lIAMBURGH PAPERS.

ANCONA, MAY 7.—We learn from various quarters
that purchases of rum, corn, and other articles re-
quisite for the supply of a fleet, are making in the
Mediteranean ports, for account of English houses,
from which it is inferred that the English naval
force in the Mediterranean will be reinforced. The
English here are of opinion that the blockade of the
Dardanelles will be shortly put an end to, as the in-
tewled object is not attained, as the intercourse of
all nations with the Levant is much- impeded by it,
and the interest of England requires that this state
of things shall not continue. They therefore think
it probable, that the Russian Government will at
least consent to the re-establishment of the free in-
tercourse with Constantinople, to prevent the many
disputes that may arise from the continuation of the
blockade; and the more so, as the commerce of the
linssian provinces of the Black Sea is wholly
suspended by the loss of the only channel for the ex-
portation of their produce. They affirm that pro-
posals have been made from London to the Cabinet
of St. Petersburgh to induce the Emperor to limit
the operations of the' squadron in the same manner
as on its first appearance in the Mediterranean.

The State- Gazelle declares there is no truth in
the report that the Prussian Government has pur-
chased the library of Ibrailow, taken by the Russians.
SToctillot.3l, MAY B.—The King has ordered
that 30 new gun-boats, that have been built at
Carlscrona•' shall come to Stockholm as soon as the
season will allow.

COPF:NTIAGEN, MAY 16.—The salute of the for-
tress of Kronenburg, to which all ships passing the
Sound were obliged, when they sailed by the for-
tress, by striking some of their sails, was often at-
tended with great difficulties when the weather was
unfavourable. The King has therefore ordered that
all merchantmen, Danish and foreign, shall henceforth
be dispensed from it.
NANOVER, MAY 13.—At the instance of his
Royal Highness the Governor-General, a Com-
mittee has been formed to collect subscriptions for
the relief of the sufferers by the late inundations in
Prussia.

JASSY, MAY I.—The new Grand Vizier has ad-
vanced to the vicinity of Varna, but the reinforce-
ments received by General Roth within the last
three weeks are estimated at 30,000 men. Before
the 13th inst., Count Diebitsch will have his head-
quarters at Bazardjik; the Turkish Spahis, however,
already show themselves in small parties in different
parts of Bulgaria, so that the troops march in strong
columns, and the convoys of provisions are sent
tinder strong escort. In Little Wallachia some light
Turkish corps show themselves faom time to time.
Achmed, Pacha of Widdin, is said to have 30,000
men under his command.

GENOA, MAY 3.—Their Majesties the King and

LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE.—AS an indi-
vidual named F. I. B. LA NNIGAN, was passing along
Cheapside on the evening of the 27th of last month,
slightly under the influence of spirits, two men, as he sup-
posed in a lark, ran against him, and shoved him off the
pavement, opposite Bow-church. He fell, and in the fall
his right ancle went forcibly in contact with the curb-
stone. which occasioned dislocation of the tibia ami frac-
ture of the fibula, at their inferior extremities, He was
taken up, but not by the regardless ruffians, who com-
mitted the offence, and conveyed to St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, where he was put under the care of Mr. EARLE.
The dislocation was reduced, and the limb put up in
splints. In a very few nights afterwards, by the spasmodic
action of the muscles, the displacement was again effected,
and the end of the tibia driven through the integuments,
causing thereby a compound dislocation. From the seri-
ous nature of the accident, and the very unfavourable con-
dition of the patient's constitution, Mr. EARLE was now
induced to propose amputation of the leg, but in opposition
to the most strenuous remonstrances the patient refused
to submit to the operation. The other surgeons of the
hospital concurred in the propriety of Mr. EARLE'S re-
commendation ; still the unfortunate man said nay. Every
attempt was therefore made to save the limb, as well as the
patient. On this day week, however, it was announced
to him that the only chance of preserving life was in the
removal of the leg ; lie then consented. On Saturday the
~peratioa was performed at a short distance below the
knee ; but unfortunately the vital powers were by this
time too much reduced ; hospital gangrene supervened on
Monday, and on Wednesday morning the pt,or man ex-
pired, notwithstanding every possible attention. He had
once been a merchant of respectability, but was latterly
unfortunate in trade. He than became a tutor in private
families, being a mail of literary acquirements. As too
frequently happen!, werldiy misfortunes increased his de-sire

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, MAY 23, 1829.

