IMPROVEMENTS AT CAMBRIDGE.

The extensive additions and alterations lately
made to some of the Colleges in Cambridge,
and the improvements still in pogress, reflect
equal honour on the taste and liberality .of the
tads of the University, and the architectural
skill and genius of the age. The most conspi-
cuous of the recent. improvements, are the new'
buildings erected at King's College, which prin-
cipally consist of an extensive wing on the south
side, in a line parallel with the celebrated Chapel
of King's. In the centre:is the porter's lodge,
the exquisite proportions, elegance, and perfect
execution of which can be surpassed only by the
Chapel itself. - The latter, however,' like some
of the splendid paintings of the ol&masters,
seems to bid defiance to all modern imitation :
and hence the new buildings, which, if isolated,
or in a.situation whence the contrast would be
less obVionS, would call fbrth unbounded admi-
ration, are here " shorn of. their beams," and
appear comparatively insignificant by the side of
this majestic pile. Yet, when this first feeling
has subsided, and we proceed to a deliberate
examination of these rival works of art, we %hall
find that the workmanship of the modern build-
ings is fully equal, if not superior, to that of the
ancient ; it:is chiefly in the vastness of their un-
dertakings, and the unequalled beauty .and ori-
ginality of their designs, that we are outdone
by the ancient architects. The right hand of
the English artificer has lost none of its sun-
sling, though only employed in copying after
former models.

In addition to the Lodge, the south wing of
King's College contains the • Hall, and a vast
number of apartments for the students, hitherto
scattered over the town in lodgings, for want of
accommodation at the College. The style of
the architecture harmonises with that of the
chapel,. which it is almost needless to say is the
beautiful ornamented Gothic, which reached its
climax of perfection in the reign of Henry VII.
The whole of these improvements are highly cre-
ditable to the taste and ability of the architect,
Mr. Wilkins. -

•
• To Bennet College a nevi square of buildings
has been added, with an extensive entrance front
on the west side, along Trumpington-street,
where " goe,th a brook," as Chaucer said full four
hundred years Ago. The chapel is on the east,
opposite the entrance, the Hall on the north, and
the Library cin the south. Here also is an ex-
tensive range of apartments for students Inside
the square, the buildings present a remarkably
neat and classic appearance, the effect of which
is, perhaps, improved by the interior space being
covered, as in the other Colleges, with fresh
green turf, as trim and smooth as_ the verses of
Pope, which, according to Dr. Johnson's well-
known simile, were " shaven by the scythe, and
levelled with the roller."
An additional square to St. John's College is
now the course of erection on the western, or
opposites side of the. Cam, which, it is calculated,
will cost up•,
-ards of 30,000/. A communica-
tion between the new and old .buildings will be
.an elegant bridge, intended
effected by means of
to be thrown across the river.
In the Fitzwilliam Museum there is a drawing
of,a proposed improvement in the building% ex-
tending along Trumpington-street, in which the
front of ails College is removed, anti the
whole line of street thrown open, when
King's College, the University Library, the Se-
nate House, Caius, Trinity, and St. John's
Colleges, appear in regular succession, in one
liubroken view. This coup dwil, if effected,

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de Fraezec, Sept. 24.)

We learn that the note- which accompanied the
delivery of the Treaty of the three Powers to the
Porte, contained the proposal of an armistice, with
the menace of recourse being bad to all the means
necessary to attain the object of the Alliance. It is
affirmed, that the Sultan is resolved to come to the
last extremity, and even to an open rupture. It is
probably this resolution which has induced • the
Ambassadors of the Allied Courts to embark their
families, who are already on board.
Constantinople still enjoys tranquillity, but mea-
sures are taking with great promptitude to put the
Dardanelles in a state of defence.

