EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have just received the Paris Journals of
Tuesday. The following are extracts :
(From the Massager des Chanibres, Aug. 24.)
SECOND EDITION.

BUCHAREST, Aus. 4.—(From the Augsburg
Ga:etfe.)—A Courier from the Army arrived here
yesterday, since then a report is spread that the Sul-
tan having learned that the Russian army was at
the gates of Adrianople had fled to Asia, because
the temper of the population of the capital became
more dangerous every hour. Since the arrival of
this Courier hopes of peace are generally entertain-
ed; and, it is thought, the Porte will accept the
terms that Russia thinks fit to impose on it.
Te Deum was performed on the 2d for.the taking
of lidos, Bourgas, and Messembria.
PARts, AUG. 25.—An Extraordinary Courier has
just brought to Paris news and letters from Con-
stantinople, dated the 7th of August. The battle
of Kirk-kilissa was not known, but the despatches
of the Paellas, who have retreated to Adrianople,
excited fears for the safety of that city. It was
known that the taking of Erzeroum was owing to an
internal commotion raised by the Janissaries. It was
said the Russians had also entered Trebisond.
(From the Gazette de France.)

PARIS, AUG. 25.—Letters from St. Petersburg!),
dated Aug. 11, received by express, announce that
the City of Trebisond has sent a Deputation to Ge-
neral Paskewitch to announce that it was ready to
open its gates to him.

The Excavator dredging vessel (with its
steam-engine) is now constantly at work in Lake Loth-
ing, near Lowestoft, in Norfolk, and it sometimes actually
brings up in its iron buckets pieces of forest trees from its
bottom ! but such is its powerful operation, that notwith-
standing this occasional obitruction, they get up gravel
and silt at the rite of 2,300 tons per week !--Boston Gar.

A celebrated opium-eater, of the name of
MousTArnA SHATYR, lately died at Smyrna from the
gradual effects of the opium which he had acquired the
habit of swallowing every day. Whilst under the influ-
ence of the drug, the expression of his face was particu-
larly animated, and all his faculties seemed to be in a state
of exaltation. He was about 40 years of age when he
died, but be had the appearance of a much older man.
His complexion was always of a deadly hue, his body had
become emaciated and decrepit, and most of his teeth bad
fallen out. The quantity of opium he took every day
amounted to three drams. Latterly he could not rise from
his bed without first stimulating his frame with a dose of
about half a dram.

Monday evening last witnessed a most dis-
graceful exhibition in our town—we allude to the circum-
stance of four boys, of from 12 to 11 years of age, running
through the public streets entirely naked in broad daylight.
The custom, we believe, has existed fur a great length of
time, on the evening of " Eland Tide ;" and this annual
scene, which savours more of a barbarous period than this
enlightened age, is dignified by the cognomen of " Halifax
races." We are acquainted. with those who were instru-
mental in " keeping up," as they call it, " the old custom,"
out we spare them for the present. Let them look to it,
for, if a repetition of such conduct comes within our know-
ledge, we promise them we will not spare the lash. When
the " racers" passed our office, two of them appeared to be
almost exhausted, and it was altogether a scene derogatory
to humanity, injurious to morals, and disgusting to those
who witnessed it.—Halifax Chronicle.
POWER OF CORONERS TO COMPEL SUR-
GEONS TO ATTEND.-An inquest was held yesterday be-
fore Mr. Mccs, Deputy Coroner for Westminster, on the
body of JOHN Evsxs, aged 76 yells, who dropped
down with a sudden attack of illness, and expired five
minutes after. No sufficient evidence being given as to
the cause of his death, the Jury requesteel Mr. WALKER,
the surgeon's assistant, who had seen the deceased at the
time he died, might be sent for. Mr. WALKER. refused
either to attend or allow his assistant to do so unless his
fre was paid. It appeared, however, that the Coroner
had power to enforce medical men to give evidence in such
cases, and the assistant ultimately complied, apologizing
for his delaying to do so on the plea that it was not his
fault. His evidence merely went to show the man was
dead when he was called in, and a verdict " Vied by
1 the visitation of God" was returned.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1829.

