missed, They were chiefly those who had signed the address in favour of the absolute King. The Count de Ilarbacena,—who, by one of those• resolutions which men of skill know how to employ in difficult circumstances, decided upon the young Queen's voyage to England, instead of Gibraltar or Oe»oa, whence she might have proceeded to Aus tria,--has become an object of hatred and horror to Don Miguel and his mother. It is now stated that in the deliberation which took place on the 3d of September last, in the bay of Gibraltar, on board the frigate the linperatrice Marie, in order to de cide the course which it was necessary to take pending the events which might happen to Por tugal, the Count delivered his opinion in these terms :—" A few days earlier, and the presence of her Majesty at Oporto would have supported the moral strength of the defenders of her rights, but the success of this fair cause being at this moment endangered, it would, in my opinion, destroy all the hopes which remain to Portugal, and prevent the re establishment of leol order in that kingdom, to con duct to Vienna the sacred deposit which the Empe ror our master has confided to us. I therefore think that it would be better to convey her Majesty to England, there to await fresh instructions from the Emperor, her august father.

REPORT OF THE OPERATIONS BEFORE SHIJMLA, FROM THE 6TH (1511 I) TO THE 9TH (21ST) OF SEPTEMBER. BERLIN, OCT. 12.—Our position before Shumla is the same, without any alteration. On the 18th one of our detachments, which was obliged to forage in Jenibazar and the neighbouring villages, was at tacked by a body of 3,000 of the enemy, which had come from Shumla by a hollow way of the Balkan, which passes by Imadava, and falls into the road from Jenibazar to Koludschi. The troops which protected our train repulsed the enemy's cavalry , with loss, which then threw itself into the valley in which the foragers were, under the protection of a company of the 31st Regiment of Yagers, commanded by Capt. Izygmaew and I.ieut. Nekrosow. They immediately . formed a square, and the summons of the Turks to surrender was answered by a brisk fire, without the loss of a single man. The attacks of this body of 3,000 men were repidsed till the arrival of a rein forcement of two companies, which compelled the Mussulmans to retreat. - To prevent similar attacks in fame, the corps cotraamded by Major-General Poncet has occupied all the points of which the Turks might avail themselves to make sallies towards Jenibazar or Koludschi. Patrols traverse the woods in the vicinity of the Balkan, but without meeting with the enemy. (REPORT 01 THE OPERATIONS BEFORE VARNA TO THE 11115 (23D) OF SEPTEMBER.) The works of the besiegers continue to advance with the help of two gabions. We have got an en trance into a ditch adjoining a battery of eight 24-pounders, which is designed to effect a breach between the Ist and 2d bastions of the North side of the fortress towards the sea, and has not failed in its effect; part of the fortifications have been overthrown. (ACCOUNTS OF THE OPERATIONS BEFORE SILISTRIA, FROM THE 8111 (21ST) TO THE 16th (28TH) AUGUST. As the coulier despatched with the report of the advantages gained by Gen. Roth was intercepted, we could not communicate sooner the account of the en gagement before Silistria. After General Roth had in the night of the 20th Of August erected a battery of 20-pounders before the centre of his position, and oil the - 9th (2180 le pulsed a vigorous sally, and" on the:l lth and 12th (23d and 24th) taken considerable droves of oxen and horses, almost under the walls of the fortress; the detachments of casalry and infantry which pro tected these herds being dispersed by our Humans and Cossacks, he resolved to take possession on the night of the 13th T2.sth) of the height before his left wing. The enemy had intrenched himself on these heights, and justly esteemed the possession of them to be of great importance. Col. Szamutow, who di rected the attack, executed it successfully at midnight. A battalion of. infantry attacked the enemy's en trenchments in front, and two squadrons of Hulans in the rear, and carried them in a few minutes, and maintained their position in them. At day-break a column of the enemy endeavoured to drive us out of the entrenchments, but was repulsed with loss ; soon a second column appeared, and succeeded in penetrating to the heights occupied by us, but it was repulsed by two squadrons of the Hulans of Petersburgh and Charcow; lastly, a division of 3,000 