The Jews are, how ever, very extensive buyers at the Stock Exchange, and it is reported they are in possession of very im portant intelligence, The prevailing report is, that the affairs of Russia and Turkey are all amicably settled. A Hamburgh Nail arrived this forenoon with pa pets to the 21st instant. We subjoin some interest ing extracts relative to the affairs of Turkey and Greece. Our Readers will be particularly pleased to observe the manner in which the British Ambassa dor has interceded for the preservation of the re mains of ancient Art at Athens, in the event of that city becoming a scene of contest between the Turks and Greeks, and with the marked respect which has been shewn to his representations. MAMBURGII, SEPTEMBER sl. We have received from Comtantinople the forow• ing authentic communication : " Constantinople, August 15. g , We are here in perfect tranquillity, and wonder at the surprising inaccuracies which we find in foreign newspapers, especially in a Bavarian journal, which hither to has not communicated a syllable of truth re specting the affairs of Turkey. We read of massacres, and scenes of horror, but we have not witnessed any of them. It is true, however, that•at the first disco very of the Greek conspiracy, great and much to be lamented severity was exercised. But those times are passed, and peace, security, and good order, are entirely restored. We confidently hope that there will be no war with Russia. The English Ambassa dor, as well as the Austrian, French, and Prussian Ambassadors, do everything to prevent war. The Turks wish for peace." CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST 46. LETTER FROM HIS HIGHNESS THE GRAND VIZIER TO THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF THE MOREA, AND TO THE COMMANDER OF THE TURKISH TROOPS BE- PORE ATHENS. "~t Viscountftscangford, the English Ambas sador ri. the Sublime Porte, having learned that the Ottoman troops (may victory always attend them i 4 are on the march to deliver Athens from the rebels, who have taken possession of it, has presented an official note, signed with his respectable name, in which he signifies that it would be highly agreeable to his Majesty the King of Great Britain, if orders were given for the protection and preservation of all the ancient edifices, temples, and other ornaments of antiquity, which are in the city and environs of Athens, and which have always been so highly interesting to the learned of Europe. " Now, as his Britannic Majesty is full of friend ship towards the Sublime Porte, and the cordial at tachment and confidence between the two Govern ments daily increases; and as the temples and other antiquities of Athens have always excited the ad miration of Europe, it is becoming the dignity of the Sublime Porte to adopt measures for the preservation of these remarkable objects, and also for the pur pose of doing what may be agreeable to the King of England, and to his Ambassador, our good friend. " We, therefore, call upon you, by your prudent zeal, and .by the application of your authority, to issue the necessary orders to all whom it concerns, that the ancient edificsks in Athens and the vicinity may be preserved uninjured, that no damage be done to them, and that no complaints may be made to us by our friend the Ambassador, or by others, that our commands have not been punctually obeyed." ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 4. Baron Strogonoff, Minister frifm his Majesty to the Ottoman Porte, who is arrived at Odessa with the persons of his Legation, and has been detained for some days in quarantine in that port, is shortly ex pected in this capital. The Military Gazette remarks upon an article in a German Journal respecting " British Africa" : " With all due respect for the private sources of information, as well as for the African Papers, we must confess that we are at a loss to discover whence these papers and private authorities know that the power of England in the two Indies may perhaps not long continue. We believe, on the contrary, that no prophecies are so uncertain in the accomplishment as those which have for their object a decline of the English power. The latest events sufficiently prove how egregiously people have been mistaken on this subject. He who, from a transitory pain in the little finger of a healthy man, should infer the decay of his strength, would surely make a very false con clusion." WARSAW, SEPTEMBER 12. Our Gazette says—" Ere now. 9000 Greeks who Bed through the Buckowina to Bessarabia, and a great pail from Wallachia to Transylvania, have arrived at their &Illation. The Russians on the frontiers of Nlolckvia have retired to their former positions." FR ANH FORT, SEPTRMBER 19. Baron Kienmayer, General