The French Papers of Tuesday, received this
morning by express, say that it was reported the
SULTAN, having learned that the Russians were at
the gates of Adrianople, had fled to Asia in order to
avoid the danger which was hourly increasing
from the turbulent temper of the populace. An
extraordinary express has brought to Paris news
from Constantinople, dated the 7th of August,
at which time the battle of Kirk-kilissa was not
known, but little doubt was entertained about the
safety of Adrianople, which the PACIIAS were
on the point of leaving to its fate. The fall of
Erzeroum is attributed to a commotion of the
hnissaries,—and the prophecy that the fall of
the Turkish Empire in Europe was on the point
of being realized, was firmly believed at Con-
stantinople. The Russians must feel obliged to
the fatality of the Faithful for this timely reading of
the prophecies. Hopes of peace are now enter-
tained in certain quarters, but if the Russians
agree to it, we think they will have made a poor
use of their victories. They should first take
Constantinople and then talk of peace.

We have advices from Gibraltar to the 7th
inst. Many of the Spanish refugees there daily
received permission to return home. Among
these was Colonel ORDONNEZ, Commandant-
General of the Camp of St. Rock in 1823, and
Governor of Tarifa, and M. VARCAItCEL,
Aide-de-Camp to RIEGO. Business was com-
pletely destroyed at Gibraltar, and the inhabit-
ants were daily emigrating, so that the town was
nearly deserted, and was fast becoming merely a
military station.

Papers from the Cape of Good Hope have
been received this morning to the 18th June.—
Two hundred and twenty-five shares of the new
College, to be established at Cape Town, had
been subscribed for.

It appears by the address of the Judge, at the
openi►►g of the Circuit Cowl, that crime was o►►
the increase. The weather had been extremely
cold, and the mountains in the distance were
covered xith s►►ow.

Lisbon Papers of the 14th Of August have
been received. The only news they contain is
the following description of what the Miguelites
intend to do at Terceira, which, according to
these accounts, is strictly blockaded :

OPORTO, AUG. .s.—The Divino Imperador schooner,
which arrived at Lisbon on the 30th of July, in 16 days
from St. Michael's, brings word that the blockade of Ter-
ceira was continued with great strictness. The Don
John VI. was at St. Michael's, to take on board the
troops destined to attack Terceira, which was blockaded
in the mean time by the other vessels. Assurances had
been received from the faithful inhabitants, that as soon as
his Majesty's forces should appear, all would be finished,
the island would submit, and the traitors would not be able
to escape, as they greatly desired to do, in consequence
of a proclamation dated June 17, on board the Don
Jo!:n VI., and posted up in the island on the 24th, in
whirls the inhabitants were called upon to submit, assuring
them that the rebels were disunited among themselves, as
appeared from their letters for England, intercepted on
board the Ocean, Capt. Daniel. Lastly, they are invited
to deserve his Majesty's pardon, by preventing the flight of
the rebel leaders. This proclamation is dated on board
the Don John VI., and signed by Jose Joaquim Rosa
Coelho, Commander-in-Chief.

The following arc extracts from Brussels
Papers of yesterday's date. They merely relate
to the progress of the Empress of BRAZIL to the
coast for embarkation :
BK,ussELs, Ace. 22.—His Majesty has been pleased to
make a very extensive promotion in the army.
Auc. 23.—Her Majesty the Empress of Brazil having
received a courier from Ostend, was to leave Ghent, to-day.
Auc. 25.—Since the Empress of Brazil hai been at
Ghent, the Marquis de Rezende has had the honour to
present to her several persons of distinction, both of Brazil

and Pot tugal. Her Majesty received them with her usua 1
affability. To the Conde de Sampayo, she said, "I am
happy to see the descendant of a Minister who is justly.
celebrated for the eminent services which he rendered to
Portugal and Brazil, and who has himself in the course 'Cif
a long career given the most honourable proofs of his
loyalty to the house of Braganza, and his attachment to the
country." The Conde de Sampayo, who is eighty-four
years of age, was deeply aff:Tted by her Majesty's bind ex-
pressions. Her Majesty passed through Bruges, on the
23d, without stopping, on her way to Ostend.
Yesterday, the 21th, being his M jcsty's birth-day, was
celebrated with the u'ual solemnities, and the universal
joy with which the return of this slay is always welcomed,
was checked only by the bad weather, which spoiled the
illuminations, and prevented the intended display of &e-
-1 works.

