BERLIN, SEPT. 4.

According to the latest accounts from Con-
stantinople received at Vienna, the reports ap-
peared to be confirmed that the Ottoman Porte,
at length yielding to circumstances, and the
wise advice of the European Powers, has declared
itself ready to send Plenipotentiaries to Count Die-
bitsch to treat of peace. With respect to the affairs
of Greece, the Porte had also declared itself ready to
agree to the Treaty of Gth July. Negociations on
this subject had already begun between the Reis
Effendi and the French and English Ambassadors.
We may therefore now hope to see these two im-
portant questions decided, and peace in the East
restored.

The IVUremburg Correspondent,and after that the
Allgemeine Zeitung, and several others, published
under the date of Berlin, Aug. 21, an article re-
specting pretended very warm discussions said to
have taken place at London, between the Duke of
Wellington and the Prussian Ambassador. We are
authorised most positively to declare that there is
not a word of truth in that article, and that the
whole of the statement, as well as the details, is pure
invention. In the friendly and undisturbed relations
between Prussia and England • such differences are
not conceivable.

General Muffling, who arrived at Constantinople
ill, Was, according to authentic accounts of the 11th
ult., already recovering.

HAMBURG, SEPT. 3.
Accounts from Odessa, of the 17th of last month,
are said to have been received here, stating that
Count Pahlen had gone from that place to Bourgas,

in order to confer with the Turkish Commissioners,
who were expected there.

The St. Petersburgh Journals of 26th of Aug.
contain no news more recent than already received.
The Emperor had promoted several officers to
the rank of Major-General.

The following extract of a letter from New
Orleans, dated July 24, has just been posted at
the North and South American Coffeehouse :
The Bingham, American merchantman, has put in
here, the whole of the Spanish expedition being dispersed
in consequence of a severe gale of wind. The Bingham has
lost her mainmast ; she has 500 Spanish troops on board.

A courier arrived yesterday, at Dover, from
Vienna, with despatches from the Foreign Office,
and proceeded immediately to town. He con-
firms the report that General DIEBITSCH is
certainly at Adrianople.

[From a Correspondent.l—Several leading
English capitalists have been lately selling out of
the French Funds. The name of one, I know—
he was lately a banker in Paris, and has good
judgment in these matters. I conjecture the
same of the house of BARING, one of the
partners in which passed through, to-day, on his
return from Paris.

Letters have been received from Bogota of
the 7th July, but they do not contain any po-
litical news.

There is not the slightest variation in any of
the duties on Foreign Grain from the returns of
last week.

We have received the following this morning
from our Correspondent in Paris :

" PARIS, SEPT. 8.

" Letters from Constantinople, received in
Paris this morning, dated the 16th ult., an-
nounce, that after the intelligence of the fall of
Adrianople had reached the capital, Turkish
plenipotentiaries had set out for the Russian
head-quarters.
" Information of a very different character has
been received by way of Semlin and Belgrade,
the letters being dated from Semlin on the 22d
of August. In these it is said that the action
of Jenibazar, fought by the Grand Vizier against
General Krasowski, was one of the bloodiest
which has occurred since the commencement of
hostilities, and that the Russians had lost three
thousand men in killed and wounded, besides
more than five thousand prisoners ; and to the
personal credit of Redschid, it is mentioned that
the victory was the result of a well laid combi-
nation. It is added, that the enthusiasm of the
Turks is completely restored, and that after the
engagement they had left their encampment, and
had advanced in a body amounting to 50,000
men. Hence it is concluded, that the Russians
may not yet be in a situation to march on Con-
stantinople ; as it is believed that General Die-
bitsch has been compelled to detach a division
of his army to reinforce the corps of General
Krasowsky, and that this diminution of his
forces would materially change his dispositions,
and oblige him to evacuate the position which he
had taken up in the neighbourhood of Aidos.
The Russian camp of Jenibazar serves as the
basis of the movement of General Diebitsch,
and if the Vizier has raised his encampment it
is inferred that the Russians who are at Aidos
will be compelled to retire upon Varna, by the
shore of the Black Sea. I shall not trouble you
with a repetition of what is merely conjectural,
but I may mention it as the opinion of many
well informed persons, that the present successes
of the Russians, and even their possession of the
Turkish capital, is not likely to be attended with
the absolute overthrow of the Ottoman power
in Europe. Such indeed is the opinion enter-
tained of the resources of this empire, that even
if the Crescent were forced to take refuge in
Asia, it would require a powerful coalition, and
a long and bloody war, to hinder the Turks from
returning to resume their European possessions.
The Liberal party in France have this day
occasion to lament the sudden death of the
Count de Daru—a man admitted by all parties
to have uniformly maintained a high character
for talent, integrity, and disinterestedness.
During the war in Prussia he was Intendant-
General of the army, and after the peace he re-
mained at Berlin, as the Imperial Minister of
the Prussian Court. He entered the Cabinet
when the Duke de Bassano was Minister for
Foreign Affairs. His department was that of
Secretary of State, an office which has been abo-
lished since the Restoration, but which was
then of great importance. It was in this ca-
pacity that he attended the memorable expedition
to Moscow in 1812. Himself a rigid observer
of punctuality and discipline, he expected unre-
mitting attention from his inferiors in command ;
but, indefatigable and severe in the discharge of
his own duties, the example which he exhibited
was the most effectual stimulant to those around
him. It was such, indeed, as to satisfy the in-
conceivable activity of the head of the Empire.
It was not until after the restoration that he was
called to the Chamber of Peers; a circumstance
which deserves to be mentioned, as equally cre-
ditable to him and to the Government by whom
this act of justice and conciliation was accorded.
Ile has always voted with the Liberal party, both
when formerly in the minority, and of late years,
since they have acquired the ascendancy in the
Chamber ; but latterly he has rarely appeared in
the Tribune, although he has frequently sup-
ported the views of his party by his published
discourses. His literary reputation was of no
mean order, as is attested by his Translation of
Horace,' his History of Brittany,' and his
great and learned work, the History of Venice.'
I have lately had occasion more than once
to remark the slowness with which projected
movements at the French Court find their way
to the Paris Papers. It is now nearly a week since
I mentioned to you the diplomatic changes which
were likely to arise in consequence of the re-
signation of M. de Chateaubriand; and, in the
prints of yesterday and this morning, I find these

