RUS9AN BITEA,ETIN. BERLIN, SEPT._ 13. DETAILED REPORT OF THE OCCUPATION OF ADRIAN OM BY THE RUSSIAN ARMY. llead-quarters in the Palace of the Old Seraglio (Eski Scrai), at Adrianople, the 9th (21st) Aug., 1829. After the dispersion of the Turkish corps at Sr limn°, and after the army had taken only- one day's rest at Jambol, the Commander-in-Chief continued his operations with renewed activity. On the 4th (16th) August the 7rh corps of the army arrived by forced marches at Hassanbeili, on the Tundscha, and the 6th and 2d corps, with the head-quarters, at Papaskioi. On the sth (17th) the 7th corps an ived at Kutschnk-Derbent, and the Gth and 2d, with the head-quarters, at Bujuk- Derhent. Notwithstanding the extraordinary heat of an un commonly hot summer, of a narrow and rocky road, and of a country more difficult to pass than the llalkan, our brave troops bore with admirable pa tience the faticue of the rapid march. The column of General Count Pahlen and General Roth did not arrive at Bujuk-Derbent till late in the 9i%.0t of the .sth (17th.) of August. Notwith t,tAnding the vanguard of General Schiroff advanced to Ilanti-Enedsche, after a march of .50 wersts, it detached 200 Cossacks towards Amantkioi, five wtrsts from Adrianople. ..At some distance from Hami-Enedsche the Cos , aeks kit in with 700 Turkish cavalry, who were immediately broken, loiing 52 men, killed, a standard, and 4-1 , prisoners. The remainder were driven under the walls of the town. The Turkish troops and the inhabitants of Adrian ,ople on the 19th of August, the columns of our 'army descend the heights of Bujuk-Derhent, and opproach the city by the roads from Hanti•Enedsche and Arkbunar, The Commander-in-Chief ordered the second corps to encamp at a short distance from Eski-Eerai. The regiment of Schlersselberg occupied a com manding eminence to the left of this position, at the foot of sAich passes the great toad front Bujuk_ Derhent to Adrianople. The 6th corps was placed on the second line, the head-quarters established near Tschiflik, on the Tundschrt, raid the seventh corps forming the third line encamped behind Tschiflik. Al: the three corps had their right flank on the Tundscha. The Cossacks of General Schiroff took possession of all the heights around Adrianople. The regiment of Ilgin sent out parties even to the road from Adrianople to Constantinople. The Commander-in-Chief and Adjutant-General Count Toll, accompanied only by their Staff, rode towards the place, and reconnoitred the ground and the enemy's works, riding round the greater parts of The city. The General immediately determined all the points of attack, and the movements which the columns were to make at the (lawn of day. Adrianople has 80,000 inhabitants, including about 40,000 Mussulmans : from 10 to 15,000 of the latter were well armed, The Turkish corps col lected to defend the city consisted of 10,000 re gular infantry, 800 or 1,000 cavalry, and some thou sand men hastily assembled from the neighbouring districts. The ground is well calculated for an obstinate re sistance, intersected by deep ditches and numerous gardens. The position of the Turkish batteries was %veil chosen; some of them were not completed, and no haste had been made to do so, because no one in Adrianople thought he would have to fight the next morning. The illusion which so many centuries of security had excited was so glee, that many even of the commanders doubted the possibility of seeing the Russian army at the gates of their ancient capital. The rapidity of our marches of 30 to 35 worsts and our sudden appearance before the place, had almost the effect of enchantment on the Paellas, the Turkish troops, and the inhabitants. Three great roads were still open for their retreat; but the idea of flight di,' not eren occur to them. The Commander-in-Chief had not yet returned from reconnoitering, when the Deputies of the Seraskier, Ilaiil Pacha, and Ibrahim Pacha (both of three tails), of the Governor of Adrianople, NVadziki Mehemed Paella, and of Schesik Ali Pacha, of two tails, with the deputies of the chief inhabitants of the city, had arrived at the Russian advanced posts to propose a capitulation. The Com mander-in-Chief signified to them, through the Chancellor of State, Mr. A. Fonton, that they must deliver up their arms, artillery, standards, provisions, and ammunition—in a word, every thing belonging: to the Ottoman Government ; that on those con ditions he would allow the Pachas and their troops to return to their homes, provided they did not take the road to Constantinople. The irregular troops and the inhabitants were also required to lay down their arms, to remain in Adrianople, and continue to follow their trade and all lawful and pacific business, under the protection of the law and the existing Courts