packct ship Birmingham, Captain Harris, which ar
rived here yesterday. furnishes rs with our regular
hics ut London and Liverpool papers, the FORMER 10
.,hS 9Th and the latter 60 tho 10Th uitinio. The news
which, they contain from tho seat of war Is cxtrenie-
" contradictory IL Is now certain that the
,rte,Iiyencc of the fall OF Constantinoplc was prcrna-
trre. as was also the account of tie battle at Kirk
hniesa! According 10 some OF the statements the
sSsltan Continues to act with undated confidence aud
viyor; while others represent Kun as mnc!r, upimida-
ted ami deeply anxious FOR psace. There san bs no
joubt that a very factioua and ~disprderly spirit has
manifested il self IN hip capital, where Janissaris;n
has appeared, aad is doing all in lis power TO increase
the danger of the Impending storm.
BY the accounts rom the Prussian State Gazette
of the 9Th August, which we copy, it appears that
Gen. Diebitssn was still lalting at Aidos, and that
his advanced posts, instead of having reached Kirk
Kilissa, pscre only at Faki, which is about half way
u tliat plSce. This hesitation of the Russian Gene
raj iyattributed 10 the movements of the Grand vi
g'of III his rear, who ~ doing all he'can TO redeem the
yfedit he lost in being out -inanGuvred by Count Die
Oiisch aud suffering him 10 pass the Balkan. BY tho
account which we copy under date OF Frontiers OF
Wallachia, August Id, 1t would seem that lie has
availcd himself To the utmost Of his position in the
rear of the enemy, TO annoy them and prevent their
advance. The accounts by this arrival, however, ere
so contradictory that they adj but little to our positive
knowledge of the state ~ofnGairs, more than that Con-
etantinople hos not yet fallen, and that the advance o!
the Russian army was much less rapid than was an
~iicipated.
Ae to the crops in Great Britoin-.ho next impor-
,a4t topic for US, the fair weather of the week or ten
days preceding the departure of the Birmingham
had relieved most of the anxiety IN regard to the lar-
vest, and the crup would, it was calculated, turn GU,
an average one. Prices Of wheat and American flour
both in bond und free had declined.
Three line of battle ships, the britannia, C!ouceste,
aud .MetotHc were about to sail from Portsmouth fol
the Meditcrranean-thts however, is not such u rein
forccmennt asdenoies any apprehension Of hostilliics.
We understand that the Birmingham had ten days
of fine weather after leaving Liverpool.
Hostilities have been renewed in Java.

The A~llSemcinc ZeituDg, of the 29th ut, has
brought us Intelligence from Cons'antinoplc. of The
9th ofAugust, (the date ofour last dispatches which
confirms all that we announced respecting he con-
sternation Of the people and the change OF mind in
yhe Sultan. II appears that besides the arrival Of Gen.
ftiebitsch's advanced guard at Kirk Kilissa, a Russian
corps had landed at lniadn, go miles from The capital,
and that the terror created IN all phases vas so great,
that the Sultau's life would have been in danger if lie
had not declared himself resdy ''to do every thing
which could contribute to the restoration of peace,
aud Che satisfaction OF the people, As a prelimina-
ny stop he had accepted the Treaty of July 1927, and
last, by which the limits OF Greece are extended from
the hiorea TO The Continent, and terminate ut the
Gulf Of Volo on the one side, and the Gulf Of Arta
on the other, including the whole Of what ancient, !
formed Greece Proper
With respect TO Russia, he is said 10 have agreed
to give her flag the free passage Of the BOspliorus,
aud to have proposed TO negotiate on the basis Of
the Convention of Akernann, provided the Begocia
tiUns should be carried on at Constantiuople, where
Ae probably conceives he would have more immediate.
~ the assistance OF tho Allied Ambassadors, and
tiinir influence would be more powerfully fcl, in sup
port Of his interests. Since this determination had
been made known, the capital had become more tran
Gull, but the adberents Of The Janissnries grew more
daring every day, and not only frustrated III att. HIpts
ut raising forces, bot added to The dangers of ioTeinn
invasion, tie constant. alarm Of internal insui r~ections.
Nothing was known Of the Turkish army, and the
troops sent towards Adrianople, to form a junction
with 1t there, had termed back to the camp ut EIub,
IN font OF Cnnstantinople, where oniy $4,000 mon
we're assembled. The same apathy which made the
people of the European provinces submit 20 the Rus
slams wherever they appeared, was universally dis
played in Asia, where recruits could not be brought

Tine situation of the Porte il. therefore, jnstly repre-
sented as one from which peace alone could ~extricate
her, and from the concessions which the Srltan SEEM
cd disposed TO make, il was already aupurcd that
peace might be considered as concluded.

Dispatches were received this morning at the Fo-
reign Office, from the Hon. Robert Gordon. dated
Constantiuople Aug. II, four daysiater than the for

At the time ~hen the courier Quilted Constantine

Pers, i%tappcars th0t nothing had been yet definitely
settled respecting The Greek question: but the nego.
cia ions were still going Oh. Great exertions were
pfking 10 raiso new levies Of troops, but they had
rot been attended with much success, and it was no,
expected that Adrianoplc could resist the attack of.
