LONDON, TUESDAY, Sri'l EMCLR 96, 1&26. We have received the French Morning and Evening Papers of Saturday. By an article in the Journal des 'Malta, it appears that the conferences at Akermann, be t wren the Russian and Turkish Ministers, have been con ducted in so unsatisfactory a manner to the former, that L' d .114 • I 1 I " F 1) 1, . ;; ,~ ,~ ~~t ` ^ l they have formally delivered a note, stating all the matters ',Attired by Russia from the Porte, to which they have re quested a definitive answer to be obtained by the Turkish Cornnissioners from the Divan aikido a specific period, namely, the 7th of October. In ease the answer should not be satisfactory, it is said that the Russian Commie samers will suspend the conference, until they receive further orders from their Sovereign. The Turkish Com missioners have sent this note by a courier to Constan tineple. It is supposed that if Rusaia should not receive a satisfactory answer by the time limited, the Russian army will then pass the Pruth, and take military occupation of Moldavia and irallachia. The correspondent of the Julien°, des Debut', in addition to this intelligence, states that the enumeration of the grievances complained of by the Russians, relative to the oppressions exercised against the Wallachians, Moldavians, Servians, and those Creeks who have received letters of protection from Russia, does not comprehend any thing speriall. concerning the actual insurrection of the GrteLs; but that mention is made of the outrages committed upon the Creek Church, of which his Imperial MAJEsev is the protector. in fact, k nothing more than a repetition of all the notes which bad been previously presented by N. de STROGONOCE duties his embassy. Whoever considers the nature of tilers mks may judge whether, from so furious a character as that of Sultan Matt morn, a pacific answer may be ex pected. The Jour/rah/es Dtliati, however, is assured that, even it it should come to an actual military occupation of Walachia and Moldavia by the Russians, still that Power will declare their only end to be to protect those Christian countries from the vexations of the Turks, and to maintain the constitutions and national authorities which they have a tight to enjoy. As Russia will not find any Turkish troops in those provinces, sine will nut be brought into hostile rented with the Turks, nor will she consider herself to be at war with the Ottoman Empire; on the contrary, she ofrer to resume the conferences in some city upon the Danube. But it is probable, says the French Editor, that, considering the expense of occupying those countries, Russia will add to her former demands that of the entire independence of Wallachia and Moldavia, under a na tional Prince; and thus the secret views. of Austria upon st e n ae i l is will be frustrated. In this ease, should the Turks attempt to present, on the 7th of October, an am biguous or unsatisfactory answer, it is certain that Russia will not remain inactive, but will immediately put the army of occupation on the march, which will consist of a term of 15,000 men. The season will be too far advanced pettnit Russia's keeping such a considerable body of men in the province of Ihssarabia, particularly as that army is already exhausted ; independently of the political reasons why it should take up its winter quarters at Bucharest before the middle of November. It is also stated that an army of 100,000 men, con centrattd in the environs, will take different routes towards the southern loovinees of Kiovia, Podolia, and the Ukraine. I From the ak.arr d. aU. bats.] BARCELONA, SEPT. 12. A ftightfel crime has just thrown the whole of this city into the utmost consternation. The Prior of the Convent of La Mercy, e merablt rid kind old man, was assassinated iu hit cell at 11 'eleck this rooming. It is said that the perpetrator or this deed is yoang m who confessed yesterday before his ; that he castle to see him again this morning, anti with whoni he even took chocolat:. The etime was not committed for the rake of pl .ndet, masenuch as nothing has been take* sway. This assasAnation of the chief of • convent appears therefore to have been front political motives. It is intletd rcportcd that the Prior had been very qtengly in favour of the ticegy ',mitring support to the State, a:11 that he was about to Le nominated °metal or his order :frirn la Misericarde). The Cworent of lAA Mercy is perhaps the richest of any in Ca. •,tonta.

