sary to find some other means of inspiring dread; and it is this problem which has engaged the more sen sible advocates of the new discipline of prisons for many years; for it need hardly be observed, althougb many seem to forget it, that it is not solely the refor mation of the offender which is desired. If that were the only object, the setting him tip in a small shop, or giving him a place as servant in a respectable fa mily, would he perhaps the best way of treating a criminal. But we wish to deter others from crime, and for that reason to make punishment irksome and disagreeable. - It is from want of keeping this observation in mind that many reforms of prisons have greatly failed. After all the pains that have been bestowed, when physical comfort, spiritual ad vice, and even amusing books, have been adminis tered with generous benevolence, the offender has often come out unreformed, and the bystander learns nothing by the example. As places of reform only, gaols have not succeeded; as places of reform only they_9light not to be considered. With respect to diet, Mr. Hoare justly observes, that the usual mode of living of labourers and arti sans of the different counties is so very various, that it is net practicable or expedient to adopt any strict uniformity of system. Still the difference now ex isting, from ls. 3 , 1. to 4s. Sd. a-head per week, in expence, and so extremely great, both in the quan tity and quality of food, seems wider than any neces sity can require. As long as the health is not in jured, the plainer and the coarser the food given in a gaol the better. No doubt men confined in a gaol are more likely to suffer from want of good food than those similarly fed who are at large • the in ittence of the mind in this respect is well known. But beyond what is required for health, no extra diet should be allowed in prisons. The importance which attaches to the system adopted for prisons is shown by the fact, that, in the best regulated gaols, the number of recommittals is always less than in others. Mr. Hoare has a list of twenty-two gaols, in which the proportion of re committals was not more than 41 per cent.; in others, worse managed, the proportion was nearly 20 per cent. The Committee attach very great importance to an improved system of prison discipline, not that they are sanguine enough to hope for reform in the more vicious among the inmates of a prison. But they wish to observe that the same co mmunication with other prisoners which prevents reform of the individuals tends to make the prison itself less an object of terror. A months' solitary confinement, or six months upon the tread-mill well applied, are more formidable than two years of lax imprisonment; at the same time, periods of two, and even three and four years, may be properly applied to deter from grave offences. Your Committee have examined with attention an account of the state of Criminal Justice in France' for the year 1812, presented to Majesty Charles X - . by his Keeper of th Seals. Some of the re sults stated in that a,ccot nt may, he compared with those contained in the st mmary statement for the gaols of England and Wa s in the same year. In France, the total number, of Accused were 6,988 Acquitted 2,640 Convicted 4,348 6,988 In England, Committed for trial 16,147 Acquitted .. 3,266 Not prosecuted, or no bills found 1,786 • • 5,052 Convicted 11,095 16,147 Of 4,34.8, convicted in France, were condemned to death MCI In England, of 11,095 1,200 Of those condemned to death in France, it would appear that the greater part were executed; in Eng land, of 1,200, only 57 were executed. Of the crimes for which punishment of death was inflicted, we find in the French statements—murder, 11 ; attempt to murder, 88 ; parricide, 4 ; - infanti cide, 6 ; poisoning, 11 ; false money, 9 ; 'robbery on a public road 1 ; other robberies, 2; arson of houses, 17 ; arson of other descriptions, I.