Admiral Williams and the Marquis of Rezendi into the presence of the Queen. Her Majesty and the Duchess, who were already dressed for their intended voyage, received them most graciously. There were also, exclusive of the deputation, present on the oc• casion Mr. Miranda, Ex-Minister of War ; Mr. Faria, Charge d'Affaires at the Court of Copen hagen ; Mr. J. F. Pinto, Mr. D. Pinto, and many other distinguished Portuguese. Mr. Marreco having been appointed speaker to the deputation, read in an animated and feeling manner the following addresses to the Queen and to the Duchess of Braganza, of which translations are subjoined : " ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN OF PORTUGAL. " Senhora,—We this day appear in the presence of your Maj, , sty, to offer for ourselves and in the name of all the loyal Portuguese resident in London, our congratulations on your Majesty's auspicious journey through England, on your way to Portugal, and to renew the homage and solemn oath of fealty which by us never have been forgotten or dishonoured. " Your Majesty is about to behold, for the first time, Portugal, the cradle of the august House of Braganza ; that Portugal once so flmrishing, but which the deeds of usurpation and furious despotism have now lacerated and converted into a heap of ruins ! But there is to be seen the noble city of Oporto, which, if more fortunate than Saguntum and Numantia, has only perhaps so been because it displayed more constancy and valour. However, from the excellent natural character and generous feelings of our Queen, we Portuguese expect much ; as also from that school of unmerited adversity which hitherto has not spared even the daughters of Kings ; and our hopes are indeed reanimated, when we reflect that the great dis cretion of your Majesty is to be aided by the wisdom of the nation united in Cortex, according to the constitu tional charter, which we all swear to defend as the most precious jewel which could have been presented to us by your Majesty's august father, the restorer of our liberties. That charter is the best bulwark for the protection of your :Majesty's throne ; for with the charter your throne fell, and with the charter alone can it be raised up. " Senhora, —Your Majesty must have observed the happiness enjoyed by states which are governed by con stitutional codes, and now you are going to learn how wretched is the country which is crushed by the sceptre of tyranny ; you are going to see a people who have bled from every vein, and who have, at the expense of im mense sacrifices of life and property, succeeded in restor ing their amiable Queen. Assuredly never did king or queen receive such proofs of affection and loyalty as your Majesty has from the Portuguese people; but we are also confident that your Majesty knows how to respond thereto, and that, the public evils being adjusted, you will render our country a most prosperous kingdom. These are the prayers which we put up, Senhora. " The Portuguese Constitutionalists, and your Majesty's faithful subjects, " FRANCISCO IGNACIO VANZELLER, President. ANTONIO JOAQUIM FREIRE MA RRECO, Secretary. " (In the name of the Portuguese who signed the original.) " London, Sept. 12." " ADDRESS TO THE DUCHESS OF BRAGANZ A. " Senhora,—The Portuguese resident in London, over joyed, happy, and full of the best hopes, appear before your Imperial Majesty to offer their felicitations and con. gratulations on account of the time having arrived when, after so long an absence, your Imperial Majesty is about to return to your august consort, the Emperor, to find him safe and in rood health, and almost entirely relieved from the dangers and labours of the wsr which has been car ried on for the restoration and consolidatio❑ of the liber ies which he had granted us. "Your Imperial Majesty may be assured of the great interest and sympathy generated in all Portuguese hearts as well by our great virtues and qualities, as by the glo rious recollections of the truly noble stem whence you are descended. They therefore all ardently desire the conti nued prosperity of your Imperial Majesty. " May it please your Imperial Majesty graciously to ac cept the unbounded respect and profound veneration which are entertained for the csgust person of your Imperial Majesty, in common with all Portuguese, by " Your Imperial Majesty's most obedient servants, " FRANCISCO IGNACIO VANZELLER, President. " ANTONIO JOAQUI3I FREIRE MA RRECO, Secretary. " (In name of the Pot tuguese who signed the original.) " London, Sept. 12. 1833." The Duchess of Braganza then read the following answers, in the name of the Queen Donna Maria, and in her own name, to the addresses presented to them : " In the name of her Most Faithful Majesty Donna Maria 11., I can assure the gentlemen composing the de putation of the Portuguese resident in London that her Most Faithful Majesty sees them with the greatest satis faction assembled in her august presence, and thanks them cordially for the congratulations which they offer on the occasion of this her most happy passage through England for Portugal, and accepts from her heart the homage and the tender of a fidelity never yet su'lied. " I can also state to them, that her Most Faithful Majesty knows that the abolition of the Constitutional Charter, which her august father granted to the Portu guese nation, was the primary object of the