LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT Ql7 CHANCERY, OCT.
IN RE MARSH AND CO., RANERUTTN, ER-PARTS DAVIS.

Mr. KNIGHT resumed the arguments in this case,.
in support of the petition, and claithed the partici'.
lar attention of the Court to .this case, upon the de-
cision of which very great sums, and very important
interests, . depended, and which could not again be-
bronght before the Court. -
The Loup CHANCEMJ6R asked if ti ere were not-
some circumstances in the other cases which would
prevent their being bound by the same decision.
Mr. MONTAGU said, that although each case varied
from the other in some tminer points, their general
features were the -same; and •the decision of that
now before the Court must virtually decide all the
others: The whole amount of property in question
Was upwards of 280,000/: • -
The ATTORNEY-GESIMAL opposed the petition
on behalf of the co-trustees of Fauntleroy, who had,
under an order of the Court, already proved their
debt to the amount of I 6,000!. . _ _

Mr. Sergettnt BosANcturr and Mr. HORNS fol-
lowed, bat the case wai not concluded.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, OCT. 23.
CADELI.i THE MATTE/A OF HURST•

Mr. HORNH opened the petition. On the 19th
of April a commission bf bankruptcy issued against
the three bankrupts, Thames Hurst, John Hurst,
and Joseph Ogle Robinson. The relation between
'the parties before the- commission issued was : this.
For a considerable time the business of booksellers
and publishers had, been carried on by John Hurst
and Joseph We. Robinson, under the name of
Hurst, Robinson, and Co. This continued until
Christmas, 1825, at which time it was clear that
theie parties were insolvent, and unable to go on.
Mr. Thomas Hurst had been a-partner in the house
of Longman and Co.; - and though that firm was solvent
enough, yet Thos. Hurst individually was insolvent.
Mr. T. filirgr, an insolvent' person, withdrew from
the firm of Longman and Co. and joined the firm of
Hurst, Robinson, and Ca. that firm being alsornsol-
vent, and John Hurst and J. Ogle Robinson, who
composed the firm, being also individually insolvent.
Well, then, joint Hurst and Joseph. Ogle Robinson
wele insolvent at the time of the commencement of
:the new partnership, and, moreover, they knew that
they were insolvent. It, would be, contended on the
other side, that the terms of the partnership we're
these :—That in consideration of a debt due from
Hurst, Robinson, and Co., to Thomas Hurst, of
52,0004, and in consideration of two sums of money,
one of 10,0001. and the other of 28,0001., advanced
by Thomas Hurst to the said firm, 90,000/. worth
of stock should be given to the said Thomas Hurst
out of the valued stock of Hurst, Robinson, and
Co., and- the remainder of that stock was to be di-
vided among John Hurst and Joseph Robinson.
These terms, which were contained in a written in-
strument not signed, but intended 'at some future
time to be executed, would be. contended for by the
other side. But he did not impute any such inten-
tion to the contracting parties. He could not be-
lieve that these two gentlemen could giv,- this
fratkinlent . preference to one creditor,— (and Mr.'
'Thytnaa,Hursiwus- only a Creditor), especially as they
had' stated in their depositions that it was the under-
standing among theme-that the creditors or the old
arnr. s4tould be paid their jtist debts before the assets
iere transferred to the handbiof strangers. If the gen-
tlelnen on the other side chow to impute this fraudu-
lent concert to the contracting parties, they might do
so, but he would not. He now came to examine
the condition of the parties previous to the partner-
ship, from whence
_the Court would see that no
such arrangement as_ that which would be contended
for on the other side could be legally entered into.—
Long. before this partnership, Thomas Hurst had
been:engaged in large and ruinous speculations with
the firm of Hurst; Robinson,' and CO. :It appeared
in- evidence that they had engaged' together in. spe-
culations in hops, the purchase of which amounted
to 63,6764, and on the resale of which they realized
not quite 6,0001.: and that they entered into an-
other unfortimate speculation for building a new
town, to be called the New Town of Leeds. In
consequence of the demands which incurred from
these speculatiOns, Thomas Hurst was obliged to
draw all his capital, amounting to 38,0001., out of
the firm of Longman and Co., John Hurst and
Joseph Robinson not being able to meet those de-
mands. In addition to this, the name of Thomas
Hurst was upon bills of Hurst, Robinson and Co.,
to the amount of 100,0001.: an expedient. which
was found necessary to bolster'up the credit of Ro-
binson and Co. Under these circumstances the
partnership commenced ; and he put it to the Court
whether the parties were in such a situation that
John Hurst and Joseph Robinson could. give, and.
Thomas Hurst accept, the preferable claim now set
up by the creditors of the latter over the just and
equitable claims of the creditors of John Hurst and
Joseph Robinson upon the assets of the old firm.
Mr. SUGDEN opposed the petition.
The \TICE-CHANCELLOR said it appeared to him
that the: point for his decision lay in a very narrow
compass. A partnership was acknowledged, and the
partners all admitted that a certain instrument con-
tained the terms of the partnership. However hard
those terms might bear upon some of the creditors,
he could not, as a-. Judge, take that into his consider-
ation. The prior claim must be alloWed, and the pe-
tition dismissed.--Costs to be paid out of the
estate.