—The Eng lish statement, besides the crimes contained above, - contains, burglary, 10 ; forgery, l ; horse-stealing, 7 ; larceny in a dwelling house to the value of 405., ; rape, 2; sheep-steal ing, 3. In France it appears to be the pracrice to condemn, in the first instance, to the punishment in tended to be inflicted. For instance, in France, robbery, on the highway gives—condemned to death 1; hard labour for life 30; for a term, 8; solitary confinement, 5 ; emTectional punishments, 22. The English gives—robbery on person, on the highway apd other places—sentenced to death, 144 ; exe cuted 15. Of secondary punishments, France gives—hard labour for life, 281 ; for a term, 1,13 G ; solitary con finement, 1,228 ; au cancan, 5 ; banishment, 1 ; de gradation from civil rights, 1; correctional punish ment', 1,478; In England we have—transporta tion for life, 1:33 ; for fourteen years, 185; seven years, 1,945; imprisonment—five years, none; three years, 11 ; two years and above one year, 297 ; one year, 1,201 ; six months and under, 5,813 ; whip ping and fine, 310. With respect to terms of imprisonment, we' find in the French statement— Far 20 years 15 10 5 Front 1 to 5 years 312 Six months to 1 year 6B Less than six months In t France the number of accused were its the pro portion of 1 to ~ acc used tried, 1 in 4.,5 57• the population; of the )England the propor tion would be greatly superior. But it is difficult to draw any parallel in this respect. The offences tried before th e Correctional Tribunals in of a graver char acter than those which France are are punished in tiiis country ou t of the uourts of Assize and Quarter Sessions. F or instance, in F • lance, under the head of Crimes Punished by the Correctional Tribunals, there appear under the i t.tle volt. 10,796 of whom 4,364 were condemned to imprisonment for 3 year or more. . Distinguishing crimes' against the person, and those against property, the number under the former head are in France, of accused, 1,907 ; under the latter, 6,988; leaving out Corsica, the former num ber would be 1,821, the latter 6,939, In England, including, the same cle;s of crimes, the numboro e re , Against the person ........................ 531 15,616 Against property • ...................... tint adding to the 6,988, 10,796, the numbers would he— For France, against the person ~ ~•,... 1, 821 property - - 17,7 35 England, against the person against property Being in France, in the proportion of more than I to 10, while in England Without pretvrOing to any great exactness on this subject, it may be ;inferred that the whole quantity population i of crime is greater in proportion to then England than in France; bet that of offences againFt the person there are more, both t i proportion to the t, ti whole number o f offences, and e b e e poptilation in France, than in England. The g from this and other facts, seem s to al In, r that " 1l crowded ci' 1 - s ina n towns and flourishing manufactUres tend to increase depredations on property, and to diminish acts of violence against the person.

Und er that of - dilits ruraux, the number of prevenus are 5,109; o f 3,669 condemned, 2,929 to fine. It appears that the number of the judgments given in 1826 extends those of 182.5 by 8260, and that of these 6,049 were (Oils forestiers. No reason is given for this augmentation. The state of crime with regard to juvenile of fenders is peculiarly deserving of consideration, By an Ordinance of Louis XVIII. of the 9th of Sept. 1814, all convicted prisoners under twenty years of age were to be brought together in one prison, where methods of reform were to be adopted. This Ordinance is in conformity with the G6th Article of the Criminal Code of France. In the tables before us we find that the Bth table contains an account of the age of the prisoners tried. Under 16 were 102; of these, 39 were acquitted; 15 condemned to peines correetionelles ; 48 to be detained in houses of cor rection ; none to any higher punishment. We find in the next table, where crimes are specified, robbery on the highway by persons .less than 16 years .old, two condemned to peines correctionelles. In the 11th Table we find the following note : Aged under 16, detained till the 20th yearof their age 18 19th 2 11th 16th For 10 pears .... Some of these terms of imprisonment seem exces sively long; it is the principle, however, of treating boys differently from men, which is most worthy of consideration. July 17, 1828. THE ENGLISH MINISTRY. (From a French Paper—Le Globe.) It is now about three months since the remnant of Mr. Canning's party was driven from the Ca binet, and the Duke of Wellington now reigns alone. We say alone ; for in fi l et, with the . exception of Mr. Peel, *e cannot reckon as Miniiters the Hon. Gentlemen whom he has collected around him. They are .old aides-de-camp or companions in arms of the victorious hero and legislator, who have pro mised, during the vacation, to learn their duties, and above all, to retain their veneration for the sacred laws of military discipline. We would give their names to our readers, if it had been possible for. us, to fix them in our memory, but that we en deavoured in vain to do. We think, however, that one is called Harding, and another Courtenay. As to Lord Aberdeen, the blockades of