We briefly announced, in a Second Edition of our Paper of yesterday, that the Levant Company had received intelligerLe from Constantinople, of an ad justment having taken place of the differences be tween Russia and the Porte. The news was trans mitted in a letter from the British Consul-General at Constantinople, dated the 31st ult. The terms pro posed by the Russians have been acceded to by Turkey, who has conducted herself throughout the dispute with a degree of temper and prudence which few expected on her part. The Russian Ambassador, on the other hand, is said to have displayed to the last the same unconci y spirit which marked his conduct during the whole course of the dispute. The facts are these: the ultimatum was delivered by STROGONOFF on the Sth, and it appears, *':at instead of ten, only eight days were allowed for Porte to decide. On the 26th, STROGONOFF sent his Dragoman for the an swer : the Litter was informed by the Dragoman of the Porte, that " as the documents would require some tine to prepare (71111 translaie, it was wished that rtlew /,our mote should be allowed," at the same time it was intirmiteJ that the whole of the toms proposed had agreed to. On the following day it was notifie I that the offi ci..l answer was ready, when STROGONOFF refused to receive it, alleging that it was teo tardy; he then demanded passports for himself and suite; these the Porte refused, but offered at the same time to give the vessel he intended to embark on heard of, a Fir inan, and said that they should not oppose his depar ture. Although this proceeding would seem to indi cate a strong inclination to pick a quarrel at any rate,' we do not think that such is STROGONOFF% view.— It is said (and we have the information from an un doubted source), he intimated to the other Ambas sadors, that, as the time had ezpired, he could not accept the answer without disobeying the orders of bis master, bat that he should wait at Odessa, and be ready to receive any communications the Porte might think proper to send to him. We may, therefore, confidently anticipate that there will be ~o war between these two Powers. We understand that an account, drawn up by the Austrian Internuncio, of the whole cause of the dis pute between the Russian Ambassador and the Turk ish Government, and which was sent by the Court of Vienna to that of Petersburgh, had chiefly contri buted to enlighten the latter with respect to the in temperate conduct of its Minister. At the same time the efforts of England and Austria to dissuade l the Russian Court from coming to a harsh decision, had been unremitting ; and they were equally active in their good offices to bend the pride of the Porte to circumstances. The influence which Lord STRANG run') had acquired over the Divan, was employed with the happiest effect ; and to his judicious manage ment, backed by the known wishes of his GoVern viva to preserve the peace of Europe, this happy ter mination of a dispute, which wore for a time a very men.,cing appearance, is, in a great measure, due. Preparations are making for bis MAJESTY'S recep tion at his Palaces in London on the sth of Septem ber. It is expected that he will remain only six days in London, prior to his departure for Hanover. We mentioned on Tuesday the arrival of his Ex cellency the Prince ESTERHAZY, at Glasgow, on Fri day last. His Excellency was accompanied by the Prince NICHOLAS ESTERILAZY, COMA METTERNICH (son to the Prime Minister of Austria), the Baron Feonn, and a medical Gentleman, all of whom took up their abode at the Tontine Hotel. At ten o'clock on Saturday morning the Prince was waited upon by the LORD PROVOST and Mr. CLELAND, when his Excellency expressed a desire to visit the .Manufac tories, and some of the Public Institutions. Open carriages were then ordered, and the distinguished strangers visited and examined the principal Manu factories, &c. till four o'clock, when the Magistrates and the Professors of the Ueiversity had the honour of being introduced to his Excellency in ties Town hall, where an elegant collation was laid out. The LORD Pnovosr and Mr.CLELAND, who accompanied the Prince and his suite to the several Manufactories, had the honour of dining with them in the evening. His Excellency (who wore the rich Orders of the Golden Fleece and the Guelph) was cheered by great crowds of people wherever he went. After assisting at Mass on Sunday, in the Catholic Chapel, in Clyde street, the Prince and his suite left Glasgow for Buchanan House, on a visit to her Grace the Du chess of MONTROSE; after which the illustrious party arc to visit Stirling and Edinburgh. Extract of a letter from Paris, dated August 26 : At Paris there is nothing new which merits no tice, unless it be the immediate return of the Duke de Cazes. It is said, and it appears certain, that he is appointed Ambassador Extraordinary, charged to congratulate George IV. as King of Hanover. Other persons affirm, that during the stay of the King of England at Brunswick Hanover, a new Congress of Sovereigns will be held at that Royal residence, at which the King of France will be represented by M. de Cazes. The recal of M. de Talleyrand to the Mi nistry, is also talked of; but; in truth, we do not be. lieve this report; so difficult would it be to form a Ministry with him. He would not have M.

