The eivit4titt44llitarY oaties have been long in op position to each other, and the strongest anintlities have prevailed. It now seems that an affray occurred at a Public Meeting at Villa Real, on the 25th No vember, which was attended with disastrous con sequences. Three persons were killed by the sol diery who fired upon the populace,.and ten or twelve were wounded.' What produced the disturbance 1 , not known, but a detail of the whole business was sent by both sides to Madrid; an what seems a little inconsistent is, that the Civil Authorities who refuse to acknowledge the present Ministry, demand, ne-, vertheless, satisfaction floes the Government. The following is the copy of an Address to the King float theVasions regiments, both men and Offi cers, including the militia as well as the regulars.— It was transmitted to are capital by the bands of the Military Chief c 0 ADDRESS To:+nut xixo.

We are de voted to*the service of your Majesty, and of our country : we look upon you as the Sovereign and Father of the Spanish Na tion—as the Sovereign and Father of the Spanish Armies—and we are resolved ever to preserve our filislobedience. Be assured that the display of a little timely vigour and decision will destroy at once the hopes and energies of your enemies, and ours. (Here follow the signatures of twenty-three superior Meets, subscribing on behalf of themselves and the Regiments to which they belong.)—Dated Segorbe, 18th November. 1821." The Municipal Body of the City of Murcia is divided on the present state of affairs: part are for adhering to the Government, and cart for refusing all obedience to the authority of the present Ministry.— The consequence is, that the place is iu a state of complete anarchy, which will soon be subdued by a considerable military force, which has been sent thither from Alcantara. We hear of several places where the King and his Ministers have been burnt in effigy, and even so near the capital as Almegro, in Ca , tile, and Val de Penas. SOUTH AMLRICA. Extract of a letter from an Officer on the Staff of General D'Evaitaux, dated Caraccas. Septeuthei 20: " Amongst the various measures to which the deliberations of the Sovereign Congress have given rise, the removal of the Vice-President, Narino, was of the greatest importance to the British interest, numberless circumstances having . proved him deci dedly hostile to them. His place is now supplied by Don Pedro Castillo, a man of known talents and un doubted patriotism. It is only an set of justice to General D'Evereuz to add, that, but for the firmness and dignity displayed by him, Narino might still have been exercising his tyrannical sway, to the in jury of the Republic and individuals. As the facts connected with the affair may reach Europe in a mu tilated shape, I beg leave shortly to relate them. " The widow of an English Officer killed during a former campaign, having repaired to Cucuta for dse purpose of claiming some morties due to her late hus band, applied to Narino, by whom she was treated in a manner the most cruel and insulting. Finding that no redress was to be obtained, and that Narino threatened to send her out of the country, she ap pealed to the General, who instantly espoused her cause, and called upon Narino for an explanation of his conduct. This application was answered by Ge neral D'Evereux being placed under close arrest, and confined in a place which had previously served as a barracks. On stating his case to the Congress, the National Representatives took it into immediate consi deration, and discussed the proceedings of Narino, who was in consequence forced to send in his resignation. Dun F. Penalver, the late Minister of the Republic in London, particularly distinguished himself during the debates, and contended that " the Congress could not, without compromising its dignity, accept the resig nation of a man whom they were about and ought to turn oat of office. " Anticipating his disgrace, Narino had made ar rangements for the removal of the General to head quarters, and sent him off under an escort a few days before that event took place. As the injustice of Narino's conduct had preceded the General, he was r e c eived with acclamation and every mark of respect due to his rank, in all the towns through which he passed. To prove how highly the Supreme Chief approved the General's conduct, he ordered General D'Evereux to meet him at Barquesemeto, where his reception was of the most flattering description. Al though your Mend's behaviour throughout this busi ness has greatly increased the friendship of the Li berator towards him, and added wonderfully to his popularity, he has insisted on being allowed to go througk the forms of a Court Martial, in order that no don & may remain on the minds of the Public as to the motives which have actuated his conduct from the commencement of this affair. " Several of our Officers have received valuable appointments, and are all in high favour with the Government. Colonel Young, who distinguished himself so much as Chief of Paez's Staff, has had his rank confirmed, and is named Inspecting Field Officer of all the beautiful %Wiles of Tuy, having seven tOWIIU in his district; he has also got the corn.l mand of the battalion Del Sur ; Boyd is his Major of Brigade. Colonel Hall, author of Travels in Cauada and France, and who is really an honour to his country. is placed at the head of the Engineer and Topographical department. De lieinboldt has got the command of by far the finest regiment, namely, the Tiradorcs. I regret to say we have lost many brave fellows dining the last campaign ; those who remain have been nobly treated by the Supreme Chief." THE: EVEICTINO STAR. LON 4 ON. .

STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'OLOCL This is a Holiday at the Bank, but the Stock Ex change is open. ,The Stock-brokers , assembled on 'Change yesterday, it being a Holiday at the Stock Exchange; a considerable fluctuation was produced: Consols fell to 76 ys, but re:overed to 77 before the close of the market. This morning change was crowded at a n early hour. Consols opened at 77 1 4. A respectable Broker purchased between.two and three millions at that price, which tended to improve the market to 77%. • The French Papers of Sunday and Monday last reached us this morning. The Chamber of Deputies met on Saturday, to hear the Report on the Petitions ititich was presented by M. de SALLARERRIN many of which were of the most trivial nature; aa.l chew bow much the French have to learn respecting the really iMportaitt duties of a Legislative Assembly.— A Lieutenant of Dragoons presented a Petition for the price of two horses which were killed under him in October, 1813. The M INISTIR Of WAR had offered to pay him for one, but this did not satisfy him, and he, therefore, appealed to the Chamber of Deputies. Au Ex• Lieutenant petitioned the Chamber to use its influence in procuring for him the decoration of the Legion of Honour. An Ex-Comptroller of Direct Contributions at Paris, demanded to be reinstated in his office, from which he had been dismissed for de tecting some abums during the financial Ministry of M. Corvetto, in 1815. When these and similar Petitions bad been disposed of, M. B. CONSTANT rose to develope the proposition which he had deposited in the Bureau the preceding day, for preventing Ministers who were Deputies from being on Committees relative to accounts and finance, the duties of which, he contended, were in compatible. He did not impute any but the most pure miitives to the Ministers, but it was their hs. terest that the pecuniary means placed at their di,c posal should be abundant; while, on the contrary, it was the duty of the Chamber to reduce the expenses,', and to vote only for such as were absolutely necessary. The only objection, he conceived, which could be made to his proposition was, the usage of England ; but he would shew that the cases were not analogous, and that the Chamber of Deputies did not in the least resemble the English House of Commons. — After he had spoken at some length in favour of his motion, M. DUDON mounted the Tribune, and said, such a law as that for incapacitating certain Deputies from sitting on Committees, was an inva sion of the rights of Electors ; and that at all events, if the proposition were adopted, it was so important that it should be made the project of a distinct law. He concluded by demanding that the proposition should be rejected. M. Darius rose amidst movements of impatience in the Chamber, and called on the Deputies to enter- I min the motion. On the question being put the Chamber divided, when the majority of two-thirds voted against the proposition being taken into consideration. This decision created much agitation to the left. The Chamber then proceeded to the nomination of two Vice-Presidents, in place of Messrs. Ville. and Corbieres. M. CASIMIR PiRRISR opposed the scrutiny, as the Chamber had not accepted the resignation of those two Members. Considerable confusion followed, and bravos sac , ceeded each other from the right and left, when any of their partisans spoke. A scrutiny was at length taken, when Count dela Bourdonnaye had 143 votes, and Count Chabrol de Crousol had 88; but none of the candidates having the majority required by law, a new election became necessary, which the President proposed ; but the Chamber, by a general voice, de ferred it until Monday. The public sitting was closed at five o'clock, when the Chamber went into a Secret Committee. The reports from Spain in the French Journals are len exaggerated than usual, and are confirmed in some particulars by Papers direct from Madrid.— According to private letters of a recent date from that capital, a strong persuasion existed, in quarters where the best information was attainable, that some of the Ministers at least, on whose weakness and in discretion were charged the disputes in Andalusia, must retire from office. Among the returns of tbe De puties to the Cortes, it happens, singularly enough, that Ritmo has been chosen one of the Members for the Province of Asturias. The other Deputies, one of whom is ARGUELLIS, are firm Constitutionalists. The election of Mao° is justly considered an event of some importance. By taking his seat in the Cortes, he will cease to be the centre of disaffection in the "cnentry, and his influence be diminished to a single vote in that Assembly. The report circulated in Paris, of two Spanish regiments having fought in Andalu• sia, is shewn to have been wholly without foundation. If the intelligence respecting Turkey does not add much to our previous