Oporto and Madeira have made him known. It was a lucky chance of notoriety, which has been denied to his Hon. Colleagues. We remember the time when this strange Minis try came into the world. There was a general laugh at it throughout Europe, and nobody thought it would live a fortnight ; and yet it has lived three months, and people begin now to regard it more seriously. Look at the Journals : according to them, the administration of the Duke of Wellington will destroy every trace of that of the illustrious Can ning. In his foreign policy, by a pacific system which - makes England shudder with alarm, he wounds at once her honour and her power; in his domestic policy he desires to arrest her march and paralyse her progress. He has shamefully abandoned Greece and Portugal, and driven from the Ministry Huskisson, Palmerston, Grant, and Dudley. The Duke of Wellington is the scourge of his country and of the world; but the scourge is felt by that country, and .he cannot long retain his authority. Such are the opinions expressed by the Journals in opposition to the Duke of Wellington. Certainly we do not pretend to defend the Duke of Wellington—there are few men, we think, whose ideas are more narrow, or whose views are more insignificant. Devoted by sympathy to the medio crities of the aristocracy, and constantly influenced by, them, he will never have a great thought or con ceive a great project. Let him do good or harm, it will be . without his knowing it, and influenced only by petty considerations. But; admitting all this, is it true, that since he has been at the head of affairs, he has overthrown the labours of his predecessor ? Is it. true that. he .has changed-the policy of England, and , that his course is in direct oppositicin to the opinion of the country?' On this point we will make a few observations. Amongst the reproaches lavished upon the Duke of Wellington, we may notice, first, his repudiation of the laurels of Navarin, and the flatteries which he has bestowed upon the Porte. This conduct as suredly would not have obtained success in France, but France is not Ligland; and, we have already said, in that country humanity is put out to inte rest, and glory is expected to produce profit. Thus it is that in London the cause of the Greeks has al ways been unpopular : some individuals, indeed, have appeared devoted to it, but for the greater part personal interest only has been looked to. In this beautiful movement of national emancipation, England perceived only a distant danger for its com merce in the Indies : the fear of Russia prevailed over every other feeling. When the Duke of Wel lington deplored the battle of Navarin, he did but ex press the regret of the public; and when he flat tered the Porte, he only spoke the opinion of the whole of old England, and of a good portion of the new. It is certainly a strange contradiction to find so much sympathy for the Turks among men whose religious inflexibility does not allow them to endure Catholic idolatry or Socinian infidelity. There is something wretched in seeing them hold out to the followers of Mahomet that same hand with which they oppress Christians and fellow -country men ; but such is England. In that country, where it is a crime to play billiards ou Sunday, listen to the preachers in the churches, the journals, or the draw ing-rooms, What fine sentiments! What pity for people, or for nations, who, less religious, have no infallible or certain guide in life ! What horror at the bare name of that morality of self-interest which was adopted by France in the 18th century' After having thundered against it in theory, in prac tice every one ce.nforms to it—the Government above all. In a word, there is no country where national selfishness is more displayed, or a noble po licy more bitterly decried ; no country where justice less dares to show itself in opposition to any true or supposed utility; no country, however, where the future destiny of man and the sacredness of duty are more spoken of. By his caresses of the Porte, Wellington is sups posed by some persons to have -wounded the feel ings of the nation ; but would the interests of Eng land allow him him to pursue any other course ? Was it not better to enfranchise the Greeks than to allow them to be enfranchised by the Russians and the French ? Should he, at any risk, put himself into a position to repress the imperial ambition at a time when the state of the finances and the debt imperiously command repose ? These are grave questions, which we will not decide quite so quickly as some P gsi a rre t e i a s t i p a etmi:ej majority r