TURKEY AND RUSSIA. VIENNA, AUG. 17.—Dispatches have arrived this day from Constantinople, dated the 31st ult., which communicate most important intelligence. Our last ad vices from that c:ty were of the 25th, on which day the Divan were assembled in con sultation upon the propositions made by Russia. The following is the substance of them, and it cannot be denied that they are conceived in an extremely moderate spirit. They begin by call ing on the Turks, in the name of all the Christian Powers of Ettrope, to put a speedy end to pro ceedings which have outraged religion and huma nity ; to effect which it is required— 1. " That all the Christian Churches whicl have been destroyed or pillaged shall be reboil and put into a state of service for their holy des tinations, by which means Europe may be con soled for the death of the Patriarch of Constan tinople, and the profanations which followed tha deplorable event. " That distinction shall be made between the authors of the existing troubles, or those Greeks who have been led to take part in them, and between those whose innocence should pro tect them from the severity of the Divan. 3. " That the door of peace shall be opened to those who may have remained tranquil, and to those who within a limited period return to s-übrnission. 4. " That Russia shall be enabled, in the syirit of existing treaties, to assist in the pacifica tion of Moldavia and Walachia; to place order and tranquillity there on a permanent footing, to the end that the example of those provinces may be such as to recall to obedience all Greeks who sincerely love their country." It was understood, that if the Porte should accede to the propositions contained in the RUS aim' Note, the Ambassador was authorised to make arrangements for carrying them into effect, or at least should stipulate for some period within which the Turkish Government should evince, by some decisive step, the sincerity of its determination. - These are undoubtedly the tenour of the pro positions made by Russia to the Porte, though, as they are detailed from memory, they may not -. be correct to the letter. The instructions to the. . Russian Ambassador, by which they were ac . compauied, were to require an answer from the Divan in eight days, and Baron Strogonoff seems to have adopted the determination strictly to ad here to them. On. the 20th July, which was the • last day alloived for the answer of the Turkish - Divan, he sent for their reply. lie was informed verbally,_ that the Porte had determined on corn pliante With'all his propositions, but that on ac count of the length of the Russian note, and the necessary time that would be consumed in its translation from the French into the Turkish language, and the reply of the Divan from the Turkish language into the French, they would require forty-eight hours delay before they could transmit their answer to Baron Strogo noff in the official form. It appears, however, that the peremptory manner of the Russian Am bassador accelerated the movements of the Di van... By the evening of the 26th they had corn pleted . their reply in the official form, and sent a message to Baron Strogonoif that it was ready for his acceptance, thus complying with the letter of the- Russian note even to the period allowed them for - acquiescence or refusal. No reply to • this communication was condescended by the Russian Ambassador. On the following morn _ ing, two dragomans (interpreters,) attached to the. Russian embassy, appeared at the Divan, and demanded passports for Baron Strogonoff and • his -spite to 'quit Constantinople. Instead of " compliance with that demand, the official reply and .submission of the Porte to the propositions • '.of Russia were then tendered. Acceptance was refusecriv the Ambassador, who declared that :heycould not accept a " tardy answer," and the. - ft-demand for passports was repeated. They were' at length granted for his suite and for his vessel f but,-the insertion of Baron Strogonoff's name in any passpoit was refused, it being understood"; ..-,hOWev,eroliatrno opposition would be made to his :_departure.—: On :the other hand; they would not - ex.pressli consent to. it. Baron 'Strogonoff de ' Oaied reMatedly to the' other Ambassadors,' who of d'ulurgp watched anxiously all his 'proceedings,- --that Avhetherhe obtained passports'or not he was.. 'cle6rmitied to depart... The motives assigned: here for •his, extraordinary conduct among the diplomatic circles are, that knowing of his recall at the time, he was solely bent on making his retreat go as to save his credit, and to preserve the- secret of his disgrace-. • PIEDMONT, Aua. 3.—We hear that a Conven tion has been concluded between our King, who resides at Modena, and the Austrian Govern ment, by which 12,000 Austrian troops are to occupy, till the end of September, 1822, certain districts and towns mentioned in the Convention. The Austrians are to relieve their garrisons every four months with troops from the Milanese. On the other hand, King Charles Felix pays 300,000 francs per month, and furnishes daily 12,000 ra tions of. bread. Various reports having been spread in Upper Italy respecting an intended interference of Austria in the internal affairs of Sardinia, his Majesty, Charles Felix, has caused a Circular Note to be delivered to all the Fo reign Alinisters at Modena, which Note has been also communicated to all the European Courts, in which these reports are formally contradicted.l FOREIGN LITERATURE. (No. XXXVI.) CEUVRES COMPLETES de L'EMPEREUR JULIEN, i. e. the WORKS of the EMPEROR JULIAN, translated for the first time into French from the Greek, with RemarkS and Notes, to which is prefixed an Historical and Critical Notice of his Life, by R. TOURLET, Member of several Academies and Literary Societies, and TranSlator of Pindar, and Quintus of Smyrna. Three Volumes, Bvo. Vol. I. Paris, 1821. There are some severe critics who daily de— plore the literary sterility of our age, yet several remarkable productions have recently appeared which attest the triumph of the arts and sciences. It would be unjust to imagine that human know ledge is on the decline, though, perhaps, it may be admitted that interesting subjects are begin ning to be scarce. The works of antiquity, how ever, present new literary treasures which we ought to endeavour to conquer : it is true this conquest is not to be achieved without some pains; but it is the duty of great talents to attempt great enterprises, and by genius alone ought the productions of genius to be interpreted. Among the precious relics which for ages have remained hidden from public admiration, the !Forks of the Emperor Julian, on account of their historical and political importance, seemed to de mand the attention of those esteemed literati who take a pride in enriching modern literature, by reproducing the chef d'oeuvres of antiquity. The united labours of Labletiene and the Mar quis d'Argens gave a very imperfect idea of the works and system of Julian ; even the lettered j public knew little more of this Emperor than his military and political renown ; and it was re served for the learned translator of Quintus of Smyrna, and Pindar, to bring completely to light the brilliant ideas of the illustrious author of the Misopogon. The first of the three volumes of his translation has just. made its appearance : it comprises the Life of ;Julian, the Oration addressed to the Em peror Constans, that containing the eulogium of the great actions of this Prince, and the third dedicated to the glory of the Empress Eusebia ; the volume is terminated by the discourse in honour of the Sun King, and by the reflections of the translator. M. Tourlet has doubtless had to contend with he greatest difficulties at every step. No edition of the Works of Julian was perfect : errors and omissions rendered the ambiguity of the style extremely troublesome, and increased the obscu rity of a metaphysician, whose ideas are fre quently very abstracted : these impediments would seem to make it almost impossible for the .most subtle spirit to follow the developements of a system, in which truth is only - to be seen in volved in the illusions of an ardent imagination ; for Julian was at the same time a poet and a philosopher. This philosophy, it is true, bears the impress of the age : religious disputes then began to divide the Universe; in the midst of ruins smoking with blood, the ancient mythology and the new worship disputed the empire of the soul. Julian (lid not adopt the philosophy of Epicurus. Platonism, which conceals real unbe lief under the veil of allegory,-acrd-seems to hold a middle course between the system of nature and religious principles, became therefore the object of his enthusiasm : sublime contemplations, consoling illusions, are naturally agreeable to a highly poetic imagination. Julian wrote in the midst of the anxieties of war and politics ; the cares due to his vast empire, martial exercises, the perfecting of the laws, the cultivation of letters, occupied in turn every mo ment of his existence. Surrounded by the wiles of treason, menaced by the daggers of envy, this master of the world invariably maintained his serenity of mind : superior to his own fortune itself, which placed him in an age when men were commonly ignorant of the best part of their duties, Julian showed himself the just Sovereign, the magnanimous warrior, the legislator, philo sopher, and poet. We must not, therefore, be surprized if the multiplicity of labours of quite opposite natures should prevent our illustrious author from giving to his works that precision which, by condensing our ideas, increases their force and clearness ; nor should we be astonished that discordant images, and far fetched compa risons, too often render his diction obscure and prolix, and break the chain of his arguments, at all times imbued with a mysticand vague coloring. Rather let us do justice to all that is brilliant and solid in his imagination, to all that is ingenious and useful even in his fictions ; and let us con gratulate ourselves that his works have not been swallowed up in the gulf in which so many sub., lime productions have disappeared for ever. Let us also congratulate ourselves that he has attract ed the.attention of a writer so admirably quali tied to. communicate his works in a modern tongue. A profound Grecian, a judicious critic, M. Tourlet has succeeded in introducing perfect order into the text, and also 