t»se, regulates its own - watchmen, and defrays the expence incurred by them by a rate levied on the inhabitants. In some parishes, through the meritorious exer tions of individual residents, the system of watching is well conducted. Due attention is paid to the selection of persons properly qualified in point of age and strength to act as watchmen ; and a proper controul appears to be exercised over the perform ance of their duties. But the system as a whole is defective; and in the opinion of your Committee the time is now come when a determined effort must be made to effect a decisive change in it. Your Committee are well aware that in effecting fth's change there may be serious difficulties to en co inter. The difficulties of changing ancient usages, of simplifying a complicated system, of arranging troublesome details; of transferring to one depart ment a sort of patronage and power, which is now exercised by many. But the difficulties must be encountered if it be intended to institute an efficient system of police for the protection property, and prevention and de tection rif crime. Your Committee earnestly entreat the attention of the House to the argument, to the evidence, and to the authority on which their proposition will be founded. If they can prove to the satisfaction of the House and the country, that the present system is, and msst continue to be, defective; that its con demnation has been the almost uniform result of pre vious inquiries ; awl that abetter system can be adopt ed, probably at aless expenee, w►th no new restra►nt on the liberty of the subject—they will have made a most material advance towards the important object for which they were appointed, although no legis lative measure should be immediately founded on their suggestions. Nothing can mor:, facilitate the ultimate adoption of such a meacdre, and the successful operation of it, after it sh::11 have been adopted, than a general con viction, in its favour, the result of full inquiry and maitire deliberation. In the observations which your Committee are about to offer, they will speak in the first instance of the metropolis, exclusive of that part of it which is within the jurisdiction of the City of London. They must consider it with reference to no defini tive boundary, by which the limits of many cities can be determined, but as an immense aggregate of houses, extending on many sides for several miles in almost a continuous succession, and containing seve ral hundred thousands of inhabitants. The inquiries of the Committee have extended to loamy parishes, which, strictly speaking, are not part of the Metropolis, but still are situated within that district, over which any general system of Police that may be established ought to extend, It could not be effectual unless it included the large villages and towns in the neighbocAood of the Me tropolis, and the intervening space. The observations of your Committee will there fore generally extend to a district, the centre of which is some point in the middle of the metropolis, with a radius of eight or ten miles (excluding for. the present the City of London.) The charge and police of this important and po pulous district, the constant resort of innumerable strangers, of characters totally unknown, of no fixed residence, and in respect to whom no controul can be, or, while they obey the laws, ought to be exer cised, is committed during the night, almost exclu sively either to the parochial authorities, to Com missioners appointed under Local Acts, or to the voluntary exertions of the inhabitants, acting re spectively in their several parishes. The total number of men employed by night as Foot Patrol, under the orders of the now-street Office, does not exceed If each parish had full power, by law, to establish an efficient watch; and if each parish exercised that power with the greatest judgment and discretion, still there would be no unity of system and no se curity for mutual concert and co-operation. But at present, while in some few parishes the watch is well regulated, is others it is very imper fectly constituted ; and in many there appears no regular establishment of watch whatever. The exertions of the parishes which are well re olated, are often defeated, in a material degree, by the indifference and neglect of their neighbours. The regulations, as to the wages of watchmen— as to the hours of their attendance—as to the per sonal qualifications requisite—depend upon no fixed rule, but vary at the discretion of the local autho rities. In some parishes, a preference is given to persons, who, if not employed as watchmen, would be chargeable to the Poor Rates; in many, from considerations of charity, and the natural unwilling ness to dismiss an old servant on account of infir mity, watchmen are continued, who are manifestly disabled by age or infirmity for the proper discharge of their duties. It appears to your Committee, that the presumption is very strong, without any evidence as to particular facts, that the present system of pro viding by night for the Police of a great city and its vicinity, is a defective one. The absence of all union; of all general controul and undivided responsibility; the number of criminal commitments; the frequency of depredation, with out detection of the offenders—would constitute in themselves a strong ground for attempting an im provement in that system. But your Committee deem it of great importance to call the attention