SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER iV'
IC7 3 Oi’n own AKrAllis—Wo have tho pleasure,
this tiny, of presenting the iil.onc.tAN to our readers, in
a new and lieautiful dress, principally front the Foundry
ofE. Whits, Esq. ofNow York.
The steady and liberal patronage which ha9 hitherto
been received by the Georgian, and which has'been
tho more grateful because rendered freely, and without
solicitation on our part, demands our sincere acknow
ledgments. As tho only anil proper return in our pow
er, it has ever been our aim, regardless of expense, not
alono to render our publication worthy of its patrons by
neatness in its typographical embellishments ; but by
the exercise of an industry which has never tired, to
tender it tho medium ofthc earliest and most correct in
telligence, to the commercial community, and l<v the
support of what we believe to ho correct political doc
trines, to advance the true interests of our native state,
and the general prosperity of uur happy country.
A reference to the course wo havo hitherto pursued, is
perhaps unnecessary. It has been open to all, and is
Known to all. That it should havo bcun acceptable to
every one, was not to have been expected—such a
belief would assume an infallibility of judgment on our
part, to which we lay no claim, u pliability on tho
part of our renders, arguing tho nhsonco of all opinion,
which wo cannot admit, or a contempt fur ours, which
w o are still more unwilling to acknowledge. Of this,
howoAvr, we are convinced, that in urging our senti
ments, when necessary, with tho candor ami moderation
which wo are induced to believe are the characteristics
of honest conviction, our motives have never been cpies-
tioned—and however unimportant may have been our
services, limy have been rendered, without favor, fear or
affection, or the hope of any rowanl, save that of the
coiwciousucrs of good intention*.
Wo trust our readers will pardon us, however, if wo
remind them of one feature in our editorial career, com
ing home at the time "to their business and bosoms.'’
When ourcity was at its lowest depression, (in 1324-5,)
when every uxertion in the power of capital and cntcr-
pr;o was made to divert its trade from our very door.*,
when tho spirits of our citi.-.cns were sinking, and those
of our nontoctitors proportionally rising in the scale, the
Georgian stemmed the tide, and although it may not
havo turned the current, labored faithfully (perhaps in
some degreo successfully,) to restore the prosperity
which was well nigh being swept front us forever, lint
enough! tlto egotism to the perpetration of which we
have been tod, we trust will tiritl an apology in the desire
wiiich actuates us to exhibit at least some claim to the
good opinion and support, which has so far attended
our efforts in an arduous and sometimes thankless voca
tion, which has bgbteuc.l our labor by day, and cheered
our weary vigils when our midnight lamp has flickered
in its socket.
We havo said more of the past, than at setting out,
we intended—of the future we shall say little—ho who
is liberal in promises is seldom prodigal in per
formance ; and we ahull llirrcforo only add, that our ef
forts will be unremitting, to maintain the character we
havo sought with ceaseless solicitude, in tho course
hitherto pursued. It is the intention of one ofthc Edi-
tors to attend (ho ensuing session of tho State Legisla
ture, specially for the purposo of communicating to our
resist*, at tliu tflulleat nuimont, informaiimi of ■neb pur
itans of tho deliberations of that body, as may be of in
terest to them; and no exertions will ho spared to ren-
«fcr our columns valuable to tlm man of business, the po
litician and the general reader.
In our Nows Boom will always he found tho latest
papers from all parts of the Union, cither by regular
$ours«ofMail,orby vessel, and upon our Bulletin any
Intelligence of interest received by extra sheet or otlmr-
Vise, with a report of arrivals at this port as soon
received.
The advertising patronage of n newspaper is that
upon which it is principally dependent fur support, nmJ
which of course, wcaro most anxious to sccutc. Tho
Georgian has for many years received a large proportion
of these agreeable and Interesting articles of mer
cantile intelligence ; and ns it is tho evident interest
pf every individual when.paying for tho insertion
of hut advertisement to secure the most extensive cur
rency to it,that being the valuo received for his expendi
ture, it is duo both to out reives and our friends to snv,
that our circulation is moro extensive than any daily
publication in this State, anti that our new type
which comprises n handsome assortment ofthc ornamen
tal, us well as tho plain material, will enable us to dis
play their favors to the best advantage.
