A letter from Constantinople is inserted in the Allge-
meine Zeitung of the 15th instant, giving a most de-
plorable account of the condition of the SULTAN. This
document affirms that it becomes 'every- hour more and
more evident that the Ottoman EihpiVe is rapidly ap-
proaching to its dissolution. All the bonds of obedience
are broken asunder : " no PACIIA 'any longer obeys the
SULTAN'S commands; every one takes his own course;
and the mass of the people is. every where in
favour of the Russians." -All. this is exactly
what might have been expected ; hut when we
are further informed that the SULTAN is about
to resist the fulfilment of the treaty of Adrianople, we
cannot see how he is capable of that. Certain it is
differences have arisen between the Russian and Turkish
plenipotentiaries ; and the foolish Pacha of. SCUTARI
declares that, if General DIESITSCH does not quit
Adrianople by a certain time which he names, "he
will take possession of the city by force, and drive the
Russians out of it f" The subjoined is the letter in
question :

CONSTANTINOPLE, Ocr. 14.
It is a most strange circumstance that the Porte, which must
have been sufficiently convinced of its weakness by the late miler-
tunate events, still gives itself the appearance of possessing means
to direct to its advantage the negotiations still pending at Adria-
nople, and to bring them to a happy termination. The most dia.
tinguished persons are beard is say, " Peace is indeed concluded,
but the stipulators are net yet carried into effect; and the several
articles of the treaty, which are couched. in general terms, must be
clearly explained before they can be •formally executed ; for the
Porte will not give itself up blindly, and wish its hands tied to the
arrangements of the Russian commander." It is certiin,that within
these few days, most important things are pasting, that differenses
have arisen between the Russian and Torkieb plenipotentiaries at
. Adrianople, which exertions were making to arrange, and that the
Porte is endeavouring to gain time for the execution of the stipu-
lations. But it is quite enigmatical to what this conduct can lead,
and with what new hopes the Sultan flatters himself.
Is it the boastful language of the Paella of Scutari, who is said to
have declared to General Deibitsch that he allows bins tin the
middle of October to leave Adrianople voltmarily. but that,
after the mikados; of that time, he will take possession of the
city by force,-and drive the Rushes out of it ;oris it the
unexpected appearance of Admiral Malcolm in the Sultan's camp,
that has so infatuated both him and his Councillors, that they think
to evade the conditions they have agreed to, by a certain interpre.
tallow and delay in the execution of them?
The Reis Effendi. indeed, gives out that he bas received from
`the 'ffidtan'the Strictest orders to fulfil punctuall hand ionscien- •
tiously tlie stipulations of the Treaty of Adrfanophe also
affirms that the Porte has repeatedly sent orders to the Puha of
• Scutari to remain quiet. But according to all that we me and
bear, the Sultan seems not to be serious in these as-
surances ; and be will, perhaps, hold this conciliatory language
till the moment when he shall think himself strong
esough•to avoid fulfilling his engagements. But if the Porte can-
not depend on foreign assistance, (which is not very probable) It
may place itself, by such a desperate game, in I much worse situ-
ation then it is la now. For the interior of the empire is in a me-
lancholy situation; all the bonds of obediencemien% to be dis-
solved ; no Pacha any longer obeys the Sultan's commands; every
ooetakeshis own course, and the mass of the people is everywhere
is favour of the *Russians. In Asia several Fasciae have latterly
eedeavoured to make common mum with the enemy, and have im-
plored the Russian Generals to secure the perpetual possession of
the conquered provinces. At Chatal+, the Grand Vizier, it
is said, refuses to give up the seal of the Empire,
alleging that he has administered the public affairs
carding to his
cosmetic= ; that be cannot be made responsible forisftunes ;
and that be (onsets nothing bet danger to the public good if he
should leave his post at this moment. The Solon is placed in no
WWI embarrassment by this declaration of the Grant Vizier ; for
if be should appoint another Grand Viziera while the.present one
km in his bands the attributes of his office, a public scandal might
time, followed by the formal defection of a proscribed Vizier and
his adherents. In the conduct of the Ottoman Minieters, too, a
, degree of irresolution is visible, which usually precedes a great po.
Utical catastrophe; sod becomes every bout more and dibre evident
that the Ottoman empire is rapidly approothineto Its dissolution,

