T HE COMMISSIONERS for VICTUALLING his MAJESTY S NAVY, lc. do hereby give notice, SUBSCRIPTIONS for COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. all have spoken, and implored his protection. On this the Con anls-General of the Netherlands. Sweden, Denmark, and Sart;J ule, went to the person indicated as the receiver, and summoned bins in the name of Mr. Warrington, and on the ground of 31a hommed's declaration, instantly to deliver up Major Laing's papers. He answered haughtily, that the declaration was a tissue of calum nies ; and Mohammed, depending probably on a pretended invio lability, wholly disavowed it, and denied hi, own hand-writing. This palinode deceived nobody. The Pacha, in a rage, sent his own son, Sidi Ali, to Mobammsd, who, being threatened with being seized by the Chiaoux, retraced his retrectation, and con firmed, in a new declaration made in the presence of all the Con suls, that which he had made in the morning, before the Pacha and his principal officers. Now, the circumstances of this affair are clear, and we submit them to the attention of France and Europe. Our readers will easily guess what delicacy has obliged us to pass over in silence. One consolatory fact results from these afflicting details : the papers , .e Major Laing esist, and the learned world will rejoice; but in the name of humanity, in the name of science, in the name of the national honour compromised, perhaps, by shameful or criminal bargains, we must desire that justice may strike the guilty, who ever he may be.

After the dispersion of the Turkish corps at &Munn. and atter the army had taken only one diy's rest in .I.tnitml, the Commandei in Chief continued his operations with renewed activity, On the 4th (16th) August, the seventh corps of the army arrived by forced marches at Ilassenbell!, on the Tundscha, and the sixth and second corps, with the head-quarters, at Papaskivi. On the sth (17th) the seventh corps arrived at Kutschuk Derbent, and sixth and second, with the liesd-quarters, at Bujuk-Derhent. Notwithstanding the extraordinary heat of an uncommonly hog summer, of a narrow and rocky read, and of a country more diffi cult to pass than the Balkatt, our brave crimps bare, with admirable patience, the fatigue of the rapid march. The column of General Count Pablo) and General Rath did not arrive at Mink -Derb.m: till late in the night of the sth (17th') August. That on Tanner, the 22d of September next, they will be ready to receive Tenders in writing (sealed up) and treat for the supply to this Department of a quantity of Irish Salt Meat, equal to THIRTEEN THOUSAND NAVY TIERCES OF BEEF, and THIRTEEN THOUSAND NAVY TIERCES OF PORK, on &parate Tenders, all to be cured in the ensuing Season, to be delivered seven-eighth parts thereof in Tierces, and the re maining one-eighth part thereof in Barrels, into his Majesty's Victealling Stores at Deptford, Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Cork in such proportions as shall hereafter be agreed on, one-half thereof by the 28th day of February, and the other half on or before the Nit 4g of.

The Commander•in-Chief ordered the t!sl corps to encamp at a short distance from R-ki-Serai. The Regiment of Schlersselberg occupied a commanding eminence, to the top of this position, at the foot of which passes the great read from Bujuk Derbent to Adri-- tiople. The Gth corps was placed on the second line, the head-quarters established near Tschiflik on the Tuudscha, and the 7th corps forming the 34:1 line, encamped behind Tschiflik. All the three corps had their right lank on the Tundscha. The Cossacks of General Sehiroff took po'session or all the heights around Adrianople. The Regiment of Apia put out parties even to the road from Adrianople to Constantinople. The Commander-in-Chief, and Adjutant-General Count Toll. accompanied by their Stair, rode towards the place and reconnoitred the ground and the enemy's works, riding round the greater part of the city. The General immediately determined all the points of attack, and the movements which the columns were.to make at the dawn of day. Adrianople has 80,000 inhabitants, including about 40,000 Mus selmen—frorn ten to fifteen thousand of the lousy were rell armed. The Turkish corps, collected to defend the city, consisted of tell thousand regular infantry, eight hundred or one thousait cavalry, and some thousand men ha s tily a ssem bl e d f rom the neiltsbouridgi districts. • THE GENUINE SYRUP OF DE VELNOS. The Depot for this useful Alterative is No. 52, Berner.- street, Oxford-street, where it is prepared according to the recipe of the late Mr. Swainsou, entrusted to his niece and successor, Mrs. Canham, alone. Among an the medicines of this denomina tion the VEGETABLE SYRUP of DE VELNOS has ob tained a distinction which its efficacy alone can support. It cor rects, purifies, and sweetens the blood; and those who are afflicted with diseased liver, scrofula, leprosy, scurvy, scorbutic eruptions, and many of those melancholy diseases arising from impurity of the blood and juices; those who suffer from the dis sipations and indiscretions of their youth, or whose constitutions are broken down and debilitated by mercurial, artimonial, or arsenic medicines, should submit to a regular course of the Vege table Syrup. The effect of this medicine, principally on the insen sible perspiration, Is such as not to interrupt either business or plea sure ; it operates on the animal juices, and requires only the com mon restraints of moderation in diet. It is dissolved in the chyle of the stomach, is conveyed by the circulating fluids, and co rrects their tendencies to all those diseases which originate in vitiated blood. It is a safe,though a powertul substitute for mercury, and removes those evils which an unsuccessful use of that mineral occa sions.—The Syrup is prepared and sold at the Proprietor's house, No. 52, Berners-street 0 .ford -street, at 131. a bottle ; and, by her appointment, at Mr. !Lairs's, 196, 13ishopsgate Without; and by Mrs. Canham's Agents in every considerable town of the United Kingdom ; and the concentrated for warm climates, by her de puted Agents in the East Indies, viz.—Messrs.

