to march in single files. Then there are torrents and other impediments, and a district like this is, of course, entirely destitute of supplies ; and when it is considered that these formidable passes will be defended by the best riflemen, and the most desperate fighters in Europe, it will be conceded that am) attempt to force the Balkan would be Quixotic in the extreme ; it is therefore most probable that no serious attempt will be made- 1 before Shumla, and that future operations will be confined to skirmishes between the garrison and the army of observation. But the Government has other schemes in view, and I understand that a very considerable naval force is destined to act in conjunction with the army—at all events a large fleet is now fitting out, and will be ready to sail in June. It is rumoured that a junction will be attempted between the Black Sea and Mediterranean fleets, for the purpose of bombarding Constantinople. Now, as a naval man, I may be allowed to give my opinion, and, as far as my judgment ex tends, I should conceive that a more hazardous enterprise could not be undertaken. How is it possible, for instance, that any correspondence could be carried on between the two fleets ? Besides, the wind that would be favourable to one would be against the other. It would be easy enough for the Black Sea fleet to slip through the Bosphorus, and ramble at leisure in the sea of IVlarinora ; but the question is, how the Me diterranean fleet is to pass the Dardanelles against a strong current, and exposed to the fire of batteries infinitely more formidable now than in the days of Admiral Sir J. T. Duckworth. Even if a junction were effected before the Turkish capital, the chances of success would be very equivocal, for there would be still a very formidable fleet to oppose them, besides a tre mendous line of batteries, directed by the united talent of Europe (for in. a crisis of this nature, all Europe would secretly make common cause with the Turks), and, if severely mauled, what would be the consequence ? for retreat is impos- IMPERIAL PARLIAAIENT.

Trust me, the Russians are too wise to risk their navy in an adventure of this description. We now come to Varna. If the accounts I hear from Odessa are correct, the principal oper ations of the Russian army will be confined to the shores of the Black Sea, Varna will then be the principal point d appui, and from this point, it is presumed, that the main army will attempt to penetrate towards the capital. None but those who have been in this part of Turkey can be aware of the difficulties which such an expedi tion will have to encounter. Varna is nearly 300 miles from Constantinople, and the coun try, almost without exception, a continuation of marsh and forest, extending as far as the plains of Southern Romelia. I speak from expe rience, having travelled on one occasion seven hours on horseback, through a forest of oak, without meeting with a single habitation. As the Russians have too good an opinion of Turkish prowess to attempt the siege of Con stantinople with an army comparatively so small as that with which they opened the campaign last year, a force of , a - most imposing descrip tion mist,. of course, bc , einployed ; it then becomes a matter of inquiry how this army is to be landed on the coast. If a spot to the south of Varna be!7.seleeted as a starting point, should tbe-urtny; , advance, every poun of food for man and:'horse must necessarily he sent from Odessa, for no supplies can be pro cured on the road, and a vast chain of detach ments must be kept up, to ensure a safe convoy to the main body. We will, however, suppose that every difficulty is surmounted, and that the army, according to the calculations of the Russian General (to whose publication I have had oc casion to allude), is actually encamped before the capital, after leaving a sufficient force to be siege, or (to use a military term) observe Adria nople. Every one conversant with history well knows that when the Turks besieged Constan tinople, they were in quiet possession not only of Adrianople, and the neighbouring towns, but of the whole country, on both sides the Bos phorus ; that the city contained no more than 100,000 inhabitants, divided into the two con tending factions of Greeks and Genoese. Con sttntinople and the suburbs now contain more than 500,000 Mahometans, literally " Defenders of the Faith." Every preparation has been made, and is making, to sustain a siege ; myriads of Asiatics will be continually pouring in to join the garrison, or rather levee en masse, that will crawl round the standard of the Prophet, and in this state of things, should an investment be attempted, and not succeed, no event in modern warfare (except the retreat of the French from Moscow) has equalled the appalling con sequences that will then arise from such an ad venturous crusade. In short, the success of the approaching campaign is even Mint dubious than that of the last. The invaders will meet with the same obstacles, both natural and arti ficial—the same mountains, the same rivers, the same marshes, the same climate, whilst their ene mies are still the same fearless fanatics as before. Europe is only to hope that some effective me diation may put a stop to these horrors, and that circumstances, though at present unforeseen, may bring about that grand desideratum so pointedly expressed in the words of a well-known civic toast, " a speedy peace and soon." P.S. I have still a few remarks to communi cate, which I shall add by way of postscript to my long and warlike epistle. I have, as yet, said nothing relative to the probable operations of General Paskewitz ; for circumstances have re cently occurred which, in the opinion of some, are lik e ;3 , to limit the exploits of this enterprising commander to a very circumscribed sphere of action. I allucl.e to the melancholy catastrophe at Teheran, which L'i.ae stung Russia to the quick, and