TERCEIRA. • Letters from this island to the 21st of September, Were received in this town on Monday last, from these we learn that no occurrence of moment had taken place since the 11th of • August. There was a blockading squadron of five sail, among them the line-of -battle ship the Don Joao IL, cruising off the island. An order having been issued by the Go vernor, the Conde de Villa Flor, offering a reward of a penny for every cannon ball fired from the Mi guelite squadron upon the island during the late glo rious.defence, about live thousand of these balls had been collected and brought to him. During the at tack a party, consisting of sixty men of the 13th Regiment of Portuguese Infantry, having been or dered to proceed in a boat to a particular point at which they were directed to effect a landing, instead of proceeding in the direction which they were or dered to take, steered for a different point, and their boat striking upon a rock at some distance from the shore, went down, and , every soul perished. The bodies of those who were killed on board the squadron, and in the boats attempting to land, being carried away by the currents in various directions, rendered it impossible to ascertain the number with anything like precision. The body of the celebrated Lieutenant-Colonel Docetel, Commander of one of the Miguelite brigades, who was mortally wound ed durin g the action,. was washed on shore in a coffin some days afterwards. As a proof offthe violence which must have been employed, and the reluctance with which the men employed on this expedition have served against their legiti toate Sovereign Donna Maria 11., it is stated in these letters, .that on examining the muskets of most of the soldiers who, after landing, joined the Queen's standard, the cartridg es were found to have been inverted , so as to potit out of their power to injure those of their loyal countrymen against whom they were led, and t h ey now serve with exultat i on that cause which force alone compelled them for a time-to desert; it also deserves to be recorded, as a convincing proof of their sincerity, that the majority of them had got the unif orm s of th e i r o ld r eg im en t s c oncealed within the lining of their new regimentals. The same spirit is said to pervade every class of in habitants in the island; and so far are they from en tertaining any apprehensions respecting a repetition of an • attemp t on their island, that there are few t hings they so ardently long for as another oppor anity to signalise their valour, and exhibit to the tvorld their heroic devotion to the cause of their )egitimate monarch, the illustrious though unfortunate Queen, Donna Maria de Gloria.—PlyntouMJuurnal ELOPE/sIENT.—This mornincr ) a considerable mob was coll ec t e d i n O x f or d -street, in ri consequence of the teseue of a young runaway female from the arms of an old toted seducer. The circumstances of the case, as far as t hey could be collected, are as follows. This grey-headed reducer being lately liberated from durance rile, where he Was confined on charges of a disreputable nature, had im mediately insinuated himself so far into the good graces of i the lady, w h o h as not et completed her 18th year, that Ole eloped this morning from her parents' house, who are te lPectable people residing in Newman-street, but not Without taking the necessary precaution, confessedly under the •direction o f h er a d m i rer , o f a b s t rac ti ng f rom he r Lather's coffers the sum of 5001. Two young men, her rothers, suspecting her design, immediately pursued h er , !tod coming up with the hackney coach, where the fugitives were suspected to be sitting, the ungracious word stop !" as i° o dly pronounced, and the unwilling maid was dragged hout of th e vehicle and carried to a place of security. Three undred pound s o f th e stolen Money were found on the ,b but the rema i n i ng two h undre d were m i ss i ng, f or tjle recovery of which, and the previous seduction, ac 'on was threatened to be commenced against the seducer . This morning, between nine and ten o'clock, ip elderly woman,- who keeps a brothel in Marylebone, ,ade an attempt to drown herself in the Thames, near B attersea-bridge. She had been observed picking up tones and putting them into her pockets, which were fas tened round her in the usual manner, but outside her ap krel before she made the attempt, which was done in t he p resence o f some c hild ren. A man i n t h e employ of 44. BRISTOW, of Lambeth, who was going down the t iver in a. boat, repaired to the spot, and extricated her f r orn the fate that awaited her. The depth of the water *al not more than six feet, but she was never seen to rise after sh e had plunged in. She had hem about four minutes ill th e water, and on surgical aid being rendered her, she *as . with difficulty resto re d aga i n t o h e r senses, wh e n s h e unit into tears, and assured her deliverer that she had ',gen tot, much in thi s wor ld, an d th a t h e h a d on ly g i ven net life a temporary respite.