uy 4.4

The period of re-action in France is hurrying rapidly
to its climax. The infatuated KlNG—bent upon demon-
strating to the end his incapacity to profit by the lesson.
of 'the' past, albeit written in such terrible characters—
has nominated the Prince DE POLIGNAC to be President
of the Council of Ministers. There Is a talk even of the
return of DE VILLELE. An Ordomante recalling this
man to power, would be like the application of a match
to the touch-hole of a cannon : convulsion would be co-
ordinate. We foresaw, from the first appointment of the
POLIGNAC party, what would be the consequences of
that appointment to France. Our readers cannot help
recollecting how we overthrew the disengenuous and cor-
rupt arguments of the Times, who started forward—im-
mediately on the nomination of his French patron—to
vindicate, by sophistries alike flimsy and flagitious, the
accursed policy which he
,knew M. DE POLIGNAC would
follow : and which he has continued to vindicate ever since,
with the damning proofs of its fatality and ruinousness
constantly before his eyes.
But the efforts of our depraved contemporary in sup-
' port of the illiberal system to-day, are more than ordi-
narily subtle and Me.chiaveliari. After noticing the
elevation of DE POLIGNAC to the Presidency,
and instituting a comparison 'between' him and. D.
VILLELE, who filled that post with such deplor-
able efficacy-1i comparison, by the way, in which
be artfully gives all the advantage to the • ex-
Jesuit, whom, far from condemning, he panegyrises
without concealment—he thus proceeds :" As there
now seems to be no doubt that the more liberal part of
the Ultra Ministry has obtained a victory over the more
violent, and that M. DE LA BOURDONN AYE retires
either alone or accompanied with M. DE BotramoNT,
some credibility attaches to the rumour that M. DE
VILLELE is to be again invited to take office." There
is great wickedness in this paragraph. What does the
Times mean, by " the liberal part of the Ultra Mi-
nistry ?" Is it not alike lamentable and detestable, to
witness this base prostitution of the great power of the
press, in the service of malignant systems ? Would it
not be scouted as detestable in France, which yet lags
far behind us in free institutions ? What, then, shall
be said of the professed liberal English writer, who
can put on record such a scoundrel sentiment, and
stand to it without a blush? Suppose Boy nnoNer AT!
and BOURMONT do go out—is the Times prepared to
justify those who would remain behind ? But this is a
needless question, seeing that he
_has justified already
even that ruffianly and traitorous portion, which
he now throws overboard—but only does so,
because clamour and mutiny in the State ship have
demanded that that portion should be the JONAH to
propitiate the storm. We can tell him, however, that
the tempest exacts other sacrifices. PoLIGN AC, and all
his gang must go—or the fated and fatal dynasty will
receive its coup de grace.
But what degree of credibility is it, which—ac-
cording to our :contemporary—attaches to the rumour
of the jesuit VILLELE'S return ? Is it because the so
long retention of the Prince de POLIGNAC against
the sense of the nation, has already nigh lashed it
into insurrection, that he deems it probable the KING
Will take refuge in extremer councils? Is it
because the fire so long pent, and smouldering
in disaffected bosoms, is ready to burst forth si-
multaneously in the four corners of the empire,
he thinks it likely that the Bounnous will recklessly
precipitate the death-warrant of their execrated
power ? No ; he does not so much deem all this,
as he wishes that the hands of an unjust admi-
nistration could be strengthened, by the accession of
yet stronger injustice—and the free spirit of
the people could be again coerced and despot-ridden,
as it was under the old regime. He knows as well
as we do, that there is no chance for VILLELE,
without compromising the very existence of the
Monarchy: he, therefore, only broaches the report
as an " on dit"—quite ready 'to defend its realisa-
tion if, by possibility, it could occur. It is worth
while to notice the different tone in which the
Morning Chronicle—though, but in few words—
alludes to the internal condition of France. He says
that the country is in a state of fermentation, of which
it is difficult to form any conception. At all the
Tables d'H6te, the OBSTINACY and BIGOTRY of the
KING are freely canvassed, and the sinister inten-
tions of the Cabinet openly discussed and reprobated.
The downfal of the POLIGNAC party, or the downfal of
the BOURBONS is at hand.
The death of the Spanish General, EGUIA—of which
an account appeared in our paper of yesterday, tale*
from theCourrier de Bayonne—is remarkable, both front
the peculiar manner in which it was brought about, and
the antecedent history of the victim. The whole of this
man's career has been marked by a rooted hatred of the
Constitutionalists, and the most unrelenting persecutios,;
whenever any of them fell into hie power. Like ELL°,
who appeased the popular fury at Valencia by a violent
death in 1820, EGUIA was employed, on all occasions,
when FERDINAND, or his advisers, wished to sacrifice
the friends •of freedom, without any regard to the
forms of law and justide. He was also a furious bigot in
religion, and consequently a great favourite with the epos-
tolicals. Next to EGUIA, one of the most malignant
and sanguinary enemies of the Constitutional party now
in authority, is d'EseaoNE, Captain General of Catalo-
nia. The government of this man, who is said to be of
Frineh origin, has been marked by a system of cruelty
and persecution, scarcely ever enceeded during the worst
'periods of Spanish history. While noticing the conduct
of d'Eseao NE, it is, however, but fair to add, that there
,highly honourable exceptions in some late nomina-
ting of FERDINAND. Among those meriting to be
61Sepicuonsly distinguished, is General de Fanirizs,the
Gegrentor ot Cadia, also a Frenchman. This officer has
doii much, not only towards reviving the prosperity of
that beautiful city, but to make the inhabitants forget
they are living under the yoke of a despot.