PARIS, StPT. The au ick upon the frontiers of Russia by the Persians is an event of which but little hiss been heard at Odessa. It is reported that a division of the second army was about to march for Caucasus. We have this day learned that the .2.oih division of infantry, cantoned in the Crimea, his already moved towards Georgia, by the line of Coubart. It will be replaced by some battalions stationed in the neighbouring Governments. It is thought that other troops will be sent to reinforce the army at Gco•gia. This news will certainly not be without its influence upon the center:net% which still continue at A kermann. Letters tram Can , tan , inople to the 216 August contain no news. The port of Weisz is entirely descried. We have receive(' the Germsn Papers to the I t:h of S:ptember. The intelligence they convey respecting the Greek cause will be found interesting, although it is in some degree contradictory. IVhat with the revolts of the Egvpti.u► Paellas, and the decisive tone assumed by the Russian Commissioners, whose proceedings we have noticed elsewhere, the new ally to the body of modern reformists, Sultan MA►►s►ot:n, seems to have his hands fully occupied. The letters from Alexandria are favourable to the Greeks, while those from Corfu are, on the contrary, discouraging. The following arc extracts : SMYRNA, Auo. 22. Letters worthy of credit. dated from Alexandria, the Ist of this' month, affirm that the exchequer of the riche of Egypt is so ex hausted by the expeditions to Greece during the last three years, that he has signified to the Porte, by his agents in Constantinople, that he is unable to continue these exertions. Another unpleasant ereuntstance is added to this. Several of the Egyptians who were sent to the Mores have returned to their own country, and Pare given such a frightful description of the hardships and privations which they endured in the Mores, that whole bodies of the troops' trained in the European fashion in the camp near Cairo, ran away, for fear of being embalked for Europe. It is said that 4,000 men have deserted in this manner, who increase the insecurity which has prevailed in this country fur these two years. _ _ SEMLIN, SEPT. 9. A report it spread that the Pacha of 11'iddin, who tilled the office of Sarashier, egainst the Mores, before Retlschid Pacha, had rebelled against the l'Jrte, and invited all the Janissaries to join Itisstatdard. This report, however, merits little attention, till it shall have been confirmed front some authentic source. VIENNA, SEPT. 13. Letters from Corfu, of 21 of August, say that Ibrahim reached Tripolizza at the end of last month, without having been molested by the Greeks, in his march through the defiles between 3lessir• and Arcadia.. After a short stay at TripOlizta, he made on the Mb a great teconnuiumce in all directions, in which, as well as on. an excursion made on the let of August, by part of the garrison of Trippolisza, there was some sharp fighting, which, according to the Greek accounts in the Napoli Joutual, of ith August, ended with sune loss on both sides. Athens is still besieged by Redschid Pacha, who is said to have been joined by Omer Pacha, of Negtopnnt. After many fruitless invitations to the Patriots lying idle at Napoli, teliasten to the re. lief of Athens. Karaiskaki at length marched on the 31st of last, month with some hundred men in that direction. It is supoosAi that he w:11 endeavour to join the insurgent chiefs, N. Kriesioti and Vellaurovanioti (Vass° Braicovich), who hover about Athens, and who, now that an end is put to thur caresses at sea, have Own w robbing by land. Accounts from ,Prevesa soy that the Sultan means to convert the Aloe nines, Epirots.. actually in the field into regular troops. A tartar who hroug:tt the lirtnan on the subject, arrived on the 10th instant at Preses.i, and set out on the 11h for Lepanto, to carry tit.: cause orders to Ali Puha, the Governor. It was said at ' Presesa, that S•tli Pacha, grandson of the famous Ali Pacha, of Janina, was appointed by the Sultan to organize the Albanians as regular troops. The Greeks here and their fri.nds are in anxious expectation of the speedy_ arrival of Lord Cochrare and his expedition. It is generally affirmed that General Pon-onby, Deputy of the Lord thigh Commissioner, has received front his father-imlaw, Lord ltathutst. directions not to admit Lord Cochrane in those islands: it is also said that the fmmation of a Zatpitho-Cephalonian corps, proj ected by the Government at Napoli. will not be permitted, He being contrary to the principles of neu. trality adopted by the lonian Government. VILNNA, Sk:Pr 13.-31etaliiques, 91 2-sths ; Bank Share, ligr7. We have received liamburgli Papers to the 22i, fi which the following are extracts:— PETF.RS^2.I:IIGII, SIIPT. 