RIO JANFrIRO, Juss 20.

You have, no doubt, hcatd if the great disturbance
which wok place in this city lately, between the Ger-
man and Irish troops and the blacks, who were most
injudiciously armed against tt em. Fo tunately a re-
spectable 13riti.h !quasi.° was in the roads, and on
the night of the I I th vie were all much alarmed at
heating guns in the harbour, which, however. turned
out to be signals from the G inge, the British tigiiship,
for disembarking the marines f the squadron. By
day-light they had landed at the At senal (between two
and three hundred men), and looked remarkably well
Soon alterwards'the Emperur galloped in from the I'a-
lace, attended by his body guard, and gave orders to
the English Admiral for the troops tit ma! ch immediately
to the Palace of San Chlistoval, fir the protection of
the green of Portugal. Yi.o may judge of the !Laic
that had seized the. Ministry by the tact, that whist the
Emperor was giving these orders, the Minister of War
tendered his resignation. Tranquillity was soon resumed,
and the British troops were re embarked. A total
change in the Ministry has since taken place.
His imperial Majesty was so much pleased with the
appearance and aid of the English maiinei, who were
commanded by the Admiral's fits( Captain (Inglefield),
on the occasion of the late disturbances, that a notifica-
tion was sent of his Imperial Majesty's pleasure to visit
the flag-ship, and thank the Officers and min for their
timely assistance and good conduct. Great preparations
were accordingly made, and this morning !the English
ships appeared formed in a line, and decorated with
flags in a most beautiful manner; the day was fine,
, and the sea calm. About eleven the Emperor and the
Queen of Portugal (a lovely child of nine years old),
embarked et the Arsenal in the State barge.
On their approacbing the ships, the yards wets
manned ; and when the Emperor set his foot on the
deck of the Ganges, the Imperial standard was displayed
at the maintoptnast head; the band played the beauti-
ful hymn composed by the Empetor, and a Royal salute
was bred by all the British ships, the numerous bat-
teries, the French squadron, and other ships increasing

the roar. Immediately afterwards the Portuguese
flag was hoisted (in honour of the Queen of Portugal,
we suppose), and another general Royal salute saps
fired. The sight was beautiful. We have obtained
the following particulars respecting the Royal visit.
Six young Midshipmen, Howard and Sinclair, sons
of Peers; Graldie and Galway, sons of Generals;
Otway and Gore, sons of Admirals, were stationed
on the accommodation ladder as sidemen. On
the quarter deck. after the first salutes, the Cap-
tains of the Squadron, and the officers of the ship,
were introduced in form to the Emperor and the
Queen. Their Majesties seemed greatly to admire the
fine corps of mariners drawn up on the deck, and they
minutely inspected the noble ship, visiting all the
decks. the store rooms, and honouring even some
of the of private cabins with their presence;
frequently eapressing their admiration at the order
and arrangement of every thing they saw. The
Emperor was extremely inquisitive, occasionally re-
marking "Je hien prvisterai,s for he conversed in
French with the Admiral who conducted him. After
seeing the great gun and broad sword exercise and va-
rious manoeuvres of battles by boarders, firemen, &c.
their Majesties retired to the great cabin, and partook sf
refreshments, the Emperor and Queen alone seated, and
attended by the Admiral and the First Captain. Two of
the Admiral's sons, handsome boys, of 12 and 13, at
tended as pages to the young Queen, and excited con-1
siderable interest. During the repast, the Emperor gave'
the health of King George the Fourth, which was an-
nounced by a Royal salute, in which all the British ships
joined. The Admiral afterwards gave in succession the
health, of the Emperor and the Queen, each toast
being greeted with the roar of sixty -three guns. The
repast finished, the Emperor and the Queen revisited
the lower deck, to see the people at dinner. His Im-
perial Majesty ter& a spoon from one of the marine
mess-tables, and tasted some of their soup, which he
pronounced to be Bien Bon, but be only smelt to the
grog, for he is not a drinker, it seems. Alter about
three hours spent on board, the Royal Party returned
under similar salutes, with three animated cheers from
the sailors on the yards, at the commencement and ter-
mination of each salute. The Emperor appeared much
gratified by his visit, far he brought the Admiral athote
in the Imperial barge, instead-of allowing him to attend
in his own, which followed with the Captains. Nume-
rous pleasure-boats accompanied the Emperor to and
from the ship.

