LONDON.
SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1828.

The• French Journals contain little intelligence
beyond, what we gave yesterday. The Emperor
NICHOLAS, it seems, had been detained at
Odessa to the 4th, in consequence of contrary
winds. Accounts do not agree at what time he
set out for Varna; most probably on the 4th.
The Gazette de France, in a letter from Con-
stantinople, dated August 29th, says that the
GRAND VIZIER took with him to Shumla
reinforcements to the amount of 40,000 men.
The same paper adds, that " the Turks have
taken- the 'firm resolution to fight to the last

extremity."

His Majesty's ship Blossom, Capt. BEECIIY,
has arrived from Chili and Rio de Janeiro, having
sailed from the latter port on the sth Aug.; she
brings-a mail, and has on board one million and
a half of dollars, all for merchants' account, toge-
ther with the Hon. R. GORDON, our Minister
at the Court of Rio de Janeiro, and Mr. C. R.
NUGENT, the Consul-General at Chili, as
passengers. The letters by this' - conveyance
furnish no intelligence of the least importance
with respect to peace ; the exchange on England
was then 31d. per- milrea, being a small advance,
and firm at this rate, the confident expectation
of the war being .likely- to be terminated very
shortly, seeming to be on the increase. The
Redpole packet was very anxiously and hourly
looked for from the River Plate, by which vessel
the Commissioners from Buenos Ayres were to
' take their passage. - The Lord Melville packet
had been appointed to sail on the 9th of August
for England.

By this conveyance we have also received the.
Diario Flunzinense to the sth of August, from
which we extract the following :

MO DE JANEIRO, JULY 28.

The official part of the Diario Fluminense contains the
Emperor's Proclamation to the Portuguese nation, dated
July 25.

AUGUST I.—" His Majesty being informed that in this
province, and in the whole empire, there are monks of
various orders out of their convents, many of them without
licence, his Majesty orders that you make the necessary
enquiries, and send to the office of the Minister of Justice
an accurate account of all the monks in this province out,
of their respective convents, specifying those who have
licences, and from whom, and those who have not, and
that you immediately send them to the convents nearest the
place where they shall be found; and as this measure has
particularly respect to them who are foreigners, you are
scrupulously to inquire for what reason they are come to
Brazil, what has been "their conduct, and whence they have
derived their means of subsistence.

(Signed)
JulY 28, 1828."
Copies of this notice have been sent to the President o
all the provinces of the empire. "
" It having come to the knowledge of the Emperor tha
the ITe-footed Carmelites in this province have in Pot•

the independence of this Empire or that kingdom, they
continue to pay obedience, and by so doing give occasion
to foreigners to exercise authority within the territory of

the empire, which is manifestly contrary to its independ-
ence, prejudicial to its interests, and prohibited by its laws ; •

Monks that tile), are prohibited on every principle from

tinue to reside . in this Empire, they must immediately

the same case by the Benedictine Monks, whose praise-
worthy example the said Carmelites should have already
imitated.

de Janeiro, July 28, 1828."
A similar notice has been sent to the President of the pio-
vince of Para, and to the Vice-President of Maranhao, re-
specting the Franciscan monks residing in those provinces.
(These papers contain the Proclamation of Senhor Val-
dez, late Governor of Madeira, dated 22d June ; they do
not even allude to the relations.)

We have received a Barbadoes Paper of the
Bth August, which mentions that by the
Antigua Papers, received by the mail boat, it
was in contemplation of the Legislature to vote
that 500 guineas be presented to Dr. NUGENT,
the late Judge of the Vice-Admiralty Court, who
it will be recollected lately resigned his seat in
consequence of the Governor, Sir P. Ross,
having suspended all proceedings in the Court,
in the matter of the decree in favour of the
owners of Slaves seized by the Collector of the
Customs, notwithstanding the universal feeling
in favour of the Judge. It is suggested that
such a sum drawn from the Public Treasury of
the Island, in its present exhausted state, is im-
proper.

The Nuremburgh Correspondent to the 19th
inst., received this morning, contains nothing of
any political interest :
CASSEL, AUG. 16.

