WA RSA W, SErr, 14.

Accounts deserving of credit have been received from Moscow,
of the taking of Trebisond by the army of Gen. Count P•skewitscb.
Information has also been received here, that the corps of General
Diebitsch is rapidly advancing towards Constantinople.
FRANKFORT, Ssrr. 19.

An Express has brought the prices of Stocks at Vienna ou the
13th, viz —llletalliques, 100 i; Bank Shares, 1,185 1,186.
If we may believe private letters froniVienna, news had been re-
ceived there that a truce was concluded on the 50th of August, in

the camp before Coutantenople, between General Diebitsch and the
Reis Effendi,—•at the instance, and under the joint mediation of
England, France, and Austria.—Frankfart rapers, Sept. 20.
FRONTIERS OF GALICIA, S►rr. 5.

The most judicious measures are taken by our Government to
avert the danger arising from the contagious diseases iu the Princi-
palities ; and several battalions of infantry are said to be ordered
from the Taropol and Padherzt to the frontiers. The progress
of the Russian armies cannot cause more joy at St. Petersburg than
is expressed at Warsaw,—where they hope to have the pl
seeing the Emperor Nicholas again before the end of the year,
and repeat also the publication of a Ukase for the Convocation of the
Diet. Though the Turks nowhere make any serious resistance, and
peace Is confidently expected, the military armaments in the
interior of Russia, have been produced with redoubled activity,
during the last fortnight, and a considerable number of recruits has
been ordered. This measure gives to would-be politicians materials
for all kinds of speculations; while the better-informed, con
vinced of the pacific sentiments of the Russian Emperor, look upon
it. as merely a precaution against unexpected events. The merchants
on their part, do not, on this account, relax in their activity : busi-
ness, which was much increased since the introduction of a freer
system of duties, is very brisk.—Algemeine Zeilung, Sept. 17.

At a late hour this afternoon we received Berlin, St.
Petersburgh, and Dutch Papers, from which we make
the following brief selections. They do not convey any
further intelligence from the seat of war ; they are chiefly
composed of articles which belong to our fashionable in-
telligence, or to the head of accidents and offences :
ST. PETERSBURG, Ave. S.

A Supplement to the Journal de St. Petersburg contains a short
preliminary account of the taking of Adrianople. Speaking of the

conduct of the troops, the General says," Their good conduct and
excellent discipline have, In general, pitted the entire confidence
of the inhabitants, both Christian and Mahometan. The former
•oluntarily take arms in defence of their homes and families ; and,
in concert with our Cossacks, patrol In those directions where they
learn that the remnant of the scattered Turkish troops collect.
The latter having every thing to fear from their own soldiers, who
are under no restraint, hasten to place themselves under our pro-
tection as soon as st. e appear."
BERLIN, Smr. 19.

The Prussian State Gazette of this date contains no news from
Turkey.

THE HAGUE, Sm. Q.

The official Gazette contains a long Ust of promotions in the
army. We learn that the Prince of Orange is going to Ems, to
visit the Grand Duke Constantine. One of the Journals of the
Southern Provinces say, that the King of Prussia, and two of his
sons, are expected at Brussels in the beginning of next month.
The accounts from Guelderiand, North Brabant, and Flanders,

. _
respecting the state of the rivers, are very unfavourable ; extensive
tracts of country are under water.

LEIPSIC, Sam 4.
In the night of the 29th ult. the Count de Cain, French Am-
bassador at the Court of Hanover, on his way from Dresden to
Leipsic, was suddenly stopped by a troop of students of our uni-
versity, who probably had been indulging in a neighbouring inn;
they stopped the horses, broke the lamps, and ill-treated the
postillions and servants of the Crown. They even opened the
coach-doors, and were going to pull out the Ambassador's Lady,
but were prevented on his threatening to fire. Several of them
have since been arrested.

AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 22.EXCHANOlt OP LONDON-. 12 30-2 M.
12 22 s.loth.—.Dutch Papas, Sept. 23.

