dloyed as a public entrepot, shall be used for that pur pose, and given up to the merchants, on pay went of a reasonable rent, subject to such regulations as the Board of Customs may think necessary to prevent abuses." Srocxxotm, SEPT. 9.—The security which our com merce now enjoys in the Mediterranean renders the pre sence of his Majesty's squadron lessi necessary, and orders have been given for its return before the winter. One or tlco men of war will probably remain there. The Directors of the Gotha Canal have lately drawn ont the' ast portion of the sum granted by the estates of the kingdom in the last Diet, once for all, for the completion of this undertaking. As the sum, however, is v er y f ar from being sufficient, there will, undoubtedly, be another application to the Diet, which is to meet in November. BRAZIL PAPERS. We received last night the Diatio Fluminense to the 25th of July, containing, in a Supplement to the Diario de Pernambuco, the following PROCLAMATION TO THE PORTUGUESE NATION. Portuguese !—lt is not as your King that I am now ad dressing .you, as my abdication has been completed, but as the father of your legitimate Queen, Donna Maria 11., and as her guardian. The compulsion under which my brother the Infant Don Miguel, the Regent of the kingdom, labours, is, in every point of view, clear and manifest. To entertain a con • trary opinion would be an offence against his honour, which I deem untainted ; it would amount to consider ing him a traitor to the assurances or protestations he made to me, whilst I was his King, and reputing him perjured in his oath, which Le so freely aad spontaneously took at Vienna, in Austria, and ratified at Lisbon before the na tion legally represented in conformity with the Constitu tional Charter, which was offered and granted by me to you, and accepted by himself and by you, and freely and solemnly sworn to. A disorganizing faction laboured constantly in the midst of unhappy Portugal, under pretence of defending the throne and the altar, in disregard of all religious, civil, and political considerations ; it disputed the indubitable and imprescriptible rights by which your Queen legally ascend ed the throne of her ancestors ; it domineered and lorded it over the Regent ; it ruled the kingdom; it dissolved a Chamber of worthy Deputies, distinguished by their deseits and merits ; it did not immediately summon another, ac cording to the sth Title, Ist chapter, ;4th Article, and 4th paragraph of the Constitutional Charter, thereby ma nifestly usurping the Legislative Power, it appointed a Junta to issue fresh instructions (precepts or writs) for the election of Deputies, whom it called legal. These are not warranted ; but, on the contrary, it destroyed the Constitu tional Charter by a single blow, by calling together the ancient Cortes, an institution already abolished by the oath of this very same Constitution; it praised and ap proved crimes committed against those citizens who were faithful to their oaths. It consented to, and even authorised, the troops, who ought to have watched over the public safety, to commit atrocities in the very capital itself under pretence of defending the throne and the altar. How far can misfortune carry incautious and weak men ! Nor did it stop here. It lauded Portuguese soldiers, when com mitting acts of insubordination against their chiefs— against commanders faithful to their oaths, resting on the two principal anchors, the Threw and the Altar ! What "1 prone could consent to the committing of such crimes? What religion could enjoin the execution of such proceed ings against decency, and the decorum due to respectable and distinguished families ? Oh, Portuguese ! to what a pass is your unfortunate country come, under the dominion of fanaticism, hypo crisy, and despotism ! If it were possible, your ancestors would rise from their graves, and suddenly drop down dead at seeing the cradle of their victories transferred into such h Irors. _ . . You are worthy of a better fate : your happiness is in your own hands, as well as your ruin. Follow my advice, Portuguese; it k given to you by a philanthropic and truly constitutional heart. _ It is time that you should open your eyes, and all unite and stand by the oaths you have taken to the Constitu tional Charter, and to the rights of your Queen. By doing this you will not only save your country, but like wise my brothel; by defending the true throne and the free. Roman Catholic and Apostolic religion. Give not the victory, oh Portuguese ! to the enemies of Constitu tional Monarchical Governments, who wish to see per :infers placed upon thrones, in order to strengthen their arguments against such forms of Government; far be it from me to call my brother a perjurer or a traitor, he acts no doubt under compulsion ; and I consider, and shall con sider him in that light, ;is long as the heads of _the disor ganizing faction do not leave 'Portugal. Portuguese, stand by the Constitutional Charter; it is not of foreign growth, it was granted to you by a Constitutional King; and what evils has it brought upon you? Liberty, of which you had only a promise before. Yes, Portuguese, bedew the Tree of Liberty with your blood, and you will see how it will flourish amongst