. .% FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, DECEMBER 13. The King yesterday held a Council of Ministers, at which all of them were present, with the exception of the Marquis de Latour Maubourg, the Minister of War, who is still indisposed. Atter the Council his Majesty transacted business with the Duke de, Richelieu. A report has been circulated, says the Joatitel de Toulouse, that the English have seized up on Ceuta,, a Spanish possession in Africa; but it requires con firmation. Letters from Bayonne, of the 6th inst. state, on the authority of commercial letters, that a great fermen tation prevailed at Madrid. Very alarming reports were circulated at Bayonne respecting the Royal Family.—Gazette de Fretice. The last accounts from Zante, of the 6th Novem ber, state, that since the taking of Tripoliza, the affairs of the Greeks in the Morea had assumed a more fa vourable aspect. The whole Tut kish population of the PelOponnesus, amounting to about 40,000, were muftis:rated at Coron, Madon, Corinth, Faupli, and 'patios. Youssouf Facha, abandoned by the Alba nian Turks, had retired into the Ca.tle of Lepanto' -The departure of the Ottoman fleet, which it appears bad returned to the Bosphorus, after having burnt and captured the Greek vessels off Galaxidi, and which had not even attempted to menace Idra, has given great confidence to the Greeks, who attribute this step to the weakness of the Ottoman Govern-. mem. The fortress of Larta was still besieged by the Greeks, and vigorously defended , but a scarcity of provisions would, it was supposed, prevent its hold ing out much longer. The three Pachas, Ismael of Janina, Hassan, and Ismael Pliassa, had made a sot tie at the head of 3,500 men, for the purpose of attempt ing to revictual the place, but they were repulse) by the besiegers. The Suliote' and the Tozides inter cepted all comnsunicationbetween Larta and /Mina. Epirus, at the present moment, ;resents the scene of the union of the Greeks, Albanians, and Mahomet ans, hitherto enemies to each other, but now united to excel from the country the allay of the Grand Seignaor.—thid.

Letters from Hamburgh speak of a communication made by a great Northern Power to the Courts of Copenhagen and Stockholm, having for its object to form a maritime confederation of the three Powers. SMYRNA; OCTOBER 90. The Spetatear Oriental contains a Copy ti a Note presented to the Sublime Porte by the Viscount de Viella, French Charge d'Affaires at Constantinople, dated the 16th August, in which, after noticing the outrages committed against the Greeks, and recom mending the punishment of the persons guilty of them, it states the receipt of the firman for the protection of the Greek subjects who remained faithful, and of those who, having ceased to be so, had returned to' their duty ; it then proceeds— " He remarks with satisfaction this act of moderation and justice, earnestly desires that.it should be followed by a meows. of getaralclumency,which, /sibs a term fur repentance, should tend to encourage it. The oubtime Porte woula thus suppress the spin of rebellion more powerfully than by force of arms. It would turn again the ht:..rts 11 all its subjects, and it would serve its cause and that of humanity by in: u:g stop to the effusion ef blood, and making it appear to a.e e)..) ut all Europe by a generous pardon, that its conduct is contormsble to its language. The Court of France also recomint flu. ro the under signed to call the most serious attention of the Sublime Porte to • its conduct towards the Russian Alinister ' and to the conse quences of attempts which might result to the sacred rights of foreign Ministers, if those of that Minister are not respected." The Note of the Sublime Porte, in answer to the above, dated September 2d, 1821, after some intro ductory matter, thus proceeds: " AU the measures carried into execution by the Sublime Pure since the revolt of its Rajas, have had for their object to avoid any suspicion of their being meant to interrupt the friendly relations with other Powers, particularly Russia, its friend and sideshow. All its thoughts have been solely directed to the approaching trouble and disorder, and the restoration of repose anti tranquillity ; and as the course adopted by the Sublime Porte, particularly in the chastisement of the rebels, has been narked by that moderation and justice which have always dis guished it, such conduct ought to dissipate every kind of doubt and suspicion abroad, as it is certain that in this respect no per. soar can with reason address to it the least reproach. After referring to the Notes transmitted to Russia, copies of which were seat confidentially to the French Char tf Ail:tires, the answer proceeds: « The only object, the only desire, past, present, and future, of the Poste, is the order of its States, and the tranquillity of its subjects. Wherever the Itajas are in open revolt, they will be, easaforambly to the law, exensplaryy punished ; those, on the con trary, why remain faithful to their honour and duty, or who do not manifest any evil disposition, or eves those who, after having tweaked. repent, and sue for pardon, wiU be as heretofore pro tected and defended. Such are the principles which regulate the conduct of the SubEnte Porte, and which have dictated the orders and insuuctions issued to its agents. The promulgation which has bons made informs all its States that all the measures which have been adopted rest upon this basis alone. " As to the regard and respect which have been constantly paid to the Court of Russia, as well as the proceedings fuU of moderation which were observed towards the Baron de Stroga noff, the Envoy of that Power, the whole world . knows them." VIENNA, DECEMBER 1. Letters from Constantinople fully confirm the suc cesses of the Persians, and their march towards the Euphrates and the Tigris. They also state the arrival of the Ottoman fleet an the Dardanelles, joined by the squadrons of the Dey of Algiers and the Pacha 4;4 1 Egypt- CORFU. NOVEMBER so. The Lord High Commissioner embarked with his suite on the Sd inst. in the brig Chanticleer, Captain Eden, to visit some of the Southern Islands. BANKS OF THE VISTULA, NOVEMBER 20. The invasion of the Persians appears to be part of a general plan of attack against the Porte. It is be lieved that the Wechabites will recommence their movements, and thus the Turkish Government will be attacked at once on all sides. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, DECEMBER 9. Commercial letters from Odessa state, that the Russian Cabinet had, by a further Note transmitted to Constantinople, insisted more strongly than ever on the Porte accepting all the propositions previously made to it in the name of the Emperor Alexander. The northern part of Albania, which had hitherto .been tranquil, is now the theatre of a serious insur rection, which has chid) , broken out at Durum/ and Croja. LONDON. MONDAY, DECEMBER 17. 1821.

