a few weeks before the fray, and not sufficiently trained to be of much service. " All the better classes, from being Constitution alists, are implicated ; so i that.. almost all the—lauded proprietors w ill be in jeopardy, and their estates of course forfeited. Mr. Carvalhal and two or three other of the greatest propriet•ors•have taken refuge on board the Alligator, where, I conceive, they are quite secure. " You bad very good reason for your ,anxiety, for I doubt not, if any resistance had been made to the entry of the Aliguelists, British subjects and their property would have been sacrificed, the troops, in such case, having been promised the sack of the town. We are lucidly all safe." As a consequence of the events above related, notice has this day been sent to. Lloyd's by the representatives of DOll Miguel' in this country, that the blockade of Madeira is raised'. The following is a copy of the notice : " Portuguese Conslllate Office, London, " Sept. 24, 1828. " Sir—l beg leave to inform you, that 1 have re ceived instructions from the Visconde de Santarem, Secretary for Foreign Affairs at Lisbon, to make it public in this country—' That the blockade which had been established at the port of Funchal; in the island of Madeira, is now raised !' which informa tion I .

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Constitutiongel.l CADIZ, SEPT. s.—The French troops are making prepirations which seem to indicate their approach ing departure. The artillery and military stores have been embarked.* The sick have been sent to the Hospital of St. Juan de Dios, preparatory to their removal on board the transports appointed to receive them. Effects and provisions not Wanted for the troops are put up to sale, and the army is ready to commence its march by land in three di visions. It is said that the first division will set out on the 11th of the present. month; the second on the 13th, and the third on the 15th. It is gene rally believed that the route will comprehend 41 marching and 11 resting days, thus allowing 52 days for the march from Andalusia to France. If no change of plan takes place, the army will .pass the Bidassoa in the beginning of. November. It appears that the first point on which our .Government in sisted was, that none of the troops should enter Madrid. SARAGOssA, SEPT. 13.--The affairs of this city begin to assume a serious aspect in consequence of the Government not listening to the counsels of pru dence given by the Captain-Gener9l. Some arrests have already taken place, and two or three gardeners whom the artifices of the: clergy had induced to pay the tithes have been assassinated. The troops ap-. pear very well disposed to obey the orders of the Government; but the two parties watch each other with mutual distrust, and the province looks for ward with terror to the issue of this contest. The first musket fired will be the signal for an open rup ture, and &din the present exasperated state of men's minds, the revolt will spread through the whole pro vince, and produce a general insurrection. Every morning we find incendiary placards posted up against the clergy. The Arehbishop,•Don Bernardo Francis, has not returned to the town since the first asonada (popular tumult). In a word, all the peaceable inhabitants dread the future; the more so, because it is suspected "that the question of the tithes is only a_pretext for the execution of a plan long since concerted for much greater purposes. The inhabitants of the city are ready at a moment's notice to support the efforts of those of the country, it the latter should be attacked by the troops." (From the Gazette ide France, dated Sept. '23.) SMYRNA, AUG. 23.—The war with Russia, though it may appear to many persons not very dangerous at this moment, because . Constantinople is safe for this year, seems to become serious in Asia, and General Paskewitsch has fulfilled perfectly the com mission with which he is charged, tO alarrr. the Porte. He seems to be engaged in preparing some vast plans, for the execution of which he has just received rein forcements to the amount of 2.5,000 men. BUCHAREST, SEPT. 2.—We had flattered our :‘eives, but in vain, that the Turks would quit Little Wallachia. Being informed that General Geismar had but a stnall force to oppose to theta, they again ad vanced on the 22d of August at the same time from Calafat and Czeinetz to within two hours' march of Crajova, and laid waste the whole country. The inhabitants took flight, and the town was almost deserted in a few moments. The reinforcements which had been sent from this town, though numerous, were sufficient to enable General Geismar to stop the Turks. We learn, in fact, that the Rus sian cavalry has succeeded in obliging them to re treat, but the country was entirely laid waste. It is thought the object of this diversion is to show to the Servians the fate which awaits them in case they Should revolt. CZERNOWITZ, SEPT. 2.--The reinforcements which were on the way to join General Geismar, and which are estimated at 18,000 men, must now have , joined him. Ilis corps will therefore-consist °f 24,000 or 2J,000 men, and with such a force he will be able, not only to keep the Pacha of Widdin ' check, b ut even to attac k hi m.

