RUSSIA AND TURKEY. CoNstANTINOPLE, JuNS rerresetita tions of the Russian Minister Count Von StitoGo ts:or, which were founded on the most reasonable nod j 41,4 demands 0rR115313.. seem not to have led to any thing deeis;ve in the Divan. The influence of the Grand Vizier over the Reis Effendi and the Jiiiernie . r, had hindered it. The Sultan, %Ow bad, on the other hand, .earnei , ly desired a good on. derstanding with Russia, addressed, on the 3:1 n :Starch, to the Grand Vizier the following ever getic and remarkable Reseript, or 11A1,11-SitP.HIF " There have many and long delinerations been aiready held upon the Note which the Husslai Ambassador has delivered, yet no Journal of your sittings has been !ail before us. It is now above 40 days since this business was before you for dis cussion. Why have you not yet come to any reso lution upon it ? From this delay we must believe that you employ yourselves in your sittings only on things of no consequence. Will you then Wait till the Russian Ambassador is angry, and proceeds to threats 1 It you believe that war is Itnivoidable, think on the means of defence.— Sbew ns minutely the necessary 'causes of' war, and the extent of the resources which volt will employ. But, on the other hand, if time and circumstances Jo not allow us to undertake a war, im vent the discontent of the Russian Ambassa dor as soon as possible, by a suitable answer." The impression which this Rescript made on the Divan was easily to be foreseen. It gave nc ension to a second, which was in the following terms : " AA my Ministers, after mature consieration of all the circumstances, have considered it neces sary to dire up all thoughts of war, and to embrace the wise part of reconciliation, it is absolutely ne cessary that the conferences should be immediate ly opened, and that the Note in question should h e d?livered without delay by the Reis Effendi to the Russian Ambassador. But the greatest care must be taken that this Note be well and clearly (haw!) up, and nut like the first, in which there was no sense at all, in order to give Russia t o understand ihat it is our intention to arrange wtailers umicubly." The inclination of the Grand Signior to peace, and this decisive language, seem sufficient to cause the NI of the opposite party. The Grand Vizier received a severe reprimand ; but his instrument, the Reis Effendi, was disgra::ed, and his office given to the Djanit Effepli, a man who has al ready frequently that place.

