LATE FROM ENGLAND.
By the ship Oglethorpe, Captain Tecbner, wo
have received Liverpool papers and Commercial
Letters to the 9th September, and London dates
to the Bth.
The information from the seat of war is not
important. The Russian army is still occupied in
the siege or blockade of the three great fortresses
of Phumla, Varna, and Silistria. The fiist and
most important of these fortresses is not as yet
closely invested, but the Russians have occupied
heights pn almost every side of the town, and are
now waiting ftr reinlorcements to commence
more active operations. The Imperial Guards
haro crossed the Danube; and are marching to as
sist in the attack of Shuirda. Varna is partially
invested on the land aide, and bombarded by the
Russian fleet from the Gulf; but it is strongly
garrisoned, and is likely to make a desperate de
fence.
A gallant action has been performed by the
boats of the Russian fleet, in sending and cariy
mg off the Turkish flotilla from under the walls
of Varna.
The Emperor of Russia is returning from
Odessa to superintend the operations before
Shutnla.
The Grand Vizer, of the Ottoman Empire, has
also left Constantinople, to join the army at Adri
anople, taking with him some Turkish diplomat
ists. From the latter fact and the representations
addressed both to the Emperor of Russia, by Lord
Heytesbury at Odessa, and the ministers of the
European powers to the Porte, it has been con
jectured that negociations for peace are about to
be commenced. This, however, is a vague specu
lation, which the position of the Russian army
renders improbable.
London, Sept. 8.
We hear it stated with considerable
confidence, and on respectable authority,
that the Duke of Clarence is likely to re
sume his station as Lord High Admiral.

