FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. - - (From the Gazette de France, Aug. 23.) TRIESTE, AUG. 4.—Count Capo d'lstria did not intend to go to Corfu, but to confer with Ibrahim Paella at Navarin, with the Admirals of the Allies at Zante, and with General Church at Lesina, from which place he has returned from Piss. It is said that his voyage and his interviews with Ibrahim Pacha had for their object to persuade the Egyptian General to leave the Morea before the departure of the French Expedition, and to get all the fortresses occupied. by the Arabs and Albanians delivered up to the Greeks. It cannot be indifferent to the Go vernment to see the strongest fortrisses in the coun try in the o ccupation of foreign troops, who might, perhaps, give it a very different sort of independence. Admiral Sir Edward Codrington appears-to intend t o go to France immediately on the arrival of his successor. It is said that among the reasons which have induced his reed, is the indifference with which he saw the Gieek prisoners transported to Egypt, whom his Government is now endeavouring to relieve. The conferences at Corfu will begin in the middle of the month ; people are very curious to see whe ther the Porte will send a Plenipotentiary. On the part of Greece a deputation is expected, or the Pre sident himself. The nomination• of a Commission of Government at Poros, consisting of Conduriotti, Saimi, Mauromichali, and the Count Viario Capo d'lstria, to transact business in the absence of the President,irenders thelatter conjecture very probable. According to all that we learn, the Greek finances are daily improving, and a new Government may soon be able to meet its engagements. This would be one of the greatest services that the President could render to his countrymen. Another, equally important, is the introduction of Courts of Justice, and of a code of laws in Greece. A commission, consisting of Lawyers, is said to have been already appointed, to dlaw up the Code. Whatever pro gress the Greeks may make in civil institutions, they seem but little disposed to submit to military or ganization. The troops, as far as military discipline is concerned, are no better than children. Those which are assembled at Eleusis, to the number of '7,000 men, under the command of Ypsilanti, re semble a horde of Nomades, and have received, with General Church, no idea of military discipline. Those which are distributed under the command of Colonel Heidegger, at Corinth, Micene, and Napoli di Romania, are the only ones which have a regular appearance. AUGUST W.—The French and English Admirals had on the 24th July, at Zante, another interview with Count Capo d'lstria, who set out the next day for Poros. The Admirals then sailed for Navarin. PARIS, AUG. 22.--The German Journals give no positive and direct information from the theatre of war. A Nuremberg Gazette says, that the partisans of the Turks at Vienna affirm, not only that Choumla has not been taken , but hat the Grand Duke Michael has been cut off there with his corps of the army. On the other hand, a Berlin Journal affirms that news has been received of the taking of Choumla by the Russians, who are said to have purchased this victory with the loss of a considerable number of men, but that they found there a great quantity of provisions, which proved a very welcome supply to the Russian army, which began to be in want. The second part of this piece of intelligence gives revou to doubt the authenticity of the first, for all the accounts from the Principalities and from Con stantinople, which we have received for the last fortnight, agree in representing the Turkish troops at Choumla as being in great want of provisions. (From dm; Courier Francais.) ENGLAND UNDER MR- CANNING AND UNDER .THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. --- PARIS, AUG. 22.—The species of torpor into which England has fallen—the passive part she is reduced to sustain in the great drama which seems preparing for Europe, deserves the attention of re flecting minds. Great Britain is more interested than any other Power in the events of which the East is the theatre. Her security, and her supre macy in the Levant, depend perhaps upon the war between the Porte and Russia, and she may find reason for alarm if the Eagle of the Czars should replace the Crescent on the dome of St. Sophia. Constantinople, in the hands of the Russians, might become the cradle of a commercial and maritime Power in the Mediterranean, which might rival England. She knows and fears this, and yet she remains at rest, as if completely overcome with torpor. To conceal her feebleness, she even applauded and connected herself with combina tions which excited her displeasure and her alarm ; and she dared not even have an opinion of her own No person is duped by the assent which the Cabinet of St. James's appeared to give to our expedition to the Mores. Formerly it repudiated the victory of Navarin • it stigmatised has untoward, and revenged itself en 'Admiral Codrington for the part he took in it with the British fleet. Now it pretends to rejoice at our crusade to deliver Greece from the last of its executioners, and to lay the first stone of its inde pendence. The retreat of Ibrahim, induced by Eng lish agents, was designed as an argument to persuade France to give up her expedition. France persists in her project, and the English Government does