The German Papers received this day bring intelli-
gence from Silistria and Nuremberg, to the 25th of
August ; at which time nothing appeared to be
known there, of the Adrianopolitan armistice. There
is a letter in these Papers from a German Officer,
serving in the army of General DIEBITSCH, from which
it may be inferred that the Russian force—when it moved
upon Adrianople—could not have counted less than
eighty thousand men : that this army was in high
spirits, and excellent condition; and that Constan-
tinople was its infallible goal. The Bulgarians are
beginning to revive, after the devastations and exhaus-
lions of the recent hostilities, and to fraternise with the
victors : while in Russia, military operations—on a
scale commensurate with her ambition are said
to be marching, pari passe, with negociations for the
peaceful establishment of her conquests. We shall
hear of annexations anon. The following are our brief
selections :

'BANKS OF THE MAINE.
A letter from a German officer, serving in the army under Gen.
Dlebitsch, contains the following details of the strength of that
army :
" The Russian army which has crossed the Balkan, was only
from 40 to 45,000 strong. But the reinforcements expected from
the ports of the Black Sea, where they were to be landed, and
also from the banks of the Danube, may be estimated at as many
more. Thus, it may be estimated that the Russian General had not
fewer than 80,000 men, when he advanced against Adrianople;
which is sufficient to dispel the doubts that have been entertained of
the possibility of bis journey, and his victorious march to Constan-
tinople. His army was in excellent condition. abundantly supplied
with every thing, and in the highest spirits. It appears that there was
nothing to be apprehended of a general rising of the Turkish popu-
lation against the Russian army. The Turkish troops have shown
themselves to be totally discouraged—which may be accounted foe
by their belief in fatalism, and the little success they have hitherto
had. Is line, this letter represents Constantinople as the gaol
which the Russians will in a short time infallibly reach."

.

as respects that Journal and its contemporaries....
but it is also as notorious, that this very Paper in question
is famous for its unprincipled depredations, whenever it
finds itself, as it often does, " at the tail of the hunt" in
matters of official communication. The piracy which was

committed upon ourselves, on Saturday, the 29th August
—when we exclusively published at full length the pro-

ion of Count DE VILLA FLoa—did not escape ue,

though we passed it in forbearing silence. On that oc-
casion there was fat and rich pilfering, partly from
our columns, and partly from those of the Globe : the
press was stopped, and the important and authentic
communication extracted—not, certainly, verbatim, for
it was garbled to conceal the larceny—and given, without
acknowledging its source, by the plundering Journal,
as its own.

Now, " we will ask, is it even decent, considering his
political tenets," that he should thus attempt to palm
upon the public—as his proper ornaments—the stolen
jewels of contemporary superiority ? We have
no thought, at all, " that the act was committed by the
zeal of his underling," and we only forbore to " ap-
peal " the next day to his editorial " honesty and
honour," because we felt that it would be a waste of
time and trouble. When, however, we find him ac-
cusing others—and wrongfully accusing, too—of the very
perpetrations which form a part of his habitual practice,
we feel that it would be culpable in us not to disabuse
the credulous dupes of his mock-moral expostulation.
There is a large class of readers, with whom a sancti-
monious whine—or the semblance of virtuous indigna-
tion—passes for the sterling virtue. But in this parti-
cular instance--if the Standard had really done that,
with which it was so impudently charged—it would
amount only to the cry of CLODIITS against adultery.

CITY. Twscvs o'Ccocz.

Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yes-
terday. 119 a for Account, and 891 a for money. at which prices
they remain steady, without any business doing.
Up to the present time we bare no further information from the
theatre of war.
The foreign market is also in a yen inactive state as yet.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

There has been but very little fluctuation In the Consul Market
this morning ; they have been done at 89a for the Account, and at
present may be quoted 891 a and 1194 a for Mosey.
In the Foreign Market, Brazilian Bonds have improved nearly
one per cent. All other foreign securities are the same as yester-
day.

Our City correspondent has just written us to the fol-
lowing effect : " Some surprise is expressed in the City
that no confirmation has as yet been received of the
armistice, and the preliminaries of peace between the
Turks and Russians. The delay is supposed to be owing
to its being sent to the EMPEROR, at St. Petersburgh,
for his ratification, before it is officially published !"
Quebec Papers to the 26th of August, and Montreal
to the 28th of August, have been received at the North
and South American coffee-house.
HA_CSTEAD, At:G. 20.—" In consequence of the pri-
vate advices from England, intimating that the Bill to
make a new division of the Province, and to increase the
representation thereof, which passed in the Provincial
Parliament last Session, had received the Royal assent,
notices have been put in circulation, calling meetings of
the freeholders, of several Townships, for choosing dele-
gates to a general meeting which is to be holden at Len-
naxeville on the 26th inst.
The Montreal Paper of the 27th of August states,
that his Excellency Sir JAMES KEMP is to leave
Quebec for Richelieu, to land at Nicotel, from whence
he is to proceed through the Eastern Township, and is
again expected at Montreal about the middle of September.

General THORNTON stated a very curious circumsts
at a Meeting of the Proprietors of East India Stock,
held this day. The Gallant Officer said that on
the eve of the expiry of the Charter, the most minute
information should be given to the Court of Proprietors.
He had frequently noticed that the House of Commons
was put in possession of information long before the Pro-
prietors of Stock. He should therefore move for a printed
list of all pensions granted by the Company,—to whom
granted,—and for what services. The Honourable Pro-
prietor followed up his motion by observing, that Mrs.
Hulett—widow of the late Bishop of CALCUTTA—had
received a pension of 4001. per annum ; whilst another
lady, equally well entitled, and not nearly so well off,
had been refused a pension of two hundred and fifty
pounds. Whereupon the Chairman of the Meeting said
that the Gallant Officer was in a mistake—not about the
pensions alluded to—but that the information given to
the House of Commons was regularly submitted to the
Proprietors. He therefore hoped the Gallant General
would not press his motion. General T., seeing that no-
thing was to be gained by the matter, accordingly with-
drew it.
We are authorized to contradict the statement which
has appeared in an Evening Paper of the total want of
funds by the agents of Don PEDRO in this country.
There are funds still in hand, but we understand that
there is a difference of opinion as to the mode of applica-
tion. Some are for fitting out an expedition against
Portugal ; others are for allowing things to take their
own coulSe there, and endeavouring to effect a counter-
revolution 'ln all the islands.—Sunday Times.
The Nottinghani Review says—" It gives us great
pain to inform our readers, that during the week dis-
charges have been sent to many of those who are tenants
of the Duke of Newcastle, who, in the exercise of their
right, voted for Mr. Sergeant Wilde, at the late election
for Newark. We have seen one ; the following is a copy:
' I hereby give you notice to quit, yield, and deliver up
to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, or his assigns, at
Lady-day next, old style, in case your year's tenantry
thereof shall then expire, or otherwise at the end of your
year's tenantry thereof which shall expire next after the
end of one half-year from the service of this notice, the
peaceable and quiet possession of all and every the mes-
suages, houses, tenements, closes, lands, tithes, and here-
ditaments whatsoever, situate, lying, being, or arising in
the parish of Newark-upon-Trent, in the county of Not-
tingham, and which you rent of, or hold as tenant to the
said Duke of Newcastle. Dated this 14th of Sept. 1829.
(Signed) " Wu. EDW. TALLIDII. Agent to the said Duke.
To John Taylor, Kirk-gate, Newark.' "
