taken place in that capital, and such is the way to which- the people manifest their discontent.— The Sultan has reigned by force and terror—by Powerful means—as long as fortune was for him ; but, pressed by an enemy encamped under his walls, surrounded by a di scourage d a r my, and by a popula bo" e xasperated at the approach of danger, it is pro able that the has net been able to bury himself in ruins of Constantinople, according to his declared Intention. It would have been necessary, for that purpose, t h at h i s energy shou ld h ave commun i cate d elf to his people and his soldiers, and the rapid s t u eeesses of the Russians prove that he alone was resolved to m a k e a d es p era t e resistance.

At the opening of the h a rp aign an En g lish fleet in the Black Sea might 11 ,ave kept Russia in awe; now it is no longer time, the fleet is not ready, and in any case it would ar rive too late.

(From the Constitutionnel of Saturday.) The Con s tit u ti one l, after giving the extract from th e Gazette d e M un ich, respecting the affair of Ket- yisa, says—" The taking of Constantinople, if thise news be confirmed, will only be the signal for a g‘ re ater politic a l movement in Europe. England has Il eelared that Turkey, as an independent Power, was n ecessary to the equilibrium of Europe, and espe cially to the commercial interests of Great Britain. Austria was alarmed at finding herself in contact w ith what the English call the giant of the North. It will then be necessary to drive this giant back to- Wards the Pole; this will be the task of the giant of the seas, united to Austria. But the combined force s of the two Powers would not be sufficient to attai n the result which is desired. The assistance of France would be necessary. It would be neces sary for her to display her force in order to calm the fears of Austria, and ensure to England, in case of *w ar, the possession of Malta, the lonian Islands, a nd her commercial influence in the Levant. " In truth, England and Austria, who did not S uer us to reserve our ancient limits, who pillaged :"* museum, an d enr iched themselves with the ran som we paid th em , would come with good grace to u s to draw for them the chesnuts from the fire.