of Justice. Mr. Fonton was farther in structed to declare to the Deputies, that the General in-Chief gave them 12 hours to accept or refuse these terms, and that the army would move at day break ; that each column would proceed to the point of attack assigned to it ; and that on the 20th of August, at nine o'clock in the morning, the city would be stormed if the terms were not accepted by time Generals and the local authorities of Adrianople. The next morning (29th) the army formed in two columns, and left its camp at five o'clock. The right column, composed of the corps of Generals Roth and Pahlen, marched directly against the centre of the place. The Commander-in-Chief led it in per son, and placed it so that it could attack at several points at once. The left column, consisting of the 2d division of Hussars and the 2d of Hulnns, with a numerous di vision of horse artillery, marcht.d through Arnaut Kioi towards the roads leading to Kirk-Kilissa and Constantinople, in order to cut off the enemy from all modes of retreat to the Bosphorus. This column was commanded by General 'cott, Chief of the Staff. The 7th corps under General Rudiger formed the reserve, and advanced on the road from Bujick Der bent to Adrianople, to the wood which surrounds the Eski Serai, the ancient residence of the Sultans. Whether the Turkish Plenipotentiaries saw from their camp the general movement of the army, they did not wait for the expiration of the time allowed them the preceding evening to signify their submis sion, they arrived two hours earlier, but designed to negociate to obtain less disadvantageous terms. The answer was short : the General-in-Chief ordered the columns to advance towards the out-works and walls of the city. When the Turkish and Christian inha bitants saw the movement of the columns, they did not wait for the news of the conclusion of the capi tulation, and came, partly disarmed, partly armed, out of the city, and met our troops with demonstra tions of joy, while the Turkish soldiers threw away their arms and abandoned their camp to us even be fore the formalities for delivering it up could be completed. All was wholly in confusion. Several Pachas came to meet the Commander-in-Chief, and . welcomed him, and others galloped away. Our bat talions occupied the points which, a moment before, they were to have taken by storm. The c•valry first occupied the road to Constanti nople; the 2d corps followed, and posted itself before the Constantinople-gate; the 6th occupied the road to Kirk-Kilissa; the 7th the Valley of the Tunds cha, and the fine barracks lately built by the Sultan Mahmoud. The Commander-in-Chief fixed his head-quarters in the Palace of the Sultans, which had been pre pared for the reception of Mahmoud. Part of our troops occupied the barracks, and the remainder the tents of the Turkish camp, which were all ready to receive them. The conquest of Adrianople was more like a popu larp festival than the occupation of a cap i ta l c i ty by an armed hostile force. The Turkish, as well as the Christian inhabitants, continue their usual occupa tions. The shops and coffee-houses are open, and • The subsequent dates are given in the new style only. - he local authorities and tribunals have not been in terrupted in their proceedings. The trophies of this remarkable day ares 6 cannon, 25 standards, five horse-tails, and many thousand muskets, which are not yet counted. The maga zines of provisions and ammunition were well fur ..ished, and are of great use to us: Lieutenant•G•enerai Baron tudberg reports, that c)n the 20th of August, after an action at the out pasts, in which the Archduke Ferdinand's Regiment A Hussars had distinguished itself, he had occupied Kiik-Kilissa, and marched on the 21st to Lul'e Bourgas. Tt.e Odessa Journal contains the fol!owing report:— " AISADA, AUG. 20.—Admiral Greig sent a squadron of I ship of the line, 2 frigates, and 3 gun boats, under Captain Baskakoff, to occupy Ainada, (Niada or Incada). After two hours' cannonade a corps of 150 sailors and 150 infantry landed, drove the -enemy from their intrenchments, and took 28 cannon, two mortars, and a great quantity of ammu nition. For want of cavalry, the enemy could not be pursued, so that only the sick and wounded were made prisoners. We cannot sufficiently wonder an tire little resistance of the Turks. The 'wrench melts they abandoned, besides the outworks, con sisted of six very well constructed redoubts, with embrasures and deep ditches t if they had been well defended, we could not have taken them without great loss, and a much larger number of troops ; but the Turks are in such terror that they every where take flight. Six (28) miles from Ainada they had a camp on an eminence, which we afterwards learned contained no fewer than 8,000 men. Our detachment expected they would come to succour the town, instead of which they hastily retreated, as soon as Ainada fell into our hands. A detachment has just been sent to occupy Sumakoff.