ADVANCE OF THE RUSSIANS.

The Prussian State Gazette contains the im-
portant news that the Russians have passed the
Balkan, took possession of Aidos, Bourgas,
and are in full march to Adrianople. What
will the advocates of Turkish discipline—
impregnable barriers—and numerous levies, say
to this ? If the Russians do not this campaign
advance to take Constantinople, it will not be
the fault of the Turks:—
NEWS FROM TIIE THEATRE OF WAR.

BERLIN, AUG. 14.—The most recent news from the
Russian army is from Aidos, where Count Diebitsch had
his head-quarters on the 14th (26th) July. After the
victorious troops order his command had totally defeated
the Turkish troops that opposed them, they made them-
selves mast,rs, not only of ;tidos, but also, at the same
time, of the imp,rtant places of Messembria, Ahioli (or
Achiolion), and Botirgas, and are now advancing rapidly
forwards in the fertile and populous plains beyond the Bal-
kan. The Turks, who were taken by surprise, and in-
stantly defeated, had no time to depopulate the province,
and the peaceable inhabitants, most of whom are Chris-
tians, quietly pursue their usual labours, under the protec-
tion of an enlightened and judicious Commander.
The details of the victorious march of the Russian army
are expected every moment, and shall be immediately com-
municated to our readers.

ST.— PETERSEURG/1, Ann. s.—According to the ac-
counts from our army beyond the Danube, which come
down to the 26th ult., it appears that the Grand Vizier
had not yet ventured to attack the corps of General Kras-
sowsky, which is posted at Jenibazar, fur if he had, we
must have had the news yesterday, as the communications
are now so speedy. But by the 26th General Krassowsky
might he joined by the reserve to the number of 35,000
men, sent by General Witt towards Bulgaria, and which
Lad already arrived at Babadagh, only five days' march
from Shumla. Thus the army of General Diehitsch would
be more than sufficiently covered both on the flank and
rear. On the 25th of last month the Emperor hid a
grand review of the troops in the camp at Krasnoje-Selo.

Brussels Papers of the 19th inst. have been
received, but their contents are not important :

BRUSSELS, AUG. IG.—Her Majesty the Empress of
Brazil slept list night at Louvain : she left it this morn-
ing, and will pass through Brussels, only stopping to
change horses, and will proceed without delay to Ostend,
by way of Ghent and Bruges, at which city she will be
received by M. de Liedekerke in his Majesty's name.
Arc. 17.—His Royal Highness the Prince of Saxe
Coburg has arrived here ft om London.
The young Empress of Brazil travels with her brother
the Prince of Leuchtcnburg, and their suite consists of
thirty-six persons.
A Commission is actually assembled at Brussels to exa-
mine the tariff of Customs, and several new regulations
or modifications which are said to be in contemplation,
M. de Smet Beusaert, and probably, the distinguiehtd

merchants of Ghent, 13russels, and Antwerp, are said to
Le members of this Commission.

The Austrian Observer of 9th August, contains some
news from the Universal Gazette of Greece, of 20th
June. This Gazette publishes the mines of the pro-
vinces which chose the President for their Deputy to the
National Assembly. The manner in which this choke
was made by so many provinces proves, says the Gazette,
how highly qualified the President is for his high office.
The extraordinary improvement that has taken place in the
country, the change from disobedience, disorder, and danger,
to obedit nee, order, and security, the encouragement given
to agriculture, the amelioration of the finances, and the
administration of justice, are all fruits of his exertions,
and have naturally produced the affection and gratitude of
the people.

The province of Corinth, in its instructions to its De-
puties, having first passed a warm eulogium .n the Pre-
sident, enjoins them :-1. To confine themselves to mat-
ters the obj,ct of which is the good of the country, in the
spirit of the President.
2. Not to meddle in factions, and thus oppose the sen-
timents and silutary intentions of the President.

3. If they depart in the smallest degree from their in-
structions, their full powers as Deputies to the Fourth
National Assembly are declared null and void.