you, and bear fruits, in de spite of all intrigues and machinations. Do sot suffer your country to be assailed by the blows of perfidy and treason ; that country which is already oppressed by the yoke of the most ferocious description. Yon are a free people—you form an independent nation ; what more can you hope for ? The Governments of Europe support the legitimacy of your Queen. Fight for her and for the Constitutional Charter, and fear nought in the shape of obstacles. Consider that the cause you are going to defend is the cause of justice, and that you are bound to it by an oath. The truth does not penetrate as far- as into the presence of your Regent. Fanatics, hypocrites, demo. ralized and despotic men, have blinded him. The immi nent danger in which his life is placed makes him submit to this faction, the like of which has never been seen amongst the Portuguese people, which was ever free from the commencement of the monarchy, as the pages of its history prove. Follow the example of those ancient Pon. tuguese ; approach' your Regent; speak to him very plainly and respectfully, as those spoke to the King Don Alfonso IV., and tell him, "By the road your Highness suffers yourself to be led in, you will inevitably plunge yourself into the deepest abyss ; govern us conform ably to the Constitutional Charter, which both your Highness and ourselves have sworn to, and know that this is the only legitimate course we choose to see adopted." If y"u do this, you will see, that be, finding the Portuguese disposed to support him as Constitutional Regent, will withdraw himself from the shameful tutorage by which lie is now ruled, and which would lead him to the precipice, f ro m whence he can never recede with honour; and that b e will throw himself into your arms, and, by governing you according to law, make you happy. Come to his assistance, Portuguese ! otherwise lie and you will become INly consci ence i s f ree from ran the victimA of anarchy , cour. I explained the truth to you ;if you choose to follow i t , you will be happy ; If not, you will find the most refined despotism raising its neck amongst you, which vou will never be a b le to crush again. - Rio de Janeiro, the 25th of July, 1 82 s.

These papers make no mention whatever of Buenos Ayres. AMERICAN PAPERS. (From the New York Morning Courier of Aug. 1 8 .) NEW YoaK, Auc. 18.—The Carthagena Correspondent of the Courier des Etats Unis writes, under the date of July 21, that a new insurrectional movenlent had taken place amongst the Colombian troops of Peru, in which the Peruvian troops participated. The General-in-Chief La Mar had ben displaced, to make room for General Santa Cruz, a devoted soldier of the Liberator. The cry of the and long may he live, foi " . Long live Bolivar!" troops is , and real liberty of South America • the prosperity are in terwoven with his existence. On the morning of the 15th, the British barque the Lady of the Late, Captain Leitch, arrived at this port, United States schooner Si t under charge of the Uni ark. From Captain Leitch we learn that the Lady of the Lake sailed from Liverpool on the 15th of Juno last, for Philadelphia, having on board 169 passengers, and her lower h o ld full of coals and crates of earthenware. The passengers h as' . ing imprudently calculated on a short, or rather, a fair aye. rage passage, laid in, as steerage passengers generally ant found to supply themselves, a stock of provisions accord ingly, which were exhausted about twenty days ago ; and Captain Leitch, in order to prevent starvation, found it necessary to serve out the ship's stores among the passengets. The water, in addition, being very bad, was served out sparingly. Much discontent was, in cci l sevoce of theca things, manifested, iartictdarlY bY LONDON, AIONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, IS2B. The French Journals of Friday have some ac counts from Constantinople, according to which the Russians have not been so successful as might have been anticipated. Little stress, however, is to be placed on these accounts ; at any rate they are to be received with due reserve, more especially as they are evidently penned in a strong spirit of exaggeration. Still, supposing them in the main correct, what do they prove ? Surely not that the Russians have altogether miscalculated the chances of success, but that a falling nation has made, and is still making, a last desperate struggle—the temporary convul sions of weakness. Russia never could have expected a lounge to Constantinople. She could not have fancied that the Turks were to lay down their arms and receive her with acclamation. Opposition she must have been prepared for ; and our only surprise, con sidering the character of the SULTAN, and the high tone of his manifesto, is, that she has met with so little. HUSSEIN PACIIA, it seems, is the great man who has defeated the Russ;ans in their last at tack on Varna. To his activity the SULTAN attributes his present successes, and has rewarded him with some appropri2te presents. Th e con spiracy at Constantinople is, as we suspected, unimportant. A new Expedition to the Morea is on the eve of sailing, probably towards the end of the month, from Toulon. If the Quotidienne may be believed, its