. Geite s ral Bich will sat isfy the interest bet epreesnts. first of i J s the execution of th e Treaty if Ammon. That the ic semis this treaty may be adopted as the beds, ma ceived ; but that is the lindt, for every th ing Is it m uck was signed; and that which Russia then timidl y is beneath what she now possesses, and has a Nightie preserve. Tbe second demand is that the navigation of die Black Sea shall be free botb for merchant vessels and men-of-war. If this concession depend on the Sul t an, it will be incomplete or illusory. Either be will remain powerful enough to observe or infringe it, according to his caprice; or his power will be so weakened that be will be incapable of infringing it, if be should have the desire. In the former case, the concession would be in complete. and the Reidansmlght be prevented from enjoying it by the will which has already frequently deprived them of it ; in the second, it might become illusory, if the Salt= were not really mallet in his own territories, and if other Pow were to. ers the at war with Russia, in alliance with him , or a g ainst his will, seise Dardanelles, and thus block up against the Russians the only outlet for their produce. The third demand it for an indemnity of the war, which is too large for a State reduced to extremity, and too small compared to the sacrifices it is to compensate: Moreover, it is difficult to con ceive how the Sultan can pay it. The fourth demand is for a remuneration for the losses of the Russian merchants, which is of trilling interest. The fifth condition requires the demolition of the fortresses of Giurgewo and tirades. The strength of these places depends more on the courage of the Mustielmans than the nature of their defences. But why this choice when so many other points may. at a small expellee in the Turkish way, supply the loss of these two places? Their demolition would not change the nature of the country. The sixth condition has relation to the cession of some fortresses on the side of Caucasus. The surrender of these places is Ronda will be more hostile to England than fatal to the Sultan. The seventh condition guarantees a new form of Government for Moldavia and Wallachia. These, however, are the pretended conditions imposed by that power which is able to exact every thing. Is it however, to be supposed that, at the moment when the object o f hundred year.' efforts is on the eve of being attained, Russia will content herself with concessions which she would have been entitled to demand before the Balkan was passed? We can conceive that negotiations on these bases whave been opened, but we believe that the object of them Is ly to preserve the capital of Islamism from complete destruction. If Fortune seconds the prudence of the skilful Diebitscb, he may hope to enter in triumph a city which is still standing. He will then treat seriously, and the conditions of peace will be such as events shall make them. From the Quotidienne of Friday. " THE TWO NATIONS." PARIS. Oceans 2. The moment M. de la Fayette had superseded, en the 12th of July, the cry of" Vive le Roi !" by that of " Vive la Nation !" the Revoludon was accomplished ; the taking of the Bastille was only the demolition of an old fortress; it was the victors of a few hundreds Of bare-foot rabble over a score of invalids. That event was of no importance to the hero of the insurrection--the tiresult alone interested him • he left the Presi tional Assembly to come to Paris to exchange the dency colourof the of Ad Na e. lity for the colour of revolt. The white cockade was no longer that of the nation ; La Fayette substituted for it the tri-celeured one. He separated other people from their Kin; ; and while Delaunay was massacred crying " Vice le Rol !" La Fayette cried " Vive la Nation !" From that moment there were two nations in France, the royalist and the revolutionary; that of die King and of La Fayette. The nation of the King was compared dell the friends of order, morality, and liberty, wisely understood. That of M. de la Fayette was composed of all persons without employment, and of the rabble of the farbourgs, and the deserters from the army. They, however, called themselves Tbe Nation," because that was the mode of separating themselves from the King, and the re ; volutionists now talk in the name of their nation, and wish that the Ministers of the King should be the Ministers of the Nation. They hold up La Fayette to try to find some spark of the revo lutionary fire. They would wish to convince France that the King and the Nation ought to be separated. It is in presence of such attempts, and with the recent recollection of the evils caused by this fatal distinction, that we feel the force and justice of that remark of Louis XIV., of the King who best understood the dig nity of royalty and the interests of the nation—" The State, that is I."

