With PAs- K rwiTscit on one side of his empire, and DIEBITSCII on the other—both devastating, and both bearing upon the capital—it is impossible for the SULTAN to make a stand. He is not only abandoned by*those, whom he counted upon as effective auxiliaries in the contingency of t he actual crisis, but a panic has also disorganised his own population, and scatters them like sheep before the inva ders. Constantinople—it may be safely affirmed—cannot at this hour belong to MA lIMOU D: only whether he has perished in defending it, or escaped a fugitive into Asiatic fistnesses, we shall know by the next arrivals. The de termination of the people in the capital—a determination which the SULTAN would fear to brave—favours the former hypothesis. Our Ministers are cutting a pretty , ti!zure! There is talk of an immediate Parliament. From an article which we read lately in one of the Plymouth Journals, we perceive that a very deserving Naval Officer has been dismissed from his MAJESTY'S service, through the influence or representations of the tyrannical Usurper MIGUEL. We do not pretend, as vet, to be acquainted with all the circumstances of this extraordinary dismissal ; but we know that a more gallant and meritorious Officer than Lieutenant Jos Es does not exist in the KING'S navy, and that the zeal and ability with which he has not ceased to discharge his duty through a long period of service, have created for him a correspondent interest in the public mind. We know, too, that the Government of the Noble Earl has carried its Miguelite partialities far ; but we are not yet prepared to see the servants of the country cashiered from its employ, and deprived of their honour able rank as well as just emoluments, at the instigation of a rascal outlaw. That the Board of Admiralty should have taken this extreme step, without re presentation officially made, is a thing itnpossi ble ; and that this representation, whatever it was, originated in the same quarter, and travelled through the same channels as the celebrated letter of denegation concerning the Lonach outrage—which after all recoiled with infamy upon its own authors—is most fair to imagine : for it is plain, now, how these cases are got up. We have adverted often to the under hand dealings of the Foreign Secretary with his friend ASSECA, and the dismissal on which we are now commenting is, no doubt, an emanation from one of these transactions: indeed, if the Noble Earl's conduct should he subjected hereafter—as it ought to be—to a Parliamentary investigation, we shrewdly sus pect that more cause of impeachment would be found against the Noble Earl, than there would for suspending or depriving the King's Officers, to gratify the animosity of such a wretch as MIGUEL. It is time that Lord ABERDEEN should cease to vaunt that he can order things as he pleases in Lisbon, when such influence can be obtained only by his derogatory connexion with conspirators there, against the acknowledged and right foil Heiress of the Kingdom. No; this is carrying matters too far. Hitherto, the Noble Earl had confined —as to their proper sphere—his intrigues and ma namvres, generally within the precincts of his own department; but now he has passed beyond his bounds, and it is no longer Consuls without the means of justi fication whom the Noble Earl attacks, but officers of his Majesty's navy, who have a right to demand a Court martial upon their conduct: and when Lieutenant Jos ES shall do this, he will not want the sympathy and sup port of his countrymen, nor a friend in this Journal to sustain him in his righteous requisition. It is not our design, nor is it our desire, to prejudge this case ; but in so far as it has transpired before the public, e do not hesitate to say, that if Lieutenant JONES should call for an inquiry, the issue must be triumphant for him. Carrying money on freight is coeval with the navy itself; it is one of the employments which gives occupation to his Majesty's ships, equally in peace and war ; and the freight so carried belongs in part to the Admiral of the station—partly to Greenwich Hospital-•- and the remainder to the Commander of the vessel for his trouble and responsibility. It is objected against Lieu tenant JONES, that he represented the money as his own : but who can call in question the propriety of this course, after he had signed a bill of lading for the property, and rendered by . this act his personal and private fortune amenable for the full remount? For money is received on ship-board, not as a bale of merchandize, where the master of the vessel signs to the package, contents unknown ; but the person re ceiving such money is both obliged to take charge of it, and deliver it according to the quantity—and not by the specific bale or package—entnu►ted to him. To steal from a bale of goods is the awful crime of barratry : but a Captain receiving money can only be sued at law for the quantity received by him, and for which he has—by his signature—made himself responsible. It is clear, therefore, that from the moment Lieutenant JON Es received the property in ques tion, it was incontestably his, to dispose of it as he pleased, provided he delivered the quantity received agree ably to his bill of lading. By the Flanders Mail this day, we have Hamburgh and other Continental Papers to the 22d instant. By these it will be seen that the news given by us two days ago about Trebisonde is correct. That great commercial city—only second in importance to Constantinople in all the East—is half destroyed by the Russian fleet. The Turks—the poor, miserable, wretched, fallen Turks, — still talk of resistance. The following are our selections BRUSSELS, Avo. 22. His Majesty has been pleased to make a very extensive promo tion in the army. Avower 23.