roused the feelings 9f the nation from the Caspian to the Polar Sea. No misconduct on the part of the Ambassador , or suite, could have justified such a horrible outrage. Every concession, it is true, has been made by the Per sian Government, whilst the Russian Authori ties have nobly come forward and acknowledged that the sad tragedy originated with themselves ; but blood has been shed, and the dignity of the Emperor insulted, by the murder of his repre sentative. The two countries are now in the situation of two individuals who are mortal enemies, but who, for the present, are obliged to keep up the appearance of friendship. The spark has been kindled, and though the flame may be smothered for the moment, it will one day burst out, and that probably ere long. Our St. Petersburgh politicians pretend to say that the Persians are ashamed of the disgraceful peaez, they have so recently made, and that, fired by the successful resistance the Turks are now opposing to the strides of their gigantic foe, are anxious to renew hostilities, and try their strength once more, in conjunction with their Mahomedan brethren.

Our London correspondent informs us that the British Government has formally declared that it would not suffer the blockade of the Dardanelles to be extended to the coasts in the vicinity of that strait. It is not thought that this determination of the British Government can lessen the good under standing which exists between the Government of his Britannic Majesty and that of his Imperial Ma jesty; for it is asserted that the extension of the blockade of the Dardanelles was not authorized by Russia, and that this act of Admiral Ricord, who has taken upon himself to establish the accessory blockades, is disavowed by his government. The news which we now announce is perfectly consistent with what we published some time ago, founded on letters from S-. Petersburgh. We ought, however, to have observed, that we never stated, as the Eng lish Courier has pretended, that the blockade of the Dardanelles had not been extended to the neigh bouring coasts : we stated, or rather our-correspond ent did, that the Russian Government had no in tention, or no longer had the intention, of establish ing the accessory blockades, which are now, in fact, disavowed. As to the blockade of the Dardanelles, our cor respondent has not stated that it was to be raised, but only that it was imagined that its inutility, and the irritation it produced, might eventually determine the Russian Cabinet to put an end to it. An article in the Times is doubtless in recollection, wherein it was stated that the British Government would never permit the extension of the blockade to take place. Now all the Morning Journals, in translating this article, have omitted the word exten sion, so that their readers must have thought that it was the blockade of the Dardanelles itself which the British Government, through the channel of the Times, 'declared that it would not tolerate. But this blockade has been recognized already by England, and will, doubtless, continue to be respected, though it cannot be disputed that Russia, in establishing it, has contravened, not a convention, it may he granted, but certainly au engagetnent,—a promise which should have had the force of a formal treaty. (From the Messager des Chambres of Sunday.) PARIS, JUNE 13.—Foreign politics have offered but few new facts during the week. Since the so lution of the great Catholic question, the English Parliament seems to repose. No explanation has yet been given on the state of foreign relations, but the articles of the Courier answering to the Times. " that there was no motive to change the situation of the three great Powers, with respect to the treaty of the 6th of July," have made a certain sensation We have no important news from the theatre of . war ; the Sultan has gone to his camp ; the army of the Grand Vizier is concentrating behind..Shutola, while the Russian army is preparing for decisive measures on the left bank of the Danube. Till Si listria has fallen into the hands of the Russians, we must not expect any great military movements. On the whole, foreign politics are stationary. However, we cannot fail soon to receive important news from the East. (From the Journal du Commerce of Sunday.) PARIS, JUNE 13.—The Mercantile Courier of Cadiz publishes an official notice, to warn merchant ships to sail with precaution, because the Moors are fitting our six corsairs at Oran. The Master of the Rolls is about to sit, in the ensuing Term, in the morning at Westminster.-- Morning Paper. A few nights since the house of Mr. ALDER MAN, the Common Councilman of Cripplegate-ward, and jeweller, was broken open by a gang of thieves, who made an attempt to get at his stock of jewellery. The house and shop is considered one of the best guarded in the me tropolis. The thieves failed in their attempts to pick the lock of the front door, and they could not succeed in forcing it. They, however, forced up the iron-grating of the area, and made an opening, by means of which they got into the kitchen, and from thence to the upper part of the house. The internal fastenings of the shop, it ap pears, were too strong to yield to any of the exertions of the thieves with the instruments which they brought with them. Had they got in, their booty would have been the most considerable of any that has been acquired in the city for some time past by the " family men." All they got was 10 silver spoons, and some table-linen of : in considerable value, which was left about in the kitchen. 1 Several houses have been recently robbed in the city by means of the entrance gain ed b y forcin g the g ratin g s of the areas, the lead fastenings of which mostl y yield easily. The lower part of the premises is in general the worst secured, as reliance is placed on the massive strength of the iron bars of the gratings. PRICES Or STOCKS THIS Dank 'itock 3 per Cent.

