XiATEST FROM EtfGLAFD. I New York November 19. W> have received by the old line packe ship New York, Capt. Bennett, our regulai files of London papers to the evening of the 17th, and Liverpool to the 18th of Oc* ; tober inclusive, from which we make the annexed summary and extracts. The ac counts from the Russiau army, are fatal to the emperor's prospects for the present season. It was reported in London that agents had been despatched from the Queen of Portugal to France and Vienna, with pro* • posals to assist her in regaining the crown It was added that Great Britain would aid, -provided the other powers would agree to it. It is confidently stated in the London Sun of the 17th, that two courier had arrived to government. By the French mail just ar rived two reports prevail, one that the Rus sians have been again defeated near Shumla; second that an armistice has taken place. The London Sun of the evening of the I7rh (Friday,) sajs, ‘‘the public will be gratified to learn that the price of corn has fallen considerably since last Monday, and is likely to fall still lower by next Monday” (20h.) The Liverpool Chronicle of the 18lh ult, -under trie head of Corn Averages says— ■“ If any thing can shew the utter absurdity of the sale returns of British corn regulating the importation of foreign corn, it is the following; it is as notorious as the sun at noon day, that during the last four weeks, grain has been advancing at a most alar ming rate in every part of the united king dom, and yet government have published in their Gazette quotations from returns made to them, which would shew that, dur ing that period grain has been either de clining or stationary in pricel This most likely arises from erroneous returns, made in the inland markets, where the growers are interested in keeping foreign corn out of the kingdom; and these low returns are not counteracted by a statement of correct and high priced bargains; for in Liverpool, strange to say, perhaps not one hundredth part of the corn contracts is given to the Inspector. The Morning Herald of the 17th has these paragraphs— The despatches received from Lord Heytesbury confirm the previous accounts relative to the deplorable condition of the Russian army beiore Vrrna. According to these despatches which are down to the 22d of September, Varna had not only not fallen, hut no assault had been attemp ted by the Russians VV e learn also, from othor sources, that the Russians are suffer ing all sorts of privations, and that of their greatest miseries is the want of water. Af ter all, however, Varna may be obliged to surrender; but if it should the victory will cost much more than it is worth, and there is little doubt that he will be forced to retreat In consequence of the recent disasters Nicholas has ordered a levy of four men out of every 500, by which it is calculated that 240,000 men will be immediately rais ed With regard to the affairs in the East, Bell's Weekly Messenger holds the follow ing significant language ;—“ In considering the failure of Russia in the present cam paign, for such it must doubtless be called, we cannot but ascribe it to the total want of all military skill in this semi-barbarous na tion—to the absence of .all the science which is necessary to conduct a siege ; and the confidence in mere brute force, nnillu mi.iated by a spark of talent. The Turks! haye been successful by avoiding all bat tles—by entrenching themselves behind stone walls, and fighting in the fastnesses ’ of mountains. Russia must have indeed experienced if she has any sensibility, a keen wound given to her military pride.— She has been seriously humbled, and lost much of that estimation in the eyes of other powers which she formerly possess ed. The winter months will possibly be passed in negotiations; and if the war should recommence in the next spring, new interests and new actors will doubtless ap pear on the scene The fire will perhaps 9pread, and all Europe may experience the effect of a general conflagration.’ Accounts from Oporto, as late as the Bth of October, state, that business among the British merchants began to revive, and shipments of wine and frnit were making to considerable extent. About 30 sail of ves sels were at anchor in the Druro, ready to receive cargoes It is stated that the yellow fever has made its appearance in Cadi? and the south of Spain. Admiral Coddrington arrived in London on the 10th ult. and had a long interview with the board of Admiralty. [We see nothing on the subject of his being brought to a Court of Enquiry. | Admiral Sir Alexander Cochran was dangerously ill at Tours. Kean, the tragedian, is about to re-visit the United States. The Earl of Dalhousie had arrived in Leith Roads in the frigate Challenger, from Quebec, and was received with distinguish ed honors. The Ktng of England had so far reco ▼eied,ns to be able to take his usual airings. The Queen of Wittemburg, aged 63, /Tormerely Princess Royal of died at Leedwegsburg on the 6lh of Octo ber, of dropsy in the chest The