THE ARMY.

A detachment of the Rifie Brigade arrived in London
yesterday morning from Scotland, on route to Devonport.
A detachment of the 55th Regiment of Infantry is
ordered to embark this morning at the Tower stairs, on
board a steam packet, for Gravesend, on route to Chatham.
A detachment of the 87th Foot will embark this morn-
ing at the Tower stairs, on board a steam-boat, for Sheer-
ness.

A troop of the 6th Regiment of Dragoon Guards has
been ordered from Dorchester to Christ Church, on Coast
Duty.

A detachment belonging to the 4th Regiment of In-
fantry, arrived in town on Thursday, from Glasgow, on
route to Fort Pitt, at Chatham.
A detachment belonging to the 2d battalion of the 60th
Rifle corps, arrived in town on Thursday from Glasgow on
route to Portsmouth.

GALWAY, Ave. 31.—Yesterday morning, about half-
past eleven, the Commander of the Forces of Ireland, ar-
rived, and was met by Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas
Arbuthnot, who commenced the inspection of the corps
stationed at this place, the 75th Regiment. At two o'clock
be visited the dinners of the men; the regularity of which,
and system of messing, he commended in high terms of
praise. At half-past four the whole battalion turned out
in full review order, in the square of the town ; and after
marching past, went through many battalion and light in-
fantry movements with great steadiness and precision. It
then formed into square; after which the Commander of
the Forces expressed his high approbation of the appear-
ance of this very fine regiment, and immediately left the
ground. The day was remarkably fine, and the assem-
blage was not only very numerous, but highly respectable.
In the evening the Officers of the 75th regiment entertain-
ed the Judges on the Circuit and a large party to dinner,
which General Sir John Byng honoured with his com-
pany. We regret to hear that this regiment is under
orders to march.

TWENTY-FIFTH REGlMENT.—Yesternight the first di-
vision of this gallant regiment, which acquired a high cha-
racter for steadiness and discipline in this city, while quar-
tered here about two years ago, debarked at Newhaven
from the Velocity steamer from Aberdeen. It was nine
o'clock at night before the detachment marched into the
Castle ; and during its progress through the streets, the
populace, attracted by the sound of the drums, received it
with loud and reiterated cbeers, as the old Edinburgh
regiment. The officers whointived yesternight are Major
Chambers, Captain Sweelyy, Lieutenant Sweeny, and
Ensign Reid. The second division will wive on Friday,
by the same mode of conveyance, and the detachment from
Braemar on Saturday, by land. Yesterday morning a
party of 'the 78th Highlanders left the Castle to occupy
that remote station.—Edinburgh Observer, Sept. I.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1829.

The next accounts from the theatre of war
are looked for with impatience, notwithstanding
the submission of the PORTE to terms which a
month before it had rejected with its proverbial
arrogance. Ambassadors, we are told, had been
named to proceed to the head-quarters of the
Russian General to treat for peace. If their
motions prove as tardy as the progress of Turkish
diplomacy, we suspect that General DIEBITSCH
will spare them a long journey, for his advanced
guard was at Kirk-kilissa on the 6th of August,
and the main army was in motion for the capital,
The question then comes, whether the Russian
General, having so far overcome all resistance,
would stop short of the goal of his master's am-
bition, when almost within sight of the towers of
St. Sophia—or proceed—the more especially,
as the SULTAN himself expressed a (prophetic)
wish to have the conferences for peace at Con-
stantinople ? We think he would find excuses,
because he possessed the power, for fixing his
head-quarters in the capital. It is evidently with
this view that a descent had been made at Inaida
by the division which we presume left Sebastopol
originally for Bourgas. The position of Inaida
s only 80 miles from Constantinople—command-
ing the nearest, indeed the only, road along the
coast to the forts of the Bosphorus—and we shall
not be surprised to hear by the next accounts that
the Russian fleet have landed another division at
Phillen, which is about half way between Inaida and
Constantinople—in order to facilitate the progress
of the land force by keeping the Turkish troops in
alarm, and dividing their force by perplexity and
fear. The advance on the capital will thus be
accomplished by two armies possessing the roads
along the coast—Kirk-kilissa, and that diverging
from Kirk-kilissa by Bourgas. Possessing all
these advantages, and the complete command of
the Black Sea—if General DIEBTTSCH refrain

from grasping a prize so tempting, and almost
within his reach, we think he will show more
forbearance than usually falls to the lot of con-
querors in situations so captivating. He may.
We think he will not : we arc sure we
would not.