EX••PARTE THE DANE or SCOTLAND IN THE MATTER OF

HURST,

TLC VICE-CHANCELLOR also dismissed this peti-
tion, which involved the same point ; hot his
Honour not conceiving a separate petition necessary,
dismissed it with costs.

THE ST. KATHARINE's DOCK.—=Yester-
day, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the St. Ka-
tharine's Dock Company, the ceremony that is to be ob-
served at the opening of the Dock on Saturday next (to-
morrow) came under consideration, and the following were
the arrangements decided upon. The company having red
tickets will Lave the opportunity ,of ranging and inspect-
ing the Dock, to view the entrance of the shipping, and
the.business of the day; but the holders of the blue tickets
only can partake of the splendid collation which will be
provided. The following are the general orders given as
to opening the flood-gates. The tide is expected to -an-.
swer about half-past one o'clock, when the water gates will
be gradually opened by the band-cranes, and the immense
temporary timbers at the pier-head will be hauled up from
the grooves by windlasses, thus offering no further inter-
ruption to the entrance of the Thames. When this is
done, the ships will be hauled in under the direction of
Captain 'CoartrroN, the Dock Master, and Mr. krcinsox.
The first ship which will enter the • bacon will -be the
Elizabeth East Indianian, free trader, laden with merchan-
dise from that country. She will be followed by six others
in the same trade, four of which will be also in lading, but
the other two will be in ballast only. The yards of the
ships will be manned hy.their respective crews, and all parts
of the rigging will be dressed with !lags and streamers of
every denomination. The moment the ships pass from the
Thames into the first lack, the guns stationed around the
docks, and upon the adjacent shores, will fire several
rounds upon the occasion, anal the military bands stationed
in
various parts of the stupewlo43 work will strike up the
national anthem and Rule Britannia. The Chairman, the
Deputy-Chairman, and Board.of Directors, will assemble
in the dock-house, with the Architect, Surveyor, Builders,
anal other gentlemen connected with the establishment,
and proceed roun.t the various departments. After which-
an elegant cold collation will he served to the company
possessing the blue ticket, and tables accommodating nearly
2,000 persons will be laid cut in the different warehouses.--
r The arrangements are under the direction of Mr: lIALL,
the Secretary.

.51EITMED ALL.