The despatch from the British Envoy at the Court
of PerSia to Mr. Stratford Canning, transmits to
him, as we are assured, the news of :brilliant victory
gained by the .Russians on the right bank of the
Araxes. The total loss of the Persians is stated at
40,000 men, and that of the conquerors at 11,000,
whidltis probably exaggerated.--Angsburgh Gazette.
:Moscow, AUG.. 27.—,-The news of the important
victory gained over the Persians near Djeven Bou-
lak was announced on the 12th to the inhabitants
of this capital, by an interesting and memorable so-
lemnity. After the 'Pc Dezem, which was performed
in the Church of the Monastery of Tchoudoff, and
followed by a salute,of artillery, the four standards
taken from the Persians, as well as the key of the
other fortress of Abbas Abad, were carried in triumph
through the streets of Moscow, escorted by the
Commandant and the Chief Director of the Police;
these glorious trophies were afterwards deposited in
the Monastery of Tehoudoff.--Northern Bee.
The Journal of the Mines announces the dis-
covery of five veins of lead near the village of Nsi-
golonia, in the territory of the Don Cossacks. From
the assays that have been made, it appears the ore
contains 60-100 of lead, and 1-3840 of silver.
VIENNA; SEPT. 14.—The merchants have re-
ceived a multitude of letters, confirming all the
news of the rejection of the Ultimatum of the three
Powers. But the Austrian Observer of this day is
still silent on the subject.
It is affirmed that the Infant Don Miguel will
leave Vienna in a fortnight. His, afthbility has ac-
quired him universal regard during the twelve
months that he hai passed in this capital.
The Metalliques are to-day at 92, and the Bank
Shares 1088.

PARIS, SEPT. 23.—A foreign journal announces
that the English Parliament will meet in November.
We do not believe it will meet before February ; it
is to Le presumed that the Session of the Chambers
in France will open about the same time.
We learn by a letter from Toulon of the 17th
September, that his Majesty's brig La Champenoise
is going to sail again for Algiers ; this is the vessel
on board which, M. Duval, the Consul, returned to
France. It is affirmed, that his successor is ap-
pointed, and that our differences with the Dey of
Algiers have been adjusted on conditions advanta-
geous to our commerce;

(From the Moniteur of Sept. 23.)

PARIS, SEPT. 22.—The Jouriial der Debats is
astonished and alarmed at our silence respecting the
affairs of•the East,'which.it has not patience to suffer
to come to maturity. 'We thank it for the justice
which it does us. Our long nap respecting the
affairs of Portugal, so well justified by the event,
has, doubtless, taught it, at the same time, that it
has proved to our readers that do not like to
speak unless to the purpose.
Public opinion knows now where to look for in-
formation, and we may believe ourselves' dispensed
from answering to all the calls of the public Journals,
and from refuting their false news, or their random
conjectures, till we are able to do so in a manner
useful for the instruction of the well-disposed,
and for the security of the legitimate interests.
The public must have learned' circumspection and
patience respecting the news given it by Journals
which formally announced the passage of the Pruth
by the Russian army three years ago. For oar parts
we have confined ourselves, and shall do so en all
occasions, not to speak except with confidence and
conviction, of affairs such as those which are-now in
agitation.
.The Gazette de Fiance, without quoting the Mo-
niteur, inserts the above article.
(From the Constitutionnd.)

VIENNA, SEPT. 13.—Letters from Constantino-
ple, dated the 31st of August, mention that the
Porte has not accepted the Treaty of Pacification
of Greece, transmitted by the three Powers. The
L►fant Don Miguel had yesterday received a courier
from Rio Janeiro, and from that moment prepara-
tions for departure have been observed in his palace.
It is said that after a short ,excursion into the vici-
nity, and to the chapel of the. Virgin Mary, a cele-
brated place of pilgrimage, he will sojourn a few
days longer in this capital, and then proceed to Lis-
bon, accompanied by Count Lebzeltern, formerly
Austrian Ambassador at the Court of Petersburgh.
(From the ConstitutionneL)

PARIS, SEPT. 22.—A letter from Perpignan, of
Sept. 14, says, " It is not surprising that the divi-
sions of the rebels augment daily in a formidable
manner. The following is a circular of the Com-
mandant Mariano Vilella, which he has sent to all
the towns under his command, in order to assemble
a large body of men for the blockade of Girona :

"THIRD DIVISION OF THE ROYALIST ARMY.

