Are they directed against Turkey, or intended to dis- turb the peace of Europe in general, and the tranquil lity of Austria in particular? Neither of those suppo sitions are probable. The Emperor of Itussm, at the moment of commencing his reign, can scarcely have bad time to form any extensive project whatsoever. The internal state of his own dominions must first oc ' cupy iris attention ; the amount and distribution of his armies; the state of his revenue, and the sources from *Web that revenue is derived ; those, and 'miry other topics of immediate moment, will be the first to occupy the Councils of the new Autocrat, supposing, what has cot yet however been proved, that he is actuated by that ambitious policruhich we admit to be hereditary, and an essential attribtite of the Cabinet of St. Peters bdrgh, modified or suspended for some time, but not estirguished by the pacific ALZIANDILM. The LIVELY frigate has arrived at Plymnuth,with dis patches from Mr. Wastn.onr Minister at Mexico. This vessel also brings the official Proclamation of the Pre sident of Mexico, announcing the surrender of San .1 an d'Ulloa, the last Spanisle hold in Mexico. Great j oy was manifested on the fall of this fortress. This forenoon we received liamburgh Papers to the 31st ult. containing accounts from St. Petersburgh, of the 17th of December. Not the slightest doubt or hesi tation as to the succession, api:ears to have been felt in thr Russian Capital, where the oaths of allegiance to Comairmartve the First, were taken by all ranks, from the Prince to the s .Idier. The Emperor CoNSTANTINg was at Warsaw on the .19th, and it was reported that he awaited the airival lof his brother the GI and Duke Nicnot AS, perhaps, in order to transfer to him the Viceroyship of Poland. The stay of the * Emperor Cortrtirirtuz at Warsaw, h btersgA -. forward by some Joni as con fi rming the report Ithathe had resigned the crown in fav'bur of his brother; but really. we see nothing extraordinary in it, unless we were to suppose that the Russian Prince' was as eager to seize the crown as our Fifth Harry is represented to have been. The new Eurznoa has succeeded to the throne without the slightest opposition, or even the murmur of discontent, and we see ao reason why some of the first measures of his reign might not be organized as well at Warsaw as at St. Petersburgb, particularly when we consider how frequently the late EMPEROR was absent from his Capital without any in- terroption to the affairs of State. The following are extracts from the Hamburgh Papers received this morning : ST. PETERSBURGH, Dr.cafissi 17. Her Majesty the Empress Mother, has been agreeably surprised by the return of his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Michael, from Warsaw, who; following the voice of his filial affectionate heart, hastened to her immediately on receiving the news of the death of the Emperor Alexander. His Majesty the Emperor Constantine was at War saw in good health. Bulletins are published daily of the health of the Empress Mother. That of yesterday morning, ten o'clock, announced that her Majesty, notwithstanding , her great affliction, was rather better than on the pre ceding day. It was not till the 7th that reports of the Emperor's indisposition began to be spread abroad. On the 9th, notice was given that prayers would be put up in all the Churches for the recovery of our beloved Sovereign. In the Church of the Convent of Alexander Newsky, the principal Nobility, Ministers, Generals, Officers of the Guards, and a great crowd of people assembled. Suddenly, before Divine Service was ended, Major. General Niedhardt, chief of the Staff of the Guards, entered the Church; his face, overspread with a deadly paleness, but too surely announced the fatal news. He went up to General Weinow, Commander of the Guards, and communicated to him the unhappy event. It was immediately known to all present. The temple resounded with lamentations, and tears flowed from the eyes of the brave, who had gone to meet death in the field with a smile. All hastened to the palace, where they learned that at the moment they were putting up their prayers in the Church, in the presence of the imperial family, an express had arrived from Taganrog, and that the Go. vernor-General had communicated the fatal news of which he was the bearer, to the Grand• Duke Nicholas,' and then to the Empress Maria. .• - .• As soon as the oath to the Emperor Constaigala daa been taken in the Church, first by the GraUcl Poke Nis cholas, then by the Council of the Unitire s e-Syrrod,, , the Ministers, and the pancipal Ofilisiti of Sate, till Generals and Colonels of the regiments.of ihe turd:, went to receive the oath from their mbn. The colours having been brought out, each regiment was drawn up in a square, and took the solemn oath as faithful sub jects of his Majesty, with a firm mind, but with tears for their loss, so that the reading of the form of the oath was accompanied by the loud sobbing of the soldiers. The St. Pete? *burgh Gazette corrects an error of the Press. The late Emperor died, not of the yellow (gel ben), but of the bilious (galleys) fever. HAMBURG% Dictums So. Letters from St. Petersburgh of the 17th say, that the Emperor Constantine was expected there that day, but letters from Warsaw of the 19th, say not a word of the Emperor's departure for that city. According to other letters, his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Nicholas would go to Warsaw, to have a conference with the Emperor Constantine. STOCKHOLM, Doming 20. The Guam/ of the 17th gives notice of six wee►s' Court mourn. ing for the Emperor Alexander, the melancholy news of w►oee deAth was brought here on the 16tb, by a Courier nom St. Peters burgh. Count I.owenbjelm and Ideutenant•Deneral Baron Biorastierna will be sent from our Court to congratulate the Emperor Congalmineiumilhis successioatothe Throne. This forenoon a letter was receive 3 at the North and South American Coffee-house, announcing the surren• der of St. Juan d'Ulloa. The following is an extract : " IllAvanur, Domini 5, 11125. " I embrace an indirect opportunity to idiom you that the Cas tle of San Juan d'Ullua capitulated on the 19th ult. and the Com mandant thereof, and his