Yesterday being the day appointed for the very inte resting contest between Mitchell andPaiish and Campbell and Noulton, four celebrated watermen, for 401., from Westminster-bridge to Putney-bridge with the tide, the amateurs, &e. of the river assembled numerously at West minster. About half-past three the men appeared at their stations, and shortly after the signal was given. Campbell and Noulton shortly went a-head, and at Vauxhall-bridge were six or eight boats length in advance. Their opponents strained every nerve, and although they once or twice drew upon them, they never could come well up; an d on Camp bell and Noulton reaching Putney-bridge the others were IS or 20 boats length in the rear.

THOMAS WICKHAM. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.--Yesterday forenoon the family of Mr. WINCHES, the landlord of the Orange Tree, Fieldgate-street, \Vhitechapel, was plunged into the deepest:distress by the awfully sudden death of his eldest daughter. The deceased was 14 years of age, and was latterly in the habit of assisting her father in his btuti ness. Yesterday morning, while behind the bar, without uttering a syllable of complaint, or giving the slightest in dication of illness, she suddenly fell down and instantane ously expired.

On the Gth i►tst. the Star coach, when on the other side of Huntley, on its way to Aberdeen, was thrown over a small precipice at the side of the road, and though overturned twice in the course of its descent, the whole of the passengers, fourteen in number, escaped with their lives, and most of them without being seriously injured. One woman has had her thigh broke,.and must, it is said, have been killed on the spot, as the coach fell upon her, had it not been, as it providentially was, sandy ground.

HAYMARKET THEATRE. This Theatre closed a very prosperous season last night with the following Address : " LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,_ As the performances of this evening are the last for the season, lam deputed by the Proprietors of this establishment, to return you their respectful acknowledgements for the patronage you have bestowed upon their efforts fur your amusement. Thea trical success is subject to so many fluctuations, and de pends so much upon contingencies, that under the most favourable auspices it cannot always be . commanded. The strenuous endeavour, however, to deserve it, seldom fails in obtaining in part its object. It is, therefore, a source of gratification to the management of this theatre, that not only the novelties submitted to your judgment, but the revivals also, have, without a single exception, been honoured and rewarded with the most sterling and une quivocal marks of our approbation—such powerful stimu lants to continued exertion will not be without effect ; and the Proprietors, on bidding you farewell for the present season, venture to cherish the hope that their efforts for the next will entitle them to the same flattering reward at its close. In behalf of the performers, Ladies and Gen tlemen, I am charged with the strongest expressions of gratitude for the kindness they have received at your hands —it has encouraged the timid, and confirmed the efforts of the more experienced. Their best return fur it will be found in a renewal of their zeal, and the respectful hope, at the next commencement of their duties, of meeting you in perfect health and increasing prosperity."

From the description sent us of them they seem to be chiefly merks, placks, and bodies, of the early JAMES'S, with some larger silver pieces of MARI , and her sou JAMES.— Perik Courier, SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Among many portentous articles of the capi tulation, which transfers Turkey in Europe to the sceptre of the Czar, we yesterday quoted one of a very striking character,—namely, that which provides for the undisturbed continuance of the "administration and order of things, now esta blished under the influence of the Imperial Court of Russia, until the complete evacuation of the territories occupied by the Russran troops." In commenting on this decisive clause, we did not state the effect of it as strongly as its language would seem to justify; for, in truth, it amounts to this—that so long as a Rus sian soldier remains in occupation of any part, however small, of Turkey, the Rus sian civil government shall be maintained in every part of it,—a government, com posed of such Mahometan functionaries as are most disaffected to the state. What the consequence of such a condition must be upon the future relations between the Porte and its professed subjects, requires no deep study to determine ; for it is impossible that, even if the troops of Russia should by some miracle be withdrawn from the Turkish territory, the sway of the Seraglio can ever again be submitted to without civil war in the provinces exposed to such a change ; and what are those provinces but the whole eastern division of Turkey, from the Danube through Shumla to Adrianople ? We