TRIPOLI.

Nam, Serr.l7.—The notice given by the Chamber of Co in-
'nierce at Marseilles, and published in our yesterday's number,
might perhaps cause it to be feared that a rupture would take p 1 we
with that l'uwer, and we therefore think it our duty to give some
explanation calculated to make the merchants easy on the subject.
It was known some days ago, that Baron Rousseau, his Ma-
jesty's Consul-General and Charge d'Affaires at Tripoli, had taken
down his flag, in consequence of very serious disputes between the
Pacha and him relative to the papers of Major Laing. If we may
give credit to the private information which we have received,
Baron Rousseau is implicated in this affair. The misunderstanding
between the Consul and the Paella having no other cause than the
private conduct of the former, we have not thought it necessary to
acquaint the public till certain documents, which are promised very
shortly, should have reached us. We believe that the merchants
have no reason to fear a rupture with Tripoli, because the French
Government has not been insulted in the person of its Consul ; and
what tends to confirm our opinion is, that the Pacha has repeatedly
declared to M. Rousseau that he was going to write himself to the
French Government, to assure it of his friendship and deference ;
that if the Consul went away, be should, notwithstanding, consi-
der himself at peace with France, and that all the subjects of that
nation residing at Tripoli should be the object of his special pro-
tection. As soon as the official documents, which we expect, have
reached us, we shall immediately make them public.
Here follows, under the head of News from Tripoli, a long
article extracted from the Senaphore, of Marseilles, the sub-
stance of which is, that in consequence of the researches made
by Mr. Warrington, the English Consul, and father-in-law of
Major Laing, there was reason to believe that the papers of the
Major had been brought to Tripoli by some people of Ghadames,
and that a Turk, named Hassouna-llghies, received then in a
mysterious manner. • Mr. Warrington having so tar proceeded
that the truth was at length on the point of being discovered,
Hassouna not daring to wait for the result, took refuge with Mr.
Coxe, the American Consul. The Pacha signified to Mr.
Cale, that he acknowledged the inviolability of the asylum
granted to the Turk, but that as his evidence was necessary in the
investigation of the assassination of Alajor Laing, he begged him
not to favour his flight. Mr. Warrington wrote in the same man-
ner to his colleague. However Hassouna left Tripoli in the night of
:he 9th of August, disguised as, it is said, an American officer, and
took refuge on board the American corvette Fairfield, Capt. Parker,
then in the road of Tripoli, and which weighed anchor on the 10th
of August, in the morning. The Pacha. enraged at the escape of
blassouna, sent for his brother Mahonimed,who ou being threatened
confessed in writing, and upon oath, that Hassouna his brother had
had the bilijori papers in his possession, but had given them up to a
person whom we shall not name, for deduction of 40 per cent. on
the debts which he had contracted in France, and of which the
latter was code:mooring to obtain payment. 111ohantmed's de-
claration, Which fills three pages, contains valuable and numerous
particulars respecting the Major's papers. However, when be
left the palace, fearing that the Pacha might punish him instead
of his brother, he went to take refuge with the person of whom

No reasoning can prevent the present epoch from being one of
political decay for England. No sophism can restore to her that
power over Europe which she has voluntarily alienated. This may
arise, perhaps, from the ambition of Russia—from the weakness of
the Ottoman Empire—from the lethargy of Austria, and the in-
difference of Prussia. The cause, however, is of no consequence;
but it is certain that in 1827, the expression was, if " England
pleases," while, in 1829, it is every where said, whether '+ England
likes it or not, is of no consequence."
In order to judge correctly of a present circumstance, we must
sometimes remember the past and look to the future. Let us sup-
pose, therefore, that Sir J. Mackintosh, Mr. Brougham, Lord Hol-
land, or Lord Lansdown, had stated two years ago, as a rhetorical
figure, that the giant of the North would press in a short time the
capital of the Ottoman empire both in Europe and Asia ; that the
ports on the south of the Euxine would receive Russian garrisons,
while the Cossacks were threatening the castles at the Dardanelles,
the Members of the Opposition themselves would have found the
assertion a little too strong, and the Ministerial orators would have
replied by a haughty appeal to British dignity, to the influence of
Britain abroad, and to all those common-places about national
power and honour, with which the good easy people are every
where so readily satisfied.
But all these things have happened, and perhaps only the half
of the events which are preparing are yet known to us. What
then has changed in England? Nothing, except the language.
The Russian Colossus is nothing more than a mild and mode-
rate Prince, who takes up arms to lay theta down at the first
summons, by those who wished his expedition to sail, in the
most exemplary manner. He is a conqueror who invades only
to restore—who is only going to Constantinople to convince his
enemy of his own weakness, and consequently inform him of
the means by which he may re-assume his old rivalry. We
shall not be surprised, should it be stated at London that Mali-
mood was to be indemnified for the sacrifices his resistance has cost
him. The Emperor of Russia has visited the straight where the
trade of his most fertile province is exposed to even renewed out-
rages, and sometimes threatened with complete interruption—and
he is to return without insuring his commercial marine that de-
velopment to which it has a right, and without which it cannot
exist. Who knows that Mahmoud will not demand from bins the
cession of Sebastopol and Odessa?
In fact, it is to amuse one's self with Russia to expect to catch
her in such a net. What! when you doubted her success—when
you wished to see pestilence and famine in her camps, and her ves-
sels exposed to hurricanes; then you had, in speaking of her Sove-
reign, no other words in your mouth than ambition—spirit of con-
quest—and invasion ; and now, when you see, with your arms
folded, at London and Vienna, that his forces are majestically sur-
rounding the gates of the Turkish capital, you are at his feet trem-
bling, like the Turks, from apprehension, and calling on hint to
have compassion on the balance of power in Europe, as they call
on him to suspend hostilities.
A pleasant hope! and if the Duke of Wellington has no other
illusion to offer to England, I can readily believe, as has already
been said, that he begins to find business troublesome. It was not
for this that he was called to the head of his Sovereign's Council.,
and this was not the first use he promised to himself to make of the
pacification of Ireland. But even the results of this great measure
ate becomes matter of contest. In Ireland the people talk of no-
thing but a mere important independence. It is recollected that
Dublin once had its Parliament, and it is known that at present
the population of Ireland is seven millions.
You may imagine the Duke of Wellington pressed in Parlia-
ment, by the consistent adversaries of Catholic Emancipation, as to
the consequences of a measure which they energetically opposed,
pressed also on the measures of their exterior policy by those who
are the true defenders of the English preponderance in the business
of Europe ; we may imagine we see M Iruoud, with Diebitsch in
front of him, and Paskewitsch in his rear, Europe and Asia fall at
the same time.