foreign machinations which fo:nented and spirited on the usurpa tion of the Portuguese throne, and that she is fully persuaded by the painful experience of what has occurred, that the reinstatement of the Constitutional Charter, and the full restitution to the Portuguese nation of their ancient rights and privileges, can alone insure the prospe rity of the nation, and the stability of the throne, thus based on the reciprocal love of the Soveteign and the people. " Signed, in the name of the Queen, " AMELIA, Duchess of Braganzi. " Portsmouth, Sept. 16." " In my own name I accept, and very sincerely thank you for the felicitations which the gentlemen composing the deputation of the Portuguese resident in London offer me on the time having arrived, after so long an absence, of my seeing again my august husband safe and in good health, and almost free from the perils and privations to which he has so gloriously exposed himself, to reconquer liberty for the Portuguese nation, and to restore to the throne the legitimate Sovereign—his august daughter. " It is flattering in the extreme to me to receive the assurance which the gentlemen composing the deputation give me, that I have merited the interest and sympathy of all Portuguese hearts on the grounds alleged in the address. My heart does not entertain a stronger wish, nor feels any other ambition, than that of witnessing the tranquillity and prosperity of the Portuguese nation, considering that these great results are owing to the loyalty of the people, as well as to the heroism of my august husband and of his valiant and never_to-be-sufficiently praised companions in arms, who constitute the liberating force of the country. " DONNA AMELIA, Duchess of Braganza. " Portsmouth, Sept. 16." The different members of the deputation were then introduced, and they severally took the oath of fealty snd allegiance to her Majesty the Queen of Portugal ; they were also introduced to the Duchess of Braganza, and kissed hands. The deputation then retired. At two o'clock precisely the Queen and the Duchess of Braganza entered the carriage in waiting for them, accompanied by Sir Thomas Williams and Sir .1. Whateley. They proceeded to the King's stairs, through a line of soldiers, who re ceived them with military honours as they passed along. In a second carriage followed some of the Ladies of Honour, with the infant daughter of the Duchess of Braganza. On alighting at the King's Stairs, they were received with cheers by the crowds assembled there, and the band struck up the Constitutional Hymn. Sir Thomas Williams con ducted the young Queen, and Sir J. Whateley conducted the Duchess of Braganza ' to the Ad miral's barge, which immedi ate l y put off to the Soho. The Queen's band, which was on board the Soho, played the Constitutional Hymn as the Queen and Duchess ascended th e vesse l. They there took lea ve of Sir Thomas after thanking h im in the warmest manner for the kind and hospitable treatment they had ogr e _ rienced from him during their sojourn at his resi dence in Portsmouth. A t 3 o'clock precisely the Soho proceeded down the river. As she passed the Victory, which was manned to the topmast, and which h: . -ted the flag of Portug al, the men gay eers, and a Royal salute of 21 . gulty.joassing t he battery anoth er n;yat s-firs and the spectators who lined die 03114 koldli cheered the young Sovereign of For togal.---iThe Soho, which is a splendid steamer, went out to sea in gallant, style , she was immediately followed by the Sa/.4 - 'niter, Government steamer, which proceedsjo-... pany with the Soho to Lis on.‘‘ The (tit t 'aterford, with a portion of the • / suite and other Portuguese on board, proceeka , in the evening. The Superb is also in the harbour, and proceeds in the morning with passengers for Lisbon. It blows at this moment a strong gale due west, di rectly against the course the steamer has to take. The rain begins to come down very heavily, ant! the night appears likely to be squally and tempestuous. It is reported that the Soho will anchor in Yar mouth-roads, Isle of Wight, this evening, and will proceed, should the gale not increase in violence, in the morning for Lisbon. The Soho has been fitted up in the most splendid and, at the same time, in the most comfortable man ner, for the accommodation of the Royal party. Two elegant cots with the Royal arms emblazoned over them were fitted up adjoining each other for the Queen and the Duchess of Braganza. Every thing in fact that ingenuity and art could suggest has been done to secure their comfort during their voyage to Lisbon. It is calculated that they will not in the present state of the weather reach Lis bon sooner than eight days hence at least. The Marquis di Rezendi and the Count de Sampayo formed part of the Royal suite in the Soho. Mrs. (now Lady) Napier and her daughters, though spe cially invited, did not after all accompany the young Queen in her departure from this country. I understand that one of the cabins of the steamer was cut through, in order to fit up three cots for the accommodation of those ladies, and that their finally declining to go (the cause for their refusal I did not hear assigned) produced great disappointment. HAMBURG PAPERS. BERLIN, SEPT. 10.