We hear that fresh troops have arrived at Bucharest, lr i i, and it seems that the which.have hitherto served only as a passa ge zoing to be occupied in an ,effectual trie arc manner.

PARIS, SEPT. 21.---The affairs of the East are now wearing an aspect which disconcerts all the speculations of the last three months, but which astonishes no one at the presentlnoment. When it 'rd; understood that Russia confided. in her innu merable legions for the success of her ambitious views, there was but one opinion as to her probable success : 'the general opinion was, that,the Empe ror% troops would encounter but fare difficulties , :V that, by bold•push, they would soon lie en- Thi l sT i under th e v er y walls of Constantinople. — pinion appeared the more just,.as it was ge nerally understood that the Ottoman Empire was the •iner victim of languor andt however, have now P Tucker in Actual events, ver v e dif ferent point of view.

I'HU-SDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2.), 185. Neither the French, the German, nor the Dutch Journal s ~furnish u s with an y further news from the th ea t re o f wai4 of a:d ec i s ive character. Varna, th All w e learn i s , t h at the - EMPEROR has em barked for e siege of which he is to superintcnd in person, or rather intends to cut short by an immediate attempt at storming. If lie succeed , he secures d safe outlet for hi s army at Shuntla , sh ould such be necessary —and if he do not succeed --why : le i then, h e must look.to the consequelme ,, . f 'Darks defe a t him at Varna, .. we hold his character cheap. He should either not have attempted Varna at all, or take it at whatever cost. In a matter of such - military • portance, the sacrifice of humanity, however great, is of very minor consideration. It is very .e well to engage our sympathies in domestic ealannti 6, where the affections naturally centre upon indi vidual objects—but in the feverish turmoil of war—the conflict of contending armies is a mere matter • of course—important and glorious in their results, onlv in proportion to the amount of human sacrifice which even the victor German Papers of the 18th instant, received this morning, say that the garrison of Varna had solicited permission to send a courier to Constantinople, acquainting the SULTAN with - its distress, and asking for fresh instructions, which the Russians are said to have granted. This seems rather an odd way to early on the war—when a fortress is hard pressed it seeks per - mission to send for reinforcements, in which the besiegers very good naturally acquiesce, probably that they may have longer sport of it We have heard of truces being granted for a certain number of days, at the expiration of which, if reinforce ments, did not arrive Asurrender should take place —but to ask to send - i ° er 'relief, the thing is pre posterous. I'k►e garrison sends to the SULTAN for fresh instructions, not how they may best defend the fortress, of which they must tie the best judges, but to acquaint him of their weak- less—and unless he send immediate re- .lief they must surrender—is not this stealing a march upon the besiegers and beating them with their own weapons ? Again, we say, the thing is preposterous, and wholly unworthy of belief: Such a plan ►night do in the days of chivalry, when magnanimity was another name for the roma►►tic—but with the RuSsians and Turks, extermination is the only principle fa►ni liar to the national hate of time one and the Tana-• ticism of the other. ' VIENNA, SEM'. 13. Royal Highnesses •the Princes William and Au gustus of Prussia arrived here on the 1 lth, in order to see the reviews at Traiskircheu. They were received in the most friendly manner by the Emperor, and afterwards visited the Archduchess Maria Louisa, and the other mem bers of the Imperial family. The Empress arrived to-day at Schotibrune fiuni Tegcruace. His Majesty, the Emptier, has given to Prince Kinsky the commission to go to Genoa to receive her Majesty, Queen Maria da Gloria, and to ac company her hither. The Prince will immediately set out frets Fragile for that purpose. It is understood that her Majesty travels to this city accompanied by her Brazilian ladies, fist which reason no ladies were appointed to receive her. Her Majesty will occupy here the apartments of the Duke of Reichstadt, who will inhabit the late residence of the Princess Kineky. Srri. 13.—Metalliptes, 9 3-piths. ; Bank Shares, 0714. ICRAJOVA, SEP'. I, (via ORSOVA.) At length we begin to breathe again. The Turks had advanced to Zuin, within half a league of this place. Terror beirkd "verY body, and all appeared to be lust, when the Russian cavalry succeeded in checking the Turks, and compellin g them to "retreat ; we are, therefore, a little mote easy. VIENNA, stet'. 