have not, then, much overstated the matter in alleging that Turkey, though left a sort of verbal or technical identity, does in fact exist no longer, but as unhappy Poland may be said to exist,—a Russian prisoner, slave, and victim. Look, then, at these two great monarchies,—at their position with regard to Russia, and at her's towards Europe, before the year 1812 and at present. Even Buonaparte had arrayed the east of Europe more sagaciously for the common in terest of Christendom than the changes subse quent to his defeat have rendered it. Russia seized the moment when the offensive force of France was still formidable, and needed but a Muscovite diversion on the Vistula to restore the prospect of something like equality on the Rhine. She grasped, we say, that fatal moment, while the congress of Vienna was measuring off the continent into districts, punishing nations for their sovereigns, and " settling Europe" by lay ing the groundwork of eternal jealousies and vin dictive wars,—that crisis Russia made her own, by wrenching Poland from the hands which held the general stock-purse of " indemnity and se curity," and haughtily declaring that it should be her's for ever. Lord Castlereagh lifted up his voice, indeed, and denounced the ambition of the Court of St. Petersburg!), but Alexander held him in derision. " If," said the Russian Ministers, " you think fit to oppose us here, " you shall fight the remainder of the French contest without the aid of Russia." This, then, was one opportunity of raising an injured people lost to Europe, and dexterously turned to her own account by that power which has lost no opportunity of self aggrandizement. Now Turkey falls !—and falls to Russia. Then were there ever known within so short a period ac quisitions of empire so vast ? There is no par tition of Poland—that event stands out as a crime and shame in history ; but the days of the partition are over—Prussia and Austria have small compensation for what they incurred of the infamy, in what they have retained of the plunder. Dantzic and Thorn in the north, and on the south Galicia, are but offal dropped from the talons of the imperial eagle of St. Petersburgh,—evi dences alike of weakness as of guilt in these accessory and menial culprits. But, again we ask, when, during the last 1,000 years, have such enormous acquisitions been 'made in so brief a period by any European conqueror, as these two of Poland and Turkey by the Czar of Muscovy within the space of 15 years ? When, in a single generation, were such solid masses of dominion superadded to any pre existing empire ? When were the relative po sitions of one power with each and all of the surrounding states, so fearfully changed to their detriment as in this instance? We say nothing of the rapid strides of Russia between the Caspian and the Euxine, and her recent ap propriation of the keys as well of Persia as of Asiatic Turkey :—of Finland, and the lodg ment made by Russia almost within the suburbs of the Swedish capital, we say nothing. But confining ourselves to Poland and to the space bets een the Danube and the Dardanelles, with Greece, including Thessaly for its outwork, may it not be affirmed that twenty years ago the empire of Russia was not half European, and that while we write, Europe is almost half Russian ? Was this event not foreseen by England from the commencement of the present war ? and is it not now deemed by the British Government a cala mity ? We must answer in the affirmative to both questions, because there is no sane mind in Europe that can look with satisfaction at the im mense and rapid overgrowth of Russian power. The Athenian sophists ridiculed Demosthenes for his fears of the Macedonian craft, and cupidity, and aggrandizement. It became a fashion to call things by false but soothing names. Philip was renowned for moderation ! The statesman who saw his projects and de nounced them, was a disturber of the public peace,—a slanderer of friendly princes,—lns sus picions were unjust,—his sagacity on the stretch for unreal dangers,—his views were visionary,— but his counsels, alas ! were but feebly acted , on ; and the ruin came which he had long been re proached, by your sober-minded men, with tur bulence or folly for predicting. But how were these evils, which many foresaw, and to which the King's Ministers did not blind themselves or the country, to be averted ? We had our own wishes on the subject at an early period of the war; and as they stand on record, for us or against us, there is the less reason for avoiding to recur to them. We recalled, in our mind's eye, Lord Chatham to the scene, and with him there came a prompt and peremptory order for a squadron of British men of war, with bombs and fireships, to sail up the Dardanelles, and scour the Euxine. What would have followed from such a demon stration of spirit and power on the part of Eng land, the policy of the Sultan and the force and quality of his troops being the same ? Why, that there could not have existed any shadow pf