THE DESIGNS OF RUSSIA. (From Colonel Evans's interesting publication.) ON FINANCE " Remember the instability of England : (said the l great Eugene) the voice of mercantile politic s i s ever t) heard at the door of her Parliament. The English, just, just the noble, upright, and generous as ind ividuals, are ust the contrary with their country.' Even were the unfa vourable part of this opinion well founded, the following will, it is conceived, sufficiently prove that no financial considerations in reality exist, at the present time, to inter dict any line of policy that the national honour or interests shall point out to be expedient. " India and Ireland are as yet comparatively unexplored mines for the Imperial Exchequer. One of the ablest Governor-Generals of the former pots, as before quoted, the eventual surplus revenue likely to be available from thence to the dominant country, at several millions Ster ling. And it is clear that we have a right to expect that the latter may be at length rendered capable of Yielding a share to the general expenditure of at least ten or a dozen millions" annually, beyond what . she at present contributes : thus freeing this branch of the State (England) from the necessity it has so long laboured under, of almost exclu sively paying for both. " The public revenue in 1728, a period of profounA peace and acknowledged prosperity, was under 7,000,000. The then aggregate value of our exports and imports Was under 14,000,000. It is now considerably above 1 00,000,000. It will • therefore appear that, making the fullest allowance for change in the value of money, the commerce, public revenue, and probable wealth of the tie 'Yon 1 ? axe intermediately been augmented in a far greater " The iliac most' the, consumers. .sgaged were— in which we have been " That ofthe Succession. The seven years' war. " That of the revolted colonies. " Those arising out of the French Revolution. " L—ln the year 1714, being that immediately suc ceeding the first of those periods, our public revenue was about 6,000,000, and the interest or annuity payable out of it 3,350,000. " IL—The year 1763, being the one immediately sub sequent to the seven years' war, the income was 9,000,000, and interest to be deducted from it nearly 5,000,000. " 1784, being that succeeding the recognition of the United States, the revenue was about 13,000,000 ; while the annuity payable out of it was above 9,000,000. " IV.—ln the year after the last great contest, 1816, our revenue may be put at considerably above 60,000,000, and the annuity payable front it at rather more than f10,000,000t. " Thus it will appear that, on the last mentioned of those periods, the receipts bore a much larger proportion to the annuity or interest chargeable on them, than at any of the previous similar epochs. Nay, if we even substitute the revenue of the past year for that of 1816, it will be still timed that a manifest superiority in favour of the present t;file holds good. Now, as it is quite clear that incum srances and income ate purely relative—the one to the ,:then,—so it follows from the above memoranda, that, J:owever severely we may at present be pressed by debt, our ancestors were even yet more so. But as my object is only to dispel the unfounded pre• &aims so often indulged in on this head,—a topic spe cially teievant to the matter in hand,—the following quo tation will probably best accomplish it:— " ' Notwithstanding (says Mr. Ricardo) the immense crpenditure of the ngligh Government, during the last twenty years, there can be little doubt tat that the in greased production on the part of the people has more than eaopensated.lbr it. The national capital has not merely trees unimpaired, it has been greatly increased, and Tue ANNoAL REVENUE OF THE PEOPLE, EVEN AFTER THE PAYMENT OF THEIR TAXES, IS PROBABLY GREATER ATTHE PRESENT TIDE THAN AT ANY FOR3IER PERIOD OF OUR 111 STORY. r " One word more in relation to finance. Different rem .;nunities have acquired, by pursuing different methods, ac cese:ons to their public property. The Carthaginians flou rished by means of commerce and war jointly—a career nut very dissimilar from our own. But they were over thrown by a neighbouring people, who, by the use simply . . . . of the sword, taade the - world, barbarian, civilized, com mercial, or otherwise, pay tribute to them. It was solely i:y help of the same instrument that the followers of Maho :net subsequently possessed themselves of the produce of so many of the exchequers, previously the reward of Roman valour. For (in some degree) a like end, some fifteen hundred years ago, another species of plan was adopted for appropriating, not actually kingdoms, but many rich and fertile domains, and splendid endowinente,. more or less throughout every country ,of Eurcipec This was the de of the Ecclesiastics resident on the Tiber;—and a large part of the acquisitions thus, so ingeniously made, still return a noble revenue to the coffers of these pacific conquerors. All things now lead to the inference that the Chiefs of the numer.n. rp.ple to whase political