The meeting to promote the Reformation of the Church
of England, which took place on Thursday last, in the
Council Chamber of the City of Cork, is a sign that the
spirit of change—we mean, wholesome change—is at
last abroad, and is about to deal efficiently and radically
with our diseased establishments. We do not regard so
much what this meeting may produce in the way of im-
mediate accomplishment—or whether its laudable objects
may be pressed triumphantly, or issue in frustration—
as the example which has thus been given to the king-
dom of examining with the deliberate view to their cor-
rection, abuses which time and bigotry had rendered un-
approachably sacred, and barricadoed against the contin-
gency of removal, with the strong fences of popula:•
superstition and prejudice. The v mt., however, has
been " rent in twain," and we can now see to sweep away
the defilements which had been left to accumulate in tile
Temple.
From several circumstances which will not fail to be
remarked, as distinguishing this meeting—the aristo-
cratic rank of the assemblage, and their high Church
and high Tory principles—and especially from the known
politics and family connections of the Noble Chairman,
it may be Inferred, without much liability to mistake,
that Ministers are not wholly unparticipant in its con-
vocation. The blind rumours that our Protestant Church
establishment was going to be meddled with, are at last
traceable to some certain origin—and that origin nothing
less than the Government. It is a work, however, re-
plete with delicacy, difficulty, and danger ; and one of
which it is idle to entertain a hope of the consummation
by a Ministry arrayed against popular feeling, destitute
of popular confidence, unconstitutionally established, and
unconstitutionally governing—for we are .govemed by the
sword now, from the Premier down to the constable—
and in every sense conspicuous for its opposition to public
liberty at home, and incapacity to preserve, if not its
readiness to sacrifice, on all occasions, the honour and
interests of the kingdom in its relations with the Euro-
pean Powers. No, no: the Noble Duke and his colleagues
have gone too far in the career of domestic force Sand
foreign perfidy, to conciliate the country to their longer
continuance in office by any slap-dash overhauling of
the Protestant temporalities, however popular such
overhauling may be. The Stygian monster will not bolt
his second sop so quietly. We repeat, nevertheless,
our conviction that this Meeting will be productive of
that eventual regeneration, for which our corrupt
national Hierarchy is so ripe in rottenness, from
its mitred Princes—through all its intervening
gradations —to the meanest political expectant who
wears its livery. Too much praise cannot be given to
Lord MouNTcasitte, for the fearless—and yet reverent
hand—with which he has lifted the veil that concealed
the features of clerical pride, cupidity, and ambition, and
exposed to the public eye the hitherto hidden hideousness
of the Protestant MOKANNA.

The Standard of last evening commenced his foreign
communications with an amusing solemnity : "As there
are still doubts"—he said—" in the City, with re-
gard to the armistice between the Russians and the
Turks, we communicate from a source of information
which has never deceived us, the following infor-
mation." He then gives verbatim a five-shilling
City report, which was rejected by oar Paper, as
utterly unworthy of credit. We recommend him, in
future, to sing smaller about his important intelligence,
or to contrive to derive it from less questionable sources,
than his and our " wise men in the East."

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
PARIS, TUUDAY EVIVING.

The advices received to-day from Vienna by express, announce
that the conferences for peace between► Turkey and Russia had
not produced a definitive result up to the 2d September, but that
no doubt was entertained of the speedy and satisfactory termina-
tion of hostilities. The English squadron under Sir Pulteney
Malcolm, had appeared off the Dardanelles on the morning of the
29th of August, and the French squadron was expected up from
Smyrna.
From the Nuremberg Correspondent, Sept. 17.
BUCHAREST, Sam g.

The accounts from Aidos bring nothing important from the seat
of war in Rumelia. From the head-quarters of General Kra-
sowski, we learn that a Turkish courier, from Constantinople,
was detained by the Russians before Shumla ; hut, upon examin-
ing his papers, he wu allowed to pass on. His dispatch, ad-
dressed to the Grand Vizier, was of a peaceful character. The
state of health in our city is much better.
FROM THE SERV lAN FRONTIERS, Sur. 6.,

The hopes of a near peace are become more general at Belgrade.
It is confidently stated that the Pacha of Scutari has received a
dispatch from the Grand Viskr, telling him that new negociations
of peace are opened, and commanding hint to abstain from hostili-
ties till further orders. As we are fully aware of the extrentitie

compelling the Porte to peace, and of the moderation of the Em-
perot Nicholas, we do not doubt in the least of the happy result of
those negotiation.

ITALY.

On the sth of September arrived at Ancona, from Corfu, the
lonian ship the African, with dispatches for London. On the fol.
lowing morning arrived the steam-packet Adam, from Zante,
which has brought dispatches from the English Ambassador at
Constantinople, for the Cabinet of St. James's, which, as the
same Florence Paper assures us, must be of great importance.
This same Florence Paper states, as from Argos 15th August,
that the Greek National Assembly had concluded their labours—
it confirmed the Acts of both the other Assemblies, and expressed
its thanks to Count Capo d'lstrias, and an approbation of all his
measures. Ile Parhellenion (the Council of State) is to be called
for the future the Senate (Gerossia) : from a list of 65, 21 are to
be chosen fur this Senate; and out of these 21, 6 are to be named
by the President. George Sissini was the President of the Atbel3l-
- Gen. Zutzel has been appointed Commander-in-Chief of all
the regular troops, and Col. Heydigger, lately departed, has re-
ceived the unanimous thanks of the Assembly, as well as the degree
of a Greek General.