12. ,Letters froni Odessa, of the 2d, say that Varna was closely invested by sea and land, and had been briskly bombarded for the last seven days. It was , t h ere f ore , h o p e d th a t the p l a ce would soon surrender. It is added, that the garrison having been aunntoned to surrender some days after the totnmencement of the bombardment, had indeed rejected all proposals, m but that, subsequently, it had asked permis 4ion to sea 4 ccurier to Constantinople to acquaint the sultan with itgdliftress; a`ndlo ask fresh instructions, which request had been complied with. 7RANIZIORT, SEPT. 18. The Courier de Srayrne, of the 9th and 16th August; which we have just received, contain' no news bf import ance, and with the exception of the communications from Constantinople, is chiefly filled with reasonings on the strength of the Turkish Armies, an 1 the resistance they are able to make to the Russians ; on the policy of Russia in this war, and on the conduct of the President of Greece, whom it accuses- of partiality to his relations and adherents. A new ordinance, by which every vessel sailing under Greek colours, however small, is to pay 20 pares per ton, in every port which it enters, has much increased the dis content of the seamen, which was already great. They complain especially that this burden is imposed en them at a moment when trade in Greece is wholly at a stand, and when by their voyages from one island to another they hardly gain enough to pay the taxes. The President, they say, requires money from them to pay those about him, and such as come to Greece now the danger is past. The men who fitted out privateers, who formerly cringed to the Pacha, and now are still more obsequious to the Pre sident, who have excited so many civil wars, have de voured so much money that came from abroad, and have squandered the English loans; all those people who de served to have been banished from the country when order was re-established, are now the most highly favoured, they are made Ministers of the Marine, Members of the conven tion of Government, &c. and for their sakes the people are burdened ‘4:1 4, 1 increasing taxes. - - - - - - A Honduras Paper of the 12th July has been received at the North and South American Cof fee-house, and contains a copy of the Treaty of Peace and Conciliation between the Governments of Guatemala and San Salvador, which consists of tvoenty articles, and is dated the 12th June, 1828. A postscript, however, to the above- mentioned paper, says, we stop the press to an nounce the arrival of a gentleman, who left Guatemala on the 30th of June, and who per. formed his journey in the astonishing short time of five days to the Gulf; from whence he pro ceeded to Omoa, and subsequently arrived here in five days more; who informs us that there was a rumour afloat, that since the ratifications of the treaty of peace, the troops of Guatemala having received a reinforcement, had made a dash on San Salvador, and carried the city. This latter information is nut believed, and no letters have been received which corroborate the circumstance. Brussels Papers of yesterday's date contain the following respecting the intended operations of the Greeks : BRUSSELS, SEPT. 23. Accounts from Smyrna, of the 20th of Angust, say the Expedition intended against Prevesa is ready, it consists of the new steam-boat, two Greek brigs, twe schooners, four gun-boats, and twenty large praams, each carrying one cannon ; this flotilla has SOO men on board, and will join that which was commanded by Capt. Hastings, and act in concert with Gen. Church, whose force now at Mitica is reduced to 400 men. Meantime Ypsilanti's corps of 2,500 men is to leave Megara for Lutraki, to land at Sa lona, march forward to the bottom of the Gulf of Prevesa, and then embark again to take the town and fort of Pre vesa. This, it seems, is the plan agreed upon with the Albanians, who compose the garrison. But it is now re ported that Patras being in the hands of the revolted Alba nians, the President has judged it more advantageous to try to get possession of that place than of remote and less im portant positions, and that consequently the plan has been altered, and that Ypsilanti has been ordered to march towards Vostizza to be ready to take possession of Patras, if it can be obtained by money or promises from the re volters who now occupy it.

CITY, TwELPs o' Clocr The complaints of the want of business by the Brokers in the Stock market never were so general as at present, and all the cry is that speculation for the present is entirely at an end, and proceeding daily from bad to worse. Consols opened at 884 1, became 881, sellers, and at present this is the price ; the Commissioners gave 881. India Bonds, 94 6 ; Exchequer Bills 76 7 pm. If possible the Foreign Funds are still worse off for business, the prices, however, remain firm ; Bra zilian, 64i, buyers; Buenos Ayres, 46 7; Fortu gueie, 56 4; Russian, 941 ; and Mexican, 40. In Shares the principal feature has been a marked improvement in the premium on the projected National Brazil Mining Shares, which seem to have attracted the favourable notice of speculators, and have reached 31 pm. per share. The demand some time since for the coupons of the Russian Bonds appears, by the new contract for a loan, to have been one of the means employed to lull suspicion, and to give a confidence to the holders, who, by the system of receiving a premium upon the dividend, held the paper securities of the Autocrat; whilst his monied friends, in the height of this repose, have created a loan by which the liberal public and Bond-holders will and may safely depend upon their dividends being duly paid. So long as they are content .to give monthly 10 or 20 per cent. payment, they may rest assured his Imperial Ma jesty will not grudge them now and then 24 per cent. until more capital is wanted, and then, " oh yes, and then !"

