FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PMtis, OCT. 28.—A1l the Letters received irom the North and from Turkey during the last two days announce, that war between Russia and the Porte is considered as on the point of breaking out. We are in daily expectation of the last declaration of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. Other letters received the day before yester day, by one of the first bankers of Paris,, state, that .hostilities have commenced between the troops of the Schah of Persia and the Turks, in w ilia the former had obtained some advantages. The funeral of the late Archbishop of Paris was celebrated yesterday with the pomp and dignity becoming this pious ceremony.. A letter from tic, of recent date, says that the situation of Tortosa is dreadful, and that the con tagion increases at Parcelona in a most frightful manner ; but as the mornings and evenings were becoming cool, it was hoped that this change . Of temperature would abate the epidemic. ivete letters received at Perpignan from Bar celona state, that the disorder seems to have reached its highest degree of intensity. The commission of French physicians had quitted the town to encamp without the walls, where a por tion of the population had already pitched their rents. Dr. Pariset continued in good health►, but one of his courageous colleagues had experi enced some symptoms of this formidable dis order. • In consequence of this disastrous intelligence, the monks IA ho had been expected from Barce- Jona, and had taken refuge in France, have re turned to that, town to administer spiritu•_l and temporal assistance to their countrymen. All the reports in circulation respecting the journey of the King of England are void of foun dation, and we have good reasons for believing, that this Monarch will return to Great Britain -without visiting Paris.

According to several ac counts, Dr. Mezet, the youngest of the French physicians, had fallen a victim to it, after three days' illness ; but a young man, Ns ho is in con stant attendance on the French physicians, states that Dr. Isdazet is not dead, though his compa nions have no hope of saving him. Dr. Baillie Las been taken 111.—ft is affirmed that the popu lation of Barcelonetta , is reduced to 90 or 100 in habitants ; that all the medical men are dead, and the sick without assistance." The Moniteur contains two Royal Ordinances, dated the 19th of October. One directs the publication of the Bulls, containing the canonical inetitution of the Archbishoprics of Reims, Sens, and Avignon, and the BiShopries of Chartres, Perigneux, Nimes, and Lueon, and determining their respective circumscriptions. By this new arrangement, the dioceses of Troyes, .toissons, and Amiens, are removed from the Archbishopric of. Paris. The other Ordinance relates to the bulls given by the Pope, confirming the appointments of seve ral new archbishops and bishops. Another Royal Ordinance of the 17th of Oct. directs, that from the Ist of Oct. 1822, no per son shall be admitted as a candidate for the de gree of Batchelor of Letters, unless he has gone through a year's course of philosophy at one of the colleges, or other established institutions. ANTWr, Oc T. 25. — [extract of a Private Letterd----Our Hamburg correspondent transmits the follov.'ing news, on Turkey,' which comes down to the 27th of September : Constantinople is crowded with troops which daily arrive from Askt : they replace the corps under the command of the Paella of Broussa. The troops which have for the last two or three months been encamped on the side of Scutari, and whOm the Ottoman Government would not allow to pass the strait, have suddenly received Orders to march to the Danube and join the army already in position on the banks of that river. The town of Silistria is appointed the ge neral rendezvous. Other Turkish divisions, and especially •a chosen body of Janissaries, are to follow the Asiatic troops, and proceed to the same situation. In general preparations for war are actively carried on at Constantinople ; and it is universally believed that the Grand Segnior has rejected the last propositions of Russia. It is added . that if it had not been for the interference of Lord Strangford, his Highness would have ere now declared war. In consequence of the representations of the Foreign Ministers,' among whom the most active were the Austrian Lnteruuucio and Lord.Strang ford, the Porte had revoked the order, calling on all Mussulmans to take up arms, and had even beheaded several individuals who did not lay down their arms within the prescribed time.— This measure restored tranquillity, but it was soon succeeded by the greatest consternation, on the unexpected publication of the Ilatti- Scheriff, calling again on the Turks to fly to arms. Constantinople is on the eve of becoming again the theatre of bloody scenes, for its whole popu lation is now in arms AUGSBURG, OCT. 22.—1 t is reported that the standard of the Prophet is to be immediately planted on the mosque of St. Sophia, at Constan tinople, but this report wants confirmation. No mews has been received of the Turkish fleet, but we are informed that several fortresses of the Norea have surrendered to the Greeks. OCT. 23.—0 n the 15th or 16th the Cabinet of Vienna received further dispatches from the I►:m perial Internuncio at Constantinople. Their contents have not transpired. News from Constantinople of a recent date confirm the late reports respecting the military preparations of the Porte. Numerous Asiatic hordes are marching to Macedonia and the Da nube. NUREMBERG ) OCT. 21.—Intelligence has been received at Vienna, that the Turks have sent large reinforcements of troops to Moldavia. FRANKFORT, OCT. t is said that letters have been received at Vienna from Constan tinople, stating that the standard of Mahomet has been planted on the mosque of St. Sophia. —They also confirm the re-publication of the hatti-scheriff, summoning the Musselmans to arms, and add, that this order was made public a few days later than was reported. Our. 23.—We learn from Stockholm, that se veral officers of the Swedish army on half-pay, and many young men, are preparing to go to Greece, to fight against the Turks. Accounts from Dante of the 29th September, state, that Ali Paella set fire to the town of Janina, after the retreat of the Turks, to deprive the latter of anv place of refuge in case they should return, and lay seise again to his fortresq. According to letters from Agram, great mili tary movements have lately taken place in Bos nia, in consequence of orders front Constanti nople. The Cabinet of Austria has transmitted notes to all the different Courts on the subject of the departure of the Austrian Minister at the Court of Lisbon, and the Austrian Corrsul-General in Portugal. This note, it is asserted, contains many remarkable passages relative to the Portu guese Revolution. HERMANSTADT, OCT. 10.—Some fugitives who have arrived on our frontiers, say, that Captain Jordaki escaped with three of his companions from the•coiivent of Secka. A Greek had as sumed his name, and had. suffered himself to be made a prisoner by the Turks to favour his flight. The Turks lost two thousand men before the convent was carriqd, and were guilty'of their accustomed barbarities against the lietaerists and the Monks. One old man had his eyes put out, and was flayed alive ; and 3 Priests and 25 Ile taerists were burnt to death with a slow fire. VIENNA, OCT. 18.—The Ottoman troops col lected at Salonica, not having succeeded in ex pelling from the peninsula the insurgents who occupy the banks of the Gulf. of Cassandra, the Government of Salonica has been given to the Capidjibachi Eboult-Kabout Moham med Pacha, ho has served with great dis tinction in Egypt and Syria, and has received from his Highness the dignity of Pacha of three tails and his pelisse of honour. As soon as he arrives active operations µlll be re-commenced against A li-Pacha. TRIESTU, OCT. 13.—We have letters from Zante of the Ist of October. The Greek fleet, consisting of 9.00 sail, has re-appeared bef6re Patras and Coron. It is accompanied by several fire-ships, to attack the combined Turko—Egyp tian squadron. ST. PETERSEURGII, OCT. s.—The following Im perial Ukase, dated 25th September, has been ad dressed to the Senate " The Russian American Company, under our protection, which enjoys the privileges graciously conferred upon it in the year 1799, has fully answered our expectations ; it has nro 'noted the progress of navigation, extended the trade of the Em pire to the general benefit, and procured considerable advan tages to those immediately concerned in it. In consideration of this, and as we wish that it may continue to flourish, we renew the privileges granted to - it, with the necessary additions and mo difications, for a period of twenty years from this time, and hav ing confirmed the principles laid clown for it, we send 'them herewith to the Directing Senate, and order that the patent shall be made out according to the tenor of these privileges laid before us tOr signature, and that the measures.. depending on it shall - be taken." Ocz•. Majesty the Emperor returned yesterday to Czarskojt-selo in• perfect health, from re,Viewing the regiments of the guard. at Witepsk. - The weather is =expectedly warm and fine, and is highly fa vourable to the ripening and harvesting of the corn, which has been kept back by the wet summer. The Lady of Mr. Peter Solowowo, an amiable young Lady, and mother of six children, !rid the misfortune to be overturn ed last week in a droschky, at Ilammimostrow, and killed by Etfling on the pavement.

