either arra, were repelled at every point, and their mashes
!driven in confusion, within their city. The storm of
Pagr.n-mew which followed, exhibited the stone features
of i'atrepidity and self-devotion., The freqnuecy of these

I.t difficult for the Major-General to vary the terms of his
Praise, but he offers to every officer and soldier enoged this

of a Commander, and the cordiality of a commie."

CALCUTTA, Manciele}..—The late mission to the Bri-
tiin Head-quarters, from the Court of Ava, originated, it
he said, in the recommendation of the High Priest, whose
:sacred character had given weight to the representations
unade by him to the King, at the instigation of the Mini-
.sters. It appears that Dr. Price was not honoured by a
personal .communication with the King, such intercourse,
Probably, bring contrary to Burman etiquette; he re-
ceived 'nis instructions from the .44:tt00, or Great Council,
from rine of the four IVoongees, t.r Chief Members, of

wlal a distinct and powerful kingdom, and that it remained
ependent until 1783, when it was ,subjugated by the
.fir mica of Mindwajee. We may, therefore, form
our own
'estimate of the value of this objection.
We should have drought the Court of Ava would have
readily waived its claim on this province, as the Arracan
mountains preserat a defined boundary, which, if interven,
ing between the British and Burman possessions, will much
diminish. the chance of future collision. As to the power
to Pak' the contributions exacted, which we were once dis-
posed to question, it scents that little doubt on this head
rleed be entertained, although it has been the policy of the
Present, and of • preceding Governments, since Alompra, to
;attract as much treasure as possible to the Royal Treasury,
.and to stiffer as little as possible to come-forth.

We received this morning Dutch Papers, to the
lOth inst. It appears by letters from Akkermann, that
:the rturasian and 'Turkish Commissioners .have had
three Interviews. The Emperor NICHOLAS has dis-
missed Mr. PAUL KOTOSCHIN, one of the Members
of the Government at Moscow, where several persons
have lately been arrested. The embers of the con-
spiracy are not yet cold

FROM THE MAINE, SHPT. 5.
We learn that the Viscount Regende, Minister from
*Brazil to the Austrian Court, has arrived at Vienna.
The. Austrian Government has given notice to the city
of Sal6urg, that it is raised to the rank of a fortress of
die first class, and that the necessary sums are already as-
14tred for the purpose of erecting the fortifications that
'ill be required.

FROM THE LOWER ELBE.
According to connnercial reports from Odessa, of 4th
August, the importation of corn from the interior of the
country begins to decrease, and the.trade in. that article
was very slack, but it was expected that -several
foreign ships 'would soon arrive, which would give
a little more animation to the market. Letters from
that place stay that both the town and neighbourhood had
been visited by swarms of locusts, which had devoured
every thing green in the gardens and fields in a few hours.
Latiters from Akkermann, of 10th of 'August, say that the
'Russian and Turkish plenipotentiaries were then in that
town : the former had arrived on the 4th of August, the
latter on the following day; that the Turkish Commission-
ers Were received with all the honours due to their rank,
and that the magnificence of their oriental costume had
at.tracted universal attention. On the Gth of August the
drat conference was held, on the 7th, the second; and on
the 9th, the third. The Turkish Commissioners always
le to the place of meeting in two coaches, drawn by six horses,
With two open carriages for the interpreters, and with agreat
train of domestics.

HAMBURG'', SEPT. 5.
Accounts from St. Petersburgh to 23d August contain
the following particulars :--
Our Journals contain an official letter from General
T)iehitsch, Chief of the General Staff, to the Military Go-
vernor of this capital, dated Moscow, 16th August, gat-
.
:mg that their Imperial Majesties are in very good health,
•and that on the 14th mid 16th August the Emperor had
inspected the troops in and near the capital, and expressed
entire satisfaction with their good appearance. With
respect to the day when the coronation of their Majesties
wt take place nothing is yet determined, or at least nothing
im positively knoWn in this capital. After considering the
rep rt of the committee charged with the investigation of
the late conspiracy, the
aul Emperot has dismissed Mr.
Kotosehin, Member of the Government at Moscow,

lic service. We hear that several persons have lately been

We are sorry to say, that the disorderHAGUE, SEPT. 7. at Urroningen has
not diminished. Not long ago, there were 700 patients in
the Military Hospital, of whom, however, only one have
died. It is supposed, that in the neighbouring places
Which are in similar. circumstances, the number of sick, and
of deaths' will be less in proportion. We learn from
Btetin, that the Magistrates
had put off the fair this year,
" on account (says the notice) of the extraordinary mor-
tality now prevailing."

