We have received Malta papers to the sth of Sep-
tember, with dates from Constantinople to the 27th
of August, from Smyrna to the 29th, and from
Syria (Beyrout) to the 13th ; the dates from the
last-named place not being later than those received
by previous arrivals.

- The Constitutionnel has an article which adduces
arguments to prove that, of all the parties concerned
in the Treaty of July 13, Russia is the only
one that has reaped any advantage, in a corn-
mercial point of view. By it, our Contemporary
declares,. the Black Sea has been made a Russian
lake, Turkey alone having the privilege of entering
there, but, from her weakness, being unable to
profit by the advantage thus placed in her power;
that Russia, besides, is mistress of the mouths
of the Danube, and has greater power than other
nations on the coasts of Asia Minor, and from this
point may become dangerous to the Englisif rosses-
sions in the East; that she has also gained .the ad-
vantage of cutting off all sorts of assistance from the
population of the Caucasus, and thus diminishing the
difficulties of the ‘var against the Tscherkess ; that as
a striclly prohibitive system of commerce has been
adopted in Russia, so as to nearly exclude all foreign
goods, all transit through the country is impossible;
and drat the Emperor may at his ease carry forward
his plan of encouraging manufactures, not only for
home consumption, but even for exportation to the
East.

We loam from Cologne that the King of the Nether-
lands arrived there in the evening of the 10th instant,
and immediately proceeded to the Palace at Bruhl,
where the Prince and Princess of Orange had already
arrived on a visit to the King of Prussia. M. Liszt,
the great pianist, being at Cologne, the King invited
him to a. musical..party at Bruhl that evening, at
which there were other eminent performers.
The Gazette of Upper Germany announces that it
has been decided to make Rastadt a fortified place of
the first class, . and that the works are to be com-
menced in the course of .the autumn. It states that
this determination to raise an imposing . fortress op-
posite to Strasbourg has given very general satis-
faction.

A Correspondent writes from Buda, 4th inst. :
" The Bishop of Grosswaradin, who is one of the
most decided opponents of mixed marriages, has re-
signed his See, and been created by the Popo an
Archbishop in partibus. From this it is inferred,
that the question of mixed marriages will be decided
in the next Diet in favour of the Protestants. The
Prelate has made an immense sacrifice to his prin-
ciples, as the revenue of his bishopric amounted to
200,000 florins, about 500,000 francs."
We have received the Madrid journals of the 7th
inst. A Council, composed of the Intendant-General,
the Dire-tor of the I{entes, and other functionaries,
was to be held on that day, for the purpose of consider-
ing the means of reducing to 12,000 reals all salaries
exceeding that amount, those of officers in the army
being included.
" The .provincial deputation of Navarre," says the
Heraldo, has voted the following premiums :—For
the capture of every highwayman, 2,000 reals ; for
every robber or assassin, 2,000 reals; for every bur-
glar, 2,000 reals ; for every sheep- stealer, 200 reals ;
for every housebreaker, 1,000 reals."