Thu WushiiigUm Telegraph, announcing' ll>o recog
nition by tho President, of M. d’Azambuga, as Charge
d’Affaires of tho King of Portugal (Don JVIiguel) re
marks—
“This gentleman has now been aomo months in tho
United States, and by his intelligence and amlabto do-
pertinent, bus contributed to prevent the unfavorable im
pressions which tho prejudiced statements of tho Eng
lish prints worn calculated tomnko upon our public func
tionaries relative to tho state ofafiiut* in Portugal, and
of the King his Sovereign in particular,’*
Wo confess we can perceive tv3 little reason for this
explanatory paragraph as fur tho exception taken to this
measure by some of those diametrically opposed to
to tho Telegraph in every thing. But tho maxim ofthc
British Constitution, that tho King can do no wrong, is
exactly reversed by a portion of tho print.*, in this coun
try, which appear u> consider that the government can
do no right. Whatever may be the churactor ofthc
"statements of the English prints relative to tho state
of affair* in Portugal,’’ tho only enquiry on the part o
our government, in tho present case i*, whether or tn*}
Don Miguel is de Jacto tlio King of Portugal. That ho
is so, caunut admit of a doubt, and tho recognition Og
his agent must follow. Consistently with Uie truo policy
of our government, to avoid all interference in the quar
rels of foreign powers, as well os in compliance with the
laws of nation*, no other course could bo pursued—th u
fuct of actual sovereignty established, wo havo no right
logo into an examination of Don Miguel’s claims. A
contrary detvnnhuition, a moment’s reflection will show,
would enlist us on tho opposite side of the question, anil
thus at onco commit our neutrality. Should tho present
sovereign bo dethroned by tho people, (und from all the
facts in our possession, there is no proof to show ho is
not tho choico of die majority) it would Is; equally the
luty uf the president to recognize thiir ollioial agent, or
that ofDon Pedro in tho event ofhis recovering possess
ion of the crotvn of Portugal, of wiiich there is no pros
pect. Thu memhers ofthc Holy Alliance, have assu
med the right to interfere in tho iutcrnul dissentions of
sovereign nation*, but those who remember tho oppo-
Irium heaped upon them and justly too, on this account,
can hardly expect or hope that our government, by re
jecting tho ministers of an indcpcndnnt power, because
that power may not be considered ilegittmatn,according
to the doctrines ofthc "Divine Right,” should virtually
follow their example, and adopt tho causo of one who »*
considered so legitimate. Tho King of Brazil will no
douht still lie represented by his minister at our govern
ment, but until he furnishes evidence ofhis J»cing King
of Portugal, iu fuct as well as right, thu accredited a-
gnut of Don Miguol has t!:e right to claim an acknowl
edgement as tho representative of a sovereign power.
The Government of Great Britain, it appears by our
late intelligence, lias recognized Dun Miguel by ,tho
permission given to the Portuguese authorities to search
British vessels, and by the appointment of a new Con
sul lor Lisbon.
Otn Formi.n Ro. at ion*.—The Washington Tele
graph has the following passage on tho subject of our
relations with France and England, which havo uow as
sumed a highly interesting aspect
"In relation to Franco, instructions havo been given
to our Minister to leave no effort unemployed hy which
redress may bo obtuinnd for the spoliations on our com
merce. In relation to England, the President is earnest
ly desirous, and has sincerely undertaken so to arrange
tho difficulties between that government and ours, us
maybe mutually agreeable and advantageous, and lay
the foundation of lasting concord between them.”
More Gold.—It is said to bo ascertained that the
common Quart* which in found in nhundanen in and u-
bout Athens, contains particles ofthis precious metal.—
Several grains havo recently been found by individuals.
The Athenian in cummunicuiiiig tho fuel, say.*,—"Wu
all expect to be rich by ami by, and jnrhapi havo enough
to do our squirril hunting and ducking with tho ensuing
winter.” We hope sowith all our heart, but wo hopo
at tho same timu that tho moro regular pursuits of agri
cultural industry will not bo deserted in tho search 0f
tho "root of all evil,” ulthongh it may bring with it the
means of enjoy ing the sport ofsquirrcl hunting und duck
ing. The Gold Mania, it is added, of course, rages to
a considerable extent.