—His Majesty the Emperor of Russia, in consequence of a slight indisposition, did hot set out from Schwedt till half-past seven o'clock yesterday morning for Mundengratz, a domain of Count Waldstein, in the circle of Bunzlau, in Bo hemia, with a fine palace, or castle, where his Ma jesty will have his interview with the Emperor of Austria. We hear that his Majesty is accompanied by his Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Frank fort on the Oder. His Majesty goes by way of Gorlitz, where, according to accounts from Breslau, her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess of Saxe- Weimar, with her consort, has been waiting ever since the 3d inst., the arrival of her august brother. SEPT. l I.—His Majesty the Kng set out to-day for Magdeburg. Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, their Royal Highnesses Princes and Prin cesses William, Charles, and Albert, and the here ditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mechlenburg Schwerin, have returned from Schwedt, and all the Princes and Princess Albert, and the Princess of Leignitz are gone to Magdeburg. M. de Ribeaupierre, the Russian Ambassador at this Court, and General Mansuroff, have arrived from Schwedt; Count Polemkin, Russian Ambas sada'. Extraordinary to the Court of the Nether lands from Sr. Petersburgh, and Prince \Vladimir Schentzihoff, from Dresden. Count 'Witt, Military Governor of Warsaw, has set out to return to that city. The Russian General Sumarokoff, and Prince \Vladimir Galitzin, and General Von Witzleben, are gone to Magdeburg. It was stated by mistake in a former number that the Emperor of Russia had landed at Revel, and returned thence by land to St. Petersburgh. The Isehora put into a small bay near Revel, but could not get to the shore, on account of the vio lence of the surf. It therefore put to sea again, and the Captain declaring that he could not proceed without imminent danger, his Majesty returned to Cronstadt by sea. Mr. Burnett, the new English Consul at Warsaw has arrived there. PRUSSIAN FUNDS—BERLIN, SErr. 10.

STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 3.—The Daglight 411c1sanda of yesterday says—" To-day we have again a pretty clear day, after the most violent and constant rain that we remember to have had for these 10 years. The farmers universally complain that the ground is so thoroughly wet as to hinder the sowing. The wheat, it is said, may be considered as entirely de stroyed ; and what rye has been got in yields a very scanty crop. In some parts in our neighbourhood the rye has not been reaped. If the rain continues during the harvest in these countries, such as East and West Gothland, (where the summer crop is the principal,) we may expect a very trying year." DRESDEN, SEPT. G.—Lord Minto is gone back to Toplitz, and Count Nesselrode is gone to Gorlitz, where it is supposed he will wait the arrival of the Emperor his Sovereign. RIGA, SEPT. 7.—Accounts from Wenden of the 22d of August, say—" The rain is constant, with only very short intervals. The rye is sprouting in the fields and precautions to prevent it are vain. About Neu Bilkenshof many fields of barley are so inundated that only the tips of the ears are to be seen above the water. Haystacks are in many places half under water: Mill-dams have been broken through, many bridges carried away, and other damage done. In many places the late corn has suffered by frost, which so early as the sth (17th) of June, injured the potato holm, and on the 23d of July (Aug. 4) the buckwheat. ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPT. 4. The accounts from the interior of the empire respecting the harvest are very melancholy. At St. Petersburgh we have very tine autumnal weather, after having had continual cold rains; the late storm, which inundated part of the city, did no great damage. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.

An Englishman, lately in Paris, a great amateur of lions, bears, tigers, and other ferocious ani mals, became acquainted with Monsieur Martin, and made frequent visits to his celebrated menagerie. Martin had occasion to leave Paris, and in his absence he con trived, by bribing the keeper, to obtain his permission to walk in the interior, and amuse himself by feeding the animals through the cages. The keeper, who was busily employed in serving out the food had forgotte❑ to close the gate of the lion's den. The gentleman happening to turn round, was horror-struck at perceiving his Majesty of the Forest, stretching himself with a particular degree of satisfaction within a few yards of him. Surrounded by a high-wail, without arms, stick, or even an umbrella to defend himself, his situation was ribt an enviable one. A lucky idea struck him,—he had his snuff-box in his hand, and threw the contents into the Lion's face, who, in the most obliging manner, turned round to sneeze, giving the gentlem,n an opportunity of slipping into the den and closing the gate upon himself, remaining there until the keeper returned and released him. BURNS.