THE KING. WINDSOR, OCT. 16.—The weather during the week has been such as to enable his MAJESTY daily to enjoy the airings in the vicinity of the Royal Lodge, from two o'clock until five, accompanied by a portion of the Royal suite. From the great variety and extent of drives in the Park, his MAJESTY mostly chooses a different one from that of his pre ceding excursion, visiting his favourite retreats in the directicn taken. On Tuesday last the KING drove through the town to the Castle in his pony pl.seton, and after alighting proceeded to his apart ments in the east front, where he made a short stay, he afterwards drove into the newly-made pleasure grounds, and inspected the bronze statues and vases which are now nearly all placed in the situations as signed them. His MAJESTY, after visiting the Orangery, returned through the Home Park, and visited her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA at Frogmore Lodge, the object of which, we are given to understand, was to communicate to his Royal Sister that his visit to Brighton having been post poned, Marlborough House, which her Royal High ness has occupied fur the last two seasons, will be again at her service this year. The report of his MA JESTY'S intention not to visit Brighton was first communicated to us after the breaking up of the Council on Monday; but so sudden was the change that we hesitated in giving credit to the report. It is now known to be a fact, that his MAJESTY'S intention is again to occupy. the Royal Palace at Windsor during the approaching winter season. The KING'S residence at the Royal Lodge will con l i - tinue for some time, perhaps a month ; and should the weather be favourable, his MAJESTY will con tinue those recreations which have proved so con ducive to his;health. Little preparation will be re quisite to get the apartments at the Castle fit for his MAJESTY'S occupancy, and orders are already issued for the completion, with all possible despatch, of the new portico building at the private entrance in the quadrangle of the Castle. His MAJESTY will visit the metropolis in the early part of the spring for nearly two months ; and during his residence at the Castle and London, the projected improvements will be made at the Royal Lodge, which are to be finished in June next. The Giraffe, which expired on Sunday last, is now dissecting- by Messrs. GouLD and '1 OSIICINS, of the Zoological Gardens, to which Society, we under stand, his MAJESTY intends making the skin a pre sent when stuffed. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

STATE OF CONSTANTINOPLE IN THE BEGINNING OF I. SST MONTH. (raost A LETTER. DATED CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 4.) For the last week Constantinople exhibits a reign of terror; wii:tt the sword of the enemy, plague, and famine spare, the executioner removes. Nightly hundreds are strangb2d, and thrown into the Sea of Marmora; and every day numbers of the better class are beheaded in the streets, and left where they fall, for a public example. At every turn one sees an execution or beholds a headless corpse. This is characteristic; the sufferer, unbound and unbandaged, kneels to receive the fatal blow. The body is then stretched on its back, the head placed under its right arm, and on the breast the sentence is laid. The causes of this well-tinted and necessary severity are as follow :—On the rapid approach of the Russians the Janisswies every where showed their un tameable spirit ;—they rose in various parts of the kingdom, and in this city formed a plot to fire it from and to end, assassinate the guards of the Sultan, depose him , a nd elevate his youngest son on the ruins. Their mutinous feelings were too openly declared not to be observed. The news of the capture of Adrianople, and the complete evidence of the conspiracy, were known on the same day. The Sultan immediately took his measures, sent Plenipotentiaries (the Teftadar and an Ulema) tc. the Russian camp, and unsheathed the sword of justice. His officers, in disguise, frequent the plisc.s of public resort, and wo to the wretch on whom suspicion attaches I—his head rolls 7 . Incon ceivable is the panic impressed on Constantinople, and fearful the anticipation of the slaughter of the Janiasarfes which must take place. They show that no terms can be kept with them, and they must re ceive another were lesson. Thirty thousand heads fell last 6me ;,—.ll-4t:i.er such weeding may quell tiwir turbulence. AN HoNoLTRABLE POOR MAlJ.—There is now living at Coughton, Warwickshire, a poor labourer of the name of James SmALLwooD ; he is about eighty years of age, and has for some time received from B.!oley, in Worcestenhire, his place of settlement for his support, two shillings and sixpence a week. SMALLWOOD having received a very small legacy lately fund cne of his sons, (out of his savings in servitude), has paid lyLck to the officers of Beoley parish- - hii weekly pay of 2s. 6d. per week, for forty seven weeks, the sum which he bad in his need received from them. In this singular and praise worthy transaction it is worthy of remark, that the legacy left to SMALLWOOD, at the rate of 4.4. 6d. a week, will support him about three years.