C . nor DWI* LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1829. The Cambridge Election proceeds just as might be expected. Mr. CAVENDISH is at the head of the poll, and Mr. BANKEs—poor Mr. , BANKES!—Weighed down by the laws of specific gravity, sticks fast at the bottom. All the • rising and vigorous talent of the University is with the one gentleman ; all the decayed, mouldy, and obsolete prejudices with the other. Mean while the latter party are straining every nerve to return their favourite candidate. What they want in ability, they make up in impudence. Squibs are put forth, " for gentle dullness ever loves a joke ;" allusions made to the intellect of the BANKES'S family--just as if it had any in ' tellect to allude to—and the claims of GEORGE himself, (the Georgium Sidus of the High Church Empyreum,) put forth with a pomp of words and obscurity of meaning, worthy of WARREN, Dr. RADA', or ROWLAND'S Macas sar Oil. Passing by the claims of Mr. CAVENDISH— for of what earthly use is it to urge a point on which all the world is agreed ?—we come to the question who and what is Mr. G. BANKES, what has he done for the University, what does he intend to do, what is he ever likely to do ? Literary distinction he has none. Of po litical liberality he has an equal quantity. But his father, it may be said, is the author of that droll production, the Constitutional History of Rome, and genius, like an entailed estate, is here ditary. Granted : we surrender up to Mr. BANKES, junior, the full possesion of this intellectual estate of Mr. BANKES, senior, just premising, by way of set-off to our liberality, that such estate is so mortgaged with absurdities, so clogged with dullness—not with your palpable everyday dull ness, but with that bewildering trash which glimmers with such peculiar effect in the nar cotic and enigmatical columns of the Morning Journal—that it can be of no earthly service to any one. " But," says Mr. BANKES, as a reason, we suppose, for his being elected, " my principles are unchanged." Who ever doubted it ? They cannot possibly change for the worse ; on that point luckily they can never apostatise ; and as for the better, it is quite enough to know that they are, and have been hostile to the Emancipa tion Act, to become at once convinced, that in tellect has had little or nothing to do with their formation. Let Cambridge then—the nurse of science, the mother of generous and manly wisdom—re turn him who has already shed splendor on her a nnals. Let her return him who on the Tripos Paper was first and foremost, instead of him, who duly counting from the bottom, held a nearly similar position. Calcutta Papers to the 14th February have been received at the North and South Ameri can Coffee-house, but they contain no news. The G o vernor-General's health was nearly re established since his return to the Presidency o❑ the 3d of February. T w o mails have arrived from Lisbon—one of the 24th, and the other of the 31st May. The Lisboa Gazettes to that period are, as usual, barren upon domestic events, and political ones they dare not touch. The same unvaried game of cruelty still continues : LISBON, MAY 25.—,0n Saturday, the 123,1 inst., 31 individuaba, and on the fillowing day the remainder, 14 in number, were brought from the prisons of the Li- tnoeiro, to the Tower of St. Julian da Barra, who, vic tims to the spirit of rebellion which animates them, had the audacity to utter seditious expressions, to the general indignation even of the other prisoners, against the legiti mate and paternal Government of these kingdoms. (The Lisbon Gazettes from the 21st to the 30th of May inclusive, contain no domestic news of any interest. The Court went into mourning on the 28th, for two months, for the Queen of Spain.) The German Papers, received this morning, contain some further particulars of the battle be tween the Russians and Turks near Pravadi, in which the Turks now claim the victory. The plague seems to be on the increase both in Wal lachia and Bulgaria. The Turks are said to have been repulsed in a sally from Widdin, after an obstinate engagement : FRONTIERS OE SERVIA, MAY 25.