first object is to possess itself of Modon and Coron. The Dutch and German Papers state that IBRAHIM PACUA is assembling his troops, and intends to take up a position between Modon and Coron. He has, it seems, no intention of quittin g the Morea, but is fully prepared to repel force by force. The negotiations entered into with his father by Admiral CODRINGTON may probably induce him to alter his resolutions. From the same authorities we learn that the Turks have made themselves masters of the re doubts at amnia, and slaughtered numbers of the enemy, and among them General WR EDE. New York Papers to the 20th ultimo have b ee n received at the North and South A mer i can Coffee-house. The following is a n extract of the latest date from Lima, (th e 3d o f June) which states, it has been agitated in Congress to prohibit all those articles which now p ay 90 per cent.; it has been even proposed to prohibit flour. It seems, however, not probable that these plans will be put in force ; at all events, if such a prohi. bition should take place, a term of at least eight months would be granted previous to its taking effect. Rio de .Janeiro Papers have been received. They contain little or nothing worth mentioning except Don PEDRo's proclamation to the Por tugues'e• In this interesting document, lie chooses to confider —and the irony, had D9ll MIGUEL one spark of honourable feeling, must be stinging in the extreme—that his brother is under the influence of a misguided faction, 'and acts solely. on compulsion. To the Portuguese, generally, he recommends, in temperate, but energetic tan g►►age, obedience to the Constitution ; and after inveighing at some length against the infamous bloodthirsty faction that at present lords it over Portugal, exhorts them to approach Don Att- GuEr., and firmly point out to him the dangers that beset his path. Accounts from Lisbon state that the Govern ment are putting in a state of defence the Forts of Belem and St. Julien, as they entertain great fear that the Emperor Don PEDRO will soon send a squadron to blockade them. We have generally abstained from noticing the errors of our Contemporaries, excepting where they sinned more from perversity of pur pose than from ignorance of fact. We feel as sured that the public must care little for the squabbles of Journalists, as proceedin g more from interested motives than from that high principle which alone ought to influence those who aspire to public confidence. But when that honourable confidence is abused by those who appeal to its candour, it becomes the duty of the Pleas, generally, to denounce tl►e culprit, that the public may be put upon its guard against those who value less consistency of principle, titan an opportunity to bring it to the best market, and worship the idol of the day. In our Paper of Saturday we pointed atten tion to a .Journal which should be nameless, but for its Spanish ambition to have more names than subscribers,—a Journal which had as long a train of " aliases" as any worthy that has lately figured at tl►e bar of the Old Bailey. Of that Journal we should have taken no further notice, but from a conviction that our duty to the public demands exposure of the many base shifts by which it has lately courted notoriety. It may be in the recollection of some that the original name of the New Times was the Day— a name by which the Newsmen still designate the renegade. But that name had no more charm for Readers than for Advertisers, and the honest trader thought of getting both by assum ing the name of the Times—a Paper which it vainly attempted to copy in all but its spirit and intelligence—feeling well assured that the bow of ULYSSES was too mighty for such hands. Under its new title it has groNin old upon the public, notwithstanding its incorporation with the British Press, and re-incorporation With the Representative. All would not avail it —no, not even its union with the Courier; which latter, with instinctive sagacity, to save itself, has discarded the many headed Journal. The New Times begins now to feel that one good name is better than many questionable ap pellations ; and accordingly, we understand, that among " the various changes and improve ments" which it announces are to astonish the world in a few days, is to be an entirely new name—tumour says the " Morning Journal !" For this one act we commend it, because it be tokens a sense of shame ; a twitch of conscience betrays. that all is not right ; for a man would as soon forswear his country as change his name, unless he felt that he had outlived its worth. With this happy change we have not heard whether it means once more to change its prin ciples—that is, whatever of principle is left to bear another turn—but we presume, judging from the past, that a new Prime Minister can best 4 nswer this question. Within the last twelve months, England has had four Prime Ministers ; and the New Times, true as the dial, as many sets of principles. With Lord LIVERPOOL it was ultra—against Free Trade and Catholics ; with Mr. CANNING it was the most violent ad vocate of both, and the most unsparing of that great Statesman's admirers. With Ldrd GODR• RICH it veered a little; and with the Duke of WELLINGTON—but let consistency be spared— tee will