Despatches were received at the Foreign office this morning from Mr. MATTHEWS, the British Minister at Lisbon ; from Mr. ASTON, at the Brazils ; and from the various Consuls in the South American States. Despatches were also received at the Colonial office, from Sir FREDERICK ADAM, Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands ; from the Hon. F. PONSONBY, Lieutenant-Governor of Malta; and from the British Consul at Morocco. Lisbon Papers have been received to the sth October, but they contain no news of particular interest. The usual mock rejoicings took place on Michaelmas Day, which are got up on such occasions in honour of MIGUEL and his adopted Saint : __ LISBON, SEPT. 29. The okicial part of the Gaxette contains a resolu tion of his Majesty, signed by the Minister of Eccle siastical Affairs and Justice, to the effect, that his Majesty having been informed that in some parts of the kingdom, especially Minho and Tras-os-Montes, legal proceedings are still pending, which were com menced in 1826, against individuals accused of op posing the extinct and proscribed form of Con stitutional Government, an opposition which ought now to be considered as proving the loyalty with which his Majesty's faithful subjects detested such a monstrous innovation on the fundamental laws of this monarchy; and his Majesty desiring that per sons implicated in such proceedings should be spared the inconvenience and expense of being discharged from these proceedings ; and also that for the public good, and the promotion of general union and con cord, these deplorable evidences of past dissentions should be suppressed ; he has been pleased to order that all these documents and papers, even without any request of the parties concerned, shall be trans mated to the Minister of Justice in the state in which they now are.—Dated Queluz, Sept. 22, 1829. To-day (Michaelmas -day) being the fete (Saint's day) of our beloved and august Sovereign, the co lours were displayed in the forts and all the vessels at anchor in the Tagus, and salutes fired at -day break, noon, and sun-set. At eleven o'clock, a numerous concourse of the most distinguished persons of all classes, began to repair to the palace of Ajuda, as on this happy day they had the high honour to kiss the hand of his Majesty. Our Sovereign was pleased to receive ull with the august and paternal affability of a King, who by so many and sacred ties is rendered dear to his loving and loyal subjects, and to whom for our happiness the destinies of the most faithful Por tuguese nation are confided. In the evening there was a voltintary and splendid illumination of the whole capital. Papers and letters have been received from Buenos Ayres to the 2d August, from which we make the following extracts : BUENOS AYRES, JUNE 23. In consideration of the services rendered to the public cause by the foreigners of all nations, who have taken up arms to contribute to the security and peace of this capital during the last few months, in cluding those who in compliance with the law have entered the service, and also those French citizens who generously continued even when they had per mission to abandon it, the Government of the pro vince has directed — Foreigners of all nations who have taken up arms in any of the corps of the city militia of this capital shall have the right of citizenship of the province of Buenos Ayres, and enjoy all the rights of citizens equally with the natives. JULY 4.—Don Jose Augustin Barbosa, jun., has been recognised by the Government of this Republic as Consul General from Brazil. JULY 23.—0 n Sunday and Monday last it was currently reported that an important victory had been gained by General Paz over the forces of Gene rals Quiroga and Bustos. The official account o. the battle was published yeaterday. General Paz formed his army in three columns, the right commanded by La Madrid, the centre by Colonel Deesa, and the left by the Go vernor of Tucuman, General D. Favier Lopez ; the reserve by Colonel Pedernera. On the 22d June the army of Quiroga, amounting to 5,000 men, was completely defeated. On the 23d, whilst General Paz was marching for the town, having his whole force formed in one column, he was again boldly at tacked by Quiroga,who had been reinforced by