THE NEW Tito lo, ATRE AT THE TOP OF GRAY'S INN LANE, TO BE GALLED THE ROYAL PANARAIONION. We were the first to notice this proposed belikiing, which we did in general terms, com pressed in a few words, Our information as re= Bards the size of the theatre (which by the bye is to be very much reduced from the original de sign) was somewhat mieestated ; in no other particular were we a all misinform-A The theatre is now actually in progress, but we repeat on a small scale compared with the first design. It will accommodate from 700 to 1,000 persons, and will he built after the model of the IWe.tre St. Carlos, at Naples, in which " the productions of genius in every department . ronnected with the drama, will b e peiformed," (so says the prospectus.) The whole design is the project of Signor Lanza, the celebrated singing master, and will comprise, besides the theatre alluded to, au academic theatre---a grand panorama —a spacious aid splendidly ornamented garden —a grand eassembly and concert rooine---a spacious exhibition room—and numerous reading rooms and refectories. A dramatic school, already open (a contiguous building having been appro priated for that purpose) where the pupils of Signor Lama are taught singing, elocution, dancing, Sec. forms also a part of the project. The building will front the New-road, and will be bounded on the west by Argyll-street, and on the east by Liverpool-street. The front -view of the institution will present one of the most splendid and classic elevations, comprising the Tescan and Doric orders of architecture, surmounted by a dome and ornamental figures, that the metropolis abounds with. This, too, will be the entrance to the evening subscription theatre, which will be elegantly and tastefully fitted up. There will b e no gallery, nor will money be taken at the doors ; but subscriptions for the private and dress boxes and pit can be entered for the night. In the dress circle a most splendid box will be fitted up for the express re ception of his Majesty (who has graciously con descended to patronise the institution) and the royal family, which will be used on no other oc casion but when honoured with the royal presence. Another box will be fitted up for the Lord Chamberlain and his suite; and a third will be set up for the use of the metropolitan and provincial managers of theatres, who will have free admission upon all occasions to witness the display of that talent which it may be their de sire to obtain. The- entertainments to be repre sented are to comprehend principally operas and grand ballet performances, and the theatre will remain open the whole year. At the rear of the theatre will stand the grand " ornamented garden," of several acres, which will be judici ously planted, and pleasingly interspersed with bridges, fountains, cascades, temples, • pavilions, &c. after the principle of the Tivoli Gardens at Paris. Boxes and covered walks will surround the garden, the entrances to which will be from Argyll-street and Liverpool-street. At the ex tremity of the garden, and opening into a new street, running from Gray's Inn-road into Judd street, Brunswick-square, called "Manchester street, will be erected the grand assembly and concert room. '1 he reading, refreshment, bil liard, and other rooms will be in front of the building, at each side of the Panarmonion theatre. The grand panorama, the gallery of paintings, &c. &c. will be in the garden. The expence of the building, it is estimated, will be about 50,0001., 20,000/. of which are being raised by bonds, 200 of which will be 50/. each, and 400 .25/. each, bearing interest at five per cent., nearly the whole of which are already subscribed for. It is expected the build ings will be completed by the spring, and the gardens all laid out. The wall of enclosure will be finished in the course of a fortnight, by which time the foundations of the principal buildings will be laid in. Upwards of a hundred inch are employed in the various parts of the design. His Majesty, the Duke of St. Albans, the Marquis of Hertford, and several other distin guished individuals have signified their intention of becoming the patrons of this undertaking. [Such is the account transmitted to us by the friend whom we commissioned to make en quiry on the subject, from which it will be seen that the prospectus lately circulated through the papers is in some particulars iacorrect.]— Brighton Gazette. HORSE RACING. The lovers of the turf and admirers of British horse-racing, resident in Manchester and its vicinity, experienced a most excellent treat on Monday last, at the Race-ground, Kersall Moor, in the shape of a well contested horse-race, between Mr. Weatherald's brown gelding Foot. man, and Mr. Jeffries's bay gelding Fox. The match was for 501. a-side, and the celebrated good character of the horses excited a con-. siderable degree of interest amongst the sport ing circles ; indeed so much so, that not less than 10,000 persons were present. Footman is a fine blood and bone creature, abought eight years old ; he was purchased by the late Mr. Cookson, the coach proprietor, for a compara- tively trifling sum—he ran a length of time in the London Mail, when by accident it was dis covered that Footman was a nobler animal, and inherited more virtues than it was suspected. He was accordingly trained for the turf, and being entered