—At Belgrade a bloody battle is spoken of which is said to have taktn place on the 16th or 17th of May, near Pravadi. The Turks claim the victory, but the Grand Vizier, who com manded the corps in person, could not take advantage of it, because he had received news that the Russian main army was on the march against Silistria, upon which, leaving 24,000 cavalry to keep possession of the heights about Pravadi, he retired to Shumla, in order to be near to Silistris, and in the centre of operations. It is said that the Turks are assembling a large force also near Aidos, and to turn their chief attention to Sizeboli. Accounts from the frontiers of Wallachia say, that in consequence of a sally of the Turks from Widdin there had been an obstinate engagement with the Russians, in which the Turks had been indeed repulsed, but the supposed intention of the Russians to cross the river at that point had been for the present prevented. The official accounts of the Russians will enable us to judge of these statements. _ . At Belgrade it was still affirmed that the Sultan would go to the army. TRIESTE, MAY 30.—Commercial letters from Alexan dria affirm that the Pacha of Egypt is embarking troops which it was said were to be landed on the coast of Natolia, near Sm}rna, to be at the dispos.il of the Porte. BUCHAREST, MAY 22.—We know nothing certain of the movements of the army beyond what we have learnt by the Russian official bulletins. The sickness in the hospitals in this city and in the neighbourhood has increased rather than diminished in the course of last week, and in Bulgaria, too, diseases are said to spread more and more. In Little Wallachia, and in the corps under General Geismar, a good state of health prevails. VIENNA, JUNE s.—Metalliques, 9$ 11-16; Bank Shares, 1,1151.

VIENNA, JUNE s.—The Austrian Observer of this date gives an article from Constantinople, of May 25, headed—" Austria, the frontier neighbour of France,"- . which, says the Austrian Observer, " being unworthy of a serious refutation, we insert for the amusement of our readers." Accounts have been received from Buenos Ayres to the 20th March, at which period the civil war continued to rage in the Republic. The communications with the interior provinces were cut off, and the capital naturally felt the consequences. The Provisional Government, however, was making every exertion for ter minating the quarrel as soon as possible. The Exchange on London was 12/d. to 124 d. per dollar ; doubloons 61 to 62 paper dollars. We are delighted to find that the Press ge nerally have taken up the subject of the Hamp stead Heath Inclosure Bill. The thing is so monstrous—so utterly and wantonly repugnant, even to the commonest principles of good taste and feeling, that it cannot—it:must not pass. A Meeting of the Copyholders was held, last night, in the Committee Room of the Hampstead Workhouse to take this subject into considera• tion, when after an animated debate, it was re solved by a majority of- eight against two, that the Bill as it now stands, be opposed. Pray, who are these two? TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. constequenee of a statement in your Paper of the 11th inst., relative to the removal of Eleanor Ma honey, a poor woman living in this parish, lam directed by the Parochial Committeemen of Chelsea, to communi cate to you, that at their meeting held yesterday, at which the Hon. and Reverend Dr. Wellesley presided, they in vestigated the circumstances of the case, and the following facts transpired. Eleanor Mahoney, single woman, stated to the Over seers of Chelsea, on Tuesday last, that she was pregnant, and that she was legally' settled in Marylebone: that she did not know precisely the time of her confinement, but did not expect to be delivered before the expiration of a fortnight at least. The Overseers enquired of the assistant parochial surgeon whether she could he re moved with safety ; and he said that in his opinion her re moval would be attended neither with danger nor incon venience. The legal examination of the pauper was there fore taken, and she was afterwards conveyed in a coach to the Police Office, Queen -square, for the purpose of veri fying her statement on oath. She walked from the coach into the office without needing assistance, but the motion of the carriage bad evidently accelerated the time of her delivery, and symptoms of approaching labour became ap parent. Mr. Gregorie, the only Magistrate on the bench, signed the order of removal; but as the instrument re quired the signature of two Magistrates, she was obliged to wait in the office the arrival of the second Magistrate. As soon as Mr. Gregorie perceived her situation, but before he had ascertained the other circumstances of the case, he severely censured the beadle for bringing her to the office, and desired him to take her away immediately. She was re-conveyed to Chelsea in a coach, accompanied by a medical gentleman, who stated, upon her return to the workhouse, that it was not too late even at that time to take her to Queen-square again, and if two