—Her Majesty the Empress of Brazil having re• crived a courier trom Ostend, was to leave Ghent to-day. Ammar 25.—Since the Empress of Brazil has been at Ghent, the Marquis de Rezende has bad the honour to present to her several persons of distinction, both of Brazil and Portugal. Her Majesty received them with her usual affability. To the Conde de Sampayo she said. " I am happy to see the decendant of a Minister who is justly celebrated for the eminent services which be rendered to Portugal and Brazil, and' who has himself. in the course of a long career, given the most honourable proofs of his loyalty to the house or Bragann, and his attachment to the country." • The Conde Je Sampayo, who is 84 years of age, was deeply affected by her Majesty's kind expressions. Her Majesty passed through Bruges on the 23d, without stop- ping, on her way to Ostend. Yesterday, the 44th, being his Majesty's birth-day was We. breed with the usual solemnities; and the general joy with which the return of this day is always welcomed, was checked only by the bad weather, which spoiled the illuminations, and prevented the intended display of fire works.—Brussels Papers. Aug. 46. ODESSA, Au°. 4. General Win, who commands the reserve of 80,000 men be longing to the grand arniy in the field, has arrived here, where be has his head-quarters. BUCHAREST, Alto. 7. By way of Silistria, we have received direct accounts from the army of General Diebitsch, according to which the light troops were already within twelve hours march of Adrianople. We, therefore, expect shortly very important intelligence. TURKISH FRONTIERS. Auc. S. At Widdin the Turks have spread the unauthenticated news that the Pacha of Adrianople, and Hussein Pacha, united, had bad a most sanguinary battle with the Russians near Bourgas, in which the latter sustained considerable loss. As the Pacts sof Scutari is on the point of commencing operations against Gen. Geismar, it is conjectured that he circulates such reports in order to encourage his Albanians. Gen. Geismar is gone from Krajoa to his en trenched camp at Saduvan, in order to begin his operations with vigour. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aun. I. Since the 26th ult. one piece of bad news has followed another. The Pacha of Sinope has sent word that Trebbond is half destroyed by a bombardment by the Russian fleet, and will hardly be able to defend itself. On this side of the Balkan, however, measures are taken to make the most vigorous resistance. The Pacha of Adria nople, who has 12,000 men, is gone towards Bourgas, to join Hussein Pacha. r . 1: 1 1 1 • 1 11.- STOCKHOLM. Aug. 11. His Majesty has sent a message to the Diet, in which he an nounce., that in compliance with the wish intimated by the Diet, he has resolved on the coronation of her Majesty the Queen, and fixed the 21st for the ceremony. It is supposed that the States will vote tn-morrow the sum necessary for the expenses of the coronation. COPENHAGEN, Aua. IS. In the middle of last werk the Russian frigate Elisabeth, after having lain at anchor here fur some time, sailed to the north : she is bound to Rhodes, but will touch at Portsmouth on her way.— At St. Petersburgb, 20 Danish, 30 British, and 8 French vessels have been chartered by the Russian Government.-.-Hambergh Correspolident. log. 22. HAMBUILGH, Aug. 21. Bonen Hall, Four o'Cloek. Wngaz—Little has been brought to market during the week. Some purchases were made fur exportation, but only of the best and heaviest samples. Rya was heavy, our own consumers buying only at reduced prices, in expectation of new corn, of which a few loads have already been brought in. From 9th to 14th instant inclusive, 68 cargoes of corn passed through the Sound ; 17 bound to British, 25 to Dutch, 5 to French, and 15 to Swedish and Norwegian ports ; 2 for Bremen, 1 for Hatuburgh ; 5 destination unknown.

The prices in London on the 15th were yesterday brought by express. and occasioned a fall of to per cent. which has been followed to-day by an additional fall of 1 per cent. Sales of Stock have been almost exclusively for cash, or at very short dates. Money is extremely scarce, discount being at Si per cent. and expected to the yet higher. Several orders for silver that were in the course of being executed, are said to have been suspended, in consequence of the appreheusions of the exporters. Expresses with the English prices of the IStb, were sent off to Berlin yesterday, whence unfavourable accounts are expected in consequence by Monday's post. End of August. Last Tuesday. To-day.

