MISCELLANEOUS.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.--The nomination of
M. Ribaupierre, as Envoy from the Court of
Petersburgh to Constantinople, has been already
noticed. The Imperial Ukase, by which he was
appointed to that Embassy, is dated the 27th
of August, and is conceived in the following
terms

" Considering that, by the evacuation of the principalities of
Walachia and Moldavia, by the measures taken relative to
the commerce and navigation of the Bosphorus, and by the
redress of various other causes of complaint, the Ottoman
Porte has removed the motives opposed to the re-establishment
of diplomatic relations;
" From these causes, and in the hope that, in concert with
our allies, we. shall succeed in terminating the misfortunes
that desolate the East, we have resolved to nominate to the
post of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister. Plenipotentiary to
the Ottoman Porte our Privy Councillor M. de Itibaupierre."

According to advices, of the 17th ultimo,
from Constantinople, the intended expedition against Samos
had been frustrated by a mutiny among the Asiatic troops
at Scala Nuova, whose leaders declared that they would
not co-operate in any attack upon the islands of the Archipe-
lago. The corps which had so long been encamped at Scutari,
was embarked for Scala Nuova for the purpose of reducing the
mutineers to order. The Greek Admiral, CANARIS, with a
strong squadron, including a number of tire-ships, was watch.
ing an opportunity of attacking the Turkish fleet; but it is
said the Capitan Pacha and the other Turkish commanders had
taken every. premution to secure their vessels against the tire-
ships. It is reasserted that the Turkish vessels have English
sailors on board, procured, it is said, through the intervention
of Lord STRANSIFORD. We apprehend that there are very
few English seamen who could be induced by any considera-
tion to serve on board s Turkish man-of-war ; and it cannot be
believed, for a moment, that Lord STRANGFOItD would act as
a crimp for the Capitan

lle. is amenable to the Laws of his Country, and
his case will undergo due investigation at the
proper period, and in the meantime, we deem it
improper to bias the mind of the Public, but to
let Justice take her course, and her decision will
doubtless be satisfactory to mankind.

MAJOR CARTWRIGHT.—This Gentleman, who
has long been known to the world, closed his
earthly career last night, in the 85th year of his
age, at his house in Burton-crescent. He was
originally in the Navy, and acquitted himself in
the service with zeal, knowledge, and spirit. He
derived his military appellation from having been
formerly Major of the. Nottinghamshire Militia.
The Major wasa man of learning,and a staunch ad-
vocate for civil liberty. His motives were sincere,
and he was actuated in all his various, almost in-
numerable, publications, by a desire of improving
the condition of mankind. But while he was absorb-
ed in political speculations he did nut sufficiently at-
tend to the real nature of the Being whose state he
was so anxious to improve,and his principles,how-
ever right in theory, were absolutely too ab-
stracted and visionary for practice. In fact he
was a political enthusiast through life, but of the
most respectable description, as motives of mere
personal advantage had no influence upon his
conduct, and his solo object was the benefit of
mankind, by the removal of all that infringed
upon their liberties and exposed them to the
abuses of arbitrary power.

Yesterday afternoon, Sir CHARLES BAGOT, the
late Ambassador to the Court of St. Petersburgh,

burgh.' Soon after his arrival, Sir CHARLES, at-
tended by some of his suite, proceeded to the
Foreign Office, Downing-street. It is understood
that Sir Cuktmcs has returned to England by
the frigate that took to Russia Mr. STRATFORD
CANNING.

Lord PALMERSTON is said to have been for

MARGATE.—Our weather has been variable,
but our visitors have been abundant,, and many of
'them stationary. We have, as I before told you,
a respectable company of Performers at the The-

.Theatre, whose rustic charecters are successful.
On Wednesday, Mr. R.. B. WATTS, the Box-book
.and Housekeeper at the Theatre here, and the
attentive Box-keeper at Drury-Lane, had his
benefit. On this occasion Miss MA.CAULEY re-
cited with her usual effect the tale of Lord
ULLEN'S Daughter. She kindly returned to
Margate expressly for the occasion. The vener-
able GARNER, the Librarian, also gave his liberal
assistance, and performed the part of Lady Pent.
totiale, in the farce of Taste, with great humour
and spirit. The last piece was Modern Antiques,
in which KNIGHT performed the part of Joey.
