The Porte has given limier to the Ministers of the Christian

pa MI by the Imperial treasury, but henceforward they will not be
horimind. 'flits.deelanition has caused a great sensation among
the Europeans; it is Inferred (nun it not only that the exchequer of
the Sultan is totally exhausted, but also that after the disasters of
the campaign, the 'Avon has come to tile resolution to abandon the

By the arrival of the General Palmer from Madras, from
whence she sailed on the lot of August, we have received
letters and papers from Calcutta to the listh of July. The
intelligence we have thus obtained respecting the progress
' of the Burmese war is, upon the whole, highly gratifying.
In the Colcuita (;,,,itte Extraordinary of the I uth of July
we have a dispatch from Sir Ascarsu.n C•se rs et., de-
tailing the succe.ses he had gained over the enemy. These
enemies are not of sufficient magnitude to be in theroaelves
productive of any ►esults decisive of the mit/ st, but it is
of great importance that in these instances sonic of the moat
desperate of the Burmese forces have been compelled to
abandon their stockades in miler to escape front the destruc-
tive effects of our artillery. They hare now found, by a
dreadful ems rien:c, that if they remain in the stockades,
we can with comparative ease, and almost without loss, ex-
terminate them. The impression made upon them is thus
described in the official account :—" The terro- of our arms
at present prevails among the troops lately opposed to us,
and front one or two reconnoitering peril, a which hare
since been out, I find that every stockade in our neigh-
bourhood has ben evacuated." We have also the official
centirsnation of the capture of Clteduba. The casualties
in these affairs have been but trifling on our part, while
the loss sustained by the enemy has been considerable.
The advices from Calcutta state that the alarm some time
before felt as to an incursion into Bengal from Ramo e lad
cotnpletely subsided. Some private letters from Madras al-
lude to au alleg. il misunderstanding between the Governor
General and a military officer of the highest rank, which it
is represented had led to very serious consequences. We
shall the more deeply regret to leant that this information is
correct, because it appears, as we anticipated, that the Bur-
mese war is likely to be both tedious and expensive. The
troops lent in the first expedition are not considered as mall-
cient for the purpose, and the transports which conveyed than
have therefore been despatched to Madras and Calcutta, to
bring additional supplies of men and stores. The force upon
the Eastern frontier is also to be strengthened. The fol..
lowing is an extract of a private letter from Calcutta :

6. Nines we last adiliessed you on the 14th of June. there him
been an almost total cessation of busing, in consequence of the
agents of flovernmcnt In the interior having seized all the boats
on the liver, for the transportation of troops and stores towards
the eastern frontier, and they have even unloaded the native
craft proceeding upwards, in consequence of which we cannot
get r, merchant to purchase a cue of goods, as they argue tha
shipments made • n onth hence, are likely to reach their desti-
tution as NOD as those made at the present moment."

The argument before the twelve Judges on the writ of
error in Mr. FAUXTLENOT.II case was not concluded yes-
terday. Our readenvokill find a very full and accurate
report of Mr. Banneincies able address. When Mr.
Sergeant IlosaNuvLT, in support of the prosecution, hail
finished his answer, their Lordships rear, in order that
Mr. Ilsonmea might have time to comider and it
his reply. The Judges will again assemble this morning
at ten °Meek, and when the argument is closed thl y will
attend the Council to be held to-day, and make known to
his :MAJESTY the judgment they have formed on the point
'of law.

Consols were a shade lower yesterday than on Monday,
for which no other reason is assigned than the paucity of
transactions in this and every other security. Mexican
stock remains nearly steady at the former quotations, but
little has lean ilone in it. _

Letters from Itßams, received yesterdav, state that the
markets tlicre are brisk. British piece peons have met with
a rabid and profitable tale ; but it is said that the indigo
crop in that presidency has entirely tailed. Should there
be another crop in Bengal as bad as there has beets for the
last two yew, that article will be higher in the European
market than it timer has been known. At Singapore the
market fur British produce has been good beyond example,
every species of British manufacture being in high detuand,
and the prices excellent.
Letters fonn the Spanish ports give a very unfavourable
account of the state of Britillt commerce its dime places,
in consequence of the enormous duties levied upon British
merchataiize.