" It is necessary for the good of the service of the
King, our Master, Don Ferdinand VII. (whom
may God preserve), that all men should lend their
aid in the just cause we defend.. I order you, there-
fore, as soon as you shall have received these pre-
sents, to direct the Commandant of the Royalist vo-
lunteers of your Commune, if there be any, to re-
, pair immediately to ()lot, with all the men under
his command. You will, at the same time, direct
all the men in a state to bear arms to repair imme-
diately to the same place; giving you notice, that
you as well as the Commandant and all others who
shall in the least delay obeying these orders, or shall
refuse so to do, shall be punished by a fine of
3,000 francs, and shot, if the degree of resistance
be great.
" cod preserve you for many years.
" Olot, Sept. 5, 1827.

" To the Bailey of the Commune of

General Manso has taken up a position at Hos-
mirk+, and Colonel Besse,. who is at Girona, stirs
not, although some parties of armed men hover
round the town. Some gentlemen at Conmajor
appear fixed. Their inaction must be attributed to
the following Proclamation
Don Juan Antonio Monet, Field-Marshal, &c. &c.,
and Commandant-General of the Army of Ope-
ration of this Principality. -
Catalonians !—The 3d article of the King's order,
of the 31st of the last month, published on the Bth
justant by his Excellency the Captain-General of
this Army and Principality, has informed you of
the difficult and positive commission which the
King our master has deigned personally, and by his
Ministers, to confide to me. It contains the most
formal instructions to put down the horrible revolu-
tion which has broken out in the country, and which
has been provoked by a portion of its unnatural
children, disobeying in the .most criminal manner
our :beloved Sovereign and his laws, by opening a
wound which must destroy all the industry of Cata-
lonia at the very time that all worthy people of the
Province, with the greatest pains, endeavour to wipe
away' the remembrance of all past misfortnnes. The
above named Royal Order shows with the greatest
clearness the atrocious object of the revolt, and that
secret document, and all that the Captain-General,
the Royal Audiencia, and the Criminal Chamber,
have ordered respecting these unhappy transactions,
convict of high treason these very Chiefs, who can-
not but feel themselves to be guilty, whatever senti-
inents they must feel to tin' ;;qtrary,-,
Therefore, wbat I say is not to convince the
inalefactots of their crime, but only to make known
the decisive steps • I must take exactly to fulfil my

duty, and for the service of the King, our master,
under whatever circumstances I may find myself.
Therefore, with the approbation of the Captain-
General, I have determined as follows :

Article I.—Pardon is granted to all those who
have joined the Revolutionists, who at this moment
afflict and devastate the industrious province of
Catalonia, provided they return to their homes before
the 23th of this month, giving up their arms and
ammunition to the military authorities, or to the
Bellies of their Communes. • 1 fix this term con-
formably to his- Majesty's benevolent intentions.
Art.2.—Tlte leaders of bands are not comprised in
the first article, as they will-be punished with all the
rigour of the law.
Art. 3.—The towns who joined the revolt, sound-
ing the tocsin, :provided they do not relapse after
this publication, are comprehended in the pardon.
Art. 4..—The Baillies will collect the arms they
shall receive, in consequence of Art. 1; and give
them up to the nearest military authority, taking a
receipt for them, specifying when 'they give them
up, and those belonging to RoyaliSt Volunteers.
General JUAN ANTONIO MONET.

Barcelona, Sept. 13, 1827.
• (From the Constitutionnel.)

PARIS, SEPT: 23.--The important news of the
rejection by the Porte of all interference in the
affairs of the Levant, is now fully confirmed. The
itioniteur has said nothing on the subject yet, but
we believe that the courier who has brought the an-
swer of the Divan arrived in Paris on the night of
the 19th and 20th inst. According to the Gazette
d' Augsburg, as soon as the haughty answer of the
Reis Effendi was received, the Ambassadors of the
three Powers, who signed the Treaty of London,
sent away their wives from Constantinople. The
partisans of the statu quo entrench themselves behind
the old system of policy followed by the Divan,
from which it will not depart, and which tends to
prolong any negociation, the result of which seems
likely to be disagreeable; but it is in vain to speak and
act, the great disputes which have now lasted six years,
approach a termination. Even .the Moniteur is of
this opinion, and has explained itself clearly. The
Turks, it is said, will never give way; and, on the
other hand, the Powers are anxious- to avoid an
open rupture. No doubt the Powers are united
among themselves, and their actions will be the con-
sequence of their words and their treaties. It is
now certain that they will maintain the species of
blockade, by means of which all communications
between Turkey and Greece will be cut off by the
combined fleets: Either the Divan will give way,
or it must make. war, and no possible combination
can escape this dilemma. In the present state of
things what is most important to know is the atti-
tude which will be taken, .or perhaps it has already
been taken, by the Russian army on the banks of
the Pruth.