GREECE--ARGOS, Auo. 18.
The Pre4itl,nt has obtained the unanimous approbation of the
Assembly fot all the Acts of his Government ; and as a proof of
gratitude and confidence, his authority has been whinged, and
even extended, a► follows :

The President is empowered to treat with foreign Princes, con-
formably, however, to the regulations of the Assembly of Epi-
daura. One of the most remarkable clauses of these regulations is
the liberty of Candia. The President presents excuse, for having
thus prescribed to himself these limits. The fate of a nation is of
too great importance to take upon one's self the whole responsi-
bility. Another motive, however, may be presumed—he endea,
yours to support his own popularity by flattering the passions of
the Greeks.

CITY, TWELVI O'CLOCK.
Consols opened this morning at 891 for the Account may
be quoted at present 894, with nothing doing as yet. In the
Foreign Market the prices are the same as yesterday.
CITY, HALF-PAST ONE.
There has been but very little fluctuation in the Consol Market
during the morning, and may be quoted at 891 for the Account,
alternately buyers and sellers ; 891 sellers for Money. The specu-
lators are anxiously waiting the arrival of official intelligence of the
armistice between the Russians and Turks, and its delay has rather
damped the Market.
There is nothing doing in the Foreign Market to the present
hour, and the prices are much the same as yesterday.

Jamaica Papers to the 9th August, and Rio Janeiro
to the 29th July, have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house. The Jamaica Paper
states, that by accounts from St. Jago de Cuba of the
Ist inst. there was not a barrel of American flour for
sale at that place, and the Spanish flour lately imported
there in a British vessel was sold at 16 dollars, and of
inferior quality.
Intelligence has been received by the Commodore
Owen, from Campeachy, that that place was in great
consternation, and filled with troops, in daily expecta-
tion of the Spanish expedition from Cuba.
By the Shannon, we learn, that when she left Curacoa
on the 2d inst. the Barham was in a state of great for-
wardness, and would soon be ready for sea.
A violent shock of an earthquake was felt at Green
Island, which continued about three seconds.
The Rio Janeiro Papers do not contain any political
information. The Exchange on London was 26i.
Letters from Gibraltar of 3d September state, that
two persons had died in the hospital there ; and owing to
it being suspected they died of the yellow fever, their
bodies were opened by the physicians. The majority of
them declared against their having died of the yellow
fever.

Accounts from America of the 9th September state,
that a steamer-boat had arrivedthere from Constantinople,
with dispatches for England. It left Pera on the 28th
August, when it was reported that an armistice had been
signed for 15 days, and it was certain that the Sultan
was disposed to make peace. In Constantinople great
alarm prevailed. The rich Armenians, bankers, and the
Jews, had left for the interior. Mr Gordon had fre-
quent interviews with the Reis Effendi, and the other
members of the Divan. The English courier for London
left an hour after his arrival.

The Menai frigate has arrived from Rio de Janeiro,
bringing very favourable accounts from the Imperial
Brazilian mines, the last nine days working of which
produced an average of thirteen pounds per day.
Letters have been received from Chili and Valparaiso,
which are of a favourable nature. Don PINTO was ex-
pected to be re-elected.
Accounts from Lisbon to the 6th Sept. state that the
failure of their expedition against Terceira has caused
great fermentation in the interior of the country. A ves-
sel had just been sent with dispatches for St. Michael's.
Don MIG UEL has conferred more favours on the Barber,
by giving him a superb country seat ! ! !
It was a matter of some surprise to the crowd assem-
bled last night before the new Post-office, that mail carts
were in requisition as usual, it having been understood
that they were to be discontinued and accellerators used
in their stead.

The whole of the audience part of Drury Lane The-
atre has been entirely re-painted and re-embellished.
The prevailing colour is French white, somewhat warmer
in complexion, perhaps, than heretofore. The orna-
ments of the proscenium, ceiling, the fronts of the upper
tier of boxes and galleries, have been re-gilt and burnished,
and new and tasteful designs in scroll work, richly
painted in high relief, are substituted in lien of the
scenes from Shakspeare, which ornamented the front of
the dress circle. The splendid effect of the interior will
be greatly increased by an addition of 20 lights to the
central chandelier, for which also a better mode of venti-
lation has been contrived.

