They come from the most respectable British authorities at these places, and the fullest reliance may thererore be placed upon them. At Constantinople, the communications between the Porte and the Russian Ambassador remained suspended. The latter had not received hisinstruc tiom from Pete' sburgh, and it was thought that it would be the middle of the month before they could arrive. If we may give credit, in the meantime, to the accounts from Odessa, it is certain that war will not take place. A Courier (says a letter of the 6th, re ceiv.t,i by a Ilouse in the City of great respectability) , has arr ived to-day from Petersburgh, and the intel ligence he has brought, makes it certain that there Trill be no war with Turkey." In consequence of this news, the price of corn fell considerably in that market ; and the chetwer (about six bushels) which previously fetched 22 and 21 roubles, declined im mediately to 17 roubles. In naval affairs a great effort seems to be making by the Turkish Government. Another divison of the fleet, the strength of which, however, is not stated, has passed the Dardanelles with the expectation of immediately commencing hostile operations in the Archipelago. This armament sailed, it is said, im mediately on the arrival of intelligence at Constanti nople that the armed vessels of the Paella of EGYPT had anchored at Rhodes. and wete ready to co-ope rate with them in an attack on the naval fot ce of the Greeks. An Algerine squauton, destined for the same object, was also expected in the Archipelago, and cn the junction of the three fleets great reliance was placed at Constantinople for regaining the as cendancy at sea, on which the issue of the contest so materially depended. The state of Smyrna was far from being tranquil or satisfactory. The PAcHA was little respected by the Jani,saries; and the Christians, who, yielding with reluctance to his promises of protection, and to the pressure of their own multiplied privations and inconveniences on board ship, had returned to their dwellings, experienced much alarm. It was hoped, however, that more troops would at-live from Con stantinople to strengthen the authority of the PA( 11A. The condition of Salonica was still worse : the sur rounding country in insurrection; the Turkish troops beaten, and driven into a city crowded with inha bitants both Mahometan and Christian---both exas perated, and the former armed. A Greek squadron also appeared off the harbour, and added to the ge neral confusion. Since writing the preceding details, we have re• cetved, by two Mails from Hamburg': and one from Flanders, Papers to the 27th July and the I st instant. They contain a variety of accounts from Turkey, which, though not of so late a date as those received in London, are highly interesting. The following are extracts: WARSAW, JULY 15. The Grand Duke Constamine set out yesterday for Brzebe, to review the army of Lithuania, which is cantoned in various parts of Lithuania and Vo:hy nia. He is accompanied by General Gendre. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE sa. A second Russian packet-boat, from Odessa, ar rived on the 17th at the entrance of the• Black Sea : the Turkish Admiral declared that the entrance of ' the paCket-boat was expressly forbidden, and that if it attempted to enter he would have it sunk; but the courier on board would not be prevented from land ing. As a report was soon spread at Constantinople that the Porte had put a guard on board the packet, and the Austrian Internuncio complained of the vio lation of the law of nations, the Reis Effendi declared that the story was false. He knew well, he said, that this would be an act of hostility towards a Power with which they did everything to live at peace. It was wished to induce the Janissaries to choose a Corps from among themselves, to be sent to the Dlorea, for the defence of the Mahometan religion. Their representatives pot only refused this, but de clared that their constituents had changed their minds respecting the new military regulations to which they had consented in May, and that all must remain on its old footing. In a Divan held on the 20th, at the Captain Pa- 1 cha's, it was resolved to remove Kialla Bey, the Com mander of the Turkish fleet. Kara Ali, Commander of the Port of Constantinople, was appointed his suc -4.c.54r. It was also resulvt.sl to milli - one the squadron in the Ar.lipelagb, with six men of war and eight ,gun-boats, and to obtain Marines by the offer of great bounties. Tt.