The war in Turkey. —Despatches have
been received from lord Heytesbury at O
dessa, dated the 19th August. The Rus
sian Guards have crossed the Danube on
their route to the main army before Chui.i
la. The Grand Duke Michale was expected
to leave Odessa on the 20th, in order to
put himself att'ieir head, and the return of
the Emperor to the army was expected to
take place before the end of the month, by
which time the reinforcements to the a
mount of forty thousand men would have
reached their destination.
The fatigues and hardships to which the
Corps Diplomatique hid been subject in
fallowing the Head Quarters in Bulgaria
had been so severe, that it was expected
that they would remain for the present at
Odessa, until circumstauces should call for
their sence in advance.
The Fortress of Poty, on the eastern
Coast of the Euxine, had surrendered to
the Russians. Admital Greig, was press
ing Varna by Sea.
Bv neutral vessels arrived at Odessa
from Constantinople, it was stated that a
scarcity of corn began to be felt in that ca
pital, in consequence of which, an embargo
was to be imposed en all vessels bound to
the Mediterranean with corn.
Hussion bulletins —Bulletins of the Rus
sian armies have been received, bearing
the date of the 7th August, from the force
b f n Shoumln, and the llth of August,
from that before Varna; nothing reinaik-i
able had occurred near the former place,
except that a body of 2000 Turks quitted it
0 n tbo 6<lt,auU took the toad of Este Stam
boul, which shows that the fortress is not
surrounded by the Russians; it was suppos
ed that the Turks bsd gone out to obtain a
supply of provisions, and the Russians had
detached a force to intercept their r* turn.
The garrison of Varna have made seve
ral obstinate and bloody sorties on the be
seigers, but have always been repulsed,
according to the Russian accounts, with
great loss. The Russian fleet had begun
to bombard the town, and on the night of
the 7th Aug. Admiral Greig despatched
some long boats, which seized on the whole
Turkish flotilla un&er the walls of the for
tress, anc. carried it off emidst a tremendous
fire from the batteries of Varna. The flo
tilla consisted of 14 vessels and 2 armed
boats having on board 5 pieces of cannon,
a great quantity of ammunition and 45
piisoners, the Russian loss was 4 killed <&
27 wounded.
Liverpool, Sept. 9.
Recent accounts from Madeira state
that the Governor, with his garrison of
SOOO men, were actively and resolutely
preparing for the defence of the island
The harbour of Funchal is believed to be
nearly inaccessable, and the other parts of
the island are difficult of approach; so that
if the garrison are true to themselves, they
may hold out a long time. On the depar
ture of the vessel which brings this intelli
gence, there was no Portuguse flag, had
appeared off the island, with the intention
of blockading it; but, having received an
intimation from the captain of his Majes
ty’s ship Medina that they must not inter
rupt British vessels till the blockade was
acknowledged by our government, they
sailed away. The Lisbon papers, howev
er, that an expedition, consisting of
a ship of the line, two frigates, and several
smaller vessels, had sailed for Madeira on
the I9‘h of August, to institute the block
ade. Whether they will arrive at the isl
ife bes ore (lie Brazilian frigate which sailed
from Plymouth so its relief,& what may be
tire result of an encounter of the Portu
guese atid Brazilian vessels there .are mat
ters of anxious speculation. At Lisbon
nothing is heard of but proscriptions, ar
rests, confiscations, cruel injustice, and dis
gusting frauds. Don Miguel is playing
the part of a base, unprincipled, and tyran
ical usurper; he imposes on the Portuguese,
through his Gazette, the most flagrant and
ridiculv-us falehoods respecting the conduct
ot * ntluo- in***#*, of Eurupo, oither pre
ianding to their friendship, or calumniating
tliem for their opposition. The trials of
Sir John Doyle and Mr Young are going
on, the latter of whom, according to the
statement of the Earl of Aberdeen to the
London merchants, has beeD required by
our government to be set at liberty, with
an intimation that serious consequences
will follow the refusal of the demand. Ei
ther this demand has not been received by
Don Miguel or he has slighted it. When
the last vessel left Lisbon, not a single
British ship, of any description, was in the
Tagus—a circumstance of which there has
been no precedent for more thayjj a centu
ry. At Oporto, British property appears
to have been respected. The prospects
for the British merchants who have been
engaged in the extensive trade between
this country and Portugal are at present
very gloomy; and the prospectsof the Por
tuguese merchants and husbandmen, whose
principal market for their wines is England,
must be still worse. The Portuguese will
find too late that they have sacrificed their
trade and alliances, as well as their liberty
and loyalty, to a base and worthless prince.
The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has
exercised a wise and humane discretion in
ordering the liberation of Mr. Eneas Mac
Donnell, who had been sentenced to 18
months imprisonment for two libels. The
health of the prisoner was fast sinking un
der his captivity and he has, unequivocal
symptoms of dropsy, bv which complaint
he has latterly been confined to his bed.—
When these facts were authenticated by the
report of the government physicians, and
when it was evident his life would be sac
rificed by further confinement, the Marquis
of Anglesey on the advice of the chief
secretary, lord Francis Severson Gower,
directed him to be released. The libels of
which Mr. M’Donnell was convicted were
gross a”d violent; but as he was not
allowed an opportunity of proving their
truth, we are unable to say whether they
were any thing more than the effusion of
an honest indignation. At all events, his
offence was not one requiring to be atoned
for,with his life, and the Irish government
have therefore acted justly, as well as with
humanity and sound policy ill releasing
him.
All the Governors of Ireland, including
tiie Maiquis of Anglesea, Daniel O'Con
nell, Richard and honest Jack Law
less, are at present itinerating—the last
three employed in stirring up “constitu
tional agitation,” and the first in gaining ■
popularity to himself and tavour to the go
vernment The Marquis is every where
received with a hearty welcome, which is 1
in some measure owing to the affability and .
soldierlike frankness of his maimers, but
far more to the belief that he entertains a •
real feeling of sympathy for the people of
Ireland, and a wish to see the dissensions
and heart burnings of the country appeased
by raising that bulk of the population to
the full enjoyment of the privileges of the
constitution. There are two modes of
governing a country, namely, through the
ajfcctinns and through the fears of the peo
ple. The Orangemen are partial to the !
latter plan; the Marquis of Anglesea is try- !
ingthe former; it is superfluous to say j
which of them meets the better success
Some of the Orange papers in this coun- 1
try, seeing that ilie Emancipation of the
Catholics is fast approaching, take to i
themselves credit for having long foreseen I
that the sys’em of conciliation and partial,
concession which has been going on for
many years past would necessarily lead to
this result They say that it was evident
there was no alternative between ruling
Ireland with stern inflexibility on ascen
dency principles, and granting the Catho
lics the full extent of their present claims.
In this opinion they are unquestionably
correct, a..d most justly do they condemn
the folly of those, who would consent to
admit the Catholics to any civil rights or
relieve them from any portion of their
Egyptian bondage, and vet stop short of
giving them an equality of civil rights and
privileges with the Protestants. The mo
ment that the iron yoke of selfish Ascend
ency was relaxed, the moment that prin
ciples of justice or humanity were admitted
to constitute an element of government,
the moment that the people were allowed
to thin k of any thiDg but brute force &, des
potic will as regulating their treatment by
their rules, that moment, the door of hope,
and reflection, and desire was opened,
never again to be closed. For if just'ce is
once admitted to govern the proceedings
of a legislature, she must “have her perfect
work.” When an oppressed people find
any thing yielded to an apprehension of
their numbers and strength, they will not
rest satisfied till every thing is yielded that
liberty and good government can acquire.
But to what conclusion would these truths
lead the Orangemen] YY by to this—that
the penal code ought never to have been
relaxed, that the Catholics ought never to
havo been allowed inherit property, and
that the priests ought still to have been
hanged whenever they were caught per
forming mass, —in short, that we ought to
have treated the Catholics of Ireland as’
the Spartans treated their Helots! But the
conclusion to which the same truths would
lead any sensible and humane man is, that
the claims of justice should be at once al
lowed, that the rule of law should be sub
stituted for that of force, that a numerous
and powerful people should be conciliated,
anO henceforth ruled as freemen, by the
attachment they feel to a just and paternal
government.
Sta e of Trade in Manchester. —We are
informed that a considerable number of
London and country buyers have been in
the market this week; and that there has
been a fail demand for finished goods.—
Gray cloth, however, is spoken of as rath