in the vicinity of Manchester, he soon displayed talents of no ordinary caste, by winning nearly every thing be ran for. Footman's great success at the minor races, in duced his owner to enter him at. the Manchester Meeting, where he ran, and came in second for the plate. Fox is a fresh Yorkshire gelding, of which but little is known, with the exception of his having run, and wun at Sandbach and several small races. The race was appointed to take place at three o'clock, and long betbre that hour the roads and, lanes leading to the Moor pre sented the usual motley and grotesque appearance —equestrians, pedestrians, vehicles of every de scription, from the out and out tilbury, to the humble donkey cart, were moving to the gay and sportive scene, all seemingly on one scale of equality. The course at three o'clock—the grand and inferior stands were densely crowded, and the day promising auspiciously,. good sport was confidently anticipated. A source of infinite amusement was provided for, the spectctors prior to the race, by .the equestrian feats of divers sporting warehousemen, who, mounted on their knacker-envied tits, seemed disposed to show off their equestrian ;attainments, by makin o , , sundry fruitless attempts t o l eap the i r horses ' bodies over the fencing of the course. One of these Nimrods, in despite of,hipiiiiie's prudent: dig inclination to risk its rider, neck, was determined to perform this exploit ? but in riding to the fenc ing, the horse instinctively made a sudden start, and as if he wished to . see his rider set the having performed atr evolution in the air, alighted on terra firma, a-la posterior, and for tunately got upon his legs again Uninjured, though amidst the shouts of the delighted spectators, and (as we welt to►d) the sly grins of the author of his Mishap, and his brother beasts. Al half-past three the horses started, FooZtnan carrying Bst. Bth., pink and biacic cap, and Fox Bst. 12th., red and b rich cap. Fox, on starting, took the lead, and maintained it the first and second time round the course ; hut, in the third, Footman, who had contrived to get the inside s headed him several yards, and won the heat. In the second heat, first time round, Fox again headed his adver nry ; but it was evident that Footman's rider was reserving his horse's speed to the last time round, which proved to be the fact, as he won easily. A second race took place between Mr. John son's (the owner of Jupiter, beaten by Mr. Houldsworth's Vanish, at the last Manchester meeting) brown horse, Cock Robin, and Mr. Hope's bay mare Bessy, three quarters of a mile, which was won by the latter by a neck. How ever, the losers were of opinion that it was a dead heat, and in consequence of neither judge nor referee having been previously appointed to de cide the race, and neither party being willing to give in, the money on each side was returned. Mr. Hope feeling confident of his horse having won, refused to allow the race to be run again, and most willingly acceded to the proposal of each man drawing his own. Both races were exceedingly spirited, and the spectators left the course much satisfied with the day's sport. Sam Pixton, Dick Davies, and many other of the Manchester pugilists were on the course, who appeared endeavouring to make a match to fight for a purse ; but, however, no fight took place. --•Manchester Advertiser. MELANCHOLY DEATIL—On Friday even iug-, between six and seven o'clock, a young lady, aged 17 years, daughter of Mr. STILEMAN, of King's square, St. Luke's, came to her death in the following manner : While sitting at the parlour window, reading a book, a person unobserved touched her arm suddenly, and caused her to start. The involuntary effort was so great as to cause the bursting of a blood-vLsscl, which before mid night terminated her life. A most unfortunate accident, attended by a fatal consequence, happened on Friday evening to the Grey hound stage-coach, as it was proceeding from Wolver hampton to Birmingham. The coach, which was laden with five outside passengers, the inside being vacant, was travelling at a rate of seven miles an hour, and as it was passing through Mortmere-green, about a mile on the road front Wolvethampton to Bilston, the axletrhe broke, which caused the off fore-wheel to separate from it. The body of the coach consequently gave way, and the horses set off at full gallop. Four of the passengers contrived to get front the top of the coach without any injury of moment, and the fifth, who sat on the roof iu front, endeavoured to do the some, but the attempt, we lament to say, cost hint his life. He jumped down, and, alighting upon his ket, instantly fell with such violence upon his head as to frac ture his skull. T he next morning he expired. On Sunday week a man named TOMSETT, an inhabitant of Wadhurst, left this town with a horse and cart, intending to be absent a day or two. However, nearly a week having elapsed, and his connexions hearing nothing of him, became alarmed for his sarety, and entertained ap prehensions that he had been murdered, as he was known to possess a considerable sum of money about his person.