progress these stieets refer, are about to bend their efforts to a similar goal, though by R different route or process--that of the tayonet. " It were weff, therefore, that the enlightened economists and wen of influence would recollect that even the most ap-- proved pales of science, and thv laws which govern the financial ptvverity of nations, cannot with the least safety . • be abided by, without an accompanying vigilant precau tion against the clashing expedients that may be resorted to by less scrupulous alupetitors. We have to deal ivitli an empire whose only profession of honour is that of arms —led on by wily politicians, such as are usually to be found in the courts of despotic princes, and vgliose ambi tion has but too often no other limit than their abilitiei." * If soil, population, sea-ports, and locality, ba any cr itsrion. -I- Surplus revenue after payment of interest in 1793, under 7,000,000—in 1828, above 22,60 0 ,0 00 . t 1821, cap. 8.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, Sept. 7.) CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 1 I .—The latest accounts florin the theatre of war speak only of partial combats, because the Russians seem to intend to wait for the arrival of their reserve and of the guard, before they undertake a general attack on Shumh. All these unconnected actions are represented in the Turkish reports as having been favourable to the Ottoman arms. Thus the Russians are said to have made, on the Ist of August, an attack on Silistria, in which they are reported to have been repulsed with a con siderable loss in killed and wounded, and of two pieces of cannon. A division of the new cavalry is reported to have particularly distinguished itself on this occasion. An attack made on the outworks of Shumla is stated to have had no better success. A vessel arrived yesterday from Odessa reports that, on the 7th, a heavy cannonade was heard pro ceeding from Varna, whence it is presumed that the Russians had again attacked that place. It has also been reported since yesterday, that the Captain Pacha has been wounded. The bravery of that Officer in the several actions near Varna is highly extolled. The accounts from Asia are less favourable. Kars and .Anapa are certainly taken. Eizerottm is threatened; and, it is feared, the Porte will lose Poli,* the last fortress it possesses on the East coast of the Black Sea. SMYRNA, A uG. 2.—The Marquess de Caraman, a young Staff Officer, arrived here yesterday, on board the Philomet schooner. We have received the ` .-. ...Vtiivg news from Alexandria, dated Bth July : f rom c or f u ltslish brig of war, the Rifleman, arrived which he asks l e t r ahtcin from Ibrahim Pacha, no means of supporti ng hi s army, n a s n e t ?. , i s s, the blockade does not allow him to hope for relief. The Viceroy seemed to be in great perplexity, and to wait for fresh orders from the Porte. It was generally believed that he would never decide against the will of the Sultan. All the vessels that returned from Navarin have been put in a condition to go to sea, and make a very respectable force." (From the Alessaper des Chambres of Saturday, Sept. 6.) PARIS,.SEPT. s.—The Lyons Gazette contains the following article " TOULON, AUG. 30.—The Galathee frigate has just anchored here with Admiral Collet on board, who returns from Algiers in ill health. Capt. de la Bretonnare, who' is to command the blockade in his stead, sailed t NO days ago on board the Faun brig. "Every thing is ready for the second expedition, the last transports hired at Marseilles, sixty in num ber, arrived yesterday. The embarkation of the troops and baggage has already commenced. This division is to sail on the lst of September. " A third, and much more numerous expeditio is talked of, to take place in the course of Septern her. It is affirmed that transports have been hire. in the ports on the ocean, and in those of Italy.' (From the Courier Francais.) THE NATION AND ITS ACCUSERS. PARIS, SEPT. 6.—We see by the last letters from Constantinople, that the Ulemas had displayed a keen spirit of opposition to the measures of the Sultan. This Prince, not content with abolishing the Janissaries, threatens to appropriate theproperty of the Mosques—an inexpiable crime, a horrible sa crilege, in the eyes of all the Ulemas of the world. The Sultan, however, has resolved to respect the pro perty be threatened ; • every thing was immediately arranged, and the massacre of 10,000 Janissaries was only a trifling crime, which the Ulemas readily pardoned. It is said, however, that the danger of the country contributed to make the Ulemas lay aside their resentment, so that the Turkish Clergy by this miraculous denial supply an example to the Clergy of all countries. Here we shall see no simi lar prodigy. To the Clergy the public welfare, the prosperity of the State, are of no consequence; and those whom they select as organs desire power and wealth. To obtain these they revive hatreds, and disturb the nation. Nothing stops them. For several _months they have exhausted themselves, by their exertions to create