BRUSSELS PAPERS.

VI EN N S VT. 21.--The Austrian Observer gives
letters from Corfu of the Ist and 9th September,
which announce the return of the Lord High Com-
missioner (Sir F. Adam) from Zante, whither he
had been to have a conference with the three Ad-
mirals, whose squadrons at Navarin are stated to
consist of twenty-eight men-of-war. Admiral
Codrington, on his return from Alexandria to Na-
varin, had despatched the Dryad frigate to Patras,
where Ibrahim Pacha then was, to deliver to him a

LONDON.
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1828.

The conduct of Government respecting the

Blockade of the Dardanelles has been as dis-
ingenuous to the mercantile interests of this
country as pusillanimous towards the Russian
Emperor. Lord ABERDEEN, in his official
notification to Lloyd'S, says that he is de-
sirous (If making the communication with
the least possible delay for the information
of all whom it may concern. Now what will
the commercial interests of this great but injured
country say when we inform them that
his MAJESTY'S Government were in pos-
session of this very information nearly a
fortnight ! Yes, they knew twelve days ago
that it was the intention of the Emperor of
RUSSIA to blockade the Dardanelles—and
last Saturday—such was the urgency of

the matter, the Russian Ambassador had
received a communication from the Em-
PEROR that the blockade had actually
taken place, for that the Russian fleet had re-
ceived orders to proceed at once to the Darda-
nelles, where it would be joined by the squadron
of Admiral RtconD, which had lately been
supplied with provisions and warlike stores in an
English Port ! That same squadron which we
were told was going to relieve Count HEYD EN'S
fleet. Yes, we repeat it, the Government of Eng-
land were in possession of this portentous infor-
mation nearly a fortnight, and yet, my Lord,
ABERDEEN tells the Chairman of LLOYD'S that
he makes the communication with the least
possible delay. In the mean time what
was his Lordship about ?--what was the
Duke of WELLINGTON about ? in short, what
was the Blockhead Administration about all this
time, while the property of our merchants was
proceeding to be captured by the blockading fleet
of Russia—for the opinion of his MAJESTY'S
Government will not protect our vessels from
attempt to force

Here is a plain statement which we know
correct—and which the Government must feel to
: their shame to be correct—let them answer
for their culpable conduct in delaying the infor-
mation to the Committee at LLoYes, and
through them to the Commercial interests of
th nation at large.

The French Papers contain no positive news
from the Russian or Turkish armies, farther
than what has already transpired,—nor do the
Brussels Papers furnish any. The arrival of
French troops in the Morea has greatly incensed

the SULTAN, who has invited all the Mussul-
mans to arm and take part in the sacred rvar
which now threatens the Ottoman Empire. The
conduct of the French in making war,•is said to
be in defiance of Treaties, and without any
cause. The Paella of EGYPT too, seems to
have incurred the most signal anger of the

SULTAN, by his having acceded to the °vacua
tion of the Morea.

Such is the state of public excitement in the
City that ten guineas per cent. to return 1001.
y tear between this Country and Russia did
not take place on or before the 31st of December,
was offered and refused. What will the Duke
of WELLINGTON say to this

It is more than two months ago since we
hazarded an opinion, that in consequence of the
policy pursued by our Government, England
would be dragged into the contest, and that there
would be a General War in Europe before
Christmas. We may have been mistaken, but
the signs of the times seem to bear us out in the
present state of the political horizon, where

" Coming events cast their shadows before."

We have given so much in another part of
our Paper from Ireland, that we have not
room for comment. The Dublin Evening Mail
of Wednesday says, in a Second Edition, that
his Excellency the Marquis of ANGLESEY
has just issued a Proclamation, calling upon
the Magistrates of the County Tipperary to
prevent meetings of the people similar to those
which recently took place in that County;
and threatening those who transgress after
this notice, with having the law most rigorously
put in force against them. Proclaiming martial
law would have been a more efficacious measure.
The Proclamation shall appear in a Third
Edition."

