that from the position of Scotland, Intelligence
from the Baltic may be received there before it
reaches us. The most recent accounts from the
Continent are strongly corroborative of the fact
announced in the Edinburgh Paper :
" We have no reason to discredit the important intelligence
contained in the subjoined. extract :—The opinions conveyed
through the Continental letters, have, it is true, been of late
nearly unanimous in maintaining it probable that the pacific
'relations of Russia with the Porte would continue undisturbed;
but it should have been recollected, that most of those commu-
nications proceeded from Jews and Commercial Agents at
Odessa, who, of course, are interested in inducing consignments,
Which, perhaps, in the actual circumstances, would not be very
Phidently made. The following is an extract of a letter from
St. Petersburgh, dated the sth (N. S. 17th) August, which was
received by a mercantile house in Glasgow yesterday morning :
" Yesterday, some Y. C. tallow was sold. at 140, not, how-
ever, of first sort ; and this day, for American account, 143
were given, at which we are much astonished, as we think at
the first price it might have been obtained. We are inclined to
believe that the purchase was made with the idea that from the
Ttaixtsx :WAIL (which was yesterday declared), the exchange
would decline; but the reverse has been the case, and first-rate
direct bills were 9i, and afterwards 9g."
There can be no doubt that Russia was fully determined to
appeal to arms, in case the ultimatum should be refused, as
she had made the most vigorous preparations to take the field ;
and there are many persons of opinion that, had its terms
been acquiesced in, Russia would not have long remained
content

-We have received letters and papers from Gib-
raltar to the 28th ult., and from several other
parts of the Mediterranean, from which we ex-
tract the following :
GIBRALTAR, AUG. 24.—NoTicE.--Intelligence of an
alarming nature, as to the state of the public health in two or three
of the principal towns in Spain, having reached the garrison,
the Lieutenant Governor has direCted the establishment of the
cordon on the neutral ground, as last year, and persons are or-
dered not to attempt to pass the same at any other point than
where the Inspectors of Strangers are stationed.
The Inspectors of Strangers have, until further notice, parti-
cular instructions as to the non-admission of strangers ; in the
enforcement of which, the officer commanding the guard at
the cordon is directed to give them every necessary support.—
No resident can absent himself from the garrison longer than
f°rtY-eight hours, without subjecting himself to the regulations
r"Peeting strangers. All personal baggage will be sent to the
Health Department, and be subject to the regulations of qua-
rantine. No bedding can be admitted on any pretence what.

His Catholic Majesty, the Queen, and Princes, left Madrid
on the 16th inst. for Si. Ildefonso, where it is supposed they
wih spend two or three weeks.
The officers of the Spanish regiment of Sevilla, having re-
relted that a Captain and two lieutenants from among the
thepnlitan or Piedmontese emigrants might be attached to
corps, the petitioners undertaking to maintain them at
a sr Own expense, according to their respective rank; they
have been reminded by the "War Minister that the organic law
(the new army regulations) forbids any but Spaniards being ad-
untied into the Spanish army.
The Portuguese sittings decided in a late sitting, after pro-
tracted debates, that there was no occasion for laying it down
"S a_constitutional principle, that the Portuguese territory is
ri alienable; or for eontmuing to use the two denominations
Portuguese, and Portuguese citizen, one of which was declared
Sufficient.

It is reported that .taternents had been com-
municated to Government by credible witnesses,
respecting the conduct of the Military Officer
en the day of the QuEts's Funeral, which were
deemed sufficient to justify his dismission. It is
t° be hoped, however, that they will be submit-
ted to the public at large.

t The Life Guards, who have been compelled
° receive so much abuse for their praise-worthy
''''lduct on the day of the QUEEN'S funeral, have
i!°hlY declined to receive the money subscribed
iQr them by the liberality of the Public. This
48 it ought to be. It was fit that the opinion
'f°: the real people should .be in some way mani-
rnsted, in contradistinction to that of the radical
..°l3s and their seditious publications ; and it is
b‘ that the Military should shew themselves to

huove receiving any reward for their conduct,

pr,„scription, which they have with equal Jibe-

irerobation of their KING, though not yet pub-
Y expressed, may he inferred from the Royal
rt-PPLation with which very different conduct
41-`" theirs has been visited in the cases of Sir
ERT BAKER and Sir ROBERT WILSON; the

thajsiness respecting the consequences of
the necessary though painful duty which
the soldiers were compelled to perform at
funeral of the late QUEEN. On this irn-

Gentlem °uNTRY CORONER." We know that the
who writes it has long_ held the Office

c answer to his query, (.4 Whether a Coroner
h_ording an illegal verdict against innocent
liLsous, apparent on his inquisition, can be in-
Ved at their instance for a libel ?" we hope
g_it some of our legal friends will investigate and
,Zeavour to settl that point. It is of conse-
iikr,nce, both for the interests of justice and the
t4,:'•t!Y of Coroners, as well as for public satis-,

ascertained.