men made a third attempt to recover the in trenchments, attacking us vigorously with five field pieces, supported by the guns of the fortress. The enemy reached the heights defended by us, but AVaS Po warmly received by our battery, which General Roth had directed against the enemy's right wing, that being pressed in front by our infantry, in flank by the Hulans, and in the rear by four companies of infantry, be was forced to take flight, and our troops pursued to the walls of the fortress, the gates of which were closed against the fugitives, the enemy fearin g that we should enter with them into the foPtress. The Turks left 600 dead in the field ; we had 72 killed, and 312 wounded; among the latter are Co lonels Szamutow and Awiet, of the Petersburgh and Charcow Hulans. )General Roth bestows the highest commendations on both these officers.— Prussian States Gazette, Oct. 12: TRIESTE, OCT. etters from Otranto say that the second division of the French expedition had ar rived on the coast of the Morel, and sailed first towards Modon, but afterwards towards p otrac _ Since that the most conflicting accounts have been spread respecting the destination of the French ex-. pedition, and the designs of the English squadron,, which are so improbable that we must hesitate to credit them. Among other things, it - is said that Admiral Malcolm would not allow the French troops of the second division to land. VIENNA, OCT. 7.—This afternoon our Exchange was in great agitation ; the Funds fell immediately , though the real cause was not know n. Various reports were of course alleged. Some said that the Russians had resumed their old positions before Shumla; according to others they had been driven back there with the loss of their artillery. Lastly, that it was affirmed that a breach between France and England was unavoidable, and that a commer cial express-from Paris had brought communications on this subject, which authorised the greatest ap prehensions. It seems that nothing official has been received from the theatre of war. We still look for the news of the taking of Varna.

ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY.--Saturday a ritneral Meeting was called of the Members of the Surrey Auxiliary Anti-Slavery society, fix the purpose of sub mitting to the:r notice a petition to both Houses of Parla ment, that had been drawn up by the Committee. The Meeting was held at the Spread Eagle Inn, Epsom, and a little after one o'clock, J. WILSON, Esq. was unanimously called to the Chair.

MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, 1828. The public will recollect that latterly there bad been much surprise and indignation manifested at the frequent miscarriage of letters sent to Paris through the Post-effice, with remittances in money and bills. As the loss had become serious, the strictest investigation IA as set on foot, but without any satisfactory clue to the depre dators, who exercised a singular vigilance in escaping detection. However, very recently, some letters with remittances were lost in such an extraordinary way as to puzzle inquiry. No one could discover the ►nears by which they were abstracted from the Post, till at length suspicion fell upon those in the most confiden tial departments, when the culprit was detected in the person of the Count de MALLARME. He was high in the Administration des Posies at Paris, of which the Marquis de VAULCHIER is Director-General, and very lately defended the honour of the Post-office with great warmth, if not indignation, at the imputations cast upon the inviolability of the department under his care. We, of course, acquit the Noble Marquis of all knowledge of the nefarious transactions carried on by men whose rank in life and station in the department placed their honour above suspicion ; but the Count de MALLARME wai actually taken with seveniettos in his pocket—each containing remittances ! This discovery has naturally created an indescribable sensation. But the Count's life is safe. By the French law, the crime is not capital, as in England. The punishment there is condemnation to the galleys for life. A Peer of France sent to the galleys will be rare news for the Parisians. Hamburgh Papers of the 15th inst. have been received. An article dated Berlin attributes many of the accounts in the Allgemeine Zeitung about the disasters of the Russians, as emanat- This ing from Stock-jobbing speculators. is not at all unlikely—for the campaign set out with a stock-jobbing propensity. The Russians gained a great battle