iat n ny a ( l io i s ft t h s ta ;l htea English e induce na k it t r i l o o t n o w a g i r s o : ( t i l e ) a n t tl:' h e de heartily to war, it i s necessary to show, not the power of acquiring glory, but a positive and clear interest. We do not think that such an interest is so evident as to make it a crime in the Duke of Wellington not to have perceived it. fexcus , B ut this conduct is not But to return to Portugal: here th e conduct of England d oes not, in our opini on , a d mit of justifica ttli)ant'oofrlie7ellng even n i O ton (done. To convince ourselves of this fact, we have only to look to the re b e lli on of Don Miguel against John VI., in 182 c A ce lebrated En g lishman, Lord Beresford, was very pro minent in that anti-legitimate and anti-constitutional conspiracy. Who can believe that this was without the concurrence of his Government . Every thi ng proves the contrary; and yet, in the year 1824, Mr. Canning was in the Ministry. The English policy under Canning, as well as under Wellington, was to prevent the existence at Lisbon of any influence which should interfere with that of England. To prevent this she would have established or destroyed ten constitutions, and de throned or restored ten Sovereigs, Thus may we account for mysteries, otherwise incomprehensible, in the part taken in the first rebellion against John the Sixth—the support given to the Anglo-Bra zilian Constitution—the whimsical and fruitless ex- 1 pedition to Lisbon, and the brilliant reception of Don Miguel in London. Thus may we aeceunt for the great anger of the British Cabinet, and then its prompt propitiation : the abuse lavished upon the base usurper, and then the steps which are taking to induce Don Pedro to re. cognize the usurpation. Such is British policy : that it is low, paltry, and degrading, we are far from denying; but that it is in opposition to the national wish we do not believe, for, indeed, we think the direct contrary. What does it matter to the Eng lish aristocracy whether the industry or commerce of: the Portuguese . are fortunate or Unsuccessful-- free or enslaved ? What does it matter to them, if, by the support which they have alternately given to both parties, they have caused au increase of crime or disorder.? So long as Portugal continues only to be a satellite of England, so long as she loses not her monopoly, the Government will have acted correctly; to all the rest her eyes are closed. * * to - Thus, in Portugal, as in the East, it appears to us that Wellington has changed nothing in the course of public affairs; at any rate, we are sure that this expectant and temporising policy is rather approved of than blamed by his countrymen. Let us see, now, what his Grace has done in his internal policy. Among all the reforMs which the spirit of the 19th century has produced in England, that relating to the laws of religion is assuredly the most desirable: Under the Administration of Wellington the Test Act has disappeared, and the laws against the Ca tholics will, it is said, be speedily abrogated; yet the Duke of Wellington came into power as the re presentative of the Tories, those Tories se bigotted, so headstrong, so full of veneration for their Gothic idol of Church and State. How then, has it hap pened that he hag done that which Canning could not and would not do ? So strange a phenomenon can only be accounted for in two ways : first, by the force of things, which under a weak Government act with more rapidity and more certainty; secondly, by the increase - of power which such a Government, when forced to yield, gives to the opinion which it embraces. If, in the House of Commons, Canning had spoken against the abolition of the Test Act, his enormous ascendancy would not only have retarded its fall; and though a conqueror in the Commons, as on the Catholic question, in the Lords he could not have carried his object into execution. But the Wel lington Government felt its weakness, and thought better to yield. May not the same thing happen for Catholic Emancipation ? When the god of the Tories proclaims the existence of danger, what Tory will remain tranquil ? It will be under an Admini stration which was the hope of the priesthood that religious liberty will make the most decisive progress. There is one point, however, in which the Duke of Wellington has retrograded—we mean the 'corn laws. Without being actually good, the law of Mr. Canning was much better than that of the Duke; but let us not forget that even Mr. Canning had failed, and that Mr. Huskisson aid given up the at tempt. The corn laws do not regard opinions merely, they