The following are extracts : " PiLius, AuG. 5.—A commercial house at Marseilles has received from his correspondent at Trieste, a printed bulletin, by which the Go vernor of the latter town informs the merchants, that a war between the Porte and Russia is al- most quite certain. 4 C By the same channel we learn, that the Aus trian Ambassador at Constantinople was as closely watched as the Russian Minister. FRENCH FUNDS. Aug. 4, Five per Cents. Bank Stock , 1530 f. c. CC VIENNA, JULY 25.—Yesterday an English Cabinet Courier passed through this capital in his way to Petersburg with dispatches. " It is affirmed that the Emperor Alexander has left his capital for the army of Vollunia, and it is generally supposed that his Imperial Majesty's arrival at the head-quarters of Count de Wittgenstein will be the signal of important events. ." It is said that the Porte has not only refused to give the satisfaction demanded by the Cabinet of Petersburg, but also insists that all the Greeks who have taken refuge in the Russian territory shall be given up. " The probability of a war between Turkey and Russia has, it is reported, determined the Servians to rise against the Turks ; and it is even said that a battle has been fought near Miza, the second town in Se.rvia. " The English Legation frequently receives dispatches from its Government, which are im mediately communicated to our Minister of Fo reign Affairs : they appear to relate to the pre sent state of Turkey. We expect, however, that the first courier from Petersburg will be the bearer of dispatches which will put an end to all uncertainty on this point. "We learn from Odessa, that a squadron, composed of Algerine vessels, and of some ships belonging to the Pacha of Egypt, which were sent to the assistance of the Ottoman fleet, has been defeated, and many of them captured by the Greek fleet, 'which cruizes between the Islands of Candia and Cyprus. It is added, that a fresh Turkish fleet, consisting of nine ships of war, has sailed through the Dardanelles. " Letters from Constantinople state, that since the last bad news from the Morea arrived, a meeting or-the Ministers took place on the 2.3 d of June. They determined on endeavour ing to engage the Janissaries to select from among their body a corps to proceed to the Morea in defence of islamism ; but not only did the representatives of the Janissaries, who have seats in the Divan, refuse to accede to this pro position, but they added, that their constituents had changed their opinions respecting the new regulations, which they before approved, and that every thing ought to revert to the old footing. CC FRANKFORT, J ULY 30.—1 t is reported that the new Emperor of China has been assassinated: 44 We have received letters from Corfu which announce the continued success of the Greeks in the Morea u who have compelled the Turks to evacuate all their fortified towns in that province. Epirus and the neighbouring countries are in complete insurrection. The Greeks have sent 3000 men to the assistance of Ali Pacha, who has thus been enabled to drive the Turks % from Joannina and Trikala. The insurgents have formed a large camp in Macedonia ; and an Ottoman fleet, which ventured into the waters of Corinth, was immediately captured. 44 Several districts of Walachia addressed, on the 21st of June, a letter to the Russian Consul, in which they entreat the assistance of his Sove reign, afte: having enumerated all the atrocities committed by the Turks against the Greek nation. 64 On the 16th of this month a letter reached Trieste, announcing that Adrianople, the second town in European Turkey, containing 130,000 inhabitants, and only 55 leagues from Constanti nople,had fallen into the hands of the Greeks after a sanguinary battle. The latter are said to have lost 6,000 men and one of their Generals named Duroc, supposed to be a Frenchman. This news, however wants confirmation. " The last letters from Constantinople came down to the sth of July. The preparations for the defence of the capital are actively pursuing. It is said the Grand Signior will put himself at the head of the army, in the event of a decla ration of war on the part of Russia. It was also proposed to display solemnly the stand ard of Mahomet, in- order to collect all the true believers for the defence of the Crescent. The Ottoman troops on the left bank of the Danube have received reinforcements, and more are expected from Constantinople. On their side, the nussians are on the alert, and wait only for orderi to advance. " The reports in circulation respecting the arrest of Prince Ypsilanti are void of all foundation. This chief of the Greeks has taken a circuitous route, and ought, by this time, to have reached the Morea." GREAT REDUCTION IN THE ARMY.—Ministers are on a large scale redeeming the pledge which they gave at the close of the last SessioU of Parliament, and which Was promised from the Throne, to practise every possible retrench ment. We are now enabled to state in an authen tic manner, that the following reductions are de termined upon, viz.:— Two Regiments of Cavalry to be disbanded, v z.: the 18th and 19th Light Dragoons. Two troops to be reduced in each of the remaining regi. meats. Two companies to be reduced in each of the battalions of Foot Guards and Infantry of the Line. The whole reduction to amount to about TWELVE THOU SAND Officers and men. The saving of expenditure by this important measure will not be less than six hundred thousand pounds per annum !