not say how much his cause is graced by the would-be Morning Journal ! A " Morning Journal"—fond deceiver— . Times may alter, but not thou— Neu• or old—what name soever Suits thee—shame still brands thy brow. But the public arc not, perhaps, aware how much our old friend, with a new name, hopes to make by this last flourish ;—why, under the name of a Morning Journal, it expects to catch all those indefinite orders which are sent for " a Morning Paper." Failing in its attempt to gain a livelihood from the stragglers from the Times, it enlarges the sphere of its piracy, and now tries to pick up from all Morning Journals alike. But it won't do—it is the last shift—the forlorn hope of prostitution. We pity those Country Bankers who have now taken the hireling into keeping—all her arts will only serve to render their speculation the more desperate—the Sy. ren's notes will prove as unavailing as their own —and we should not be surprised if they die together, unless they consign her to the protec tion of other Jobbers, who may have a hopeless reputation at stake. To-morrow we may possibly " show up" this erring nymph of consistency—for her errors are upon record. She may affect csntempt, the better to hide the bitterness of her spirit—but our scorn may do her some good ; for the chas tisement is meant more in pity than in anger. To the public we say, i n t h e l anguage of those sarcastic gentlemen with l ong poles, who en- the Irish part of the passengers, who threatened to take the Captain's life, so that he deemed it prudent to carry arms for self-preservation. On the day they made Long Island, a fine northerly wind carried them near Rirnegat, where they were becalmed. The passengers then became more unruly than before, and at length took possession of the little water which remained, nor would they allow a drop for some time for the use of the cabin ; and demanded, moreover, that they should be landed immediately on the beach then in sight. Captain Leitch ordered the anchor to be dropped, and attempted to send his boat on shore for provisions and assistance; but it was found too leaky.— The barque was soon after visited by some fishing smacks, who bargained to supply the vessels with provisions and water, and also offered to convey the passengers to the shore. Captain Leitch having found it in vain to endeavour to prevent their landing, threw no opposition in the way. While the fishing vessels were engaged in landing the pas sengers, the United States schooner Shark bore down and took possession of the barque, and brought her into this port, notwithstanding the destination of the vessel was Philadelphia, and the wind equally favourable for that port. We understand Captain Leitch has entered his protest against all the proceedings in the case, which has thus far prevented him from reaching his port of destination. PRICES OF STOCKS. Offered, Asked.

Dutch Papers to the 20th, St. Petersburgh Journals to the 6th, and the Austrian Observer to the 10th inst. have been received this morn- ing ; the former bring accounts from Vienna to the 10th inst. There are however no additional details of importance from the Theatre of War, though the report that the Russians have been unsuccessful before Varna is still persevered in. The following are extracts : BATAVIA, MAY 15. • On the 11th April a remarkable solemnity took place at Socrakarta. The old Regent of Moening, who had been engaged by one of his sons in the troubles in Rambang, hut afterwards, repenting, had come and delivered himself up to the Resident of Socrakarta, with his wife, and son of 17 years of age (who, notwithstanding his youth, had manifekited the greatest dissatisfaction with his brother's unfaithful conduct), took the oath of fidelity to the Go vernment of the Netherlands, which was received by the Resident. After the old Regent, who had been for a mo• ,rent unfaithful, had conversed some time with the Resi dent, and manifested true repentance for his fault, the oath was read to him. Having repeated it three tirnee, the Re gent, who was unarmed, received from the Resident a creese, as a sign that he was raised by the Government to honour, from the state of debasement in which his fault had placed him. The son also took the oath, and received a ereese, which he was recommended always to employ in the good cause. VIENNA, SEPT. 10 We are still without an`• details of the late events before Varna, but it is generally believed that they have been un favourable to the Russians. It is affirmed that the Cap tain Paella has orders to defend the fortress to the utmost, and not to accept of any capitulation, however honourable. A quick sailing vessel is said to have been dispatched to Odessa to apply for reinforcements. The vigorous sallies from the fortresses on the Danube seem to be connected with the general plan of the Turks for this campaign, and it is said, that in consequence of the sally from Widdin General Geismar will exchange the command in Little Wallachia for a command in the army before Stnnia. Yesterday the Metalliques were at 944 ; Bank Shares, 1081 i ; in the evening they had risen to 1087. AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 19.--Exchange on London, 12 two months, 11 95. ST. PETERSBERCII, SEPT. 3.

