FLANDERS PAPERS.

FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, SEPT. B.—A mercantile
letter from Adrianople, of the 25th of August, says
that the Turkish Commissioners who are appointed
to carry on the negotiation at the Russian head-quar-
ters endeavoured, according to the usual Turkish
policy, to spin out the negotiations, and gain time,
but that the Russian Commander-in-Chief, who dili-
gently prosecutes his operations for securing his po-
sitions and profiting by his victories, has fixed them
a certain time for the acceptance of the demands of
his Sovereign, and, if that expires without leading to
n satisfactory result, he will immediately attack the

capital.
VIENNA, SEPT. IG.—Reports of peace are in
general circulation hero to-day, but they differ from
each other in the details. I communicate to you
what a letter from a respectable quarter, bromdit by
a courier, contains, without guaranteeing the con-
tents. After the arrival of the Turkish Plenipoten-
tiaries, among whom wa4 the Grand Vizier himself,
the Preliminaries of Peace were signed at the Rus-
sian head-quarters on the basis of the Treaty of
Akermann, and the Grand Vizier himself, accompa-
nied by a guard of honour, is gone to Constantinople,
to obtain the ratification of them by the Sultan.—
Count Diebitsch had declared that he expected to be
able, by the 10th of September, to send to his Sove
reign a treaty satisfactory to both parties. Meantime
an armistice is concluded.

MUNICH, SEPT. I9.—Private letters from Vienna
of the 16th instant, say that news had been received
direct from Constantinople, dated the 26th of A ug.,
according to which the Sultan had discovered a
conspiracy in the capital just in time to bafile the
designs of the conspirators. Five hundred persons
who were considered by the Sultan as guilty, had
been obliged to expiate the suspicion with their
lives. After the massacre, the last exploit of the
energetic Mahmond, as he is called, his Highness,
say these accounts, terrified by the progress of Ge-
neral Diebitseh, sent Deputes to the Russian head-
quarters, with the assurance that the Sultan re-
nounced all resis'ance, and left the conditions of
peace. entirely to the generosity of the Emperor
INichola-c. Hostilities had, in fact, ceased. Such is
said to have been the end of the energy of Mali-
mood. As peace was considered at Vienna to be
infallible, the finds, it is added, rose considerably.
We give these accounts as we have received them,
and on!), rem ‘ilt that none of the letters which we
have seen say whether General Diebitsch has ac-
cepted the surreni'er of the Turks at discretion, nor
viiether he has cAvinued his march or halted.
It appears to us incrceivab'e that the conqueror
should have refinined from obtaining, by the occu-
pation of the Dardanelles and the forts on the

