LONDON.
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1829.

The French Morning Papers of Wednesday
14e been received. The Messager des Cham-
;'es says, that positive orders have been given
101. the troops of every description at Toulon to
!e ready to embark. The Expedition will sail
two divisions, the first, which will be the
Strongest, on the 15th inst., and the second,
with Which there will be a heavy park of Artillery,
" the 25th. All the heads of the several
1 Partments of the Service are appointed, and
rat activity prevails among the troops. Our
d'3e'vernment are very uneasy at this positive
:nlonstration of energy en the part of the
'relleh, and though their " poverty and not their
101 l consents" to the expedition, we know that
they have made several unsuccessful attempts to
'"duce the French to desist from their purpose.
It will be recollected that some months ago the
French Government collected in great haste the
materials of the present expedition at Toulon,
and as there did not then appear sufficient
motives for carrying their plans into execution
:Against the FRIENDLY remonstrances of England,
the affair was allowed, as the CHANCELLOR says,
0 "stand over,"—but no sooner had the Russians
crossed the Danube than the French Govern-
ment felt, or affected to feel, that their time was
come to act ; and behold the result. Our Go-
vernment deeming it imprudent to quarrel with
the French at a moment of such critical import-
ance to their own existence, have made a
virtue of necessity, and affect with a very ill
grace to have given their approbation to
the French expedition In short, they know
that though this country could go to war, not-
withstanding the enormity of the debt, which is
like a certain personage, constantly painted
blacker than it is—they know and feel that the
measure would not be popular in their hands,
and they therefore blink the question till strong
necessity compels them to speak out hi the
majesty and power of old England. War
at best but a ruinous game, but it is
doubly ruinous when the tide of opportunity
has been suffered, through indecision or incom-
Petency, to slip away. We are no advocates for
War, so long as peace is endurable, and the ho-
liour of the country is not affected by implied
imbecility of conduct in our rulers; but, if a
thing is to be done at all, then we say, let it be
nne quickly, thatwe may not lose the certain ad-
vantages resulting from a promptitude of de-
tlsm 1• Peace is the natural condition of
k'cietY, but when that peace is endanger-
by imbecility of conduct, when a timely
manifestation of our strength could pre-
rve it, then, we say, that that wisdom
comes too late which endeavours to retrieve a
misfortune which it might have prevented.

What is the present posture of affairs ?
"ssia is in full march to grasp her destined prey
to acquire that grand object of her ambition,
the possession of Constantinople and the com-
l'and of the Black Sea. France is preparing to
Pursue her plans of ambition, and Austlia—thitt
Ellture in the last extremity, is arming to pounce
uPon the defenceless. In short, the three
greatest Powers in Europe are in warlike mo-
the, after a slumber of years, during which
Y have healed, or fancy they have healed,
the
wounds of former wars. Their motions
are as yet but as a giant girding on his armour,
0114 when once they have proceeded to action
:Y will draw the rest of Europe into the vortex
°' their commotion.

The Hamburgh Reporter gives the following
P4agraph, which, if true, is important
said, upon the credit of a letter from Constan-
tii,4.e, tkat entrenchments are being thrown up in
iioyleinity of that city, and that a very desperate re-
and
is to be reckoned upon, in case the Russians
1,,,i111:1 attack the Turkish capital. Twenty Austrian
01,,71 are mentioned in the same letter to have lately
W it-"tied firmans to pass through the Bosphorus, on their
Y to Odessa.

We have received this morning the He/
thB-4 Reporter of Tuesday last, which repeats
ci, L
,tumour that the Russians have
recei a
skbefore Sehouinla, from which place thevedy
were
e, 'lllpelled tai retire with loss. There is nothing
on,. .ab ,
t''eute in this, because Schoumla is a
place
of ai„gi,
iost mpregnable strength, and the Russians
may not have been in sufficient force when they
made the attempt. But we must wait fur correct
news. The following are extracts :----

STOCKHOLM, JULY 29.

The harvest is so uncommonly fine, that the farmers in
East Gothland, one of our most fertile provinces, can now
hardly obtain five rim-dollars per ton for rye. Hay is
cheaper than it has been ..ttring the last 20 yeats.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 11.

A firman has been published here against the Greeks, by
which all those who are unmarried (22,000 in number)
are orderetheo be sent to Asia. The cause of this rigorous
measure is the following :—A complaint was made at
Varna that the Greeks in that place had arms concealed to
attack the Turks on the approach of the Russians. Domi7
ciliary visits were immediately made, and when any arms
were found, every body was massacred on the spot. The
Pacjia sent word to Constantinople of this affair, and, not-
withstanding the representations of the principal Turks
that nothing had been found except butchers' knives, in
possession of the Greek butchers, his conduct was
approved, and the above measure ordered. As the
unfortunate Greeks are chiefly dealers in provisions, it
it is no wonder that, under the present circumstances,
even the Turks have felt interested in their fate : in con-
sequence of the intercession made for them, the time al-
lowed for their removal is prolonged from three to fourteen
days. The registering of the general levy in the 150 dis-
tricts of the capital, affords the clearest proof of the aver-
sion of the people to the war : up to this day only fifteen
districts are registered, and the greatest indifference is ge-
nerally manifested. Even the Grand Vizier seems to hesi-
tate about leaving the capital, as he fears the intrigues of
his predecessor, who would then fill his place as Kaimacan.
The troops coming from Asia desert by hundreds and the
Pashas cannot furnish their contingents. The Paella of
Salonichi, who engaged to supply 30,000 men, has hardly
got together 5,000, and the same is the case every
where. In Bosnia obedience is refused, and Servia seems
only to wait for the signal to rise. Even in the camp at
Chounda, whither the Paella of Adrianople is gone,
'with a reinforcement of 12,000 men, great discontent
and want of provisions are said to prevail. Husney Bey
daily sends several Tartars to the Grand Vizier; but, of
course, nothing is known of the nature of his communica-
tions.