__ Search was made in every directien without success, u n til it was remembered that the river Lea, at Yalding, across which it was probable he would pass, had been very much swollen by the late rains, and that he might perhaps have been carried away and overwhelmed by the current. This, in fact, proved to be the case. His broiler, who lives in Maidstone, and another person went to the spot, and at a short distance below Mr. 111ERcEa's mill, discovered the cars of the horse just above the water. The animal was attached to the cart in an upright position, and the unfor tunate man Witt lying at the bottom of the water. The horse and cart were got out on Sunday 1 ist, and the de ceased's body shortly after. He was alicut 60 years of age. The cart was laden with spirits, as hich it is sup pawed were smuggled, and which the unfer unate man was conveying to London by a circuitous route, in order to avoin detection.—Maidstone Journal. STATE OF THE CROPS.-Reviewing the ap pearances of the Northern crops generally, at the present Juncture, we may, without the fear of contradiction, hazard the following statement :—Wheats have been so much injured by the almost constant rains and northerly winds during the month of August, that they cannot be of good quality or prove productive ; and though many fields artUav coming fast to the sickle, the change in a great proMition of them has been occasioned by a prema ture decay of the stalk, the consequence of which will be coarse and light grain. The other kinds of crops have all suffered in a greater or less degree,—potatoes very consi derably on wet soils, where the growth of the roots has been checked by the superabundance of moisture. The same has been the case with turnips on similar soils, and even on those more properly suited to th, In, they have not made such advance as to promise a full crop. It a favour able change of weather do not take place, the harvest is likely to be very dilatory. In some parts of the higher districts the oats have hardly yet changed colour, and are in great danger of being overtaken by frost. In Sutherland the potatoc stems have been completely blackened already in several places. In Caithness comparatively little in jury has been sustained from the inclemency of the wea ther. Harvest has already commenced on numerous farms. About a fortnight since, several fields on the estate of the Hon. ROBERT Duisrnart. were under sickle, and there is every prospect of a fair harvest, not only in that quarter, but throughout the whole county. The first storm had scarcely any effect in Caithness, and, it is confidently an ticipated, that the results of the recent tempest will be pro f ductive of little if any injury. New meal has been selling in the Caithness markets at 225. per boll. In the county of Sutherland, where the crops are in general thin and light, no apparent damage has been sustained. We have conversed with several gentlemen from that quarter, and it is the unanimous opinion of all, that such severe wea ther was never before seen in autumn with so little da mage. If we pass to the west, we shall find the re sults the same. In Skye and the other islands, there have been heavy mina ; but the vivifying principle being still in the grain it continued to grow and ripen, and now promises an average return.—lnverness Courier. On Monday morning, last week, the fisher men attending the stake nets at the mouth of the Cockle mill Burn, near Kincrag, Scotland, discovered an im mense fish of the whale kind, grounded near the nets.— The animal was alive, and every one hastened to procure the means of securing so valuable a prize. The news, too, spread like wildfire, and they were soon joined by a party, from the neighbouring village of Largo, armed with such instruments as the hurry of the moment allowed them to se'ect—axes, pokers, and potato graips, were pressed into service. The work of death now commenced, and the monster bled from many a deep and dreadful gash, till the sea for a great space around him was lite rally dyed with his blood. As he now exhibited few symptoms of life, they thought little more re mained to be done but to secure him from being carried off by the tide ; for this purpose a rope and anchor were procured, and one of the Hooks of the latter driven to its utmost depth into the animal, and there seemed no risk of allowing him to remain till they found time to strip him ; but we should not be too sure of any thing—this Samson of the waters refused to be bound, and, collecting his re maining strength, he made one mighty exertion, and clear ing every obstacle that stood in his way, disappeared in the depths of his native element, carrying with him the flook of the anchor, which snapped like rotten wood, and several instruments which had been used for destroying him. A boat was next day manned and sent in search of the car case, but returned without success. 