August 25.) THE BRITI S H PRE S S. - LONDON, TUESDAY, Sammie& 4, !Hl.' 04, The arrival oT the Awls Papers .f Friday last contributes but little towards divesting the ques tion of a war between Russia and Turkey of the anxious uncertainty which has for so long • time enveloped it. An article of intelligence from Vienna asserts positively that Baron STROGONOFF bad not left the harbour of Constantinople on the 91st of July, and in allusion to the opinion which had attrOnted the delay of his departure to the prevale of contrary winds, the writer observes that tbeie winds are of a political nature. Nothing (games to us front Constantinople in a form that _ can command our confidence. Facts are either suppressed or distorted through interest, prejudice, or ignorance, and we therefore ordinarily find the representation of one day ups any given transac tion, contradicted or modified by the statement of the next. To this day we have not had an abstract of the Russian aliirsuaam upon which we can rea son as true —our knowledge of the conduct par. seed by Baron Svaocomors in his intercourse with the Porte depends upon inconsistent and conflict ing narratives—and equally unsatisfactory seem to be the accounts which have reached us through the German Papers of the manner in which the Porte has more recently expressed itself upon the subject of the oillietalluia. From some we learn that the Porte, anxious to wai►e the indignity offered to it by the requisition of •o answer within the 'beet space of eight days, sent on the day limited in the demand of the Russian Cabinet a ve►ba! answer to Ba►otr STRO. GOROFF. acceding to the terms prescribed in the aftimaistas, with an intimation that it would communicate its answer in writing in two days. From others we collect that the answer of the Porte was given in writing in the first instance, but that it was a few hours too late, and that the Ambassador, pursuing the strict letter of his instructions, refused to accept it. A third class of informants state, that the an swer, although offered in writing and in sufficient time to be strictly within the letter of the Russian requisition, was yet couched in terms so evasive that Baron STROGONOF/ declined to become the medium if transmitting the document to his Court. This diversity of statement precludes the possibility area *suing upon the point ; but we think it impossible to believe that Baron STIOGO norr would undertake the serious responsibility of plunging his country into a wsr, solely on account of the delay of a few hours or days on the part of the Turkish Government, if he had any good cause to believe that eventually the Porte meant to accede in every particular to the requisitions prescribed by the Cabinet of Pe.. tersburgh. A doubt seems to be very reasonably entertained of the ability of the Turkish Government to con trol the fanaticism of its subjects, and maintain the terms of a prescribed peace. The disposition of the soldiery and populace of Constantinople is said to be in favour of a war with Rus►ia, and the Govern. tacit seems to have hitherto, though perhaps 1111111-• tentionally, countenanced this spirit, by its constant exertions in Asia to collect a formidable army for the purpose of repelling the Russians. The power of the Ottoman Empire lies principally on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus, and a force, remark able at least from its numbers, is said to have been levied there for the protection of the• Eur opean Provinces. Fanaticism, with a national ha tred of the Russians, are the moving p►inciplea of •this mass; but what can they achieve in opposition t o the steady valour of ■ discipliued army of Euro peatt veterans ? The Skinister packet, from Lisbon to Falmouth, Li. , brought letters from Lisbon of the lid of Au ;:ust, in which tin account is given ofa disagreeable fteurrence which lately took place in that city. A teneral review of the Portuguese troops, under the Orders of General SEPULYIDA, the Military Com mandant of the city of Lisbon, took place in the 'pine of the Terreiro do Rico, in the presence of lie Kona, who had placed himself at one of the *indows of the Royal Palace. Before the review toacluded, the KING being in conversation with tk•reral persona of rank, accidentally turned his bui kto the troops in the square. One of the first 41 *:ms, it is said, who notictti the circumstance ' ll, General SEPULVIDA, who immediately ob .ised totem! of the offices'', slant the Kura had ',aced himself in that position, in order to shew his contempt and disgust of the titttiy. This becatot the signal for a general uproar throughout emir: regiment under review, which vociferated free every side ,‘ Fora, fere POW,of!) This exclaim: tion was addressed to the KING. So great was the tumult at this moment, that apprehensions were entertgined that some acts of violence would be committed on the KING, and all these around him. After a abort interval, however, the KING succeed ed in making himself audible, and assured the troops that nothing was further from his intentions than that of being guilty fit' what was attributed to him. The letters add, that the declaration of the KING had the erect of subduing the anger of the troops. We have received New York Papers to the 30th July. They contain a variety of intelligence from South America. The accounts from Peru are not of so late a date as those brought by the Andro mache frigate. given in our paper of yesterd .o.

She applied to those who had the disposal of her happiness in their hands, to know if it were possible to unite Love and Mammon; but the cruel Fates had steeled their hearts, and they gave their decision in the negative.

HORNCASFLR FAIR. Ho►ueastle late fair has been distinguished by au ram eedented degree of dullness. Although the show of horsey was smaller tbs. ever before bourn, yet the demand by ao means equalled the supply, fur the number of purchasers barely amounted to one-third of those usually attendant on former occasions. Blood horses experienced the best sale, bat a reduction of from forty to fifty per cent. from last year's prices, and many returned without even an offer being made fur them. Couat Baiiiani, from Vienna, pay_ chased several blood horses. The beast fair was thinly attesuled, both by buyers and sellers, and very little business was done.