a fermentation among the mass of the people, and have revenged themselves for the calmness of the nation, by heaping on it outrages and calumny. With what joy did they not remind us of the horrible catastrophe of Sept. 2, to throw the blame of it on the present generation. This ought to be for them a great tri umph ; for this perhaps is, of all the abominations of our history, the only one they did not sanction, because it was not committed for their advantage. From the crusade against tine Albigenses to the Dragoonades,from the massacre of St. Bartholomew to the massacres of Nismes and these of St. Denis, we have always found them ready to applaud cruelty under the name of salutary terror. In default of reason, humanity ought to teach them to disguise sentiments so opposed to Christianity. They ought to feel, that in this age of the world, religion cannot be founded in blood, but reason is impotent, the old spirit--the spirit of Torquemada—still lives in them The Prevotal Courts in 1815, the Commissio n o Ferdinand, the atiarobioal immolations of the Spanish populace, the gibbets of Don Miguel and the nightly labours of his executioners constitute them the beau id e a; of good government, the very model of a go vernment, Whenever a Prince raises a scaffolu near a crucifix, h is pardoned though he be a parri cide. He has a claim op their admiration. Our legislation has been too mild for them—they wanted it polluted with some of the diapositionE of the 12th century. The law of sacrilege placed the dug mos under the safeguard of the executioner. They do not now complain of the laws ' but of those who ad minister them. Theyare men sJae4 with blood, who reproach us with the massacres or September 2. Those who have supported Bessieres, and the Ora. viados; it is Chaves and Don Miguel who accuse us of conspiring against royalty; those who attack it whenever it is opposed to them, and who are en raged at not finding here any thing but a people, the friends of laws, in place of a fanatic mob, ready to assist their exertions. Time, so rich in instruction for all men, has no Influence on them. it has left th2m with all their ferocity, with all their ancient hostility to reason. - Let a learned man make some discovery as to the sett, of our faculties, or the relation of our inclina tions to Dur organs—he is a materialist, a blas phemer, a sconn,clrel, Science is atheism—instruc tion is impious. They are still the same men who imprisoned Galileo, because he discovered the mo tions of the earth—who persecuted Coltunlnis be' cause he conjectured that we had antipodes. The compensations they offer us for that science they proscribe, are orations against the scurf, against madness, and against the tooth-ache ; they represent the end oC the world by petards, they sell holy let ters written tly .fesu 4 Christ ; they talk about the angel Gabriel, and substitutp despicable tricks and s h am a ti l stories for whatever is owe and elevated in Christianity, The lu m i nous cnicifix of Migne has begotten a shining victim in the Upper Rhne.

This spirit of calculation sees nothing in a sincere Christian but a person who may be plundered at pleasure. If a man enrolled in a congregation for the sake of salvation must pay his weekly subscription to the fund for the Catholic Association, for the petits .firtinaires for the works of God, and for a thousand actions that offend no body except the Ministers, by not giving them mo ney. When Missionaries come into a town, the ne cessary stock of amulets follows in their train, and for these the people give their money. You every where meet begging friars, and every where money must be in in your hand to be well received. This insatiable avarice, this cupidity which bursts the bag, seems to blind those who are possessed by it to their proper merits. The Jesuits of Dile receive money from the Government, for their dupes, from every body; and they would not agree to pay a land tax of forty or sixty francs, which the Treasury would have paid them back with a hundred fold ; orders were necessary, which have placed them in hostility with a whole province. Good sense said pay, but cupidity turned them from this course. They cannot have forgotten, however, that the most powerful auxiliary of the reformation was, that avi dity, and that spirit, of traffic which mingled in reli gious affairs. They would sell indulgences still in a cabaret, if they were sure that there were drunkards there to buy them. These men, incorrigible in their hatred, their ambition, their prejudices, their cupi dity, behave very unseemly to attack the present generation, and reproach us with excesses that we did not even see, and which they have equalled by theirs. They insult us because we will not worship their follies and their vices. Let them cease to ca lumniate a nation, whose disgrace it is not to examine too minutely the nature of the services they perform. Let them leave the nation at peace, and respect it, for the nation is better than they are. FRw Nem FILINDI,—Fve Etc 108 f. 70e. 75c. ; i twee per taenti.. •irn, ti c. a.