This Pacha unites in his person the most un-
congenial and contradictory qualities and views.
A; genius far above the prejudices of his co-re-
ligionists-La natural gift of perspicacity, pene.-
tration, andprudenee, which, in a certain degree,
is equivalent to, information and cultivation—
cold cruelty—credulity and confidence in in-
triguers-Lgoing '.to Egypt to acquire riches,--
these are the principal traits that characterize
Mehmed Ali. It has been said that he was
borii at Martinique, and had been captured on
his passage,: together with his younger sister, by
the !Barbary Corsairs ; and it has been added,
that, having been sold at Constantinople, this
young Creole wady' had become favourite Sul-
tana,‘ and bad, by her powerful intercession,
made- her _brother's fortune. All this is, how-
ever, false. IVlehmed Ali was born, in the
year j 769, at Kaval, in Rutnelia. The au-
dacity: and coolness Which he exhibited On
every' mos ion procured him the friendship of
the Tsehorbaschiyor Governor a Rumelia.' He
served in the expedition which was sent against
the French in Egypt. He-landed at Aboukir,
and distinguished himself at Ratnainsh, in a battle
with General La Grange, After the retreat of the
French, Mitred Bey and Elfi Bey came down
from Saib and Fayuin. They endeavoured to
regain their former authority. • Hence arose long
and continued internal dissensions. The English-
wanted to restore the Mamelukes .on the old
footing : they had concluded Treaties of Com-
merce—assisted the Beys—instigated them to
insurrection, and, at the same time, brought
about a mutiny at Alexandria. Mehmed de-
feated them, killed • their Generals, Fraser and
Waeop, and compelled them to re-embark ; after
which he turned his arms against the Mamelukes,
besieged them, and permitted them to remain at
Cairo. However, their commotions induced the
Pacha to a grand coirp detat a St. Bartholomew.
He invited, the Chiefs to a feast,- to celebrate the
departure of his daughter to Mecca, and caused
them to be treacherously murdered. Since
this :bloody tragedy, the Pacha engaged in
the foundation and promotion of the prosperity
of Egypt. His sons, Tusstm and Ibrahim, had
succeeded in conquering the Wechabites in
Arabia. Inahe year 1818 he sent his youngest
son to Sennaar and Nubia ; but Ismael died on
his return. The remainder of Mehmed
history is too well known to require a detailed
account of its occurrences.

WAR, BETWEEN THE RUSSIANS AND

TURKS.

BY A BRITISH OFFICER.

CAMP BEFORE iur.aEvo, ON THE LOWER DA MIRE.,
28TH JULY, 1829.

I have persevered •thus far in my attempts to
visit the Russian army as an amateur, for the
purpose of, observing its operations against the
Turks. - Hearing that frequent sorties were made
by the troops of Kutchuck Achutet from Giur-
gevoi..l obtained the. sanction. of the Governor
of the principalities to come here—have attach-
ed myself for the present to the corps of the
Russian army before the fortress ; and am par-
taking of the hospitality, and sharing the black
bread and inconveniences of the Cossack:and
Russian soldier in his bivouac before the enemy.
The Danube here runs near W. and E. along
the foot of a range of Bulgarian hills-4s wide
deep, and rapid, and encloses several islands be-
tween its boundaries. On its right bank is
Rutschuck, a fortress with a large garrison ; and
a very little lower down, on the opposite -side,
forming a sort of tete de pont, is the small but
tolerably strong fortress of Giurgevo. It is an
irregular work, built after European principles,
presents three or four bastions towards the field,
has a citadel, contains a garrison of about 4,000
men, which may be increased at pleasure from
Rutschuck, and mounts about 150 pieces of
• cannon.

To the north, distant about five miles, and
nearly parallel with the above-mentioned hills, is
another range (or rather the ground presents an
inclination to the south), at the foot of which,
and immediately opposite to Giurgevo, are three
Niuscovite encampments, whence the minarets
of the latter place, as well as those of ltutschuck,
are seen with the naked eye. The intermediate
space is an open plain, with scarcely any undu-
lation, and covered with small brushwood, Indian
corn, long grass, ;Ind high thistles, &c. affording
localities for skirmishing to the foragers and out-
posts of both parties.