The Hamburg Reporter of the 21st August,
and the On respondent of the 22d, have been
received this morning. According to accounts
from Odessa, General WITT, commanding the
reserve of 80,000 men belonging to the Grand
Army, had arrived there on the •2d of August,
and fixed his head-quarters in that city. Direct
accounts from the army of General DlEBurscH
were received at Bucharest on the 7th inst.,
stating that the light troops were within two
hours' march of Adrianople, but the date was not
given. It must, however, have been about the
end of July or first of August. The accounts
from Constantinople of the Ist August confirm
the bombardment of Trebizond by the Rus-
sian fleet, and subsequent accounts say
that the Governor of that fortress had sent
the keys of the place to the Russians, who
soon after entered and took possession of it.—
The fall of Sinope will be the next conquest of
the Russians in Asia, after which they may pro-
ceed to Scutari, and so cut off all communica-
tion between Constantinople and Asia. But
long before then the fate of the capital will be
decided by General DIEBITscu and the Russian
fleet
ODESSA, AUG. 2.—General Witt, who commands the
reserve of 80,000 men belonging to the grand army in the
field, has arrived here, where be has his head-cputrters.
BUCIfAREST, Ave. 7.—By way of Silistria, we have
received direct accounts from the army of Count Diebitsch,
according to which the light troops were already within
two hours' march of Adrianople. We therefore expect
shortly very important intelligence.
-

Ty arusu FRONTIERS, Auc. B.—At Widdin the Turks
have spread the unauthenticated news, that the Pacha of
Adrianople and Hussein Paella united had had a most
sanguinary battle with the Russians near Bourgas, in
which the latter• sustained considerable loss. As
the Pacha of Scutari is on the point of commencing ope-
rations against Gen. Geismar, it is conjectured that he cir-
culates such reports in order to encourage his Albanians.—
Gen. Geismar is gone from Krajova to his entrench( d camp
at Sadovan, in order to begin his operations with vigour.
CoNsTAtmliortE, Auc. I.—Since the 26th ult. one
piece of bad news has followed another. The Paella of
Sinope has sent word that Trebisond is half destroyed by a
bombardment by the Russian fleet, and will hardly be able
to defend itself. On this side of the Balkan, however,
measures are taken to make the most rigorous resistance.
The Pacha of Adrianople, who has 12,000 men, is gone
towards Bourgas to join Hussein Patn.
STOCKHOLM, A uc. I I.—His Majesty has sent a message
to the Diet, in which he announces that in compliance with
the wish intimated by the Diet, he has resolved on he co-
ronation of her Majesty the Queen, and fixed the 21st for
the ceremony.
It is supposed that the Status will vote to-morrow the
sum necessary for the expenses of the Coronation.

COPHNIIAEN, AuG. 15.—1 n the middle of last week
the Russian frigate Elizabeth, after having lain at anchor
here for some time, sailed to the north. She is bound to
Rhodes, but will touch at Portsmouth on her way. At
St. Petersburgh, 20 Danish, 30 British, and eight French
vessels have been chartered by the Russian Government.

HAMBURG, Auci. 21.-13OASEN HALLE, FOUR F.M.
--WHEAT.-Little has been brought to market during the
week. Some purchases were made for exportation, but
only of the best and heaviest samples.
RYE was heavy, our own consumers buying only at re-
duced prices, in expectation of new corn, of which a few
loads have already been brought in. •
From the 9th to the 14th inclusive, 68 cargoes of corn
passed through the Sound ; 17 bound to British, 2.5 to
Dutch, five to French, 13 to Swedish anti Norwegian

The depression of our Stock Ma! ket has been consider-
ably aggravated by unfavourable intelligence received yes-
terday and to-day, from London and Amsterdam. The
prices in London, on the 15th, were yesterday brought, by
express, and occasioned a fall of to per cent., which
has been followed to-day by an additional fail of 1 per cent.