of the House first, to the result of the inquiries of former Committees ; and secondly, to the evidence which your Committee has recently received, both tending to confirm those impressions as to the imperfection of the present system which might result from abstract reasoning. First, as to the inquiries of former. Committees : In 1772 a Committee was appointed to inquire into the several burglaries anel robberies committed in London and Westminster. Sir John Fielding was examined before that Committee, and being asked what he thought of the mode of watching the town, replied, that the watch was insufficient—that their duty was too hard, and their pay too small; that the watch of Westminster had every parish under a separate commission; that Commissioners of the respective parishes appoint the beats of the watch without conferring together, which leaves the frontiers of each parish ' in a con fused state ; for that where one side of a street lies in one parish, and the other side in another parish, the watchmen of one side cannot lend any assistance to persons on the other side, other than as a private person, except in cases of felony. Being asked what remedies he could suggest, de livered in a paper, from which the follewmg is an extract : " The Watch of Westminster is extremely defec tive ; the number ought to be increased, their pay -augmented, and the whole direction of them put under one commission; and that commission should be Magistrates of the city and liberty of Westminster." The Committee, after receiving of his evidence, use to several resolutions, of which the. following .1 one :-- " That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the number of watchmen should be increased—' another method adopted for appointing them--their beats should be less extensive—their duty be made general ; and that they should be put under one ge neral direction." I n 1793 a Committee was appointed to- inquire into the state of the Nightly Watch within the city and liberty of Westminster. This Committee resolved— ,, That the present mode of Watching, and pay of the Watchmen, is very irregular a nd various, and ought to be put under proper regulations. That it would teud, to the safety , of the inhabitants o f the cit y and. lih erty of west. minster, if a regular and uniform Watch, with Pa treles, was established under proper regulations," In 1812, the defective state of.the Nightly Watch of Westminster again occupied the attention of the House. Very atrocious murders had very recently been committed; and a general alarm, inducing great temporary exertions and precautions, pervaded the metropolis. The following are. extracts from the Report of this Committee:-- "Your Committee hare not failed to observe,,thtit the city of London, from the nature of its Magis tracy, the description of its various public officers, the gradation and subordination of their various classes, the division and subdivision of its local limits, affords an example of that unity, and o: that dependence of parts on each other, ivithout which no well constructed and efficient system of police' can ever be expected. If such a system could be successfully imitated in Westminster and its liberties, and within the other adjacent parishes which have hitherto formed an unconnected mass of scattered and uncontrolled local authorities, considerable benefit might be expected to ensue; for your Committee are disposed to concur in opinion with several of the witnesses, that a well-arranged system of superin tendence, vigilance, and control, would tend more to the prevention of crimes, by rendering it difficult to commit them, than any degree of lctivity in the pursuit and conviction of criminals after the crime has been committed ; at all events, however, the two systems are not only not incompatible, but would necessarily afford mutual aid and assistance to each other." After observing that the statute of 14th George 3, c. 90, regulates the watch of certain parishes, the Committee proceeds to state, that other parishes or hamlets are governed by particular Acts of Parlia ment, authorizing the raising of rates for watching and lighting, and vesting powers in certain Com missioners or vestries for carrying these purposes into effect ; but in many cases, the execution of the law is extremely defective, and in some cases the power of raising money is inadequate ; in others the full amount is not levied ; the mode of watching ge nerally had, and the men employed, both in number and ability, wholly inefficient for the purpose. In other parishes there is no legislative provision, and upon the whole, no uniform system prevails ; and neither the Magistracy or the Government have at present any connection whatever with the state of the "Watch, and no'control or superintendence over it. It would appear that this statute of the 14th Geo. 3, c. 90, has been very little known, or very loosely examined and considered ; for many of the witnesses whom we have examined, and many of the projects which have been submitted to our consideration, suggest, as valuable improvements, the very princi ples and very details which are enforced, by substan tive enactment, in this very statute. Your Committee feel that much would be done by merely extending the provisions of the 14th Geo. 3, to the adjacent parishes in and near the Metro polis, which should be particularly described, pro vided it were duly executed; but they are convinced that it may receive