Thus disposed, the troops may be said to be
continually under arms ; the infantry are always
in square ; they eat, drink, and sleep in square ;
and at night, in the most inclement weather,
never quit that form. The General and Field
Officers only have tents ; sheds or temporary
huts, composed Of branches and hay, "are erected
for the other officers and troops, close to' their
stations, under which they are allowed to retire
in the middle of the day from the burning heat
of the sun, which within the last few days has
has been 100° and 105° .of Farenheit in the
shade ; and it is then only that a portion of the
horses are unsaddled; so that in the event of an
alarm,-it requires but little time put the whole
force in march for its position.
There is no scarcity of provisions, though
the quality of the bread, " of the darkest hue,"
is bad ; and the water, which is very indifferent, is
supplied from the neighbouring wells.
But the Russian soldier is a tough material,
and ordinarily calculated to Jbear the fatigues and
hardships of war. In the manner above alluded
to, subsisting on food of very inferior quality, he
is constantly exposed to all weathers, for here the
burning heat of the day' is generally succeeded
by cold, damp, chilly nights ; and the thunder
storms, which at certain seasons are so frequent,
are accompanied by torrents of rain, which in-
stantly deluge the country with water. These
to ordinary constitutions would be fatal, but on
him they seem to have comparatively no effect.
With an implicit obedienee to orders, the Rus-
sian is, as it were, a complete machine. Care-
less and thoughtless of danger, indeed, without
exercising his reasoning faculties, he moves when
he is told, and halts when he is commanded ;
nor will he under the severest fire retire, unless
ordered to do so. II was surprising to see the
perfect indiffe-rence with which a regiment, the
order day, stood under a rather severe can-
, nonage, and the apathy with which .-the . men
looked at the balls and shells that fell around

them ; and it is a fact, that at the siege of lbraila
a considerable column, which was destined to
storm the place, missed its way and got into the
ditch, where there was not the slightest .vest►ge
of a breach. in this situation they were. nearly
annihilated ; :nor would .they, notwithstanding
the .mistake was evident, move, until a positive
order frou the Grand Duke Michael was sent to
recall them.