Etas LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1829. The Journal of St. PetersburgTc at length furnishes us with the detailed account of the operations of General PASKEWITSCH in Asia— operations not less important in their future re sults than those of DIEBITSCH in Europe. "In the short space of fourteen days," says General PASKEWITSCH in his official despatch to the EMPEROR, " in fourteen days after leav• ing the provinces conquered last year, your Ma jesty's brave troops have passed two lofty chains of mountains still covered with snow—have de- stroyed the Turkish army—taken two camps, with the important fortress of Hassan Kale—a' the enemy's parks of artillery, and his field pieces ; and, having thus made it impossible For him to think of defence, have oblige, an to deliver up the centre of his power in the East, a fortress and a citadel which might have sustained a siege; lastly, they have taken pr; soners the SERASKIER himself, Commander-in Chief of the Army and Governor of all Asiatic Turkey, and four of hisprincipal Paellas." That is, the army have captured Erzeroum, and destroyed or dispersed the powerful bands ar rayed by the PORTE for the defence of its Asiatic frontiers. They have done more—by paralyzing the force in Asia, they have put it out of the power of the Turks to draw any further resources from that quarter that can at all relieve the distresses of the SUL ' TAN in his most critical moment. But then we are told that the SULTAN still holds out, with a fatality or stubbornness blind to all consequences. He even proposes leaving Con stantinople to the mercy of the victo rious Russians, and seeking an ignoble refuge for himself in some obscure town in Asia. this really be so, we begin to think that the character of the SULTAN has been most liberally overrated, and that he is but after all a more successful barbarian than his brother predecessors in the work of solitary strangula tion and carnage en 7nasse. He has obtained a character for promptitude and firmness by his cold-btOoded butchery of the Janissaries, whom he first beguiled into confidential se curity, mad afterwards deliberately murdered by wholesale, that he might the more ' securely mould the multitude, not in the march of im provement, but to the implicit obedience of his despotic will. On every side his boasted preparations now fail him, and yet he affects to hold out with a confidence in the good offices of the Prophet, or the interposition of the Great Powers,—which his admirers may call magnanimity, but which more shrewd ob servers will term downright arrogance or blind presumption. _ _ From r tne present appearances of the opera tions hi Europe, we shall not be surprised to hear that the Russians are at this moment before the walls of Constantinople—which from the state of the fortifications on the land side cannot hold out a week. In proof of this opinion we have the evidence of a very sensible and popular traveller (Mr. MADDEN), who in his recent journal of his residence in Turkey, has the following observa tions upon the state of the fortifications of Con stantinople on the land side : " The walls on the land side, are in a wretched state; the fosse is, in many places, quite filled up with rubbish ; behind it three walls are placed at short distances, the last of which is flanked with towers. The wall 3 are in such a ruin balls would bring ous state, that a very few them to the ground. On the Adrianople side they have tumbled altogether, and have been replaced by a single wall of no strength. On this side, Constantinople certainly could not stand a siege of ten days. The water is supplied from with out the walls, and the construction of the city is such, that a dozen bombs and rockets could hardly fall within its wooden precincts without producing a general conflagration." No French Mail has been received this morn ing, the boisterous state of the weather having prevented the departure of the packet-boat from Calais at the usual time. Halifax Papers to a late date state, that the season had been very flattering to the agricultu rist, particularly in the vicinity of Frederick's town, and promised favourably to the surrounding country generally. Accounts from Naples to the 2d inst. state, lat should peace take place in the East, wheat was expected to fall very considerably in the Neapolitan Market, as the crops had been super abundant all over that country. The letters from Havannah mention, that great trouble had been caused among the dry good dealers of that city, several of the principal ones having stopped payment, and many more failures were expected. More than 21 2 millions of dollars worth of paper had by this been brought into disrepute, which promised to cause great impedi ments to commerce. Papers from Vera Cruz to the middle of June state, that the Mexican Government had not made the best preparation in that place for defence against the Spanish expedition. SANTA ANA was said to have accepted the office of Secretary of War, and was about to lea the province of Veraburgh, for Mexico. We regret to learn that our grand national Theatre, Covent-garden, on whose classic boards we have so often witnessed the splendid triumphs of a SIDDONS, a KEMBLE, and in later days, of an O'NEILL, a YOUNG, and a CHARLES KEMBLE, is at length in a state of absolute ruin. The Court of Chancery and the Star system have been the death of it. The former has marred the tempers, the latter the pockets of its proprietors. Either of these two afflictions is quite sufficient to ruin a theatrical establish ment, no matter how extensive or ably con ducted, but when the two are combined the effect is paralysing—annihilating. A theatre might as soon expect to flourish after such calamities have honoured it with their acquaintance, as a poor Irish peasant to get up and walk home to his mud cabin, after a police man has shot him dead in the streets of Borris o'-Kane. Covent-garden--a crowd of early and delightful associations come thronging on our minds while we state the unwelcome fact—is at length to be sold, not wholesale, to some one public-spirited man of enterprise, but piece-meal and in retail, so that the last hope of its redemptio❑ is shut out. We could reconcile ourselves to the annihilation of the Ultra Tories, we could even console ourselves for the loss of Mr. SADLER and his speeches, manufactured, and to be ma nufactured ; but we cannot get over the wound inflicted on our feelings and our sense of self gratification by the impending ruin of this mag nificent establishment. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CLocr, Canton Papers to the 17th March have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee house, by which it appears that the small pox was raging in Canton, and had occasioned an unprece dented mortality amongst the natives, several thou sands had fallen victims; the crews of foreign ships had also suffered to a considerable extent. (From the Canton Price Current.) Since our last publication very little interest has attended the commerce. All the Indiamen have taken their departure, and the American shipping is daily disappearing. Some few sales have been made in Cotton at a small advance. Patna and Benares Opium have been on the decline. New York Papers have also been received at the above Coffee-house to the 2d of August. It ap pears that a thousand and ninety-eight emigrants arrived at Quebec during the second week in July; with the exception of 30 all were Irish. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yesterday, 88i for the Account, with little speculation going forward at present. The next Russian bulletin is anxiously looked for, which in all probability will decide the fate of the Turkish empire. Indeed it was reported on Saturday even ing at Paris, by accounts received from Vienna, that terms of peace were offered to the Russians. The Hamburg steamer still remains due. The Foreign Market is without a feature to the present time, and the prices are nominal. Three per Cent. Consols, SSi ; Ditto, for Aug., 88i 4 ; Three per Cent.

