charged by his Majesty with missions
from the cabinet, quilted this day Tor y,
dessa. from which pace one of them VIII
Immediately proceed to ConstantInoPle..-
IThe English Embassy has despa'cheo
three conriers with AZ hours. The sub
;ect or the mission is the entirely new turn
which the affairs ofTurkey have taken'
and the danger apprehended from the pas
sage Of the Dardanelles by British squa-
dron. all of which was wholly unsusPec-
led nv His Majesty. Sultan Mahmoud
i called on to give categorical explana-
ton.
Extraordinary measures are IN pfePa,,
ration as to the armies of the North ana
of Bessarabia, also as TO the corps OF EN-
barkation, and the fleet OF the Black sea-
If England should have the audacisy 10
send her feet into the Dardanelles, the
Egyp.ain army would invade AnatoIIa'
where the Turkish troops are unable 10
oppose efIeciual resistance. AT all events
this conflict must sooner or later ensue
and although Russia will not accelerate
matters, it will not recoll from war rather
than lose its position.
The news from Caucasus shows that
affairs are still more complicated, not pc
cause the Russian troops have been deiea-
ted in several engagements, but because
il is proved that succor is regularly or
paniscd at Constantinople, at Sinope, and
AT Trebizond, by English Agents; where
nv the resistance of the CaucasIans may
be Unfortunately prolonged, and even
Georgia may be compromised by the con-
tapion OF rebellion. The Tcherkesses have
among them multitude of officers, VINO
teach them to turn their local advantages
10 account; and the native princes, VINO
might have been gradually won over 10
the cause Of Russia, can no longer treat
with the cabinet without exposing them
selves 10 certain death.
The blockade, which does more injury
TO the commerce OF Russian subjects than
to that orthe insurgent Caucaslans, and
which is very expensive, cannot be con-
tinued during the bad season, whereas
the coastng vessels can at all times con-
vey to the rebels the supplies OF which /
have Just spoken. The army ofthe kou-
ban and Of the Cossacks have been re-
modelled thrice, without giving conslsten-
CIV 10 the Russian forces in that quarter,
and the Generals will again be changed
to as little purpose as heretofore. This
war is a canker-worm to the empire.
The envoy to the United States, who
was appointed previously TO the last voy..
age of the Emperor, Is about 20 proceed
ON his mission. The Cabinet is desrous
Of forming a new Treaty with the Amer.
cans, and of converting them into useful
llies, leaving them masters OF the new
w orld, while Russia is TO grasp the Old.
The policy orthe Cabinet is TO embarrass
in that quarter, rs will be EVIL
lent from the measures ordered since the
ikase concerning the Northern seas.
A letter from St. Petersburg ofOct. 10Th
again announces that Prince Paskewltch
viii Immediately proceed TO southern Rus
in. and that Count de Wilt will have an
important command under the Prince.
Our Constantinople letter Of the 10Th,
confirms the important news that the Shah
IF Persia had consented to make peace
with Ilerst, and retire his force. Guar
antees Of this had been given, solemn e.
nouph to induce Mr.. M'Neil to return to
Herat. This would diminish still more
the fears Of a collision TO the east.-WOr.

SPAIN.
Dispatches from General Van Halen,
of the Queens troops, state
that on the 18th OF October, he compel.
led Cabrera to raise the siege of Caspe,
and retire to Maelfa.
General Palalox had at last prevailed
on the Government Of Spain to establish
a hospital for invalid soldiers, and to APP
propriate to that object the two converts
a, Alocha and San Geronimo.
GERMANY
The King Of Wurtemburg has relln.
pushed the intention ofgranting gener-
al amnesty for political often ces, but the
penalties incurred fol practices styled
by great number of persons
confined in iortresses, have been commu'
ted OF mitgaied by bis orders.
At Cologne, on the eth of October,
severe Disturbances took place. Ii was
said that the curate of the parish Of St.
Ursula had been arrested on account Of II
sermon which he had preached, and that
the dean had given orders for his arrest.
A great crowd gathered about the
deans residence, broke the windows with
paving stones, and attempted to force the
doors, but not being able, entered the
windows and destroyed the iurniture.-
They were dispersed length by troops.