We have just seen a very beautiful specimen of tho
precious metal from I labor sham County, in onu piece
weighing about 13 dwts. and aro informed that tho
searchers arc in tho full lido of successful experiment, in
that region.

As tho author is a man of intelligence and observation,

read with interest.
Tho Columbia State Gazetto, of tho 10th inst. says—
"The Cotton crop throughout the State has been consi

A labored articlo in defonco of Mr. Clay, appeared

The printers of New York havo recently adopted sev
eral reforms, which appear to have been called for.—
The first of these is tlio utter "proscription” of tho mul
titudinous and monstrous cut*, like nothing "in thu hea
vens aitove, nor imho earth beneath, nor iu the sea, nor
in the dry land,” and fit for nothing but tlio amusement
of children, and to disfigure their columns. The
second is a resolution not to advertise for intelligence
offices,some of the keepers of which havo been "brotigh t
to taw” by tlio arm of tho law for impositions practised
upon the stranger and the unwary 5 and last, not least
in the inarch of improvement they pledge themselves to
make rc|»orl to the Secretary of delinquent subscribers
and advertisers, and not to recoivo any such as subscri
bers, nor advertise for them, unless they pay half yearly,
n advance.
However frequent and violent aro tho printers of Now
York in their political squabbles, they show an oxatnplo
to those of all the world iu thuir union, wherever a
common benefit is to he attained hy it, which it is to bo
regretted Ih not moro frequently followed ulsowhorc.
Cotton.—It appears from tho Tullah.issoo paper,
dated tho Gth inst, that tho caterpillar had occasioned
luss injury thin had been apprehended a few weeks be
fore, Tho extent of damage that has been sustained,
was in the ease of a gentleman, who hud a field of 300
ncrcs, from which lie will not mako moro than half a
cropOn other plantations in that vicinity, nono was
experienced ; or, if any at all, in so trifling a degree,
that it will not bo felt.
From tho Magnolia paper we learn that tho Caterpil
lar is still making its ravages among the Cotton on ma
ny of the plantations eastward of that place. A gen
tleman iu an hour, gathered three bushels of the devour
ing animat. This unfavorable circumstanco, excepted,
the appearance of the crops is highly promising. Cano
is still doing well and corn very abundant.
N f;w On 1. »:a ns,—Respecting tho health of this City,
the Louisiana Advertiser spenks doulitingly. For som,
time previous to dm 22ml ultimo, tho weather had been
c«io| and pleasant, with orctndoiinl shower* which pro
duced a change in tho atnioMphern. The number of
death* for tho week did not average moro than 8 or 9 a
day; hut this reduction is attributed by tlio Editor, ra
ther to tho want of subjects to the r podeniir, than to tho
malignancy of tlio disease itself. Strangers and other
persons not perfectly acclimatized were therefore advi
sed not to return too early.
'Vo owe many thanks to tlio Almighty Giver nfovory
good, that wo have not occasion to address this lan
guage lo any ofthoso persons who havo any concern in
or connexion with tfuvanriali.
Tin: Muxican Invasion.—A letter receiv
ed nt New Orleans from Havana,gives intelli
gence ot'tlie return nt* a part of tlio Spanish
wpmdron and transports from Tumpico. An
additional number of troops, to reinforce Bar-
rndas* army at Tampico, was requested of the
Governor General of Cube, which he refused
to furnish; alleging the limited number of
regular troops already in the Island, ns scarce
ly adequate to its defence, und that a further
reduction must inevitably endanger its safety,
There were about 350 black soldiers, howev
er, which he offered; (thinking thorn, no
doubt, moro secure under tho command of
Burradas than tlio authorities of Cuba;) but.
these, when railed upon peremptorily refused
to go. Tims, wo mny conclude, bus'burst tho
bubble of tho far famed invasion of Mexico—
at. least tho indifference exhibited by Gov.
(inn. Vivos scorns to imply that his hopes of
tho expedition aro expiring: and that like a
sagacious politician, with inoro prudence t han
his master, ho thinks it better to secure that
ho already holds, than to risk his strength in
n fruitless attempt at a conquest, which must
ultimately be attended witli disgraco und
ruin.”
By tho brig Bovan, at arrived at Philadol-
hitt, from Vera Cruz, t lio editor of the Na
tional Gazette hns received verbal information
that a guard was stationed around tho resi.
donee of Mr. Poinsett, to protect his person.
