The Sun. — London, England, 1827-09-26 00:00:00

AURORA 130WALIS. This metropolis was surprised at about eleven o'clock last night, by a splendid display of northern lights, .which 'but very seldom stray so far to the South. The last which we beheld in London, were in the Autumn of 1804, about the end of September or -the beginning. of October, and the fancied prodigy filled all the superstitious heads at the time with fearful prog nostics, and loosened the tongues of nearly a hundred prophets. The spectacle then was truly magnificent. A. broad arch of blood-red light spanned the Heavens, and remained stationary for auficur , or two, like the bridge of spirits. Both edges then spread, and grew fainter, till as they widenedthe deep red vanished, and the 'Sky -be came a moving sea of snowy effulgence, contracting, flashing, and expanding, till the rising sun swallowed up and drowned the whole in its superior lustre. Last night we did not witness the beginning of the phenomenon, but we Understand 1114 the Northern parts of the Heavens displayed, about eleven o'clock, so ruddy a blaze, as to appear like the reflection of a mighty conflagration. When we observed the sky an hour later, we found that the red hue Was gone, but the whole horizon, in 'a Circular direc tion, from the North to the East, was lined With a thin cloud, or condensed mist, from which waves of snowy light rolled up to the empyrean, of sudden rays flashed up, and as suddenly vanished, to appear in a different part. A few small clouds broken into fantastic shapes slowly floated, or. rather were suspended in the North east portion of the Heavens, but evidently !Oliver than the region of the fluid, for they remained dark while it spread and brightened above them. The rest, of the sky was clear, and the piercing lustre of the stars flashed vividly through the snowy veil, which the Spiirtive and ever shifting light' flung and unrolled beneath them. BEET-ROOT SUGAR. At the dinner given by the city of Amiens to the King, opposite his Majesty was placed an immense column of beet-root sugar, manufactured by NI. Hector Ledru, at Franvillers, near Amiens. This column, we are informed, particularly struck his Majesty. It was composed of beet root sugar, of four different qualities, and crys tals of raw sugar form'ed the pedestal. At the four colliers were placed, by way of boundary, four candied beet-roots. M. Ledru, who esta blished the'inanufactory at Franvillers, and who intends shortly to establish another, was presen ted to his Majesty, who deigned to encourage him, and examined and ordered to' be taken with him, by way of trip', a loaf of the sugar, whose whiteness and fineness prove the progress made by thelnanufacture, to which the'still high price of Colonial sugar oilers great encourage= ment.—Journal des Debats. IMPROVEMENTS AT CAMBRIDGE. The extensive additions and alterations lately made to some of the Colleges in Cambridge, and the improvements still in pogress, reflect equal honour on the taste and liberality .of the tads of the University, and the architectural skill and genius of the age. The most conspi cuous of the recent. improvements, are the new' buildings erected at King's College, which prin cipally consist of an extensive wing on the south side, in a line parallel with the celebrated Chapel of King's. In the centre:is the porter's lodge, the exquisite proportions, elegance, and perfect execution of which can be surpassed only by the Chapel itself. - The latter, however,' like some of the splendid paintings of the ol&masters, se ems to bid defiance to all modern imitation : and hence the new buildings, which, if isolated, or in a.situation whence the contrast would be less obVionS, would call fbrth unbounded admi ration, are here " shorn of. their beams," and appear comparatively insignificant by the side of this majestic pile. Yet, when this first feeling has subsided, and we proceed to a deliberate examination of these rival works of art, we %hall find that the workmanship of the modern build ings is fully equal, if not superior, to that of the ancient ; it:is chiefly in the vastness of their un dertakings, and the unequalled beauty . and ori ginality of their designs, that we are outdone by the ancient architects. The right hand of the English artificer has lost none of its sun sling, though only employed in copying after former models. In addition to the Lodge, the south wing of King's College contains the • Hall, and a vast number of apartments for the students, hitherto scattered over the town in lodgings, for want of accommodation at the College. The style of the architecture harmonises with that of the chapel,. which it is almost needless to say is the beautiful ornamented Gothic, which reached its climax of perfection in the reign of Henry VII. The whole of these improvements are highly cre ditable to the taste and ability of the architect, Mr. Wilkins. - • • To