(Froth the Courrier Francais.)

PARIS, SEPT. 23.—The uncertainty which the
cunning policy of the Divan, and the inexhaustible
patience of the European Cabinets have hitherto
thrown over the affairs of the East, is about to have
an end. The Treaty concluded between the three
Great Powers cannot remain barren, like the diplo-
matic notes which preceded it. The Porte has
given up its means of delay. Accustomed to regard
as mere words the threats of the Christian Powers,
it thought the new Treaty merited no more atten-
tion than the representations it has mocked at so often.
The answer of the Reis Effendi has-not, perhaps,
yet closed all the doors' against a settlement ; and
the Ambassadors seem to have thought so, for they
remained at their posts after this answer, and made
another communication to the Divan. But the
Pacha of Egypt, (leaf to the representations of the
European Consuls, has sent out from Alexandria
the fleet destined to succour Ibrahim. This fleet,
therefore, must already have met with the squadron
destined to atop its passage. • If it employed force,
the result cannot have been doubtful. The three
Powers have at present nothing to rely on but their
own firmness and energy. The least hesitation will
only make the Divan more (intractable. It is no
longer the rescue of Greece which the Powers have
to accomplish—they must also maintain their own
honour anctOiemitv.

THE REV. MR. IVATEZIO 11,

(EXTRACT FROM A LETTER.)

A tomb is about to be erected ever the re-
mains of the late singular and unfortunate Rector
of Little Stukely, and is now exhibited on the
premises of the lapidary artist, at Huntingdon.—.
According to immemorial wont and usage, a copy
of verses is appended to the inscription, which,
in point of style, taste, and orthography, are on
a par with the " uncouth rhymes alluded to by
Gray. This branch of English literature has
Certainly remained stationary during the last cen-
tury. We transcribe the whole of the inscrip-
tion :

Sacred to the Memory of the Rev. Joshua Water-
house, 8.D., nearly 40 years Fellow of fiatherine flail,
Cambridge, Chaplain to. his Majesty, Rector of this Parish,
and of Coton, near Cambridge, who was inhumanly mur-
dered in this parsonage' house, about ten o'clock on the
morning of July 3d; 1827, aged 81.
Beneath this Tomb his Mangled body :s laid
Cut Stabb'd and Murdered by Joshua Slade ;
Ilis ghastly Wounds a horrid sight to see,
And hurl'd at once into Eternity.
'What faults you've seen in him take care to shun.
And look at home, enough there's to he done ;
Death does not allways warning give,
Therefore be carefull how you live."
(I have adhered to the capitals and spelling
of the original.) •

The Lord High Admiral, at Poitsmouth, ran
his cabriolet against a post, "Ah ! my Royal shipmate,"
exclaimed au old tar, " where was the rudder when you

tried and acquitted at the Sprinc, Assizes for Somerset, on
suspicion of stealing 75/. which had been lest dnring the

the loss has since been referred to an eminent Barrister on
the Western Circuit, who has awarded that the landlord is
liable for the loan—Exeter Alfred.

Yesterday morning, at balf-past five o'clock,
the premises occupied by Mr. Anderson, fruiterer, 11,
Newington-causeway, were diecoveted to be on fire, and
shortly after the flames burst forth with great fury, and
communicated to the adjoining house of Mr. Lee, stationer,
both of which were totally eonsumed. The floor-sloth
manufactory on the other' side was also slightly injured.
It is a most happy circumstance that, notwithstanding the
rapidity with which the flames spread, the premises being
to say, in
old, and principally composed of wood, none of the inmates
received the slightest injury. The calamity is attributed
to the carelessness of a child left to light the fire. Mr.
Anderson, we understand, was insured in' the County;