'completes it by fragments, w hich have been hitherto•un published or scattered about in various works. The trans lator, versed in . the knowledge of the philosophi cal systems of antiquity, has explOred at a single glance the intricacies of the labyrinth into which 'he has plUnged ; he trac,es..them with a firm and confident step, and establishes on just grounds the connection of the most obscure ideas. In all parts he is master of his • subject, and possesses the vigour of the original : he never adds any empty ornaments, but frequently imparts to it Additional splendour and clearness. -.M. Tourlet has. likewise enriched his fine work With learned antiquarian notes, which. are re markable for their ingenuity and truth, and serve as a key to the system of Julian. Convinced that •the public would interest itself more re specting the productions of an author whose his tory was known to them, M. Tourlet has very judiciously prefixed to his translation a minute account of the life of the Emperor Julian. This memoir must have cost him infinite labour and research : he has collected from a variety of sources a number of facts which were quite un known, and with which many events of great importance, and very valuable to history, are connected. The pencil of the translator is bold, firm, and brilliant : he paints with a manly and noble originality the striking contrasts of the physignomy of the Royal philosopher. The recovery of the works of Julian is an im portant service rendered to literature. What ever may be the wanderings of his ardent imagi nation, the productions of this lettered Emperor justly entitle him to be ranked among the cele brated men of antiquity ; his writings instruct, his person interests ; we love to contemplate such portraits; we love to see on the brow of Sovereigns the imperial crown united to the crown of letters and the arts, not that talent derives its splendor from the illustrious personage who cultivates it, but it is delightful to observe the great and powerful pay the tribute due to the arts and philosophy. We hope soon to be able to announce to our readers the appearance of the succeeding volumes of this translation. PRINCE ESTERITAZY AND SUITE. Early on Saturday morning last (the 25th inst.), his Excellency Prince PAUL:. ESTERIiAZT, Minister Extraordinary from the Emperor of Atistria to complement his Majesty on his Coronation, accompaned by the Prince Nicholas Esterhazy, Count Metternich (son to the Prime Minister of Austria), the Baron Fiord, and a medical gentleman, arrived at the Tontine Hotel, his Excellency and suite having cross ed the Irish Channel . from Donaghadee to Port Patrick in a steam-boat. At ten o'clock in the morning the Prince Was waited upon by the Lord Provost and Mr. Cleland, when his Excellency expressed a desire to visit the manufactories, and some of the public institutions. Open carriages were then or dered, and the distinguished strangers visited and examined the principal manufactories, &c. till four o'clOek, when the Magis trates and the Professors of the University had the honour of being introduced to his Excellency in the Town Hall, where an elegant 'collation was laid out. The Lord Provost and Mr. Cleland, who accompanied the Prince and his suite to the seve ral manufactories, had the honour of dining with them in the evening. His Excellency (who wore the rich orders of the Golden i Fleece and the Guelph), was cheered by great crowds of peo ple wherever he went. After assisting at Mass yesterday (Sunday, 26th instant), in the Catholic Chapel in Clyde-street, the Prince and his suite left this place for Buchanan House, on a visit to her Grace the Duchess of Montrose. We under stand-that the illustrious party are then to visit Edinburgh by the way of Stirling. The following are some of the principal manufactories and institutions which his Excellency visited :—Mr. Inglis's ma chine for singeing muslin, by red-hot cylind e rs ; th e gasome t er and gas-works; Messrs. Mitchell's manufactory for tambour ing rnusli. - .s by machinery; Messrs. Buchanan's callender, and chemical bleaching ; Mr. Humplirey's fire-proof cotton-mill ; Mr. Todd's mill for weaving muslins by machinery ; -Mr. Thompson's mill, ball-thread, and cotton carpet manufactory ; a number of steam-engines, steam-boats, &c. ; and Messrs. Henry Monteith and Co.'s bandana works at Barrowfield. bridge ; the college, public library, and Hunterian museum ; the collection of medals ; the lunatic asylum, &c. His Excel lency and suite expressed their high approbation of what they saw ; and were greatly delighted with the chemical experiments of discharging, bleaching, and printing, at Messrs. Monteith and Co.'s works, and with the immense water pressure of 249 tons, invented and improved by the ingenious manager, Mr. George Rogers, whose description of the whole process gave great pleasure to Prince Esterhazy. His Excellency conde scended to examine the apparatus for burning the smoke in one of Messrs. Monteith's furnaces, and was quite delighted with the results which are likely to arise from the invention. He was also pleased to express his marked approbation of the Public Park and the general appearance of the town.—(G LA'S , GOW HERALD.)

