the time was not materially s l ioi t ene d . What a I vast addition then would he inada to the present amount of internal intercourse when the expense is reduced three-fourths, and the time two thirds ; and when the mode of conveyance is as superior in comfort to cur present starre-coaches, as the coach is to the common cart? To all the active classes, to a person especially who is at the head of an extensive business, time is ,of still more value than money. If the journey from Edinburgh to Manchester could he per formed in ten hours, at an expellee of 14s. or 155., every merchant knows that the amount of travelling between the two places would increase, not ten, hut fifty fold l Journeys for pleasure would multiply in as great a proportion as those frr -l_Asiness; and we arc satisfied, that when we 'f:Tliby the advantage of railways and locomotive engines on all our great thoroughfares, we shall have, on a moderate estimate, twenty or thirty times as much internal intercourse as we have at peesentb Wheel the !carriage of goods ; which is now Aet:t 9d. or 10d, a ton per mile by land, is re amed to 2d., and when, in point of speed, one day does the work of four, the heaviest commo dities, such as corn, potatoes, coals, will bear the expence of carriage for a hundred miles. 'the result of this will be, that the expence of living in great towns will be reduced, and the price of raw produce will rise in remote parts of the country. The facility, celerity, and cheapness of internal intercourse, contribute more probably to the advancement of civilization than all other cir cumstances put together. Sixty or seventy years ago, the journey from Edinburgh to London oc cupied twenty days. At present, taking the average of all the modes of conveyance by land nd water, it ce:cupies three or four, and the quantity of travelling has increased probably twenty or thirty fold. Are we too sanguine in anticipating another increase equally great, when the time is reduced from three or four days to twenty hours, the expePce almost in the same proportion, and when the traveller is put in pos session of a much higher degree of ease and com fort ? Let the improvement we speak of be rea lized, let what was once a journey of twenty days rtduce'.7( to one of as many hours, and we have bOt a. doubt that we shall have five hundred times as much travelling as we had in the year 1760. In point of fact, when the time is reduced from 80 hours to 20, the result is exactly the same as if Edinburgh were brought as near to London as Leicester or Birmingham ; and, to pursue the comparison, when the journey was one of 20 days, the effect was the same as if Edinburgh had stood in Iceland. Besides, we must always remember that the intercourse grows in a much greater ratio than the distance is shortened. \To mines might be written without exhausting the materials for speculation arising out of such a change. To use our own words, when writing upon this subject in 1824, " With so great a tacility and celerity of communication, the pro vincial towns of an empire would become many suburbs of the metropolis—or rather the effect would be similar to that of collecting the whole inhabitants into one city. Commodities, inven tions, discoveries opinions, would circulate with a rapidity hitherto unknown, and above all, the intercourse of man with man, province with pro vince, and nation with nation, would be prcdi giously increased." We now look back with some pride to the series of papers which we published in the Scotsman on this subject four years ago, which first developed the advantages derivable from em ploying locomotive carriages on railways, for the purposes of commercial intercourse of all kinds. There did not exist at that time a scrap in any scientific work upon the subject, except the old papers of Vince and Coutomb, which merely referred to friction with very low degrees of velocity. From very scanty data, we investi gated the motion of carriages or railways, and arrived at conclusions which excited no small surprise. Practical men, as they term their. selves, were shocked.* We were called dreamers, enthusiasts, and visionaries, for supposing that so heavy a machine as the locomotive engine could draw carriages at the rate of twenty miles an hour ; or that men would risk their persons in vehicles moving with such a velocity. The trial has been made, however, and the result has confirmed and even exceeded our most sanguine anticipations. The engineers who were present at the experiments now talk familiarly of thirty miles an hour as a practicable thing—with deduction merely of the time lost in taking in new supplies of water and fuel ! In some theoretical points we may have erred, for we travelled in an untrodden path ; but when due allowance is made for the imper fect data we had to proceed upon, we think our calculations in all essential points, came wonder fully near to the truth, as evolved by the recent experiments. * Mr. Nicholas Wood, one of the judges at Liverpool, pu'di.he,l an octavo volume in 1825, containing the re sult of his own experiments at Killingswortb, and