FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France.) ODE:is A, AUG. 9.—On the 2d the Emperor Marched from before Shuml a , with the regiment cs horse chasseurs that bears his name, 12 pieces 01 Cossack artillery, two squadrons of the guard, and two battalions of the 19th foet chasseurs, His Majesty took the road of Jenibazar, and en camped the same evening before Coslandgi. On the 3d, the troops of which his escort was composed had a day of rest. On the 4th, his Majesty Continued his march towards Varna, and slept in a redoubt constructed at a short distance from the village of Derbentkieni. On his arrival, the Emperor received intelligence of • an important advantage just gained by the Aide-de- Camp General Prince Menzikow (recently charged with the siege of Varna) over the ,garrison of that place. Several Turkish detachments had succeeded in penetrating it by the Bourgas road, which the Aide de-Camp General Count de Suchtelen had not been able to intercept, as it was separated from the posi tion which he occupied by the great lake of Thvina, whose waters almost touch the south-west part of the fortifications of Varna. A corps of regular troops arrived by land from Constantinople, under the corn =rid, it was said, of the Capitan Pacha, had. also been observed. With the aid of these 'reinforce ments, the garrison had become too n umerous to allow Lieutenant-G enera l O uc h a k o ff, who succeeded Count Suchtelen, to continue the blockade of the fortress. •He therefore wisely contented himself with observing it at a certain distance, after an ac t.'" in which the Turks were repulsed with loss. Meanwhilt We also reinforced the corps befoie Vane,; bat when Prince Menzikow assumed the ersinmarid, the enemy occupied, at four wersts in advance of the town, and with the double view of defending its approaches and preventing the lauding of our troops returning from the siege of Anapa, a chain of wooded heights which extended to the sea, and which he had garnished with artillery, cavalry, anti sharp-shooters. Not withstanding the adsan tages which this position gave the Tuiks, Prince Menzikow resolved to attack them. By a skilful snanceuvre, he turned their left on the 3d, and whilst his artillery, some lancers of the Boug, and a battalion of infantry, attacked them in front, another battalion fell upon their rear. The effect of this movement was such, that the Turks threw down their cannons from the summit of the heights to which they had been conveyed, and precipitately took flight, abandoning their tents, a 'standard, the body of their Commander, who had just expired, and an ancient Greek convent, the pos session of which was indispensably necessary to enable us to land . the troops,on beard the fleet. This essential point, and all the heights which the enemy had disputed with us, were in the power of Prince illenzikow, when the Emperor . reached his bivrea ac on the morning of the 4th.• After having observed the position, the fortifications, and the bay Of Varna, issued orders for commencing the works of the siege, left with Prince Menzikow the detach ment by whom he had been escorted, and inspected the regiments landed the day before; the Emperor reached the sea-shore by a long and difficult defile which leads from the Convent amidst the heights to the sea. There he embarked on board a fire-vessel which took him to the Paris, Admiral Greig's ship, where his Majesty condescended to accept •of a dinner. The fleet, consisting of upwards of 20 sail, of which eight were of the line, five frigates, and three bomb vessels, already blockaded the_ port of Varna. Highly pleased with the state of the vessels, the condition of the crews, and the extreme rapi dity with which all the Admiral'i signals - were given, and the movements which they indiCated executed in his presence, the, - Emperor quitted the Paris in the afternoon,. to -go on- board the Flora frigate; which was to convey him to Odessa. About-seven paw. the Flora unfurlect her sails amidst the , firing of all the other vessel's; "which saluted the Imperial flag; and yesterday, 8; at two part. after a for tunate voyage, his Majesty cast - anchor before the villa occupied by the Empress. The official report from before Shumla; dated August the 7th, says— " According to the accounts of prisoners and de serters, the action of the lst cost the Turks nearly ‘')00 men, in killed and wounded. " During the night from the -Ist to the 2d, - we constructed redoubts on the key of the position which we had carried during the day. " In the morning of the 2d, both our wings ap proached the intrenchtnents of Shumla without the least opposition. • " We continued the same movement on every point during the 4th, sth, and 6th, and even this day. Every night we construct fresh redoubts, which approach the Turkish entrenchments closer and closer, and are raised within reach of their guns. Yet no sortie has been made against us, and we have not even been disturbed. " When we couipare this torpor with the vivacity and perseverance with which the Ottomans disputed every inch of ground in the neighbourhood of Shuntla, in preceding campaigns, we no longer re cognize their former character, nor their method of lighting." (From the Gazette de France, Sept. 2.) . Pitts, SEPT. I.