taken three prisoners, and being asked by his officer
how he had been able single-handed to accomplish such
a feat, swore most lustily that he had surrounded them ;
a countryman, however, in the neighbourhood 0 Crosth-

tinman, and a watchmaker ! These valiaut heroes had
gone into a wood somewhere in Crosthwaite or the neigh-
bourhood—the exact whereabout our " deponent sayeth
not"—to gather nuts, and as Providence has kindly loaded
the trees with the tempting fruit, they were not long in
providing themselves with an ample store. The owner of
the wood, however espied the marauders, and thinking his
claim to the nuts superior to any other man's, determined
on making them deliver up their spoil, and accordingly
went up to the startled tailors and demanded instant deli-
very. The poor knights of the thimble, having neither
bodkin nor lapboard wherewith to defend themselves,
threw down the nuts at the feet of their one antagonist and
fled ! Nay, in such a hurry were they, that one of them
left his pillow-ease behind ; and their conqueror declares,
that. had they not run so quirk, he would have stropped
them together as they do onions upon a stick, and bundled
'them off to Kendal in the same. cart with hie geese.—

LONDON,
N‘ D-N F SDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1827.

We received last night the Paris Papers of
Sunday, and the Gazette de France dated Mon-
day morning. The latter copies an article from
the Augsburg Gazette, which asserts that the
Note which accompanied the delivery of the
Treaty of the three Powers to the Porte, con-
tained the proposal of an armistice, with the
menace of recourse being had to all the means
necessary to attain the object of the alliance ;
!nit, it adds, that the SULTAN is resolved to
come to the last extremity, and even to an open
rupture. The same article states, that Mr.
STRATIORD CANNING had received a despatch
from the British Envoy at the Court of Persia,
announcing that a brilliant victory had been
(rained by the Russians on the right bank of the
Araxes, in which the Persians lost 40,000 men,
while the loss of the victorious army was 11,000.
We very much doubt this statement, and con-
clude that it refers to the less important success
which we have already heard of through the St.
Petersburg!' Papers.
It is stated from Vienna, that the merchants
have received a multitude of letters confirming
the news of the rejection of the Ultimatum by
the Turkish Government. The Austrian Ob-
server is, however, still silent on the subject,
and the Moniteur will not be induced by the
sneers of other papers to say a word on the sub-
ject, preferring, as it asserts, to follow the same

The news of the Treaty for the Pacifica-
tion of Greece appears to have produced the
happiest effects as soon as it was known in
that unfortunate country. Dissensions instantly
ceased, and all hastened to take part in the
-fescue of their country. The following ex-
tract of a letter from M. LURIOTTIS, late one
of the Greek. Deputies in London, will be read
with the deepest interest by those who have
anxiously watched, as we have done, the fate of
Greece, and the dawn of-brighter days opening
upon her :
_ _

" Leghorn, Sept. 10.

" I have this moment seen a letter from the Peloponue-
sue, dated 13th August, which says, that scarcely bad the
news of the treaty between England; France, and Russia,
been made known, than'the dissensions of all parties ceased,
and the whole of the Palicari•hastened to range themselves
under their respective Capitani, to march against the enemy.
In the space of a few days two corps were formed—one to
proceed in the direction of Vostitza, and the other against
Patras. General Church was encamped near Corinth,
with 3,000 men: :The troubles at Napoli have been suc-
ceeded by the greatest harmony is all parts of Greece.
• " The enthusiasm which now prevails cannot• be ex-
ceeded. The loss of Karaiskaki •is deplored, but that of
the Acropolis still more so. Had that important fortress
held cut but a few days longer, all would have been well.
--A great mystery hangs over its fall, which nothing but
time can remove:" •

• We have received Newfoundland Papers to
the 51i inst. but their contents are unimportant ;
theyliad received the account of the death of Mr.
CANNING, which had occasioned painful feel-
ings of regret in the Island.