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 11.—The Reis Effendi said lately to a European Dragoman, " The Sultan will take the field at the head of his people, and the issue of the contest is in God's hands." The sole reason of the deferring of the departure of the Grand Vizier, from Daud Pacha to Adrianople, is said to be, that the Sultan's astrologers declared the that days of the month Safar to be unlucky. The Sultan's resolution was approved by the great men of the Empire, but, as it seems, not by the lower classes. The line of defence from Silistria to Terkas, near Karabowma, is no other than the old position occupied by the Emperor Anastasius, in 532, but which at that time did not answer the end proposed. The Sultan has spared the life of Solyman Pacha, of Brailow, but has banished him to Mitylene. The army of the Grand Vizier consists of 8,000 Asiatics, 4,000 regulars, and 4,000 militia, all pretty well armed. While the Sultan is at Remasch Pacha, his Harem will be removed to the Seraglio of his sis ter in the suburbs of Ejub. ' The Europea❑ officers who attended Hussein Pacha to Shnmla, to teach the troops the new ex ercise, are for the most part, come back. It seems they have been sent away from distrust. However, they directed the measures of defence that are now begun. According to their account, this campaign is attended with many difficulties to the Russians; —The Cossacks, it seems, are no match for the Spahis; and as the Turks in their retreat lay waste everything, there is nothing to gratify their love of plunder. The firmer), too, forbidding the Turks to cut off the heads and ears of the enemy, is not car ried into effect by Hussein Pacha, and this serves to inflame the - fury of the Spahis. The enemy's army, it is added, is not well supplied with pro visions. ODESsA, AUG.

CONSTA NTINOPLE, AUG. 1 2.-- Yesterday the Sultan solemnly announced that he would shortly march into the field, with the Sanschaki-Scherif (the sacred banner) and the levy en masse, which is esti mated at 300,000 men, but probably much exagge rated. In the first instance his Highness will oc cupy a camp at Ramisch Pacha, beyond the suburb Ejub. Ejub and Daud Pacha are already being for tified by English engineers. It is extremely probable that the Sultan will remain here as long as possible, as he alone is capable of maintaining tranquillity in the capital, which upon his departure might become a prey to the most dreadful disorder. If the Rus sians should succeed in overpowering Sharnla, struggle of despair awaits them under the walls of Constantinople. The preparations making evidently announce a consciousness of approaching danger;— but the Government continues nevertheless to pub lish accounts of victories obtained over the Russians near Silistria, Shumla, and Varna. On the 9th the Grand Vizier proceeded in great state to Daud Pacha*, and in a few days he will proceed at the head of the whole army to Adrianople, whither he will be accompanied by the public functionaries.— The Ministers remain with the Sultan. .The late Iciala Rey, Hulussud-Effendit, has been named Kaiinakan.

