They say, that the Pacha, who is shut up in the Citadel of Joan nina, makes the most vigorous resistance to the Otto man troops, and that he may hold out a long time. To the reiterated summons of the Turkish Govern ment he has replied, that he will rather bury himself ' under the ruins of his fortress t han ever surrender.— It even appears, that he has made some sallies, which have occasioned the Turks some loss. VIENNA, OCTOBER 27. The conferences between the Ministers of the great Powers, who are now assembled at Troppau, have already commenced. It is Count Capo d'lstria, and not Count Nesselrode, who is commissioned by .the Emperor Alexander to conduct the negociation in the name of Russia with the other Powers. The two Emperors visit each other frequently. It is ob served that the Prussian Ministers, Prince Harden berg and Count Bernstorff, are highly esteemed by the Russian Emperor, who has likewise given the most friendly reception to the Crown Prince of Prussia. BERLIN, OCTOBER 28. The King has been for some time indisposed with a severe rheumatic attack; it is thought he will not go to Troppau, and that it is for this reason he has sent the Crown Prince, his srmr. NOVEMBER 4.--The Berlin Papers of the 31st of October make no mention of the appearance of the King of Prussia at Troppau. It is affirmed that the Agents of the Police have gone from Vienna to Troppau, to observe all strangers who are not attached to the Ministers, and other per• sons whose functions render their presence necessary ] in that town. The Bureau of Prince Metternich is formed almost in the same manner as at the Congress of Aix-la• Chapelle; Count Mercy and M. de (i entz are charged, as they there were, to keep the Protocol of the Con te' ences. SPANISH PAPERS. MADRID, OCTOBER V. THE CORTES. 'The following are the particulars of the proposals made by the Committees of Finance and of Com merce relative to the prohibition of foreign produce and manufactures, in consequence of the bases 25 and '29 of the general Tariff. Art. 1. The prohibition to import provisions of any kind, whether liquid or dry, which is established by the ancient Tariff, and by Decrees of the Cortes, shall be retained in the general Tariffs, and shall be extended and apply to all such as our own dominions pi oduce, in sufficient quantity for consumption, with out any exception save that which is mentioned in the fourth Article. '2. In the sume manner shall be retained and ex tended in the general Tariff the prohibition to import foreign articles ur manufactures, of which we have national manufactories, and the principal raw ma terials ei:tei ing into the composition of which, are pro duced in our country ,without any exception whatever. 3. In the preceding regulations cattle of all kinds are included, with the ex;:zption in the following Article. 4. In order to reconcile the general interest of the %%hole nation with that of each province in particu lar, the provincial Deputations who may apprehend serious detriment to their respective provinces, from the execution of Articles 1 and 3, may petition for the necess'ary modifications, and on the information of the Government, the Cortes shall determine what is proper. 5. The produce of the East Indies shall be the sub ject of special Decrees of the Cortes, and till they are published, the Royal Ordinances hitherto in force shall be retained. Mr. Freire spoke at lenrh on the detrimental influ ence of this plan upon America. It was supported by Mr. Oliver, and other Members of the Committee. Count de Torreno thought that the adoption of these regulations, instead of producing a great be nefit, would do much mischief, especially consider ing the state of imperfection of our manufactures, which would not improve unless they had some com petition to strive with ; and the monopoly would be highly injurious to many provinces which would be forced to purchase, at a high price, articles which they might have on much easier terms from abroad. Ile voted for sending the Report back to the Committee. Mr. Marteny de la Rosa dwelt on the notorious in justice of prohibitory laws. M. Cuesta thought that experience was not unfa vourable to seasonable and well-considered prohibi tions, and that the example of France and England should have more weight than the theories of their writers, whose spirit and object may be unknown to us. He allowed that the prohibitory system bad some times been carried too far, but maintained the neces sity of adopting it, as the wisest nations have done. The Minister of the Interior judged it to he highly proper that the Committee should take more time to procure the data necessary for the foundation of the general regulations which it was proposed to establish. In the Sitting of the 26th, it was resolved, in con formity with a proposal of the Government, to build 20 ships of war for the protection of commerce, viz. two frigates of 50 guns each, six corvettes of 30 guns, six brigantines of 22 guns, and six sloops of 14 suns. 'Thirteen millions of reals were assigned fur this ob ject exclusively. In the Sitting of the 27th several Articles or.the Projet of Law on the force and organization of tie Standing Army were read and discussed. by the 541 Article the three Swiss Regiments are to be abolished. The Nation will Make good all the injury which, according to existing engagements, the measure will cause. The individuals of those Regiments, who desire to remain in the service of Spain, shall be in corporated with the national troops, with their present rank ; but must take out letters of naturalization.— The regiment of Custa is also abolished.

