RECEPTION of tlae. FRENCR and ENGLISH
AMBASSADORS AT CONSTANTINOPLE.
•
Extract of a private letter, dated Constantinople. June 1 :
' The Palace of the Frerich Ambassador, in the suburbs of Pen,
orestats the most curious and animating appearance. All the
affluent and distinguished persons of the capital, not only European
Diplomatists, but Turkish officers of all ranks, are hastening to
congratulate his Excellency on his return: It is really curious to
see • les nsilitaires a calcine rouge' (red military cap. the turban being
now out of use) taking the hands of the French officers in the most
affectionate manner, offering them the pipe as an emblem of peace
and hospitality.
" The moment the vessel which brought the French and English
Ambassadors came in sight of the Bosphorus, she was saluted by
all the artillery from the tons. The two Commissioners appointed
'ay the Porte having been to meet them at Scutari, preceded their
Excellencies, with their rowers in their holiday suits, and musicians.
All the ships. of every nation. then in the port of Constantinople,
also saluted them—a crowd of spectators covered the quay. The
Ambassadors were escorted to their hotels by their retpective
Wends, who had awaited their arrival. General Guilleminot was
attended by all the French merchants.
" Mr. Gordon, who appears to be on the most friendly terms
with the French Ambassador, was received in the same flattering
manner. Ile excited more curiosity, but there appeared to be more
cordiality on the part of the Turks towards the Count Guilleminot,
on account of a former friendship which had existed between them.
The General had scarcely arrived at his hotel when be received a
message by the first dragoman from the Reis Effendi.
" The formal entry of the two Ambassadors will take place in
a few days; the preparations are completed. It is not known
whether they will be presented to his Highness on the same day
that they will be received by the Kairnakan, who now acts for the
Grand Vizier. Hitherto etiquette has prevented any thing of this
kind, but it is supposed that the Sultan will permit it to take place
under existing circumstances. The camp of Tarapia is the place
appointed for the performance of the ceremony. It is expected that
an immense concourse of spectators will be present, but the new
regulations have interdicted any display of dress by the public, m
the splendour of this ceremony is to be entirely military.
" Ne. °dation; will be immediately opened, not only on the sub-
ject of the emancipation of Greece. but also for the re-establish-
ment of peace with Russia. The present time is not, however, so
favourable fur negoclations as the last month was—Turkisb pride
has received a severe wound from the applause bestowed on Gen.
Diebitscb, for his conduct on the 11th of June, by the Russian
Cabinet. It is worthy of remark that the Porte, which formerly
concealed its from the populace. was the first in this instance to
inform them of it. hls doubtful whether this event will be fol-
lowed by the results anticipated by the Russians. Most effectual
measures hare been taken to cover Shumia, and to place the gar.
rison on the same footing as it was before the battle of the 11th of
June. A corps of 7,000 men has been ordered to its immediate
reinforcement. and the new preparations are going on with the
greatest activity."

The latest Paris Papers contain no news from the
theatre of warlike operations, nor indeed any news of an
interesting character; unless the tendency which the
French Ministry exhibits to undergo some slight changes
and modifications, can be considered such. The Finance
Minister, Count ROY, it is said, is about to resign, not
being able to agree with his colleagues on their meditated
conversion of the Rentes—a measure which is to be in-
troduced next Session : but there is no conjecture even,
as to his successor. Whatever shape the new-modelled
Cabinet is to assume, a distinguished seat in it is unani-
mously given to M. de PoLio SAC ;and M.M.Cit ATEA y-
e RIAN D and P ASQ UT Lit are with equal confidence named
as seceders.

The Messager des Chambres continues its letters from
Constantinople of the 25th June. The English and French
Ambassadors had been received with great distinction by
the government, and their presence had excited a lively
interest in the people. On the 23d their Excellencies re-
ceived the presents of the Ottoman Porte—Count Gut L-
m !Nor sonic magnificent cachmere shawls, and Mr.
Rom,. al. GORDON some handsome Arabian horses. They
had had two interviews with the RE rs EFFENDI, and
uere to be presented to the SULTAN without delay .
Mutual explanations appear to have been most satisfac-
tory, and the Courts of France and England are restored
to a good understanding with " our old ally." The writer
then proceeds:
. " Silence is still observed respecting the late events before
Shumla. The Authorities watch with the greatest rigour over all
expressions of political opinions. Some persons who had been so
imprudent as to converse aloud in a tavern at Pera of the defeat
of the Grand Vizier, have been arrested and thrown into prison.
The tavern-keeper has lost his head for having endeavoured to de-
fend his guests. The Government does not piblish any Atrial
bulletins ; but it causes news to be circulated by its agents, and wo
to those who shall take it into their heads not only to contradict,?
but even to disbelieve them. Thus it is that it is attempted to
mislead the public respecting the result of the battle of the II th
June ; but fugitives from Shumla: who have arrived at Adrianople,
have spread alarm every where, by saying that the army was com-
pletely defeated, and that at the camp at Shumla, forty men die
daily of the dysentery. It is added that the Russians are making
very great preparations to pass Mc unt Balcan and attack Bourps.