ITAYNIA RKrv.—This popular Thentre displayed a full ancl fashionable attendance last night, and the se veral Pieces went off with eclat. They were all of tho' lively character, corresponding with the lor.g-estab li2led character of the House for genuine wit and humour, ENGLISH OPERA-Housr..—An amusing bagatelle, entitled A Cure for Coxcombs, was last night pro duced at this Theatre. In the short compass of One Act we cannot fairly expect intricacy of plot or variety of incident. If the characters be agreeable, and the dialogue sprightly, we have a right to be satisfied. These qualities belong, in a very consider able degree, to the new Operetta. The fable turns on the inordinate vanity of young Ea sel (W Kamm), a fop, who imagines that every woman, however respectable, who treats hint with common civility and politeness, feels a testdresse for his person. This fidoois has been sent by his friends in the country to study the law ; but, as the Play houses and taverns had a greater charm fqr him than the Inns 1 of Court, he soon dissipates his allowance, and endeavours to subsist by practising as a portrait-painter. In this capacity he procures admittance into the house of Mr. Trusted, (ROW BOTIIA3i) during the absence of the master, and, mistaking the politeness of Mrs. Trugall for the unequivocal indications of violent affec doe, he makes himself exceedingly ridiculous by the fustian which he pours forth, in °Met to prove to the Lady that her supposed tenderness is not thrown away on an ungrateful or inanimate object. She is piqued at his presumption, and determines, if possible, to "cure the coxcomb." On the return of her husband site contrives to have Easel placed in an apartment where he most hear all that passes between her and her spouse. She then describes all that had occurred, expresses her utter contempt for the popinjay who bad attempted to insinuate himself into her good graces, and insinuates that she has, in pelf°, a pleasant revenge. This is an excellent scene. The situatitm of Easel, who expected to have heard himself described as a paragon of perfection, but who is assailed by the most contemptuous epi thets, is extremely comic. The-arrival of Umbras, the uncle of Easel, who, not having heard from his nephew for some time, has come to town in search of him, forms the acsia of his mils fortunes. Ile Is suffered to emerge from his imprisonment, and, thoroughly bumbled, be declares his determination to think less highly of himself, and more favourably of the female character for the future. The characters are neatly drawn. That of Adam - - —a landator temporis acti—a bewailcr of good old times that are past, is excellent, and was admirably supported by WILKINSON. He sang a good comic song with the most humorous effect. Airs. Trustall found an excellent representative in Miss BLANCH ARD. The dialogue does not aspire to the dignity of wit ; but, " Arm'd with light points, antitheses, and puns," it pleases by its cheerfulness and vivacity. One or two of the repartees, are, however, a little too broad. The Performers did ample justice to their respective characters; and the Piece, which is the production of Mr. BEASLEY, went off exceedingly well.—The House was well filled. Covent Garden Theatre will re-open on Monday, the 24th of September. Mr. CONNOR, of Covent Garden, is now the fa vourite performer of the Irish characters at the Dub lin Theatre. DE.vrit or Pr.nronNtras.—Some how or other, actors and actresses generally contrive, like cowards, to " die many times before their death !" We recol lect hearing once, in London, that Mr. KEMBL.E Was no more, but on going to Covent •Garden the same evening, the first pers , )n we met, coming out of the box we were entering, was Mr. KESIBLE himself!— A few months ago, Madame CATALAN[ VL as dead in Italy, now she is singing in England ! Some time alter, Madame FODOR had breathed her last, in ex cruciating agonies, by drinking vinegar to keep down* her shape—only a few days had elapsed till it was announced that she was warbling at Paris, without a thought either of death or vinegar ! Last week Miss Bynns•elied in Dublin—next day we hear from the Dublin Evening Post, that though not dead, she is as angelic as ever. And another Paper, perhaps the sly journalist that first published her decease, instead of noticing her singing, says, he is happy to learn she is recovering from lea late severe indisposition—an in disposition of which, perhaps, she herself never so much as dreamt. Mrs. INCHBALD, a little before her death, delivered to an intimate female friend the only copy that she ever made of her Diary, with a strict injunction that it should be destroyed. It was represented to her, that a compliance with this request would be an in justice to her literary fame; but she observed, that what she had written might, if published, hurt the feelings of some who survived her ; and that, though dictated at the time by the most honest intentions, it might probably be found to contain a tincture of pre judice. Therefore, with rare and honourable candour, she insisted on making the