great events, amidst the obstacles the
ministry have to surmount. Besides the military
measures, great praise is given to those of police, and
the banishment of several ecclesiastics of the highest
rank. It is thought the Government will not stop
here, being resolved not only to combat to the ut-
most the enemies of the new system, but still further
to consolidate it. The Erpectador and other Jour-
tals state, that the Minister of Finance has given
orders to fit out several ships of war, to cruise from
the Straits of Gibraltar to Cape de Crux on one side,
and on the other from Cape Finisterre to Passages.
The measures of the Minister of Finance do not•
give so much satisfaction. In fact, unless a stable
and solid system is established, and means found to
raise the taxes regularly, every thing will be embar-
rassed. It is nut only the revolted provinces, which
have long since ceased to..contribute to the public
treasury, but almost all the others show a backward.
vets iu this respect; which threatens to lead the
Government to its total ruin.
Preparations are making here to receive the In.
Tanta of Portugal, who will arrive on Sunday.
This morning the Commander of the Halberdiers
drew out this corps, consisting of about HO indivi-
duals, and made 64 quit the ranks, whom he ordered
to lay aside their uniform and arms, and to present
themselves. to the Captain-General, where. they
would receive their passports, to repair to the Pi
which would be signified to them, and where they
any settle as retired from the service. This guard
of the King was chiefly composed of Nobles, and did
duty in the apartments of the royal family. By this
means the guard of the King is confided wholly to
the troops of the line and the national militia; so
that all,the pomp of the Guards, and the splendour
which surrounded the Palace, have vanished.
Beiroesic, SEPT. 3.—A1l our accounts from the
neighbouring provinces of Spain state, that the Con-
stitutionalists display great activity, and are pre-
paring seriously to attack Quesada, and make his
defeat certain. People are curious to see, whether
in such a case the Defenders of the Faith will be
received in France with their arms; if this should
luippen, which is not probable, the Constitutionalists
are said to he resolved to pursue them, even into the
French territory; where this faction had its erigia.
It would inevitably Compromise the troops which
form the cordon, who will not permit foreigners to-
violate the French territory. On the other baud, in
*see of a defection or defeat of the Army of the
Faifli, it would be impossibld to place the soldiers,
who might be repulsed, under quarantine, the laza-
ret of Behobia having only 100 places, which are
almost daily occupied by traveller. •se the two nu.,
tuns, and that of Aldudes 40places. It will be cu-
rious to see what measure the French Government
will adopt towards these fugitives; the only persons
likely to introduce the plague.into France, by their
uncleanliness and wretelteduess. It has been lately
reported that the lasarets were to be. closed; and
evil-minded persons have thaught fit to believe that
this measure was merely intended to facilitate, to the
fugitives of the Army of the Paith, the entrance into
France, by removing every obstacle. The military
preparations which have been observed at Bayonne,
for sonic days past—the arrival from the interior of
artillery anebaggage horses, cannon and ammuni-
tion—the activity employed in making several mil-
lions of musket cartridges—the intended occupation
of time position of Marrac, by come companies of
troops which are going to encamp therm—and the
placing of tour brigades of artillery at datrent
points, seem to announce, not any huatile lineations
towards Spain, as has been said, hut rather measure.

CONSTANTINOPL.Z, AUG /. 30...111C Greek Patri-
arch died on the Bth of this mouth, after a lung and
painful disease, the dropsy. His obsequies were
performed to-day with much order mid dignity;
many thousands (Greeks) Gamed him to the tomb.
According to ancient custom, the body bad been pre-
viously esposed on the patriarchal throne in the
cathedral, and more than 5,000 persons went there
to kiss the hands and feet °file chief of their church.
On the evening of the same day; the Grand Seig-
nior permitted the choice Of a successor to be pro-
ceeded in. At the same time, the Greek Bishops
were set at liberty, who had been detained as host-
ages f" some months in den• Seraglio. The Porte
has informed the Synod that, if its choice falls on
any one of theta Bishops, it will be approved of
without difficulty, provided ebei gandidete possesses
the five following qualities—enpfrience, prudence,
skilfulness, lefarning, and fidelity tei the Governeleet.
The names of 63 Bishops wee afterwards read in
the Synod, of which three wets designed as candi-
dates, uniting the necessary qualities, The repre-
sentatives of the Greeks at Couatantinople, amount-
ing to 600 voters, proceeded shin to the election, and
their choice fell on one of Om si; Bishops, viz. the
Bishop of Chaleedunia, who was formerly Bishop of
Smyrna. The Synod confirmed this election imme-
diately, which it is hoped. will inset the approbation
Of the Sultan, and that to-morrow the new patriarch
will be clothed with the Caftan.
Some days before his daittli. the patriarch wrote
an affecting letter to the Sultan, in which he reemn-
mended the Greeks to his throat. in particular he
ecommended the abolition of a heavy tax, which

GERJIA N PAPERS.
Vrauwa, Avo. 30.—The Attolritsts Observer ot
yesterday has again news from Constantinople Athe
iegi of August. They mention the death of the
' Greek Patriarch, and the choice of the Bishop of
Chalcedtmia as his successor.
No news of any decisive battle in favour either
of the Turks or the Greeks had been received, but
the advance of the Turks through Thessaly to the
Mores was fully confirmed.
Ceestaurixort.s., Ave. 10.—Perfeet tranquil.
My stall prevails here. We have nothing new *the
the Mores. The Egyptianflotilla having joined the
turisiiistleet, the latter sailed fur the Mores on the
23d July.
Lord Btra'ngford had a conference a week se
with the Reis Effendi, with a view to induce the
Porte, Ist, Tu acquaint Russia by a Note with the
nomination of the Hospodars ; 4d, To send a ne-
gociator to Kamidicet, to treat, as Russia desired,
with M. de-Tathicheff. The Porte refused.. end it
is feared that it will not be brought to consent. Yet
some hope that fanaticism and pride will yield to a
spirit of conciliation.
The number .ef rioters and mutineers who were
execute!, imprisoned, or banished during the dis-
turbances in July, is estimated at between four and
five thousand. It was made known that if the five
Ortars did not expel from among them the authors
of these terrible disorders, the Sultan would make
use of the power given him by the Sultan
and disband these regiments.
Swtrzsaitue, Ave. 31.—The Committee of
Commerce has presented u new Report to the Diet.
The majority adhered to their tint Report, proposing
the establishment of divers import duties, the pro-
duce or manufactures of these countries whose eus-
tont-house laws are injurious to the prouctions of •
Swat erland. The Committee has, however, made
sonic modifications in the first projt.c.t.
The minority have given two opinions. The one
presented by M. Brann, who persists in advocating
a systetn without restrictions, and the other by M.
who would limit the import duties to wine
and cotton.

A lter the Diet had again deliberated, thirteen
votes were in favour of the principle adopted by the
majority, most with the reserve of the ratification
of their constituents.
The Deputies of Z irich, Bale, Geneva. Uri, •
SAiweitz, Undcrwald, Neuchatel, and Valais, se-
coriliir• to their instructions, took the *natter ad re.
j;:rehilum.
It was alto decided that the measures in question
should toe taken not by v.rtue of a binding resolution,
in which the 1./et would not be competent, but by •
an entirely free concordat between such of therana
Imes as should adopt it.
