spread on this occasion the Seraskier Chosrew Pacha, with
Q,OOO men, hastened to the spot. But before he reached
it the Russians had gone away, after they had destroyed the
battery of nine guns erected there, and taken in a supply of
water. Since that time not only have all the ports along
the Black Sea been considerably strengthened, but great
exertions are making on board the fleet stationed at the
entrance of the Bosphorus, and Sultan Mahmoud himself
went on hoard a few days ago to examine the condition of
the crew, and see how the officers attended to their duty.
The most rigorous measures are employed to maintain
tranquillity and order in the Capital, and to keep down the
prices of provisions. Several bakers, who sold provisions
short of the regular weight, have been punished in the
manner usual here. These and other measures of rigour
have hitherto not only prevented all excesses anal disorder,
but kept all the necessaries of life at very moderate prices.

AUGSBURG, OCT. 3.

The Allgerneine Zeitung has a letter from Constanti-
nople, of the 11 th Sept., the first part of which is merely
a repetition of the contents of the Turkish Bulletins, as
given in the Austrian Observer. It then proceeds :
" But far more important and decisive events, on which
ever side the advantages may be, are at hand. For while
the Grand Vizier, with the army of reserve, is approaching
the theatre of war, probably to secure the position between
Shumla and Varna, and the communications of both with
each other and with the capital, we learn by the most
recent accounts from Odessa, that the Emperor had left
that place on the 2d, to return to head quarters ;
and now that the expected reinforcements, especially
the guards, have arrived, to push the operations in person
with redoubled vigour. The main operations, it seems,
are to be directed against Varna, in order to obtain
a strong position in the rear, and keep open the communi-
cation by sea.
The same letters from Odessa announce the taking of
Akatcbakalah and Hertwiss, on the Asiatic frontiers, and
of Poti, at the mouth of the Phasis. On the other hand,
they confirm the accounts of the great losses which the
Russian army has su►tained on the Danube and the Bal-
kan, by diseases, and in consequence of the excessive heat.
They also inform us of the strict prohibition of the exporta-
tion of corn from the Russian ports on the Euxine to
Turkey. The Porte is also acquainted with the Conven-
tion between Admiral Codrington and the Viceroy of
Egypt, and with the arrival of the first division of the
French expedition in the Morea, which news was brought
to Smyrna by a French brig that left Navarin on the Ist
September, and the Captain of which announces that the
Admirals, the three Ambassadors, the President of Greece,
and Ibrahim Pacha, were assembled at Navarin on the 31st
of August.

If any one wishes demonstratiox of the
wretched shifts to which the Brunswickers are
reduced, or the wretched agents they employ to
get up petitions, we refer them to the Bow-street
Police Report given in our columns of yester-
day ; and if any one desires evidence of the con-
temptible state of the anti-Catholic party, even in
their strong hold,the county of Kent, we refer them
to the article inserted yesterday from the Kentish
Chronicle, wherein it is stated, as matter of
boast, after a period of six weeks' anxious exer-
tion, that in a county whose population exceeds
350,000, the Brunswick Club numbers COO !
We hail the circumstance as a triumph, or at
least the harbinger of triumph, of the great cause
of religious toleration, and as reflecting the
highest honour on the county of Kent.

The Brunswickers—the ultra-Protestant and
anti-Christian Brunswickers—appear to be com-
posed of two descriptions of persons, firstly, per-
sons of strong prejudices—which usually be-
speak weak intellects ; secondly, of persons pos-
sessing a strong sense (only) of their own insig-
nificance, ready to join in any cry by which they
hope to obtain a momentary importance and no-
toriety, or attain any benefit however insignificant
or disgraceful—noodles and knaves, with their
various intermediate gradations, who, with a
magnanimity peculiarly their own, always take
(what they believe) the strongest side of the
question ; the political descendants of the into-
lerant spirits of past ages, formerly ultra-Catholic,
now ultra- Protestant, and who in times present
as in times past, shew themselves as little endued
with the true feelings of Christianity, as the
Jews of old, who raised their yell against their
Divine Author.

In considering the state of Ireland, we cannot
help being greatly alarmed by the furious temper
Of the Protestant faction. They cannot conceal
their rage against their Catholic countrymen under
any cloak of decency ; they seem to exult at the
prospect of civil war in the country ; and they
throw out such shocking and brutal menaces in
their speeches, that, if they were not duly re-
corded, we could hardly believe in the existence
of such party violence. And it is singular that
Protestant Clergymen take the lead in all these
violent proceedings ; with the name of religion
on their lips, but with far different feelings in
their hearts, they blow up the flame of animosity.
But that our readers may have an idea of the
lengths to which they go, we shall quote the
words in which the Reverend Mr. HORNER
addressed a Protestant meeting at Tyrone. After
commenting on the horrors of a Catholic insur-
rection, and the dreadful retaliation which it
would provoke, he proceeds :—" I can conceive
that all that is recorded of past severities shall be
light when compared with what may then be
inflicted ; I can conceive that even the alterna-
tive of Connaught may no longer be left as a
refuge to the fugitives—(cheers) ;—but that an
indignant nation, giving a loose to its resent-
ment, and measuring punishment only by pro-
vocation; may rid the country of them alto-
gether, and rescue itself from the cruel neces-
sity of chastising them again." What con-
struction can be put on the words here used by
this man of peace, this Protestant Clergyman,
but that the Catholics are all to be massacred
by the triumphant Protestants in case of another
insurrection ? He speaks of " ridding the country
of them altogether." Now, how is this to be done
but by putting them to death—by murdering them
in cold blood ? And this seems to be the propo-
sition or threat of this roost humane Clergyman,
who must, no doubt, be a great ornament to the