—The topical applications employed at the Westminster Hospital, are the turpentine stimulants recommended by Dr. Kentish, bat especially by Mr. Lynn, the senior surgeon, as at once the most philosophi cal, the most simple, and the most useful. The strength of the application is made to vary according to the constitu tion of the patient, the nature of the part, and the extent of the injury. The principle of Dr. Kentish is exactly the same as that adopted by Dr. O'Halloran, Mr. Guth rie, and other surgeons, in the treatment of certain di seases of the eye. The inflammation consequent upon burns, like that manifested in certain kinds of ophthalmia, is of a specific kind, and not to be overcome by any direct antiphlogistic process; the object of the surgeon then, by the application of stimulants, is to substitute a simple in flammatory action, which is amenab!e to corinnon remedies, for the morbid state which it is their object to remove. The use of the turpentine and the basilicon unguent, has been attended with the most beneficial results in the prac atgi,resee of oactittvoegl,iiti,sewhospital. his sent This ahs system name of in stimulation consequence of 9 P gentleman practisediunblaiedaitsi ouni a ct s where given n i t n o e s t h a e r e p an nu merous,This and accidents from fires frequent.

CONsTANTINOPLE, AUG. 18.—Within the last week there has been current in this city a rumour, founded on the authority of letters received from Odessa, of the cession having been effected by a secret article in the late treaty between Turkey and Russia of the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, in full possession and sovereignty to the latter Power. As nothing positive is known of the treaty, and as the cession of those provinces is likely to cause very great discontent among the inhabitants of the capital, who regard them as the granaries and feeding-ground for the supply of Con. stantinople, there is much mystery observed an the point. The Turkish Ministers—even Achmet Pacha himself, who has been named Ambassador to St. Petersbnrgh, to thank Nicholas for his late timely interposition—deny the fact of the ces sion ; but it is evident that the report has been got up to accustom the world to view it as fast approaching. It is remarkable that the influence of Russia with the Sultan is said to be on the wane, whilst it is repeated that Achmet Pacha does not wish to go to the Court from which he has received such large sums. Raised from the lowest rank of a porter, in order to gratify the most degrading passions of his master, and ycleped Secretary, although he knows little of writing, this minion sold himself to the highest bidder, but he is afraid to leave the city lest his favour should be lost. As Sultan Mahmoud shows not much gratitude to Russia, whose friend ship he must fear as much as its enmity, iti tr there fore said that the Russian influence loses ground, but it requires only a slight shock of adverse fortune to renew it more forcibly than ever. The treaty, which was called " offensive and defensive," is now said to be merely defensive, and for a duration of 10 years. In the mean time, great intrigues prevail in this Court, where there are now, as of old, two springs of government—one tising from the Divan or Cour]. cil of Ministers, and the other from the favourites of the Seraglio. The old Seraskier Pacha, who has been 40 years in power, and who has contrived to escape from every revolution intact and advanced rank, and who is now Governor of the capital, is opposed to the favourites, and, as some say, to Rus sia. A change in the Ministry is spoken of, but such a measure in this country, where, to use the expression of a keen ob;erver, " every thing is going to the devil," can produce but little good. In order to obviate the objections of the people towards Russian influence, it is rumoured that Greek Princes have been named to govern Wallachia and Moldavia, but of this statement one hears no confirmation. There is also much talk of the discovery of a vast conspiracy against the Sul tan and his system, and of the number of persons implicated therein who have been strangled, but it is impossible to arrive at the truth. A gentleman, on whose word reliance may be placed, told me he saw some of the bodies floating in the Bosphorus. They were stated to have been chiefly officers, who had placed themselves at the head of the discon tented soldiers, many of whom are eager to adopt the plans of the Janissaries, and by firing the wealthy part of the city to gather plunder, and also to bring about a revolution by the removal of the Sultan. The new coinage has appeared in a small quantity, the soldiers having received some of their pay in it. The pay of the common men, which lately consisted of about four shillings a-month ex clusive of rations, has been reduced one-fourth, and this reduction has increased their dissatisfaction. Threatening notices have been posted up in several places, and fires are expected. The latest news from the British and French fleets states that a great portion of them had gone fora time to Vourla, near Smyrna, while the re- minder were cruizing in the Archipelago. It is asserted that the whole of the British squadron is to assemble on the 24th in the bay of Salamis, where final instructions are expected as to the course the Admiral is to adopt for the winter. It is said by the Turkish agents that the conduct of Mehemet Ali has awakened the suspicions of Europe, and that those squadrons will not leave the Levant and its neighbourhood until the fullest explanation be given of his intentions. His fleet returned on the 21st ult. from Tarsus to Alexandria, bringing back 8,000 men of the army of Syria, who were immediately sent to Cairo, in order to put down som commo tions among the Hedgias. On the 27th Mehemet Ali embarked for Candia, where