before they saw a Turk. Letters from the Russian head-quarters before Varna of the 25th September, being two days later than the previous accounts, contain no news. What are the Russians about? H ILMANSTA DT, SEPT. 25. Accounts from Widdin, of the 22d instant ,say that ten Lhousand fresh troops, uader the command of the Pacha Omer Vrione, of Salonichi, had arrived. These accounts pretend that the Seraskier of Widdin has received orders from the Sultan to collect his whole force (which, with the usual oriental exaggeration, is stated at 60,000 men), and to enter Little Wallachia ; 12,000 men, it is added, oc cupied the position of Kalefat immediately after the receipt of the Sultan's firman. This news has caused great alarm among the inhabitants of Little Wallachia; but it was hoped that General Geismar, with his corps, which had been reinforced, would be able to check the desolating in cursions of the Turks. M 12. The report s d a t e d f rona Vienna and ZERLIN, Buchar O est, of the disasters of the Russians, published in the .Allgenteine Zeitung, are considered for the most part to be stock-job biug speculations. OCT 13. Letters from the R uss i an head-quarters MERLIN, before . of 25th Sept., contain no news. C OPENHAGEN, OCT. 11. The exportation of corn from Denmark to England has been much more inconsiderable thisiear than the preceding. Hi s Royal Highness Prince Frederick Charles Christian is to arrive here on the 25th inst., and the marriage is to take place on the Ist of November. STOCKHOLM, ocT. 7. Baron Von Edelcreutz died yesterday, in the 68th year of .s age. It is underitood that the contribution usually levied f or :he dowry of the Princesses will not be required on the present occasion. The French Papers contain nu news from the East ; but the Gazette de France conjures up a host of evils likely to befal the Russian armies, if they have not already destroyed them. There is some probability, however, in these lucubra tions, but they do not possess much novelty. Speculation has almost said its worst with re spect to the fate of the Russians, aid the inconsiderate character of the whole war, which is generally described not su much a war of intrepid success on the part of the Turks, as a tissue of mismanagement and ridiculous boast on the part of the Imperial Proles sor of Moderation, who must now learn to put into practice a lesson which he has only hitherto deigned to profess. But Kings can not controul their destiny any more than humble individuals—and NICHOLAS will no doubt now be glad to adopt the creed of the Turks, by attributing all his reverses to the strong hand of destiny. But let him take Varna, and his character will not be altogether lost, although the roost part of his army may. If he fail at Varna, we will not envy his meditations, even though they be Imperial. Dutch and German Papers have been received. IBRAHIM PACHA has at length quitted the scene of his devastations, and sailed for Alexan- dria: -- HAARLEM, OCT. 18. The Haarlem Courant, after giving the official Rus sian bulletin of the corps before Silistria to 28th August, from the Prussian State Gazette, observes, "As no later news than of 28th August from Silistria had been received at the head-quarters before Varna on 23d Sep tember, it is to be apprehended that the communication is again interrupted, and we are therefore still in uncertainty respecting the unfavourable accounts from Bucharest, of the salty said to have been made by the garrison of Silistria on the 15th September." The Amsterdam Courant observes on the bulletins, " Our readers will perceive that there is an interval be tween the above bulletins and the last preceding, published in the Prussian State Gazette. The preceding were from Shumla, dated the 13th, and from Varna the 17th September. The present resume the accounts of the events befiwe the first place on the 18th, and date the bulletin of the siege of Varna on the 23d. It is possible that the change in the-way _by which the bulletins are sent (as the news papers have announced, they are to go to St. Petersburgh) may have have caused some delay on the receipt of one bulletin, and that we shall receive it in the sequel." The Emperor of Austria has given permission to Prince Gustavus to wear the Grand Cross of the Order of the Netherlands Lion. It seems that no time is yet fixed for the marriage of that Prince with her Royal Highness the Princess Marianne, though it has been reported that it was to take place on the 10th November next. ST. PETEASBURGII, OCT. 2 AND 4. The St. Petersburgh Journals contain no news what ever frem the theatre of war. Te Deunt was performed on the Ist Oct. for the successes of General Paskewitsch in Asia. ODESSA, SEPT. 27. Several vessels laden with provisions sailed yesterday from this port for Kovarna. Hardly any business is doing here, there is little demand for corn. CRAJOVA, SErT. 22. The Russians have again taken their position at Czoroi, and the Turks, though they have received reinforcements from Widdin, have remained on the defensive since the last incursion. TRIESTE, OCT. 4. Letters from Corfu of Sept. 20, say that lbrahi►n Paella has at length sailed for Alexandria. VIENNA, OCT. B.