inserted the following remarks in allusion to the articles in the It is f:►r from my wish to promulgate to the world that the ridiculous expectations, or rather pro fessions of the enthusiastic speculatist will be realized, and that we shall see engines travelling at the rate of twelve, sixteen, eighteen, or twenty miles an hour. Nothing could do more harm towards their adoption or general improvement than the promulgation of such nonsense !" " Mr. Wood," as the Editor of the Mechanics' Magazine observes, " has beep spared to see, not only what he de clared to be ridiculous' and nonsense,' reduced to an un questionable matter of fact, but of witnessing something so much more extraordinary, that had any one hinted it to bins in his days of incredulity, he would, we presume, have pronounced it to be absolute m iciness." A Char!eston Paper, advertisingfor a runaway slave, requests that he may bedelivered at Liberty Hall! He says, " WILL may be known by the incisions of the whip on his back! and I suppose he has taken the road to Coosahatchic, where he has a wife and five childen, whom I sold last week to Mr. GICLLISPIR." In the course of the five-and-forty years after the first publication of LUTHER'S translation of the Bible, it went through 101 entire editions ! One alone (CAN snitx) disposed of 1,670,333 copies between the years 1715 and 1795.—Literary Gazette. There is reasonable ground to believe that the severe and often fatal operation of cutting fur the stone will soon be completely superseded by the use of the new in strument, the lithotrite. Mr. KING, late house-surgeon at the Hotel Dieu, at Paris, and present lecturer at the Medical School in Aldersgate-street, used the instrument a few days ago with perfect success, in the case of a man named PLATFORD, aged 80 years, who resides at Norwich. The stone was about three quarters of an inch in diameter. Dr. CHARLES CLARKE and several other gentlemen were present, and witnessed the process, which lasted 20 minutes. Mr. KING stated the instrument as susceptible of great im provement. FOUR YEARS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA changed.

PARIS, OcT. 22.—The Government has decided that the Portuguese refugees, to the number of more than GOO, in the departments of Ile et Villaine and of La Mayenne, shall have the permission to pro ceed to Ostend, which the Marquis de Palmella had asked for them. The daily allowances which the State had as signed to them will continue to be paid to them till :he day of their embarkation. On setting out from their depots for the ports from which they are to sail ) the subalterns and soldiers hare received shoes and other articles of clothing, of which they were in want, all taken from the magazines of the state. At the moment when these refugees quit France they will receive a mouth's amount of the pay which has been assigned to them : each dicer, therefore, I will receive 90 francs from the Royal Exchequer. His Majesty's vessels are ready to escort the trans ports which will convey these refugees to Ostend. The commanders have received orders to repel any attack from whatever quarter it may come, which may be made upon the ships in which the Portu gue,=e shall be embarked. It is scarcely necessary to add, that no vessel of the Portuguese squadron has appeared in the channel. Such is the truth on this subject, so shamefully disfigured in the Journal des Debats of the 21st of October. (From the Messager des Chambres of Frid iy.) SECOND EDITION.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 23.—The Augsburg Gazette says, it has received, in the original language (the French), the treaty of peace, which it publishes in that language, in an extraordinary supplement to its number of the 17th of October, and in a German translation in the number of October 18. After the Gil► article we observe that this document contains the following paragraph, which we do not find in the English given by the Courier : " The present treaty of peace, containing sixteen articles, and which shall be completed by the ex change of the respective ratifications, within the time stipulated, has been signed and sealed by us, by virtue of our full powers, and excharged for ano ther of the same tenour, signed by the above-men- tioned plenipotentiaries of the Sublime Ottoman Porte, and furnished with their seals." The Plenipotentiaries of the two contracting par ties were, " On the part of the Imperial Court of ltussia, the most Excellent and Honourable Count Alexis Orloff, &e.; and Count Frederick Pahlen, &c.; and on the part of his Majesty the Emperor of the Otto mans, the most Excellent and Honourable Mehemcd Sadick Effendi, actual Grand Defterdar of the Su • blime Ottoman Porte, and Abdul nadir Bey, Cazi Asker of Anatolia." SEMLIN, Our. 4.—Letters from Salonichi, of the 14th of September, say that a Russian corps had ap peared before Cavalla, and taken possession of it, after having dispersed or token prisoners 1,500 Turks who were stationed there. The Turkish Governor, Ibrahim Pacha, and the son of the Pacha of Salonichi, were among the prisoners. VIENNA, OCT.