—The Courrier Francais, in an article published the day before yesterday, says, that the German Journals cannot have news from the theatre of war, except by the -Russian bulletins, and that at Vienna letters from Turkey can be bad only by the mail from Bucharest. Now, indepen dently of this mail from Bucharest, we must state, that Vienna communicates with Turkey by way of Orsova (or Orchova), in the Bannat of Temeswar, by Brod, in Sclavonia, byl( 9 ,m nitza, in Croatia, and that in all those places therC'are post-offiCes, la zarettos, &c. pasi over Semlin, which the courier ought to be acquainted with, and the nume rous points of communication bet seen Dal mat i a and the Ottoman States, by which news may iip ee d4 arrive at Trieste. This explanation appeared to i ts to be necessary before we- gave the translation of the following extracts from a private letter which has been communicated to us :--- , " 01150 VA, Avo. 12.--Several merchants per forming quarantine, who have arrived from , Seres, inform us that the levies - of troops are proceeding with great activity in Macedonia and the other pro vinces through which they have passed, and that notwithstanding these levies, with the exception of ittOse of Pioneers, the Rajas are not molested. The Turks are fortifying Sophia, Nis.9, arid all the towns and defiles in that direction, and they rppear .to be resolved to defend their territory inch by inchi as well as their positions; - which they fortify and fur nish with provi s i ons , Confining . themselves (wisely I think) to 'a war of skirmishes, as they are not able to meet the Russians in a pitched battle. .I think that the Russians ought to have taken- advantage of th e first confusioreand the, first. surprise; and: that they have depended too Auch.on - the -apathy'olthe Turks, who, besides, cou l d not persuadetbemselVeS t i l l t h e last moment that, the,guropeou Powers would suffer them to be,swallowed up b y the Mus covite giant; but they have,' as you know, at,tl4 bottom a great deal of energy, naliimal. pride, and patriotism, which will support,: them) even though extinguish e d religious fanaticism should be entirel)i amongst them. " The Servians, our neighbours, are very san guine, and yet they are not destitute of bravery,a nt i zeal for the faith. But the Prince will .not run any , risk, and follows in this respect the u ise councils of our august Court; besides, the nation remembers its last insurrection, and will not,begin again to runt it. self for the interest of others. The Bosniaks would not wish any better than to have a : pretext to enter Sierra and lay waste the country. They say it is to watch and check their neighbours, that they have not yet sent-any troops out of their province, where they are resolved to defend themselves, and this is a great loss to the Sublime Porte, for the Bosnians alone are able to raise a brave and numerous army. " The last accounts we have received horn Con- stantinople state, that order prevails there notwith standing the continual arrivals from Asia Minor, the great preparations for defence upon the Bospho rus, and the daily enrolment of troops by virtue of the Haiti Seherif. All - this does honour to the Sul tan, whose firmness is not to be shaken, and who has a hundred times more authority than his prede cessors.' ~Mr. M. who came post with a Tartar of the Legation, says there are many foreign engineers and artillerymen in the service of the Porte, and that they are fortifying the principal passages of the Bal kan, but he does not think that the Russians will pass it beftne the winter, and until they have made thernselves masters of Shurnla, which contains a whole army, of' Silistria, &c.. " They might, indeed, by taking possessi on o f Varna, make their troops advance on that side, and march along the coast to arrive at Constantinople; but there are many difficulties, and those which may he added to them have not been forgotten : the roads are impassable in many places, and in many Others a communication between the Russian army and the fleet would be impossible. There are, perhaps, as many dangers as by the ordinary road by way of Ad rianople, and a great force would be required to secure the rear, the communications, and the convoys. Heaven grant that all this may ead well, and that this affair of the Greeks may not cause more Euro pean blood to flow." FRENCH FUNDS. —PA Ms, Sari.

THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1828, We learn, on good authority, that his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE has defini tively resigned his office of LORD HIGH AD- M IRAL, and that the performance of his import. ant functions at the Admiralty will not be con tinued beyond the week. The French Papers contain no authentic news from the seat of war, but a -great dea; of speculation as to the result—and much more as to the enthusiasm of the Turks, both in Constantinople and throughout the pro vinces in the cause which seems to be one of life and death to the . Ottoman. Power in Europe. An article front Orsova says that the Levies were proceeding withthe greatest alacrity, but there is much reason to .doubt .the correct ness of this report. The Grand ViztEß..was to have left Constantinople for the camp at. Adria nople on the 13th of August, after which it was expected" that the standard of the Prophet would be displayed from the Seraglio. This may prove correct, but we have been amused with similar stories for the last two months at least. It is said that Austria and Eng land -are endeavouring to bring round a peace. Their success - must entirely depend upon the means of Russia to carry on . the war: Want of means only will bring NICHOLAS to a sincere profeSsion of moderation. Letters from Vienna, state " that the Emperor NICHOLAS will listen to any propositions that the Turks may make, but at the same time the operations of his armies must be continued : it is also known that the grand blow will be struck by the sth of September, when the Emperor will proceed forward at the head of his army ; and we may say we have it from a good source (says the letter), that the Emperor will proceed from Bessarabia at the head of his Guards and a fourth army, which is organizing in that Province ; there is no doubt that an armistice was en the tapir, but previous to its being granted, the Emperor deManded that Shun►la and Varna should be delivered over to him." The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 28th August contains a paragraph from Odessa, which shows pretty clearly that the armistice, said to have hpen concluded between the Russians and Turks, 'was .founded upon a report generally spread and believed at Odessa, in consequence of the unex pected, arrival, f the EMPEROR. The day of his departure for the army was fixed for the 22d August. According to news from Bosnia, things continue in that 'quarter in a feverish state, as will be•seen by the following When I lat±ly mentioned it is h on Essa, Am I. ore sohncluded b e t ween the Rel.:lien and Turkish armies be - pro able that An armistice, three weeks lead b een c turklA, it was i n consequence of a report generally apreadavord;f t heb:lieti here, whi c h i s eve n said to have induced eel e Consuls to sen d information of it to their Courts.

Shumle, - and , gives reason to ex report of its being the result of a con vention, especially as the day when the Emperor is to -re join the army, vii. the 22d of August, is so preci se l y given AGRAIq, AUG. 16. Our journal of to-day contains the following from the FRONTIERS OF BOSNIA. The rebels at Sarajewo propesed the following terms to Abdul Rahman Paeha I. That he .horrid immediately leave Sarajewo, and go to Travnik, th e f ormer residence of the Governor of Bosnia. te. That he should give them a receipt for 50 porses (each of 30U piastres) which had been extorted from them, and engage to repay them. 3. That he should acknowledge in writing that he fired with cannon on the inhabitants of Sarajewo. After he had acced e d to these terms, he was allowed to withdraw uuroole3ted. He then went to Trtivaik, bat left it again in two days, ordering the inhabitants to enter tain the same sentiments as those of Sarajewo, and went with his whole suite to Zwornik, leaving his harem in the fortress of Gradachaez. When he arrived at Zwornik he was refused admittance, and found himself under the ne cessity of turning back to the fortress of Tusla, where he intends to remain with the Governor till the couriers he has sent to Constantinople return. The Chiefs who are now masters of Sarajewo on their side have also sent couriers to the Sultan, to inform him of what has passed, ,r.rd for their justification .sent him the written acknowledgement above-mentioned. Meantime, they have appointed a sub stitute (Caimacan) to their deposed Vizir Abdul Rahman Pacha. The notorious Hassan Aga Pickky is said to hare de clared that he will put to the sword the families, and burn the property, of all the Bosniak Turks on the left hank of the Una, who obey the commands of the Vizir, and join the army that he has already assembled in the Drina. On the 26th of July most of the Turks of the district of Novi that were with the Army assembled on the Drina, with the exception of Capt. Cserich and a few Turks, returned, and relate that not only the Captains, but all the Bosniaks as sembled there, are gradually disappearing. Brussels Papers of the 3d inst. furnish