CITY. Twins* o'CLocc.

We are happy to state, that since the commencement of the pro- I
sent Quarter, the 10th October. the improvement in the Revenue
has been considerable, particularly in the Customs and Excise. Of
the former duties, large sums have lately been paid apse timber
and fruits.
Consols remain steady this morning at the prices they left off yes-

it is expected that most of the floating capital in the City win be
laid out in the Funds u the Capitalists are unable, at present, to.
employ their capitals in any kind of commerce.
In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing. As yet, scare;
any of the jobbers/wee made their appearance bathe above Market.
CITY. HALF-PAST ONE.

Up to the present hour we bare neither political intelligence nor.
reports, consequently the Funds condoned steady during the
morning, with about * per cent. fluctuation. Consols in the early
part of the morning were at 91* to * for the present Account, sad
they haws since been done at 9n and ex* Buyers for January
Account ; at present they may be quoted fie to k, and PSI Boyers
for nest time. The fluctuation during the present week has been
about a per cent. Thursday next being settling-day, in Consols
it is presumed that extensive business will be transacted.
In the Foreign Market there is not a. feature worth observation

In the discussions which took place in the Chambers at
Rio Janeiro, the Minister of Marine asked for 4,920,895
'donate, as the resources of his department for the year
and half ensuing for the Navy. This amount was opposed
principally on account of the impoverished state of the
country ; and an amendment was offered, reducing it to
1,500,000 dollars.
Montreal Papers to the 20th October have been re-
ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house.
From the Montreal Paper of the 19th Oct.—A case has
recently been heard and adjudged in the Court of King's
Bench at Quebec, which is of considerable importance to
the mercantile interest. It will be recollected that last
year an order was received by the Custom-house of this
province to take Spanish dollars at the rate of 4s. 4d.
sterling in payment of duties. Several merchants deemed
this an illegal order, and paid their duties under protest,
and an action was instituted by Messrs. Fenley and Co.
of Quebec, to try the case. The Court was unanimously
of opinion, that the Collector, in receiving the dollar at
4e. 4d. sterling, had but collected the exact amount of
the duties imposed by the Act of 14 Geo. 111. and that
he was not by law bound to refund any part of that he
received. The action was dismissed.
From New Orleans we hear that in September nearly
the whole of Major Zuantaenyor's company have been
attacked by the fever. Lieutenant Spencer and six of
hie soldiers have died of it : most of the others are likely
to recover.
The Columbia (S. C.) State Gazette of the 19th says,
the cotton crop throughout the State has been consider-
ably injured by the late drought.
St. John's (New Brunswick) Sept. 30:—Since the
commencement of this month the weather had been much
broken, and unusually cold, and the crops have made but
little progress in ripening, consequently will fall short.
Accounts from New Orleans, dated the latter end of
September, state that the brig Castello arrived there on
the 21st September, from the Havannah, stating that the
second expedition against Mexico had not sailed. Two
hundred volunteers left Havannah about the 10th for
Tampico. News had been received there that a squad-
ron was to sail from Corunna, in Spain, in August, with
3,000 men on board.

The Rev. J. Davison, Rector of Upton-upon-Severn,
Worcestershire, has returned five per cent. on his tithes.
Joseph John Martin, Esq. of Ham-court, returned, unso-
licited, 10 per cent. to his tenantry, at his late audit
held at Upton-upon-Severn. At the late audit of E. T.
Foley, Esq. M.P. of Stoke Edith, 10 cent. was returned
to his tenants at Great Malvern.
Itinerant butchers are now attending most market

Thomas Stevens, Esq. at his Court at Buckland
Brewer, on the 12th inst. through his agent, Mr. Mallett,

LIMA, AUG. 9.—General confidence is more firmly
established, and the intelligence received a few days
ago of an armistice having been agreed upon and
. ratified between Peru and Colombia, leads us confidently
to hope that hostilities will not be renewed. One of
Gen. Wivar's Aides-de-Camp is at present hero, and in
daily communication with this Governmen, et the head of
which Gen. La Fuente still remains as provisionary Su-
preme Chief, until the meeting of Congress, which is ex-
pected to take place in a few days. Of course one of the
first objects of deliberation will be the terms to be ratified
or agreed upon for a confirmed treaty of Peace with Co-
lombia, the present armistice being only for 60 days,
previous to the expiration of which some final treaty must
either be made, or hostilities will again commence.
Little doubt, however, exists, that should General Bo-
livar be reasonable in his demands from this country,
such a treaty will be made, and thus an end be at last put
to the war. Guayaquil is again in the hands of the
Colombians.
