We stated a few days sine, on the authority of
a respectable correspondent, that the troops in the
island of Madeira had broken out into acts of insub-
ordination against the Miguelite Captain-General. The
facts, we understand, are these. A Petition had
been signed by a great number of individuals, to be
presented to Don MIGUEL, complaining of the conduct
of the Governor, MONTEIRO, and requiring another
person to be appointed in his place, on account of
many acts of oppression and popular mischief perpe-
trated by him. MONTEIRO, being informed that the
Major commanding the 13th Regiment was one of
these petitioners, ordered a new commanding-officer
to supersede him. The 13th regiment did not
obey the Governor's commands; and in consequence
the 2d Regiment was ordered to disarm the detachment
of the 13th. The 2d Regiment refused, and the whole
garrison participated in the mutiny. At the time of this
occurrence, the news of VILLA FLOR'S victory had not
yet reached Madeira.

The necessity for a Reform in the Representative
system has at no period been so universally admitted, as
it is at present. Whether it be that the existing genera-
tion of reasoners—which has grown up almost entirely
since the country has rested from the excitement and
agitation of those popular debates—has been able to
digest to its better profit many powerful arguments,
which rere then vainly directed to minds heated by
contention, and prejudiced by party views : or whether
the financial extremity towards which the country
is hastening every hour, with the hectic flush of aristo-
cratic wealth and luxury upon her cheek—like a beauty
in a galloping consumption—is producing its very na-
tural effect ; certain it is that the conviction of this great
necessity was never so deep, nor so prevailing. The
tremendous contrast afforded by the bloated opulence
of the privileged orders of society, and the total destitu-
tion
and spreading despair of the inferior classes—is work-
ing at last with &f;l).ttary force upon understandings in-
accessible to allYtah reasonings, until alarmed into a
consideration of ihe rights of others by the suggestions
of approaching danger to themselves : and the contem-
plation that this crisis of things will have to be met by
some irregular and extra-constitutional applications,
which none but a Parliament possessing the national
confidence can ever venture to propose to the people, is
turning even corrupt imaginations towards the polar star
of political reform. Nor, indeed, would there be any
ground to fear for the safety of our invaluable institu-
tions, if this great preliminary of Parliamentary
purification were once accomplished. For all the details
of collateral purgation, which the winnowing hand of
a pure House of Commons can alone introduce into our
public establishments, would be the necessary fruits and
consequences of the reformation of the House itself.
But it is evident, while the system of representation is
left unreformed, that those purities which would be co-
essential with its reform cannot obtain.

Such, then, as we have described above, being the
deep and general conviction, there can be no doubt that
the question of Parliamentary Reform—which has been
so long left to slumber by its truant champions—

will be revived with great interest and energy in the
approaching Session. The battle will be fought in a
broader field than hitherto, and some new leaders will
be conspicuous in it, who have been won over by a con-
templation of the public emergence. At the head
of these, yielding in purity of motive to none, and in
power of persuasion to few, will be the Marquis
of BLANDroRD ; whose motion on the general
question, on the 2d of June, affords but a faint
outline of the grander arguments with which he will

descend into the arena then. Of course, he will not sup-
port Universal Suffrage, nor the Vote by Ballot ; but—
salvia kb—there is no point of political regeneration, to
which the Noble Marquis will not lead his followers ; and
we predict, successfully lead them. He starts untram-
melled in his virgin career, and has already inspired a
general confidence, and great expectation in the country.

Don MIGUEL is organizing the Portuguese army ;
and his first step in effecting this, is the abolition of all
the troops " which took part in the rebellion." The
Order of the day is subjoined,- being received this day
by the Lisbon mail. MIGUEL does not appear at that
time to have heard of his defeat at Terceira.
LISBON, Amor 17.
ORDER OF THE DAY.

The following Decree is announced to the Army :
It being necessary to assemble and organise corps of the
soldiers, all who remained faithful sad did not follow the party of
the rebellion, which began In the city of Oporto on the 16th May
last year, and to take other measures for the organisation of my
army of Portugal. which has been considerably impaired in con-
sequence of the events which took place in the year 1826, I have
t►ought It to order-
-Ist. That all the regiments of artillery, cavalry, and infantry,
and battalions of Caqadores. shall be considered as extinct, which
took part in the rebellion, and also the regiments of cavalry No. 13.
and of infantry Noe. 25 and 26,—which, though created by decree
dab August, 1826, were never formed.

July, 1999).

The Algenteine Zeitung to the 2d inst. is this day re-
ceived, and contains the most gloomy statements with
respect to the affairs of Turkey. No progress has been
made in the negociations for peace ; and the drama is fast
drawing to a close. The following are our extracts :

CONSTANTINOPLE, Auo. 10.

