1. /' a great events, amidst the obstacles the ministry have to surmount. Besides the military measures, great praise is given to those of police, and the banishment of several ecclesiastics of the highest rank. It is thought the Government will not stop here, being resolved not only to combat to the ut most the enemies of the new system, but still further to consolidate it. The Erpectador and other Jour tals state, that the Minister of Finance has given orders to fit out several ships of war, to cruise from the Straits of Gibraltar to Cape de Crux on one side, and on the other from Cape Finisterre to Passages. The measures of the Minister of Finance do not• give so much satisfaction. In fact, unless a stable and solid system is established, and means found to raise the taxes regularly, every thing will be embar rassed. It is nut only the revolted provinces, which have long since ceased to..contribute to the public treasury, but almost all the others show a backward. vets iu this respect; which threatens to lead the Government to its total ruin. Preparations are making here to receive the In. Tanta of Portugal, who will arrive on Sunday. This morning the Commander of the Halberdiers drew out this corps, consisting of about HO indivi duals, and made 64 quit the ranks, whom he ordered to lay aside their uniform and arms, and to present themselves. to the Captain-General, where . they would receive their passports, to repair to the Pi which would be signified to them, and where they any settle as retired from the service. This guard of the King was chiefly composed of Nobles, and did duty in the apartments of the royal family. 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. Beiroesic, SEPT. 3.—A1l our accounts from the neighbouring provinces of Spain state, that the Con stitutionalists display great activity, and are pre paring seriously to attack Quesada, and make his defeat certain. 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 luippen, which is not probable, the Constitutionalists are said to he resolved to pursue them, even into the French territory; where this faction had its erigia. It would inevitably Compromise the troops which form the cordon, who will not permit foreigners to violate the French territory. On the other baud, in *see of a defection or defeat of the Army of the Faifli, it would be impossibld to place the soldiers, who might be repulsed, under quarantine, the laza ret of Behobia having only 100 places, which are almost daily occupied by traveller. •se the two nu. , tuns, and that of Aldudes 40places. It will be cu rious to see what measure the French Government will adopt towards these fugitives; the only persons likely to introduce the plague.into France, by their uncleanliness and wretelteduess. It has been lately reported that the lasarets were to be. closed; and evil-minded persons have thaught fit to believe that this measure was merely intended to facilitate, to the fugitives of the Army of the Paith, the entrance into France, by removing every obstacle. The military preparations which have been observed at Bayonne, for sonic days past—the arrival from the interior of artillery anebaggage horses, cannon and ammuni tion —the activity employed in making several mil lions of musket cartridges—the intended occupation of time position of Marrac, by come companies of troops which are going to encamp therm—and the placing of tour brigades of artillery at datrent points, seem to announce, not any huatile lineations towards Spain, as has been said, hut rather measure. of precaution, which are very necessary in our aitu- awn with respect to our neighbours, who are per haps now engaged in battle. ; file courier .Blendel, who arrived here a week , age with commercial letters for Spins, from Parie, was stopped by the facttous between Iru*.iod " ,+l• *oft lboa, Sat:vases - , and Panspeluns, havesltrairkert irsfere3pted, SG that our Iverchants have Asiittio WS* fro m places for some days past; the mat** asronne are like wise intercepted. . si The secret committee it' Bayonne meets very frequently, and has shown for,some days past extra ordinary %cavity. -Birpressea• are often seen to set off for Spain.

CONSTANTINOPL.Z, AUG /. 30...111C Greek Patri arch died on the Bth of this mouth, after a lung and painful disease, the dropsy. His obsequies were performed to-day with much order mid dignity; many thousands (Greeks) Gamed him to the tomb. According to ancient custom, the body bad been pre viously esposed on the patriarchal throne in the cathedral, and more than 5,000 persons went there to kiss the hands and feet °file chief of their church. On the evening of the same day; the Grand Seig nior permitted the choice Of a successor to be pro ceeded in. At the same time, the Greek Bishops were set at liberty, who had been detained as host ages f" some months in den• Seraglio. The Porte has informed the Synod that, if its choice falls on any one of theta Bishops, it will be approved of without difficulty, provided ebei gandidete possesses the five following qualities—enpfrience, prudence, skilfulness, lefarning, and fidelity tei the Governeleet. The names of 63 Bishops wee afterwards read in the Synod, of which three wets designed as candi dates, uniting the necessary qualities, The repre sentatives of the Greeks at Couatantinople, amount ing to 600 voters, proceeded shin to the election, and their choice fell on one of Om si; Bishops, viz. the Bishop of Chaleedunia, who was formerly Bishop of Smyrna. The Synod confirmed this election imme diately, which it is hoped. will inset the approbation Of the Sultan, and that to-morrow the new patriarch will be clothed with the Caftan. Some days before his daittli. the patriarch wrote an affecting letter to the Sultan, in which he reemn mended the Greeks to his throat. in particular he ecommended the abolition of a heavy tax, which the Greeks of. the capital, as welt es the Jews and Armuniens, are 'Allied to pay every month to the arsettaL The Grand Seigaior received this letter very graciously, and Oven Wore the death of tae potaiarcii the tax was abolished by a finnan.

Vrauwa, Avo. 30.—The Attolritsts Observer ot yesterday has again news from Constantinople Athe iegi of August. They mention the death of the ' Greek Patriarch, and the choice of the Bishop of Chalcedtmia as his successor. No news of any decisive battle in favour either of the Turks or the Greeks had been received, but the advance of the Turks through Thessaly to the Mores was fully confirmed. Ceestaurixort.s., Ave. 10.—Perfeet tranquil. My stall prevails here. We have nothing new *the the Mores.

Lord Btra'ngford had a conference a week se with the Reis Effendi, with a view to induce the Porte, Ist, Tu acquaint Russia by a Note with the nomination of the Hospodars ; 4d, To send a ne gociator to Kamidicet, to treat, as Russia desired, with M. de - Tathicheff. The Porte refused.. end 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. The number .ef rioters and mutineers who were execute!, imprisoned, or banished during the dis turbances in July, is estimated at between four and five thousand. It was made known that if the five Ortars 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 and disband these regiments. Swtrzsaitue, Ave. 31.—The Committee of Commerce has presented u new Report to the Diet. The majority adhered to their tint Report, proposing the establishment of divers import duties, the pro duce or manufactures of these countries whose eus tont-house laws are injurious to the prouctions of • Swat erland. The Committee has, however, made sonic modifications in the first projt.c.t. The minority have given two opinions. The one presented by M. Brann, who persists in advocating a systetn without restrictions, and the other by M. who would limit the import duties to wine and cotton. A lter the Diet had again deliberated, thirteen votes were in favour of the principle adopted by the majority, most with the reserve of the ratification of their constituents. The Deputies of Z irich, Bale, Geneva. Uri, • SAiweitz, Undcrwald, Neuchatel, and Valais, se coriliir• to their instructions, took the *natter ad re. j;:rehilum.