9. Count 'Kaniorowsky brought the nen s of the coronation at Moscow having been solemnized on the 311. This important event was immediately announced by a salute of 101 guns from the eltudd. On the 17th Tc Dam was peril riled in the Cason Cathe dral. To-morrow will be a thanksgiving. The three days illumi nation have surpassed in magnificence every thing that ne have had since those of the entrance a the Allies into Paris in 1814. There were numerous tine transparencies and allegorical paintings, and in all quarters of the city triumphal arches, adorned with the ciphers of his Majesty and his august consort. The weather was delightful, and the streets filled with an endless line of carriages, which could scarcely move for the crowd. General Kutusow, Governor of the capital, received an Imperial Kescrirt on the oc casion, in which his Majesty commands him to announce to the inhabitants of St. Petersburgh the hippy news of the' solemnization of the coronation, and says— " To our peculiar satisfaction our beloved brother the Cesar. owitsch, Grand Duke Constantine, was present, having arrived here a few days before." Ills Majesty his been pleased to Knour the memory of tto Rus sian commanders, Field-marshal Count Rumanzow Sadnsnisky nehl.marshal Prince Swarrow Field.mitshal Prince Kestusow Smolensky, and Prince Barclay de Tully, by command_ big their names to be given to four regiments of the Russian army.

Every branch of trade appears to be making progress towards improvement, and by slow but sure steps steadily advancing to that state which every true friend to the great interests of the country must desire to see it arrive at. All the advices that we have received from the districts that have been principally suffering under the influence of the recent depression speak of its& comparatively satisfactory condition of the operatives in those distrtcts, and of the revival of business generally, in a degree that affords a reasonable expectation that their comforts will be daily returning to them, by the employment of themselves and their families. Many temporary impediments may still retard the progress of commercial amendment. Many re lapses may fairly be expected to attend so severe a disorder as the one the country is just recovering from, and no cir cumstance is more likely to produce suth a relapse than over-speculation—a repetition of the system, founded in folly and cupidity ; of excessive manufacturing, such as occurred at the latter end of 1523, the whole of IS2t, anti the commencement of t S'2s; and when the markets were so glutted that a demand could scarcely be forced at any sacrifice, the parties who had occasioned the mischief then turned round upon Ministers, and declared that ruin was before us if the. silk and other monopolies tare in• terfered with. Then arrived the period of advice and warnings to pursue the old track, and compel the inhabi tants of England to buy dear goods, when they could obtain cheap ones, for the purpose of putting money into the pockets of those who sold them. The disinterested purity of the advice was only equalled by the acts of vio lence, mischief, and blood, that were to follow its neglect. We were gravely told more than once—and we have no doubt Ministers heard the horrirying information much nftener—that the Spitalfields weavers were not a set of men to be trifled with ; that they formed a sort of colony amongst themselves, and were, when once enraged, like tigers chased by the hunters' spun.; (we are giving the warning we heard verbatim reliteratim ; whilst our hair stood on end at the appalling recital;) that spikes to an immense extent were manufactured to prevent the opera tions of cavalry in the streets (we presume a sort of por table chevaux tle fricle, made out of the iron work of their leon.s). Our risible muscles were not sufficiently forbear ing to hear to the end of these warlike preparations, or else we have not the least doubt that we could have known the desperate Vulcan, (whose forge had turned not swords into tloughthares, but teems into death warrants for the medalled ligrocs of the Peninsula and Waterloo,) whir the number - of journeymen he employed, together with every particular connected with his interest ing traffic. As to Ministers thtmselves, their hours were all numbered; the pop-guns and pistols were ready loaded, so as to prevent any further acts of mischievous policy pro ceeding from them. 