The Patriot, Giles, for London, in 100 days from Alexandria, arrived here this morning. - • • MUTINY AND MURDER. (From the Cork Southern Reporter of Thursday.) . - At an advanced hour to-day we were put in pos, session of the foll Owing particulars of a case o mutiny at sea, attended with murder and the 1014 of the - vessel : The Thetis, a fine brig of 2.50 tons, Captain .John Bailie, left the - harbour of Bristol for Sierra Leone, on the 7th of February last, and arrived there on the Bth of April. In consequence of sickness, eight of the crew (which consisted of twelve hands) were left in Africa, and four Portuguese taken on board. On the 2d of June the Thetis sailed thence for Cork, for orders for BriStol, and all wits well, the crew keeping themselves in good order, until the night of the 31st of July, when being then in 34. 20. north lat., 40. 11. west long., the Captain retired to bed P.t ten o'clock, which was his usual custom. At half-past ten he was awoke by three loud knocks on the deck, and having jumped out of bed,- was pro ceeding to go above, when, at the- cabin door, he found one of the Portuguese, named Francis Do mingo, with an axe and a knife in his hands. On Captain Bailie approaching hiM, he made a . blOw of the former instrument at his head, which the Captain avoided by his activity, whereupon the fellow plunged the knife into Captain Bailie's arm. The Captain then rushed at the assassin, and wrested the axe from him, but he retreated quickly. At this moment one of the English part of the crew, named Fiancis Smith, came running down, with his throat fright fully lacerated, and his right shoulder cut dreadfully by a knife. At this'tirite three of the English por tion of the crew were below, the fourth, named Mat thews, not having come to the cabin. The muti neers in a moment fastened the companion down, and thereby prevented those in the cabin from get ting on deck, and they were kept in this state until day-break. In the mean time Captain Bailie wrote a letter, which he. sealed up in a -bottle, and Threw it overboard, through the cabin-window. At three in the morning a light • was struck on deck by the mutineers, the 'rats lowered from the vessel, and every portable article which she contained placed in them. They then set fire to the vessel, and con tinued by her until three o'clock in the afternoon, when Captain Bailie obserVed them to go astern; he and his two comrades succeeded in releasing themselves from their perilous state, and having got on deck, they found the ship in flames from the fore part to the mainmast, and saw a large _quantity of blood, which they concluded was that of Matthews. They made a fruitless effort to extinguish the fire, and having constructed a small raft, lowered upon it, and committed themselves to Providence. In - the mean time the ship, which was laden with timber, exhibited an awful appearance. The sea was almost unruffled by a breeze, and the fire having extended to the entire of the vessel, she soon went down. Capt. Bailie then contrived to steer hislittle craft northwards i hopes.of meet i ng with for three days and nights, in some vessel, and on the fourth day, he and hi s com panions having subsisted upon .51b. of. bread,—they the bri g he was picked up by the no fresh water,— Cognac, of and for Liverpool, from the Brazils, C apt .

SHOCKING ACCIDEN T wITII LOSS OF LIVES. —Abont a quarter past six o'clock, this morning, the in habitants of Charter House-lane, wh ere alarmed I T a ter .ol.i Ode crash, and tot' a moment expected destruction some unknown cause . It was, however, sascertained that it proceeded M o nt the bottom of Frog el ,n a range of old and dilapidated buildings had stood, but which then presented but a heap of rubbish, from one part of which the half buried body of a lemale, named INIORG A N, was immediately drawn out by the persons assembled, who in frantic accents iinplored them to save her four children. Some workmen in the employ of 3lr. 3101tGAN, immediately procured pick-axes and shovels, and in a very short tim e tto two eldest children were dug out, they being f or . tamately but slightly embedded in the rubbish, and their voices being heard while the men were digging. Their preservation was Owing to two brains coming in contact, and forming a support over their heads. The other two, one an infant about six months old and the other about two years, unfortunately perished, - and were taken out dead.