Letters received by Greek merchants at Belgrade announce that the Russians took possession, at the end of last month, of Rodostl, on the sea of 111armora, and found there a great quantity of ammu nition and provisions. This place is known to be the principal port on the sea of Marmora, and is only a few marches distant from the old Castle of the Dardanelles, on the European side. The same letters speak of a deputation sent by the Divan to General Die bitscb, to induce him to suspend hostilities, by representing to him the dangers to which the capital would be exposed. The Ge neral is said to have answered, that it depended upon the Porte to stop the effusion of blood, and to save the capital : that the de claration made by the Emperor at the commencement of the war was known to the whole world ; and that it positively stated, that the sending of Turkish Commissioners to the Russian camp would not suspend the military operations till a anal arrangement should have been concluded—and that he would not sheath the sword till he had obtained complete satisfaction for the injuries sustained by the Russian nation.

Nam, Serr.l7.—The notice given by the Chamber of Co in 'nierce at Marseilles, and published in our yesterday's number, might perhaps cause it to be feared that a rupture would take p 1 we with that l'uwer, and we therefore think it our duty to give some explanation calculated to make the merchants easy on the subject. It was known some days ago, that Baron Rousseau, his Ma jesty's Consul-General and Charge d'Affaires at Tripoli, had taken down his flag, in consequence of very serious disputes between the Pacha and him relative to the papers of Major Laing. If we may give credit to the private information which we have received, Baron Rousseau is implicated in this affair. The misunderstanding between the Consul and the Paella having no other cause than the private conduct of the former, we have not thought it necessary to acquaint the public till certain documents, which are promised very shortly, should have reached us. We believe that the merchants have no reason to fear a rupture with Tripoli, because the French Government has not been insulted in the person of its Consul ; and what tends to confirm our opinion is, that the Pacha has repeatedly declared to M. Rousseau that he was going to write himself to the French Government, to assure it of his friendship and deference ; that if the Consul went away, be should, notwithstanding, consi der himself at peace with France, and that all the subjects of that nation residing at Tripoli should be the object of his special pro tection. As soon as the official documents, which we expect, have reached us, we shall immediately make them public. Here follows, under the head of News from Tripoli, a long article extracted from the Senaphore, of Marseilles, the sub stance of which is, that in consequence of the researches made by Mr. Warrington, the English Consul, and father-in-law of Major Laing, there was reason to believe that the papers of the Major had been brought to Tripoli by some people of Ghadames, and that a Turk, named Hassouna-llghies, received then in a mysterious manner. • Mr. Warrington having so tar proceeded that the truth was at length on the point of being discovered, Hassouna not daring to wait for the result, took refuge with Mr. Coxe, the American Consul. The Pacha signified to Mr. Cale, that he acknowledged the inviolability of the asylum granted to the Turk, but that as his evidence was necessary in the investigation of the assassination of Alajor Laing, he begged him not to favour his flight. Mr. Warrington wrote in the same man ner to his colleague. However Hassouna left Tripoli in the night of :he 9th of August, disguised as, it is said, an American officer, and took refuge on board the American corvette Fairfield, Capt. Parker, then in the road of Tripoli, and which weighed anchor on the 10th of August, in the morning. The Pacha. enraged at the escape of blassouna, sent for his brother Mahonimed,who ou being threatened confessed in writing, and upon oath, that Hassouna his brother had had the bilijori papers in his possession, but had given them up to a person whom we shall not name, for deduction of 40 per cent. on the debts which he had contracted in France, and of which the latter was code:mooring to obtain payment. 