not even think of making use of its argument; it consents to every thing with a good grace, and far from opposing our projects, it is desirous of the honour of being associated with us in our labours. It offers us ships to transport our troops, an escort of honour to our army, and in condescending both to Russia and Don laliguel, in truth it is condescend ing to every one, and is every where a nullity. This is the extraordinary situation of Great Britain under the Ministry of the Duke of Wellington. We should be deceived if we suppose that the financial, amines cial, and religious embarrassmeat s of England were the sole causes of her inaction. Her debt is, no doubt, immense; but it did not spring into existence yester day. Under M r. Canning s Ministry, h er difficul ties were augmented, and a commercial crisis, which threatened the public fortune, and with that all the elements of her power. But the man of talents who then held the helm of State leaned on the people. He was the chief of the aristocracy, itut wh ions with He endeavoured to strengthen the English constitu tion by all the new interests and the legitimate in fluence of the democracy. Strong in the national confidence, he neutralized all interior obstacles. He intrapped Ireland wish the perspective reoforms,,lif an ap proaching emancipation ; a nd by gradual e allayed the danger of civil and religious dissensions. 114 Powerful hand directed the vessel of the State in the midst of shoals and rocks, and he maintained the preponderance of England in the balance of Govern ments and of people. It is not enough for a new Minister to conquer a majority in both Houses—he must also be supported b y it majority of the nation. Mr. Canning had such a inajtasity ; the Duke of Wellington tries to govern without Hence his p er ple x ities, and t h e paralysis which seems to have fallen on the power of Ediglatul. Chief of the sNti l onasy Aristocracy, he carriad into the Cabinet all t.te prejudices and passions of the old Tories. His i.sresence has inspired a sort of pan ic, terror, and pcblic uneasiness. Although England has escaped the crisis - which threatened all private fortunes with ruin, ohe seems to labour under an extraordinary disease. She is occupied with her debt, and speaks of it as if she had now to bear it she assumes for the first time. Ireland sees, in the. triumph of Toryism, the threat o and ong slavery ; her ancient enmities, seems ready to seize, by force and sedition, concessions which she despairs of ,obtaining by constitutional means. Above all, it is Iss the Foreign policy of the British Government that the immense difference is manifested between Mr. Canning and the D uke. The genius ,Canning had not only called a new world into existence, and had made it a vast market for English commodities, but lie had created for England new elements of power and of continental as- Pendency He bad saved Portugal from the ignomini ous scourge a a cruel and stupid despotism; he had planted there the standard of civil, commercial, and religions freedom, around which he had in tended to rally the nations, making Great Britain the centre of civilization and of constitutional go vernment. He saw first the importance of the affairs in the East; and the Protocol of St. Peters l3 urghs under his auspices, led to the Treaty of London. A grand thought dictated the coalition of the principal Cabinets in _ favour of the Greeks—the thought of preventing, by the interference of the European Powers, the isolated action of Russia, and of prevent ing all pretext for renewing the ambitious projects of Catharine.—During Mr. Canning's life, Russia, would have - deliberated lone before she had distubed Europe by her armies, she would have remembered the threatening words formerly pronounced in the House of Commons by the Minister directing the power of Great Britain. The world have calculated the effects of an appeal made by Great Britain to the diicontent of Europe, caused by the obstinacy of its Governments, a maintaining abuses and re stinctions prescribed by our present civilization. The Duke of Wellington has made the Cabinet of St. James's the laughing-stock of Europe, by expos ing it to the delusions of Don Miguel. He seems only to have protested against the usurpations of the Portuguese despot, to give him the advantage and honour of concessions forced from England. He withdrew his Ambassador from Lisbon, but he acknowledged the blockade of Oporto and Madeira. Great Britain is reduced to lick the dust before Don Miguel. In the East, Great Britain has no other obstacle to oppose to the aggrandisement of Russia than Sir William A'Court's diplomacy, who will probably be present at the Emperor's victories, and will send the bulletins of the grand army to the Ca binet of St. James's. Such politeness demonstrates to what nothingness the most powerful nations fall when their destinies are confided to men whose in terests are different from the public opinion. England will not long consent to the humiliation of such an Administration. The policy of the Duke of Wel lington injures the public interest, and wounds the national dignity ; and against such a Minister oppo sition must arise on every side. A blow has been given him by the resignation of the Duke of Cla rence, and he must fall, when a change in the throne shall bring him in the presence of a Prince who has beforehand condemned his policy.