The following is from the Allgemeine Zeitung of
the Sth September, also received this morning :

• CONSTANTINOPLE, AUO. 20.
Our capital is tranquil. The organization of the new
tr°°Ps, and the other reforms, proceed rapidly. The
;:I,,mber of Mm o'men already provided with fire-arms
:4 hsyonets, and clothed in the new uniform, is estimated
-,400. By the order of the Sultan, they must exercise
117. e a week in his presence, in the meadows near
114ickdere; *here the European Ambassadors have their
summer residences : it is said that they make good pro-
gr,r,"l:4. The above number of course includes only the
111,4`e", who are already trained or training ; that of the
de" enrolled is much greater. Notwithstanding this, great
bulP"dencY prevails among the lower orders, and trade and
no!nr.leas are at a stand. We have no news from the Morea,
retri_nas the Porte published any thing respecting the ope-
una of the Capitan Pacha against Samos.

- 'ding to the most recent accounts from Akermann,

the Russian ant! turiciih Commissioners had arrived and
had interchanged visits of ceremony, but the actual con-
ferences had not commenced.

Frankfort Papers of the sth inst. have also been re-
ceived, but their contents are unimportant :

MUNICH, AUG. 31.
A Bavarian Journal contains the. news that the Bavarian
General Board of Customs, on the proposal of the Com-
mercial Directors, and in conformity with a Royal rescript,
have appointed the following Commercial Agents for
Bavaria

For Rio de Juneiro—Mr. Peter Peyke.
For Mexico—Mr. Hermann Natte.
For Buenos Ayres—Mr. John Eschenburg.

Letters from Smyrna of 4th August, mention the
arrival there of his Majesty's ships Cambrian and
Rose:—

The Capital) Paella's fleet and some thousand troops are
opposite Samos, and an attack on that Island is hourly
expected, which will probably be frustrated by fifty Greek
cruisers in the vicinity, and by a vigorous defence on
the part of the Samiots. The Seringapatam had sailed
for Thernia, to search for property said to be concealed
there to a considerable amount. We are doubtful their ef-
forts will be equally unsuccessful with the former attempts
of the Cambrian.

It is a good sign that people are beginning to mend,
when they feel ashamed of their past conduct.—
It was but the other day that the Worshipful Bench at
Dorset, in the plenitude of their wisdom and the glory
of their power, thought proper to exclude Reporters
from prying into the secret of their ways, no doubt
conceiving that every crow sings his song best in a
corner, without the apprehension of hearing it echoed
again for the 'amusement of the public by the cuckoo
notes of a Reporter.

These Reporters are sad fellows for annoying modest
men by retailing all the good things spoken, but never
in imded for print ; and we know privately, that many
worthy Justices have been put quite to the blush at
their breakfast table, by a faithful report of their own
speeches. The thing sounded passing well from the
lips, and had wit or wickedness enough to set the crowd
in a roar, but fine sayings are evanescent things,
and slip through the fingers of the best reporters, who
can never do sufficient justice to country gentlemen.
We have known other great men, who, after laying
down the law to the astonishment of the beholders,
in a manner as novel as it was impassioned, coolly
shrink from the curious figure which it cut next
day in the newspapers, and actually disown the
extraordinary specimen of their wisdom, as a false,
unconstitutional, and libellous doctrine. ' But the
most instructive part of the lesson was, that people
told them at the time, of the unconstitutional ten-
dency of their decision, and were very properly si-
lenced by 44 Don't reply upon me, Sir ! I shall decide
as I think proper,"—and why not ? Every man has his
day. A turkey cock could not be more flattered at his own
importance, than a man who has bullied his fellows and
sits in conscious dignity, enjoying his spirited triumph.
But the pity is, that such sayings and doings cannot
last for ever. The intemperate justice to-day, who
rules the roast after his own fashion, is himself to-
morrow arraigned at the bar of public opinion, with
the tables turned against him, to his titter confilsion
and dismay. Go -where he will, he hears the same
story—himself the worthy theme of angry minds—and
his conduct the reprobation of every tongue.
But all this does good ;—the poor man's mind has
received a salutary admonition from the criticism of
his unceremonious friends the public, and learns in
future to square his conduct by the established rules
of society, taking common sense for his guide, and
public opinion for his monitor. It gives us unfeign-
ed pleasure in being able to bear witness to the
predominance of this good feeling, among the Magis-
trates present on Saturday at the Blandford Petty Ses-
sions, where they expressed their utmost readiness to
allow the admission of Reporters, and a free access to
hear their proceedings. This is as it should be ;
honest men and upright judges have nothing to fear
in the discharge of their duty, and it is the obvious
interest of the public to discountenance the practice
of deciding public questions in a corner merely to suit
the convenience, or gratify the private feelings, of parties,
whose reasons for adopting such a course could nut
endure the light.
