BRUSSELS PAPERS.

TRIESTE, AUG. 9.—According to the accounts
given by Captains of ships, Ibrahim Pacha has re-
ceived from his father permission to evacuate the
Morea, with notice, that the transports necessary to
fetch him and his troops have already sailed from
Alexandria. It is therefore believed, that before the
French expedition arrive, Ibrahim Pacha will already
have left it.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 25.—The accounts from
the theatre of war, which the Government has re-
served to itself the right of publishing, are all very
favourable to the cause of the Turks, and inspire
the Porte with fresh courage. According to the
first Turkish Bulletins, there was an action near
Bazadjik, with a division of Russian cavalry, in
which the latter had great difficulty in keeping the
field. The following bulletins up to 20th July, and
which treat of two attempts on the 15th and
20th, against Varna, which is defended by the
Captain Pacha, in which the Russians are stated to
have been defeated with great loss, and also to have
suffered much at Widden, Rudschick, Choumla, and
Ghiurgevo, have filled ie people with enthusiasm,
and rendered the general levy much more easy.
AboVe 60,000 men have already inserted their
names in the lists of Cboseres Pacha, and hundreds
of artisans daily come to offer their services. The
resolution of the Government to expel the Greeks
from the capital has not yet been executed, but
seems to be deferred, as the Porte looks on the
Greeks with distrust, though their Chiefs, and
lespe.cially the ratriarch, endeavour to sheer the
greatest hdelity, and a prayer is read in all the Greek
churches for the happy issue of the war.

NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN TURKEY.
From the 23d to the 27th of July.

BRUSSELS, AUG. 22.—The head-quarters of his
Imperial Majesty, and the two corps of the army,
were, on the 26th, in the camp near the village of
Butaktyk, not far from Choumla.
On the same day they were removed to the heights
which the advanced posts of the Seventh Corps had
occupied in the the battle of the 20th. We were
then within cannon-shot of the fortress. The
enemy does not make any resistance. Lieutenant
Uszakow reports that, on the 20th the Turks at-
tacked the right wing of the corps besieging Varna,
but that they were repulsed with great loss.
Admiral Greigh reports, that he has arrived off
Mangali with the squadron under his command, hav-
ing on board the Third Brigade of the Seventh Di-
vision of Infantry, and that he was proceeding to
Varna.
General Roth, commanding the 6th corps of In-
fantry, arrived on the 21st July near Silistria, at the
distance of six wersts (four English miles) from
the fortress. He fell in with 4,000 horse, who imme-
diately were attacked, and driven back with the loss
of 200 killed and a great number wounded. Our
troops invested Si/istria on the 21st. The garrison
has been increasedd7to ?2,000, exclusive of the armed
inhabitants. Major-Ge,ueral Syrow, commanding
the troops of the Don, who was detached on the
25th to Bazhrad, announces tbst he found in the
town 150 of the enemy, of whom sixty were killed,
and the other were driven out of the place.

LISBON' PAPERS.
LISBON, AUG. 4.—The Gazette contains a Royal
Decree to the following effect ;-.”--
" Various civil, military, and eceles;astical autho-
rities having represented to me that, notwithstand-
ing the orders given, and the measures taken, to
disarm the guerillas, who united in defence of these
kingdoms, there have lately appeared ill-disposed
men, enemies of public traniaillity, who, going
about in arms, attack the peaceable inhabitants, ill-
treating them, and committing yarions ,excesses,
thus increasing the wicked principles of rebellion
and destruction with which the military faction
which declared itself on the 16th of May this year,
in the city of Oporto, desolated the provinces of the
North—and such criminal proceedings requiring
prompt and energetic measures to put an end to
such disorders, and restore peace and tranquillity to
the inhabitants of these kingdoms, by delivering
them from such detestable enemies, S.IP Teased
to order that all persons taken in arms and roAan4-
ting hostile acts shall be immediately arrested by
any civil or military authority, and sent to the Ge-

th 27th of last month,
LISBON, 4.pG. 3.—On
his Majesty, wit:, the Infantas, his sisters, went to
the Royal Palace of 4!fiete, and on crossing the
Tagus, the English men-of-w4and others fired the
salutes ;natal on such occasions, the yards being
manned, Sze. We mention this circumstance, though
rather late, because we have learned that some
pertinaeious in their Anti-national ideas, have
tn
reported in company, and aopg fop!ish people, that
this was not the reason of those naval
civilities. kaintes an
LISBON, AUG. Majesty, 'who wit}}thg
greatest solicitude attends to all the important busi-
ness el the State, went on the 9th of this month 011

LONDON.
MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1828.

