SEPTEMBER IS. The King his appointed the Duke de la Chstre, First Gentleman of the Chamber, to compliment the King of &glint, on his landing at Calais. He set out yesterday. The most singular rumours are in cirealation, relative to the project of the Great Powers to take measures for insuring tranquillity in the interior of I:ermany and in holy, in the event of a icor taking place between Russia and the Porte. It is with this view it is said, that • Prusio-Saxon army will assemble on the banks of the Elbe, whilst on Anstro-Bavarian army will tale up its cantonments on the banks of the Rhine. Fifty thousand men are assembled in the environs of Berlin for the purpose of exercise during the autumn. The assemblage of so considerable a force gives rise to innumerable conjectures. The reserves and the landwehr df the first and second levy have received orders to recall their men absent on leave, so that they may have joined their regi ments in the beginning of Septeuther.--(Gazelte de Lauseene.) It bus been remarked that the English Consuls at the Russian Ports hastened the departure of British vessels which were in lading. A letter from Lyons of the 14th States that executions continue to take place in Turin ; that of Laneri, a Lieutenant in the royal car hineers, was attended with the most melancholy consequences. His wife, seeing herself left with Alisee children totally unprovided for, the little property the father possessrd having been confiscated, died of a brutes' heart. •Itja said the answer of the Porte to the Russian iihispeAmm was drawn in the Chanct-Ilery of the itelallEffendi by a renegade, mern , •(!

The Nuremberg Gaseue endeavours to refute the rumour of en alliance between Sweden and Turkey. It asserts that such a statement can only have been invented by persons who wish to degrade the Cabinet of Stockholm in the eyes of all Eu rope ; that the alliance of Sweden with Prussia and Turkey might well have formed, thirty years since, a counterpoise to Ramis; but that such an alliance at the present time, without being of service to the Porte. would only draw the greatest misfortunes on Sweden; and that filially Sweden, no less than Prussia. feels it is its interest to icrep on good terms with Russia. trrureLao, isrmassa 10. It is affirmed the King has received letters from St. Petersburgh s which announce the departure of the Emperor for the southern provinces of his vast empire.

SPANISH PAPERS. 111a011119, SITTZMIIIR L An express from Saragossa, which arrived here yesterday, gave rise to reports which, in oar opi ►►ion, do pot rest on any foundation, since, from the Proclamation of the Political chief of that city, it only appears that tl►cee are ill-disposed persons, notwilh•tn►tding the had success of Merino, and others of his stamp, pretend to snatch from us the sacred code which is the idol of virtuous minds. [Here follows the Proclamation, which his been already published.] It will not Le long before we shall have data to clear up the expressions of this Paper, mean time every body is forming conjectures. Gen. Reigo is gone to Lerida, by order of the Government, and Geo. Muted& has taken the military command for the resew. This evening the troops of the garrison have been wider arms, and tiumerons detachments of the na tional guard have patroled the streets of this capi tal; it supposed that the cause of these disposi tions is connected with the events at Saragossa, of which we have spoken above. It seems that the Permanent Deputation of the Cortes is to meet to-tiiglit for the purpose of in flouting itself of the result of the journey of the Minister of the Colonies to the Grange, sod to take the necessary measures accordingly. Several titters's, it is said, will present to-night a representation to the Municipality, that this body may request his Majesty to return to this capital. Saturday eveltiog the Ministers of State sent passports to Meyers. Echeverria and Revenga, the deputies from Columbia, who came to this capital to treat with our Government : these gentlemen will set out on Sunday, inid M. Zee will shortly de part for Paris. It is raid that the reasons of the Government for this step is the breaking of the ar mistice. MADRID, SEPTEMfiEII 5.