In the printing office of the Kiaja Bey, a finnan. was in the press, restoring the Servians to thtsir ancient rights, and adding to the kingdom of Servia the six districts which were to be annexed to it according to the treaty of Akermann. It was also reported that great changes would he made in the Sultan's household, and in the Administration ; and that the Sultan would appoint a Commissioner to put an end to the embarrassments which late events have caused in the internal administration of the empire, and especially to find means to pay the contributions, and to defray the charges of the Imperial household. Meantime the Sultan has the greatest confidence in the generous sentiments of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, and hopes to obtain some reduction in the amount, which he has been led to hope for by a power that possesses great influence. BERLIN, OCT. 15.—Prince Trubetzkoi, Aide-de- Camp to the Emperor of Russia, has arrived here from St. Petersburgh, to testify to our Court the gratitude of his Sovereign for the co-operation of Pi ussia in the restoration of peace. General Muffling has received the Order of St. Vladimir of the first class. BRUSSELS, OCT. 23.--The Augsburg Gazette publishes the beginning of a " Plan of a Convention between the Governments of the States on the banks of the Rhine, and of a code of regulations for the navigation for that river." The substance of the fist article of this convention (which was proposed by the Commissioner of the Netherlands in the sittin ); of the Committee at Mannheim, the 19th of August), is, " That the navigation of the Rhine, frJm the point where it be comes navigable, to the sea, both up and down the stream, is perfectly free, awl cannot be prohibited to any body for the purposes of trade.—Brussels Papers, Oct. 24. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 25.—The Sultan has resolved to send an extraordinary Embassy to St. Petersburg!), for the purpose, which has been offi cially announced, of obtaining from the Emperor of Russia a modification of the terms of peace, espe cially a shortening of the term of the military occu pation of some of the provinces, and a diminution of the indemnities. Held Pacha, the adopted son of the Seraskier Chosrew -Pacha, Commander-in-chief of the regular troops, at the head of which he re peatedly distinguished himself during the late war, is appointed to this mission, and will be the bearer of an autograph letter from the Sultan to the Em peror Nicholas. He will embark in a few days with a numerous and splendid suite, on board a Turkish frigate, for Odessa, whence he will proceed to the Russian capital. It is said that the Sultan will offer to the Emperor of Russia to return the Russian fri gate the Raphael, the Captain of which, soon after he was set at liberty, was brought before a court martial at Bourgas. The ratifications of the treaty concluded on the 14th are now being drawn up, and as soon as they are exchanged, Colonel Von Du hamet, in the Russian service, who is now here, will go to Erzeroum, to carry the news to General Paskewitch. All the Russian prisoners of war are already at liberty,, and will be immediately embarked on board Austrian and Sardinian ships, and sent to Bourgas, Sizeboli, and Odessa. Immediately after the exchange of the ratifications the Porte will give firmans for the Black Sea, and a great number of ships of all nations are getting ready to sail with the first fair wind. In the capital the most perfect tranquillity pre vails ; and however burdensome the fulfillment of the