affect the prejudices of the public, the exchange, and the aristocracy. The latter, on this point, are peculiarly intractable. A day will arrive, however, when they must yield, but it will be when they cannot do otherwise—when some dreadful scarcity will reduce the people to starvation, and place the houses of the aristocracy in danger : then, after duly weighing the pour et le contre, the aris tocracy will think it right to save one part by sacri ficing the other. From what we have said, it may be supposed that we are great admirers of the administration of Wellington, and that we prognosticate far it a long existence. By no means : the administration of Wellington cannot last long in its present condition;. it will perish, however, not because it weakens or oppresses England, but from want of talent. Talent is the first quality required in a ministry by our neighbours the English—they cannot, therefore, be completely satisfied with the administration of Wel lington. Perhaps Mr. Canning would not have pur sued another course ; but, whatever was the con duct of" Mr. Canning,' it left behind traces,of bril liancy which were almost as imposing as powerful. Constituted as it now is, the English Ministry can neither inspire sorrow, nor joy, nor confidence, nor fear, nor admiration, nor anger. It has been created by the aristocracy to maintain the equilibrium of Europe, and thus it sees, without emotion, the Russians march upon Constantinople, and the French upon Athens. It was created for the maintenance of Church and State, and yet the emancipation of the Catholics will speedily follow that of the Dis senters. In a word, it was formed to crush new ideas, and yet new ideas never proceeded with such firmness and rapidity. Thus, while the Liberals curse it, the Tories begin to complain with bitterness of their chosen heroes—poor heroes l THE GREAT TORR ROYAL ESTATE, IN DEVON.—A considerable sensation has been produced in coniequence of this extensive property coining into the market, we are therefore desirous our readers should be possessed of the full particulars, which we have extracted from Mr. GEORG R ROBINS'S Particulars of Sale. We understand Sir TiromAs TYRWIIITT, Bart. has expended on this favourite project of his upwards of 50,0001. DINNER TO GEN. STEWART, OF GARTH. —On Friday the Highland Club of Scotland entertained Major-Gen. DAVID STEWART, of Garth, at a most sump tons dinner in the Hopetoun rooms, British Hotel, previous to that distinguished soldier leaving this country to assume the government of the island of St. Lucia. The Earl of GLAscow presided on the occasion, supported on his right by General STEWART, Professor Wusoti, Sir P. WA ER, &c. and on his left by the Right Hon. Sir J. SINCLAIR, Bart., the Chevalier LAINR, Consul-General of France, &c. CLA NAA NA LD and Captain Bos%vut.L, R.N. acted as croupiers. •The entertainment was served up by Mr. Cocxer ax, in the most splendid style ; and altogether we have never seen a more princely feast, or one more distin guished by hilarity and good humour. —Caledonian Mer cury of Monday. MR. KEAN.—This person arrived at his seat in Bute, on Wednesday morning, from the Isle of Man. We understand that he performed several nights for the first time during his career, at the Theatre of Douglas, and was received by the Manxnten with prodighana applause. some of Mr. KEAN's friends, who have already paid their respects to him at Woodend, are of opinion that he is at present in excellent health.— Caledonian Mercury. LANDED PROPERTY.—EarIy in the Session of Parliament some diversity of opinion prevailed, even amongst the more intelligent part of the community, as to the probable effect of the " Corn Bill," as it regarded its operation upon the value of Land. We believe this argu ment may be brought into a very limited compass. Very moderate Laud, even in times of prosperity, was not sought after with much avidity; and during the period of agricultural distress it necessarily gave way to Land of a superior character. Since the passing of the Corn 'Bill the same feeling has been manifest, but with ads distinc tion,—that poor Land has been sold with snore facility than heretofore, and Estates where the soil is good have been in great request. We could illustrate this position by many concurring events: it will suffice for the present to state, that a large Estate of the Earl of CLARENDON, in Wilts, which Mr. •GIiORQE ROBINS ineffectually at tempted to sell last year, be disposed of very readily this spring, and the land is notoriously of a very second.ratc quality. The same observation will apply to