MADRID, Atm: 25. (From the Spanish - Papers.) The news from the theatre of war which has this day been received by the Government is not very satisfactory. kodil begins to despair of success, or at least he regards the termination of the contest as still very remote. What 'Melly renders the situation of the Government critical is the penury of ,the .Treasury, in,curisequenee of which it is impossible toinsiutain and payfrorn 15,000 to 20,060 men in Navarre. ThirGovernment, in this state of embarrass ment, seeks everywhere for capitalists willing , to open their purses, but it must be confessed that the plan of Count Toren') is not well calculated •to facilitate the discovery. The Finance Committee met to-day, and is expected to have another meeting to-morrow. All its sittings have, however, as yet had no decisive result. The reporter is not yet "chosen, but nevertheless it is alleged that a plan has Seen determined on almost unanimously. It appears that the committee will recognize no loans contracted since 1823, except those of Cortes. The report will therefore be op posed to Toreno's plan. Rayneval has made representa tions on this subject to the Government, but has as yet re ceived no explicit answer. The Ministers merely say that they must leave it to the Cortes to decide en the financial plan. There is still a report of an approaching modifica tion of the Ministry, and some even go so .far as to say there will be a complete change. On Wednesday or Thursday the' Finance Committee may be expected to present its 'final decision on Toreno's plan. The committee appointed by the Proceres will make its report on the suc cession on Wednesday next. Yesterday evening 11 prisoners, nearly all of superior rapic, who had been treskjed to an hospital on account of sickness, escaped, alpng witOiliesericeant on duty, and some soldiers who gxf 4 - thavicksaviong these fugitives in are see persons co Biliiisek ilt:Thaialfair of Estefani, and come officers of distinalid implicated in the 'conspiNcy, against the Government. It is reported that the fugitives hive been - retaken i ha' this is a report which much re, quires confirmation. " The trial of Estefani is not yet ter zninated. The Queen still resides at La Granja, and it is said that the cholerA has appeared there.. This scourge has .com mitted great ravages in the provinces, particularly at Val ladolid, where 150 'persons die daily. Several physicians have been carried off by the disease. El Observador, a journal in the interest of Count Tore no, contains the following reflections on an article in the Journal des Debate of the 14th instant, relative to the plan for liquidating the Spanish debt .‘ Let the Journal des Debats discontinue its complaints and its regrets for the situation of the French creditors in the sense which it attaches to its lamentations. It is truly strange that the Journal des Debats never before now per ceived that we required to be enlightened. It is still more strange that it did not make this discovery in 1823, when it was the journal of M. de Villele ; but now makes it, be cause the Paris Exchange is closed against a Government which cannot fulfil its obligations. The Journal des Debats knows very well that much evil and scandal and even rob bery might have beeasvoided,if, under such circumstances, the Exchange had hdiftt shut against other negotiations. " As to what concerns the holders of the paper for whom the Journal des Debats shows so lively a compassion, and whose fate appears to cause so much distress, they would be much, less to be pitied than the holders of the Cortes bonds, though the latter were to be more favoured than they. " The Journal des Debats states that the French Govern ment has already made energetic representations against a measure which is so disastrous. We shall only reply, that the affair is one on which the Cortes will decide. Never theless, we see with surprise the patriotic feeling which the Cabinet of the Tuileries displays in protecting the interests of the French creditors—that Cabinet which has hitherto always regarded with so different an eye the complaints concerning the other loans of 1823. To make an affair of state for one, and to hard abandoned the others to their fate, appears to us an enigma. Who shall supply us with its solution•P'' ( From the Madrid Gazette of August 24.) ROYAL DECREE. ." Considering that the safety and the tranquillity of the kingdom require that the most rigorous measures should be taken with regard to the party spirit and the sordid inte rests which cause the continuance of civil war in some of the provinces ; " Wishing, on another hand, that all attempts to land any arms or warlike stores in the northern ports for the use of the Spanish reb e l s s h ou ld b e prevented, and that thereby the evils which might result from the landing of such objecis should be prevented, I have ordained as fol lews,-in. the name of my beloved daughter, Isabella 11., and with the advice of my Ministers