terms of the treaty may prove to the Porte, the satisfaction at the conclusion of peace, and the end LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 1829. By the Hamburg Reporter, of the 20th inst. we have received a copy of the Separate Treaty entered into by the Russian and Turkish Ple nipotentiaries, respecting the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, but the principal Treaty, that of Turkish indemnity and the duration of Russian possession, is yet wanting. The pre- sent Treaty contains nothing particular, besidea what we were previously acquainted with. The Hospodars " shall not, as formerly, be limited to seven years, but they shall be invested with their dignity for life." They are to administer the internal Government of their provinces with the assistance of their Divan, according to their own pleasure, but subject to so many stipu -1 lations as to render their power, though inde pendent of the PORTE, yet clearly amenable to Russia. The Turkish fortifications on the left bank of the Danube are never to be repaired, but all the Turkish cities on that side are to be ceded for ever and annexed to Wallachia. Ma hometans possessing landed or other property on the left bank are to sell the same within 18 months, and no Mahometan is ever to be allowed to settle in the Principalities, so that the Turkish power is completely cut off. The PoRTE re nounces its right to contributions of provi sion for Constantinople or the fortresses on the Danube, but is to receive in lieu thereof yearly a pecuniary indemnity, the amount of which is to be hereafter determined—that is never. But the best part of the treaty is that the yearly tribute is not to be exacted by the PoRTE for the space of two years, to be rec konedfrom the day of the total evacuation of the Principalities by the Russian troops ! When that (lay is to arrive we are not told, — But the SULTAN will find it to be " The gay to. morrow of the mind " Which never comes." Nor is this all—the SULTAN is made to be generous whether he will or not. He thinks of nothing but the prosperity of the Principalities ; witness the following:— " Finally, the SUBLIME PORTE, animated by the wish to secure in every possible way the fu ture prosperity of the Principalities, binds itself to confirm every admznistrative measure which, during their occupation by the Russian army, may have been decreed in conformity to a wish expressed in the assemblies of the principal in• habitants of the country, such decrees serving thenceforward as the basis of the internal ad ministration of those provinces, provided always that such decrees do not in any way infringe upon the rights of Sovereignty vested in the SUBLIME PORTE." Now the last " provided" is altogether unne cessary, for the power of the PORTZ is com pletely set at nought by the whole spirit and tenour of the treaty. But why does Russia insult common sense by such a treaty ? Would it not be better at once to avow that she has possession of the Principalities and means to keep it ? Such avowal would be honourable, and might be defended upon the principle of the rights of conquest—but it would not be so cha racteristic of Russian policy, nor so consonant to the profession of Russian moderation : lIAMBURG, OCT. 20. The Hamburg Reporter, after giving the Treaty of Peace between Russia and Turkey, adds the following : of the burdens of the Ivar, is too,plainly expressed to leave any doubt of the general conviction that peace was necessary. Nothing has yet transpired of changes in the Ministry or the internal administration.