By the French and Hamburgh Papers received yes
terday, extracts from which appear in our front page,
we have news from the Russian headquarters to the
sth ult. and from Odessa to the 12th. These ad.
vices are very important. chiefly from their setting
at rest the rumours which have for several days
prevailed of a dreadibi general battle, of upwards
of it week's duration, having been fought before
Schmitt. No such engagement has taken place,
although daily skirmishes had occurred in the neigh-
bourhood. On the 28th July orders were given for
establishing a battery on the right wing of the Rus-
sisal. The fire of this battery drove the Turks from
the redoubt they were erecting into the town ; but five
thousand men sallied forth immediately to attack
the battery. They threw themselves on the 15tb and
16th Regiments of Chasseurs, occupying an elevation.
The Turks were ultimately repulsed; but the affair
seems to have been a hot one, for the loss of the Tusks
is given at four huodred killed and five hundred wounded,
and that of the Russians at .one hundred killed aad
wounded ; and the operations of the day were only
terminated by the approach of night. Oa shed
night of the twenty-ntuth, a redoubt was raised by
the Russians on the height occupied by them as
the preceding day. The Turks attacked this bat-1
tery, but were driven back. 'they next attempted
to gain possession of the Russian battery of their left
wing, but were repulsed in every attack. A detach.l
meet haying bee° ordered to move forward to Eskii
Stamboul, to intercept the communications between,
Scherala and Constantinople, the Turks were driven
from some heights which they defended, with the loss
of about 100 men. The result of this last movement
demonstrated the possibility of investing the fortress of
Schnnsla on that side also, and the fortifications neces-
sary for cutting off the Tildes from all communication'
with Constantinople were immediately commenced.
&bawls is now laid siege to in form, and it is antici
cipated that the siege will not last beyond a few weeks.l
The Emperor Nreffouss, in the mean time, has felt
himself at liberty to leave the Grand Head Quar-
ters, in cedes' to inspect the operations against Varna
from whence he proceeded to visit his family at
Odessa, where he arrived on the Bth of August.—

at all events, serving as a point upon which in case of
necessity he may fall back.
A report, which bears extreme improbability on the
face of it, prevailed at Odessa, that soon alter the arrival
of the Emperor a Turkish nemiator had arrived, with
proposals from the Commander-in-Chief of the Turkish
army in Schumla. to conclude an Armistice for three
weeks, to allow of a courier being sent to the Sultan,
to acquaint the Sultan with the urgent difficulties in vie
situation'of the Turks. The Emperor NICHOLAS is said
to have agreed to the request.
From Vienna it is stated that the British Ambassador,
Lord HEYTESSURY, not finding the Emperor NICHOLAS
at the Russian Head-quarters, proceeded to Odessa,
whither other diplomatists were also expected to repair.
This fact seems to confirm the report that something
like a Congress is intended to be held there, and that
the E►waaoa's retreat is diplomatic rather than military.

The German Papers received this morning come
down to the 27th ut. According to the Algemeine
Zeilung, very unfavourable repots relative to the Rus-
sian Army were prevalent on the Exchange at Vienna,
originated, it is said, by the speculators in the Funds.—
According to these the Russians were in retreat
before Schumla, and the arrival of the Emperor
NICHOLAS at Odessa is attributed to this rheum.
stance. An Austrian Courier, it is stated, has been
dispatched to Constantinople for the purpose of again
advising the PORTS to yield to the demands of Russia,
and to persuade it to send Plenipotentiaries to the Rus-
sian head quarters. It is stated from Corfu. that the
tortre.ses of Arta and Pievesa, in the Murea, had been
seized upon by an Albanian Chief, who had threatened
to sell them to the Greeks, if Ibrahim Paella did
not satisfy his demands, by the advance of a million
Turkish piastres. These papers contain further details
of the operations of the Russians prior to the 27th of
July. The following are extracts :

BERLIN, Amin 14.

Major Von Schorokont has received his Majesty% permission to
estate in the service of Greece, still retaining Ms rank in the Prus-
sian army. Several of our fortresses are being repaired and provi-
sioned. His Majesty has made a great lddition to the treasures of
oar Museum, by the purchase of the Museum of General Koller,
at Prague. The purchase was made by M. Alexander You
Humboit (who went from TopUts to Prague on purpose) and
Professor Levesow.

VIENNA, AUGUST IG.

Her Majesty the Archduchess Maria Louisa, who, with her son,
is now in Upper Austria, with the Emperor and Empress. will re-
turn to Vienna and see the camp ; and about the 20th of September
set out on her return to Puma. We bear that his Highness the
Duke of Reichstadt will study another year in the Military Academy,
and then enter the army.
There was a gees. bustle on Change yesterday, in consequence
of the arrival of several Cabinet messengers, and the funds rose.
This agitation h ascribed to the unfavourable rumours respecting
the operations of the Russian army, which are still in circulation
to-day; according to these reports, which not only state the Rus-
sians to have been defeated at Varna, but surprised at Schumla,
General Diebitsch being killed on the spot, the Russian army
was retreating, sad this was the reason that the Emperor Nicholas
had gone to Odessa. But nothing Is known either from an official
or even respectable authority of a motion of the Russian army, and
consequently it may be presumed that all these reports originate
with speculators in the funds. An Austrian courier has been sent
fromViruni'to Constantinople. for the purpose, it is said, of again
advising the Porte to yield. and to persuride it to send Plenipoten-
tiaries to the Russian bead-quarters. Madam de Tatischeff, wife
of the Russian Anthasaador, has set out to day for Odessa.
CORFU, JULY 23.

An Albanian Chief, Viii Bey, at the bead of eight thousand
men, has made himself master of tbe fortresses of Arta and Pre-
vesa, and demands of itedschlki Packs a million of Turkish piastres
to pay his troops, threatening, in case of non-compliance, to sell the
two fortresses to the Greeks.-41gesseine Zeitsag, dug. 25.
