ANCONA, Dsc. so. A Ressian courier has arrived in this port, coming from the Heat in the Mediterranean, and proceeded on his way to St. Petersburgh. At the same time an Eng lish courier embarked for Corfu. The Plenipotentiaries for the affairs of Greece must, by this time, have left Poem for Naples, where they will remain for some time, and then return to Greece. It is, however, thought possible, that after some weeks' stay at Naples, Mr. Stratford Canning may return to Colo. Notwithstanding the bad . weather at this season of the year, great activity is observed in the English fleet in the Mediterranean, and every thing indicate. that important events are at hand. It is said that a North American squadron will appear in the Archipelago neat spring—a circumstance which gives rise to all sorts of reasonings and political cojectures. The English who trade in the Levant, and especially those who. are ready to freight vessels, are alarmed at these reports. It would nit be at all improbable that the Porte should concede great commercial ad vantages to the United States of North America, that they might assist it in their contest with the G.eeks. Those Englishmen who are su much interested in the pre.ervatiou of t .e most perfect harmony between their nation and the Turks, long for the return of the Plenipotentiaries to Constantinople. The French have philanthropic view., and cannot pe:suade themselves that the most powerful fre , State in the 1.1.- w World can consent to assist with its naval foiee in the oppression of a Christian nation, even though that State should derive the greatest advantages fromir. It seems very certain that the North Americans are seeking greatly to extend their commerce in the Archipelago, and that with this view they are negotiating with the Porte,without interfering in any manner with the affairs of Greece; but it is not to be supposed that the policy of the United States of North America thinks 1.1 coma teracting the projects of the three principal maritime Powers of Europe. No:withstanding the dechration of the blockade of the Dardanelles, numerous cargoes of articles not contraband continue to be sent from all the ports of Italy for Constant nople. ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 20. FROM A COMMERCIAL LITTER. Some French tramples have brought to this city the troops which composed the garrison of Pattas. The object of the Allies appears to be to occupy the island of Candia, a very numerous European fleet having as sembled at Soda, as ii to invite the Turks to evacuate Candia. Two French vessels sailed for Poros, escorted by a Bench brig of war. These vessels had on board 900 Greek skeet, redeemed from the Tusks at the es passe of the Kiug of France. It has been discovered mat these are at Cairo a great number of those onfor tunue people. TRIESTE, JAR. 7. It is but now that the bluckade of the Dardanelles begins.