We received this afternoon by express the
Paris Papers, from which we make the follov;ing
extracts. The march of the Russians on
Bourgas had caused universal consternation at
Constantinople :

No official article.

TouLoN, Aug. 12.—The Estafette, schooner, arrived
here this m ruing from Navarin. It is said to have
brought very important despatches, which were immedi-
ately sent express to Paris.

(From the Messager des Chambr s.)

Pairs, Aua. 18.—The Duke de Chartres arrived here
yesterday morning from London.
Accounts from Naples of the 2,1 of August give reason
to hope that the unfortunate Galotti will be sent back to
sica, but under sentence of perpetual banishment.

(The Paris Papers have no foreign news.)
(Feom the Allgemeine Zeitung, received with the Express.)

VIENNA, AuG. 9.—The Mail of the 26th July from
Constantinople has arrived. The letters are not delivered,
but from some private communications we learn that the
Reis Effendi had, on the 24th of July, given a final answer
to the English Ambassador respecting the Protocol of the
26th of March. The answer is not given at length in
the letters, but it is supposed that the Porte does not ac.
cept the mediation of the Powers in the affairs of Greece.
The march of the Russian troops towards Bourgas had
caused general consternation. The levy en masse was
proceeding with activity, and the city was tranquil. It
was said that the Sultan would march in person against
the enemy, but no orders to that effect had yet been issued.

We perceive in the Papers of this morning a
report, evidently furnished by one hand, of " a
very numerous meeting of the inhabitants of
Margate and Ramsgate, and others, held at the
Town-hall of Margate, on Wednesday afternoon,
for the purpose of considering what measures
should be adopted to obtain a more efficient com-
munication between the metropolis and the places
just mentioned."

The principal speaker at this meeting was Dr.
JAnvis, Chief Pier Commissioner, who ob-
served, that nothing but a sense of public duty
had induced him to attend. He then called the
attention of the Meeting to the grievances which
it was their object to remedy. These grievances
were—the existing coalition between the Mar-
gate steam-boat proprietors, which " tended
to render the passage between London and Mar-
gate any thing but what it ought to be, the pas-
sengers, owing to the limited number of vessels
starting, being packed more like negroes in a slave-
ship th.an any thing else." The consequence was,
that by this want of accommodation the interests
of the town of Margate were injured, especially
as the steam-boat proprietors landed their pas-
sengers when they thought fit at Ramsgate, to
get an additional fare out of their pockets.
He then deprecated the combination, and said
that a sufficient sum ought to be raised for
establishing Margate steam-boats, which, besides
doing the town incalculable good, would annihi-
late the combination. " Another evil was the
time occupied in the voyage, so that passengers
were obliged to take three meals on board," &c.
In addition to these crying evils, Mr. THOMAS
COBB, the Deputy of Margate, who acted as
Chairman, said that in consequence of the coa-
lition, the number of visitors to Margate had
greatly fallen of, as compared with former years.
A Committee was then appointed, and a sub-
scription of 2,5001. entered into towards the
formation of a fund for establishing steam-boats
to run between London and Margate.
We have been thus particular in stating
the whole substance of what took place at
the meeting so far as the report goes, but we
have looked in vain for another item of griev-
ance which has been entirely overlooked, and
which item is more ruinous to the interests of
the good town of Margate than all the others
put together—we mean the extortionate Pier-
dues I ! Why has all mention of these been
omitted when the baneful consequences of the
minor evils were so feelingly pourtrayed ? Could
not Dr. JARVIS, to whom we understand Mar-
gate is deeply indebted, have lugged in his dar-
ling hobby of the Pier-dues as a make-weight on
the other side of the question ? But so it is :
men who have a private interest at stake only see
with a prejudiced eye. The coalition of the
steam-boat companies is, we believe, an evil,
as all coalitions or monopolies are, their object
being to fleece the many for the benefit of the
rfeewme;dbieudt
?theii
by
w
vil
ah rival 1 stnpo this
se
proposed to be
e o -partner with