His Majesty went on the 4th to reside in theßoyal Palace of Neapidades, while some necessary repairs were making in the palace of Ajuda. Yesterday arrived the Princess Reyal frigate, which was sent to convey the Captains-General to the Island of Madeira and the Azores, and from which it has re turned, because the state of Madeira and Terceira did not permit the landing of the two new Captains General till the rebels were punished. (OFFICIAL.) LISBON, AUG. 9.—lt being necessary that the property which has been or may be sequestrated, be longing to persons implicated in the proceedings which I have ordered to be instituted on account of the rebellion which lately took place in the city of Oporto, and other parts of my kingdom, which has been happily quelled, and also to those individuals who have, without my leave, absented themselves from the Portuguese territory, should be preserved, so that they be restored to their owners, if they should be finally acquitted, who ought not to suffer loss or injury to their property, which would be ma nifestly contrary to the strict administration of justice, which I always wish to be observed,—l a m pleased to order (here follow various regulations for attaining the end proposed.) The same Gazette contains an order, addressed to Francisco Antonio Monteiro, Disembargador of the Casa da Supplicacao, commissioning him to go to the Isle of Madeira, to institute proceedings against the persons, military and others, who have dared to rebel against his Majesty's authority, and are thus guilty of high treason, which it is necessary to punish with all the rigour of the laws, and to vin dicate the majority of the inhabitants of that island, who have always been distinguished for their , loyalty to their sovereign. LISBON, AUG. B.—To-day arrived here, amidst an immense concourse of people assembled on the Terreiro de Paco, the most Excellent Marquis de Chaves, with the Marchioness, his consort. Nume= rous sky-rockets were discharged, as a proof of satis faction at his arrival. Thus this Loyal Portuguese is restored to his country, for which he hazarded his life and fortune; and in the kind reception given him by his Sovereign and the respectable Portuguese, he finds part of the return u hich his countrymen owe him. BRUSSELS PAPERS. TRIESTE, AUG. 9.—According to the accounts given by Captains of ships, Ibrahim Pacha has re ceived from his father permission to evacuate the Morea, with notice, that the transports necessary to fetch him and his troops have already sailed from Alexandria. It is therefore believed, that before the French expedition arrive, Ibrahim Pacha will already have left it. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 25.—The accounts from the theatre of war, which the Government has re served to itself the right of publishing, are all very favourable to the cause of the Turks, and inspire the Porte with fresh courage. According to the first Turkish Bulletins, there was an action near Bazadjik, with a division of Russian cavalry, in which the latter had great difficulty in keeping the field. The following bulletins up to 20th July, and which treat of two attempts on the 15th and 20th, against Varna, which is defended by the Captain Pacha, in which the Russians are stated to have been defeated with great loss, and also to have suffered much at Widden, Rudschick, Choumla, and Ghiurgevo, have filled ie people with enthusiasm, and rendered the general levy much more easy. AboVe 60,000 men have already inserted their names in the lists of Cboseres Pacha, and hundreds of artisans daily come to offer their services. The resolution of the Government to expel the Greeks from the capital has not yet been executed, but seems to be deferred, as the Porte looks on the Greeks with distrust, though their Chiefs, and lespe.cially the ratriarch, endeavour to sheer the greatest hdelity, and a prayer is read in all the Greek c h u rches for the happy issue of the war. NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN TURKEY. From the 23d to the 27th of July. BRUSSELS, AUG. 22.—The head-quarters of his Imperial Majesty, and the two corps of the army, were, on the 26th, in the camp near the village of Butaktyk, not far from Choumla. On the same day they were removed to the heights which the advanced posts of the Seventh Corps had occupied in the the battle of the 20th. We were then within cannon-shot of the fortress. The enemy does not make any resistance. Lieutenant Uszakow reports that, on the 20th the Turks at tacked the right wing of the corps besieging Varna, but that they were repulsed with great loss. Admiral Greigh reports, that he has arrived off Mangali with the squadron under his command, hav ing on board the Third Brigade of the Seventh Di vision of Infantry, and that he was proceeding to Varna. General Roth, commanding the 6th corps of In fantry, arrived on the 21st July near Silistria, at the distance of six wersts (four English miles) from the fortress. He fell in with 4,000 horse, who imme diately were attacked, and driven back with the loss of 200 killed and a great number wounded. Our troops invested Si/istria on the 21st. The garrison has been increasedd7to ?2,000, exclusive of the armed inhabitants. Major-Ge,ueral Syrow, commanding the troops of the Don, who was detached on the 25th to Bazhrad, announces tbst he found in the town 150 of the enemy, of whom sixty were killed, and the other were driven out of the place.