'l' he discussions of the preceding Ses sions, on the various bearings of the great question that bad occupied so much of the time and attention of Par:ia ment, were concentrated in the last, and this circumstance produced the singular coalition between silk-manufacturers and landowners. So long as manufactures alone were aimed at, the poor Spitalfields weavers were left to fight their own battle, and to send forth their anathemas against liberal principles in their own way; but the moment the system verged upon the Corn question coadjutors were found to assist in the attacks against Ministers, and to echo loudly all the dreadful forebodings of the cheraux-de-frieze makers. Notwithstanding the union of these phalanxes of patriots unequivocally declaring that, if the Government would not attend to their counsel, revolution was at hand, and anarchy about to uproot all the institutions of the country, ecclesiastical and legal, commercial and military, still our legislative departmcut continues amongst UF, and Ministers, with their heads left upon their shoulders, are about to meet the new Parliament in November; and we have not yet heard of St. Paul's or Westminster Abbey being blown up. We should not have condescended to advert to the trash that we were doomed to hear in the last Spring, in the way of Intimidation, did we not anticipate a slight return of the disiemper in the ensuing Session of Parliament. The gralual, but steady, improvement in trade that is now witnessed, so much to the satisfaction of those commercial men who have only rational purposes to answer, and who only look for reasonable profits, will not satisfy the enthusiasts, who entered into the mail speculations of the period to which we have alluded; and we look forward to the probability of the time arriving, and that at no great distance, when the mania for manufactur ing will operate as strongly upon those who arc not ruined beyond redemption as ever it did. This cannot, we ima gine, go to any wide extent ; for one advantage undoubtedly resulting from the late commercial embarrassments has been, that they have done much to separate the wolves from the sheep, and to clear the market of rash adventurers, whose only hope of profit exists in some desperate specula tion ; but still there are men enough left out of the wreck to pursue the old coarse of manufacturing LO,OOO/. worth of goods for a demand of 10,000 f. worth, and who, when they are compelled to get rid of the excess at any sacrifice, will unblushingly assert that all their misfortunes and losses have arisen from British manufactures having been left without due protection. If such wanufichirers as these could receive the wholesome protection of a strait waist coat, probably the true remedy to the evil would be ap plied. These are precisely the men who talk at the corner of every street, bully and bluster, and make persons not very conversant with human nature believe that they alone are rght, and the rest of the world fools or rogues. It is our firm persuasion that the pat tics, for the most part at least, who are opposed to any alteration in the trade in corn, are some what in the came situation, and act expressly upon tl.e same principle, as the commercial speculators to whom we have particularly referred. The great lend pro prietors, which comprise " the Corinthian pillar cf the State,' hare too much at stake, even if narrow views alone actuated them (which is a libel upon them that we will never hear without contradicting), to trifle with this sulject of paramount importance. The Acts te;tiicting the trade in corn were passed under peculiar circumstances and at a period of considerable excitement. Various causes occurred to prevent the reconsideration of those Acts, and they have never been completely brought before the atten tion of Parliament : hut when that is done in the ensuing Session, and tl e c intemplated alteration is considered as a part of the moit important system of commercial policy that England ever entered upon at one time, nothing shall make us believe, until we knew the fact by sad experience, that the majority of the on nets of the soil will oppose such an alteration. They must know that the measure which is advantageous to the other great interests of the country cannot be detrimental to their own. The parties whose career it will trench upon are half-ruined farmers, who are endeavouring to retrieve the effects of their improvi dence by speculations, which the constant alternation of price under the present laws gives them an opportunity of indulging in ; and landlords, who, living beyond their maw, imagine that the present system, which leads to nominal high rents (fur, under the general restrictions on trade, they were but nominal), facilitates their opportuni ties of raising money. A simultaneous effort to create alirin may be again att.:milted by these agricultural and commercial empiric; but Ministers can now with honest pride, even in the infancy of their unrestricted system, refer to facts, and may safely assert that no danger is to he apprehended so long as it is not opposed ; for the policy of th:: Government :s the cause of the people. . CITI, MoNn Ay EVENING. The home Stock Market has not displayed any decided activity beyond that which took place at the opening, when a strong effort was made at depression, and which was so far successful as to send them down to ; they