LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 4, 1629.

The French Papers of Wednesday have been
received by express. Their contents are not,
however, important. An article under date
of Odessa gives an estimate of what the
Turkish forces amounted to in May, 1828,
but it is evidently exaggerated, in order, no
doubt, to add to the glory of the Russians by con-
trast. It is idle now to picture what the Turks
ought to have done : they have failed, and that's

enough :

ROME, NOV. 14.

His Holiness will take up his residence on the 17th, i❑
the Vatican, for the winter; he continues to enjoy very
good health. There are reports of several pretty consi-
derable robberies committed in the Palace. Some years
ago such events were extremely rare among us. The
high roads alone were infested by banditti, but here we
could sleep in safety without closing our doors. It is
only within a little time that we hear of so many robbe-
ries in the capital. On the other hand the roads are more
safe, and robberies committed by armed men are more
rare in our neighbourhood.
If we may believe a vague report, the Chevalier Labra-
dor, Spanish Ambassador at our Court, is to go in the
same capacity to Naples. We expect the Count de la
Ferronayes, the French Ambassador.

onrssA, Nov. '7.

Our Journal gives a view of the Turkish force in the
month of May, 1828. The troops trained in the European
manner were 68,000 men ; the Sultan's guards 6,000 ;
the Marine in the Levant 40,000. Some other corps in-
creased the number to 138,000. The whole of the artil-
lery 40,400, and cavalry 196,500. All these troops
formed together au army of 374,900 men, of which
240,400 were in the field against the Russians in May,
1828. In the above estimate are not included the troops
in Asia, the Morea, and the other provinces and islands
of the 'Archipelago.
The Turkish Marine consisted in May, 1828, of 24
ships of the line, 21 frigates, and 40 smaller vessels manned
by 5,200 sailors, apd carrying 2,000 pieces of cannon.
There were eleven others o❑ the stocks. If the Sultan
had made a levy-en-masse, he would hare had an army
of nearly 600,000 men.

Two articles in a German Paper, received this
morning, throw some more light upon the
rebellious policy of the Paella of EGYPT, and
the treaty of Adrianople. It had been all
along suspected that the wily PACIIA would
assert his independence of the PORTE, the first
favourable moment that presented itself for that
purpose, and the late humiliation of the SULTAN

seems to be considered as a fit opportunity for
the PAC HA'S declaring himself. According to
the new reading in the Adrianople article, the
Russians are not to evacuate the Turkish pro-
vinces in Asia for at least eight months after tha
exchange of the ratifications:—

ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 12.

We are still uncertain here respecting the progress of the
operations of the war, but secret wishes are probably en-
tertained that the result may be unfavourable to the Porte,
and that the Sultan may be made very dependent on Rus-
sia, for Mehemet Ali's plans cannot come to maturity till
he has nothing more to fear from the Sultan, and is able
to direct his whole attention to carrying them into effect.
Mehemet's agents, at Constantinople, send him hardly any
letters since the Russians have passed the Balkan, and it is
apprehended that the Porte has thrown some obstacles in
the way of their transmission. The latest accounts from
the theatre of war came to us therefore by way of Trieste :
they leave us no doubt that peace will soon be restored,
but they are very vague, and by no means satisfactory to
the Viceroy. It is reported that important negociat'ons
have taken place in Cairo, and that greater activity has
a:nce been observed in the equipment of men of war, and
the organization of the regular troops. The internal admi-
nistration improves daily, and it is probable that Egypt will
in a few years become much more prosperous and powerful ;
the finances, which could not flourish while the country
was governed as it has hitherto been, are now improving,
and will perhaps soon bear a comparison with those of the
best regulated states. The system of monopoly is to he
done away with as far as possible, and freedom of com-
merce introduced instead. The Government already con-
tracts by public tender for all the requisites for the navy,
and in general invites competition in all supplies for the
army. It is said that the Viceroy intends to make a
journey into the interior of the country, and to choose se-
veral places for the erection of fortresses. It is also said
that a special agent is again to be sent to Constantinople.
Hitherto M. Rosetti has transacted the affairs of the Vice-
roy there.

ADRIANOPLI, OCT. 30.