‘? sievalier Zeade Bermuda, formerly Spanish Amb i , ,sador to the Russian Court, has arrived here from Odessa, and assumed the character of Ambas sador from his Catholic Majesty. IIEIUiANNSTADT, JULY 14. The following Representation, signed by the prin..' , cipal inhabitants of many towns and districts of Wal lachia, addressed to the Russian Consul, from Bucha rest, who is now here, has just been received : We, inhabitants of the Wallachian districts of OAR, Bcc. &c. relying with entire confidence on existing treaties, and on the patronage of Russia, had remained quiet spectators of events, and followed our domestic affairs, when our lands were suddenly invaded and plundered by the Turks, our houses and our churches burnt; and, what is much more horrible, our priests and part of their /lock beheaded, only that a larger number of Christian heads might be sent to the Turkish Sultan as proofs of their wicked deeds, and of a conspiracy which we never thought of. Our loss amounts to millions, and we are irre trievably ruined. We therefore request you to send our well founded remonstrance to our august patron, that he may afford us succour, and preserve us against total destruction." FROM AN AUTHENTIC COMMUNICATION FROM CONSTANTINOPLE. JUNE 28. Very urgent remonstrances have been made to the Ottoman Porte by all the great European Powers, respecting its severe and cruel conduct towards the Greeks, and the attitude it seems disposed to assume towards Russia, which is the intimate ally of Aus ti ia, Prussia, England, and Trance. Upon all these remonstrances the Reis Effendi expressed himself to all the Ambassadors with the greatest composure and apparent impartiality, but to the English Ambassa dor with a certain frankness and friendship. The Porte denies that the punishment inflicted on several of the Greek Clergy proceeds from a spirit of persecution towards the Christian religion or the Greek nation. Relatively to the first point, it appeals to the protection which the Catholics and Armenians enjoy ; to thefact that thefree and public exercise of the Greek worship at Constantinople has not beenfor a Ina ment interrupted. [From this, it should seem as if the reports of the destruction of the Greek churches were false] ; and the sacrilege committed on some village churches had been severely punished. It affirms that what was done to the Patriarch, would have been done to the Mufti if he had been guilty of simlar crimes—that his perfidy was incon testibly proved by eleven letters written by him to the Morea, «hick are in the hands of the Porte (they were not shewn)—that his being executed at Easter was not the effect of design, but because the proofs of his treason had not been obtained till the preceding evening—that the Porte, for its own security, was compelled to use inexorable severity, but that it had not caused a single individual to be executed, of whose guilt it had not the most incontrovertible' proofs. Finally, that the Sultan acted as an inde pendent Monarch, who had to account for his actions to GOD alone. To Lord Strangford the Reis Effendi gave the as surance, that the Porte endeavoured to avoid everything that would lead to a war with Russia, because it was very sensible, that as it was unable to repress the Rebels, it was not in a condition to act alone agair.st that Power; and well knew that, in the present state of harmony between all the European Cabinets, no State would draw a sword in its defence ;—that all the misunderstandings were the consequences of the conduct of Baron Strogonoff, and that it would ap ply to the magnanimous Emperor himself.—(Baton Strogonoff is well known to be a man of distinguished education, polished manners, and noble character.) LETTER FROM CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 28. 6 , The English and French Ambassadors at Con stantinople have desired the Commanders of the squadrons of their respective nations in the Archi pelago, to act hostilely towards the Greeks if they should attempt to force the entrance of the harbour of Smyrna ; and the same against the Turks, if they should attempt to hinder the Franks from removing ,with their families and property." The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon. They do not contain any intelligence which has not been anticipated by the Dutch and tlimburgh French Five per Cents. Monday, 85fr. 90c. Bengal Papers have been received to the middle of February. They contain advices from Bussorah, which state that place to be much disturbed by a body of Arabs of Zobeci, who were committing de predations without the city, while the soldiers within were plundering those who were unarmed. Some misunderstanding had arisen between the Governor and the British Resident, the latter of whom was about to leave Bussorah, and repair to Mahammereh, the place to which General Metconis mission once retired from Persia. The accounts from Muscat are not of a later dater than the 29th of December, pre vious to which Lieutenant-Colonel WARREN had ar rived there, and had an interview with the !metre. Our relations with that Prince continued on the best footing, his Highness being ready to aid' us in any 1 future operation against the tribe of Beni 800 Ali.