Bosphorus, some security for the sincerity of tire'
Sultan's repentance. Probably you will have re-
letters from Vienna with similar accounts.
It may, indeed, be considered as certain that
no European uar will take place to maintain the in-
tegrity of the Turkish empire, whiCh is reduced to
absolute impotency; and also that Russia has the
right and the power to dictate peace. The only
thing to be apprehended for the general interest of
Europe is that Russia, from excess of magnanimity,
nay neglect the opportunity of securing a commerce
independent of England. It is a great consolation
titut the exalted mind and decisive character of the
Emperor Nicholas will find means to combine mode-
ration with wise regard for the great interests of
the Turks, and despise the suggestions of an anti
-
Tutted routine, all the calculations of which have
reen put to shame. The Emperor will trot consent
to a peace which would be only an arty istice for the
advantage of his enemies, and sacrifice the immortal
elory of his reign by listening to a timid diplomacy.
Europe hopes from Russia the cure of its wounds,
which are jealously kept open by England.—Allge-
twine Zcitung, Sept. 21.
ADRIANOPLE, SEPT. 4.—( By Express.)—The
preliminaries of peace are already signed by the
Turkish Plenipotentiaries, who have arrived here.
General Diebitsch has granted an armistice of 10
days, before the expiration of which, the prelimi-
naries of peace must be ratified by the Porte.—Nu-
remburg Correspondent, Sept. 21.
VIENNA, SEPT. I6.—The mail from Constanti-
nople has arrived ; it came by way of Adrianople,
and through the Russian army; the letters are not
of 25th August, as was expected, but of 31st, and
Ist of September, which accounts for the late ar-
rival. In consequence of the accounts brought by
expresses from Adrianople and Odessa, of the pro-
bability of peace, our funds rose considerably. Bank
Shares yesterday 1,180 rose to 1,191, 1,200; Me-
talliques, ion .?„. These accounts say that a ten
days' armistice had been concluded at Adrianople, to
give the Sultan time to declare himself with respect
to the terms of peace proposed by General Die-
bitsch, and already agreeil to by the Turkish Pleni-
potentiaries. It is believed with the greatest confi-
dence that the Sultan will agree to the terms, as he
has not sufficient force to check the advance of the
enemy's General to his capital. Mahmoud's situa-
tion wits very critical, as, according to the latest
letters, the internal state of the city was favourable
to the foreign enemy, a powerful party of malcon-
tents, at the head of n hich were the Janissaries,
threetening the throne and life of the Sultan if the
war should continue.—Nuremburg Correspondent,
Sept. 21.
FRANKFORT, SEPT. 22,—His Royal Highness
Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg arrived hereto-day,
We have received by express the Austrian Obscr-
' ver of the 19th, which says, " The most recent ac-
counts from Constantinople, of the sth inst., brought
by a French courier, on his way to Paris, says that
perfect tranquillity prevailed in the capital. The
Sultan had adopted the most judicious measures to
preserve order and to hinder the discontented from
profiting by the vicinity of the enemy's army to ex•
cite sedition. One of the most important measures
is the appointment of the celebrated Seraskier Chos-
rew Pacha, a zealous advocate of the new reforms
and therefore hated by the opposers of them, to the
post of Deolet Naairi, or Inspector-in-Chief for the
Government, with instructions to maintain the new
institutions both civil and military. General Baron
considering the object of Hs mission as ac-
complished by the near conclusion of peace between
Russi:r and the Porte, had embarked on the sth of
September on board a Sardinian ship bound to Genoa.
The direct communication with Constantizople
being fully re-established, with the concurrence of
the Russian General, the regular mail of the 16th
will, as we hear, be sent by way of Adrianople.

The latest accounts from Gleece received at Con-
stantinople, announce the dissolution of the National
Assembly at Argos, after having given unlimited full
powers to Count Capo d'lstria, for the convocation
of a new National Congress.
Accounts from Adrianople, of the 2d September,
say that the Prussian Major, Von Kuster, who ac-
companied Baron Muffling, arrived en the 27th of
August at the Russian head-quarters from Constan•
tinople. On the 28th, two Turkish Plenipeten-•
tiaries arrived at Adrianople, whom Lieut. Griffiths
had brought on board the Rifleman from Constan-
tinople to Rodosto. They were accompanied by
Lieut. Griffiths, who, on the 31st of August, re-
iurned to Rodosto with Major Kuster, to embark
for Constantinople. On the same day four other
Turkish Commissioners arrived from the camp of
the Grand Vizier. On the Ist of September, after
the arrival of the Russian Plenipotentiary, Count
Pahlen, from Baurgas, the conferences between the
Plenipotentiaries of the two parties were opened,
and fin doubt was entertained of the speedy con-
clusion of preliminaries of peace.

Frankfort Papers of the 23d September.)

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 20.—Yesterday there
passed
through this city a Russian Cabinet Messenger from
S. Petersburgh, and an English Cabinet Messenger
from Vienna, both with despatches for London.
The Princess Esterhazy arrived at Rotterdam on
Thursday.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Du-
chess of CUMBERLAND, and Prince GEORGE, were among
the distinguished personages who honoured the Co!ossenm
with a visit on Saturday last, with the whole of which
they expressed the highest admiration.