TWO O'CLOCK. The French mail and Hamburg steamer have not us yet arrived, which causes to the present hour a great dearth of information ; and in the absence of which, reports are in circulation that Prussia has signed an offensive and defensive alliance with Rus sia; also that Constantinople is in possession of the Russians; but these are mere reports, and no doubt emanate from the Stock Exchange. _ _ _ Report also states that the interest of Exchequer Bills is going to be reduced. Owing to the above being circulated, Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at 884 for the Account, have been done at 88a sellers ; and at present may be quoted 88f-, buyers, and for October Account 88.1 i• A sale of 100,0001.

A sale of Mauritius, fine quality, for refining, is going off at an advance. The delivery last week was 3,l 19 hogsheads for home consumption, and 41 hogsheads for exportation, leaving the stock in the West India Docks, 45,562 hogsheads and 4,255 tierces. The transactions in Mauritius are exten sive, 3,280 bags were delivered last week for the home trade, and 1,250 for export. In Foreign and Refined Sugars there is not much doing. COFFEE.—The dealings this morning are on a limited scale at former prices. RUM.—The demand for exportation continues, and the Market generally may be quoted firm. Fine Jamaicas are one penny higher. There were delivered last week from the West India Docks, 907 puncheons,: of which 580 were for exportation. The arrivals continue to be pretty large, and the stock yesterday was 22,422 pun cheons and 1,870 hogsheads. Hors.—The accounts of this morning from the plan tations are again unfavourable, and there is a great in crease in the demand fur hops, at an advance of from 4s. to ss. per cwt. The duty is now called from 30,000/. to 133,000/. . SPICES.—The transactions in Pepper are not on so ex tensive a scale as they were a few days since, hut prices are fully supported. Cinnamon is steady at last sale prices. DRUGS.—The Drugs lately offered have gone off pretty well. The East India sale of HEMP this morning went off very heavily.

SALTPETRE.-There has been an extensive arrival, and the Market is less firm. The mercantile letters to the end of June, received from Honduras, slate that the quantity of Mahogany cut this season was not so great as last year. The whole number of logs cut amounted to 3,596. Commercial advices received to-day from Canton, quote no improvement in the demand for British manufactured goods, and native produce was dull. The intercourse be tween Canton and the Australian settlements was become more extended, and there was every prospect of a consi derable trade being carried on. British manufactured Chintz, of 28 yards, fetched from 4 to 5 dollars ; Long Cloths, of 40 yard, 5} to 6?, dollars; Muslins, 34, to 40 yards, 24 to 3 dollars; Cambrics, of 12 yards, l to 2 dollars ; and Monteiths Bandameos, to 2 dollars per piece.

Several witnesses were examined, alter which the Jury retired, and consulted fur about twenty minutes, when they returned the following verdict:—" That the deceased RICHARD LAMBOURN came to his death by a wound in.. theteil by himself on his throat, being at the time of un sound mind." It is said that ROWLAND STEPIIENSON has been for some time residing in Bristol, Pa., and the report goes that he has purchased Dr. SHIPPEN'S establishment and farm in that vicinity.--Boston Paper.

