Since this de termination had been made known the capital had become more tranquil, but great agitation prevailed in all the provinces, where the adherents of the Janissaries grew more daring every day, and not only frustrated all at tempts at raising forces, but added to the dangers of foreign invasion, the constant alarm of internal insurrec* lions Nothing was known of the Turk ish army, and the troops sent towards Adrinnople, to form a junction with it there, had turned back to the camp at Ejub, in front of Constantinople, where only 15,000 men were assem bled. The same apathy which made the propb* of the European provinces submit to the Russians wherever they appeared, was universally displayed in 1 sia. where recruits could not he brought to the garrisons unless bound on the backs of camels. The situa tion of the Porte is, therefore, justly represented as oik* from which peace alone could extricate her, and from the concessions which the Sultan seemed disposed to make, it was al ready augured that peace might be considered as concluded. The Odessa Journal states—when our troops took Carnabat and Yambol, the enemy vainly attempted to make some resistance in the latter place.— But the Ottomans are wholly dispirit ed. Their soldiers came f.iom Kirk- killissa to ground their arms before our troops. Our advanced guard pus ed on as far as Foki, on the road t ’drianople. The enemy retired towards Pliiliopoppoli. The Allgemeine Zeitung states that the movements of troops in the interi or R issia had censed, arising from the fact that peace was at hand. The Emperor of Russia has oon- fered upon Count Diehitsh the title of Snhalkansi (passer of the Balkan.) and has ordered the Tcherrngow regiment of foot, to he called the regiment of Count Diebitseli Sabnlkausi. NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. The Journal of St. Petcrsburgh Contains the following:— From the Camp at Jiidos, July 2olh (Gth Aug.) Soon alter his arrival Count Diebitseli learned that the Ma hometan inhabitants of some villages near the town, who had fled into the mountains on the approach of our troops, had expressed a wish to return to their homes with their families, and there to live under the protection ot the army: tire General hastened to take advantage of this wish. After this communication the inhabitants of 12 villages, all Mahometans, encour aged by the assurances of Ids Excel lency, had delivered up their arms to us and returned to their homes, and h ve received from the Commandcr- in-Chicf letters of protection and safe guard. The sam s measure is begin ning to be carried into effect further on towards Adrianople, and several villages have submitted and delivered up their arms to the vanguard of C mat Pahlen’s corps, at Faki, proin- ishg to remain quiet under our pro tection. Under these favourable circum stances, the Commander-in-Chief has thought proper to issue a proclamation to the inhabitants of Romelia. PROCLAMATION. The Commander-in-Ghief of the Russian army, which victory lias brought into the Plains of Rumelia, cannot but regret that the Ottoman Government rejects, with great ob stinacy, the proposals made to it in the name of his Majesty the Emperor of all the Rnssias, the acceptance of which would put an end to the evils of war, and restore repose and tran quility to the peaceable inhabitants of these countries. He is thus placed under the absolute necessity of fol lowing up his victories, occupying the country, and advancing as far as Prov ince shall please, in order by this at Aides, mcain -.o >. oi*., . i t v. .j.ti.viu kj usu »i to th voice oi icasouand nuinaniiy.

Ians, the buidens of a military occupation—or rather to prevent their ruin, which would be inevitable, if, terrilied by the approach ol the ui- iny, they should take the unhappy res olution to abandon their duellings, their villages, and their towns. I'he Commander-in-Chief has there fore thought lit to issue the following notice:— 1. All Musseltncn, inhabitants of the towns and villages are called up on to remain quietly with their wives and children in their habitations and possessions, and not to fear being mo lested by any person whatever. They are only however, to give up all their ai ms, which will be preserved in a sale place.

