CEEDINGS WERE POINTED-IT EMBRACED A WIDER

POSES."

These extracts must suffice until to-morrow, when we
promise to give the entire report, accompanied with such
comments, as—under calmer influences—we shall feel it
our bounden duty to put forth. The tools in this hellish
plot were all found guilty, and are to be immediately
executed : but the instigators, the organisers—where
are THEY

In the Frankfort Papers of the 2 ISt inst. received this
morning, we have a singular defence of the inactivity
and indifference displayed by England, Austria, and
Prussia, during the conquest of European Turkey by
the Russians. The three former Powers are admitted to
be deeply interested in the matter, because " England
by its distant, and Austria and Prussia by their near,
possessions, come more or less into contact with the con-
queror and the conquered." They are therefore further
admitted to be—or they might have been—the arbiters
in the cause. The day for arbitration, however, is past ;
and then, enquires the writer, " Is the English policy,
which asks nothing for itself, egotistical ?" No, truly ;
it has not only asked nothing ; but it has tamely per-
mitted itself to be ousted out of its place, and yielded
much without the shadow of a remonstrance. The

Frankfort Papers speak thus :

COLOGNE, OCT. 18.

The Paris Constitutions'sl of the 15th instant contains a long ar-
ticle, in which it endeavoun to prove, that the Commander of the
several corps of the Turkish army will not submit to the conditions
of the treaty concluded at Adrianople. The march of the Pacha
of Widdin to Sophia give It ccculonh for the conjecture and im-
mediately it Is ready with new plans of operation,—removes the
theatre of the new war, of which it dreams, from the east to the
west side of Mount Hcemus,—makes General Diebitach come into

great embarrassment; and Russia, Greece, and all Europe, into
new danger—and all this, for what ?—Why, truly, because
France has not made common cause with Russia in this war!
England's selfish and inhuman conduct is, of course, on this, as on
all other occasions, the cause of these evils. " How many reflec-
tions," says the Journalist, " arise from this concourse of circum-
►tances." Truly we are led to many, and melancholy reflections--
not by the concourse of circumstances in the East, which are only
imaginary—but in the combinations of the Cosssfiturienuci and its
party. From the very beginning of this war to the last mo-
ment, they have dreamt of nothing but conquests and the aggran-
disement of France : while all the Cabinets of Europe—that of
England in particular—have endeavoured to maintain the laud-
able principle of " every mat his own." England, Austria,
and Prussia, were, and still are, without dispute, mote im-
mediately interested in the affairs of the East than France ; be-
cause England by its distant, and Austria and Prussia by their
near possessions, come more or less into contact with the conqueror
or the conquered. These Powers, however, have never spoken of
conquests, though such could only be made by them, or hindered
through them. They, therefore, were the arbiters in the cause ;
and not the more-remotely-interested France. The latter--or at
least the partisans of the plans of French aggrandisement whom
we here censure—wanted to conquer—not to preserve. On which
side, then, we ask, was the selfishness? Is the English policy,
which asks nothing for itself that is, in this case, egotistical ; or is
it the party in France, which, in order to get possession of the ter-
ritory of its neighbours, would plunge all Europe into war, and has
recourse to every sophism in order to justify it ?

The Austrian Observer of the 16th, just received,
gives a letter from Aleppo, dated the 15th August, de-
tailing the fate of NAIM-BEI, whom the SUBLIME
PORTE had sent there in order to collect various extra-
ordinary taxes and contributions, required to meet the
expenses of the war. This otlicer fell a sacrifice to the
disinclination of the people to submit to his exactions ;
and the malcontents afterwards committed many ex-
cesses, in seizing public and private property.

ALEPPO, Auauss 15.
(raox A Limns lISCESTED AT CONSTANTINOPLE.)

It is well known that the Porte, some time ago, sent Commis-
sioners to several provinces of the empire, in order to facilitate
and accel he collection of various extraordinary taxes and
contributions, required to meet the expences of the war. Nal m-
Bei was sent in the beginning of July, with the rank of a capdgi-
bascbi, as Commissioner to Aleppo; but found the inhabitants so
little disposed to pay those taxes, that he thought it necessary and
justifiable to have recourse to violent means. Nairn-Bei was, pro-
bably, too little acquainted with the refractory spirit manifested
on many former occasions, by a part of the inhabitants of Aleppo ;
or placed too much confidence in his own power; but unhappily
atoned for his imprudence with his life.

