The writer proceeds to remark, that the very best
understanding exists between Russia and the Sub-
lime Porte ; bat it is to be presumed that
Russia has not renonneed her claim to the formal
recognition of her rights to Mingrelia, now occu-
pied by the Russian troops, under General Yu-
eaoLor." There also exists another point of dis-
pute between Russia and Turkey, namely, the
little nation of the Abs.',t' now surrounded by
Russian possessions, but to which the Porte lays
claim as having been a vassal of the Ottoman
Crescent.

Saturday afternoon arrived at Portsmouth the
Importer transport, from St. John's, Newfoundland,
(n twenty day., bringing a company of artillery
and inv .lids from the garrison. No news by her.
The Everia was to sad for England in the next

appointed Storekeeper at St. John's. The Tamar,

It has been often remarked, that when a Prince
desires war with a foreign nation, he seldom wants
cause of quarrel.
We believe that ■t present there is not in Eat-
Folios perhaps in the world, a Government more
truly pacific in principle than that of Turkey, nor
one which seems more willing to make sacrifices of
the most extensive kind to preserve peace with its
neighbours. It seems, however, that with Turkey
cause of war shall never be wanting, for should the
Porte make every concession of territory and charac-
ter that could be required by her sternest enemy,
the existence of the plague in Constantinople will
always furnish a pretext for invading her provinces
and po ting her subjects to the sword. The Emperor
of Russia will iii his mercy apply a specific to the
thseatw, and kindly cut the throats of the unfortu-
nate Turks, to preserve them from falling victims
to the plague !
The French Journalists seem to take a great in-
terest in CARLILE'S trial, and a considerable por-
t. of their brief columns is occupied with ex-
tracts from it. The Joined des Debuts remarks
upon the condemnation of CARLILE, as a proof
that political liberty is well understood in Eng-
land, and expresses a hope that French juries,
following the example set to them by England,
will one day have sufficient energy to punish the
publication or the impious jests at religion, which
disgrace the works or VOLTAIRE, and the suppres-
sion of which would contribute to the advantage
even of literature.

A letter from St. Helena, dated August 16, con-
tains the following extract :—" BONAPARTE has
been on evidently better terms with his condition
here since he received information that .is request
to have a spiritual instructor sent out to him would
be complied with. This circumstance, strange as
it may appear. has afforded him very great satisfac-
tion. He now walks out nearly to the barracks :
he is grown very fat."

We lately mentioned that several of our Officers
in Jamaica had fallen victims to the yellow fever.
The following extract from a letter, dated Port
Royal, September 3, contains the following de-
tails :

a Colonel Sparrow, Deputy-A djntant.General of the
Forces, died on the 224 of last month, of the yellow fever,
which is now raging here in all its horrors. The 50th and
02.1 regiments are arrived here from Ireland, the latter so
late as the dilt of June—a season when those assimilated to
the climate expect sickness. The fever broke out the latter
end of June, in she 50th regiment, in the most aggravated
and appalling form. Colonel Hill, Ensign Barlow (son of
General Barlow), and seven other Officers, with about 190
men, 23 women, and 15 children, fell victims in a very short
space of time; as well as Lieut.-Colonel Blaney, two other
Officers, and 150 men and children of the 93.1. I lament
to say, its ravages have by no means ceased. Sir Home
Popham, who has evinced au anxiety to second the zealous
exertions of our Commander-in-Chief, General Coons, has
in the most handsome manner given up, for the use of the
troop', the Seraphis convalescent ship; and his kindness, in
every way, Is our melancholy situation, does honour to his
heart?'

Of the above sufferers, Colonel HILL. of the
30th regiment, who was the oldest person in the
corps, having served in it 47 years, fell a sacrifice
to his humanity. It is said that the men refused
to act as norms to their comrades in the hospital,
all those who had done so having died. After
some pause, four privates of the grenadiers offered
their services, which were accepted. Two of them
in a short time became victims to the pestilence,
and the other two instantly withdrew their assist-
ance. This hopeless state of things did not long
remain; for Colonel HILL exclaimed-6• Then,

The winter has commenced with a suddenness
and severity unprecedented in this country. The
frost and snow of Thursday night were general over
the island. At Brighton and several other places
in the south, they were preceded by a heavy storm
of thunder and lightning. The Welsh mountains
have since remained covered with the garb of win-
ter, and the recent accounts from the north repre-
sent the storm and its effects as not less severe to
that quarter. The wind blew from the north-west,
and has done considerable damage iii ar:d about the
metropolis. The roads at the entrance of London
were in several parts impassable, particularly at
Walthainstow, where a number of trees were torn
up by the roots, and lay across the highway, com-
pelling travellers to make a circuit of several miles.
The snow had also accumulated near • foot deep,
and the pathways in the fields were not passable for
people ou foot. Tine great and uniform heat of
the weather, up to the middle of last week, so
extraordinary at this advanced season of the year,
has given to this sudden appearance of winter a
character novel in this country, and resembling
the sudden transitions of • Russian clunstr.
*October had two-thirds elapsed without its usual
concomitant, the fall of the leaf; the trees had
.lost a comparatively small portion of their ver-
dure ; the descending snow was thus intercepted
in the trees, in which it congealed into ice, which
broke down the branches with its weight, or assisted
the hurricane in tearing them from their roots.
Thus where the trees have withstood the fury of the
elements, the eye is every where attracted by the
damage sustained in their shattered branches.