Young Queen of Portugal was ill at her lodgings at Grillon's Hotel, on the 12th ult. but was convalescent the next day The Duke of Wellington received des patches from Ireland on the 13th ultimo, considered of high importance. Mr. Lawrence, the American Charge d’Affaires, left London for Paris on the I3th ult. The London papers deny that Mr. Coop er, the Amer ican novelist, is the author of M The Spy Unmasked,*’ Died, the Hon* Sir George Gray, Bart ] K. C. B. Comtni&sfoner of the Portsmouth dock yard Died, at Ramsgate, on the 9th ult. Simeon the only child of the late Simeon W. Ta vish, esq of Montreal, aged 25. The following summary of a long letter from Egypt, dated Alexandria, the 26th August, and containing a great deal of commercial intelligence, will not, perhaps, be read without interest. “To the merchants of Egypt, it is a matter of congratulation that the evacua tion of the Morea has been determined upon. The Nilo promised an abundant • inundator, and the quality, as well as the quantity, of the Cotton crop was expected to derive considerable advantage from it.— Indigo and flax, from the ptoduce of which the Pacha s treasury had contemplated dis charging a great number of its bonds, have met with no ready money purchases, and are only disposable by barter against Coch ineal at 9 1-2 Spanish dollars, Lead at 9 1-4. Tin plates at 23, Iron and Paper at various prices. In consequence of the un favorable advices from Itaßy, relating to the harvest, Beans have experienced a gen eral advance in Egypt, as it was known that the article was hardly to be found in Eu rope, and Egypt was the ouly country within reach which could supply it. The Pacha has yet taken no measures respect ing the price of Wheat, as he is desirous of ascertaining first the merit of the inunda tion: but it was expected that he would fix it at about 100 piasters. * The Indigo sale, which commenced on Thursday, at the East Indigo House, is proceeding at higher prices, by about Is per lb. on the lower qualities, than at this period of last year, and fid. per lb. on the finer sorts. The sale will last some weeks, and is expected to produce, in the whole, between 700,000/. and 800,000/. Report of the Russian Army . The German Papers remain silent respecting the position of the Russian and Ottoman armies. This may be easily accounted for; the incursions which the Turks have made from the heights of Choumla into the plains of Bulgaria, must have intercepted the di rect communication between the Russian | army and VVVilachia. However, Vienna letters, of the sth Oct. state that on that very day despaches had arrived at the Foreign office from the theatre of war. After the arrival of the courier who brought them, a report was circulated in the capital of Austria, that the army of Field Marshal Count Wit tgenstein continued his retreat and had ar rived at Karrasson, 30 leagues (90 Eng lish miles) distant from Choumla. The condition of that army is deplorable, it is followed by a large number of sick, and had been compelled to abandon on the road a great part of its material. It had been announced to the Russian troops that such of the cavalry regiments as had lost their h>rses should proceed to the Ukrinto be remounted. The letters we mention remain silent respecting the Russian corps d'armee which forms the siege of Varna It is not known whether that corps continues its operations or whether it has rejoined the army of Count Wittgenstein at Bazardilk. The retreat of the Russian army really embarrasses the Ministerial Evening Pa per, • This Journal accuses the German newspapers of having told lies, by saying that the Russians are in full retreat —that sickness had caused very great ravages amongst their rank and file, and that their cavalry is dismounted. The Messenger des Cnambres denies all this; but, renoun cing its excursions into the plains of Adri anople, it tells us now that ihe retograde movement of the Russians upon Jenebazar; if true—is nothing but a stratagem of Hes sein Pecha, to draw him out of his impreg nable lines and to coax him into the plains, where his defeat is certain. If we could rely on the good faith of the Ministerial Paper, its ridiculous credulity might be compared to th.it of a poltician who, twenty years after tha capture of Mantua, insinuated, by his burlesque ges tures, that he did not believe it. The Austrian Observer of the sth of October, brings the price of tho Metalli ques on the 4th, at Vienna, at 94 1- 4, which were on the preceding day 94 7-16, being a decline of 5-16 in one day Bank shares were on the 4th of Oct 1,080, al though they had been the day before 1,- 083 1-2. It is said that no Austrian literary char acter has been permitted to attend the i meeting of the naturalists assembled at Ber lin The War in the East, —The following appears in the Gazette de France, cf Satur day last, (Oct. 12 ) “ Paris , Oct . 11 —We have roceivcd letters from Odessa of the 28th of Sept.