of Cavalry, who com mands in Mor.tvia, has been sent for to Vienna. It is supposed that he will have the command of the army forming at Transylvania. It is stated that the Turkish fleet in the Archipe- i lago has sustained a new deft-as, and lost part of its ve s sels. On the other hand, it is confirmed, that the Greek Bishop of Salonica, and many merchants ; have been massacred by the Turks. We expect the details of these new atrocities. The city of Carlsbad has suffered immense damage by an extraordinary inundation of the river Tope], in the night of the 9th: it was caused by a heavy rain, a violent storm, and, it is supposed, the breaking of a water-spout in the mountains. Some houses were destroyed, the pavement of the streets torn up, and the water rose to the height of ten feet in some houses. Advices have been received from Buenos Ayres to the 19. h July. They are of rather in important nature. It appears that a very decisive engagement had taken place between the forces in that city and those under General RAMIREZ, who, it will be recol lected, had for a considerable period filled the inha bitants of Buenos Ayres with anxiety and alarm. His career, however, 4 now closed. He was entirely de feated, and lost his life in the action. Most beneficial consequences were expected from the event. His head had been sent to General RODRIGUEZ, who is the present Supreme Director at Buenos Ayres. The , communication with Chili and all the provinces of the interior would be speedily opened. No mention is made in the advices of the defeat of General SAN MARTIN and his army in Peru. We therefore trust that the intelligence received through Jamaica was incorrect. By the arrival of his Majesty's ship Scour at Ports mouth, from the Mediterranean, we have received advice, from Cadiz, Barcelona, Malaga, Gibraltar, and other places, to a late date. The Board of Health at Cadiz have reported that city to be free from any contagious disorder. At Xeres, a great abate ment had taken place in the violence of the fever.— At Barcelona, its ravages still continued without in termission, and consequently the communication by sea between thar port and Valencia was cut off, and even by land a quarantine of sixteen days was en- 1 forced, before the latter place could be entered. At Madrid, no persons were admitted who had come from Catalonia, unless they submitted to a previous quarantine of eight days. The accounts from Portugal, by the same con veyance, are to the Ist instant. They state, that the Hereditary Prince had been arrested at Rio Ja neiro, and that an embargo had been laid on all Portuguese vessels in the Tagus, as it was intended to send some troops immediately out to the Brazils. We have given, in another part, some shocking details of depredationi and cruelties which have been recently committed in the West Indies, for the most part in the neighbourhood of the Havannah. The pirate vessels are small and despicable : they appear to be manned by desperadoes of all nations, and to exercise their outrages indiscriminately upon all.—. By accounts from Barbadoes to the middle of August, it appears 'that our naval force on that station is di minishing, as the danger against which it should form a safeguard is increasing. Admiral FAust has shifted his gag to the Pvaxmvs frigate of 42 guns, at Antigua. The SALISBURY has gone home, and the SA PPHIRK, being defective, is ordered home. A frigate and three sloops will then constitute his whole squadron. Where do the British fruiters sleep, that in the Atlan• tic, as in the Archipelago, the protection of the mer chant is thus neglected? The LORDS JUSTICES appointed by the KING to exercise the functions of Government during his. ' MA.rarre's absence on the Continent, opened their Commission on Wednesday, and appointed WIL LIAM HAMILTON, HENRY GOULSURN and HENRY Hosmocrsz, Esqrs. Secretaries to their Excellen cies. The number of Commissioners is nineteen; several of whom are out of town. The Sheriffs Elect, Messrs. Aldermen GAZIATT and VENABLZS, with the Wardens and Masters of their respective Companies, breakfasted this morning at Goldsmiths Hall, and afterwards proceeded to Guildhall, in order to be sworn into of for the en suing year. The liveries and state chariots are the most superb and magnificent sten for some years. The practice adopted at the Royal Exchange of cloiing the doorset„ half-past four, whether cleared or not, caused yesterffay the detention of between 200 and 300 of the Gentlemen who attend it. After being en closed above ten minutes, many became impatient to Fo about their business, or attend other engagements. They then began to batter the doors, the portals par ticularly. That which opens towards Bank-buildings having