After the departure of his Majesty the Emperor, en the 2d, nothing. bad passed remarkable at • Eiliumfa, with the exception of a cannonading betweeu the tirailleurs of 'our advanced posts and tht• Turkish On the 3...4 Vint. -General Ivanoff, who was with a part of his division at •Tcheflyk, completed the fortifying tf the pnsition. On the sth, the detachments oittler the orders of General Prince Madatoff, made a strong reconnoitring on the ene my's.left flank. ihrit the village of Maim . ), to Booular, by Kedikeei, This detachment did not meet with the Turks anywhere, but they,reconnoitred exactly the situation of the places, and remarked that the enemy had, upon a chain of heights which touches their left flank, vast intrenchtitetitsAanked by bastions._ Ihe Tutltish cavalry has not quitted the fortress. Ac cording to the reports of the Bulgarians,' who have taken refuge with tts, the fiittress is in want of provisions, and especially forage. It results from the same 'reports that the Seraskier, Hussein Pacha, had received front Constan tinople the official advice that they could send him no rein forcements, as all the troops who?..e. presence was not neces sary in the capital were to be sent to the .11Iorea. On the 6th, General Rudigerwas sent with a strong de tachment of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, to reconnoitre the right flank of the enemy, in the direction of Tcheflyk to Kcstees. Before the detachment had quitted the po• sition taken near Tcheflvk by Lient, General IVanoff, our piquets had remarked that a corps of 2,000 Turks, com posed in a great nicastire of cavalry, having quitted the place, and proceeded by Kostees to Eski Stamboul. Lieutenant-General Rudiger marched immediately .on Eski Stamboul, to intercept the enemy, after having, at the same time, ssnt parties to observe hits movements. These parties discovered that the enemy, after having pass ed behind the vill ag e of D r aghikioi, had direct e d his march upon Tcbalykayak. Lieut.-General Rudiger having concluded that this de tachment was destined to escort transports which were intended for Shumla, stopped.at Eski Stamboul, and took up a position which will enable him to cut off the enemy's return. OPERATIONS AGAINST VARNA. 'hitt 80-(Acca Il.•)—From the sth to the 11th we onstructedi at the foot of the heights occupied by our troops, five redoubts, which covered the space between the sea and the plain which lies before the gulf. Besides, we stopped during the night of the same day to construct a sixth redoubt, on the very border of the gulf; which will terminate our line of blockade on the northern side. On the morning of the 7th, the enemy made a vi c oreus sally to drive us from our position ; but after a murderous conflict, which lasted until Bun-set, they were repulsed, and retired into the place, after having suffered a severe loss. On the same day a frigate and bomb-vessel commenced bombarding time fortress . ; they continued this operation with success, notwithstanding a vigorous fire from the place. These vessels will, when necessary, be relieved by others. During the night of the 7th, to the morning of the Sth, Admiral Greig detached some long-boats, under the com mand of Captain of the Second Rank Melikhoff, Chief of his Staff, to seize on the Turkish fleet stationed under the fortress. Favoured by the obscurity of the night, Captain Nelik huff advanced in complete order and perfect silence, keep ing close to the side of Cape Galata. He made the round of the gulf, and having' passed under the sterns of the the enemy's flotilla, he advanced rapidly against it. The enemy did not remark the manoeuvre of our boats until they were within half musket-shot of them. A tremendous fire of artillery and musketry, which the flotilla commenced at once, could net stop our intrepid sailors ; they rushed, with their accustomed bravery, and loud burns, on the Turkish vessels, captured them all without exception, notwithstanding a desperate resistance, and towed them off to the fleet, under a tremendoui fire of grak-shot from the place. • Fourteen vessels, two armed boats, five pieces of cannon, a great quantity of ammunition, and 45 prisoners, amongst whoui is the Commander of the flotilla, are the fruits of this audacious enterprise, which was crowned with the most complete success under the eyes of the Capitan who commands at Varna. We had in this affair, four killed and '27 wounded. Among the latter are three officers and a marine. The loss of the enemy Is much more considerable. Besides those killed during the action, he lost most of the men on board the vessels, for, in endeavouring to escape by swim ming, the greater number were - drowned: On the 9th the enemy made a fresh attempt to dislodge us from our positions ; but, thanks to the able dispositions of the Aide-de-Camp, General Prince Mentschikoff, and the brilliant valour of our troops, he was repulsed and pur sued to the foot of the ramparts. _ _ _ The regular Turkish infantry made four charges on the 14th Regiment of ChasseurE, and the 2d battalion of the 13th., Each time the enemy was received with the bayonet, and !It iven