soon however, took a favourable turn, remained for a time ai 80i, and finally closed at 801, without a single circumstance, i►► the way of news or report, to occasion an operation either one way or the other. By the Leeward Island Mail, which arrived this morn ing, Caraccas Papers (the El Colon!Nano) were received to the id August, but they are wholly uninteresting in re spect of political news. Private letters from La Gutyra to the Gth August state that the Supreme Government bad determined on dispossessing General Proz of his command. In the Foreign Market there has not been so much doing as usual. The information which was posted at the North and South American Coffee-house on Saturday, of the landing of from 5,000 to 6,000 Spanish troops at Tampico, turns out to be incorrect, indeed altogether false; the pro ceedings taken to ascertain this will be best told in the fol lowing notification, which appeared at the North and South American CotfeL.-house this morning:— •' One Hundred Puuads Reward.—Whereas a fabricated letter, dated Portsmouth, 22d Sept. 11129, ant :iged • J. Bumstead,' was on Saturday last received by the master of the North and South American Coffee-hoosr ; this is to give notice, that one hundred pounds reward will be paid by Mr. Davies, master of the slid Coffee-house, to any person that ahlil gave information which shall lead to the dis:overy of the writer of the said letter. The letter may be seer. at tie bar of ;ha said Coffee-house." •' The Committee of Subscribers to this Coffee-house having had under their consideration this morcang a letter raeived by the in: on Saturday last, dated Portsmouth, 22d September, and signed ' J. Dumstettel ;' rod Mr. Davies having reported to the Committee the means he has taken to ash ertain the genuineness of the letter, by despatching a special mes , e: g:m. to Portam,ruth on Saturday even ing, the Committee are of opinion the lever is a fabrication, no such ship as the Emmel.ae Int:ing arrived off Portsmouth, nor any such person as Mr. Bamstead (who is a respect dila merchant at Boston) having landed there. Mr. Davies having perceived, on Saturday, that doubts were entertained of the genuineness of the :cute, appears to have taken tiro most prompt and active measures for detecting the fabrication.' From this it will be seen that Mr. Davies took the earliest possible means in his power to detect the imposition, by sending an intelligent individual down to Portsmouth, who was employed the whole of Sunday in endeavouring to find some clue to the letter. The only circumstance, however, which he learned was, that an individual had landed from the Lady Wellington Packet from Havre, which individual was known to have put a letter into the Post-office at Ports. mouth, and had immediately proceeded for London. No, doubt the parties who undertook this stock-jobbing hoax took the necessary pretautions to avoid detection. The de viser of the forgery thought to make a good thing of it; but, as the manufacture of the commodity was of such a doubtful character, little credence was given to it, and its effl:et, therefore, on the Market, was of a very trivial nature. Mexican Bonds, which opened this morning at 64, have fluctuated from I» to ‘-2 per cent., finally closing at 612. There has been something doing in Colombian, which have altogether varied about 1 per cent.; at the close of the Market they may be quoted at 354, 36. Chilian Bonds are rather feverish commodities at this moment ; doubts arc renewed as to the approaching dividend not being paid , but :roe the smallness of the amount, for the sake of the bondholders, it is to be wished they may find an agent able and willing to make the advance, should delay occur in their arrival: their closing price was from 38 to 40. Greek and Spanish arc nearly the same as last, with a very dull , market. In Shares there is little doing. Del Monte have gone down to 90 disc"unt. Brazilian are at 9to 10 premium. The Corn Market was much thronged this morning, purchasers considering, ❑o doubt, that from the gitantity of eats which had arrived during last week in the river— within a fraction of 4.0,000 quarters—prices would go down; such, however, has net been the case, for they fully sup ported their last week's quotation. It is now tolerably clear that plenty will be ensured without such a woful depression as was anticipated, and indeed it would seem questionable whether oats will not advance rather than re cede further in price. Sorely his Majssty's Ministers will have little trouble in vindicating a measure, the advantage of which is CO apparent. Wheat is, if any thing, a shade lower, while other commodities retain their last quotations. By the Lc'ward Island mail we have intelligence from • La Guavra, of the 6th August. Tho letters appear chiefly filled with rumours respecting the march of troops against Paez, but