been lately shattered in a similar fray, and very strongly repaired, the opposite door leading to Sweeting's-rems was assailed, and its bars soon bent before the assaults of four or five strong persons. One of these being taken into the custody of a beadle, was rescued, and the attack re-commenced with success, when the opposite door was also opened by the shop keeper living in that avenue, and the Exchange WAS finally cleared at four minutes past five o'clock. Lady MoRGAN has, it appears, written a Letter to the Reviewers of her Work on hely, towards which public curiosity will no doubt be considerably ex cited. It is, we understand, to be prefixed to the next Number of 71mt Nrw Monthly Magazine, for Oetober'l.' IMPORTANT DOCUMENT• SIR GEORGE COLLIER'S REPORT ON THE SLAVE TRADE. " I feel it my duty, before I conclude this Report, to give some general understanding of what the Slave Trade really Is at I present; and I humbly hope I stun the more readily be excused this, as the Naval Force of his Majesty, which their Load,hips have been pleased to place under my conunand,is fitted expressly for the object of suppressing this detestable traffic. " England, certainly the whole world must acknowledge, has most faithfully abandoned the trade. America may be consi. dered next h► good intention ; still her measures are not yst complete, and American vessels, American subjects, and Awe rkan capital, are unquestionably engaged in the trade, though under other colours, and in disguise. Spain, by her Decrees, in consequence of her engagements with Great Britain, has relinquished the trade ; but her Colonies still carry it on in defiance of these engagements. " Holland, it is true, has entered into engagements similar to those of Spain, but in her Ciilonies also the trade is encouraged. " Poitugal, though restricted by her Treaties, to the conti nuance of the trade south of the Lbw, permits the subjects of St. Thomas and Prince Island to carry on the traffic to a very considerable extent. " But Fiance, it is with the deepest regret that I mention it, ha► continued and encouraged the Slave Trade, almost betood estimation or belief. Under pretence of supplying her own Colonies, and furnishing only the means required for her culti vation, she has her Sag protected, and British cruisers can only retire when they see her ensign ; for search being forbidden, power and force become unavailable. " Under this security, France is engrosrbit nearly the whole of the Slave Trade; and she has extended this traffic beyond what can brsupposed. In truth, France now supplies the fo reign Colonies north of the Line with Africans. Ido not ex aggerate in saying, that thirty vessels, under the colours of ;France, have, nearly at the same time, and within two or three leagues of distance, been employed slaving, without my daring to offer interruption: yet I was induced, under some circum stances, to detain vessels bearing the French flag, in the hope of checking the bold and frequent outrages committed by the French on our own coast. I will add, that within the last twelve months not lees than 60,000 Africans have been forced from their country, principally under the colours of France, and distributed between the islands of htardnique. Guadaloupe, and Cuba."—To be continued. THE ARMY. Monday, the Worcestershire Yeomanry Cavalry, under the command of Viscount Damon, met at Worcester for ass days exercise. The Worcester Militia are to assemble at Worcester on Tues day. for twenty-one days training and exercise. The sd Somerset Regiment of Militia; under the command of Colonel Sir T. B. Lexuaauxix, Bart. assembled at Wills on Tuesday hat, foe twenty-one days' training and exerche. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The East Tndis Company's ships Brampton, Providence, and Asia, arrived in the Downs yesterday. The Asia sailed from St. Helena on the 29th of July, and the Providence on the 3d of August. The Lady Carrington, it Is reported, was at St. He lena when the Providence left. The Sally, of Plytnontb, was abandoned by the crew on Sun day night, off Barnstaple, in consequence of having run foul of a sloop. The British King, Gassiness, from Quebec to Belfast, was wrecked near Anticosti, on the n6th of July ; crew and part of the materials saved. The Ulysses, from Lima to Cadia, has been taken of Cape Frio, by ao Insurgent privateer. The Industry passage vessel was lost a few days since in coming out of Boulogne : she got on the Dicker works, and went to pieces. The wreck was afterwards weighed, and got into har bour again. The crew add passengers were all saved. Branum, Sin. 21.—A large ship came ashore this morn ing at Hell.mouth, about ten miles from this place; particulars at present unknown.