The return of the coal-owners to their former system
of combination and high prices is already severely felt in the port
of Sunderland. The great length of time which the skips have to
lie for a turn prevents them from accomplishing many voyages, and
is the cause of severe privation being endured by the seamen and
their families; and the increased price of coals there, unaccompa=
nied by a corresponding rise of the markets, deprives the ship-
owners of a remunerating profit. Incalculable injury is, by these
means, inflicted upon the town at large.
TILE AMERICAN TA RI FF.—The two parties who
divide the 'United States make the tariff their Shibboleth ; the
Aux, party espouse it, and the Jacirson party decries it, though
with less violence, u it becomes every day a greater favourite with
the people. The New Yo►k Herald says, " Rhode Island is, we
believe, the only State where the American system has been fairly
put to the vote of the people,and the overwhelming majority given
for the tariff candidates is a sufficient answer, if any were needed,
that the people in that State were changing their views on the sub-
ject of domestic industry."
Sunday the sect denominated Primitive Methodists,
but more generally known as " Ranters," held what they termed
a camp meeting in a lane near the West-street toll bar of this town.
During the day crowds of persons licked to the spot, so as to
make the vicinity resemble a fair or some other festival, and several
of the leaders of the party alternately addressed the assemblage,
singing hymns to song tunes, praying, and exhorting. The lan-
guage used by the preachers was certainly energetic, if not very
select, and was plentifully larded with denunciations of danger
and eternal perdition. During the morning some lawless youths
from that hot-bed of vice, the by-lanes and alleys leading out of
West-street, surrounded the waggon in which the preachers and
their friends were stationed, and wanted to drag the vehicle for-
ward to some pit of water. Their intention was, however, frus-
trated, and the proceedings were not interrupted further, except
by the violent action of some of the enthusiastic devotees, who,
by their vociferation, and extraordinary gestures, appeared to be in
convulsions. About five o'clock in the afternooc they had tired
out nearly all their bearers. and then they proceeded in a body to
their small chapel in Innocent-street, singing hymns all the way.

A most disgraceful scene took place at Stamford on
Friday last ; a fellow sold his wife for two shillings wet and two
shillings dry, and delivered her to the purchaser in a halter on the
Market-hill; after which the trio retired to a public-house, to
quaff the heavy wet I—Boston Gazette.
For the last thirteen yearso the Seine has not risen so
high in the month of September as now. In 1816, its height at
the bridge of Tournelle was in this month two metres 92 cent. at
its highest !at the Pont Royal three metres 72 cent. It is ex-
pected that it will attain that rise this year, and perhaps higher, as
the blame appears to be overflowing.
The brickmakers around Glasgow and suburbs have
fini►hed their operations according to their custom at this season
of the year. The manufacturers complain of this season being the
most backward and unfavourable for the trade they ever
emember. They have sustained Immense losses in the
progress of drying and kilning, owing to the continued varied state
of the weather. There were about twenty-five tables in operation
this year. These on an average computation make between four
hundred thousand and five hundred thousand bricks each ; but
most of the tables have made one-fifth past less bricks
this season than in former good years. Taking the trade generally,
there has been a great diminution in the quantity manufactured,
and in consequence bricks have risen about 2s. 6d. per thousand.
A lamentable occurrence took place on Wednesday, at
Belle Vue, between Handeross and Peaspottage-gate, on the Lon-
don road. As Miss Half hide, only daughter of Mr. Geo. Half bide,
an engraver of celebrity. was taking an airing, on horseback,
attended by her groom, her horse tripped and fen, and the young
lady was thrown with great violence to the ground. On being
raised her bead was found to be dreadfully lacerated and
her bonnet being soaked. in blood presented a spectacle—
She was immediately carried to Mr. Knowles's villa, it being the
nearest house, and medical assistance was procured. The saddle
on the side the horse fell, was literally cut to pleces.—Beig4ten

PRINCE LEOPOLD and Mrs. SARAH NIXON

From a Morning Paper.
We have received the following letter from Mrs.
SARAH Hi xcrs , on the subject of the contradiction given
by Sir ROBERT GA ILDINEIL, on behalf of Prince
LEOPOLD, to the statement that the allowance of 241.
granted to Mrs. Hixox by the late Princess Cu.% n-
EorrE, had been discontinued by Prince LEui.oLn, on
the plea of poverty. As we are inclined to believe the
poor woman rather than Sir ROBERT GA RDIN Ea. we
must suppose he has been misled by incorrect informa-
tion. If this statement should meet his eye, he v.-ill, nu
doubt, feel it incumbent to account for the mistake, and
to allow for it; character being as important t.) a poor
woman as to Prince LEo POL D.