LITERATURE. MEMOIRS OF JOSICPH I NF, Voi. ll.—Couwam. We give the following extract descriptive of the capture of Paris in 1814, from the English translation of thi s ve r y lively novel, which, although list pub• lished, has, we see, Are dy reached a second edition : " We were awakened on the 30 h of March by the dreadful reports of cannon roaring near the heights of St. Chaumont, at a short distance from the house in which I resided. Unable to contain myself. I grasped in my arms my son, who was fast asleep in the cradle, and in the greatest agitation of mind. rushed into the street to inquire the news. The inhabitants, with pale and dejected cruntetiances, questioned the National Guards, who were supposed to be better informed, and who still maintained their wonted composure. "King (Joseph is at Montmartre; he has just sent is word th it every thing was going on well ; the Cossacks had been driven back by the trovs which occupied the height. The pupils of thePolytechilic School have offered to serve the artillery ; their ardour will stimulate our soldiers to fresh exertions and this defence will *fluid Napoleon time to come to our relief; as soon as he makes his ap pearance we shall be saved; consequently you need be under no apprehension." These words were followed by loud cries of " Long live the Emperor r Some hours afterwards a few howitzers fell into gm: street ; the National Guards hastened to quit their. poq ; they even threw their sentry-box into a well, and fled to their respective homes, for the purpose of calming the fears of their families, and proteCting thnirproperty from plunder. F. ightened beyond measure at being so nliarthe scene of action, I determined to solicit an asylum from some of one friends in the Faubourg St. Germain. I. cau tioned the servant not to refuse anything to the enerny, who would, no doubt, commence their measures of violence by the suburbs. I left the keys of every place after me, being satisfied that the least ; iesistAnce was offered to them the least violence they would attempt, And I started off on foot, with a heavy heart, dressed in a nightiowa and night-ceP A add without reflecting that I was going to ceass.the whole of Pair in this trim, with a child in my arms; who appeared delighted at the perpetual motion around him. In taking leave of a spot where I had enjoyed some happiness, and which' I espeeLed to find, on my return, a complete scene of desolauoo r I wept bitterly. My child attempted to wipe away my tears s►ith his little hands; finding his efforts were in vain, he joined his sobs to mine, and ex. claimed, Minima, Goo is just, he will kill the wicked; and our good soldiers will heat those mis Ichievous Cossacks who eat little children.'t Just as he was finishing the phrase we reached the rue de Roche , houard. where a most appalling spectacle met nut. sight. 'Our ill fated army was re-entering Paris. The vene rable countenances of the veteran soldiers bore the stamp of the deepest despair. Wounded,and exhausted with fatigue, they dropped from their horses ; they im plored a morsel of bread and a glass of water. Will it be believed that some women were found to ri fuse them that trifling relief, and to close their doors upon them ? These heroes, who were just betrayed by fortune, tailed to awaken the common tidings of hurnarrity, and their very countrymen were instrumental in heightening the bitterness of Veit defeat. I now regretted for the first time having left home with so much precipitancy ; a few pieces of coin would have them appeased to me a perfect treasure, but I had only tears to offer to misfortune; at all event, I was impairing of them; a poor cavalry soldier lay exhausted upon the ground, owitsg to theloss of blond, which was flowing in torrents from a deep wound ; his white cl'ak was Covered with gore. Hitherto my excessive weak ness of nerves made it impossible for me to bear the sight of a wound without fainting ; at this moment, on the contrary, I felt animated with unusual strength; 1 knelt down near the wounded man ; removed the hand kerchief from my son's neck in order to prepare a bas - doge. I desired t'se poor child, who was trembling like a leaf, to hold op the soldier's bare arm, which was cut rpen in many places. and I was on the point of deessing the wound to the best of my power, when a man of a certain age laid hold of the handkerchief I was about to use, saying in a lough tone of voice, 4 . You do not go about it properly ; I shall do it better ; this is my province." Hie immediately cut off the sleeve, laid a bandage over the wounds, made my proieje swallow a few drops of spi ituous liquor. thrust a piece of wild into his pocket, and disappeared as quickly as lie had accosted us, with the intention, no doubt. of bestowing his welcome assistance in doodles vaster. The dragoon ooened his eyes, thanked me with a look for the com passion I had shown to him, and was pl iced by an offi cer's orders in a cart which was to convey hies to the hospital. I regret not having it in my power to give a clearer description of the Surgeon I have just mentioned. 1 was too much agitated to ask him his name; and from the abrupt manner in which he left us, when his assi.t• ante wit. no longer necessary. I am coi.fident that hr would have ief used to gibe his name. He WA.. sails& I with doing good, without seeking to reap the reward of a meritorious action. His example operated a change in the conduct of many of the inhabitants who wit- nessed his compassionate benevolence, aid, ptevionsly to quitting such a scene of honor, I had the c ►u.olation to find that relief and attention had already been be stowed to several soldiers. I was scarce able to support myself through fat;gue and emotion; fortunately I met a cabriolet. which took me to my friends. I arrived there in a condition which it would be impossible to describe, and so much fright ened that I did not notice the calm th..t pervaded that part of the Metro/silts. I was as little sit tick with the composure of the worthy family of whom I came to solicit an asylum. " What can have happened to yew ?" asked the three daughters at once; e‘ you have %tains n! blood on your petticoat, on your night gown, on your hands ; you are extremely pale. Pray tell us what fia• hap; ened to you ?" I li.teited without heating what they said, lookeJ without •eeing anb object, and pies.ed my child with such violence that they were unable 1. , remove him from my aims. Failing to get any answer tram me they asked the infant, who related in a childish but expres , ive manner the events which had so much terrified his mother. His innocent linguage informed them that the enemy were at our ga es ; and a child, only three years old, announced the bombarding 0' Palk, the news of which had not yet reached the flue de Bourbon! The remainder of my family arrived a few mimes afterwards, a'►d informed us of the prevailing report that a capitulation was shout to be signed; that we would, at all events, be p►ovided with details towards the evening, as my servant was to bring me a letter rrom one ►d my neighbours, who would possibly write to inform me of whatever might transpire. The whole day wa. pas.ed in a state of dreadful un• certainty. Many reraons who came to see Madame ll—, brought contradictory revits, CACI succeeding oi.e more alarming than the first; they only agree.] in one poi .t—the Meat of the French; this was quite enough to justify tle state of despair into which we were thrown. I received at last, about eight o'clock, the following note from my obliging neighbour, which 1 copy with out any alteration— •• There is no probability, Madame, that Paris will be given up to plunder; every thing is calm around us : it is asserted that the Duke de Raguse has signed an advantageous capitulation with the Allied Sovereigns; Montmartre is covered with their troops—we see their fires and hear their houras. 'fug have sent to ask for fiddlers, in order that they might enj.l a dance; they pay for every thing, and it is said that they are enjoined the most strict discipline, under pain of the severest punishment. There are 25 Cossacks stretched on the ground before your door. M. de Fontvanne,who came to 'night to inquire after your health, accidentally struck some of them; they quietly moved out of the way. A cannon has been placed at each end of the street, pointed towards the city. in order to intimidate the people; the latter are endeavouring to recover from the intense alarm to which they had been a prey. It is al o said that forty thousand men are to enter Paris to-mrrow morning, with the Emperor Alexander at their head. repeat to you, Madame, that all is quiet ; your ser vants take proper care of your house, which you will find in the same condition in which you left it. Return t -morrow to your friends, who can well account fur your maternal apprehensions, which are now happily unfounded. My wife has already returned, and expects to see you. " Pads, 30th March, 1814, at night." This lever calmed our fears, and we accordingly re solved to return to the suburbs on the following morning. The following are some additional particulars re specting the same event— Josephineoften sought opportunities that might af f words were to be found In many pmelentatlona of the period. cord her the means af being useful to persons in the greatest distress; delighting to be of service, she after wards derived enj intent from the reflect on of the hap. piness she had conferred upon them.