—Prussian S.'ate Gazette, Sept. 14. ODESSA, AUG. 30.—Our accounts from the theatre of war are to the 23d, at which time General Roth had commenced his march from Rodosto, on the Sea of Marmora. The General-in-Chief in tended to proceed by Araba Bourgas direct to Con stantinople, but at the same time remain in com munication with General Roth. The fleet prose cutes its advantages, and has taken Ainada, where there is a pretty good road along the coast to the capital. It is said, that Admiral Ricord has orders to sup port the army ; and it is probable that when he learns the arrival of General Roth, at Rodosto, he will endeavour to pass the Dardanelles ; which will be the more easy, as the Turkish fleet remains in active in the port of Bujukdere, as if it were a time of profound peace. We know that negotiations for peace are to be soon opened, and we hope they will be successful, for the Porte has no means of defence in Europe, and in Asia General Paskewitsch takes one province after another. The Sultan seems inclined to do his utmost to end the contest with some degree of honour; he tries all means, or. the one hand, to ex cite the people against the Russians, and on the other, to induce Count Diebitsch to conclude an armistice ; but the people remain indifferent, and Count Diebitsch purqres his advantages. It is said, he has answered the Grand Vizier, who has several times written to him, expressing a wish for an armi stice, and begging that the negotiations may be car ried on at Constantinople, " that the Porte knows the sentiments of the Emperor, and on what basis it has to treat, and that it has hut to fulfil the con ditions on which peace may be obtained, if it seri ously wishes to put an end to hostilities." The sanatory state of this place is improving. VIENNA, SEPT. B.—Metalliques, 1001 ; Bank Shares, 1,074. SEPT. 9.—Metalliques, 1001 ; Bank Shares, 1,172. Allgemrine Zeitung, Sept. 14. VIENNA, SEPT. B.—Account from Odessa, from the 26th to the 28th of August, say, that hopes had been entertained that the communications with the town would be re-established ; but on the 26th and 27th fresh cases of plague had occurred, which had caused the most strict measures to be taken to prevent the propagation of the disorder.—Brussels Papers, Sept. 19. FOREIGN INTELLIUENCE FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France of Saturday.) FRONTtERS OF TURKEY, SEPT. 7.—Letters ceived by Greek merchants at Belgrade, announce that the Russians took possession, at the end of last month of Rodosti, on the sea of Alartnora, and found there a great quantity of ammunition and pro. visions. This place is known to be the principal port on the sea of Marmon, and is only a few marches distant from the old Castle of the Darda- nelles on the European side. The same letters speak of a deputation sent by the Divan to General Die bitsch, to induce him to suspend hostilities, by re presenting to him the dangers to which the capital would be exposed. The General is said to have answe►ed that it depended upon the Porte to stop the effusion of blood, and to save the capital : that the declaration made by the Emperor at the com mencement of the war was made known to the whole world ; and that it positively stated that the sending of Turkish Commissioners to the Russian camp would not suspend the military operations till a final arrangement should have been concluded—and that he would not sheath the sword till he had ob tained complete satisfaction for the injuries sustained by the Russian► nation. LIES OF THE DAY. PARIS, SEPT. 18.-TILE COURIER FRANCAIS.- It is affirmed that orders are given for all the Swiss Regiments in the service of France to be assembled on the 28th inst. at Paris. They alone will com pose the whole garrison of the capital, and the regi ments of the Royal Guard will be distributed around Paris, within a very short distance. TETE CONSTITUTION EL.—There is a report that NI. de Villele will shortly arrive at Paris. LE FRANCE NOUVELLE.—It is stated as certain, that M. la Bourdonnaye, to revenge himself on the moderation of his colleague, M. de Chabrol, has just displaced the Prefect of the Seine, and has ap pointed M. Ferdinand Berthier for his successor. (From the Messager des Chainbres of Friday.) TRIPOLI. • NAB, 'SEPT. 17.