TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Tyr Csiwrrnsuisa Jonarat is requested to receive our apolo-
gies for the mistake which occurred yesterday in our office, in copy-
ing—as from the Cheltenham Chronicle—ln a part of our impression
—the interesting article entitled 4* Tam Maw or Ls:sou to CHIL.
TINNAII," which was taken from the CMILTIENHAK JourataL.

Dispatches were this day received at the Colonial
Of Ice, in Downing-street, front the Right Honourable
the Earl of CIIA.TiI Am, Governor of Gibraltar ; and from
Lieutenant-General the Hon: F. C. PONSON BY, Go-
vernor at Malta.

Dispatches are anxiously and hourly expected at the
Colonial Office from the Right Hon. Sir FREDERICK
A 1) A m, Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Isles.

NVe invite the attention of our readers to a very valuable
communication from Madeira, illustrating the system of
government pursued in that interesting island.

The rumours from Constantinople—contained in letters
dated so late as the 20th of September—that the whole
western part of Rumelia, and all Bosnia and Albania are
in insurrection against the SULTAN and the Russian
army. are by no means destitute of probability. At the
premit, however,.we attach to them no greater credit,
than unconfirmed reports—for which it is not difficult to
see that a foundation may exist in reality—can justifi-
ably claim. If the report were true, to the fullest extent
of the insurgent numbers stated-35,000 men—it would
avail nothing towards the redemption of the prostrate
empire. The facility and rapidity with which the army
of the victorious General can be reinforced by the Black
Sea communication, render all insurrectionary struggles
unless aided by plans of external co-operation—desperate
and useless. It is but five days from Odessa to Bourgas;
and with the squadron of Count HEY DEN to support him
on one flank, and Admiral GREIG it to protect him on the
other, the position of DIESITSCII ZARALK ANSII--•
till the arrival of any required reinforcements—would be
safe in whatever emergency.
At the same time, it ought to be remarked as a curious
fact, that we should be inundated with these warlike
reports so immediately upon the heels of a pacific pro-
mulgation ; and we beg our readers to bear in mind that
we alone—among all our contemporaries—drew their
attention to the singular circumstance, that the document
published by our Ministers as the TREATY OP PEACE
between Turkey and Russia, exhibited only the signa-
of the conquering Generals. The Times of this
ag speaks of these " terms of peace" as having
`reluctantly signed by the SuLTAIT"—a misap-
.. against which the rumours of re-commenced

hostilities ought to put us doubly on our guard. The,
SULTAN has signed nothing; and the thing which the
Duke of WELLINGTON'S people have put forth as the
treaty of peace between the two belligerent Sovereigns,
is but a string of conditions on which peace has been
offered to the vanquished party, at the dictation of the
conqueror.

To return, however, to this rumoured rebellion of the
western Pachas, which—as we set out with remarking—
we do not consider at all improbable : supposing it to
have taken place, there is yet an opening for a redeem-
ing effort, on the part of England. Indeed, it is asserted
as a part and parcel of the same rumour—that " the
English Government is making very menacing prepa-
rations for war at Corfu,, where nearly 15,000 men are at
this momentassembled." At this conjuncture, 15,000 men
are but as a feather in the scale, against the over-
whelming weight of Russia : but we will not affirm that
the appearance of our fleet in large force under Con-
stantinople, might not yet—even at this eleventh hour—
cause the tide of Russian victories to run refluent. If'
we had a Ministry animated with one spark of patriotism,
we would say to it—" repair your errors; even yet it is not
too late." Nay, more : we do now say to this Minis-
try—to the Noble Duke and the Noble Earl, who have
brought such cumulated disgrace upon us—that if they
will retrieve their characters by the adoption of the only
course, in which there is any hope of redemption for the
humbled honour and sacrificed interests of England,
we will uphold them—as perhaps they feel that we have
opposed them—a l'outrance. But we have not done so
from any factious feeling, for we are bound to no men,
fettered by no party : and if they will but exhibit—even
after all their Cabinet perpetrations against Greece
and Portugal, and their criminal submission to the
engulphing usurpations of Russia—some signs of
capacity, and sincerity to retrace their steps,
wo would be among the foremost to do them
justice. The course to which we allude, is
to declare war at once against NlctioLAs, and to fol-
low up the declaration by immediate and vigorous opera-
tions, as well in the Black Sea as in the Levant. It
ought to be with us, a war ad internecioncm : for if we
allow the keys of the Dardanelles to be appended to the
girdle of Russia, adieu for ever our naval greatness--
adieu our commercial superiority—we must take rank
with the petty kingdoms of the earth from that disastrous
hour, for ever.