—Metalliques, 944 ; Bank Shares, 1072. In another column will be found some extracts from the Berlin Gazette, touching the operations by'ore Shumla, Varna, and Silistria. 'Varna had surrendered or been stormed on the 23d Sept. from which we may infer that the garrison was very strong, or the besiegers too weak to risk an assault. There is evidently a strange contradic tion between the accounts in the Berlin Gazette and those received through other channels. The safest plan will probably be to consider both as highly coloured or too partial. We look for the fate of Varna being decided by every post. The price of Corn has again cousiderab. fallen in Mark-lane, and much of the alarm ex pressed for the insufficiency of the harvest has now abated. What contributed to the fear of a scarcity was the fact, that the harvest in France was below the expectations of the public, in con sequence of which the price rose. But we have reason to thank that the alarm and price will both subside there as well as here, for several brigs under Russian colours have arrived in Calais within these few days, laden with wheat from Russia, by order of the French Government. It will prove a seasonable supply, for prices were getting up before their arrival. Ten cargoes landed in Calais. Our Paper this day contains ample details of the arrest of Mr. LAWLESS, and other news from Ireland. The arrest of Mr. LAW LESS was the most inconsiderate thing which the Government could have done. If he was guilty he ought to have been arrested long before, and this step note only proves that the Government had formerly neglected their duty, and are now too late in performing it. They have erred doubly, first by omission, and secondly by commission, but we have not room for comment. We are much concerned to state that the fever at Gibraltar has assumed an alarming appearance. Letters and Papers from thence have been re ceived, of the 29th ult. inclusive, which men tion that up to this date the cases from the commencement amounted to 1131, and the deaths to 195. On the 26th of Sept., the number of easesadmitted, 77 ; deaths, 12. On the 27th, admissions, 100; deaths, 13. On the 28th, admissions, 86; deaths, 16. And on the 29th, admissions, 109; deaths, 17. One letter we have seen states the cases to exceed 100 each day, and the deaths 30. The wind had continued from the eastward, with foggy cloudy weather ; but on the 29th it was from S.S.W., clear, with slight showers—a more favourable quarter. It is said the Duke of WELLINGTON is in treaty for the beautiful estates called Wolverton Park and Ewburst, comprising upwards of 6,000 acres.—Sheffield Mercury. The character of the country is felt to be at stake ; and every lever of independence and toleration, every enemy to oppression, selfishness, and arbitrary prin ciples, feels it his duty to attend On that day of trial, and put, down these bigotted and tyrannic " Ilrunswiekers," who have en often endeavoured to annihilate the liberties of tlieir counlryinen. It is seen to be not a question of doc trine between Catholic and Prot,stant, but of freedom against slavery, of liberality against despotism—the men of Kent never hesitate betnee❑ these, where they have a fair fi e ld fu r the declaration of their sentiments.

The following impromptu has been wade and exhibited in the Foreign market upon a gentle man who WEN a steady and strenuous supporter of the original Brazilian Mining Share company, but who has since been found on the sly to be trans ferring his affections to the National Brazilian, which has afforded some amusement to the wags. Oh, strange! Oh, strange ! Oh, wondrous strange ! But no more strange than true ; At last I've sold my old Brazil, And want to buy the new. It has been an old saying, second thoughts are best, and probably this is the cause for the party changing his opinion. Three per Cent.