At a late hour this afternoon we received the
Prussian. State Gazette of the 20th of May,
from which we extract the following :

ODESSA, MAY 2.—Our Journal contains several ac-
counts from the theatre of war, (but coinciding with those
which we have already communicated), and confirms the
arrival of the head .quarters at Gallacz.
In the last week twenty-five ships hirer] by the Govern-
ment, bare arrived from the Turkish ports occupied by
our troops.

BERLIN, 2kIAY 19.—The Grand manoeuvres of the
corps assembled near Potsdam, have commenced to-day.
M. Fenessy, an English Cibinet Messenger, has ar-
arrived here from London, on his way to Warsaw.
EXCHANGE ON LONDON. —Three months, 6 23k.

The Hamburgh Correspondent of the 20th
inst. and other Hamburgh Papers have been re-
ceived last night and this morning. If we may
credit the contents of an article under date of
Constantinople, the Russians, instead of cap-
turing Erzeroum, have been repulsed with severe
loss in a movement upon Trebizond. The
Russians attempted a landing with 4,000 men
near Trebizond, but were compelled to re-embark
with the loss of several transports and many
men. A hope is entertained by the Turks that
the Persians will make common cause with them
when they learn that the forces of the SULTAN
are so numerous as to bold out expectations of

ultimate success.
The Turks admit that the Russians maintain
their possession of Sizeboli with great bravery,
notwithstanding the repeated attempts of Hus-
SEIN PACHA to dislodge them. The SULTAN
is, however, resolved upon reinforcing his army in
that quarter, for we learn that the troops arriv-
ing from Asia are ordered to the Coast of the
Black Sea ; it is even said that the SULTAN
himself intends removing his head quarters, with
the standard of the Prophet, to }Carabournon,
and every thing betokens that the war will be re-
sumed with determined valour at several points
at the same moment. The new GRAND
VIZIER advanced about the beginning of May
towards the vicinity of Varna, but General ROTYI
had lately received reinforcements in that quarter
to the amount of 30,000 men, so that the
VIZIER would require to act with circumspec-
tion :

CONSTANTIKOPLE, APRIL 2a.—The Sultan will in a
few days remove his bead-quarters (with the standard of
the Prophet) from Ramis Tchiflik to Karabournon.
Numerous troops have marched to that place since the
Seraskier has inspected the fortifications. Troops con-
tinue to arrive from Asia, and these too proceed towards
the coast of the Black Sea. Part of the regular infantry
and cavalry that was here is gone to Incada.

Since the 12th inst. several attacks have been made
upon Sizeboli, in which Hussein Paella and his troops
have indeed shown great courage, but without being able
to overcome the brave resistance of the Russian garrison.
On the other hand the Russians have failed in an attack
on illisivria, and are said to have sustained considerable
loss. They appear disposed to employ their whole force
in the defence of Sizeboli.

All the accounts from Erzerourr continue to be satis-
facory with respect to the engagements on that frontier
with the troops of General Paskewitsch. A Russian
corps of four thousand men attempted a landing near
Trebizond, but was compelled to re-embark with great
loss after an obstinate engagement ; several transports were
captured on this occasion. These several actions, and the
increase of the Turkish forces, may have a great influence
on the resolutions of the Court of Teheran. No further
accounts have been received of the popular commotion' in
Persia, but the Mussulinen seem to regard a bre;ch with
Russia as inevitable. It is certainly known that the
Kourds, the Circassian', and the Lasians are in arms, and
the Khans of Tartary have declared their readiness to fight
against the infidels.
The personal appearance of the Sultan in public places,
when the purchase of provisions caused disorders, has had
very beneficial effects, and will prevent all future dis-
turbances. By his express orders to protect the bakers
from ill usage, and prevent all excesses, the bread is now
publicly distributed in the churches, the mosques, and
synagogues. First, the Illussulmen and the It :jabs of all
sects were registered, and now receive daily two leaves at
40 drau per head.
On the 11th a smart shock of an earthquake was felt,
which did considerable damage at Enos, Kavalla, and
Adrianople.

