ST. RETECISBURGII, JULY 28.
Foreign Journals, on the credit of pretended letters
from Odessa, announce a speedy conclusion of peace
with Persia, but we know nothing of it here; the pre-
parations of the Governments and the manner in which
the war has been carried on, rather seem to presage
that it wi Ibe of long duration. The operations of this
war for more than a year past have led to on result.
Everybody agrees iii ascribing this to the mea•utcs of
General Yerrnoloff, who had entirely neglected to term
magazines, and at the same time had discontented the
inhabitants and authorities of the country by many ar-
bitrary acts. But the measures of General Diebitso.
his Majesty's Aide•de C rmp, and of the new oltcers
employed in the Commissariat, who have been sent to
the provinces beyond the Caucasua, have at length re-
stored mder, and we may confidently expect soon to
hear of great successes. It is generally believed that
by the treaty of peace we shall obtain the cession to
Russia of the province and city of Erivan, as far as the
left bank of the Ai axes. The inhabitants shew the
greatest eagerness to implore the protev.iou of our
Sovereign.

PERPIGNAN, AUGUST 7.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

A land of 600 or 700 lien, who are designased by
the name of Carlists, appeared before Olot, an.l de•
manded that the arms and equipments should be deli-
vered up t then), and also 100 quadruples. They were
at first refused admittance, but after a fire of muiquetry,
which lasted two hours, they entered.

PARIS, Auc. 13.
The subscription propoied by M. C. Dupin, for a
medal to the memory of Mr. CANNING, amounted yes•
terday to 4 500 francs.
The serious disturbances which have broken out at
Lisbon during the last days of July, and the display of
public opinion in favour of the disgraced Minister, are
a manifest proof that the representative system has in
that country more partisans than men generally sup-
posed, and that the fear of re-actions, which have
weakened it too long. has contributed to strengthen
that idea to its disadvantage. It would be incredible,
indeed, that citizens, who have submitted to a Con-
stitption granted to them by their legitimate Sovereign,
should be alarmed for the consequences of their obe-
dience, whilst the party which has resisted the will of
the Monarch, and against which they have long fought,
derived every advantage from a struggle so long and
so obstinate. This situation is very extraordinary, we
must admit, and we ought not, therefore, to be asto-
nished at the agitated state of men's minds in Portugal.
The tendency of the new policy is disclosed by certain
facts. In Spain, it is clear that its ostensible object is
to obtain greater moderation in the absolute system; and
in Portugal less latitude in the constitutional system.
Thus it constantly happens, that at Madrid it is
among the Apostolical party, and at Lisbon among the
Constitutional party. that the greatest resistance is found.
In Spain, the cry is " Success to the Inquisition;" and
in Portugal, "to the Constitution." In the first place,
it is " Don Carlos for ever," and in the latter " Don
Pedro." To derive an harmonious result from such
discordant ingredients, appears to us a problem which
defies solution, because both countries are celebrated for
the vivid resentments, the ardent passions, and the in-
veterate hatred of their inhabitants. Consequences can
alone prove whether it be possible to hold between the
two parties which exist in those countries an equal ba-
lance, to maintain union and peace in the-midst of all
the elements 91 trouble and discord, and to inspire con-
fidence in the midst of the causes for alarm and distrust."
PARIS, Ave. 14.
One of our subscribers writes us, on occasion of the
affair, of Algier,, a letter, which we publish with plea-
sure, not that we partake of either the opinion or the
hopes of our correspondent on the grave questions
which he discusses, but because it is impossible for us
not to receive favourably the new and patriotic ideas
which his letter c•intains. We appreciate too highly
the immense advantages of the peace which we enjoy,
to adopt projects which would, at least, have the dis-
advantage of interrupting its course. As soon as Al-
giers had the imprudence to attract the attention of
France to its walls, policy and religion conceived that
they were on the eve of a triumph. They beheld, in
a disgraceful neighbourhood, only a glorious booty.
Many sensible persons have partaken the views, we may
say the generous illusions, of the au hor of this letter.
Let us taller hope that fatality will not urge imprudent
aggressors any farther, and that the fortune of Frances
will not be tempted to suffer itselt to be seduced. After
the glory of obtaining a just reparation for the King's
flag, there is no other to be desired by Frahce, as by all
the Governments of the 19 h century, than to maintain
the general peace, of which nations have so much need,
and which is more advantageous to civilization than
the finest conquests.
In this letter, which is of great length, the writer re-
commends the conquest of the count, y, where he would
found Colonies. He asserts the justice of the measure,
by virtue of the law'of retaliation, the Koran having
given to its followers this command, which they have
obeyed-6, Exterminate all who you do not convert."'
He thinks that though the expenle would be con,i.ler-
able. an army of 25,000 men, including 2,000 heavy
cavalry, would be tully sufficient t r overcome all the
forces of the Beys, which cannot exceed 20,0G0 bad
troops, for the inhabitants would lathe- join the in-
•aders. Foreign Posters need not be very je .lous, as
France has but few Colonies, and by this conquest of,
Barbary would s cure Spain, Portugal, and Italy, and
be a great relief even t u the States of the North, for
where is the State that has not a share in the danger
and the disgrace? All the nations of Christendom con-
tribute to fid the slave markets of Algiers—all pay 101
the pirates a tribute like that which the Greeks paid to
the Minotaur.
FROM THE .I"UIINAL DES DEBATE.
LISDON, JULY 28.

