The FienchtPapers of Tuesday have come to hand. An article from Vienna states that Congress is not likely to sit so long as was expected, and that Notes drawn up in concert on the part of France, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, relative to the modifications to be made in the Spanish Constitution, have been transmitted to Madrid, but that the Spanish Govern ment has returned no satisfactory answers to these communications. The Monitcur and Gazette de France contain long details relative to the affairs of Spain, which are col lected from the Diario d' Urge!, and the papers of the South of France faiourable to the insurgents. The following account of the death of General TORRIJOS is given in the [lre Gazette c,f the 25th of October " Don Mirales, commanding the 3d division, has informed the Regency, that on the 16th, a shell from Castelfollit severely wounded Bi igadier Ton ijos, who was conveyed to Cervera, anal, according to report, died there ; that the enemy, who attempted to take the fort by assault and escalade, was repulsed with considerable loss; that on the 22d, a piece of artillery, of large calibre, which the enemy had established on their works at Cap-Xic, close to Castelfollit, fell down, and could not be get up again to the top of the height, in consequence of its great size, and the heavy fire from the garrison. The same Officer an- nounces, that on the 20th the people of Cardona loudly demanded provisions, which the militia at first opposed, but it was at last resolved to take ten loads from the fort, to be distributed among the people." The people of the district of Logrono are stated to bate risen in mass to avenge the assassination perpe trated by the Royalists on the 150 prisoners taken at Dicastillo, the greater part of whom belonged to the active militia of Logrono.—" The war between the • Greeks and the Turki," says an article from Bay onne, in the Moniteur, -" who are the most barbarous people of Europe, will not give birth to crimes so horrible as those which we are about to witness in this lamentable coptest." Baron d'Eßotzs announces to the -Regency, that the enemy has lost in killed and wounded from 500 to 600 men since lie had been on the line. The Moniteur quotes the Journal de Toulouse for the following statement : 4 , An estafette, which has passed through this city from Madrid, informs us that the Portuguese Cheva lier, MosuurrA, decorated with several Orders, left - Madrid secretly on the.l6th, and arrived at Vittoria int the evening of the 24th. This personage, who was understood to be proceeding on a mission of great importance for the anti-constitutional party,' was closely watched by the Communeros. After taking a few moments repose at Vittoria, he went to the Theatre, accompanied by a merchant of Bayonne. On their coming out, three assassins desired the merchant with much earnestness, and even with threats, to with draw, and immediately stabbed with. poniards the Baron Mosuurro, who in a few minutes expired. The • Magistrates afterwards searched his lodgings, and found some very important papers, as well as bills for considerable sums. &Lady who travelled with this unfortunate man from Madrid, and who has since arrived at Bayonne, relates that he did not get into the coach until it had gone three-quarters of a league • from Madrid, and that he had, during the whole journey, an air of great. uneasiness." Letters from Batavia, of the 11th July, state that the place is very sickly, and that all the crops have failed, which has caused a famine.

