TURKEY.

According to letters from the frontiers of Turkey of
the Ist inst., an insurrectionary spirit prevailed among
the population of Galatz, and the Government of
Moldavia had deemed it expedient to send a Hettman
to Jassy with unlimited powers to act against the in-
habitahts in case they raised the standard of revolt.
Mehemet Ali has been officially charged by the Sultan
to reconquer the Holy Cities, which fell into the hands of
the Arabs after their evacuation by the Egyptians.

An able communication, addressed to " English
Mechanics," will be found in another column. We have
received the name of the writer, and publish with much
pleasure an Address so creditable to a mechanical la-
bourer.

EXTENSION OF POST-OFFICE DISTRIBUTION.—We
understand that measures are now in progress for effect-
ing a very considerable and beneficial extension of Post-
office distribution in the rural districts. The principle
which has been adopted is, we are informed, to establish
a Post-fyfliee in every Registrar's district which is at pre-
sent without erne, an arrangement under which it is said
about 400 places, many of which arc now ten, and some
even twenty miles from any Post-office, will for the first
time enjoy all the conveniences of communication by post.

lIAMBCRGII MAIL.
BERLIN, Atitf. 9.—it has caused some surprise here
that Baron Von Bulow, almost ilpmediately after his
arrival from London, when he had se.:arcely recovered
from the fatigues of his voyage in the store: v weather of
to his ji",,,•
the 18th and 19th of July, has gone
destina-
tion at Frankfort, to enter on his functions as rep,•esen-
tative of Prussia in the German Diet. Two things, it .is
said, are the chief motives ; viz., the discussion on the
erection of the federal fortresses, and an agreement with
the States of the Confederation for extending the liberty
of the Press, which, as is well known, is chiefly restricted
by the resolution of the Diet. As for the first point,
it is high time that the fortresses, which for these 25
years, have existed on paper, should at length be really
built, especially as some French Journals, .e. p. the
National, still continue to prate about the frontiers of
the Rhine, and it cannot be foreseen what effect the
daily repetition may have on sensitive neighbours.
Prussia is readyentitled to require that the stipula-
tion of the treaties of peace on this point shall be at
length carried into effeC.!... Prussia, for its own inte-
festi and that of all GeOlany, has protected the
Midas tend Lower Rhine by A chain of fortresses,
and 6116 tkltforuled more than its duty as a
member of the Confedel'ation. But, these costly works
lose a great part of
,teir tolue, if Gerioany is open on
the Upper Rhine to attacks from the West. The other
question, that of extending the liberty of the press, js of
equal importance. It is well, however, that our King
has expressed himself very favourably on this subject,
and it remains to be decided in what manner the object
is to be obtained.
