LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1829.

Honduras Papers have reached us to the 29th
June. Lieutenant-Colonel I\I'DONALD had
arrived in his Majesty's ship Victor, and been
sworn in Superintendant over the Colony. The
report of the death of Major-General CoDD,
on his way to England, had reached Belize.
The trucking system had terminated on the
30th of the preceding month, owing to the
rains having commenced, but not sufficient to
the wood down. The
bring
quantity of wood
was short of last year's cutting.
It appears by the accounts from Central Ame-
rica that the Salvador troops had been ordered
by their Government to withdraw within their
own State, and that MoßAzArr had determined
to remain in the capital, where a plan was in
progress to have him assassinated, and create a
counter-
revolution ; he, however, had deter-
mined to put to death several of the leading
men of the Guatemala party. Plunder was the
order of the day, and the Chiefs did not possess
sufficient determination to prevent it.

There is little or no further intelligence of
moment from the theatre of war. The reported

battle at Kirk-kilissa, which was so confidently
stated a few days since in the German Journals,
turns out to be a fabrication. On the 7th inst.,
when the latest accounts were despatched from
Constantinople, the Russian army was still at
some distance from that capital, though fears
were very generally entertained of their speedy
approach. Doubtless by this time they are
either in possession, or encamped close under
the walls of the " city of the Faithful."

The following are extracts from German Pa-
pers received this morning ;
ODESSA, AUG. s.—According to accounts from
Varna, of 18th (30th July), the sickness which pre-
vailed at that place in the month of June had
greatly abated in violence. The authorities are
now engaged in purifying the town. A great quan-
tity of effects belonging to the lazaretto are being
sent thither from this place, for that purpose.
We have observed before that we replied by farts
and geographical data to articles in foreign Journals
relating to the operations of our armies. Now we
have a crowd of facts to support our observations.
While foreign Journals are taking all possible pains:
to throw doubts on the defeat
.of the Grand Vizier
on the 11th June, and its consequences, arid be-
wilder themselves in dissertations to prove that the
Turkish army *as again concentrated at Shumla,'
and that the operations of the Russians were
checked by the impossibility of taking the key of
the Balkan, for the various names of which mountain
they ransack history, in order to give it a formidable
appearance, the Russian troops have answered
these erudite investigations by passing the famous
chain of mountains without troubling their heads
about' the unconquerable key. The intrenchments
on the Kamtchik, the artillery that defended them,
the fortresses of Messembria, Achioli, Aidos, and
Bourgas, are in our possession. We shall see what
aid military geographers will now be able to invent,
as well with respect to these events as to the un-
fortunate
position of the Grand Vizier, who is posted
at Shumla, while our army, with a fleet in the fine
harbour of Bourgas, effected its junction in the rear,
almost in the road from Shumla to Constantinople.
More than CO transports, with provisions and am-
munition of all kinds for the supply of the army, are
at this moment on the point of putting to sea.
These are facts, these are geographical data, these
are the answers to such diatribes. A few more such
answers and there will be nothing to discuss.
VIENNA, AUG. 17.—Metalliques, 99 5-16; Bank
Shares, 1,133.
CANEA, JULY 11.—The tranquillity which pre-
vails at this moment is a decisive proof of
.the
general lassitude. The Greek Government makes
continual efforts to keep tip irritation,war,and massa-
cres, but the native population is remiss in seconding
its view. The 100,000 cartridges sent last month,
have been expended in feux de joie, though the
orders of the President expressly directed that they
should be employed in taking some military position
from Mustapha Pacha. Mustapha Pacha now
makes use of the leisure which the Greeks
leave him, to establish•a very active police, and tb
prepare the way for the complete return of order.
He shews equal justice and rigour. No crime re-
mains unpunished, and the Greeks come with equal
confidence to ask his protection or to make corm:
plaints to him.
The Lionize French schooner arrived at Scala on
the Ist, in the evening, with M. Ant. Fometti, the
French Consul at this place. Mustapha Pacha sent
the next morning an cflicer of his household to com-
pliment hint, and a guard of honour of 100 horse-
men to escort him to the town. As soon as the
Consul appeared in the maritime quarter, the French
colours were. hoisted on the flag• staff of the Con-
sulate, and immediately saluted by the guns of the
fortress. Mr. Capogrosso, the English Consul, had
already repaired to his post some days before ; but
as he lauded very early from his vessel, which was
at anchor in the port of Canea, and had not a flag-
staff to hoist his colours, his installation took place
without the ceremonies usual on such an occasion ;
but his Excellency •Mustapha Pacha sent an officer
to inform him, that as soon as he should have got
his flag-staff, and hoist the colours of his Britannic
Majesty, he should have great pleasure in paying it
the same honours as had been shown to the French flag.