And a notice has been issued by the LORD MAYOR, announcing that the Mansion House will this night be illuminated—that is, in other words, calling on the Citizens to exhibit all the splendour of which such a scene is susceptible ; so that the shew of this night will exceed anything that has 1 yet been seen on this joyous occasion. Let us en treat our fellow-citizens to be circumspect ; we have still some enemies in the camp, who would gladly avail themselves of any opportunity that may present itself to mar the general hilarity, to turn our joy into mourning, to make use of any pretext to satiate their disappointed malice, no matter who may be the victims. Let the Public never forget with what avidity certain good men—oh, yes! friends of order—exclusively loyal men, at Manchester, seized upon the opportunity afforded them, by the mere assembling of an unarmed multitude, to let loose upon them a savage Yeomanry! Let us never for get that to these very men were given the delibe rate thanks of the very Ministers who either contrived, or lent themselves to the proceedings which sought the destruction of the QUEEN of ENGLAND ! Let it be recollected that patroles of the Horse Guards, armed, were employed throughout the whole of Sa turday in traversing the streets of Westminster— (They were not permitted to enter the City !)—Let these and many other facts which the recollection of the Public will call up, be kept in memory, and the necessity for circumspection will appear manifest.— If any person shew a disposition to riot, or.to break the public peace, let that man be counted one of the "'QUEEN'S enemies—one of our own enemies; let the well-disposed put down and keep down such foul fiends, and deliver them over to the civil power.— No one will say that this advice is unseasonable, who looks at the aspect of some houses which neglected to light up on Friday and Saturday—many of the windows broken, and, in two or three instances, the shop fronts driven in, as at the Offices of the Courier and New Times. However atrocious the con duct of these Newspapers may have been in calum niating her MAJESTY, it is unmanly to attack their property in this manner : so unmanly that we should not be surprised, could the chief Instigators be dis covered, to find that they were connected with the conspirators who have for so many months been oc cupied in contriving and circulating treasonable hand-bills, plots, and mock conspiracies, to involve thoughtless individuals in ruin. Beware of such men. But we must proceed to another topic. What are the steps likely to be pursued by Parliament when it shall re-assemble on the 23d instant? Neither Minis ters nor Opposition—neither the Enemies nor the Friends of the QUEEN, can answer this question. It is believed, however, that on that day a Message will go down from the Lords to the . Commons re quiring their attendance at 4)e Bar, when the Session will be closed by a Speech from Commissioners . (as it is not likely that the KING will go down in State to deliver it from the Throne), and the Parliament will be prorogued to the latter end of January or be ginning of February. In the meantime let the good spirit of the good People of England bestir itself, in a proper'and con stitutional manner ; for much remains to be done to consolidate the victory that has been obtained by the Free People and Free Press of England, over a deli berate attempt—and that attempt only a part of a regular system—to contaminate the pure stream of the administration of Justice—to undermine our Li berties and Constitution. Never were any set of men so completely deserted by the People as the present Ministers; and never more deservedly. From one end of the country to the other their conduct has been viewed by almost all classes with abhorrence. To say they are unpopular, gives a very inade quate idea of the feeling entertained towards them. It is a compound of contempt and detestation ; con tempt for their folly in supposing that the People of England would be the dupe of their hollow and hy pocritical pretensions to a regard for the purity of morals; and detestation at the nefariousness of the means which have been resorted to, for the purpose of destroying the QUUN. No, thank GOD 1 Eng. land is - nnt.yet the proper soil for conspirviee. Eng- litho= are too strait forward in their Slits to have any relish for such refinements. • Had Lord Poor. :hewn more deference 'to the good common sense of Englishmen, than to the embodied folly bf the OurraDAS, the BROWNS, the STIWARTS, and the MIINSTERSI he would not now start and tremble whenever an old woman happens to cross his path. . But, as we have said, the good sense of the country has yet much to achieve. It has, by its powerful energies, put of, for at least twenty years, the reign of a military despotism—to which, in our opinion, and that of all deep-thinking men, everything was point ing in this country. And is this a trifle to have gained ? In the present age of the world, to put off such an evil, even for such a nominally short period, is to put it off for evert for two powers are now moving in opposite directions—and both of them with an accelerated and accelerating velocity.