Saturday tsfietnocn the Duke of CLARENCE left town
for Bushy Paik, where his Royal Highness continued
the whole of this day.

By the German Papers of the 11th instant, which
arrived last night, we have received accounts from Con-
stantinople to the 24th ult. which state the arrival in
that city of •e,ious news from E zereum and Trebisond.
Gen. PAsicewirscu, it appears, subsequent to the cap-
ture cf Kars was advancing rapidly towards Trebisond•
where there are magazines cf copper to the amount of
80,000 piastres, which, from the &fenceless state of the
city, cannot fail to fall into his hands.
All the accounts received in the Turkish capital from

the army at Schumla, announce that preparations were
making to oppose the most vigotous resistance to the
expected attack.
An aitcle from Odessa, dated the 23d Ju!y, in the
same Papers, inform us, on the authority of advices
floss the Russian head quarters, that the Turkish army
at Schumla consists of 120 or 130,000 men ; but that
nevertheless, the Russians were firmly resolved to attack
the place. We therefore expect soon to receive news of
some decisive events in that tpi vi ter.
- The Yrustiars &lies tsacette, woich reached us last
last night, contains a more detailed and minute account
of the advance of the Russian army towards Cunstan-
tinople horn the 15th to the Vld ult. of which we gave
accnutit on Thursday.
The State;Paper which we laid before our readers on
Saturday, drawn up by the Brazilian Pienipotentiaries
against the usurpation t f Don Nlrourt, is a document
highly creditable to those functionaries. It is at once
temperate, dignified, and ceeclusire: temperate, in its
mode of charactetisiog acts of-great political enormity
....dignified, in abstaining front all direct inculpation or
censure of the Usurper; and conclusive, as well in iti
historical data, as is its inferences from them, by which
the cerrints delicti is estAbli•hed.
The great queltibn now'rt issue (for great it may be
in rekripies, to the abstract principle which it
involves and the consequences that may ultimately Tr-
ait), is clearly defined in the too hypotheses of the fol-
lowing par graphs:
se We know (and all Publicists bold the same lancuagt) that in
the extinction of the direct and legitimate line of the dynasty
regnant, and when lathe eollaterate Knee there appear as candidates
for the vacant throne a number of pretenders, whose personal rights
are doubtful, it is the dui y of the higher authorities of the State to
decide the important national question; and the history of Portugal
itself affords two examples of this kind, the one on she death of
king Feaotehtfe, and the other ea the period wls.n the Portuguese
nation, onwhfewing off the intolerable rare of Spain, exalted the
August House of Braganza to the Throne.
" But, an that question cannot be raised where the Succession to
a Clown is the result of the right of primogeniture (and such is the
case in that of Portugal, la respect to his Majesty the Emperor of
Beams, the eldest son of his Majesty Don Jona VI. who, has, be-
sides, been recognized bulb by his own father and by all the Powers
of &rope, as Prince Royal te. Pwriptgal, both before and since the
partitive which was made of the Crown of Portugal, by a solemn
Treaty between the two Sovereigns), the hereditary rights of oar
August Master could *at Or made subject of challenge on the demise
of the Yin, his father—nor were :key."