" All this is circulated in whispers. Meantime the people are
perfectly calm : they trust in the Prophet, and in the fortune of
the Sultan.

" The Capitan Pacha, in his late excursion, constantly sailed
along the coact, avoiding to meet the enemy. He returned to the
Bosphorus as soon as he perceived that Admiral Greig was endea-
vouring to driw him into the open sea ; but the presence of the
fleet protects the arrival of 'applies of provisions from the neigh-
bouring porty,Ad its cruise along the coast has doubtless been un-
dertaken for that-purpose.
" Meantime the blockade of the Dardanelles is enforced with
the same rigour by the Russian squadron. Admiral Heyden paid
a visit to the British Ambassador
,as he passed Tenedo.. It was
known that Mr.R Gordon bad minted the English merchants at
Smyrna that his Government did not recognise the extension of
the Greek blockade. There is no news from Asia : in Egypt
trade is entirely annihilated. The Viceroy has given to his sou,
lbraham Parba,!bit command of his fleet, the destination of which
is unknown,"
•
We said *e.ohouldirkurn to the subject of Mr. O'Cow-
N ELL, and hilohddress to the Clare electors. It is quite
necessary that We shottld be understood—when speaking
of the Hod. candidate for Clare—not to he conveying a

censure upon the measure of emancipation, which had
our concurrence certainly in its major provisions, though
in some of its details far otherwise. We know it
may seem invidious to some that any attempt should
be made to separate Mr. O'Cox ri ELL from an act,
which he was so instrumental in obtaining for Ire-
land : but we feel that it will be for the good of Ireland,
that her cause should no longer be made one with
O'CoN N ELL'S. Even admitting that the Hon. Agitator
is politically sincere, and that his declarations of patriotic
attachment and devotion cannot be impugned; that he is
incorruptible, and free from all improper bias in favour of
one religion against another—the extremes to which he
pledges himself are impracticable and revolutionary. The
repeal of the Union—the restoration of " a domestic and
resident Legislature"—in other words, the legislative in-
dependence of Ireland, will never be listened to by this
country. An independence, such as Mr. O'CuNN ELL
contemplates—such, indeed, as we know he seeks—is
not in the nature of things, regard being had to
the relation in which the two kingdoms reciprocally
stand. It is time for tho Honourable Gentleman to
leave off his cant phraseology of " great, glorious, and
free," as applied exclusively to any passible political
exaltation of Ireland, either over, or en a parity with
England: or at once honestly to declare, that he com-
passes an establishment for Ireland independent of the
English Crown. It was all very well, while he had a
pretext for agitation, which has been removiKl by the late
enactments, to quote from Erin's popular and enthusiastic
favourite, dreams of high poesy which fact and reality
ignore. But the change of circumstances ought to in-

duce a change of language, and a circumspection of
public demeanour. Mr. (nos s ELL should practise
less ►►pon the inflammable constit►►tion of his country-
men, and be more conciliatory—as well as more
guarded—when he speaks of England. Does he
suppose that we have yet forgotten the threat with
which he retreated to Ireland, after the great boon
which ho contended for had been conceded, but himself
momentarily foiled ? Does he suppose that the people
of England forget it, any more than we ; hurled, as it
was, with an audacity only paralleled by its impolicy,
immediately after the act which equalised the two reli-
gions in the State? It is hardly necessary to remind
our readers, that this threat was a spoliation of
the Protestant ecclesinstieul revenues : a direct an-
nouncement, that he would procure to be divided among
his Catholic followers a large portion of the wealth of
our " pampered and overgrown establishment." We
know, to be sure, that he has no power to perform such
promises ; but his capability to give them ►►tterance is a
fearful omen of the rashness, the violence, and the injus-
tice to be expected from him, if he could once obtain a
clear arena, and sufficient auxiliaries to back him.
For the manifestation, therefore—not occasionally, but
on all occasions—of such principles and tendencies as.
these, we shall make it a point, at all events till we per-
ceive healthier symptoms in his public conduct, to
separate Mr. °Vox N El. I. very widely from the general
Irish question :as widely, in fact, as—if Mr. O'Cow-
NELL had his will—he would separate Ireland itself from
England.

