GERMAN PAPERS. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. s.—Within these few days there have been several meetings of the Divan, after which the Dragoman of the Porte went to the hotels of the French and English legations. It is inferred from this circum stance that important negotiations are on foot with these two Powers, respecting which, however, profound secrecy is observed. The Russian Ambassador seems to pay much attention to the frequent interviews of the Reis Effendi with the representatives of France and England. Various reports are in circulation respecting the cause of these diplomatic movements. Among others, it is affirmed that the Ca binets of Paris and London are desirous of concluding, on their part, a convention with the Porte, which may serve as a counterpoise to the treaty of alliance with Russia, and the chief object of which would be to secure the integrity of the Turkish empire in its present extent. The Sultan, however, it is said, is wholly devoted to Russia ; and, so long as it depends on him, nothing will be done that can displease Russia. Besides this, he has said the late events had entirely distrusted the policy of France, which he believes to be entirely identical with the interest of Mehemet Ali. It is, therefore, not probable that the Porte will enter into any engagement with another power, which might be taken amiss at St. Petersburgh ; which, however, must be the case, if a stipulation in the spirit above-mentioned were entered into for check ing the dreaded supremacy of Russia. Meantime, active negotiations are going on, and the Plenipotentia ries of the maritime powers have certainly no object in view but to weaken the influence which the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh exercises here. But for their regard of the Sultan, for the Emperor Nicholas, they would have already succeeded ; for all the persons about the Sultan, and the 'whole Divan, are in the pay of Mehemet Ali, and his friends, Under such circumstances, the Sultan is in a preca rious situation, and exposed to many dangers. It will be difficult for him to maintain his own policy, and to remain faithful to the convention with Russia. In fact, he teems already to have shown some weak points, which the anti- Russian party had doubtless not failed to take advantage of. Several couriers have already been despatched, or are on the eve of departure, to carry information to their Courts of the state of affairs here. Our situation is therefore still very critical. The intrigues that are carried on under the Sultan's eyes, make him more and more the sport of his confidential servants. Conspiracies are carried on almost openly ; and those who ought to enforce respect to the laws are the first to set them at defiance. We are there fore not without fears of a new catastrophe. VIENNA, SECT. 20.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 92 3-8 ; Four per Cents, 821; Bank Shares, 1,192. Allgemeine Zeitung, Sept. 25. CHRISTIANA, SEPT. 6.—The Storthing that has broken up presented the following address to the King:— " Sire,—According to Sec. 3 of the Constitution, Norway has its own mercanti'e flag. It is of the highest import ance to every independent, and especially to a commercial state, that its flag, the external emblem of its national independence, should be recognised, and respected in all seas and harbours. it has, therefore, been before a sub ject of consideration with the Storthing that the claims which the Constitution gives to Norway, with respect'to its flag, cannot be considered as realised so long as the Norwegian mercantile flag is not respected by the Barbary State. This national concern has led to discussions and resolutions in former assemblies of the Storthing, as the humble addresses presented by them show, but hitherto without leading to the desired result. Late political events, which have made a great change in the relations of the Barbary States to the European Powers, afford the present Storthing new and important reasons for again addressing your Majesty on this National affair. The Storthing, therefore, takes the liberty of re questing your Majesty, in case the Norwegian mercantile flag, not being every where respected, should be further excluded from the Mediterranean or any other sea, to lay before the next Storthing as accurate a statement as possi ble of the obstacles which may still burden the freedom of our flag, accompanied by a specific estimate of the sums which might be necessary for the accomplishment of the fundamental law in this respect, and of the wishes of the nation.—Frankfort Papers, Sept. 2 4. LOSS OF THE EARL OF WEMYSS SMACK. —Lord Melbourne, with a promptitude that doc; his Lordship infinite credit, upon a memorial from the relatives of those who perished on board the Earl of Wemyss smack, has directed a most rigid inquiry into the circumstances under which that lamentable affair occurred. The resident Magistrates, we understand, are to assemble this day for that purpose. The relatives have left town with Mr. Ashurst, their solicitor, to attend the investigation, which has excited the deepest interest in that part of the country (Brancaster). Too much praise cannot be given to the magistrates for the promptitud e and zeal they have shown upon this lamen table occasion. MELANCHOLY EVENT.