ANOTHER RUSSIAN LEVY.

If we could ever have entertained any doubts
as to the real intentions of Russia with respect
to her views on Turkey, we think that the Em-
peror's Manifesto for another levy of three men
out of every 500 would settle the point. It will
be recollected that this is the third levy since the
beginning of the war—a war too which the Em-
peror himself assures us has been everywhere
crowned with the most brilliant success by the

blessing of the Almighty ! Really this religious
cant—affected moderation—and manifesto for an
additional levy of troops ill assort together. But
mark the Imperial reason for this new levy--
« the obstinacy with which the enemy rejects all
the proposals for peace made to him at the com-
mencement of the hostilities and several times

since." Name one instance, thou Prince o

moderation ! He cannot : but for this reason
the Emperor says that he is not able to see
wizen the war will end ! This is pretty signifi-
cant truly of what NICHOLAS means to do, for
if he in whose hand the fortune of war is placed

cannot foresee, now that he is actually in pos,
session of all that he set out for, when the con.
test will terminate, who can ? Is not the des•

tiny of the Ottoman empire at this moment de.
pendent on his mercy ?—and if he cannot tel
when he will stop in his career of conquest, veil:

the Duke of WELLINGTON inform him ? For
our own part we think in all humility that his
Grace's belief has been stretched already rather
beyond the ordinary bounds of endurance. But

the Emperor still professes, while the Turks (?'
believe and tremble.

In the meantime General DIEBITSCH pur-
sues his triumphant career. The garrison of
Adrianople, consisting of 10,000 regular troops,
laid down their arms on the approach of the
Russians, though all the ways were open for

their retreat, and left to the conquerors 54 can-
non, 20 standards, 5 horse tails, their camp,

leir arms and ammunition, and the men ob

tained permission to go to their own homes to
employ themselves in agriculture ! So says the
account—and a most inglorious one it is for the
honour of the Turks.

But with respect to the new levy, we appre-
hend there must be some mistake—for the ma-
nifesto says three men out of every 500 souk of
the whole Empire. Now if we take the popula•

tion of Russia at only 40,000,000, the new levy
would amount to 240,000 men, a force which
cannot surely be wanted to supply the casualties
occasioned by the war, especially if we are to
believe the Russian bulletins, which; seldom re-
presented the loss in the most severe battle at
6 or 8000 men, and there were not many of these.
But let the Emperor NICHOLAS preach mo-

service.

But it was to be expected that the
great success of General DIEBITSCH, so ably
seconded by that of PASKEWITSCII, would draw
out the secret of Russian ambition—and now
behold the mask of hypocrisy cast aside I We
look with some curiosity for the next proclama-
tion of the Emperor after his arms shall have
taken Constantinople. Before then it will not
be good policy to declare himself. But we
must trust to his moderation—and that, judging
by his recent professions, can only be excelled
by his magnanimity :

BERLIN, SEPT. 10.
In addition to the accounts of the occupation of
Adrianople by the Russian army, which are received
from Vienna, we have through another channel the
following additional particulars relative to that im-
portant event :

" A despatch from General Count Diebitsch,
dated Eski Serai, at Adrianople, 21st ult., brings the
news of the entrance of the victorious Russian troops
into that city, at nine in the morning of the day be-
fore. The garrison of Adrianople, consisting of
10,000 regular troops, laid down their arms on the
approach of the Russians, though all the way was
open for their retreat, and left to the conquerors 54
cannon, 20 standards, five horsetails, their camp,
and their arms and ammunition, and the men ob-
tained permission to go to their own homes, to em-
ploy themselves in agriculture.- The numerous po-
pulation of the city, Mahometans as well as Chris-
tians, came with entire confidence to meet the Rus-
sian army."

ST. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 2.
The following Imperial Manifesto has been pu
fished here :

" The war which we are carrying on against the
Ottoman Porte, to rescue the repeatedly-vio-
lated rights of our empire, is, by the bless-
ing of the Almighty, every where crowned
with the most brilliant success, but in con-
sequence of the obstinacy with which the enemy re-
jects all the proposals for peace made to him at the
commencement of hostilities, and several times since,
we are not able to see when it will end. Consider-
ing it, therefore, to be absolutely necessary to make
good the losses sustained by our army in the field,
as well as the ordinary diminution in the other
troops of the empire, we hereby ordain
1. There shall be a levy of three recruits from
every 500 souls throughout the whole empire, with
the eteeption of Georgia and Bessarabia.
" 2. The supply of half the contingent of recruits
for the 92d levy, in the governments of Cherson,
Ekaterinoslaw, Pulawa, Kiew, Podolia, and the
Ukraine shall be deferred to future levies, for the
reasons declared in our Ukase of the 2d September,
1828, and on account of the supply of drivers for
the train for the army in the field, during the pre-
sent year.