—The notice given by the Chamber of Commerce at Marseilles, and published in our yesterday's number, might perhaps cause it to be feared that a rupture would take place with that power, arid we therefore think it our duty to give some explanation calculated to make the mer chants easy on the subject. It was known some days ago, that Baron Rous seau, his Majesty's Consul• General and Charge d'Affaires at Tripoli, had taken down his flag, in consequence of very serious disputes between the Pacha and him relative to the papers of Major Laing. If we may give credit to the private information which we have received, Baron Rousseau is impli cated in this affair. The misunderstanding between the Consul and the Pacha having no other cause than the private conduct of the former, we have not thought it necessary to acquaint the public tiU cer tain documents, which are promised very shortly, should have reached us. We believe that the mer chants have no reason to fear a rupture with Tripoli, because the French Government has not been in sulted in the person of its Consul; and what tends to confirm our opinion is, that the Pacha has re peatedly declared to M. Rousseau, that he was going to write himself to the French Government, to assure it of his friendship and deference; that if the Consul went away, he should, notwithstanding, consider himself at peace with France, and that all the subjects of that nation residing at 't ripoli s►hould be the objects of his special protection. As soon as the official documents, which we expect, have reach ed us, we shall immediately make them public. Here follows, under the head of " News from Tripoli," a long article extracted from the Sema phore, of Marseilles, the substance of which is, chat in consequence of the researches made by Mr. Warrington, the English Consul, and father-in-law of Major Laing, there was reason to believe that the papers of the Major had been brought to Tripoli by some people of Ghadames, and that a Truk, named Hassouna-Dghies, received them in a mys terious manner. Mr. Warrington having so far pro ceeded that the truth was at length on the point of being distOvered, Hassouna not daring to wait for the result, took refuge with Mr. Coxe, the American Consul. The Pacha signified to Mr. Coxe; that he acknowledged the inviolability of the asylum granted to the 1 urk, but that as his evidence was necessary in the investigation of the assassination of Major Laing, he begged him not to favour his flight. Mr. Warrington wrote in the same manner to his colleague. However, Hassouna left Tripoli in the night of the 9th of August, disguised, it is said, as an American officer ; and took refuge on board the American corvette Fairfield, Captain Parker, then in the road of Tripoli, and which weighed anchor on 10th August, in the morning. The Pacha, enraged at the escape of Hassouna, sent for his brother Ma hommed, who on being threatened, confessed in writ ing, and upon oath, that Hassouna, his brother, had had the Major's papers, in his possession, but had given them up to a person whom we shall not name, for a deduction of 40 per7rent. on the debts which he had contracted in France, and of which the latter was endeavouring to obtain payment.-- Mohammed's declaration, which fills three plges, contains valuable and numerous particulars respect. ing the Major's papers. However, when he left the palace, fearing that the Pacha might punish him in stead of his brother, he went to take refuge with the person of whom all have spoken, and implored his protection. On this the Consuls-General of the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, and Sardinia, went to the person indicated as the receiver, and summoned him in the name of Mr. Warrington, and on the ground of Mohammed's declaration, instantly to deliver up Major Laing's papers. He answered haughtily, that the declaration was a tissue of ca lumnies; and Mohammed, depending probably on a pretended inviolability, wholly disavowed it, and even denied his own hand -writing. This palinode deceived nobody. The Pacha, i n a rage, sent hi s own son, Sidi Ali, to Mohammed, Who, being threatened with being seized by the Chiaoux, re traced his retactation, and confirmed, in a new de claration made in the presence of all the Consuls, that which he had made in the morning, before the Pacha and his principal officers. Now, the circumstances of this affair are clear, and we submit them to the attention of France and Europe. Our readers will easily guess what deli cacy has obliged us to pass over in silence. One consolatory fact results from these afflicting details the papers of Major Laing exist, and the learned world will rejoice ; but in the name of humanity, in the name of science, in the name of the national ho nour compromised, perhaps, by shameful or criminal bargains, we must desire that justice may strike the guilty, whoever he may be. (From the Journal des Debats of Thursday.) PARIS, SEPT. 17.