his presence for five or six weeks is likely to put down the rebel lious disturbances. He was accompanied by Col. Campbell in the British corvette Champion, on board of which Mehemet Ali went to his own man of-war on embarking, and from which he then received a salute of twenty-one guns. The Egyptain fleet, consisting of four ships of the line, four frigates, and a great number of small vessels, accompanied him : his suite of cooks and other servants is very numerous, and it is thought, from the quantity of provisions, &c., that he intends to entertain the British and French Admirals. The rendezvous of the vessels is stated to have been appointed by Mehemet Ali in the harbour of Suda. He is represented as having the intention of esta blishing an arsenal in the island of Candia, which, from its position, must become of the greatest utility to his ships in all future movements on this portion of Turkey. He continues to increase his naval force in an extraordinary degree. A new ship of the line (the eighth in commission) has been just launched, and immediate arrangements are made for construct ing another. Ibrahim Pacha remains in Syria, busy in levying new troops and in remodelling the government of that country, and in organizing a new system of taxation. It is even said that he is about to fix his residence in that country, and that palaces are to be built for his use. The Polish General Debinski has entered the service of Mehemet Ali, and will receive a salary of 20,000 dollars, for organizing the army. An agent of the Sultan, the ex-Derfterdar (Trea surer) Femy Effendi, arrived last month at Alex andria, on board a Turkish corvette, which was placed, like other ships coming from Constantinople arid infected places, in quarantine, on the termina tion of which he was to proceed to Candia. His mission is represented . ,as of importance. Among the rumours now in circulation is one re lative to the speedy coming to this city of young Rothschild, from Vienna, who is, according to re port, to be charged with a financial measure for the advantage of Turkey —that is, with the contracting a loan to the amount of 3,000,000 ducats. Another rumour states that Mehemet Ali has ap plied to the Porte for the government of the pro vinces lying between the frontiers of Syria and the river Phaz, where the Russian confines at present are fixed. His object in this demand is stated to be, that it is necessary for an active army to op pose the advance of that grasping Power, and to prevent its further encroachments on the shores of the Black Sea. It would be useful to the com merce of all nations, and of the British and French in particular, to prevent the ports of Trebizonde ' arid of the Turkish districts on the Black Sea, from which Persia and other Asiatic countries are supplied with European manufactures, from be coming the property of the Autocrat, who would thereby become the dictator of the centre of that quarter of the world. The present appearance of Russia is like the tiger in his lair —none who know his nature can dare to trust him, especially when one hears of the magnanimity arid generosity of the Czar, all of which good qualities are shown, according to the Russian supporters, in his not having already strangled and devoured the remains —The difficulty of commun i cat i ons of Turkey. in A th u is G c lj o s u T nt 2 r 6 y . is very great : the wan': of a frequent post to Vienna is much felt, since it is through that city that letters pass usually to England. Yet there are extraordinary accusations made here against that Power, which is charged with opening, reading, and stopping such letters as are not suited to the policy of Nletternich. Even the despatches from ambassadors are examined : hence it is rather re markable that the exchange of cabinet couriers is .~ . = '°f not more frequent. One of the British couriers has been delayed here a month ; but as another arrived this morning, it is presumed that the former will soon take his departure. Considerable alarm was caused here on Monday in consequence of a fire having taken place in Galata, which consumed at least 100 houses and 150 shops, as the Monifeur Ottoman, though interested in Its diminution, frankly allows. Threatening notices were sent round, and I myself saw masons at work walling up the windows of some merchants' count ing -houses and other stores, to prevent combustibles being thrown therein by the incendiaries. The sol diers are said to be principal agents in this nefarious Plan, because they are treated harshly and their pay reduced ; several of them have been arrested. There are, besides, many foreign wretches in this city who make a practice of plundering during a fire, and who,of course, do not neglect encouraging incendiarism. The frail wooden buildings of which this city is formed serve much to keep the inhabitants in terror. Yet no stone buildings are now erecting, with the exception of the Russian Chancellaria, as the bureaux of that embassy and consulate are called; all Pere, where the Franks reside, is formed of wooden filthy barrack-hke huts. The Turks are described as having an aversion to stone buildings, lest they should be used as fortresses against their troops. Guardhouses are placed in every street, and an active police is kept up in order to prevent all po pular commotions; yet there is no inhabitant who, on going to bed, does not think of the chance of his being awakened during the night by the cry of fire. The departure of Achmet Pacha to St. Peters burgh has not taken place : it is supposed that the aversion of this favourite to the English and French arises from the money with which the Russians have supplied him ; he is afraid lest his absence should produce an intrigue to upset him. The in trigues of the two parties at Court are now as strong as before. I saw the Sultan on Friday last, surrounded by all his officers of state, as he entered the mosque at Beshik Tack, about six miles from the city ; he looked a fresh hale man on horseback ; but on foot his short legs gave him an undignified appearance. To my surprise, he, who is represented as so grave, laughed loud on seeing the Seraskier Pacha in the porch. After the usual prayers, the Dervishes of the mosque, who are of a spt cial order, participating alike of the howling and dancing classes, commenced their religious exhibition in his presence. Although no Christian is allowed to enter the building, I con trived to see them from without. Thirty of them stood at first in a circle, and commenced bowing to the right and left, and to the three masters of the ceremonies in the centre : while some of their order beat a drum, and a sort of cymbal with a leathern thong, and sung verses from the Koran. The bow ers hopped round several times, shouting " Alla hu ;" next they joined in parties of threes, and jumped several times like mad waltzers, still shout ing or hallooing in concert. It was a horrible speci men of human absurdity, to see them caper in the air, and to hear them respire and shriek together. Some sunk from exhaustion; at length the others grouped themselves in parties of 8 or 10, and hopped and jumped, and hallooed " Alla hu," &c. until they could do it no more. On a signal from the superior they returned to the first places, when after a short pause they recommenced their antics. Mahmoud, who has a taste for such exhibitions, was in the gallery looking on, with all his Court; even the Turkish ladies, who were not allowed to enter the mosque during prayers, obtained permission from behind a screen to witness this fete. Several persons, among whom I was, looked on through a window, but or ders were at length given them to retire. The Russian ambassador, Count Butenieff, had a solemn audience last Wednesday of the Reis Ef fendi, when the ratifications of the late treaty were, as it is confidently affirmed, exchanged. This may account for the fact of four or five Turkish corvettes having been sent to the arsenal, where, as if to be laid up in ordinary, they have had their yards and topmasts taken down. The Aloniteur Ottoman, which is now published once a week, and solely in the Turkish language, contains, in the last, a notice that the Sultan having been prevented during two years, by the laws of destiny, from sending his usual tribute to the sacred tomb of the prophet, was preparing so to do this year ; and that the pilgrims would proceed as usual. This is regarded as a sign of peace on the side of the Sultan. Another notice states, that an order has been issued to all the Pachas, to have the money left by will, &c., to the young men employed as soldiers, taken care of. As the number of Turkish youths in all the villages is much diminished, and ;Is the Pachas plunder on all sides, this order is considered as equivalent to al lowing them to seize the property of the young soldiers altogether. There is a story in circulation of the Sultan having given leave to 300 of the dis contented to proceed to their homes, but orders were sent to the Pachas to cut them to pieces on their arrival. Disturbances have broken out in Al bania. In Bosnia the Porte has made some efforts to control the disaffected, by sending thither David Pacha, who was formerly implicated in a rebellion at Bagdad, but whose firmness and talents have in sured his pardon and his being employed in an im portant situation, to enable him to enter upon which the Sultan advanced him 500 purses, about 2,5001. The want of money is still the crying evil : all the departments of the Government are embarrassed; credit and commerce are at a low ebb. Small vessels, which used formerly to traffic in corn from the Black Sea, are now begging freights in this port; several Greek vessels of this description have turned pirates even on the Sea of Marmora, that is, Within sight of Constantinople. The Government has made some attempts to put them down, as they have been in the Archipelago by the British and French fleets. The Actapon frigate has gone on a cruise into the Sea of Marmota, but is to return to morrow. The sultan is preparing a grand review of his troops at St. Stephan°, which is to take place this week. It is now said that a great many of the Turkish men-of-war are to go into the arsenal. A tartar has arrived this evening from Syria with intelligence that Ibrahim Pacha had returned to Alexandria; he is said to be about to visit Mecca. The misery in Egypt is described as very great. The last intelligence from Greece states that a division prevails among the members of the Re gency, the Count Armansperg and M. Von. Maurer being opposed to the plans of General lleidegger. King Otho was confined for a week to his bed, in consequence of illness, caused by his melancholy si tuation and disappointments. The Greek bishops and priests are preparing to separate from the pa triarch of Constantinople, and to establish a synod for the government of their church. TUESDAY, AUG. 27.