back to the gates of the town, without receiving from us a single shot. This conflict, which lasted the whole day, only occasioned us a trifling less. In these sorties we had no more than 37 wounded, and 25 .killed or missing. Unfortunately, the brave Colonel 1..w -*4ell, commanding the Regiment of Nizuff, lost his left 'arm in this affair. The enemy has been employed two whole days in bury ing his dead, which proves the magnitude of his loss. Aide-de-camp General Prince Mentschikoff has sent to the south side of the fortress of Varna, which is not yet in vested, corps of partisans to destroy the convoys which might try to penetrate into it from beyond the Balkan. OPERATIONS AGAINST SILISTRIA. JULY 15 (27.) —The General of Infantry Roth informs us, that on the 23d, 24. th, and 25th, the enemy had made some sorties, which our troops had repelled with small loss on our part. They had made arid fortified some works on the heights, which touched the left flank of the corps occupied in the blockade. A King's messenger was sent off at a late hour on Saturday night frem the Foreign-office with.despatehes for Lord STUART DE Ilarnsav, our Ambassador at Paris.

FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, Sept. 6.) " CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. I L —We learn that Gen. Paskewitsch is snaking considerable progress in Asia, and that he has e'reh entered into negotiations with the chiefs yf the ci• devant Janissaries. This news was not calculated to improve the spirit of the capital, which was not very favourable before. The Sultan has given orders to the Paellas of Asia to send the whole amount of their con. tingents to Armenia, instead of sending them to Eur o p e , as they were directed by preceding orders. Some Asiatic troops which had already landed in Europe have been re embarked for Asia. " The armaments are continued without ceasing. The Sultan disposes them in such a manner as to keep the capital in check, and to oppose the Ru,sians at the same time. Ile will take a position at Banian Chiftlist, an ad , vaneed post near the capital, which has been fortified with great care,"and will communicate with an intrenched camp, which will contain eltut 15,000 men, the works of which the regular troops in the army are ordered to complete. " The heat is oppressive, and many disorders have ap peared in the army. In consequence of this, all persons coming from the army are to be subjected to quarantine, on the road between Daud-Pacha and Constantinople. This measure will render the communication still more ilifficalt, and deprive es of the little news which we are now able to receive. " On the 9th several R.!,!sian men-of-war were descried from the light-houses of the Bosphorus, which seem only to wait for a favourable wind to enter with the current. The whole Turkish fleet was immediately put in motion. The gunners were commanded to the batteries, and re mained the whole night at their post. The ships have, indeed, gone to a distance, but it seems that they are still to be seen in the open sea. " The Pacha of Btailow has been tried by a commis sion, and though helms been acquitted, he has been banished to Asia."—Augsburgh Gazette. WARSAW, Auo. 25.—The first army, under the com mand of Field-Marshal Count Sacken, has received consi derable reinforcements from the in terior. of Russia, which have been united to the active army. This reserve may be estimated at above 100,000 men. The whole Polish army, of which the Grand Duke Constantine is Corn-. mander-in-Chief, is ready to take the field, and consists of 90,000 men, not including the army of Finland, which amounts to 36,000 or 40,000 men. No corps has yet quitted its garrison. The regiments which are in the camp at Zarekejeselo amount to 24,000 effective MCA. (From the Moniteur of Friday, Sept. 5.) (ritivATE CORRESPONDENCE.) Llsnorr, Auo. 20.—A small Portuguese man-of-war, coming from the island of St. Michael, arrived in our port the dly before yesterday, with despatches from the Go vernor of that island, who has orders to observe what passes in the islands of Madeira and Terceira. He writes that the preparations for defence made by the Constitu tionalists are so important, that it would he impossible for the forces that Don Miguel sends against thoSe two islands to attempt a landing with any hopes of success. This news seems to have revived in sortie measure the spirits of Don Pedro's partisans, who consider those two islands as a point dappui for the efforts which the Emperor may make to recover the crown of Portugal. (From the Constitutionnel.) PARIS, SEPT. s.