Sales of stock have been almost exclusively for cash, or
at very short dates. Money is extremely scarce, discount
being at 5?, per cent., and expected to rise yet still higher.
Several orders for silver, that are in the course of being
executed, are said to have been suspended in consequence of
the apprehension of the exporters.
Expresses, with the English prices of the 15th, were
sent off to Berlin yesterday, whence unfavourable accounts
are expected, in consequence, by Monday's post.

Br the Corn returns, published this morning,
Wheat remains at a duty of 20s. Bd. per quarter
for foreign, but the duty on. foreign Barley has
lowered ls. 6d. per quarter, being now 13s. 10d.
None of the other duties on foreign Grain hare
varied from our returns of last week.

he Nuremburg Correspondent of the 19th
inst. throws some doubt on the battle reported
to have been fought at Kirk-kilissa, from the cir-
cumstance that no accounts have been received
through the usual channels of communication of
such an event. The head-quarters of General
DIEBITSCII were still at Aidos on the 30th of
July, but the divisions of Generals RUDIGER and
ROTHght have marched in advance to a con-
siderabletr
distance, which we think will prove to
be the fact, when the next accounts arrive from
the theatre of war :

NUREMBURG, AuG. B.—The Afanich Gazette as-
nounces, as from an authentic source that must have been
received at Vienna en the 12th instant, a decisive battle
fought at the end of July, between General Diebitsch and
the Turks, at Kirk-Kilissa, 38 leagues from Constantino-
ple. The Allgemeine Zeitung also gives this news as
having been received on the 12th, by the Russian Lega-
tion at Vienna, and on the 15th at Munich. It is strange
that the Vienna letters and journals of the:l4th, received
to-day, and the Prussian State Gazette, of the 15th,
mention not a word of a battle at Kirk-Kilissa. On the
contrary, it appears from the account from Warsaw, given
by the State Gazette, that the head quarters of Count
Diebietsch were on July BO still at Aidos, 43 leagues
from Kirk-Kilissa. This obscurity must be cleared up in
a few days.
(The Austrian Observer to the 17th August inclusive,
and the Prussian Slate Gazette to the 21st inclusive,

have no account of any operations of the army of General
Diebitsch, subsequent to the bulletin dated Aides, July
24. The latter has an extract from the Journal of St.
tersburgh of the 11th inst., which contains some ad-
ditional particulars to the bulletin of the 12th (22d) July,
which bulletin gave an account of the taking of Messem-
beria, Achiolas, and Bourgas, and was dated from Aides,
where the head-quarters still were on the 18th (30th) July.

We have this morning received the following
from our intelligent Correspondent at Paris,
whose opinions so perfectly coincide with our
own, that we forbear making any comments upon
his very interesting and impartial communiea-

;ion :

PARIS, AUG. 21.