— To the northward of Muscat, the Joasmeis Bad at tempted to destroy the IstAusT, but they were re pulsed, and quietness was restored. Our troops had retired from Deristan to Kishme. Mr:Sttaw, now Sir ROBERT, and Company, Dub lin, are, w e understand, to be the KING; s Bankers, during his blantrria Kay is Ireland. TIKE KINGS VISIT ro IRELAND. WEST COWES, AUGUST 1. The squadron passed Cowes about two o'clock, under a royal salute from the Castle, and proceeded a few miles towards the Needles; but as there was a fresh breeze right against them, and the tide also was becoming unfavourable, the squadron bore up for Cowes Roads, and the royal yacht came teller moor ings opposite the Kmo's cottage here, at half-past four o'clock. The ships of war here composing the Portsmouth squadron, on their return, passed by the' royal yacht; and it was a most gratifying sight to witness the *scene which was then presented.. Thou sands of spectators lined the shore, eager to testify their pleasure at seeing the royal yacht once more in these roads. The ships of war, as they passed, manned their rigging; and the loud huzzas of the sailors, as their different ships moved by, were acknowledged by his MAJESTY, who took off his cap, and bowed to them in the most condestending manner. Several pleasure-boats were moving here and there around the royal yacht. The steam-boat from Southampton passed very close to his MAJESTY, and the Ladies on board were quite delighted by a near view of his per son; they waved their handkerchiefs, and absolutely hung over the side of the vessel, that they might see his MAJESTY as nearly as possible. His MAJESTY bowed to them. The KING is in the highest spirits after his day's sail, and looks still better than he did yesterday. He appears pleased with every mark of attachment that is shewn him, and looks upon every effort which is made to come near his yacht with a good-humoured smile. He is not sparing in sheaving his person, spending the greater. part of the day on deck. Most of the yachts belonging to th• Yacht Club are now around the rcyal yacht. The ships of war came all to anchor at five o'clock. Cowes is all in a bustle. The inhabitants and visitors are quite delighted to have their KING near them. LYMINGTON, AUGUST 2. Ills MAJESTY in his Royal yacht, accompanied by the squadron and a great number of private cutters and vessels, have just passed the Needles with the wind at W.S.W. The Forts saluted the squadron as they passed. IRELAND. CONCILIATION MEETING A 2" THE ROYAL EXCHANGE, DUBLIN. On Monday, an Adjourned Meeting of the Nobi lity, Gentry, and Citizens of Dublin, was held at the Royal Exchange, for the purpose of making the ne cessary arrangements, and naming the Stewards, for the Public Dinner, to be given in honour of his MA JESTY'S Coronation. At a quarter before four o'clock the LORD MAYOR took the Chair. Mr. 'WILLIAM DIGGES LATOIXIIII, as Secretary to the Meeting, having read the Requisition, Mr. JAMES CONOLLY moved, that a Public Dinner should be given on Wednesday, the first day of Augut next, at Morrison's, Dawson -street, in celebra tion of his MAJESTY'S Coronation. This Resolution was seconded by Mr. O'CONNELL, and on being put from the Chair, was carried una nimously. Mr. LAWLESS (of Belfast) being about to address the Meeting, the LORD MAvort said, that he hoped every Gentleman who would speak on the subject would keep to the business for which they assembled, which was the appointing of Stewards for the ap proaching Dinner. Mr. LAWLESS thanked the Lord Mayor for the suggestion, and said, that he should speak solely to the business for which they had met. Mr. Lawless then said, that he gave his Lordship full credit for having conceded much for the attaining of general unanimity amongst all classes of his fellow-citizens; still lie thought that something more was necessary. He (Mr. Lawless) would propose, that in order to eztend the feeling of unanimity throughout all Ire land, it should not be a Dinner given by the Citizens of Dublin alone, but a Dinner of Irishmen, at which the Premier Peer of Ireland, the Duke of Leinster, should preside, and the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor should act as Vice-President.