Y. F.vsnlng FM.1 iMttttfrom Jirtglantl. ?''l'hc intelligence brought uy the ship Hn'vjrt Edwards, Cap tain Sherburne, (which arrived Inn even ing fiom Loudon, having left Dartmouth on the C9th ultimo,) In, a* tarns It can be rell upon, of a very Important character. A paragraph from the London evening paper* of August ?.?tli,Ucnpied In the Plymouth pa per of the 2rth, which states that "a tele* ffraftftlc dttfiatch inald to have been recelv r\1 at Parle, annovnetM) the entrance of the Jtutttan* into Gvn*tantln<'/iU\" In the Na tional Gsxcttc f Thursday, the same fact ?vm apnonnccu, In an extract of a letter fVom a Havre correspondent under date of the 26th of August, for the respectability of \)ic writer of which the U. 8. Gasettc of yesterday morning vouches. Indeed, thfrc teems to be no reason to doubt the accura cy oJ tU? report. After tin unlooked for vigor and boldness of plan* suddenly exhib ited by the Ityvdnns, and their more unlook <.*d for sncCCfi, it became obvious to all that nothing could prevent the fall of Constanti nople, utiles* the ravages of the plague had hecn sufficiently rapid and extensive to chill the ardor which Mich a quick succession of victories must have aroused. Putting (his consideration aside, had Nicholas on the summit of the Balkan cried out to his r<toqucring army to halt, it isdoubtful, with Adi rumple ut their feet, and Constantino ple almost in view, if they would have obey ed the order of the Autocrat. Looking up ?.n the previou?ly received Intelligence as true, the only hojtv forConstantin<>ple must have rested on tne remote probability that the extension of the plague amongst the nor thern army would be so great as to require uatisc, and that pause would be improved ?>y the other powers to negotiate a peace.? '1 hat such has not been the case, and that "Stamboul'j. oriental halls" are now In pov -):>iioo of the Czar, and ravaged by his sol diers, wc see no reason t-> doubt. Assum ing this, then, aa a fact, .what important <runsequence? tuny not be expected to re sult to Europe from this conquest! Altho' have ever disapproved of ithe motives of tfuvtrt invasion of the Turkish dominions, yet cannot but feet gratified at the pro** tftet <Jf tho happy comequtnces which will Row from It, In the promotion of clviliaation and thoniultiplicatlon of the means of hnmau felicity. By the acquisition of such an ex tent o| territory on the Mediterranean sea tt?ird,a strong impulse will be given to the ?Commercial, and tne already tar n<*vanc<d ipantifacturing interests of Russln, by which j.lie will receive a trcmendots augmentation vf that prppontU ranee of power which, for a long time past, has been a subject of coo tont dread to-tho other nations of Europe. Her trade, liable to many and vexation* 'ntetrnpUotis thro* the Baltic, will spread 4welf without let or hindrance to the Medi terranean, and, through that channel, to the market* of the world. What measures mnybederisedby the other powers to check this promised rapidity of growth, are yet matters r.f conjecture. I lad net England been held down by her thousand millions of ?iT ? Nicholrvs would never have crossed the Balkan; bnt If his standard doe* really wave from the walls of ConstantinopU>, it will not fvo an easy matter to fn Jt"j? fJ*<J UlfD from bis new dominions, at? W^cci of desire to Russia. The Otncr Intelligence brought by this urrivat, is not Important. It is stated under the London head, that orders had been glv <jn to the Captains of the Packets between ialmouth and Lisbon, to permit the Portu guese authorities to search their vessels and' '.uke any Portuguese ?ubjecu charged with <jffence? ?gaiu?t (ho Mate. 0/ a paragraph in the Plymouth paper, i; aj>pcar? thut heavy r?ln? hud material!) interfered with the optfutloni of the har vp*t, and that extreme diitreM among lhe poor in the coming winter, in antl existed.