German Papers have been received : they
state that Wallachia is still suffering under the
visitation of the plague, as also of some myriad
flights of locusts. The Nurenzburg Corre-
spondent observes—" Letters from the frontiers
of Italy, of the 19th of August, say that the
opening of the free port of Venice is expected to
take place on the Ist of October next. It may
be conjectured that Venice will obtain a great
share in the carrying trade to and from the
Levant, which has hitherto passed through
Trieste. This will be particularly the case with
the trade in the Netherlands' woollen cloths,
which since the Greeks have been reduced to
poverty is almost wholly in the hands of the
Armenians. Several ships of war are fitting out
at Venice, probably to reinforce the Austrian
squadron employed against Morocco."—The fol-
lowing are extracts :

FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, Auc. 7.—A new scourge
has, within these few days, threatened our province.—
According to an official account from Fockschany, the
district of Rimnik, and the country about Ibrailow, have
suffered for the last week by the ravages of swarms of 10..
custs, which come from Moldavia, and gradually spread
themselves towards the Danube. The President has issued
the most urgent orders for the extirpation of this plague;
and the Divan is enjoined to have them punctually exe
cuted. Some days before the arrival of the locusts, the
district of Rinanik was visited also by a dreadful hail-
storm, in which many cattle, and even some men, lost
their lives. The plague, Which, as the weather grew
warmer, made greater progress' and, for a fortnight, car-
ried off between 40 and 50 .persons daily, has been less
fatal for a few days past, the deaths being seldom more
than five or six in a day. Nevertheless, the number of per-
sons infected, and of suspicious cases, is still very great.
Measures have now been taken to preserve the hay in ma-
gazines. The two principalities are to have 48 magazines,
in which provisions of all kinds are to be deposited. The
Commissariat in Jassy has concluded with a merchant
from the Buckowina, a contract for 30,000 chetwerts of
oats and 5,000 chetwerts of flour ; and the Commissariat
in Bucharest is said to have orders to send 70,000 chet-
werts of flour and oats from Moldavia and Wallachia to
Tournoul, whence these supplies will be sent to their far-
ther destination.
ODESSA, AUG. 10.-The Board of Health has enjoined
all the inhabitants to confine themselves to their houses.
Only the masters of families are allowed to go to the mar-
kets, each attended by a servant. On the same day
notice was given, that in the village of Little Ku-

jalnik, near Yssatavy Khertova (a village previonsly
infected) three persons bad died of the plague, and
thnt in the same place there arc four other persons
attacked by the disorder. This village, being out of the
district already insulated, has been surrounded by a cor-
don of Cossacks. Though the sanitary state of the port
continues to be satisfactory, it has nevertheless been re-
solved to send away the merchantmen that have been
freighted by the crown. They are to go to other ports to
take in their cargoes, as there is danger at Odessa under
present circumstances.
(Some Berlin papers say that Jussuf Paella resides at
present in a beautiful country house, five wersts from
Odessa, on the shore of the Black Sea, the same that was
inhabited last year by her Majesty the Empress.)
FRANKFORT, AUG. 29.—Our journals contain a no-
tice, dated 23d August, from Captain Moline, of London,
commander of the Joseph and Anne, an English ship, in
which he states that he shall shortly arrive at Cologne,
where he will immediately take in a cargo for London.
The Princess of Lowiez arrived here to-day.

NUREMBURG, Auc. 28.—Letters from the frontiers
of Italy, of the 19th August, say that the opening of the
free port of Venice is expected to take place on the let of
October next. It may be conjectured, that Venice will
obtain a great share in the carrying trade to and from the
Levant, which has hitherto passed through Trieste. This
will be particularly the case with the trade in the Nether-
lands' woollen cloths which, since the Greeks have been
reduced to poverty, is almost wholly in the hands of the
Armenians Several ships of war are fitting out at Venice,
probably to reinforce the Austrian squadron employed
against Morocco.
FRANKFORT, Auc. 25.—Our exchange has recovered
from the alarm caused by the fall of the Russian funds in
London at the latter end of last week. M. Anselm Von
Rothschild, senior, chief of the house of that name in this
city, is expected at the end of the week to return from his
visit to Paris. It h said that the financial object ascribed
to this journey has been found unattainable, as the French
Ministry is now composed.