—A respectable gen tleman, nam e d D av i es, of the firra of Davies and Co., ex tensive oil-merchants and drysalters, in Liverpool, com mitted suicide at Brampton, on Fridayby week, cutting his throat. The unf ortunate man was in the habit of travelling for orders in the way of business and arrived at Brampton on the Monday. previous. He appeared to be much agitated, and . indeed in . a somewhat deranged state of mind, from the time of his reaching . that place, b u t no apprehension was entertained of . his committing the dread ful deed by which be . lost his life. intelligence of of the de ceased, to whose family immediate . of the me lancholy event was sent, arrived at Brampton on Sunday from Liverpool, and bad the body conveyed to the latt er Place in a hearse. The deceased was about forty years of age, of a pleasant and lively disposition, was well known to many individuals in this city and neig hbourhood, and much respected as a tradesman. The result of t he Coro ner's Inquest, which was held on Saturday, was a ver dict of 44 Insanity.".— Carlisle Journal. 'J . '', :;,;4 - 'at rite tft. A ; L LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1833. No official accounts have been received by the vessel which arrived yesterday from Lisbon. It appears certain, however, that the Lord of the Isles steamer has been captured by the Consti_ tutionalists, after having landed her stores and the French officers who were on board. It is also known that another, if not two more vessels in the service of the Miguelites, have been taken and carried into the Tagus. It is reported that there was a battle on the 14th, which terminated in favour of the Pedroites ; but if this was the case, the affair could not have been one of much importance, as no information of it was brought by the Orestes, which left Oporto on the 18:h inst., and by which accounts from Lisbon of the 16th might have been received. It is not pro. bable that Don PEDRO would have refrained from sending an account to Oporto of any vic tory of consequence. We understand that several of the inhabitants of the parish of St. Pancras had a meeting last night, for the purpose of forming an association to indemnify the members for any losses that they may sustain in resisting the payment of assessed taxes. There are now many associa tions of this kind in London, and as the ex ample may be followed, it is probable that the Government may adopt measures to prevent the object for which they have been established. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER can not, however, be insensible to the conviction which presses upon the minds of other men, that the most effectual way of preventing com binations, which are calculated to impede the collection of the revenue, would be so to improve the mode of imposing taxes, and at the same time to diminish the expenditure to meet which taxation is necessary, that no man of right feeling would join in an association avowedly formed for the purpose of resisting taxation. Every attempt to collect the revenue by force must, if the impost be generally ob noxious, be attended with a loss of moral influ ence to the Government, and in the end, whatever may have been the apparent suc cess of a resort to such means of collection during the use of coercive means, the public will be sure to beat the Government. That as sociations of this kind should be formed is with us a source of regret, inasmuch as it shows that the nation at large has not that con fidence in the general professions of Ministers which it would have had if efforts had been made to obtain it. At the same time, how ever, we would recommend a little forbearance, in order to give the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER one more opportunity of introducing, as of his own free will, an improvement in the mode of imposing taxes, and enforcing upon his colleagues the importance of reduction in every department, so as to render it easy to reduce the present heavy burden of taxation. Our readers will recollect that the Bishop of .LONDON, and other hardy assarters of the im maculate virtue of the Clergy, took upon them selves, without the slightest evidence worth a straw, to contradict the statements made in Parliament, towards the close of last session, respecting the number of persons who had been proceeded against in England on account of tithes. We were much amused at the time with the affected horror of the holy tribe at its being supposed that any of their body could become persecutors " on their own account." The good worthy souls only instituted the suits complained of for " the benefit of their successors," and if any