LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1826.

We received in due course last night the Paris
Papers of Saturday, and the Etoile of Sunday morn-
ing. The latter contains intelligence from Lisbon to
the 4th instant, by which we learn that the PRINCESS
REGENT of PORTUGAL took the oath to the Charter
on the 31st ult., and on the same day issued a Pro-
clamation, declaring that she will remain at the head
of the Government till her niece is of age• The Ga-
zette of the 3d instant, announces the nomination of
a new Ministry, composed as follows :

M. IY.UstaynA-.-Foreign Affair*.
M. GREtios—the Interior.
M. Skt,o.trola D'Ouviraik DAUX.--War.
M. BliAANcAlstr, BUM DE SORRAI.I.--PitariCe•
The EMU(' stales the arrival at Havre, from Hayti,
of tir fiche corvette, bringing a million of piastres,
completing the first instalment
of the. Indemnity for
the St. Domingo Planters, and two Commissioners
from the Government of Hayti.
The same paper also announces that letters from
Jassy of the 20th July state, that the Turkish Com-
missioners were still at that place, and that the opening

of the conferences had been deterred for three weeks.
It likewise mentions that the Captain of an Austrian
vessel, lately arrived at Trieste, reports that the_ last
expedition from Alexandria has brought to IBRAHIM
but very few troops and provisions, which have been
landed at Navarin. The Egyptian Chief was encamped
at Nisi, and was sending large quantities of provisions
to Trip oli zza.
Letters from
_Napoli di Romania say, that the gar-
rison of Missolonghi has given up to the public trea-
sury the arrears of pay which were due to it.
The Constitutionnel and Quotidienne have the fol-
lowing. articles relative to the affairs of Turkey, which
afford some interesting particulars, though not of a
later date than previous advices from Constantinople

(From the Constitutiossnel.)
TURKEY.

CONSTANT/NOME, JULY 11.—A.Police order forbids all ser-
vents and slaves to appear in the streets after sunset. The illu-
mination of the capital.; which, when viewed from Pera, gave to
Constantinople the appearance of a sea of fire, has been put an end
to, because the crowds which assembled to witness the display had
a tendency to augment the ditiorders of the capital.
In spite of the severity of the Government, a plot, concocted by
the soldiers of the new force, which replaced the Janissaries at the
Palaces of the Ambassadors, has been this day discovered. The
object of it was nothing less than the burning of the city. The
criminals were arrested at the house of the Sardinian Ambassador,
and are by this time executed.
The following is the method, it is said, by which the Yamaks,
who occupied the fortresses of the Bosphorus, were got rid of.
Upon the pretext of rewarding them for the fidelity they had
displayed, the Grand Vizier ordered them to quit the fortresses.
They fell into the snare, and the greater part were sent on board
the fleet:of the Capitan, Paths, lying at the entrance of the Dar-
danelles,ln order to be employed in the expedition against Hydra.
Before this embarkation took place, however, all those who had
taken any part in the.late troubles, were executed in the presence
of the Grand Vizier; it is calculated, that out of 4.000 men, of
which the corps consisted, about 1,200 perished on the occasion.
After the departure of the Yamaks, the fortresses were confided
to the Topschis.
The news from the provinces continue favourable, which will,
of course, facilitate the execution of the different reforms, especially
as the capital, which has been stunned with so many events, re-
mains motionless, and offers not the smallest resistance.

(From the Quolidienne.)
The resolution formed by the Sultan to appoint a separate Pacha
for Pera has excited a great sensation among the Franks.
In the firmaun published relative to the suppression of the Janis-
saries, the Sultan expressly says, That, in the organization of
the new troops, his Majesty has principally had in view the future
firm resistance of all foreign influence.'
In the mean time the formation of the disciplined army advances
with rapidity, and, as early as the 29th June, a body of about
500 men, newly organised, traversed Pera, to the great astonish..
ment of the Franks.

We received last night, the Allgemeine Zeitung
and Frankfort Journal, both of the Bth instant.
The, following are extracts :

SMYRNA, July 3.—Ever since the breaking out of .the Revo-
lution at Constantinople, we have been l`ri great alarm on account
of the Janiuiries, who, on the receipt of the order from the
capital, did indeed give up their kettles and badges to the Path',
but positively refused to lay down their arms. Several Onstas
have declared, that if orders to disarm them should come, they
will not only resist them, but will unite with the Janissaries at
Aleppo and Damascus, amounting to nearly fifty thousand men,
who are reported to have directly resisted the execution of the
commends of the Sultan for the introduction- of European disci-
pline. The number of Janissaries here is front ten to twelve
thousand men and it cannot be denied that we are chiefly inillelsted
for the maintenance of tranquillity hitherto to the presence of the
French, English, Austrian, and Sardinian squadrons..