The Gazette of Lisbon of the 22d Sept. which it will
be understood is the Gazette of MlGUEL—contains the
following characteristic resolution of the Usurper, dated
" Queluz, 22d Sept. 1329."
" The official part of the Gazette contains a resolution
of his Majesty, signed by the Minister of Ecclesiastical
Affairs and Justice, to the effect that his Majesty having
been informed, that in some parts of the Kingdom—
especially Mink° and Tros-os-Montes, legal proceedings
are still pending, which were commenced in 1826, against
individuals accused of opposing the extinct and proscribed
forms of Constitutional Government—an opposition
which ought now to be considered as proving the loyalty
with which his Majesty's faithful subjects detested such a
monstrous innovation on the fundamental laws of this
Monarchy—and his Majesty desiring that persons im-
plicated in such proceedings should be spared the incon-
venience and expense of being discharged from these
proceedings, and also that for the public good and the
promotion of general union and concord, these deplorable
evidences of bad dispositions should be suppressed—he
has been pleased to order that all these documents and
papers, even without any request of the parties concerned,
shall be transmitted to the Minister of Justice in the
state in which they now are."

Upon this follows the subjoined farcical account of the
" fete of our beloved and august Sovereign" extracted
from the Lisbon Gazette of the 4th instant, also received
this day. We shall have another account to give of these
proceedings very shortly:—
To-day (Michaelmas-day) being the fete :(Saint's
day) of our beloved and august Sovereign, the co-
lours were displayed in the forts and all the ves-
sels at anchor in the Tagus, and salutes fired at
day-break, noon, and sun-set. At eleven o'clock a nu-
merous concourse of the most distinguished persons of all
classes began to repair to the Palace of Ajuda, where, on
this happy day, they had the high honour to kiss the hand
of his moat gracious Sovereign, who was pleased to re-
ceive all with the august and paternal affability of a King,
who, by so many and sacred ties, is rendered dear to his
loving and loyal subjects ; and to whom, for our happi-
ness, the destinies of the most faithful Portuguese nation
are confided. In the evening there was a voluntary And
splendid illumination of the whole capital ! ! !"—Lisbon
Gazette, Oct. 4.

Buenos Ayres Papers to the Ist August have been re-
ceived this day, from which we have given below a series
of extracts. The most interesting part of the news from
that quarter is—that the Government of the province has
extended to foreigners of all nations, who contributed to
the security and peace of the capital, the full right of
citizenship of the province of Buenos Ayres—" equally
with the natives." We ha've likewise this day some im-
perfect details of a bloody battle between the contending
forces of PAZ and Quißoc A
BUENOS AYRES, Jess £3.

In consideration of the services rendered to the public cause,
by the foreigners of all nations who have taken up arms to con-
tribute to the security and peace of this capital, during the last
few montbs—including those who, in compliance with the law,
have entered service; and also those French citizens who gene-
rously continued even when they had permission to abandon it,
the Government of the province has decreed :

Foreigners of all nations, who have taken up artists in any of
the corps of the aty Militia of this capital, shall have the right
of citizenship of the province of Buenos Ayres, and enjoy all the
rights of citizens equally with the natives.

JULY 4.—Don Jon Augustin Barbosa, jun. has been recognised
by the Govermneat of this Republic, as Consul-General from
Brasil.

Jim, 23.—0 n Sunday and Monday last it was currently re-
ported that an important victory had been gaited by Goma! Pas
over the forces of General Quire=s and Bastes.

The odiclal account of the battle was published yesterday. Gen.
Paz formed his army in three columns—the right commanded by
La Madrid; the centre by Colonel Deese; and the left by the
Governor of Tucuman. General D. Fader Lopes ; the reserve by
Colonel Pedernera. On the Slid June the army of Quirop,
amounting to 3,000 men, was completely defeated. On the lids

whilst Gen. Pas was marching for the town—having his whole
force formed in one column—be was again boldly attacked by Qui-
roga, who bad been reinforced by infantry from the garrison.—
After a severs contest, Gen. Pas was again victorious. Quinn's
lost upwards of 1,000 killed, and 700 prisoners. Capt. D. Dionisio
Tejedor, the bearer of a flag of truce from Gen. Pas, was shot
from an AVOWS.