—The Mediterranean consists of two large lakes, the Black Sea, including the sea of Azoph, and the Mediterranean, properly so called. The latter is freely traversed by all nations; and is the former to be for ever a sort of maritime cut de sac, into which nobody can penetrate without the permission of the Grand Turk? Russia will undoubtedly make herself mistress of both the Asiatic and European shores, and open it to the commerce of all nations. It is so absurd to expect that it should re main a sort of a lake, on which fleets may exercise, with out ever coming out of it, that we cannot be surprised that Russia should continually use her efforts to alter it. The difficulty is, to place Constantinople in the hands of a neutral Power, strong enough to make itself respected, and European enough to offer the guarantee of a free passage to all European nations. The establishment of another Greek Empire seems to me impracticable. In its present state, Greece cannot form a power independent of Russia and Austria, and capable of resisting the Asiatic Moslems. Moreover, the passage of the Dardanelles would no more be free then than at present. Sooner or latter Russia will have Constantinople, and when that is the case, the passage will be guaranteed ; for she has so strong an interest in this, that she will give bounties on foreign trade to attract it to the Black Sea. All nations do what they can to induce a conflux of foreign yes , sets in their own ports. Austria, if she wishes to be po pular in Europe, should take off Turkey all that she can ; should extend her narrow sea board to Albania from the Adriatic, and not trouble herself with Italy. Austria may thus keep Russia in check; she and Germany can raise a million of soldiers. If Europe were threatened, they would be its advanced guard, and if it came to blows, France, with her thirty-two millions of inhabitants, would support them. In the midst of anarchy she conquered the whole of Europe with a Constitutional Government which she begins to comprehend as she enjoys its advantages. Sh e has nothing to fear. Henceforth, playing a noble part, she will one day save that Europe which she formerly de sired to conquer. . (From the Courier Francais.) PARIS, SEPTEMBER 5.—A KING ACCORDING TO `ME PRIESTS.—It seems that Don Miguel has been selected to show the people of Europe the crimes and the yen geances hidden in the hearts of the apostolical party. —He carries into execution, with terrific ingenuity, the bloody theories of that faction. His career, begun with a crime that is held in horror by all civilized people, has justified the promises of such a debut. Four years of hypocrisy, since his attempt at Bemposta, have prepared his present triumphs. Familiar, in the season of generosity and frankness, with the combinations of pro found wickedness—he has laughed at Monarchs—at his brother—at his plighted faith—at his duties—till he could laugh at Heaven itself, by an infamous parody on the Evangelists, which favours a Bishop still more infamous. Having mounted the Throne by crimes, what could be ex peCtod of hirm? Vengeance, executions, extraordinary commissions, and the hangman the only minister of jus tice. He has surpassed all the anticipations of those who thought they knew him well, and who predicted for Por tugal days of blood and terror. The prisons are crowded, the exertions of the executioners are made in the silence of night, and the Tagus carries in its wares the mutilated bodies - of his victims. These vulgar joys of tyranny have not long satisfied him and his mother. By only proceeding against those who opposed his elevation, he acted in too nar row a circle. However skilful, the materials for accusation must soon be exhausted, and the scaffold would want its food. In looking on the past, and prosecuting those wlko remained faithful to their Sovereign four years ago, a large field is opened for immolations. Don Miguel, by this means, secures himself an ample supply of heads to amuse his leisure, and of confiscations to fill his coffers. Such a thought, when ever it occurred to him, must be instantly converted into a decree, -and such a decree has been published. Those who defended John IV. against his unnatural son, who surrounded this Prince when besieged in his Palace at Bemposta by the mutinous troops, echo assisted the diplo matic corps to defend the laws, are to pay with their heads and their fortunes for their honourable devotedness. If M. Hyde di Neuville and the other Ambassadors were now at Lisbon, they would see the brave Portuguese who gathered around them dragged along to execution ; per haps they might themselves net escape death, for to the tiger all prey is alike. How could Don Miguel pardon them for having saved his father from his fury, and pre vented him from committing parricide. " How much vulgar blood must he not shed as a compensation for the loss of the pleasure of shedding the blood of his father ! Governments look coldly on this saturnalia. But Don Miguel is a monster—he observei the practices of the Catholic religion. He revolted against his father, but he submits to 'his confessor. He betrayed his brother, but he has offered silver candlesticks to some Madonna cele brated in Austria. He broke his oath to his subjects, but he was favourable to Bishops. tie swims in blood, but he protects the Monks. Ile slays his subjects to confiscate their property, but he endows monasteries and convents. Hence he is the model King—the elected of the Sacristes —the idol of all hallowed feasts. Te Deum has been chaunted for his accession to the throne ; benedictions have b een b es t owe d on his crimes; and his reign realizes the Utopia of the Priest party.