(of the Editor or the Lishox Gazelle)
is only a prelude to others. which the events from the
24th to the 28th mutt occasion. We are in the mean-
while in a state of tranquility, which, howeve►, it only

'owing to the arrangements made on the evening of the
27th, between the Ministers and the garrison, and to
the reciprocal fears of the two parties; for they do not
know what effect the dismissal of Saldanha will produce
in the provinces, and particularly in Oporto. where he
has a powerful party. This is the real cause of the pre-
sent apparent tranquillity. Nevertheless, there are
some asseroblls in the streets. The patrols confine
themselves to exhorting the people ro disperse, but ex-
ercise no siolence. indeed, the feeling of the troops
corresponds very much with that of the people. It i,
reporteJ that al the Mini,te:s, with the exception of
Count Di Note. have sent in their resignations. Restos.
Liteodant of -the Police, it is said, is very anxious
to retire from office. Thig, seems to announce serious
fraft its to thl,condutt 41 the Provinces. What has
particularly crinttibated.to rouse the indignation of the
inhabitants of Li.bon is, the belief that General Saldanha
was to have been assassinated had the Princess Regent
signed the four decrees of dismissal which he conveyed
to her. Miring the 21st and 22d, while General Sal-
danha remained at Caldas, assailing the decision on this
business, parties of six or eight horsemen, completely
armed, were met at several points on the roads from
Caldas to Lisboa.

PROM THE CONSTITUTIONNEL.
LISBON, JeLy zo.
_

Since the evening of the 28th, the collections of pe--
ple have become less numerous. Tne patrols of cavalry,
which run through the streets in every settle of the
word, withmtt exercising any severity upon the citi-
zens, are coi.tented with making them separate in
tranquillity.

ltie date of the decree (July 28) for the dismissal of
Jost. Liberato Fteire de Cartalho, from the situation of
Editor of the Lisbon Gazette, shews the great imp Irt-
ance which is attached to it,.since an estraordinai y
courier WO yesterday sent to Caldas to obtain the dis-
missal of an Editor of the Gazette. The Princess was
made to sign the decree in haste, and the courier to
return with it to Lisbon on the same day. The journey
there and back is about 40. French leagues.
'The Comte de Villa Fhw, who has been appointed
Commander-in.Chiet the armed force at I,isbon, has
lost, by the conduct which he purstvd on the 26th,
27th, and 28th, all V,e popularity which he had ac-
quired during hi; command of the Army of the IslArth;
and what has contributed most of all to make him lose
it is, that although the assemblies were composed for
the most part of the elle of the people of Lisbon, they
were in eve, y quai ter treated as nothing else but as-
semblies of the canaille.

We are assured that the Ministers have taken upon
themselves the rep ,nsibility of giving a false date to
the decree from Caldas, for the dismissal of M. Car-
valho, seeing that time is no telegraph dispatch in Por-
tugal, and that the post is not conducted in that coun-
try in such a manner as therrable any person to receive
in the evening an answer to an article published at nine
o'clook in the morning, at Lisbon.
The Count da Ponte, the new Minister of War, is
looked npnn here as the confidential agent and instru-
ment of Sir W. A.Court.