We have been long meditating to call the public
mind to the probable supersedure—at no distant
period—of the dangerous and distressing practice of
lithotomy in this country. We allude to the new pro-
cess, distinguished by the appellation of LITIIONTRITY,
introduced by the Baron HEURTELOUP—a Parisian
surgeon of great celebrity. It is one of those important
and cheering discoveries, which ever and anon in the
lapse of centuries—like that of vaccination, or the use of
mercury—breaks across the horizon of mortal suffering,
to alleviate, if not altogether to obliterate some of its
component horrors. The agonies of the complaint
called the stone are too notorious to need a description
here ; and the surgical operation for its extraction is so
terrible, that all patients would prefer to die by the slow
torture of the disease, rather than submit to a frightful
and dubious experiment, if the pain did not madden
them to undergo it. That a substitute, then, should be
found for this mangling remedy of the knife—a substi-
tute, too, of an efficacy so determined, that it must super-
induce in a very short time the abolition of that bloody
practice—is a theme for human gratitude to dwell on.
Already the Baron HEURTELOUP has proved the
success of his lithontritic treatment in this metropolis,
and has restored to health and happiness more than one
otherwise death-devoted individual, who looked forward
to a melancholy termination of his woes by the gorget of
the operator. The case of Mr. WATTLE, of Chelsea—s
gentleman, nearly seventy years of age—is among the
most encouraging of these examples to the afflicted. We
may perhaps, at some future period, describe—with a
minuteness suited to the comprehension of our readers—
the instruments by which this ingenious surgeon effects
the pulverisation of the calculus in the bladder. In the
mean time, it will be felt to be no slight confirmation of
our preceding statement, when we announce that Mr.
LA w RENCE, of St. Bartholomew's Hospital—whose
very name is sufficient to give confidence to the timid—
has expressed his unqualified approbation, and even ad-
miration of these instruments. On Thursday last, the
nc'ule and ingenious Baron—with the sanction, and in
the company of Mr. LAWRENCE—exhibited his appa-
ratus in the theatre of that Hospital, and delivered an
explanatory lecture to the students there, on the prin-
ciples of the lithontritic operation. The lecture of M.
Ht u RTELOV r was conveyed principally in the French
language, Mr. LAWRENCE at his request acting as his
interpreter, and elucidating to the pupils—as the Baron
proceeded—the use of each particular instrument. We
have not yet seen the instruments ourselves, but we un-
derstand—from a friend who has—that they may be pro-
pounced mechanical perfection.

CITY. TWELVE o'CLout.

The Consol Market, which left off firm yesterday,
maintains its price this morning, although at present
little business is doing. Consols opened at 901 for the
Account, and for Money 90 to A. We have a great
number of foreign arrivals, particularly from South
America. The information from Buenos Ayres is not of
a favourable description. The civil war still rages in
that country. The letters from Rio Janeiro are of the
27th August. We do not hear of any political infor-
mation of consequence from that quarter. Exchange at
Rio Janeiro was 26 ; at present the foreign market is
void of interest.

CITY. HALF-PAST OWL

There has been a little animation in the course of the
morning in the Consol market, which has caused rather
an improvement. Consols which were at the com-
mencement of the market at 901 to 1, have since got up
to 901 Buyers for the Account, and may at present be
quoted 90g Sellers, and 90A to for Money.
The private letters from Rio Janeiro, received by the
Mail this morning, state the Loan contracted for in Lon-
don had been ratified by the Chambers. Exchange 261 j.
The Brazil Stock had got up at Red. 1 per cent.
Letters have been received from Launceston, Van-
Dieman's Land, to the sth May. Wheat was selling
there at 7s. Gd. per bushel, but the smutt had got
amongst it. Sheep were selling at 2s. 6d. per head, and
cattle at 355. to 408. per head. Butchers meat lid lb.
In the Foreign Market the chief doing is in Brazil
Stock, which has been done at 63i and 64. Favour-
able accounts have been received from the Imperial
mines, which have produced 101 pounds of gold every
day for twenty days on an average.
Extract of a letter from Pere, Sept. 18, although not
later than the last accounts, still is of interest:—" The
Prussian Envoy, M. Royer, returned yesterday from
Adrianople, accompanied by two Russian Officers. From
that moment it appeared certain that peace was signed,
and would be ratified by the Sultan immediately : great
joy prevailed throughout the capital. Mahmoud only
appeared down-cast and melancholy, which struck terror
in every person who approached him. The chief objects
of Royer in the negotiation with General Diebitsch were
the contributions which the Porte is to pay to Russia,with
the extension of the Greek territory. The Porte wished
the sum should not be expressed in the public treaty, but
' should be the object of a secret article, as he does not
wish to irritate the feelings of his people, who would
say that Turkey has become tributary to Russia ; and
which would be taken advantage of by his enemies, and
would raise the nation against him. It is asserted that
Royer has obtained of Russia a secret article in conse-
quence of this remonstrance ; and in regard to Greece
the extent of their negotiation will be regulated, ac-
cording to the treaty of London, and the accession of the
three powers, and that Russia only demands for Greece
the line from Arta to Volo."

We have the arrival of several Foreign Mails this
morning: from Lisbon, by the Duke Marl'bro, sailed
14th October; from Malta, by the Queensbury, sailed
28th August; Gibraltar 25th September, Cadis 27th
September ; from Rio Janeiro, by the Frolic, sniled 18th
August; Bahai 30th August; Pernambuco 116 Sep-
tember; from Buenos Ayres, by the C) gnet, sailed lit
August; Mont Video, 4th August.