sacrifice, and the work was accordingly destroyed, Lord BLANTYRE has granted the handsome deduc tion of fifteen pet' cent. to his tenants off last year's rent, for which they have returned their thanks. A few days since, as a young Gentleman of the neighbourhood of Hereford, was fishing with a drag net, assisted only by two keepers, they caught, at one draught, 167 brace of tench, the smallest of which weighed above half a pound. In Turkey nothing is more common. han for Mos sulmans to take several glasses of strong spirits by way of appetizer. Lord BYRON say, he has seen them take even as many as six of raid before dinner, and swear that they dined the better for it ; he tried the experiment, but was like the Scotchman, who having heard that the birds called killiewiaks were admirable whets, ate six of them, and complained Mat he was no hungrier Man when he began. A Female Cut respondent observes, that having oc casion to stop at a poulterer's in Leadenhall-market, a few days since, the saw the man picking a fowl, which, to her surprise and horror, she found to be alive ! She related the Net to the master, who was engaged at the time at a distant part of the shop, and whom she imagined to be ignorant of the barbarous fact ; but her surprise Was greatly increased, and her indignation roused, by his coolly replying, " Madam,l they always do so !" It is said, that feathers from a live fowl are more valuable to the upholsterers, than when taken otherwise : but surely, in this boasted age of refinement—in this land which prides itself for its humanity—cupidity does nut so far prevail over the gentler passions as to render such a barba rous action general.

Among other whimsical things produced by his NIAJESTY'S Visit to Dublin, the following Notice ors the gate of the College has caused much merriment. The Vice-Provost, the Rev. JOHN BARRETT, in his capacity of Librarian, caused to be posted at the en trance of the University a slip of paper, on which was written— Observe, that the Library is closed for three days, fur the purpose of cleaning " JOHN BARRETT !" A few days previously, a Gentleman of the Uni versity, who had lost ten pounds, advertised it at the same place, as follows: " Lost, by Mr. A—, of No. 9, College, the sum of Xin. if found by a poor man, .12 reward will be given him; if by oper ant) above accepting of the reward, the £2 to be handed to the Sockty for the Suppression of Mendicity." A wag, observing that the advertisement omitted to say that the reward would be given on returning the money, scribbled the following underneath: " Found, by a Gentleman, the XlO mentioned above, n of which have been banded to the Secretary of the idendicity Society by the finder, who has pocketed the balancefor haws* I Early on Saturday morning, W. CLIFT, who has been many years jockey to Earl Ferzwittram, was found lying by the water-side, opposite Wellington , row, York, near the ferry steps, with his pockets rifled and two of his ribs broken. It appears he had been in company with some friends, on the evening preceding, at Mrs. Smarr's, the Black Dog, in dub ber-gate, where the glass had circulated pretty freely; he left that place rather late, and it is supposed he had been enticed into one of those houses which are at once a nuisance and a disgrace. In this house, it is believed, he had been robbed of the sum of £33, and turned out in the miserable condition he was found. Two men were apprehended on Saturday morning, under suspicion of being concerned in this diabolical act, one of whom is a well known notori ous character. They were remanded until the root man is able to attend to give evidence. Friday morning, a poor woman and her child were saved from drowning by the humane exertions of the Bev. W. FARMER, of Hanky, Staffordshire, who was bathing at the time on the South shore, between the Toll-house and Jackson's Dim, at Liverpool. At about 200 yards distance, Ire saw the woman carry her child to the edge of the water to bathe it. Un acquainted with the place, and misinformed by a man who stood upon the spot, she went in, and was instantly beyond her depth : she uttered a shriek and sunk, but rose again. Mr. FARMER instantly ran to the spot, but before he reached the place anodrer Gentleman came, and plunged in to the woman's rt lief. He also got beyond his depth, and was too much engaged in saving himself to afro: d the drowning W man and her child any assistance. The woman was sinking over head a third time when Mr. FARUEI came up, and providentially succeeded in bringi ng 1 her to the shore. The strength of maternal affection was striking in this affecting case. The poor woman's sole care seemed to be the preservation of her child: for when her head was under water, she held her chi:d up above the water, and the first words she could articulate after she was delivered from her perilous , situation were, "0 my child ! omy child !" Iler deliverer said, " Be composed, you and your dear child are safe." The object of the writer of this artick is, to caution persons from bathing in places with which they are not well acquainted.