'We have heard it re ported since that he was seen by a ship's crew near the May, enjoying the morning air upon the water's surface, and having much the appearance of a vessel under jury masts, the grail) end axe-handles, pokers, &c. which were left stick*, having much the appearance of masts, booms, bowsprit, &c. It was proposed, we understand, to pro cure from a neighbouring farmer the use of a pair of horses to draw the animal up the beach, but he may th an k his stars th a t the experiment was not tried, as, in all pro bability, hi s nags wou ld a t this time have been towing at the monster's tail through the North Sea. It is asserted that this fish was about forty feet long, and remarkably well grown and fat, and from the quantity of blubber supposed to be' on him, might have been worth from 301. INTELLIGENCE. AFFAIRS OF THE EASL (prom the Con'stitutionnel of Satiirdar,) Two main trilths result from the important ques tlon that is discussed in the eastern extremity of Europe. On one side appears the immense supe riority of a Government free from all connexion with foreign alliances, over a coalition of Cabinets which proclaim the same intertionsx thnugh resOLliely goyerned by diffe:%ht interests. On the other sid e , England has evidently lost her influence over Eu rope, or at least Wellington and his weak Ministry have been unable to secure to her that preponder ance which she had preserved for half a century. As soon as hostilities began on the banks of the Danube, the whole of Christendom resounded with cries of alarm. The enslavement of Europe was certain the Bosphorus once conquered, the Rus sian armies - would overrun the continent lihe a fu rious torrent : modern liberty and civilization were to be annihilated for ever. A few days passed in the midst of these terrors. To appease them, the Court of St. Petersburgh merely made declarations of moderation. The exe cution of the treaties was its only desire : at any rate, it never pretended to a❑ extension of territory. This, again, became the signal of a sudden change in the minds of politicians. These declarations were apparently received as am avowal of weakness, and it was universally re: olved to arrest in his career, by energetic measures, the giant whose enormous dimen sions had been exaggerated by the false suppurations of certain authors. The Sultan Mahmoud was then extolled in his turn. Every new and unseasonable reform by which the despot daily undermined the foundations of his power, were presented as so many obstacles against which all the efforts of the Russians were to prove fruitless. A triple alliance was, however, to be formed. France, England, and Austria, were to arm for the preservation and integrity of the Ottoman emp►re. From England especially greater efforts were ex pected. Indeed, what power had more interest to prevent any aggrandizement of the Russians towards the south, and to watch over her own possessions in the East ? But whilst Europe wm content with alternately exhaling its fears and hopes in vain conjectures, Russia was hastening to the execution of her de signs. The first campaign put her in possession of military positions of which the importance was too little felt to weaken self-created and fictitious mo tives of security. The opening of the second campaign became for all a subject of surprise, and men were with diffi culty roused from their apathy by the bulletin of Paravadi, which evinced the absurdity of calcula tions grounded on the so much-talked of regenera tion of the Turkish militias. From that moment the most prodigious and un foreseen success have astounded the different Go vei uments on which Europe relied for the preserva tion of the Turks in this part of the world. No unanimity in their councils or designs ; and no one can even foresee any measure tending to prognosti cate their armed mediation in favour of Mahmoud. If, therefore, England is deficient in the defence of her own interests—if, compromised as she evi dently is by the progress of the Russians, she does not succeed in dragging along with her the combined forces of France and Austria, it must certainly be confessed that she has lost her influence in Europe, and that the cabinet presided by the -Lord Duke has been unable either to re-establish or preserve her ancient preponderancy. Such is one of the two main truths indicated at the head of this article, and one to which it is impossible not to agree. The other is still more glaring. Russia is in debted for her victories to the advantage she reaps from the unity of action, that her rivals have never attained on account of the opposition of their views, interests, and situation. It must also be observed, as one of the most re markable effects of the wisdom of the measures of the Russian Cabinet, that in the midst of its at tempts to attain the possession of those regions ne ces,rary to the completion of its power, it has at the same time devised means of compelling England and Austria to consent sooner or later to the pre servation of its conquests. This fact or intention, whichever it may be called, is apparent by the direc tion given to the military operations. The Russians have attacked the Ottoman empire on three sides; on the right, by Widdin; in the centre, on a perpendicular line to Constantinople ; on the left, beyond the Caucasus, in the eastern domi nions of the Sultan. It would be a great error to suppose that this plan is a mere military combination to weaken the enemy by the division of his forces. Undoubtedly such a design has existed ; but it is proper to investigate the matter more deeply. By marching straight to Constantinople, Russia would have simply consulted her own interest and final object. By keeping on the defensive towards Widdin, she had Austria in view, to whom she may thus offer these provinces entire, as her share in the division of the Sultan's empire. Had Russia pur sued her operations on that side with energy, the in surrection of the Servians and other Christian tribes might have opposedgreat difficulties to the establish ment of Austria's domination when this Power shall accept her part in the spoils of a victory of which she will only have acted the part of a spectator. The conquest of the Oriental provinces, and of the town of Erzeroum, situated near the sources of the Euphrates, will afford a sufficient compensation for England. The Russians will know one day how to extol the voluntary donation of those provinces, in order to obtain fr om t h e C a bi net o f Sr. James's its consent for their settling on the Bosphorus; and every one feels what a subject of constant anxiety it would be for the English to see the Muscovite eagle at liberty to rush on their Indian possessions. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE FROM FRANKFORT, 26TH AUGUST. (From the Constitutionnel.) The Count Guilleminot and Mr. R. Gordon are on the eve of setting off for the head-quarters of General Diebitsch, to negotiate in the name of Sul tan Mahinoud. They will certainly give proof of great abilities if they are able to obtain for the Grand Turk the real authority of Captain of the Port at Constantinople under the pompous title of Emperor. To facilitate the understanding of this proposition, it is necessary to know the new pre tensions of Russia, and with what address she has baffled the machinations of European politicians, without even excepting Metternich, Wellington, and de Polignac, though the latter thinks he did wonders when he signed the protocol at London. It was asserted last year, that the Russians were defeated, and they could never treat on the footing of a vanquished enemy. Now that they arc be tween Adrianople and Constantinople,—now, when they have dispersed all the forces opposed to them, and that the Sultan's pride begins to yield, some pretend they will act with generosity and magnani mity. We shall only consult Nicholas's manifesto, which ought to be considered as the Ultimatum of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, which is not disposed to make concessions. _ _ The Emperor of Russia requires advantages and securities for his commerce, the deli verance o f t h e castles of the Phasis, the entire . cession of A rmen i a to Erzeroum, the port of Trebizond, and the pos session of those of Synope and Samsoun, as secu rities. He demands the surrender of Rudschnek and Shumia. His armies arc to occupy Adrianople, the Castle of Fanakari, at the entrance of the Bos phorus, on the side of the Black Sea: Gallipoli, on the Hellespont; and the Castle of the Dardanelles, in Europe. He requires to be indemnified for the expenses of the war, and the possession of all the southern side of the Balkan, till the acquittal of the contributions imposed on the Turks. In re gard to Greece, he is to ask not only for the enfran chisement of Greece, but even something m ore ., With these stipulations and many others, the Grand Turk's empire will extend on one side to Ponte receive lands and an honourable petiSion, and the right of keeping a mosque near St.. Peteriburgh, like the last Khan of the Crimea: This ent only retarded for four or five years. We- beg of our readers to remember our prognostications in favour of the blindness of my Lord Duke and the I'rincc of Metternich. Now let us represent to ourselves the two Ambas sadors offering such conditions to his Highness.— would wisli to play their part. I±i fatt they have only obtained humiliations from the Divan, and the Russian bayonets, after having torn to pieces the British protocol, will extort a treaty from a Prince limited to a circle like that of Popilius. (From the Journal du Commerce of Saturday. ) PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. VERA CRUZ, JULY 13.—An attack froth the Spanish expedition is expected here, but it is not probable that the landing will be attempted precisely at the fortified part of the coast. The General Santa Anna arrived here yesterday with troops. The chateau of St. Juan de Alloa has a garrison of 600 men; its situation renders it impregnable, were it supplied with provisions, but the supply is only small, and in this country each soldier has with him his wife and children. The troops and the clerks of the Government have not been paid for two months. This circum stance is sufficient to give an idea of the position of the Government. Its financial distress is at its height. The customs received during the last month 417,000 piastres, all in paper, which have only served to pay the money received in Mexico by the Government. This paper is at a discount of forty per cent. The Government of Mexico is distrustful of Santa Anna, and Santa Anna is distrustful of the Government since the appointment of Guerrero to the Presidency. Santa Anna has been appointed Minister of War, but is not gone, and will not go to Mexico, to take possession of his portfolio. It is thought that he intends making the state of Vera Cruz an independe►►t sovereignty. This plan is not badly conceived : he would have thus the key and the treasury of the country, as Vera Cruz is the only part to which strangers come. Santa Anna is a young man, about 30 years of age, enterprising, ambitious, and despotic, under the appearance of affability; it is thought here that he thinks of mak ing himself dictator, and that he is the only man able to hold with a firm hand, the reigns of Government in a country where there exists such a struggle of opinions. Santa Anna intends to require, this very day, from the merchants of Vera Cruz, 3,000 pias tres to pay his troops ; if he does pay, he may rely upon them, whatever he may undertake. He has about 4,000 men under his command. He is called here, and he likes to hear himself styled, the Mexi can Napoleon. The parody which is in preparation would he amusing enough to spectators, were it not for the vomit° negro which reigns with such violence, as to render laughter impossible."