Such is the heading of, at the best, a most ambiguous article, with 4thich we have been just furnished by our City Correspondent. It is stated that the treaty has been already provisionally ratified at Adrianople ; that it was signed, in fact, on the 14th of September, in that capital: but in the absence of positive official confirmation, we must qualify our credence with some grains of scruple. Not that we think it improbable, because—when the knife of the strong party is at its throat—what else can a subjected people do ? But that the conclusion of peace on the part of Russia with Turkey can avert a general con flict and collision in Europe, this is what we cannot Incline to believe. The conditions imposed by Russia are now stated to be any thing but moderate. The Gazette de France, announcing the receipt of letters from Constantinople, dated the 10th ultimo, says decidedly that the" Sultan had accepted the propositions of the Russians, but, that the terms were a good deal harder than it was expected they would have been. Such is the stator guo : bid we cannot be long without official elucidations. Meantime, the rise of certain se , • 'es in the city, would more than intimate that the Exchange is endeavouring to practise, by these s, upon the ready credulity of the public. mortiing the usiii77 — ispatches by the French were received at the Foreign Office, from his Excel- Lord ST UA RT DE RO VIIBAY, our Minister atParis. .. • curities i ' p 1 Stock E .1 . rs e t. rumou This bag wer lency 1.4 GOA TUTE REFUGEES FROM PORTUGAL. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, with that noble generosity DU long his known characteristic, has enclosed a cheque for £lOO to the Times newspaper, who had so eloquently pleaded their cause, to be applied to the relief of these destitute beings ; and it is to be hoped that the muni ficent example of the Hon. Baronet will rouse many to like acts of beneficence. There is an understanding that the virtuous and distinguished patriot, General TORRI.IO6, will charge himself with the application of whatever sums may be charitably contributed by a feeling public, to the wants of his unfortunate countrymen. " But in the meantime"—we quote the words of our contemporary— " no notice seems to have been bestowed on our suppli (salon relative to nightly shelter; or on that which we indirectly addressed to official persons, that these worn out men might have leave to rest their bones on the pave ment of an empty and useless barrack. They have now no places to die in, but ditches or streets." We have received the first number of a new periodical, entitled the London University Magazine. It professes to be the work exclusively of Students at the London University, and it bears a sufficient internal evidence that it is the production of young minds. When we say this, it is not with any intention to disparage; on the con trary, there is a charm in the freshness of unhacknied intellect, which more than compensates for all its want of experience. That quality superadds itself slowly— but hourly-Las time advances, and chastises while it informs the heart with many a sad revelation, enlarging its sphere of knowledge but to disenchant its dreams of happiness. Feliz—b Mohan fellz—sus si bons nark, Vital is bilis nondim maga intrados! " A young head, and what is better still—a young heart," is the attractive and appropriate title of the first paper in this magazine. It opens with a brief and con densed review of the present state of periodical literature and criticism, as contrasted with the " ill-arranged and trashy miscellanies" which constituted the floating stock of periodicity less than fifty years ago : and after chew ing that there is ample scope for a magazine conducted upon principles in some respects essentially novel, it finishes with an enumeration of the peculiarities, which combine to justify the suffrages to which the new publica tion aspires. The description of the first appearance of the Edinburgh Review, in this article, is particularly good ; but we cannot afford any room for extract, as there are other papers which we desire to mention. Pre-eminent among these—as a very talented, though infelicitous composition--is the essay "ON A GENERAL JV DO M ENT. " It is a subject utterly unfit for young pens to meddle with, and in the present instance the temerity and presumption with which it is handled, exceed the dialectical quackery in which it is clothed. Metaphysics do not belong to boys, even apart from such overwhelm ing matters ; but in conjunction with them, Ihiy serve' only to make mystery more mysterious. In making these cursory remarks, it is not our purpose to contravene the many false positions and absurd arrogation with which the paper under discussion abounds : but rather to show our disapprobation of the tendency of such writings altogether, since they can promote no conceivable object in society, at the same time that they argue s disposi tion to unprofitable--and therefore inexpedient--specu lations. We should reproach ourselves with great severity, if we spared to speak out on this first occasion, and thus encouraged—by our apparent acquiesence— dissertations so reprehensible and vain. There is, more over, as we conceive, a specific and peculiar impropriety— independent of the foregoing considerations —in discuss ing such a question in the particular Magazine before us. The charge of irreligious principle, calumniously brought against the London University in the first in fancy of that establishment, and urged with so much pertinacity during its progress to consolidation, seems to be thus corroborated in the very commencement of its career, and by a knot of its own disciples. We would not readily believe that it is intended to pursue this line of writing; that it is a part of a system to popularise infidelity : the essay is announced for conclusion in the forthcoming number, and we trust that there such specu lations will be allowed