NUREMBURG, Auo.B. The Munich Gaulle announces, as from an authentic source, that news had been received at Vienna, on the 12th instant, of a deci sive battle fought at the end of July between General Diebltsch and the Turks, at Kirk-Kilissa, thirty-eight leagues from Constan tinople. The Algoneilie Zei4sties also gives this news as having been melted on the 12th by the Russian Legation at Vienna, and en the 15th at Munich. It is strange that the Vienna letters and journals of the 14th, received to-day, and the Prussian State Ga sate of the 15th, say not a word of a battle at Kirk-Killssa. Oa the contrary, it appears from the account from Warsaw given by the State Gaulle. that the head.quatters of Count Diebitach were, on the 30th July, still at Aida, (forty league,' from Kirk- Yilisu. This obscurity must be cleared up In a few days.—Nurensbank Cerrrespesulnet, August 19. The Amgen Observer to the 17th Ausust, and the Prussian State GauseSe to the 21st inclusive, have no account of say opera tions of the army of General Diebitsch subsequent to the Maeda dated Aldo., 24th July. The latter has an extract front the Jaar.i nal of fit. Petersburgh of the I lth, which contains some addi tional particulars to this bulletin of the 12th (22d) July, which bul letin gives an account of Messemberla, Achiolas, and Bourg's. and was dated from Aidos. where the head-quartets still were oa the l ath (50th) July.

If the news be true, it is a pity. It is to the following effect : OPORTO. Auo. 5. The Divino Imperador schooner, which arrived at Lisbon on the 30th July, in 16 days from St. Michael's, brings word that the blockade of Terceira was continued with great strictness. The D. John VI. was at St. Michael's, to take on board the troops destined to attack Terceira, which was blockaded in the mean time by the other vessels. Assurances had been received from the faithful inhabitants, that as soon as his Majesty's forces should appear, aU would be finished, the island would submit, and the traitors would not be able to escape, as they greatly desired to do, in consequence of a Proclamation, dated the 17th June, on board the D. John VI. and posted up in the island on the 24th, in which the inhabitants were called upon to submit, assuring them that the rebels were disunited among themselves, as appeared from their letters for England, intercepted on board the Decan, Captain Daniel. Lastly, they are invited to deserve his Majesty's pardon, by preventing the Sight of the rebel leaders. This proclamation is dated the 17th of June, on board the Don John the Vlth, signed by Jose Joaquim da Rosa Coelho, Coat mander-in.Chief.—Lisbon Papers, dug. 14. CI'T'Y. Twicvs o'CLocic. This Is settling day in the Coastal Market, and the chief business doing at present is settling their accounts. As yet we do not hear of any failure, and the Account appears to go off well.

The settling of Accounts continues to go off well, as up to this hour we do not bear of any failures. It is singular that the prier of Consols were oo the lad settling day the same as this Account. It is supposed that the Bulls, the Hebrew party, have made great havoc amongst the Bears this Account. In the Foreign market little or nothing is doing. Brazilian Bonds are not so good as yesterday. The following has been received at the North and South Ame rican Coffee-house from New York : CIRCULAR TO TIIE COLLECTORS OF CUSTOMS. Treasury Department, Sth June, 1629. Stas—Tbe heavy losses sustained by the United States, through the failure of importing merchants to pay the debts due upon Custom-house bonds, and the facility with which the priority of the United States is evaded in cases of insolvency, render it indispensable that more effectual precaution be observed on the part of the Collectors, in accepting securities for the pay ment of bonds given for duties. With a view to this object you are instructed to keep a bond account with each extensive im porter, that you may be able at a glance to see the amount of his debts; and In all cases you are directed not to accept security which is not deemed by you fully ample for the debts in tended to be secured, or to give extensive credits to persona who are liable for large sums.as securities on the bonds of others. As it will be impossible to prescribe fixed limits to the credit proper to be given in each case, you are to exercise a sound discretion In guarding the interest of the Government. S. D. INGHAM, Secretary to the Treaoury. ............... All anxiety is now felt in the City for another Russian bulletin ; by which they shall officially learn the true situation of the Grand Seignor ; and whether he has sued for peace or decamped from his capital. Certain it is he must do one or the other. Accounts from Gibraltar of the 6th August state, that the emigration still continues, and