" Given in the island of Jelaguin, August 10,
(22) in the year 1829, and fourth of our reign.
(Signed) " NICHOLAS."
To the manifesto are appended the usual regula-
tions for the manner in which the levy is to be
effected. It is to be begun on 13th November this
year, and must be wholly completed in two months.
The Senate is to take measures that all recruits due
from former levies shall be furnished. The recruits
are not to be under 18 or above 35 years, and
must not be under two arohuns three wersehoks
in height. 1

ODESSA, AUG. 26.
The Emperor has addressed a rescript to Count
Woronzow, Governor of New Russia, to the effect
that Count Diehitsch being so far from the frontiers
of the empire, that any measures ordered by him
to prevent the propagation of the plague cannot be
executed in due time, or with sufficient vigour, his
Majesty has been pleased to place all the quarantine
establishments upon the Dniester, Pruth, and Da-
nube, tinder the immediate orders of Count
Woronzow, with unlimited authority to act
according to the existing regulations, with-
out waiting for instructions respecting his mea-
sures, on which he is to make his report to
the Emperor, and to the Minister of the Interior.
After some further directions it is ordered " All
persons who transgress against the quarantine regu-
lations shall not be tried by the criminal courts, but
according to the penal code of the great army,
partly on account of the enormity of the crime, partly
to serve as an example."

In consequence Of this order two persons have
actually been tried and shot, one was an inhabitant
of the village of Kujalniki who concealed the death
of a gill who died in his house, the other a Polish
jew, who had recently left the town and got through
the sanitary cordon.
The Privy Councillor, Count P3hlen, sailed on
the 23d for Bourgas. The Adjutant General,
Count Orloff, who arrived here the day before yes-
terday from St. Petersburg!), also sailed yesterday
for Bourgas. Eighty vessels, hired by the Crown,
are now lying in the harbour of Bourgas, whither
they have conveyed provisions for the army, from
various Russian ports.

WARSAW, SEPT. 7.
Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Helen
of Russia arrived here the day before yesterday, and
set out to-day for Tulczyn.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 10th and 11th
inst. repeats the rumour that General PASKE-
WITSCH had advanced against Trebisond.
The accounts from Odessa of the 27th Aug.
state that numerous ships, laden with provisions
and forage, daily sail for Varna and other places
along the coast, for the Russian army. It is
hinted, that even should peace be brought about,
strong garrisons will be left at all the captured
places— in other words, that the Russians mean
to keep possession of all the country they conquer.
Accounts from Vienna confirm the appoint-
ment of the Duke DE LAVAL MONTMORENCY
as Ambassador to the Court of London. He
is to be succeeded at Vienna by Count La TER-
RONNAYs. A report prevailed that it was in
contemplation by the Austrian Government to
reduce the interest of Stock from five to four

deration as long as he pleases—and it has hi-
therto answered his purpose well,—the cloven
foot now appears as he takes firmer hold of the
promised land, for which Russian ambition
has been panting for the last century. The new
levy is to be composed of young men from 18
to 35 years of age—another proof that the Em-
peror means to take a long lease of their services,
for in his former levies the age was extended to
60—an age too advanced for hard or distant

FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, AUG. 29.
Count Von Pahleor late Governor of Odessa, is
appointed by his Court to negociate with the Porte.
After the conclusion of peace, Count Pahlen is to
remain as Russian Ambassadoi at Constantinople,
and as he is thoroughly acquainted with the com-
merce of Southern Russia, the choice of him
for that post is considered as very judicious.
VIENNA, Sgrr. 5. —Metalliques, 1001; Bank
Shares, 11731.

Brussels Papers of the 16th September have
been received this morning, but their contents

possess no interest :

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 15.
A British Cabinet messenger passed through yes-
terday, on his way from Germany to London, with
despatches.
His Hieness the Hargrave William of Baden
arrived here yesterday from Ostrude, on his return
to Baden.

The French Papers of Monday have been re-
ceived, and those of Tuesday by express. The
theme of their indignation is still the Ministry,
which ha! rendered itself more odious than ever
by its indiscriminate seizure of the Journals at
the Post-office.

It is stated that General DIEBITSCII, on
leaving Adrianople, had ordered a column
of his army to proceed by the road towards
Fery near the Gulph of Enos, " but that the
main body of the army marches towards Con-
stantinople. It is supposed that the troops sent
on the road to )Fry are destined to form a junc-
tion with the Russian squadron stationed off the
Dardanelles. This manoeuvre greatly alarms the

Turks. It is certain that the appearance of the
Russian troops on the coasts of the Archipelago
greatly endangers the castles of the Dardanelles,
and that a fermentation may manifest itself in
the capital when the news of this two-fold

threatening approach of the enemy should be
known there. But if the people revolt, the life
of the SULTAN, on which the fate of the Em.
pire depends, will undoubtedly be in the greatest
danger."

