MOLDAVIA AND 't% ALLACIIIA.

Our latest accounts from the frontiers of Walla-
chia come down to the 29th of August. At Bucha-
rest, according to letters of the 21th, tranquillity
was restored. The defence of the Arnauts was un-
commonly brave. The number of the Turkish sol-
diers killed is stated to haire amounted to above a
thousand : of the Animus, at the most eighty-one,
who, at the beginning of the attack made on them,
found means to disguise themselves in other dresses,
and thus to escape death.
The number of houses burnt amounts to nineteen.
Besides Turkish troops and Arnauts, nobody perished.
On the frontiers the repose of a desert prevails,
which greatly impedes the course of the correspon-
dence with Bucharest. The scattered bands of In-
surgents, still wandering here and there, have
partly left the Turkish territory, and have partly re-
tired to the frontier towards Moldavia. Since the
Ottoman troops have been called to Bucharest, these
'too have disappeared fi om the Austrian frontier.
All the corps of Janissaries in Moldavia and Wal-
lachia have received orders to leave those provinces,
and have already begun to retire over the Danube.
On the 23d of August there was a Public Meeting
of the Turkish Officers and Boyars, at the residence of
the kiaja Bey. An Order from the Paella of Silistlia
was read, which partly explains the motives which
caused the destruction of the laminar Sawa, and his
corps of Arnauts, and partly enjoins the Kiaja Bey
and the Boyars to exert the utmost care to preserve
public tranquillity.

The Officers of the Rnssian army at Bucharest have.
removed the residence of the Austrian Agency.
SEPTEMBER 9.—The accounts of the retreat of the
Macedonians into the mountains, and of the raising
of the siege of Tetiezzar (the ancient Pella), and of
the blockade of Salonica, are. confirmed. It seems
that the melancholy end of the Livadian corps has
induced the -President Odysseus to take this step. He
expected reinforcements, which he receives daily, be.
cause /;reeks from all quarters, encouraged by innu-
merable proclamations, hasten to join his standard.
For the present he seems quite secure in the moun-
tains, which are easily defended, and the Turks, be•
sides, do not seem disposed to attack him.
The Proclamation of Prince Ypsilanti, published
by the Ilamburith C'Grrespoudent, is considered by the
Greek emigrants here to be a forgery, because the
confidential friends of the Prince know nothing more
of hum at present than that he is in the neighbour. •

Mrs. MONTAGUE was one day conversing with Mr.
Fox, in her own house. The subject, probably, was
politics ; at least there is no topic on which they were
less likely to agree. In the course of the conversation
the Lady grew warm ; at last, she was so much net-
tled at something which Mr. Fox said, that she de-,
dared she did not care three skips of a louse for
him. Mr. Fox turned aside, and in a few minutes
produced the following :
Says Montague to me, and in her own house,
I do net care for you three ,kips of a lonic!
I forgive it; for wonienoirowever well bred,
Will still talk of that which most runs in their head!

A Gentleman, of •a very fickle disposition, made
so many changes in a mansion which he was erect-

about the arrangements, that it seemed a miracle that
it was ever finished at all. Al length, however, it
was completed, and nothing but the giving it a name
remained to be done; this was a sore puzzle, till a

he would give it him—" The !Jamie or Orrection

LISBON, SEPTEMBER 6.
The sittings of the Cortes continue in the regular
course, without presenting anything very' remark-
able. In the sitting of the 28th August, a rather
warm debate ensued on the reading of a note from
the Minister of the Interior, in which he asked,
" Whether his Majesty- could nominate to the office
of the Secretaries of State for the several Departments
into which the affairs of the kingdom art divided,
one of his Counsellors ?"
M. Boraces CAnsesno said there was no need to
refer this question to a Committee. The accumula-
tion of offices was prohibited by the Cortes: a Coun-
sellor is raised to that dignity by the nation; the
nation desires him to fill that place alone, and conse-
quently he cannot be appointed to the office of Se-
cretary of State or any other.
M. ALves de Rio thought that there could be no
difficulty, since, if a Counsellor was appointed Minis-
ter of State, he would, ipso facto, cease to be a Coun-
sellor ; consequently there was uo accumulation of
offices, and the Cortes would present another triple
list to the King, who would choose from it as he
thought fit.
M. FEELNANDEz THOMAS thought that the Minister
ought not to have laid such a question before the
Assembly. " This is the second time he has brought
forward similar questions. I know the reasons, and,
if necessary, will expose them, that it may not happen
a third time. Did not the Nation choose the Coun-
sellors? Was not a triple list presented to the King ?
Had not he a choice? and did he not choose at his
pleasure? Are we to change every day ? How can a
Counsellor, if appointed Secretary of State, speak with
frankness to the King if he has just received a favour
from him? I protest against this proceeding,and re-
peat, that if necessary, I will expose the reasons of
. this manoeuvre, with which I am well acquainted,
and know to what it tends."

M. A. de Rio supported his opinion ; to which M.
T. THOMAS replied, and was supported by M. BAETA
and M. Bo IMES CA ENE! Ito. The latter spoke at length,
and said, he knew well whom it was intended to put
in the post of Secretary of State for the Department
of Justice : it was the same person who paralised all
the business of the administration of justice to protect
his colleagues. The motor then began to allege
facts, but wa, vehemently called to order: he was,
however, permitted to proceed, and concluded the
picture which he had begun, in which he spoke of
the cause of Antonio Fale, of the Judge of Coimbra,
&c. &c. and concluded by saying, that it was only in
Algiers that justice was administered in such a man-
ner, and that " Siaciler cum similibus facile congre-
gantur."
M. PEIMENTEL 'MALDONADO said—" The man of
whom the preceding speaker talks has been declared
innocent by this illustrious Assembly. To accuse
him a new motion is necessary: there is none such,
and I therefore call him to order."
M. CASTELLO BRANCO.ge Unhappily, his Ma-
jesty has been always deceived by those who sur-
rounded him. His Majesty, knowing this, endea-
voured to drive far from him those men who so
largely contributed to the ruin of the nation; but
certainly he has not succeeded . I know the
object of the Note of the Minister of Finance; but as
I have not certain data, I will not yet explain it:
but as soon as I have them I shall do it. I will lie
the first to denounce them to this sovereign Congress.
The nation may have confidence in a man as Coun-
sellor, but not as Minister of State. It is not lawful
for the King to remove Officers from the posts which
they fill. The Constitutional System would be at an
end, and we should see men qualified for one office
filling others for which they certainly are not.—
Besides, what would be the influence of the Council
of State? Why was it formed ? Was it not to coun-
terbalance the Executive power ? If the King can
give the Ministers honours, revenues, or offices, can
they speak to him with freedom and confidence? I
absolutely disapprove of the Note of the Minister of
Finance, and propose that it should be intimated to
him that he be more Constitutional."
After some further debate, it was proposed and
carried, that "the King cannot appoint one of his
Counsellors to the Office of Secretary of State, nor
to any other office or employment."
In the same sitting, M. B. Cuts:atm made a com-
plaint of various Magistrates who protected robbers
and assassins ; he mentioned two of thsee, who had
been concerned in many robberies and murders, and
are yet to be set free by the Magistrates, under the
pretext that they were included in the Amnesty.
granted by the Cortes : he proposed that the conduct
of the Magistrates should be inquired into, and the
two persons in question arrested wherever they might
be found.

UIaRIMIK4) approved. of the inquiry, and of

punishing the Magistrates, if guilty ; but to arrest
two men,, set at liberty by the competent authority,
would be an act of despotism. _ _

After some discussion, M.
_CARNMRO withdrew
the second part of his suotioa, and the first was as-
sented to.

In the Sitting of the 4th September, M. B. CAR.
NEIRO said, he had received a message, written by
Jcse MAchado Correa, a native of Bahia, which, in
his opinion, clearly proved the utility and the neces-
sity of allowing the Clergy to marry.
The Deputies of Pernambuco have taken their
seats in the Cortes.