in Council assembled " Art. 1.. Besides the laws and rules in vigour relative to the general prohibition of arms, ammunition, and other war like stores, by-means of importation, others more especial ,and vigorous shall be created, which shall include the whole line of coast from Cape Finisterre to' the mouth of - the .11idassoa. " 2. The vessels belonging to the Royal navy, the boats and coast-guards, and other Spanish craft, shall oppose by . force, in concert with fortified places, forts, and land bat teries, the landing of all the abovementioned stores, seeing that they are only sent for the purpose of keeping up civil war in this kingdom. " 3. Every vessel found within six leagues of the above described coat, loaded with warlike stores, and about to :land any provisions, shall be considered as suspected of -entertaining hostile intentions. Consequently its cargo • shall be seized, and the arms and warlike stores found on board shall be detained, as well as the vessel itself, until final decision, which decision shall be regulated according to • • the gravity of the case, and the circumstances attending it. "4. My Secretary of State-despatches shall immediately communicate the present decree to all the Ambassadors, Ministers, Diplomatic Agents, and Consuls of Foreign Powers, accredited to -my beloved daughter, so that the necessary publicity be given to the measures adopted, and that those who may be disposed to act otherwise may not be ignorant of them. 5. The other Secretaries of State-despatches, each as he may be concerned, shall communicate my orders re spectively, and shall take note of contraventions, so that ray Royal decree may have full and entire effect. " You shall hold it as understood, and see to the execu tion hereof. (Signed by the Royal Hand.) " St. Ildefonso, Aug. 21. " By the Queen, " A. D. F. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, President of the Council of Ministers." BAYONNE, AUG' 26.—After all the turnings and wind ings of the faction of Navarre, they are at length fairly beaten back upon our frontier, pursued by about 15,000 or 16,000 of the Queen's troops. Will they be able to escape from these troops ? It seems unlikely ; though, after having so frequently beheld the Carlists surrounded, and yet eluding their pursuers, favoured by the mountains and defiles which cover the face of the country, we shall await the result. It is also certain that Don Carlos him self, escorted by the sth battalion, is hotly pursued by Jauregui, who is' marching with all expedition on Tugui, where the Pratend'er *as staying on the 24th. Rodil, , with the principal. portion of the force, is in pursuit of Zumalacs.rregn ,tl?n7naa tlaitr -himself upon Roneesvalles and Espinal. , If thq rebels do not fall upon some expedient to extricate themsolyo i froM the position they aro now in, a decisive action cannot he far off. Rodil has caused many persons to be arrested on the dif ferent points he has traversed. The Carlists of Biscay, who had taken refuge in Le queitio, in order that they might defend themselves to more advantage, had mounted in battery two four-pounders. Nevertheless, the place was carried by Espartero, the Queen's General. Copy of the contract between the Spanish Government and the house of M. Ardoin. " The undersigned Don Jose Maria Quespo de Llano, Conde de Toreno, of the Council of State and Secretary of State for the Department of Finance, authorized by the Royal orders of her Majesty the Queen Regent, in confor mity with the opinion of the Council of Regency and Council of Ministers. " And M.A. Ardoin, banker in Paris, in his own name and in that of his copartners, have agreed on the following conditions. Art. 1. M. Ardoin obliges himself to advance to the Royal Treasury of her Majesty the Queen 12,000,000 reals monthly, beginning with the present month, until the Government has been authorized definitively to negotiate a loan. Nevertheless, this anticipation is not to extend 'beyond four months, beginning with the current month of auly, and is therefore not to exceed 48,000,000 reals. "'2. Betides the monthly anticipations specified in the first article, M. Ardoin obliges himself to reimburse the :Mes s rs. Rothschild,"brothers, of Paris, the sum of 60,000,000 reale advanced by that house to the Spanish Government, for the payment of the six Months' dividends due. in Paris on the Ist inst., together with the interest and commission connected with that transaction. It is nevertheless agreed, that if the loan to be contracted by the Cortes and the Government shall be effected with any company not repre sented by M. Ardoin, the repayment of the above-mentioned 60,000,000 reals shall no longer be at the charge of the said M. Ardoin. " 3. These two species of anticipation shall be effected in exchange for bonds of the Royal Treasury, at six and nine months' date, at 5 per ce n t. i nterest . Th ese b on d s shallbe gi i pa i s t et i in pounds sterling, with ca pit a l an d inte