and the same, we believe may be said as
to yarns for shipping. A failure in ihe
spinning and power loom manufacturing

Interview between the marquis of Angle
sea and Mr. O Connell.— & private letter
from Clonmel, in the Times , gives the
following account of a private interview
between the marquis of Anglesea and Mr.
O’Connell; “ The only person present at
the interview was Lord Forbes, who did
not, however, join in the conversation. —
Mr! O’Connell was leceived with great
kindness, and, after a few introductory
phrases, be was asked what were the parti
cular objects of the Catholics. Mr. O’Con
nell said, that neither for himself, nor for
anv member of the Catholic Association,
(did he require any honor, office, or emolu
ment whatever. All he asked was the
omission of a word or two in the oath of
supremacy, and the repeal of the oath
against tiie mass and transubstantiation.—
All the Catholics sought was this. Their
Emancipation Bill might be engrossed upon
half a sheet of paper. “ And is this all V’
said Lord Anglesea. “ Yes,’ replied Mr.
O’Connell, “the passing of a short bill
would dissolve the Catholic Association,
put a period to all the affiliated connexions
of that body, and stop the Catholic rent at
once.”

R eport of Peace Set ween Suenos Ayres
and Brazil. —The brig Jane, Captain At
water, arrived at New-York on Monday’
night from Rio Janeiro, bringing papers to
the 23d August, three days later than the
advices received at this port. It is stated
that the Commissioners had concluded a
peace , and that information of the result
was to he officially communicated to the
English government by a fast sailing vessel
provided by the British minister. YVe are
unable to say what credit ought to be given
to this statement. The treaty is said to be
favorable to both nations , which would
lead as to suppose that it must be an odd
sort of a treaty A letter k> a commercial
house in N. York, dated Rio de Janeiro
; August 20th, says:
“There is but little activity in our mark
’ er, in consequence of the undecided state
|of affairs. Flour is rather heavy at sl3 a

of the negotiations uow pending.
“Our produce is not so firm. Coffee has
declined and not much doing in sugar and

From Carthagena. —The brig Athenian,
commanded by captain Sullivan, arrived at
New-York on Monday, in 20 days from
j Carthagena. All was quiet in Colombia,
j Tranquillity was perfectly restored ; Gen
! Bolivar in supreme command, with the ti
tles of President and Liberator; and the
first decree of the new Constitution issued.