Altho* we believe theee views to be Just mid incontrovertible, wo heartily pray, tbat no reader of this paper, nor any ofhb children, may ever And the circumstances of this Republic such, aatojbrr* upon him their practical illustration. The next'Coq gress will havo much to do In detMtuining the momentons qusetiou. Our particular frionds, tho Editors of tho National inUUiftmctr, (to whom We still feel meet gratefUl (br their weU-UK|at but abortive eftxts to teach us "mognanimity ") report as follows, concerning tho General Post Ofliee: * 1 "Never was anyv public Office so disor ganized as the Dope rtracntofthe Post Office now is." * m Our readers sure awaro that (ho optics of theso polito ami "sugared" Kdltors have lKN>n rather obscured for (he apace of about four year* past; they may nee as bully whon they look into the Post Office as (hey did when they were looking thro' the Wes tern State* pending the election for Presi dent. Tho editors think that the disorgan ization results from the removal of tbe two Bradleys k Coylo. Tho Kditors them Holves are so much disorgattixod from the removal of Meatus Adauis and Clay, and more than all. from their own removal from the service of the House of Representatives that perhaps they are mistaken, no uncom mon thing with them, whether dilating upon matters of prophecy, of reasoning, or of narration. They havo.ncver yet, that we know of, acknowledged thepropriety of the romoval of Dr. Walk ins. Wo biv? mid innumerable abusive arti cle* aimed an (he missiles of malice and re venue, of a depraved, factious spirit, at the headofMr. Barry. Recently wehadocca hion to witness the utmost caution and pro priety on the part of this Ofliccr, in tho ca*c of an attempt to procure the removal of a Pont Master in this state. Wo have no reason to t>elievu that the same course is not observed in every case?and if it is, it displays, at once, promptitude and fair in vestigation in relatMt to charges brought before tho department against ita subordin ate officers?just such a spirit, in sIkntI, as bccomos an Officer who has a single eye to tho duty ?./ tho government, tho conven ience of tho public, and the justico of each case. In all tho removals which have pro ceeded from the President, wo believe tliat the parent conccm for the public good has been the moving impulse. And yet we are not prepared^? defend them all, as Ju dicious and beneficial to the nation. Indeed we do not approve of One or two that have ptoceedod from tho Treasury Department. In abusiaew like this, however, errors must oerasionaly be committed, even U?o' the utmost sagacity aud tho loftiest purpo ses arc carried to its execution. Mr. Abraham Bradley has written a most insulting letter to the Post Master General. He alfedges the indebtedness of Mr. Barry to the public and his consequent incapacity to receivo any payment from the Treasury of the U. 8. He tells Mr. Barry that tho public is already a' loser to tho amount of ono hundred thousand dol lars in consequence of his payments and engagements. He alledgea his total un-' fitness for the office and the imperative ob ligating of the President to remove him, or j his r'ftisal must bring on a motion for In peach ment. We apprehend Mr. Bradley can scarcely bo eom/io? mentit; and if ho Writes totally from vindictive feelings, as we have no doubt he does, his letter car ries on its fkee amplo evidenco of the pro priety of his removal. The Telegraph insinuates (hat Mr. Brad ley's final settlement may yet disclose wane Watkins defalcations. Our confldcnce in Mr, Barry is yet unshaken. Mr. Jefferson's usual good mom will l>e rocog'lined in tho following remarks. Will the members ofCongress at tho present Hay read them with any profitt IK) they never think of tho oxpettso which tliuy heap upon tho nation?of tho ridicule which I they heap upon themselves?of tho delay emharassment which they throw around the important proceeding* of the government?of tho mystery jn which they envelope an otherwise plain subject?by their interminable speech-makingl No man ever gained character and esteem among sensible men, by the quantum ofhia oratory; it titUai at la*t be the quality which ia tho touch-atone?whether in a legisla tive assembly or in profeiational avoca tions.

The Russians, It secnm to lie generally agreed, have actually entered Const ante* Nort.r, and that too without the Intetfe rente of Great Urltain or Prance. Thus It n|>pear?, that nil the speculations of English an<l American reviewers as to the extreme probability of an nrmcd interference upon the part of Great Britnln, nt least, to arrest the match of Russian conquest in order to secure the safety of her own possessions, to which the Turkish nation were consider* ed as a shield against the ambition of the Kusslan Emperor, and nlso to pruaerve that balunee of fiower in Europe, wlilch has been the object ot so much ankicty to the crown | ed heads of the old world since the splendid' career of Napoleon, have 'been fulsified. England, however, must undoubtedly look with the utmost uneaslnexs and torturinc jealousy nt the triumphant progress of Nicholas nml In this bhe must have the sympathies of the balance of Europe. W*?,at results mny glow out of this sute of things, supposing the Turks to be expelled to Asia (which seems to be indispensable) may af ford ground for the most various and inter esting speculation, but cannot be anticipat ed, with nn)' satisfactory assurance, at this distance from the theatre of such magnifi cent events. C'otnta)itinof,/c has been in possession of [the Turks near 400 ycurs, and contains 6 or 700,000 soul*. Commanding, from its po rtion, the commcrce of the Black Sen, ami the empire of which it is the capital, bear ing a rnokt important relation to the corn mercc of the Mediterranean?we cannot presume that its transfer to a power, more civilised, more improving, more commer cial and manufactui ing, can operate other* wise than beneficially, upon the general interests of commerce, and the general im provement of the world. Hi whatever adds to the comfort of civilized life. To at, of the new world, this it its relation of the most importance?perhaps the only one of substantial Interest. Widely different is the case on the other side nf the Atlantic. And as the Editors in London nnd the United States arc making their speculations on the conduct of the Eu ropean Powers in the event of the Russians taking Constantinople?an event very pro bable, if not now certain? Irt us too follow the fashion nnd make our speculations. The Russian's from ?he beginning of Catharine's reign hnve determined on pos sessing Constantinople, and the outlet from the Hlack Hen to the Mediterranean. To lupixtse that Europe can stop them, espe cially as they have now iicized hold of their prey, is sheer ignorance. Great Hritnin had much commercial intercourse with Tut key and dreads the increasing naval p?.wcr of Russia. Rut (treat Britain can not afford to go iw tear. She would gladly furnish a million of starving manufacturers to become food for powder) she can well spare thein; but she has no fund* to spare. Austria mint be subsidised. Prance will not cordially join Great Britain. Piussia it in firm alliance with Russia?it is a family A>mpxit. Great Britain will have to fight alone. Can she spare twenty-five millions a year for ? seven year's war? No. If she engager tn n war with Russia, want of mo ney in the jjovcrrment, will give strength to the populace and a revolution is cer tain A revolution in England will ulti mately Ik* fatal to the ROORBOXS, (ittat Britain, Prance and Austria will compromise with Russia and divide the spoil. Wc should htivc considered ourselves ns strangely deficient In the most ordinary knowledge ??f human nature, if wc had not anticipated some virulence of censure, from certain quarters, for this decided tone in which we have discussed questions of incal culable importance to the people for whom we write. It cannot be expected that eve ry man will possess even reasonable infor mation upon subjects of the moat vital inter est to himself, his fellow cltixens, and his posterity. It can m little be expected that every man who may chance to read our paper or Intermeddle in politics, will carry with him sincerity of feeling end hon esty of purpose.