Jut.•r 30.—'The probably accidental meeting at
the Baths of Ems, of Count Capp d'lstria and the Russian Coun-
sellor of State Von Stourdxa,. has revived the conjecture that that
Statesman may perhaps be again employed in the Russian Admi-
nistration; though his ill health seems to disqualify him from
active employment.

Bylaw, Aug. 3.—The Duke of Anholt Bernburg has adopted
the Prussian Tariff.

The widow of Schiller, 'who went some time since to Bonn, to
undergo an operatiOn for the cataract, war seized with an apoplec-
tic fit during the operation, which proved fatal.

Letters to the sth ult. reached London yesterday
from Smyrna. His Majesty's ship Revenge, bearing
the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir a NEALE, was then
lying there. The Rose slqop had sailed a fortnight
before for the Siloto passage, to protect the trade from
pirates, and his Majesty's ship Cambrian sailed on the
4th for the purpose of searching the Islands for British
property.

The order of the Turkish Govern►nent for the abo-
lition of the corps of Janissaries bad, according to
these accounts, been enforced at Smyrna without
difficulty.
This latter intelligence is, howeler, completely at
variance with that contained i►► the German papers of
only two days prior date.

By the sanie opportunity letters were received from
Constantinople to the 11th ult. It is stated with some
confidence, that the Porte has taken serious offence at
the assistance given by English individuals to the
Greeks ; and that papers of a disagreeable nature have
been sent to our Ambassador. One of the letters con-
cludes in' these words :--:" The Porte will liken to no
representations or explanations of the English Ambas-
sador ; you may expect to hear shortly of his recall."
We have no means of judging of the correctness of
,this information, beyond the fact of its having been
received in letters direct from Constantinople.

Hamburgh Papers of the 12th inst. have reached us
this forenoon. They contain the Manifesto issued by
the Emperor of RUSSIA on the 29th ult., on the ter-
mination of the proceedings against 'the conspirators,
which we subjoin; but 'its great length and the late-
neis of the hour prevent 'our making any comments
Hon it :---

WARSAW, AUGUST 3,

On thei2Bth of last month, died here, at the age of 74
years, his Highness, Prince Zajinzek, Viceroy of the
kingdom IA Poland. The confidence of the Emperor
Alexander, and of the present Emperor, Nicholas, is the
most unequivocal proof of his merit. The day of the death
of this excellent, Prince will ha a 'day of mourning for
every Pole.

HANOVER, AUGUST 8.
His Royal Highness the Governor-General set out to-
day for Derneberg, and is expected bark in few clays.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge is gone
to New Strelitz, to spend some weeks with her-sister, the
Grand Duchess of MecklenbLttg Strelitz.
ST. PETERSBURG, JULY 29.
Imperial Manifesto Nicholas, &c.
The'lligh Criminal Court created in consequence of
the manifesto of June 13, to try the conspirators, has per-

