OlVJB DAY LATER FROM ENG

REPORTED ENTRANCE OF THE
RUSSIANS INTO CON
STANTINOPLE.
Tne ship Robert Edwards, at New
York brings a Plymouth-paper of the 47th
August, and the London (eveniog) Trav
eller of the i:,tb.
The Aincrlcun saysThe two impor
tant items disclosed by this arrival aro the
numm-d occupation of Constantinople by
the Russians, of w hich telegraphic infor
mation was said to have been received in
Pnrh—and tlio continued inclemency of
Ilia weather in England, to a degree that
canted serious alarm for the harvest. It
is quite possible that both of these occur
rences may be lest significant, than, accor
ding (a general impression, they strike us
at being indeed, as to the first, it may bo
more anticipation—a report founded on
what was axpucted, rather than on what
bad actually occurred. That each, how
ever, is to be the fate of Constantinople,
sve do not at all doubt. What influence in
such an event, a short crop in England
would have upon Ihe policy and courso of
that nation is iiioredifficnlt to say—-though
it could not be without very considerable
influenoe. A verv short tlnio must now
derclopc the whole garrib.
can any tiling prove more decisively tlie
confidence which is fell lathe present Ad
ministration ? Ifthoy had been weak or
wavoring— ifthore was any reason to sus
pect them Ilf want of prudence or foresight,
what outcries should we nntv hear amongst
the discontented on the approach of the
Russian army to the gates of Constantino
pie.
But If Ihe people have confidence in the
Ministers, so h ive the Miuisters shown n
confidence in the resources of the country,
which can at any liiue.uall upon Russia to
fulfil her engagements, in an- attitude not
only of persuasion, hut command. That
Russia will fulfil her promises is probable,
if for no other reason, for this, that It is Iter
interest lo fulfil them. She knows with
w-li at jealousy the Cabinets not of England
and of France, but of almost every Conti
nontal power, must regard Iter progross at
the present moment. It is by good faith a-
lone that she can maintain herself against
such a coalition us could soon be formed
aguinst Iter.
Great praise Is therefore due to the stead
iness of the men, who suspected of being
too favoiahlo to military adventures, with
stood every temptation to war, and kept
their country nlouffrom the struggle, and
in a condition to look to its termination
without the favor of partisans. We look
forward with curiosity to the ttext accounts
from the east; but we have every guarantee
in tlte vigilanco and onergv of our own
Ministers, combined with the strength of
our resources, that Imwever the war may

ter of August anils, was received at Paris
on the 25ih. We are of opinion, there
fore that it may he relied on aith a good
drgree o'confidence. If so, It seldom falls
to the lot of a public journalist tn record a
more important event. Constantinople was
captured try the Turks on the 29th nf Mav
1453, and has ever since been the capital
of the Ottoman Empire, and the seat of
oppression in the East. Its population is
estimated at 8 or 700,099 souls, and its sit.
tta Jon on the Bosphorus gives it a perfect
command of the commerce of the Black
riea. But »i need not - enlarge—it is e
nouglt if Constantinople ha* fallen ; and
the banner ot the Cross, which for almost
four centuries it has trampled in the dust
is waving again in triumph upon its walls.

••Harvest.—'The weather, aince our last

for those crops which were unhoused at

The London Traveller of 25th August,
lias the following remarks:—
It is more than probable that the late ol

and notwithstanding all that we have heard

A writer has been struck with the logev
ity of tho Signers to the Declaration of In
dependence as n hodypfmen. They were
fifty-six in number; and the average length
of their lives was about sixty-five years —
Four of the number attained to the age of
ninety and upwards; fourteen exceeded
eighty years; nnd twenty three, or one in
two ami a half reached seventy. The lon
gevity oftho New England delegation is
still more remarkable. Their number was
fourteen, the average of whoso lives was
seventy five years. Tlio survivor of the
whole venerahlo body lately entered into
his ninety third year.—National Gazette.
Flying.—It Is slated in a letter from
Viomia, that n Frenchman is now In that

the long desired art of flying in the atr.—
Ho is said to have reached, in his last es
say, a height of more than nine hundred
feet, and to have then proceeded, w.ith per
fect ease, for a great distance, horizontal

to judge of the merits nf this pretended in.
vention, nor is it stated when the experi
ment in question was performed.