Bennet College a nevi square of buildings has been added, with an extensive entrance front on the west side, along Trumpington-street, where " goe,th a brook," as Chaucer said full four hundred years Ago. The chapel is on the east, opposite the entrance, the Hall on the north, and the Library cin the south. Here also is an ex tensive range of apartments for students Inside the square, the buildings present a remarkably neat and classic appearance, the effect of which is, perhaps, improved by the interior space being covered, as in the other Colleges, with fresh green turf, as trim and smooth as_ the verses of Pope, which, according to Dr. Johnson's well known simile, were " shaven by the scythe, and levelled with the roller." An additional square to St. John's College is now the course of erection on the western, or opposites side of the. Cam, which, it is calculated, will cost up• , -ards of 30,000/. A communica tion between the new and old .buildings will be .an elegant bridge, intended effected by means of to be thrown across the river. In the Fitzwilliam Museum there is a drawing of,a proposed improvement in the building% ex tending along Trumpington-street, in which the front of ails College is removed, anti the whole line of street thrown open, when King's College, the University Library, the Se nate House, Caius, Trinity, and St. John's Colleges, appear in regular succession, in one liubroken view.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de Fraezec, Sept. 24.) We learn that the note- which accompanied the delivery of the Treaty of the three Powers to the Porte, contained the proposal of an armistice, with the menace of recourse being bad to all the means necessary to attain the object of the Alliance. It is affirmed, that the Sultan is resolved to come to the last extremity, and even to an open rupture. It is probably this resolution which has induced • the Ambassadors of the Allied Courts to embark their families, who are already on board. Constantinople still enjoys tranquillity, but mea sures are taking with great promptitude to put the Dardanelles in a state of defence. The despatch from the British Envoy at the Court of PerSia to Mr. Stratford Canning, transmits to him, as we are assured, the news of :brilliant victory gained by the .Russians on the right bank of the Araxes. The total loss of the Persians is stated at 40,000 men, and that of the conquerors at 11,000, whidltis probably exaggerated.--Angsburgh Gazette. :Moscow, AUG.. 27.—,-The news of the important victory gained over the Persians near Djeven Bou lak was announced on the 12th to the inhabitants of this capital, by an interesting and memorable so lemnity. After the 'Pc Dezem, which was performed in the Church of the Monastery of Tchoudoff, and followed by a salute , of artillery, the four standards taken from the Persians, as well as the key of the other fortress of Abbas Abad, were carried in triumph through the streets of Moscow, escorted by the Commandant and the Chief Director of the Police; these glorious trophies were afterwards deposited in the Monastery of Tehoudoff.--Northern Bee. The Journal of the Mines announces the dis covery of five veins of lead near the village of Nsi golonia, in the territory of the Don Cossacks. From the assays that have been made, it appears the ore contains 60-100 of lead, and 1-3840 of silver. VIENNA; SEPT. 14.—The merchants have re ceived a multitude of letters, confirming all the news of the rejection of the Ultimatum of the three Powers. But the Austrian Observer of this day is still silent on the subject. It is affirmed that the Infant Don Miguel will leave Vienna in a fortnight. His , afthbility has ac quired him universal regard during the twelve months that he hai passed in this capital. The Metalliques are to-day at 92, and the Bank Shares 1088. PARIS, SEPT. 23.—A foreign journal announces that the English Parliament will meet in November. We do not believe it will meet before February ; it is to Le presumed that the Session of the Chambers in France will open about the same time. We learn by a letter from Toulon of the 17th September, that his Majesty's brig La Champenoise is going to sail again for Algiers ; this is the vessel on board which , M. Duval, the Consul, returned to France. It is affirmed, that his successor is ap pointed, and that our differences with the Dey of Algiers have been adjusted on conditions advanta geous to our commerce; (From the Moniteur of Sept. 23.) PARIS, SEPT. 22.—The Jouriial der Debats is astonished and alarmed at our silence respecting the affairs of•the East,'which . it has not patience to suffer to come to maturity. 