vexatious proceedings had been instituted, they were by lay impropriators. Some of these assertions were put at rest at the time, others have been since completely refuted, and we have now before us a tardily printed return of pro ceedings in one Court of one county only, which would of itself be sufficient to throw ridicule upon the clerical claim to excessive moderation. It is entitled, " A Return of the Names of the Parishes, respecting the Tithes of which Suits were commenced in the Court of Chan cery of the County Palatine of Lancaster, in each of the three Years of the Period commencing 16th August, 1830, and ending 16th August, 1833 ; with the Number of the Defendants in each Parish, and the Dates when those Suits were instituted." By this document, it appears that in the first of these years only one suit was instituted, to which there were three defendants. In the second year, the Chancery Court of the County of Lancaster had no bills whatever filed for the recovery of tithes. The Act of Parliament, which was intended to preserve this peaceful state of things, by at once extinguishing ail obsolete claims, having passed, a part of the Clergy of the county took advantage of the unfortunate clause which allowed them, within a certain time, to set up these claims, by the filing of eighty-five different bills, to which no less than 1,319 persons were defendants. Of eight plain tiffs six have " reverend " placed before their names. There may be excuses for the conduct of the laymen concerned in advancing even ob solete claims upon what is to them, for the mos t part, hereditary property ; but what valid excuse can be urged by the preachers of peace and good will, for stirring up animosities long for gotten, we cannot imagine. The names of the parties who have filed the bills against the 1,319 farmers of Lancashire are, the Rev. JOHN PED DER of Claughton, in the parish of Garstano• b • the Rev. GARDNOR BALDWIN, of the parish of Leyland ; THOMAS CLAYTON, Esq., and others, of the parish of Rufford ; the Rev. ED WARD MASTER, of the parish of Rufford ; the Rev. WM. GREEN ORRETT, of the parish of Standish ; the Rev. Wm. YATES, of the parish of Eccleston ; the Rev. JOSEPH ROWLEY, of the chapelry of Statnime ; and THOMAS RICH MOND GALE BRADDYLL, Esq., of the rectory of Ulverston. May they learn discretion German Papers mention a report to the effect that France and England are busily engaged at Constantinople, in the endeavour to conclude a convention with the Porte, which may serve as a counterpoise to the treaty of al- !lance with Russia. The SULTAN, however, is said to be still devoted to Russian interests. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) HAY MARKETS.—( A t per Load of 36 Trusses.) CUMBERLAND.

John Harris, one of the swell mob, was indicted for stealing a great coat, the property of Mr. E. Gregory. The prosecutor deposed that he went down to Enfield races with a party of friends on the 18th September last. He had his great coat with him, and on one occasion left the carriage and the coat on the box. He returned in a very few minutes, when he found that it had been taken away. Edward Churchill, a groom, said he saw the prisoner take the coat away and run with it into one of the booths. Witness rave information to the police, who pursued him and took him into custody with the coat in his possession. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Court sentenced him to be transported for 7 years. A number of other prisoners were tried for very trifling offences, and sentenced to various short terms of I. prisonment. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, The only arrival this morning of any consequence is from Calcutta, of the 28th May, by which we learn that the Indiamen driven on shore in the Bengal River, in the hurricane of the 22d, remain in the same state. Few lives have been lost, with the exception of some of the natives. Up to the present hour we have no further information from Portugal. The report of a second attack by Bour mont o❑ Lisbon, with his defeat, does not gain credit in the City. THE FUNDS.

HALF-PAST O.2VE. There being no further arrivals from Portugal to the present time, we have been endeavouring to trace the reported attack on Lisbon of the 14th to some authentic source, but to no effect. Although, as we stated before, that letters from Lisbon of the 17th mentioned it, it is now generally discredited on 'Change by the well informed. Had it taken place on the above date, the Orestes, which arrived from Oporto and sailed on the 18th inst., might have brought the important account of the defeat of Bourmont, as well as a letter we have seen brought by the Lord Nelson from Lisbon of the 17th ; therefore, if any fighting took place on the 14th, we have no doubt it was only some skirmishing. Consuls are rather heavy, owing to a sale of 150,000 reduced, and 70,000 Consols for the Account ; they have receded from 881 for the Account to 88i 4, Portuguese Scrip 20 to 4 premium.