BRIGHTON, SEPT. 27.—His Royal High-
ness the Duke of CLARENCE, who had arrived here the
night before, accompanied by the Duchess and one of his
daughters, took his passage yesterday morning in the Dieppe
steam-packet. Much surprise has been expressed at his
Royal Highness not having embarked in a Royal yacht;
kut it is understood that the Duke has declared he would
not ask or be indebted to the Admiralty for any favour of
the sort. His Royal Highness was staying, during the
short tiNe be remained in Brighton, at one of the hotels,
from which he walked yesterday mmning to the Chain
Pier, and there embarked. The Pier was crowded with
spectators, who cheered his Royal Highness when the
tiacket started, and some guns, which are placed there,
were also fired. The object of the Duke and Duchess of
CLA RENCE.S visit toFrance is to see the Dnke and Duchess
of SAXE WEIMAR, who are now taking the baths at that
Dive. The visit of his MAJESTY to Brighton will not, it
is now understood, take place until about a week after the
time (the 10th of October) originally named. Much
will, however, depend on the state of the weather, the
ruin making Windsor too darep to be a comfortable resi-
dence for his MAJESTY.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.-(From
Correspondent).—We understand that, although the sub-
scription for the relief of the performers and persons de-
pendt nt upon this theatre is sufficient to enable Mr.
KEMBLE to affect arrangements for the opening of the
establishment, it is not adequate to that which might very
reasonably have been anticipated. It cannot be doubted
th:it this season of the year is far from being propitious.
The nobility, the higher classes of society, and, in many
instances, even the more humble patrons of the drama, arc
at a distance from the metropolis, so that it will readily be
believed that no inconsiderable poi tion of them have yet to
learn the situation of the Covent-garden company ; and
therefore it may yet be hoped that Mr KEMBLE'S and the
performers' exertions, sacrifices, anti perseverance (unex-
ampled in the theatrical world) may meet with liberal
support. Mr. KEMBLE'S conduct, in baldly placing him-
self in a situation of risk and responsibility, the extent of
which is at present incalculable, in aid Of his professional
brethren, is too well known to require any ccmment. In-
deed, the subscription, whatever it might have amounted
to, could have been of no avail unless he bad stepped for-
ward. He has done s), apparently regardless of the c
sequences to himself, for no amount of subscription, how-
ever great it may eventually prove, can relieve him front
the liabilities he may thus incur with his co-proprietors,
The shareholders, we understand, are acting liberally,
many of them having given up their annuities for one or
two years, and suspended their claims for arrears for three
years, while many of tie creditors, on their part, with
feelings equally liberal and humane, have subscribed va-
rious sums of
.money, and engagesl not to molest the
property.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1829.

St. Petersburgh, Hamburg, German, and
Dutch Papers have been received this morning
to late dates, but they contain nothing in addi-
tion to our advices from the theatre of war.—
The following are extracts :

ST. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 1 1.

This being the fete of the Order of Sr. Alexander
Newsky, and the anniversary of the name-day (fete)
of the Imperial Prince Alexander, as well of the
birth-day of the Grand Duchess Olga, and at the
same time in commemoration of the occupation of
Adrianople and Kirk-kilissa by the Russian troop,
high mass and 7e Deuni were performed in the
church of the Monastery of St. Alexander Newsky,
in presence of the Emperor and Empress, and the
Grand Duke Alexander.
The St. Petersburgh Journals announce numerous
promotions and nominations by the Emperor, but no
news from the armies either in Europe or Asia. Up
to the Bth there had arrived at Cronstadt 1183 ships,
and sailed 922.

ODESSA; SEPT. 4.

After some interval the plague has again appeared
in the Moldavanka. The persons affected are two
women, one a servant in the house where the plague
fir,t appeared, the other the wife of an artillery man,
who was quartered in the Moldavanka, but on the ap-
pearance of the plague was placed in the bivouac
within the cordon. The plague has also attacked
two families in the village of Tartarka, near the
Dalnik. This place having been isolated as soon as
suspicion was excited by orders of the Magistrates,
who also sent a special Commissioner thither, it is
hoped the disorder will soon be checked.
THE HAGUE, SEPT. 23.