—N0 reasoning can prevent the present epoch from being one of political decay for England. No sophism can restore to her that power over Europe which she has voluntarily alienated. This may arise, perhaps, from the am bition of Russia—from the weakness of the Otto man Empire—from the lethargy of Austria, and the indifference of Prussia. The cause, however, is of no consequence; and it is certain that in 1827, the expression was, if " England pleases," while, in 1829, it is everywhere said, whether " England likes it or not, is of no consequence." In order to judge correctly of a present circum stance, we must sometimes remember the past and look to the future. Let us suppose, therefore, that Sir J. Mackintosh, Mr. Brougham, Lord Holland, or Lord Lansdowne, had stated two years ago, as a rhetorical figure, that the giant of the North would press in a short time the capital of the Ottoman em pire, both in Europe and Asia; that the ports on the south of the Euxine would receive Russian gar risons, while the Cossacks were threatening the castles of the Dardanelles—the Members of the Opposition themselves would have found the asser tion a little too strong, and the Ministerial orators would have replied bS , a haughty appeal to British dignity, to the ►nfluence cf Britain abroad, and to all those common-places about national power and ho nour, with which the good easy people are every where so readily satisfied. But all these things have happened, and perhaps only the half of the events which are preparing are yet known to us. What then has changed in Eng land ? Nothing, except the language. The Rus sian Colossus is nothing more than a mild and mo derate Prince, who takes up arms to lay them down at the first summons, by those who wished his ex pedition to sail, in the most exemplary manner. He is a conqueror who invades only to restore— who is only going to Constantinople to convince his enemy of his own weakness, and consequently in form him of the means by which he may re-assume his old rivalry. We shall not be surprised, should it be stated at London that Mahmoud was to be in demnified for the sacrifices his resistance has cost him. The Emperor of Russia has visited the straight where the trade of his most fertile province is exposed to even renewed outrages, and some times threatened with complete interruption—and he is to return without insuring his commercial ma rine that development. to which it has a right, and without which it cannot exist. Who knows that Mahmoud will not demand from him the cession of Sebastopol and Odessa ? In fact it is to amuse one's self with Russia to expect to catch her in such a net. What ! when you doubted her success—when you wished to see pestilence and famine in her camps, and her vessels exposed to hurricanes—then you had, in speaking of her Sovereign, no other words in your mouth than ambition—spirit of conquest—and invasion ; and now, when you see, with your arms folded, at London and Vienna, that his forces are majestically surrounding the gates of the Turkish capital, you are at his feet trembling, like the Turks, from ap prehension, and calling on him to have compassion on the balance of power in Europe, as they call on him to suspend hostilities. A pleasant hope t. and if the Duke of Wellington has no other illusion to offer to England, I can readily believe, as has already been said, that lie begins to find business troublesome. It was not for this he was called to the head of hiS Sovereign's Councils—and this was not the first use he promised to himself to make of the pacification of Ireland. But even the results of this great measure are become a matter of contest. In Ireland the people talk of no thing but a mere important independence. It is recol lected that Dublin once had its Parliament, and it is known that at present the population of Ireland is seven millions. You may imagine the Duke of 'Wellington pressed in Parliament, by the consistent a'lversaries of Catholic Emancipation, as to the consequences of a measure which they energetically opposed, pressed also on the measures of their exterior policy by those who are the true defenders of the English preponderance in the business of Europe; we may imagine we see Mahmoud, with Diebitsch in front of him, and Paskewitch in his rear, Europe and Asia fall at the same time. The Turks demand of the Sultan what he has done with the Standard of the Prophet. England will also demand of the Duke of Wellington to render an account of the honour of the English flag. Will this be the end of his career ? Provi dence sports sometimes very strangely with human combinations. For us, at least, we have a Mi►►istry from whom we exact less. Occupied as we are in saving our institutions from the nicks on which they have been driven by imprudent habits, we must first have France free at home before requiring for her glory abroad. Moreover the national honour is, seriously, in the hands of M. de Bourmont! How can it be imagined that he can be called upon to give an ac count of it? Subvert the Ottoman Empire, then —strew two parts of the world with its ruins; make Greece free and powerful, or slavish and tributary; rejoice at Petersburgh—weep at Vienna; threaten at Lon- dun ; pull down and build up Europe as you please. Three men have promised you the nullity of France, and have relied, for that purpose, on your hatred and fear of them. When the great question now agitating France as to her repose and liberty is resolved, she will resume her rank among nations. FRENCH FoNns.