The two high contracting Powers, at the sam e t ime that they confirm all the stipulations of the separate act of Akermann, relative to the forms to be observed on the election of the Hospodara of Moldavia and Wal- lachia, have recognized the necessity of giving to the administration of those provinces a more dur able basis, and one more in harmony with their true interests. With this, view it has been and is defini tively resolved, that the reign of the Hospodars shall not as formerly be limited toseven years, but they shall be invested with their dignity for life, except in the case of a free and unconstrained abdication, or of an expulsion in consequence of crimes com mitted as detailed in the said separate act. The Hospodars are to administer the internal government of their provinces, with the assistance of their Divan, according to their own pleasure, but without permitting themselves any infraction of the rights guaranteed to the two countries by Treaties or Matti-scherifs; nor shall their administration be disturbed by any command tending to the violation of those rights. The Sublime Porte obliges itself conscientiously to keep watch that the privileges granted to Mol davia and Wallachia shall in no way be violated by the neighbouring governors, and th-t these shall in no way be allowed to interfere in the affairs of those two provinces; also to prevent the inhabitants of the right bank of the Danube from making ex cursions upon the territory of Moldavia and Wal lachia. All isles situated nearest to the left bank of the; Danube ere to be considered as part of the ter ritory of those provinces, and to the point where it enter; the Ottoman territory to the point of its confluence with the Pruth, the channel of the Danube is to form the, boundaries of the two Prin cipalities. o provide the more securely for the inviolability of the Moldavian and Wallachian territory, the Sublime Porte engages to retain no fortified point upon the left bank of the Danube,nor to permit any settlement there of its Mahometan subjects. It is accordingly irrevocably fixed that no Mahnmetan shall ever be allowed to have his residence in Mol davia or Wallachia, and that only merchants pro vided with firmans shall be admitted for the purpose of buying, on their own account, such articles as may be required for the consumption of Constan tinople. The Turkish cities situated on the left bank of the Danube are to be restored to Wallachia, to re main incorporated with that principality ; and the fortifications previously existing on that bank are never to be repaired. Mahometans possessing landed property, either in those cities, cr upon any point left of the Danube, provided they have not unfairly become possessed thereof (non usurpes sue des par ticuliers), shall be bound to sell such property to natives within 18 months. The Government of the Principalities being en titled to all the privileges of independence in their internal administration, it shall be lawful for the same to draw sanitary cordons, and to establish qua rantine stations along the line of the Danube, and wherever else it may be deemed necessary; nor shall any strangers, be they Christians or Maho metans, have a right to consider themselves above an exact compliance with such quarantine regula tions. For the execution of the quarantine duty, the protection of the frontiers, the maintenance of order in the cities and in the open country, and for the purpose of obedience to their decrees, the Go vernment of each principality shall be permitted to maintain a sufficient military force. The numerical force of these troops is to be determined by the Hospodars and their respective Divans, upon the bases of former examples. The Sublime Porte, animated by an earnest wish to secure to the two Principalities every species of prosperity which they are capable of enjoying, and being aware of the abuses and oppression occa sioned by the contributions for the supply of Can stantinople, end the victualling of the fortres es of the Danube, renounces in the most complete and unconditional manner, its rights in this respect. Moldavia and Wallachia are accordingly for ever relieved of all those contributions of corn, provisions, cattle, and timber, which they were formerly bound to furnish. Nor shall in any case labourers be de manded from these provinces for any forced service (cortlee.) In order, however, in some degree to in demnify the Grand Signorial Treasury for the losses which may be sustained by this renunciation of rights, Moldavia and Wallachia are bound inde pendently of the yearly tribute paid under the de nominations of Kharadsh Idiye, and Rakiabiye, by virtue of the Hatti-scherif of 1822, to pay to the Sublime Porte yearly a pecuniary indemnity, the amount of which is hereafter to be determined. Moreover, upon every fresh nomination of a Hospo dar, in consequence of death, resignation, or deposi tion, the principality where that event occurs, shall be bound to pay to the Sublime Porte a sum equal to the yearly tribute of the province. 