Among the various reports respecting
the ap-
pointment of the Ministers of Marine and Colo-
nies: the one most generally believed i 5, that that

Alec will be offered to his Excellet►cy M. de Fala,
his Majesty's Ambassado r at London, and that he
will be succeeded at London by Baron Vim de
Capillen, late Governor-General of our East India
possessions.
VIENNA, SEPT. 16.

The Constantinople Mail (not of the 25th inst.)
29th August, arrived this morning. It brings, as
must be expected, but little news. There ras in
Constantinople only one will, one voice, namely,
for peace; and the news of the signing of the pre-
liminaries was daily expected from Adrianople.
Notwithstanding the proximity of the enemy, pro-
found tranquillity prevailed at Constantinople.
The Duke de Laval Montmorency will in a few
days set on t from Paris, on his way to his new post
at London, and will have the honour to present his
letters of recal to his Majesty the Emperor at
Linz, to which place Prince Metternich will go to-
morrow. The Emperor is expected here by the
end of the month.

ODESSA, SEPT. 5.

On the 3d ult. 11 ships arrived here from the
Turkish ports, occupied by our troops, seven of them
brought the prisoners from Silistria. The Ewe
brig arrived on the 3d with Count Tolstoi, with the
report of the taking of Adrianople, addressed to the
Emperor.
HAMBURG, SEPT. 22.
PORSEN HALLE, FOUR O'CLOCK.—Funds are in
great demand :
End of September.
Anglo-Danish Loan, 3 per cent
Anglo-Russian Loan 98!1,
Hamburg-Russian Loan 924
Polish Bonds lOl
Austrian Bank Shares 1174
Austrian Metalliques 593/5

Extracts from German Papers, received yes-
terday, will be found in another column. We
have not space for comment.

Gibraltar Papers have been received this
morning of the 7th inst. They make no men-
tion whatever of any cases of fever there.

Letters from Barcelona of the 16th Sept.
state, that in consequence of the number of in-
dividuals sent to the scaffold by the Count
D'ESPAGNE, orders had been sent him to refrain
from executing any individual condemned to
death, without referring to Madrid.

We have Papers from Canton of the 4th of
April. The market was in a state of the greatest
inactivity. No alteration had taken place in
British or European manufactures. Opium had
improved materially : and there had been, during
the year ending April 1, 1829, an increase in
the consumption over the preceding year of near
4,000 chests ; the stock remaining was very small.

The following communication from our Paris
Correspondent will be read with interest :

" PARIS, SEPT. 26.

The affairs of the East continue to divide
the attention of the Parisian public with rumours
of changes in the Ministry, and their more im-
mediate domestic concerns. As to the grounds
on which the suspension of hostilities has been
granted, I can find no tangible points on which
reliance can be placed ; but the general infe-
rence I have drawn from all I have been able to
learn on the subject is, that the claims of the in-
vaders are much more moderate than any thing
which has hitherto been anticipated, from the
character and policy so generally ascribed to the
Russian Court. It seems, indeed, to be certain
that the preliminaries of peace subscribed by the
Grand Vizier and General Diebitsch, at the
Russian head-quarters, on the part of the re-
spective belligerents, take the treaty of Aker-
mann for their basis ; and that they fully war-
rant the inference of a high degree of moderation
on the part of the Russians. It is said, that
immediately after the preliminaries had been
signed the Grand Vizier had set out, attended
by a guard of honour, on his return to the capi-
tal, to obtain the ratification of the Sultan ; and
General Diebitsch is reported to have said, that
towards the 10th of September he hoped to be
able to transmit to his Sovereign a convention
which would be satisfactory to both parties. The
credit attached to this intelligence was such at
Vienna on the 16th instant, as to cause a consi-
derable rise in the Austrian Fttnds, the Metal-
liques being at wog, and the Bank Actions at
1196. These prices were maintained at the
close of business.

