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. -—Globe, 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 er duller, though without change in price, and the same, we believe may be said as to yarns for shipping. A failure in ihe spinning and power loom manufacturing line at Stockport, to a considerable extent, has this week been announced. The house, howevei, is one that has been but a very short time in business, and never, we un derstand possessed much capital. Guar dian. 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.” From the Baltimore Chronicle. 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 14perbbl. No disposition to speculate, most persons wishing to wait the conclusion of the negotiations uow pending. “Our produce is not so firm. Coffee has declined and not much doing in sugar and hides —Our quotations are almost nominal 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. The minis try is composed of six Secreta ries of State, as follows: Home Depart inient, Foreign YY’ar, Treasury Interior, Marine, Justice. The Council is compo sed of these Secretaries. One Councillor for each Department The present gov ernment to continue in force until 1830, when a general Congress will be again as sembled. Bolivar is at the seat of govern 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 ter Capt. Cahoone, which accompanied the squadron to this cruize arrived at this port yesterday. The Cuiter parted with the squadron about ten miles S. E. of Block Island, all well. Com. Creighton is de lighted with the Hudson—she proves a very fast sailor — N Y. Com. Advertiser. From the New York American. 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. Baltimroe, Oct. 18. 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. Extract of a letter received by a Commercial friend in this city, by the Montezuma, and t ted, Rio de Janeiro, 23d August, 1828. “The Buenos Ayrean Commissioners have arrived ; the negociations for peace have been going on for ten days. It is the general opinion, that the terms are actual ly concluded A public journal of yester day stales, emphatically, that the Treaty is signed. This we doubt, though we believe such will be the result of the present nego ciation. At this crisis buisine>s is at a stand; the ships Suffolk and Gov.

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 Cadiz meridian, which agreed with if’ 1 * nar observations made the day before V islands theu lay N 78 deg. 30 min \( 4 distance of seven or eight miles ‘J, 1 . 1 sounded, and at the depth of 135 < found no bottom, besides which, the remained of a green colour, circumsr ** which left no doubt on our minds that apparent islands were banks of ice } * comedown to lat 35 deg 54 min’* 1 sec.

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 <•? L’Harmonie, from Calcutta, and as i whence we came, where bound to what degree of latitude we had ofcserw Having told her, she replied that servations agreed with hfrs, and gave the lon. 16 deg. 18 min.

N N E. wind, and left the French 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 ’ We have already noticed the trial and conviction at Danbury Conn, of Isacc Bis* hop, on indictments for Adultery and puis* oning the wells of some of his neighbors - The New Haven Herald furnishes the fol lowing particulars which have not before been published : Bishop was a man of property estimated at from eight to ten thousand dollars, and had heretofore been a man of respectability. He held the office of constable of the town of Stanford for many years. James B. Weed, the husband of Nancy, had commenced an action against him for the seduction of his wife, in which he recovered before the County Court, S2OOO damages. Bishop removed it appeal to the superior court, where it isnow pending. In this suit all his real estate had been attached. The individuals whose wells had been poisoned, had also com menced suits for the recovery of damage* on which his property was attached, and which was also pending. During the tero of his imprisonment in the Gaol he had frequently expressed his determination do. to be removed to the State Prison ;a c “ had written to Mrs. Weed, his paramour, to prepare his grave clothes.