It seems decided that General Rodrignee will not be Minister at %I.'ar; yet it is said that the Se. cretaries insist on the resignation which they have made. %%'e respect their motives, but we should regret at so critical a moment to see u total change in the Ministry ; the more so as we are persuaded that while the present Ministers remain at their posts, the ill-disposed, of whatever class they may be, will not succeed in eludiug the vigilance of the Government and dirtut bung the public tranquillity. It tins been said to-day that the Constitutional Munk wilily or this city had offered to lay before the King what the citizens assembled yesterday evening requested. This is not correct —the Municipality offered to represent to his Majesty that it would be expedient that he should return to this city, in order that the public tranquillity might not be interrupted, but us to the other part of the petition, asking tl.e publication of the lessons which bad induced the Govetitment to send General Reign to Lerida, the P:inctpality decided that .

The most interesting portion of their contents is a copy of a Manifesto issued by the GRAND SILIGNOR. justifying his conduct with respect to the Greek Insurgents, and promising perfect security of property and life to such of the Greeks as may have abstained from insurrection, or have proved their repentance for past errors by returning to their obedience. This Manifesto is addressed to his Visits and other persons in autho rity. It commences by boasting in somewhat pompous and certainly exaggerated terms, of the benefits which all the subjects of the Porte, who are not Mahometans, have derived from the protection of its Government. Bat of all three favoured and happy people the Greeks were most eminently distinguished by the affectionate regard of the Sublime Porte, and in proportion us they were advanced beyond other nations as the peculiar objects of the divine mercies vouch-afed from the Turk, so much the deeper have thej sunk into the vice of ingratitude by their present opposition to the Government. It is, no doubt, much to be lamented that the Greeks should have been so blind to their peculiar felicity; but so it is that they. sharing the opinions of the other nations of Europe, foolishly conceived that they were oppressed by the most debased sod grinding tyrsimy that ever formed the lot of moo. kind, sod impelled by this feeling, they disclaimed " the shield of mercy and clemene," with whieb the Porte had covered them. The SULTAN, how• ever, now declares that it is Iris "sublime will's that the infatuated Greek nation should still taste the blessings of his protecting power, and his Sub lime Highness therefore very earnestly com mands that the innocent and iniaceable people should receive protection and safety. lie admits, indeed, that his wishes in this respect have been occasiomilly violated in the most flagrant manner, that the properties of the Greeks, however in nocent, have been seized, their persons in jured, and their churches despoiled, but he de 110411CeS the severest punishments upon all persona who shall hereafter presume to contravene his com mands, and endanger the safety of his peeple. Toe energ y with which the SULTAN reiterates his wishes proves his sincerity ; but the events that have occurred in Constantinople, under the very rye of the Cost: urn. sit, would raise a doubt of his ability to enforce his commands. We are happy, how ever, to perceive in the Government such a symp tom of justice; and we Nadler learn, by accounts from Constantinople of the 18th of August, that since the 4th of that mouth the tranquillity of the capital bail not been disturbed. Accounts from Slop us, of the 4111, say that attempts bad been re- peeled in that town to renew the former excesses, but that the authorities had sufficient energy and strength to suppress the riotors, and that several Turks had been decapitated, in proof of the reso lution of the Government to give efficacy to its coinnumdt. By way, we suppose, of preserving the balance of ponce between the contending putter, severs! Greeks of distinction, inhabitants of Smyrna, were at the same time seised, and conducted as prisoners to Constantinople, under a charge of having conspired with the insurgents to promote the great object of the deliverance of Greece.

Spanish Papers ha►•e been received to the 7th instant. Sinister reports from Saragossa had reached Madrid on the 4th. and excited an alarm in that capitol. In the evening the troops in gar . - risen were under arms, and the national guards were called to patrol the streets. The night, how ever, passed over quietly. Considerable anxiety was expressed for the return of the KING to the capital, as the means of ensuring its bunquillity. At the Meeting of the Proprietors of the Bank of England on Thursday, a Proprietor asked, if the report that it was in the contemplation of the Bank to reduce the rate of interest on their dis count to 4 per cent. were founded iu feet? to which question the Governor declined to give a direct answer. " He expressed his fears that were he to give premature information in the manner required at times, it could rather aggravate than diminish the evil of speculation alluded to by the Hon. Pro prietor. The Directors would disgrace their office were they to divulge such matters as were under their consideration, and be was only perforating his duty iu preserving silence upon questions like the present. He would, however, conjure the Hon. Proprietor and the public, to rety no attention to the idle rutnour3 which were occasionally afloat upon matters of this kind." Although the Direc tors may not have come to any decision on this ►ub ject, it would seem from these observations that it has been under consideration.