'With the ex ception of these sums no tribute or present of any kind shall, under any pretext whatever, be demanded from the Hospodars. In consequence of the abolition of the above spe• cified contributi )ns, the inhabitants of the Principa lities are to enjoy an unlimited freedom of trade for all the productions of their soil and industry (as sti pulated by the separate act of the treaty of Aker mann,) the same not to be liable to any other restraint except such as the llospodars, with the consent of their Divans, may consider:necessary for the due pro visioning of the country; they shall be allowed to navigate the Danube with their own vessels, being provided with passports from their own government, and it shall be lawful for them to proceed for the purposes of trade to the - other harbours and ports of the Sublime Porte, without suffering any persecution from the collectors of the Kharadsh, and without being exposed to any other act of oppression whatever. Duly considering, moreover, all the burdens which it has been necessary for Moldavia and Wal lachia to support, the Sublime Porte, animated by a proper feeling of humanity, consents to release the inhabitants from the yearly tribute, payable to the treasury, for the space of two years, to be reckoned from the day of the total evacuation of the Princi palities by the Russian troops. Finally, the Sublime Porte, animated by the wish to secure in every possible way the future prosperity of the two Principalities, binds itself to confirm every administrative measure which, during their occupa tion by the Russian army, may have been decreed in conformity to a wish expressed in the assemblies of the principal inhabitants of the country, such decrees serving thenceforward as the basis of the internal administration of those provinces, provided always that such decrees do not in any way infringe upon the rights of sovereignty vested in the Sublime Porte. On this account we, the undersigned Plenipo tentiaries of his Majesty the Emperor and Padishah of all the Russias have, conjointly with the Pleni potentiaries of the Sublime Ottoman Porte, regu lated and fixed the points respecting Moldavia and Wallachia, the same being a continuation of Article Five of the treaty of peace concluded at Adrianople, between us and the Ottoman Plenipotentiaries. Done at Adrianople, 2 (14) Sept. 1829. (Signed) Count ALEXIS ORLOFF. Count F. V. PAHLEN. Confirmed in the original copy by Count DIEBTISCH SABALKANSKY, Commander-in-Chief of the 2d Army. (From the Osservotore Triestino of Oct. 13.) TRIESTE, OCT. 9. After almost daily rains for above a month, our road was visited yesterday by a furious storm, which did great damage to the shipping. At daybreak the rapid course of the clouds to the N.W. shewed that the Sirocco was very violent; but from the situation of our road we did not expect auy disastrous consequences; but all at once the wind turned to the S.W., and blew with increasing fury, so that we were exposed to the whole violence of the sea and wind, which impelled the waves towards the coast, so that the lower part of the city next the sea was inundated to a depth of which we do not remember any former instance. Happily, the ebb seting just at the time of the storm, s o that a fter the first fury of the waves was broken :the waters subsided, but not without having damaged a great quantity of goods i.. :magazines and ware- houses, which were so unexpectedly overflowed. Our fears for the ships at anchor were not so soon dispelled, for the sea was in tl,e most violent agita tion with the raging of the storm from eight in . the morning till four in the afternoon. The chief da mage sustained is reduced to the following :—The American brig Zarnor, which lay at anchor at the mouth of the Channel, bad her chain cables broken, and run foul of a barque, and the English brigantine Gambia broke her chain cable and was driven by the wind to the Squero Panfili, and damaged a small house against which she struck. All the banks have sustained great damage. At the Lazaretto of St. Theresa several parts of the parapet were thrown down, and the light-house near the Lazaretto was raised from its foundation and thrown on the neigh bouring rocks. Happily no lives were lost. FRESME, OCT. 8. To-day we have had a most dreadful storm ;we have already heard of five boats, partly laden, that are lost ; two ships have also drove ashore. We do not yet know how many lives have been lost. HAMBURG, OCT. 17. It is affirmed that on the 27th September a Rus sian squadron of eleven huge ships of war was seen to pass by Calmar, steering as it was thought to wards the Sound. STOCKIIOI.M, OCT. 13. The bulletin of his Majesty's health announced to-day that the fever has not returned, and his Ma jesty is convalescent. The Morning Advertiser of this day has the following important paragraph : " We mentioned a day or two ago, in very guarded terms, that Mr. HUSKISSON was likely to rejoin the Cabinet, from which he seceded