German Papers of the 25th and 26th ult.
repeat the rumour that Shumla has been taken
by assault, after a third attack ; but though this
news had been received at Vienna, from the
theatre of war, through various channels, it was
not confidently believed. The arrival of the
EMPEROR with reinforcements at Varna and
Shumla was expected to produce something
decisive :

VIENNA, SEPT. 20.
We have no accurate accounts from the theatre of war.
It is, indeed, affirmed, that Shumla, after three assaults,
has been taken by the Russians, but this intelligence,
which is generally spread, and has been received through
various channels, needs confirmation. The arrival of the
Emperor at the army, to which he brings large reinforce
meats, certainly authorises a conjecture that a decisive
blow is about to be struck. Persons who are acquainted
with the country assert, that no other alternative is left to
the Russians but to pass the Balkan, and get into secure
winter quarters in the fertile province of Roumelia, or else
to winter in the Principalities; because, when the rainy
season commences, which it usually does in October in
Bulgaria, it is not possible to take up permanent quarters
there, as that unfruitful and exhausted country cannot
afford subsistence for an army, and the arrival of supplies
cannot be depended upon at that season.
Wallachia is already heavily burdened by the supply of
provisions to the Russians, and the disposition of the in-
habitants, which was at the beginning favourable to them,
has been already changed.
Some obscurity still hangs over the events that took
place before Varna on the 21st August. It seems certain
that the blockade of that fortress was raised for a time,
but that the Russians were enabled, on receiving reinforce-
ments, to resume offensive operations, and occupy their
former positions.

The conquests of Hidden, Gliuirgehe, Routschuck, and
Silistria, will probably alford the Russians suffi-
cient employment for the winter. These places have
in them small armies rather than garrisons, which seem
not to be intended so much for the defence of those for-
tresses, as for making incursions and laying waste the
neighbouring country. As long as the Russians are not
:hie to assemble 30 or 40,000 men before one of these for--
tresses, they can have little hope of making themselves mas-
ters of it.

BUCHAREST, SEPT. 16.

Up to to-day no more reinforcements have arrived, but
we are more easy, as the Turks have left the neighbourhood
of Crajowa.

CRAJOWA, SEPT. S.

We have recovered from our fright, and the inhabitants
are beginning to return to the town. The Turks retreated
the way they came, laying waste the country. From Sla-
tina reinforcements have arrived at Czoroy, where the
Russians are making a fortified camp.

Honduras Gazettes to the 27th July have
been received at the North and South American
Coffee-house ; they confirm the intelligence that
the Treaty of Peace concluded between the
Guatemala and San Salvador party in Central
America had been refused to be ratified by the
latter, and it is now supposed the spirit of ani-
mosity which has distinguished this party con-
flict will rage with much greater violence than
ever. Colonel PERKS, who commanded the
forces of Guatemala, and who, by an edict sub-
joined to the late Treaty between that State and
Sam Salvador, has been banished, arrived at
Belize on Monday evening last. Under date,
Guatemala, 26th June, the Colonel entered into
an address to the Supreme Court of Justice, on
the subject of the charges which occasioned the
prosecution which has been instituted against
him by the War Auditor, of having broken
open a sealed despatch, addressed by the As-
sembly to that of San Salvador, and he states the
same to be characterized by subterfuge, low cun-
ning, and base intrigue ; that the proceedings of
the Court-Martial are without principle or equity,
and no proof had been adduced to fix the charge
upon him.

The Courier of Smyrna says that the Aus-
trians continue in high favour in that place—and
that, in conjunction with the English, they have
supplied the Egyptians with subsistence since the
battle of Navarin. It adds, that the Turks do
not complain of the English, who have a secret
agent at Constantinople, and another in Greece,
In the person of Mr. CARTWRIGHT, a gentle-
man of the old school of politics, highly inimical
to the Russians. The appointment of this gen-
tleman is considered as sufficiently indicative of
the intentions of the English Cabinet :

SMYRNA, SEPT. 1.
1 The Austrians continue to be in high favour here—
their flag covers the seas. It is in concert with the English
and the Commission formed at Zaate that they have sup-
plied the Egyptians with subsistence since the battle of
Navarin ; and thuse would fall into a strange mistake who
should imagine that Ibrahim's army consists only of walk-
ing skeletons. Provisions have cost high prices, but all
have been regularly paid for by the Pacha of Egypt, who,
notwithstanding this, has not failed to pay his annual con-
tribution to the Sultan.

It appears that the Turks will soon:make known the Powers
whom they consider their enemies. Hitherto they do not

complain of the English, who have a secret agent at Con-
stantinople. They have just sent to the President of
Greece Mr. John Cartwright, a man of distinguished
talents and thoroughly acquainted with the Levant, where
be has been employed for 35 years. Mr. Cartwright is
of the old English school, highly inimical to the Russians.
Such a choice, therefore, sufficiently indicates the inten-
tions of the British Cabinet, and it is not doubtful that it
will be attended with some consequences.
Admiral de Rigny continues to enjoy high reputation in
the Levant. There are about 90 French men-of.war in
our seas, which is a little more than half as many inure as
the number of the French merchantmen.