The .1 urka demand of the Sultan what he has done with the
Standard of the Prophet? England will also demand of the Duke
of Wellington to render an account of the honour of the English
Hag. Will this be the end of his career ? PROVIDENCt sports some.
times very strangely with human combinations.
For us, at least, we have a Ministry from whom we exact less.
Occupied as we are in savii,g our institutions from the rucks on
which they have been driven by imprudent habits, we must brit
have France free at home before requiring for her glory abroad.—
Moreover the national honour is, seriously, in the bands of Al. de
Bounnorit! How can it be imagined that he c.n be called upon
to give an account of it?
Subvert the Ottoman Empire, then—strew two parts of the
world with its ruins ; make Greece free and powerful, or slavish
and tributary ; rejoice at Petershurgh—weep at Vienna ; threaten
at London ; pull down and build up Europe as you please. Three
men have promised you the nullity of France, and have relied,
for that purpose, e:n your hatred and fear of them.

When the great question now ag France, as to her repose
and liberty, is resolved, she will resume her rank among n3tions.

The most in lifferent cannot sec without sorrow the abyss, on the
borders of which the Ministers have dragged France in less th .n six
weeks. There are sortie fundamental questions that ought never
to be agitated under a regular Governmenr,hut these terrible ques-
tions are all _low agitated at once. We are again thrown on the
burning ashes which it was supposed were for ever extinguished,
and which power is imprudently re-kindling at the risk of a vast con-
flagration. France, which was tranquilly reposing under the pro-
tection of the Charter, is eagerly putting its frontiers in a posture
of defence against an invading Ministry. She opens her arsenals, and
draws forth those formidable arms she would have willingly allowed
to rust. Two months ago it was asked, shall we have vest Session a
municipal and departmental law? Will the Chamber at length
occupy itself with our roads and canals? What measures will it
take to relieve the wine growers? Peaceful questions, infallible
signs of the return of peace and good order. Now the question
every where asked is, what are the Ministry plotting against the
Charter? Which of the articles will they preserve, which will
they suppress? Will they end:arour to do without the Chambers,
or, which is the same thing, will they. by sonic coup (Caw, after
their composition? Questions full of trouble and of peril ; dud
the Ministers who cause them, and justify them, by the hostile de-
clamation of their journals, terrified by the festivities at Lyons,
seek an excuse for their violent measures in that which constitutes
their criminality—the actual stare ofthe country.

It appears certain that the Ministry, alarmed at the unanimous
expression of national opinion. has recoiled from the desperate
measures which it intended. These bullies have begun to tremble.
They now, like the fox in the fable, exclain► that " the grapes are
sour. '

knowledges, with alarm, that the Elective Chamber his the right
of refusing to adopt the Budget : we shall soon prove that wi:h a

public nitrifies, it is not only a right but a duty.

The ground is well calculated for an obstinate resistance, int: r-
seeted by deep ditches and numerous gardens. „, The pdlikjin of the
Turkish batteries was well chosen, some orthins wee not comi
pleted, and no haste had been made to Jo adibilecausu nobody in
Adrianople thought he would have to fight the nest morning. The
Illusion which so many centuries of security had excited was so
great, that many, even of the Commanders, doubted the possibility
of seeing the Russian army at the gates of their ancient capital.
The rapidity of our marches of 30 to 35 wcrsta daily, and our
sudden appearance before the place bad almost the effect of et:-
chantment on the Pada" the Turkish troops, sod the inhabitants.
Three great roads were still open for their retreat, but the idea of
eight did not even occur to them.

