sCOnsfGntinOpie, Aug. 2O.--(Private cor
rcspondence.) AS the Clerks are no lon
ger able to transcribe the thousand and one
lirmans which succeed one and another,
people talk of MOniteur, or official Jour-

which has slunlbered for So many years.
Afthis should take place, our holy ally and
neighbor will perhaps be displeased at it.

ConstGntiaople, Aug. 2O.-The news
here is certain that war has broken out
between Russia and Persia and according
to the present report, Russia seems to have
sought this opportunity of employing her
military. The Court of Persia did every

sensation here, in consequence Of the con-
nection between the Grand Seignior and
the Court of p ersia and several persons

tween this country and Russia. This no.

sequence of the hustle in the political de-
partments, and certain interviews between
the Russian envoy and the Grand Vizier,
which are said to have terminated angrily.
AT present, however, all is conjecture, ex-
cepting the fact of hostilities having COM
menced between Russia and Persia

depict the CONSERVATION Of the Inhabitants,
when feeling the first shock. They all lett
their homes, fled to the neighbouring fields,
and abandoned their property and friends."-
Locks, bolts, and bars, literally flew asun-
der-the window frames and glasses were
scattered to the winds--thc ceilings of the
houses in and near the quay were as if strain
ed from their joints-the walls yawned from
their perpendiculars, and the very foundations
were shaken to their centres. -" The wreck
of this once animated town, presents one of
the most deplorable pictures that you can
imagine