The latest accouuts from Syra say, that the Ambassa-
dors of the three Powers, parties to the treaty of 6th
July, were expected to meet at Spezzia at the end of July.
The Hydriats continue to be on bad terms with the Presi-
dent, Capo d'lstria, whom they persist in refusing into
their town, because he is a native of Corfu. Time will
perhaps remove this prejudice.

At a late hour this afternoon we received St.
Petersburgh Papers to the 17th of September,
the Prussian State Gazette to the 28th, and
Dutch Papers to the 2d inst., but they furnish
no news from the theatre of war. The ac-
counts from Odessa are dated the 10th of Sept.,
at which time no tidings had been received from
Varna, or of the Emperor's arrival at that place :

ST. PETERSSURGH, SEPT. 16.

His Majesty the Emperor having been pleased to autho-
rize for ten years the foreign trade of Kamtschatka, the
Council of the Empire has fixed several regulations for the
execution of this Imperial order. Among these are
1. The importation of all foreign goods into Kampt-
schatka is permitted free of duty, with the exception of
tea, rum, brandy, and other spirituous liquors.
2. The exportation of all goods is likewise permitted
duty free, with the exception of Russian coia of every de-
scription and Bank notes.

ODESSA, SEPT. 10.

Two Sardinian vessels have arrived here, and four others,
three Austrian and one Sardinian, have sailed for Constan-
tinople, in ballast.

UTRECHT, SEPT. 2S.

His Majesty 'e visit to the camp attracted a vast con-
course of spectators, who were extremely pleased to see
his Majesty on horseback for the first time, after a very
long interval, and apparently in perfect health.

It is reported in the city, that a French Mes-
senger has arrived with despatches to the French
Ambassador, announcing that the PORTE has
declared war against France, in consequence of
the French expedition to the Morea. Should
this prove correct, it is the very thing which
NICHOLAS wants. Indeed, we should not be
surprised if there is a secret understanding sub-
sisting between the French and Russian Govern-
ments respecting • the affairs of the East. The
recent conduct of the Russians in blockading the
Dardanelles, seems to give strong countenance to
the business.

Consols have been alternately buyers and sellers,
at 861. The latter is the present quotation.
The price of Wheat is this day again 2s. per quar-
ter higher. Fine Dantzic Wheat, under lock, has
been sold at 845., which, with the duty of 265. Bd.
(for the duty is to-day one shilling higher, so much
for the wisdom of our Corn Laws) is 106 s. Bd. per

A report exists that the Messenger who arrived at
the French Minister's last night, in such haste, was
to inform him that the Turks have declared war
against France.

severe illness, JANE, youngest daughter of WILLIAM YOUNG
KNIGHT, Esq. of Great Marlborough-street.
A short time ago as the " Union Coach"
was leaving Holborn, up comes a puray old citiren, puffing
and blowing like a grampus. On mistaking the " Union"
for the " Royal Patriot" Brighton coach, which is fitted
with Lieut. Coox's "Patent Life Preserver" for prevent-
ing accidents from the running away of horses,---he begins
with a " Pray, coachman, is this here the Patriotic Life
Preserver Coach ?"—q Yes, Sir," says Ptcxxxr, not
hearing above half of his passenger's question, " room be-
hind, Sir,—jump up, if you please : very late this morn-
ing." " Why, where's the machinery," cries the old one.
—" There, Sir," replied a passenger, pointing to a heavy
trunk that was swung underneath, "in that box, sir,
that's where the machinery works." " Aha !" quoth the
old man, climbing up quite satisfied, " wonderful inven-
tionso eo we shall all get safe to Brighton—
naccident by this coach !"—Sporting Meg.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of most descriptions of-Grain this week are
good, with a fair quantity of Flour. There is not much
doing in the Wheat trade to-day, bat so little fine is on the
market that for such Monday's prices have been rather ex-
ceeded. In Barley and Pease no alteration. For Beans
more money is demanded. The Oat trade is not brisk,
having plenty to meet the present limited demand, and
prices are therefore unaltered. Most of the millers call
the top price of Flour 80s. per sack.