—PAnts, Sear. 18.—Five per Cents. 1061.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Constitutionnel of Saturday.) BUCHAREST, AUG. 30.—We learn from the ramp of Daja, the head-quarters of General Kische leff, that the left Bank of the Danube, which has been hitherto molested by the Turks, has been freed from them by the rapid movements of the General. The places most threatened were Tournoul and Kale, opposite Nicopolis. The Turks had landed 1,000 cavalry, and about 2,000 infantry, but Gene ral Baron Lowenstern, at the head of his cavalry, hastened to the spot with the rapidity of lightning, compelled the enemy to a speedy retreat, and Kale, which had for a moment been abandoned by the Russians, was again occupied by the infantry of General Stegman. Though the Turks had above 40 pieces of cannon, which kept up a well sup ported fire, they could not stop the Russians. Nicopolis, Sistow, and Rudsehuk, receive ammu nitions and provisions from Widdin. Baron Low enstern being informed that the convoy was to pass, erected a battery, which damaged several boats, sunk two, and obliged the crews of the others to fly and abandon their vessels. ZANTE, SEPT. 2.—The Russians are probably at this moment at Constantinople, for they were lately at Enos, and there is nothing to oppose their march. We have just received to day a piece of news of great importance, viz. that the French and English fleets have entered the port of Constantinople, at the desire of the Foreign Ambassador:, the Porte having lately declared that the Sultan was going to depart to put himself at the head of his army, and that the result of the combat being uncertain, he could not know whether he should be able at his return to guarantee the lives and property of the Europeans. In consequence the two fleets were to take the most speedy measures for the safety of the foreigners residing at Constantinople. (From the Messager des Chambres.—Second Edition.) PARIS, SEPT. 19, NOON.—Yesterday evening, at the Opera, the following was stated to be the scheme for a new Ministry, namely, M. de Polignac, Fo reign Affairs and President of the Council ; M. de Chabcol, the Finances ; M. de Belleyme, the Inte rior; M. de Rigny, the Marine; Gen. Ricard, War Department; M. de Chantelauze, Justice; M. de Vatismenil, Public Instruction and Ecclesiastical Affairs. The marked rise in the price of stocks must be attributed to this news, which had trans pired on 'Change. We consider the report as a Stock-jobbing trick. (N. B. The Constitutionnel expresses the same opinion of this news. " The funds," it says, " were inclined to fall, and as the coffers of the Receivers- General begin to he exhausted, it is probable that the Ministry itself finds no other means to keep up the funds than by spreading a report that it is going to retire.")

It is said that the French Government have received a Telegraphic Communication to the effect that hostilities had ceased between the Russians and Turks on the 29th of August, and that the preliminaries of peace were to be ratified two days after. The Al lgemeine Zeitung of the 15th Sep tember contains some particulars of the opera tions on the left Bank of the Danube, between the Turks and Russians, in which the former were as usual defeated —chiefly in consequence of the mutinous conduct of the Albanians. If we may credit the report in that Paper, the suc cess of the Russians is hailed with general joy by the inhabitants of the principalities, and what is certainly " more remarkable, many Turkish houses at Adrianople and Sophia speak of the results of the campaign with pleasure, and give orders as if profound peace prevailed." The rca - ion we presume to be that all commercial men are heartily sick of the SULTAN'S extor tionate exactions. There is a hint thrown out for making the Principalities independent of the PORTE HAMBURG, SEPT. 15.