The Reis Effendi, when he intimated to the English and French

Ambassadors that Commissioners were to be sent from Sheath to
the Russian head-quarters, is said abo to have expressed a wish
that by Mr. Gordon's intervention an armistice might be con-
cluded ; but the Ambassador did not seem authorised to assent to
the wishes of the Reis Effendi on this point, and requested him to
address himself to the Prussian General Baron Von Muffling,
who was sent by his Court on an extraordinary mission re-
lathe to the relations between the Porte and Russia. Ge-
neral Mulling is still ill, and it is not known whether the Turkish
Minister has followed the advice of Mr. Gordon or not.—
Meantime great measures of defence are proclaimed ; and a Semen
calls on the whole population of the capital to march against the
enemy. Hitherto it seems to produce no effect, and the volunteers
may be soon counted that repair to Runts TchiSik, where the
Sul-
tan now has his head-quarters. The Sultan thought, by his ap-
pearance in person, to incline the minds of the people in his favour;
but the manner is which his sacred Standard has been conveyed from
Terapia to Ramis Tchiffik. has incensed all the Mouulmen. The
Sultan rode in a carriage, and had the Standard of tbeProphet carried
before it. This is an unheard-of, and,—in the eyes of the faithful
—indecorous innovation, which at this moment looks like presump-
tion. People in the streets were heard to say," It would be better
he should go on foot to the army than let himself be rocked at his
ease here." This temper of the people cannot be unknown to the
Sultan ; and he was very gloomy on the way. The salutes of the
English men-of-war in the Bay of Bujuldere, fired in his honour,
seemed to cheer him a little ; and he immediately ordered the Or-
phan Pacha to go on board the English ships, and thank them
fur this compliment. The accounts from the army, or
rather from Adrianople (for there is no Turkish army
any where together) are very unfavourable. It is feared that the
Grand Vizier is closely shut up in Mum's, and that that place
will surrender. Urgent orders have been sent to Hussein Pacha
at Rudschuk, to relieve the Grand Vizier at Sisomla, if it is still
time. Jamboli is taken by the Russians. and Osman Paella is
now marching with 6,000 men on the way to Kirk -Kilissa, in
order to save that place, if possible. Adrianople is defended by
Abdourahman Pacha, and some officers of engineers are to be sent
to him to superintend the works.
BUCHAREST, Aue. 16.

The Grand Vizier is said to have fallen into disgrace, and to be
recalled from the army. This man, who executed with the greatest
puntuality the order to commence offensive operations which was
given him from Constantinople in June, in spite of all his remon-
strances. now trembles for his life. It is no wonder if many of the
Pachas, and great men of the Turkish empire, wished for a change
of thinly, in order to be free from such despotism. The general
insurrection of the Inhabitants of the Sandia mountains against
the Porte, where the Mabometans and Christians united refuse
obedience to the Sultan, is said to be directed by an old adherent
of the Janissaries, and may have the most dangerous consequence'.

FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, Ace. 16.

An account from Widdin of the Sth inst. says, that before the
Packs of Scutari began his operations against Rachova, he received,

through General Geismar, a letter from Count Diebitich, to the
effect that negotiations for peace were already on foot, and the
Pacha would do well not to commit 'any hostilities in a country
desolated by war and pestilence. The Packs, considering this letter
a rose goerre, contented himself with acknowledging the receipt
of it, and seemed to pay no further attention to it. It is not yet
known in what direction he is going, but there is no doubt that be
has a great force under his command.
JASSY, Auo. IS.

The Grand Visler is said to have made a vigorous silly from
Shumla on the 7th inst. We look for the particulan of this affair.
BELGRADE, Ana Is.

The report that the Grand Mier is gone to Adrianople is not
confirmed. The mistake probably arose from the sending of two
Paellas from Manila, who were afterwards defeated by the 1t...
slant, near Aides.--Ilemborsk Cbrrapondad.

In the following Prints Correspondence, and extracts
from the French Papers, received this day, will be found
au account of the partial success of the Turks at Shumla.
The GRAND VIZIER, by this exploit, it seems, has only
saved his head :

BUCHAREST, Asa. 14.
A courier arrived from Shumla has brought very untoward
news relative to the last action which took plate before that place,

and in of which the Besdan corps of observation
have been to retreat upon Jail Bazar. This event is
said to have taken place in the following manner :—Tbe Russians
had suffered a great deal in one of the last affairs before Shunila,
but they did not thhe the garrison suiciently strong to under-
take any thing against them. Tet the Grand Vizier was de.
termined to try his fattest MKS again : after the delay of a few days
he attacked the besisekternri very suddenly, and succeeded in an

from their polities, but they have left 6,000 prisoners, and have
returned toJeolbstmr. It is added that theTerks have re-taken two
strong poking lo the neighbourhood of Sheath. Of the reserve
of the IRMO sea which arrived in the month of July at Was-
other's, am Jassy,ll,loo have been marched to Magee° and
11,000 to the right bank ot the Bombe. General Kindel; has
sent from Giurgevo 6,000 men to reinforce General Geismar at
Krajova. There is now little doubt but that the Turks will render
themselves once again masters et Kralove, and, in consequence, the
fears of the inhabitants of Little Wallachia are extreme. Ac-
cording to the official Bulletin of Krajova, thirty men, who had
gone down the river as far as the station of the Post at Satinet,
had carried off twelve horses, the postmaster, and two postillions.
Front the Constitutionnel.