S.)_From the very, beginning of June we have had an extraordinary drought, And the heat rose to 32 deg. Reammir, by which the grass in the Steppes, which furnishes. the fodder for 'the cattle hi the winter, is quite scorched up ; nay, even the hay that was mown is in some places burnt. The Com mander of the corps of Cossacks here has taken the requisite ineasnrcs' for the preservation of the herds of horses that pasture beyond the Don on the Cali - nut:lr side. • FIT LAND, Scrz. 20.—At Alm, the Margenbladt, published there by .31r.

A .Commission is now appointed to draw up a new Constitution for the Acadeniy. 13a ANDExEcutht, Oct. 20.—T0-morrow. there is to be a grand review in the presence of the King and the whole Royal Family, and afterwards Divine Service. in memary of the vic tory at Leipzic. MAnitru, OCT. IS.—The Territorial Audi ence of Castile has confirmed the sentence of the Tribunal of . First Instance on the nine Body_Guards arrested in the course of the late troubles ; eight of them have, in consequence, been removed from the Convent of St. Martin to one of the city prisons, and the.ninth has been set at liberty on his giving security to appear on the trial. The Provincial Deputation of Cadiz has sent a petition to the King, demanding the restoration of General Meg() to all his offices. This .piece, though written in a mandatory style, is not to be compared with the diatribe inserted 'in the Cadiz Journal on occasion of the honours which ought to be paid to the memory of Arco- Aguero. Indeed, it would be difficult to find a document More offensive to the majority of Kiugs. The number of monasteries to be suppressed in Spain amount to 477. The elections of Catalonia, Valencia, Granada, • and the Asturias, have terminated in favour of the friends of the Constitution, and were con ducted with great tranquillity. This was not the case at Elche and Orihuela, where the most disgraceful scenes occurred. These towns are di vided into two violent parties. At Pampeluna the election was molested by a serious quarrel, between the Garrison and Na tional Militia, which was on the point of being decided by arms. The bands of Andalusia are making daily pro gress, and occasion serious disquietude. The yellow fever is increasing at Malaga; but more . favourable accounts are transmitted from Arragon and Port. St. Mary. I,lsnoN, OCT. 18.—In the Sitting of the Cortes of the 10th inst. the discussion was resumed on the question whether - persons in public employ ment might be elected members of the.legislature - Senor Bastes made a long, and able speech, in which. he insisted on the necessity of the separa• ! tion of the legislative, the judicial = and executive FOR THE SUN. THE BRITISH EMPIRE. MR. EDITO it—Several of the Journals have of late published, under the head " Grandeur of Me British Empire," a flourishing account of our Revenue, Landed Property, numerous Popula-. lion, Shipping and Colonies. By way of reply, I beg leave to state, that although no one appre ciates more than myself the value to the State of a numerous, virtuous, and profitably employed population, a well-constructed, numerous, and profitably employed shipping, numerous, fertile, and highly cultivated colonies and happy colo nists, and though I am sensible, indeed, that such are the ground-work, support, and wealth of a Nation, when correct systems of Commerce and Finance bring their resources into action for the benefit of the Empire ; yet, I cannot agree with the writer in thinking - that where the two former are imperfectly employed, or are in part unem ployed and are demolishing, and the other rot ting by the walls, whilst our Colonies are little more than the resort of wild beasts, while the expences of governing them are greater than the benefits derived from them, I cannot think with the writer that we have, under these' circum stances, any thing to boast of from possessing a numerous population, colonies, &c. ; for I know of no greater curse that can befal a Nation than such a state of things as above described. Yet the remedy is easy, of practical application, and we heve it in our own hands. Should the writer of the aforesaid paragraph doubt the facts of my statement, I beg he will not draw his conclusions from a temporary yet ill paid employment of our people, caused by the Coronation, or the stimu lus of mere speculations, nor like those modern calculators who judge of the state of society by the, viands of their own table, nor by those Mem bers of Committees who leave state questions un noticed, and only ask such as belong to Traf fickers, &c. ; but that lie will take a statesman like view of the case, and begin with learning the state of our jails, prisons, pauperism, and beg gary, and the comparative number (I mean as compared with former years) of arrests, levies for debts, rent, taxes, tythes, &c., also the miserable state - of the working classes, and compare the present price of labour with the price of subsistence ; the latter with the price of production. Ask all our politicians why this state of society exists ; and I will en. ' gage that five-sixths of them Will answer in truth that it is through the want of profitable employ ment. These are the criteria by which statesmen should judge of the state of their country.