the Royal George.
On Tuesday evening, when the royal tatesodroa
was at sea, a seaman belonging to the Arrive fri-
gate fell overboard from the main yard-arm mud
was drowned. as the weather was too bad to admit

a possibility of lowering a boat to save him, and
the ship going so fast through the water.
Ministers have been for some days waiting in
towo, in hourly expectation of his Majesty's arrival.
The Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Loa-
donderry. and the Earl of Liverpool. have °Omen-
tared beyond a ride in the Parks. Sir Behjansin
Blomefield arrived on Saturday morning.
His Majesty left London far Portsmouth, on his
way to Ireland, on the morning of the 31st July.
His visit has thus occupied a space of, 47 days, of
which 24 were spent in travelling by sea and land.
This unexpected delay must, to a certain extent,
derange the plans of his future movements, con-
templated at his Majesty's depsitore fur Ireland,
but in the public offices the opinion continues to
prevail, that, however unfavourable the advanced
state of the season may he fur a visit to the Can.

titian, of his Hanoverian subjects.
A King's Messenger, who had been waiting with
nine days' dispatches; the arrival of his Majesty
at Portsmouth, returned to London on Saturday
evening.
Yesterday the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of
Londonderry, End Earl Bathurst, had the honour
of an audience of his Majesty at Carlton Palace.

hove arrived at our office. There never was a sub-
ject of general interebt upon which the public mind
of Europe has been made so much the sport of

vague and contradictory assertions as the question
of a war between Russia and Turkey. The Intel•
ligence from the Continent is one day decidedly
warlike, but the following post brings letters and
paragraphs of a tone and character essentially
different, and leaves nothing to be apprehended
but -.mot the nations of Europe will suffer the
Turks to persevere without opposition, or even re-

monstrance, in the work of destruction, and ►iew
with indifference the extirpation of the Greek•.

Thus it happens that in the Paris Papers of Wed-
nesday we find articles of intelligence from Vienna,
dated the 30th of August, stating, that the
reply of the Russian Government to the answer
of the Divan breathed a determined spirit of war,
and that two Russian armies, under the command
of Generals SACKER and WlTraissTEtts, had re.
ceived orders to advance. In the Paris Papers of
Thursday, however, this intelligence from Vienna
is wholly contradicted by further information from
the same city, bearing date the til of September,
from which we learn that " the answer of the Porte
has completely satisfied the demands of Russia,"
and that " the character of the Emperor ALEXAN-
DER, as well as his scrupulous fidelity in the fulfil.
went of his engagements, is too well known and
appreciated to allow a belief in those views of sic-
grandizement imputed to him by some journals."
In proof of, the presumed accuracy of this intelli-
gence, the writer refers to the state of the govern-
ment securities, and •hews the credit thst is attach-
ed to it by the high prices of the public funds. It
is certain that an extraordinary courier arrived is
Vienna on the 29th alt. from Petersburgh, charged.
as it was supposed, with the determination of die
Emperor ALEXANDER upon the subject of the
Turkish war, and the warlike character of this

determination was implied front the circumstance,
that on the following day, the 30th of August, the
Aulic Council of War dispatched numerous mes-
sengers to the commanders of the several Austrian
corps contorted in Transylvania, and forming the
cordon of observation along the line of the Turkidi
provinces.
' In the mean time, we are presented with a copy
of a paper circulated at Vienna, purporting to
be a copy of• the note offered to Baron Srao-
GONOFF in Constantino* as the answer .rart.the
Divan to the Russian siltirwatorn. This utile ei-
presses the willingness of the Porte to accede

to every request made by the Russian Govern-
ment which may not compromise the honour or
independence of the Ottoman Empire., and espe-
cially consents to grant a general amnesty to
the Greeks, the restoration of such Christian
churches as may have been destroyed by the
Turks, and the re-establishment of the pro-
winces of Moldavia and Wallachia in the condition
prescribed by existing treaties. Hut the Porte in
Its turn likewise urges its demand•, mid portico-
elderly requires that the Hospoder MICHAEL
Suzzo should be given op to the Porte by Russia as a rebel. There is a feeling among the ene-
mies of the Porte which must for ever operate to pre.
vent the amicable aulju.,..vut of the existing differ-
ences. It supposes the readiness of the Porte to se-
cede in terms to every proposition, but that ►uch is
the ptoverbiul faithlessness of the Moslem character,
no confidence can be reposed in the promises of
• Turks. There may he 11 doubt re►pecting the
!rower of the Ottoman Government to fulfil Its en-
gagements, but the reproacb of treachery does not,
according to general reputatuni, belong to the na.
tiomil character of the .furls.