Staff, have just landed, from the Mexican brig of war Victoria, a flag of truce. This unexpected affair has caused a great sensation in the public mind in this city." It will be recollected that when the death of the Emperor ALLIANDXR was first announced in the French Jonrnals,it was stated that the Royal Prussian Calendar, published by authority, named the Grand Duke NICHO• LAX as successor to the throne of Russia ; it "Jill, how ever, be seen by the following extract from the Berlin State Gazelle, that this palpable blunder,. as we called it at the time,did not originate with the authorized Calendar of Prussia, but in an ordinary Calendar, published at Frankfort on the Oder: BERLIN, Dan. 27. The Literary Paper called the Curstursesiensigait. No. 2211, of the 15th of December (published by Brockbans, at Leipsig), in forms the public, that in the Royal Prussian Ca lendar, the Grand Duke Nicholas is stated to be successor to the Throne of the Russian Empire. From Inquiry instituted in consequence of the statement, it has been ,ii cowered that the source from which that erroneous notice was derived, and which, according to the Caneersolawukfonl, leaves no doubt of its authenticity, is not, as was falae‘y. t./allid, Rep] Prussian Calendar, but the ordinary Calendar, printed and published by Trowitsch and Son, at Frankfort on the Odrr. What has caused this mistake, and to whom the bLune is to be attributed, the subject of a strict investigation. a _ 9!' i ' •.D.r.b .:1! This forenoon we received Lisbon Gazelle: f;nonv the 16th to the 19th ult. but they contain no political news. The following is an extract : LISBON. Dtc. IS. Tlis Majesty having recovered from the disorder in his Irg, an as to be able to come trom Marra to the capital, reformd to the Vs lace of Bemposta on the I2th inst. with the Infanta*, his daughters and reepired the'eongratolations of great number. of thW- faithful subjects eagle occasion. To-day his /Rielly and the Primroses, with a spleggiid retiporob attended the solgnsu feldvalaf the Order of Nowa Seniors daSooceisao, in the Royal Chapel of the Palace of !Imposts. In treaties forming . between this country and the new States of South Ametica, nothing is more gratifying or more honourable to our Ministers, than their exert.ons to procure the abolition of the Slave Tt ade ; some o' the States feel a reluctance, but we have no d.•ubt hat the influence of our diplomatists will succeed in ren dering this service to humanity, in all treaties to be formed, as they have done in , those already agreed upon. t.Hamburgh Paper, the Borten Hall List, of the 29th ult. contains the following gratifying intelli gence on this subject : " We can give. from an official source, the happy news for the friends of humanity, that besides the commercial treaty between Great Britain and Brasil. a separate treaty between the two Powers has been received in London, by which Brasil engages entirely to abolish the Foreign Slave Trade in four years, dating from the ratification of the treaty." We copy the following . ominous paragraph from the Morning Chronicle of to-day : " Our readers will see in our column of fashion, the announce ment of an arrival here of a very important personage—no other than the far-famed Prince Marraavico. That the Prince does not visit us at this inclement season of the year, from an idea that his constitution will be improved by that peculiar modification of atmosphere, into which the fogs of the Thames and coal smoke enter so largely, may easily be supposed.-- That the late discussions in the Diet at Preshurgh have not inspired him with the desire of partaking more largely of the same enter tainment at the opening of our Parliament may also be, we think, taken for granted. Wflar. then, has brought the Prince bete at this time? To this question we think but one answer can be given —the affairs of Russia and Turkey. We have no doubt that the meeting of our Cabinet Councilon Tuesday and the visit uf Prince Metter nich have reference to the same subject. But tine appearance of Prince Metternich, so very soon after the receipt of the intelli gence of Alexander's death, is, we think, indicative of more than mere apprehension on the part of Austria." Unfortunately for the sage in the Chronicle, but hap. pity for the peace of Europe, which could not of course fail of being disturbed by the arrival of the Austrian Minister, the premises on which the above conjectures rest have no foundation in truth ; for, on turning to the "column of fashion" in this same Chronick,as the Reader is directed, we find that it is not the " far famed MET ?MINCH" that has arrived, but Prince MITTUINICH, junior, of whose political talents and influence we have never heard. ' The following is a copy of the Journal of the move ments of the Greek and Turkish fleets, as observed from Zante, and with which we have been favoured by a Merchant in the City. It is probable that before this time the hostile fleets have had a more serious engage ment : Nov. 17.

O. At 11, A.M. the Greeks seen at the entrance of the GOO, lying close by the wind, (S.E.) the Turks having retired. At 12 o'clock Turks came out with 41 mil of vessels, and chased the Greeks; from two • to four o'clock a continued firing was kept up between • the stamen of the Greeks, and the headmost of the Turkish vessels.—Distance front the Port of Zante about 17 miles; winds very light and alma calm towards evening, when both fleets seamed firing. 26. &tit Fleets near each other early in the morning, and occasionally firing random shots. At 12 o'clock a smart engagement for a short time, several vessels on either side having hove; to, to give their broadsides, and a bru lot sent in among the Turks without doing the least injury whatever; shortly after another brulot was seen on fire, but no injury done. From one to three, P.M. partial fighting, and eke Greeks making the best of their way through the passage between Ithaca and the Main. The Turks then hove to, and towards the close of the evening both parties were out of sight. 27. At sit A.M. appeared another Greek Squadron from the Southward, consisting of 33 sail, and steering towards the Gulf. At eight the Turks came out of the Gulf with 62 sail, and lying to under Cape Papa.