It is added, that after the capture of that place the Em- peror intends closing the campaign, and returning to St. Petersburgh ; his army will take up itsiposition on the banks of the Danube, at the principal passes to those provinces which they have evacuated, and in such strong holds as have yielded to their power. These reports arc repeated in most of the German Papers, which appear to have received them through various channels ; they wear a pretty authentic cha racter, and accord with the advanced period of the season; the-time approaches when the coasts of the Black Sea will no longer be navigable, and before long the pass of the Balkan, which at present pro tects an army of more than 100,000 men, will have for their protection those torrents and snow storms which in winter render the defiles of those moun tains almost inaccessible to the movements of an army. It is needless to remark on the importance of this news, if it should be confirmed. If it is true that Nicholas no longer intends pursuing his present ope rations, it is more than likely that the Porte has es caped from the dangers which tliteatened it. One of two things must be true—either Russia is appre hensive of consequences, in which case European ,illiptalacy will intercede with the pacific intentions of the Emperor; or she has come to this pause to 4alse breath—she is desirous of re-assembling her troops to re2ermence the strife with greater , vigour. But: next *fear the war will be ten times. more in favour of the Turks. If, taken by surprise, they have acquitted themselves thus creditably, what may not be expected after six months' preparation ?, The European Powers will also be differently situated. From being mere spectators at present, they will then become actors on the - scene, and we shall not be surprised if they finally become the firm supporters of Turkey. Other consequences may also be expected.- Our situation in the Mores will become more complicated than ever, if the Porte be delivered from the.Rusa sians ; and from what we know of the character er the Sultan Mahmoud, can it be doubted that he hasten to take the advantage of his situation ? He will hurry his troops from the Russian frontier to the Grecian scene of action, and what sacrifice can be made to prevent the irruption of 40,000 barbarilbs in the Peloponnesus, where there are but 16,000 soldiers to withstand them ? The mere possibility of such a danger ought tete sufficient to awaken the concern and vigilance Sf the- French Government. Its duty requires it to fore run such events as may happen—to foresee all— and to adopt such measures as may tend to support the national dignity, at the same time that proper care is taken of the preservation of the public money. and of the blood of our soldiers.

At the outset of the campaign we were told that up wards of three hundred thousand men were upon the frontiers of Turkey, ready to pass the Pruth, and, latterly, if the accounts may be depended on, only 80,000 have passed the Danube—a number barely sufficient to blockade Shumla—certainly not strong enough to invest it. The EMPEROR, or his Generals, or perhaps both, were perplexed in adopting any one determinate line of operations, but pushed forward into the enemy's territory to try his pulse, and then fashion the character of the. campaign by the knowledge acquired. In doing this there was Ho - great error, provided they were prepared with sufficient means to meet any exigency that might arise. That this was not the case we have abundant proof 14 their delaying the attack of Shumla, and being compelled to besiege Varna in due fond. If their plan had originally been to besiege and capture all the fortresses on the Danube, and along their line" of invasion, they should have provided the necessary number of. troops, not only to besiege :the fortresses with effect, - Ing to !overawe the surrounding .country in the vicinity of each, without which the siege would be rendered abortive. Again, if the Russians intended to make a dash by pushing on J4ardless of the fOrtresseS, they should have cjilected an army sufficiently strong for that pur pace, while a powerful' reserve was collected to keep the fortresses nearest the line of ope rations in check, and secure the retreat of the invading -form, should such be deemed neces sary. But in neither of these cases, judging by what we have yet heard, have the Russians been successful. Their operations seem to be 4 - carried on, on a scale too enlarged for their im mediate resources—but the difficulties which have hithertolleset their path, may be dissipated by the timely arrival of 'reinforcements. That their journey across the Balkan must be sus- - pended for this season, seems too probable, by the progress they have hitherto made, and by the nature of the country which they would have to traverse, as well as by the unlooked-for resistance which the Turks oppose to their progress. How ever, if the EMPEROR can take Shumla or Varna this campaign, he will have achieved a triumph greater than all his predecessors; and that he can do it there is no question, provided he bring the requi , site forces to bear. Varna and Shumla once in his possession, we have no dOubt that he would find the passage of the Balkan, even in winter, not so inaccessible as travellers represent it. The elements and the Turks might both ride restive, but he would at least have the whip hand of them by the possession of these for tresses, which form the coast and land key to Adrianople-4f not to the capital itself.

