Tile French Papers of Sunday and Monday, a
aroburgh Mail,
and Lisbon Journals, have ar-
rived' Their contents are inserted under our
head of FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, and the
tartieles relating_ to Russia and Turkey will be
"ncl of a decidedly warlike character. All the
letters
received at Paris from the North and from
Turkey concur in representing the immediate ro-
4bilitp
I,rat Y of war; and the articles from Antwerp,
)k
-
r°rt, and other German towns, are confirma-
r3 °f the hostile disposition of the Turks, and
e republication of the Hatti-Scheriff by the
GRA,.
ma '4 SIGNIOR, calling upon all true Mussel-
" to fly to arms. Military preparations to a

large extent are carrying on at Constantinople,
and the accounts even go so far as to say that the
Standard of the Prophet is to be raised on the
Mosque of St. Sophia, a measure .which is never
resorted to except when the Empire is threatened
with immediate and formidable attacks, and is

in imminent danger..

The indications of approaching- war between

Russia and Turkey arc multiplied daily.

The

Journal de Paris asserts that commercial letters
from the North now speak of war as almost inevi-
table; and a Frankfort article states that letters
had been received at Vienna from Constantino-
ple, announcing that the Standard of Mahomet
had been hoisted on the Mosque at St. Sophia.
If so, war is inevitable indeed, or rather it has
already commenced. There is also a rumour,
which, however, we rather wish than believe to
be true, that Persia has declared war against
Turkey, and that hostilities have actually com-
menced. A Persian war would be almoSt ,as fa-
vourable to the Greeks as a Russian campaign,
by distracting the attention and dividing the
force of the Ottoman Empire, while at the same
time the independence of Greece would be bet-
ter secured, and afford less ground of jealousy
and distrust to, the Courts of Europe, if achieved
without any further aid from Russia than is now
afforded by the position of her armies, and the
doubtful policy of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh.
It is really disgraceful that the British public view
the' struggles of this interesting and oppressed
people with so much apathy. Dr. LEMPRIERE
has indeed opened'a subscription, by paying over
ten pounds, with his respectable name, to a
banking--house, for the formation of a fund to be
applied in aid of the Greeks; but we have not
heard that his generous and praiseworthy example
has been followed. The Doctor is perhaps not
aware that it is indispensable to the success of a
measure of this kind to hold a public meeting, or
at least to form a Committee for receiving and
appropriating the subscriptions. If one or both
of these steps were promoted by a public-spirited
individual, we still think that public opinion
would be strongly manifested in favour of that
oppressed and heroic people, to whom the civi-
lized world is so much indebted. We wish
that Dr. LEMPRIERE would either call a public
meeting, or request some of his friends to form
themselves ili.o a Committee, and to take the
necessary public steps for giving effect to his
laudable intentions. There never has been, and
perhaps never will be again, an occasion on which
British liberality could exert itself with more
benefit to mankind or honour to itself. We
have too many subscriptions, the sole pur-
pose of which is to gratify vindictive feelings.
Mr. WunrtAnAm, for example, frankly avows
that he has given twenty pounds to Sir ROBERT
VILSON, " not so much with the view of indem-
nifying the gallant General for the pecuniary
loss that he has sustained, as to join with others
in expressing my decided indignation at the iniqui-
tous proceedings of the Governinent."—This is
giving money, whatever may be its intended ap-
plication, from a motive which we think Mr.
WILBRAHAM himself will on reflection perceive
to be unworthy of him. We are sure that the
British Public are disposed to yield to better
feelings, and to combine for the attainment of
higher and nobler purposes. The voice of an
oppressed Christian people has surely not
ascended to Heaven in vain. Let us, by an
effort worthy of a great and free people, extend
our succour to them in the hour of their extre-
mity ; and let our motives be, not so much those
of indignation at the iniquities and atrocities of
the oppressors, as of generous sympathy with,
and commiseration for, the oppressed.

