to Bourgas.--From Bucharest of the same date, we have 1
an article which informs us that the plague had consider-
ably abated there, and in all the affected places in Wal-
lachia, in consequence of the setting in of the cold
weather. For several days previous to those accounts,
they had no new cases.

Lisbon Gazettes, to the 15th inst. are this day re-
ceived ; and it appears from a despatch of the Por-
tuguese Chargi d'Affairs in the United States of North
America, dated the 7th Sept. last, that the yellow fever
had manifested itself in the city of New Orleans, with
such dreadful violence, that from 60 to 80 persons died
daily,—and as, in consequence of this official notice, it
was necessary to adopt strict measures to preserve those
kingdoms from the introduction of so destructive a
scourge—which measures, however, may with the more
reason be expected to be temporary as the winter
season is at band which usually checks the de_
leterious effects of such miasmata—it was ordered,
I. That vessels, persons, and effects, coming from New Or-
leans, and the neighbouring ports, shall not be admitted into any
part of these kingdoms, whatever be their cargo, or even if they
are is ballast.
11. That vessels, persons, and effects, coming from other
ports of Louisiana, not included in the preceding article, as well
as those coming from the ports on the west bank of the Missis-
sippi, shall be admitted into the Port of Lisbon only, and subjected
to a rigorous quarantine.
111. That vessels, persons, and effects, from the other ports of
the United States, in which the yellow fever usually prevails in
the • summer months, shall be admitted in the Port of Lisbon,
only when the whole or part of the cargo consists
of goods susceptible of contagion, and subjected to a quarantine
of 21 days; but if the largos' of goods be not susceptible of conta-
gion, the term of quarantine shall be twelve days only.
IV. That veuels,persons, and effects, from the Havannah, and
the Gulf of Mealco, shall be admitted in the Port of Lisbon only
under a rigorous quarantine, whatever be their cargo ;a or if they
are in ballast, their farther fate depending on the leglity of the
Papers, &e-
V. That the chief officers (Guardas Mores) of health in the
kingdom shall strictly observe the regulations of the edict of
25th November, 3826, respecting the legality of the papers of
vessels coming from foreign parts; and shall be individually
responsible for every omission in a matter so essential, and so
often recommended. That the present edict may be generally
known, and that so person may be able to plead ignorance, it Is
ordered to be posted up in all the public places of the ports of
the kingdom.

Another notice of the Board of Health, dated Sd November,
announces that the Portuguese Consul at Bayonne has sent word,
that the Board of Health in that city has revoked the order by
which vessels from the ports of Portugal were subjected to qua.
rantine ; and that the Portuguese Consul at Trieste has likewise
announced, that the quarantine imposed at Them., Genoa, and
Venice, on vessels from Portugal is now abolished : so that it ap-
pears that the false reports of the plague having shown itself in
Portugal are now dispelled, as in fact the state of the public health
is as good as possible.—Liston Gasette, Nos. 15.

In a spirited article on the French Cabinet, in the
Foreign Review, just published, a few questions are put,
which may too soon require the utmost skill of our first-
rate politicians—Whigs as well as Tories—and our mis-
guided Ministers, to answer in a satisfactory manner.
To-day we need not encumber their importance with any
comment : they are forcible, and must awaken the most
serious alarm for the safety of our country in the most
cold-blooded of all our senators. Speaking of the re-
cent triumphs of Russia, and the apathy with which the
progress of that great Power has been witnessed by all
parties in England, as well as in France, the writer asks,
how came we to manifest even " our satisfaction at
measures which can only tend to spread more widely, and
in closer approximation with the condition of Western
Europe, the reign of absolutism ? Is not this in contra-
diction and to the utter confusion of the very first axiom
of their political faith—the levelling of sovereigns, and
the upraising of the majesty of the people ? Better, may
they, exchange a Tartar or Barbarian sway, for an i,uro-
pean protection. Better, say we a Tartar or Barbarian
sway, than the yoke of Russia, if it were only for the
clipping and curtailing, and paring down the lion's claws,
and breaking out the strong teeth of absolutism. With
the possession of European Turkey and the Asiatic bor-
ders of the Black Sea—with the enjoyment of its com-
merce, and Greece, and the passage of the Bosphorus,
and the lordship of the thousand islands of the Archi-
pelago—is not Russia likely to become more formidable
than if she had been confined within her ancient bounda-
ries ? How many more States will she not now, by the
extension of her capacities, dictate to, command, over-
bear, over-reach, possess, and destroy? However—re-
gret is vain ; the Treaty of Adrianople has been signed
and perfected, and Mahmoud is now a vassal of the house
of Romanoff. France, doubtless, might have saved him
by her remonstrances and opposition, had she been under
the guidance of an able Administration. But she was
cursed with vaccilating councils and undecided leaders,
who were quarrelling among themselves for pre-eminence,
while the Administration of England was too fully occu-
pied by the troubles and anxieties of our home policy, in
the conciliation of animosities, and in organizing and
strengthening its own ranks. And so Turkey fell, con-
trary to all human belief, and all human and blind pro-
phecy : and to add to her dishonour, the disgrace of her
fall was aggravated by her rank cowardice, and her cold-
blooded treachery to herself. The mallison of our own
Richard Crook-back, and in his own words, were no un-
fitting judgment for that crime which he has thus laid
prostrate:
" Then !et her slot, and be the seas on her,
"-"red reoepde !"--

It will, however, be some time forced on the consideration
of England, what in all probability will be the ultimate
fate of Turkey ? And as diplomacy is now reduced from
what it heretofore was, a game of chance—and may, with
some truth, be assimilated to a wall-appointed and patent
machine, the settlement of all doubtful points will not
require any very long-headed Talleyrand, when a Con-
gress shall be called—the necessity for such a meeting
daily becoming more obvious and more urgent."