— Compare the number of ships that are idle and rotting, with those profitably employed ; and the number of the latter will be small indeed when compared to the fortner. Go through our Mer cantile Dock-yards, from one end of the Empire to the - other, view' the silence of the once busy Scene, and there draw your conclusions of the miserable state of the shipping interest. Go to our Colonies, and learn the stagnated state of their industry, and theirdiscontent, (with few exceptions),' for want of protecting markets for their products, while England possesses markets for nearly the whole of their products : but she gives them to foreigners under an idea that the. latter exchange their products for our Manufac tures, without perceiving that the Colonists would generally do the game as the West India Sugar Planters do, as fur as relates to the exchanging their produce for our industry, were they on an equal footing, and that their indirect Revenue is greater, and paid before the Foreigners' direct duties, and that a larg e national wealth a n d poli tical power wou ld b e the balance gained by the Empire. • When the writer has done this, let him answer candidly (while our present measures exist) has England, under these circumstances, any thing to boast of from her numerous popula tion, shippin and Colonies ? tion, But if lie asks me what will be an effective remedy for all those lathentable evils, and what will make future bless hugs of our present curses, I. will without hesita tion tell him that a perfect system of Commerce and Finance combined(the former found e d on the pure principle of reciprocity of benefits, and the latter, as it were, on self-creating and self supporting principles) will not only cure all the evils of our present systems, -but %%ill giVe pro fibble employment to al l -the people and ships of the British Empire, as %yell as cause the cultiva tion of our Colonies, and create markets for their of thi.3 system I h a v e d r 3 l e leventie to al most any e p x ro te d n u t c . e, \l a-l i ' t d h thlitc;.keansoewol'Ll' on certain conditions made an offer to bring Go ve.Tment acquainted. With respect to the writer's statement of re venue, exports, and imports, I fear he has taken them too high during the present or last quar ters ; but he may as well, expect the trunk and branches of a tree to support them Selves without roots, or a ship to sail without wind, as to ex pect commerce and manufactures to flourish and support a large revenue, unless agriculture, the root of, and Fropellina.pOwer to the whole, be in a state of ,prosperity. With respect to the re venue, he should know that the same system of measures (if continued) which compelled our people to descend from the use of wine and spirits, to the more humble beverage of beer and tea (as appears to have been done by the last quarter's revenue,) will in the next stage force them to small beer and water, and then to star- vation. The increased revenue last quarter from malt and soa,p7 I understand, is accounted for, from the circumstance that extra stocks have been bought in, though these articles having of late been selling at a price much under- the cost of production, of course so much the less will be bought in future quarters. But where is that in creased revenue of about 3 per cent. per annum during the last five or six years, that ought (had our systems of commerce and finance been per fect) to have been produced from our increased population, through an increased consumption of excisable articles, occupation of houses, &c..? This is a question worthy the consideration of both Statesmen and Philanthrophists. As to the value of our land to the landed pro prietor, I 'am satisfied it is not at present near its stated value ; and if our present measures continue much longer, the pauper, tax-gatherer, and clergy, will engross the whole produce of the soil. The clergy will next fall short of their present share, and soon . after our numerous paupers will tell the tax-gatherer and public creditors, &c., (pau perism is fast increasing numerically) that the land does not yield too much for their support. If his information of the exports of 20 millions of manufactured cotton goods per annum be cor rect, it implies that it Must be owing to that manufacture being less taxed than our ►native linen and woollen-manufactures, and