rest. They are to he received in payment o f th e fi rs t l oan contracted by the SfAnish Government. " 4. The payment' of these bonds, both capital and in terest, or their adiniesion in the next loan, is secured to the holders of them in Cortes bonds, of which the house of Ar doin will render an account to the Spanish Government. and will, in the hands of those gentlemen, be specially ap plied to the present guarantee. This determination is not in any way to injure these bonds, nor to affect whatever the Cortes may resolve in relation thereto. "5. The payment of 12,000,000 reels monthly, stipu lated in the first article, shall be made in bills of exchange of Madrid on London, or in draughts frOm London on Madrid, or in remittances of ingots of gold or bars of silver, which shall be received under the conditions stipulated in the old agreements, deducting 2 per cent. for charges of negotiation, carriage, and other expenses. " 6. Her Majesty's Government oblige themselves to recommend to the ensuing Cortes the interest' of the holders of the bonds of the old Spanish loans which were issued in foreign countries in the years 1820, 1821, and 1822.

One of them explains in the following manner the last movement of General Rodil The movement of Rodil is an invasion of Bastan, effected in three columns. The first column arrived on the 27th at Souhaire ; the second arrived on the same day at St. Estevan ; and Rodil himself, at the head of the third column, was to have entered on the 28th by Lezaca ; but a complete evacuation had already taken place. The junta and the sick were, on the 27th, at Aranaz.' " Another despatch states that Don Carlos is at Ronce vaux, where he arrived on the evening of the 2Gth, with three companies, and adds that three columns were to have gone from Pampeluna in pursuit of him and Zumala carregui, who is at Zubiri. " This evening (Saturday) further despatches have reached. Government. it apypars by them that Rodil, after having swept Bastan, has directed his movement; towards the valley of Roncevaux. .The junta has dispersed itself, and Carlos makes a stand in the valley. (From the Journal des Debate of Sunday.) " Don Miguel arrived at Milan on the 20th of August. He took up his abode at the hotel called Albergo Reale. In the evening he went to the Theatre of La Scala, where he became an object of groat and not very civil curiosity. The Viceroy has exchanged visits with him, but without any formality. (From the Temps of Sunday.) " The Ministers of the Germanic Confederation have taken alarm at the rejection of the war budget by the depu ties of Hesse Cassel. They maintain that the said deputies have violated the federal act, in refusing supplies for the required contingent. From thence they have proceeded to this principle, that the Constitutional Assemblies do not possess any other right over budgets than that of taking care that they be not exhausted, of examining the regularity of expenses, and the laying out of credits voted ; but that their power is not to extend so far as to curtail or refuse the amount of the budget presented. According tcrthis prin ciple, in the minor States of Germany the legislative func tions are to amount to merely those of audit courts. It is M. de Metternich who has invented this constitutional doctrine, of which no one had an idea till now ,". (From the Journal de commerce of Sunday.) SPANISH FINANCE. _ The loans contracted by the Cortes, from the 6th of No vember, 1820, to the 18th of July, 1823, are in number six. The first was by. MM. Laffitte, Ardoin, Hubbard, and Co. ; the second by national subscription ; the third by MM. Ardoin, Hubbard and Co. ; the fourth by the same parties ; the fifth by MM. Bernales and Nephew, of London ; and the sixth by MM. Campbell, Lubbock, and Co., of London. The first loan was contracted on the 6th of No- vember, 1820, for a capital in Teals vellon, of 300,000,000 Which with 150,000 billets de prime, which were added at 300 reale vellon each, amounting to 45,000,000 Make a total The second loan was contracted on the 4th of August, 1821, for a capital of reals vellon 341,380,000 Of which no more was realized than the value of, reals vellon . 103,425,000 This loan Was known by the name of the National. The third loan, called Conversion Loan, was contracted on the 22d November, 1821. The emission of rentes was indeterminate and at the option of the lenders during 18 months. They merely engaged to take rentes from. the Government, and they did take them, to the amount of 280,000,000 of reals vellon. The fourth loan was contracted on the Ist of October, 1822, for a capital o (348,000,000 of reals vellon. The fifth loan was contracted on the 15th of .Inuary, 1823, for a capital of 800,000,000 of reels vellon ; "but it was finally annulled, in consequence of the inability of the contracting parties to fulfil their engagement. _ ' The sixth and last loan was contracted on the 18th of July, 1823, for a capital of 29],600,000 reals vellon.