VIENNA, Auu. 24.—An extraordinary courier from Ria de Janeiro has brought to our beloved Sovereign the news that the Emperor Don Pedro, in consequence of the e vents in Portugal, has resolved, according to an rather plan, immediately to mend the Queen Donna Maria de Gloria to Vienna, to be played under the care and protec tion of her august grandfather. Her Majesty is, at this moment, on the way, and will land at Genoa. It is hoped that this precious pledge is destined to become one day a bond of reconciliation and internal peace to Portugal. According to reports in circulation, the Russian army had lost, during the month of July, a great part of the oxen intended for it ; and also some thousand oxen which perished in consequence of the great heat and want of water. The road from Issaktcha to Bazardjik is said to be covered with dead cattle. SSY, Auo. 17.—An unathenticated report is in cir culation here that Varna has surrendered : we must wait for the confirmation of this news. Since the beginning of this month fresh troops, to the amount of 60,000 men ; have passed through this country on their way to the Rus sian army. General Count Wittgenstein commands the Guards. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 10.—The fanatical enthusiasm eicited in the population of the capital by late events has fortunately not had any bad consequences, and public tran quillity ha not been disturbed ; but the Christians are. not quite easy respecting the future. The preparations we see makinc , are indicatire of great danger, though the accounts published by the Government announce nothing but defeats of the RusSians. On the 9th the Grand Vizier, proceeded with great pomp to Mud Pacha, whence he will shortly go to Adrianople with all the Representatives of the Ministers. Iladi Effendi accompanies him as Reis Effendi, and Kim Bey as Chancellor of the Array; the actual Ministers main with the Sultan. The Sultan himself has lately declared that he will shortly take the field with the Standard of the Prophet, and the whole of the general levy, which is estimated at 300,000 ruen. He will at first fix his camp at Remirch Paths, beyond the suburb of Ejub. Ejub and Daud nicha are already fortifying, under the direction of English engineers, to protect Constantinople on that side. But it is possible that the Sultan, with the new lery, will remain in this camp, since, if he were to go to a distance, it might be dif ficult to preserve the peace of the capital. Should the Russians take Shumla, an obstinate conflict will begin under the walls of Constantinople, which, according to all that has occurred here during the last three weeks, will decide in a terrible manner the fate of the Christians. Every body looks forward with anxiety to the developement of this awful crisis. AUGSISURGH, AUG. 30.—Private letters from Semlin, of 22d Aug ust, say that the news from Constantinople to the 14th ha been received at Belgrade, according to which every body had taken up arms.. Most of the shops were shut, and all business at a stand. The Sultan, it was said, intended to have the standird of the Prophet hoisted on the 20th, and to repair with the new levies to the camp without the city. Coaru, AUG. Paella, who lately received supplies of provisions from Alexandria, and even from Zaute, does not seem to think any more of the promised evacuation of the Morea.

" Luiz de Paula, Secretary of State for Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice, shall see to the execution of this de cree, all ordinances, laws, and customs to the contrary notwithstanding, all of which I have dispensed with for this purpose only.