very beneficial amendments, for the details of which they would refer to the Appen dix, stating here only, that, in many instances, it may be absolutely necessary to give powers for levy ing a higher rate than is now allowed, in order to defray the expence arising from an increase of the numbers or wages of the persons employed in dif ferent capacities in the nightly watch ; your Com mittee being strongly impressed with the opinion of the expediency, if not necessity, of relieving the watch once at least in the night. But the main improvement of this law would con sist in creating a superintending power, to whose discretion should be entrusted the dismissal of the persons appointed by the parochial authorities in cases of misconduct, negligence, or inability, and to whom it should belong to enforce generally, if ne cessary, the due execution of this Act ; for, with all the other proposed amendments, it cannot escape observation that the system would still remain im perfect, and very infrrier in efficacy to that which subsists within the City of London (properly so called); there would still remain. that want of unity, that want of dependence of parts on each other — that want of a general superintendence and control, without which every system of government must be imperfect. ( I'o BE WONTINUF.P.) FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated July 29.) BUCHAREST, JULY 10.—Accounts this moment received inform us that Managlia, an important forti fied place, which defends the road to Varna, has sur rendered to the Russians.—There is now no obstacle to stop the march of the left wing of the Russians towards Varna. _ _ A report is spread that Abduraliman, Paella of Bosnia, was assassinated just at the moment that he was going to join the corps of troops which he had collected conformably to the firman of the Sultan. If this news should be confirmed, it is easy to foresee that troubles in the interior of Bosnia will be the consequence, and that the situation of that province with respect to Servia will be essentially changed. The Servians, however, remain in the same position, and do not appear disposed to commit any acts of hostility against the Porte; or on the other hand, to suffer any armed body of Turks to enter their 'pro vince. The hurricane which ravaged this city on the 23th of June, and which extended to all the country along the Danube, is said to have done much damage to the baggage of the Russian army.

THE SUBLIME PORTE.—Constantinople is styled "The Sublime Porte—the Porte of Justice, Ma jesty, and Felicity." There have been various dis putes about the origin of this appellation. Payne, an eminent geographer of the last century, - ays, that it is derived from the magnificent gate built by Ma homet 11. at the principal entrance of the Seraglio. CONSTANTINOPLE. — It is wonderful how little is generally known with regard to this magnificent city. Its situation is the most delightful in the world.— With a harbour affording room for a thousand ships —with the Euxine on its east, the natural current of the wealth of Asia is through the Bosphorus; and with Marmora on its south and west, the produc tions of Arabia, Egypt, and Europe, are at the com mand of its commerce. In the hands of a com mercial nation it would soon become the centre of the commercial world. It is encompassed by walls, which have 22 gates—six towards the land, six along the Port, and ten on the Marmora ; these have stairs and landing-places. Constantinople, like Rome, is an " urbu septi collis." Its seven hills rise from the shore in the form of all amphitheatre ; gardens, cypress groves, palaces and mosques, rise. one above the other, and present a view - worthy of all admiration. The castle of the Seven Towers is used as an honourable prison. A square tower stands in the sea, memorable as the prison of Belisarius. . Near this are a great •many cannon, level with the water, and guarding the en trance of the Port and the Seragli o . • Sv.-SoPtitA.—The Church of St. Sophi (Divine Wisdom) ww•as built ,by Justinian, iM the 6th century. The dome is 113 feet in diameter, resting on arches; supported by immense marble pillars ; and the stair case and pavement are also marble. Here is the tomb of the Emperor Constantine. The Exchanges are splendid buildings, and the richest and rarest productions of the East are daily sold in them in large qtrintities. Add to these the numerous Mosques, the thirty Churches of the Greeks, and those of the Armenians—the marry private Palaces and public buildings—and you have r some idea of the opulence and splendour of the .ca pital of the great Ottoman Empire. LONDON. THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 31, 181 S. His MAJESTY arrived at his Palace, St. James's, from Windsor, in an open carriage, escorted by a detachment of the 15th Light Dragoons, at five minutes before two this afternoon. Dr. SUMNER, Prebendary of Durham, is ap pointed to the Bishopric of Chester, as successor to Dr. BLOMYIELD. The Duke's brother is waiting till a richer Bishopric falls in. According to French Papers received this morning there was a general talk at Paris of a Congress, which is to be held at Laybach. Its object is said to be the regulation of the existing interests concerned in the Turkish war, as well as the consequences likely to result from the Treaty of the 6th July. It is affirmed that all the Powers will send their Ambassadors. What necessity has Russia to send