Wedn,esday, was received at a late hour this fore noon. The following are extracts : PETERS BU RG 11. OCTOBER iG. We expect the return of the EMPEROR at the end of December, or the beginning of the new year. M. ROTSCHILD, Consul• General of Austria, has recently left our city. STOCKHOLM, OCTOBEIt is. It is said that our Ambassador at Paris is recalled, Owing to his being appointed to some other situation. MADRID, OCTOBER 25. Otifrevolutionary journals have speculated for se veral days to persuade the Public that a Treaty exists between Spain and Portugal; that the latter were to send 18,000 infantry. and 2,000 cavalry to the fron tiers of France. We have certain accounts that the above Treaty does not exist. The Conde Castro Torreno is arrived, under an escort, from Valencia. The Mareschal de Camp (Heron), a Frenchman, in the service of Spain, who commanded one of the regi ments of Guards, has been sent to prison. It is assured that the same fate is reserved for the Duke l'lnfantado and Marquis Amarillas, and a great number of others. An extraordinary courier arrived yesterday from Vienna, with dispatches for our Government. It is reported they are favourable to the cause of the Descamisados. The French Funds on Wednesday closed at 92f.50c. Extract of a private letter from Paris, dated the 6th November :—" Four couriers have arrived from England, bringing an account of the depression of your foreign funds, which has had the effect of lower ing our market. We have aM. Overdon here who has come for the purpose of contracting for a Loan of twenty millions of rentes for the Spanish loyalists." Private accounts from France state that the Duke D'ANcomemz will take the command of the Army of Observation, assisted by the military experience of Marshal MACDONALD, the Duke of Tarentum. This Marshal, when recently reviewing three battalions of the Royal Guard, and after praising them for the precision of their manoeuvres, is reported to have concluded by saying—" I am so well pleased with all three of these battalions, that I know not which I •~-: shall choose to take with me into Spain." This forenoon we received a Dutch and a Flanders Mail, with Papers to the 6th instant. The Austrian Observer of the 25th, 23th, and 27th of October, con tains no accounts from Greece and Turkey. An arti cle from Vienna of the 22d ult. repeats the rumour, that the EMPEROR might be expected to return to his capital sooner than was expected, and that the affairs which were to be the subject of deliberation at the Congress at Verona, will be arranged at Vienna, by the Ministers now assembled in Italy. The accounts from Verona, though not of so late a date as those re ceived direct from that city, are interesting as to the speculations they give on the affairs of Congress, and the extreme jealousy and fears of the Members of the Holy Alliance, who have marked out the streets of Verona in which travellers shall not reside, or even pass through.—The following are extracts: . - EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM VERONA, DATED OCT. 21 " It is still affirmed thit everything is regulated relative to Piedmont, and that the Austrian troops will very shortly evacuate that country and retire into the Milanese. His Majesty the King of Sardi nia is said to have conferred great honours on Field Marshal Count Bubna, Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian Corps of Occupation. With respect to Naples, it is said that nothing is finally settled, and it seems more doubtful than ever that that kingdom will be soon evacuated. We have, it is true, nothing but reports on this subject, but they have acquired a certain degree of credit. Various proposals are said to have been made for the purpose of relieving Naples from the burden of the foreign troops; and that one was, to leave in that kingdom, for a certain limited time, only 20,000 ,Austrian troops, who would have been distributed in the fortresses of Gaeta, Salerno, Pescara, and Galli poli. It is added, that some statesmen have thought this measure not sufficient to maintain tranquillity in the kingdom of Naples—the seat of the Carbonari not being in their opinion yet sufficiently put down. " The Police continues to exercise the strictest vigilance with respect to all strangers who arrive ; those who cannot prove that they belong to one of the foreign Ministers, are a sent away immediately.— Indeed, the Magistrates in the whole kingdom are enjoined to be extremely careful with respect to tra vellers, and several.places are named which they are not permitted to reside in, or even to pass through." BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER 4. We have the satisfaction to state, that Professor Reincuard safely arrived last Thursday in the Nieuve Diep. The Elizabeth, on board which vessel he per formed the voyage from Batavia, sailed from that port on the 20th of June. We learn that he has brought with him a rich collection of Indian plants, and a great number of articles for the Museum of Natural History. • Vivois, Orr. 2L—Metalliques, 86 5-8; Bank Shares, 941.