—The Russian fleet has not as yet gone into ordinary, for that Government is on the alert, in order to profit of every occasion that may offer. A person who left Odessa ten days ago has described the Russian soldiers as delighted with their expedition to this country, particularly as their rations were considerably increased. They have a wish to return, but as yet all look tranquil in that direction. In Albania, where the inhabitants are remarkable for the most warlike disposition, the disturbances are very serious. The people detest the Pachas or Governors sent by the Porte, who oppress and plunder without scruple ; they are therefore in re volt en masse against every agent of the Sultan, and wish to have a Pacha of their own, whom they can control. In the island of Cyprus, t h e population of al r anks have joined to throw off the yoke of the Sultan ; they have, as it is reported, murdered the Austrian Consul, and compelled the British and French Consuls to adopt their cause, in or der to save their lives. It is the fashion of this country to decry all that the Egyptian Government does, and in par ticular to paint the misery of the Egyptian sub jects. The misery is undoubted,—but so is that of the Turks. Mehemet Ali is most enterprising, and is now believed to be the principal cause of the disturbances in Turkey, which he secretly supports. The Actcron has returned to the Bosphorus ; and a steamboat has come from the fleet, in order to receive the instructions brought by yesterday's courier. K. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Morning Herald.) We have received the whole of the French papers of Sunday, and the Gazette de France and Message'. des Chambres dated yesterday. These papers contain the laconic announcement of an assault having been made on the sth instant by the Miguelite army, in which it was repulsed, and that, after remaining inactive during the Gth and 7th, Marshal Bourmont was preparing to renew the attack. The Journal de Frankfort, of the 10th instant, contains an article relative to the coercive measures threatened by the Swiss Confederation in respect of Neufchatel, which appears to have produced consideration sensation in Paris. Being supposed under the influence of the Prussian Government, the Frankfort journal, in questioning, as it does, the right of the Diet to control the Prussian Princi pality of Neufchatel, has drawn from the Journal des Debate, the demi-official organ of the French Ministry, a declaration, that in its proposed line of conduct towards the discontented Canton of Neuf chatel, the General Diet is fully warranted by the solemn treaty or part of 1815, and expresses its conviction that the Court of Berlin itself will concur in that view of the subject. The National of Sunday contains a letter from Madrid, dated the 4th instant, which asserts, in con tradiction to the other reports published, that the King's health continued to be most precarious. There is no domestic news to be found in these Papers. M. Livingston, the Envoy of the United States at the Court of France, had arrived in Cherbourg. (From the Journal des Debuts, Sept. 15.) TOULON, Sers. 9 —The Emulation corvette arrived yesterday in the road of Toulon, corning from Tenedos, and last from Navarin, whence it sailed on the II th of August. At the departure of the Emulation, our squadron, con sisting of the Ville de Marseille, Superbe, and Duquesne of the line, the Iphigenia frigate, the Lamproie and As• trot' be corvettes, the Acteon, Palimere, and Dufetit Thouars brigs, were going to leave Tenedos and go to Smyrna. Rear-Admiral Hugon was to embark in the Palimere, to sail with all haste to Constantinople, having been sent for by Admiral Rouissin, our Ambassador. BERLIN, SErr. 7.—We find the fallowing article in a Berlin paper called the Woehenblatt : " The tactics of the faction consist in confining the Government to the ground of constitutional legality, con tinually to narrow its limits by the interpretation of written laws and constitutions, and thus to render its existence impos sible. In Germany the revolution seeks to destroy monarchy by following legal and constitutional forms. This is evident. " We do not mean to advocate the doctrine of coups d'etat, on the contrary, we think that it is a great misfortune for a country, when the panic oversteps the legal limits, to mike his own good pleasure triumph ; but how shall constitutional legality maintain itself if one of the powers of the State, the judicial authority, sanctions treasons by its decisions, and abandons the cause of law and morality ?" In this struggle of faction with law is not the prince authorised to have recourse to those energetic measures which God has put in his hands ? " Sooner or later the discussion concerning the du ration of monarchy in Germany will tura on this question." - PARIS, SETT. IC-The Courrier Francais makes the following observations on the struggle in Portugal : " 'We see by the position of Don Pedro at Lisbon, and the defensive measures which he is obliged to take, that his calve is far from having made any progress for this month past, This opinion is confirmed by the develope ments given by the English Journals of the 1 1 tb, to the