" If iu some places the Greeks have succeeded in rising against my Sublime Government, to which they are *objects, and which treats them with so much lenity, my great Empire continues (amok, he given to the Almighty !) to be the Empire of Nlithomet, and my people the people of Ahmed. By the grace, and with the assistance of God, the *fender of our faith and of our people, as well lbs by the blessings of the spiritual - help of our 4..egtslator and Sublime Plophet, my Sublime 'Porte has been informed of the insurrection at the very moment of its breaking oat. It has therefore, without delay, adopted proper measurer, and caused at various times paternal exhortations and instruc tions to be addressed to the individuals of every tank of the said Greek nation, as well by the proper authorities appointed for that special purpose, as also through the Patriarch. it has exhorted them to continue in time way of fidelity and loyalty, tied within the limits of submission and obedience; and it has also fully ocquitted itself of all the du ties of mercy and clemency : ou the other hand it , has inquired into the conduct of those who, taking a share in the revolt, have rejected every sentiment of fCptilliffel", a n d 'Wier • previous conviction it has inflicted upon them the necessary punishment. " But they hive not sppreciated the clemency and mercy which have been evinced towards them, and they have not listened to the counsels and ex bortations which have been addressed to them.— Their pride and their revolt tusking on the contrary every day farther progress, my Sublime Porte con sidered only of the means of maintainiug the order and security of the State, and of restoring the tranquillity of its inhabitants. Superior orders have in consequence been transmitted into may well. I defended provinces, bearing the power. in virtue of a Sublime Fetwa which proceeds from the brilliant law, of punishing those Reyes in full revolt who dale to combat against the islansites, of seititas their properties, anti making their families captive; I , " My sublime will being pronosuced foe the asp servance of the principle, that those subjects who conduct themselves in a peaceable and tranquil manner, occupying themselves with their own affairs only, or those who having once 'become guilty of sedition or revolt, shall have returned since iuto the paths of submission and a sincere repentance, shall be placed as before under the bensfieeeit protection and shield of my Sublime Porte ; and although I do not suffer any action op posed to this will manifested upon my part, have learned in a positive matuter that in some places this principle has not been observed. Violence has been employed against peaceable and defenceless subjects who have takin no part in the revolt, and sonic persons Lave had the temerity to seize upon their properties, their families, and their chinches. It requires no further declaration to make it known that such a conduct is conformable neither to law nor to reason, that it is diametrically opposed to the principles uuifornsly pursued in my great empire, and that it is, in every particular, in cositiatlietion to the Divine will, as well as to my Imperial order. It is consequently manifest that such conduct is dictated only by men who arc incapuble of distinguishieg circum stances and relations. " Therefoie it is that I am now about to send particular commands, with reference to this Matter, to the three divisions of Anatolia and of kontelia. My will is then, that you Vizirs, Mirimirsises, Mollas.Judges,Sub-Judges, sad other Authorities, should invite known this mintier of viewing affairs M all 'daces oithin your districts and jurisdictions, and that you should hasten to intimate to every parson who tu iy have the audacity to attack peace• able and innocent subjects, who manifest no Fedi. tious intentions. and carry about no vigils of revolt, that he shall be responsible to one for hip coos duct in that respect. You must elicit all your cares to relieve peaceable subjects from all vexation, and take all necessary measures that they may per. lectly enjoy my high 'imperial protection, and that they who may be guilty of such excesses shall be severely 'towelled on the spot.