Oa the 31st July, an armed band of young and desperate mal-
contents, paraded through the city, compelled the Cadi to follow
them to the residence of Naim-bei, and to call on the latter to go
to the Governor of the city. The frightened Cacti obeyed, and
Naim-bei also submitted; but he was scarcely ten paces from
his house when he was attacked by the rioters, pulled from
his horse, and beaten to death with clubs. The Cadi baste'
fed in his tenor to his own house, the rioters attacked the
house of Naim-bei, did not spare even the harem, and retired
with rich booty. The inhabitants, who were thrown into
consternation by this frightful scene, and trembling for their lives
and property, were indebted to their safety and the speedy restora-
tion of order and tranquillity, entirely to the intrepidity and cour-
age of Ali Bey, the Governor ; who, with that presence of mind
and firmness which be has displayed on all occasions, immediately

called together the principal inhabitants, and consulted with them
on the means of seizing the rioters, and recovering the public and
private property which they had plundered. Five days passed in
segociatlons without success; on the contrary the fury of
the rioters increased ; they paraded the streets, compelling

old and young to take arms for the purpose of attacking
and ripening the governor. The latter, sensible that his troops
were too few in number, to put down the rebels, endeavoured•

with much dezteiity and in secret, to assure hintalf of the senti-
ments of the better pan of the inhabitants, who had been com-
pelled by violence to join the doors, to draw them to his sides
and to form a party, with which he resolved to attack the riotous,
on a signal being given on the sth Aug. in the morning. A heavy
cannonade began, which was answered only by a faint fire of
musketry ; the rebels soon found themselves alone ; their leaders
sought safety in flight, and the misled populace dispersed. AU-
Bey, with his troops and pan of the armed citizens, is in pursuit of
the flying chiefs of the rioters. Perfect tranquillity prevails in the
city , and both natives and foreigners, encouraged by a proclama-
tion of the governor, pursue their ousel occupations.—Astrien

The prostrate condition of the SULTAN is far more
strikingly illustrated by his consent to send an Ambas-
sador to St. Petersburgh, than it could be by his ac-
quiescence in any Treaty, no matter how severe the
conditions. It is the last conceivable humiliation to
which the pride of the Ottoman Sovereign could have
subjected itself, and yet retain—though but in outward

s^eming merely—any portion of his Empire undis-
membered. To the custom even of receiving the Am-
bassadors of Christian State", the SUBLIME PORTE has
ever accommodated itself with a stiff frstidiousneis and
condescension: but a delegation—such as this is to
Russia—from the Successor of MAHOMET to the Courts
of the Unbelieving Powers, is not orly unp:ecedented in
Turkish practice, but abhorrent from the very institutions
of Islamism. MAHMOUD may isderd be said to possess
a rage for innovations.
The Separate Act—which we published on Monday—
between Turkey and Russia, relates exclusively to the
Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia. These may
be said now to be wrested from the dominion of the
Turk for ever. The Hospodars who held their dignity
hitherto on a septennial tenure, are by this Treaty to be
invested with it for life, except in the case of a free ab-
dication, or of an expulsion for crime. In fact, they
are to hold their authority during the pleasure of
Russia, for the SULTAN cannot interfere with them
on any pretext. " Their administration shall not be dis-
turbed by any command, tending to the violation of those
rights" which have been stipulated forthem by the Treaties
of NICHOLAS. The better to secure the inviolability of
these territories, there shall not be Mahometan fortifica-
tion—nor even settlement of any kind—on the left bank
of the Danube : nor shall any Mahometan be ever al-
lowed to leave his residence in Wallachia or Moldavia,
on the pretence of trading with Turkey. Whatever
" may be required for the consumption of Constanti-
nople," merchants coming from that place alone—and
furnished with proper passports—shall be admitted into
the Principalities to buy. So that the subjects of the
SULTAN—who is yet acknowledged as feudal Lord, in
spite of all this barring out—cannot enter the Moldavian
territory, even on their So v EREIGN'S business, without
a Moldavian firman ! But this is not all, nor even half.
The Turkish cities on the left bank of the Danube are
to be incorporated with Wallachia; and the Mahometan
proprietors—resident either in these cities or anywhere
left of the Danube—are to sell all their property within
eighteen months to the natives, and decamp : that is,
if they can show a good title to the property : if they
have obtained it—as millions have theirs in France,
and even innocently—through revolutionary contingen-
cies, they must abandon it without indemnity.
Such are some of the means, by which NICHOLAS
is extending Christianity in Moslem Europe, and his
" moderation" carries all before it. Large corn tributes,
and contributions in cattle, provisions, and timber, were
paid annually to the SULTAN by these Principalities, as
well for the supply of Constantinople, as that of the
Danubian fortresses. These, the poor Turk is now con-
strained to say, that he renounces in the most complete
and unconditional manner. All claim to forced service,
by right of feudal supremacy, is in like manner unequi-
vocally relinquished. As an indemnification, however,
to the Grand Seignorial Treasury, Moldavia and Wal-
lachia are to pay MAHuoUD a sort of compensatory
tribute, the amount of which is to be arranged " here-
after" between him and NICHOLAS. But they are not
to be called upon for this tribute, until two years after
the clear evacuation of the Principalities by the troops of
Russia : that is—according to the Treaty of Adrianople—
not for twelve years to come. Is not this "moderate ?”
To say nothing of the intention, never to evacuate the
said Principalities at all.
In the meantime, the Principalities are to enjoy
an unlimited freedom of trade—they are to navigate
the Danube with their own vessels, and go where
they please with their own passports—and they
shall have the right of frequenting, for the purposes
of trade, all harbours and ports of the Sublime
Porte, without being subject to any oppression
whatever. Finally, the internal Government of the
Principalities—agreeably to the spirit and forms in
which it was administered during their occupation by
the Russian armies—ls CONFIRMED BY THE SUBLIME
PORTE: save and except, all infringements upon its
Sovereign dignity!!! Such are the principal stipulations
of this " Separate Act," which—by a gentler transpo-
sition of terms, than it operates on countries—may be
called with great truth an ACT OF SEPARATION, which
it is, of these Principalities from Turkey for ever. It
remains only to add, that the right of these Hospodorates
to maintain a large standing army along the left line of
the Danube is guaranteed by this Convention, under the
portentous appellation of Cordon Sanitaire. Thus the
DANUBE—instead of the Pi uth—is now become the
boundary of Russia Proper ; while the Bul-
garian and Rumelian provinces—owning her yoke,
and governed by her administration—remain un-
annexed, it is true, for a season, but not unoc-
cupied nor unappropriated. It would be a pity to
destroy this eloquent exposition of the views of the ARCH-
PADISHA, by any forced interpretations of our own. The
unembellished simplicity of the Treaty will best illustrate
the " moderation" of the CzAR.