Ho was sufo and tranquil on tho 22d August.
Tho editor has received a file of tho Bulletin
Official, published iu tho Mexinun capital, to
tlio 21st August inclusive. Tho Bulletin of
tlio 17th August, contains Santa Anna’s first
despatch, in which ho pledges himself to des
troy tho invaders or perish in tho attempt.—
Tho Supremo Government was organizing
two armies of reserve ; und had decreed a
forced loan of#2,818,113,to ho nsHCssod upon
tlie several states and applied exclusively to
tho exigencies of tho present war.
It was ascertained that many of thn invad
ing troops were disposed to desert to tho Mex
icans, hut deterred by tho apprehension of
falling undur tho law that expels all SpuninrdH
from tho soil. According to tho Mexican of
ficial reports, tho number oftlio hostile force
wns five t housand, ns tho vanguard, to ho fol
lowed quickly hy a second expedition of tho
same amount, and finally hy another body of
ten thousand, who wero to 00 directed against
Vera Cruz. Perhaps this exaggeration was
intentional, with tho purposo of rousing the
Mexicans, to greater efforts. They do not
seem, howevor, to have needed any other stinv
uliw than their love of independence.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
By thu arrival lust night of tho ship Georgia, Capt.
Vaunum, Liverpool dates to tho 7th September, and
London to tho 5th, both inclusive, aro received. Wo
aro indebted to Messrs. A. Low & Co. for papers
to tho Above date, and to a friend on hoard, for a Glas
gow paper oftlio 31st August, and also a lilo of Loudon
papers.
Tho report of tho capture or Const antinoplo is not
confirmed. Thoreportud hattlu nt Kirk-Killissn is sta
ted to have been nu invention. Tiio Russian army re
mained at A idos ; but Gen. Diobitsch was, it is said
preparing for a forward movement toward* Adrianople,
Tho next advices wero expected to bring intelligence o*
the decisive blow.
Accounts by way of Paris to lite 8th An-
just, state that Count Cuillcminot, the
French Ambassador at Const uutinuplc, gives
a very unfavorable account oftlio state of the
Turkish troops and resources, and of the spi
rit that uuimates the Jutiissarics and their
friends. It is said that the Sultan, daunted by
the threatening state of his affairs, has nt
length consented lo the recognition of Greece,
nndtho only dispute was uhout the manner
in which it was to be done. On the other
liunit, it is said and believed, that, the Sultan
continues linn and refuses to treat of peace,
until the Russians have withdrawn from his
territory. No fear, it isjadded, is entertained
for Constantinople nt present, though the
place is incapable of sustaining a siege. At
Adrianople, the inhabitants are snitl to I10
anxious for the arrival oftlio Russians, in con
sequence of the bad behavior of tlio Asiatic
troops.
Despatches were received nt the Foreign
office, London, on the fith Sept., from Mr.
Gordon, the British Ambassador at Constan-
stantinoido of August 12, und from Lord Cow
ley at Vienna, dated 'August 27. Nothing
had been settled as to tho Greek question ;
but the negotiations were still going on.—
Groat exertions were making to raise now
levies oftroops, hut they had not been attended
with much success, atid it was expected that
Adrianople could resist.thu attack oftlio Rus
sian army, athougli it wns believed that Gen.
Diobitsch could not bring more than 35,000
troops against it. That commander was un
derstood to have stopped his advance, in order
to endeavor to intercept the Grand Vizier be
fore his arrival at Adrianople, having heard
that lie had guittedChoumlu for that City. As
late ns the 12th ult. no negoeiutor had been
sent from Constantinople to the Russian
head-quarters. This is tho latest intelligence
from Constantinople.
A letter dated at Odessa, 10th August, N,
S. states that an army of21,000 men, is cm
barking in the Crimea, and a corps of9000 is
encamped and ready before our gates. Tlio
general opinion is, thut tho Turkish govern
ment, is about making propositions of peace.
Means were taking in Odessa to prevent the
approach of the plague.
