PETERSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 4.  Recent private letters from Constantinople assure us that public tranquillity is restored in that capital. They neither speak of plague nor war, but they expect that peace will be restored through the means employed by the Allies. The terror which affected the Greeks at Smyrna, when they heard of the dis-' aster of the Turkish fleet, lets one judge what uneasiness it would give them to see a Russian army approach Constantinople.  Patzscit Fuson, Mitts, Sam 4S.—Five per Cents. opencd4t iSc. Closed at 921 r. 60c.  Malta Gazettes and Letters to the 17th inst. have been received, which bring the operations in the 141orea down to the 27th of July only, at which time the admirers of Turkish government had the satisfaction of reading in the Maltese Gazettes a full account of Mahomedan *virtue and Christian barbality. The Turks, according to these accounts, attempted to put down the rebellion by the most liberal and forgiving policy, until the Chi istians murdered the garrison of Corinth, and then their much-injured opponents found it necessal y to sacrifice the Grecian kostages at Napoli di Romania. Such are the tales which receive circulation from authority amongst the British Islands in the Mediterranean ; but future events will probably chew that on this occasion a few interested individuals are not only derei4ng themselves, but also imposing on a part of the Biitish community. Few, indeed, u. le s biassed by priva ~considerations, would wish dm a Christian population should be !educe I by a ho!..e of barlyirians, whose triumph, if obtained, wou:d be attended only by lawless rapine, debauchery, and death ; for the most desperate state of warfare is heaven itself to the Greek,, when compared to the cruelties and insults to which they must submit, if cursed with a Turkish peace.  His Majesty's ship RocneFoal., having the flag of Sir GRAHAM Moonz, sailed from Malta on the 3d. The Ottoman fleet, consisting of eighty sail, had been seen off Cape Matapan, steering to the westward, with the intention, as supposed, of landing troops in the Morea. By advice% from Corfu, it appears that the sentence of the Supreme Council, condemning ANASTASIO CUSIII, of Zante, to six years' imprisonment, has been commuted to banishment from the lonian Islands for the same period—it being understood that if he shall return within that time the original sentence will be put in execution with full rigour. The sentence of death against SGURO and COSTA, of the same island, ha's also been commuted, on similar conditions, for perpetual banishment. The false report lately in circulation, of the appearance of the yellow fever at Bat celona, had reached Malta, and had obtained such implicit credit that the most rigid precautions were immediately adopted against its introduction there. The intelligence is said to , have been sent in an official notice from Marseilles.  r This forenoon we received a Lisbon Mail, bringing Papers to the 16th of September. Intelligence is said to have been received by an English packet from Rio Janiero, dated July 3, which states, that the Governor of St. Paulo ordered his Procuradores to inform his Royal Highness that that province recognized no other authority-than that of the Cortes and of the King, and that bis Royal Highness ordered the Precurodores to be arrested.  In the Sitting of the Cortes, on the 13th instant, a letter was read from the Minister of Justice, containing a statement of what bad been done relative to the individuals who (in consequence of an application to the Cones, on the 99th of April) were ordered to be removed from their places of abode to different parts of the kingdom, because they were declared by public opinion to be the most disaffected and inimical to.the new system, and the term of whose exile was afterwards prolonged, upon a second application to the. Cortes, By great exertions the preliminary investigations respecting the conspiracy have been brought to a copcississait a shorter data than was expected.