magistrates were present to sign the order immediately, she could be removed without danger to Marylebone. She re mained, however, in Chelsea workhouse, and was safely delivered in the course of the afternoon ; and is, at this present moment, as well as any woman can be after recent confinement. The foregoing facts do most satialactorily exculpate the Parish Officers from the charge of inhumanity, which has been very unjustly charged against them ; for it has been shown that the woman herself was ignorant of the time of her delivery, and that the medical assistant was of opinion that her removal could be effected with safety—an opinion which the event has justified. The imperfect account eiven in your Paper of the above circumstance, is calculated to raise an unfavour able prejudice against the overseers of Chelsea; this feeling so improperly excited ought to be immediately re moved, and it is considered that this end will be most speedily and effectually attained, by inserting a concise and aithful statement of the case in those Journals in which an erroneous report has been published. I am Sir, your most obedient humble servant, Lawrence-street, Chelsea. W. CORNETT, June 16, 1829. Vestry-Clerk. His MAJESTY seems none the worse for the awful and " all -absorbing" questions which have been so thoroughly agitated and discu,sed, and so effectually settled this Session. On the contrary he looks younger than be did five years ago, and apparently better both in health and spirits than he has been for these ten years inst.— Morning Paper.

Consols opened at the same price they left off at yesterday, £4B-if for the Account. " ~• The Vera Cruz Papers of the 9th of April con tain a long speech of the President Guerrero on the opening of the Chamber, which is full of hopes for the future. The Conductor arrived at Vera Crui, from the capital, with 930,000 dollars, in bars - so coin, of which 600,000 were for merchants' count. It appears that all was quiet in Mexico by the last accounts. A private letter, received at • the North an4South American Coffee-honse,from Buenos Ayres, of the 19th March, says that 'the termination of the Civil disturbances seem as far off as vier, but it is very probable that Lavalle and his Military will carry all before them in the provinces, he has tine troops and well officered. The City of Buenos Ayres remains tranquil. The Philadelphia Papers which we have received to the 21st May, state, that the President of the . United States has issued a Proclamation, suspending " j the Acts of Congress, imposing discriminating duties upon Austrian vessels entering the ports of America, in consequence of information received by • the Austrian Minister, that American vessels are admitted to Austrian ports, on paying the same duties imposed upon the commerce of diet country.' In the foreign Market little or nothing doing, • prices are nominal. TWO O'CLOCK. In the Consol Market there is not a feature worth observation at pcesenr, Consols have continued all the morning at 881 for the account. We have received the following communication from Mexico, from one of the first mercantile houses in the City, of the 7th April. • The Skylark packet sailfd for England on the Bth March, with bullion on board to the amount of 250 thousand dollars, shipped at Tampico, and 100,000 at Vera Cruz. Public tranquillity and commercial. property have remained unmolested, and the indem• nification of the late pillage is expected. A Govern- , ment conductor of dollars and bars, valued at nine hundred thousand dollars, left for Vera Cruz on the 123 d March, and about ten days before a private conductor of four hundred thousand dollars, chiefly in bars, proceeded to the same destination. Owing to the proposal made in the Chamber of Deputies, to prohibit the exportation of -bars, the Government are in extreme want of money, but still obtaia loans, partly in money and in local credit notes for Custom-house Debentures. Exchange on London 42 43, for Mining Com' pany's Bills. The Bologna Mining Company con' tinues to produce good weekly profits.

The private accounts from Lisbon say that Don Miguel is pursuing the same course as before , and that a number of executions are expected to - take plaice. The paper has fallen there 24 per cent., owing to the expedition against Terceira. From Rio Janeiro of the 11th April the accountS state, that the Emperor of Brazil is urging ever/ endeavour to do away with the old Bank-notes, io consequence of which the exchange is expected to get up. • In the Foreign Market nothing is doing except in, Brazil Bonds, which have been done at 561.