We predicted that this would be the case a
month ago unless the English fleet seized the
Dardanelles. The Gazette de France says,—
" It is believed that General DIEBITSCH has
already occupied the Dardanelles, and that he is
endeavouring to make himself master of all the
points of communication by which the capital
is supplied with provisions.

" Admiral MALCOLM'S squadron had quitted
ipsara, and was at Von/.la on the 25th."
The following are extracts from the French
Papers of Tuesday :

From the Messager des Chambres of the 16th of Sep

tember, Second Edition.)
PARIS, SEPT. 15.

A report has been spread here that the office of
Minister of the Police was going to be re-established,
and that M. De Vitrolles was to fill it. The con-
sternation was general. It was then affirmed that
Messrs. Labourdonnaye and Bourmont were to quit
the Cabinet, and to give some credit to the news, it
was affirmed that it came from an Englishman, who
was well informed. Others affirm, this morning,
that the exaggerated party in which M. de Montbel
must be reckoned, had gained the advantage. The
very serious divisions which have manifested them-
selves in the Council of Ministers, gave rise to a
multitude of conflicting reports.
[None of the French Papers contain any news
from the theatre of war, besides such as have been
received through other channels.]

or otherwise annoy tint audience, will he handed out and
denied future admission, and that the old brothel keepers,
who, at one of the theatres at least, last year, were allowed
to infest the lobbies, will not be allowed, under any pre-
tence, to enter the theatres. Four policemen will be
stationed nightly at each theatre. They will carry a
printed list of instructions, amongst which are the follow-
ing—that they shall render every assistance to persons re-
quiring their aid in the preservation of order, and refuse
fees or presents of every description.

VIENNA, SEPT. 6.
The Austrian Observer announces, that in conse-
quence of negociations at New York, between Ba-
ron Von Lederer, the Austrian Consul, and the
Government of the United States, that Govern-
ment has granted to Austrian ships in the har-
bours of the United States perfect equality with
American ships, to which effect a proclamation
has been issued by the President of the United
States. A courier from Paris has brought to
the Duke de Laval Montmorency letters of re-
call from the Austrian Court, and his appoint-
ment to the post of Ambassador at London. Count
La Ferronnays is to succeed him here. The pacific
news in the Austrian Observer of yesterday caused
our funds to rise considerably. It is generally re-
ported here, that the Government intends to reduce
the interest of our stock from five to four per cent.
and has already entered into negociations for this
purpose. But as neither the source of the report,
nor the persons negotiated with, nor the rates of
the negociation are stated, it will be advisable to wait
for the confirmation of the report, which may very
likely be the result of a combined stock jobbing
speculation.

CITY, TWRLVR o' Gloat.
Sydney Papers from New South Wales have
been received to the 3d May, and Demerara to the

Coffee-house :
(From the Sydney Paper of the 3d May.)
" GOVERNMENT ORDER.

" Colonial Secretary Office, May 1, 1829.
" His Excellency the Governor is pleased to di'
rect the publication of the following report trolls
Captain Stuart of the 39th Regiment, dated Welling'
ton Valley, the 16th instant:—lt appears that sub'
sequent to Captain Stuart's former report, dated 4th
March last, the expedition had been employed io
tracing the course of the river Castlereagh, which
was found to join the river discovered on the 2d
February, about 100 miles to the northwari of
Mount Harris, and in ascertaining the nature of
the country in that quarter; the expedition having
thus accomplished the object for which it was em'
ployed, by ascertaining the termination of the rivers
Macquarrie and Castlereagh, and the .nature add
character of the surrounding country, and having
also discovered a river of some magnitude, which it.
is probable, when its course shall have been more fully
determined, will be found to be of importance to the
colony ; the Governor, though he regrets that the
country which has been explored does not hold out
prospect of the advantageous extension of the colony in
that direction, considers it satisfactory that the eliar
ratter of the country has been ascertained, by which
means a question, which has excited so much inte-
rest, has been set at rest. His Excellency the Go'
vernor having laid before the Executive Council
Captain Stuart's several reports, has much satisfae'
tion in thus publicly expressing the sense which his
Excellency entertains of the judicious manner in
which he appears to have conducted the expedition,,
and the zeal and perseverance which, under dream.
stances of no ordinary difficulty, he effected in the
most satisfactory manner the object of his instruction.

There is no truth in the statement of the Sydney
Paper, that the warrant appointing the new Legit'
lative Council has arrived.

We perceive from the Colonial Papers that Mt
Priest, the spirited Editor of the Antigua Free Press,
was tried for a libel on the Chief Justice of that
island, and fined the sum of 2501. currency.
We have received Burbadoes Papers to the 20th
