" CONSTANTINOPLE. AUG. 23.—During the last fortnight the plague has spread in a moat disas trous wanner in this Capital, and at Vera and Bu ju-kdera. 11e k affrighted inhabitants precipitately abandon their homes. The Turks themselves be gin to feel the attacks of this scourge. Ten per sons have died in the suite of the Grand Vi zier. The Intendant of the Dcpot of Slaves, Nebo had temporarily received a young man since attacked by the plague, has fled front the house. After the death of the youngest sun of the Austrian Internuncio, who fell a victim to this contagion, the whole Legation has retired to Bel l o ade, a place situate a league to the north of liujukdera. • ‘VARSAW, SEPT. 15. —The Fête of the Emperor and King was celebrated here on the 1/th, in the most solemn manner.— The troops on parade amounted to nea 'y thirty thousand men. Twenty-four battalions of lufantty, with the Guard, 43 squadrons of Ca.. 'fairy, and a train of Artillery of lOU pieces of cannon, defiled before the Grand Doke.

PETERSBU ttGLI, SEPT. 9.—The harvest is most itundant in almost all the provinces of the Em- Dire. The weather cominucs fine and serene, but the temperature begins already to be cold, and 4 41nounces an early winter. " new loin) for diminishing the raper-mo• /ley is very succesbittl, alai brings I►ere much fu ttign capital." If On congratulated theCitzens of London on the Progress of the Election in favour of Mr. Alder ibati CiluisToPHEß SMITH, we feel still greater ileasure in the opportunity of congratulating them on its triumphant tertnination in the suc ttas of that Gentleman. Ile is one of those re spectable characters who ought at all times to e' . prominent in the greatest City in the /tut besides his own proper claims, ou the score t 'f ability, personal merit, public spirit, and an P illinent station in society, lie has also swing lretensions to the protection and favour of his i 'llow-citizens on. the ground of seniority, from l ''hich he was excluded last year by cabal, artifice, 4 ttd (action. But it is not only on the triumph of a meritorious individual that we congra ‘aliite The City on this occasion, for it is triamph also over SEDITION and IMPIETY.— Ne of the wretches who attempted to defeat the " 14 tt claims of Mr. Alderman CHRISTOPHER SMITH, 411 4 to force the present LORD MAYOR once more 14 t0 . the Office, has gloried in his praise of Ante t;„ that it has " No KING—No Loa—and HO tlesT." We need not dwell on the impu loce of the man who could thus presume obtrude himself on the City, or on the folly ct those who conceived that the assistance of 4 ell a man could do otherwise than degrade their -;t 1 . , ite, and expose it to discomfiture and contempt. t 5. we chiefly Exult that 'TILE CITY has on this freseoed its character, and bestowed its t wv Our as justice, good-sense, true patriotism, ‘44 a sense of national dignity, directed.— '0 useful, and indeed important lessons may be Fitted from the final issue of the Election yester )4Y-' It is evident, that when the Citizens of : 4 4don are roused by a sense of justice, and 11 insulted by the efforts of those who feel neitlrer . 4. dt Y to the State, nor reverence for their GOD, latter can have no chance of success. An 4er important lesson to be derived front this 'ttion in THE CITY, relates to the proposed 'rage in the CONSTITUTION by ANNUAL I'ARLIA• t b 4 TS. If the City of London has been distinbeti ti seven days by the arts and the clamours INNOVATORS and ATHEISTS, what might be ex ted every year throughout the British Empire, ; : t the same riot and confusion, or rather riot Confusion of ten-fold violence and uproar ! would our boasted Constitution, the envy of 4 ther States, be laid prostrate in the dust, the „ I t t l of Anarchy ivoidd commence, the dreadful 1.1.( 1rs of a Gallic Revolution would destroy the ;, 11 1'itte..ss of Englishmen, and the Country at last tinder the galling weight of some military '11()% 81-111) NEWS: The English brig Augusta, from Newfoundland to 'Genoa, was boarded on the 12th tilt. 4 leaves W. of Cadit, by an Insurgent schooner, who in formed the Captain that he made four captures ; among them a ship and a brig.