The Austrian Observer contains from the Greek Bee an account of the last tour of the President through part .1 Greece. He had left Pores on the 27th June oa board the Warspite, and arrived at Egina on the 29th July, on board the Russian frigate Helena. The accounts of the commencement of his tour, and his conference with the Admirals at Corfu, have already appeared. On the 15th July his Excellency went to Calamo, where lie had a conference with Capt. Maudesley, the English resident. This officer undertook to distribute bread among the nume rous families from WesternGreece,who have fled to that island, anti are in great distress. Capt. M. received for this purpose 25,000 Turkish piastres, and was so obliging as to pro mise the President to send him shortly the list of the families to whom relief shall have been afforded. From Calamo he went to Dragonsestre, and than sailed on Isoard the Azoff to Calamata. On the 20th he landed at Allnyro, passed part of the day there, and on the 21st of July, having taken leave of Admiral Heyden, he returnad thither, with a very few attendants. The President then proceeded by the ruins of Nisi aid Micromani, and passed the night at Scala. On the 22d lie went to Lender! ; and on the 28d, in the evening, came to the ruins of Tripolizza. The next day he went round the former ramparts, and through the streets, which were choked up with the ruins of all the houses which Ibrahim, on leaving the place in February, had caused to be destroyed, partly by fire, partly by his artillery. In the after noon he went to Achladocampo ; and on the 25th, in the morning, had reached the Mills of Napoli, where the boats of the Helena were ready to take him on board, and he arrived at Megara on the 28th July. During his tour through the interior of the Pelo ponneims he visited many villages now in ruins, conferred with the Demogerontes of these villages, and with the Com missioners of Lower Messenia, Arcadia, and Argolis. The numerous families returning to Tripolizza will be rejoiced at the arrival of Captain Gernot, of the engineers, and Captain Stamati Bulgari, of the general staff. These two distinguished officers are of the number of those whom the King of France was allowed to engage in the service of Greece. Furnished with the instructions of the President they will make a survey of Tripelizza, and give the first directions for the works to which the former inhabitants •f the town devote themselves with admirable zeal ; there is no idea of restoring Tripolizza at present oa a regular plan, only care will be taken that no buildings shall be erected which may hinder the execution of such a plan in more favourable times. (The Prussian State Gazette to the 16th September inclusive, has no further news from the theatre of war.) The following more favourable account has been received from Peterhead, dated the 18th of September, relative to the Davis Straits Fishery:— The Kierro, of Hull, with four fish from Green land, went on shore.

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK, The commencement of the week has not been signalised by any addition to the business in the English Funds, and every thing remains in the same uninteresting state which characterised the operations of the Stock market last week. Consols have been nominally 88, sellers, for account, and 87i 8 for money ; but such has been the low ebb to which the transactions have been reduced that we have not heard of a single bargain up to the above hour. India Bonds, are 96 8 ; Exchequer Bills, 75 6 pin. The Foreign Funds remain in a languid and dull state; the arrival of the Brazil packet, the letters of which are de livered, furnishes no new feature, being only a few days later than our former advice. ; the Exchange at Rio re mained at 301 31 per milrea. The Commissioners per the Redpole packet had not arrived on the 28th of July from the River Plate. The Proclamation issued by Don Pedro to the Portuguese of the 25th July is considered in the City of a conciliatory description, and as giving a proof of a pacific disposition ; the Bonds remain at 64 The Lord Melville packet arrived at Rio en the 25th July ; the announcement of a new loan negociated for the use of the Russian Government in Rolland . has had no effect on the Bonds, which are 94 ; th e amount is for 18 millions of florins, rather more than millions sterling, and has been taken at the high rate of 98f by the house of Hope in Amsterdam, and is likely to remain in that country alto gether ; Portuguese are 551 56.