We gave yesterday a letter from, our intelli-
gent Correspondent at Paris ; we have this morn-
ing received the following fro:n the same source :
" PARIS, A UG. 26.

,4 In proportion as opportunities open to me
of observing the place which is held by the new
Ministry in public opinion, I am more and more
impressed with the conviction that it cannot
stand against the overwhelming tide which con-
tinues to set in against it. It is no doubt desi-
rable for France, as well as England, that a good
understanding should continue to subsist be-
tween the two countries ; and it was probably
because the English Journals were so generally
imbued with this idea, that they have lent their
powerful aid with so much unanimity to sup-
port the Cabinet of M. Polignac. It cannot be
forgotten, however, that the Prince, and his
chief coadjutor, Labourdonnaye, are decidedly and
irretrievably committed as ultra-royalists, and that
by whatever stratagem they may have crept into
power they must ever be opposed to the princi-
ples of constitutional freedom. Knowing, as I
do, the great weight which is given in Paris to
the opinions expressed by the leading journals
of London, I have been daily looking for that
change of sentiment at your side of the Chan-
nel, which for the last fortnight I have been
convinced must take place of those panegyrics
which have been so liberally bestowed on the
new Administration, and I am rejoiced to ob-
serve from your paper of Saturday last, that you
take such a decided lead in expressing the
opinion that the present order of things cannot
and ought not to last.

striking manner when formerly Prefect of La
Vendee. Another Prefecture, that of the
Rhine, has been given to the Baron Locna—rd"e
, ar
person who, in the time of Napoleon, and under

t

the auspices of NI. Benoist, when Minister d
the Interior, had contrived to raise himself from
one of the lowest official situations in the Bureau
of that Minister to the rank of Prefect. At the
time of the Restoration he held tl►e Prefecture
of Cantal, when he distinguished himself by the'
arrest of the gallant but unfortunate Marshal
Ney,—a circumstance which is said to have cow
tributed to his subsequent stability in -office uti.:l
der M. de Villele, as well as to his present ad-
vancement. A third appointment, which has
just taken place,—that of M. Jordan to the Pre-
fecture of Ille and Vilainc,—is, I believe, the,
most unpopular of the three. The new Prefect
bears no affinity to Camille Jordan, his cele-
brated namesake.

" All Paris is in a state of extreme agitation
to-day, with the trial of the Journal des Debuts,
for its attack on the new Ministry. The result
will not be known until after the departure of the
post, so that I shall not be. able to communicate
it. From the judgMents which have already
been pronounced in similar cases, it seems to
be understood among the best-informed per'
sons about the Palais de Justice, that send.
tence of imprisonment for r. considerable period,
besides a fine of more moderate amount, will
certainly be awarded. The terrors of impend-
ing punishment have not, however, deterred the
conductors of this able and spirited journal from
doing that which they conceive to be their duty,
although they cannot fail to be aware that the
unremitting castigation which they have con-
tinued to inflict on the party in power, will cer-
tainly be urged against them in aggravation.
All the talent of the bar seems to be engaged on
the popular side, and under the protection of
their professional privilege, they indulge them-
selves in a strain of invective which certainly
proves that one channel, at least, is open to the
free expression of popular opinions. Whatever
be the amount of the punishment, an appeal
will undoubtedly be taken for the purpose of
affording fresh scope for agitation, which seems
to be here quite as well understood, and as'
actively practised, as it was on a late memorable
occasion in another country. The Constitu-

tionnel of this morning illustrates the case of
the Journal des Dehats by a sort of
apologue, which is said to be founded on
historical fact. A King of France was about
to throw himself over a precipice during a mo-
tnentary aberration of intellect, when one of his
most faithful servants having ventured to inter-
pose, restrained his master in the attempt and,
so saved his life. Some time afterwards This
generous action was represented by the minions
of the Court as an attempt to curb the royal will,
before uhich they said every thing should yield
under the pains of treason, and this faithful
servant was condemned to expiate. on the scaffold
the rash service he had thus rendered to his
Prinee:

" M. Deval, the late French Consul at
Algiers, has died suddenly of apoplexy. A few.
weeks ago the death of this gentleman would
have removed one of the obstacles to an amicable
arrangement with the Dey, who refused to
submit to the condition. insisted on by France,
and which the Dey regarded as a degradation of
again receiving M. Deval in his official capacity.
There was besides a difference of some millions
of francs between the sum claimed by the Dey,
and that acknowledged to be due to him by the
French Government. Now that the personal.
obstacle is removed, will the Dey be disposed to
make the death of M. Deval an apology . fer -
yielding, or will France send another Consul to
Algiers with some extra millions ?
" At a banquet lately given at Puy by the
Marquis Lafayette, one of toasts was France
—let her strive to maintain what she possesses
to obtain what she wants.' A sentiment which
I believe to be very generally entertained by men
of all ranks in this country. The Gazette, how-
ever, observes upon it, She hai liberty, she has
licence ; what more does she want ? Revolution•
" Mademoiselle Sontag is at present at Dieppe
for the benefit of sea bathing. She returns to
Paris at the end of the month to repeat her
favourite performances in the Semiramide, the
Donna di Lago, the Barbiere di Siviglia,
She then leaves France for Berlin, where she is
engaged as first singer in the Chapel Royal of
the King of Prussia.