therefore that it displaces them in the market, to recompence the nation for the loss of which the cotton manufac tures are altogether inadequate. But independ ently of this consideration, I am ready to prove that our manufacturing from Foreign in lieu of Colonial and British Indian cotton, deprives the British Empire of a permanent profitable employ ment for 300,000 British subjects, as cultivators. and about 150,000 tons of British shipping and sailors, and ship tradesmen in proportion, as well as deprives her of obtaining national wealth and political power equal to or more than 20 millions sterling per annum.. Whenhe writes again an exports and imports, Ise will do his readers a favour to state the value of our industry, consumed within the British Em pire, compared to that by foreigners. Perhaps it will be found that all our manufactures ex ported to foreign countries, do not consist of more than tlie-coi►su►nption of half a million of such a •peppk as our journeymen tailors in London ; and I have no doubt but that one half of those few manufactures go to pay for such foreign goods as We can produce ourselves, and thereby keeps the same number of our people out of profitable employment, and throws them into the work houses, prisons, and jails, to be supported by na tional funds, though they could, if properly pro tected, have produced the aforesaid goods. The wisdom of our forefathers led them to pro tect British industry against foreign competition; and this (almost in spite of natural obstructions) brought our shipping and manufacturing intererts tea high state of perfection. But it is the maxim of our modern statesmen (I Avill not say their wisdom) to protect foreign industry from British competition. This is proved in our East India Charter, &c. ; and the consequences are, that we have scarcely a branch of industry in the Empire now in a thriving state. They who regard the reports of flourishing industry and revenue more than the whistling of the wind, while agriculture (like ours) is iu a state of decay, prove them selves to be no statesmen. The extension of the profitable employment of our people should be the ground-work of every statesman's conside ration. The British Empire possesses ten times more wealth and power than either nature appears to have first intended, or of which , we avail ourselves ; yet all, is wrong, from one end to the other, for want of the knowledge of that system of Commerce and Finance neces sary to bring our mighty resources into action, and to give our people profitable employment, and our products markets. I remain, Your very obedient humble servant, A LOVER OF TRUTH, AND OF THE London, Oct. 26, 162/. BRITISH EMPIRE. NIEL.% NCH OLY ACCIDENT.-Linilthgozo,Oct.e.G. —A melancholy accident happened here early this morning.—Anthony Canwhell, rat-catcher, from Plymouth, having taken up his residence, about three weeks ago, in a small apartment of a hou4e near the market-place, his wife, Mary Macdonald (from Kintore, near Aberdeen), in his absence appears to have affixed a burning candle to the wall adjoining the bed where she and her children lay, and, as is supposed, having fallen asleep, the candle had set lire to the bed, the consequence of which was, that two of the children, one 5 and the other 2 years of age, were so dreadfully burnt that they died in the course of the day. The moth?r, who was in a state of pregnancy, being much scorched,occasioned pre mature delivery, but there are hopes of her re covery, and the child is doing well. A subscrip tion was immediately set o❑ foot by the Magis trates, and a sum raised for the relief of the family, to which the Noble Lord Lieutenant of the County, with that spirit of benevolence so peculiar to himself, has been pleased liberally to contribute. Mr. Sncr,r,rro, of Croydon, grocer, was thrown from his horse on Tuesday, near East Grinstead, and was unfortunately killed on the spot. , . .

EXTRACT OF A LETTER DATED AMSTERDAM, OCT. 26. " The KING finds himself in a situation of much embarrassment. The Members of the Se cond Chamber, particularly from Brabant and Belgium, do not arrive at the Hague, and conse quently the discussion on the new law of Finance, which passed the Upper Chamber, after so much discussion last Session, cannot proceed for the want of the competent number of deputies. The fundamental law of the State has provided no remedy against this manoeuvre of the Opposition, and the King is exceedingly perplexed how to act in a cowstitutional manner, and yet proceed with his favourite measure. This, however, is but the commencement of the want of harmony between Belgium and Holland, or rather the de velopement of that principle of disunion which is likely at some time or other, and in a violent manner, to- cause a separation between the two countries."