infantry from the garrison. After a severe contest General Paz was again victorious. Quiroga lost upwards of 1,000 killed, and 700 prisoners. Captain D. Dio- L nisio Tejedos, the bearer of a flag of truce from Gen. Paz, was shot from an azotea. On the 7th July, at half•past ten at night, Capt. Gooding, of his Britannic Majesty's packet the Cygnet, returning to his hotel, was attacked by two men, one of whom aimed a blow at him with a knife, which the Captain parried with his umbrella, and hastened to a guard-house, where the Officer on duty ordered three soldiers to attend him to his hotel. On the night of the 14th July some sailors of his Britannic Majesty's frigate Tribune, having gone on shore, got into a quarrel at a public•house with some natives and foreigners, and a boat being sent to bring them back to the ship, they were followed to the beach by their opponents, who attacked then► with swords, bayonets, knives, oars, • &c. The seamen, who were unarmed, wrenched the ours from their assailants, and resisted as well as they could. One of the Tribune's men was killed, and the coxswain and two other men wounded by stabs with a sword or bayonet. The man killed and the wounded were taken on board the Laurel brig. An inquiry has been instituted into this unfortunate business. The following letter has been received from the Agent to the North and South American Coffee-house, dated Buenos Ayres, July 30:— My last letter informed you that peace bet Ween the belligerent parties in the civil war, which has desolated this province since the revolution of the Ist Dec. 1828, was signed on the 24th of June. One of the conditions of which was, that an election for Representatives of the Provinces should take place, and they should elect a Go vernor, &c. On the 2Gth July the said election was cele brated, and as party spirit is very violent here, every pre caution was taken to preserve the peace of this city. The election has been in favour of the Unitarian party, that is, of those who promoted the Revolution. The Federal party complain of undue influence. At any rate dissatisfaction prevails. Moderate men wish that some sacrifice of opinion hail been made, and that indivi duals to represent the city in the Senate had been elected who might have conciliated the Country party, who, in spite of the boasts of the Unitarians, are the most power ful party of the two. As it is, alarm prevails of renewed disturbances ; every one is anxious to know the opinion of die Federal Chieftain (Don Juan Manuel Rosas) upon the result of the election. He remains about twenty miles from Buenos Ayres, at the head of a formidable body of his Gauche troops. Indeed, I fear, this poor country is far from being in a settled state. The Unitarian party is in high spirits in consequence of successes obtained by Gen. Paez at Corilova, and the defeat of the Federal Chiefs Bustos and Quiroga. The two latter, however, are still in the field, and vow revenge. The dispute between Buenos Ayres and the province of Santa Fe is not yet accommodated, in fact the provinces of the Argentine Republic are fighting each other with as touch animosity, or even more than was ever displayed by European nations in their wars. I am not politician enough to guess what will be the probable results of all this confusion, one thing is certain, that the nation on the Ist December, 1828, was and had been for a considerable period in the greatest tranquillity, but since the unfortu nate revolution effected by the military on that day civil war has raged in almost every province ; surely this speaks volumes, and the most prejudiced must allow, that however highly the Unitarian system of Government may be ap preciated in this city, it is no: congenial to the nation generally, nor even out of the precincts of the city itself. The commercial community here are justly alarmed at the state of affairs. Exchange 'Ton England is at 9 to 91 pence per dollar, doubloons 85 dollars each ; the consump tion of imports here is now in a manner confined to Buenos Ayres, formerly the provinces from this to the Andes sere consumers, and forwarded the produce of their country in return. The following are the late British arrivals : June 30—Brig Cordilla, Dunlop, from Liverpool. July 3—Brig James