We have given extracts in another column.

We received this morning Hamburgh Papers
to the 27th ult. and Dutch to the 30th ; they

contain a very important fact in the present pos-
ture of affairs, namely, an Imperial Ukase, by the
Emperor NICHOLAS, ordering a levy throughout
the whole Empire, at the rate of two men out
of every five hundred. In this levy, even the
Jews are to be included, and are to serve i❑
person. The time allowed for completing this
force is limited to two months, and is to com-
mence on the first of November. Taking the
population of Russia at forty millions, the
amount of the levy would make 160,000 men,
which is a fearful addition to the present force of
that gigantic and ambitious power

ST. PITERSEURGII, SEPT. 15.
IMPERIAL MANIFESTO ORDERING A GENE-
RAL LEVY OF RECRUITS IN THE WHOLE
OF THE EMPIRE.
" In the course of three successive years our Empire
has not required any levy of recruits. The agricultural
occupations of our beloved subjects experienced during this
period in the bosom of their families no interruption. Mean
t;me the ordinary annual decrease by deaths, the discharge of
he soldiers who had served the legal time, the dismissal of
thole who were disabled by age or siekness, and, lastly,

the discharge which we granted to part of "our soldier's on
the 3d September last year, as a mark of Imperial favouri
have caused a very considerable diminution in our fleets
and armies. In order io fill up these deficiencies,
and to maintain our armies at all times on a footing
corresponding with the situation of our empire, we have
judged it indispensably necessary to order a levy of recruits
in the present year. We therefore order,
I. That two recruits be taken for every 500 inhabit-
ants in the whole empire.
2. That this levy shall be made according to the basis
of the existing laws, and According to the directions of the
Ukase addressed on this day to the Directing Senate, in
which we have given orders for relieving our beloved sub-
jects as much as possible, and among other things the Money_
i'or equipment and provisions is considerably reduced.
3. The colonised regiments of the four divisions of
cavalry, are to receive any of the recruits raised by this
levy : as they no longer contributed to the general levy,
they Must he recruited out of their own districts, according
to the regulation laid down to the colonised corps.
Island Yelagin, September 7, 1827. The second year
of our reign. NICHOLAS.
_

The Ukase to the Senate, of the same date, orders that
the levy shall commence on the Ist of November, and
(with the exeeption of Georgia and Bessarabia, in which
the old regulations continue to be in force) be ended in the
course of two months. :' itighe

The recruits are not to be, under 18, or above 35 years
of age, and to measure at least two arsheens and three
werehoks.

A second Ukase, of Sept. 7, orders, "that all Jews
settled in the Russian Empire shall henceforth be subject to
military service." This Ukase contains the following
passage
" As we consider it just that, for the relief of our be-
loved subjects, the duty of serving in the army shall be
equally enforced on all who are liable to it, we order=
" 1. The Jews are to he made to serve in person.
" 2. Tee pecuniary tax imposed on them, in lieu of the
personal service, is abolished.
" S. With respect to the recruits to be levied from that
people, the regulations of the ordinance specially issued on
that subject are to be observed.
We are convinced that the improvement and the know-
ledge which the Jews will acquire by their military
service, will, on their return, have, after rheir legal time
is expired, be communicated to their families, and greatly
tend to accelerate the progress of their civil establishment
and domestic life.

PETERSBURGH, SEPT. 12.

.On the 7th, the anniversary of the battle of Borodino,
the first stone was laid by their Imperial Majesties the
Emperor and the Empresses and the Grand Dukes,
Alexander and Michael, of. a new triumphal arch in
honour of the corps of the guard, who took part in
the glorious campaigns of 1813, 14, and 15. The
triumphal arch, built of wood, in the last mentioned year,
had fallen into decay, and has been pulled down. Above
9000 of the gnards were present at the ceremony.

His Majesty has for the present, and for the immediate
relief of the sufferers by the fire at Abo, granted 100,000
rubles from his privy purse.

STOCKHOLLVI, SEPT. 18.

We have seen several letters from Abo, which give ac-
counts of the fire similar to those first received. The lasses
of several private persons are very great. M. Frenckel,
a printer, 400,000 rubles; Mr. Richter, a tanner, 300,000,
&c. Many merchants and shopkeepers have lost every
thing. Psi. Heelmerus, merchant, lost his life.

Brussels Papers have been received to the
30th ult. According to a letter from Prevesa,
the news of the intervention of the Great Powers
had spread consternation among the Turks, and
a solicitation was immediately made to RED-
SCHID PACHA for a reinforcement, otherwise

it was feared the fortress would fall into the
hands of the Greeks. According to accounts
from Cephalonia of the 12th of August, PAUL
BUON'APARTE, the second son of LUCIEN, had
arrived there on the 10th,„ on board the lonian
bombard Santa Trinite, Capt. PETER MoN-
TESSANTO, from Sinigaglia ; and it is said lie
will shortly go to Greece. He seems to have de-
parted clandestinely from the :Roman States,
because he is entered in the passport of
Mr. ALEXANDER DELLADECIMA, in whose
company he came to Argastoli as his valet-de-
chambre, by the name of LUIGI ANTONETTO.
According to a letter from Zante, PAUL
BUONAPARTE, whom the writer calls ANGELO,
arrived there on the 16th 'of this month, on which
day Lord COCHRANE'S schooner, the Unicorn,

young men, BUONAPARTE and,CocnRANE, in-
tended to set out together for Greece on the 17th.

JR,IVIN V. JOHNS.

This was an action to try the right to a certain
passage, adjacent to the Duke of Albemarle public-
house in Stratford-street, Piccadilly. It appeared
from the evidence that the passage in question was
formerly a part of the defendant's house under which
it runs, but that for above a century it was in the
possession of the several proprietors of the Duke of
Albemarle public-house.
Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 201.