Letters from Gibraltar have been received this morning to the 31st ult. inclusive, which make no mention of the breaking out of the fever, the statements to this effect in the French Papers may therefbre be considered unfounded. Commercial advices from Calcutta state, un der date the 26th March, that the growing crop of Indigo was already suffering from want of rain in the lower districts, and unless there was a fall speedily, another short crop might be ex pected. The accounts from Trihoot and the upper provinces were however more favourable. In another column will be found a detailed re port of the occupation of Adrianople by the Russian army. The dispositions made by Gen. DIEBITSCH were very masterly, arid so fright ened the Turkish Paellas, that they surrendered at discretion. " The conquest of Adrianople," says the bulletin, " was more like a popular fes tival than the occupation of a capital city by an armed hostile force. The Turkish as well as the Christian inhabitants continue their usual oc cupations: the shops and coffee-houses are open, and the local authorities and tribunals have not been interrupted in their proceedings." If we may believe the statement in letters from Zante of the 2d instant, the English and French fleets had advanced to Constantinople, on the invitation of the Foreign Ambassadors ; the Turkish Government having declared to the diplomatic body, that the SULTAN was imme diately to set out at the head of his army to meet the enemy ; and that the result of the struggle being uncertain, he could not tell whe ther he would be able at his return to guarantee the safety of the lives and properties of Eu ropeans. The Commanders of the two fleets are in consequence taking the most effectual measures for insuring the safety of the European inhabitants in Constantinople. It was even said that the Russians had taken possession of Ro dosto, a port on the Sea of Marmora, half way between Constantinople and the Dardanelles. General DIEBITSCII was ad vaacing by three roads to the capital. The following is from our correspondent iH Paris : " PARIS, SEPT. 19. " General Krassowsky had . a very serious en gagement with the Grand Vizier before Shinnla. The Grand Vizier had a horse wounded, and General Krassowsky a horse killed under him in the action. " It is mentioned in letters from Copenhagen of the sth of September, that three ships of the Russian line and one frigate had arrived from the North Sea, apparently from Archangel, and had cast anchor in the roads of the Danish capital. " Fresß reports have arisen of changes in the French Ministry. It is said that Prince Polig nac and M. de Chabrol are alone to remain ; and a list is even circulated of the new Admi nistration. According to this list Admiral de Rigny is called to the Ministry of the Marine, the Duke d'Escars to the War Department, M. de Vatismenil to that of Public Instruction, M. de Chantelauzc to the Ministry of Justice, and M. de Belleyme to the Ministry of the In terior ; but although very generally believed on 'Change, I find in the best informed circles that it is regarded as a stock•jobbing manoeuvre ; some even alleging that it has been put in circu lation by the Ministers themselves, to give a temporary stimulus to public credit. The Journal du Comnzerce, the Journal des Debats, the Constitulionnel, and the Cou rier, have been cited before the Juge d'lnstruc- Lion, the first for having originally inserted, and the others for having copied, the resolutions of the Breton Association from the Gazelle de France. The grounds of citation are—ist, for exciting hatred and contempt against the King's Government ; 2d, for provoking to the disobe• dience of the laws ; 3d, for an attack on the Constitutional authority of the King; and 4th, for an attack on the rights and authority of th e Chambers. Two days ago the King and the Royal Family went in solemn procession to the Cathe dral church of St. Denis, to celebrate the anni versary of the death of Louis XVIII. It is the fashion at present with the Liberal party to place the public conduct of Charles X. in unfa vourable contrast with that of his late brother, who is usually lauded as the august author of the Charter. To support this idea, a procession has been got up by the opponents of the Mi nistry, and is at this moment in progress to the' church of St. loch, ostensibly with the view of celebrating the anniversary of his late Majes►y's decease, but substantially, I believe, with a view to political agitation. The Liberals avow that they are the warmest and most consistent sup porters of the Constitutional authority of the King, but the friends of the Ministry contend that it is only dead Kings that their antagonists are ever heard to praise." :i r { r; John Bull, as ARBUTHNOT has well said, is ..;C: naturally disposed to grumbling." He has a decided relish for the gloomy, a taste for the tristfiul, and is never so happy, or so entirely in his clement, as when finding fault. Mr. SAD.. LER, the Ultra Tory speech-monger, seems to be well acquainted with this national characte- ristic, and in a long Philippic, delivered by him on Tuesday last at Whitby, administered to his