Lauglilon, Dawson, ditto. July 7—Brig Zeno, Lawson, ditto. July I9—Ship .Huddersfield, Mattliewson, ditto. July 27—Brig Mary Ann, Richards, ditto. Aug. 17—Brig Sir James Saumarez, Mahon, from Rio Janeiro. SAILINGS. June 30—Brig Britannia, Ferris, for Monte Video. Jnne SO—Brig Devonshire, Strickland, for Liverpool. July 1--Brig Voluna, Mathias, for Monte Video. The brigs Mary, Lee, Brazil Packet, Crow, and Men curt', Brown, will sail in about a fortnight. We have commercial Letters from Smyrna to the sth ult. Opium was in good request. The cotton crop was very abundant this year and the quality good. The Exchange on France was 1082. Letters from Rio Janeiro of the 28th Aug. give the Exchange at 26 to 26k, and the Stock at 64* to 65 per cent. Spanish dollars were 1950 reas each. We have no further news from Constanti• noble nor from any part of the theatre of war— for hostilities can hardly yet be said to have ceased. Probably by Monday we shall have something authentic about the reported junction and war like demonstration of the PAcitits in the western provinces. The commercial advices from Alexandria state that the crop of indigo of the first, second, and third qualities, was valued at 22,000 acques, and had been some time.on sale. The PAcIIA had rejected the price of 4 piastres, which had been offered for the whole quantity. The price of Jumel cottons, which would appear in two moliths, had been fixed at 12 piastres per quin tal, exclusive of the duties and charges of the Government. The crop of cottons was valued at 700 qs. which would be sold at 9 2-3 d piastres the 44 acques.—Gum Arabic was less scarce, but without being less sought for, and the price was 20 to 26 piastres, according to quality. The Egyptian Government would, it was expected, make good sales of the various products of the country, and it was estimated the sum raised would be 600 millions of hard piastres. The exchange was rather falling. The result of the enquiries into the smuggling transactions, of which we have lately heard so much, appears perfectly satisfactory, so far as regards Lord STUART, but quite the reverse, as affects the revenue of this country and of France. All that Lord STUART could do was to repudiate the goods, and to dismiss the ser vant who had thus abused his master's privi lege. The former he did ; and there was no reason to suppose he would have neglected the other, if his Lordship could have ascertained that the delinquent belonged to his establish ' ment. The example of Mr. CANNING, who instantly dismissed his butler upon his being identified as the person who attempted to smug gle the silks that were seized three years ago in that Minister's baggage, is one which we are sure no Ambassador of honourable feeling, like Lord STUART, would hesitate to follow. The fact is notorious enough that these trans actions are effected by couriers and servant?, in collusion with tradesmen in London and Paris. The vigilance of revenue officers occasionally detects them, but the total amount of which the Government is annually defrauded must be very considerable. In the present state of excitement in the silk trade in this country, and the equally strong suspicions of the cotton trade in France, in which branches the most smuggling is carried on, it really seems matter for consideration whether it would not be much better if Ambas sadors werelmade to pay the duties on house- hold articles like other people, and, if necessary, reimbursed the amount by Government. The privilege is really trifling in itself, and if it be so convenient a cloak for fraud as appears to be the case, the public interest requires its sacrifice—if sacrifice that alteration could be called which would indemnify the Ambassadors for charges upon their goods, instead of exempting them from duty altogether. TUE FUNDS.-(TI - 115 DAY.) CITY, Twwir e CLOCK. We have the arrival of several foreign mails this morning.

We hare a great number of foreign arrivals, par ticularly from South America; the information from Buenos Ayres is not of a favourable description; the civil war still rages in that country. The letters from Rio Janeiro are of the 27th August; we do not hear of any political information of consequence from that quarter. The Exchange at Rio Janeiro was 26.