'We thank it for the justice which it does us. Our long nap respecting the affairs of Portugal, so well justified by the event, has, doubtless, taught it, at the same time, that it has proved to our readers that do not like to speak unless to the purpose. Public opinion knows now where to look for in formation, and we may believe ourselves' dispensed from answering to all the calls of the public Journals, and from refuting their false news, or their random conjectures, till we are able to do so in a manner useful for the instruction of the well-disposed, and for the security of the legitimate interests. The public must have learned' circumspection and patience respecting the news given it by Journals which formally announced the passage of the Pruth by the Russian army three years ago. For oar parts we have confined ourselves, and shall do so en all occasions, not to speak except with confidence and conviction, of affairs such as those which are-now in agitation. .The Gazette de Fiance, without quoting the Mo niteur, inserts the above article. (From the Constitutionnd.) VIENNA, SEPT. 13.—Letters from Constantino ple, dated the 31st of August, mention that the Porte has not accepted the Treaty of Pacification of Greece, transmitted by the three Powers. The L►fant Don Miguel had yesterday received a courier from Rio Janeiro, and from that moment prepara tions for departure have been observed in his palace. It is said that after a short ,excursion into the vici nity, and to the chapel of the . Virgin Mary, a cele brated place of pilgrimage, he will sojourn a few days longer in this capital, and then proceed to Lis bon, accompanied by Count Lebzeltern, formerly Austrian Ambassador at the Court of Petersburgh. (From the ConstitutionneL) PARIS, SEPT. 22.—A letter from Perpignan, of Sept. 14, says, " It is not surprising that the divi sions of the rebels augment daily in a formidable manner. The following is a circular of the Com mandant Mariano Vilella, which he has sent to all the towns under his command, in order to assemble a large body of men for the blockade of Girona : "THIRD DIVISION OF THE ROYALIST ARMY. " It is necessary for the good of the service of the King, our Master, Don Ferdinand VII. (whom may God preserve), that all men should lend their aid in the just cause we defend..

You will, at the same time, direct all the men in a state to bear arms to repair imme diately to the same place; giving you notice, that you as well as the Commandant and all others who shall in the least delay obeying these orders, or shall refuse so to do, shall be punished by a fine of 3,000 francs, and shot, if the degree of resistance be great. " cod preserve you for many years. " Olot, Sept. 5, 1827. (Signed) " MARIANO "'ULLA. " To the Bailey of the Commune of General Manso has taken up a position at Hos mirk+, and Colonel Besse,. who is at Girona, stirs not, although some parties of armed men hover round the town. Some gentlemen at Conmajor appear fixed. Their inaction must be attributed to the following Proclamation Don Juan Antonio Monet, Field-Marshal, &c. &c., and Commandant-General of the Army of Ope ration of this Principality. - Catalonians !—The 3d article of the King's order, of the 31st of the last month, published on the Bth justant by his Excellency the Captain-General of this Army and Principality, has informed you of the difficult and positive commission which the King our master has deigned personally, and by his Ministers, to confide to me. It contains the most formal instructions to p u t d own t h e h orr ibl e revolu tion which has broken out in the country, and which has been provoked by a po r ti on o f its unnatural children, disobeying in th e . mos t cr i m i na l manner our :beloved Sovereign and his laws, by opening a wound which must destroy all t h e i n d us t r y of Cata lonia at the very time that all worthy people of the Province, with the greatest pains, endeavour to wipe away' the remembrance of all past misfortnnes. The above named Royal Order shows w i t h t h e grea t e st clearness the atrocious object of the revolt, and that secret document, and all that the Captain-General, the Royal Audiencia, and the Criminal Chamber, have ordered respecting these unhappy transactions, convict of high treason these very Chief s , w h o can not but feel themselves to be guilty, whatever senti inents they must feel to tin' ;;qtrary,-, Therefore, wbat I say is not to convince the inalefactots of their crime, but only to make known the decisive steps • I must take exactly to fulfil my duty, and for the service of the King, our master, under whatever circumstances I may find myself. Therefore, with the approbation of the Captain- General, I have determined as follows : Article I.—Pardon is granted to all those who have joined the Revolutionists, who at this moment afflict and devastate the industrious province of Catalonia, provided they return to their homes before the 23th of this month, giving up their arms and ammunition to the military authorities, or to the Bellies of their Communes. • 1 fix this term con formably to his- Majesty's benevolent intentions. Art.2.