Our private correspondent at Paris has furnished some
information which is entitled to considerable attention at
the present moment ; the more especially, as it seems to
confirm the report alreedy circulated relative to the
growing influence of Russia. We understand that the
Marquis Of PALMELLA will sFortly be in town, and that
his arrival will be followed by some decisive measure on
the part of the Regency, of which his Excellency is at
the head. Besides the letter nom Paris, we call the atten-
tion of our readers to some remarks which a PORTUGUESE
EMIGRANT has addressed to the Times on the subject of
Portugal.

We ere informed that there is not a shadow of foun •
dation for the report that the celebrated Runnymede is
about to be enclosed.

We are much gratified in announcing the partial re-
covery of the Earl of MORLEY, from a severe attack of
gout in the hands and elbows.
Sir EDWARD SUDDEN, the Solicitor-General, made

are deprived to the present hour of any Continental informatin n
and in consequence of which the;Consol Market is in a stagnan

Up to the present hour, we have neither arrivals of ship letters
or any foreign intelligence; nor have we any feature of the least
consequence to communicate in regard to the funds, which have
continued the whole of the morning at Ole for money, and elk

akernately buyers and sellers for the account. The Foreign Market
is in the same uninteresting state as that of the British, with the ex-
ception of a little doing in Mexican Bonds.

Washington, Sept. 21.
GENTLEMEN,—I have the honour to inform you, in
reference to the memorial which you addressed to the
President, that before it reached his hands, he had given
the necessary orders for the employment of such part of
the naval force of the United States, as could be convt•-
niently spared for the public service elsewhere to he off
the coast of Mexico, with a view to the eventual aid
which it might be able to render to the citizens of the
United States, residing in the ports of that country,
where persons or property were exposed to any risk front
the existing state of things there.