the Pier Monopoly ! But let us look a little
closer into the assertions of Dr. JARVIS, for
they are not facts. He says, that for want of
accommodation in the limited number
of steam-boats, the passengers are packed
like negroes—this is not the case—and
if it were, the packing is voluntary, and yet
there is a falling off in the number of visitors.
Why ?—because two shillings a head are
charged for man, woman, or infant landing on
the pier—and so strictly is this tax levied
that every passenger must pay whether he can
land or not. But Dr. JARVIS says that " the
steam-boat proprietors landed their passengers
when they thought fit at Ramsgate to get an
additional fare out of their pockets."—Monstrous
want of candour ! The passengers are never
landed at Ramsgate, but when it is found im-
possible to land them at Margate, from the want
of water and the stupid construction of the Pier,
which is absolutely dry at low water—and the
boats cannot frequently reach the Jetty by several
hundred feet, from the same cause—nay, in
stormy weather it is impossible. But mark
the sequel ;—notwithstanding that the boats
can not land at either the Pier or Jetty, and
are forced to proceed to Ramsgate, the Pier
dues are the same ! Was ever imposition more
monstrous than this ! Two shillings a passenger
charged because the Pier cannot afford accommo-
dation. Oh ye Pier Commissioners ! think of this,
mid spare yourselves the pockets of the visiters,
when ye impute interested motives to others.
But we have not room for any further remark.
The length of the voyage, and the three meals
on board, speak for themselves.

We received the following from an intelligent
Correspondent at Paris, but we have no room
for any comment :

" Since I had the pleasure of seeing you I
have been chiefly in France, and having had the
advantage of being introduced into good French
society, I have made it my business to compare
what I have heard and seen in well-informed
circles with the views which have been so gene-
rally adopted on European politics, and on the
domestic affairs of France, by the London Daily
Press. For some time before the late change in
the French Ministry, I was fearfully impressed with
the difference which existed between Frenchmen
and Englishmen on the subject of liberality, as
it is termed in modern politics, but since the
accession of M. Polignac to power, that differ-
ence has been marked in a manner much more
striking than I could have anticipated. In ge-
neral I am perfectly disposed to coincide in the
sentiments so ably advocated by The Sun, but
the tone which you have assumed, in common
with almost every other respectable print, on the
subject of the new French Ministry, although,
no doubt, supported by a great deal of sound
reasoning, is so utterly inconsistent with the uni-
versal voice of Paris and of France, that I have
thought it right to draw your attention to the
subject. It is unquestionably a conviction on the
part of Admiral de Rigny, that the Ministry of
M. Polignac is not to stand, which has induced
him to abstain from any connection with the new
Administration. De Rigny is extremely popular
in France ; and it was no doubt with a view to
throw the weight of the Admiral's popularity
into the scale of the:new Administration, that the
Prince was desirous of including the hero of
Navarin, as he is called, in the new Cabinet..
The Admiral, however, is equally aware of the
value of the place he has reached in popular fa-
vour, and has taken his election to keep that
place rather than risk the loss of it, by connecting
himself with an Administration so decidedly and
universally unpopular as that of M. Polignac.

" I have said that liberal sentiments are al-
most universal in France. lam at least justi-
fied in saying that they are more general than in
England. At the same time I am bound to add,
that they have not acquired that settled and re-
gulated character, and that appearance of stability,
which the older institutions of England have
given to the views of our own countrymen, on
such subjects. The Times appears to me to have
treated their Paris correspondent with undue
severity. The writer has, perhaps, identified
himself too strongly with French sentiments ;
but, on the other hand, these sentiments being
those of a whole nation, have surely been treated
much too lightly by the conductors of the Lon-
don Press. It is not long since I have heard it
said, on very tolerable authority, that the Royal
Family of France arc never without the fear of
a second revolution, although it may be said
that such an idea is scarcely compatible with the
selection which the King has made of so un-
popular a Minister. However that may be, it
is clear that a crisis of some kind is approach-
ing, and I trust that you will pardon me for the
suggestion, that some allowance should be made
for the strong excitement which at present exists
among all ranks of men in this country."