Our Paper of this day presents a large mass of foreign intelligence, bringing news from France so recent as Saturday last, and from Madrid up to the Bth instant. The most important circumstance is the change in the French Ministry, an event which we foresaw must soon take place, notwithstanding the declaration of M. de Seam, that losing the confidence of the Chamber of Deputies was not sufficient reason to induce a change in Administration. What elect this change may have on the foreign or domestic policy of France, remains to be seen ; but as it may be expected that the new Ministers will so far profit by the example of their predecessors as to avoid quarrelling with the Chamber of Deputies, and may be anxious to do something to conciliate the different parties into which France is divided, it is reasonable to hope that at least the Law which demands the re newal of the Censorship will be withdrawn. An attempt, it would appear, was made to place M. de BLACAS at the head of the French Ministry ; that M. de BLACAS who presided over the domestic affairs of Lotus XVIII. when in exile in England, and over the Counsels of his MAJESTY on his first restoration, and who, by his blunders, paved the way for BONAPARTS . S return. That M. de Vat.sut, and the other Members of the new Ministry, should refuse to have M. de BLACAS at their head, cannot excite surprise ; all we are astonished at is, that any party should think of proposing him. The Amend, des Debats of Wednesday contains a curious correspondence between the Charge d'Affaires of France and the Sublime Porte, which goes to justify the suspicion: of the Chamber of Deputies in their address to the 'Km:, that the foreign policy of France had not been consistentwith her dignity. It seems apropos enough that these documents should be copied by the French journals, and put into circulation so soon after the attack upon the supposed policy of the Cabinet, in respec t of these very transactions in the east of Europe. An abstract of this correspondence will be seen in another part of our Paper. It is very evident that the French Minister, in this affair wasinotwithstand . mg his professions, less anxious to give ftierittily ad vice to the Porte than to promote the views of Russia. He places all the onus of the dispute on the Porte, whilst he most studiously abstains from noticing, di rectly or indirectly, the dictatory and menacing tone of Russia. The Note of M. de VI ELLA is, in fact, a complete echo of sonic of the demands attributed to the Court of Russia upon the Sublime Porte ; and condemns, in plain terms, first the inadequacy, and next the insincerity of the measutes which she has adopted. The answer of the Porte is a direct nega tive of the truth of every charge of persecution ; and an indirect, though quite as intelligible, refusal, to afford any of the pledges of future forbearance which have been required. If we are to trust advices from the Vistula, Russia has given a new proof of the fallacy of all her as sertions of sincerity and love of peace, in having ex cited the invasion of the Persians, which we are told is connected with a general plan of attack which has been formed against the Porte, and arranged with so much skill, that nothing has been overlooked ; and as a key to the actual intentions of Russia, we are told that the English are much alarmed for their Northern Indian Provinces. Turkey then is not sufficient to satisfy the craving appetite of the Imperial Autocrat, but he is already feasting in perspective on our vast possessions in the East. That such are the ulterior views of Russia we doubt not ; the period, however, is at some distance in which she will have any chance of realizing them. By an extraordinary conveyance Madrid Papers and letters to the Bth inst. have been received, which contradict the rumours contained in several of the Paris Journals, of the extreme agitation in the Spa nish capital. On the contrary, it does not appear that the public tranquillity had been in any way disturbed. The misrepresentations in the French Journals re specting the situation of Spain do not pass unnoticed in the Madrid Papers. The Moniteur of the 25d ult. inserted a letter, which, among other unfounded state ments, asserted that there had been a great disturb ance in Madrid on the conclusion of its parochial elections, and that the troops had been ordered to fire. The Universal, in consequence of the existence of the Censorship in France, considers the article alluded to as dictated by the French Ministry, particularly as it had been published in the Moaiteur. The Editor, therefore, calls upon the French Ambassador to say whether the elections had not taken place with the greatest order, and whether there was any employ ment of troops that day, in the manner stated by the Monitcur. A private letter from Madrid, of the 7th instant, states that the Committee of the Cortes was expected to make a Report on the recent events in the Pro vinces on the Bth, or following day. This Report, which was looked for with great anxiety, was ex- pected to be favourable to the Ministry. The result of most of the elections is already known, and our correspondent states that the choice of the people has in a great measure fallen upon men of moderate principles. At a late hour this forenoon we received the Paris Papers of Friday last ; but their contents are gene rally anticipated by later intelligence of every event of interest. These Papers are of course entirely silent as to the change of Ministry, which we are able to announce from the Moniteur of Saturday, received by express: " ROYAL ORDINANCE " Louts, by the grace of Goa, Ste.