us with another sample of Piracy, almost accoin- plished, but for the Turkish Pass which pro tected the Dutchman. Really these things have been suffered too long to go unpunished:— BRUSSELS, AUG. 3 Captain C. Van der Drift, of the Dutch ship de Verwisa cling, from Amsterdam for Lisbon, writes in a letter from the latter city, dated Aug. 9, that on the 29th July, being eight miles north el Oporto, he was hailed by a brig under French colonts, the crew of which asked him in Frenct) where he came, and whither be was bound, ordering and obliging him to lie -to, on which the brig hoisted a red flag. Captain Van tkr Drift went oa board the brig, and passing bettvecs two files of men, dressed in the Turkish fashion, and aimed with - sabres, was led before the Cap tain, whom he found seated in the Turkish fashion, holding a sabre in hand, and whip very roughly de manded his papers. However, he immediately changed his tone, and his behaviour on seeing the Turkish pass, which Capt. Van der Drift chewed him, who was then recoil ducted with much civility on board his own ship, after they had asked him if he was in want of any thing, and wished him a good voyage. BRUSSELS, SEPT. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who arrived here on the 30th August, left this city again yesterday afternoon, and took the road to Maeatricht, by Tervenren, where he went to see the Palace of the Prince of Orange. • Russia and Turkey are now fairly committed - in an arduous struggle for military superiority. Hitherto the tide of conquest has rolled into Turkey with little resistance. In every encounter the Russian armies have been victorious ; they have crossed rivers, and taken towns, and no army has appeared to resist their advance. But though such has been the previous history of the campaign, it is impossible to believe that the Turks, ignorant and barbarous as they are, have altogether neglected the means of defence ; and accordingly we find that the Russians have been forced at length to pause in their victorious career. The position of Shumla presents an obstacle to their progress, which they have not yet been able to overcome. In modern war strong positions have generally been of little value, because in the attack of a country the in vading army, extending its line by a chain of posts over a large tract of country, and _selecting the most favourable point of attack, will naturally avoid the strongest positions, and will rather break through the enemy's line where it is weakest, in which case all the strong local defences of the country will fall just as effectually by being flanked by this irruption of the hostile army as if they had been attacked in front. But there are some- positions so situated that they cannot be flanked—they must be carried by a front attack ; such was the position of Torres Vedras, in Portugal, before which the French army ingloriously mouldered away. We are told that the position of Shumla has this advan tage, that it is sturounded with hills in the north, west, and south, in the form of a cres• cent, and that it is only open on the east, where it is strongly fortified ; and further, that there is o other, practicable road •by which the Russian armies can penetrate the Balkan mountains. The hills by which it is shut in on the north are, moreover, said to be so covered with briars and thOrns, as to be quite inaccessible to artillery. In this case the Russians haNe no alternative but to attack in front. ThiS is the most hazardous; but it. is at the same time the most decisive course ; it wastes men, no doubt ; but this is in evitable ; it is the price of success; and any other plan that would cause delay, would be in the end equally fatal to the Russians, and more inglorieui. The campaign having been'brouglit: in this manner to some plain issue, it seems clear, if the above premises be well-founded, that the Russians must attack, and that the longer they delay this necessary course their difficulties will be the greater. The successful assault of such a position, so defended . aS it appears to be by a numerous and well appointed army, would be a great military achievement. It is a bold, a dif ficult, and a. doubtful enterprise. If it fail, Russia must relinquish her ambitious hopes of eastern conquests, at least for a season, unless she could renew the assault by accumulated forces ;. and its success does not . ensure the sub jection- •of the - country, or an easy uninter rupted march to the Turkish Capital. ..As we have already mentioned, success can only be Purchased by a prodigal sacrifice of men, and in -this case the. Russian army, crippled by its dear bought victory, has to proceed to "new and san guinarytl rough ach ievements---it has to force its way narrow u la passes ra o e f s t o h f e TBuarlkik cavalrysh twins, with th e irregular hanging on its steps, and the army opposing it in front. Such are the ,difficulties, if the Turks exert themselves in the. defence of the country, which it will require all the respurces of the Russian empire, and all the talent, energy, and skill of the Generals to overcome. At the same time it is hardly possible to believe. that the Russian Statesmen would have entered into this war without a previous estimate of its difficulties. They invaded Turkey in 1810 ; they advanced to the position of Shumla, all the peculiarities of which they must have been thoroughly aware of ; they must have exactly foreseen, in the event of their success, that the two armies would face each other where they now are ; and it would argue a more than ordinary fatuity not to have digested some plan for their subsequent operations—it is a crisis that must have been foreseen, and they must be duly prepared for it ; they cannot have been taken unawares, and if they had not con ceived that they could master the difficulty, they never, certainly, would have gone on so far with the invasion of the country—they knew perfectly that they would meet the position of Shumla, and would they have advanced upon it for the purpose of retiring with disgrace, and acknow ledging the failure of their enterprize before all Europe ? We cannot believe that, with their , eyes open, they would rashly incur the hazard of so signal a dishonour. The campaign has now reached a most interesting and critical point ; and a short time, for which we must wait patiently, will solve the problem of its final issue. The Star, Guernsey Paper, of the 2d inst., gives the following account of an attempt to es tablish a Jesuitical College in that and a neigh bouring island:— An extraordinary sensation has been excited here during the past week, by the arrival of two Jesuitical teachers from France, with the professed object of founding a Jesuitical College in this island. These individuals, it appears, have, with others of their order, an establishment of this nature in France, in which there are 1,200 pupils ; but the Go vernment of that country having recently suspended all Jesuitical seminaries, theirs must be closed very shortly, and they wished, if possible, to transfer it to one of these islands, where the greater part of their pupils will follow ann. They endeavoured in the first place to obtain a footing in Jersey, but the popular feeling there was strongly against them, and eventually, if we are rightly informed, Sir C. Halkett, the Lieut.-Governor, refused to allow them to settle in Jersey. Two of the principal conductors of the seminary came over to this island on the 22d ult. Their object, as might have been expected, no sooner became known, than great were the discussions to which it gave rise. As in Jersey, it was very seen manifest that the popular feeling was decidedly hostile to their views : some, however, and we must be candid to say that among them were men who yield to few in general talent and sound ness of judgment, were of opinion that the only result that would be sensibly felt in the island would arise from a vastly increased circulation of money. In the mean time the two disciples of Loyola applied to the local autho- rities far their sanction, and the Chief Magistrate promised to submit the matter to the Royal Court. A full Court ' accordingly met at 12 o'clock this day, for the special pun. pose of taking the request into consideration. Upwards of two hours were spent in deliberation, but as the whole passed in private it is impossible for us to report the proceedings. We, however, learnt, on the meeting breaking up, that it was the opinion of the majority of the Court not to allow any Jesuitical seminary to be established here. Had the division. been otherwise, it appears that it was the intention of several gentlemen, of the first respectability, to hold a meeting on Wednesday next, for the purpose of petitioning his Majesty against the measure, and that our countryman, Sir James Saumarez, had engaged to take the Chair. The same paper states, that although we are not so apprehen sive of danger to our political institutions as many of our fellow-citizens seemed to be, yet we cannot bat participate in the joywhich the Court's decision has verygenerally created. We direct the admirers of Lord BY/toN— and who does not admire his transcendant genius ?—to an article from a Morning Paper, which professes to be the exclusive organ of the Church and State. The worthies of St. Paul's and Westminster have come to a resolution not to admit a monument to the memory of the first Poet of the day to adorn the sanctuaries over which they preside ; and for this pious de cision they are extolled to the skies by the high priest of Fanaticism. We should like to know if the private virtues of the worthies in question were sufficiently known, whether the cause of morality did not benefit as much, if not more from the Poet, as from those who modestly set themselves up in judgment upon his demerits. But the course pursued by these Reverend Gentlemen can only be disgraceful to themselves—the fame of the Bard will endure, when their memo ries will not even be honoured by the contempt of Posterity. They will not be Bishops not withstanding, for " The force of canting can no further go !" THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

ISIrORTANT TO STAGE-COACH PROrRIETORS . Charles Smith and George King were indicted fat assault upon Radcliffe Black, on the 3d of June last. The prosecutor deposed that he is a soldier, and g : to Piccadilly on the 3d of June to engage a Beat nn' coach to Windsor. The defendant Smith, is the Coo man of a Bath coach, and asked ss. as the fare to Sloai Prosecutor offered to pay him, but he said, I'o, me when I t.et you down." 'Witness got. on the but soon afterwards Smith told him he sla 9 7 be could not take him, as the. coach was a ll gaged. Witness refused to give .up his •eat, and Sin threatened to tiling an officer. The witness still refd upon which Smith, who was the coachman, gut _the (G. King, the other prisoner), an d a ca d- to asiot " 1 "; forcing the witn ess f rom th e coac h. A p erson iff the `ro e called out " Soldier, do not come down, for a geode fir offered them eighteen shillings for the seat." Wane ° * t armed, but said that he would not-use his arms, though' would resist by force as long as he was able: They t 1 threw his cap into the street, and in despite d his et* resistance they forced him from the top' of the coach, b . he still was on the wheel resisting, l i eh e ti c o g , Tovvßa e came up and beckoned him to come dowd# whi ch accordingly did. Another witness corroborated the evidence of the P i secutor, and deposed to hearing the guard say that would get him down. Immediately after this, King got n 0 the coach, and threw the cap of the prosecutor into the Stir( Another witness proved the contract made between 0 prosecutor and the coachman. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. A notru us addressed the jury for the defendant, ae said the bargain made by coachmen with individuals for she' distances are always conditional, upon tin re being room , # the coachman cannot know the state of the coach until it about to star; for the seats 'upon the long coaches are d gaged at the offices, and the coachman therefore could make any other than a conditional engagement. What di King do? Ile took precisely the very step which Way' avoid an assault.—(A laugh.)—" I will," he said, "Ord his cap into the street, and his head must follow it, and will remove the cause of rentention."—(A from assaulting, this was the very way to eschew an a l sault.—llis client, therefore, was entitled to an acquittal, Mr. Bodkin now rose, when the CHAIRMAN said, Itir Bodkin, who are you for ? Mr. BonKlN—For Smith, Si l i The CHAIRMAN-011, I thought Mr. Adolphus' M i ; l ADOLPHUS—I am for Kin g , Si r . I am sorr y you COP not find it out by my speech.—(Great laughter, in 'whi ej the Bench joined.) Mr. BODKIN then addressed the Jury for Smith. 'Be CHAIRMAN, in summing up, said, that the oonchic of the defendants was perfectly illegal. The proseot had contracted with the coachman to be conveyed to Sloug and it was quite indefensible in the prisoners to remo ve him from the coach, because they could procure anal ° passenger, who was going a greater distance. The Jury llnind both defendants guilty, and the CHAO / MAN sentenced them to two months' imprisonment. Then, said Mr. Anosmus, this case is of great pull' i importance, and these coachmen and guards ought to kne y that they ought not to a ll ow p assengers to ge t u p o n coach unless they intend to convey them.

Mrs. Stamp Sutton Cook, who was yesterday examined on a charge of swindling, in conjunction with De Burgh and others (committed on Monday), was brought up this morning for re-examination. The ease of obtaining the harp of a Mr. Dodd in 1820, was again gone into, but it appeared that the offence was committed in the City, and the Magistrate said it must go before a City Magistrate. Mr. Rathmeicher, the music -master, then repeated his charge. He sent the piano•f u ►te to Capt. Pettingall's house, and to the best of his belief Mrs. Sutton was in the room when it was taken in. The MAG:STAATE asked Mrs. Sutton, if she wished to give any explanation as to where the piano -forte was ? The prisoner replied, that she believed it was perfectly safe. Mr. Rathmeicher observed, that he wibshtd it were safe M his shop. The prisoner remarked, that it was quite safe, and would be shortly in his shop, as she had not made away with it. Mr. Rathineicher's son was also examined, but the facts have been before published. Captain Pettingall stated, that the prisoner left his house in debt to the baker, the butcher, the brewer, the grocer, and the coal-merchant. Mr. Adamson, tailor and draper, of Lamb's Conduit.. street, stated that four years ago the prisoner lived at Highbury, and called at his house in an elegant chaise, and ordered various articles, which were furnished to a large amount, and he could never get the money. She was remanded till Saturday, when the Magistrate said he should commit her to Newgate. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) FISFI-MARKET, TAILLINGSGATE.
