twas reported, in some of the Paris pa
pers of the 9th and 2Slh of July, that the
Porte had rejected the protocol OF the 22d
of March, the object (which is asserted to
he, to push the demands of England and
France, without any reference to those of
Russia. A London paper OF the 3lst., how
ever, makes no alluslon to. the subject; and
we are of course no way bound to receive a
rumor so entirely manifested.
A French paper speaks of the assembling
of an unusually large number of British
ships of war in the Mediterranean and
Archipelago, which has alarmed some writ
ers concerning the designs of England.
We find nothing, however, to intimate any
change in her intentions.
The Courier of the Both, after having, on
several previous days, denied that there
was any foundation for the rumors of diff
culties, embarrassments, or probable chan
ges, in the British Cabinet, thus categori-
cally disposes of the matter:
We again say that every thing stated
respecting offices to individuals, dismissals
from Office, arrangements, and the frequent
and importunate applications made by the
Duke of Wellington to many, Tor indeed to
any members of any Party to join his Adj
ministration-are false.
London, JIiy 30. Success has declared
for the Russians in Asia, where they claim
a victory of some Importance. 1t appears,
however, that Count Pastewitsch had not
yet moved forward, and that the action, on
The contrary, was the result of the advance
OF the Turks against him; and as the Seras
kler was at the head of $4,000 men, at no
great distance, the issue of the campaign
cannot be considered as influenced in the
least by first advantage.
A Flanders Mail arrived this morning.
Its contents, however, are not of much i'm
portance. General Geismar is said to be
making active preparations for the attack of
Ncopolis, and the Russian armies are gener-
ally moving TO follow up the late successes.
st. Petersburgh, July 10. "The day be-
fore yesterday, news arrived from Tihis Ola
new victory gained on the 18th ult. by the
united detachments oc Major Generals Mu-
rawicco and Burzow over large bodies of
Turks, who had assembled in the defle of
Poztov. The enemy lost their rich camp,
(which was taken by stormy large quanti-
ty ammunition and provisions, four hun
dred prisoners, five standards, and ell their
artillery. The Turks, whose force amount
ed to fifteen thousand men, lost twelve hun
dred in killed and wounded. Our loss is
small. The details of this action are not
known. Count Pasfewitsch was still at
Kars, but was preparing to attack the Sc
raskier himself, who, with an army of
10000 men, is about sixty weists (40 miles
fron that fortress.
Vienna, judy Is. A report has been
spread on Change to-day, that the Prussian
General Baron Mufing is sent to Constan-
tinople on an extraordinary Mission. This
being considered as an indication of the in
terventlon of Prussia to bring about peace,
as proof of the unanimity of the Powers,
and of the wish of Russia to put an end to
the war, the Funds have risen. We have
no news from the theatre of war since the
fall of Slistria
Paris, july &c. The object of the con-
venton of the 9th of July was to preun,S;t a
rupture hetwenn Rnesio ord turkey that
of the protocol of the 22d of March is to Ell
feet an arrangement between England,
France, and the Porte. The protocol will
not obtain its object any better than the
convention of the 9th July did. Meantime
the English Cabinet places no great depen-
dence on the negotiations to re-establish
the peace of the East. 1t appears to be
preparing for other events; its naval force
assumes an imposing attitude on the Med-
terranean Already six ships of the line
are in the roads of Smyrna, there are two
others at Malta, two at Corfu, and it is af-
frmed that by the beginning Of April there
would be eighteen assembled in those seas.
1t may be supposed that this considerable
armament is not collected to make the Sui
tan listen to reason. Undoubtedly the Cab
met of London will do every thing not to
break the peace; but if Constdntnople
were theatened, it is to be presumed that
its fleet would not remain mere spectator
of the capture Of that city.
PORTUGAL. The accounts from this oD-
pressed country are Of the same painful ma
ture as before-arrests and imprisonments
continue to take place. A degree of dis
sention however has occurred among the
troops at St MchaePs, which may perhaps
tend to something good. There have been
timely arrivals at Terceira, which will
strengthen the Constituencies.
In the Island of St. Michael, kind of
anarchy prevails, each company and each
detachment obeys only its immediate com
mander. An English cutter had arrived at
TeIceira with twenty-eight officers, and a
considerable sum Of money, which fact was
known at ST. Michaels. Strong apprehen-
sions were entertained at st. Mchaels as
to the disposition of the Migueiite squadron;
and so great were the fears on this subject
that all the men Of any consequence attach
ed to Don Miguel were making prepare
tions for their return to Lisbon.
II was reported ut Lisbun THAT the snip or
the line Juan vi, had been much damaged
by the fire of the batteries Of Terceira,
which carriad away her rudder, and she
was obliged to cut her cables and escape
London, July 81. We have this moment
received Lisbon mails of the 18th and 10Th
inst. but their contents are scarcely worthy
of notice, except it he to show that the sys-