" Last night a courier arrived in Paris, direct
from Constantinople. The letters of which he
is the bearer are known to confirm the intelli-
gence of the opening of negociations, and in
other respects coincide with what I have written
above. They account for the relaxation on the
part of the Sultan in his apparently dogged re-
solution to abide his fate in his capital, or at
least to refuse all terms of negociation, by the
discovery of a conspiracy of a most alarming na-
ture, which had arisen in consequence of the
recent disasters, and had assumed a very dan-
gerous character, soon after the intelligence had
reached the capital of the fall of Adrianople. It
was believed that the conspirators only waited
the approach of the Russians to carry their de-
signs into execution, which would probably have
compromised not only the persons and property
of the Christian population, but the life of the
Sultan himself. In these circumstances the Sul-
tan had ordered the execution of no less than
five hundred individuals implicated in the con-
spiracy, and immediately afterwards despatched
the Commissioners to the Russian camp to open
the preliminaries of a negociation for peace. In
another version of the account, it is stated that
the Reis Effendi had communicated the disco-
very of a conspiracy to the European Ambassa-
dors; and having imparted to them the alarm he
apprehended from the dispositions of the people,
he entreated them to intercede with time Russian
General to suspend his march, in consideration
of the common hazard to the Sultan himself
and to the Frank population. The diplomatic
body having agreed to interpose, the Russian
General had readily acceded to their wishes ; and
it is said to have been in consequence of this act
of moderation that the Grand Seignior was in-
duced to semi his Commissioners to the Russian
camp.

" do rot remember a period when the Eu-
ropean public was left so completely in the dark
regarding the policy of the British Cabinet as at

the present moment. While at home, it is stig-
matized by a few of the most violent of the dis-
appointed party as weak and imbecile, it is amus-
ing to observe the very different tone assumed
by those writers in foreign countries, who in
other respects coincide in so many of the senti-
ments of the Ultra party in England, and espe-
cially in their undisguised hostility to the Duke
of Wellington's Government. In several of the
German newspapers, for instance, I can see many
indications of alarm, lest the moderation, or
as they are pleased to term it, the unlimited
generosity of the Emperor Nicholas, should
allow the present opportunity to escape of eman-
cipating the commerce of the world from the
pretended despotism of England. For the
present they would rather praise the energy
than the moderation of the Emperor's councils;
they affect to fear that he is about to yield to
diplomatic alarms, by consenting to a peace
which will give to the enemy all the advantages
of a temporary cessation of hostilities. They
tell him that Europe expects from Russia the
healing of the wounds inflicted by the jealousy
of England ; and they warn him that, by per-
sisting in a course of generosity and moderation,
he will inevitably sacrifice all the glories of his
reign. It appears, indeed, that the Duke's Ad-
ministration is better calculated to inspire its
rivals and its enemies with awe and apprehen-
sion, than to lessen their number by conciliating
their affections, and producing individual good-
will ; but I think it is acknowledged by all that
the personal feelings of the head of the British
Cabinet are decidedly national in their charac-
ter ; and even the most violent of the French
Liberals have never thought of accusing him of
any serious design to infringe on the constitu-
tional liberies of England. On the contrary,
their chief ground of apprehension is, lest his in-
fluence should be sufficient to break down the
chartered freedom of France, and with its free-
dom destroy also its power and its influence, so
as to give a more decided preponderance to
England in the general affairs of Europe. The
present crisis is one which certainly requires a
high degree of energy and firmness on the part
of the English Ministry, and these I conceive
to Ise the qualities by which the Duke of Wel-
lington's Government is peculiarly characterised.
From the influence which his name is known to
possess in all foreign Courts, and particularly in
that of Russia, I am disposed to abide by the
opinion which I have entertained for a consider-
able time, that the hostilities in the East of Eu-
rope are not likely to produce any more general
interruption to the tranquillity of Europe.
" When about to close my letter, I have had
access to a communication from Berlin, which
expresses an opinion that General Diebitsch, in
listening to any proposition for peace, is only
endeavouring to gain time, as, with a force not
exceeding 70,000 men, the writer conceives that
he cannot present himself before the walls of
Constantinople. The inference is, that the Rus-
sian General is temporising till Shunda be car-
ried, and the Russian troops in observation have
joined his standard. Leaving a corps of ob-
servation in the valley of the Heber, he would
then march with 120,000 men on Constanti-
nople, the capture of which would take place in
the month of October, which, in that country,
is the finest season of the year.
" I have also just learned that M. Villalla,
late Secretary of the Spanish Embassy at Paris,
and lately appointed Minister at Constantinople,
left Paris yesterday, for the Turkish capital.
" It is stated in letters from Madrid, of the
16th instant, that the Government of King Fer-
dinand has just entered into an arrangement
with M. Juste Joseph Machado, formerly Spa-
nish Consul-General at Paris, under the Cortes,
and for some time a refugee at Brussels. Spain
having unsuccessfully solicited his expulsion
from the Netherlands, had set on foot a nego-
ciation by means of the Count d'Ofalia, which
has not only induced M. Machado to surrender
himself, but to restore the sums in his hands,
amounting to 7,000,000 of francs, proceeding
from claims paid by France to Spain, in virtue of
the Treaties of 1815 and 1816.

