Pensylvania, with. 1,200,000 inhab.;tants, had 110 papers in 1823, of which 14 or 15 were published daily ! These facts speak for themselves., . I :think they fully warrant the conclusion, that in the most thickly settled .parts - of'the United States, which alone afford proper materials for cotnpari sdn, the number of :News'Papers its circulation amidst any given number of inhabitant; is eight or ten times as great as in Britain. •. What, I ask, produces the great disparity be tween us and the Americans in this description ofperiodicals? . They are men of our race • and language, who have borrowed all their. modes of thinking and acting from us, and- inter (ilia the form, arrangement, and style of their journals:' What can make so great a difference but the comparative cheapness of their papers, and the abundance of their advertisements ? I have no doubt that if we were placed upon a level with them in these two circumstances, the demand for papers would increase in this country six or eight fold ; and every approach we make to this state of things will produce a proportional change. Were the charge for advertising greatly diminished, many more person s w o uld f ee l themselves called on by their interest to read newspapers, and were the price of the paper reduced to 5d., as in Ireland, it would be within time reach of a more numerous class. We must remember, too, that every additional sheet sold pays the duty on paper ; and hence, to make halt' the present stamp duty yield the same sum as now paid, it is not necessary to add 100 per cent. to the circulation. Taking in the paper duty, 87 per cent. would suffice ; and this I have no doubt the alteration proposed would produce. 1 shall speak of advertising in my next letter and I shall then bring forward some facts, which, ill am not mistaken, will astonish the. trading classes of this country.

The Pachas of Bitoglia, Pristina,• and Sahinichi,—the Beys- of Uskup, Yenidge, Seres, &c., have already sent con siderable bodies of troops to Thessaly and Livadia ; and according to all appearance, the Greeks, who have risen in those districts, -will not find safety_ex eept in the Morel', under the •protection of your troops if they can get there.

The faults of the Vizier Abditraman bad excited .discontent and divisions, and forgot that the Bosniaks will be masters at home; but the Porte has settled every thing, and all now goes on The Russian armies have something else to, do than to assist the Servians, and the most that can be DM said is, that - they have riot..

Pants, OCT. I.—A French vessel has arrived at Toulon, bringing news from NaVarill of the 10th of September. At that time 6,000 Egyptians were already embarked ; the arrival of transports was ex• petted to embark the remainder of Ibrahim's army. (From the Journal des Debuts.)

There were in the hospital only 36 patients. The General-in-Chief had on the 6th reviewed all the troops in camp at Petalidi. Their appearance was quite supe r b ; and, according to the remark of General Maison, one would have thought on seeing them that he was present at a review on the Champ de Mars.

LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1828. The French Papeis possess no additional news from the Russian or Turkish armies. The ar rival of the Emperor NICHOLAS at Varna had not been known at any of those places from which news is usually received. But a short time must supply this information, as well as the knowledge of events consequent upon a move ment of such promise. That the Russians will attempt the capture of Varna by storm soon after the arrival of the EMPEROR, may be relied on if they consult their own honour as well as safety. That important fortress once in their hands, would give a new character to the war in more ways than one. It would infuse fresh courage into the army generally, besides setting some 30,000 or 40,000 men at the disposal of the EMPEROR for prosecuting the siege of Shumla—which also might be assailed with more chalice of success limn the renewed animation of the soldiery. But all this depends upon the success of his efforts against Varna. If he has troops enough, his success is certain—if he has not, he cannot hope to conquer. Judging from the slow progress of the cam paign, we arc led to think that the Russians have set out with a palpable exaggeration of their numerical strength. We were told over and over'again, that the armies on the frontiers of Turkey, ready to cross the Pruth, exceeded three hundred thousand men—and taking them at this number, we were led to believe that suc cess ►rust not only be certain, but rapid. Subsequent accounts, however, reduce their number to half their boasted strength,—and events bear out that calculation ; for it is impos sible but the Russians must have crossed the Balkan before this, if their army consisted of three hundred thousand veterans, besides the reserves forming in their rear. But the Russians have deceived the world in the outset of their proceedings— and, as a just consequence, now find that they deceived themselves. However, they must take Varna at whatever cost, or forfeit all claim to military enterprise. They now begin to perceive that their plan of campaign was 11 1-digested and worse executed. With an army lof about 150,000 men they invaded Turkey, ex-- tendin g their line of operations for upwards of 400 miles alon g the Danube—and besieging fortresses of such numb„ and strength, as would fully employ the whole army of invAsiOn to reduce them. This ambitious extension of their forces se rved only to expose their weakness, without ena bli n g them to capture any fortress of conse quence except Brailow, which lay in the imme diate line of march, and could not be safely left unmasked if not u nsubdue d. Had the Russians possessed an army of 300,000 men, as they stated, at the mome nt of invasio n , they might have ventured to besiege the fortresses, while a sufficiently disposable force proceeded directly a g ainst Shumla and Varna —or even attem pted to mass the Balkan, which movement, by its rapi dity, would have paralysed the Turks, and led to a successful termination of the campaign. Or, again, as their strength was confessedly so small, they should have proceeded boldly, .and at once, with their main force against Shumla, ;laving their right flank protected by a disposable force, while their left was secured by the sea,— and'having mastered the main difficulty of ,the campaign, the minor ones would fall as a matter of course. But they have perceived their error : let us wait to see how they will extricate them selves out of their dilemma Their reinforce ments have joined or are about to join—and they now feel that something must be done, and 'that speedily. - We understand that the young Queen of PORTUGAL ,will. arrive at Grillon's Hotel, on Monday, at two o'clock. At one o'clock the Portuguese and trazilian Embassies will b e i n readiness to receive her MAJESTY. It is un derstood that Lord LUCA N'S house, near Staines, has been taken as a residence for her MAJE S TY and suite. Accounts from Madrid of the 21st Septem ber state, that at Seville great alarm prevailed in consequence of having learnt officially that the fever was on board of some ships at anchor in the Bay of Cadiz. The Authorities, to prevent the discontent of the people, caused several French merchant ships, which had arrived from Martinique, to put to sea immediately, and all the disposable troops which were at Seville set off for Moguen, to form a cordon sanitaire. A quarantine has been established for all ships coming from Cadiz and Gibraltar, who wish to enter the Guadalquiver. The steam-boats from Seville to Cadiz have also ceased going alto gether. As stated in our paper of yesterday, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has issued a Proclamation for the suppression of such assemblages of per sons as have lately taken place in Ireland. These assemblages are stated to have taken place in certain counties, and are termed, " Meetings of large numbers of his Majesty's subjects, consist ing of persons, both on foot and on horseback, coming together from various and distant parts and places, acting in concert, and under the com mand of Leaders, and assuming the appearance of Military Array and Discipline, or exhibiting other marks' and symbols of illegal concert and union, to the great danger of the public peace, and to the well-founded terror and dread of his Majesty's peaceable and well-disposed subjects." And his Excellency says further, that Govern ment have received information,• that in other parts certain persons have been passing through the country, promoting and inciting such assem blages of large bodies of the people for no pur pose known to the law; but no particular parties are specified, so that the Proclamation applies equally to the Protestants as well as Catho lics. This, we think, is wise, as •it exhi bits no predilection for either party, but deals out the law equally to both. The Catholics will thereby see that the Proclamation of his Ex cellency is not exclusive, but meant for all whom it may concern. The more violent portion of the Protestants expected that Martial Law— that only effective remedy in their estimation— would be proclaimed, and that a free licence to butcher and destroy -would be given to the • bands of intolerance—but, thank Heaven, &yam disappointed in their evil wishes. The Catholics may have acted imprudently in making such de tnoustrations of public feeling, but it was the burning intensity of their wrongs that drew them together to 'sympathise over their national degra dation, and in - such moments it is not wonderful that partial ebullitions of feeling should take place in a temperament of mind more alive to angry recollections than dispassionate reasoning. But the LORD LIEUTENANT has issued his Proclamation that such meetings are illegal—and the Catholics will obey him ; in fact, they have an ticipated his Excellency's warning by their discon tinuance of the same, and in so doing, have de prived those who wished for blood and civil war of an opportunity to gratify their unholy passions. The Proclamation is couched in temperate and conciliatory language, well adapted for promoting the ends it has in view—the peace arid. well being of Ireland. Let us hope that this is only the harbinger of that great measure—which can alone ensure the tranquillity of Ireland —and the prosperity of the Empire—Catholic Emancipation—a measure which to be just, we cannot refuse-4o be safe, we cannot delay. Quebec Papers of the 3d ult. and Montreal of the Ist, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house.

