°II Well.

Commercial letters from Constantinople, by
the Turkish mail this morning to the 11th ult.,
tstate that his Majesty's cutter Hind left that
Tort on the 7th for Egina and Zante. His
4a.ie-sty's ships Blonde and Rifleman remained
4t Constantinople, as did the whole of the
Turkish fleet.

We have a file of Gibraltar Papers to the 22d
`ult. Nine individuals have been executed at
Barcelona, charged with conspiracy against the
Government.

We received this morning the following com-
munication from our intelligent correspondent at
Paris :--

PARIS, SEPT. 7, 1829.
On the authority of letters from the frontiers
of-Servia, dated the 20th of August, it is gene-
rally believed in Paris this morning, that the
allied French and English
,fleets, which were at
Tenedos, had entered the Dardanelles and made
sail for Constantinople. This movement had
been long expected by the Turks, and is believed
to have been the consequence of the rapid pro-
gress of the Russians. The confirmation of so
itrlP°'`..ant an event will of course be looked for
wi.th the greatest impatience.
The accounts which have reached Paris this
morning, by way of Vienna, from the Austrian
capital, are not later than the 10th and 11th of
August. Their contents are exceedingly con-
tradictory, but it seems to be certain that the
Sultan, with the standard of the Prophet, left
Terapia on the 9th for Ramis Tchiflik, where
'a Powerful army was to be assembled. Troops
dad also been sent to Karaburnu under the com-
mand of the Seraskier, from the apprehension of
111'1 landing of a Russian force.
In those letters, which admit the agitated state
of the capital, it is said that a general conflagra-
tion is the chief ground of apprehension, and
that orders have been issued to place a guard in
ever!, house, with water buckets always in readi-
"s, and to have fire engines constantly prepared
for immediate use in various quarters of the town.
The acceptance of the treaty of London by
the Porte has led, it is said, to explanations by
the Prussian Ambassador, which have opened
the way to an amicable adjustment of the diffe-
rences between the belligerents ; and Mr. Gor-
don, having surmounted the first difficulties, is
now laying the basis of ulterior and more com-
prehensive negociations. By some of the writers
these negociations are regarded as the last hope of
the Turks, for the stability of the Ottoman power.
The enthusiasm of the people is, they say, de-
cidedly on the wane ; for, like most men much
elated by success, the Turks are extremely liable
to be discouraged by defeat, and the enemies of
the empire lose no opportunity to work upon
the spirit of the nation. The most profound
811ence is uniformly maintained by the Porte as
to all military transactions, so that nothing is
accurately known at Constantinople as to the
Present situation of the Russian forces ; and al-
though a considerable force has been detached
"der Abdourahman Paeha, yet the general levy
of 40,000 men for the defence of Constantinople
alone, sufficiently attests the danger in which
the capital is placed.

On the 6th of August a Russian steam-vessel
appeared at the entrance of the Black Sea,
where she was a long time engaged in making
soundings. After firing some shots at the
Castles she departed.
The news from Jassy of the 15th speak of a
successful sortie which the Grand Vizier had
bade from Shumla.
In the saloons of Paris the chief subject of
'onversation at the present moment consists of
Port, which has not yet assumed any very de-
un reite or consistent form, of a serious misunder-
4trauding between some of the leading members
on; the Cabinet. It is said by some that Sour-
,°nt and Labourdonnaye, the most unpopular
whsle
of the Ministry, are about to retire ;
the
others with equal confidence allege that
tlae nominal Premier is to give place to Labour-
..°lThlaye, for whom, they say, it was all along
`tinderstood that he was only to be the locum
lie:l,ens• The more, however, that my opportu•
eg
of observation extend, the more firmly am
eeoll7inced that no internal change in the pre-
p Ministry will enable the Ultra-Royalist
j Itit► Yto maintain themselves in power. It has,
been demonstrated, that they will not
the hahle to carry a single question in the present
atubers ; and if we nay trust to the voice of l
_
't th people, so loudly and unanimously expressed,
ee—aY also, I think, be safely concluded, that
to aPPeal to the constituent body will be equally
t4ueeessful. According to our old-fashioned
14°glish notione, it might from these pre-
4ite r
sea be inferred, that the party had no
heli „
native but to retire. It is currently
sime'eu, however, by the liberal party that some
..."11t encroachment on the charter will be at-
Pted, and from the manner in which such
tlmgs.ervations are received by the friends of the
41„ ‘rY, lam not disposed to deny all credit to
rc,„ statement on which those apprehensions are
.44,/ed.
4141 e e are aware that two of the Paris Papers,
teal! 8u nominally dated in the morning, are
or ji Published on the previous afternoon. One
theM) the Gazette de France, being the organ
Teas Present Ministry ; while the other, the
in thter des C4ambres, has established itself
been e ranks of the Opposition. It has always
tube the 'Practice for the Evening Papers in Paris
the hawked about the streets; but M. Mangin,
„
tuse
t- Prefect of Police, has thought fit to re-
Me,,, he continuance of this privilege to the
cigar, and has thus discovered in what man-

ner be is to fulfil the assurances he gave at his
installation, that. I. Wt )(I id follow in all respects
the footsteps of his popular and impartial pre-
decessor, M. de Belleyme.

Two Reform Meetings have taken place within
the last fortnight ; one at Winchester, the other
at the Mechanic's Institution, Holborn. At the
former, Mr. H. MARSH, a facetious gentleman,
well known in the political coteries at Reading,
held forth at some length on the necessity of a
prompt and effective reform in the House 01
Commons, as at present.constituted. After ob-
serving that the country was in an embarrassed
condition—which, to the extent that he asserted
it was, we utterly deny—he went on to state that
such embarrassment was occasioned by the con-
duct of Governmeat, who, by a premature alte-
ration of the currency, had inflicted incalculable
mischiefs on public credit. This we have fre-
quently had occasion to remark—is the invariable
line of argument adopted by those who either
distrust their own practical acquaintance with the
subject which they profess to discuss, or have
nothing left to say upon it. They fly to the
currency question, upon the same principle that
the old Ultras fly to the Emancipation Bill,
namely, to prove that it has been the ruin of
England. When any of our ultra cotemporaries
have been puzzled for an argument, we have not
failed to ohserve that they invariably fly to the
Catholic Question, well knowing that few of their
readers will think it worth their while to canvass
so trito a topic. With regard to reform, on the
necessity of which Mr. H. MARSH insists so
stoutly, we have not the remotest idea of disputing

its expediency, but would merely desire that it
should be gradual, temperate, and in every respect
accordant to the spirit of the Constitution. The
embarrassments of the country will derive no
amelioration from radical reform. They are
simply passing clouds, totally unconnected with
any measures old or recent of Government, and
will work their own cure if left to the natural
operation of time and circumstance.