. But the Cossacks excite most my curiosity
and interest ; equally brave and hardy as the re-
gular Russian soldier, they possess a sagacity
and cunning which is not characteristic 'of the
former. When the firing commenced, it was
easily observed that the Cossacks around began
instantly to assume an alacrity and to be alive to
what was going on. They took their horses in
hand—never remained quite stationary—kept a
sharp look-out in the direction. of the fire of the
cannon, and watched the ricochet of the ball and
flight of the shell, so as to be in readiness to
avoidthem. They are an incongruous set,
tertainly ! Some old fellows, with , tong,. grey
beards—some smart, yonnbcr
,iadi-7-some aktnoat
Itl rags. and patches of. various • colours—While
others are in very decent attire. The. Cossack
who is appointed to attend me as orderly, is a
young man, by no • means Cossack like, accord-
ing to the »otions I had formed of those people;
I was struck by his -civilised appearance , and
manners, ; ror•ou my arrival, when :he. first came
to nie, with the respectful deportment of a
soldier, united. to miatisiness and almost elegance
of manner, ha said he was sent to wait upon roe
by order otitis Oeueral, and had the honour of
presenting himself to receive my commands. I
do not mean to say they are all adds class, but
I am told that Some. of them ate people of great
wealth in their. own country, amassed chiefly by-
plunder, in the last wars; yet se great is their.
passion: for that species of gain, " ayri „sacra
fames," that, notwithstanding their riches, they
voluntarily leave theii families and comfortable
.dwellings„.and expose themselves, at an advanced
age, to dangers, in quest of more.
That -they are marauders, and that they are
rather merciless at times, is true ; for an attempt
was made to make them give up for the general
good the plunder they took in action,:bnt
with-
out success,—it was then found that no prisoners
were takens-.—they were invariably killed : so
that, as their services are .so essential :to the
army, it is become•necessary to sanction their
practices ; and to prevent atrocities, the Emperor
has issued a very humane order, by which the
Cossack or soldier receives one ducat for every
prisoner on foot taken alive, mid two ducats for
every prisoner mounted.
the. Cossacks are divided into reat'iments of
five hundred each, having a standard and, Captain
for every hundred, independent of junior officers
two, or more field-officers for the whole,
accoiding to cireumstancess • and a .Lieutenant-
Colonel, or Colonel-Commandant, whose name
the. regiment_bears. In their bivouacs, as well
as in their operations anti attacks, they seem to
pay little
_regard to regularity : and their huts,
those Of the officers, as well as those of the
men, in front of which are picketted their
horses, are formed in the simplest and rudest
manner imaginable :—sometimes three pikes or
pOles with branches and hay, or perhaps their
burkas, or cloaks of skin,- thrown over them, form
their- dwellings.
Dressed in a short, blue jacket, without but-
tons, but hooked down the front—loose trowsers
of the same colour—a cylindrical, and sometimes
a fur or forage cap—seated upon a cushion fixed
to a high saddle—mounted upon a small, bony,
and by no means Bucephalus-like, but certainly
hardy, horse—armed with a pistol stuck under
each arm in a girdle, a firelock slung across his
shoulders, and sword, or a long twelve. foot pike,
—the Cossack is, on the least alarm, instantly
ready for the combat. He is endowed by his
nature and habits with an instinct which peculiarly
'fits him for the duties of outposts, and for their
service (in which, by the by, I am taking some
lessons) I suppose the Cossacks the best troops
in the world. The confidence reposed in them
is such, that the whole duty of the advanced
posts is intrusted to their care, and performed
by 250 men ; and so great is their patience and
vigilance, that nothing escapes their observation,
and not a Turk can stir without their knowledge.
The moment an .elarm is given, the first two
or three that can get ready immediately sally forth
from the bivouac—these are followed by six or
eight—these again by moreand lastly comes
the reserve, or main body, in perhaps greater
order. In their regular attacks, they are some-
times in one, and sometimes in two ranks, ac-
cording to their strength ; they advance in the
form of a semi-circle, with this centre retired ;
the greater numbers immediately fly off and seek
the tiauks and rear of the enemy, while a small
portion, supported frequently by a reserve, attack
to the front ; but perhaps what makes them the
most formidable, is the extraordinary facility with
which they disperse and instantly collect again
in a pulk or body upon any particular part of the
enemy's line. However, for the most part, they
pay little attention to regularity ; so that after an
attack, having no trumpets or sounds to assemble
them, and as they do not always take out their
standards, their Captains are obliged, by dint of
hallooing, or in the best manner they can, to
collect their pulks. They do not in general use
the pike like the lance, but couch it, and ride
full gallop, like the knights of old, at their an-
tagonists. The Turk justly fears it; as the in-
strument, should it not kill, inflicts a dreadful
gash ; and the unfortunate sufferer, when severely
wounded and transpierced,has often been known
to say. " Ah, Cossack ! Cossack ;" and by
signs implore him to put an end to los miseries
by an effectual thrust.
After having overcome
his prisoner, the first
thing the Cossack does, is to seize upon his
Turks
arms, which with the arehighly orna-
mented and valuable—
his turban and sash, which
• • Qgreat worth
are sometimes cashmere shawls_ of
and his purse ; and if he is not killed or badly
wounded, time victor then places his unfbrtunate
behindman him, upon the very cantle of hi,
saddle, seizes him by the hands, and gallops off
with him to the rear. In this situation, jolted
and galled almost to death, I saw a Turkish
chief (a Colonel), a few days ago, who had
been taken prisoner by an old2rme):1:!:, of ,
grey-bearded
e(1
toothless Cossack, at the minim,
alLir, and was by him brought before the Ge.
nand for examination.

The outposts have skirmishes daily ; but the

Cossacks and Turks' seem to have a good un.
derstaudina between them, for they often meet,
talk to each other, and, carry en.war in a more
way Man formerly.
The Turks, perhaps I should say those of
the wariso,PlQf kiiurgevo and Rutschuck, do not
correspond with,.the.idea I had formed of them,
r from 41.tliat I have heard or read .of that race—
iiideed, I believe we have generally a very im-
perfect knowledge 'of that nation, and that most
'of the' accounts we receive of them are much
'misrepresented or exaggerated. There is a

as I said. the, forces. of the shove: garrison do not

Turkish soldier. .From the specitien before us,
it would induce a belief that they had either de-
generated as warriors, or, which 'is • most natural
to suppose, that the Sultan has the flower of ihe
Ottoman forces at Shumla, tehind the Bzilkan ;
but the invincible Janissary no longer exists ;
and the daring Spahi, with his proud Arab
charger,,does not glitter amid the ranks of Km-
chuck 4chmet, whose troops are mounted upon
small, ohlinary, and sometimes very inferior
horses.