BLACKWOOD'S 211AGAZINE.—P4RT Old Christopher this month is father of twins —a prodigious feat for a gentleman of his years. Each is a lusty bantling, and roars with the lungs of a young Hercules. " Morning Mo nologues " is a pleasant, sketchy article, whose chief defect is, that it has no fixed aim or purpose. It is anything or nothing, just as the reader pleases. " Who is born ?" contains one or two touching passages. The episode of " Mervyn," though the incidents are hackneyed, is told with considerable feeling. " Edmund Burke " is eloquent and, as usual, indis criminate in its praise and censure. Facts are no stumbling-blocks in the way of the author. He clears them at a leap with as much indifference as a sportsman clears a five-barred gate. Alluding to the London riots of 1780, he observes, with infinite naivete, that they occurred just at the proper time ; " were placed in the exact point of usefulness." Had they occurred ten years before, then the " recollection would partially have faded away ;" had they occurred ten years later, then they " would have made a parallel revolution in England." What a consolation, in these times of atheism, revolution, and all enormity, to reflect that an English mob is gifted with such a fine sense of discrimination. That they are Utilitarians in their very atrocities, and never kick up a row except "in the exact point of usefulness !" Surely nothing dangerous can ever result from the outbreakings of such a considerate mob ! Fur ther on, Mr. Croly says, recurring to his fa vourite theme, the French Revolution, that the storming of the Bastile fell, unexpectedly, like a thunder-bolt on Europe. We are surprised at his hazarding an assertion like this. So far from its taking Europe by surprise, not a man of the slightest discernment but was fully pre pared for such an event. The storm had been brewing for months : the whole horizon was charged with electricity ; what, then, but the fall of the " bolt" could be looked for ? From the moment the States General were assembled, and Turgot had made his exposee of the state of the national finances—an exposee which all but distracted a people now, for the first time fo r centuries, conscious of their power, and irre sistible in the might of their newly-awakened energies—from that moment the Bastile, which was connected with so many frightful associations of lettres de cachet and other despotic enormi ties, was doomed to destruction. " Barbadoes'' is a delightful criticism, in which the peculiarities of old Grainger are pointed out in a caustic vein of ridicule. " Montgomery's (not Robert but James) West Indies," too, are noticed en pas sant, and a few extracts given from that fine, though somewhat too gaudy, poem. One pas sage strikes us as being worthy to vie in vigour with the most spirited portions of Dryden's " Theodore and Honor'a." The last line is particularly striking : " The Indian, as he turned his head in flight, Beheld his cottage flaming thro' the night; And, 'midst the shrieks of murder on the wind, Heard the mute blood hound's death-step close behind." The word mute " here is full of meaning. The Sketcher " is clever, but too elaborate. The writer has a fine eye for the picturesque, but he is too fond of showing off' his "learned lore" in the Fine Arts. He spoils hii best thoughts by overlaying them with verbiage. " Nights at Mess" furnishes us with a capital specimen of character—and not without some pretensions to originality—in the person of a fat, old, sentimental quarter-master. " America, No. 2," is distinguished by an inveterate hostility to everything transatlantic. It is high time Christopher should outgrow this prejudice. .P.IBT 11. " The Irish Union" professes to be a review of Sir Jonah Barrington's late history of that event, but takes leave of its subject at the threshold, that is to say, at the close of the first paragraph, and runs into a violent tirade against Ireland and all its appurtenances. Still the article is amusing, especially in that portion where it comments on the old favourite practice of duelling. Irish politicians once fought their way to place, as London aldermen now eat their way to the mayoralty. " Perhaps the annals of the world cannot produce a parallel to the following gazette of Irish belligerency. " Fitzgibbon, the Attorney-General, Afterwards Chan cellor, and Earl of Clare, fought Curran, afterwards Master of the Rolls, with twelve inch pistols. "Scott, afterwards Chief Justice of the King's Bench, and Earl of Clonmell, fought Lord Tyrawly about his wife, and the Earl Landaff about his giver, and others, with sword and pistol, on tniscellaneous subjects. " Egan, Judge of the county of Dublin, fought the Master of the Rolls, Barret, and three others, one with the sword. Egan was a humorist, and his duel with Barret was characteristic. On the combatants taking their ground, Barret, though the challenger, immediately fired, and missing his