SO.—The 'lush-lass Observer of - yesterday has again news from Constantinople of the lOds of August. They mention the death of the Greek Patriarch, and the choice of the Bishop of Cluileedeuia as his successor. No news of any decisive battle in favour either of the Tacks or-the Greeks had been received, but the advance of the Turks through Thessaly to the Blom* was fully confirmed. CONSTABITINOPLE, AUG. W.—Perfect tranquil lity still prevails here. We have nothing new from the Morea. The Egyptian flotilla having joined the Turkish tint, the latter bailed ter the Mores on the 23,l July. Lord Srrangford had a conference a week ago with the Reis Effendi, with a view to induce the Porte, Ist, To acquaint Russia by a Note with the nomination of the 'impeders ; 2.1, 'l'o send a ne gociater to Kamidke, to treat, us Russia desired, with M. de Tatischeff. The Porte refused, and it is feared that it will not be brought to consent. Yet some hope that fanaticism and pride will yield to a spirit of conciliation. Tho number of rioters and mutineers who were executed, imprisoned, or banished during the dis turbances in July, is estimated at between four and five thousand. It was made known that it' the live 0: tars did not expel from among them the authors of these terrible disorders, the Sultan would make use of the power given him by the Sultan Sunman, and disband these regiments. SWITZERLAND, AUG. 3l.—The Committee of :Commerce bas presented a new fteptirt to the Diet. The majority adhered to their first Report, proposing the establishment of divers import duties, the pro . duce or manufactures of those countries whose eus• tom-house laws arc injurious to the productions of erland. The Committee has, however, made some modifications in the first proji.m. The minority have given two opinions. The one 4)ll:sent/Al by M.

By this means the guard of the King is confided wholly to the troops of the line and the national militia; so that all the pomp of the Guards, and the splendour which surrounded the Palace, have vanished. The patriot, Mendisabal, u volunteer, of Via I frame, was taken on the 2611 by the factious; great uneasiness. was conceived ,lest he should:be sacrificed like the volunteers of Durango, &c. who jai° the lama of their enemies. The patriot*, therefore, begavd-she authorities to take she nearest relations et the atiiifref site liactione art holsters for thar Ii of Medisabisl, and the I oiitical chief ut St. Sebastian has accordingly arrested a relation of the Cures Go rostridi and Ezeira. There is no doubt that these reprisals will become general and :,:eiprocal, which will place in a very eutical situation many peace able inhabitants, who have taken no share in the quarrels of the two parties. Gcn. Mina arrived at Sarragossa on the 22d, with 100 horse. Bessieres (the Frenchman) who commanded the troops of the Trappist iu the affair of Agerbe, is dead of his wounds. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aun. 10.—The Greek Patri arch died on the Bth of this month, .Mier a lung and painful disease, the dropsy. Ills obsequies were performed to-day with touch order and dignity ; many thousands (Greeks) followed him to the tomb. According to ancient custom, the body had been pre viously exposed on the patriarchal throne in the cathedral, and more titan 8,000 persons went there to kiss the hands and feet of the chief of their church. Oa the evening of the same day, the Grand Seig nior permitted the choice of a successor to be pro ceeded in. At the some time, the Greek Bishops were set at liberty, who had been detained as host ages for some months in the Seraglio. The Pura has informed the Syr-d that, it' its choice flails ott any one of these Bishops, it will be approved of without difficulty, provided the candidate possesses the five following. qualities—experience, prudence, skilfulness, learning, and filelity to the Government. The names of 63 Bishops were afterwards read its the Synod, of which three were designed as candle dates, uniting the necessary qualities. The repre sentatives of the Gavel:3 at Constantinople, amount ing to 600 voters, proceeded then to the election, and their choice fell on one of the six Bishops, viz. the 1 0 After the Diet had again deliberated, thirteen votes were in favour of the principle adopted by the Inajority., most tt.:th the ret.crve of the ratification of their .cnestituciit:;.

People are curious to see, whether': in such a case the Defenders of the Faith will be received in France with their arms: if this should happen, which is. not probable, the Constitutionalists ore said to be resolved to pursue them, even into the Drench territory, where this faction had its origin. It would inevitably compromise the troops which form the cordon, who will nut permit threigncra . to violate the French territory. On the other hand,in: ease of u defection or defeat of the Army of the Faith, it would be impossible to place the soldiers, who might be - repulsed, under quarantine, the laza ret of 13e.huliia having only WU places, which are almost daily occupied by travellers of the two na tion s, and that of Aldudes 40 places. It will be cu rious to see whar measure the French Government will adopt towards these fugitives; the only persons likely to introduce the plague into France, by their uncleanliness and wretchedness. It has been lately reported that the lazarets were to be closed ; and evil-minded persons have thought fit to believe that this measure was merely intended to facilitate, to the zugitives of the Army of the Faith, the entrance into France, by removing every obstacle. The military preparutions which have been observed at Bayonne, tor some days past—the arrival from the interior of artillery and baggage horses, cannon and ammuni tion—the activity employed in making several mil lions of musket cartridges—the intended occupation of the position of Macrae, by come companies of troops which are going to encamp there—and the placing of four brigades of artillery at dillilrent points, seem to announce, not any hostile ituentions towards Spain, as has ben said, but rather measures of precaution, which are very necessary in our situ ation with respect to our neighhuurs, who are per kilns now engaged in battle. per leapsEre courier Blentlel, who arrived here a week ago w i t ;; commercial letters tin- Spain, front l'aris, was stopped by it e factious between Iron and To losa; after burning his ne..,. , atchei, and stealing the money which he bad about Lim r his traveiling expenera, they fat him go, dire:awn:lg to ptis hint to death if he should come to Spain a second time.

The Synod confirmed this election inane. diately, which it is hoped will meet the approbation of the Sultan, and that to-morrow the new patriarch will be clothed with the Caftan.

In particular ha recontinctidt.a the abolition of a heavy tax, whirl the Greeks of the capital, as well as the Jews and Armenians, are obliged to pay every munch to the arsenal. The Grand Seignior received this letter very graciously, and even betitre the death of the patriarch the tax was abolished by a finnan.