to the ankle ; a close waistcoat, open at the neck,
and covered - below by. a 'shawl. tied round the
waist ; a jacket'witb, very. full and Abort sleeve.s,

on his feet, form the usual and very becoming
►tress of.a The trowsersi waistcoat, and
jacket are of various colouri, and ornamented
with- embroidery ; and the turban is white, green,
or otherwise,• according to the 'rank and priv ilevs
of the wearer. 'His arms are a lOng knife, called
a handjar
,or,yatagan, used for cutting off heads,
a brace of pistols, which he carries in a broad
leathern girdle, a gun slung across the shoulders,
and a curved 'sabre, his deXterity in the use of
which is such, that with a single blow, or rather
cut, he•will sever the head Trout the bodtir.

The Turks have little or no method in: their
movements, or in their mode of warfare. Some-
thnes. they will sally forth from the fortress in
bodies of 100 or 150, and endeavour to surprise
an advanced post of Cossacks, near- the village
of Slobodze, on.the'westbf.Gitirgevo e and some-
times, with- a largereforee; they will ineke, a dash
on the lefeflank of tbei-eamp (where several have
been killed in the very bivouac of-the Cossticks),
in the rear of which are some stores and waggons,
supposed by them to be treasure.
The Paeha is very active, and has fa-
vourite days.for sorties, which are generally on
Thursdays, Saturdays, or Sundays. Reinforced
by t.toops from Rutsehuk, he will at those time:;
coneont with a force of 6 or 7,000 men, and
endeavour at once .to penetrate to the encamp-
ment of -his enemy ; or he will draw tip tinder
protection of the guns of the fortress, and tempt
his adversary-from' his position, and within range
of the shot of the works. Frequently, after can-
nonading for a tiine, the Turks will move for-
ward in .a tolerable line of cavalry and infantry
Mixed ; and then, in masses or wedges, com-
posed promiscuously of those two forces, and with
shouts of " Allah I Allab I Allah l" they will
.adyaaw: upon their opponents. Infuriated often
by- opium, they are very vigorous at first ; but
the coolness and firmness el the Russians—Who
usually receive them in squares, supporting each
other, and the cavalry having at the same time
guns at their angles—and the steady and well-
directed- fire, particularly of their artillery, soon
disperse and put the Moslem to flight, and then
the COssaeksarelet loose upon them. They have
always been very wary of the squares Ofinfantry ;
upon which, notwithstandingthey arc only formed
three deep, the Turkish cavalry have not suc-
ceeded in making any impression.
The field-pieces of the Turks are, if any thing,
of a smaller calibre than those of the Russians,
and were at first drawn by bullocks instead of
horses; but in the practice of their artillery they
are by no means so deficient as is generally sup-
posed : it is possible they may have foreigners
with them—for their shot, contrary to received
opinion, are thrown with an accuracy that would
do credit to regularly disciplined artilleryists.
The Turkish prisoners meet with any thine-
but ill treatment from the Russians. The. Cos-
sacks will occasionally be rather merciless ; but

DEPARTURE OF THE SULTAN TO THE

CAMP.

(From the German Papers.)