antagonist, walked away, coolly saying, ' Egan, now my honour is satisfied.' The Judge, how ever, who was not satisfied, called out, ' Halloo, stop, Roger, till I take a shot at your honour.' Roger returned, and with the same composure, said, Very well, fire away.' Jack Egan presented, and seemed by his motions determined to finish Roger ; at length be cried out, ' Pho, pho, I won't humour you I won't be bothered shooting you. So now you may go to the your own way—or shake hands, whichever you like best.' The finale may be anticipated. The circumstance took place on the celebrated ground of Donnybrook fair, and some hundreds of amateurs were present. " The Right Hon. Isaac Corry, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, fought the Right Hon. Henry Grattan, a Privy Counsellor, and leader of the Opposition. The Chancellor was hit. He also fought two others. " Metge, Baron of the Exchequer, fought his brother in_law, and two others. " Lord Norbury, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, fought Fire-eater Fitzgerald, and two others, muzzle to muzzle, and frightened Napper Tandy, and several be sides. Napper was neer being hanged for running away ! Pistoling was notoriously one of Lord Norbury's talents. It was an element of his promotion ; the wits said, allud ing at once to the means and the rapidity of his rise, that be shot up into preferment. " Duigenan, Judge of the Prerogative Court, Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College, and the well-known ants gonist of the Popish claims, fought one barrister, and came to the ground with another. Grady, the first Counsel to the Revenge, fought Maher and Campbell, barristers, and others —very stout work. " Curran, Master of the Rolls, fought Lord Bucking hamshire, Chief Secretary, because he would not dismiss an obnoxious public officer. Hutchison, Provost of Dublin College, and a Privy Counsellor, fought Doyle, a Master in Chancery (elder brother of the distinguish e d Si r John Doyle). t oneice of of Th e e Common mw with the n s w Pleas, o r fought , three Patterson, country gentlemen,Justice wounded all of them. " Ogle, a Privy Counsellor, the Orange chieftain, fought Barny Coyle, a whisky-di st ill er , b ecause h e was a Papist. In this duel the remarkable good or ill luck prevailed, that the combatants fired four brace of pistols, without stop or say, yet without hitting each other. But the combat was not altogether without consequence ; for one of Ogle's seconds broke It's arm by stumbling into a potatoe trench! Ogle was a man of great personal elegance and accomplish ment, but a furious fighter, remarkably high ; and his condescension in attempting to extinguish the unfortunate whisky-distiller must have arisen entirely from his equally furious spirit of party." " Hymns of Life," are in Mrs. Heman's most polished style. They are, however, somewhat too cloying and monotonous. This lady abso lutely surfeits us with sweets. " British Tro pical Colonies" is one of Mr. M'Queen's heaviest and most deliberate statistical inflictions. The " fat weed that rots on Lethe's wharf" is nothing compared with it in dulness. " France in 1833" is evidently the production of a keen, clear-headed, far-sighted observer. He gives a deplorable picture of the present condition of the King of the barricades, who, it seems, is only kept on his throne by the shud dering recollections that the National Guard still entertain of the Reign of Terror. Thus the first French revolution is working out a striking moral lesson. " Marshal Ney's Memoirs," is a critical notice, chiefly interesting from its extracts, which are well selected. " Thoughts upon Beards," are heavy and cumbrous. From the title, we expected a smart, flighty essay, from the versatile pen of Professor Wilson, instead of which we have a trite, learned dissertation, which better suits the staid, grave dulness of the Classical Journal than the roystering humour of Blackwood. " English Cathedral Establish ments" contains some forcible writing. A bene ficed pen has evidently been at work upon it. FRA SER' S MAGAZINE. This is scarcely a number of average merit, though it contains one or two peppery articles, and an extravaganza worthy of O'Doherty. The various contributions have been too hastily se lected—" pitchforked" into the Magazine with out sufficient regard to appositeness. " Taylor's History of the Civil Wars in Ireland " should have been inserted at least two years ago, when the history was published. It is now as much out of place and season as a full-bottomed wig in the dog-days at the Adelphi. " Autobio graphy of a Scottish Borderer" is passable ; but, to be more intelligible, should be translated into English. The Scotch brogue iv quite perplexing, even to one accustomed to the fine Doric dialect of a Daudie Dinmont. "On the French Peer age, Ancient and Modern," is another unsea sonable historiette. The book which it professes to review was published