they are so vague and contradictory, that we be lieve there have been no military movements whatever. The information we have received tends to show the determination of the Supreme Government to put down the insurrection (as it is now termill) of Paez. He is reported to hate proceeded to the banks of tl e Apure, to levy troops, and prevail on the Command ants to join his cause, which seems on the wane, as several letters mention that the desertion of the troops wi,st considerable. The rumrairs, however, are too loose for us to attach much importance to the statements. One of the le' tcrs, which enters much into detail as to the situa tion of Coloin' ii, says, " We are assured that General Bwrinutlez is in march against Pacz." We have, however, been favoured with letters front Augustura, of the 16th of July, which state that Graeral Bermudez had lately been reviewing the troops in that disttict, and had staled up the ()think° in one of the steam-boats (the Libertador) b.:long ing to Colonel Harailton, with detachments of troops to secure the important military stations on the river. Such it; the rueful and ruinous state of the retail trade of Perth, that a number of haberdashers have stopped payment, who, a few years ago, purchased extensively in the London and Manchester markets, with all the " advan tage of ready money." G PIO fA AI PIPERS. Moscow, The Imperial Family was most atrreeably surprised by the arrival of the Grand Duke Constantine. After the coronation nutilentus miters were conferred, especially on the Foreign Ministers. General Count Von Moine, the Donlan Ambassador, received the order of Alexander Nswsky. j The following Iniperisl manifesto has been published here, tittk.h was drawn up at st.

A.w.g other things they reserve to the rei gn i ng Einp ti c,, the right of appointing a Regent and Guardians in ca . e o f his tiest6 and the minority of his successor. In conformity with this, an d animat.d by a wish to give our dear country, upon our accesa o , the first proof of our care for the stability of the laws 1066 insure the permanent security of the State, we ordain, with Vie blessing of our much•heltNe4 mother, the 3lnria Feodorowna, and a ith the previous appraa'ion of our dear brother the Cesarowiteh and Grand Duke Constantine, as follows; " As the days of our life ore in the liar,! of God. we appo i nt, in ease of our death, and till the legal ninjority of the iitiecessor to he throne, the Grand Duke Alexardar Nikol.jrwits.h, our he. loved brother the Grand Duke 31 'elate) Paalowitsch, to be tlse head of the Government of the Empire, as well as that of ti lt kingdom of Poland and the Grand Di elly of Finland, which are Inseparable front it.

MR. JOHN ;MKS, JUN. AND MR. VERBEKE. On Saturday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, the neighbourhood of New Broad-street was thrown into a state of alarm by the screams of a female, which issued from the office of Mr. John Wilks, jun. the M.P. for Sud bury. A crowd of persons assembled before the premiss to ascertain the cause. The anxiety of the crowd and the inhabitants was set at rest by a young weman showing herself at the window, and 2bking what was the cause of the crowd? It appeared, however, upon further inquiry, that an extraordinary preceeding, had taken place. Four men h3d got possession by a ruse de guerre, and banica doed the house under the authority of law ; and the terror of being thus cvertnatched had at first excited the alarm amongst the servants, which soon subsided. It is stated that legal proceedings have been taken by Mr. Ver. beke, formerly a partner in the firm. Preparations of the moat formidable nature were made to defend the preni'ses in case any attempts were made to regain poss. six) oi them. A communication was maintained with the nest house, and a person was seen to hand in throug,h the win dow two awfully long swords, a bludgeon, and a brace of pistols. During Sunday it was garrisoned by six able- bodied men, and the outposts were watched by two consta bles, who waited in readiness in an adjoining yard, in case of a breach of the peace. Two large boards were seen 071 the outside of the house, stating, " To let ; for particulars and cards to view, apply to Mr. Pearson, Carpenters' Hap, No. 61, London-wall." Three rums came during ya terday from Mr. WilLs, as it was understood in the neigh' bourlio:A, to endeavour to regain possession, but they ap peared awed by the force in the house, and retired. rh, public will doubtless hear further of this affair.—dre:-‘• big Peeper.

Last week a pest-boy, in employment at the George Int' , Perth, found a stray horse and gig at a solitary place en the toad betwixt Path and Kinross, with no person near to take charge of them. After waiting for some time to ascer tain whether the owner might be near, and none appe arin g , he b ought the horse and gig to Perth.