In virtue of the Conversion Loan, • MM. Ardoin, Hub bard, and Co., delivered to the Government obligations, ce dules, and billets de prime of anterior loans to the nominal value of 323,054,000 of reals vellon, which, deducted from the total emission, leaves the enormous sum of 2,091,167,000 emitted by the Constitutional Government in the short pe riod of 33 months. DETAIL OF EACH LOAN. First loan, contracted on the 6th of November, 1820. The capital of the loan was in 300,000,000 reals vellon, di vided into 150,000 bonds of 2,000 reals vellon each. The interest was 5 per cent., payable every six months in Madrid, and beginning to run on the Ist of November, the month already commenced. Besides the interest of 5 per cent., the Government gave an annual premium of 2 per cent., which made the interest really 7 per cent. The capital was to be repaid at par, in the space of 24 years. The price at which the contractors took the loan made therefore 30 per cent. of loss on the nominal capital, that is to say, 70 per cent. It was payable in ten equal and successive monthly portions, on the Ist of each month at the public treasury, either in bills of exchange or in ingots of gold or silver. The only exception was that the first payment was to be made on the 15th of the current month of November. There were, moreover, created 150,000 billets de prime, one for each bond. These premium bills had likewise their premium, aitd th.,ir 'value wart fixed by the Government at `3OO reals vellon for each. The junta of public credit was bound to pay the int eres t s and half-yearly premiums of th e lo an . A§long as the junta could command resources the payments were made ; but means failed. It was agreed upon with the contractors that they should take upon themselves the payment in Paris of the interests and premiums, stipulating the exchange at 5 francs 40 centimes per piaster in specie. In their subse quent accounts the contractors paid into the Treasury, as effective money, the coupons of interest and the bills of premium which they had discharged. Amidst these circumstances, in the sitting of the Cortes of the 11th of October, 1820, the Committee of Finance appointed to examine the conditions of this loan thus ex pressed itself : " When the Committee of Finance had taken into consi deration the memorial read in the Cortes by the Secretary of State for that Department, it immediately admitted the ne cessity of effecting the loan of 200,000,000 reals, which had been proposed with the view of covering the deficit between the receipt and expenditure of the public treasury. . . . The committee will proceed to the examination of the pro position which the Minister may deem preferable . . . • " The truly important point which must be kept in view is to ascertain the interest which the loan in question annu ally costs us, at 12 57-000 per cent. Nevertheless, the committee acknowledges that the interest is too high. - " All being agreed that the capital of this loan, consist ing of 15,000,000 of piasters in specie, for the term of 24 years, at the annual interest of 7 per cent., and to be reim bursed by 20ths in the last 20 years, we shall have to pay at the end of that period 30,225,000 piasters, in the fol lowing,manner :—the 15,000,000 for the reimbursement of the capital, and the 15,225,000 piasters remaining for the interest of the said capital, at the rate of 7 per cent. Those who propose this negotiation undertake the risks and perils of the sale of the actions in the foreign money-markets, un der the express condition of the Government recognising and securing them the two following articles, viz., 4,500,000 piasters in specie for the 30 per cent. of reduction, by means of which they purchase at the undertaking of the Government the 15,000,000 of actions, the capital of this loan, and 1,511,250 piasters for the commission of 5 per cent. upon 30,22.5,000 piasters in specie, the amount of the capital and interest." The Junta of Public Credit, in the exposition which it made on the 10th of May, 1832, on the scandalous result of this loan, informed us In its account NO. 1, that in addi tion to the expense of the commission, the loan had cost the Treasury the following sums :-- R. V. M. Commission to receive the proceeds at frun 281,590 23 Conveyance of the proceeds from St. Sebas tian to Madrid 149,411 5 Ditto from Barcelona in gold ... 12,236 0 Expense of the first drawing of the lottery in this capital Cost of the composition and printing of the actions and quittance,— - 409,140 32 Losses in the negotiation of the effects for the replacement of the funds of the loan 3,677,6 82 25 Another loss different from the fcirmer upon 1,750,000 francs 275,392 15 Estimated loss on 37,306,190 reals vellon 11 maravedis of draughts on the Peninsula at per cent. .. 559,592 28 For interest paid in advance before receiving the proceeds, all bonifications deducted 5,163,811 0 Loss to the mint in striking the ingots 2,866,060 0 The commission of 5 per cent. on 30,225,000 piastres, capital and interest of the loan amounting to 1,511,250 piastres in specie 30,225,000 0 Total expense of the loan 43,817,430 8 RESULT OF THE LOAN. 300,000,000 reals vellon at 70 per cent. are 210,000,000 0 Expense of the loan 43,817,430 8 Consequently there remains to the Government a net sum of 166,182,569 reals vellon 26 mara.vedis, for which it acknowledges itielf a debtor in the enormous sum of 604,.500,000 reals vellon—that is to say, that definitively this loan has produced to the Government. only 27i per cent. of nominal capital. This is the first time, undoubtedly, that a commission has ever been taken on the nominal capital of a loan, and at the same time on the interest and reimbursement, which was not to be effected until 24 years after.

HAMBURG, Arc. 29.—0 n Tuesday evening his Majesty's steamer the Lightning, Captain Allen, arrived at Hamburg with his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland and suite on board. Before leaving Liebenstien the Queen of England presented 200 ducats to the Town Council of Meiningen, towards the erection of a school-house for female children, the old building having for some years past been in a ruinous condition. Her Majesty requested this gift to be considered as a testimony of her gratitude for the cordial reception she had experienced in her native city. To the town of wasunggen her Majesty pre sented 100 ducats, which are likewise to be expended in-the erection of a school-house. Two cities in Russia have again been nearly reduced to ashes, the city of Kremenezug, in the Government of Pal lawa, and Elizabethgrad, in the Government of Chesson. In the former 93, and in the latter about 300 houses were burnt ; and even St. Petersburg itself, according to the last accounts, was enveloped in clouds of smoke, occasioned by an extensive conflagration in the neighbouring forests. BORSEN HALLE, AUG. 29.—1 n Wheat there has been little doing this week, the holders of the small parcels still afloat demanding higher prices, when, as it is known that large sup lies may be expected as soon as there is water enough in the river.