All the local authorities of cities, such as Adrianople and others, the Ayans, Cadis, Notables, &c. are also called upon not to leave their bouses, but. to continue to direct the adminis tration. that the lives and property of the Mussulmen inhabitants may be protected and maintained. No Rus sian authority will interfere in the concerns of the Mussulman with each, which will be examined and regulated by the competent Mussulman author ities of the place. 4. The inhabitants will get in their harvest, and put the corn into the hams for their own use; the overplus not required by them for their own use may be sold by them to the Rus sian army, which will pay for every thing according to the established prices. 5. In all towns the Mussulmen Au thorities will give up to the Russian all articles belonging to the Turkish Government—such as cannon, arms, ammunition, and provisions. When once this is done, no person whatever will lie permitted to meddle with pri vate property; and every inhabitant shall keep and dispose of, at his pleas ure, all that he possesses. 6. In the cities, towns ami villages the soldiers will not occupy any of the houses inhabited by tiie Mussul-' men, and the strictest measures will he taken that the Mussulman inhabit ants, their wives and children, may not be exposed to any insult or oppres sion from the troops. All the points herein specified shall be punctually observed, and the Mus sulman Authorities will take care that the Commander in Chief shall he informed ofeveiy thing relative to the strict observance of them. Head-quarters, Aidos, July 31, 1329. Constantinople, Aug. 9, According to the latest accounts brought from Asia by a Tartar, the Russians were half way between Er- zerouin and Trebisond, and h; d occu pied the copper mines in those parts. Persons acquainted with the country, affirm t at the last half of the way presents more obstacles than the first, on account of the broken nature of the ground, which may afford the Turks many opportunities of making an obstinate resistance. According to the same accounts, Trebisond has been again very hard pressed, a divis ion of the Russian fleet, consisting of 14 sail, came and bombarded the town. It is said that above 12,000 balls were thrown into it, and did great damage. At the same time 1,500 men were landed, hut are stat ed to have been repulsed with the loss of 500 men, and forced to re-em- bark, after which the fleet sailed to wards the eastward. “Political relations of Rus sia.—Three Russian Captains, now at Havre, feeling alarmed at tho war- five of which were from the neighboring counties of Bedford and Somerset, Pa. and hr Capt.

The two inner parts of this compound ladder, are furnished with a rack work, going the whole length on each side, the cogs of this work on a pivot driven by a winch on the side of the ladder. When it is raised against the side of a house, the winch is turned, and the inner part extends upwards, till its whole length is raised; the se cond part then takes the pinion, and if necessary to reach a greater height, is raised also to the whole extent of the ladder. There is provided on which is made to ascend, if necessary, a basket, by means of which persons can be let down in safety from the highest stories. Salt.—The Secretary of the Treas ury has issued a circular to the Mar shals of the United States, enclosing copies of letters sent to the rilanufac- turcs of Salt, throughout the Union; requiring information respecting the number of salt works, the amount of capital invested,the number of persons engaged, the prices and kinds of Salt manufactured, &c.; and requesting also of each Marshal such additional information on the subject as may be ill his possession.

