TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. l2.—Two of the Sultan's se-
cretaries, Sayd Bey and Tesick Bey, took their departure,
on the 7th instant, for the Turkish head-quarters in Cour-
distan. They are the beareril of the autograph letters his
Highness addressed to the Pacha of Bagdad and to Reshid
MehemetPasha, on receiving intelligence of the decisive suc-
cess the Imperial arms lately won over the rebels in Asia
Minor. They have been directed to invest these generals
with the caftan, or mantle of honour, and present them
with the decorations and magnificent gifts the sovereign be-
stows upon them in reward for the important services they
have rendered to the state during this arduous campaign.
Medals have also been sent to the troops under their coin-
mand.

I made mention in my last of a note presented by the
Russian Dragoman to the Porte, demanding the immediate
expulsion from Constantinople of a Circassian Prince, Seser
Bey, an individual on whose head the Sultan had, by mak-
ing at an ill-timed moment of generosity, the present of a
snuffbox, drawn the resentment of the Russian Minister.
Mindless of the apology the Sultan offered in extenuation
of so guilty an act, M. Boutenieff grew furious on observ-
ing that six days had been allowed to go by without his re-
quest being complied with. Unable to contain himself any
longer, he presented himself before the Divan on Sunday
last, and announced to the trembling Assembly, that un-
less Seser Bey were instantly sent into exile, he himself
would leave the country. Not satisfied with the pro-
mise made that his wishes would be immediately acqui-
esced with, he declared that he would not return to his
palace before he had seen with his own eyes the ob-
noxious individual on his way to the place of his deporw.,',on,
Phillippopoli. No alternative remained for the Div an.
Seser Bey was shortly after brought bound 1:;Ke a p:Lii
prit
before the Assembly, and after a short but irr:,pressi-ec speech,
in which Ahmet Pasha reproved him ;or havi.;ig during his
stay at Constantinople abused the bospit7.litv of the Sul-
tan, compromised his Gover•„ment, by lending an ear to
the perfidious advice of 7emglishrnekl, and encouraging his
countrymen in per ;sting in their rebellion against their le-
gitimate Monarch, the Emperor Nicholas ; the Prince was
made over to two police-men, who were to accompany him
to his destination. M. Boutenieff, after expressing to the
Divan the high satisfaction which the firmness of their con-
duct on the present occasion had given him, returned in
triumph to Bouyoukdere.
I understand from one of the members of the Divan
that M. Boutenieff expressed in the strongest terms his in-
dignation against the conduct of several. English adven-
turers witth regard to the Circassians, and on the observa-
tion being made that there existed grounds to believe that
the English Government was not altogether a stranger to
their secret man.zeuvres replied, that could the fact but
well be ascerAained, the Emperor would at once declare war
against Great Britain, and make her pay dear for-her folly and
ir..solence. The day is not afar off when Circassia will give
rise to a source of highly serious quarrel between England
and Russia. Two English vessels insured at Lloyd's against
all dangers in the Black Sea are now in the Bosphorus, on
the eve of sailing for the coast of Circassia. The blockade
of that country by Russia not having been recognised by
the British Government. It is interesting to ascertain
whether or not her squadron will dare confiscating these
vessels.

The French Ambassador sailed for France on the Bth
instant. The number of victims of the plague last week
exceeded 1,600.

AMERICA.
(From the New York Daily Advertiser, Oct. 8. )
" MONEY.—This has been a more important article than
any other in the city ; the pinch that was commenced a
week ago has been tighter and tighter. It is calculated
that nearly 7,000,000 of instalments have been paid in this
week ; this being the fact, the demand for money has been
prodigious. One and a half and two per cent. a month
have been paid very freely for the best notes ; besides this,
there has been a great demand for specie for the West,
and city banks have been calling on their neighbours, which
has increased their demand. The order of the Secretary
of the Treasury, requiring payments to be made for land),
in specie, has caused a drain for the West, and has ce,otri-
buted to the general scarcity. Tight as money there
have been no failures, which shows that money is to be
had by paying for it. It is asserted, that the deposits in
bank are unusually great. The pressure has no doubt
been created by accidental castes, and it is believed that as
these cease money will again become more plenty.
" REM. ESTATE.—The pressure in the money-market
has put a stop to extensive sales for the present ; there is
however no fall ; the rise for the last year or two has been
so great, that almost all the dealers have become rich, and
are able to hold on without making a sacrifice. The few j
sales that have been brought out exhibit no decline.
" EXCHANGE—Domestic.—The pressure on the morar)_
market has almost doubled the rates of Southern. and
Westerns draughts, besides increased the difficulty tif ne-
gotiating. The dealers in bills and draughts are now
reaping a rich harvest. Money commands, in. the shape
of bills and draughts, a most profitable inv
.fitment. The
holders of this description of paper comr,elled to sell pay
roundly.
" EXCHA NGE—Foreign.—Yester(l.Lay was packet-day, and
a very large amount was sold for p'aper and cash on England.
Bills stood at 108 cash, and at :10 days, 110 a 111. On
France about the same as iiast week. We have never
known so such difference as there is now between cash and
paper, which evinies the great scarcity of money.
SPECIE.—There is a steady pull upon our banks from
all parts of the country ; the amount required to take the
place of the small bills of the various interior banks has
been very great, besides which it is believed orders have
been received from the Secretary of the Treasury to increase
the amount in the deposit banks ; the consequence is there
has been, and still is, a good demand. The new bank
also that goes into operation, being a deposit bank, has
to obtain a large amount, which must come from the others.
Fortunately, exchange keeps down, so there is no call for
export.