formed the task assigned to it.""The sentence passed, by
it, in conformity with the existing laws, but, mitigated by
us, as far as the claims of justice and the safety of the
empire permitted us, have been published, and carried
into effect. In this manner an affair has been terminated,
which we have always considered as the affair of all Rus-
sia. The criminals have received their merited punish-
ment—the country is freed from the contagious disease
which had been so long spreading in secret. When we
again have our eyes on these deplorable events, we shall
find, that we have one duty more to perform. On
the spot where seven months ago the breaking out of
a sudden rebellion at once recalled to us the horrible secret
of an evil which had already sixteen years growth, a lest
act of commemoration, an atoning sacrifice, must consecrate
the memory of the Russian blood shed there in the cause
of religion, of the Sovereign, and the country ; solemn
thanksgivings must be offered to the Almighty. We have
acknowledged his hand, when it tore the veil that covered
this detestable mystery. We have acknowledged that he
suffered the crime to arm itself, and thus prepared its de-
struction.
The rebellion, like a sudden tempest, seemed
to have broken out only .to destroy the conspiraay of
which it was the first overt act. This conspiracy was
not in the character or in the manner of the Russian
Aryition. Contrived by a handful of criminals, it had no
accomplices but a small number of men, who were in con-
stant intercourse with them, of corrupt hearts and unbridled
passions ; and in spite of wicked and persevering exertions
for ten years, it could not proceed in extending any far-
ther. The heart of Russia has been, and always will be,
inaccessible to suctratteinpts. The Russian name does
not disgrace itself by treachery to the throne and the
country. We have on the contrary received on this oc-
casion the most affecting proofs of unbounded devotion.
We have seen fathers arm themselves with inexor-
able severity . against their criminal children, the
nearest relations give up the wretches suspected of
being accomplices; in a word, all classes of our subjects,
inspired with the same feelings, unanimously demand the
sentence and punishment of the guilty. The conspirators,
however, though confined to a narrow sphere, had been
active; the wound was deep and dangerous, because it
was concealed. When we consider that the chief object
of the conspirators, their first purpose, was invariably the
assassination of Alexander the Blessed, we are filled with
indignation end sorrow. Other considerations occupiedand
embarrassed the attention; other cares inspired well founded
apprehensions; amidst indisputable investigations, innocence
was to be respected, to be preserved from useless suspicion
and humiliation. But Providence who was pleased at the mo-
ment of our accession to the Throne, to surround us with,
cares and difficulties, gave us also courage and strength to
complete the work which it imposed on us. After 5 months
labours the Committee of Inquiry, by its zeal, its perse-
verance, and impartiality,and by the use of persuasion, suc-
ceeded in moving the hearts of the most hardened crimi-
nals, in exciting their remorse, and inducing them to volun- ,
tary and sincere confession. The High Court of Justiee
which embraced this great trial in the whole extent of its
political importance, its character, and its ramifications,
has brought it to the legal termination. Thus, thanks
to thi unanimous accord of all good and faithful Rue-
sians, ir scourge has soon vanished, which in another
state of social manners . ,would have made a long
resistance. The melancholy events which disturbed
the internal peace of Russia, are paned, and as
we trust, in the divine mercy, passed forever. According
to the inscrutable decrees of the Almighty, who makes
good to proceed from evil, theie very events may contri-
bute to the public good. May parents now devote all their
attention to the moral education of their children. It is
not to the progress of civilization, but to vanity, which is
more fatal than indolence, to want of knowledge, that we.
must ascribe those unbridled thoughts, those violent pas-
sions, that confused and fatal half-knowledge, that propen-
sity to extravagant theories and reveries, whichi begin in
demoralization and end in ruin.

In vain are all the efforts, all the sacrifices of the Government, I
unless domestic education supports its views► and sows the: seeds of.,
morality in the heart. Here, as in everything else, the nobility,
the bulwark of the throne and of the national honour, must set
the example. All the care which it employs in the improvement
-of a national education consecrated to Russia, and given, in its
bosom, will be acknowledged with equal satisfaction and gratitude.'
In our country all the roads to honour and the service of the state
are open to the, nobility. The administration of justice, the army,
the branches of internal government, all require able and active
officers ; may, therefore, all classes of citizens give the Government
the same confidence. In our Empire, where love to the Sovereign
and fidelity to the Throne are hereditary qualities in the people,
where a rigorous administration is united with truly national laws,
all the efforts of the wicked will he absurd and unavailing. They
may en►elope themselves in darkness, but when they come into
the light they are crushed by the laws, and the general indigna-
tion of the people. In such an organization of the state, every
,one may depend upon the stability of order, the security of pro-
perty and persona, and without fear for the present, look with
hope to the future. It is not by rash and destructive enterprises,
but gradually, that real ameliorations are made, defects supplied,
and abuses remedied. In this progressive improvement
every wise wish for amelioration, every thought tending to con-
solidate the laws, to spread true knowledge, and to develope in-
dustry, which comes to us through the legal ways which are open
to all, will always be used by us with gratitude; for we have
no other wish, and can have no other, than to see our
country attain the highest degree of prosperity and glory
to which providence has destined it. Lastly, in the midst
of this our ardent wish, which all our subjects share, and in the
hope that it will be fulfilled, our particular care is again turned to
those unhappy families whom guilt ham depri►ed of some of their
members. During the whole course of these proceedings we
have participated in their affliction, and we now hasten to
assure them, that, in our eyes, the bonds of family transmit
the glory of their ancestors to their descendants, but net
the infamy of a single criminal. Whoever should venture to draw
from its ground of reproach, would violate the laws of the State,
and still more the doctrines of the religion of Christ:

NICHOLAS.