--( Here there were loud ales of " No, no !" ) Mr. O'CoNNELL said, that the Lord Mayor, as Chief Magistrate of the City, should hold the first place at the dinner; that it was his as a matter of, right, and that the dinner was to be given by the Citizens of Dublin—( Hear, hear !). The LORD MAYOR said, that he could never con- 1 sent to compromise the dignity of the station in which the kindness of his fellow-citizens bad placed him. . Mr. WILLIAM MURPHY then moved, that thirty Stewards should be appointed, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements for the Dinner ; fifteen to be Protestants, and fifteen Catholics. This Resolution was seconded by Mr. Alderman ARCHER, and, on being put from the Chair, was carried unanimously. The Hon. Mr. La PoER TRENCH then moved, that an invitation should be sent to the Earl of Fingal, requesting his Lordship to act as Vice-President on the occasion. This Resolution was also carried unanimously. Mr. SHELL moved, that, in furtherance of the ob ject which they all had in ♦iew, namely, unanimity, the Protestant Gentlemen to be selected as Stewards should be nanual by the Cathdlics, and the Catholic Gentlemen by the Protestants. Carried unintrttonlr. —Mr. O'Gony x then read the following names Protestant Gentlemen, as those who bad been sel ecte d by the Catholics : Alderman Shaw, M.P. Alderman Carl Thomas Otis, M.P. Mr. Arthur Culm.ess Alderman M'Kenny Alderman James lion. Captain Stanhope Alderman Archer Mr. William Humphries Mr. Peter Burn:met Mr. William Digger LroeSte Hon. W. Le Baer Trench Sir William Stamer and Mr. Thomas Wilson. J es Grattan, M.P. The question was then put from the Chair, ti ilt the above-named Gentlemen should act as Stewa r d s , which was carried unanimously. Alderman ARCHER moved that the following c a . tholic Gentlemen should alto act as Steward,: Sir Edward Bellew, Bart. Counsellor Finn Sir Thomas Esmontle, Bart. Mr. Val. O'Cornor Mr. James Connolly Counsellor Sheil Mr. William Murphy Counsellor O'Corrnsu Mr. Nicholas Mahon Mr. Joseph Plante: Mr. Thomas M'llonnen Mr. Edward Moore Mr. Thomas Sherlock Mr. James Farrell, an 4 Mr. D. O'Connell Mr. Jonathan Lynch. Carried unanimously. It having been ascertained that there was one more name to the last list than to the former, it was moved and seconded, that Mr. RICIIIARU Mti.t.txtsfs name should he added to the former. Mr. O'CoNwet.t. congratulated the Meeting and the Country on the harmony which had now been so happily completed. He looked upon this day as most auspicious, and trusted that no unhallowed hand would, at any future time, attempt to disunite the people of Ireland—( Hear, hear).—The example of t h e Metropolis would, he hoped, be followed in the Pro. vinces. He concluded a concise and animated ad . dress, by moving that an Anniversary Dinner shcidd henceforth he held, on as near a day as convenientts the 23d of April, being the day appointed for the celebration of his Majesty's Birth-day. This Resolution was seconded by Mr. Gutntss, and carried by acclamation. Mr. WILLIAM DIGGES LATOIJCFIE here mentioned, that it would be well to adopt some Resolution to the effect that no toast should be permitted except such as would come from the Chair. Mr. O'CossELL said that it would be totally unne cessary, as the selection of toasts would form a past of the duty of the Stewards. The LORD MAYon then mentioned, that he had hid an interview with his MAJESTY'S intimate friend, Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, who had arrived in Dub , lin the day preceding, and he would feel happy by the Meeting empowering him to wait on Sir BESJA• MIN 13coourtztu with an invitation to dinner. A Resolution to this effect was put anal carried unanimously. It was then moved and carried that the Comminft should adjourn to Morrison's, to make the necessary arrangements for the dinner. • JAMES CONNOLLY, Esq. was then called to the Chair ; when Mr. O'CoNNELL moved the marked thanks of the Meeting to the Lord Mayor, for his proper and digs. nified conduct in the Chair. This Resolution was carried with acclamations. The Meeting was the most numerous and respect able of 'any ever witnessed ; and the most perfect unanimity and good order prevailed.