The Liverpool papers contain the official
account of the lato attack of Don Miguel’s
fleet upon the island of Tcrccirtt, which ap
pears to have been an nfthir of considerable
Importance. The number oftroops engaged
in the affair from tho licet was 3,000, in two
divisions—thn first of which was suffered to
land and destroyed by marked batteries; .fhe
boats ofthc second division were sunk or dri
ven on shorn by the wind, where the men were
either killed or taken prisoners. ’I’ho loss of
theevpmf.tiou was 1,2(H) on shore and 1,300
drowned. It is stated that. Don Miguel had
sent with the expedition some ofthc most vi
olent of his judges with orders to try and im
mediately execute not only the gallant. Vi
Flor, commandant at. Tcrenira, amlijliis com
panion.'?, but also the private soldiets ’lb
young Queen of Portugal, Donmi Marin, bad
sailed from Portsmouth, with her mother-in-
law for Brazil, accompanied by a. Brazilian
squadron. It is said that this step had been
taken by tlio express direction of the Emperor
Don Pedro. Some account oftlio Miguelite
squadou, received from Capt. Varmint, sub
sequent to the action, will bo found below.
In London, nt. the latest date, it was the o-
pinion that money wns becoming more in de
mand, or in other words, growing scarce.
The rains in Euglahd lmd been heavy, but
the crops had nearly all been safely got in,
and the harvest was expected to he most n-
bumlant throughout the Kingdom, und the
price of wheat was falling in all the markets.
The Liverpool Albion of the 7t h of Octo
ber states that the market for the week pre
ceding had manifested symptoms of improve
ment. In Cotton the business transacted wns
on a more extensive scale than usual, the
sales amounting to not less than 20,000 bales
and holders asking a small advance in price.
Particulars of sales for the week ending Sa
turday, 0th Sent, will lie found among our ex
tracts. I11 addition we have had tlio perusal
of various commercial letters of tho latest
dates, but have not room for them nt length.
They seem to agree that line Uplands will
maintain their price, but unless tho coming
crop is less thn 111111 average one, no advance
need bo expected. Inferior Cottons are ve
ry dull. Sea Islands aro still depressed in
consequence mainly oftlio difficulties with the
workmen employed in their manufacture be
ing still unsettled. Advices oftlio 7th, Mon
day, mention no eJmmjq in the murket.
Accounts from Madeira of the 11t h of Au
gust, represent that island as being in a very
unsatisfactory state, and it. is said the inhabi
tants looked with great interest to the attack
on Terceira.
The Scotch papers contain accounts of
disastrous inundations in Nairn, Morayshire
and Aberdeen, from the overllowing of seve
ral rivers, in consequence of the torrents of
rain which havo fallen. Several bridges have
been swept away and much mischief done.
A letter from Paris describes that city ns
in a stnto of great agitation with the trial of
tho Journal do Debats for Its attack on thu
Ministry.
M. Dnval, thn French Consul nt Algiers
lmd died suddenly of apoplexy. No change
had taken place tti the relations of the two
countries.
The u'cnther wns very cool in London tho
latter part of August.
Heavy storms havo been experienced iu
tho Irish Channel, hy which a number of ves
sels were wrecked.
Tho American Minister hnd a long inter
view with tho Earl of Aberdeen on tlio 27th
of August.
State of Trade.—Dolton, August 29,—
The prospects of trade this week aro quito ns
lmd ns over; no business to be done, und the
distress oftlio weavers daily increasing from
want, of employment. The 0-4tli 00 reed, of
91 yards in length, is paid for weaving nt the
rals of4h. 3d. per cut; and thu same fabric in
1814, was paid 20s per cut. for weaving. Du
ring the Inst, week, no less than seven of the
wives, with their families, belonging to per
sons who Homo time fine; emigrated from
this town to America, havo linen sent foi*, and

Riots at llunisky.—Wo observe by the
Leeds Mercury of lust week, that the weav
ers of Barnsley have broken out into acts of
nut und outrage, in conscquenco of an in
tended reduction of wages. A largo meeting
of tho workmen took placo oti Thursday evo-
liing; great dissatisfaction was manifested;
and on the meeting being dissolved, a num
ber of them formed themselves intd bodies, by
which the houses of threo manufacturers
were assailed, and tho library aud furniture
of one of them (Mr. Jackson,) burnt. -The
military and civil power fortunately arrived
in sufficient time to prevent further mischief.