Letters from Saragossa state, that the greatest
alarm existed there in consequence of the nume-
rous arrests ordered by the Count D'ESPAGNE.
Many distinguished persons at Barbastro and
Miquenenza had been arrested, and sent to
Barcelona fur tri)l, or in other words for con-
demnation to death, by a military tribunal.

private adviees from Madrid confirm the re-
ceipt of intelligence of the expedition having
sailed from Havannah against Campeachy. This
confirmation had reached Madrid by way of
Ferrol.

Private letters from Lisbon state, that some
disturbances have broken out at Oporto, caused
by the intrigues and violence of the Miguelites,
who paraded the streets, exciting tumults, in
consequence of the commutation of the sentence
of ~)1. COELHO and TEXEIHA, two of the went

victims to the tyranny of Don IVIIGuEL. The
troops were called out, and order soon restored.

Letters from Vienna to the Bth instant state,
that the accounts from Wallachia of the pro-
gress of the plague in that province were so
alarming, that the Austrian Government had
directed the cordon sanitaire to be reinforced
by several regiments.

CITY, TIVYLris 0' CLOCK.

The Consol Market is rather brisk this morning,
Consols, which left off yesterday at 883: for the
Account, opened at 881 and 88i 89 for next
Account. This improvement in the market is attri-
buted to the French 3 per Cents, leaving off on
Wednesday at 79 80.
We have received accounts from Wallachia of the
24th July, stating that it was confidently reported
there that Count Pahlen, ancient Governor of the
Principalitie', was to embark with Count (=Mow, at
Odessa, to meet the Grand Vizier, and to open a
new negociation.

We announced a few days ago that the Russian
Admiral in the Mediterranean had reported that two
of his ships of the line were unfit for duty, and that
his Government would replace them by some fresh
ships. We have now to announce that part of the
force intended for this purpose is already off our
coast. One of the Russian frigates was in sight
yesterday afternoon,.-passing at the bark of the
Goodwin Sands.

We also understand that the Gloucester is in no
hurry to sail, as she is not to leave the Nore until
the Court-martial on Capt. Dickenson is ocer,
which will require three weeks.
Letters from Ancona, of the 26th of July, an-
nounce that the Pacha of Egypt is preparing an
expedition, which is supposed to he against Candia,
and the Russian squadron is concentrating at Poros
to observe the movements of the Pacha.

Accounts from Barbadoe,:, of the 31st of May,
state that the Governor has not granted the petition
of the people to have the ports opened.

The Consol Market continues very firm, and has
improved since the early part of the morning, when
they were at 88a- for the Account, and at present
they are 881, and 89 to 4 for next Account this
continual improvement of the Market is attributed
to two circumstances—first, that it is the general
belief that the great Hebrew operators are in pos-
session of news from the East ;—second, that
it is a great Bear Account, and they will be able
to deliver the stock on settling day, which is near at
hand.

The Ganges man-of-war is arrived from Rio
Janeiro ; she is of an old date, but brings
18,0001. sterling for the Brazil Mining Company.

RESPITE OF THE CONVICT VIALL.

BURY, THURSDAY NIGHT.-The trial and ultimate fate
of the above youthful culprit has for some time been a
theme of conversation in this town, and as no malice
prepense was proved, it was confidently hoped, and by
many expected, that the sentence passed upon him would
be commuted.

This morning the mail conveyed a respite during Royal
pleasure, which is deemed tantamount to an order for
banishment, or confinement as a lunatic.

The Princess AUGUSTA came to town yester-
day morning, from her residence at Froginore. Her Royai
Highness paid a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Cum-
BEHLAND, at their residence. in the King's Palace, St.
James's, and partook of a dejeune with their Royal High-
„„„s. In the afternoon the Princes visited her sister the
Princess tinmirA, at her apartments in the King's Palace,
at Kensington, and afterwards proceeded on her return to
Fromore.

The Marquis and Marchioness of STAFFORD
visited the Duke and Duchess of CUDIBEILLAND yesterday,
and took 1-sve of their Royal Highnesses previous to their
depature it the aittrnoola for Traotham-haJI, Staffordshire.