The Aligen:eine Zeitung of the 18th inst. has
been received. It contains some news from
Constantinople, but it is not entitled to much
credit. It is said that the CAPSTAN PACHA
having unexpectedly arrived at Varna with consi-
.
siderable reinforcediots, succeeded in defeat-
ing the Russians, with a loss of 5,000 men, their
number amounting in all to 20,000. It was
reported at Constantinople that the Russians had
succeeded in taking Erzerum, and that the Per-
sians had declared War against the Russians ; but
this latter news was not credited. The attack on
Varna was said to have been by a coup de
main, supported by four men of war, but which
failed after twelve hours' fighting. The practice
of cutting off the ears of prisoners is now said to
be abolished, probably in deference to some re-
monstrances of the European Ambassadors.
Much fear was, however, entertained, in the midst
of all the recent improvements, that the rebellious
spirit of the Janissaries would break out ; and it
was again reported that such symptoms had
manifested themselves in the camp at Schumla,
where HUSSEIM PACHA found it difficult to en-
force obedience. After the skirmishing on the
17th, it is said that the commander of a regiment
of cavalry, who had not done his duty, and was
threatened by HUSSEIN! PACHA to beware of
the consequences of behaving so another time,
fired a pistol at the Seraskier, but missed him,
on which HUSSEIN! immediately drew his sabre
and cut him down. The regiment of cavalry,
attempting to revenge the death of its commander,
is said to have been cut to pieces, by HUSSEINI's
command.

Frankfort Papers of the 18th inst. say, that at
the Sitting of the Swiss Diet, ou the sth inst.,
a note was communicated by the Spanish Mini-
ster, protesting against the recognition of the late
Spanish Colonies in South America by the Con-
federation, and against the nomination of M.
LAVATER to the office of Swiss Consul ill
Mexico. The answer of the Diet is not given,
although M. LAVATER has been formally in-
stalled in his office in Mexico ; but the applica-
tion of FERDINAND strongly reminds us of the
adage—" he shuts the stable after the horse is
sPlen."

By recent arrivals from Lisbon we have news
to the 10th instant, the character of which is of
the same unvarying persecution. CrIAVES bad
arrived in Lisbon, and it was said that a misun-
derstanding had taken place between MIGUEL
and his hopeful Mother—in other words, that
SIN and DEATH had quarrelled for supremacy.
In either ease the People can be no worse, on
the principle that when rogues fall out the
holiest man is likely to get his own.

The French Papers of Friday, and the Gazette
de Franck dated Saturday, have been received,
,extracts from which will be found in another
column. There is nothing positively new from
the seat of war.

According to accounts from Paris, the second
division of the Expedition sailed from Toulon
on the 18th, and the third was to sail on the
gpsi
even more were to follow, as a
new corps .was
said to be ordered to reinforce
General MAisokr. Tbus it would appear
that the French Ministry are playing a
,deep trick—they do not wish to alarm our
Ministry by sending the whole at once, but
divide thew into sections? the more easily to

lull our credulity asleep. We should not be
surprised if the Duke be roused in a fit of terror
exclaiming—who would have thought it ?—the
rascals have deceived me !
PROCLAMATION OF GENERAL MAISON.
Road-Quarters, at Toulon, Aug. 15.

In concert with his Allies, your King charges you with
a grand and noble mission, and you are called on to put an
end to the oppression of a celebrated nation. This enter-
prise, which will do honour to France, and which every one
applauses, opens to you a career of glory, for the first time
since the thirteenth century, will appear off the shores
of Greece. Soldiers ! the dignity of the Crown and the
honour of your country awaits your triumph.
(Signed) MAISON.