one ? Is not her army sufficient ? The Nuremburg Corresliondcni of the 22d inst. says it was reported at Vienna that an alli ance had been entered into by England, France, and Austria, to prevent the threatened :aggran dizement of Russia. A German Paper asserts that 100,000 Russians are advancing to force the passage of the Balkari mountains. The Turks, it is said, depend on their lines at Schumla, which are defended by 1,300 Cannon. The Vienna Court Gazette of the 19th inst. contains from the Universal Gazette of Greece, general instructions for the Extraordinary Com missioners of the Government, in six depart ments of the Archipelago. The President com• plains that the prevalency of piracy, or the ten dency of vessels to that disgraceful system, will in the end endanger the safety of the Greek Navy,:— VIENNA, JULY 17. The Universal Gazette of Greece, No. 35, contains general instructions for the Extraordinary Commissioners of the Government, in six departments of the Archipelago. These Commissioners (say the instructions) will find, in the annexed papers, a clear and precise explanation of the object which the Government had in view when it sent its colleagues to the Mores. Having the same objects before its eyes, and eager to fulfil the same duties, it hereby con fides to the patriotism and the ze,ll of the Commissioners sent to the Archipelago the important task of establishing a regular and legal Government ir) every island of their re spective departments. It is by no means the intention of the Government to in troduce reforms, or create new political institutions ; on the contrary, it wishes us much as possible to maintain the ancient ones. But, in order to make them useful, it must place them under the shield of the laws, and preserve them fro:n the abuses which are produced by license, and their consequences. Building on this general basis, and keeping in view the above-mentioned documents (the instructions to the Com missioners of the Government in tke Morea), the extraor dinary Commissioners for the Archipelago will decide when they arc on the spot what order they should observe for the purpose of executing - the measures thus pointed out, and what modifications it may he advisable to adopt in con formity with local circumstances. These instructions have therefore only some additional articles in reference to the particular situation and interests of the islands. The first articles of these instructions relate to the ap pointment of the demogerontes, or elders—the only Go vernment authorities in the islands. The following relate to the regulations for the navigation :—" The Government hopes that it will have no farther occasion to proceed against and to punish robbers, who have disgraced the na tional flag by piracy. It is well aware that in the islands certain foreigners, under the cover of anarchy, seduced some Greek sailors into this road of destruction. The Extraor dinary Commissioners will learn whether any individuals of this description, still remain in the islands, and .if they do► will not suffer them any longer to find an an asylum there. They must have, an eye upon all foreigners whose resi dence is not accounted for by commercial or other public and actual bnsiness ; but in proportion as they are strict towards such adventurers, they will be eager to chew honour and friendship to all respectable travellers, mer chants, and strangers, who are under the protection of the Agents and Consuls whom their respective Governments have in the islands. As no public act has yet regulated the relations between these Agents and the Greek Go vernment, and as no former agreement between the Turks and' the European Powers can now have any validity,' it is for this reason impossible accurately to de termine the relations between these Agents and the Greek Government. Nevertheless the Government is bound by regard fur the European Powers, and by due care for the commercial interests of the 'Allied Sovereigns, practically to respect these Agents, and cause them to be respected, without deciding (theoretically) for or against such right. It is therefore highly necessary to prevent all such disputes in a friendly and confidential manner, and to arrange the difficulties that may arise in commercial, maritime, and other affairs, between the sub jects of foreign states and Greek citizens. The Commis sioners will therefore employ all their attention and care to satisfy the demands of these Agents according to the strictest justice, and thus to prevent their applications to the Ad►nirale, or their complaints to the Government." The same number of the Universal Gazette contains also a Proclamation of the President to the inhabitants of the six departments of the Archipelago, in which he an nounces the sending of the Commissioners, and its object, and observing that the interest of navigation and com merce is the most ironortant concern of the islands, and of the whole state, he notices the instructions given to the Commissioners on the subject, and declares, that if the law is again violated, and the national flag again disgraced by piracy, the Greek nation will inevitably incur the danger of being wholly destitute of a marine. He therefore calls on them to second the exertions of the Commissioners and concludes thus :—" Ybti now begin, in concert with the Government, to work on your own regeneration. Our of-- forts are made under the eyes of the Powers, who are pleased to hare compassion