—Tlte leaders of bands are not comprised in the first article, as they will-be punished with all the rigour of the law. Art. 3.—The towns who joined the revolt, sound ing the tocsin, :provided they do not relapse after this publication, are comprehended in the pardon. Art. 4..—The Baillies will collect the arms they shall receive, in consequence of Art. 1 ; and give them up to the nearest military authority, taking a receipt for them, specifying when 'they give them up, and those belonging to RoyaliSt Volunteers. General JUAN ANTONIO MONET. Barcelona, Sept. 13, 1827. • (From the Constitutionnel.) PARIS, SEPT: 23.--The important news of the rejection by the Porte of all interference in the affairs of the Levant, is now fully confirmed. The itioniteur has said nothing on the subject yet, but we believe that the courier who has brought the an swer of the Divan arrived in Paris on the night of the 19th and 20th inst. According to the Gazette d' Augsburg, as soon as the haughty answer of the Reis Effendi was received, the Ambassadors of the three Powers, who signed the Treaty of London, sent away their wives from Constantinople. The partisans of the statu quo entrench themselves behind the old system of policy followed by the Divan, from which it will not depart, and which tends to prolong any negociation, the result of which seems likely to be disagreeable; but it is in vain to speak and act, the great disputes which have now lasted six years, approach a termination. Even .the Moniteur is of this opinion, and has explained itself clearly. The Turks, it is said, will never give way; and, on the other hand, the Powers are anxious - to avoid an open rupture. No doubt the Powers are united among themselves, and their actions will be the con sequence of their words and their treaties. It is now certain that they will maintain the species of blockade, by means of which all communications between Turkey and Greece will be cut off by the combined fleets: Either the Divan will give way, or it must make. war, and no possible combination can escape this dilemma. In the present state of things what is most important to know is the atti tude which will be taken, .or perhaps it has already been taken, by the Russian army on the banks of the Pruth. (Froth the Courrier Francais.) PARIS, SEPT. 23.—The uncertainty which the cunning policy of the Divan, and the inexhaustible patience of the European Cabinets have hitherto thrown over the affairs of the East, is about to have an end. The Treaty concluded between the three Great Powers cannot remain barren, like the diplo matic notes which preceded it. The Porte has given up its means of delay. Accustomed to regard as mere words the threats of the Christian Powers, it thought the new Treaty merited no more atten tion than the representations it has mocked at so often. The answer of the Reis Effendi has - not, perhaps, yet closed all the doors' against a settlement ; and the Ambassadors seem to have thought so, for they remained at their posts after this answer, and made another communication to the Divan. But the Pacha of Egypt, (leaf to the representations of the European Consuls, has sent out from Alexandria the fleet destined to succour Ibrahim. This fleet, therefore, must already have met with the squadron destined to atop its passage. • If it employed force, the result cannot have been doubtful. The three Powers have at present nothing to rely on but their own firmness and energy. The least hesitation will only make the Divan more (intractable. It is no longer the rescue of Greece which the Powers have to accomplish—they must also maintain their own honour anctOiemitv. THE REV. MR. IVATEZIO 11, (EXTRACT FROM A LETTER.) A tomb is about to be erected ever the re mains of the late singular and unfortunate Rector of Little Stukely, and is now exhibited on the premises of the lapidary artist, at Huntingdon.—. According to immemorial wont and usage, a copy of verses is appended to the inscription, which, in point of style, taste, and orthography, are on a par with the " uncouth rhymes alluded to by Gray. This branch of English literature has Certainly remained stationary during the last cen tury. We transcribe the whole of the inscrip tion : Sacred to the Memory of the Rev. Joshua Water house, 8.D., nearly 40 years Fellow of fiatherine flail, Cambridge, Chaplain to. his Majesty, Rector of this Parish, and of Coton, near Cambridge, who was inhumanly mur dered in this parsonage' house, about ten o'clock on the morning of July 3d; 1827, aged 81.

The floor-sloth manufactory on the other' side was also slightly injured. It is a most happy circumstance that, notwithstanding the rapidity with which the flames spread, th e premises being to say, in old, and principally composed of wood, none of the inmates received the slightest injury. The calamity is attributed to the carelessness of a child left to light the fire. M r .