Brussels Papers, of the 22d instant, announce
that the King of the NETHERLANDS has pro-
rogued the States General on the 20th. The
Minister of the Interior officiated for his MA-
JEST Y. He repaired in the usual form to the
Assembly of the tw•o Chambers of the States
General, and ha'ing taken his place in an arm
chair at the foot of the Throne, delivered the fol,

lowing speech in the national language, and in
French :

" HIGH AND MIGRTY LORDS,

" The projects of law which the King had thought pro-
per to present this year to your High Mightinesses, having
been successively examined, I come this day to this As-
sembly, by his Majt sty's orders, to close this Session.
" I execute this commission by declaring, in the name
of the King, that the ordinary Session of the States
General, for 1829, is closed."

In our columns of to-day will be found an
account of the presentation of the different
prizes at the London University, together with
the brief but pertinent and feeling address of
the Marquis of LANSDOWNE to the pupils.
It gives us great pleasure to witness the vi-
gorous strides which this noble Institution
is daily making towards maturity. Already
it has outlived the whispers of calumny, which
so industriously sought to oppose its pro-
gress ; and by the manifest utility of its cha-
racter has falsified the malevolent prognostica-
tions of the desponding, the distrustful, and
the prejudiced. In a few yeas we shall
find it taking a foremost place among the
literary and scientific Institutions of the na-
tion, and running, no doubt, a generous race
of competition with the King's College. May
both prosper ! This is our sincere and earnest
wish, but if there must be a spirit of rivalry
between them, may they be rivals only in their
endeavours to benefit their country !

The St. Petersburgh Gazette of the 10th of
May, announces that the Emperor of RUSSIA,
the Empress, and the young Prince ALEXAN-
DER, the heir apparent, set out for Warsaw on
the 6th inst. The Coronation of the Emperor,
as King of Poland, is to be extremely splendid.
It would appear from the following article,
that the progress of the Russians in Asia is not
likely to be so rapid or successful as during the
last campaign. The Turks have collected a
much larger force than was expected :

ST. PETERS/WIWI", MAY 9.—The Tiflis Gazette o
March 28 (April 9), contains the following article.—
" Achmet Pacha, as we learn from the accounts of his
flight, stopped with the remainder of his scattered army
till the 10th (22d) of March, on this side of the Adshur
mountains, hut returned beyond them on that day. The
auxiliary troops, which were to join him, hove stopped
at Ardantolsh. The military preparations of the Turks
continue, and every thing indicates that they intend to
oppose a large force to us in the ensuing campaign. The
victory gained by Major-General Hesse in the province of
Ghutia has made an extremely favourable impression en
the inhabitants, and the present conduct of these people is
worthy of the greatest praise. A short time ago some of
their Princes brought to the Russian authorities sealed in-
flamtnatory letters which they had received from the
Princess Sophia, their late Regent, now residing in Turkey,
but which they did not open. On the frontier the
Natugaians, remembering their oath, gave notice of the
intention of some predatory hordes to make an incursion
iota our territory. This timely warning enabled our
troops to repulse the enemy.
The Emperor and Empress, with their eldest son,
Prince Alexander, and the Grand Duke Michael, left this
City on the 6th in the evening for Zarskojeselo, and set
out the following morning for Warsaw.

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 14th May
contains the following:—

GENOA, MAY 12.—Their Majesties having resolved to
visit their august relation at Naples, embarked and put to
sea to-day at half-past six in the afternoon. The division
of the Royal Navy fitted out for the purpose, consists of
the Maria Teresa, the Ben)ldo, and the Euridice frigates,
and is commanded by Rear-Admiral the Chevalier de
Castel Vecchio. His Majesty has provided for everything
during his short absence.

It is rumoured that the Citizens are determined

to resist giving any account of their receipts or
of their disbursements to the House of Lords.

The only thing worthy of notice in the French
Papers is tile death of the Queen of SPAIN.
We think FBRDINAND ought to try his hand