The Commander-in-Chief had-not yet returned from reconoiter-
ing when the deputies of the Seraskier, Kotil Pacha and Ibrahim
Pacha (both of 5 tail.), of the Governor of Adrianople, %Vadzhik
Mabumed Pacha, and of Schenk Ali Pacha (of two tails), with
the deputies of the chief inhabitants of the city, had arrived at
the Russian advanced posts to propose a capitulation. The Com-
mander-in-Chief signified to them through the Counsellor of State.
M. Fonton, that they must deliver up their arms, artillery, stand-
ard., provisions, and ammunition—in a word, every thing belong-
ing to the Ottoman Government; that on these conditions lie
would allow the Pachas and their troops to return to their home,,
provided they did riot take the road to Constantinople. The irre-
gular troops and the inhabitants were also requited to lay down
their arms, to remain in Adrianople, and continue to follow their
trade and all lawful and pacific business, under the protection of
the lives and the existing Courts of Justice. M. Fonton was fur-
ther instructed to declare to the Deputies, that the General in
Chief gave them fourteen hours to accept or refuse these terms ,
that the army would move at day-break ; that each column would
proceed to the point of attack assigned to it; and that on the .'Otis
August, at nine o'clock in the morning, the city would be stormed,
if the terms were lint accepted by the Generals and the Local
Authorities of Adrianople.
The next morning (20th) the army formed in two columns, anti
left its camp at five o'clock. Tke right column, composed of the
corps of Generals Roth and Pahicn, marched directly against the
centre of the place. The Commander-in-Chief led it in person, and
placed it so that it cou:d attack at several points at once.
The left column, consisting of the 2d division of Hussars, and
the td of Hulans, with a numerous division of Horse Artillery,
marched through Ornaut Kini towards the roads leading to Kirk
Kilissa and Constantinople, in order to cut off the enemy from all
modes of retreat to the Bosphorus. This column was commande.l
by General Toll, Chia of the Staff.
'llse 7th Corps, under Gen. Rudiger, formed the reserve, and
advanced on the road from Iluiuk Derbent to Adrianople to the
wood, which surrounds the Serai, the ancient residence of
Sultans.

When the Turkish Plenipotentiaries saw front their camp the.
general movement of the army. they did not wait for the espira
tom of the time allowed them the preceding evening to signity
their submission, they ar: ved two bouts earlier, but designed to
negociate to obtain less disadvantageous terms. The answer vea,;
short; the General-in-Chief ordered tie columns to advanc..
towards the outworks and walls of the city. When the Turkish
and Christian inhabitants saw the movement of the columns, they
did not wait for the news of the conclusion of the capitulation,
but came partly disarmed and partly armed, nut of the city, and
met our troops with demonstrations of joy, while the Turkish
troops threw away their arms, and abandoned their camp to us.
even before the formalities for delivering it up could be cowls tea.
All was wholly in confusion. Several Pacing came to meet the
Commander-in-Chief, and welcomed hint, and others galloped
away. Our battalions nccupied the points, which, a moment be-
fore. they were to have taken by storm.
The cavalry first occupied the toad to Constantinople ; the t.-
cond corps followed, amp posted itself ik-fore the Constasitisor.le
gate ; the sixth occupied the road to ; them:v(llth the
valley of the Tandseha, and the five barracks lately built by the
Sultan Mahmoad.
The Commander-in-Chief fixed his head-quartets in the Palace
of the Sultan. which had been prepared fur the reception of Matt-
mud. Part of our troops occupied the barrack., and the re-
mainder the tents of the Turkish camp, which were all ready to
receive them.

Our accounts from the theatre of war are to the 23d, at which
time General Roth had commenced his march from Rodosto, on
the Sea of NiarrOOTa. The General-in-OW intended to proceed
by Araba Bourgas direct to Constantinople, but at the same time
remain in communication with General Roth. The fleet prose-
cutes its advantages, and has taken Ainada, where there is a pretty
good road along the coast to the capital.
It is said that General Ricord has orders to support the army.
:aid it is probable that when he learns the arrival of General Roth
at Rodosto lie will ettdeavonr to pass the Dardanelles, which will
be the more easy, as the Turkish fleet remains inactive in the port
of Bujukdere as if it were a time of profound peace.
We know that negotiations for peace are to be soon opened, and
we hope they will be successful,for the Porte has no means of defence
inEurope,and in Asia Gen.Paskewitsch takes one province after ano-
ther. The Sultan seems inclined to do his utmost to end the contest
with some degree of honour; he tries all means on the one hand to
excite the people against the Russians, and on the other to induce
Count Diebitsch to conclude an armistice ; but the people remain
in.lifferent, and Count Diebitsch pursues his advantages. It iY
said he has answered the Grand Vizier, who has several times
written to him, expressing a with for an armistice, and begging
that the negotiations may be carried on at Constantinople. " that
the Porte knows the sentiments of the Emperor, and on what
hails it was to trust, and that it has but to fulfil the conditions on
which peace may he obtained, if it seriously wishes to put an end
.o hostilities." The sanitar state of this place is improving."