We mention this circumstance, though rather late, because we have learned that some pertinaeious in their Anti-national ideas, have tn reported in company, and ao pg fop!ish people, that this was not the reason of those naval civilities. ka i n tes an LISBON, AUG. Majesty, 'who wit}}thg greatest solicitude attends to all the important busi ness el the State, went on the 9th of this month 011 board the ships intended for the expedition for the Nand of Madeira, where he examined every thing LONDON. MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1828. The Aligen:eine Zeitung of the 18th inst. has been received. It contains some news from Constantinople, but it is not entitled to much credit. It is said that the CAPSTAN PACHA having unexpectedly arrived at Varna with consi . siderable reinforcediots, succeeded in defeat ing the Russians, with a loss of 5,000 men, their number amounting in all to 20,000. It was reported at Constantinople that the Russians had succeeded in taking Erzerum, and that the Per sians had declared War against the Russians ; but this latter news was not credited. The attack on Varna was said to have been by a coup de main, supported by four men of war, but which failed after twelve hours' fighting. The practice of cutting off the ears of prisoners is now said to be abolished, probably in deference to some re monstrances of the European Ambassadors. Much fear was, however, entertained, in the midst of all the recent improvements, that the rebellious spirit of the Janissaries would break out ; and it was again reported that such symptoms had manifested themselves in the camp at Schumla, where HUSSEIM PACHA found it difficult to en force obedience. After the skirmishing on the 17th, it is said that the commander of a regiment of cavalry, who had not done his duty, and was threatened by HUSSEIN! PACHA to beware of the consequences of behaving so another time, fired a pistol at the Seraskier, but missed him, on which HUSSEIN! immediately drew his sabre and cut him down. The regiment of cavalry, attempting to revenge the death of its commander, is said to have been cut to pieces, by HUSSEINI's command. Frankfort Papers of the 18th inst. say, that at the Sitting of the Swiss Diet, ou the sth inst., a note was communicated by the Spanish Mini ster, protesting against the recognition of the late Spanish Colonies in South America by the Con federation, and against the nomination of M. LAVATER to the office of Swiss Consul ill Mexico. The answer of the Diet is not given, although M. LAVATER has been formally in stalled in his office in Mexico ; but the applica tion of FERDINAND strongly reminds us of the adage—" he shuts the stable after the horse is sPlen." By recent arrivals from Lisbon we have news to the 10th instant, the character of which is of the same unvarying persecution. CrIAVES bad arrived in Lisbon, and it was said that a misun derstanding had taken place between MIGUEL and his hopeful Mother—in other words, that SIN and DEATH had quarrelled for supremacy. In either ease the People can be no worse, on the principle that when rogues fall out the holiest man is likely to get his own. The French Papers of Friday, and the Gazette de Franck dated Saturday, have been received, ,extracts from which will be found in another column. There is nothing positively new from the seat of war. According to accounts from Paris, the second division of the Expedition sailed from Toulon on the 18th, and the third was to sail on the g p s i even more were to follow, as a new corps .was said to be ordered to reinforce General MAisokr. Tbus it would appear that the French Ministry are playing a ,deep trick—they do not wish to alarm our Ministry by sending the whole at once, but divide thew into sections ? the more easily to lull our credulity asleep. We should not be surprised if the Duke be roused in a fit of terror exclaiming—who would have thought it ?