—We take the liberty to sug gest, that when annunciatious of great public in terest are made by G overnment, they should appear in an official form in the London Gazette, or at least that they should be sent without distinction to all the daily newspapers, for publication. We have, on a former occasion, thrown out this hint; and we are more and more satisfied of its pro priety. When any fact, calculated to be grati fying to the people, is communicated in a demi official manner, only through the medium of this or of the other papers which generally support Ministers, the Opposition Writers never fail to throw discredit, as much as possible, upon the statement, by the manner in which they introduce it to their readers:—such as, "We copy from a Ministerial Journal, so and so ;" and, 44 if this should turn out to be correct ;"—" but so little reliance is to be placed on the intentions of Minis ters," &c. &c. Now, if all annunciations of great importance were at once Gazetted, or if the same official statement were given both to the Opposition and the Ministerial publications, the gratification of the public, on any event of interest, would be undiminished by the doubt and distrust, which a certain class of persons never fail to create, by the air of sagacity with which their ifs and their buts are cast upon it. For our own part, from our general attachment to Government, and our sin cere and anxious desire to see the public mind as much as possible tranquillized, and gratified by the conduct of their Rulers,we are quite willing to waive the advantage - which no doubt arises from THE SUN being considered as one of the demi. official organs of the Government, and should be truly glad to find that the course which we have recommended is acted upon in future.--However ) with regard to the intended reductions : though retrenchment and economy are certainly in themselves desirable, and we cannot but re joice, in some respects, that this boon is granted to the wishes of the people, yet the measure is not so much one of unmixed good and congratu lation as many persons may suppose. We shall say nothing here of the probability of a war in Europe, though, if appearances are to be trusted, the commencement of hostilities is not far distant : and at such a moment it would be any thing but good policy on the part of England, to diminish her armed force. But, with reference to our do mestic condition alone, the effects will not and cannot be so immediately felt to be beneficial as most persons may be disposed to think.— Indeed two or three 'years at the least must elapse before the advantages of this proceeding can be observable, while its immediate conse quences, except in a financial point of view, must be injurious. It is pretty generally admitted, that one of the principal causes of the existing difficulties of the country is the very lozo price of labour, in many of the branches of national in dustry,—the consequent injury inflicted upon the home market for every description of produce, — and the very low price to which all kinds of produce are thus necessarily reduced. Now, it must be remembered, that the object of the intended reductions is not to enable taxes to be immediately taken cf, though it will WU- matily produce that effect, in proportion to its efficacy in reducing the amount of the national debt, This is not, however,the immediate object of the reductions. Their immediate object is only to improve the finances of the country,—to place our income and expenditure in a more pros perous relation to each other than they now bear. But, though this is in itself a very desirable re sult, and though it is, indeed, a financial opera tion, which is indispensable ; yet it is not one which was necessarily dependent upon retrench-1 ment. It could have been effected by increasing the income, as well as by diminishing the expenditure. Ministers, probably in deference to public opinion, have preferred the latter mode ; and it is only right that the public should be made acquainted with the peculiar disadvantages as well as the advantages of the course which has been adopted. That course ) so far from immediately diminishing the public burthens, must immediately enlarge them, by increasing the poor's-rates ; besides to a cer tain extent occasioning a further depression in the value of labour, and inflicting a further injury on the home market, both for foreign and domes tic commodities. The beneficial result, as we have already stated, is remote, and is purely financial. The market for labour, already over stocked and injuriously depressed, is about to have twelve thousand able-bodied men suddenly thrown upon it. The disbanded soldiers. must increase the depression; and must either be thrown for subsistence upon the poor-rates, or they must displace, and throw upon the.parishes, a certain portion of the labourers who now have employment ; and thus, by increasing rather than diminishing the burthens of the people, the reductions must tend rather to aggravate than to relieve the difficulties under which all classes now labour. POETRY. TO THE ROSE. BY 11--...-4 T. Nature's fairest flower adorr:ing All the variegated vale, Wet with pearly dews of morning, Breathing fragrance to the gale: Tho' the rising sun-beams render Thy rich crimson fresh and gay, Yet thy transitory splendour Lasteth but one little day. Ere the Sun's bright rays declining, Paint with red the azure sky, Those vermilion cheeks so shining, All shall wither, fade, and die. Thus joy's short-liv'd pleasures tasting ; Youth exults in early bloom, Till some storm its beauty blasting, Sinks it to the silent tomb. REGISTER OF FASHION.

