peach a TthßlSki ereN the Lieties of British and French
seamanship. Over the movements of the Turkish Ad-
miral he can exercise no more control than can the
French physician of MEHEMET ALI over the counsels of
the ruler of Egypt. He is charged with no official
functions, and his rank in the Turkish Navy is not even
recognised by the British Government. Nor is the po-
sition of Capt. WALKER so singular as to excite the least
surprise. In the battle of Nezib scores of French officers
fought on both sides, having indifferently enlisted under
the banners of the SULTAN and MEHEMET ALL Now,
what would the Gazette de France say, were we to in-
sinuate that these officers must have been charged
with secret instructions from Admiral RousslN and the
French Consul at Alexandria ? Would it not denounce
such insinuations as dishonest and malicious? Why,
then, insinuate falsehoods, which are only too gross and
contemptible to be seriously mischievous ?
In the Commerce of Saturday we find the following
important communication from St. Petersburg, dat
the 20th ult. It will be read with lively interest :
" I am enabled to state to you, in a positive manner,
that thg Russian Government, on being informed that the
Ambassldors of England and France were both labouring
to obtain the removal of Kosrew Pacha and Halil Pacha
from their present posts at the head of the Ottoman Go-
vernment, and to secure their succession to Hussein Pasha
and Redschid Pasha, the enemies of Russia, had deter-
mined on the military occupation of Constantinople and of
a portion of European Turkey, the moment that a
plausible pretext should offer for carrying the pro-
ject into execution. The Cabinet of St. Petersburgh
had accordingly transmitted orders to Admiral Laza-
reff, enjoining him to sail in all haste, with the entire
of the Black Sea fleet, for the entrance of the Bosphorus.
Generals Grabbe and Rasewski, who are at Anapa, were
instructed at the same time to advance with their two corps
of army towards Erzeroum, and General Roth to embark
immediately the troops placed under his command at
Odessa and its environs. Instructions conformable with
the above decision were sent to-day to the Governor-Gene-
ral of Southern Russia and Bessarabia, Lieutenant-General
Count Federow 1., and to M. de Boutenieff, the Russian
Ambassador in Turkey."
The weather was extremely beautiful in Paris on Friday
and Saturday. Great hopes were entertained that the har-
vest would be abundant. But the happy agricultural pros-
pect had not alleviated the sufferings of the commer-
cialists, among whom distress was daily and hourly
increasing. The number of bankruptcies in Paris de-
clared between the Ist of January and the 26th of
July, 1839, was 607. Among them were 93 joint-stock
companies, whose debts amounted to 148,000,0001., or
nearly 6,000,0001. sterling. The number of bankrupt-
cies between the Ist and 26th of last month was 87.
With the exception of the following paragraphs, there
is no other news of interest in the French journals :
Accounts from Posen of the 18th ult. state, that the
Polish Major, Urbanowitch, arrested some time ago on his
landing at Memel, bad been restored to liberty by order of
the Prussian Government, on condition that he should
immediately embark for England. Several ladies of the
first rank had been lately arrested at Wilna, for wearing
rings, with the initials of Konarski, who was executed in
that city on the 27th of February last. The 200 accom-
plices of this unhappy patriot were, it appears, subse-
quently tried by the Council of War, sitting at Kiew, and
23 of the most
..deeply compromised among them sen-
tenced to 20 years' hard labour in Siberia, and to the
loss of all their civil rights. The clergy appear to have
acted a prominent part in the conspiracy, for five Catho-
lic priests have been condemned to hard labour in Siberia
for life. A number of students were likewise engaged in
the plot, 45 of them were ordered by Court-martial to be
incorporated as soldiers with the army of the Caucasus.
The Belle Poule frigate left the port of Cherbourg on
the Ist instant for Toulon, whence she will proceed to
81*.

Letters from Trieste of the 22d ult. state that orders
had been forwarded from Vienna to reinforce the Austrian
squadron in the Levant, which is to be placed under the
command of the Archduke Frederick. Baron de Bandiera
had been appointed Rear-Admiral.
The Armoricain of Brest states that the Neptune, of the
line, went out of dock on the 28th ult. The Atalante
frigate has been fitted out with much expedition, and will
shortly go out of harbour. The Ocean of the line,
the Magicienne, and Didon frigates are getting ready for
sea.

A report was current yesterday that the Government had
received a telegraphic despatch, announcing the arrival
at Marseilles of a steamer from the Levant, bringing intel-
ligence that an arrangement had been actually concluded
between the Porte and Mehemet Ali. We find no men
tion of this circumstance in the Moniteur of Saturday.
Since 1830, 69 of the Peers created before that period
have died, 19 were excluded by the revolution from the
Chamber, 19 have resigned their seats at different periods,
and 38 created since the revolution have also died. There
remain in the Chamber 127 peers created during the re-
storation, and 156 since 1830.

Letters and Papers from Madrid, of the 27th ult.,
have been received. The elections had commenced in
the capital with every prospect of the triumph of the
Exaltado or ultra-Liberal candidates. It was reported
that should this party secure, as it promises to do, a
decided majority in the Cortes, the Ministry would re-
sign and leave to them the appointment of a Cabinet.
No occurrence could take place more auspicious for the
regeneration of Spain. _

From Bayonne the latest news is of the 30th ult.
The Carlist General MAROTO had published the follow-
ing address to his troops :
" Head(Quarters of Orozco, July 23.
" The day of combat is approaching, and we must show
the world that the defender' of legitimacy will never yield
to usurpers. If our voluntary abandonment of some un-
important posts have led our enemies to believe that we
fear them, we will soon bestow upon them a just reward
for their horrible barbarity in ravaging and desolating your
fields and fire. sides. The campaign which they have just
commenced has been already signalised by unparalleled
and wanton acts of atrocity. In Navarre, parts of Solana
and Alava, Guebra, and the surrounding villages, they
have spread rapine and slaughter; and you have seen the
rebel Espartero with his own hands glut his vengeance at
Amurrio and Arciniega. In the midst of these atrocities,
intriguers are spreading reports of a compromise ; but a
compromise can never be effected between two parties of
such opposite principles. Let our motto henceforth be,
the King and religion, and triumph or die with our arms
in our hands.

" Your companion and General,
" RAFAEL MAROTO."

A letter from Onate of the 29th ult. reports that
MAnoTo had had an interview with Lord JOHN HAY,
near Bilboa. It was certain that a message had been
sent to his Lordship by the Carlist Commander-in-
Chief, in consequence of which Lord JOHN had come
ashore, attended by two superior officers, and had gone
to Bilboa.

The Princess DE BEIRA was confined to her apart-
ments by indisposition.