News arrived from Shunda announces that the Grand Vizier,
who bad become suspected to Mahound by his inactivity, and
whom the Sultan would have probably deprived of life, bas just
made a desperate attempt, which has partly succeeded. The gar.
rison of Shumla has made a saUy ; the Grand Vizier, to prove that
be had not set off for Constantinople, as bad been reported.
resolved to try fortune a snood time, and to attack once more
the assailants, who believed themselves strong enough to op.
pose him. It Is asserted that the opportunity was well chosen;
he has not only succeeded in 'spelling the Russians from
their post, but has even made prisoners, and obliged the rest
to retire towards Jenibazar. Since this eoponest, the Torts
have recovered the possession of two strong positions in the neigh.
bourbood of Sheath. Sock is the news brought to Ileckuve
we must now wait for their conlinnadon. Ehnen thousand men
of the body of reserve of twenty-two thousand which had palled
the Prod' he the mouth of July, at Wander, near Jassy, have been
directed on Giurgevo; and 11,000 on the right bank of the Da.

the hands of the Turks, and a new eruption b feared in Lesser

SERVIA—FROM THB FRONTIERS. Aoo.lo.
It is rumoured at Belgrade, that the allied Sorts of &slugged
France, which were at Tenedos, have now entered the Darda-
nelles ; the progress of the Rumbas seem to have decided this
movement, that has been long announced by the Turks. The
confirmation of this important event is expected with great Impa-
tience. The news from Constantinople do not mention it; intelli-
gence from Jassy "eau of a sally made by the Grand Vizier ;
and in that case the news of his departure from Schmid' for Add.
ample, with the troops defeated by the Bundaus. as repotted by
the bulletin of Aldus, dated ills& July. would be entirely false.

CITY. TwiLvs o'CLocit.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 88f 89, opened this morning
at 89 for the Maxim; but at present the market does not look so

Consols, which were in the early part of the morning 881 88
for the Account, may at present be quoted 89 to 1, and foe Mousy

In the Foreign Market, the only business doing was in Dania

The Gazette Universal of Greece, of the 18th of July,
gives an account from the camp near Thebes of some
military events between the Greeks and Turks in the
above neighbourhood. In one of the combats which took
place on the 4th of July, to the advantage of the Greeks,
the Turks had 250 killed and wounded, and lost three
standards. _ _

Letters from Zante state that the Greek National
Assembly had been opened by a long speech from Car
d'lstria, on the 23d of July. It was not known whether
Capo d'lstria would be appointed President of that As-
sembly.
Information was received at Toulon from Janina and
Zagheri of the great barbarity experienced there by the
Turks. All the villages have been plundered and de-
stroyed,—the inhabitants tortured and assassinated ;
those who have made their escape have taken refuge in
the caves and mountains. _

Vice-Admiral Runty was to embark without delay in
the Conquerant, for the Levant.
The following important observations on the affairs of
Upper Canada are in a Quebec Paper received yesterday,
of the 30th July :—" We regret exceedingly the state
of affairs in Upper Canada. We repeat, that that pro-
vince cannot be long governed under the present system.
It is really in the same state as Ireland, before the Ca-
tholic Emancipation,—weathering under a system ad-
verse to the opinions, feelings, and interests of the ma-
jority of its inhabitants, and to the rights to which they
consider themselves entitled as British subjects. A Go-
vernment of this character is essentially a Government
of force, and can only exist while it is supported by
force ; a necessary instrument of government, we admit ;
but of all others the one which, for obvious reasons,
ought to be the least used. We also repeat, that nothing
will induce the inhabitants of Upper Canada to abandon
one iota of the common rights which belong to, or have
been enjoyed by, British subjects in the Colonies ; and it
is not for the interest of England they should."
The Hamburgh mail has arrived, but it does not bring
later intelligence than before received by the German
Papers.
Halifax Papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house to the 2d August, which
state, that the militia, which was mustering there, termi-
nated in a furious fight, and an increase of about half a
dozen of the inhabitants to the gaol; and the only very
severe wound received in the whole two days' campaign,
was the breaking of one man's leg;—and the Govern-
ment will, of course, provide for the brave men who are
wounded in their country's service.
Accounts have been received from Rio Janeiro of the
17th July, and we understand that there is more cordi-
ality between the Chambers and the Government than for
some time past. It appears that the imperial mines pro-
duce is falling off: in eight days they have only ob-
tained 411bs.

We often lay most stress on our slightest faults, and have
more from things unessential than irons things essendsl.