Mr. OWEN.—We have procured a more cor rect r.port than has hitherto appeared of the speech delivered at Mr. COKE'S Agricultural Meeting, by Mr. OWEN, of New Lanark. This interesting address, which contains some impor tant facts, and unfolds enlightened and cheering views, will be found in our front page. Mr. OWEN'S indefatigable exertions for the promo tion of his benevolent plans, we , understand, .are now likely to be speedily crowned with success. The subscription for the formation of one of his establishments, on the farm of Mother well, is rapidly proceeding, and already exceeds twenty thousand pounds. The land of Mother well is offered on perpetual lease, for the pur pose, at a grain rent, by the wise and philanthro pic feelings of its owner, A. J. IlAmiLvoN, of Dalyell, Esq., a gentleman who thoroughly un derstands Mr. OWEN'S views; and with whom he is on terms of intimate friendship. A German house has failed this morning in the City. AGRICULTURE.—JOHN LOCKWOOD, Esq. .of Beverley, in the spring of this year, for the sake of experiment, and by way of employing the poor, caused the half of a twenty acres field to be digged or graved over by a spade, and the other half 'to be ploughed ; the former at an expense of 31. 6s. per acre, and the latter at 10s. per acre ; the whole was then sown with beans, and now looks very well ; but judges at present give the preference to the ploughed part ; and they ac connt for it by supposing the spade to have gone tooideep and turned up an inferior soil. The next crop will be wheat, and it will then be seen how far spade husbandry will answer in this part of the country for the proprietor or wealthy farmer : as to the poor agriculturist such an ex pensive mode of preparing the land is to him totally out of the question. The field here alluded to is situate on the right of and adjoining the road leading from Beverley to Walkington, and about half a mile distant from the latter place.— (Rockingham Paper.) CORN-EXCHANGE, AUGUST B.—The market supply this morning consists of the remains of Monday's mar ket, and no flesh arrivals added to it. The wetness of the day caused rather a brisker demand for Wheats than on Monday ; but no variation in the prices, which remain as quoted on Mon day for the different sorts of grain. There is a misconception respecting a Proctor from Doctors' Commons being engaged in prepar ing her MAJESTY'S Will, whilst her Attorney and Solicitor General were in attendance.

On the evening of Friday' week, during the performance of Rob Roy, at the Boston Thea tre, the pistol of one of the characters was fired A so near one of the attendants on the stage, a private in the 3d Royal Lancashire Militia, that the wadding struck him on the eye, and forced it completely from the socket. DARING ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER. —A few nights ago, Mr. Walker, a gardener, in .the Kingsland-road, having had his gardens con tinually plundered in the night, he, for the pur pose of finding out the thief ) concealed himself amongst some peas. About twelve o'clock, he perceived a tall ill-looking fellow scaling the fence, and watched his movements ; the robber broke open the tool house, and having entered, Mr. W. left his hiding place, and rushed into the shed ; a struggle ensued between the robber and Mr. - Walker ; the former seized a quart pot, an'd most inhumanly beat Mr. W. about the head till he was nearly dead. The villain then scaled the fence and escaped, leaving his victim welter- . frig in his blood. After some time, Mr. W. in some degree recovered, and with difficulty got home. Mr. Bowen, a surgeon, was sent for, who-• dressed the wounds on his head, which were very extensive. The villain has as yet escaped justice. A flight of about 18 or 20 of those very rare and beautiful Lirds, the Crossbill (Loxiu curvi rostra,) were seen last week at West Felton in Shropshire. They alighted on some pine and larch trees. They were of various colours, brown, green, yellow, and crimson, and some of them of . a most beautiful rose colour, hanging and climb ing on the branches of the trees in fanciful atti- . tudes, and strongly resembled a large group of . small paroquets. They are natives of the Pyrenees.
