 We have received an important letter, da- ted the 18th. from our Vienna cOrrespOn. dent. Austria, after the change of the Eng fish ministry, has taken a step at COnstanti- nOple from which the happiest results for the general peace is expected. Allthe news from COnstantinOple are anterior to this new in- terventiOn.
 Accounts are received from St. Petersburg to the beginning Ofthe present month, and are decidedly warlike, as far as respects Turkey. 1t is asserted that the Russian army will cross the Pruth as soon as the season will permit. Taking this for granted, the lapse of few weeks will disclose very important events,and it will he seen whether the Emperor will not find some pretext for acting independent ly of G.

Mr.. CoopER.-Thore are some, espe cially
in England, who delight in condemning Amer
lean productions Of literature as nero imita-
tions, and allowing all credit for originality to
writer's who have fourished on the other side
Of the Atlantic, both in prose and verse. We
have often heard our countryman, Mr.. Cooper
termed the "imitator OF Walter Scott" though
we defy the kcenest critic to point out any
plausible reason for applying to him the epi-
thet. Weeonceive it to bc totally unjust and
unmerted.
The following is from French paper recent
Iy received at the office cthe National Intelli-
gencer:
ITO America alone belongs the honor of
ha wing given rival to Sir Walter Scott. Not
less fruitful, not less original, than the Scot
tish Romancer, Mr. ConPER has found mex.
haustible recources in the admirable scenery
Of the United States, and in the contrast be-
tween the manners Of the American Savages
with those Of the European Colonies, to com
pose descriptions as picturesque as those Of
old Caledonia, and scenes not less dramatic
than the events borrowed by Sir Walter from
the middle age, and the traditions Of the noun
tains. A beautiful edition has lately been
published in Paris, comprising all his works,
ir 10 volumes. ornamented with engravings by
the first artists

prose ecuted with energy and vigour the vensli-
ty of some officers; he extirpated smuggling,
which was reduced 10 system, and carried
on as regular trade. He gave an impulse
to the upright dealer. who would not stoop to
the dishonourable practices Of those Of an op-

The people find that the extraordinary expen-
diture attending the arrival Of fresh regiments
and ships Of war is covered, and yet tae ex-
port duty on coffee has been abolished, and
no public burdens are imposed, and finally,
that great surplus fund remains in the treas
ury. The revenue Of this city, during the last
six months, was three millions Of dolIa-s, which
is 10000 greater than the corresponding peri
cd Of 1927, notwithstanding the suppression
ofthe export duty on coffee, and the consider
able importations Of -four from Spain, on which
there is a great reduction in the duties.
In short. this is a truly prosperous country:
poverty is unknown to all classes, We export
to the United States 10 the amount of seven
millions annually, which is greater than they
receive from oil Spanish America united.