— Formerly Despotism was ascending : it has new passed the summit, and is precipitating, with increas ing bounds, to the gulph which will bury it for ever. But will the monster retire without some writhing— ' without some attempts to recover, by emplo)ing violent remedies—without some dead throes? No, he will not, unless prevented by the good sense aid more proper prescription of the public will, that he submit himself to the constitutional regimen of the laws. There must be no more ex post facto enactments— no more Bills of Pains and Penalties—no more il legal quackery and anomalous proceedings ! The' good sense of England has willed this; and we take upon us to say that, notwithstanding all the vaunt ing and boasting of certain Learned, and Noble, and Reverend individuals, before they were taught their own weakness, there is not one among them pos sessed of nerve sufficient to embolden them to make such another attempt as we have witnessed. Public journalists have high and important duties to perform ; and we have never been backward to discharge our trust with fidelity. We have ever been the friends of older and good government ; for, without this blessing, what would mankind become ? but we have uniformly opposed every attempt to sub vert the liberties of our country, and the violation of public law. We have never—no, never—lent our selves to party, whether in or out of power ; but have ever applied our best abilities to judge measures and not men. And on all occasions, as far as we could make our feeble voice heard, we have made it to be heard in defence of privileges which were se cured to us by the energies and best blood of our fore fathers, and which ought not to be lightly estimated. We will not speak of former trying occasions, but on the one which has had so glorious an issue, we may be proud in stating that we were the first to call upon the country to give courage to a persecuted Quest:, by Addresses of Condolence. How well this call has been seconded by the Free Press, and by the incorruptible love of justice which animates every honest English bosom, we need not say. We were also the first—when the obstinacy of Ministers gave such strong demonstration of an intention to force the abominable, but now deceased Bill through the Lords, and to send it to the Commons—to call upon the country to prepare Petitions to the House of Com mons never to suffer such a detestable Bill to pollute their table. This reasonable call has been hailed by instant exertion, not only throughout London, but the entire kingdom. Our accounts from the different Counties, Cities, and Towns, of Requisitions to that effect, are so numerous that we cannot find room even to mention them, but this is now rendered un necessary, by the happy turn that affairs have taken. We intended this day to call upon the Public to address both his MAJESTY and the QUEEN, on the acquittal of her MAJESTY; but in this the general voice of the country has outstript the Press and the Mail. A Requisition is now in•cburse of signature for a Meeting of the Common Council of London, to address his 'MAJESTY on the triumph of his QUEEN over the machinations of the real enemies of his Throne and Family. The QUEEN will also be ad dressed on her victory over the vilest plot that was ever engendered against innocence—not excepting even the proceedings which brought the Queen of FRANCE to the block. Throughout the different Wards in the City, simi lar Addresses are in preparation ; and the Mails of this morning inform us, that in several of the places where Petitions were preparing for the House of Commons, they will be converted into Addresses to their MAJESTIES. Saturday morning her MAJESTY rose early, with renewed spirits, and during the day received nu merous distinguished visitors, who called to congra tulate her en the happy issue of her trial On her MAJESTY'S return to Brandenhurgh House on Friday she found there several Italian Ladies, No blemen, and Gentlemen, who had the same afternoon arrived in this country, to gtve evidence in her favour in the House of Commons, if (as was expected) the Bill should have been sent down to that House. They had the honour of dining with her MAJESTY, and also Mr. Alderman WOOD, Countess OLDI Colonel Ou- VISIiA and his Lady, and a number Of others of her MAJESTY'S friends, and the evening was spent with the greatest delight and satisfaction. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday, at two o'clock. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE at tended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal, in the King's Palace, St. James's. RECEPTION OF THE GL AD TIDINGS. WINDSOR, Nov. 12.--Friday night, in consequence Of intelligence being brought that the Bill of Pains and Penalties was thrown out of the Housed Lords, the bells of the several Parishes of this town rung— s ile concourse of people, with music and torches, paraded the town till a late hour, letting off fire works, pistols, &c. Several of the inhabitants also illuminated their houses with lamps and candles. WaTioan.—Friday evening, the inhabitants of Watford, after learning the decision of the Peers on the Bill of Pains and Penalties, waited on the Earl .of Essmut Cashiobury, to testify their approbation of his exertions in the cause of her MAJESTY, and to congratulate him on the final result of the late most unexampled proceeding. His Lordship received them with his accustomed affability and kindness, and ex pressed his thanks in a neat and appropriate speech. In the evening the town was illuminated. SOUTHAMPTON, NOVEMBER 11.