news received the day before. The forces which Don Pedro has been able to assemble to defend Lisbon against an army superior in number, are neither considerable nor of much intrinsic value; the battalions of the National Guards and workmen formed in haste, badly equipped, and perhaps badly armed, would scarcely make any ener getic resistance to an attack directed with vigour and per severance. The corps of 6,000 men, which Saldanha commanded in the rear of the enemy, might, if ably con ducted, have greatly impeded his operations against Lisbon. But the arrival of Saldanha in th- capital, and the numerous reinforcements drawn from Oporto announce that this decision has been renounced in order the better to secure the defence of Lisbon. Supposing that Bourmont should not succeed in his attack on Lisbon, or even that he should not attempt, what can hinder him from wintering in the province of Alemtejo, and resuming his operations in the spring ? Don Pedro reduced in Lisbon to a melon. cho'y defensive, has evidently not moveable troops enough to hinder him, or to harass him, if he should think tit to retire. The Miguelite Guerillas are organising, and will multiply in proportion as the weakness of the Queen's party shall appear : corps of this description which offer so many temptations to the habits of brigandage, will never want elements in the Peninsula. Thus the war will be more difficult to be ended even by its prolongation. " The English Journals announce indeed a kind of breaking up of the Ministry of Don Miguel, resignations which do not indicate that the party is in harmony with itself, or that it has much confidence in the future; they say, too, that the Miguelite soldiers are worn out, ragged, and discou raged ; but how, then, does it happen that these soldiers remain united under the command of their officers, and continue the war without hopes of success ? It will be a matter of astonishment that the taking of Lisbon has pro duced so little effect. Was it not one of those decisive blows which discourage resistance, which seem to fix fortune, and which, by their moral influence, complete what arms have begun ? Who would not have believed that the Miguelite army, at the news of this catastrophe, was going to disperse or to submit. Yet it has remained indifferent to this check ; it has continued the war as before without more or less zeal, and as if the cause that it defends was neither more nor less in danger than before the occupation of the capital. When it has stood such a trial, we may be allowed to believe that it will remain under arms so long as its commanders have money to pay it, and there are good reasons why money will ❑ot be wanting.—Paris Papers, Sept. 15. GERMAN PAPERS. FRONTIERS OF BOHEMIA, SEPT. 4.—At length the meeting of the three Monarchs, who protect and consolidate in the east of Europe the existing state of things, will really take place, all the principal points having probably been discus•ed before hand. Only a month ago the probability of such a meeting was very small ; but the Emperor Nicholas is said to have been so fully convinced of the absolute necessity, that disregarding the inconve nience of a long journey, and a variety of important affairs that require his presence at St. Petersburgh, he punctually fulfilled his previous engagements. Who can now doubt that this interview is connected with vital questions of the general policy of Europe, which only the three Sovereigns can solve? The choice of the place where the monarchs should meet was, as it seems, long undecided, but the Austrian Court at length decided for Muochengratz, in the circle of Bunzlaw, near the Silesian frontiers. n W i o a d l g d se, which te alone inhas thereoe contains n spacious tycastle, androoms. co n n e n ar t it a C h o u u n n tig Choteck therefore went thither from Prague a fewdays ago, to make the necessary arrangements. The Emperor Francis int en d e d at fi rst to stop at Prague till the Bth September, many festivities had been put off on account of the continued bad weather, and were to take place in the last three days, but news having come of the expected arrival of the Emperor of Russia at Schwedt, his Majesty's stay has been abridged, to the great regret of the inhabitants of Prague. It certainly gives pain to the Emperor and Empress, that they cannot longer enjoy this unexampled enthusiasm of the inhabitants of Prague, equally ardent in the palace and the cottage with all its animated yet respectful manifestations. The Em perorg ra tz iinnten timeded t :n o hasten his his illustrious so beat tor. l l l l tu n i s v e l l ie e n l l known that Prince Metternich and Count Nesselrode will accompany their sovereigns, and M. Ancellon the King of Prussia. (We now know that the King of Prussia is not gone to Bohemia.) This, therefore, ha s a ll t h e f orms of a diplomatic meeting, which crowns all the measures pre viously discussed and agreed upon. As all is to be concluded in a few days, the term Congress, as generally understood, maybe less proper than that of " 3leeting of Sovereigns for the concluding Act." The Emperor Francis, we hear, is very desirous to return to Vienna as soon as possible, and will therefore take the shortest road, without passing through 011mutz as was before intended. What may this most important interview produce for the salvation of the na. tiont of Europe ?
