HANOVER.

ASTRONOMIC PHENOMENON.—According to ob-
servations made by M. LUTHMER, at Hanover, a re.
markable phenomenon will take place in the course
of tEe next autumn and winter. This phenomenon,
will consist in the conjunction of the two great pla-
nets, Jupiter and Saiurn. These two planets will
appear on the 16th and 18th"of October, at midnight,
in the meridian, and will be visible all the night.

PF.STIT, SEPTEMBER is.
There are several persons here, who, during the
dreadful Lister holiJays, at-Constantinople, were
eye-witnesses or the shamel ul mutilation of the corpse
of the Greek Patriarch, formerly mentioned in the
Allgemeine Zeilung, and who made a description of
it, which I will spare your readers. The corpse was
afterwards dragged by cords fastened to the feet,
through many streets, and purposely before the hotel
of Baron Strogonoff. Hundreds of Greeks, who have
since fled to Russia, will attest this.
ODESSA, SEPTEMBNE 4.

1, Within these two days, a report his been et-en-
laced of a prohibition to export corn to Turkey, as
being shortly to be issued. Those friends of the
Turks hcre, who, from motives of interest, look on a
war with Turkey with horror, see in this prohibition
a proof of the most pacific iiitevaions. Others look
on it as a measure, on the part of our Government,
preparatory to war. Though it might in some mea-
sure have been foreseen, yet the mere report, con-
nected with the abolition of the free port, has pro-
duced an extraordinary stagnation in all business.—
One thought alone comforts us, which is, that if war
breaks out this time, the dominion of the Turks in
Europe would probably soor. be at an end, and the
free navigation of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles
be for ever secured.

Our city, whose trade may be said to depend on
the caprice of the Turks, might then look forward
to the attainment of the highest prosperity.
The number of Russian vessels, which, in conse-
quence of the removal of the embargo at Constanti-
nople to all parts of the Archipelago, loaded for the
most part with corn, and some perhaps with military
stores, is said to have amounted to 200. Baron Stro-
gonoff, who is now out of quarantine, received on
the 2d, a courier from St. Petersburgh. As the rs.
port of the prohibition to export corn was spread im-
mediately after, some persons think that the declara.
tion of war will immediately follow. The native in-
habitants of Odessa have nothing else to wish, for
otherwie, after the loss of our privilege of the corn
trade, we must soon sink into a village of fishermen.
The English here look gloomy, because, in the pre.
sent crisis, they cannot hope for any sale of their im-
.mepse magazine of goods.

\VILNA, SEPTE3II3IR 1.
-In the latter end of last month we had troops of
allarnis continually marching through this town,
most of whom halted for one night, and then conti-
nued their march to the south-west frontiers of the
kingdom. They come from the interior of the empire,
and were all animated with the most ardent attach-
ment and unlimited devotion to their august Monarch,
as well as the joyful hope that they should soon be
able to manifest their feelings in the contest for reli-
gion and humanity. Among these troops were seve-
ral of those corps which we saw pass through seven
years ago, to free the west of Europe from foreign
tyranuy. -The recollection of that eventful period
was renewed in all minds on this occasion ; for our
brave soldiers flatter themselves that theyse called
upon to break the chain of their oppressed brethren
in the south of our Continent, and in those countries
which, on account of their services in the moral im-
provement of mankind, are some of the most inte-
testing on the whole surface of the globe, to restore
the throne of legitimate authority and the empire of
civilization, whose ruins have been buried for four
centuries under barbarism and despotism. It may
be easily supposed that the probable object of the
march of these troops adds to the cordiality whit
which our citizens are used to receive our soldiers.

VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 24.
The Austrian Observer and the Vienna Gazette men.
tion the departure of the Auseilan and Russian Mi-
nisters from Lisbon, on account of the refusal of the
Portuguese Government to give the satisfaction that
was required for the breaking of the windows of the
Austrian Consul-General, last April. The Austrian
Obsei vet remarks on the circular issued by the Por-
ttiguese Government to its Ministers abroad, that
“ it is a most strange assertion in this circular, that
the note delivered by M. de Berk, by order of his
.Court, was induced by a false statement of the affair
published in the English Courier. If it were per. •
mitted to believe that the Imperial Court would be
guided by the statements of foreign newspapers, in
giving instructions to its diplomatic agents, such a
supposition would he wholly arbitrary and ground-
less in the present case, as the direct communication
if M. de Berks himself, founded on indisputable facts,
was fully sufficient to make the affair clear."

The Paris Papers of Saturday mind this fore-
noon.—The determination of Russia still remains
unknown, but symptoms of a less pacific nature
than those which lately prevailed begin toNlisplay
themselves. Much stress had been laid by the friends
to Turkish despotism and cruelty on the Finnan
issued by the GRAND SEIGNOR for the release of the
Russian ccrn-vessels in the port of Constantinople.
The-report of their having been allowed to carry'
their cargoes to the Mediterranean had been repre-
sented as a decisive proof of the conciliatory dispo-
sition entertained by the Divan towards Russia, and
as a sure pledge of the continuance of peace between
the two Empires. Now it appears that the Rus-
sian vessels were permitted to depart, but only on
condition of selling all their cargoes to the Turks,
who. no doubt set a price of their own upon the
corn thus placed at their mercy. This presents the
who!e transaction in a very different point of view,
and gives it a character more nearly approaching
to sequestration than to fair dealing or favour.—lt is,
perhaps, to prevent the possible recurrence of such an
act of liberality on the part of the Porte that the'
Russian Government has prohibited the exportation
of corn from Odessa, the staple commodity of that
place. This prohibition has already produced an
evident alteration in the views and wishes of the pa-
cific traders and letter writers of Odessa. Finding
limits set to their speculations, they begin to think
that the Turks have really behaved with something
like unkindneu towards the Greeks, and that it might
not be very wrong to teach them more respect fur
the Christian faith and for humanity. If, like the
Dutch of old, they trod upon the Cross when they
thought it their interest to do so, they do not hesi-
tate to shew it ample veneration when indifference
or sacrilege have ceased to be profitable. Hence
they now express no horror at the prospect of war
between Russia and Turkey, and if the prohibition
continues, will shortly, perhaps, become warm alvo-•
rates for hostilities.
The Gazctte de France appears to have had some
intelligence firms Vienna, which the Censorship has
giought pro Fer to suppress, there being a large hiatus
in the article under •that head. The following are
other extracts :
PARIS, OCTOBER S.
Marquis de Gartrier, Peer of France, died yester-
day ; he has left no direct heir.
The news from Spain received at Bourdeaux say,
that the epidemic is daily decreasing in violence, and
that it is hoped that the first cold weather will en-
tirely put a stop to it.
LEIPSIC, SEPTEMBER 26.
The last accounts from Brody say, that the Rus-
sian ships which were detained at Constantinople and
other Turkish ports by the late measures, had not
obtained permission to depart, but on condition se
selling all their cargoes. They state further, that
there bad been some serious disputes between the
Turks and the Russians on the frontiers of Bessarabia.
- M. Leardi, the Papal Nuncio at Vienna, has ar-
rived at Dresden with instructions for a definitive
organization of the affairs of the Catholic Church in
Saxony.