THE' H EATRE. The return of Mr. KEAN last 'night to Drury- Lane Theatre naturally attracted a numerous audience, more particularly as he. appeared in Richard the Third, the character in which he is held to be chiefly excellent._ lie was received with the most gratifying marks of public applause, and, according to modern custom, was honoured by a laurel wreath thrown upon the Stage. ,Ile certainly did not exert himself with his usual spirit in the earlier .scenes, but the langour of the audience roused him into action, and he kindled as he proceeded. We shall not dilate on his performance of a character in which be has been seen so often, and in which he seems to have gained the stamp of public approbation, but we advise him not to let the consciousness of fame betray him into indolence. Fame is only to be kept by continued exertion, and,in his profession, is easily transferred to a Competitor, whose chief pretensions may arise from novelty. We shall say no more. at present, but leave him to profit by the hint.—Fore resumed the part of King Henry, and Mrs. GLoVER that of the Queen, and both acquitted themselves respectably. WINDSOR, OCT. 6.—The PRINCE REGENT ar rived at the Castle yesterday, to dine with the QUEEN and his Royal Sisters, and afterwards re turned to London.

It appears certain that the QUEEN and PRINCESSES will pass some weeks here as last year, hut no thing as yet has transpired as to the precise time of their visit. Yesterday the LADY MAYORESS and her two daughters, accompanied by several Ladies and Gentlemen, visited the female prisoners in New gate ; they were conducted through the various compartments by Mr. BRowN, the Keeper, Mrs. Far, and several other L a die'S belonging to the Society of Friends (who occasionally visit the female prisoners, and employ them in useful works, and give them religious instruction), and were much pleased with the cleanliness and regu larity of the prison.

GYMNASTICS.—There was a meeting of Boxing Amateurs yesterday at Lum!ey's Hotel, to fix upon the ground for combat this day between Scroggins and Turner, who fight their second battle, for 150 guineas aside. The articles state that the match should not be fought within 25 miles of London, but this part was waived, with the consent of Turner and Scroggins, and their backers, who were present, and instead of Cop thorpe Common, 19 miles West of London was fixed upon. Betting is 7 to 4 on Turner, and bath men. think promisingly of themselves. The Commissary-General left to mark out the ground yesterday, accompanied by his forces. Mr. Sivaw RICHT has rendered a great service to his Brother Office-keepers, by setting the exam ple of . moderate Prices, for the Public now buy twice as many Tickets and Shares as they used to do ;—he has much me, it also in having introduced new feature into Schemes, whereby the Public are much benefited, for the Number of Blanks are decreased, and the Value of the Tickets in creased. in the Lottery which •is to commence 7th of NOVEMBER, there are Six Prizes of 20,000/. !! a number quite unprecedented, and it will be recollected the Last 20,0001. was sold in Shares at SIVgWRIGHT'S Offices. " Faint heart never won fair lady."—Those who wish to succeed in love or in fortune should be ardent in their advances, and petsevering in their endeavours.

We understand that Government have it in in tention to put the Harbour and River of Milford in a more secure state than it has hitherto been ; for that purpose, Colonel Brom belonging to the Engineer Department of the Ordnance, is now at Milford, taking a survey of the Harbour, &c. pre paratory to the erection of batteries upon the most eligible points of defence. This is certainly a highly commendable proceeding, when the in• creasing magnitude of the new Dock-yard is con sidered, and the very inadequate state of security in which tliFt Harbour has so long continued. Mr. THOMAS COOK, Admiralty Midshipmen of the Rochefort, has invented a lite buoy, which is likely to be of very great utility in the preserva tion of the lives of seamen who may happen to tall overboard at sea during the night. Thi s b uo y is so constructed as to contain a quantity of on extinguishable matter, which, on letting go the buoy from the stern of the ship, is set fire to, and continues to burn for, a considerable time above the surface of the water, thereby pointiag oat 1U the person overboard a place of safety until further assistance can be sent to him. Trial was made of it alongside the Rochefort, on Wednesday last, in the presence of Admiral Sir Edward 'Thom brought, it. C. 13.