communication coastwise for the Russian arms, and that the road bv Shumla would have been the only one by which they could have advanced, This, we believe, settles the event of the war. Then a question very fairlyarises upon the justice of such an interference. Self-defence is always a justifiable motive for interposition by force of arms. If Europe were likely to be disturbed and embarrassed by the Russfaiis obtaining,what they have obtained, the military possession of Turkey in Europe, Europ e b a d a rig ht to inter pose,ll or any on e or more great states o f E urope . But Russia h a d we claims which Turkey would n o t grant. Why joined with Russia to enforce such claims, and to secure them for the future ? The rights of commerce are dear to all civilized powers;. there was no ground of principle or (generally speak. ing) of wisdom to prevent England from com bining with Russia to force the free commerce of the Dardanelles, the Bosphorus, and the Euxine. If Russia claimed but these, she ought to have had them ; if more than one was just, site might fairly have been resisted by other Powers besides the Turks, seeing to what pur poses, in relation to Europe generally, the mili tary successes of Russia over the Ottomans might have been turned. But there were other things behind, and neither England nor Europe were filirly dealt by. A large portion o f th e French press, a nd as its exertions proceeded, a great body of the nation under its influence ran wild upon the Turkish question. First, the in dependence of Greece, which was a separate and smaller question, was put forward as that to which alone the minds of Frenchmen ought to be directed. Had a vigorous and long-sighted part been taken by England and France toge ther, it would perhaps have been this :—" We (the Allies) will force Turkey to acquiesce in the independence of Greece; but on the other hand we will compel the Emperor Nicholas to respect the integrity and in dependence of Turkey." This, we say, ought to have been done, if it had been practicable, But was it practicable ? Perhaps not ; perhaps the French press and the French public would not 'support the Government of King Charles, in fulfilling its duty to Europe. Instead of following the direct path of French policy, and taking steps to restrain any dangerous movement by Russia, certain papers—such as the Constitutionnel, and the Journal des Debats —got up again the old Buonapartean hostility to England, and actually turned the popular feel ing of the French upon a false scent, deterring them from all opposition to the views of Russia, because in resisting her they would have to co operate with this country ! This was the ex treme of folly in the public who were duped,— it was the extreme of baseness in the press and its auxiliaries who duped them. And why was this anti-national course adopted by papers which called themselves liberal ? There is a Corsican in Paris, who once received a pension from the British Government, and who, ever since the year 1815, has held the post of Russian Mini ster ,at the French Court. This gentleman is reputed to be the most dexterous intriguer in Europe. The invasion of Spain, in 1822, is said to have been chiefly his work. A large portion of the press of France is his instrument. The Constitutionnel is believed to be under his absolute controul ; and we are sorry to say, that there is nothing in the later history of another popular Journal to repel the imputation of its being secretly influenced by Pozzo. The game, then, of this diplomatist was clear, — viz. to divert from Russia against Great Britain the whole power of that French feeling, which, if' governed by common sense, would have united with the Duke of Wellington for a great European object, and to interpose the phantoms of English maritime ty ranny—the obsolete topics of Buonaparte s tirades against this country—between the gigan tic schemes of Russia and the mystified imagi nation of the French people. This plan was followed up by perpetual attacks upon Prince Polignac and his administration, on the despi cable pretext of his being helped into office by the Duke of Wellington ! but for no real rea son whatever except that the Prince was known by Pozzo di Borgo to see, like most enlightened men, some danger in the Russian policy. Such has been, as is shrewdly hinted, the state of things behind the scenes: the stage-manager of the Parisian drama has been Pozzo,—the briber of the French press has been Pozzo,—the con scious calumniator of England is the same Pozzo, once the pensioner of England. He is, how ever, an efficient servant of his present master. But we repeat most distinctly, that while the French mind was so diseased upon this great question of permanent interest to Europe, no English Minister could have discreetly ven tured to break ground in the East. We have a word or two to add to these general re marks in relation to one point in the treaty, which, though it did not strike us at first sight, appears, on further perusal, to