Although his fit i nanity 7 a.itssa sired, as much as po p s se sib bef leto a regal splendour, yet the feelings of the French were displayed in a snanner honourable to oli r i;" . and gratifying to our Monarch, and , of coca a l his loyal subjects. rse, to The Royal yacht, accompanied by different vessels of the squadron, and two steam-packets, arrives 7. the roads of Calais about four o'clock; b ut t i ler — , 1 " not heing sufficient water in the harbour to permit entrance of large vessels, his MAJE STY came eitshit-; in one of the pilot-boats, attended by cliff erent sonages of his suite. On his landing he sainted - 1 i; it:altitude of persons, French and English, asses* to witness his arrival, with that peculiar grace m a i affability for which he is justly proverbial, and were never displayed to greater advantage tha t% this interesting occasion. After walking some e as . Lance on the pier, he ascended his carriage, *hi c k had been some time in waiting for him, and pr o . ceeded at a very slow pace (by his own express nrdel to Dessin's Hotel. The streets in the course of bl a progress had been previously covered with fine sa a w, and the whole way was lined with the military, tli s 2d Regiment, one of the finest in the French service, corn manded by the Duke de CER Rs, who of course pre. sented arms, and shewed his MAJESTY every mark* respect. The KING appeared delighted with his recep. Lion; and the number of his subjects who greeted him in a foreign land with the most unequivoc a l marks of loyalty, could not fail to heighten the pl eb sure which he seemed to experience. In the evenis s , at eight o'clock, his MAJESTY entered the Thetas; and short as was the notice, much praise is due * the Manager for the arrangements he had madt.. Thf askon was really most tastefully decorated wo k mirrors, lustres, &c. the esterior ornamented trek elegant drapery. His Masesev sat in the cesn front of the box.

Orchestra struck up our Natioal Anthem, " GOD save the KtNia,” which was ads:;. rah'' , performed, and the words sang enthusiastically by the whole audience, both French and English.— Shouts of applause followed, and a universal m il rang through the House. His Mme.sry, lenrere, who was evidently most sensibly affected by theta'. ings evinced towards him in a foreir land, motive! that he wished to decline its repetition. The audience undet stood him, and after another hearty coogres lation, they wok their seats, and the performs= proceeded : it was admirable ; the dresses were Ins tiful, and appeared to be all new. The Kim es delighted and astonished to find such excellent pis formance in a small town like Calais: it is mem sary to say that the House was crowded to excess,. On retiring, his MAJESTY gracefully saluted the* dience, and left the House universally applauded, ANOTHER ACCOUNT. At three o'clock the Royal yacht came to anchor in our roads, and in half an hour after his Vtugsri landed from a pilot-boat in the harbour, and ware, ceived by the Mayor, Prefect, Monsieur le Maga JUMILLAC, le Duc de BIANCAS, and le Duc deli CHARTRES, who conducted his AJESTY to his Ca. riage,which was waiting his arrival on theca, near the column.

It was three o'clock before the Royal squadris came to its moorings, and the water being thee* low-water mark, some more time elapsed bean the arrangements were completed for setting his %on on laud. We had bad the ships in view for about two hours before, an interval of time that was most kwlj employed in making preparations at Calais five" ceiving him. Almost up to the last moment there seemed to prevail the greatest uncertainty at to his destination. More than one false alarm of his eosin was given in the course of Monday, and in the et. ternoon of that day, when it was ascertained that the Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord LONDOYDEBRY gone on to St. Omer's, we took it for granted t h a t he was going to Ostend, and that they wereto O tt 'him at Brussels.

Sir BENJAMIN, announced that his MAJssA might be expected by two o'clock, and as w e coo hear the guns filing a salute from the English CO° about nine, it was supposed th&t he was then getej under way.