111ohantmed's de claration, Which fills three pages, contains valuable and numerous particulars respecting the Major's papers. However, when be left the palace, fearing that the Pacha might punish him instead of his brother, he went to take refuge with the person of whom Front the Journal des Debats of Thur..d iy. PARIS, Sm. 17. No reasoning can prevent the present epoch from being one of political decay for England. No sophism can restore to her that power over Europe which she has voluntarily alienated. This may arise, perhaps, from the ambition of Russia—from the weakness of the Ottoman Empire—from the lethargy of Austria, and the in difference of Prussia. The cause, however, is of no consequence; but it is certain that in 1827, the expression was, if " England pleases," while, in 1829, it is every where said, whether '+ England likes it or not, is of no consequence." In order to judge correctly of a present circumstance, we must sometimes remember the past and look to the futur e . Let us sup pose, therefore, that Sir J. Mackintosh, Mr. Brougham, Lord Hol land, or Lord Lansdown, had stated two years ago, as a rhetorical figure, that the giant of the North would press in a short time the capital of the Ottoman empire both in Europe and Asia ; that the ports on the south of the Euxine would receive Russian garrisons, while the Cossacks were threatening the castles at the Dardanelles, the Members of the Opposition themselves would have found the assertion a little too strong, and the Ministerial orators would have replied by a haughty appeal to British dignity, to the influence of Britain abroad, and to all those common-places about national power and honour, with which the good easy people are every where so readily satisfied. But all these things have happened, and perhaps only the half of the events which are preparing are yet known to us. What then has changed in England? Nothing, except the language. The Russian Colossus is nothing more than a mild and mode rate Prince, who takes up arms to lay theta down at the first summons, by those who wished his expedition to sail, in the most exemplary manner. He is a conqueror who invades only to restore—who is only going to Constantinople to convince his enemy of his own weakness, and consequently inform him of the means by which he may re-assume his old rivalry. We shall not be surprised, should it be stated at London that Mali mood was to be indemnified for the sacrifices his resistance has cost him. The Emperor of Russia has visited the straight where the trade of his most fertile province is exposed to even renewed out rages, and sometimes threatened with complete interruption—and he is to return without insuring his commercial marine that de velopment to which it has a right, and without which it cannot exist. Who knows that Mahmoud will not demand from bins the cession of Sebastopol and Odessa? In fact, it is to amuse one's self with Russia to expect to catch her in such a net. What! when you doubted her success—when you wished to see pestilence and famine in her camps, and her ves sels exposed to hurricanes; then you had, in speaking of her Sove reign, no other words in your mouth than ambition—spirit of con quest—and invasion ; and now, when you see, with your arms folded, at London and Vienna, that his forces are majestically sur rounding the gates of the Turkish capital, you are at his feet trem bling, like the Turks, from apprehension, and calling on hint to have compassion on the balance of power in Europe, as they call on him to suspend hostilities. A pleasant hope! and if the Duke of Wellington has no other illusion to offer to England, I can readily believe, as has already been said, that he begins to find business troublesome. It was not for this that he was called to the head of his Sovereign's Council., and this was not the first use he promised to himself to make of the pacification of Ireland. But even the results of this great measure ate becomes matter of contest. In Ireland the people talk of no thing but a mere important independence. It is recollected that Dublin once had its Parliament, and it is known that at present the population of Ireland is seven millions. You may imagine the Duke of Wellington pressed in Parlia ment, by the consistent adversaries of Catholic Emancipation, as to the consequences of a measure which they energetically opposed, pressed also on the measures of their exterior policy by those who are the true defenders of the English preponderance in the business of Europe ; we may imagine we see M Iruoud, with Diebitsch in front of him, and Paskewitsch in his rear, Europe and Asia fall at the same time. The . 1 urka demand of the Sultan what he has done with the Standard of the Prophet? England will also demand of the Duke of Wellington to render an account of the honour of the English Hag. Will this be the end of his career ? PROVIDENCt sports some. times very strangely with human combinations. For us, at least, we have a Ministry from whom we exact less. Occupied as we are in savii , g our institutions from the rucks on which they have been driven by imprudent habits, we must brit have France free at home before requiring for her glory abroad.— Moreover the national honour is, seriously, in the bands of Al. de Bounnorit! How can it be imagined that he c.n be called upon to give an account of it? Subvert the Ottoman Empire, then—strew two parts of the world with its ruins ; make Greece free and powerful, or slavish and tributary ; rejoice at Petershurgh—weep at Vienna ; threaten at London ; pull down and build up Europe as you please. Three men have promised you the nullity of France, and have relied, for that purpose, e:n your hatred and fear of them.