to rest. If they be continued, it will be evidence of an inherent depravity in these young gentlemen, against which—as we value the good order and happiness of society—we shall feel it incumbent to set our face. Their opinions are as free as ours :on these we would impose no restrictions ; for the sake of these, we would countenance no exclusions. In a word, as they say themselves — Vet Tros, vet Tyrius—nulio &salmi= sptur. But we do not think that a man possesses the same moral right to disseminate—as he does toforni—credences subversive of political order, scarcely less frightfully than of human hope. We do not talk of his civil privilege—his prerogative rather—to speak boldly as he feels: but a just and reflecting mind would be careful at least to run no risk of disorganisation, in his attempt to modify—or overturn—the long established acquiescence' of men. But we have said already more than sufficient. It now only remains to speak our approval, generally, of the spirit and talent with which this new pretender to public patronage is conducted : and to hope that one example especially, which it is honourable to our young friends that they have been the first to show, among the popular magazines—that of exhibiting scientific matters in a TABULAR FORM-Will BOOR come into a general adoption. In the Paper entitled, " A Tale of the Irish Rebellion," there are some very characteristic sketches ; and the poem of the " Guerilla Bride" con tains many touches true to Nature and its sublimest sym pathies. It has, also, some cumbrous overloadings, in terspersed here and there with faulty rhythm and unal lowable rhyme : but, as a magazine article, it would be invidious to particularize these. Another interesting paper is the " Description of the University of London;" and from this, though we set out with a determination to make no extracts, we nevertheless cannot refuse to copy the very sensible concluding passage :- 0 , We are informed that King's College has obtained a charter. At this we rejoice because, by the foundation of a wend Usher* sity, knowledge to a greater extent must be diffused, and education consequently promoted. The cause of learning, and of science, Is the cause of all, who tightly know bow to appreciate their value. Why then, we ask, are there restrictions upon talent? Why, slurs cast upon learning? Talk of injury to established institu tions all a farce. Is the learning of caw man dimisdshed by the science of his neighbour If so, our University must speedily be the most ignorant In the universe, for there all the sciences are congregated. The University of London can grant no degrees; but, its heneserof unvaduated students will doubtless take a rank in public estimation, which the more favoured sons of the Cam and the Isis may perhaps wish for in vain, for, a sense of eensissel inferiority must spar them on to exertions which would not other wise have entered into their conceptioo. The antiquity and repu tation of our ancient Seminaries will draw many to graduate there. At present, a man's name must be some years upon the books, before he can be admitted even to matriculate. This shows a greater demand than supply. The mere taking away the redundant sur plus, therefore, can do no injury to those who are not able to sake use of it. The same set of men , who would prefer Oxford WI Cambridge, will still frequent those haunts of learning $ but why give them a monopoly even of titular honour? The early years of the Hanoverian succession to the throne of this country, taught Englishmen the blessings of monopoly. which odious system was fortunately checked by the simple query put in the House of Com mons, to the Ministers of the day, " whether they would not next grant a monopoly of bread?" If then a monopoly of food for the body was considered so dreadful, how much more to be dreaded is a monopoly of food for the mind! A better andslose beneficial policy now influences affairs of state : why should it not extend to the mental aliment of those who constitute the nation? " Real knowledge never promoted either turbulence or susbelief, but its progress is the forerunner of liberality and enlightened toleration Whoso dreads these, let him tremble, for be may be well assured that their day has at length come, and must put to sudden flight the evil spirits of tyranny and persecution." If, then, the fetters of King's College are unlocked, .urely die mother may look for the same honours as are wreathed around her daughter's brow." It was not known at Vienna on the 23d ult. preliminaries of peace, between the Russians and Turks, had been signed at Adrianople, on the 14th, as is this morning stated by the Times. We have this day Ham burgh and German Papers to the 29th September—both profoundly ignorant on the subject. From Hamburgh we are told that " the Russian Government do not intend to insist, very rigorously" for payment of the enormous indemnity; " but to accept, in lieu thereof, the cession of two fortresses!" That the Russians would be con tent with such a trifle, seems the most incredible story that ever was invented. The following are our selections from these Papers to-day : STOCKHOLM, Surname 16.

It was geoerally believed that the treaty of peace. the conclusion of whichneemed indisputable, vrould be blown here by the 91141; but up to this day, at noon, nothing official has bees received. It is known that General Diebitsch intended to lens Adrianople on the 10th, and Gene ale army on the rood to Constantinople; and ibis thought that the removal of the Russian head-quarters may ave caused some delay in for warding the dispatches from Coastantinople. However, the ordi nary Turkey mail Is expected every hour; and, though it is only of the 10th instant, it may bring very important news. The last mail from Scullin, of 13th instant, brought word that a corps of Tarklsh cavalry, which had marched from Macedonia towards Sophia, had disbanded itself, and committed great excesses.