The information she brings is important; the fol lowing are extracts By the Frolic packet, which has arrived from Cartha gena, we learn that the dandy fever, or scarlatina, was raging with great violence in that place. No political news had been received from the interior since our last advices from Carthagena : the mail from Bogota was, however, mo mently looked fur. A fire bad taken place at the village of Cruixus, and several houses had been burnt, and a quan tity of merchandize consumed. " At the Board of Works the plans for building a new house for the Naval Commander.in-Chief ou this station were laid before the Board and approved, and the Clerk of the Board had been directed to advertise for tenders for completing the womb. A sum of 25,000/. has been appropriated for this purpose. This was much wanted, as the present residence of Admiral Fleming is in every respect ineligible, and to this circumstance the frequent absence of the Admiral may be atreibuted. By a passenger in H.M.S. Espiegle, lrom the Havannab, we learn that ILNI.S.

Captain Cranford had given the vessel and slaves iu charge to the Mixed Commission at the Havannah.— By the same conveyance see learn that the Spanish squa d,„,,, under Commodore Laborde, had sailed, but its de stination was unknown, though it was rumoured at the Havanna!' that an attempt would be mado to invade Mexico. It consisted of two 74 gun-ship, two heavy frigates, three brigi, one brigantine, and one schooner. The French frigate Jean (1' Arc and a corvette •had sailad on a cruise from the Havannah.

Sir JAMES SIIAW (who presided for the M r d Mayor) informed the Court that a letter had be ell received from Mr. Spode, the pa r t ner o f M r .

The letter- Iv as accompanied by the certificate of the medical ge l ' . tleman who attends Mr. Copeland. • he The letter and certificate having been read by t- Town Clerk, Mr. Deputy ROUTH moved that the standing e • i i der of 1748 should b e sus p en d e d, a nd t h a t 3 11 ,, should b e p asse d, p os tp on i ng t h e d ay o f s weelf? in the Sheriffs till the 18th October. H e did tin! with great reluctance on one account, viz, the grea t press of impo r t ant b us i ness b e f ore t h e Court, Avitca he would be extremely sorry should be delayed; "a yet he thought, after the expence that Mr. Copele e d had been put to, and his desire to fill the office, 8 1 as it appeared he would, in all probability, be stt r " . to deafly recovered in a short time t o ena bl e him so do, the Court would grant the request. Mr. SAMUEL DixoN thought that this was O r novel application, and wished to be informed if ther e were not precedents ? The Town Clerk was not aware of any precede°. In the c ase of Si r Th omas B e ll an d Alderor Thorp, when a similar applic a ti on *as made on t he part of Sir Thomas, it was held absolutely necessary for the Sheriffs to be sworn in on the 28th Sept. The RECORDER thought the Court had no pn w h er t to grant the application, and even if it had, it log be .attended with the most-dangerous consequences:. If the present Sheriffs were to hold over after t e r day appointed by the Chambe r th e y wou ld ren° e d themselves liable to innumerable actions at law, en. although perhaps, under the peculiar circumainn ve ' of.the case, they.might get verdicts in their itivouri yet the anxiety attending them—to say nothing,: the costs--would' be a sufficient . reason to riuce the Court not to grant the present apPli es :, tion. There was also another import an t ras e ; for not granting it. The Report o f th e prisone r under sentence of death 'nnist be made to his jesty before the 18th of October, Which could not ' e the case if it was granted . ; or if it was d one it mig ht lead to moat difficult. and serious legal questi Ps '. He therefore thought a new Sheriff ought to'be .a .P: pointed, and Mr. t opeland at a future o pportunr% might fill this high o ffi ce.