the large Estates of the late Earl of esiscoEsrEa, in Yorkshire, which last year Mr. Romss was unsuccessful in boding a purchaser for ; yet no sooner had the Corn Bill passed, :ban he transferred it into other hands at 50,000/., which is more than was expected for it last year. This property also consisted mainly of very poor land. This season the interchange of land has been very considerable, and both good and bad have found a ready vent at adequate prices. Last week afforded another striking instance of the sound ness of this argument. A portion of the landed property of Colonel VAUGHAN, situate within two miles of Peter borough, and without any local advantages to assist it, was sold by Mr. GEOUGE ROBIN. It consisted of 2SI acres, and produced 19,250/, or near 701. an acre.— Lord STRATHAvEN is understood to be the purchaser. A property in Somersetshire, amounting to 80,000/., was souli(!chbayseTeansadmmeogre t ent i l i e a n n s a n 3 ,0 o, v oe r ow. in very recently,and at h 3 a 3 s been year p transferred through the channel we have already alluded to this summer. This is a demonstrative proof (when op posed to the cheerless prospect of last year) that the Corn Bill has gradually aided the march of improvement, which is every ;lay becoming more manifest. COUNT CAPO D'ISTRIA. " Count Capo d'lstria was born at Corfu, where he was filling a public situation of trust under Go vernment in the year 1802, at the time of my visit ing that island, and was held in high esteem by hip fellow-citizens. Corfu and the rest of the lonian Islauds were then under the protection of Russia; but enjoyed a form of government of 'their own, as - has been the case since their occupation by Great Britain. The Representative of the - Russian-Mo narch at that time residing in Corfu, was Count Mocenigo ; a Nobleman who, by his impartial con het, had gained the esteem of persons of all parties. i He lived n a style of splendour well becoming his high station, and it was at his hospitable table that I recollect seeing, for the first time, Count Capo d'lstria. One could observe, even. at that early period of that gentleman's public career, that he possessed within him all the neces 'sary elements for ensuring his future elevation. General Romieux, the Representative of the French Consular Government to the Septinsular Republic, near to whom I sat on that day, said to me, point ing to the Count Cet homme ira bien loin dans la carriere de la diplomatic. Il ne lei Taut que des circonstances favorables.' The General's prophecy has long been verified; but its final and most trium phant accomplishment is even now taking place, by •the Count's elevation to the chief station in the Greek Government. From the year 1813, when Cap d'lstria was Minister Plenipotentiary from the Emperor of Russia to the Swiss Cantons, and, for his firm and upright conduct, was honoured with the right of citizenship by one of the Cantons, to the beginning of 1827, his career has been, with little interruption, a constant succession of highly honourable distinctions. He assisted at all the most important deliberations in some of those congresses of sovereigns which peculiarly mark the diplomatic history of Europe during the last fifteen years; and, on the part of Russia, affixed his name to the me morable Treaty of Peace, concluded in Paris on the 20th of November, 1818. In the full enjoyment of the confidence and good opinion of his Sove reign, the Emperor Alexander, Count Capo d'lstria followed his Imperial Master to St. Petersburgh after the signature of that Treaty, where he as sumed, in conjunction with Count Nesselrode, the functions of Secretary of State for the Foreign Department. The distracted state of public affairs in the infant Government of independent Greece, in 1826, demanded the presence of a man of energetic mind, well acquainted with that country and the character of its inhabitants, accustomed to direct the engines of public authority, and familiar with those forms of general administration which are best suited to the capacity of infant States, and more in unison with the interests and existing institutions of the nations most likely to hold intercourse with Greece. The representatives of that country looked on Count Capo d'lstria as the only individual who united in himself all those important qualifications, added to an ardent affection for the land that gave him birth. On him, therefore, the unanimous choice of his fellow-citizens fell; and he was pro claimed' President of the Executive Government by the Greek National Assembly in the Spring of 1827." —Dr. Granville's Travels.

