Late accounts front Constantinople, in letters and
papers by the German mail, hAve been received. The
rumoured arrival of Lord COMMA NZ in Greece is again
repeated. - The SULTAN is still pouring his displeasure
on the heads of the devoted J.4nissaries. The accounts
Jf the vintage are highly satisfactory. The following
are extracts:

BUCHAREST, AucusT 1.

According to accounts from Constantinople of 22d
July, which we have received by express, great agitation
still prevailed there, and the execution of the Janis-
saries continued. Oa the 15th July, two wealthy Jews
were executed, one of whom was banker to the Janis-
saries, the other one of the richest bankers in the Em-
pire: his property, of about forty millions of piastres,
was immediately confiscated; business of course is quite
at a stand. The plague rages here as well as at Con-
stantinople. Later letters from Constantinople of the
25th July, bring the (perhaps premature) report that
Lord Cochrane had arrived at Napoli di Romania with
us ships of war.

TRIESTIC, AUGUST 13.

Up to this day no direct and positive information has
been received here respecting the arrival of Lord Coch-

rane ;n Greece. The new., lately givets of his arrival
was founded only on letters ffom Corfu, and, as now
appears, was not true.* However, an older private letter
from Malta, says, that he had passed through those seas,
and had sent one of his ships to. La Valletta, %hid),
however, made but a short stay there. We expect with
Impatience farther accounts from the Morea. The
Captain of a ship which arrived here yesterday from
Constantinople relates, that on the 11th of July be
heard a violent cannonade near the island of Samna,
and had heard afterwards that the Captain Pacha had
attacked that island.
P. S. Almon 14—No further accounts from the Archipelago
have reached us today.
FROM THE RHINE, Atoms 10.

On account of the extremelyafavourable prospect of the approach-
ing vintage, and the total want of demand, wine 'has fallen in some
parts to a price never before heard of. Thus a short time ago, at
Herpheim, near Turkheim on the Hart, where good wine is made,
one of the richest proprietors, who Las the reputation of producing
a very excellent wine, had a public sale, at which a tun (Futter), of
six aums, was sold as follows :

Wine of 1818 from 18 to 36 florins.
1819 90 to 120 florins.
1892 of the. first quality, from 9-50 to 330 florins.

Such instances sufficiently prude the justice of the universal corn
plaints of the decline of agriculture, and the increasing distress of
the landowners. The inhabitants of the countries on the Upper
Rhine, look with envious eyes on the lihenish Prussian Provinces,
where the very inferior Moselle wine sells at five or six times the
price, and other productions are much higher than with us, where
all branches of industry, if not in a very flourishing, are yet on the
whole in a tolerable condition. How long shall we hesitate to
listen to the lessons of experience, and to follow a system which
has produced such favourable results on the neighbouring State ?
The Elections in the Grand Duchy of Hesse are at length termi-
nated, after a long delay. Hi■ Royal Highness the Grand Duke
has been pleased to Ax the 3d of September for the meeting of the
States. In the Province of Rhenish Hesse none of the can.
didates favoured by the Commissioners of the Government have

been elected.

We have received the Etoile of Thursday. It contains
a copy of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation concluded and
ratified between France and the Emperor of 131AZIL, on the 19th
of March, 1826, an abstract of which is given in another column.
By this Treaty the King of Faaticx recognizes in his name, and that
of his successors, the independence of the Brazilian empire, and the
existence of the Imperial dignity in the person of DON Pinata and
his legitimate successors. Both Sovereigns then pledge themselves
to a complete reciprocity in the favours, honours, immunities, and
exemptions of charges which they may bestow on their respective
Ambassadors, Charges d'Affaires, and Accredited Agents. They
agree, and this is an important condition, that the subjects of both
contracting parties shall enjoy within the territories of each other
the most perfect liberty of conscience in matters of Religion. They
are also to be placed in everything on the footing of the must fa-
voured nation.

Tbis Paper also contains some information from Portugal to the
7th instant, which will be found in a preceding column.

MAJOR LA I NG.

When the London Papers of Friday se'nnight announced the ar-
rival of Nlajor LAING at Tunbucitio without any detail:, we readily
concluded, as we wished it to be, that he had reached that place in
safety. But it appears that we have been niktaken, and that the
accounts of his misfortunes, which we received several weeks ago
through a channel exclusively our own, is unfortunately confirmed.
Subsequently to his leaving Twat, the caravan with which he was
travelling was attacked and dispersed by a banditti of barbarous
Arabs, in which attack the Major was unfortunately severely
wounded in the shoulder, and his servant killed. This misionune
will, it is apprehended, oblige Major LA/NO to return again to Tri-
poli, Instead of pros outing his journey down the
.Niger, and solving
the great geographical problem, the course and termination of that
celebrated River. We shall still hope that he will pr red, as we
conceive he runs more danger in returning across the Dom to Tri-
poli than in descending the Niger to the tnean.—Glasge4 Courier.

time since her Indisposition.

HARWICH, Atm 25 —Ouse visitors begin to increase,
and although the arrivals have this season been unusually retarded,
we may yet anticipate a splendid assemblage of company, which the
weU known advantages of this delightful marine retreat have not
hitherto failed to produce.
The Active, Owns, has arrived at Liverpool from
Pernambuco and Paraiba, from the latter place in sixty-one days.
Business had for a long time been in a state of complete stagnation
at Paraiba, owing to the long drought which had prevailed. Cot-
ton was very scarce, and no freights iere to be ►ad. Provisions
were so extremely scarce that numbers were dying daily from fa-
mine, but just before the Active sailed, the rain had set in, which
somewhat revived the hopes of the inhabitants. The town was
crowded with persons from the interior, who had been driven from
their homes to endeavour to And food at Paraiba.

- -
SCARCITY Of WATEIIAt Leicester and its vicinity
there has only been a partial rain foe these sk months. At Hester,
nearly six months have elapsed since any rain fell in that neigh-
bourhood, excepting slight and partial showers at distant intervals,
the supplies of water front which were speedily exhausted by the
inhabitants. At Lincoln and the neighbourhood the same waut 01
water begins to be deeply felt. In the parishes of Sturton anti
Bransby, near Lincoln, the burthen of drought is really horrible—
as water must be fetched for :tiles for every rurpuse, cvco for
the poultry.

LIVERPOOL, AUGUST 24.

The following is a copy of a reply to a memorial forwarded by the
parties connected with the brig Monarch, trust hence fur Bemis
Ayres, to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs :
" GEN7I.V4 IN-Mr. Canning is at present out of town. I cannot
anticipate the view which he may take of your application, but I
have no doubt he will be anxious to claim, for the property of his
Majesty's subjects, any protection not inconsistent with the acknow-
ledged rights which the state of maratime warfare confers upon a
belligerent, in respect to the trade of Newpottrights which Great
Britain has already exercised when herself at war, and the exercising
of which she cannot deny to any other Power.—l am, &c.