at least three years since, and created some little stir at the time. The matter, however, of this essay redeems it. " Gallery of Literary Characters" contains a memoir, together with a portrait, of Miss Lan don. The memoir is more flattering than the likeness. The lmprovisatrice does not squint. " Persian Women" is a graceful, agreeable bit of gossiping. But who could fail to be agree able on such a subject ? It would extract vivacity from a gate-post. " Celebrated Trials of the Nineteenth Century," is an elaborate his tory of a late Parisian murder ; but, after the late scientific displays of a Burke and a Bishop, we are become fastidious in such matters. Homi cide, without some supplemental atrocity added to it by way of rider, is as insipid to an English palate, as a Michaelmas goose without season ing. "B u 1 wer—Westmacott— Cobbett—John Wood, of Preston, and others," contains some admirable extracts from one of Cobbett's late Registers, in which the grim old savage of Bolt court attacks the Morning Chronicle, and Mr. Wood, of Preston, in a style of irresistible outrageousness. Cobbett's abuse is the very picturesque of blackguardism : he interlards it too with homely sketches of rural life that none but Morland or Gainsborough can equal. What can be finer in its way (we say nothing of its propriety) than his comparison of Wood, of Preston, with a yard-hog lying " snug in beans" and taking special care not to grunt, lest his " prog" be taken away from him. Or what is racier than his sneer at Black, of the Morning Chronicle,who,"by a long series of tackings-about and of dulness, has at last brought the poor old Chronicle to that point, at which the Doctors usually say, You may let her take just what she pleases ?' " We do not hold with the truth of this sarcasm, but it is very piquant and amusing. " On Yeomanry Cavalry," is a capital quiz on a late West Kent Review. We sub join a specimen : " Inspection over, the line broke into open column of half squadrons, and marched past in review order ; and very well they looked—for yeomanry. The ranks, at a walk, were tolerably well kept, no man being at any time more than two yards and a half out of his proper place. Trotting past was also tolerably well performed—the troopers riding with the foot well home in the stirrup, and rising thereon with infinite grace and comfort. But cantering past beat anything I ever saw—the different troops moving with all the regularity and compactness of a flock of sheep. ' Hurra !' shouted a fox-hunting lieutenant, as he spurred his hunter forward, and passed a fat innkeeper, who was kicking the sides of a lean post horse—perhaps not _ ' Right glad to miss The lumbering of the wheels.' ' Yoicks ! forward !' cried old Joe, the whipper-in. ' Hark to him ! bark ! hark !' roared Harry Oxenden, thinking of old times. Silence in the ranks, gentlemen !' called out the adjutant, a steady old file from the Ennis killeners ; " you are not huntsmen !' "At length the halt' was sounded, and the troopers gradually regained their prescribed positions. " The finest thing I ever saw !' said the venerable lord lieutensnt to the colonel. Quite animating !' returned the latter. ' Mural crowns should adorn the brows of each and every one of them,' observed Lady ➢lathe matico. " The sword exercise was then performed ; and, by a special and most merciful dispensation of Providence, no damage was done by the troopers to each other, though one horse bad hi s ear cut o ff, an d two ot h ers were s h arp l y pricked in their rumps. A few simple manceuvres were gone through afterwards, and really not so badly done as I expected. To be sure, one man's elf) fell to the ground with the owner's head in it ; the fox hunting lieutenant's horse ran aw,iy with him right across the country, clearing hedge, brook, and gate, with vast success, until he stopped at his own stable; and the fat innkeeper was so exhausted, that he was obliged to pull up in the middle of a charge, and go off to a refreshment booth, erected on the ground, for a glass of cold gin and water, to enable him to get through the remainder of his work." NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. The article in this number that will excite the most curiosity is Mr. Grattan's Recollections of Kean, of which, we regret to state, spleen is the chief characteristic. God help poor Kean, if his future biographer rates him as soundly as his present ! We know he was far from immacu la t u e ol ;but t o why t h e take w a y s , o t o m i u m c h p r e p s a s i n o s n , w ou hy r li gic/ 0in605 m that he was sunk chin deep in the lowest abyss of debauchery ? It is not generous, Hr. Grattan: A man of your intellectual attain ment should be above such conduct. But such is tiles world. When the old lion is dead, e e l $ : 0 thinks he may have a kick at him. The "I's for Mr. Grattan's spleen is obvious, an d t o to do him justice—he makes no attemp t conceal it.