Several of the Commissioners assembled here to conclude
a commercial convention have lately left this city, in order
to get new instructions from their respective Courts.—.
Though there are many reports respecting the proposals
made by some of the Commissioners to the resolutions
taken in consequence, nothing is, in fact, certainly known.
It seems that the States are of opinion that it is not at pre-
sent expedient to form a third Association in Germany,
which might form a kind of opposition, and do more
harm than good to trade ; thty rather design to come to a
mutual agreement that none of them shall, during a certain
period, or without the assent of the others, join either of
the two Associations already existing (viz. that of Prussia
and some of the North German States, and that of Bavaria,
Wurtemburg, &c.) The real object of the States interested
is to induce all the German States to unite in establish-
ing a uniform system of import and export duties
on the frontiers of Germany, and to take mea-
sures of
,retaliation against ary other which should
refuse to alleviate the oppressive system now exist-
ing. If this is the principal object, we have only to wish
for unanimity ; but some of the states are said to desire that
the subjects of every State, trading in the dominions of
another, should have the same rights as the native subjects
of the State. This, though it may seem desirable, would
not be easily effected on account of the different system of
taxation in the several States.

VIENNA, SEPT. 15.—Metalliques, 951 ; Bank Shares,
098.

We give the following from the Times of this
morning; "if true"—as Jonathan would savingly
observe, it is most momentous information, and
must be the means of bringing the affairs of the
East to an almost immediate crisis. But Eng-
land will surely never tamely witness a blockade
of the Dardanelles—an attempt on the part of
Russia at variance with time spirit of his MA-
JESTY'S last Speech from the Throne. Go-
vernment must decide, and that at once, on the
subject ; to which end the Cabinet Council, as
we understand, was summoned yesterday.

" A slight rumour has been current on 'Change for the
last two days, that the whole Russian naval force now as-
sembling in the Archipelago 1611 proceed to blockade the
Dardanelles. This report has gained more. credit this
evening than it was previously thought to deserve, and is
said to rest on intelligence to that effect received by Go-
vernment. The blockade, in fact, is not improbable; for
cute of an effective kind established in that channel, as-
sisted by that of the Bosphorus, would occasion the most
serious annoyance to the Turkish capital. It is not likely,
on another hand, that the Russian naval reinforcement
lately sent into the Mediterranean was merely detined fur
an idle cruise."

In another part of our Paper we have inserted
a letter from a Correspondent, on the subject of
the Brunswick Club, written in that equable and
temperate strain which is necessarily the adjunct
of truth. The argument at the present moment
is worth . attention, more especially as the most
bare-faced attempts are every where making to
involve the nation in turmoil, -to relume the
embers of bigotry, and, under the sounding name
of " Constitution," to renew all those civil and
religious altercations which disgraced the latter
part of the last century. Another Lord GEORGE
GORDON—an exact model of that Nobleman in
every thing but his intellect—seems likely to
arise in the person of my Lord NEWCASTLE.
Luckily, however, the day is past when such a
phrenzied Aristocrat could be attended to ; the
day of the torture, the stake, and the faggot, is
over—fanaticism, whether in Protestant or Ca-
tholic, is at its last gasp ; High Toryism at a
discount ; and the tears of Lord ELDON as uni-
versally unheeded as the smiles—notwithstanding
their fascination—of Lord ELLENBOROUGH. •

With respect to the Brunswick Clubs, in par-
ticular, it is quite manifest—despite their bluster,
numbers, anti apparent influence, which we will
allow, are somewhat imposing—that they are a
failure. In England, they excite wonder ; in Ire-
land, disgust ; and in both, ridicule. They stand
forth, absurdly prominent, in the very front of
the age, as if they anticipated the assertion of
some future historian that the nineteenth cen-
tury was one eminently characterized by wisdom,
toleration, and liberality. This, of itself, is
fully sufficient to prove that net even the most
miraculous abilities can make a bad cause re-
spectable. The Brunswick Clubs are failures,
though supported by the captivating eloquence
of that sportive logician, his Grace of NEw-
,