No lives wero lost, and it docs not appear
that any of the rioters wero apprehended. In
tho course of the night, however, one of tho
most prominent speakers, who had made use
of very atrocious language at tho meeting,
wns arrested ; but afterwards hailed. The
town remained much agitated during the
whole of Friday* but up to sevort o’clock that
evening no lint her disturbance took place.—
Tlio weavers bad announced their intention
ofholding another meeting on Monday Inst,
and the civil and military authorities were
fully on the alert.
There is no particular alteration to notice
in the state oftrade. Perhaps, as rocrards the
homo trade, the prevalent feeling has been
rendered more gloomy bv the very bad weath
er, and the consequent danger to the harvest.
Homo failures of drapers have also been an
nounced. The purchases of goods, however,
continue, on tlio whole, lo bo on a very exten
sive scale; and with tho exception of particu
lar counts, (hern is no reduction of thu demand
for twist for shipping.
Manchester Mercury.
For Romo time the slate oftrade in Shotliold
hns been stationery,—neither very bad, nor
yet good. The chief complaints made by the
manufacturers havo reference to tho lowness
of prices at which art iclcs are necessarily sold,
und the difficulty of obtaining payment. Tlio
want of orders is not so much felt us the sniull-
noss oftlio profit, und the long credit taken.
Still we do not hear any murmuring, and thu
reason is, we are aware,’there are ninny places
so much worse off tban this.—Sheffield Iris.

The H«r in the Hast.—Tho Prussian
State Gazette, oftlio 28th August, furnishes
some further details oftlio operations of the
Russian army beyond the Balkan, up to the
0th of August inclusive.
Tlio head-quarters of Gen. Diobitsch were
at A idos on that day. Preparations were ma
king for n *• forward” movement. Major
General Schcrcnictinft’, who had been ordered
to make a reconnoissance, to the right ofthe
main army, from Kurnalmt us far us Jumbo],
was attacked under the walls of Hint place, by
15,000 of tho enemy’s cavalry and infantry,
under the commnnd of Halil Pacha, notwith
standing the impetuosity of their attack, the
Turks wero repulsed with great loss. This
took place 011 thn 30th July. In the night of
the 31 st the Turks retivatcll hastily from J11111-
bol towards Adrianople and Eslci Hnar, or Sa-
grn. The Russians took possession of J«m-
bol, in which they found an immense quanti
ty of ammunition & provisions. On the 31st
of July General Diobitsch issued a proclama
tion t<i the iuhtihiUins of Roiunelin, couched
in thomost plausible terms of moderation.—
The following is tho preamble:—"TheCom-
itHiiider-in-Chiof of the Russian army, which
victory has brought into the plains of Ittitno-
I111, cannot Imt regret, that the Ottoman Go
vernment rejects, with cruel obstinacy, the
proposals made to it in the name of his Ma
jesty the Emperor of all tho Russians, the ac
ceptance of wiiich would have put an end to
all the evils ofwar, and restored repose and
tranquility to the peaceable inhabitants of
these countries; he is thus placed under the
necessity of iblloxving lip his victories, occu
pying the country, and advancing ns fur as
Providence shall please, in order, by these
means, to compel the Sultan to listen to tho
voice of reason aud humanity. In fulfiling
this painful duty, the Commander-in-Chief
feds tlio most ardent desire to spare tho pea
ceable inhabitants, Mahometans ns well us
Christians, the burdens of 11 military occupa
tion, or rather to prevent their ruin, which
would be inevitable, ifterrified hy the approach
ofthc army, they should fake the unhappy
resolution to abandon their dwellings, their
villages, and their towns.” He then goes on
to explain tho line of conduct which Tie calls
upon the inhabitants of every class to adopt,
and that hy which he proposes to regulate his
army on their advance, which nro interesting
hy the spirit, of moderation and humanity
which they breathe.
The Allgemeiuc Zoitungofthe29th ultimo,
lias brought us intelligence from Constantino
ple ofthe 8th of August, (the date of our last
despatches,) which confirms all that we an
nounced respecting the consternation of the
people and the change of mind in the Sultan.
It appears, that, besides thn arrival of General
Diemtsch’s advanced guard,nt. Kirk Kilissa,a
Russian corps had landed at Aniada, 80 miles
from the capital, and that the Hultun’i life
would have been in danger, if ho hnd not. de
clared himself ready “ to do every thing which
could cont ribute to tho restoration of peace
und tho satisfaction ofthe people.”