—This morning, on the arrival of the news that the Bill of Pains and Pe nalties had been withdrawn, the inhabitants of this town expressed their joyful feelings on the occasion. The colours were hoisted at the different Churches, and on board the ships in the River. l'he bells have been ringing the whole of the day ; a number of flags are exhibited from the windows of different house , , and a vast number of people, particularly female, paraded the town, decorated with white ribbons.— The market-house will be illuminated this evening, exclusive of a partial illumination at several houses, and it is expected that on Monday a general illumi nation will take place. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 11.—The rews of the fate cf the Bill of Pains and, Penalties against her Majesr; - the QUEEN, was received at Portsmouth and Portse.i in the most joyful manner. The bells of St. Tho mas's Church have been ringing nearly the whole of the day; flags are displayed on the. Church, and it various other places; white favours appear in all di rections; and a splendid illumination is expected to take place either this evening or on Monday. WINCHESTER, Nov. 11.—This day, the hells of several churches here rang merry peals, at intervals. in honour of the result of the investigation into her MAJESTY'S conduct. Similar demonstrations of joy took place at Farnham, Alton, Alresford, Romsey, and Newbury. MALTON.—A pretty accurate estimate may be formed of the state of public opinion at. Mahon, on the Bill of Pains and Penalties, when we state, that, im mediately on the decisiOn for the second reading of that obnoxious Bill being known there, the parish bells were muffled, and mournful peals were toiled or rung in unison with the general feeling of the People. Yesterday, his MAJESTY, accompanied by Colonel Seymoua, the Equerry in Waiting, attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal, in his Palace, St. James's. On the KING'S return, the Mall in St. James's Park was lined with spectators genteelly dressed ; the Gentlemen took off their hats, and made their obei sance, in which the Ladies also joined. His MA. JESTY sat forward in his carriage, and rode with his hat off, acknowledging the dutiful obeisance,of his subjects. Yesterday, the Duke of YORK visited the KING, at his Palace in Pall-Mall. Saturday his Royal High ness transacted miLtary business with his MAJESTY. Saturday morning the Duke of GLOUCESTER left town on a vi. it to the Earl of C -RAVEN, at his seat, near Coventry. The Princess AUGUSTA, accompanied by the Du chess of GLOUCESTER, left town on Saturday after noon, about two o'clock, for Frogmore. The Earl of Lostsrate is much indisposed at his house, in Charles-street, Berkeley-square. It is anticipated that a Royal Palace will be in-.- nsediately assigned for her MAJESTY'S residence. A Theatrical Performer of ranch celebrity is to accompany Mr. LEVINGSTON in his ascent with the Balloon exhibiting at the Saloon of the English Opera-House. A letter received at Portsmouth, from the Squa dron under Vice-Admiral Sir GRAHAM MOORE, Stan that the ships are to continue in Naples Bay nitil the decision of the Allied Sovereigns to be declared in Congress at Troppau, as to the future political con dition of Naples, is made known. The Paris Papers of Thursday have arrived since our last. The Duchess de BRIM has goneto Vincennes. Sir J. CRAUFURD, after having for a long time, but in vain, denied the competency of the Tribunal of Correctional Police to decide upon the complaint of defamation brought against him by the Dukes de GRAMMONT and GUICHE, has suffered judgment to go against him by default, and has been sentenced to six months imprisonment, and a fine of 2000 francs. He is allowed five days to appeal against this sentence. The elections of Members to serve inthe Chamber of Deputies is going on briskly thioughout the De partments. An article from Vienna, of the 27th ultimo, says, that the Emperor of AUSTRIA had 'not been able to quit his apartments at Troppau, since the arrival of the Emperor of RUSSIA. The King of PRUSSIA was expected to .visit Vienna after the conferences at Troppau should be ended. Accounts from Naples say, that up to the 24th ult. the new expedition against Sicily had not been able to sail on account of contrary winds. The ship of the line, Capri, had arrived from Palermo, with much arms and ammunition, taken from the Sicilian Insurgents. The famous monk, P. VAGLICHIA, who was Colonel in the Insurgent troops of Palermo, iti it is said, to be sent to Rome, where he is to be sub jected to rigorous monastic discipline in a convent. The Parliament of Naples is still occupied with the Finances of the Kingdom, particularly the deficit in the Revenue, which may be somewhat difficult for them to make good.. The Report of the Committee appointed to draw up the informations against the late VICEROY of SICILY, NASELLI, and General CHURCH, has reported to the Parliament ; but the discussion was postponed until the Report could be printed and distributed among the Members. proposition of the Deputy POERIS was approved of, namely, that each Member of the Parliament should make a donation of 100 ducats to the necessities of the State. Several other methods were proposedbu e w for making good the deficiencies in the Revenue, t doubt whether they will be found ultimately efficacious. The French 5 per Cents. are still rising.