I intend to go as far as Paris, though I mar possibly stop at Nanterre, because! fear that the step I proposed to take might be unavailing, as I am not acquainted with any one in the direction." What direction ? have you any business to transact with any chief directors ?•' m M y business relates to our hospital, which is in great wart of everything at this moment. 1 have heard our phy. sicians say that English linens had been sr izeJ, and Oat they were to be distributed amongst the agil.tary hospi tals by the order of M.

" Well, then, you may rely upon it that I will •instantly attend to your wishes, and to the wants of the hospital." The religious proceeded on her way, penetrated with gratitude towards the amiable unknown who had just shown her so much kindness; she had scarcely walked on a few steps when she reproached lier•elf with having failed to inquire her name; she turned back, Sam Jose phine, who had rem loci at the window of the pavilion, and was looking der her Pardon.

" Certainly not, Madame; we hive long been aware that y. u do not with your generosity to be made known.

(ADRIDGED FROM Titlt cfccsiwALL ROYAL GAzi4Tre4 Although the wise of this Meeting was only first published in our GAzettd of Saturday last. )et it was attended by between five and six hundred i f the Free• hulders, Margistrates, and principal Merchants and Tradesmen of this town and its neighbourhood. W nbieived that the whole of the Clergy for many miles round wete present, with, we believe, only two escep ti.ns, but they seemed desrrt•us of meeting the unuorttry charge of interested Activity made Against them on such occasions, by not Addietsing the Meeting. The Chair was taken by the MAY44I At twelte "'clock, who opened the business of the day by ;ea.li.•g the Requi,ition. _ _ Ur. BUDD (Editor of the West &hoot) then rose and comp) tined that there had not been sufficient notice of the Meeting ;•and he appealed to the chairman an d t o the Noble - Lord psesent (Etrl Falmouth) whether for thee: reasons the Meeting ought not in fairness to be adj-tu , ned. The Earl of FALMOUTU then rose and said—That having been thus appealed to, he must declare that, so tar as he was concerned, no influence had, been used to prevent the fullest attendance; that on that occasion his desire had been to appear there as a simple indiwidual ; that although his opinions on the Catholic Questions must be well known, he had no wish that any mani festation of feeling should go forth to the public, *hid) was not the real feeling of the neighbourhood. The Noble Lord added, that he would not still object to the question of adjournment being put. The CUAIRUAW put the question, and but four or five bands being held up for the adjournment, the busi• nes: proceeded. C. CA atmoN,Esq. the Petition to both Houses of Parliament against the Catholic Claims. The Earl of FALMOUTH seconded the motion. The Noble Lord said his friends and brother Cotnishmen knew that it was not by any influence they were as, sembled, except by the influence of that strong feeling which as one uf them he came to express. They were brought together by their duty towards themselves and their families, and by their a,tacbment to a Constitua tion which secured to them the many blessings they enjoyed. He lamented as much as any maa the dis turbed state of Ireland; but he could not, as the Peti tion said, disregard the lessons of all history and expo. rime, arid they should not be blind to that which this very evil laid open to us. It proved what the gOPHAM Catholic Priesthood could do even with fettered hoods;