" Yesterday evening, after much hesitation on the part of M. Yillele, and a great deal of negociation, the Ministry was finally settled. M.

Lisbon Rapers to the 9th instant have been Rand this forenoon. The following are extracts: LISBON, DECEMBER & In the Cones, yesterday, M. Fat Quetaas red a letter from M. de Mello, at Oporto, stating the a. rival of the Portuguese ship Constitution, from Pr. nanobuco in forty days, with 108 passengers, and a Mail. The Captain states, that he sailed from Pr. nambuce in company with a French brigantine, al board of which was General Luiz do Rigo; that tie latter had given up the Government to a Junta seven Members (named by the Chamber), of wb Gervazio Pires Ferreira was President ; and tbis,is consequence of orders received by a vessel from Oporto ; that great discontent prevailed account of the removal of the General, and die distrust which the Members of the new Junta served, being all implicated in the public ere 1817 ; and, consequently, suspected of being ptim of Independence. He says, that at his deputed( number of persons, both Portuguese and foreigm who had emigrated to different parts, exceeded lid that he understood that many persons were :anti soners to Portugal from Bahia, on board the PM dencia brigantine. The reading of these accounts caused a livdyle cussion, in which some Members spoke with pt bitterness of Luiz do Rigo, amongst whom Mie reira do Silva expressed himself with so much eta mence on the atrocities of Luiz do Rigo, that heel called to order. , It was resolved to wait for further inforani leaving it to the Government, for the present, ton the requisite steps.

On the 7th of this month a grand salute of artillery was heard cowards Tetuan, which continued the whole evening and the Moors being asked the reason, said, that Muley Aabed Selen, nephew of Muley Zeid, had entered Tetuan with a division of infantry of his uncles army, who, with the rest of the army, was at that time at Benyasem. On the 11th, we heard another salute of 22 guns, and we learned that a division of cavalry of Zeid's army having approached, as soon as the inhabitants of Tetuan perceived them, they sa luted them with a discharge of artillery. We have not been able to learn the number of this division, nor st•iv , commands it; but we know that a body of troops.' of all arms, has just been formed, which Zeid places under the clinousaid of his nephew, Muley Aabed Se len. It seems that the 1000 men, with whom Muley So- Miran entered Tangier, have returned to their homes, and that Ali has marched with his troops to the Nest; it is not known fer what purpose. FLANDERS MAIL. BERLIN, NOVEMBER 15. Our readers will recollect that Mr. Hedeman was accused of having formed a conspiracy, tending to overthrow the existing Government. Thoush the pro. ceedings have not yet been made public, it is, how ever. known, that Mr. Hedeman has not, as report has stated, affected mental alienation, to exculpate himself; but that he has, on the contrary, given, with the greatest frankness, all the information that has been asked of him relative to his project, and that he has not %hewn the least regret at having formed it. It is well known that our code assimilates the fact of the publication of a Proclamation, such as that , which M. Hedeman has distributed, to the crime of high treason, for which the law ascigns capital pu• ni4iment; and accordingly it is affirmed, that the Tribunal of the First Instance has condemned M. Hedeman to death. But the accused has still the re source of appeal, and of an application for mercy. BRUSSELS, DECEMBER IL ----------, _ A letter from Constantinople of the 10th Novem ber, which has been received by way of Marseilles, gives a frightful picture of the state of that city.— " We are here surrounded," says the writer, " with I confusion and disorders. The rage of the Turks in crease, daily ; the massacres recommence." A long account, published at Leghorn, of the taking of Tripolizza (translated from the Greek), after de scribing the entrance of the Greeks into the city by escalade, ays, " above 30,000 men penetrate into the streets: they seek—they demand the hostages : they were no more—the holy Archbishops and Bishops had been massacred." At this stews the fury of the Greeks knew no bounds ; 8000 Turks, bearing arms, were pot to the sword ; 12 or 13,000 others, of all ages and both sexes, suffered the same fate. In the coffers of the Vizir, the Beys, &c. eighty millions in specie were found. Above 100 brass cannon were taken, and 20,000 muskets, and a great quantity of ammunition. The martyred Archbishops and Bishops were seven in number; among them we particularly regret those of Monembacia and Amyclea, of which Tripolizza was the See. We have to lament also 600 other hos tages whom the infidels put to death. As for the brave men who • died gloriously in the assault, their number is scarcely 300.