His Majesty's cutter Vigilant has arrived,
with a Lisbon mail, bringing letters and' papers to
the 16th inst. The PRINCESS REGENT seems
to takc the most effectual steps for precipitating
the downfal of the Constitution, by repeatedly
changing the Ministry, and replacing it at each
successive change with men who are more
and more averse to the Constitution. Such
insidious conduct must naturally paralyse the ad-
ministration of justice, and damp the hopes of
those who are well disposed to the free principles
of the Constitution. That the Apostolicals have
gained the ascendancy in Portugal there can be
no doubt. They have compassed by intrigue what
they could not accomplishby force. They are at
present, by controlling the actions of the PRIN-
CESS REGENT, as much at the head of affairs as if
Don MIGUEL ruled in Lisbon. Our private ac-
counts corroborate the weakness or wickedness,
it matters little which, of the Princess—and if
she persists in the same line of policy, the con-
tinuance of our army in Portugal is perfectly
ridiculous. They must either be considerably
reinforced, or quit the country altogether :

moms, SEPT. 10.

The Gazette of this date contains, in the official part,
four resolutions of the Princess Regent, in the usual form,
of the following tenor •4
1. Appoints the Dezembargador, Jose Freire An-
drade, to the office •of Minister Secretary of State for
Ecclesiastical Affairi and Justice.

2. Considering the representations of the Conde da
Ponte, Minister at War, and acting also ad interifh hs
Minister of Foreign Affairs, her Highness is pleased to
exonerate him from both offices.

S. Appoints the Councillor, Candido Jose Xavier, to
fill bdth the offices held by the Conde da
4. Considering the representation! of the Conde da Ponte,
her Highness allows him to resign the post of Colonel of
the 7th regiment of cavalry.

These four resolutions are dated from the Palace of
Ajuda, the first three the 7th, and the 4th the Bth of
September.

SHPT. 12.—The Gazette contains a letter from
the Minister of Finance to the Corregidor of Evora
Estreino, severely reprimanding him for his negli-
gence in not collecting the arrears due to the
Royal Treasury, and especially for the enormous
debt due by the Receiver-General of the Excise, whose
property l►e is ordered immediately to seize, for the benefit
of the' Exchequer ; various directions are given him, and
the whole concludes with a threat, that if he neglects this
order, his own property will be sequestrated in behalf of
the treasury.
. SEPT. 15.—(OFFICIAL.)—It having been shown to me
that the Journal called the Trombeta Final has net only
used expressions disrespectful to the Government, but that
it continues to use language calculated to excite animosity
and party violence, which' unhappily threaten the public
tranquillity, for the preservation of which, and the entire
reconcilement of the people, the Government and subaltern
officers in their several departments ought to employ the
Means most conducive to so important an end, and it being
certain that such journals are published with the sanction of
the Censor or Censors who examine them, and on whom
the greatest responsibility therefore falls, I think fit, in the
name of the King, to dismiss the Censor or Censors of that
Journal, who permitted doctrines to -be circulated which are
so contrary to the respect due to the Crown and to •the
public tranquillity.

Palace of Ajuda, Sept. 13, 1827.

ITamburgh Papers of the 22d inst. have
reached us this morning. They contain no
political news, but give a most milanoholy
account of a dreadful catastrophe which has be-
fallen the city of Abo, the capital of Finland.—
Nearly the whole of the town, the Cathedral,
including its library and museum, the Courts of
Justice, bridge, &c., have been destroyed by a
terrible conflagration, which raged with such vio-
lence, that only thirty houses have escaped.—
Above one hundred persons perished in the
flames, and the unfortunate inhabitants, to the
number of 11,000, are left in a state of perfect
destitution.

The Official Gazette of Sweden, contains the
Royal Resolutions, which were communicated to
the Norwegian Storthing, before the close of the
Sesstons, disapproving of various acts of that
body. We must refer for particulars to the fol-
lowing extracts

ADO, SEPT. 7.