The Journal du Havre says, that a fleet is
daily expected from DON PEDRO, in Europe.

Letters from Constantinople of the 30th ult.
say, that Asiatic troops were continually passing
through the capital to Adrianople.

In another column we have given the mark
of public homage paid to Mr. TENNYSON by
the Corporation of the town of Birmingham, for
his late endeavours in Parliament upon the noto-
rious East Retford Question. The Corporation
wished to give Mr. TENNYSON a public dinner,
which he refused on the very laudable ground
that personal views might be said to have actu-
ated his conduct on that occasion. The lan-
guage of the patriotic gentleman is at once manly
and independent, and reflects additional honour
upon his integrity and public spirit.

The more we reflect on Mr. DAwsoN's
speech at Derry, the more deeply are we im-
pressed with its importance,—not merely on
account of the plain and manly avowal which it
contains, but because, considering Mr. DAw-
soN's situation, it is, we trust, the pledge of
reconciliation with the Catholics. We look upon
it as the auspicious omen of domestic peace—as
the end of that system of misrule by which Ire-
land has been so long troubled. It is in this
view that we consider the present declaration of
those sentiments by Mr. DAWSON as of such
deep consequence, to the country. It is giving,
as it were, the final blow to intolerance. The
weakness of the cause is thus marked in the
strongest manner by the desertion of its
staunchest advocates ; for when we see the dan-
gerous ground thus gradually abandoned, is not
the conclusion irresistible, that it is because it is
no longer tenable ? Justice, reason, policy,
every thing is on the side of the Catholics ; and
what is there on the other side but special plead-
ing, sophistry, and pretended alarms of incom-
prehensible dangers ; while the real danger, the
immediate, the pressing danger, is kept out of
view ? The plain truth is seen at last, and is
breaking down all the barriers of official preju-
dice,—that we cannot govern Ireland by force.
Mr. DAWsoN draws a most forcible and just
picture of the state of this unhappy country, dis-
tracted, as it is, by the heart-burnings of hostile
factions, and now rapidly approaching to some
desperate crisis, in consequence of long-con-
tinued tyranny and wrong. No one can
question the truth of Mr. DAwsoN's de-
scription. It is glaring and palpable to ob-
servation. We see that the Catholic Com-
mittee is gradually encroaching on all the
functions of the Government. It is stepping
in between the KING and people, control-
ling the country by its decrees, levying contri-
butions, and fashioning the whole Catholic com-
munity into the most devoted instruments of
its designs. The supreme authority of the Go-
vernment is set at nought by this new power.
This is a most alarming state of things ; and it
is certain that it cannot long continue. We
would consider Ireland on the verge of some
desperate convulsion, were it not for the tem-
perate views of Ministers on the one hand,
judging of them as we do from Mr. DAWsON's
speech, and the aversion of the Catholics, on the
other, to the use of any other than constitutional
means for attaining their objects. We are san-
guine enough to hope that the good sense and
good temper of the two principals in the con-
troversy will rescue the country from the fury of
irreclaimable intolerance. It is clear from the
aspect of the meeting addressed by Mr. DAW-
sON that it would give pleasure to those Orange-
men to see the Catholics driven into rebellion,
that they might be exposed to the destroying
sword. They are enraged at being checked in
the riot of absolute power—their wish is still to
revel id misrule and oppression—to render the
Catholics desperate, and either to cut them
down in the field, or to hang, draw, and quar-
ter them as rebels. From such a catastrophe
we hope the country will he preserved by the
union of all the wise and the good in the cause
of order and peace.