Tho following extracts nro from tho Ger
man papers ;
Delgratle, August 10.—Our Pacha 1ms
received news from Constantinople to the 3d,
which agrees with what, lias been reported hy
the Tartars that have arrived during the last
eight days. The advance ofthe Russians to
Bmirgns, and the landing of a Russian corps
at. Sizeboli, had caused tho greatest conster
nation both there and nt. Adrianople. Twen
ty thousand Armenians havo been ordered hy
the two Ptriarchs to labour at the works for
the defence oftlio capital. At Adrianople
every body is taking up arms : tlio harems
and many * Turks of distinction tly towards
Constantinople. It is thought, however, that
Adrianople ennnot be defended, because the
fortifications nno so dilapidated; Imt thut the
Turks, if obliged to retreat, will burn this se
cond capital ofthe empire, and lay waste the
country. From Constantinople many effects
nro already being sent, to Asia. Nothingcor-
taiu is known of tliodepurturo oftlio Hultan
to the nnny.
Krajova, August 10.—Rnchova hns been
destroyed and abandoned hy the Russians,
probably on account, of tho superiority of tlio
force under the 1’aeliaofScutnria. It is not
known whether the latter, who is said to have
34,000 men under his command, has crossed
the Danube.
A letter from Orsown,dated Aug. 12, says,
News ban been received at Belgrade from
Widditt, that tho Russians at Rnchova havo
ropiiHuod tho Danube on tho nnprench ofllte
Turks. Tho recovery ofthis place is of greut
importance at this moment, supplies may
now he sent without obstacle to Nicopoli,
Hist own, Uitdscliuck, and Giurgevo. It does
not appear, however, that the Pacha of Sen-
tarin 1ms followed the Russians into little
Wallacliia, but it is probable that he mllpro-
eeed along tlio Danube to Rudschuck, to
threaten tho communications of tho grand
Russian army. It is said that after the depar
ture ofthe Pacha of Setttoria, there still re
mained a garrison of 12,000 men at Widdin.”
Bucharest, Aug. 7.—Gon. Geismar, after
dispersing tho reinforcement sent to tho Pa
cha of Widdin, has retired to tho left bank of
tho Danube. Fresh troops from tho interior
of Russia havo reached the Danube, and havo
takontho road to Jennibazar.

Latest fuom Terceira,—Wo uro furnished by Capt.
Varnuin with the following intelligence from the blocka
ding squadron of Don Miguel off Terceira.
“ On the 24th Sept, the island of Terceira distant
about 3 leagues, was boarded hy tho Portuguese (Mi-
guelite) ship ofthe line Don Juan VI. under the com
mand of Don Admiral do Rosas, and treated politely—
was informed the island ws9 stiff under blockade main
tained by tho above ship, tho frigate Peril, then at
Faynt, getting supplies, and a corvette cruising to tho
Southward of the island—that four captures had been
made, viz. three English ami one American, loaded wit],
lumber, all of which had been sent to Lisbon for adju
dication—that during tho recent gale, they had been
blown off—that an English and a Portuguese vessel (1)10
former of which had carried out specie to Count Vit'.a,
Flor) had mnde their escapo from the island. Enquiry
was anxiously made if the account of their repulse at
Prnya, had been received in England, ns up lo the pre
sent time they had received no intelligence whatever,
either from Portugal or any other part of Europe. They
were furnished with an English newspaper containing
tho Condo do Villa Flor’s Official communication. U
would nppoar thut tho attack was mado under tho di
rection qf Admiral duliosas, in the Don Juan VI. an.!
't was nckowlcdgcJ they had lest GUO men in theat-
lack, 150 of whom hnd been induced lot givo them
selves up to thn iflaudcrs in consequence of signs having
been m;uto them hy white handkerchiefs or sheets and
otherwise. A short time after the repulse, Count Vil? a
Ffor, had sent ou 110 let the Admiral know, that if Id*
would cotnc into port nml surrender himself and his ves
sel, free and grncio us pardot-should ho mado to Iiitn #
officers and men, on the jiatt of the Emperor Don Tedro,
nml K2UG0 crowns paid him, which offer was rejected
hy tho Admiral. The strength of Terceira was con
sidered too great for any other attempt to take it by
force.”