EGINA, JUNE 21.
On the 18th the President addressed, from Poros, the
following letters to the Panhellenion :
Our wishes and our hopes continue to he mere and
more accomplished. His Majesty the King of France hag
been pleased to honour our struggle with new proofs of his
Royal interest. Colonel Baron Inohereau de St. Denis,
whom the Journals had already announced as Agent of
his Most Christian Majesty to the Greek Government,
has lately arrived here, and has presented to us
the credentials of the Minister of his Most Christian
Majesty, relative to this purpose, in conformity to the
Treaty of London. Baron St. Denis brings us at the same
time 500,000 francs in ready money. The intention of
his Majesty the King of France is, that this sum
shall be employed in the most advantageosus man-
ner. M. de St. Denis is, therefore, commissioned to
place this sum immediately :n my hands, I shall em-
ploy it for the most urgent wants of the army
and the fleet, and I doubt not that you will approve of
this measure, as the only one upon which the defence of
the country in our present situation depends, and which
may perhaps directly contribute to its deliverance. We
share with you, gentlemen, the feelings which this *infor-
mation will excite in you. Let us thank Divine Provi-
dence for the succour which it sends us, and let us hope
that our national and po-.tical regeneration will manifest
the degree of our gratitude to the Monarchs who confer
on us such abundant benefits."

VIENNA, JULY 26.
During the night of the 20th instant, an English courier
is said to have passed through in the utmost Liaste,;the bearer
of despatches to Lord Heytesbury, recalling him from his
mission to the Russian head-quarters.—Count Capo d'ls•
tria has remitted to the Emperor of Russia's banker in
Malta, obligations :of the government of Greece to the
amount of a million and a half of rubles, which sum his
Majesty had advanced to the assistance of the latter country.

VIENNA, JULY 28.

In the London conferences it has been resolved to carry
the treaty of the 6th of July into full effect ; Sir Pulteney
Malcolm has already received instructions to that effect.

On the 26th ult. the young Duke of Reichstadt, the son
of Napoleon, went through his last examination in every
branch of his studies, to the perfect satisfaction of the Im-
perial Majesties and of his mother, who were present on
the occasion. His grandfather told him after the examina-
tion had been concluded, that within a year he should enter
the army, upon which the young Prince is said to have ex-
claimed :—" Thank God ! Then my fate is fixed !"
Peter I3uffieres, a priest in Limosin, who lived in the
16th century, was celebrated for the singularity of his
sermons. As his parishioners did not pay much attention to
his strange orders, he was extremely indignant, and on one
occasion addressed them—" On the day of judgment, when
the Lord shall require an account of you from me, and
shall say, Father Peter Buffieres, in what situation did
you find your flock ?' I will give no answer. And when
he again asks in what situation have you left your flock ?'
I will not answer. But when he questions me the third
time, then will I say, ' Lord ! as beasts I received them,
and as beasts I render them to you.'"

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 29th ult.
says that the sanitary state of Bucharest has be-
come decidedly worse. No doubt is any longer
entertained that the prevailing sickness is the
real plague of the East, and numerous victims
are daily carried off by it.

The Morning Advertiser re-asserts its former
statements respecting the Brazils in their fullest
extent. It says that Don PEDRO has declared
his irrevocable resolution never to permit Don
MIGUEL to hold the sovereignty of Portugal.
• ‘, In conclusion," it adds, « we shall now state
that the British Government has determined not
to interfere in behalf of Don PErato, and that
the only chance which he has of recovering his
rights, is by returning to Portugal, and asserting
them himself."

A Memorial from the Governors of the So-
ciety for the Relief of Persons imprisoned for Small Debts,
having been lately presented to the Court of Aldermen
against SPENCER, the Keeper of the Debtors' Prison in
Whitecross-street, he has resigned his situation. He was
charged with having induced many plaintiffs to accept a
leas amount than the Governors bad awarded as compo-
sition for their debts, and of having afterwards altered the
receipts, thereby imposing both on the plaintiffs and the
charity.

A Provincial Paper contains the following
startling piece of intelligence, " Confirmation :--On Thurs.
day last, the Lord Bishop of LINCOLN delivered 1,060
persons, 700 of whom were females, at the Cathedral,"

THE HA nvEsT.—Netwithstanding the late
unfavourable weather, the harvest has commenced in this
neighbourhood prosperously. Oats have been cut and
housed in Heaton-Norris, and a field of wheat, early
sown, was commenced shearing on Wednesday. We are
glad to say, also, that the crops are excellent. At Dun-
ham and other parts of the county the harvest is proceed•
ing rapidly.—Stockport Advertiser.

greatest enthusiasm, and addressed them on the necessity
of conducting themselves temperately.—they told his

future the advice of Mr. O'CoNNELL (whose portrait they
bore on a flag) never to quarrel again. His Lordship
approved of thei” good intentions—admonished them to
refrain from the use of spirituous liquors, and to return
quietly to their respective homes, adding that they would
always find in him a friend and a protector. The im-
mense multitude then heartily cheered the noble and po-
pular Earl, and soon after separated in peace,..-Tipperary