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 9.—According to the latest accounts from Asia, by a Tartar, the Russians were half way between Erzeroum and Trebisond, and had occupied the copper-mines in those parts. Persons acquainted with the country affirm, that the last half of the way presents-more obstacles than the first, on account of the broken nature of the ground, which may afford the Turks many opportunities of making an obstinate resistance. According to the same accounts, Trebisond has been again very hard pressed. A division of the Russian fleet, consisting of 14 sail, came and bombarded the town. It is said that above 12,000 balls were thrown into it, and did great damage; at the same time 1,500 men were landed, but are stated to have been repulsed will' the loss of 500 men, and forced to re-embark ; after which the fleet sailed towards the eastward. The Courrier de bmyrne, which we have received to the 2d of August, has the following article : CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 19.—The following is the speech of the English Ambassador, delivered in the English language upon his first audience of the Sultan : " Most noble and mighty Prince,—Commissioned as I am to transact important affairs at the Sublime Porte, there is none more agreeable to me than that which has to-day summoned me to enjoy the ho nour of your imperial presence. " I hare received express orders from the King, my master, to assure your Sublimity that it is his constant wish to maintain and to extend the friend ship which has subsisted for centuries between the two Crowns. I should be happy if my poor abili ties should be the instruments of confirming the prosperity of the two empires on the basis of inter nal tranquillity and the general peace of Europe. " The difficulties which have been suemounted, and the wise administration, which together so re markably characterize the present period of the reign of your Imperial Majesty, inspire me with confi dence in the attainment of this twofold object. " I am proud of the honour which I at this mo ment enjoy of personally expressing to your Sub limity the cordial wishes which my Sovereign cherishes for the long duration of your health and. prosperity." BERLIN, SEPT. I.—The Grand Duchess Helen, of Russia, and her daughter, the Princess Maria, have left the city.—Prussian Stale Gazette, Sept. 2. ST. PETERSBURGII, AUG. 22.—A very long pro gramme of the ceremonies to be observed at the public audience for the reception of the Persian Prince Chosrew Mirza has just been published. The news from the theatre of war has been already received through the Prussian State Gazelle. Exchange on London, Aug. 21.-10 23-32. BRODY, AuG. 14:—Since the beginning of the campaign there were in the interior of Russia great movements of troops, and even in the last month several corps had orders to approach the seat of war. These movements have now ceased, and counter orders have been issued, from which it is concluded that the troops now in the field are considered suf ficient to prosecute the ‘var, or else that a peace is reckoned upon. They write from the prineipalitieF, that the Porte is disposed to yield ; that beyond al l doubt negotiations for peace will be entered upon and will in all likelihood lead to a good result, inas much as the Russian claims are not extravagant, but such as the Porte, with a good will, may satisfy, without changing in the least thereby their hypo thetical position, or interfering with the existing European balance of power. The claims of Rus sia are announced to be, the securing of her com merce between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, compensation for the expenses of the war, favour able terms for the principalities and the Christian inhabitants of Bulgaria. Russia is aware of the present exhaustion of th e O ttoman treasury, b ut - feels convinced that the great resources which the Turkish empire presents will in a little time supply present deficiencies, and that the Porte will eventually be able to fulfil whatever conditions she ma y be obliged to accept. The terms, therefore, to be stipulated would not at once be required, but taken in dividends or in stalments; but as a guarantee for fulfilment upon the part of the Porte, and to avoid all occasion of future complaints on the side of Russia, the Cabi net of St. Petersburgh seem to have in view the provisional occupation of some strong places, and er ; by and also to ob tain provinces in Asia, r eta i n i ng t h em unt il t h e whole debt beshoounldtile Danube, discharged the advantages granted to her commerce, either b the fort resses on the Black Sea, an d leaving garri sons in several of those pl aces unt il t h e s t a te of t hings become fully consolidat e d. With a ll this the Turkish empire, in the opinion of the best informed, is to remain untouched; its frontiers the same as some ydemolishing of tho se before the war; and it will depend upon the policy payinentihoV Eidclli or how late they inspire Russia with Confidence from that power, which they have every thing to feat; and how soon or hog✓ late they will ptdeitre the eviictuition oifi the provisionally oc cupied places by the fair fiilglthent of the stipula tions of the treaty ; at all events it appear*, that even though the peace should be concluded imme diatel, the Russian troops will pass the winter in Bulgaria, and not retire beyond the Danube until neat sprjpg. 