ODESSA, Avoca: 9.
M. Gmbaldi, Vice-Consul of the King of Sardinia
at Kertsch, arrived here yesterday. to go through the
legal formalities on entering upon his office. On the
day of his departure '26 ships, under different flags, had
arrived at Kertsch, eleven- of which were SArdinietn.—
One of the latter had alrrady begun to take in corn from
the depot at Kertsch. It becomes more and more pro-
bable that that town, on account of its favourable posi-
tion, will become a staple place for all the produce
coming by the Don and the Wolga, and from the coasts
of the Sea of Aznff.

Atm. 13.—Last Sunday the Emperor came to the
residence of her Majesty the Empress in this town, in
order to attend Divine Service. His Majesty afterward)
gave a private audience to Lord Heytesbury, the
British Ambassador Extract linary, who arrived here
on the 9th, after which his Excellency bad the honour
to be presented to her Majesty the Empress and to the
Grand Duke Michael. Their Imperial Majesties, whose
health is perfectly good, returned in the afternoon to
their country residence. On the same day 'it Demme
was performed in the catkedral, on account of the taking
of Kars.

The Danish Ambassador, Count Blome, arrived
here yesterday.
The damage sustained by the machinery of the steam
boat Odessa. which prevented it from sailing on the Sd
tor Eupatoria, is repaired: the vessel 'put to sea yester-
day, and was soon out of sight.
A courier who arrived here yesterday evening brought
the news of the taking of the Turkish fortress of Pori,
situated on the Asiatic coast of the Black Sea, not tar
from Anapa.—Prussion State Gazette. Aug. 29.
The Prussian State Gazette to August SO inclusive
has no news from the theatre of war, except such as
cakes hom the Atigenteine Zeitung and Austrian Observer.

FRONTIERS OF POLAND. Aim. 19.
It is said that the Grand Duke Constantine has re-
ceived directions from the Emperor, his brother, to put
in motion as soon as possible a corps of 30,000 men of
the Polish army. For the present, indeed, this corps is
only to occupy the cantonments left by a part of the
army of General Sacken, who has matched to join the
' army in the field; but it is now scarcely doubted that in
a short time this division of the Polish troops, and per-
haps another corps of them, will be called to take an
active part in the war against the Torks ; and that thus
the Polish warriors will obtain the opportunity they
have long desired of sharing the laurels of their Russian
brethren in arms. It appears that the Grand Duke
Constantine will in no case take a command, bait con-
tinue to reside in Warsaw; but it is reported that his
Imperial Highness will pay a visit to the Empress his
mother, who is the only member of the Imperial family
now atSr.Petersburgh besides the young Grand Duke
Alexander. It was reported that letters had been re-
ceived at Warsaw from the Imperial head-quarters, ac-
cording to which the resistance which the Turks have
hitherto made to the Russians, though unconnected, and
seemingly without any plan, had much exceeded the
expectations of the latter. In particular, the bravery
and skill of the numerous Turkish cavalry are highly
extolled, and they really seem to have caused the Rus-
sians severe loss beyond Baaardjik and Varna. No.
body, however, doobts of the final result of the
campaign, when the Russian army has once passed the
Balkan.--Nuretniairg Gorrespoudent, Aug. 27.
HAMBURGH, Amore an.
Oa the 26th. important dispatches from the Russian
head-quarters were received at Berlin. Their contents
did not transpire; but as the price of Russian Funds
had afterwards r isen, they could not have been of an un-
favourable nature. The Prussian Officers who are with
the Russian army, speak in high terms of the valour
and skill of the Turkish cavalry. Colonel Von Nor-
lite, an able cavalry officer of the school of Bucher,
who bad a mind to try his strength with same of them,
lost his servant on the occasion. Another, in a similar
rencontre, received a severe wound. The Turks still
seem to use their crook sabres with admirable skill.

The Duchess of fiT. AL/SANS is, we understand. a
prey to the Parisians, the storks of her boundless wealth having
led them to look upon her as a fit subject for the exercise of dirk
rapacity. Her Grace gave a dinner the other day at an hotel to
fifteen persons, for which she was charged at the rate of one hun-
dred and sixty-two francs each, besides two thousand francs foe
I the use of the pigeons, a sum in all probability far exceeding its
I worth.—Bsighban Gavotte.
STRAND Ilf PROVIBIENTs.—Workmen ate employed
in pulling down the houses in and contiguous to the Strand, in order
to be in readiness to commence building in the Spring. The en-
tire of the houses in St. Martin's Church-yard and Moore's yard
are pulled down, and even in the present stage of the business, the
ancient church of St. Martin begins to wear an aspect truly grad.
tying to the beholder. Several of the bosses in C3arch4ase and
In New itound.coutt, are pulled down--in Chandoe.street, on one
side, they are polling down very fast, and irine.stmet, which for
years has been a resort for characters of the worst description, is
now amenably.