Sta,—Permit me to notice in your independent Journal a snug little canvass,! now going on in the City, to elect a " Receiver of Brokers' Rents," in the hope that it may attract the attention of sonic gentleman, who may have the power, as well as the spirit, to resist successfully a gross violation of one of the standing orders of the Court of Common Council, merely to let into the emoluments of office one of that Honourable Court, in preference to any one of its Constituents not disqualified by a specific regu lation to the duties of it. The Standing Order to which 1 allude beras date 26th November, 1796. " WATSON, Mayor,—That no person, who is a mem ber of the Court, or has been so within three calendar months of the day fixed for the election to any office or place in the gift or appointment of the Court, shall be eligible to be a candidate." Yet I find, in the teeth of this salutary measure, passed no doubt to uphold the dignity and integrity of the Court of Common Council, live of the Members of that Court have issued, in their own names, a circular strongly re commending to the Aldermen and Common Council one of their own Body to be Receiver of Brokers' Rents, and there is every reason to believe the job will succeed, if not counteracted in time by others, who may be more willing to protect] the rights and privileges of their Constituents. If nothing but fair play be - intended, why delay the election till some scheme be devised to qualify the favourite Candidate for Office, either by influencing the Committee not to report on the accounts of the late Receiver until three months after next St. Thomas's Day (knowing a Member of the Common Council cannot resign) or to prevail on the Court to " get rid of the standing order al together," as a comfortable assurance to their Fellow- Citizens that" whenever a good thing is to be given away the Donors will take care that the Receiver shall be one a themselves."—l am, Sir, yours, &e. City, Oct. 18 CMS. MR. GEORGE ROBERT DAWSON.-It is with pleasure we announce that this gentleman, (brother in-law to Mr. PEEL) has within these few weeks declared openly his decided conviction of the absolute necessity of granting (and immediately granting) Roman Catholic Emancipation. He has)eft the country for London.-- Freeman's Journal. THE KENT MEETING.---An immense sen sation pervades the country respecting the approaching meeting. The Brunswickers ate trying every expedient to meet the spontaneous opposition to their illiberal attempt, which developer itself in all quarters. We never remem ber public feeling more alive than on the present occasion. Morning Paper. BRUNSWICK CLUB.—At a late meeting of the Armagh Brunswickers, a Rev. Doctor 'yclept MILLER, held forth tit considerable length on the impolicy of grant ing concessions, and all that, to the Papists. Among a variety of books brought forward on the occasion the Doc tor quoted one of his own lectures, which, in point of style and intellect, bore a beautiful analogy to his speech ; both were, we need scarcely add, intelligible only to himself. Another Rev. Doctor also, bight ROBINSON, was parti cularly noisy; he talked "of the ruffians who govern the Popish population of Ireland,' and made use of other phrases equally meek and amiable. BRUNSWICK CLUBS.---Notwithstanding the vapourings and threats of the " Cheshire Whigs," we are happy to perceive that the establishment of a Brunswick Club in this county is coe6dently talked of. That distinguish ed nobleman Lord KILMOREY is expected to take the lead in this patriotic work, and under his patronage we hope soon to see an assembly of " Brunswickers" worthy of this im portant county. • A Brunswick Club is also about to be established in Stockport; and indeed all over the country the spirit of the people appears to he roused in defence of our glorious Cor.stittition.—Macclesfield Courier. THE ARMY IN TIPPERARY.—We under stand the Military in Tipperary are kept constantly on the alert; for instance—a company or companies will be or dered to march from Clonmel, or any other town at day light in the morning, they proceeded to a village seven, eight, or ten miles distance, where they arrive at an early hour in the forenoon, rest there that day, and are billeted in the town at night, from whence they again start at an early hour in the morning for same other village, where they arrive that day, and proceed again next morning, thus keeping up a constant display of military force, and show ing the people that the Army is ready at a moment's no tice. No small detachmetits—that is, any number under a company, are now left in any town or village in the South.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. EAST INDIA SILK SALP.