Mr. Young, the tragedian, has just arrived in
Paris.

In another column we give an abstract from
the Times, of the Reports lately presented to
Parliament by Mr. TELFORD, touching the im-
provement of the Mail Road to Liverpool, and
various suggestions for shortening the distance.
In the judicious remarks of our Contemporary
we perfectly agree, with the exception of that
portion which refers to the saving of four miles,
because the expellee would be 80,0001., while
the time gained would " only be half an hour."
And we will state our reasons. In the first
place, as the communication between Liverpool
anti London is among the most important, if
not the most important in commercial mat-
ters of any town in the kingdom, we think
that every minute which can be saved ought to be
saved. Secondly, if it be really worth the while
to save a space of four miles, 819 yards, at an
expellee of 69,4501. 12s. 6d. it is surely as
" prudent," since the saving of distance is every-
thing, to expend 80,0001. more to save a dis-
tance of four miles, 328 yards—the distance
being nearly equal, and the additional outlay
only about 10,000/. Thirdly, though economy
he very desirable, we ask whether, if expense 15
to be incurred at all, the sum of 80,000/., for an
advantage so immediate and so manifest, is to
be gi edged, when the occasion is not for a tem-
porary purpose, but for all time ? The interest
of 80,0001. is only 4,0001. at 5 per cent., and will
any man contend that the sum of 4,000/. is to be
put in competition with the permanent advan•
tages derivable from so great an improvement ?

,
I

Nay, more—we have sect' so much public spirit
manifested by the merchants of Liverpool, that
we think rather than lcse the additional saving of
distance and time, they would advance the
80,0001. themselves. But if there are improve-
ments to be made at all, why not have the best ?
It is pitiable to see such a niggardly spirit dis-
played in matters that so immediately concern
the general interests of the country, whe►► mil-
lions are squandered upon the fictitious wants
of parties that shall be nameless, and tens of
millions—shall we say hundreds of millions, la-
vished on objects in %Nhich the people of this
f' country had no real interest.
But there are several other advantages which
would result from the additional saving of the
half hour : the London post would be in time
En the Dublin packet from Liverpool—for the
north mail at four o'clock, and for all the cross
mails.

A whole day would be saved in many in-
stances by ships sailing to foreign ports with the
afternoon tide, which would otherwise have to
wait. But the advantages are so evident, that
Yre need not enumerate them.

CITY, TwisLrE o' Cr.ocr.

This being pay day for the differences of the ac-
counts in Consols, two failures have already taken
place• One of minor importance has been de-
clared in the house, hut the other, whose dif-
ferences are from five to six thousand pounds, has
not as yet been exposed, and some fears are enter-
tained that others will be announced in the course of
the day: Consols, which left off yesterday at 893for October Account, opened at 89i and for money
89 to i; the business doing at present is not of
magnitude.

Another Stock Exchange report has been invented
this morning, that the great success of the Russians,
and the Sultan's imminent danger, has caused him to
go mad; in consequence of which he has been
deposed,
and terms of peace have been offered to
the Russians.
Accounts from Egina of the sth July state that
the Sultan has ordered to get together all the corn
'll the provinces of Thessaly and Epirus, anti to send
)t to the fortresses ; this has caused great distress to
the Christians in the above provinces. The Turks
havesignified to them that they will give them pro-
‘lstons provided they embrace the Alallornetan re-
ligion ; several families from fear of starvation have
accepted the offer.
Accounts from the Lower Elbe, of the 16th Au-
Rust, say that the last news from St. Petersburgh
confirms the sailing of a Russian squadron from
Cronstadt, and that the Russian ships which pass the
~,,Sound are only to replace those returning from the
Mediterranean. The other ships of the squadron
11111 remain in the Baltic for the exercise of the crews.
We have an arrival from Jamaica of the 11th
-41 Y) five days later than the last accounts, but no
papers have as yet come to hand.
Our arrivals are very few this morning, and of
little import.

In this day's market, the supply of which was mode 7
rately good throughout for that of a Friday, though exempt
from any thing of very superior quality, each kind of meat
met with a very dull sale—Veal at an advance of about
2,1. per stone ; Beef, Mutton, Lamb, and Pork, at barely
Monday's quotations.
