LATEST FROM EUROPE.

| for London papers TO Aug. S, received by the
John Wells, which arrived at New-York, after
the publication of the afternoon papers on Sa-
turday Paris papers to the 4th OF August had
been received at London.
They contain intelligence of the arrival Of
the Russian Plenipotentiaries on the third ult.
at RuGschuck, the place where the conferences
with the Turkish Commissioners are to be held.
The Congress was TO be opened on the 9Th;
and from the present temper of the two Pow
ers, the most favorable results may be conf
IDENTITY anticipated. In the mean time, Russia
has furnished such unequivocal proofs of her
pacific disposition, that 10 suppose she will raise
wanton objections, would be TO start unwarrant-
able doubts of her sincerity On the part OF
the Porte, every facility to prompt and COM
! pete adjustment of the remaining differences
may be reasonably expected, as it must be. her
earnest wish TO have her attention undlverted
from every other object, in order to devote 1t
wholly to the reforms she has just undertaken.
The ardor with which those reforms are urged,
we have more than once alluded to; and it APP
pears, by letters from ConstaninoDle, OF the
Sd, which are quoted in these papers, that it
was on the increase at that date instead of SUP
siding The Sultan continued 10 superintend
in person the drilling of the new levies; and as
his subjects had caught portion of his enthu-
siasm, the lively interest they exhibited served
to fan his own.
1t is said that the plague has broken out at
Ru6schuck. A rigorous quarantine has been
ordered
The Court Of Peers at Paris declared yester
day, that there was no ground for proceeding
against the Military Intendent Sicard, and the
same declaration was made as to NJ. Ouyrard.
A discussion then arose on the question, as TO
whether vi Ouvrard should be sent before the
Correctional Police for an unaccepted attempt
at bribery, or be set at liberty. The discussion
was postponed until tomorrow, when the Court
will hear the Proculeur du Rio on the subject.
They write from ConsanIinople under tine
date of July 8, as follows: "1he Sultan is al
ways on horseback, and continually displays
the same hrmness The desire to receive mi
liary instruction is as great as ever, and French
men are every where sought for to instruct the
new troops. Constantinope is kind of camp:
commerce however, is at complete stand
The letters from Russia now concur in say
ing that, in the latter part of his reign the en-.
peror Alexander had sunk into Incidence, and
that in consequence the grossest abuses had be-
gun to prevail in all the departments Of the
State This is striking proof of the insecu-
rity of Despotic Government The Empe-
ror Alexander was at one time praised deserv-
edly for his activity as we'll as good intentions,
and was certainly in both respects, above the
average of monarchs. Yet some change in his
habits or constitution put an end to all the be-
ne6t which had been derived from him, and no.
thing but the accident of his early death, and
| of an active successor, could have saved the
Empire from suffering long under the misgov-
eminent of which he had allowed the-seeds to
be sown.
Trieste, July 2o-"It is now more than three
weeks since we received any direct news from
the Peloponnesus The Greeks who are here
expect with great impatience the packet from
Corfu, hoping by it to receive some informa.
ton respecting the arrival Of Lord Cochrane,
which was announced as near at hand.''
On the l4th Of July, the great tower of the
Hotel de Vile, at Lemberg, in Galcia, which
was built in l49l, fell, and buried several per-
sons in its ruins.
We have seen private letter from Constan-
tinople, which contains many details of the E.
vents which have taken place in the capital. 1t
fully confirms the news which we gave. Aga
Pacha, who was the hero Of the three days, has
been made Khan, or Prince, and Generalissimo
of the troops Of Constantinople and its environs
His present title is Seraskier Pacha. Eight or
ten years ago he was only simple Jannissary.
We learn from Besancon that Councillor
of Prefecture, after sharp dispute with his ia
mily, has killed his son, and put an end to his
own existence.
SpAlN.-In The Kadrid Gazette of July the
SOth, under the head Of Granada, and dated on
the 5th Of July, is the following paragraph
"For this sometime past we had violent sub
terraneous commissions in this city. On the 4th
instant, at one O'Clock, A. M. we were alarmed
by the shock of an earthquake, which re-
peated 10 hours afterwards. On the 26th and
2Sth ult there were two considerably violent
shocks; and it may be said that since the 2lst
of last April, when they were first felt they have
not ceased,.but at intervals of more or fewer
days.
The following is an extract of private letter
from Madrid dated July 2o:-"I find this coun-
try still in the same state as when you were
here; quiet enough in the interior, bat with
much distress. In the provinces they begin to
feel the scarcity of money, and if the Govern
ment be not quite in astate of lethargy-if it do
not effect some operations to re. establish its
credit know not how it can meet those ex- |
nences which are inevitable That yhicb &c |