7 -flatte of Augsburg, Sept. 1. CoNs•E'Ar;rtit:ott.±l, July 31, the negociations between the Porte iind the Fnglish Am bassador have assumed a more earnest chara:tet"; and the Porte, at length, after a categorical declara tion by Sir A. Gordon, which he handed in a formal diplomatic note, accepted the Treaty of July 6, 182'x, on the evening of the 7th instant. England has de clared by this note of the Ambassador, according to the general report, that as soon as the Porte would accept the Treaty, the Ottoman empire would be placed under the protection of Great I3ritain, end may reckon upon her aid. 'this, with the energetic representations of General Muffling, was like a thunderbolt to the Divan. All the notifications of the last three weeks of the hopes placed cn Eng land, seem to be borne out, and it is no believed that the Russians will not continue their march--it is reported to-day that an English ship of advice has departed from Burgos.—Nuremberg Correspon dent, Aug. 31. VIENNA, AUG, 31.—The Constantinople post of the 10th is just arrived. It brings the intelligence that the Sultan had raised 40,000 :from the larger mass of the capital, and had sent 10,000 men to Kirk-kilissa to reinforce Abdourahman Pacha. All the accounts given out here these latter days of the further progress of the Russians, of the state of things at Constantinople, and the perilous position of the Sultan, are, according- to the letters by to-day's post, so many fables. On the 22d arrived here, from Prague, the new Commander, Field-Marshal Gin lay, and on the following day the whole garrison passed in review before him.

E - lyr - - X Q. - 4 , 4 ,1 c;.,:,1,411• • LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1829. The Constitutionnel has an elaborate article under the head of " Affairs of the East," the object of which is to give an analysis of the pro ceedings of the Russian Government, as regards its invasion of Turkey, and to reconcile them to the principles of good sense and sagacity. This is no difficult task, and has been ably performed by the Constitutionnel. The same Journal says, The Count GUII,LEMINOT and Mr. R. GORDON are on the eve of setting off for the head-quarters of General DIEBITSCH, to nego ciate in the name of SULTAN MAHMOUD. They will certainly give proof of great abilities if they are able to obtain for the GRAND TURK the real authority of Captain of the Port of Con stantinople, under the pompous title of Emperor. To facilitate the understanding of this proposi tion, it is necessary to know the new pretensions of Russia, and with what address she has baffled the machinations of European politicians, with out even excepting METTERNICH, WELLING TON, and DE POLIGNAC, though the latter thinks he has done wonders when he signed the protocol at London." Extracts from these Papers will be found in another column. By the German Papers, received last night, we glean a variety of reports respecting the poli tical and military proceedings in the East. Some of these are so contradictory, others so impro bable, others so palpably absurd, that we shall prefer waiting the receipt of more authentic intel ligence, merely observing by the way, th at a ll reports, no matter how vague on other points, concur at least in one, namely, the desperate situation of the SULTAN. • Lisbon Papers have been received ; they con tain nothing of importance, with the exception of the following decree, addressed to the army:— LISBON, AUG. 17.

The following decree is announced to the army :—" It being necessary to assemble and or ganize corps of soldiers who remained faithful, and did not follow the party of the rebellion, which be gan in the city of Oporto on the 16th of May last year, and to take other measures for the organiza tion of my army of Portugal, which has been con siderably impaired in consequence of the events which took place in the year 1826, I have thought cavalry, (rid infantry, and battalions of Cacadorest shall be considered as extinct, which took part ir) the rebullion, and also the regiments of cavalry, No. 13, and of infantry, Nos. 25 and 26, which though created by decree of the sth August, 1826, nc•ter formed." This dcetee, containing various regulations,. dated 9th July, 182 g. An American galley, which arrived here on Sti , turday in 14 days, from •the island of St. Michael, brings word, that the expedition was to sail for the island of Terceira on the 26th of last month. AUGUST 19. ,,,,, The Gazette of this date annoußce9 the death of the Princess Dowager of Brazil. Yesterday the Portuguese yacht Inveja arrives here, in nine days, from the island of St.