Yesterday afternoon, as his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON was coining into town over Westminster bridge, in his travelling carriage and post horses, from Dartford, nearly opposite OLIVER'S Coffee-house, at the foot of the bridge, the hor s e on which the postilion rode fell, and it was dragged several yards before the carriage could be stopped. Several watermen and others imme diately ra❑ to the carriage to render assistance, and in • stantly recognized his Grace, who in the kindest mintier thanked them for their attention, and requested the door of the carriage to he opened that he might get out. His Grace, on alighting, seemed particularly anxious about the postilion, and repeatedly inquired if he was hurt. On being informed that he was not materially injured, his Grace gave - some directions to his servants, and pro ceeded on foot to Downing-street. The horse was very much cut, and seriously injured. Another horse having been procured, the carriage was taken to his Grace's re sidence. Lord CLARE, Lord, CARLTON, and Lon] ALVA NT. EY, are additional instances, within the memory of most men now living, to our former list of individuals ; who have advanced themselves to the dignity of the Peer-. sge by their legal eminence.

General Sir DAVID Baum, G.C.B. and K.C.G. This lamentabk event took!place at his seat, Ferntower, in Perthshire, on Teesday last, the 18th inst. By his death the Government of Fort George and the Colonelcy of the 24th Regiment are vacant.

DUBLIN, AuG. 21.—The bills against Mr. JOHN Ews, who headed the Orangemen at Newry in July last, were ignored. This, after the charge of Judge JEBB, or indeed even if that charge were not made, will surprise no one. We understand that his MAJESTY has ex pressed his earnest desire for the speedy completion of his new Palace at Pimlico, in consequence of which addi tional hands have been put to the works, and the number of persons now employed amount to 1,000. Notwith standing this augmentation of workmen, the issue of mon , y is restricted, by order of the Duke of WELLINGTON, to 30,0001. per quarter. At one time the enormous sum of 10,0001. a-week was expended ; but most of the costly ma terials being now in store, the expenditure is confined al most entirely to labour. As soon as this Palace is com pleted, the old one of St. James's is to be taken down, and plans for laying out the grounds are now in the office of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. We are cre dibly informed that Mr. Nast' has promised to have the new Palace ready for occupation by the 12th of August, 1830. Observer.