In another column will be found a proclamation from
the Conde de VILLA FLOIt at Terceira, whose general
organization of the defences of that island we noticed
yesterday. The personal qualities of this brave Com-
mander, whom no one has ventured to call a revolu-
tionary character, surround the enterprise to which he
and his faithful companions have devoted themselves,
with an almoit romantic interest. It gives us much de
light, therefore, to hear that the means which had been
placed at their disposal have increased, through the
resources_ of their loyalty and unabated spirit ; not
only unassisted as they are, and cut off from all
approach of auxiliary contingency, but having the
soi-disant friends of monarchy arrrayed against them on
the side of usurpation and tyranny. The resolution of the
defi"nders of Terceira has been taken, to die on the field,
rather than submit to be torn in pieces by the cannibals of
Lisbon. According to most authentic information, Don ,
c; u r r.—unless assisted by France or England—has
not the necessary means to reduce Terceira. Let it he
remembered that in 1583 Spain sent against that island
an incredibly large armament, commanded by BAZAR,
Marquis of SANTA Cat- z, one of the first Admirals of those
days : and that in this expedition were embarked nearly
twelve thousand infantry, commanded by veteran Officers
of the Flanders campaign—a large portion, too, of the
troops belonging to the Flanders army—such' was the
opinion of the force necessary to reduce its.—
It is in the power of the Emperor of BRAZIL not
only to give assistance to the defenders of Terceira, but to
place at the disposal of Count VI 1.1.,t no It such an
armament, as would enable him to renew in Portugal the
services which he conferred upon his country in 1826 and
1827. Four Brazilian vessels, under the direction of a
few spirited volunteers, would at this moment be sufficient
to change the destinies of Portugal: for there is a
powerful party there in favour of the young Queen, who
only wait the sigual and assurance of such effectual co-
operation, to burst their fetters and re-establish the Con-
, stitution, and the rightful Sovereign.

German Papers have arrived by this day's mail, by
which we have additional information from Constantino-
ple regarding the reception of the English and French
Ambassadors. The Nurembuty Correspondent of the
17th instant says, that the day of their arrival was a fes-
tival for the inhabitants of Constantinople, of all nations,
religions, and languages, without distinction, who
crowded to meet them, and expressed their joy in all
possible ways.—The same Journal has the following sin.
gular piece of news :
" For these last ten days no &mans have bees granted to Aus-
trian ships to go to the Black Sea, !venue several Austrian vessels
are said to have carried supplies to the Russians. The Reis Effendi
is said to have complained to the Intiernancin, and auignid this as
a cause of the refusal. The English and French fleets have taken
their station near Tentdos, and it seems they will await the result

of the nesneladons respecting Greece. Provisions are still dear,
bat there is no actual scarcity."
Besides the above, the following are the only articles
of intelligence worth extracting from the German Papers :

AGRAM, JIM' 4.

All Namik Pacha, Governor of Bosnia, has issued orders to the
four provinces of Zwornlk, Saravro, Kilns, and Mersegowina, to
assemble 5,000 men—partly infantry and partly cavalry—at Novi
Bazar, the frontier town of Bosnia, between Servia and Albania,
whither further orders will be given to proceed to Shoals or
Widdin, or to join the Packs of Scutari, who is to assemble 60,000
Albanians under his command. A chief, with the rank of Sandjak
Bey (or Brigadier General), is placed over each province. They
have been allowed to pay their respects to the Vizier at Travanik,
where they were invested with pelisses sent from Constantinople.
—There has lately been a frequent exchange of couriers between
the authotities at Sarawo, the. Pacha of Scutari, the metropolitan
of Montenegro, and Prince Milosh the Servian Chit& The object
of this correspondence is not known.-4grans Gazette.

NUREMBURG, JULY 17.