hearers a pretty plentiful dose of megrims and melancholy. - The subjects of his oratory were various, but were all of a sareo iic cast. He railed first against political ecorcynists, visionary theorists, and political paniphl steers (himself one of the most visionary pamphleteers of the day) ; secondly against the Free Trade system ; thirdly, against the intellect of the present day—at a low ebb, certainly, if Mr. SADLER be taken as its representative ;—fourthly, against the policy of Government, with regard to the circulating me dium ; and lastly, against what that pompous orator my Lord Noodle, in Tom Thumb, calls, " things in general." Having discussed all these points in a spirit which a luxurious public dinner ought considerably to have mol- lified, the Honourable Member went on to advert (we quote his own words) " to that line of policy which I humbly think ought to be adopted, and which, without any violent revul sions, much less untried plans, would still, and 'I think speedily, restore the nation to its wonted prosperity." Just, however, as he was entering on this important topic, and while his hearers were all attention, the Hon. Member suddenly discovered that he had exhausted their patience, so without further explanation of his plans, he hastened to a conclusion with a metaphor about a ship and a pilot, worthy alone of the illustrious author of the " Art of Sinking." Now this was disingenuous in Mr. SADLER. It was unworthy the protege6 of the Duke of NEWCASTLE and the author of the " Treatise on Ireland." If he thought fit to attack the Free Trade System, he was hound in common fairness to substitute a better in its stead. He was bound to show wherein his line of policy was superior to that of his opponents. He should have been above the wretched vanity of finding fault, merely because the language of sarcasm was that best adapted to his periods. He should have shown not merely that the policy of his opponents was wrong, but that his own was right. On this latter point, however, he was discreetly silent, impressed doubtless with a he-' coming sense of the modesty of Bombastes Furioso, when he exclaimed to his victorious General— " I cannot speak, for I have nought to say."' Mr. SADLER, we repeat our former observa tions, is a mere sophist. He has language at command, a power of giving to unmeaning. generalities the appearance of sound facts, and when argument is wanting, of disguising his shal-4 lowness by a stale truism, tricked out in meta phor, like au old harridan in paint, feathers, and flounces. He mistakes wind for strength, sound for sense, the rattling of the brazen chariots of Salmonens for the thunders of Jupiter EliS• He talks fitmiliarly of the great writers of a past age, in the hope that he may be suspected of having read them. He brings forward the names of BACON, of LOCKE, of ADDISON, as men of his own way of thinking, and 4 , whose approval gave the Constitution the signature of immor tality," forgetting arparently that the first, 4 , the wisest, brightest, meanest of mankind," waS meanest in that very capacity in which Mr. SADLER would chiefly wish to exalt, and be identified with him ; that LOCKE, the staunchest, the most intrepid of, innovators, (that class of people whom Mr. SADLER honours with his especial condemnation,) was long proscribed at Oxford, whose principles are adequately repre• sented by Mr. SADLER'S friend, Sir R. INGLIS,. and are even now as much opposed to those of the g an re d at t c h h a a t m I A ) i o p i s f 0 1 :7, o1 e r h a t o i w o n weighty as an authority in literature, was as a N a re s r lig il h lu t s to tri c o la u r s kn a e i sf i l d ; Statesman, weak, inefficient, wavering,—a poor creature, who was timid when lie should have • been courageous, vacillating when he should have been decided. Such are the discordant ma terials which Mr. SADLER has blended together in a strange heterogenous hodge-podge, to point his arguments, and throw a classical halo over his intellect ! k ni tw t 116 tha 4 4 , It Ai ; Th e Itg, co„ 1%1 1 We cannot quit the subject of this Whitby dinner, without expressing our regret that the ultra Press has presented us with so much of Mr. SADLER'S, and so little of Colonel WIL' soN's eloquence. The Gallant Member, we perceive, was seated next the Chairman, the true fountain of inspiration ; how then does 4 happen that his impassioned apostrophes,--fer genius like his must of necessity be restless, have not in one single instance been recorded? He is a rival, and a dangerous one we confess , of Mr. SADLER—indeed of the two orators we infinitely prefer the Gallant Colonel—but is that a reason why his delightful diatribes should hav e been omitted ? Because Mr. SADLER is vir tuous, shall there be no more cakes and ale from Colonel WILsoN ?
