gov,rns according to the new constitution. This report does not appear to have much founda tion. However, as it has already spread through t►e United States. I have thought proper to inform you of it. The Journal do Commerce received this day, has an article dated Havanna, 9th of August, giving the moot deplorable account of the expedition against Mexico. It sets forth—what has been already very indistinctly stated—that the squadron had positively been dispersed by a violent tempest ; and that this expedition, which has cost the island no less than a million of dollars, and has deprived it of its best soldiers and naval forces, is now wandering, in the beginning of the Equinox, on these dangerous seas. The authorities at the Havanna bad also learned that one of the transports had been lucky enough to arrive at New Orleans ; and that another, with the brig of war L'Actif, have been seen by one of the foreign vessels now in port, at 25 miles from the Bay of Jordas. " It is really astonishing"—says the Havanna writer— " that till now not one of the vessels belonging to the ex pedition has returned to our port, or to any other of the island." He then proceeds to state that "it cannot be doubted that if the expedition of BARRADAS had disembarked on the enemy's coast, M. VI VES, our Captain-General, would have been obliged to send another expedition to support BARRADAS in his rash and inconsiderate undertaking,—for such was the plan agreed up ; and, in such a case, our island would be forced to make great sacrifices for the new armament; as the coffers of the Treasury are almost exhausted." The attempt of BARRADAS is now considered as hav ing entirely failed ; and consequently the idea of a se cond expedition is abandoned. The new police force were yesterday mustered for the first time in a yard adjoining to Old Palace-yard. PRESIDENT MUNROE.—The Jamaica Courant re marks, on a proposition made to the Legislature of Lou isiana, to vote 5,000 dollars to the late President of the United States, that, after 50 years service, Mr. Munroe has now no place to lay his head that he can call his own, and is in want of the common necessaries of life. ff