—the rascals have deceived me ! PROCLAMATION OF GENERAL MAISON. Road-Quarters, at Toulon, Aug. 15. In concert with his Allies, your King charges you with a grand and noble mission, and you are called on to put an end to the oppression of a celebrated nation. This enter prise, which will do honour to France, and which every one applauses, opens to you a career of glory, for the first time since the thirteenth century, will appear off the shores of Greece. Soldiers ! the dignity of the Crown and the honour of your country awaits your triumph. (Signed) MAISON. The Journal du Havre says, that a fleet is daily expected from DON PEDRO, in Europe. Letters from Constantinople of the 30th ult. say, that Asiatic troops were continually passing through the capital to Adrianople. In another column we have given the mark of public homage paid to Mr. TENNYSON by the Corporation of the town of Birmingham, for his late endeavours in Parliament upon the noto rious East Retford Question. The Corporation wished to give Mr. TENNYSON a public dinner, which he refused on the very laudable ground that personal views might be said to have actu ated his conduct on that occasion. The lan guage of the patriotic gentleman is at once manly and independent, and reflects additional honour upon his integrity and public spirit. The more we reflect on Mr. DAwsoN's speech at Derry, the more deeply are we im pressed with its importance,—not merely on account of the plain and manly avowal which it contains, but because, considering Mr. DAw soN's situation, it is, we trust, the pledge of reconciliation with the Catholics. We look upon it as the auspicious omen of domestic peace—as the end of that system of misrule by which Ire land has been so long troubled. It is in this view that we consider the present declaration of those sentiments by Mr. DAWSON as of such deep consequence, to the country. It is giving, as it were, the final blow to intolerance. The weakness of the cause is thus marked in the strongest manner by the desertion of its staunchest advocates ; for when we see the dan gerous ground thus gradually abandoned, is not the conclusion irresistible, that it is because it is no longer tenable ? Justice, reason, policy, every thing is on the side of the Catholics ; and what is there on the other side but special plead ing, sophistry, and pretended alarms of incom prehensible dangers ; while the real danger, the immediate, the pressing danger, is kept out of view ? The plain truth is seen at last, and is breaking down all the barriers of official preju dice,—that we cannot govern Ireland by force. Mr. DAWsoN draws a most forcible and just picture of the state of this unhappy country, dis tracted, as it is, by the heart-burnings of hostile factions, and now rapidly approaching to some desperate crisis, in consequence of long-con tinued tyranny and wrong. No one can question the truth of Mr. DAwsoN's de scription. It is glaring and palpable to ob servation. We see that the Catholic Com mittee is gradually encroaching on all the functions of the Government. It is stepping in between the KING and people, control ling the country by its decrees, levying contri butions, and fashioning the whole Catholic com munity into the most devoted instruments of its designs. The supreme authority of the Go vernment is set at nought by this new power. This is a most alarming state of things ; and it is certain that it cannot long continue. We would consider Ireland on the verge of some desperate convulsion, were it not for the tem perate views of Ministers on the one hand, judging of them as we do from Mr. DAWsON ' s speech, and the aversion of the Catholics, on the other, to the use of any other than constitutional means for attaining their objects. We are san guine enough to hope that the good sense and good temper of the two principals in the con troversy will rescue the country from the fury of irreclaimable intolerance. It is clear from the aspect of the meeting addressed by Mr. DAW sON that it would give pleasure to those Orange men to see the Catholics driven into rebellion, that they might be exposed to the destroying sword. They are enraged at being checked in the riot of absolute power—their wish is still to revel id misrule and oppression—to render the Catholics desperate, and either to cut them down in the field, or to hang, draw, and quar ter them as rebels. From such a catastrophe we hope the country will he preserved by the union of all the wise and the good in the cause of order and peace. We observe that Mr. DAWSON has been re proached for yielding to fear, what he has de nied to reason—for cowering before the Catholics and lowering his tone as their's has risen. There is really no meaning in this idle taunt. Any man, no doubt, incurs ridicule, when he shows too great a fear for himself—when he is too sen sitive to personal danger; but fear for others is a laudable and a manly feeling. The present state of Ireland is calculated to fill the mind of an y man who has the faculty of thinking, and who is not blinded by his furious passions, with well grounded alarm. Is it wonder ful that a wise statesman should pause when he sees his country on the brink of a dan gerous quarrel ; that he should hesitate • before he plunges into all the misery and wild confusion of a civil war ; that he should ponder the whole case, and consider whether there is any other pos sible outlet for the country ; and that he should prefer almost any other alternative to so great a calamity ? Those feelings are not only natural, but highly laudable; to such feelings, or such fears, a wise man must be liable, however fearless he may be for himself; and they are far from incompatible with the most perfect courage and the highest wisdom. That recklessness which goes on, fearless of consequences when the hap piness of others is at stake, is the exclusive inhe ritance of weak and blundering minds. We have no doubt if Great Britain were to go to war with the Irish Catholics, her military force would put them down. It is not for fear that we would not succeed in such an enterprise that we object to it ; but we object to drive on an, unjust quarrel to this issue. We do not wish to succeed in oppressing the Irish Catholics ; we do not see what good end it would answer, setting aside its , cruelty and' injustice. We wish to conciliate them, not for fear, but from policy, and from an aversion to scenes of intestine dis cord, which must take place while we refuse to do what is just and equal to so large a portion of our subjects.

In Foreign Securities all quotations are nominal, excepting Brazilian Bonds, which have fallen from 624, the closing price on Saturday, to 61 , upon the arrival of the ship Friends, Jones, at Guernsey ; she left 26th June, at which time the Exchange was 304; but as we have announced the arrival of a ship from Rio of the 28th, with the Exchange at 311, the intelligence by the former vessel cannot be re ceived as fresh information.

The next arrival will be im portant. Letters add, that there were but few drawers, all waiting with a full assurance of having a higher Exchange.

On Saturday night a new Comic Opera, entitled " Not for Me, or the New Apple of Discord," was produced for the first tim e at this theatre. It is an inversion of the old story, the Judgment of Paris ; and turns on the circumstance of an old gentlem an having left his property to which ever of his three nieces should be adjudged the ugliest and silliest, by the first stranger who should enter the v illage where they resided. There is some scope for humour in this slight but amusing idea; unfortunately., articlarly where it u how ever, it is not made the most of; th e p iece, in fact, is rather of a serious cast, (p affects wit) and the interest is not heightened either by the music, the poetry, the acting or the dialogue. From the blame of bad acting, we must, on consi deration, exempt Miss Gowa rd, and Mr. G. Poison; they did their utmost to pl ease, the former especially. to T acrowded The pie cewashoguivsee.n o ut for repetition this evening THE HARVEST. —We are happy to hear, that generally the wheat and barley is not se much injured as was anticipated in this vicinity, though in some situations the crops are certainly damaged from the effects of the con tinued rains.—. Carmarthen Journal. THE MAP. ETS.—( i tinS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE. There was a good supply of nearly all sorts of GO last week, and a large quantity of Flour. The fresh vals of this morning consist chiefly of a fair show of NV' samples, most of them in very bad condition. The ' ther is now very fine, and our millers showed very li disposition to purchase Wheat to-day. Old Wheat maY reported for most parcels Is. to 2s. per quarter lower! last Monday, but Friday's prices are firmly main '. New Wheat is Ss. to 4s. per quarter cheaper, chiefly ow to the badness of the quality. Barley is Is. p e r qu lower than this Jay se'unight. Beans meet a heavy es at little alteration in value. Boiling and Grey Pease each reduced Is. quarter. Oats continue plentiful, ll' sales may be reported at a decline of Is. to 2s. per quo ter from the terms of last Monday. There is much dui ness now in the Flour trade, at no variation in prices. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) 6os. 745.