Bayonne Papers to the Ist inst. state, that the Spa nish refugees have teceived orders to withdraw from that'dw 'into the interior of prance, and that the - fotie and influence of , the insurgents are on the in crease in the norther t n. Provinces of Spain. The de lay of two Mails froth Spairirehad given rise to various rumours, by no means favourable to the Constitu tional cause in the three Provinces. It was reported that QUEBA . DA, after having taken Tama, had even marched towards 13ilboa, the inhabitants of which were in a state of great alarm, and it was feared that he had made himself master of that city. The ar rival of the Mails, however, dispersed all those fears; QUZSA DA, though appointed by the Junta at Urgel to be Cdmmandant of the three Provinces, independently of the rapid march which he bad just made for Ba laguer, had not been able to give his troops a moment's rest, in consequence of the continual movements of EartNosA,- and of a column from Arragon (not of 3,000 men as has been said) of 1,800, but has con stantly declined codling to an action, flying into the mountains, exhausting his soldiers with fatigue, and consequently the Constitutional troops likewise, who are quite dispirited with the manoeuvres of EsrtNOSA: The General of the Faith was on the 27th, at Estelle; where he wrote to Ecuta., that he,t ould not do any more ; that he knew not whetherhe should go towards Vittoria or Laguiro. The accounts from Navarre still represent that Province as a prey to the horrors of civil war. Letters from Madrid say that General 1%10/um.° had left a letter addressed to the Minister of State at Madrid, in which he declared that he left the king ; dom to avoid the ill-usage and injustice with which he was threatened by an anarchical faction, but that he would never bear arms against his country, and that he would desire to justify himself as soon as he should be in a place of safety. His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE, on Tuesday, according-to annual custom, gave a grand dinner to the whole of his tradespeople, at the Red Lion, Hampton-Court, and allowed them to have the range of Bushy Park, for a couple of days coursing. The Princess AUGUSTA and the Duke of CAM BRIDGE honoured Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, with their presence to dinner, at his residence at Kensington, on Wednesday. _ _ _ The Princess AUGUSTA'S departure is delayed for some days, and she will not leave England till the latter end of next week at the soonest. She takes the principal part of her establishment with her, and is not expected in England again till the ensuing spring. Previous to her departure she will visit his MAJESTY at Brighton. The house lately occupied by Mr. CAL vim., Secretary to the Lord Chamberlain, in the Stable-yard, St. James's, is to be fitted Up for her re sidence against her return. In consequence of this change, it is said that his MAJESTY intends residing at Buckingham Palace. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE will certainly accompany his Royal sister to Hanover. Yesterday the Princess AUGUSTA honoured Lady CREMORNE with a visit. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER returned to Bagshot On Monday evening. Intelligence from Zante informs ns that the Turks have at length avowed their determination to exter minate the Greeks! A Firman of the Grand Seignor had been addressed to the Pacha of Lepanto, com manding him to put every Christian to death who should ask quarter, prohibiting Christian captives from being sold as slaves, and ordering them to be destroyed ! " The days of favour for the im pious race of the Nazarenes being passed, never again to be revived, the only One GOD and his Prophet have ordered it thns at present and for the future !" The first effect of this order was. the inhu man butchery of a great number of Christian families detained in the Castle of Lepanto. Crrouascuto also has murdered four Greek Archbishops, because ODYSSEUS would not suffer them to piss into the Morea,' whither they bad been ordered to proceed by the Paella, for the purpose of persuading the population to submit to the Porte! How long are these inhuman atrocities to be tolerated by the Christian Govern ments of Europe ? When will they awaken the Chris tian people of England, to a just sense of what is due from them in the outraged cause of religion and humanity Letters have been received from Pernambuco to the 26th of September. The deposing of the old Junta has been mentioned. A new provisional Go vernment has been appointed ; as follows :—Alfbnso de Albuquerque, President ; Jose Marianno Albu querque, Secretary ; Francisco di Paulo Cavalcante de Albuquerque; Joao Nepomeceno Carneiro da Cunha ; Lieutenant-Colonel Manoel Ignacio ; Fran cisco de Paulo Gomes dos Santos, head of the late Junta'of Goyanna. Francisco Paes Baceta de Po dozo is appointed Military Governor. Gervazio, the President of the former Junta, had sailed in the English packet, supposed for Rio de Janeiro,— Three other Members of the old Junta had been ar rested, together with thirty private individuals, all of whom, it was expected, would also be sent to Rio, Pernambuco was perfectly tranquil when the account came away. A proclamation has been issued by Ge neral Labatat, Commander-in-Chief of the troops of Bahia, in which he assures the Bahiaas that every care and vigilance will be employed to protect their persons and property, and that no one will be trou bled is future, whatever may have been his political opinions or manner of thinking. Loa° MAYOR'S DAY.—We understand that the procession on the ensuing Lord Mayor's Day Will lose little of its splendour - from, the absence of the military, as the LORD MAYOR elect and Sheriffs have given orders to the person who superintends it, to supply their places by a number of men to be dressed in old English military costu me , mounted on.chargers. These will form - the guard to the men in armour, and the cavakade.