Same abuses having, in the progress of time, been intro duced into the Atlnainistiation and Receipt of my Royal Treasury, which it is highly proper to avoid, and it being necessary for this purpose to find zealous persons who may assist it by their knowledge in a matter of so great import ance, in which it is my will to provide a remedy : I hereby authorize the Conde da Souza Dom Diogoi, Minister of Finance, and President of the Royal Treasury, that con sulting Antonio Jose Geirao, and Diogo Vieira Toiare Al hcrquerque, Counsellors of the Royal Treasury, and Fran cisco Jose Vieira, Director General of the Custom-house at Lisbon, to propose to me the ameliorations or alterations which it may be necessary to introduce into the adminis tration of every branch of the Royal Treasury.

BECKETT, Esq., of Leeds, was shooting in Springtherpe-field, near Somerby House, the seat of his brother, the night Hen. Sir JOHN BECKETT, Bart., he found an otter very quietly making his way acr oss a flat of potatoes ; he attempted by various manoeuvres to take the animal alive, and at last ran in to hint, when the otter bit hits so severely on the fingers that it is feared he will lose his hand and part of his right arm ; nor could he dis engage himself till his cries brought Mr. W.M. 1411 SIBLI - of Gaineborough, to his aid, who was very tOrtu n ►tely on the estate.—L;neoln Mercury. The last ten or twelve days have been glorious weather for securing the harvest, and in that time much of the damage which had been done to the corn by the previous wet weather will have been repaired, and a large part of the crops secured. There has been no rain since Thursday or Friday week, and the heat was oppressive during the whole of last week. I❑ this county nearly all the corn is cut, a great part of it cleared, and that which stands in sheaf, is ready for being stacked or housed. The crops of oats and beans are excellent,... Glasgow Chronicle. 44. rtit Ull. aizewto.: LONDON. MOND kV EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1828. We have to-day given so many Extracts frOm Foreign and Provincial Papers, that we have not left ourselves room for comment upon several matters deserving attention, but their importance shall not be suffered to pass away unnoticed. At a late hour this afternoon we received the Hamburgh Reporter of Friday last. Accord ing to the Prussian Gazette of the, 4th inst., received in Hamburgh, we are told, by an article dated Odessa, the. 24th of August, that the EMPEROR was still there; and had attended a Te Deum in the cathedral, in presence of the whole Court, in consequence of the recent capture of the fortress of Achal kalaki, near Achalzik, on the frontiers of Georgia. By this it will be seen that his de parture for the army was not so sudden as previous accounts had led na to expect. The news from Constantinople does not come' down to a later period than what we have re ceived by the German and Dutch Papers, ex tracts from which will be found in another column. The price of wbeat'at Hamburgh had declined, or was about to fall:-- BORSEN-HALLN, FOUR O'Ctllet. Wheat has been for some days exceedingly flat, and of the new supply brought into the market, much remains nneold. Advices from England holding out very little hope of a large demand from that quarter, the speculator will pro bably soon be obliged to disgorge at lower prices : the more as as few purcloses are made for home consumption. Rye is also little in demand. Of the new samples many are damp, and therefore likely to go off heavily; good dry samples on the other hand maintain their prices. Of new winter Barley a few small parcels have arrived, whiCh hare found purchasers. Of Oats the supply during the week has been considerably beyond the demand, no pur chasers appearing except for the consumption of the place. The best Rapeseed, of which several parcels arrived, went off well ; damp were heavy and of difficult sale. From the 11th to the 20th August inclusive, 109 car goes of corn passed through the Sound. Of these 26 were Wheat, 35 Rye, 15, Barley, and 2 Oats ; 26 were bound to British, 48 to Dutch, and I to French ports ; 1 was bound to Madeira, and 1 to Bremen. Rixdollars.