A variety of conjectures have been hazarded
by the Parisian Papers, ,as to the person to be
entrusted with the porte:feuille of the Marine
and the Colonies, in place of M. de Rigny. The
Ministerial prints, however, appear to be equally
at fault with their opponents. So late as last
night, it was announced in the official journal
that a messenger had been dispatched to M. de
Vitrolles, with the offer of the office which has
thus gone a begging ; but in the Quotidienne
and the Gazette of this morning the announce-
ment is contradicted, with the addition that the
day is not far distant when the vacancy will be
supplied. The day indeed was not far distant,
for the appointment has already taken place, al-
though it has not yet appeared in any of the
daily papers. The new Minister of Marine is
the Baron d'Haussicz, a member of the Chain-
ber
of Deputies, whose place during the last
Session was, I believe, on the right centre.
The liberal papers yesterday, have intimated
the arrival in Paris of M. de Chateaubriand, and
of the resignation of his embassy to the Pope.
Both statements arc as yet at. icipations only—
The Viscount has not yet arrived, but is certainly
on his way, and his resignation seems not to be
seriously doubted by either party. A number
of other resignations are announced upon better
authority, such as those of the late Counsellors
of State, MM. de Salvandy and Agier.
The Constitutionnel of this morning reprints
the letter of mine which appeared in your Paper
of the 21st, together with a letter from a Cor-
respondent of the _Times, which was published
in the Globe of the same evening. It is difficult
to believe all the details which are given by the
correspondent of the Times, as to the interme-
diate and proximate causes which produced the
late change in the French Ministy ; but if it be
true, that his Holiness could have written such
a letter as that which is described, the late ser-
vants of the King of France, did surely no more
than their duty to their master, in advising the
King to refuse to give it publicity. But I ex-
press the opinion of many well informed per-
sons, when I say, that although the details are '
without foundation, there is a great deal of,
truth in the general statement that the change
was effected by those who were able to operate
on the personal and devotional feelings of the
Sovereign, who was made to believe that, by
continuing to govern the country by the counsels
of his late servants, the safety and integrity of the
Gallican church would lie seriously endangered.
I do not see why I should withhold from you
an incident which reached me through a chan-
nel not often exposed to the public eye, but
which serves to indicate in the strongest manner
the universality to which I formerly alluded, of
the progress of liberal opinions in France, even
in those quarters least liable to the suspicion
of entertaining such sentiments. You are pro-
bably aware that the Garde du Corps, which is
in constant attendance on the person of the King
of France, is composed of young men of family,
many of them being connected with the old
Noblesse. This corps is divided into three de-
tachments, one of which does the duty in suc-
cession at St. Cloud, or the Tuilleries, while
those not on service are stationed at Versailles
and St. Germain. With a view no doubt to the
enlightenment of these young gentlemen in the
political principles which it might become them
to espouse, the new Ministry have followed the
example of their predecessors, by sending to their
mess-rooms those Journals whose business it is
to advocate the cause of the party in power. It
appears, however, that the sentiments of the
Quotidienne and the Gazette are not much re-
lished by these young guardsmen. By way of
qualifying the dose which was daily presented to
them by the Ministerial papers, they have
had the presumption to add a moderate in-
' fusion of more liberal opinions,• by order-
ing the Constitutionnel, at the expellee of the
Mess fund, and it has even been in agitation to
introduce the most violent opponent of the pre-
sent Ministry, the Journal des Debars, which
may now be considered as the champion of libe-
ral institutions and sentiments in France.

I have been sorry to observe that the oppo-
nents of the new Ministry have thought it neces-
sary to denounce the Cabinet of Prince Polignae
as of English origin, and as being the work of
the Duke of Wellington. I believe it to be true
that the King of France feels himself at this mo-
ment in rather a perilous predicament, and that
in case of any emergency he is disposed to look
to England as his dernier resort. These feel-
ings, indeed, on the part of the Royal family,
and those by whom they are surrounded, have
not been concealed with a due degree of caution.
The consequence is, that Frenchmen become
naturally disgusted, both with those who seek
and those who arc supposed to offer assistance.
They think, and it is surely not unnatural for a
brave and generous nation so to think, that their
King should trust to them, and to them only,
for support in every possible emergency. These
are feelings which, perhaps, it was not difficult to
awaken among a people so easily excited as the
French, and entertaining lately so many sentiments
of ancient rivalship, which, with such an engine
as the press, may readily be directed either for
good or for evil. Several of my English friends
have already been made to feel the unintended
influence of these labours of the daily press, in
the altered reception which they have lately met
with from Frenchmen, chiefly indeed, of the
lower orders, in places of public resort.
The more prudent and considerate of the

French liberals appear to have formed the opinion -
that the new Ministry will be compelled by the
universal voice of the country to make some
~
considerable concession, in order to divide, It
they cannot conciliate, the united mass of opiown
which is now opposed to them. I have re'
marked, however, that even among the indivi-
duals by whom these views are entertained, there
is no idea that the Ministry can either meet the
present Chamber or venture to call a new one.--
The nation, they say, will accept any boon
which the Government may offer them, Wel
knowing, at the same time, that the gift is unwll-
- bestowed. The Law of Elections and the
Liberty of the Press they consider as their Magna
Charts and their Bill of Rights. These 1110'3
were extorted, they say, by the voice of a united,
people, and with their assistance it is held by the
class I allude to, that France is in no danger of
such a revolutionary movement as that of which
the Royal family are supposed to be apprehensive'