—This morning the East India Company's sale of Bengal and other Raw Silks commenced at the India House. The quantity of Company's goods declared for sale is 2100 bales, being less by SOO bales than the previous sales for the last twelve months. Besides these, there are also about 900 bales of Bengal, China, and Persian private trade silks, to be offered. It way rather expected that the subsequent decla ration would be no greater than the present, but the stock of silks in the Company's hands has recently been aug mented by tlo, arrival . of nearly 1000 bales. The at tendance of brokers, throwsters, and 'others connected with the trade, was very full this morning ; and an expectation was indulged that the last sale prices would not be main sta.iilene:p9ened with muc h an i mat i on , deprtment in almost all parts of the country. The a owing to th e p resen t d u ll state of the manufac turing and fine Bengals are realizing.from 16s. to 225. per lb., which is touch about the same as at last sale. Front the very numerous at tendance, and the energy evinced to buy, it is thought likely that the result of the sale (which will not close for some days, will be a further advance in prices. The carpet trade, which is carried on to a very great extent in Bannockburn and Stirling, is at present un usually brisk, and with the manufacture of tartans, gives employment to upwards of a thousand weavers. Common Scottish carpetings form the principal part of the manu facture, but there are large quantities of Brussels carpetings also produced.— Glasgow Chronicle. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

EX-PAItTE ELSEE, IN THE MATTER OF JOYNER. Further arguments were heard upon this petition, which is likely to occupy the Court during the en tire day. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GUILDHALL. PROCTER V. BINGLEY. In this case Sir J. SCARLETT stated that the plaintiff had been applied to by a man named Dib din for a quantity of spirits on credit, referring him to the defendant Bingley as to his solvency. Proc ter, in consequence, applied to Bingley, who told him that Dibdin was as safe as a bank note, and a large quantity of spirits were supplied to him amount ing to 1051. 6s. 101., in payment for which he receiv ed bills of exchange, which bills were afterwards dis honoured. The goods were delivered in January, 1828, and in May following Dibdin was declared a bankrupt; and it was then discovered that he had held a warrant of attorney from Dibdin for money lent to him in the previous June, prior to which Dibdin was proved to have sold the duplicates of some small articles to Bingley for trifling sums. Under these circumstances the plaintiff looked to Bingley for payment, and the Learned Counsel called Wm. Cowen, who deposed that the plaintiff is a wine-merchant; Ives present on the 11th of Decem ber, 1827, when a conversation happened between Bingley and plaintiff, on an application by Dibdin, for credit. Plaintiff asked Mr. Dibdin if he knew Bingley, and asked - him if he thought him a safe man. Dibdin replied, that he had known him a long time, and that he was both honest arid safe--he was as good as a bank note. David Williams was pre sent at that time. Witness received orders, in con sequence of this conversation, to send a puncheon of rum to Dibdin, which he did. The price was 76/. 11s. Bd. There was also sent a cask of brandy, on the 3d June, 1828. The brandy was 281. 15s. 411. Acceptances were given for each, and neither of them honoured. The bills were,here put in and read. The bank ruptcy was also proved, and the defendant's evi dence before the Commissioners read. lie had there sworn to the fact of receiving the warrant of attorney, and the-knowledge of Dibdin's insolvency, previously to having recommended him as a safe man, &c. Mr. GURNEY, for the defence, contended that the plaintiff could not recover the value of the last parcel of spirits, as he should have again inquired before he delivered it. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 105/. 6s. 10d: NEWBERRY V. HARRISON. Mr. F. KELLY opened the pleadings in this cause, which was undefended. Mr. SALFORD stated 03 the Jury that it was an action by the plaintiff, an attorney, at Reading, to recover from Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, late Nliag Pocock, the amount of a bill, 43/. Bs. 5d., for preparing a marriage settlement previout, to the marriage of Miss Pocock. This lady had written to Mr. Newberry, her family attorney, and instructed him to draw up a settlement. Before, however, the deed was executed, he found that she had married without waiting for its being finished. She had now paid 12/, into Court, but Mr. Newberry had merely charged -for costs out of pocket, and the Jury, he had no doubt, would return a verdict for the whole amount claimed.