The accounts from Constantinople, in the French Papers, only come down to the 11th, whereas the Dutch and Hamburgh Papers bring them to the 14th, inclusive. There is little varia tion in them. The same appearance of preparation still continued to prevail, and the departure of the SULTAN with the Sacred Standard formed the principal topic of conversation. It was said that 300,000 men were to set out with the SULTAN. We cannot believe it. Exaggeration seems to be the order of the day. Lisbon Papers to the 24th ult have been re ceived, but they only present the same unvary ing features of tyranny and misrule. The day of retribution is on the wing. The Prussian State Gazette of the 2d inst. contains an account of the capture of Poti after a siege of six days. We had before heard of the capture, and it now appears that his IMPE RIAL MAJESTY and Consort, with the Grand Duke MICHAEL, Lord HEYTESEUEY, and others, attended the Cathedral at Odessa on the 14th of August, to hear a Te Deem on the occasion. In consequence of the bad weather at Dantzic the price of wheat continued to rise, but when the holders hear that the harvest in England is above an average crop they will draw in their horns : ODr.SSA, AUG. 16. The day before yesterday Te Deum was performed in the Cathedral for the taking the fortress of l'oti. Their Ma jesties, the Grand Duke Michael, Lord Heyteshury, the Danish Ambassador, the Foreign Consuls, &c. were present. The Russian frigate the Standard arrived here yester day morning from Kustendji, among the passengers were Prince Philip of Hesse Homburg, the Doke de Montemarto, Lieutenant-General Von Dornberg, and Count Nostitz. Our Journal gives the particulars'ef the taking of Poti, which was occupied by our troops on the 27th July. By order of General Sipagin, Major-General Hesse invested Poti on the 20th July, with a corps formed of the troops in Mingrelia and Imeretia, and a body of Mingrelian militia, commanded by Prince Dadean in person. A fire was soon opened on the fortress from the batteries, and after six days' cannonade, by which the fortress was much damaged and a considerable breach made, the garrison, composed of the inhabitants of the neighbouring provinces, laid down their arms on condition of being allowed to retire unmolested to their homes; 44 pieces of cannon,l3 standards, and a great quantity of ammunition and provisions fell into our hands, The situation of Poti, which commands the mouth of the Phasis, renders the acquisition of it highly important to Russia. Our whole loss, during the siege, was only 7 killed and 14 wounded, among whom there was not one officer. llamburgh Papers of the 2d inst., received this morning, say that two more Russian ships ?f-the -line are coming from the North Sea— probably destined for the M e diterranean, where the Emperor NICHOLAS so much delights to exercise the Imperial virtue of moderation The St. Petersburgh Journal of the 23d August has been received, but the following the only thing worth quotation : TIFLIS, JULY 27. M. Gribaredoff, Councillor of State, Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary from his Imperial Ma jesty to the Court of Persia, arrived here on the 17th. According to accounts received on the 20th, the prin cipal corps of the army was encamped before Kart. Gen. Paskewitch had formed, on the 10th of July, a temporary regency for the Government of the:Puebalick of Karel head of which is Colonel Prince Bekortch Tebeekassky. ST. TETERSEURGH, AVG. 22. Up to the 2ld, 899 ships had arrived at Cronatadt, an d 709 sailed. Accounts from Kicheneff, of 26th July, describe dread fnl storms which took place in diff eren t parts of Bessarabiai from the 24th to the 27th June. at thai Dutch Papers of the 6th inst. say, that 'Lk PRESIDENT of Greece has dismissed the Legis lative Assembly of his own authority, and defer red the meeting of the National Assembly. Hag this ahy connection with the march of the Russians ? -By the Canzden packet, Captain . TiLLEYri from Jamaica, arrived at Falmouth, letters anti, papers to the 20th July are received. They are more than ordinarily barren of intelligence. The following is the-only extract worth taking : On Monday, the 7th July, about half- past eleven o'clock, a very severe shock of an earthquake was eapeti e need at Kingston, and we hive since learnt th,it it was generally, felt in the neighbourhood. The Emperor of RUSSIA is determined to leave the Ambassadors accredited to his Court at Odessa, as their presence with the Army is only considered in the light of honourable spies• Private letters from Carthago►►a state, tha t SANTANDER had applied for a passport to Eu rope, which was refused.

Resolutions passed a t a meeting of the inhabitants on the 4th, in con." l sequence of the attempt to establish a 161.1 1 t seminary in the Island, Sir JAMES SAumAnEz , Bart. G.C.B. in the Chair. One of the Reso lutions was to appoint a most respectable Com' mittee, to be formed for the purpose of prepar' ing a suitable petition to his MAJESTY, which is to be forwarded to the Right Hon.