WALLER CLIFTON. *44 7 :'-ir, • 444 4 OPP( -Ifte“, ra7) 4444. nie - LONDON. TIJE'SDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, lint It is reported in the City that Lord HEYTFS BURY will shortly return from Odessa. We presume that he has not found NICHOLAS in a proper mood to entertain his moderate pro positions. As far as positive information goes, we have nothing new from the East. The accounts 01 Turkish preparation are varied in appearance, but remain the same in substance. The SULTAN is bent on great doings, if we may judge from the eternal notifications of his setting out for the army with the standard of MAHOMET displayed before him, which it is expected will draw one third of Constantinople to partake of his mili- taly glories. The number estimated is 300,000. Suppose we grant that number, (which is in fact a gross exaggeration) of what value is a multi tudinous army of incoherent materials, fresh from the mechanical labours of a great city, but to af ford a greater field for slaughter, when opposed to the well-ordered assault of disciplined warriors ? Really we think the cause of the SULTAN des perate if he builds his hopes of defence upon the fanatical population of Constantinople, or the undisciplined hordes of Asia. In for mer times these might be of avail when the armies of Russia were of a similar character, but now that they have attained to discipline of the strictest school,. with a poetical experience— worth a thousand theoretical improvements-- how can the blind valour of the Turks hope to resist their onset ? If the SULTA N cannot repel the Russians at Varna and Shumla, can he ex pect to be on even terms with them in the plains of Adrianople or under the walls of Constanti- nople ? But he is not safe iu the Capital if we may credit the various rumours that the lower orders are by no means partial to the war. Indeed it may be chiefly owing to the sulky de monstration of popular feeling in Constantinople that the SULTA N has hitherto delayed his depar ture. If he leave the strong hold of his power to a population predisposed to disaffection, and that his army is defeated in a pitched battle, the game is up with him. Not so if he remain to overawe the seditious by his presence, and invi gorate the faithful by his'own example. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 2d inst. con tains an article from Constantinople of the 11th August, but which conveys no news. The PORTE maintained the greatest secrecy respect- ig all things of an unfavourable character : CONSTANTINt)PLE, AUG. 11. Soon after the departure of the Grand Vizier• to the army had been resolved upon, his Caimacan, or substitute in the capital, was appointed. The choice of the Sultan fell on Ahrnid Chelussi Effendi, formerly Kiaja Bey, Minister of the Interior, who was on the 7th of this month invested with the sable pelisse in his new character. The Grand Vizier will now set out in a few days, some thousand men have already gore before him to the camp at Daud Pacha, many more have taken the road to Adrianople, but it is difficult to state with precision the amount of those troops, because the number of volunteers and of the contingents daily arriving from Asia, among which there is a great portion of well equipped and well mounted cavalry, continually increases, so that the inscrip tions in the muster rolls at the Palace of Chosrew Pacha have been stopped after 80,000 men had been enrolled. The convoys of ammunition and artillery continue without interruption. With respect to time operations in Asia, though the fall of Anapa and Kars is known, the Porte observes the strictest silence respecting those events, and seems to direct its -whole attention to the operations on the other• side of Mount Balkan. The Swift steam-boat, purchased by the Porte of an Englishman of the name of Kellie, arrived here on the sth from the Dardanelles, and towed into the harbour the cor vette built at illitylene, which being attacked by the Hellas Greek frigate near Cape Raba, ran aground, but was after wards got off. VIENNA, AIYQ. 28. MetalliplCB ... .......... Bank Shares Haniburgh Papers state that the REIs EV'.

The sole reason for deferring the departure of the Grand Vizier from .Dand Paella to Adrianople, is said to be tiLit the SULTAN'S astrologers de clared the first days of the month Sefer to be unlucky. The SULTAN'S resolution was ap proved by the great men of the empire ; but, as it seems, not by the lower classes. Frankfort Papers of the 2d inst. have been re ceived, but their contents possess little interest : ALEXANDRIA, JULY 8. A house here has just honk 15,000 bales of cotton of the new crop, at twelve Spanish piastres per cwt. It is supposed to be on commission for some Swiss houses. Mehemet Ali, it is said, promises to make no more consign nients on his own account, and to sell on the spot the various articles of the produce of Egypt which have hitherto been subject to a monopoly. This would be a great improvement in the commerce of this country. A numerous convoy, under the protection of the Austrian schooner La Fenice, is to sail to-morrow. SYRA, JULY 23. M. Rizzo, extraordinary Commissioner on the Cyclades, Las thought fit to call in the armed force in the election of the Demogerontes, which took place on the 3d inst. at Naussa,_ in the isle of Poros. M. Malatesta and another having been elected by the people who were assembled in the church for the purpose, the Commissioner declared that such were not the instructions of the President. The Electors persisted in their choice, and M. Rizzo heingeffended by an observation of M. Malate.sta, " That the Fanariot in fluence ought to yield to that of the law," (M. Rizzo was sue of the