Several of our journals, and now also the Political Jetaisal of
Munich, contain the following article : " It has been stated la some
papers that the negotiations at Berlin for the conclusion of a com-
mercial treaty between the kingdoms of Bavaria and Wurtemburg
mope part, and the kingdom of Prussia and the Grand Duchy of
Hesse on the other, have not been successful, and the ratifications
have met with difiiculties. We are informed upon good authority
that this report is wholly unfounded—that the Treaty is in fact

concluded, and the exebange of the radfications nay be expected to
take place very shortly."

VIENNA, JULY 13.

The news 6f the fall of SUistria arrived here on the lltis. The
funds rose at first, but afterwards declined, when it transpired that
M. Fonton bad returned without success from Shumla to the Rus-
sian head-quarters, and that consequently there was no immediate
hope for peace.
MetaUiques, 99 5-16; Bank Shares, 1,116;; (in the evening,
1,117).

The Algemeine Zeitung received this day has an ar-
ticle from Rome, of the 9th instant, which sets forth that
on the .sth Cardinel Bernetti left Rome for his legation,
Bologna, and a special commissioner repaired to Imola to
inquire into the tumult that has taken place there. It is
confirmed that only the lowest of the populace took part
in it. The same article proceeds in this manner :
" While German and French journals repeatedly speak of
a mission of Mr. Peter Von Fenton, Russian Council-
lor of State, to the Turkish head quarters, we can posi-
tively affirm that be is at present at Naples."
It appears, by accounts from Brandenburg, that the
mission of Baron Muffling, on the part of the King of
Prussia to Constantinople, is to make imposing remon-
strances as a mediator, in settling the affairs between
Russia and Turkey.
The Hamburgh steamer, which should have arrived
last Monday, has come to-day, and brought Hamburgh
Papers of the 17th inst. which are void of interest :
Borsen Halle.—Wheat.—ln consequence of some pur-
chases made on foreign account, and the trifling amount
of arrivals, our market has been nearly cleared of heavy
'samples, and none but those of inferior quality remain
on hand. Our own consumers have also made some
purchases. The funds are of easy sale, owing to some
very large purchases. Discounts 3i per cent. Bills on
London and Amsterdam are in demand.

Boston Papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee House, one day later, to the 2d
of July. The schooner Hannah arrived at Philadelphia
from Cape Mesurado, Africa, on the sth April. Off
Grand Drewin, two canoes came off, having a white
man with them, whom they wished to sell, but they de-
mended an exhorbitant price for his ransom. Possession
was taken of the canoes and the white man rescued ; his
name is Samuel Goslin, of London ; he belonged to the
British schooner, Lydia, from London to Cape Coast ;
and on the 22d of March, while trading in the Coast,
the Captain, himself, and another, were knocked over-
board by the natives. The Captain was drowned, and
himself and the other person taken prisoners. The rest
of the crew succeeded in making their escape with
the schooner.

CITY. Twacvs o'CLocK.

Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yes-
terday, 89k, both for money and for the 27th of Angist, and at
present no speculations are going forward.
The following Is the detail of the melancholy circumstance which
we gave yesterday from the City, as this morning given in some of
the Papers very strong sensation was erected in the Stock
Exchange yesterday, by an intimation that a Mr. Slatford, for
a number of years an extensive speculator in the Funds. had com
omitted suicide at his lodgings, in the City-road, having, as ascer-
tained, differences to pay, which he was incompetent to meet.
Not having reached the market as early as usual on a pay-day,
his friends and creditors began to entertain some suspicion that
all was not right, and sent to ascertain the cause of his absence
at his lodgings, when be sent an answer that he bad overslept
himself, but would attend in the market at twelve o'clock. This,
it would seem, was the particular hour when he destroyed himself
by a pistol, the ball of which passed through his bead. The event
was not known at the Stock Exchange trial nearly half-past two
o'clock, when Consols for Account, which had been steady at about
821, dropped to 881—a number of dealers selling Stock against
what they had previously bought, which could not be delivered by
Mr. Slatford. His differences, however, excepting his private
debts, it is understood, do not exceed 1,0001.
CITY. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

Consols were done in the early part of the morning at SSOh to
far the Account, since which they have continued at $9 to I, with
nothing doing. A Holiday at the Bank.

CURIOUS CUSTOld.instead of a complimentary
speech in addressing a superior, the Chinese deliver the compli-
ment in writing, the smallness of the letters being proportioned to
the degree of respect intended ; and the highest compliment is to

Sir Henry Bouverie, who for the last week has been
sojourning at the Royal Hotel and Bridgwater Arms Inn, Man-
chester, has taken his departure from thence, for the purpose of
