TUESDAY EACNING, JULY 1, 1828.

were at one time greatly exaggerated. and are novi**-
presented as very insignificant, we believe, from the
pretty authentic accounts-which we have received, that
the tollowing particulars cannot well be controvert
Accounts from the Bannat of Temeswar say, that
great quantities of corn and cattle had been purchased
there by the Turks with ready money, and, as well
as the contributions of the same kind imposed in Bul-
garia, have been sent to Silistria. From the entrench;
anent raised for the protection of Servia, it will not bi
easy t' take my post, as it seems to be the intention of
the Turks to protract the war, in hopes of assistance
from tome Christian Powers. The first victory will,
probably, decide on the defection or neutrality of
Seivia. As to tie Russian main army, the posses.'
snits of Brailow is indispensably necessary, if not
fir tfie value of the fortress, yet because its bat..
Series command the junction of the Sereth and the
Pruth, and can thus chili,* obstacles in the way of *
Russian fleet sailing up the river. Silistria, Widditi,
and Nicopoli, would be mutihmore easily taken, it they
could be attacked with wised ships, towed by weaol
boats; and it is to he rephotiederna the RuAians halE
sic* made batter use of the aid of steam-boat: Jo the'
great expedition to Varna and the Danube. On vie
other hand, it is affirmed that the Turkish armies base
i a very great number of foreign officers, and that their
levies, especially of Busniacks. are very numerous: they
appear also to be in no want of spies, particularly gipsies
and WallaJtians. The Russian army has a large number
of light, but not a sufficient number of large cannon. The
Turkish grand army at Schoumla is estimated at above
100,000, in:luding some very well disciplined light
troops. The fanaticism that animates the troops is
great, and if the Russians do not succeed in the first
attack, it is more than problematical, when we consider
the hdt season, the scarcity of fodder for the horses, and ,
the probability of the plague, or other infectious disor-
ders, whether they will be able to pass the Balkan this
campaign. The Russian fleet, though superior in the
number of men, appears to be too weak to force the
Bosphorus. It stems to be the plan of the Turks to
enter Wallachia from Silistria, as soon ai the Russian
army shall have crossed the Danube. In Asia the ope
rations of the Russians are not likely to meet with muck
opposition, as the Pachas will probably remain neuter,
or even join Gen. Paskewitsch.—Nrirem.Corres. June 22.

We learn from Coblentz, that the Government has

Dealers of the For: of London, praying for an additional duty on

tides, be *as opposed to the prayer of it.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he aban.
dosed the duty, not from any change of opinion on the merits of
the case, but because the parties interested had not sufficient time
given them. A promise had been made by his predecessor in office
that no change should be made in the duties on this article without
sufficient notice. Of this he was not aware until lately.
Mr. P. THOMSON wished to know whether it was his in.
Motion to bring forward the measure nest Session?

Order of the Day for the House going into a Committee of Supply.
RRLATIONS WPM PORTUGAL.
Mr. DA WSO N moved that the further consideration of granting
a supply to his Majesty be then read, for the purpose of postponing
k to Wednesday next.
Sir JAMES MACINTOSH then rose, to take the
*seen constitutional method of asking some questions
relative to the state of our foreign policy. He could not
-suffer the Session to terminate without adopting this
course—the more especially as while a war was waging
in the East, a civil commotion existed- in Portugal. He
mould not perplex the House by quotations from jurists
—nor enter into a discussion on international law—what
lie wished to ascertain was, whether bath the opposed
parties in the country of our ancient ally were treated
,by his Majesty's Government with all the rights of bel-
ligerents? and whether if the Junta of Oporto, acting
in the name of Don Pears), weie to dispatch vessels to
blockade the port of Lisbon, they would acknowledge
that blockade as they bad done that of Oporto by Don
Miguel? He did not doubt that the British Govern-
ment would do so, and that if they bad not on former
occasions said they would do so, they would say so on
the present occasion. If so, this would be a sufficient
justification to aim in having brought forward the ques-
tion. In•this hope he would lay aside the consider*.
ti,in of the ungrateful, unnatural, and impious rebellion
which had taken place. He would lay aside the con-
sideration of the crowded state of the prisons of Lisbon,
which bad no equal since the rebellion of 1798. He
would lay aside these. considerations, and observe,
that if the usurpation of Don Miguel was successful,
It would place Portugal in that degraded situatirn
which it had been the policy of England for t.,e
last century to prevent her falling into. This re-
bellion was against Don Pedro the Fourth, his M.
jeily's ally, and for whose service his Majesty's
troops were lately employed. There was on one side
liberty and independence, and on the other slavery and
I intolerance. He did not mean to say that it was the:
case in this instance, but many cases of partial conduct
tiad been witnessed. The document which bad be,n
published regarding the blockade of Oporto was one
hich would operate injuriously to one party, and
savour the atrocious designs of the other. His Majesty's
Government might have given a warning to our mer-
chants trading to Oporto, without all this parade—.
without indeed attaching an importance to the blockade