Greeks of the Fatter of Constantinople) ordered the soldiers to arrest him, but the population rose and the soldiers were obliged to seek refuge in the house of Capt. Bogano Achici, a rich man, possessing great in fluence, who succeeded in allaying the fermentation and restoring order. (From the Courier de Smyrna, Aug. 3.) Besides the above, the Courier de Smyrne contains in the number of 19th July a letter from Miceni, reflecting on the conduct of the President, whom it reports as governing according to his own pleasure, and delaying the establishment of a legal order of things. Nis pecuniary difficulties are stated to be such, that without the assistance afforded him by Russia and France he could not go on at all. The heavy imposts and taxes are much complained of, and still more the manner in which they are levied. It is said by accounts from the Borders of the Danube, dated the 25th of August, that a por tion of the Russians blockading Shumla had fallen back, in order to facilitate the junction of the reinfkcements coming from the Danube. According to reports from Bucharest, the troops at Shumla, under HussElN PACFIA, are estimated at 100,000. This must be a great exaggeration, unless, indeed, the inhabitants are included. Letters from Alexandria, dated the Ist of August, state that the PaCha of EGYPT mis trusts the French who are-in his service, and has taken the English into his favour. A Company, it was said, was going to be formed, which would put Great Britain in possession of all the com merce of the Red Sea and the Nile, by the in- Toduction of steam navigation. We have in another column given an extract 'rotn Colonel EvANs's spirited work upon The Designs of Russia, which fully proves, if Eng land is disposed to go to war, that resources are not wanting. Indeed we have all along main tained that our National Debt is no imme diate bar to our going to war when a neces sity arises. Our debt is great, but greater still is the capability of the country. Her resources increase with the danger—and her enterprise is quite unparalleled in the history of ancient or modern States. Though the Duke of WEL LINGTON might find it a difficult matter to rouse the energy of the people, because of the want of confidence manifested in his foreign policy, we have no doubt that England would find it un easy matter to raise hundreds of millions for warlike purposes, should occasion demand it. Every successive war, though it has increased her debt, has also more than doubled her revenue, as will be seen by reference to Colonel EVANS'S chapter on Finance. The following extract from his book gives a forcible picture of the Emperor NicHoLAs, which seems to accord with his character, as hitherto developed : On the accession of Nicholas, an opinion, pretty nearly in the following words, was expressed by one of the highest functionaries of the Empire, whose name, were it right to be mentioned, would carry with it even in this country, a degree of authority. ' Russia has now an Emperor whose character is marked by much stronger traits, and who is of a fur higher ambition than dis tinguished his late brother; but those qualities will not suddenly reveal themselves. They will be gradually dis closed by his public conduct.' The truth or inaccuracy of this opinion will soon, from the greatness of the pending events, be resolved." The feeling of the Russian Government, with respect to British commerce, may be gathered from the following:— " Of late years the Russian Government has had the audacity to issue the most rigorous prohibitions*, in effect against 'our trade, for the protection of its infant manufac tures. Accordingly our exports thither have diminished altogether in variety ; and in value remain almost sta tionary, while her exports to this and other countries have increased by rapid strides ; thus leaving a great balance in her favour. As a British market, therefore, compared with our present immense foreign commerce, Russia is a very inconsiderable and unimportant one, and what we ob tain from thence we can produce with equal facility and convenience from Norway, Sweden, America, &c. But, on the other hand, every particle of their external trade lies completely at our mercy ;—a stroke of the pen in the King's Council at Windsor or Downing-street, at once puts an end to it, and deprives them of every kind df sale or market for their surplus produce, which would be the more felt, as it has been of late so greatly and lucratively augmented. dued, armed, indomitable mountaineer enemies, and kh raining every Government establishment.

CITY, Teuurs o'Cioal• A plentiful supply of Money Stock, together with this day and to-morrow being holidays with the Hebrew nation, caused the English Funds to weal rather a heavy appearance, without any business of importance being effected. Consols opened at 881 tur account, went to 87i 8, and are . now 88 1 W account, and 87i 8 for money ; the Cgrnmissiener ° paid 88; at one time the price of Stock both W money and time was the same.

Speculation in the Foreign Funds is now reduct i to a very limited scale indeed ; Russian Bonds hall e been done at 941; a rise has also taken place I P Chilian Bonds, and they are now quoted at 28 A but this price is rather nominal than otherwise; the cause of this alteration is the news from that ci rn vernent being genera ll y cons i dered as indicative ° an earnest desire to keep good faith with the British Bondholders, by making strenuous efforts for t ll9 payment of the dividends due. In Shares there is nothing new to state; tor rial Brazilian retain their old premium, but aPP ee ' s rather unsaleable at present, arising from unfavour able whispers respecting the dividends.