some time ago ; and we have now to announce, that the negociations between the noble Duke at the head of the Government and the late Presi dent of the Board of Trade, which were princi pally carried on by the Marquis of HERTFORD, have terminated in a manner highly satisfactory to all parties. Mr. Huslcissox will join the Cabinet before the meeting of Parliament ; and however angry a Morning Cotemporary may be on the subiect, we again assert, that Mr. Hus- KISSON did " secede" from the Cabinet of his own free will, and that his accession to it now is as honourable to him in every respect, as his ser vices are likely to be useful to the Government and the country. The Duke of WELLINGTON found, in fact, that he could not do without him; and the negociations to which we have alluded originated with him, not with Mr. H USKISSON." We heartily congratulate the Duke of WEL LINGTON upon the promised accession of Mr. HUSKISSON to his Administration, because it is a complete answer to the croakers against free trade that Government will not change its principles, but act upon that enlightened and liberal policy which has hitherto distinguished its Ministry. Along with Mr. HustussoN, we trust, some more of his friends will come in , and impart by their official knowledge and liberal sentiments still more strength and consistency to the Cabinet. The present situation of the country requires some measures of amelioration, such as a reduction in those taxes which more immediately press upon the working classes—a revision of the laws affecting monopolies of all kinds whether in Church or State, and the fear less application of economy and retrenchment wherever practicable. We received this morning the French Papers of Saturday by express. The city of Trieste has suffered great damage by inundation, but no lives were lost. The King of SPAIN still threatens an amnesty, but clogged with such restrictions as to make the exceptions subversive of the general principle (From the llitssver lea Chambrea of Saturday.) VIENNA, OCT. 13. This morning we have received here the melan choly news that the city of Trieste was inundated on the Bth instant, after a very dreadful storm. The waters penetrated into the highest parts of the city, and destroyed a great number of magazines, especially those in the port. Happily the catas trophe occurred during the day, otherwise a great number of the inhabitants would have perished. SPAIN. The King, it is said, having consulted the Coun. cil of State and the Council of Castille on the sub. ject of the a mnesty, the opinion of both has beet favourable to the measure. Nevertheless it seems that there will be restrictions to this benefit—for instance, the emigrated Deputies who maintained in the Cortes the sovereignty of the nation will be required to take an oath, formally recognising that the sovereignty is in the King; those emigrants who have belonged to secret societies will be re quired to swear that they abjure their errors, and that they will not belong in future to any society. Yet, notwithstanding these restrictions, the King meets with much opposition to this tardy project from the Count d'Espagne, M. de Calomarde, and a well known member of the Camarilla, who has agents in foreign countries, all of whose reports tend to alarm the King, and keep up the present division among the citizens, for it is on this division that their existence depends. Happily the Ministry has determined on the affair of the amnesty, and there is no doubt that it will triumph over the Apostolical party. It is seconded in this undertaking by all the influential persons of the party of the Afran cesados, whose experience and information have also much contributed to lessen some of the Monarch's prejudices. (From the Journal des Debats of Saturday.) PARIS, OCT. 23. His Royal Highness the Prince of Saxe Coburg is arrived at Paris from Germany.

It will be seen by the following communica- tion floin our Paris Corroponden!, that the. Abbe de PRA DT'S view of Russian policy, and what ought to have been done to thwart it, coin- cities with our own : " PARIS, OCT. 24. " By private letters from Semlin, of the sth of October, it appears that the advanced guard of General Krassowski was already on its march towards the Pruth, and as the corps &armee was immediately to follow, the communications be tween Shumla and Adrianople would soon be entirely free. " Such of the Russian troops as had ap peared within two leagues of Sophia, in the rear of the Paella of Scutari, had received orders to remain provisionally in their positions. They amount it is said to 20,000 effective men. " In consequence of orders received from Constantinople by the Paella of Scutari, the Albanians under his command were immediately to return to their own country, while the Turkish troops in the corps of the Paella were to proceed to Shumla, where they would be under the orders of the Grand Vizier. It is supposed that the latter 'would send the regular troops to the gar risons of the interior, and