" The Minister of the Interior has deposed
the Mayor and Deputy-Mayor of Vizille from
their functions ; the former for having congratu-
lated General Lafayette on his arrival in that
town, and the latter for having appeared on
horseback on the occasion."

A Morning Paper says that " St. Dunstan's
Church, in Fleet-street, will shortly be taken
down, and a new church built in its stead, on
the site now occupied by the Benchers of Clif-
ford's Inn. The Committee of Taste' in that
department of the City Corporation have, we are
delighted to hear, resolved to remove that mass
of deformity, Temple-bar, immediately after the
Church is finished."

We arc glad of this, and we trust that while
the Committee of Taste are pulling down St.
Dunstan's Church they will see the propriety, if
not necessity, of pulling down all the tubbishing
houses from the Church to Fetter-lane, (only
about half a dozen in all) and by building decent
houses to widen the crowded thoroughfare of
Fetter-lane, so as at least to allow two vehicles to
pass each other. At present the passage is so
narrow as to impede public business very mate-
rially, scarcely an hour of the day passing with-
out an exhibition of obstinate eloquence taking
place between the Donkey cart that wont go
back—and the Hackney coach that can't go
forward !—The Committee will show their
taste by looking to it.

The Chronicle of this morning has the fol-

lowing :

It would appear that speculation, as to the
probable result of the pending negociation, is as
much at fault at Constantinople as in the more
Western Capitals of Europe. We have, at this
moment, before us a letter of the latest date,
written at the Porte, in which the writer, who

certainly possesses as good opportunities rot
commanding authentic information as any other
individual, the • negociators alone excepted, de-
clares himself quite afraid to hazard even a con-
jecture as to the conditions. The Indemnity
(for actual money there is none) is supposed to
1.4 e the ffeat stumbling block, as it will be ex-
tremely difficult to satisfy Russia on this head,
without alarming the jealousy of the other
Powers ; but in defiance of this debateable
ground, our correspondent entertains an expecta-
tion amounting to confidence, of the speedy
conclusion of peace, without any violation of the
iAtegriv of the Ottoman empire, at least as far
as regards its frontier towards Russia. With re-
spect to the question of Greek Independence, he
supposes it to be completely identified with the
general result of the negociation ; but he ventures
• an opinion that the boundary will include the
whole of what was anciently known as Hellas, or
Greece Proper, in addition to the Morea and,
the islands.

" We copy the intelligence conveyed by our
Correspondent, and use his own words, but we
do not thereby mean to imply anything more
than that these are the opinions of an intelligent
eye-witness, having good opportunities of ob-
taining information."

The Dublin Morning Register of Saturday