Letters from Ascoas say that the English garrison in the lonian islands, the usual three years for whose service is nearly expired—will not return to England, but be reinforced by fresh swaps.

Anin. August 19. Since my last to you on the 16th instant, nothing new has occurred here of particular note. The Squadron left behind only a brig and schooner to continue the blockade, which vessels remain in sight. This island is, from day to day, assuming the best possible state of defence, against any attack that may be again attempted. The damage the Squadron sustained cannot be well ascertained, as the sea is continually washing ashore dead bodies, some in coffins. In the City this a ft ernoon, l it was reported that the Turks are only to pay to the Russians three millions sterling, in ten instalments ; and until the above sum is paid, Wallachia and Moldavia are to be retained by the Russians, after which they are to be independent Go vernments. Some doubt still prevails in the City as to the signing of the peace between Russia and the Porte ; but," says our Correspondent, " from the various quarters the news has been received, it may be looked on as official : first, it was received late on Saturday night ; express from Paris this morning; and from Vienna and Frankfort." The Gazette of Frankfort, of the 30th September, says, " A courier, who passed through this town to-day, has brought the news that peace was signed at Adrianople on the 14th inst. between the Russians and Turks. We ex pect every hour the account of the terms." THE PORT Or MARTINICO.--CAPTAIN UNAPP, ar rived at Newling Port, states that the Port of Maraud Bay, between Fort Royal and Trinity, was opened by order from the present Government, on the 6th July, for free admission of all descriptions of imports. Accounts from Porto Cabello state that a Colombian ship of war, of 64 guns, was soon to be sent to Spain on some mission of the Government. Accounts from the Havannah, of the 22d August, state that two more failures had taken place there, one for 94,000, and the other for 75,000 dollars. This makes the number at least from forty to fifty, who have stopped payment within six weeks. Letters from Vera Cruz, via New Orleans, of the 31st July, state that the embargo had been taken off, and all the vessels allowed to depart. The Boston Courier says, that the importation of seven millions of dollars worth of silks, paying a duty of twenty per cent. is a beautiful commentary upon the downfall of all the American trade, and the shackles upon their com- merce. Letters from Lisbon state, that that capital has the appearance of a conquered city. The troops are still in the Caserne. The Military Police has been doubled, and the Miguelite volunteers of the Duke Caduval are on duty night and day. No person can leave his house after nine o'clock in the night. Accounts from Toulon, of the 24th Sept., state that information was received at Marseilles, of a recent date from Smyrna, that Admiral ROSAMEL was before Con stantinople with the Trident, three frigates, and four brigs. for the security of the Europems, as well, in case of danger, to receive the sultan, in junction with the English, whose squadron was also before the above capital. The unnatural Paper, which it is disgraceful to name among journals, has returned this week to his illiberal advocacies, with an unusual augmentation of virulence. NiAit, fern, intactum religuit ; nihi l g ue tetigit, guod non fcedavit. The slave—the hypocrite—the he-prostitute, stands out in more shameless prominence than ever : he announces the near recognition of the wretch who pays bim, and perhaps believing it, fancies that he may quite lay aside the mask. He dub s the emissary ASSECA with the anticipated adjunct of " Excellency," and he denies— though he knows that be brought over one diamond or nament alone, which exceeded two thousand pounds in value—that the Miguelite partisan, PEREIDA, was charged with any presents to the Duke of WELLING TON. These diamonds may, or may not be, for the Noble Duke- --or for a Noble Viscount connected equally with our Government, and that of the usurping faction in Portugal—or they may be slight testimonials of the gra titude of Don MIGUEL, to be divided share and share alike by the Noble Duke, and the Noble Earl at the head of our Foreign Affairs; to whose joint policy the ' despot owes it that he even keeps his head upon his shoul ders—so detested is lie by the nation, which —through their aid—he oppresses. We are acquainted, however, with a person to whom this very PEREIRA showed the diamonds: it is unimportant which Minister they are for. The article in this unmentionable Paper, on the subject of the Spanish exiles just landed in his country from the dungeons of Don MIGUEL, is in harmony with Si r S the rest : and he spits the slaver of his malignity at F RANCIS BURDETT, for no other cause than his charity towards the starving victims of the persecutions which he is blibed to defend. It is, however, satisfactory to know that the public abhorrence is telling with great effect upon his circulation.