commerce is entirely de stroyed. The troops of the garrison are in camp, and the town almost deserted ; and it may be at present called a military place. Accounts from Buenos Ayres of the 15th June state, that the enemy's troops were concentrated between Lu nn end Mixello. Quebec Papers to the 24th July, and Port au Prince to the 13th July, are received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Quebec Papers state, that his Excellency Sir James Kemp has left Montreal, on a visit to Chambley. His Excellency, who is said to have derived great satisfaction from his visit to Montreal, will return to the seat of Government the first week in August. The ;Majestic, from Belfast, has arrived after nine weeks' passage, with 3.50 settlers. The weather continued un settled for the last three weeks, with continual rain. We understand that Government received last night accounts from Constantinople of the 10th August, which bring the important information, that the Grand Sultan has left his capital, with the whole of his forces, for Adrianople : at the same time the sacred standard was hoisted, and he was determined to give the Russians battle. Should he prove unsuccessful, Constantinople was to experience the fate of Moscow, and be reduced to ashes. Letters have been received from Batavia of the 10th May, but they contain no political information. The Maria had arrived, after a quick passage of 101 days, with the two nephews of Richard Thornton, Esq. of London. The young Duke of BottuDEAux observing a soldier of the Swiss guard, while on duty at the Palace of St. Cloud. eating some very black bread, inquired " Why he preferred such ?" The answer was obvious—" It is the hest, please your Highness. that I can get." "Is it se? replied the Prince, " then wait a moment ;" and without further ceremony the young Duke rushed into the apartment where his MAJOTT was taking his dejesnser, and seizing a chicken and a loaf, c urri e d t h em o ff i n tr i umph to the soldier. The inhabitants of the town of Scarborough have re cently been enlivened by the presence of a whale, supposed to measure about sixty feet in length. He announced his arrival by spouting water to the height of a steamer's chimney, and after that was content with exhibiting his back several times. THE SIGHTS OF LONDON.—London is the place for strange things. There a Balm: may be seen acting as a pollee officer, with a Salem for an assistant ; a ring acting at a minor theatre (the Coburg) and an Arbon (Lord Tenterdeo) presiding in a court of justice instead of a monastery. ARCHITECTURAL ODDITIES.—The largest Protes tant church in the world (&. Paul's) was built by a Wren (the sesllest of birds); and the Adelphi has stood since the days of .ddans, who built it. • LIBERTY, A PLANT.-" Qui teneros castles alieni 'merit hard," says Horace. which, in good English phrase, we take to mean " Let your neighbour's cabbages alone," may well head the following conceit :—At a public meeting, held for the purpose of discussing the never-to-be-forgotten subject of Parliamentary Re form Dr. Manse!, then Master of Trinity C o ll ege, an d a f terwar d s Bishop of Bristol, completely alarmed Musgrave, the political tailor. in the middle of a vehement and spirit stirring exordium on blerty. " Liberty, gentlemen." said snip, addressing his brother craft 4, Lskerty is a plod !" " lie is cabbage I" ezdaimed Dr. Mengel. The contrast was so irreiledhle, that Musgrave, though a man of considerable nerve, was WOW down. THE INDIFFERENCE OF THE PRESS. Our contemporaries still permit themselves to be rocked gently in the drowsy cradle of delusion. Although the victorious sums.' of the Russian army are despairingly admitted, in world refutation of all they have been opining for the public so long, they cannot yet forego the same unction they so fondly lay to the 50u1..-•011! peace, dear peace ! what must be your charms, when those devih incarnate, London Editors, affect to hug you so closely! --they who have hitherto used their pens, 41 like quills upon the fretful porcupine." in daily irritation and domestic strife. The Czar, they admit, may be even now master of Constantinople ; and their confidence only Increases in Turkish forbearance. The Sultan, th e y conceive, cannot longer decline granting the simple reparation of honour solicited so humbly by the invader.