We have received a letter from an Officer at Rio de
Janeiro, dated the fith of June, from which the follow-
ing is an extract :

All is bustle and confusion here, as accounts reached this place
yesterday that the new Admiral of the Brazilian navy had taken
command of the aquadron before Monte Video, and bad com-
menced a strict blockade. Commodore Brown is now under the
forts : their force amounts to 20 sail of pendants. Rumours are
afloat that Bolivar has threatened the Brazilian Government, that
if the blockade is not taken off, he will march his whole force
towards this place. Trade is dull, and what there is of it is chiefly
carried on by the French, as they undersell us in every thing.
We sail to-morrow morning for Valparaiso, where the Cam-
bridge now is. The Thetis frigate sails in the course of ten days
for Buenos Ayres, with Lord Ponsonby.

We alluded in our Paper of yesterday to the'pr,oba-
bility of an interruption to that intercourse which has
lately subsisted between our West India Islands and
the ships of the United States, in consequence of the
Government of that Republic having refused to admit
into its ports British ships coming from British Colo-
nies, on the same terms, and by paying the same duties,

went, which every principle of justice atiti.commer-
cial intercourse .required, we must, of coinie, expect
that it will follow up its proceedings by prohibiting
the importation of produce from our Colonies in.Britisir
bottoms on any conditions. We do not understand
that any specific Order in Council will be immediately
issued on this subject, as has been reported; the
measures adopted following rather as a matter of
course, from the non-fulfilment of the arrangement on
the part of America, than as a matter of retaliation on
the part of this country. We trust, however, that the
United States will see that it will be no less wise on
their part, than advantageous to our Colonies, to come
to an arrangement for establishing an intercourse
which, must be beneficial to both.

In a paper. of Sunday there appeared * most lumi-
nous and liberal article, in which a variety of miscella-
neous remarks are imparted io the public, .with se
obvious idea that they will be the means of completely
knocking on the head the whole church establishment.
We will just glance over one or two of these tapient
argon-lents, in order that our readers maybe de-
prived of the advantages which the knowledge of them
may convey.
The writer commences with an able and well-draw°
parallel between Dr. OwEN, Rector of St. Olive,
Hart-street, and JUDAS. The latter sold the Re-
deemer for 30 pieces of silver, and it is intimated that
the former receives somewhat more than this, but it is
not very distinctly specified whom lie betrays in con'
sideration of it. It is stated that he bullies his vasuP
,And insults his parishioners with a jest. To say nothing,*
of the admirable similarity of this conduct with the °`
the traitor Disciple, we must own we can see nothing
in the Doctor's conduct at the vestry, which can'
properly speaking, be called bullying, unless it he MS
asserting his right to the chair, a right which we he. -
heve is not contested. Bullying implies superiority,
and abuse of that superiority : but in the present esse,
so far from the Doctbr having any superiority Or power
of bullying, it is evident that he is maintaining so
arduous, and what perhaps may be a fruitless stniggle.
however, the more serious charge is, that the Door
is heartless, avaricious. and makes a traffic of religion.
Now, without the least intention of defending 1)_r•
OWEN'S proceedings, we must say we wish to see ts°
play, and do not like to hear any one accused uujustlP

can be ; he contends, with some little violence, Jim

and that

his performance of his clerical duties is not only

which we must advert, viz. that "he estirato 119
duties by the sums they produce." Now; nothing_
can be more unfortunate than this expression, nothing

The attacks upon Dr. OwEN, are, however,
as would not excite much surprize, considering t':,
way in which that Divine has been so often biotic
before the public; but in the subsequent part ni t•
paragraph reflections are made upon - a most
guished clerical character, which are of a different conl,i
plexion, and exhibit nothing but a spirit of deloralinhe'
and malignant hostility against the Church' he
Bishop of CHIEsTER is happily selected by the W...

as the object of his attack ; and, if the Church et'
afford no better ground for the calumnies of its his

Prelate, we may well congratulate its friends. 14C'
the accusation against the Bishop is twofold : ist' 7;
tolerance, and 2dly, Avarice ; he is intolerant, be
not,
he opposes what he considers (whether justly or