THE CORONATION COMMITTEE.--The Corona -. Lion Committee of Master Tradesmen have pub., lished a detailed account of the expenditure con nected with the celebration of his MAJESTY'S Coronation in this town. They have also pub lished a similar account of the pecuniary relief which was on that glorious occasion administer ed„, out ,of the Coronation Fund, to the unem ployed mechanics and other poor persons. It appears from this statement, that the sum ex , . pended in the celebration of the Coronation was only 649/. 10s. 7d. When we consider the splendid manner in which the Committee got up the procession on that occasion, we cannot but congratulate them on having managed to display so much pomp with . so much economy. But the most gratifying of all the transactions of - that proud d ay - was the pecuniary relief which the Committee were enabled, by the liberality of their fellow-townsmen, to extend to 5715 poor and deserving individuals. The distribution of this fund must have been as gratifying to the A hnoners of the public bounty, as it was joyfully and thankfully received by its numerous reci pients. The Committee have now concluded their useful and valuable labours. They retire into the bosoms of their families with the proud con sciousness of having discharged, faithfully and zealously, an important public duty, and ac companied by the grateful applause of a com munity who properly appreciate the talent, ac tivity, and perseverance which marked all their proceedings.—( Liverpool Courier, Aug. 29.)

SOLEM QUIS DICIiRE FALSUM AUDEAT? LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1821. Under the head " TURKEY AND Russra," we have in another column inserted an article from Vienna, in which it is alleged that the Turkish Government have acceded to the demands of Russia ; and that peace will consequently be preserved. We shall net be surprised to find that this statement is a mere stock-jobbing operation. If so, it has answered its pur pose ; as the funds rose one-half per cent. yesterday in consequence of the intelligence. It should be remembered that there are persons interested in tl►e English funds at Vienna as well as in London ; and that fabricated ac counts of this kind are almost certain to effect their object before the falsehood can be de tected.—We leave the article, however, to the judgment of our Readers. They will see that the pretended articles of the Ultimatum are much more moderate than it is likely that Russia has proposed,—that they are of such a nature as to render it improbable that the Divan, (in the pre sent situation of Turkey, without Allies and with a civil war raging in the provinces), would have so long deliberated upon them,—and that the conduct attributed to Baron STROGONOFF is not very consistent with that which may be expected of a person placed in his circumstances. The next arrivals, however, will most likely deter mine the question. We shall be grieved, indeed, if the Greeks are abandoned to their fate in the manner which this Vienna article represents. A Dutch Mail reached us this morning, of which we subjoin the couteutsi 44 ANTWERP, AUG. 27.---The Mercury of Ant werp contains an extract from a private letter from Madrid of 12th Aug., in which it is stated that his Majesty has signified to the Permanent Commission of the Cortes, chat he should not confirm the Decree of the 28th June relative to the debt due to Holland, because he considered it as not equitable ; that he feared also, in case it W6 - re carried into execution, it would give a severe blow to the public credit, which cannot be reco vered from the lamentable state in which it now is, except by a punctual fulfilment of obligations which were contracted in good faith. His Ma jesty, it is further stated, has likewise announ ced that he shall charge his Minister of Finance to propose, in the approaching Session of the Cortes, a new plan for the payment of this debt, which would be more conformable to equity and more honourable to the nation. ANBTERDAM, AUG-. 27.—His Majesty's fri gate Algiers was launched to-day, in the pre sence of an immense concourse of spectators : it received its name in honour of the day, which is the anniversary of the great victory gained over the Algerines by the English and Netherland squadrons. 