and in the name Of the people thereof do declare as
follows:
The states in North America which cour,deratcd
10 establish their independence Of the government Of
Great Britain, Of which Virginia was one became OH
that acquisition, free and independent states aud
such, authorised to constitute governments each for
iself, in such form as it thot best.
They entered into Compact (which is called Tho
constitution of the u States OF Amefica) by which
they agreed to unite in single government as TO
their relations with each other and with foreign ia
tons and to certain other articles particularly
specified. They retained at the time, each to
itself the other rights of independent government,
ComprchondMg mainly their domestic interests.
For the administration Of their federal branch thew
agreed to- appoint, III conjunction, distinct set OF
fGncti5naries Legislative, executive and judiciary in
the manner settled in that compact: while TO each
seyeray and of course, remained It's original right OF

| 81, says Sc Yesterday morning, our army
took possession of this second city of the
Empire, the General-in-C hiefriding in front.
Universal astonishment seized the Turks at
the sight OF our troops, who passed through
them with an order which they had never
seen before. We, too, were struck at the
strange sight of the thousands of people in
oriental costume, who crowded the streets.
The situation of Adrianople is extremely
delightful. The banks Of the Martha, which
here receives the Tundsche and the Arda,
are covered with rose bushes. The city is
surrounded with walls, and has eleven gates.
1t has square citadel, with four round and
II other towers. In the citadel is an arse
nal, and the different quarters of the city
are united together by ID bridges over the
( Tundsche and Arda. We entered Adrian
have remained in the city the remainder
have been encamped in the environs, or
sent forward ten leagues on the road to
! Constantinople. The total amount of the
army is $4,000 men.
The Berlin State Gazette, of the 18th of
September, contains the following details
upon the capture of Adrianople =
"The garrison of Adrianople amounted
to 10000 men of regular troops, who, at
the approach of the Russians, laid down
their arms, although all the roads were open
for them to effect their retreat. The Turks
abandoned to the conquerers, their camp,
~rHns ammunition, 81 pieces of cannon, %
stand OF colors, ana y norse-JaHs, anu re-
ceived permission to return home to devote
themselves TO agricultural labors. The nu-
merous population of the city, Christians and
Mahometans, went out to meet the army
with the utmost confidence"
Under the date Of Frankfort, Sept. Z, it
is said" That according to letters from
st. Petersburgh, it does not seem that the
Emperor Nicholas is much inclined easily
to resign the advantages which he may de-
rive from the success of his arms. We
learn from that capital that Gen Diebitsch
has received positive orders to prosecute
his operations as far as Constantinople,
without suffering himself to be stopped by
any consideration"
AUSTRIA. The Austrian Observer of
September 5th, announces the conclusion
of the treaty of Commerce with the United
States, which grants to Austrian vessels in
the port of the Union, the same rights with
national vessels.
