The accounts from Constantinople of the Ist of this
oath announce that the Sultan is at length preparing
r the most serious measures.

The firman which we spoke of for "weeks, has been
sent to the pro►inces, and tht Riches ate ordered to arm
also in defence of the empire the rains who do not re•
cognize Warnism. Every thing indicates that-the Sul-1
tat will no more hear any proposal concerning the
Greeks. The armaments continue here and at Niculaies:l

Fiance in confining its consumption for the goods which

contribute the greater part of its commercial trans-n-1
Lions to the productioos of two or three unknown porn
of the globe, which we temporarily call our transmarine
possessions "

The Moniteur observes, th it the Journal du Commerce
has here brought forward one of the most important
questions which for the last 50 years have occupied the
attention of statesmen and political economists; but
that at prevent it will set aside political; military, and
naval consideration, connected with the subject, and
consult only the commercial results.

Nor is this all t we find that the direct commerce eel
France with • Mose almost imperceptible parts of the

Journal da C,ovenserce that the question of the colonies
is more important that it suspected, in, the question of
the national commerce.

TRIESTE, Jon. 11.

According to the latest news from Smyrna, Ibrahim
Pacha projected a march from Tripolliza upon Napoli
di Romania. Such, at least, was the news from Zante
of the 25th of June. The Observatear lerportial pith
tubes the report of Major (Joiner, Commander of an
Austrian skip, to Admiral Dandolo, upon the capitula-
tion of the Acropolis aad the evacuation of Phalerus.—
The same Journal .totes, that the organization of new
troops is going rapidly on at Adrianople, and encounters
scarcely any obstacle. A regiments 1,500 strong, dis-
' ciplined accordiag to the European system, has recently
departed foe Livadia. Barracks arc constructed at
Adrianople for 10,000 men.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JOLT 24.

To the strings of ears and heads sent from Athens by
the Seraskier Redsehid Paha, has succeeded another
sort of pastime, • Thirty rich Turks, whose inheritance,
was coveted, have been hanged, without form of pro•
cess, as factors and secret partisans of the Janissaries;
and, at the end of three days, it was found necessary to
pay to obtain• permission to bury them. The Ulema
is menaced anew. There is talk of reforming it, as the
Janissaries have been reformed; and the Mufti, who
has composed'so many fine songs in honour of wine,
his left off singing, finding that his time approaches.
The Sultan is on the point of making an appeal to all
the Mussulmans, from China and Java to Morocco.
This is the dire of the Divan, which pretends by this
levee en incase to throw 7,000,000 of troops, disciplined
in the Austrian manner, into the arms of old Europe,
flattering itself, that at the commencement of 1828
there will not remain a parish in the country of the in-
fidels where they will not date by the years of the He-
gira. Meantime, we know certainly that they are
arming with activity at Sebastopol, and that consider.
able magazines ate collected at Odessa. But it is pro-
bable the Turks will give room for the first hostilities
by some aggression on the side of Pruth.
The Persian Ambassador who appeared last yea►,
and was solemnly sent back, has been recently disco-
vered at Scutari, where he is accredited ineoptilo. It
is he who gives the bulletins of this war, in which the
Russians and Persians seem atmtd only to steal awns

mutually, the cattle, goats, sherp, mules, and asses;
and to make prisonersi who are sold and treated like

beasts of burden. Such, np to the present wooment, has
been thi result of the campaign which now occupies
the environs of Erivan, where the Muscovites have
more need of quinine to cure their fever, than of cannon
and fusih to defend themelves against the Kirgal
&shoe's.

VIENNA, Jetv 14.
Letters from Brody, and Lemberg (Gallici.r), make
mention of news, that orders of great importance, ex-
pedited from Petersburgh. have been received at Mo.
.hilow and at 'I elcz in, head quarterof the armies of the
south and of the west. At the departure,. however, of
the last couriers, no extraordinary movement had been
manifested by the troops of the two at mig,s; wno were
banged in their" respective cantonments. The iteVrs.th.t
the Etstpernr NicholaCwav about soon to 'Mt the corps
of tie army of Bessabaria, commanded by General Sa-
banieff, seems to acqu're some coasistency. •. -

The .pol.tics of. England are essentially active. We
have already had occasion to reroatt this, and it is suf-
ficient .to cast a glance upon tlsa actual state of• her
political and commercial relation's beaten die nations
in different parts of the world to btr itrtct with the
truth of this assertion.