The following observations on rabies are made by Mr. Hertwich, Professor at the Veterinary School at Berlin, in a work which he has recently published. Their extension may be useful : " The two different forms of rabies, the one of which Dr. Hufeland calls the acute or fierce, and the other the chronic or quiet rabies, are not two distinct diseases ; for inoculation from an animal affected with the one was fiequently observed to produce the other. In the acute rabies, the dogs are observed to change their manners, and to be come either more lively and irritable, or more lazy and morose ; they generally become of very changeable temper, and are, at times, seized with restlessness, which forces them to run about ; most of them know and obey their master until a very short time before death. At the commencement of the disease the animals often show a great desire to lick cold things. They lose their appetite, especially for solid food, but frequently eat wood, turf, straw, or their faeces ; this symptom is very characteristic, and the con tents of the stomach iu the post-mortem exami nations of dogs are of the greatest importance to determine whether there has been rabies or not. No rabid dog shows a dread of water at any period of the disease ; they drink, lick, and be hold it, without any dislike, and sometimes ex hibit even a great avidity for it, although they often have some difficulty in swallowing it, on account of the swelling in the throat ; there is also no dread of light, nor any dislike on looking at shining surfaces, or being exposed to a cur rent of air. EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE.—A farmer in the parish of Halberton, states that he has four and a half acres of orchard, which will produce 300 hogsheads of eider.—Dorset Chronicle. A servant of Mr. FRAMPTON'S, at his Lodge, Axminster, has two young hares who are suckled by a cat, and she is as fond of them as if they were her own offspring, and even follows them in the fields.—Dor set Chronicle. FEMALE PEDESTRIAN..—.On Monday last a woman,. 61 years of age, a native of Berkahire, under. took to walk in Ranelagh Gardens, i't this city, 96 mi!es in 24 hours. She started at four o'clock in the after noon, and performed her task 11 minutes within the time, having only stopped once for ten minutes to take refre.h merit. We understand that about 101., taken for admiss sion into the gardens, was given to her as a remuneration for her trouble.—Norwich Chronicle. ANECDOTE OF COLONEL NAPIER'S HIS- T() RT.-For the following very fair testimonl to an au thor's merit we can vouch from our own knowledge. A lady having procured Colonel NArnia's History, was so much interested by it, as to continue reading it all day; her delight and ardour increasing, she read it all night ; with unabated pleasure she ceased not to peruse it daring t he whole of the following day; and absolutely, in order to finish it, sat up the second night I Whether this be most conclusive of the soldier's genius or the lady's perse verance, our readers must decide.— United ServiceJourn.

ABUNDANT CoRN MARKET.—Whether from the occurrence o f the Michaelmas rent day, an ex pectation of a demand for seed, the general scarcity of money, the evils of which affect the farmers as well a s most other classes of the community, or from all these causes combined, the supply of corn at our market last Saturday was more extensive !than has been k nown for years.

Another brilliant audience assembled here last night, such as our theatres have seldom in these latter days presented. The dregs circle was almost wholly occupied by parties evidently belonging t° the first clasges in society, and the pit was cramtne", with highly respectable people. Miss KESIBLE COW tinues to suffer from cold and cough, but her entho" siusm in her sudden course of triumph seems to be, above the reach of such impediments. She play e d last night so as to charm all who beheld her, a n , her exertions were frequently interrupted and sill' pended by plaudits which the audience could not restrain. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. This theatre presented last night a variety of 110• velties—namely, novelties " absolute," and novelties " relative." By the former we understand per formers making their first appearance on the metro' poliran boards. This class, though confined to the. debut of a single individual, proved very attractive . The performance was the comedy of The Soldierti Daughter', when Miss MORDAUNT, making he first appearance in London, sustained the cloy, ratter of the Widow Cheerly. Her person being, elegant, she commanded those long rounds 0 applause, the never-failing concomitant of a pretii face and fine figure, long before she had au on portunity of opening her lips, but heightene d the favourable impression at first produced ai she proceeded. In the closing scene, when stepping out of the line to give the word f command, Si" made a happy extemporaneous allusion to her debut , questioning the audience, with a profound curtest, whether the next movement should be approbation.: pity, or death ? when tremendous rounds of nlr plunge brought in a verdict of the first a lternative . Miss MORDAUNT'S elegant person, lady-like manneret vivacity, and sprightliness, are sure to render her 4 ' favourite with the public in genteel comedy; and when Mr. JONES (the Frani Hearthall of the evening) a! nounced:the play for repetition on Tuesday night, th e audience testified its satisfaction as it had done through' out. In DIBDIN'S comic opera, The Waterman, lO r ' INCLEDON made his first appearance in Torn TOP He sung well, and the compass of his voice de not seem so limited as it has been represente d ' He was encored in the " Bay of Biscay 0 ," an d " one or two other songs. SURREY THEATRE. Mr. ELLISTON has made in his bills of the SurOf Theatre the following announcement :—" A mist having occurred in some of the legal technicalities necessary to confirm the order for the injunctio'l granted in consequence of the exparte depositiO made by Messrs.