B. 1 Little, Rev. L. H. Johns, and ReV. H. Haverstiok. The Rev. Mr. Miller then commenced the cer- euioniej by singing a hymn and offer ing up ft prayer; after which he de livered a very feeling and able ad dress to the multitude of people who had assembled to witness the execu tion. When he concluded the Rev. Mr. Young addressed the throne of Grace in a feeling and appropriate prayer. Another hymn was then sung, and an appropriate prayer was offered up by the Rev. Mr. Johns. After singing another hymn, and the Cler gymen severally shaking hands and biding the unfortunate man a “God s help”—the rope was adjusted, and the cap drawn over his face by the She riff.—To several questions when put by the Rev. Mr. Little, relative to his prospects of a future salvation, he observed, that he " died in peace with all the world, with his God, and with ail unshaken hope of a glorious resur rection.” A few moments before the fall of the platform, he stated to the Sheriff and the Rev, Mr. Little, in relation to some particulars previously given by him to them, that they were true, and declared them to be so, in the presence of the ‘Judge of all the earth. The Rev. Mr. Little then continued to exhort and comfort him with the declarations and promises of the Sa viour, until 20 minutes before 12 o’ clock, when the Sheriff told him his last moment had arrived—and let the platform drop from under him!—The Rev. Mr. Little, who stood by him till his last moment, understood him to say, (as lie had previously said he would)—“ God be merciful to me a sin ner! Lord Jesus receive my spirit/” and he died without much struggling or apparent agony. The particulars communicated and affirmed in his last moments, we are not able to procure; hut understand th*y are the facts in relation to the de-'d for which he had to pay the for feit of his life. As a full confession, however, (made to the Rev. Mr. Little,) is to be published in a few weeks, every fact and circumstance relative to the murder, &c. will be given to the world. The multitude that nssempled to witness tho last moments of this un fortunate being, has been variously estimated at from 4000to6000 souls: we should conclude, however, that there were between four and five thousand. Value of a Mummy.—The Albany Argus contains a report of a case re cently tried before Judge Duer, for the recovery of (lie value of an E- gyptian mummy. From the evid ence, it appeared that the mummy was a genuine one—and that while on exhibition at Renssalaerville, in Al bany County, some young “students in a doctor's shop’’ were seized with a desire of dissecting (his ancient of days, and accordingly they broke into the house at midnight, bore off the mummy, and from that day to this, it had not been heard of. Some of the parties being identified, an action of trover was instituted against them, and a decision rendered for the plain tiff of $1.200 damages, and costs of suit. Trial for Murder.—At the Court bf Oyer and Terminer, on Tuesday, Judge Duer presiding, Thomas 1.

Wheeler, Yaiider- pool, and Maxwell, for the prisoner and by the District Attorney, Mr Hoffman, for the prosecution. On Wednesday morning the Judge charg ed the Jury in a very lucid, able, and pathetic manner. They retired at half past ten, and returned about three, with the verdict of manslaughter and a recommendation for mercy Extract of a letter to a Gentleman in Canton.

The following descrip tion is given of it in the Salem Gaz ette: “The ladder when dvawn to- extreme. Travelling the road from Canton to New Lisbon, about 13 miles east of the former place, 1 came to where a tree had just fallen across the road, and in its fall had crushed to death a man and woman, who were iiding eastward in a one horse wagon The tree had fallen diagonally across the wagon, broke it down, and the horse was standing quietly in the shafts, unhurt, and no particle of the gears lossened. The persons killed appeared to be a man and his wife, travelling on a journey; the man ap parently about fifty years of age; of the woman no judgment could be formed, ns her head was crushed literally to atoms, and no vestige of her countenance could be disc erned. Several persons were on the spot when I came up; among whom were Robert Alexander, of Paris, and Pe ter Coyer, formerly of Osnaburg. I assisted in getting the tree off the bo dies, and, on examination, found a pocket book, with eighteen dollars in money and some papers in it; from which it appeared that the man’s name was John Herr, and that he lived in Perry township, Wayne county, Ohio. The wagon bo:lv in which they rode was painted ted, and covered with black canvass. Mr Alexander agreed TEMPERANCE.

Boudinott,—Before 1 take leave of this place, perhaps never a* gain to re-visit it, I must claim the indulgence of making a few remarks through the Phoenix, for the purpose of correcting some statements, that have been associated with my nainet and busily circulated here statements if not corrected, not only calculated to injure my character, but to feed the spleen of my enemies, and to wound the feelings of my best friends. It has been reported that upon my being denied the right of pleading the cause of J. Pettit before the Honor -* ble Committee and Council, I left tho Council room in a rage, and gave ut terance to those, words: “the day wilt come when I will have satisfaction and revenge.” That these words never dropped from my lips, I do most solemnly and unhesitatingly af firm. so far from it they nevet had a place within the range of my thoughts- and 1 challenge any man to establish