Yesterday and this morning «•e, received the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday last. We find in some of the Jouraali of the tanner day the 'ollowing paragraph : " An English frigate has arrived at Leghorn to ake on board five millions of money. This sum is the amount of the reimbursement made to England by the King of SARDINIA fur the expences of the war." According to letters from Spain, neatly the whole of the Spanish cavalry, to the number of 2,000 (another Paper says 20,000) were about to assem ble in Andalusia. It is added that they were to embark 3 or 40J at a time for South America. Another article states that 11 men arc to be taken by lot from each regiment of the line in Spain, and the whole force thus assembled, amounting to about 6,000, is to be sent to South America. " CURACOA, I.lAncu 29.—Two Gentlemen, who lately arrived here from Pue.ito• Cabello, have po litely favoured us with the following particulars of the operations of the Patriotic squadron on that • part of the coast : On the 21st inst. sailed from La Gayra in separate Launches from Puerto-Cabello. On the 23d, within a short distance of Ocumares, both launches were captured by two patrio tic •:ruizers, one a schooner,. called the Diana, and another a brig, the Indio Libre ; the former commanded by a Frenchman named Du bois, and the latter• by a native of the same nation, called Bernard. After being taken on board the squadron, we were treated with the greatest politeness, which continued while we re mained on board. Neither our money nor clo!hes i were taken from us, hat, on the contrary, the Commandant having told us that it is the firm intention of. Brian and Bolivar to pu nish, in the most exemplary manner, every act of that kind. The independent schooner is pierced f0r . 20 gons, but only mounts 4 carronades on a side, and 1 brass long 10-pounder. The brig is pierced for 22 guns, but only Carries 12 carCpu, ades, and 2 long 9's . . The former has 97 men, and the latter 130. No doctor or ttiedicine•chest on board ; little provisions ; and ma trued by a desperate set of fellows, composed of all nations, but more particularly Frenchmen.' " APRIL 12.---The Indio Libre, having sailed from Aruba for the coast of Coro, is said to have encountered in the port of Tapes, the Spanish brigantine Neptune, from Rio-de-la-Hatch, where she bad arrived from Vera Cruz, with specie, armed with four guns and 28 pounder traversing amidships, and after a short action, captured her. Report also Says, that Part of the Indio Lih r e s crew was transferred to her, with some additional guns, and that the two vessels are now critizing together." Au attempt was about to be mule on Monday night to effect the escape of MAUBHEUIL from the Conciergerie 2t Rouen but the Police, having ob tained information of the project, succeeded in frustrating it. These Papers state, that several Members of the British Parliament had arrived at Paris. General CERISE, accused, it is said, of being one or the seditious individuali who caused the disturbances at Liege, was arrested on Monday on his arrival at Paris, and conveyed to the Prefec ture of Police. He is stated in his answers to have shewn symptoms of mental derangement.— A person of the name of GUYON, the Chief of the revolters at Chateau Thierry, was also arrested on Monday. General BELA/R, who was arrested at the sante time with 31adatne L,Y,►LETTE, has been set at liberty. These Journals announce the death of General TI`OUVRNOT, at Orly, near Paris. The Arch►luchess MARIA LOUISA, Duchess of PArtmA, arrived at Leghorn on the Bth instant, to take leave of her sister, the Princess Royal of PORTUGAL, previous to her embarkation for the Brazils. The 15th Bulletin respecting the Duchess de IlErtuY, which is to he the last, announces her loyal Highness to be in the most satisfactory 'he following are Extracts from Friday's Papers : • " PARIS, JULY 25.—The Duke of Wellington set out yesterday for his hand-quarters at C2Oll - Before his departure, Mr. Baring paid him a visit, and had a long conference with his Grace.

" The Court, without deciding on the first point, and saying they could not meddle with the second, determined that the Condor came in a character which entitled her, by the lan's of na• "tions, to protection from civil procesP, and conse quently Ow: this relevin was improperly brought the Court, therefore, decided the replevin to he dis Continued, and the vessel to he given up to the defendant in the s:tme state as when the replevin was executed.

I;o;ivar, and informs me that a Bulletin from the army of Ge neral Piar, which was in Guayana, haul been re- ceived there, the contents of which are in the following terms : The enemy, having sailied forth from the said place, to the number of 1500 men, was induced by our army to approach the Batik of S4ll Felipe, in which place an action 'was given on the lith of April last, commin n uted by Gen. Piar. As all the enemy's forc'e's consistefi of infantry, they fotimed themselves into a stolid. column ; but ours, which consisted of •infantry and cavalry, awaited them in battle array ; and the action commencing at eight o'clock in the morning, concluded after some few hours in the complete defeat of the enemy, who tound them= selves surrounded and cut off on erery side. Its consequence of this engagement there were taken 500 prisoners, among them 200 Spaniards ; the Governor of Guayana, Ceruti, and also 17 ()di cers of distinction. The reniainderof Ike army was left upon the field of battle ; hut Brigadier La Torre escaped, with,only 30 or 40 carabineers well mounted. There were taken 90D musket!, 25,000 mu , ket cartridges, one field-piece, tyro stand of colours, 12 martial drums, three trum pets, eight cornets, and the complete trait) of their baggage. Our loss consisted of little more or less than 100 men in wounded and killerl ; and among them . is to be lamented that of the brave otTicers -Colonel Cl.)ipia, and Lieutenant Colonel Llndacta. This i 3 in substance the contents of the Bulletins; yet it is well known here that an emissary bad been dispatched to the fortress with a letter from Cc curt, assuring them that they should he treated in conformity to the rights of men, Ipit as the emissary did not return to our camp, the 17 S pan i s h offi cers, pri soners, were shot, as well as.