England has left no corner of theeatth where she has
not tiught to establish commercial relations, speedily to
be followed by political influence, which tends as rapidly
to domination and patronage. She knows with mar-
vellous ability to make use alternately of the successor
her poliey,icladvance her commerce; and of the increase
of the latter, to add to her polit.cal preponderance. h is
not only the Executive that follows this course, but with a
people, who are ambitious and enterprising, the national
character and spirit are such, tharevery individual while
iircupied with his private fortune, plans and labours to
e ineteased power and means of wealth to the Stre.
• this general direction of the rational spirit, even the
eashne.s and folly of adventurers have more than once
contributed to the well being of their common country.
By this concourse of efforts, and by means of unifier-
rtipted perseverance, things have arrived- at' such a
point, that one half of the globe, so to say, Maintain
their intercourse with Europe only through the interCi
mediation of England, and an immense snails of people
regard her as the supreme and sale ruler of. Christian:
nations. The rapid and immense increase of the vela.
tieetiaritime power of England, tince the Middle dt
last century, has, doubtless, effectually contributed tai
produce such a state of things ; but it must be observed,
'bat her active policy has enabled her to derive al-
most as great adventSges from a state of peace as ofd
war, for the production or this colo.sal power, this pro..
digious influence which now astonishes the nations.
Bach a spectacle is fitted trkattract the attention of a*
Gleveransents, bat it ought peculsrly to attract ouri.:se
lime* has Able deepest interest in not allowing herself to
be so prodigiously anticipated by a neighbouring Power,
which has been often her enemy, and which will always
be her rival. Eagland but beheld the maritime power
of the secondary Powers of the North fall before her,
those of Holland, and those of Spain. France now
remains the only Power of the Continent that can—not
struggle, but oppose—any degree of resistance to the
domination of the English flag ; antl as that resistance
involves in it the salvation of the liberty dear to all people,
the independence of the seas, we shall behold the nutcase
applaud our efforts while so directed. Let us devote tbl
happy peace which we enjoy in raising ourselves tot
less frightful inequality, in order that, when the day of
thteatruing and danger comes, we may be able to as-
sume an imposing attitude, capable of guaranteeing that
peace which we duly appreciate, and of rendering it
durable and solid.

How often, during this latter period, would the ne-
gociations of France, its favour of Spain arid her Colo-
nies, have been easier and more dignified if they had
been mcre assimilated N the situation we have described.
The restoration of peace throughout almost an entire
Continent, a numerous population restored to tranquillity
and happiness, vast territories plated in commercial rela-
tions with the whole of Europe,incalculable wealth repro.
docetl, a return to habits of order and Indtistry—all
these great results, so valuable to Spain and her Cola
airs, so useful to the world at large, might have been
attained by means of some additional vessels placed at
the disposal of France.
But it is not only the fate of Spanish America,
which might depend more or kss upon the maritime
force of France—interests much more grave and in-
timate, are connected with this great question; and
the repose of Europe herself, perhaps, may be found
not dissociated from it. For example—can we sup.
pose that the deplorable state in which we no* behold
Portugal, could have been thus prolonged, if a suffi-
cient maritime force had enabled the French Govern.
ment to invest its language with an energy corres-
ponding with its conviction, relative]; to the number-
less evils which the policy of England has heaped upon
that unhappy country? But the situation of Portugal
is nit only an object of interest and commiseration, it is
also an object of inquietude to every Continental Go.
vernment ; England knows it; she partially confesses
it; and yet she appears to attach but little importance to
the representations addressed to her nn this subject.
Nations and Sovereigns ate equally tired of war.
They fear to put in motion again those v..st armies,
which tor so long a period oppressed Europe; but some
troops have been promptly assembled ; a naval rxpedi.
lion has suddenly sailed, and the State which has such
means at its c..mrn Ind, has already the advantage of
possession in a country, while the other Powers are only
exchanging those diplomatic notes which usually pre-
cede so long the movements of armies. An act of this
nature changes all at once the basis of negotiations;
and there is some reluctance to attack in a country, of
which they are already masters, those whom we would
wialingly base prevented CI om becoming masters of it;
hence we may confidently assert, that if France or
Spain had possessed the same for midable maritime force
w,hich they possessed fifty years ago, the expedition of
General Clinton would 'nevev have taken place.
When we desire for France a positive and relative in-
,,crease of her maritime power, it is notivith any view of