" STocKs.—This has been a peculiar week in stocks. At
the commencement the money-market became very tight,
and low as stocks when they went down. Stocks that pay
6,7, and even 8 per cent., have all gone down. The fact
is,.money in the streets commands 1i per cent. nn good
security, and stocks consequently go down in proportion.
The st,•eet is also loaded with a large portion of Southern
stocks, a much larger amount than they can sustain—all
that is held by work hands are consequently sacrificed.
" SATURDAY, r.m.—Up yesterday—down again to-day.
No sales of United States Bank, which is unusual. Dela-
ware, 86i- ; M:)rris, 92i ; State Bank, 107.
" MONDAY, P.m.—The general appearance of the Stock
Market is down. We observe United States Bank at 119
Delaware, 86 ; Triorris, 92i. For further prices we refer
to our quotations,

" TUESDAY, P. m.—We have another day of A
—ep'.ession
in sloe, s ; many of them are lower than weli6:,,e e,,er known
t].iem. The cause of this sudden fall is nq doubt owing to
the large instalments that are called for, amounting to ever
5,000,000 dollars. The Oswego, A.:tantic, State of New
York, Kentucky, and several others, are to be paid up all
about this time. This sudden pinch has screwed up the
Money Market close, and it will no doubt continue so for
some days to come. Stocks have consequently gone down.
" WEDNESDAY, P.M.-Th Stock-market still continues
going down lower and low,er : it is entirely owing to the
scarcity of money, vybi.jti is almost impossible to be obtained
on stocks. For rt.;rices we refer to our quotations. The
sales are larTe. State Bank advanced to 1071.
" TIF:usDAY, P.m.—The tendency of the stock-market
to-day is upwards ; to-morrow, who can say how it will be
be ? We observe sales of State Bank at 10Se; Bank
shares 119 ; State Bank sold at 110, buyers 6 mo's, Dela-
ware 86. The southern banks are very low. Canal Bank
of New Orleans at 91 ; Ohio Life and Trust 1121, lower
than it has been since its charter ; American Trust, Bal-
timore, 99/.
" FRIDAY,. P.lll.—All in the dumps again. The stock-
market is down lower than it has been for two years ; all
descriptions of stocks have declined from 1 to 2 per cenf.
Sales United States Bank at 118/ ; Delaware and Hud-
son 84/ ; Morris Canal 90 ; State Bank advanced to 108 ii-,
firm. The sales are very large, upwards of 7,000 shares
stock sold, worth probably 700,000 dollars. The money,
within a few days, become very tight.
(From the same Paper of the 10th.)
SATURDAY, P.m.—Stocks are without much change, but
firm at the prices at which sales were made. Sales of State
Bank, 1084 ; United States Bank, 118 i ; Delaware, 88 ;
Morris, 90.

(From the Texas Telegraph, Aug. 03.)
a ATTEMPTED RESCUE OF SANTA ANNA.
On the 16th the schooner Passaic, Hughes master, of
about 40 tons, arrived at Marion (Columbia Landing), from
New Orleans. Ilaketnation had been received from New
Orleans *Ai iihe was leaving for Texas under suspicious
ciroamianees. Immediately on her arrival, Pages pro-
ceeded up the ;
r.ver in a boat, had an interview with one of
the prisoners% antl soba.equeutly delivered a bottle, sealed
with Von w,, oi what he called bitters, but which on

to, the captain and guard }laced over Santa Anna anf,\ the
other prisoners, and then, during the heavy anck In,,obably
intended eternal sleep of the former, the owe. of the latter
was to be effected.

Suspicions being thus excited& inquiries were instituted,
and a principal agmk in the discovery, made his appearance
in the pat of who came forward to give notice
of the plot, and to produce in confirmation of his evidence,
a document in Spanish, written and sired by Don Fran-

cisco Pizarro Martinez, Mexican Consul at New Orleans,
to the follo.ving purport That inasmuch as it is well
known to him (the Consul) that Don Bartolomeo Pages,
a native of Catalonia, is charged with a secret mission fur
the fulfilment of which it is indispensably necessary that he
should freely enter and leave the ports of Texas, therefore
the commanders of Mexican vessels of war or rAvateers,
to whom he (12:1,,,1,5) may exhibit the document, ern
questetl and supplicated not to throw impediments or üb.
stacles in the way of his voyage to Brazorio, in the •Autari•
can schooner Paagnic, but to listen to what he may 114Y0
to state respecting the affairs of Texas, and to aid; protect,
and assist him, because the service of the W.tion so re-
quires it."

- Upon this evidence, joined to the 'suspicious circum-
stances before mentioned, W. 1-1, l'Atton, Captain of the
guard of Santa Anna, procef:ded to take measures for
securing the parties in Os transaction, and accordingly
came to the landing on the 16th, where he seized in 0,01
name of the Republic of Texas the vessel, placed tbP crow
and other individuals under arrest, searched their persons,
without however finding any papers of imporv.,nce, and,
finally, he confined the principal agent in, th.e plot, Don
Bartolomeo Pages, and one of the crew, tive Spaniard ;
both of them were put in irons, in wl'it,ti: still