— No doubt was entertaiued of the taking of Varna; but it was known that the Russian army was in a distressed condition, and that the Emperor desires peace. If we may * believe the letters from Bucharest, the j Turkish have assumed the offensive. The ; corps ot Gen. Roth has been almost en. tirely destroyed, the siege of Shumla raised, and the Russians abandoning thirty pieces j of cannon, have retreated towards Bazard jik, pursued by Hussein Bey, at the head of t 0,000 men, who flattered himself that he should destroy tnem, fall on the rear of the army besieging Varna, relieve that . town, and terminate the campaign by com ; pel ling the whole of the Russiau army to a general attack.” Dutch papers received on Monday last contain the following : “ Berling , Oct.6 —On the 26th of Sept a manifesto was issued at St. Petersburgh, ordering a levy of four men of every 500 of the population This levy is to extend to the whole empire, with the exception of Bessarabia and Georgia. The preamble of ihe manifesto is in the following terms: Notwithstanding the success of our arms Ini ihe war against ihe Ottoman Porte, and *-ur sinceie wish to put an end to hostilities, die enemy, by bis refusal to listen to our proposals for peace, and by his obstinacy, obliges us to take new measures for prose cutiug this war. and we consider it ncces sary to make our army complete ’ (Esti mating the population liable to the levy now ordered, at 30,000,000 the number of recruits will be 240,000 men.”) Hamburgh papers, to the 11th instant, have since been received, from which we extract the foPowing : “ Odessa Sept. 22—We learn from our camp before Varna, that the Captain Pa cha, after mo3t of the houses, and a great part of the fortifications had been destroyed has asked to leave the town unmolested Tim proposal was rejected by Count Wo rousow. * Farther accounts are impatient ly expected. The news from Asia con* tinues to be favorable, and the victorious progress of General Paskewitset has ex ceeded the most sanguine expectations.— After the departure of the Empress and of Count Nesselrode, the official bulletins will ne longer bo published but at St. Pe- The diplomatic body is still here, and will return to St. Petersburg!), if his Majesty, the Ernpcror, should leave the Head quarters. ‘ ‘ Vienna , Oct. 3.—The Courier de Smyrna, of ihe Ui Sept, contains an arti cle from Constantinople,according to which Shumla is provided with provisions and for six months to come The same says he Courier, is the case with every position in the Balkan, and all the disorder that formerly reigned in tho Tur kish Commissariat has entirely disappear ed. The distribution of provision takes place in the most regular and punctual manner, and this laudable conduct, on the part of Government has had a most bene ficial effect in proventing desertions. Tho Grand Wier is accompanid by one of the Plenipotentiaries who signed the trea ty of Ackermann, and he will be joined by Argvoponlo, formerly Dragoman of the Porte, by birth a Greek, a man of distin guished talents, who was lately recalled from exile with another very considerable Greek family. The presence of these persons in the camp gives reason to con jecture, that the Porte has been called upon to be ready to euter into negociation for peace, as soon as the time the preliminary basis of it shall arrive.” Hamburgh, Oct . 10.—A letter from Frankfort says, that despatches, received from V ienna, represented the present cam paign of the Russians completely at an end, and the emperor is about to return to St. Petersburgh. Cout Wittgenstein, it is said i3 to be superseded in his command, and Gen. Ugarow appointed to succeed him. Jassy , Sept. 20.—Gen. Roth has cho sen Kirsowa as the point of rendezvous for ius corps. The unfavorable result of the 15th, near Silistria, was the consequence of a panic, occasioned by the appearance of some Spaliis in the rear of the Turkish troops. The operations against Silistria will probably recommence after the arri val of reinforcements Accounts received on Monday from Sr. Petersburg!) and other parts of the Baltic, state that almost at the very time w hen the Russian Ambassador was pressing on Lord Aberdeen the expediency of submitting to a blockade of the Dardanelles, to prevent the entrance of warlike stores and ammu nition into Constantinople, his own Gov ernment was actively engaged Tn charter ing English vessels to carry freight of that nature into the immediate vicinity, for the use of the Russian flag. But a” contract with the Russian Government, of a still more remarkable kind, was reported on Monday to have been brought to light. It was said, that a contract was proposed for 500 bblg. of gunpowder, and the great manufacturers of that article, as usual, be came competitors for it. One of the most eminent among them put in a tender on terms so low that they made perfectly sure of obtaining the contract, but his surpriso was extreme at finding that the Duke of Wellington had tendered still lower, and that thet wholo of the 500 bbls. are to be supplied, in fact, from the Government mil is.