that the others would be disbanded. " Such movements were of course to be ex pected as a necessary consequence of the new ar rangements ; but it is no doubt a more interest ing subject of inquiry to look to the ulterior and more remote results of the great change which has taken place in the aspect of eastern affairs. An article on this subject, ascribed to the pen of the Abbe de Pradt, has appealed in the Courricr Francais, to which I take the liberty of directing your attention, although you will see that it is in several respects materially at variance with the views I have adopted as to the policy of Russia. After arguing that the power of the Russian Empire is out of all proportion to the rest of Europe, and that the geNeral in terest requires that it should be kept in check on the South and East, the learned Abbe thus proceeds:— " < The utmost efforts of diplomacy should have been directed to the reinforcement of the barrier which closed against R ussia " the passage to the Mediterranean. Two means of closing this presented themselves, " either by supporting Turkey, or by sub " stituting in its.place a Greek State of suffi " cient power. The preference was given to " Turkey, but the support afforded was in " efficient. A prodigious consumption of " notes took place, but while these were pre- . " ' paring Russia scaled the Balkan , and crush ed: " the Ottoman army. With a more manly a nti " consistent system nothing of this kind could " have happened. The support of Empires by notes is an invention of modern diplo ,, macy. The result of this wise conduct is that Turkey exists no longer ; and that there " is no Greece. If they do still exist, it is " rather as a burden than as a support to " Europe. Is it not pitiful to hear the magna ', nimous moderation of the Emperor Nicholas boasted of? Did Russia then push her bat ', talions under the very walls of Constantinople " to learn lessons of humanity and moderation ? 6 Henceforth the policy of Europe has only " ' one object, namely, that of securing herself " against the preponderance of Russia. To " what will Europe owe her chain and the laborious occupations in reserve for her ? " To the, weakness, and the want of foresight " ' and unanimity, of those who superintend her affairs. Since the Congress of Vienna error 66 has succeeded error. America has been left . " to tear its own vitals ; the whole of the Sou th 66 of Europe exists not for itself, but as a do " main of Monks—a paradise of Jesuits. No 66 vigour has been displayed except in crushing " the infant nations guilty of claiming the " price of their blood, and the fulfilment of the " promises made to them in the day of neces " city; and in persecuting those proscribed for " their political opinions. At Berlin medals " are struck for every victory of the Russians. " England, with her fleets, will not stop th e " Russian battalions. And France, afflicted 66 with sixty Administrations in the space 01. " fifteen years, has to devote her attention tn, herself, rather than to Russia ; for her real " and her greatest enemies are in her own " bosom. The Empire exercised by Fr ance gg g has passed to the North ; the word of cony " mand long given at Paris is now to iss u l i from St. Petersburgh ; and in spite of !l a that may be said by levity or pride it u'' . " " continue to be given there." " I make this long quotation from the Pap er of the Abbe de Pradt, because I entirely c° ° : cur in the conclusion at which he has arrived► that the power of Russia has acquired a grea t and dangerous preponderance from her late stir, ceases ; although I cannot join in the gene l; declamation against the excessive ambition, au the passion for territorial aggrandizement, t°l, which it is not to be denied that the Court ° Russia was formerly amenable. It appears 8° me that the extinction of the Ottoman Povree as well as the increasing preponderance of t°o influence of Russia, are both imputable t, causes with which the ambition or the mod eri tion of the Emperor Nicholas has very littl e; to do ; and it seems to me to be the 01°r 61 important that the subject should be tre l t e s in this light, since, if it were to be regarde d a personal question, and if we were to depre c . s o te s the motives which have given rise to the els i rre , of Russia in her late Treaty with the Fl ed , such a line of argument would be only cl eo t lated to lead to heats and animosities, vi ll l . o e advancing a step towards the solution of the tde be • question at issue. For it still remains to belt of termined what is to be done with the wr ec io to this great empire, which is obviously falli n gAilY ruin. If some decisive measure be not sP-i 4.5 adopted, I hold it to be clear that nuldbe f r;Ze o quarrels must arise regarding the division Ott° wa tt spoil, and that every province of the mete empire will hereafter become a bone of c o fight tion for those who are strong enough t° tivo for it, unless the interests of Europe b e i r, th e ; 14 : 1 ' ttii 40 P ten 4eel