Letters front Madrid state, that in consequence of the re-
port received front the Royalist army in Ps ru, the Govern-
mint has sent out despatches, re-appointing La-Serra to the
Viceroyalty, and expressing approbation of all the taws-
times adopted by Camerae and Valdez. La Ss•rna has bad
conferred on him the title of " Duque de los Antler."
The letters from Lisbon, received by the Mail yester-
day, do not contain the slightest allusion to the late con-
spiracy, and describes the state of the capital to be perfectly
tranquil. No preparations were making for an expedition
against Brazil.
The Lisbcre Gaulle of the Yep of November contains a
notice from the Board of flesh!' (slated so far back as the
Wit of October). in which it is stated, that the Portuguese
I.:ottani at New York, in a despatch of :he 4th of Septem-
ber, and at Philadelphia, in a despatch of the SOth August,
have given notice that the yellow fever limit appeared at
Charleston and New Orleans. The Board aueordingly
orders vessels from these and the neighboaring ports to
perform quarantine.
An article from Stutgard, in the Frankfort Papers of
yesterday, affords additional proof that the liberal principles
wait respect to trade, advocated and acted upon by Eng-
land, are extending themselves. Bavaria. having already
liberated commerce from the shackles which fornwrly con-
fined it in her inte.courre with Bestial twiillthouring
States, Is about to conch:4le a similar arrangement with
Wirtetnburgli ; arid the cati.plc of thew Powera, it is hot
unreasonably anticipated, will sueu be followed by the
whole of Southern t:l.lmany.

An elopement has taken place from Limiter within the
last few days, which has exeitcd no inconsiderable portion
of conversation during the last week. The gallant is a
married man, between forty and fifty, filling a public
office in the town ; the lady unmarried, about twenty-live
years of age, recently living as companion to her seducer's
wife, and the daughter of a respectable inhabitant. The
injured wife, it seems, was prevailed upon to visit a water-
log-place a week or two ago, and her absence was taken
advantage of to make arrangements for the intended
journey. Brussels is slid to be the place of retreat which
the fugitives selected.

'nth Rrv. MR. TAY t.on.—By the London Papers of
Monday we perceive, that an application had, on that day,
been made to the Lord Mayor, by a Mr. Taylor, who re-
presented himself to be a clergyman of the Established
Church, for permistion to open a place fur disco. sin g the
doctrines of the Christian Religion. We suspect this is
the same individual, who, some time since, commenced •
set of infidel doctrines in this city, and who was so fairly
put down by the voice of public op' . if so, as we per-
ceive his application was matte in such a manner as to con-
ceal his real seutiments, we think it but fair to inlorm our
English friends, that we have heard him say, he believed
the Bible to be an imposition, and our Lord Jesus Christ
an imposter !—lt ids Tinies.
TOE STORM Or YILSTERDAY.—The metropolis
was vi-
siteel by a heavy winch yesterday morning frem the S.S.W.
which has caused considerable damage, particularly to the
houses on the north sideof theltiver below bridge. 'ldes and
chimney pots fell in all directions, and as a hackney-coach
was passing through Rosemary-lane, a chimney-pot fell on
the roof. The streets in the vicinity of Goodman s-fields
arc literally strewed with tiles. A boat crossing the River
below bridge, was ups"t ; the waterman and two pas-
sengers saved. Two barges were driven by the wind from
their moorings at Rankside, and carried by the ebb tide,
one ou the starlings of London-!.ridge, the other stopped
up completely the sixth arch on ti:c north side of the bridge.
ower.dtill was not without great difficulty passable for
foot passengers. About 11 o'clock, an immense stack of
cl ; belonging to Salvador-Enure, in Bishopsgate-
'tree 1., fell wi.h a tremendous crash ; they forced in the
roof of the house, but we arch:el :ty to say, the terrified in-
mates escaped without sustaining any injury. Most of the
bricks and rubbish fell into the fore-court of Mr. He
Te►tett's premises. The front of one of the modern-built
houses altr. near the Albany-road. Camberwell, was com-
pletely blown ; alt ssa&s ioliabited, no one was hurt.
In twveral other parts of the town the effects of the storm
were displayed. In the neighbourhood of Great Queen-
street, a stack of chimneys was blown clown, and unfor-
tunately fell upon a Orson, and seriously injured him.

The late heavy rains have rendered the rivers around the
metropolis (f which the supplies of water t.rc dt sisal)
so &widowed and fetish, as to make the water totally until
and unwholesome for domestic purposes. These inanity-
tibia-es are now likely to he remedied, and we hope that the
'• Metropolitan Water Works Company," who propose to
supply water in its pure and pellucid state from the deep
springs of the earth, may receive that liberal encouragement
and notice front the public which it certainly merits.

REtt•r.KARIE Arr rams xer.—This morning, at sun-
rise, the heavens, for a low minutes, presented a most re-
markable and even fearful appearance, as if illumined by
the flames of a tremendous volcano, or city in flames. So
styling was the I • I reflection, that it cast a very deep
flaming colour upon the buildings of this city, which.
when looked at through the windows. the glass appeared
as if it had been stained rod, or the buildings reflecting
light from the lurid fl, of a wide-spread conflagration.
The morning was calm, and deep clouds shrouded the
whole heavens, except a small space on the south-east
!Holton, whet^ the sun was about to make his appearance.
The phenomenon is not unusual at this season of the year,
but we never saw it to sorb a great extent. It Ut a sure
sign of unsettled, wet, and stormy weather.—tAugote