PETERS:SWUM, A - Vo 4.—Three months. 10 Srocutotm, AM. t2.—Two Maths, 122 a LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1834. We have received by" Express the whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday, the Messager des Chambres and the Journal de Paris of yesterday, together with in telligence from Madrid, dated the 25th instant. The Parisian Journals, as usual, are taken up with long accounts of royal and rebel marches, military move ments, " and all that sort of thing" *in Spain. Be tween Saturday morning and yesterday so many as three despatches were received in Paris from Madrid, in which it was officially announced that General RoDir, had entered, and swept the valley of the Bastan, with three columns, which severally arrived at Louhaire, St. Estevan, and Lezaca, on the 27th and 28th ult. ; that the troops under RoDIL then proceeded to Roncesvalles, where Don CARLOS was stationed with three companies, who immediately fled in the direction of France, leaving the QUEEN'S forces in quiet possession of the entire dis trict. We of course neither do, nor can vouch for the correctness of these statements. Half of what is re ported respecting the war in Spain cannot be relied upon, as a great part of the information is fur nished by the correspondents of the French Jour nals, who, of necessity, must depend upon what ever they can glean from stragglers and run aways from the army, and Bobadils among the officers, whose past exploits are, according to their own ac- Lutritta, a CllOU3alla LIII 4 J morc - chivalrously valorous than the projected conquests of SHAKIPEA RE'S - Cap tain and his some twenty coadjutors. Old women too, are nowsmongers, for lack of less marvellous chroniclers of the devastations of war ; and hence, perhaps, two thirds of the battles that are reported might, without a ny sacrifice of truth, be attributed to the toothless love for military glory, and the trumpetings of that g6ddess who " vires acquirit eundo." The cholera still continues to rage in various parts of Spain. It has recently broke out at Saragossa and Ildefonso. The number of victims to this terrible plague, hitherto mostly unknown in Europe, is very considerable. The arrivals from Madrid add little to the accounts given in the French papers, respecting the affairs of S pa i n . The only topic which at present engages the attention of the Chambers is the settlement of the debt, and how much of it ought to be considered binding on the nation. The greater part of the members are believed to be favourable to the adoption of a very liberal view of so much of it as was contracted with foreigners, though a very large number indeed are for the rejection of all but the Cortes Bonds. Our opinion of the justice of Spain paying off, at any sacrifice, the whole of the debt, by w homsoever contracted, was so strongly and fully ex pressed in The Sun of yesterday, that we consider it unnecessary to say more, than that we hold it impos sible for, any circumstance, save that of inability to p a y, to cause us to deviate from the sentiments we have already expressed on that head. Spain cannot, without- ruin to herself, refuse the payment of her debtS, v vhether contracted by King or Cortes—whether, contracted for the purpose of liberating or enslaving her people. The very men who are now members of the Chambers were most of them as active and as efficient members of society in 1824, when the Royal loans-began to be projected and contracted, as they are at this moment, and that was the time for them to have protested against the unconstitutionality of the acts of FERDINAND. Besides, they must reason in sheer ig norance of the merc an til e , wor ld, if t h ey suppose that by refusing to recognize the Royal loans, they can inflict suffering on the bonaficle loan-contractors. The money jobbers—the men who open their coffers at the call of a Government—are too cunning to be caught in snares thus carelessly set. They take good care that the suffering and the loss, whatever they amount to, shall be borne by merchants actively engaged in trade, and industrious citizens, who scramble up something by way of a sheet-ancho r in distress, which they imme diately invest in the funds. This forms the great secret of national debt, and includes the great danger of touching it with a dishonest hand. And yet how few of those who rave about a national bankruptcy, seem to understand the smallest particle of the details and ramifications of this great question ? How few seem to be at all aware that an act of national bankruptcy would only trench upon the luxuries of the rich, through the intermediate ruin of the whole of the indus trious classes and small capitalists of any - country in which such an act would be perpetrated ? We have received various communications from COrrespondents, - stating, that in our remarks .of Mon day and `Wednesday last, on the evidence and reports of the CoMmittees on the private business of . the House of Commons, we omitted noticing an important part of the abuse which exists in that branch of the business, and which is the impropriety of allowing the clerks of the House to continue to solicit Private Bills, and to act as agents for parties promoting and opposing them. Mr. GUEST'S Committee of 1833 strongly objected to this practice, yet nothing seems to have been done towards its correction, although it cannot fail to surprise all those who have attended or have any knowledge of Committees on Private Bills, (except the_ persons imme diately interested in the jobbing part of it), to see the time of many of the clerks of both Houses chiefly occupied in acting as agents for and against Private Bills. They not only do this, but use