Letters from Havannah, of the sth Sept. state, that
the affairs of the dry goods dealers have been settled.
One company has agreed to pay one-third in cash, on
their notes falling due, one-third in eight months, and
one-third in 15 months. The other company has agreed
to pay one-third cash, and the other third in nme months,
and one-third in 18 months.
The New-York Paper states, that the Spanish soldier,
claimed as a deserter at New Orleans, has been discharged
by Judge Preys!, after two hearings, on the ground that
there was no sufficient evidence of his enlistment. The
question of international LW was not touched upon. The
soldier was still imprisoned on a charge of felony made
by some of his comrades.
The sale of indigo, which commenced on the 14th inst.
at the India House, terminated yeste.day afternoon, and,
on the whole, has gone off very unfavourably. At the
commencement of the sale the prices were unusually de-
pressed, and about 1,000 chests of the Company's goods
(broken and speckly) sold at a decline of 9d. to Is. 3d.
per lb. The total quantity put up was 5,671 chests of
Bengal and Benares; 520 chests Madras and Manilla;
1,348 chests of Oude, and 20 chests of Java. Of the
Bengals and Benares, 1,019 chests were withdrawn or
refused ; of the Madras and Manila, 22 chests ; and of
the Oude, 25 chests. Of the private trade goods, about
1,200 chests were bought in, and 1,000 chests refused.
The prices obtained at the sale just concluded, as com-
pared with the July declaration, shows a decline on fine
and good Bengal of 6d. per lb. ; on ditto middling, 6d.
to le. ; on ordinary and mixed, 9d. to Is. 3d. ; on Mad-
ras, about 6d. ; on Oude, fine and good, 6d. to 9d.; and
on middling and ordinary, 3d. to 6d. per lb. The quota-
tions obtained were as follow :-Bengal blue, fine, Bs. to
Bs. 9d. ; purple and violet, 78. 3d. to 7s. 9d.; good and
middling, 6s. 3d. to 78. ; red violet, fine, 7s. 6d. to Bs.
good and middling, 6s. 6d. to 75.; copper, good and fine,
ss. 6d. to 6s. 3d. ; middling and ordinary, 4s. 3d. to ss.
Oudes, violet fine, 6s. to 6s. Bd. ; good and middling,
4s. 6d. to ss. 6d.; copper violet, good, 45. to ss. 9d. ;
ordinary, 2s. 6d. to 3s, 6d. ; Madras violet, good, 4s. to
4s. 6d. ; ordinary and middling, 2s. 9d. to 3s. 9d. ; Ben-
gal texture, 3s. 3d. to 48. 9d. ; Manilla, Is. to 3s. 3d.;
Java, 3s. 9d. to ss. per lb. These quotations, are, as
compared with the prices given in the October sale last
year, from Is. 3d. to 28. lower on Bengals ; from Is. 6d.
to Is. 10d. lower on Oudes ; from Is. to 2s. 3d. lower
on Madras; and from Is. 6d. to 25.6 d. lower on Manilla.
The Montreal Papers contain an interesting expost
of the Chamber of Commerce, on the Newfoundland
fisheries :-Extract of the Report of the Chamber of
Commerce of Saint John's, Newfoundland, for the past
year :-" The cod fishery, being of paramount conside-
ration, must ever excite the greatest interest, and com-
mand the welfare and prosperity of Newfoundland- to
produce fish cheap, and of good quality, should be the
earnest endeavour of every person engaged in the trade
and fisheries.-The Chamber notices with pleasure the
increased cultivation of potatoes and other vegetables,
by planters, engaged in the fisheries. The Chamber
cannot too strongly impress upon the minds of
the people, that already the Norwegians have nearly
driven British fish out of the Spanish market ;
that they are actually interfering by competition
with us in Portugal, that the consumption of bad fish in
Italy has suffered a lamentable diminution within the
past two years ; and that in South America our fish ship-
ments are met with rivals at every port ; and all the fo-
reign markets have been very unfavourable for the sale
of our fish during the past year, and in many instances
the result of our shipments have been almost ruinous.
The Chamber, however, has the satisfaction to ob-
serve the West Indian Colonies continue to take
from the island about the usual quantity annually ;
and that an increased demand and consumption of fish
has evidently taken place in the United Kingdoms, espe-
cially in Ireland. Next to the cod fishery, the Chamber
would notice that important branch of nature, the seal
fishery ; which, though not equally productive as in
some former seasons, has yielded this year a large quan-
tity of oil and skins; the Fishery employing about 300
sail of vessels of all descriptions, and about 5,000 men,
has produced about 190,000 seal, which may be fairly
estimated at 100,0001.
We learn from Philadelphia that the schooner Virginia
arrived there from Buenos Ayres, in 44 days. General
Lavella still remained at the head of the Government,
and things were settling-tranquilly remaining in the
same situation as reported by the two Marys'. No ma-
terial change in the market. The Gazette Mercantile
of the 9th August states, that Gen. Rosas had disbanded
his army, previous to which he summoned the Cacizues
who commanded the different Indians, and announced to
them the conclusion of peace, thanking them for their

assistance.

A robbery was accomplished at the malt and hop stores
of Messrs. Truman, Hanbury, and Co. the extensive
brewers, in Brick-lane, Spitalfields, on Monday night, or
early on Tuesday morning. The goods which the thieves
got possession of were six large pockets of hope, and a
quantity of malt, which they uninterruptedly, from the
ides of their being the servants of the firm, carried off in
broad daylight. The value of the property is about 2501.