W ILMER> “ The Journal du Commerce received by the mail, brings accounts from Frankfort to the *Jth inst stating that although no official account had been published for severyl days past, private lettersjhave been received from Berlin, saying that the second army under the command of Count Wittgentein was dis persed. W hole Regiments of Cavalry were dismounted. The want ol water was so great that three roubles were given fora bottle of water. It was reported on the Change at Frankfort, that the siege es Var na whs raised and that the Russian Army was in full retreat to the Danube. * Liverpool Chronicle Office, ) October 18—10 p. m. 5 SECOND edition. Arrest of ir. flawless.—Hy the Free man’s Journal of yesterday, which we have just received, we lea n that Dublin was thrown into a state of very great excite* ment, by the arrest of Mr. Lawless. He was taken into custody on a charge of se dition, by Mr. Farrell, under a warrant from Judge Burton, Mr L. accompanied by Mr. Shiel, Mr. Brady, Mr Stanton, and others, attended the police officer to the Judge’s Chambers, where he gave bail himself in 500/ and two sureties in a like sum, for his appearance at the next asst- 1 zes for the country Monnghan, and was j then releasted from custody. Election of Mayor . — Nicholas Robin son, Esq was elected Mayor of this Bo rough for tho ensuing year, this morning, without opposition* LATfiST PROM FRANCE Since we received our English papers by the New-York, the Francis First, from Havre, has arrived, by which conveyance the Editors of the Commercial Advertiser have received their various files of Paris papers to the 16th of October VVe have translated some articles of interest which are subjoined. There is no longer any doubt of the evacuation oftbe Morea by Ibrahim’s whole army. The Messanger des Chambres s.iys that despatches from thence of Sept. 26th annouuce the departure of the second di vision, under escort. Transports were furnished by Admiral de Rigny to facilitate the evacuation. Gen. Maison was en camped in Messenia The Turks appeared disposed to follow the example of the Egyp tians. On the 25th Sept five or six hun dred of them departed for Rome iia Col. Fabvier has returned from Greece and arrived in France. The Lyons Ga zette of October 11th, states that the re ’ ception of the Colonel i*t that place was not tho nc;t creditable to the liberalism of the place ; there being but forty sub scribers to a dinner got up at a restaura teur’s, after 15 days preparation and after the arrival of the Colonel from Greece had been anticipated more than a month. - 1 Five toasts only were drunk, according to the same paper, Another account of the 9th gives a different varsion of the affair ; and the discrepancy is easy to be acoun* ted for, by the different feelings entertain !ed as to his conduct at Lyons in 18- 17. The minister of marine and of the colo nies of the low countries informs naviga tor-, that according to x letter from Cap tain Jacometii of tho brig Lliza, of An vers, dated at Batavia June 2d, 18J8, in doubling the Cayc of Good Hope on the sixth cf April last he mat five islands of ice iu 37 deg.

Thursday , A ov. 18.—The following communication was received from the Go uernor by his Secretary Mr. Shaff. Executive Department Nov. 18, 1828. By a resolution of the lust session ot the Ge neral Assembly, the executive was author ised and requested to take measures for the preservation of the arms and munitions of VV ar > the property of the State in Savannah. So?n alter the adjournment of the Legisla ture, steps were taken for the temporary security of the property mentioned in the resolution, and enquiries made with a view to adopt the means necessary for securing it permanently, that being understood to have been the intention of the General As sembly. It was found that the building now used as the place of deposite for the public property was in a ruinous condition :n a very exposed situation out of the city, and on ground not the property of the State. Considerable expense would have been necessary to repair the building, an expense, which under the circumstances, I deemed it inexpedient to incur. It ap pealed to me that a convenient and per manent building to the public, within the city, should be erected. I did not consid- ‘ er it justifiable, under the general terms of the resolution, to change the place of de- ; posite, to purchase property for the State,! and expend a considerable sum in the erec- | tion of buildings entirely new. No course was left under the circumstances than that which has been pursued-—the arms and mu nitions ot war are temporarily in security, and the subject is presented to the Gener- j al Assembly tor such legislative provision as may be deemed property.