with onr misfortunes, and still farther to encourage us in the hopes which the Treaty of the 6th of July gives us. Our future fate isin their hands. Let us do our duty, and entertain no doubt, either of the ravonr of God, or of the justice of the Allied Powers." (Signed) " J. A. CAPO D'ISTRIA. " S. TRICUPIS, Secretary of State." " Egira, May 26. Mauritius Papers have been received to the 13th of April, but their contents do not present any article of the slightest interest. A vessel, the Alinshet, has arrived at Liver pool from Buenos Ayres, having broke the blockade on . the 16th of May, but she brings no letters, nor any news with which we are as yet acquainted. In consequence of the extraordinary and dextrous rapidity with which the business of Par liament was on Monday last concluded, we are authorised to state that two petitions were pre vented from being laid before the House—the Gne for Reform, by Sir FRANCIS BURDEIr. The Honourable Baronet intended to have begged the attention of the House to the pre sent state of affairs, as connected with the neces sity of Reform, in hope of calling forth the feel ings of the country in public meetings, previously to the re-assembling of Parliament. He would have proceeded to prove that the events of that Session more than ever confirmed his former opi nions that the House of Commons, as at present constituted, was evidently incompetent to ensure the adoption by his MAJESTY'S Government of any line of policy in accordance with the interests of England, or any good measure however recom mended by common sense, right feeling, or public opinion. That the unconstitutional doctrines of late so unblushingly laid down by one of the highest authorities of the present administration—sanc tioning the unprincipled mis-application of Cor porate Funds and Trust Monies to the pur- . poses of returning Members for the House of Commons, would, jf suffered to pass unnoticed, make what was called popular representation even worse than it was already, and render some public protest and demonstration of feeling on the subject immediately and imperatively necessary. That the anomalous and unpromis ing composition of our Government-its abject policy abroad, and suspicious characteristic at home—its profligate expenditure of the money of the people in contempt of the sug gestions of the Finance Committee, and in contradiction of its own pr,ofessions of economy and retrenchment—could only be in any way counteracted by the exertions awd watch- fulness of the country out of doors. That the evasive and undecided language held by the highest functionaries of the realm, on he most vital and important topics of our foreign and domestic affairs, and the apparently unsettled plans as to our Colonial and Commer cial Administration were alarming to every honest ant' plain-dealing politician, and could not be continued if the people possessed any con troul over their Representatives. That the consistency of the IJouse of Commons with regard to its own votes and resolutions, its vain fears of a dissolution, and consequent subserviency to the Mioister of the day, were such, as to render hopeless all chance of wise and liberal measures from it, while the people remained silent and quiescent. That, as it was as impossible, ash would be odious and impolitic, for Government to attempt to silence public feeling both in England and Ireland at the same time, and as the fear of foreign invasion or civil war could not now be made a pretext for the sup pression of meetings for Reform—this was the moment for the friends of the principle to rally and to hold public meetings throughout the country, for the purpose. of discussing the mea sures best calculated to insure its adoption. Mr. OTWAY CAVE was also, as we under- stand, prevented in the same way from present• ing an Irish petition, and making a last appeal to Ministers for a disclosure of their inten tions with regard to Ireland, on the un fortunate state of affairs, and OR the inde cent displa- of militar force at the late election in that country—and if we arc to judge by the sudden movement of troops to that quarter, we must confess that the sinis ter silence of Government, on this most im portant point, throughout the whole of the Session, and the almost unconstitutional avoid ance of it in the King's Speech, are calculated to excite no trivial apprehensions in the mind of every considerate man.

Berlin Papers of the 19th inst. have been re ceived this morning, but they do not contain any news from the theatre of war. The fol lowing article respecting the amelioretion of the Jews is the only thing worth extracting : BERLIN, JULY J. The Government of Mecklenburg seems resolved to make a serious attempt to imprOve the civil and moral con dition of the Jews. The Grand Duke's Commissioners in the Diet have laid before the States the result of preceding deliberations in the outline of an ordinance on the subject, and desired the opinion of the Estates on it. The Sovereigns of both the Grand Duchies wish a law to be enacted, by which their Jewish subjects in both countries may be treated as nearly as possible on the same principles, and by the equitable concessions of civil rights be placed in a con dition more adapted to their own interest and that of the State. The following was this morning pested at the North and South American Coffee-house : " Rio JANEIRO, JUNE 3.—The Kingfisher is arrived from Buenos Ayr&s, and will sail to-morrow.