American Papers arrived this morning, to the
30th Sept., and Montreal to the 23d Sept.
[From the New York Advertiser of the 27th Sept]
MEXICO.—We yesterday announced that an
Armistice for three months had been entered into

by the Pi'riot and Royal troops in Mexico; we
find, however, on perusing the translation of the
document, furnished by the Havannah Noticiose
Mercuric! of the Bth Sept., that on the 17th of
July a suspension of hostilities between the
Royal troops in Vera Cruz, and thoSe of the Pa-
triots besieging the place, subject to the approval
or rejection of the Geheral-in-Chief of the Inde-
pendents, had alone taken place, and that no
period for its continuance or termination, is stated

in the article ; in fact, it seems to depend on the
will of the Patriot leader. An armistice for
three months may, no doubt, have followed as a
consequence of this suspension of arms at Vera
Cruz, but the Journal we have quoted makes no
men lion of this event.

[From the New:York Gazette of. Sept. 284 .
BOARD OF HEALTH, SEPT. 27.—There have been reported
to the Board of Health, by the Resident Physician, two cases
of malignant fever. The Board also state, that two persons
who were taken sick were sent down to the Marine Hospital ;
both had worked on board the ship Maria, lying at quarantine,
a sickly vessel, from which four persons had died at the Marine
Hospital.

LAW CHANGES.-Mr. Baron GRAHAM and Mr.
Baron WOOD have retired. We have not yet
authentically heard who are to succeed them.

Advices from Lisbon state that the congratu-
latory address of the Portuguese residents in
London to the Cortes was presented at the Sit-
ting of that Assembly of the 11 th of October.
The address was received with every mark of
distinction, and the President moved 44 that it
should be printed in The Diario do Goverizo, in
order to render manifest to the whole of Europe,
the harmony existing among the great Portuguese
families in every part of the world." lie also
moved that it should at the,same time be noticed,
that none of the Members of the Legation in
London had signed the address.

FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER.
[FROM ACKERMANN'S REPOSITORY OF ARTS, FASHIONS,
&C. &C.]
PROMENADE DRESS.—A pelisse, composed of dark violet-
coloured velvet ; the body is tight to the shape, rather long in
the waist, and a good deal sloped at each side of the back. The
sleeve is an easy width; it is terminated by a French cuff; the
pelisse wraps across in front, and is trimmed with satin of th,e
same colour. A cachemire shawl is thrown over the shoulders,
and fastened at the throat with a brooch. Lace ruff made very
Head-dress, a bonnet composed of violet-coloured velvet,
and lined with white satin. A very full plume of violet-co-
loured ostrich feathers is placed on one side of the crown : boots
of violet kid ; Limerick gloves ; ermine muff:
EVENING I)RESS.—A round dress, composed of blond net
over a White figured satin slip. The corsage. is cut square round
the bust, and is ornamented with a wreath of Provence roses.
The sleeves, which are very short and full; are of blond over
white satin ; the fulness partially conceals the roses which form
it into draperies. The bottom of the skirt is finished by a wreath
of Provence roses placed near the edge. This is surmounted by
a trimming of the same material as the dress : it is in folds; they
are edged with white satin, and form cavities, placed 'at some
distance from each other ; a bouquet of roses is put in every ca-
vity. A coral wreath is placed rather far bade. Net lace and
ear-rings pearl. White kid gloves and. white satin slippers.