We have a copy of the Baibadian of the 21st
July. Mr. PRIEST, the Edicor of the Free
Press, had been found guilty of a libel on the
Chief Justice, and mulcted in the sum of 250/.
The Bill sent down by the Board of Council to
the House of Assembly of St. Kitt's, for the
purpose of extending civil rights to the free black
and coloured inhabitants, had been rejected.

On Monday last a public dinner was given to
Mr. O'CONNELL by the Friends of Civil and
Religious Freedom at Cork. On this occasion
the Hon. and Learned Member indulged his
hearers with one of those characteristic speeches
in which he contrives to ramble from subject to
subject, from the Law to the Church, from the
Church to the State, from the State to " things
in general," with an ease, an assurance, a rapi-
dity, and a readiness known only to himself. If
variety of knowledge, energy of purpose, and
glibness of language could make the perfect
Statesman, Mr. O'CONNELL would undoubt-
edly be the first man of his age. But there are
other qualifications requisite to ensure so en-
viable a distinction ; such, for instance, as judg-
ment, discretion, the art of knowing how far to
urge, and when to decline, pressing a favourite
point, and in these Mr. O'CONNELL is deficient.
His present hobby is a repeal of the Union. He
is desirous, he says, to have a resident Parlia-
ment in Dublin, to the furtherance of which
object he has promised to devote his undivided
energies. We regret to see a man of Mr.
O'CoNNELL's eminence wedded voluntarily
to so Utopian a scheme. He cannot but
perceive that it is contrary to general feeling,
and that so far from pacifying Ireland, it would
only have the effect of setting all parties by the
ears together. It is not an independent Legis-
lature, which it would take years to consolidate
and bring to bear usefully and efficiently on any
one particular point, that Ireland wants. She
does not stand in need of a separation:from the
Sister Island, which would be attended with the
grossest injustice to both countries ; she re-
quires only two things ; first, an alteration,
gradual and temperate, of the laws at present ex-
isting, with regard to landlord and tenant;
secondly, time to enable her to get over and
profit by, the effects of the late political tornado.
Perhaps, also, the present mode of administering
her criminal code might be improved, for—to
adopt Mr. O'CoNNELL's own words—" at the
present Assizes, during the trial of a man for
felony, the Judge on the Bench was asleep, an
attorney was examining three witnesses at the
same time, one of the Jury was reading, and
three of them were cheapening plums with a
fruit-girl." These are the abuses that require
correction-, these are the Augan stables that
demand a thorough cleansing ! Turn the full
river of your eloquence through these, Mr.O'CoN-
NELL ; let the stream visit every nook, cranny
and loop-hole, and depend on it that by so doing--
by purifying your Courts of Justice—by assist-
ing in the endeavour to soothe the bitterness of
party spirit, instead of exciting it by wild and
ill-judged schemes of political regeneration—
and above all, by placing on a rational footing
the laws existing between the inflexible landlord
and his impoverished tenant, you will confer
more lasting benefits on Ireland, than if, like
another PETER the Hermit, you were to
preach a crusade through Europe in behalf of
your country's independence.

In his recent answer to the Quarterly Re-
view, Sir R. DONKIN has ably refuted the
fallacies of the critic, and proved the correctness
of his own inferences as regards the shores of the
African Syrtis. The Reviewer has quoted the
authority c.f the two BEECHEYS, to disprove
the Gallant General's account of the state of
those shores—whereas, on referring to the works
of the travellers themselves, Sir RUFANE'S
account is fully and satisfactorily borne out.
This is only one out of many instances of
blundering and misapprehension of facts which
occur in the review (in the last Quarterly) of
the Gallant General's work on the Niger, some
of which we pointed out a few days since to our
readerF, as a mere act of justice to all parties.

The Russian Ambassador had a conference
with the Duke of WELLINGTON and the Earl of ABER-
DEEN yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs. The Austrian Ambassador had an inter-
♦iew, which lasted near two hours, with the Noble Duke
at the Treasury.

An order was received here on Tuesday night

A correspondent at Dieppe informs us that
Mademoiselle So/4mo, who is now there taking the baths,
refuses to fulfil her engagements with M. LAURENT, on
the ground of inability, from the partial loss of her voice.
LAURENT, who seems to think that the young lady's indis-
position is a common affaire de theatre, however, insists
upon play or pay," and it Mademoiselle SoNTAG does not
recover her voice and commence her engagement, we may
expect to have the matter discussed before the French Tri-