We observe that Mr. DAWSON has been re-
proached for yielding to fear, what he has de-
nied to reason—for cowering before the Catholics
and lowering his tone as their's has risen. There
is really no meaning in this idle taunt. Any
man, no doubt, incurs ridicule, when he shows
too great a fear for himself—when he is too sen-
sitive to personal danger; but fear for others is
a laudable and a manly feeling. The present
state of Ireland is calculated to fill the mind of
any man who has the faculty of thinking, and
who is not blinded by his furious passions,
with well grounded alarm. Is it wonder-
ful that a wise statesman should pause
when he sees his country on the brink of a dan-
gerous quarrel ; that he should hesitate • before
he plunges into all the misery and wild confusion
of a civil war ; that he should ponder the whole
case, and consider whether there is any other pos-
sible outlet for the country ; and that he should
prefer almost any other alternative to so great a
calamity ? Those feelings are not only natural,
but highly laudable; to such feelings, or such
fears, a wise man must be liable, however fearless
he may be for himself; and they are far from
incompatible with the most perfect courage and
the highest wisdom. That recklessness which
goes on, fearless of consequences when the hap-
piness of others is at stake, is the exclusive inhe-
ritance of weak and blundering minds. We
have no doubt if Great Britain were to go to
war with the Irish Catholics, her military force
would put them down. It is not for fear that

we would not succeed in such an enterprise that
we object to it ; but we object to drive on an,
unjust quarrel to this issue. We do not wish
to succeed in oppressing the Irish Catholics ;
we do not see what good end it would answer,
setting aside its, cruelty and' injustice. We wish
to conciliate them, not for fear, but from policy,
and from an aversion to scenes of intestine dis-
cord, which must take place while we refuse to
do what is just and equal to so large a portion of
our subjects.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELFII o' CLOCK.

The market opened this morning rather flat, with-
out arrivals, reports, or business; after a short time,
it was found that the Bears were rather short of
stock, which added strength and courage to the
Bulls, who boldly bid 87a for Consols, thus esta-
blishing a market; but there has been nothing doing,
excepting making up accounts preparatory to the
settling day, which will be on Thursday next. India
Bonds continue dull at 100 103, we cannot find out
any other reason for their depression than the report
of reducing the rate of interest, which is much
doubted; Exchequer Bills, 72 3 pm.
In Foreign Securities all quotations are nominal,
excepting Brazilian Bonds, which have fallen from
624, the closing price on Saturday, to 61 , upon
the arrival of the ship Friends, Jones, at Guernsey ;
she left 26th June, at which time the Exchange was
304; but as we have announced the arrival of a ship
from Rio of the 28th, with the Exchange at 311,
the intelligence by the former vessel cannot be re-
ceived as fresh information. We have reason still
to believe the report of peace having been concluded,
and that the preliminaries were sent to the Buenos
Ayrean Government by a frigate on the 28th June,
under sealed orders. The next arrival will be im-
portant. Letters add, that there were but few
drawers, all waiting with a full assurance of having
a higher Exchange. A vessel has reached Guern-
sey from the River Plate, having sailed from Monte
Video 29th June ; she brings no news, but the Ex-
change has improved Id., being now 41d per dollar;
the packet now due was to sail about the same time,

The books at Lloyd's Coffee-house have an ac-
count of a melancholy shipwreck, which happened to
the ship Despatch, off Cape Reay, bound from
London to Quebec; she had on board 220 passen-
gers, chiefly emigrants, besides her crew, of which
number the Master and 50 people were lost; the
Mate and 152 were saved, and carried, by his Ma-
jesty's ship Tyne, to Halifax, she was only 187 tons
burthen, and an old vessel. The Agent-to Lloyd's
at Lisbon advises that the Expedition for the reduc-
tion of Madeira and Terceira, was passing the Bar
of Lisbon on the 9th, at six o'clock p.m.

The Share market has received a little animation
by the vessel from Brazil bringing rather more favour-
able news from the Mines. Brazil Shares, 42 4.
Three per Cent. Consols, 87 ; Ditto, for October,
B'7l I; India Bonds, 100 102 pm.; Exchequer Bills, '72
73 pm.

TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols reached 87k, buyers went to sellers. The
nearest price is now 87i. India Bonds are still
lower, and have declined to 98 premium. Ex-
chequer Bills support their price.
On Saturday evening, at Paris, in the political
circles, it was reported, and confidently believed,
that the Russian arms had sustained a reverse before
Shunla. The 3 per Cents. came over 72f. 65c.
A proclamation has been issued by the Com-
mander of the French expedition, to the Morea,
which he states to be in concert with the Allies of
hi 3 Most Christian Majesty.