[FROM LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE.]
FRENCH WALKING DRESS.—Round dress of light willow
green sarsnet, with .two flounces next the hem; above which
are four tucks surmounted by a double flounce. The dress is
made partially high, pelerine caps. Bonnet of white chip, or-
namented with clover and gauze ribbons. Cachemire shawl of
raspberry red, variegated border. Kidd half boots, the colour
of plumb blossom. White gloves.
ENGLISH CARRIAGE DRESS.--:-This is an exceedingly be-
coming carriage-dress. The pelisse is composed of a Cachemire
of very rich appearance and effect,. the colour of which is a
fine cream colour. The trimming is of foliage of great beauty
and simplicity, disposed with the most charming effect ; its
colour is that of Ceylon ruby ; the material of which it is com-
posed is a very rich and elegant satin. The course followed
by the foliage trimming is first down the sides of the pelisse,
and thence round the border. The cape of this imposing dress
is made double,' and is of the description generally understood
by the term curricle cape; it is also finished with a very
handsome trimming of foliage, and has an elegant display
of Hungarian military buttons, which are set at equal
distances from each other. The whole of this singularly
superb dress is finished in a most tasteful manner by a falling
cape-collar, of the same colour as the trimming already men-
tioned,•viz. that of the Ceylon ruby, and its material, a Genoa
velvet of great brilliancy and richness. The bonnets most gene-
rally worn with this carriage-pelisse are of various fashion, as
may be deemed most becoming to the varying circumstances
of age, figure, height, and all those nice distinctions which the
eye of taste will catch, but which can scarcely he described.
The tout-ensemble of the effect of this carriage-costume is light,
elegant, and tasteful, while it displays a richnes of general
effect, and well calculated to assist the complexion.

The Dowager Marchioness of Londonderry, it is expected,
will quit Mou;)t Stewart, Newton Ards, near Dublin, for the
express purpose of passing the rest of her days in this country.

On Monday morning her Royal Highness the
Duchess of KENT, the Princesses Vic.roalA and

FEODORE, attended by the Baroness de SPAEDT,
Mademoiselle L EVZ AR, and Captain CONROY,
left Bognor, on her Royal highness's return to
the King's Palace at Kensington.
RAMSGATE, 30.—Some expectations are
formed that our gracious SOVEREIGN will again
honour this town with his presence very soon, by
landing at our pier on his return from Hanover;
although this event may depend on various cir-
cumstances besides wind and weather, yet there
is some foundation for the probability of his MA-
J EST Y'S intending to disembark here, as we know'
from good authority that a squadron of the 9th
Lancers, and a detachment of the 86th 'Foot,
have received orders to be at this place on Wed-
nesday, the 7th of November, being part of the
same regiments who had the honour of escorting
and receiving his MAJESTY at the time of his
embarkation. The Venus steam vessel being
sent to Calais to receive the KING'S luggage,
and the Royal yacht being ordered to the
Downs, confirm the idea of his MAJESTY'S land-
ing at Ramsgate.
The exterior of the King's Palace, in Pall-
mall, has undergone repairs previous to his MA-
JESTY'S return to England. It has been new I
painted, &c. The Palace-yard has been new
paved and gravelled. Yesterday, BENJAMIN
CHARLES STEPH ENSON, Esq. the Surveyor Gene-
ral of his MAJESTY'S Works and Public Build-
ings, and the Right Honourable CHARLES LONG,
the Chairman of the Committee for the Inspec-
tion of 'National Monuments, attended on the
Parade in St. James's Park, and gave directions.
for the spot where the celebrated French Bomb
is to be placed, which is between the west side
of the wall of the CHANcEr.Lon of the EXCHE.•
QuEit's garden and the Canal.

During the autumn a considerable imprcve-
ment has been made in HYDE PARK, near the
Chesterfield Gate. The flat part there, which
was so low as to be often overflowed, and was
somewhat unwholesome to the neighbourhood, has
been raised by a thick stratum of brick-rubbish,
now pretty well covered with mould. The new
ground is, however, too extensive to be turfed,
and it may be long before there is a good sod
upon it.

A resolution was moved by Lord SUFFIELD,
and unanimously agreed to by the Magistrates
at the Norwich late sessions, recommending that
workmen's wages should be paid not later in the
week than Friday, with a view to the better ob-
servance of the Sabbath, and to enable the poor
to make their purchases without its violation.