ERRATUM.—In a passage in the " Pope's Encyclic Letter" in our last, for " translations of lives of the saints," read " translations of the Scriptures." ODESSA, JuLY 19 (31).—A few eases of plague have occurred within the space included by the cor don, but no symptom has appeared beyond it. The town continues consequently free. Commissaries are named by the Governor, to visit regularly twice a day every house in , the town, so that the least symptom may be immediately made known. ST. SWITIIIN AND THE WEATHER.—The reign of Saint SwrrniN (forty days and forty nights) ter minated yesterday (Monday), and, by way of a bonne bouche at parting, we suppose, be gave us a tolerable spe cimen of his powers. It is to be hope d that the sun, whose visits this summer has been like those of an g el s , " few and far between," will give us his countenance rather oftener during the remainder of autumn. THE CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. • have refrained from addressing you lately, not because I am become an inattentive observer of passing events, nor because there is less of interest in them,--but because I am dis- gusted with the continued workings of a narrow, sordid, selfish, party spirit, which would sacri fice every thing most dear to the heart of a true patriot, for the attainment of its own exclusive objects—repossession of political power, and the resumption of bigotted opinions. Disap pointed in their hope of overawing the Govern ment, and of influencing the Representatives of the people to abandon a measure, on the issue of which were suspended the present safety and future stability of the United Empire, there still exists a party amongst us, who, having fore- boded nothing but evil from its success, are using every exertion, however base and disho nourable, to verify their predictions ; but notwith standing all that has since occurred, I trust they will prove to be prophets as false as they are heartless. There is a party, I say, though in significant in number as in respectability, actuated by these unworthy motives. A portion of the public press, and certain individuals not con nected with it, by mis-stating facts and asserting falsehoods, continue to harass men's minds, by leading them to suppose we are on the eve of some mighty change—some great political con vulsion, which will place the Protestant Chw - clt in danger ; whereas, all this outcry and assumed alarm may be resolved into petty intrigue and vulgar clamour. A Noble Lord (Eldon), who was most strenuous and persevering in his opposition to the Roman Catholic claims, de clared it to be his intention, as it was his duty, to respect and uphold the Relief Bill when once it should become law. Nor has he, to all ap pearance at least, acted inconsistently with his professions ; but have the party followed his example ? We have one notorious instance to the contrary. Mr. Sadler, in addressing his constituents at Newark, calls it an " iniquitous measure." This may be Parliamentary language ; but I ask, if it be in discharge of his duty as a Legislator, that he thus expresses himself out of Parliament, on the subject of a statute which is now part and parcel of the Constitution—l ask if this be the method he takes to induce the people to obey the laws—may not this gentleman he styled an Agitator, with as much propriety as Mr. O'Connell, or Mr..Shiel, or Mr. Steele, or Mr. O'Gorman ? Their agitation consisted in exciting the people to clamour for the measure, Wore it became law. His agitation tends to excite the people to clamour against it, after it has become the constituted law of the land.— Is this politic, is it expedient, is it decent ? Who is the greatest offender ? He who merely clamours for a measure in progress, or he who seeks to subvert the laws, or at least to make men discontented with them ? And who echoes Mr. Sadler ? Is it the people of England ? No. Is it the people of Ireland ? No. It is only a factious, venal press in this country, aided by Messrs. Cobbett .and Hunt ! These latter worthies were uniformly opposed to relieving the Catholics, because they knew the natural result of the measure must be to promote peace ; and they did not foresee (what they now so rejoice to see) that a disappointed party would continue to disturb the quiet of the empire, in order to make their words come true, or in the vain hope of inducing Government to repeal the Act of last session. Thus are the opposers of the Bill aiding the Radical cause, which would other wise be utterly hopeless. For there are few men so visionary as to advocate universal suffrage and annual Parliaments, as a scheme good in itself; and still fewer so base as to promote it, with a view to the ultimate overthrow of the Constitu tion. lam disposed to consider Mr. O'Con nell, who makes common cause with the Radicals, as belonging to the former class. His first ad dress to the Freeholders of Clare, projected much that is impracticable, and much that would be mischievous if practicable ; and his phraseo logy savoured of vanity and quackery. But notwithstanding Mr. O'Connell's intemperance, Mr. Shiers imaginative blasphemy, and Mr. O'Gorman's seditious threatenings,—notwith standing certain factious Editors of the English press,—notwithstanding the proclamation of Hunt and Cobbett, who, after a period of quietism, have come forward again, first to op pose the Catholic Relief Bill, and next to turn the honest prejudices of the mob to their own base purposes,—notwithstanding these inaus picious alliances, I trust the good sense and good feeling of the people will frustrate the machinations both of professed enemies and false friends ; and that the arm of Government will be directed to put down all agitators, whe. ther Protestant or Catholic. Let us call on every honest man, Sir,—every lover of his country,—to lay aside all party views, and to consult only the general good. Every per sonalconsideration should be lost sight of, in the contemplation of public tranquillity and national prosperity. Instead of writing foolish essays, to prove that " the Constitution has been sacri telittni:('lem will meet with the sacri ficed," all men, who have really the good of their country at heart, should unite to support the Government. Though some disappointed, discontented individuals assert the contrary, we never had a stronger Government. That he who has steered the vessel of the State amid the storm of contending parties was ever assailable Irish agitators coiefldopemdola. of f t Ngvraasceonshtohue ldhiegxh. assume, were national nr recognized j g t i t i s i t z i e c ( e i by fear, or that intimidation could ever produce a change of purpose in his breast if unconvinced of its propriety, is an hypothesis too untenable to require an argument. Whatever the vanity of Homan claatyl. Catholicgsi ssuu equity yect e l i r ne easonable expectations, those who enter same even handed justice at his hands ; and be made to feel that time Government which was awake to the just claims of the Roman Catholics, will be fou:ad the watchful guardian of the Protestant Ch.arch.
