" At six o'clock last evening the troops marched from

the tribunals departed with half the inhabitants. The ware-
houses and shops are closed ; payments are suspended. At
Bareelonetta the mortality is dreadful; (be inhabitants are
dying like flies. In this city it is nut so bad; the state of

GENOA. SEPTEMBER 15.

On Militia), last the polacre Asie, Captain
Ragoocovich, entered this harbour, butting the
Austrian flag. This vessel comes from Odessa,
which it lett the 12th of July; it touched at Con-
stantinople, from which place it sailed ou the 16th
of August. This is one of the first of eighty vessels
which passed the Dardanelles since the removal of
the embargo. Captain Ragoocovich declared there
was no rumour at Constantinople of war between
Russia and the Porte, but, on the contrary, it was
thought no war would take place ; that notwith-
standing the departure of Baron Strogonoff, Russian
vessels continued to arrive at Constantinople. The
maritime armaments were carried on with great
activity; the Greeks were still persecuted at Con-
stantinople, and kept themselves shut up in their
houses; every day, thirty or forty of those made
prisoners at Galacz and other ',heel in Wallachia,
were executed, ■od the dead bodies, after having
been exposed for three days, were thrown into the
sea.

This Captain affirmed that even the Franks were
not in safety; they could not leave their houses
without being accompanied by a January, at the
risk of being robbed and ill-treated. The shops
and warehouses were closed, almost without ea-

ception.
The Captain added, that on the 20th of August
he was informed by the Commander of another
Imperial ship, coming from the island of errigo,
that intelligence had just been received there that
the Greeks had burned the Turkish squadron be-
tween Rhodes and Stanchto, and that of 17 men of
war, besides transports, of which it was composed,
only three vessels escaped.

another story. This last improvement is become
necessary in consequence of the elevat' .d buildings
in front, iu Regent-street, which give the Palace a
depressed appearance. These alterations being
upon an extensive scale, told requiring considerable
time for their completion, the. KING ea his ration
will make Buckiugtiain Palace, in St. Jamb's Park,
his town residence. It is now is I a perfect state for his
reception. From the convenience, beauty, and ca.;
;liabilities of the place, it is r.ot improbable tlast.hia

it his permanent abode when in Lotitlon. In thiii
event, Craton Palace %mild be probably as:.igoeit
for the accommodation of saute of the branches of
the Royal Family.

The Election of Lord Mayor of London will
take place this day at Guildhall. Alderman
WArritwes having declined, Aldermen MAGSAY
and HEYGATE, the two senior Aldermen, it is pre-
sumed, will be returned by the Livery. Of these
two the former possesses the superior claim of se-
niority, and will, it is confidently presumed, es
such, receive from die Board of Aldermen the pre-
ference to which he is so well entitled.

Flanders and Fiamintrglt Mails arrived yesterday,

and at • late hour last night we received the Paris
Papers of Tuesday last. On the subject of the
relations betweeilltussia ;IA Turkey, their contents
are decidedly cacific. It is stated, under the head
of coot.t.thtioopie, that the most confident hopes
are entertained there will be no war with
Riosia, and adeices from Warsaw add, that the
Russian troops MI the frontier of Moldavia had re-
tired to their former positions. If the statement of
the Captain of an Austrian vessel, who left Con-
stantinople on the 16th of August, be entitled to
credit, there was no rumour of a war between Turkey
and Russia at his departure from that city, and not-
withstanding the departure of Baron Sraotaoaorr,
Russian vessels continued to arrive at that port.
From the cumineucement of the troubles its Eu-
ropean Turkey, nothing has until very lately
transpired in a shape entitled to credit. The ac.
counts in the Foreigu Journals have been all vague
and contradictory, with more similitude to the
fietions of fancy, than the character of true and
faithful history. in the composition of these
details, the Turks obtained credit for all the fe-
rocity with which that nation has been charged in
the most barbarous ages of the world ; but the
single case of Lout STRA N GFoRD's successrul inter-
ference for the preservation of the monuments of
antiquity at Athens and its vicinity, proves that bad
as the Ottoman Government may be, it is not so
savage and barbarous as it has been represented.
The private accounts received yesterday in the City
are of the same pacific character as the iotelligeoce
in the Foreign Papers.—Letters, it is said, by the
Hamburgh Mail, announce the arrival of an express
in that city from St. Prtersburgh, of so late a date
as the Bth of September. with an official account
of the final adjustment of all the differences be.
tween Turkey and Russia. and that another Am-
bassador was appointed in the place of Baron
STROGION OFF. The latter part of this statement
is probably correct. It has been asserted in the
Foreign Papers that the Ambassadors of England
and Austria, in their correspondence with the Grand
Vizier, assured him that he should not 'considev the
departure of Baron STROGON OFF as a step that
must necessarily lead to hostilities. and that a *ilea
cessor would probably be appointed iu his place.

The gunnel Goveanmeut Provision Contract was
this year originally announced fur 3,000 tierces of
beef and !Kirk, but on the day it was to be declared
at the Victualling Office, it was extended to
6,000, viz. 3,000 tierces of beef. and 3,000 tierces
of pork, and taken by Mr. LOGAN, a merchant
in the City, at the following prices :
India Beef
Navy
Navy barrels
India Pork
Navy Pork
Bards

At these 'mice. the beef may be estimated at 220.
to 23.. per hundred, •od the pork at 17e. to 18s.
per hundred.

the travelling in this neighbourhood has considera-