46 LEIPSIG, AUG. 10.—Though the troubles in Greece are more sensibly felt here than in other places, by the influence they have in injuring our fairs and our trade in general, a Society has, _ . however, been formed, under the direction of American rnerchants, for the purpose of affording pecuniary assistance to all military men who are disposed to enter into the service of the Greeks. Officers receive from 150 to 200 dollars, subal terns the half. 4C FRANKFORT, AUG. 18.—An ardent desire to effect a union" among the Protestants of the two Commissions is observed on both sides of the Rhine. What formerly divided them time has caused gra dually to disappear. They have returned to what is essential, and not disputed by either party.-- Already, in 1817, those of the Duchy of Nas sau concluded a bond of union. In the follow ing year, the Protestants in the Bavarian Circle of the Rhine imitated this example; and the newspapers now state, that the General Synod, which has been assembled at Carlsruhe, has led to a similar result for the Grand Duchy of Baden'• The union of the Protestants in the Circle o f the Rhine has mean time become more and more consolidated. The whole of the external forms of the Church have received a more appropriate appearance. Ilitherto, however, these united Churches wanted uniformity in their Psalmody, the Liturgy, and the instruction of youth. These obstacles are, however, now to be removed. For this purpose, his Majesty has approved of the pro posal of the Supreme Consistory for calling 3 general Synod, to he held in this Circle. It ; 5 to meet on the second of September, in the town of Kaiserslautern, and may last, according t° circumstances, 12 or 14 days. The Synod is composed of a Royal Commissioner, a Supreme Consistorial Counsellor, the Deans of the Circle, 15 Ministers, 16 lay Deputies : in all, 51 Members." The answer of Lord BATHURST to the Pin ci r, letter of Mr. Sheriff WArrumiNc, states, that h" Lordship had ordered an inquiry into th , . cumstances of the disgraceful riot at Knights bridge, previous to the receipt of Mr. WAlT''' . ALIN'S communication ; and that the r e present 4 i tions, which had b een ma d e to hi s L or d s hip ° the affair, differed in many. essential partioda ls from the stat emen t o f th e Sh er iff !

N o w', t rt l truth is, that Mr. WArrumAN left the groom' immediately after the soldiers had been w it/1 ; drawn, whereas h e oug ht not to h ave l e ft it anti` after the mob had been dispersed. It is not true that when he retired tranquillity had been stored.

On Thursday, the 30th of August, a Grand Lodge was' held at the Audit - House, Southampton, by his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, M.W.G. Master of England. The Lodge was opened in ampre'fcrrm;. : and the re gular charge having been given, ,the 111.W.G.M. retired to the adjoining room, where, according to ancient order, Sir War. C. DE CRESPICXY, Bart. M.P. was installed P.G. Master of Hampshire, and several 'Wasters of Lodges were installed. Returning to the P.G. Lodge, the Royal G. Master of England spoke in high and cordial terms of the honourable person who had just been inducted to the Right Worshipful Office of P.G. Master, a situation which his Royal Highness considered him as eminently calculated to support. The Brethren, amounting to about LOO, then walked in procession to the Church of All Saints. Having heard an excellent sermon by Brother Hor- RINS, of Winchester, the Brethren returned to the Audit House, and his Royal Highness honoured the P. G. Officers with the right hand of fellowship, in impressive terms, recom mending to the Craft the continuance of that unanimity and order which have been so long the characteristics of Freema sons, and expressing his satisfaction with the proceedings of the day, took leave of the Brethren. His Royal Highness seemed in excellent health and spirits, conducting himself throughout the ceremonial with that union of dignity and .grace which were fitted to excite in all present feelings of re spect and attachment.