changes foretold on the authority of my former
letter in The Sun. I have reason, however, to
believe that some alteration has now taken place
In the arrangements at head-quarters; that the
Duc de Blacas goes to Rome, the Duc de Laval
Montmorency to London, and M. de Rayneval
to Vienna. The nomination of the Count de
Ferronays to the Neapolitan Embassy is also
spoken of in the ministerial circles ; but it is
stoutly denied by the Liberals, who say that it is
impossible for M. de Ferronays to accept of any
favour from the party who opposed his measures
when formerly in power. A rumour is also in
circulation among the adherents of Ministers
that the Duc de Mortemart is to be superseded
in his Embassy to Russia, and it is met by the
assertion that the resignation of M. de Morte•
mart is now on its way to Paris.
" The whole family of the Rothschilds are at
present in this capital, and yesterday a great en-
tertainment was given by one of them, whose or-
dinary residence is at Paris, to the whole of the
Cabinet Ministers, at his chateau in the Bois de
Boulogne. It is said that the cause of their ap-
pearance in such force at Paris, is a plan at pre-
sent in agitation for paying off or converting the
French Five per Cent. Stock, in imitation of a
similar financial operation which was effected a
few years ago in England. Without applying
themselves very deeply to the investigation of the
prudence of such an arrangement, the good
people of Paris content themselves with shrug-
ging up their shoulders, and saying that these
children of Israel do not travel for nothing.
" Orders have been given for the Conquerant
ship of the line to prepare for sea. The desti-
nation is said to be the Levant.
" We have had excessive rains in Paris for the
last two or three days, although at this moment
there is an interval of sunshine. The accounts
of the vintage are very unfavourable, and the
crops of oats, hay, and barley, are far below an
average, particularly in the northern departments."

There are few more unfortunate errors than
the habit which men get of laying extraordinary
stress upon evils of a merely temporary nature,
and losing sight of the permanent good of so-
ciety in the anxiety they feel to remedy the
present distresses of a particular class of it. Peo-
ple of benevolent dispositions are thus constantly
asserting, that it is the duty of the Government
to interfere for the protection of the labouring
classes, by fixing, in some manner, the rate of
wages ; and that the operatives do Ho more than
they ought, in self-defence, when they combine
against those on whom they depend for support.
M. SISMONDI, in his Nouveaux Principes de
l'Econonzie Politique, suggests that, during pe-
riods of distress, the masters ought to be com-
pelled to provide for their workmen, and that in
return, the workmen should not be allowed to
marry without their masters' consent. The
weavers at Barnsley assert they have a natural
right to be maintained by their neighbours, in
which position they are supported by the Ultra-
Tory prints, and, in particular, by Blackwood's
Magazine; the writers of this class having, since
the settlement of the Catholic question, become
the most violent of the Radical Reformers.

The semblance of philanthropy which these
doctrines bear, induce many to adopt them at
once, without considering, that if in a state of
society a man have a natural right to any thing,
it can only be to enjoy the produce of his own
labour. Now, :the Barnsley weavers who refuse
to labour, but nevertheless demand a certain
amount of wages, make in fact a claim to a por-
tion of the labour of others ; or, which is the
same thing, to a portion of the capital which the
labour of others has produced. The value of
labour, like all other commodities, can never be
more than what people will give for it ; and,
therefore, to compel manufacturers to give more
than that value, is an unjust interference with
their property.
But, it is said, the profits of labour have been
of late years much diminished. So have the
profits of capital. From various causes, profits
of all kinds are falling generally throughout the
country ; therefore, the operatives have no just
cause of complaint on this score. They have
no right, in their character of producers, to be
considered at all with reference to protection,
any more than any other branches of commerce.
There is another character, however, in which
the labourers, in common with the rest of the
population, have an undeniable claim to the at-
tention of the government—we mean as con-
sumers. If a man has no right to more than
the value of his labour, neither ought he, under
any circumstances, to receive less than such
value ; and when, by monopoly, excessive taxa-
tion, or other evil, established and sanctioned by
the Legislature, his labour will not purchase an
adequate portion of the necessaries and comforts
of life, there is something fundamentally wrong
in the laws under which he lives. To abolish mo-
' nopolies with that care which bygradual steps avoids
the immediate ruin of any existing interest, and to
alleviate the burthens which now enhance the
prices of necessaries by reducing taxes which
check consumption, and are therefore less pro-
ductive than they ought to be, are objects that
demand the constant efforts of Parliament. But
it cannot be too often repeated, that industry
thrives the best when it is left to itself, and is in
fact really protected when it is not protected at
all, in the sense that word is generally used in.
The interests of the operatives at Barnsley, as
everywhere else, are essentially involved in those
of their employers, and the latter should meet as
stoutly the demand for a disproportionate rate of
wages, as they would the threats of those who

should demand linen tablecloths to be given
them, under penalty of the plunder of the ware-
houses.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWIMPB o' CLocri

Although there can be no doubt at present of the
taking of Adrianople by the Russians, received by
the express from Paris this morning, still it has had
not the least effect on the Consol market, which
opened at the same price it left off at yesterday,
88k k for the account, and 88k 9 for money ; at
present there is not a single feature in the market
worth observation.

The Foreign market is in the satte
A Jamaica Mail has arrived, which sailed on the
4th of August. Papers of the 3d of August have
been received at the North and South American
Coffee-house; they are of very little interest, and
do not contain any information in regard to the
Spanish expedition to Mexico. From the Paper of
the 3d of August we congratulate the inhabitants
of this city on the abundant supply of ground pro-
visions ; we learn that in Trinidad a number of slaves
imported from Dominico under the denomination of
domestics, have been seized by order of Government,
and that others, to the number of 1800, imported
under similar circumstances, since the Ist of January,
1825, will also be seized, and it is supposed the
whole will be confiscated to Government. In Bar-
badoes a Mr. Franklin, who has been in the habit of
taking slaves from thence to Trinidad, has been im-
prisoned.
Quebec Papers have also been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house to the 7th
August. His Excellency Sir James Kemp and
suite returned to the seat of Government on Satur-
day evening. The Hussar frigate, with Admiral Sir
Charles Ogle and lady on board, was to sail from
Halifax on Sunday for Quebec.
Accounts from Gibraltar of the 20th August state
that scandalous desertion prevails in the above for-
tress amongst the British soldiers, who desert to
Spain, where they are received and enrolled, it is
said, for a foreign legion, which is to compose a part
of the Royal Guard; one of these men had been
condemned to death by a Council of War.
Accounts from Constantinople state that after the
Reis Effendi had accepted the treaty of the 6th of
July, he asked of the British Ambassador to obtain
from the Russian General an immediate armistice,
but the English Minister did not think himself autho-
rised to interfere, consequently he referred the Reis
Effendi to the Prussian General Muffling.
In Upper Canada the wheat harvest has com-
menced, and the crop is of an excellent quality,
but in old lands the crops are generally heavy.

Consols are not so good as in the early part of the

and 88i 4 for money. Some sales of Consols have
been made for the Account.

The Foreign market continues without any ope-