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 17, (O.S.)—On the
15th inst. (26th N.S.) the Sultan left this city to
go to the camp at *Ramistschiflik, to bear with re-
verent solemnity the sacred standard to the.head-
quarters of the Moslem army.
On the preceding evening the whole city was in
motion ; soldiers of all descriptions, the innumerable
servants of the .Seraglio, followed by a prodigious
train of camels and mules loaded to the utmost of
their strength to support the burden, with ammu-
nition and•provisions. At sunrise of the 15th the
city was aroused by-the sound of drums and martial
music in all' its quarters. The road from the, Se-
raglio to the outer gate was filled with an impene-
trable crowd, composed in.& great degree 4 women
• singular phenomenon in Constantinople. At
* six o'clock the first column of infantry•was put in'
motion, and it was speedily followed .by -a second
of about 3,00 P men; other troops succeeded. In
'the meats. time the sacred men of the law, ulema=,
the Ministers'Of State, and all other functionaries,
proceeded to the SeragliO to offer their , duti-
ful attendance to his Sublime Highiiess,—the
ulemas in the splendid turbans peculiar to their
order, the other Ministers of all classes armed
with 'sabres and pistols, and wearing white shawls
on their heads and scarlet upper coats. Several
carriages with ladies accompanied the pageant, and
the roofs of the houses were covered with spectators.
A burst of music, louder by far than that which
had resounded for the whole day, was now heard ;
and 100 camels richly caparisoned were seen ad-
vancing, led by Asiatics, singing with apparent en-
thusiasm the war songs of the Arabs. These camels
bore the treasure and the wardrobe of the Sultan.
Next followed a train of Agas and inferior officers,
which was closed by a body of from 300 to 400
muderries and ulemas.

The Seraskier Pacha followed with the cavalry ;
and in his company was the representative of the
Grand Vizier, with the other Ministers.

Between the ranks of the guard of the Kuima
Kain were twenty saddle horses for the private ser-
vice of the Sultan.

Behind a body of Niemis of the first rank, many
Emirs, the Muftis, Kadis ( judges), &c. was a superb
carriage, bearing the case of the sacred standard:
The " Standard of the Prophet" was itself. borne
in the hand of the chief of the Emirs; whose Office
it is to guard this palladium,-and who rode on horse-
back. The standard seems to be of small size; it
was covered with green silk ; it was surrounded by
twelve singers, hymning glory to the •Prophet, and
as many pages, flinging over it the most costly per-
fumes. Immediately after followed the Sultan in
person, dressed with grcat simplicity. He wore a
white shawl over his head, and a scarlet surcoat,
•
He had no guard in immediate attendance upon his
person, but he was followed at some distance by
about 1,000 infantry and 1,500 cavalry, regular
troops, all trained to the new tactics by the Mo-
narch himself. •

Next came several carriages.
At the gate which leads to the camp, near the
arcack of .IRarnitschiffik, the Minister, Pachas, and
Grandees received the Sultan.

The ttmin came through the rate of Kupazi out of
the town. At twelve o'clock of the day the Sultan
arrived at the barrack.

Since the 15th ult. an immense quantity of troops,
cannon, and ammunition, is incessantly pouring in
upon the camp. It is said that the Sultan will set
out for Adrianople; the Ministers' Assistants, &c.,
are all still dressed in the military costume, and are
under orders to hold themselves in readiness to set
put for the scene of operation at a minute's notice.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Cazette de France, Oct. 22.)

CORFU, SEPT. 24.—Letters from Zante say, that
a French man of war hass arrived there from Nayarit',
with the Commissary of the French army on board,
who is come to contract with 'several mercantile
houses for the supply of the French troops. It is
said that the offers ate to the amount of 700,000

francs per month.
The French army, which is landed, is said to
amount to 9,000 men, and 1,400 horses. The ether
division of 8,000 men was daily expected. When
the vessel left all the forts were on the point of being
evacuated, and most of the Egyptians- embarked.
Ibrahim had taken particular care of his cavalry, aad
would not suffer a single horse to be sold or left be-
hind. The Egyptian transports -not being sufficient,
French transports bad been offered him, and he was
only waiting for the return of two Turkish-frigates
from Patras, which were sent there, escorted by an
English brig, to fetch some Egyptian detachments.
All the Moreot Turks who would not follow Ibra-
him have been sent to the fort of Old Ntivarin, and
a negociation is on foot with the Greek Govern-
ment to obtain a guarantee for their safety. The
forts have been given up to the French, who have
began by purifying. They commenced with that of
Navarin, in which are the French head-quarters, and
Count Guilleminot.