LONDON, N‘ D - N F SDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1827. We received last night the Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Gazette de France dated Mon day morning. The latter copies an article from the Augsburg Gazette, which asserts that the Note which accompanied the delivery of the Treaty of the three Powers to the Porte, con tained the proposal of an armistice, with the menace of recourse being had to all the means necessary to attain the object of the alliance ; !nit, it adds, that the SULTAN is resolved to come to the last extremity, and even to an open rupture. The same article states, that Mr. STRATIORD CANNING had received a despatch from the British Envoy at the Court of Persia, announcing that a brilliant victory had been (rained by the Russians on the right bank of the Araxes, in which the Persians lost 40,000 men, while the loss of the victorious army was 11,000. We very much doubt this statement, and con clude that it refers to the less important success which we have already heard of through the St. Petersburg!' Papers. It is stated from Vienna, that the merchants have received a multitude of letters confirming the news of the rejection of the Ultimatum by the Turkish Government. The Austrian Ob server is, however, still silent on the subject, and the Moniteur will not be induced by the s neers of other papers to say a word on the sub ject, preferring, as it asserts, to follow the same The insurrection c ourse as, it has done in Portuguese affairs, that any check, notwithstandinc, i s , no t to speak unless to the purpose. has not receivec.

Th e news of the Treaty for the Pacifica tion of Greece appears to have produced the happiest effects as soon as it was known in that unfortunate country. Dissensions instantly ceased, and all hastened to take part in the -fescue of their country. The following ex tract of a letter from M. LURIOTTIS, late one of the Greek . Deputies in London, will be read with the deepest interest by those who have anxiously watched, as we have done, the fate of Greece, and the dawn of - brighter days opening upon her : _ _ " Leghorn, Sept. 10. " I have this moment seen a letter from the Peloponue sue, dated 13th August, which says, that scarcely bad the news of the treaty between England; France, and Russia, been made known, than'the dissensions of all parties ceased, and the whole of the Palicari•hastened to range themselves under their respective Capitani, to march against the enemy. In the space of a few days two corps were formed—one to proceed in the direction of Vostitza, and the other against Patras. General Church was encamped near Corinth, with 3,000 men: :The troubles at Napoli have been suc ceeded by the greatest harmony is all parts of Greece. • " The enthusiasm which now prevails cannot• be ex ceeded.

The PRINCESS REGENT seems to takc the most effectual steps for precipitating the downfal of the Constitution, by repeatedly changing the Ministry, and replacing it at each successive change with men who are more and more averse to the Constitution. Such insidious conduct must naturally paralyse the ad ministration of justice, and damp the hopes of those who are well disposed to the free principles of the Constitution. That the Apostolicals have gained the ascendancy in Portugal there can be no doubt. They have compassed by intrigue what they could not accomplishby force. They are at present, by controlling the actions of the PRIN CESS REGENT, as much at the head of affairs as if Don MIGUEL ruled in Lisbon. Our private ac counts corroborate the weakness or wickedness, it matters little which, of the Princess—and if she persists in the same line of policy, the con tinuance of our army in Portugal is perfectly ridiculous. They must either be considerably reinforced, or quit the country altogether : moms, SEPT. 10.

SHPT. 12.—The Gazette contains a letter from the Minister of Finance to the Corregidor of Evora Estreino, severely reprimanding him for his negli gence in not collecting the arrears due to the Royal Treasury, and especially for the enormous debt due by the Receiver-General of the Excise, whose property l►e is ordered immediately to seize, for the benefit of the' Exchequer ; various directions are given him, and the whole concludes with a threat, that if he neglects this order, his own property will be sequestrated in behalf of the treasury. . SEPT. 15.—(OFFICIAL.) —It having been shown to me that the Journal called the Trombeta Final has net only used expressions disrespectful to the Government, but that it continues to use language calculated to excite animosity and party violence, which' unhappily threaten the public tranquillity, for the preservation of which, and the entire reconcilement of the people, the Government and subaltern officers in their several departments ought to employ the Means most conducive to so important an end, and it being certain that such journals are published with the sanction of the Censor or Censors who examine them, and on whom the greatest responsibility therefore falls, I think fit, in the name of the King, to dismiss the Censor or Censors of that Journal, who permitted doctrines to -be circulated which are so contrary to the respect due to the Crown and to •the public tranquillity. (Signed by the Infants Regent,) CARLOS RONORIO DE GOUVEA DIJRAO. Palace of Ajuda, Sept. 13, 1827. ITamburgh Papers of the 22d inst. have reached us this morning. They contain no political news, but give a most milanoholy account of a dreadful catastrophe which has be fallen the city of Abo, the capital of Finland.— Nearly the whole of the town, the Cathedral, including its library and museum, the Courts of Justice, bridge, &c., have been destroyed by a terrible conflagration, which raged with such vio lence, that only thirty houses have escaped.— Above one hundred persons perished in the flames, and the unfortunate inhabitants, to the number of 11,000, are left in a state of perfect destitution. The Official Gazette of Sweden, contains the Royal Resolutions, which were communicated to the Norwegian Storthing, before the close of the Sesstons, disapproving of various acts of that body. We must refer for particulars to the fol lowing extracts ADO, SEPT. 7. At•nine o'clock in the evening of the 4th instant, this town was visited by a dreadful conflagration, which, after raging for twenty-four hours, ended with the' almost total destruction of the place. The fire broke out in - the houSe of M. Hellman, a merchant, whose people were engaged in melting tallow, and to escape the penalty attached to the carrying on such a business in the town, endeavoured to conceal the fire as long as they could, anti closed the doors. In five minutes the whole was reduced to ashes. .The fire sprea d in three directions, and was soon universal. The Cathedral is totally destroyed, with every thing it con taiced, the archives of the consistory, &c. Of our cele brated University nothing reMains but the Observatory ; all the buildings of the Academy, with the valuable collec tiOns, the library of 40,000 volumes, the cabinet of medals, the collection of instruments, the Custom-house, the Court of Jotice with the are hive!, the Town-ball, and above 900 • houses, are destroyed ; the bridge has fallen in. Only' about thirty houses ha ye estared, and the inhabitants, 11,000 in number, have lost every thing. STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 14. P►ivate Letters from Abo say that above 100 persons perished in the flames. The General Insurance Company in this city has to pay 300,400 dollars to the inhabitants of Abo on this Occasion. The Official Gazette contains the following Royal reso lution,liated .August - 7, which was eommunioated to the Norwegian Storthing before the close of the' session. His Majesty finds that the sums which the Storthing has granted for objects of general utility, proposed by his Ma jesty, are, on the whole, insufficient; his Majesty views with 4isapprobation the considerable• reductions which the Stor thing has made in the sums proposed for the fleet and the army, as those' important branches of the public Ad- Ministration are intimately connected with the freedom and independence of Norway, as well as of the whole Penin sula. The sum which the Storthing allots for diplomatic purposes corresponds neither with the wishes which the Storthing expressed in its humble address of the 27th of July, nor with the proportionable share which NOrWay should contribute to - those expences which concern both Kingdoms. His Majesty will canse detailed tables to be drawn up, whiert will prove the disproportion alluded to. His Majesty will consider and determine, according to cir cumstances; the measures which he may consider as com patible with the advantage and welfare of Norway. PETEP.SEURGH, SEPT. 8. Four Senators set out last week for Warsaw to be present at the meeting of the tribunal of the Kingdom, to decide in the affair of the person' concerned in the conspiracy.' The utmost anxiety prevails for further news from the' Turkish Capital. No just grounds remain for hope that the SULTAN will give way, but still, while the die it not Positively cast, it is thought by some that a chance remains of a dif ferent line of policy' being finally agreed to. For ourselvs, we do not entertain such . a . 'h4 e , and we consider the circumstance 'f the Ambas sadors having shortened the period originally fixed for the decision Of the SULTAN to fifteen days, as prod- of their being previously well aware both of what would be his Highness's determination, and of the part Which the PAcuA Of EGYPT would adopt. The preparations of the latter for sending reinforcements to Greece, must have been known at Constantinople, and the arrival of the expedition at Rhodes, without . doubt, acted as a stimulus to the Ambassadors to hasten their measures, while it would at the , same time encourage the . Yorte to persevere in , resistance to the wishes of the 'three Powers:--- But the fidelity of the PAcHA of EGYPT, how ever important to the SULTAN, would not aloud have influenced his •decision. He must have received communications and assurances froity other Pow ers o f greater c onse q u en ce b e f ore he risked th e vengeance of the Triple Alliance , as it has b een cwialled. om un ir l fri t a o e.r s t e nlc a te s tushrae impossiblecs struggle e e t S i t a p t p s o h s e ed a t o n b y i e e r„ f , i which is likely to ensue ; and, if the accounts in the German papers can be depended up on , s he is about to place herself in such an attitude, by forming an Army of Observation on the Turkish frontier, as will enable her to interfere, provided the views of Russia should, as we have always, predicted they would, extend beyond the simple pacification of Greece. That object is the osten sible one with Russia—but the real one is to extend her Eastern frontier, so as to bring 'her naval resources in the Black Sea into operation in the Mediterranean. Every information which, reaches us confirms our opinion of this being the ultimate object of Russia. Why, if such i S . not the case, should the Aussian Army cross tlic Pruth, as it is distinctly, stated it is to do, pro vided Turkey does not accede ? That was not a stipulation of the Treaty ; and if there is any secret article allowing it, Austria may well feel alarm at the existence of such a Treaty. The, fact, however, will prove to be, that no such secret condition has been entered into, and that if the Russian Army should actually cross the Pruth, and commence hostilities with Turkel?. Russia will take a step which was not conteni plated, and has not been sanctioned by her allies- THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELvs o' CLOC4C. . .

Yesterday a portion of the British army had a grand held-day and sham-fight, in Campo d'Ourique and the fields ' between that piece of ground and the Valley of Alcantar!a. To avoid the heat of the day, operations did not commence until a quarter before four o'clock in the evening. The two battalions of Guards formed one party, supported Isy four pieces of artillery; and commanded by Major-General Sir 11. Bouverie. The other party consisted of the 63d Foot, the 10th Hussars, and 12th Lancers, supported by the same number of guns, and commanded by Alalor-Gen. Sir Thos. Arbuthnot. The space was rather confined ; but both parties showed considerable spirit, tact, and neat ness in their different movements;' and, as it is recorded that a desperate engagement took place in the olden time, on the same , spot, between the Moors and Poittigneie, it of course rendered the ground more interesting. • The Guards took up their position in front of art enclosure, on.which the barracks• of one of the battalions stand, and which forms one side of the Campo d'Ourique ;' the other party occupied the rising ground in front of them. The Guards Commenced the attack by throwing out their sharp-shooters, and afterwards moving their columns and forming line, which had a very fine and , imposing appearance. They did not proceed far, however, before they were obliged to retire to their original position ; birt, gathering fresh cou rage, they again moved forward, and ilrove the other party within their supposed redoubts, beyond their first station. The beautiful and quick • manlier in which the' Guards formed their solitl•squares, tboth in their retreat and ad vance, to repel the repeated charges of the cavalry, excited universal admiration. Part of their skirmishing party, 4owever, on the second advance, was cut off, and sur rloanded by a party of the 10th Hussars, in very neat style. 4--(The fine manceuvre.of forming squares was what baffled to desperate efforts of the French Cuirassiers at Waterloo.) 1--The troops, at the conclusion of the fight, rested for a Mort time on their arms; after which, the,whole formed line, and marched past Sir W. Clinton. All the Dons of Lisbon were present on the occasion, and seemed highly gratified. • I wish I could give you an equally pleasing account of Political matters here,' which, I regret' to 'say, are' in a Sid fLate. Th e poor weak woman who is at the heat! of 'al airs is so much under the influence of the Apostolicals, that any good intentions of her own are brought to nothing by, the religious craft which they use to work upon her feelings. There has been another change of Ministers, in which the Conde da Ponte and others have been excluded. The publication of newspapers has been suspended, on ac count of some alleged misconduct of the censors, who have been dismissed, so that the poor . Constitution is under a cloud. Row matters will turn out it is difficult to con jecture ; bUt the month of October, in which Don Miguel becomes of age; 'will, no doubt, bring some 'change. The people seem to despair of Don Pedro's coming. • in Spain, I understand, matters are still worse. The Intendant of Police at Madrid is now here, after having fled from his post, where he states he could not have remained any longer with any degree of comfort .or safety. Oppression and misery ate driving their ',halms beyond Imam en durance; but the presence and strength of the French army render any effort to relieve themselves hopeless. Disturb ances and small insurrections have taken place, and it is hard to say what desperate men may accomplish. Th e h e . _ lief amongst the greater portion of our army still is, that we go horns soon ; but, as the writer in Moore's Alino nach has it, " there are signs of troubles in the times," and we may, therefore, not go home so soon as some of us expect. • ' - PRICES OF: STOCKS THIS Bank Stock 3 per Cent.
