TWO DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND

| The packet ship Corinthian, at \. York.
! from London, has furnished the editors of the
| Commercial Advertiser papers of that capital
to the Both ultlmo. inclusive. OF course there
is nothing later from the Continent. than the
advces by the Sully, Nor had the latest ru-
NOR. from the seat of war, chat which we
published Yesterday from Vienna, Sept. 49,
vet reached London. The affairs of the East.
and the question of peace or no peace, were
the leading topics OF discussionwith the Lon
| don papers.
! We find nothing in the London papers from
| Adrianoplc, so late by one day, as our adyi-
ces by the Suly, which were to the 9th Sept.
A London paper Of Sept. 29th, announces let
ters from Adrianople, by the Hamburger steam
boat, dated on the 18th September, in which
it is stated, ''that the Turkish commissioners
had gone back to the capital, after having
come to an agreement with the Russian Gen
eral in all the points of the preliminary treaty,
except one--namely that which related to the
indemnity; and in this Count Debtsch affir-
med that his powers did not permit him to
make any modification. The Turkish COM
missioners declared that it was impossible to
admit the claims of the Russians to the extent
described, and therefore begged to return to
Constantinope for fresh Instructions. They
were accompanied by a corps of Russian ca
valry as an escort They were allowed by
Count Diebitsch till the 10Th, to acccdc to the
indemnity clause of the preliminary treaty;
but not arriving by that time, he had declared
his intention to prosecute the war with the
utmost vigor.'
Dispatches from Sir Robert Gordon, dated
Constantinople, Sept. 9Th, had been received
in London. 'sThey do not, of course" says
the Globe and Traveller, Communicate any
TO
for peace at Adrianople; but toe silence which
is observedin them as to the reported advance
of the Russian Force upon Constantinople,
prevents as from giving any contradiction TO
a statement which reached Us from Paris, of
three iourths OF the troops under Gen. Die
bitsch having advanced towards the capital
According to this account, these troops were
on the Sth inst. within sixty miles of the capt
tai; consequently, our Ambassador at the date
of his dispatches, could not have been aware
OF this movement, which must nave risen from
instructions given by the General at Adriano-
pie. On the 9TH however, the capital re
manned perfectly tranquil, and there was no.
thing in the advance itselfto indicate any rlIp-
ture of the reported armistice, or the disincli-
nation Of the Russians to conclude peace"
The Times of the 30th, remarking on the ru-
mored armistice, says, that they did not in
tend 10 throw doubt on the tact isth, hut to
show that all beyond the bare statement of
the suspension of lostihties was the result of
mere conjecture. Every thing that has since !
occurred confirms the truth of the remark !
which we theR ION the 1Sthl made. 1t now APP /
pears that there was, properly speaking, no |
formal conclusion of an armestice for a special |
period OF time, but that the Russian General !
TO a temporary suspension of hos
iIIties during the progress of the ne0otia.iOns
which the heplessness Of The Sultan compelled /
lim to solicit. Should these negotiations eth
r be broken off, or pFotracted beyond the pa
fence of the Russian Commander, the latter \
nay resume operations without the necessity !