their influence with Members to vote on the side which they are feed to support, instead of attending to the proper official duties of their situations, for the per formance of which they are well and even extrava gantly paid out of the public purse, and that too for giving those facilities and that information to the pub lic for which they, in addition to their salaries, charge exorbitantly as private agents, and thereby increase their incomes in some cases beyond the salary of the Speaker, and even of the Prime Minis ter I Indeed, *the length to which this practice has been allowed to be carried on is not only highly preju dicial to the fair course of this branch of the business of the House, but also disgraceful to the enlightened character which a Reformed House ought to establish and uphold. The abuses of a similar description which existed at the Custom-house, at the Post-office, and at the Colonial-office, have all been done away with ; but the irregularities and corruptions which exist in their own House seem to be the last which the Hon. Body of Representatives of the nation think it necessary to reform. The slightest attention to the affairs in the East must have convinced any one that the treaty entered into on the month of May last year, between the SUL TAN and the Pacha of EGYi'T, was only of a tempo rary nature, and would be broken by one of the parties on.the first convenient opportunity. Both were alike adverse to the terms, and yielded to them from neces sity. The PORTE yielded because she saw no hopes of contending with the army of IBRAHIM PACHA after the battle of Koniah, and MEHEMET ALI was forced to stop short in his career of victory, because he despaired of fighting Turkey, backed, as she then was, by a Russian fleet and army. Since that period, however, he has not been idle. He has quelled the insurrection in Syria ; and, by yielding to the wishes as well as the prejudices of the inhabitants of the newly-ceded provinces, has rendered them so far favourable to his Government, that in all pro bability his army will be allowed to march against the SULTAN without hindrance. And what will be the result ? Precisely the same as that of the contest in 1832. Neither the army nor the fleet of the SUL TAN has the slightest chance of success against the veteran army and well-equipped fleet of the PACHA of Egypt. The former are inferior in almost every re spect, but more especially in officers and discipline, to the latter; and nothing but the blind rage of the SUL TAN, encouraged by the insidious designs of Russia, could force him to try again so unequal a contest. If the two powers were left to themselves, IBRAHIM PACHA would be on the shores of the Dardanelles in six months, and in less than that period after wards would make himself master of Constantinople. Considering his enterprising character—the disaffection which prevails against the SULTAN from his partiality to Russia—and the vast superiority of the Egyptian troops; that is a question of which there could be no F c;;side doubt. Chit any vile then mistake 'the mo tives of Russia in urging the renewal•- of the contest, qr hesitate as to the course which France and England ought to take ? Russia's object is to plunge the SUL TAN into greater difficulties, in order that, in return for assistance, some new vantage ground may be ob tained for taking possession of the capital ; and the obvious policy of these countries is to prevent this. It would be greatly for the advantage of England if an efficient Government, such as that of MEHEMET ALI, were established at Constantinople, because it would form one of the strongest barriers in that quarter against the encroachments of Russia ; but at present that is out of the question. The Emperor NICHOLAS is too much interested in the dispute to stand by with a vast army unemployed, and see the fall of Constantinople, and would exert all his strength to protect the SULTAN from invasion. England and France, therefore, must be guided by the present juncture of affairs. The former has a fleet of six sail of the line, with nine or ten smaller vessels, in that quarter ; and negociations, backed by such a fleet, together with the French fleet, ready to sail from Toulon, would be sufficient to bring the two parties to reason, without allowing Russia that preponderance in the transaction which our negligence or mistaken policy gave her on the former occasion.

MAYENCE, Ave. 20.—When her Majesty the Queen of England arrived here a few days ago, she did not lodge, pro bably through mere mistake, in the hotel where apartments were bespoke for her, but in the steam-boat, which was ready for her. Apartments for her Majesty and numerous suite had been fitted up in the most splendid manner in the new hotel, the Reinisch Hof, and kept two days for her. Her Majesty seems not to have known that they had been bespoke, for im mediately on her arrival she gave orders to drive to the Three Crowns, where she lodged when Duchess of Clarence, and there not being room, as no orders had been given, she would not go to the other hotel, which is a very good one, but had been bespoke without her consent, and preferred sleeping on board the steam-boat. Probably from being fatigued, the Queen declined receiving the compliments of the civil and military authorities. On her arrival and departure she was saluted by the guns on the ramparts. The bill at the Rheinisch Hof, where her Majesty's suite and servants lodged, was not reduced in consequence of the alteration in the Queen's lodg ing. This led to a difference between the hostess and the in tendant of the Royal household, which was not settled even after henNlajesty's departure.—Frankfort_Papers, Aug. 27.