deserve peculiar notice :—ln Article X., the accession of the Porte being assumed to the treaty of the 6th of .July, 1827, concluded in London between Rus sia, France, and Great Britain, it is likewise re quired of her that she adopt the protocol of the 22d of March, 1829, by which the larger boundary is exacted for Greece, the boundary from the Gulf of . Arta to that of Volo. Now, though the protocol does certainly contemplate that line of demarkation, yet first, a protocol is not a definitive treaty; and next, which is of much more importance, if there be one point upon which, above all others, the Allies have insisted most scrupulously, it is that Russia shall not mix up the Greek question with her separate disputes with Turkey ; and yet Russia here takes leave to decide upon the Greek question ! " You shall not only give up the Morea and the Islands, but Phocis, Thebes, Attica"! &c. It is true Russia decides in the sense of the protocol to which France and Eng land were parties, but she decides singly and im periously; and it is not certain, under the cur tailed power of Turkey—under her present in ability to injure Greece—that the Allies might not have been finally disposed to remit F 1 little of the rigid spirit of the protocol; but here they were cut short. What will our Government say to this ? Still there will be a perplexity in mov ing ; for though a slight, or rather an insult, has been offered to the Allies by the article it: ques tion, yet to annul that which has been done at Adrianople by Rus:iia with the stroke of her pen, in order to do the same thing at London by Russia, France, and England, by the ;core dila tory process of conference and discussion, would certainly appear like risking substantial objects for the sake of etiquette. The conkct of Rus sia, however, is clearly offensive, and contrary to her repeated declarations.--Times. Colonel Evans has just published 41‘ octavo volume, "On the Practicability of an Invasion of British India," hy Russia ; and by way of epigraph, gives the *following ominous quota tion ;--." If we possessed ghiva, of which the conquest would not be difficult . _then would an the treasu r e s ol 4sia ich our country, and we should see realized the brilliant project of Peter the Great Masters of Khiva, rnan other Slates would be brought under our dependence. In a wont Khiva is at this mo ment an advance post, which would beeomc the point of reunion for all the commerce of Asia, and would shake to, - Me Centre of _lndia the enormous Commereinl superiority of the Do minators, of the Sea."--Colonel Nlouraviof, Russian Envoy to Khiv4-1826- The route by which the Russians could invade iiindostan is from the Ray of IJalkau, in the Caspian, through the territor / - of the Tudiontaus to :: ~ r. Khiva, thence by the Oxus, tiittl:...l; - \ ctkiltra ind Cabul, to our territories. W I` l e - 7 4 tion of the space from the Caspia rest of the way he commis regions, the population of whi c h ?Do- • resistance to the Russians. " The ags tia'c4ii Ind repassed by Buonaparte during the Syrian •ampaign (Leing seventy-fire leagues across) was about fifty miles broader than the steppe between the Caspian Sea and Khiva. The march of Sir David Baird's army from Cosseir to Cairo passed over a similar tract (totally de =.ert and nearly destitute of water for 140 miles. Only twelve men and fifteen horses died in this Jassage)." Alluding to Buonaparte's project of invasion, Colonel Evans says, " Two great leseits intervened—that near the Euphrates, the other to the Eastward of Persia. The whole listance might have been nearly 3,500 miles ; to have accomplished which in four months would have required about 30 miles a day without in termission—a rate of progress, with all possible lids, and no resistance, out of 'all range of pro bability. " The project of the Russians appears to be quite of a different description :—to move three or four thousand men over,for the most part, a sterile steppe, deficient in water, but of inconsiderable breadth.-- There (at Khiva) to be reinforced by further de tachments, to facilitate the bringing up of which ar rangements could then be easily made, and also to he recruited both at that place and at Bukhara. from the unfortunate Russians and Persians at present held in captivity. It is at Balk that, in fact, a. con siderable train of baggage animals would have to be prepared. (In all these countries we do not read of one strong fortress, nor of anything which would re quire siege artillery.) The distance to Attock is nearly five hundred miles. But excepting the Hindeo Coosh hills, of ten or fifteen days its the passage, it is generally a peopled and well cultivated country. The merchant caravans which constantly cross the Hindoo Coosh, consist chiefly of horses and ponies, being more adopted than the camel for the defile passes. But camels abound on both sides of the mountain." Old Fortescue observed, that wherever any thing was to be had, an Englishman would always help himself to it ; and it may be