,It was generally reported that Mustapha Bey, of
Candia, had expressed his intention to capitulate.
Later accounts from Navarin announce, that on
the 16th 6,000 Egyptians had sailed with Ibrahim.
Llis effective army amounted to about 12,000 men ;
and including 10,000 servants, grooms, and indivi-
duals of that descriptionoo 22,000 in
PARIS, OCT. 21.—The 1,200 Egyptians left in
Coron, Modon, and Patna, must be added to the
Turkish garrisons which are already in those for-
tresses, and their force, estimated at 6,500 men,
will thus be raised to nearly 8,000 men. The 1,200
Egyptians who are to go to those fortresses will re-
„ewe a supply of provisions for four months ; and
as this supply would be of no use if the remainder
of the garrisons were to starve, the whale will be
provisions.furnished with Though the treaty of
evacuation does not expressly contain this condition,
private letters leave no doubt on the subject ; and,
besides,
how can it be ,apposed that the Pacha of
y
Egypt would consent to have part of his
soldiers
shut up in the fortresses without beingsure that the
would have the means of subsisting
This convention has only one advantage—tbet of
preventing a riipttrre between France and
.M ahornet
Ali; in other respects it causes our expedition mole
embarrassment than it will spare it. Gen. Maison
would, perhaps, have managed more easily with
Ibruhim and his 20,000 men in want of provisions,
suffering from disease, and his garrisons starving,

than with sour or five fortresses w supplied
with
provisions, and with sufficient garrisons for their de-
fence. The Treaty of Alexandria places tia
new position; the Ministry can no longer hope t
hat
the expedition will be very soon terminated, witht
sending reinforcements, and without placing us in
open hostility with the Porte.
As has been said, it is not the Pacha of Egypt
who has capitelated, but rather the contracting
Powers who have capitulated with. him. This un-
toward result can only be attributed to the ir,coll-
ceivable ignorance in which Admiral Rigny was left,
who, as it were, did not hear of an expedition till
the first ships arrived. If he had been informed in
time, he would certainly have broken off the nego-
tiations that were commenced, or haVe given them
another direction.
A telegraphic despatch from Toulon dated the
19th, announces the arrival of the Cybele, from Na-
varin (which it left on the 6th) with despatches.
Admiral de Rigny announces, that Ibrahim sailed
on the 4th inst., preceded by 2,000 men and 1,000
horses, and that the fortresses would be immediately
summoned.
An expedition, under General Schneider, hail set
oat for Patras.—Moniteur.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

PARII, OCT. 21.--In -the unforeseen find a little
more than doubtful situation in which the affairs of
Europe
,have tist been' placed; when negoeiations

peep out amid hostilities, and the diplomatic cohorts
are, to use the expression, more occupied than the
naval and military forces, it is very natural for French-
men to look with redoubled interest at the present
state of French diplomacy. • • •
A journsl.this, dakatmottnces the departure of M.
de la Ferroim*from 'the waters of- Carlsbad, and
his passage=` to, ,Frankfort, the lgth of the present
month. We can state as certain that this high per-
sonage is expected here on the 2-Ith or 25th at the
latest. It is said that the health of M. de la Fer-
ronnay has not been sufficiently improved by the use
of. t4e..mineral waters, nor by some months of
repose, to resume the assiduous labours which the
possession of a special portfeuille commands ; but it
is! hoped that he will be able to take the general di-
rection.of affairs in the less fatiguing post of Pre-
sident of the Council of Ministers.

This accession to power may appear to some as
favourable to the interests and politjcs of Russia.
Such an opinion would seem the better founded,
after the decoration of the military order granted
'very lately by the Emperor Nicholas to the son of
M. de la Ferronnay, who is gone to fight, and has
just distinguished himself in the Muscovite ranks,
and which recals in a most lively manner the long
connections of the father with the Empire of the
Czar. For ourselves, we wish that Count de la
Ferronnay, the President of the Council, would have
no other interest nor yield to any other influence,
than the influence and the interest of his country.