A rather ludicrous by-scene occurred in the trial at
Lancaster relating to the ship Monarch. Mr. POLLOCK
was speaking the praises of Liverpool, which he com-
mended for its magnificence, its liberality, and its splen-
did institutions for the reward of every species of merit.
Mr. PARKS, who was on the opposite side, affected to
be taking notes, and said, loud enough to be heard by,
those around him, " Magnificent! splendid! liberal!,
equal to the metropolis: Mr. POLLOCK'S gravity was,
disturbed by this, and turning round, he said "Really,
Mr. PAW. it is impossible for me to go on, if you are
making ludicrous comments on what I say." Indeed
(replied Mr. PARKE) 1 am not making ludicrous cons-
mews; I was only taking down your panegyric on my
t.ative town, which I was very glad to hear."

How much reason there is now to wish that those
opinions had pi evailed which, years agorrecommended
the suppression of the Cathbhc Association! It was then
a lamb—it is now a lion ; and though it may be true,
as ffotspur says,.that the " blood snore stirs to rouse a
lion than to start a hare," yet it is hardly necessary, we
think. to breed lions for the sake of hunting them.
Let us not be misunderstood. Lion though it be, still
it is vulnei able : a well-selected pack of hounds would
soon run it down. Dropping the metaphor, the Law
and Constitution of the realm are strong enough to ac-
complish this object ; and accomplished it must be
before Ireland will know that tranquillity which is the
parent of order, industry, and prosperity. It is mere
ignorant absurdity to say that Ireland is now tranquil,
merely because open rebellion does not rage there. The
public mind is in a state of insurrection, from one end
of the island to the other, and all the relations of society',
are unhinged; the elements of civil discord are diffused
more or less in every circle, and ready to assume the
attitude of strife, upon the occurrence of any event cal-,
culated to bring those elements into collision.

And this has been the yolk of the Catholic ♦s-
sociation, with its inflammatory harangues—its
mis-
sionanes—its sent—and us branch clubs and societies.
It has now grown to that bulk, and acquired such a
momentum, that it now moves and acts almost with-
out the application of any visible impulse. When we
speak thus of the Catholic Association, of course we
do not mean the mere knot of manors who congregate
in Dublin, and utter a vast deal of mischievous non■
sense at stated intervals : but we speak of the whole
machinery. of the thing, front the peasant who gives
his peony towards the rent, and the Catholic Priest
who MAIMS him give it, to the return of Mr. O'Cons
situ. for the county of Clue. and the patrician ad-
vocate of Catholic Emancipation, who rises in the
House of Peers to persuade his' hearers that our an
cestors, who established the British Tbrooe and Coo•
aunties upon the rock of Protestantism, were fools
and bigots.
He who does not discover in the present aspect of this
question, grounds for alarm, is more to be envied for
his comfortable dullness, than admired for his faculty
of penetration. The proceedings at the Munster pro.
vincial Meeting last week, disclosed enough. Let us
wait—(and if we seat, we shall not have long to do so)
until the advice then given be follovied.until every
county has its club—and every county club its porn.
cbial or branch clubs—u equally dependent on the
former, u the former are on the Catholic Asssociation
for their guidance and instruction," and then,what blood
most flow, what misery !mewed. what ruin, what de.
vastation ensue, before Ireland will again be in a con-
dition to reap the benefit of all that England has done
for her during the last thirty years—a period fraught
with invaluable legislation, and wanting only time and
repose to mature into practical blessings.

Last night we received the Paris Papers of the Sd
instant; German and Dutch Papers of late date also
came to band. The accounts from Constantinople in
the Freneb Papers state, that the GRAND Vizrea was
expected shortly to set out at the bead of an army to
reinforce Husseta Pawn• at Schumla. A Turkish
Bulletii represents the late :affair bet ire Silistria to have
been very disastrous to the Russians, who had 2,000
men killed on the occasion ; but it is admitted %Et the
result of the action of the 26th ult. before Schumla was
greatly to the disadvantage of the Turks.
The German Papers supply us with accounts from
Odessa and other parts of the Russian dominions, some-
what later than those previously received, but contain no
information of interest. The British Ambassador, Lord
HETTRIBURY, arrived at Odessa on the 9th ult. as pre-
viously stated. An article from Hamburgh states, that on
the 26th August, dispatches from the Remian bead-guar.
ten were received at Berlin, which led to a rise in the
Russian Funds, from which it was naturally inferred
the contents were favourable to the Russians. Prussian
05:ers in the Russian army speak iu high tams of the
Turkish cavalry.

We have received German Papers to the 30th
ult. It is stated from the Moab., that the Emperor
NICHOLAS, with the advice of the English and French
Ambassadors, bad addressed a new representation to
the Porte, and in the meantime the military operations
were not to be interrupted ; on the contrary, reinforce-
ments of great magnitude were proceeding from dif-
ferent directions to the Russian Army, which having
joined, an attack on &bumla was contemplated : the
capture of that fortress was looked to as settling the,
fate of the campaign. The following are extracts:
