LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 3, 1827.

In another column will be found a highly-
important State Paper, (for which we are indebt-
ed to our cotemporary the Times, from whose
columns we copy it,) namely, the Manifesto of
the Ottoman Porte, delivered on the 9th and
10th June by the Reis Effendi to the Drago-
mans of the English, French, Russian, Austrian,
and Prussian Ministers.

Without following this Manifesto through the
reasoning it adopts to prove that other coun-
tries are not justified in interfering with matters
which belong alone to the Turkish Government,
and which were admitted at Verona, and subse-
quently, to concern the Porte only ; and passing
over its ingenious arguments to justify the mea-
sures which the SULTAN has adopted towards
the revolting Greeks, it is sufficient to look at its
general tone, and final declaration, which, in our
opinion, preclude all expectation that the Porte
will accede to the propositions made by the
Allied Powers, under the Treaty lately entered
into, which Treaty was signed subsequently to
the date of this Manifesto, and probably with
the knowledge of it. We find in this document
none of that indecision and double meaning
which usually characterise the State Papers of
the - Turks, but it distinctly declares that the
Sublime Porte will never listen to such proposi
tions—to propositions which it will neither hear
nor understand, nor give the slightest counten-
ance to. After such a declaration, and with the
knowledge which we possess of the personal
character of the SULTAN, it is not to be sup-
posed that he will immediately afterwards yield
to time same propositions, though backed by the
threats of the Allied Powers ; and therefore we
must naturally infer that those ulterior measures
which the secret Article of the Treaty contem-
plated, must, in all probability, be resorted to.

We received last night the Paris Papers of
Tuesday, and the Gazette de France, dated
Wednesday morning, of which the following are
extracts. It will be observed that the proba-
bility of the Paella of EGYPT declaring him-
self independent of the Porte is spoken of from
various quarters ; and that this important
measure, if adopted, will have been brought
about by negociations carried on with gnu°.
MET-ALI by M. DROVETTI, Consul-General
of France at Alexandria.

The Dev of ALGIERS appears determined to
resist the attack of the French force by every
means in his power, and has excited the popula-
tiOn to support him, by the powerful stimulus of
religious enthusiasm. We suspect, however,
that they have not much to fear from the French
squadron before their port :

ST. PETERSBURGH, JULY 14.—0 n the 11th there was
a violent hurricane, the wind being East, which in the
evening veered to the North-west, and caused the Neva to
overflow during the night, so that it was necessary to fire
signals of alarm. The clouds, at the same time, were ex-
ceedingly dense and heavy, and continued rain fell. The
state of the atmosphere remained the same, during the
whole of the 12th. till the evening, when the wind veered,
and soon fell entirely.
HANOVER, JULY 22.—The powder-mill, situated on
the builliage of Tallingsbortel, exploded on the Sd. The
quantity of powder in it was considerable, but the work-
men were fortunately absent, and nobody was hurt. In a
fire which lately took place at Minden, water, in which
alum had been dissolved, was found to be very efficacious in
extinguishing the flames. It has been resolved, in conse-
quence, to keep a considerable quantity of this solution
constantly in reserve.
(From the Journal des Debate.)
PARIS, JULY 30.—A letter from Marseilles, dated July
24, says :—" We have just acquired a confirmation of the
news, that two French vessels, Le Neptune and Le Jean
Bart, which sailed from our port for Alexandria, have,
been pillaged on the passage by pirates. It is also said
that a French vessel, loaded with oil, was discovered off
Malta, dismasted, and with two dead bodies laying on the
deck. It was towed into Malta."

The following, according to letters from Leghorn, is the
report made to the Intendancy of that island by Captain
Lapay, a Sardinian, viz.—" That he sailed from Gibraltar
for Algiers with a rich cargo, and entered the port of the
latter town without being stopped by the French squadron;

that he landed his goods there, and sailed out to go to
Leghorn. (One letter from Leghorn says, that the Captain
was visited, on coming out of Algiers, but the others make
no mention of it.) Whilst he was at Algiers, ha saw all
the corsairs of that nation that were equipped, put to sea,
and one corvette enter from Alexandria, (where it had
carried pilgrims) with 200 Waldaches (recruits).
The Dey of Algiers has summoned the population of the
town and the interior, to take up arms in defence of the
religion of Mahomet, which he says the infidels wish to
destroy, by taking possession of Algiers. The population
seemed to be enthusiastic, as willing, in case of a landing,
to try the hazard of a battle. With respect •to the bom-
bardment, with which he is threatened, whether it be from
bluster or from confidence in his streagth, the Dey does not
seem to have any fear of it; he neglects Nothing that may
enable him to repel an attack, either by sea or land.
Drovetti, Consul-General at Alexandria, is out of
quarantine, and has set out for Paris. It ie to 'be hoped
he will be listened to, and understood, in the reports he
will make. The following is the substance of the letters
received from Alexandria during the last week :—" The
finances of the Pacha are still in a bad state; he desires to
declare himself independent, in order no more to exhaust
his treasures and army. He calls upon France to protect
him, by sending him officers of all kinds, and preventing
the coming of the 'Turkish Squadron to Alexandria. Were
he somewhat assured of that protection, he would with-
draw his troops from the Mona, and would no more mix
himself up in the affairs of Greece, of which there is no
news,.except that the fleet commanded by Lord Cochrane
has had an engagement with that of the Turks. This
news, without having been authenticated, obtains some
credit."

A letter from Toulon says—" The Journals have for
some time since talked of the Pacha of Egypt rendering
himself independent. I have for a long time received con-
fidential intelligence upon this subject I have been several
times tempted to let you into the secret, but have been ar-
rested, by the fear that an indiscretion of the kind might
embarrass the plan, and do mischief to the Egyptian and
Greek causes, which are in future to be the same. The
object of our. Consul-General's (M. Drovetti's) negociations
are now explained to you. General Livron ought now to
be in London, if the French Government favours the plans
of the Pacha. It is looked upon as almost certain, that the
arrival of the combined fleets in the seas of the Levant,
will be the signal of Mehemet Ali's declaration of inde-
pendence."
(From the ConstitutionneL)
" LEGHORN, JuLT 16.—` We have received letters from
Alexandria dated the 15th of June. We are assured that
the expedition which Mehemet Ali Pacha has been for a
long time preparing for the Peloponnesus will not take
place. It is even stated as official information, that the
Paella has written to his son Ibrahim to desire him not to
engage in any thing in the Morea until he shall hear anew
from him. Me)oemet Ali has frequent and secret con-
ferences with the European agents, and particularly with
those of France and England. Not a day passes without
conferences of three or four hours' duration taking place.
The earnestness exhibited on both sides, and the pensive
and serious air which is observable on the Pacha's coun-
tenance, indicate that these conferences refer to very im-
portant affairs. All the Beys who enjoy a certain reputa-
tion in the provinces are summoned to attend the Paella.
Unexpected changes have been witnessed in the command
of the troops. Brave and experienced chiefs in the art of
war have been placed in the marine service. The Euro-
pean officers, who were thought nothing of about a year
since, have resumed their posts. The Pacha grants them
some moments for seeing him in private. Finally, he
assists personally at the exercises which take place every
morning. Feliabs proceed through the streets of Cairo
and Alexandria, proclaiming that by an ordinance of the
Pacha, assemblages of men, either in the interior of houses,
or in public places, are forbidden, on pain of death. Wo
to him who shall dare to disobey this ordinance.' "

We also received last night Brussels Papers
to the\lst instant, of which the following are
extracts. The fact of Madame DE RIBEAU-
PIEFLRE having embarked at Odessa to join his
Excellency, her Husband, seems to imply that
the departure of that Minister from Constan-
tinople is not so certain as former accounts have
led us to expect. These Papers confirm the
report that the Infant Don MIGUEL has taken
'lodgings at Baden
BRUSSELS, JULY 28.—His Majesty has been pleased, at
the desire of the Mexican Government, to authorise M.
Legundo, settled at Brussels, to exercise, provisionally, in
this city, the functions of Vice-Consul, till the nomina-
tions of Consuls and Vice-Consuls, which the Mexican
Government may make in the septel,

The Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures at Ant-
werp have informed the public, that notice has been given
to it from the department of the Minister of the Interior,
that according to information received from the Ilavannah,
the duty of half a piastre per sack, which has been for some
time imposed on the exportation of copper, has been sup-
pressed by order of the Government, and that hopes are
entertained there, that the extraordinary duty on the ex-
portation of sugar would also soon cease.
BRUSSELS, Jura 30.—The Chamber of Commerce at
Brussels has the honour to inform the merchants, that his
Excellency the Minister of the Interior, by a letter of the
28th inst., has informed it, that a Treaty of Friendship,
Navigation, and Commerce, was concluded at London on
the 15th June last, between, his Majesty, our beloved
Sovereign, and the United States of Mexico ; that its con-
tents will be made fully known, after the exchange of the
ratifications ; and that, in the mean time, the Chamber
can assure the shipowners and merchants who are interested,
that our goods and vessels will henceforward not he sub-
jected in the Mexican ports to any higher payment, or
obliged to pay other duty than the goods and vessels of the
most favoured nations.

Mr. Germain set out last night at eleven o'clock, to re-
turn to Rome.

The public appear to be very desirous to know the con-
tents of the Concordat just concluded between our Govern-
ment and the Holy See.
It is affirmed that, by one of the articles of the Concor-
dat, the Philosophical College will be retained with this
modification, that the Candidates for Professorships will he
presented by the Archbishop of Malines, or by the College
of all the Bishops united ; we are wholly ignorant which
of the two.

According to another article of the Concordat, the elec-
tion of the Bishop of Utrecht is confirmed.
A letter, written from one of our East India possessions,
does not represent the state of our affairs there as very
brilliant.

PETERSBURGII, JULY 11.—Madame de ilibeaupierre,
wife of our Ambassador to the Porte, embarked at Odessa,
on the 21st of June, for Constantinople.
In commemoration of his late visit to Wiasma, the Em-
peror has been pleased to remit to the inhabitants, who
were great sufferers by the French invasion in 1812, the
amount of 40,000 rubles in arrear of taxes, which have
been due for three years.

FRANKFORT, JULY 24.—Accounts from Vienna of July
18, say_" It is reported that in consequence of orders
from the highest authority, new measures are going to be
taken with respect to the garrisons of the fortresses on the
coast of the Adriatic, for instance, those of Venice and
Trieste, which will be considerably augmented. It is also
said that it is intended to restore' to those two cities their
ancient maritime importance. Dispatches have lately been
sent from the Foreign-office to Baron Ottenfels, the Im-
perial Nuncio at Constantinople.
His Royal Highness the Infant Don Miguel LAS taken
lodgings at Baden, where their Imperial Majesties new are.
AMSTERDAM, JULY 31.—Exchange on London, 11 97i
to 11 95; two months, 11 92} to 11 90.—Amsterdam
Courant, Aug. 1.

Frankfort Papers of the 27th ult., and the
Journal de St. Petersburgh of the 17th, have
