E0RMyGN,

BY the arrival of the ship Robert Edwards capt
Sherburne, from London, which left Plymouth on the
29th Aug. having been detained bv contrary winds,
papers are received containing London dates one
day later. Verbal intelligence Is also obtained from
the passengers 1t is probable that the news recciv-
ed at Philadelphia by Harvre letter of August Goth
IS we'll founded, and that CONSTANiINOPLE
HAS BEEN TAKEN. Ono of the passengers of
the Robert Edwards, saw ia the Reading Room, a.
bulletin issued from the London Royal Exchange on
nouncing this event. and it was generally believed at
Plymouth. London paper of the evening of the
25th states, that Telegraphic Despatch that eff
feet had been received at Paris. No mail from that
city had oeea received tina. day, equence of
the lnclen1ency of the weather.
Three ships of the line at Portsmouth had been Or
dered to sea, but their destination was not known
Fhe London papers state, that orders have been
gwen to the captains of packets between Falmouth
ana Lisbon to permit the search of their vessels bv
the Portuguese authorities. BY this permission the
Portuguese may take from British vessels any Portu
guese subjects charged with offences against the
state.
A new consul had been appointed for Lisbon.
fhe London Traveller Of 25th August, has the
following, remarks
1t is more than probable that the fate of Constan-
t1nopie is by this time determined and notwithstan-
ding all that have heard from time to time about
the enormous power of Russia, and the danger of
disturbing the equilibrium of Europe, it is quite evil
DENT from the comparative indifference with which
the population of this country await the event that

the present Administration Ii they had been weak
or waverlng-f there any reason to suspect
them OF want or prudence foresight, what outcrie
should we now hear amongst the disconnected on the
approach ofthe Russian army to the gates of Con-

But II the people have confidence in the Ministers
SO have the Ministers shown a confidence in the re.
sources OF the country, which can at any time call
upon Hussla to fulfil her engagements, an attitude

knows with what jealousy the Cabinets not of England

power must regard her progress at the present mo

herself against such coalition could soon he formed
against her.
Great praise is therefore due to the steodines ns
Ihe men, who, suspected of being too favourable to
military adventures withstood every tempt alton to-
war and kept their country aoof from the strurole