When his education is finished in the Hospital, this portrait is given to him, and he promises, by an oath, to keep it all his life, in order that he may be reminded of the abject condition from which he has been rescued, and of the obligations he owes to the Institution which saved him from misery, aed gave him the mcaus by which be was enabled to avoid it in future. BRECIIIN.—From one swarm of bees, on the farm of Leuchland, in this vicinity, no less than nine pints of honey have been taken this season, without destroy ing these industrious insects. After robbing them of their luscious nectar, it was found advisable to send thew to the. heather ; and it seems they had some prescience of their tit:situ - tattoo ; for, on examining the hive the other day, it was found to contain an ample supply for the ensuing winter ! The honey leas taken at three different times, by means of a top which can be separated from the main body of the skep; under this top a board is fixed horizon tally upon the frustum, with a perforation in the centre, of about three inches diameter, through which the bees pass to the upper storey. The first top which is taken off contains wax so subtile that it vanishes at the touch, and honey as transparent as amber. Bees never begin to breed until they have collected a certain quantity of honey ; and the above method, of course, obviates that procedure.— Edinburgh Evening Courant. The two men charged with an unnatural crime, before Mr. Baron VAUGHAN yesterday, at the Old Bailey, were both found " Guilty." The verdict excited great astonishment in Court, as the evidence was somewhat con tradiCtory. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From time Gazette de France, Sept. 15.)

Thirty-four standards and several thousand prisoners are the fruits of this victory. Their Majesties end the diplomatic body were present at the Te Deum, which was performed in the Cathedral on this occasion. _ A report is generally spread, which is not guaran teed by any authority, that the Emperor has rejected the conciliatory proposals of Lord Heytesbury. With respect to the departure of our Monarch to the army, it is said that he will first go to inspect the military establishments at Sebastopol, and that he will not return to Kustendje till about the 10th September. It is hoped that by that time the fate of Varna will be decided. We receive by neutral vessels, accounts from Con stantinople, dated the 14th.. The Grand Vizier was still at Daud Pacha. It is feared that the dis covery of a new conspiracy of the Janissaries, in consequence of which numerous arrests and execu• tions had taken place, had delayed his departure. The news of the preparations of the French expedi tion for the Morea had reached Constantinople, and caused a great sensation there. All our letters from the Danube are silent respect ing the events at the theatre of war. Letters from Constantinople, which come down to the 15th, affirm that General Rudiger, who had advanced as' far as Eski-Stamboul; on the road from Shumla to Constantinople, had been obliged, after losing many men, to rejoin the main army before Shumla. JASSY, AUG. 24.—1 t seems that the submission of the Turks will cost more exertions than were at first supposed"; troops are marching at all points, and great preparations are making at Odessa and Se bastopol, for the embarkation of troops and ammu nition. Adi vision of infantry from the Government of Ekaterinoslaw, has received orders to proceed to the Crimea. It is supposed that the Emperor has some important expedition in view, especially as his stay at Odessa is protracted, and he will not return is the army till he has been to inspect the prepara tions at Sebastopol. PARIS, SEPT. 13.--A telegraphic despatch, dated Toulon, 12th Sept., says, the first division of the expedition to the Morea, arrived on the 29th of August, in the morning; and the second, on the evening of the same day. The troops were going to be landed at Calamata. (From thy Journal des Debuts of Sept. 14.) PARIS, SEPT. 14.—M. de Chateaubliand, the Ambassador of France atthe Holy See, sets out to morrow for Rome. The principal literary and political Journals, in lately announcing the works of M. de Chateaubriand, have expressed their regret at the departure of the Noble Peer. Like them, we do not see without grief that fatality which for some years destroys by death, or removes by absence, the talents which remained to us. For more than twenty-five years that the name of M. de Chateaubriand has been known to the public, the splendour of that name was continually increased, and it belongs now to us as one of our na tional glories. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) MADRID, SEPT. 4.—We are assured that the Cure Liano, Chevalier of the Order of . Alcantara, has just been arrested, under an order from Govern ment, by M. Caspe, Alcaide of the Court, without any intervention of the police-in the business. This ecclesiastic is known by his eagerness in favour of absolutism. It is thought that his arrest has been caused by a correspondence which he maintained with Catalonia and with Joria, in Eitremadura, and by means of which he was familiar with all that passed in the , principality.. Letters from Barcelona inform us, that on Sunday, the 24th, a secret assembly wis 'discovered, com posed solely of foreigners. A chest waslound which contained papers, a poniard, Some pistol s , an d o th er things. The individuals arrested by the police were first carried to prison, whence the Captain-General of the Province caused them to be transferred to the citadel. Letters from Girona state that a considerable band of malcontents being in a little village two leagues from the city, in the midst of the mountains, a de tachment under the orders of a chief of battalion was sent to disperse them, and that at the departure of the courier they learnt that this detachment had lost some men, and suffered many of their number to be made prisoners by the insurgents, who, after the combat, retired in good order, without it being pos sible to disturb their march. By other letters from different parts of the prin cipality, we learn that for several days past the troops i❑ the garrisons of war have passed the night under arms, and that they observe, during the day, the most punctual surveillance. The same letters add, that it had been discovered that the Governor of a small place has just been arrested, convicted of having sought to deliver up to the malcontents the town which he commanded. This plot they say had great ramifications. FR ANKFORT.—A report WAS circulated upon Change to-day, that the Russians had met with a great check at Shumla, and that they had lost 30,000 men. This report obtained much credit, and the Russian funds fell considerably. HARIBURGH PAPERS. BORsEN-HALLS, FOUR O'CLOCK. HAMBURGH, SEPT. 9.—Upon the arrival of the Dutch steam-boat, which came in yesterday during change time, a great demand began to be made for Danish 3 per Cents., which rose, in consequence, from 60i to 61. Many bargains were made at this price. The Anglo-Russian bonds also rose, and were done at 92 ; upon the whole the place was very brisk and decidedly bullish, to which probably the French 3 per Cents. and the Dutch prices in some measure contributed. Discount is firm at 2 per cent., and second-rate paper has been done at 24-. C4old in bars is in de mand, and Dutch ducats have been all bought up. As early as last week silver was taken out of the bank. The premium of insurance upon specie by the George IV. rose in the course of yesterday from to 1i per cent.

HAMBURGii, SEPT. 12.—1 n the course of last week the supply of wheat that arrived in our market may be estimated at 392 lasts. The greater part of this came from the Upper Elbe, and consisted partly of corn of this year's growth, the quality of which was pretty fair. A considerable part was purchased with a view to its being sent to France, and much was also taken for home consumption. The con sequence has beers, that the market hasbeenkelt understocked, so that prices may be expected be come firmer. In rye there has been little doing. The arrivals have been insignificant, and the purchases made w ere almost exclusively for home consumption, A few parcels of new winter barley have arrived, but have been of heavy sale, our brewers not choos ing to make their purchases yet. Some f rom the upper country was also brought into the market, and readily disposed of. Oats have maintained their prices, in consequence of scanty arrivals : Malt has been heavy from a con trary cause. From the 21st to the 31st of August inclusive, 83 cargoes of corn passed through the Sound. Of these, 25 were wheat, 2G rye, 9 barley, and 9 oats. Twenty-six were bound to British, 54 to Dutch, and 3 to French ports; 3 to Bremen, and I to Zante; the remainder chiefly to Swedish and Not* wegian ports.: doll* Dantrie Wheat of the wei g ht o f 124 t o WO. ..... 110 to 140 Pomeranian 125 to 13i 106 to 115 Anhalt, white llB to 128 ...... 123 to 12i1 red...... ....... .. ...... ... . . ........ 122 to 132......110 to 120 Danish 190 to 150......