The most in lifferent cannot sec without sorrow the abyss, on the borders of which the Ministers have dragged France in less th .n six weeks. There are sortie fundamental questions that ought never to be agitated under a regular Governmenr,hut these terrible ques tions are all _low agitated at once. We are again thrown on the burning ashes which it was supposed were for ever extinguished, and which power is imprudently re-kindling at the risk of a vast con flagration. France, which was tranquilly reposing under the pro tection of the Charter, is eagerly putting its frontiers in a posture of defence against an invading Ministry. She opens her arsenals, and draws forth those formidable arms she would have willingly allowed to rust. Two months ago it was asked, shall we have vest Session a municipal and departmental law? Will the Chamber at length occupy itself with our roads and canals? What measures will it take to relieve the wine growers? Peaceful questions, infallible signs of the return of peace and good order. Now the question every where asked is, what are the Ministry plotting against the Charter? Which of the articles will they preserve, which will they suppress? Will they end:arour to do without the Chambers, or, which is the same thing, will they. by sonic coup (Caw, after their composition?

The Illusion which so many centuries of security had excited was so great, that many, even of the Commanders, doubted the possibility of seeing the Russian army at the gates of their ancient capital. The rapidity of our marches of 30 to 35 wcrsta daily, and our sudden appearance before the place bad almost the effect of et:- chantment on the Pada" the Turkish troops, sod the inhabitants. Three great roads were still open for their retreat, but the idea of eight did not even occur to them. The Commander-in-Chief had - not yet returned from reconoiter ing when the deputies of the Seraskier, Kotil Pacha and Ibrahim Pacha (both of 5 tail.), of the Governor of Adrianople, %Vadzhik Mabumed Pacha, and of Schenk Ali Pacha (of two tails), with the deputies of the chief inhabitants of the city, had arrived at the Russian advanced posts to propose a capitulation. The Com mander-in-Chief signified to them through the Counsellor of State. M. Fonton, that they must deliver up their arms, artillery, stand ard., provisions, and ammunition—in a word, every thing belong ing to the Ottoman Government; that on these conditions lie would allow the Pachas and their troops to return to their home,, provided they did riot take the road to Constantinople. The irre gular troops and the inhabitants were also requited to lay down their arms, to remain in Adrianople, and continue to follow their trade and all lawful and pacific business, under the protection of the lives and the existing Courts of Justice. M. Fonton was fur ther instructed to declare to the Deputies, that the General in Chief gave them fourteen hours to accept or refuse these terms , that the army would move at day-break ; that each column would proceed to the point of attack assigned to it; and that on the .'Otis August, at nine o'clock in the morning, the city would be stormed, if the terms were lint accepted by the Generals and the Local Authorities of Adrianople. The next morning (20th) the army formed in two columns, anti left its camp at five o'clock. Tke right column, composed of the corps of Generals Roth and Pahicn, marched directly against the centre of the place. The Commander-in-Chief led it in person, and placed it so that it cou:d attack at several points at once. The left column, consisting of the 2d division of Hussars, and the td of Hulans, with a numerous division of Horse Artillery, marched through Ornaut Kini towards the roads leading to Kirk Kilissa and Constantinople, in order to cut off the enemy from all modes of retreat to the Bosphorus. This column was commande.l by General Toll, Chia of the Staff. 'llse 7th Corps, under Gen.
