If.S.

have proceeded steadily in his measures of reform and
improvement. The mode which he adopts to carry
his., purposes, and the style of his, proclamations an-
nouncing them, are alike extraordinary to our more
correct and improved tastes ; but we presume that
they are both suited to the habits, manners, and cha-
racter of the Turkish people. The success which has
hitherto attended his measures seems to be a proof
that he has pursued a right course for the enforcement
of his regulations; and if this course has been stained
with some executions and drownings, it appears on the
whole to be attended, subsequently to the destruction
of the Janissaries, with less effusion of human blood
than usually takes place in revolutions in the capitals

of Empires.
By a Proclamation dated the 29th September, the
SULTAN, after describing the general abuses which had
existed from the proceedings of the Janissaries and the
Commissaries of Police, and expatiating on the ne-
cessity of obedience among all classes, appoints a
Chief of Police, charged with the duty of preventing
forestalling, of repressing vagrancy, and compelling the
Rajahs to return within the limits of their condition.
His Highness declares that the glory of religion and
the maintenance of the public peace are the objects to
which his beneficent views are solely directed and he
finishes by an admonition to all good MdS.sulmen to
abstain from all bad actions, particularly from inter-
meddling with the affairs of the Sublime Porte, and
to offer those prayers for his Highness which he is
entitled to from his faithful people.
In other respects the French papers are barren of
political interest, and are chiefly filled with accounts of
the funeral of TALMA, and the honours paid to his
talents at his grave by poets and actors, although the
rites of Christian burial were denied by the unchristian
regulations of the Rontish Church, from the circum-
stances of his being a Protestant and an actor.
We have collected some of these particulars under
the name of TALMA in another column.
(From the Etoile of Monday.)
CoNSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 25.—A1l the late measures
adopted by the Porte, especially the financial ones, indi-
cate the acceptance of the Russian Ultimatum, although
no formal answer by the. Divan is yet known. It is cer-
tain that if not already accepted that it will be.
The English Ambassador, Mr. Stratford Canning, pre-
sented, a few days ago, another note, to prevail on the
Porte to enter into negociations with respect to Greece..
News from the Archipelago mention two combats, in
one of which the Turkish fleet, near Foche, and in the
other, a division of the Egyptian fleet, at Candle, had been
very roughly handled.
SEPT. 26.—Although the Porte has given no official
answer with respect to the ultimatum, and though the
Reis Effendi has given nothing, for some days past, but
evasive verbal declarations to M. Minziacky, no doubt is
entertained of the acceptance of tlse Russian demands; and
it Is generally believed that a Tartar courier, who left this
on the 4211 d for Akermann' was the bearer of instructions,
aud full powers to the Commissioners, to that effect.
These conjectures are founded upon the existing state of
the capital and the Empire.
PARIS, Ocr. 22.—A Courier, who left Vienna on the
15th, in the evening, this day brings the news of the ulti-
matum having been accepted on the 6th, at Akermttnn.
The Russian Plenipotentiaries set out on the 7th, to go to
Odessa. The Journals. des Debats of this day says, ,that
nothing will probably be known in Paris for four or five
days. This is sporting with misfortune. The Coastitu-
tionnel, which is equally well informed, states, that Tiflis
has been taken by the Persians, and that the Russians
have been beaten. How does it happen, that these Jour-
nals do not lose all credit by thus unceasingly giving such
conjectural news?
A German Journal narrates, that intelligence reached
Berlin on the 10th, by express, that General Yermalofi
had gained a complete victory over the Persians, who had
left 8,000 men on the field of battle. We have Berlin
Journals to the 14th, but they say nothing of these news.

Lord BERESFORD, to whom Portugal owes such
lasting obligation for his services in the organization of
her Army, and for the honours to which he led it,
during the Peninsular war, proceeds immediately to
-Lisbon. It is understood that the presence of Lord
BERESFORD has been for some time most anxiously
desired by the Princess Regent, and a solicitation to
his Lordship of so urgent a nature was brought from
her Royal Highness by an officer who came home in
the Sandwich Packet, that he could no 'longer
resist it. His Lordship will, it is said, on his
arrival, assume the command of the Portuguese
army, and it is expected that by his regulations,
and the influence which his name and repu-
tation carries with it, he will speedily place it

again upon a respectable footing, and purge it .of all
those officers who are known to be the creatures 61

the faction which is opposed to the establishment of
the new Constitution. It is supposed that many other
British Officers will also immediately join the Porte-

geese army.
Other reports, however, attribute the object of Lord
BERESFORD'S mission to the arrangement of " some
affairs which yet remain to be adjusted between Brazil
and Portugal, and also to the-pending quarrel between
Buenos Ayres and Brazil. Those reports state that
neither Sir C. STUART ilor Lord PONSONBY had
been invested with full powers : a third Ambassador
herefore became necessary : and it is supposed, that
ion: former intimacy, 14o:di
BEnEsrottn will be an
table negociator with tne emperor PEDRO."