conceded to Colonel Evans, that the Russians as well as the English would continue to help themselves in plentiful countries. " The means of transport (he observes) are the means of supply ; the dif ficulty is not generally in collecting supplies. A military force, in command of any extent of coun try, can always provision itself even throughout a series of years." Colonel Evans allows two seasons to the undertaking. "M. Fraver," he says, " was informed by several persons, whose reports coincided, and whose statements he con sidered worthy to be received, that the distance from the Bay of Balkan to Khiva is twelve clays' journey for a caravan ; in another place he gives, it at ten days. M. Mouravief states the distance from thence to the neighbourhood of Bokhara, for heavily laden boats, at seven days' voyage.--- From this point to within two days' march of Balk may be another voyage of four or five days. Here, then, are twenty-five, or suppose we admit it to be thirty-five days' journey for merchants, which we will allow a Russian force a whole cam paign to accomplish, in order that there may b' full time for establishing themselves in Khiva, Bokhara, Samarcand, &c. " Let us then suppose, that early in the following year there are ten or fifteen thousand Russians, with twenty or thirty thousand newly-organized troops, assembled between Balk and the ancient Anderab at the foot of the mountains; smaller columns being directed towards the passes leading to Pershawa and Cashmere. " From Anderab, through the defiles of the On doo Coosh to Gaubul is one hundred miles. rrom Caubul to Attock is about two hundred and thirty miles. It is strange if they cannot accomplish this within the second campaign, aided, as there is too much reason to apprehend they may be, by many of the discontented arid unprincipled Afghani' Chief tains, some of whom are even, perhaps, at this vray time, urging their invitations to this invasion. " Some persons suppose that we could I :aing our whole force, of about 200,000 men, to the front line, to meet an invader. This is an error. To be enabled to bring to this extreme frontier line any thing approaching to this number, a vast augmenta tion of our Indian army must previously take place. We should have to provide for the controul of a territory of from fifteen hundred to two thousand miles to the rear, containin g a conquered, and, there fore, it may be conjectu red, not over loyal population." But Colonel Evans admits that the Russians, even if they were to enter on this crusade, would be two years about it. Now surely the English, with a country of such immense resources as. India, and with as long a warning for prepara tion, would be able to oppose to the Russians a much larger force than they could convey so great a distance from their home, Whatever Stake they chose to hazard, the English could always double it. After the Russians have crossed the Steppe to K. : hiva, and secured di e m. selves in Bokhara, $ 4 , c., they still have tc., make their way through strong countries, which the English, of course, would pre-oco - upy, and the English are . not Turks. " Is, would evidently be desirable," says Colonel Evans, " that we should hare a complete knowledge of the Hin doo Coosh, and ill the passes through it. As a question would most probably arise as to whether it should not be occupied by a detached corps in support of the native bands, in the event of a Menaced invasiwo, and of the Afghauns, or . chief part of them being in alliance with us. It no douht offers strong positions as, an advanced ;inc, if held by a force which knew how tc.; defend them. There is a river (the Paumeb) which falls into the Caubul river, westward of Peshawer, along while runs for some distance the road to Koanclooz. This would also be occupied." It is but justice to Colonel Evans to admit that he has produced a host of authorities, some of them of high ;. - .liaracter, to spew that our Indian Ern, pies is not vulnerable in the direction ho sUudes to. But taking all the circumstances into con sideration, we do not think thwe is much cause for alarm.

The obvious importance at this moment of' coining to a right understanding as to the finan cial resources of the country, in order to enable us fairly to look our situation in the face, is our motive for directing the attention of our readers to a point which appears to have been hitherto a little unaccountably overlooked. In the quarter terminating on the 10th of October, the de,- ciency, as compared with the corresponding quarter of the former year, was in the Excise. Now, if wo can establish the position that this deficiency was not only unexpected, but actually taken into official calculation as a thing certain to occur, and that from a very natural and by lig means unsatisfactory cause, we shall give the best answer to the desponding inferences that have been a little hastily drawn on this subjects In order to make ourselves intelligible, it will necessary to go back a few ears, tJ advert tt) i i