A PROCLAMATION, BY THE LORD LIEUTENANT-GENEJIAL AND GENERAL GOVERNOR OF IRELAND. _ .• :ANOLESE,A. Whereas in certain counties in this part of the United Kingdom, meetings of Inge numbers of his Majesty's subjects have ben lately held, consisting of persons both on foot and an horseback, coming together from various and distant parts and places, acting in concert, and under the command of leaders, and assuming the appearance of military array and discipline, or exhibiting other marks and symbols of illegal concert and union, to the great danger of the puhlie.peace, and the well-founded tenor and dread of his Majesty's peaceable and well-disposed subjects. And whereas, we have received information that in . other parts certain persons have been passing through the country, promoting and exciting the as• semblage of large bodies of people for no purpose known to the law, to the great terror of his Majesty's subjectS, and the endangering of the public peace and safety. And whereas the meeting and assembling together in such numbers and in such manner as aforesaid, and thereby occasioning such dread and terror,' and endangering the public peace, is a mani fest offence and an open breach of the law, and such unlawful assemblies ought, therefore, to be suppressed and put down. And, whereas, many well-affected, but unwary, persons may be seduced by divers specious pretences given out for holding of such assemblies, and in ig norance of the law, to frequent the same. We, therefore, the Lord Lieutenant-General and General Governor of Ireland; being resolved to suppress and put down such illegal meetings, and to prevent the recurrence thereof, have thought fit to issue this Proclamation, solemnly and strictly warning all his Majesty's liege subjects from henceforth to discon tinue the holding or attending any such meetings or assemblies as aforesaid, and do charge and earnestly exhort them, to the utmost of their power, to dis continue all meetings and assemblies of a similar na ture, and thereby to prevent the danger and mis chief consequent on the same; and, being deter , mined and resolved strictly to enforce the law and the penalties thereof against persons offending in the premises, do charge and command all Sheriffs, Mayors, Justices of the Peace, and all other Magis trates, Officers, whom it may concern, to be aiding and assisting in the execution of the law, in prevent ing such meeting and assemblies from being held, and in the effectual dispersion and suppression-of the same, and in the detection and prosecution of those who, after this notice, shall offend in the respects aforesaid. Given at his Majesty's Castle of Dublin, this Ist day of October, 1828. By his Excellency's command, Dublin, Oct. 2. F. LEVISON GOWER. CORN AND BULLION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—At the present period, when events are deter mined more by the prices of Corn and Bullion, and when the minds of men are regulated by the price of Conso's, I am disposed to give you a little information upon these subjects,-,not for the purpose of stock-jobbing, but to prevent, if possible, the public from being deluded by those men who create an alarm, to produce a panic in the money market, &c., to their profitable advantage. Now, Sir, yesterday we hear of the advance of Corn ; again the public begin to bewail the rise in bread ; things look black, and every thing forebodes a bad winter. Admit all these ex pectancies to disturb a man residing a few miles from the metropolis, unconnected with speculations of the day, to hint I would give one hint—that many of these difficulties are produced by the conduct of certain individuals, who, by an operation upon the Corn market, where, by pur chasing a few quarters of wheat at a high price (and the higher price they give the better), produce a fall in Con sols; so that, by risking a few pounds upon the Corn Exchange, they realize a few hundreds upon the Stock Exchange. At the present moment I am aware of the existence of such an operation. Now as to Gold. We are repeatedly told that Bullion bears a 'profit by being exported to Harnburgh, and that sovereigns will leave the country, and money become scarce. To these croakers pay no attention. For they do not, in their calculations, give the expenses of export, which neutralize the profit ; nor do they tell us " how the gold-is paid for :" is it in gold or paper? by imports certainly not. The Customs' List wilt prove this.— Nor can it be for corn that gold goes out; for front themselves I find that there is no corn on the Con tinent. Then do we give the gold away? If gold is wanted really, the Bank will, at the present mo ment, sell the speculators the metal in bars at 3/. 17s. 9d. per oz., and to any amount, and realise upon this sale 3d. per oz. ; and we all know bars are better conveyed than sovereigns. As regards the affairs in the East, suppose it should turn out that the possession of Greece by the French army, and the entire evacuation of the Morea by the sailing of Ibrahim and his hordes, and they sailed on the 9th of September, should be considered as the complete fulfilment of the Treaty of 6th July (and I think it really completes the independence of Greece) has not the Emperor of Russia a right to say " I have been one-handed fighting for Grecian independence, with my allies, and conquered, and my other hand has fought the Treaty of Akermann ; and having completed my compact with England and France, I now demand a neutrality, whilst I work my own cause against Constantinople ?" Why should the blockade of the Dardanelles be objected to? We are lookers on to advantage ; for, whilst our magnanimous allies are wasting their strength, financially and physically, we husband our resources, our men, our money; our sinews at rest gain strength, and so we obtain a negative victory over those who we are taught to believe would triumph over our weakness ! Oh ! the inventive faculties of man--to what an extent are they exerted to produce or bring, to use a very common though expressive proverb— " Grist to the mill." Ireland!—another bug-bear of the day—bad as it may be, is not so bad as they would make it; nor, indeed, would it be even as it is if not for the secret underhanded sycophancy and abominable intrigues of those persons who should exercise a nobler system of example and advice. I would have written mere fully and explicit upon these subjects but I have not time, nor do I think it is worth while, for I am quite sure a few days only are required to restore that confidence which alone works all things to gether for good. The Duke of WELLINGTON left town yes terday for the seat of the' Earl of WESTMORELAND, at Ap thorpe, Northa►nptonshire, where his Grace is expected to spend a few days with his Lordship. A party of Noble men and Gentlemen are expected at his Lordship's resi dence, in order to have a few days' shooting. The Russian Ambassador had an interview with the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Lord ELLENBOROUGII transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD has left town for Norfolk, on a shooting excursion.