In the Bth Article of the principal Treaty, signed here
on the 14th, it is stipulated that the Porte shall pay to
Russia, in the space of 18 months ", in instalments, to
be afterwards determined, the sum of 1 millions of
Dutch ducats, as an indemnity for the losses sustained by
Russian subjects and merchants, at various times, since
1806. In a separate, or explanatory Convention, signed
the same day (Art. 2), the payment of that instalment is
fixed as follows .—Tbe Porte pays to Russia, on the ex-
change of the ratification, 100,000 ducats ; six months
afterwards, 400,000 ducats; six months later, 500,000;
and the remaining 500,000 in another six months ; so that
the whole shall be paid in 18 months. The 9th Article of
the principal treaty stipulates that the Porte shall pay for
the expenses of the war a sum to be afterwards fixed. By
Article 3, of the separate convention this indemnity is
fixed at ten millions of ducats, to be paid in such a man-
ner as the Emperor of Russia shall fix, on an appeal of the
Porte to his generosity and magnanimity. In order to
render this payment as easy to the Porte as possible, the
Russian Court agrees to take in part payment an equiva-
lent in such goods as may be agreed upon. With respect
to the evacuation of the Turkish territory by the Russian
troops, it is determined that as soon as the first 100,000
ducats are paid, the article respecting Servia executed,
and Ghiurgevo given up, then and within a month after
the exchange of the ratification, the Russian army shall
evacuate Adrianople, Kirk-kilissa, Lule, I3ourgas, Midia,
Lucada, and other places, which shall be immediately given
up to the authorities appointed by the Porte to receive
them. On the payment of the 400,000 ducats the Russians
shall evacuate in a month the whole country from the Balkan
to the sea and the gulf of Bourgas, retreating over the
Balkan to Bulgaria and Dobroudscha, which countries,
with all their towns and villages, from the Danube to the
Luxine, shall he evacuated on the payment of the next
500,000 ducats ; the last payment to be then made six
months afterwards. Silistria and the principalities to be
held by the Russians till the entire payment of the military
indemnity (ten millions), within two months after which
they too are to be evacuated, and given up to time Turkish
authorities. The evacuation of the Turkish provinces, in
Asia, to begin three months after the exchange of the ra-
tifications, according to a separate convention to be made
between Count Paskewitsh and the Turkish Seraskier in
that country, or that the evacuation shall be completed in
eight months from the exchange of the ratifications.

The Austrian Observer, of the 22d Novem-
ber, contains the following very ominous para-
graph, which seems to square very appositely
with Colonel EVANS'S opinion as to the practi-
cability of an invasion of British India, in his
recent excellent publication upon that interesting
subject. Indeed we think that few persons can now
doubt the ultimate intentions of Russia with re-
spect to our Empire in the East, however mo-
derate, par fin ce, her present professions may
appear :

VIENNA, Nov. 22.

A Russian paper contains an account of the trade be-
tween Russia and Chins, in which is the following
passage :
" Such a good understanding has long prevailed be-
tween Russia and China, that the former Power took
possession a few years ago of a country in Central Asia, as
extensive as France and Holland together. This is the
country inhabited by the King, his Kaissacks, and other
Nomad tribes, who have been induced by skilful negocia-
tions to submit to Russia. Part of these Kirghis were
formerly subject to China, which was probably glad to get
rid of such turbulent subjects, and is not sorry to see them
under Russia, which will be able to keep them in order.
When a line of fortifications shall have been erected in this
country, which is not every where a barren steppe, mili-
tary colonies will be established in it, iron works erected,
and the cavalry that may he necessary furnished with ex-
cellent horses from Central Asia, to purchase which the
English East India Company sent the late Mr. Moorcroft
to Bokhara. It is likely that convenient roads will soon
be made, and Kokand, Samarand, Bokhara, and several
smaller Khantes, may perhaps soon he conquered."
The new Russian frontier is distant about twenty-eight
French leagues from the English pessessions in India.
• According to the the first plan of the treaty, the pay-
ment was to be made in one year in three equal sums of
half a million ; the time was extended to eighteen months
at the request of the Porte.

It is confidently expected that the new mea-
sures of the Bank Directors will prove very
beneficial to the Commercial community : money
will become plentiful, and discounts will be ob-
tained at the rate of two per cent.

ANOTHER ATROCIOUS MURDER.

Flom the Second Edition of the Somersetshire Gazette.

We stop the press to announce the commission of ano-
ther most atrocious murder—the -particulars of which
have just reached us, (Wednesday night,) committed on
the body of a young woman, named Turner, who had been
for some time past engaged in the lace manufactory at Chard.
It appears that on Monday evening, after leaving her
work, she visited an individual of her acquaintance, who
has recently undergone the amputation of a leg.—
She left his residence for the purpose of returning
home about half past eight, since which time she
was not heard of until the following morning, when
her body was found lying in the Ilminster-road, about
half a mile from Chard, in too horribly mangled a state
for the power of language adequately to describe it. The
head was almost severed from the body, by a gash which
must have caused almost instantaneous death ;—a deep
wound, which was inflicted on the breast, passed nearly
through the body, penetrating to the very back, and
as if the blood-thirsty purpose of the monster who
could perpetrate such a crime, was not sufficiently accom-
plished with this, as if he revelled in the blood of his
innocent victim, and could not be satiated even with
her life ; lie severed one of her breasts nearly from her
body, to which it was found attached, merely by
the skin, and hanging down over a velvet spencer
worn by the deceased. Information was given to the pro-
per authorities. Strong suspicions have been excited
against a man who lately assaulted the deceased with a
criminal intention, and for which she had summoned him
before the Bench of Magistrates ; he has been apprehended,
and in his lodgings a handkerchief and a pair of stock-
ings have been found, upon which the marks of blood are
evident. He is therefore sletained in custody until the de-
cision of the Coroner's Inquest shall be known. The de-
ceased was a native of l‘larshalses, Dorset,

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, Twxtra o'CL•cz:

Charleston Papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house to the 28th Sept. ; they
contain the same accounts of the capitulation of the Spa-
niards at Tampico as previously received by the New York
Papers. From the Paper of the 27th October, it is stated
that exertions will be made at the ensuing Session of the
Legislature of Georgia, to abolish the Central Bank lately
established by the State; the establishment is said to have
disappointed the expectations of its friends.