ernment to continue in force until 1830,
when a general Congress will be again as

ment, in Bogota. The Constitution was
publicly declared the 15ih of September.
The threo following days were kept by all
classes as a day of rejoicing ; the Munici
palities first, Military second,and the Mer
chants last. Gen. Montillo gave a splendid
fete in the Palace on the evening of the
15th in honor of the occasion.
Squadron for Brazil. —We learn from
our correspondent of the Newport Mercury,
that the squadron, consisting of the Hudson,
Erie, Shark, and Cutter Alert, anchored
in New London, on Sunday last, where
they remained until Thursday morning,
when they got under way and off Point Ju
dith, the squadron separated, Com. Creigh
ton,in the frigate Hudson,proceeded with a
fair wind, on his way to the coast of Brazil,
after exchanging salutes with the Erie and
Shark; —the Erie is to remain a few days
longer cruising between Block Island and
will then proceed Xo. New York.
the information thatcould be obtained te
lative to the Buenos Ayrean squadron, it
appeared, that they proceeded from Long
Island Sound to Boston Bay, and then left
the coast on a cruize The Revenue Cut

the squadron to this cruize arrived at this

the squadron about ten miles S. E. of Block

The Ruinous Tariff! —“ How odd since
the Tariff went into operation, negro cloths ,
and low priced cottons the two lending ar
ticles used at the South , are 15 pr ct lower
than they were ever known.” So says a
correspondent to us ; and our inquiries have
verified the fact, that not in the instances
specified alone, but in almost every sort of
goons, domestic, as well as foreign, the pri
ces are lower than before the passage of the
Tariff bill; while the demand for money
in Europe to purchase manufacture;, is still
so great, as to keep exchange between this
country and England, up to 11 per cent. —
We speculate not upon cause*, but state
facts as they are, leaving the prophets oi
evil to reconcile them with tf;r predic
tions.
Remark —Such facts as are stated in the
above paragraph are coming daily to our
knowledge. Some of the most intelligent
merchants of the city have repeatedly in
formed us, that the Tariff has been the
means of saving the commercial interests
of the country from utter ruin ; that they
are now fully satisfied, whatever may have
been their former impressions, that our
markets would have been inundated with
goods to the loss of credit and of the
means of payment, had not the policy of
the government interposed and prevented
such disastrous consequences. Nothing is
now wanted but a duty on sales by auction,
which will doubtless be imposed at the
next session of Congress to restore the
trade of this country to a sound and heal
thy state — IV. Y. Statesman.

FROM RIO DE JANEIRO— AGAIN-
Peace , or no PtaceV'-*- No Peace
We have conversed with Capt. Baker of
the brig Montezuma , at this port from Rio
Janeiro, and are informed by him .that a
peace had not been concluded between the
Brazilians and Buenos Ay reans, at the time
of his sailing which was on Sunday the
24th August, and on the same day that the
brig Jane, Atwater, sailed for New-York,
which vessel has arrtved.“-Capt. Baker
States tnat he Was onshore late op Satur
day night in company with Mr YVright, me
U. S. Consul, closing his business, and
that Mr. YV. knowing what had been the
subject on conversation since the meet
ing of the treaty making powers, (to wit,
that a treaty had been concluded,’ jstated
that such was not the case. Mr. YV. as
well as many other eminent merchants
whom Capt. B conversed informed him
that they believed a treaty of peace was not
far distant. —Capt. B urges as a reason, al
so that if a peace had been concluded , that
some of the Buenos Ayrean prisoners,
who had been discharged from confinement
would have been released from their par
ole; which was not the case—and from
being released their expectations were the
reverse; several of them had made arrange
ments for their board at Prayo Grande,
('opposite Rio Janeiro because the expense
was less—neither was a cartel at Rio, or
even expected there to remove the prison
ers. Fartbermora, it was even conjectured
that the procrastination was a stroke of po
licy of the deputies, at the bottom of which
was Commodore Brown , of the Bnenos
Ayrean Navy, whose object was to effect
some important move on the political chess
board, and to secure that object, recourse
must be had to procrastination, which is
one of the species of diplomacy.