The Noble Host has invited a distinguished party to.meet his Royal Highness; among whom are Colonel BLAIR and the Field Officers of the Regiment ; and it is expected that his Royal Highness will spend several days at the Hall, and have the freedom of the city presented to him. It is also expected that he will attend the Whig dinner next week. - Lord ELDON, Qn the elevation to the highest rank in the Peerage of the present head, or representative, of the House of Temple and Chandos, observed, that there had already been a SHEFFIELD Duke of BUCKINGHA3I, and now they had got a Brummagem Duke of Buckint ham.---Leeds Intelligencer.—An old joke rather cruelly revived by a paper in the interest of Lord CHANDOS. Sir JOHN DOYLE, who arrived at Falmouth on Friday, from Lisbon, by the Stanmer packet, dined here with Admiral Earl NOKTHESK on Tuesday, and left shortly afterwards for London. His suite arrived here yesterday by the Bristol steamer. They report that the city is tranquil, but any person who presumed to speak in. favour of the young QUEEN, or the Constitution, was sure to be incarcerated, and, in c onsequence, the prisons were quite full. We understand that the beautiful horse pre sented to Don 1111cuat by our KING has been poisoned, by order of the .old QUEEN, and ordered by her to be cut up in quarters, to annoy her son, with whom a dreadful rupture appears certainly to have taken place.

The English market opened this morning with an improved appearance; the Jobbers were anxious to purchase back some of their stock, but fear operated' two ways upon their minds, it prevented their buy ing, as an open purchase would have spoiled their market, and to have attempted a bang would have risked themselves to the chance of selling more stock than they chose to part with; this temper produced a temporary stagnation, until the tribes of Israel opened the campaign by purchasing a-few thousands, which improved the character of the market, and several buyers strengthened it. Upon the news, how ever, of two expresses having arrived from France the bustle of the room died away, and business will re main at a stand until the contents - of the despatches make their appearance, or some effective measures are acted upon by the knowing possessors of these morceaux. The price of Consols at opening was 86i 1, went buyers at WI, and continued so ; the present quotations are 864 s for account, and 86 7 for next account. India Bonds are 87 9 ; Ex chequer Bills, 75 6 pm. In the Foreign Funds the European securities are a shade better; a kind of fear is expressed by the holders of Colombian Bonds, that the struggle be tween the Colombians and Peruvians may end in the discomfiture and derangement of both States, consequently the Bonds of both are seriously effected, and many think they will, ere long, asso ciate themselves in rank with those of the faithful Ferdinand of Spain. Colombian. Bonds have fallen from 211 2 to 201 1; Peruvian to 20; Brazilian are 624 3; Portuguese, 5Gi ; and Russian, 921 In Shares there is nothing doing of importance. Troops are on their way to Ireland; the 21st Regi ment of Foot received orders yesterday morning to leave Bath, where they have been staying for some time, they were ordered to march at 12 o'clock at night for Bristol, on their route to Waterford.

TWO O'CLOCK. Consols after reaching 86i buyers, and looking strong, gave way, and have since been done for Tuesday at 86i; the present price is 86i for account. The Captain of a vessel from the Mediterranean, who has had a quick passage, reports that he -saw the Russian fleet off Tangiers, and that during the night, which was very tempestuous, be heard heavy firing: and from the situation they were in, and this circumstance, he thinks it likely some of the fleet were on shore.
