LONDON.
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 18t8.

The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 12th
inst. says, on the authority of the Austrian
Observer, that the Emperor NICHOLAS is
greatly disposed to conclude peace. That far
from wishing to violate tha integrity of the
Turkish Empire, he still requires nothing more
than satisfaction for the affronts offered him in
the famous Circular, and the necessary securities

For the future. In the name of wonder what

more could he want ? But he has not yet de-
fined the " necessary securities"--and, until he
favours the world with the nature of•these
trifles, we must withhold our belief in his
moderation, which is not a whit the more
modest because it is Imperial. It is the
very quality of ambition to deal in generalities

when pursuing the goal of its hope. And from
what we have hitherto seen of the Emperor NI-
CHOLAS, we see no reason to make him an ex-
ception to the master principle which shapes the
ends of all conquerors. It may be asked, why
does not the Emperor plainly avow to the world
what are his demands, and what the nature of
his required securities ? Why, because he does

not yet know himself the full extent of his de-
sires. His mind is labouring after some cer-
tain definite object, but he does not yet com-
prebend its relative position or affinity to many
other surrounding objects, and be does not

like to commit himself in distinct terms, till he
can obtain a glimpse of the many indispensable
contingencies which must arise upon his ac-
quiring the one thing needful. For this
reason he deals in vague generalities, with con-
stant professions of moderation. While be-
sieging Varna and Slimla, he only breathes
hope, appealing to the justice of his cause,
and the immensity of his wrongs. But once
let him master these obstacles, and the voice of
moderation will acquire new power when de-

nouncing the Turks in the thunder of his might
from the summit of the Balkan mountains. Again
let him defeat the Turks on the plains of Adria-
nople, and no persuasion on earth can prevent
his march to Constantinople. Ambition will
then change the tone of moderation into the
thunders of necessity. Let Constantinople be
burnt to the ground, as many have threatened
—what will that matter to NICHOLAS ?—it
is DOE houses that he wants—it is po-
sition. Give him the ground upon which
Constantinople stands, and his ambition can
build houses to suit its own purpose. The
possession of Constantinople, as a town simply,
would not support his army, for it is well known
that Constantinople depends for supplies on a
part of his own dominions.
The object of Lord HEYTESBURY'S mission
to NICHOLAS, is said to be for the purpose of
getting a distinct pledge of what the Emperor's
ulterior views are, and, in this object, he is said
to have been disappointed—simply, because, as
we have said, the Emperor does not know him-
self. He has a grand secret at heart, which can
only be unfolded as he proceeds in the consum-
mation of his ambition. Time alone can tell its
extent.

VIENNA, SEPT. 7.
His Majesty the Emperor went, on the 4th, from Wem-
zuil to Schonbrune, and then to Bade*. The reviews in
the camp at Traiskerchen began on the:9th of this month,
and end on the 24th, on which day the camp is to break
up. It is only to be hoped that the weather, which has
been for a long time extremely bad, may clear up a little.

Accounts from Odessa, of the 26th of Aug.,
state that the excessive heat which prevailed
there had changed to rain, which greatly facilitated
the military operations. Shumla was closely
invested, and the sorties made by the Turks to
re-estahlish their communications with Adrianople
and Rutschuk are said to have been repulsed with
spirit. The Emperor NICHOLAS was to be
before Varna on the 7th of September, when an
order to storm would be issued.

By the American:mail, Papers from Halifax
of the 16th ult. and Nova Scotia of the 13th,
have been received at the North and South Ame-
rican Coffee-house. The Arcadian of the 25th
August contains an account from _ Jamaica of
the 2.5 th July, which mentions that the pirates
still continued their depredations, and his Ma-
jesty's ships Espiegle, Grasshopper, .Nimble,
and Pincher, had been ordered to cruise on the
coast of Cuba, for the protection of the trade.
His Majesty's ships Tyne and Ringdove, and
transport Neva, had sailed with part of the 74th
Regiment for Bermuda, and the 96th Regiment
had received orders to embark at the latter port
in the same vessel on their return. His Ma-
jesty's packet Sphinx arrived at Halifax in 38
days.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELEZ 0' CLOCK

The gloom of the Consol Market appears to arise

from the determination of the jobbers to create a fall
by all possible means. The wiser heads arrogate to
themselves the right of valuing the importance of
every financial, political, and casual report, but it
must be observed that to their minds the price of
stock is at its tnaximum, consequently no possible rise
can take place, but every new feature may create a panic
and a fall. The lesser philosophers follow the same
train of reasoning, and hence the gloom so gene-
rally pervading ; but to the cost of these deep rea-
soners, if but a look is given to the market by a
Hebrew, the sensitiveness of the market is shown,
and much dread evinced, fearing the " People" may
become buyers. Little business has been done at
present; the public are still disposed to make in-
vestments in Stock and floating Securities. The
French Funds being lower has tended to depress the
market; Consols opened at 88k, went sellers at 88,
and have been done at 87k, both for Money and
time; the Commissioners were supplied at 88; India
Bonds are 95 97; Exchequer Bills 75 76 pm.
In the Foreign Funds, the chief topic is the ar-1
rival or visit of the Queen of Portugal to this coun-
try. It is said, and with great propriety the ques-
tion may be entertained, that if her Majesty honours
these shores with hzr presence, it will add much
to her dignity, her character, and her glory,
should she graciously condescend to honour the un-
fortunate holders of her country's bonds with their
dividend. We do hope her Majesty's advisers will
improve this subject, and make it not a mere report,
but a circumstance worthy of so great a Princess.
Portuguese Bonds have been done at 55i 6i; Bra-
zilian at 64k; Russian, 94 buyers; Danish, 631
64k; Peruvian, 21 22.
In Shares there is no fresh feature.

Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated Aug.
51 :—Arrived here the day before yesterday a French ship,
baying en board the crew of a ship from Havre, taken by
a pirate on the coast of Portugal, armed with one 18-
pounder, with a crew of 32 brigands belonging to all
nations. She has taken and sunk various vessels, French,
English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

A pear tree in a gentleman's garden at Porto•
hello, exposed to all the easterly blasts, (so very injurious
to fruit trees,) has, this year, produced the extraordinary
quantity of upwards of 4,850 pears, all brought to ma-
turity, and pulled last week. The tree is only twelve years
old.--Edinburgh Weehly Chronicle.
