His Excellency the Liberator President has learnt
that the Grand Convention has been in a state of agita-
tion and disturbance ever since the 50th of May, and
various members, to the number of 26, have withdrawn
from attendance, because they were oppressed by an
opposite party. His Excellency knows not what may
be the result of this occurrence, but seeing that fountain
disturbed from which health was expected to flow, he
has thought it necessary to communicate to the Council,
that they may take into consideration the situation of
the Republic, and to save it from anarchy, when the
Convention shall dissolve itself. On the 11th of June
the remaining Members suspended their sessions, and
the Council of State, on the 16th of June, to save
the country from anarchy, and in consideration, as they
pretended, with the general voice, placed the whole
power in the hands of Bolivar.

We have received German Papers to the 24th inst.

AUGSBURG, Amalie 2!.

The accounts from Constantinople do not yet come down to any
later date than the 26th July. The following particulirs are taken
from a commercial letter of that date. Though the details are
already partly known, the whole may serve to assist in farming; an
e►timate of the state of public opinion in the Turkish Capital.—
" The favourable accounts sent by Hussies' Bey from the camp
at &howls, however exaggerated they may be believed by the
filusselmen, and exciting great joy, have been communicated by
the Reis Effendi to the Dragoman of the several legations, with
the addition of various details, from which so much at least appears,
that the Turks fight with great courage, and dispute with their
opponents every loot of ground, though obey have to bear privations
of all kinds even at Schumla. The most important event is de-
scribed to be an engagement near Yarns on the 20th July, which
continued 12 hours, and in which the Russians are stared to have
lost 2,000 men. An action between the advanced posts nearSchumla
on the 21st is said to have likewise ended to the disadvantage of the
At Widden and Ghlurgevo, the Turks, it is asserted, have
even proceeded to act on the offensive, &c. These circumstances
were soon made public ; and as every thing indicates that the Rus-
sian. intend to make a grand attack on Schumla, further accounts
are of course expected with great impatience. But for these three
days past the Reis Effendi has made no further communication,
though he daily receives couriers from Schumla. Bulletins, pro.
perly so called, have not yet been posted up at the Palace of the
Porte, as was done in former wars. These favourable reports
have. however, accelerated a little the arming the inhabitants of
the capital, and those enrolled in a hundred districts of the city,
are now ready to march at the first order. Hopes are, however,
entertained here, that the main army will maintain:lts defensive
position at Schumla, and that Constantinople will therefore have
nothing to fear• this year. Ibrahim Paella has received positive
orders net to retire; not that the exaggerated hopes begin to vanish
, which the Porte had founded on the Tory Administration that
i surrounded Sir. Canning.

" Lord Cowley's letter, declaring that Admiral Codrington has
been recalled for not hindering the remains of the Turkish and
Egyptian ships from leaving Navarin, and not even opposing the
sailing of Tahir Packs, made a great impression on the Reis Ef.
fendi, as it proves that England firmly adheres to the Convention
of 6th July, and does its utmost to hasten the compliance of it,
however hard the conditions may appear to the Porte. Unhappily
the Porte, by its obstinacy, still binders an arrangement with
England, by which alone its existence can be secured. Canning's
policy to save the Porte by the Treaty of 6th July, is adopted by
the Tories who have succeeded, and we have only to wish that
the Divan may soon become sensible that its salvation entirely de-
pends on its assent to it."
