There is no confirmation in the City of the important intelligence contained in our extracts from the Paris Papers, which arrived this morning, and which we have subjoined, stating that the embargo, laid on all European vessels at Csnstantinnple, had been raked ; that the Allied Ambassadors were still these on the 23d alt. with everyprrispect of Winging the differences with the Porte to a happy termination. However. the intelligence is generally believed in the City ; and we have to add, that the principal hooter in the Turkey trade look upon it as trubtwort.hy. PROM fili GAZZTIrt DI FRANC,. PARIS, Dec. 14. The German Journals and our owWwlwrespondenee tocull us with the following news on the affairs of the first: I , VIENNA, Die. I. " Wetave not received any news from Constantinople rime those of the 11th. As the communications are in terrupted, and as the Porte permits only the departure of the Austrian mail according to treaties, all the re ports in circulation deserve no credit ; besides, it is con chided that as M. d'Ottenfels has not sent any extraoi• dinary courier the negoeiations still continue. " ft is said that Don Miguel will depart to-mor row evening. FRANKFORT, DIG. 10. We received yesterday by Express accounts from Voenna, dated the 6th inst. which coi.firos the U l ises of the preservation of peace. " It is slid that the D:van, urged by the representa tions of M. d'Ottenfels, and becoming more and more sensible that the Porte is unable to resist the united forces of Russia, England, aed France, has shown itself More accessible to the counsels of the Austrian Inter- Ignacio, and the letters frosts Vienna give reason to be lieve that with the first news we shall learn the accept ance of the intervention of the Alliesin the affairs of Greece by the Poem This frAvosublo appearances of things has had a good effect on our -fund" Our Metal Spies have risen to-day to 90f." The Moniieur of Friday has a letter from Trieste of November 29, which states that cfScial intelligence bad been received there of the capitni,ition of the fortress of Scio to Fabvier and Lord Cochrane. PARIS, Doc. 15, QUARTER TO FOUR ♦. M. , We learn by a letter from Vienna of the Bth that one of the principal banking-houses of that city bad teceired from Odessa thii following news : , f On the 27th of November a merchantman, which arrived in four days from Con tantinople, had announ ced that the embargo had been taken off all vessels, and that every line was at liberty to proceed to its des tination ; that one 2sd the Ambassidars of the three Courts, parties to the Treaty of London, bad had a conference with the Reis Effendi ; that the result of it was unknown, but that every thing teemed to announce a disposition to peace in the Divan." We learn by the same letters that the Infant Don Miguel quitted Vienna on the 6th. The Augsburg Gazeite. received by express, contains thf following letter : 4 " BUCHAREST, Nov. 26. " The Seraskier of Silistria has received the Tartars dabs Sultan, with letters and &mans from the Grand aligner.- The capital was tranquil on the 20th of No eawber, and the negociations continued with the Au:- /ROM Till KOWITEUR SIENNA, Dic. 3. We have not yet received any news from nople, and this circumstance appears to us the mor favourable, as it contradicts the report of the departure of the Ambassadors. they hid not deflarted , on the 20th of November, because dispatches of that date have been received at our Foreign Office. LTIIRDAY. Our accounts from Madrid "ire to the 4th instant, atl which date stray reports were current that the French troops were on he point of Oweating Cadiz 'and' Pampeluna, Genetal LONGA bad been created Marquis of Casa LONGA and Grand Commander Of the ader of Charles the Third. He was also to take the cons-, mend in Catalonia. Col. MONTENEGRO bad been ap pointed Commander of Fort Moutjoy, and Colonel TOR RES, of Tarragona. If was further rumoured that the Count ntsesozre was to be Minister of War. In consequence of the great expense caused to the province of Valencia by the KING'S visit, ad ottortordinarylevy of six millions of teals had been made. M. SaLet.t.as and PALAS REGENT, of the Criminal Tribunal of Gre nada. base bees soiled to Valtrcia. M. BALLAITIROS, the Minister of Finance, bad entirely recovered his health,. and resumed the functions ot his office. %1I • have this morning accounts from Barcelona to the 6th inst. On the Si the following Order hid been issued:— " The KING our Lord (a horn Goa protect) has deigned to order that the political Chiefs and others employed, /cc. under the absolute and weak Conssite• tional system, shall quit Barcelona before the arrival ofi his MAJeSTY. In consequence, it is ordered that the political Chiefs, the Deputies, and others employed during the Constituiional regime, do leave this town and repair to their respective provinces, with the excep. tion of the cap tal, of fortified places, br of sea ports:' On the following d.y the Kira and Qum/ made their public entry in a trio•ophant car through the AP sembled population, hut in coosequense of the severe measures adopted since the departure of the French, the people were so completely di,hrartened that the most profound silence reigned during the procession. The Bishop f Barcelona on the 2J summoned all the Clergy of his diocoe to meet him, stating he had a communication of great moment to make to them.