—Constantinopl e in jeopardy is a real benefit ;—for all will now be well. Our di l a ° . matises will have a fair advantage, in pressing arguments of rec i p e _ ciliation with the Divan ; and the Sultan, good natnredly, win offer his band to the Czar,—who, grateful thereat, win plod his way back to the Danube, satisfied in mind and pocket. If, however, this petty war wigkosit ceessiversce should be conti nued to the slight interruption of oar trade in the Levant, we have only to dispatch a handful of troops and a squadron of ships to establish amity and good order, and all will become as before ; our commerce rise as prosperously as ever; Greece tranquillize itself ; and Paskewitsch, glad to relinquish his conquests, leave Ana. tolia and Trebisonde to its Makontedan masters. Then,restored, without interruption, to their own delightful element, the directors of the British Press—channting jubilee--will return to the brawl and skirmish upon the halfpenny-farthing questions of domestic interests sufficient for their calibre, and on which they, as champions of party, can alone affect importance. Game Laws and Lethbridge —Emancipation and Eldon--Select Vestries and the Lord Mayor— Oh shade of Chatham—Nee/gate and Sir Richard lErnie! But, alas ! the Czar is as anxiously active and resolutely earnest as our politicians are indifferent and supine. He leaves us to our home concerns while he secures a bold on the Darda nelles—never to be relinquished while he can command a single soldier faithful to the interests of his country. Yes, suck was precisely our apathy and pacific narrow views when Hocks invaded Holland. It required thirty years of bloodshed and treasure to rectify our mistake ; and now it may require an equal duration of struggle, a general invasion, and a Waterloo, to repair the errors of IU9. How desolating is it not for every thinking man attached to the interests of this country, and jealous of its honour, to contemplate so muck lethargy, silly complacence, and humbug, as is now enter tained by the press of this country, as an eventful crisis in which our immediate commercial interests are so alarmingly threatened —nay, our very existence as an independent nation. The march of Napoleon to Moscow was not more terrible than this Rus sian invasion of Constantioople.—lf it has fallen, woe to the mercantile--ansfusion to our governors. Our advantages will have been thrown away through corruption or imbecility ; and England, pulled down at once in the scale of nations, must crawl on as a third rate Power. • • • • • THE QUEEN OF PORTUGAL. PORTSMOUTH, Toter Evansa, Auc. 25. This evening at five o'clock, her Majesty Maria da Gloria, Queen of Portugal, arrived at the George Hotel, attended by the Marquis de Moselle, his Excellency Viscount d'ltabayna, his Excellency the Chevalier d'Marcorwhay, as also their Excel lencies Madame de la Samara, and Madame Brews. Her Majesty was received with a royal salute from the garrison, the whole of which was drawn out to receive her. After alighting from her carriage, she appeared, attended by her suite, at the window of the state room, when the regiments of the garrison presented arms and passed the window, their bands playing, and her Majesty graciously curtsied to each Officer as she passed, after which the Officers of the garrison were presented. Her Majesty looked rather fatigued from her journey. She was attired in a plain white frock with a pink girdle, a thin green gauze handkerchief round her neck, and a light pink bonnet. The Empress is expected here every hour from Ostend, in the Superb. Amongst those viewing the scene I observed Lord Shaftestury. The town is crowded to excess. Her Majesty's and the Empress's arrival, added to the Court- Martial, has brought an Indus of visitors seldom witnessed. Oa the arrival of her Majesty an the fashionables, as well as the garri son, turned out, the Brazilian frigates hoisted their colours, and their officers instantly repaired on shore to pay their respects to her Majesty. COURT CIRCULAR. - --~ The Princess LIEVEN and the Countess Of ABERDEEN had interviews with the Duchess of Cuxasal.arro yesterday, at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Marren of the Reims, the Dowager Duchess of RICEIIOIIO, Lady Maaessamoari. and Baron Muocuaussx. were among those who called yesterday to pay their respects to the Royal Duchess. Dispatches from the Right Hon. ROBERT GORDON, our Ambassador at Constantinople, for the Earl of Amman, were received yesterday at the Foreign Deice. They were brought by a Messenger who came front Ancona, to which port they were forwarded by tht Lord High Commissioner of the Inalan Islands. The British Consul at Ancona immediately dispatched a Messen ger with them to England. The Messenger brought dispatcher for the Colonial-office from Sir Faruszarcx Lama, the Lord High Commi.sioner of the lonian islands. The Danish Minister had a long conference with the Earl of Almanacs, yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of &ate for Foreign Affairs. The Spanish and Prussian Ministers bad also interviews with the Noble Earl yesterday. THE CHURCH. CAMBRIDGE, Auc. 21.

ETYMOLOGY.—A learned dictionary-maker derives the word " duel" from do ill, because the parties know that they are acting wrong.