friend in this city, by the Montezuma, and t ted,

“The Buenos Ayrean Commissioners

ICEBERGS NEAR THE CAPE OF GOOD
HOPE.
The extraordinary appearance of Ice
bergs in the vicinity of the Cape of Good
Hope, may. we fear, from the non arrival
of several vessels, have boen attended with
danger# The fact had been mentioned
without being credited, but it is now placed
beyond doubt by the following relation,
which we translate from the Cadiz Diaro
Mercantil, of the 29th alt:—
Cadiz, July 28, 1828.
Mr. Anverny, Captain of the French
vessel L Harmonie, which arrived at Bor
deaux on the slh of June, from Calcutta
has published for the information of navi
tors an account of several islands of ice,
with which he fell in near the Cape of
Good Hope. The truth of this extraordi
nary phenomenon has since been proved
by the relation of D. Pedro Medina of
Correa, chief pilot in the Spanish trade to
India, and 2d pilot to the vessel Constan
cia, whi arrived in our bay on the IStii
inst. from Manilla. The following is his
account:—
On the 7th of the present year as the
vessel Conslnncia sailed in the vicinity of
the Cape, north of the Needle Bank, with
a fresh easterly breeze, and but linle sea,
the Captain descried about three quarters
past ten, A M. asmallisland E 5 degrees
N., which from the deck had the appear
ance of a white cloud. Some shadowy
lines were afterwards observed in it as usual
inland. On arriving at ESE. 5 degrees
S , to approach near enough to ascertain
what it was, it appeared at 11 A. M., to be
a large island of considerable height, and
divided into two summits. Soon after, three
other small islands were discovered N. t at
a distance from the first. At half past 11
A. M. oti hauling east, in a line with them
we perceived that they were white, and
that the light of the sun was reflected by
their surface as by a mirror, whilst in those
places where the sun did not shine, there
were some shadows as are seen in distant
land. \Y T e remained perplexed With this
phenomenon till the middle of the day,
whea we took our bearings auo f ( , ,
latitude to be 35 deg. 5G min. Kj 11 t
and the longitude, according \ 0
nometer, 24 deg. 16 min. 20 sf c i ‘ 1

“ YVe proceeded YV. S. YV. till 2P y
when steering in a line witn them, ‘
a French vessel which we had des M
since the dawn of day E. S. E. at a
distance. She told us that she was <•?

proceeded YV. N. YV. with a N. Eg!

behind. At half past three F M. * e
covered on our starboard bow two other
ice islands, and at half past 4 p,
stood N. of them, having made
since two o’clock. TJie first or most south,
erly of these islands, presented a square
of 25 or 30 toises of elevation, but
our an apex like the other which lay io j l?
vicinity. A little mote to the northoi
these, and at a distance of three miles
other of a large size appeared. The firs*
of these the French vessel passed between
and the other, which lay W. S. W. of it*
and which* seemed almost breaking
the surface of the water in its neigbour*
hood was covered with small floating piecej
of ice Some time after, we saw at*
short distance on our larboard, as we sail,
ed in the dusk of the evening to the wind,
ward of it, another iceberg which was
almost dissolved. During the night the
wind turned to the N. N. YV. and N. W.
and blew tempestuously all the following
day, without our discovering any moie
ice.
“It is certainly extraordinary, that we
should have encountered fields of iceinso
warm a latitude and so near the Cape of
Good Hope, though liosburgh says in Itis
Chart, that the beginning of summer is the
time when they are most frequently fallen
in with. lie also mentions the case of the
ship Guardia, which, in latitude 46 t 047
deg , stiuck against one, and almost filled
with water from the damage which it expe
rienced, having lost its rudder, and only
escaped by the aid of a French vessel,
which towed it to the Cape of Good Hope,
The same writer says, that in February,
1798, on his way to India, having passed
the Cape, and reached latitude 42 1-2 deg.
in the track of the trade winds they found
the atmosphere unusually cold, with a cod*
stant mist and fall of sleet, which shoved
that they were not far from ice, and which
induced them to return to latitude 39 sod
4 > deg,, from whence they gained the eat
without any further iuconvenieuce of tin
kind. 1 ’