— On their repairing to his residence, instead of the pro. mised communication, they were ordered to quit the town in 24 hours, and repair to their different livings, , under pain of arrest. We base recei , edC.is morning advises from Berlin to the sth inst. They state that the Minister for Foreign Affairs had received intelligence that t! e General of the army of Caucasus, alter the t..ksng of, Tautis, had positively signed a treaty of pe ice with Abbas Mtnza, by which Russia rezeirei the contested province, which was.fised as the boundary of the Russian dominions on the side of Persia. It was further said that a note had been transmitted from St. Petersburgh to the Prussian Government, dictated by the Emperor, in which " R ussia reiterates to the Powers of Europe its assurance that it trill not aggrandize its territory, but that "she renews the resolution taken by the Emperor, of following the plan laid down by the allies for the pac:fication of the East." O rr advises from Corfu confirm the intelligence of the Greeks having attacked Erkcea, and state that the force sent against it had occupied the north part, at 0 e foot of Mount Dephos. The Turks, tinder Ostrtt Pacha, which had attempted to stop their progress, had been &lewd near Negropent. It is further said, that the Turks of Scio had capitulated on the 28th Oct. to Cr•lonel FABYIRR and Lord COCHRANE. By the conditions of the cspitt.latiun they a e e transported to Chime, together with their moveable effects. These were reckoned among the wealthiest Turks of the Archipelago. According to accounts from Halifax, N S. the small port and typhus fever hal committed great ravages in tbat town, and the former complaint had extendel its ra vages to Lnnenburg. The numbers that had fallen victinatto those diseases since last spring appears nearly incredible. About f.OO coffins had been delivered from ' the Poor-house—the greater part for persons in poverty, not members of th.st establishment. Numbers of the 'respectable ioliabitants had fallen victims chiefir to the fever. It was suppcsed tEe mortalities amounted to a twentieth part of the populatioc. We have receive] Letters and Papers from Gibraltar to the 27th ult. They hand us some further particulars of the couduct of the Spanish Revenue vessels aga'nst the British traders, by which the most lucrative trade of the place bad been nearly destroyed. The British ships of war baying, since the seizures of Capt. CROFTON of the Dryad, refused to protect the English merchantmen carrying on a contraband trade with S t )ain, the Spanish Guarda Costas scoured the Bay with impunity and had' caused great annoyance. In consequence of this the traders had been compelled to carry on their pursuits under a foreign flag, and even this measure had not en tirely answered the purpose intended. We have advices from Tunis to the 18 - h ult. at which time the intelligence of the battle of Navarin wa, known there, and had caused very great alarm. The tranquillity of the place had not, however, teen an far affected, as to cause any outrage to •a committed on the persons of the Europeans. We have also late ads ces from Alexandria, announcing receipt of the names of ttie desrructioa of the.-. Egyptian 9rt, whit' produceTl the Areatest consternation.

The extraordinary military contribution ordered by the Porte for the fortresses on the Danube, is leviCd by the authorities in the principalities with great indul gence, and it is probable that it never will be wholly raised. Only 500 horses and 1000 sheep have yet been do. livered from this city. In Jassy, we hear, hardly any steps have been taken to begin collecting it.— The bond of union between the Hospodars and, the "Turkish authorities seems to be very lax, and only the vicinity of a division of some Turkish troops, and of several thousand irregulars who are en camped at Tartukay, between Rudschuk and &Hada, and might easily be at our gates in four days, makes it necessary to have some regard to our old relations, but • which would immed.ately cease on any the smallest change in the political situation of the Turkish empire• M.