They could not, therefore, be tbe sentiments of the editor of this paper. We do not desire a dissolution of. the uni on. But we desire Its continuance upon the terms of the constitution only. We do not desire a confederacy, the termsof which are modified and changed, not according to the mode prescribed by the constitution Itself for alteration and amendment, but by means of the doctrine of ** contiruction" applied by an Interested* drilled, and tyrannlaing majority in both bouses of Congress.

Bite has declared that she has not now the constitution of 1769 wiilch alone she (subscribed and udopted. We believe It. What constitution then has she? She has none. She has the will of n hostile majority in Congress.?What is it but despotism? Then, is she to submit to it? Wc scorn the spirit which could ad vise it. And yet, arc wc to be, therefore, ?et down as advocates of a dissolution of the union? No man within its limits Is more sincerely desirous to avert that catastrophe, than is the editor of this paper. But he believes with Mr. Jkffkrsox, that how. ever great this catastrophe, there u still one greater: consoi.idatiok; unlimited I>owcr in the hands of the federal govern ment, usurped by conn ruction j the gradual, but finally complete, annihilation of the sovereignty of the states, within the sphere Pf1^!; t0 ,hem*lvc? by the constitution of 60.

And why may not I, Amicus I'atria>, submit my plan also to the publiel Who is to decido ultimatr ly but the Publiel Can you enable them to see better by putting the winkers on ono oye and kcoping tho other frool Wliat right has this freind to tho south to say. the people ought to have no opinions priw j tented to them but minel A special friend to tho south th? man is, no doubt But with great dcfercnce to his tu perior wisdom, I will have my opinion on tho subject: let him have his: let us discus it, and let the publio judge. No half-infor mation: no prohibition to discussion: of all prohibitory systems, this is tho wont. Let this friend to tho south defend his own opinions if ho can; so will 1 mine. Tim object on all sides, is to get rid, not of the tariff, butlof the tariff-principle: to bring the Constitution back to its first and hone*? meaning. I greatly doubt whether thin will Ikj done at tho next Congress: almost, overy body else doubts of it also. If not done, what sro we to dol That it the que* tion. Two plans have been proposed, ono r<> cot!imended by our cxcelfent Governor, an<2 adopted by tho friend to the south: vis.

Tho other is, tosepcrato from tho Union, quietly hut firmly, on tho ground of a bro ken and violated contract. Ifthn first proposition willfully answer tho intended purpose it has my assent: om object is one and tho same: I want no de pute about tho means of effecting it; but consideration and peacabte discussion is n?t dispute. As to Union of sentiment, wlr but a madman can expect it! Nor is it do sirablo previous to fitll deliberation and di*cu**ioft. Union of Kentiment is then only desirable, wlienit is the result of p:i tiently hearing all sides, snd deliberate!) weighing and choosing among opposing arguments. We do so in the Legislature, we do so in Courts of Law: whyl Becsu?? it fiirnislies the only means of Judging w In ly and safely. Half-information is worthier Iflight l>e wanted, do not forbid it to In brought; do not say hide it under a bushel that wo may distinguish more cloarly and oomfartably in the dark. My objection to the first plan K that while we continue member* of tlie Union, that metailiersblp will fitmish a plsusibl. pretext for the general government to in I rod i ice and twfew i coercive measures. If we say we are no longer parties to a bro ken am^violated contract?we are wilting to do whatever la incumbent on taa rightful ly to do ia oontsytedtps of this change of relative aHthition? if we say we an not en