At•nine o'clock in the evening of the 4th instant, this
town was visited by a dreadful conflagration, which, after
raging for twenty-four hours, ended with the' almost total
destruction of the place. The fire broke out in- the houSe
of M. Hellman, a merchant, whose people were engaged
in melting tallow, and to escape the penalty attached to the
carrying on such a business in the town, endeavoured to
conceal the fire as long as they could, anti closed the doors.
In five minutes the whole was reduced to ashes. .The fire
spread in three directions, and was soon universal. The
Cathedral is totally destroyed, with every thing it con-
taiced, the archives of the consistory, &c. Of our cele-
brated University nothing reMains but the Observatory ;
all the buildings of the Academy, with the valuable collec-
tiOns, the library of 40,000 volumes, the cabinet of medals,
the collection of instruments, the Custom-house, the Court

of Jotice with the are hive!, the Town-ball, and above 900
•
houses, are destroyed ; the bridge has fallen in. Only'
about thirty houses ha ye estared, and the inhabitants,

11,000 in number, have lost every thing.

perished in the flames. The General Insurance Company
in this city has to pay 300,400 dollars to the inhabitants of
Abo on this Occasion.

The Official Gazette contains the following Royal reso-
lution,liated .August-7, which was eommunioated to the
Norwegian Storthing before the close of the' session. His
Majesty finds that the sums which the Storthing has
granted for objects of general utility, proposed by his Ma-
jesty, are, on the whole, insufficient; his Majesty views with
4isapprobation the considerable• reductions which the Stor-
thing has made in the sums proposed for the fleet and the
army, as those' important branches of the public Ad-
Ministration are intimately connected with the freedom
and independence of Norway, as well as of the whole Penin-
sula. The sum which the Storthing allots for diplomatic
purposes corresponds neither with the wishes which the
Storthing expressed in its humble address of the 27th of
July, nor with the proportionable share which NOrWay
should contribute to -those expences which concern both
Kingdoms. His Majesty will canse detailed tables to be
drawn up, whiert will prove the disproportion alluded to.
His Majesty will consider and determine, according to cir-
cumstances; the measures which he may consider as com-
patible with the advantage and welfare of Norway.

PETEP.SEURGH, SEPT. 8.
Four Senators set out last week for Warsaw to be present
at the meeting of the tribunal of the Kingdom, to decide
in the affair of the person' concerned in the conspiracy.'

The utmost anxiety prevails for further news
from the' Turkish Capital. No just grounds
remain for hope that the SULTAN will give way,
but still, while the die it not Positively cast, it is
thought by some that a chance remains of a dif-
ferent line of policy' being finally agreed to. For
ourselvs, we do not entertain such .a.'h4e, and
we consider the circumstance 'f the Ambas-
sadors having shortened the period originally
fixed for the decision Of the SULTAN to fifteen
days, as prod- of their being previously well
aware both of what would be his Highness's
determination, and of the part Which the PAcuA
Of EGYPT would adopt. The preparations of
the latter for sending reinforcements to Greece,
must have been known at Constantinople, and
the arrival of the expedition at Rhodes, without
.
doubt, acted as a stimulus to the Ambassadors
to hasten their measures, while it would at the
,
same time encourage the. Yorte to persevere in ,
resistance to the wishes of the 'three Powers:---
But the fidelity of the PAcHA of EGYPT, how-
ever important to the SULTAN, would not aloud
have influenced his •decision. He must have
received communications and assurances froity
other Powers of greater consequence before he
risked the vengeance of the Triple Alliance,
as it has been
cwialled.

which is likely to ensue ; and, if the accounts in

the German papers can be depended upon, she
is about to place herself in such an attitude, by
forming an Army of Observation on the Turkish
frontier, as will enable her to interfere, provided
the views of Russia should, as we have always,
predicted they would, extend beyond the simple
pacification of Greece. That object is the osten-
sible one with Russia—but the real one is to
extend her Eastern frontier, so as to bring 'her
naval resources in the Black Sea into operation
in the Mediterranean. Every information which,
reaches us confirms our opinion of this being
the ultimate object of Russia. Why, if such iS.
not the case, should the Aussian Army cross tlic
Pruth, as it is distinctly, stated it is to do, pro-
vided Turkey does not accede ? That was not
a stipulation of the Treaty ; and if there is any
secret article allowing it, Austria may well feel
alarm at the existence of such a Treaty. The,
fact, however, will prove to be, that no such
secret condition has been entered into, and that
if the Russian Army should actually cross the
Pruth, and commence hostilities with Turkel?.
Russia will take a step which was not conteni-
plated, and has not been sanctioned by her allies-