-Michael4 No news from Terceira. Getman Papers, received this morning, stat that affairs are still in a state of uncertainty at- Corstantinople, the whole of whose population , has been called on by a firman to march again* the eiimy, As yet, the proclamation seems ter have produced falls or no effect. The accounts from Adrianople, says a letter dated from -Alto capital, are very unfavourable, am! it is apple' !tended that Shumla will surrender. Jamboli is taken by the Russians, and OsMAN PACHA is now marching with 6,000 men, by the way of Kirk-kilissa, in order to save; that place, if pos sible. Such are a few among the most pro minent of the late rumours from .ite Theatre of War. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. Iff. The Revs Effendi, when he intimated to the English and French Ambassadors that Commis , sioners were to be sent from Shumla to the Russir head-quarters, is said also to have expressed a wish that by Mr. Gordon's intervention an armistice might be concluded; but the Ambassadors dill nat seem authorised to assent to the wishes of the Itei4 Effendi on this point, and requested him to addees l himself to the Prussian General Baron VOW Muffling" who was sent by his Court on an emsanrdittari mission relative to the relations between the-Pate' and Russia. General Muffling is still ill, so:Alit i 5 not known whether the Turkish Minister hag fol.; lowed the advice of Mr. Gordon or not. Meantinot great measures of defence are proclaimed, and a fir man calls on the whole population of the capital to march against the enemy. Hitherto it seems to produce no effect, and the volunteers may be soon counted that repair to RamisTchiflik, where the Sultan now has his head-quarters. The Sultan thought by his appearance in person to incline the minds of the people in his favour; but the manner in which the Sacred Standard has been conveyed from Terapia to Ramis Tchiflik has incensed all the Mussulment• The Sultan rode in a carriage, and had the Standard of the Prophet carried before it. This was an unheard of, and, in the eyes of the faithful, indecorous intro' vation, which at this moment looks like presumption• People in the streets were heard to say, " It would be better he should go on foot to the army than let himself be rocked at his ease there." This is temper of the people cannot be unknown to the Sultan - , and he was very gloomy on the way. The•salutes of the English men-of-war in the bay of Bujukdere, fired i" his honour, seemed to cheer him a little, and be im mediately ordered the Capitan Pacha to go on board the English vessels ar►d thank them for this comply ment. The accounts from the army, o r r ather from Adrianople (for there is no Turkish army a►ny where together) are very unfavourable. It : 5 feared that the Grand Vizier is closely shut up in Shumla, and that that place will surrender. Urgent orders have been sent to Hussein Pacha, at Rtid s : chuck, to relieve the Grand Vizier, at Ehumla, if i t is still time. Jamboli is taken by the Russians, and Osman Pacha is now marching with 6,000 men on the way to Kirk-kilissa, in order to save that place' if possible. Adrianople is defended by Abdourah' man Paella, ar►d some officers are to be sent to him to superintend the works. BUCHAREST, AUG. 16. The Grand Vizier is said to have fallen into die' grace, and to be recalled from the army. This ma" , who executed with the greatest punctuality tl' e order to eminence offensive operations, which 05 given him from Constantinople i n J une , i n sp ite of all his remonstrances, now trembles for his life! It is no wonder if many- of the Paellas and greet men of the Turkish empire wish e d f or a c h ang e d things, in order to be free from such despotism! The general insurrection of the inhabitants o f the Strandia mountains against the Porte, where th e Mahometans and Christians united refuse obedienc e to the Sultan, is said to be directed by an old 0 1 ' herent of the Janissaries, and may have the rne ° dangerous consequences. FRONTIERS OF IVALLACIIIA, AUG. 16. An nccount from Widdin, of the sth inst., 50 6 that before the Pacha of Scutari began hi s opera' tion against Rachova, he received through Genera l Geismar a letter from Count Diebitsch to the effect that negociations for peace were already on Wl' and the Pacha would do well not to commit an y hos' tilities in a country desolated by war and pestilence• The Pacha, considering this letter a ruse de guerrer contented himself with acknowledging the receipt of it, and seemed to pay no farther attention to it. It is not yet kno►vn in what direction he is going, but there is no doubt that he has a great force under his command. JASSY, AUG. 15. The Grand Vizier is said to have made a vigorous sally from Shumla on the 7th inst. We look for the particulars of this affair. BELGRADE, AUG. 18. The report that the Grand Vizier is gone t° Adrianople is not confirmed. The mistake probably arose from the sending of two Paellas from Shumlll, who were afterwards defeated by the Russians nest Aidos. Letters from Toulon announce that rice' Admiral RIGNY was to embark without delay on board the Conquerant, to return to the Levant. By our Quebec advices we learn that J. / 3 ' ROBINSON, Esq., Attorney-General of Upp er Canada, is appointed Chief Justice of that Pr° - vince, in the place of Sir W. CAMPBELL, who retires. Mr. J. MACAULY succeeded Mr . WILLIS On the Bench ; and the Solicitor-Gene ral, Mr. H. J. BOLTON, succeeded to the At torney-Generalship. M. C. _HAGERMAN had been appointed Solicitor-General.