information on the subject, it tends in a great measure to confirm it. While the Russians are making preparations which indicate the alsnost immediate commencement of hostilities' Austria h putting her troops in motion in a manner which induces a suspicion that she will not stoma aloof from the contest. While these two Powers are in an probability concerting plans for erasing one part of Turkey from the map of Europe, their Per sian allies are rapidly advancing into the Asiatic portion of that country. Trebisond is said to hays' fallen, and that the Persians had penetrated to Er serum, which is one hundred miles distant, and near which place the Turkish army was completely routed. The Greeks,after having nearly liberated the whole of the Morea, appear to be forming a Constitutional Government, an act of daring which will certainly incur the indignation of the Holy Alliance, and, probably, afford a pretext for visiting them with the same pie tediox as they recently gave to the Neapolitans and Piedmontese, when they were rash enough to attempt to reform the abuses of their Governments. Great atrocities are said, on what authority we know not, to have been committed by the Greeks on the taking of Tripolizsa, and that three thousand inhabitants were put to death after the town had capitulated. If such excesses have been committed, every one must regret that so good a cause has been stained by such a crime; but the war between the Greeks and the Turks has from its commencement been a war of extermination ; and the indignation of the Greeks has not only been provoked by ages of the most debasing tyranny, but by massacres of a recent date the most revolting to human nature. All the French Papers are silent as to this affair at Tripolitsa: and one of them, the Conditutionnel, of Monday last, asserts, in an article from Corfu, that, urged by the , genius of destruction, the Turkish Government bad , given orders to pit the whole of Greece to fire and sword. But who will contend that the Turks can be outstripped in ferocity by the Greeks? The following are additional extracts from the. French Papers : PARIS, DECEMBER u. • Yesterday, after Mass, the King received the Mi nisters, Prince TalleyrAnd, several Marshals, and Peers of France ; among whom were, Count Si meon, late Minister of the Interior ; M. de Lavan, Prefect of Police; M. Angles, Minister of State; a great number of Deputies, the Papal Nuncio, and Officers of all ranks. The report circulated at Frankfort, and repeated in several French journals, that the house of Rothschild had taken a share in the Spanish loan, is without foundation. It is stated in the Laiuunne Gentile, that a species of typhus has raged in the Canton of Berne and the neighbouring Communes, since September last. It was the poor classes that principally suffered from it. Great preparations are making in the Hotel, rue d'Artois, for an English personage of the highest L distinction. Funds, December 22—Five per Cents. 87 fr. 15 c. December 24-85 fr. 65 c. MADRID, DECEMBER 13. Government has received a dispatch from Sara gossa, dated the Bth inst. by which it appears that a rencontre had taken place in that city between a party of soldiers and some of the populace, in which an Officer and a corporal were wounded. Some disorders have taken place in Pampeluna, but they were not of a serious nature. In the sitting of the Cortes of the 11th, the discus sion upon the Report of the Committee appointed to examine into the state of the country was commenced. Several Members claimed to be heard, but Count Flores Estrada was the first who spoke on the ques tion. He was opposed to this Report, and justified his opposition en the following dilemma :—" Are the prerogatives of the Crown (said he) attacked or not ? In the first ease, the authors of so great a crime de serve the severest punishment. If they have not been attacked, why have the Commission proclaimed that disobedience exists? In sanctioning this Report, we prove to the whole of Europe that we neither know how to value the liberties of the people, nor to respect the dignity of the Throne. The enemies of the Con stitutional system will say thatthe Cortes is composed of Jacobins, who countenance anarchy, since they only stigmatize with the epithet disobedient those who compromise entire provinces, by inspiring them with distrust of the Government." Quiroga (who spoke on this question) said, that " if the people of Cadiz had wandered from the Con stitutional path, the dangers they had suffered in the cause of liberty should be allowed in palliation of their offense." The Sitting being declared permanent until its object should be attained, several Members ' were heard. The first part of the Report was ap proved by 140 voices against 48. The Sitting was not terminated till a quarter past eight in the even. ins. A discussion on the second part of the Report would take place immediately. - BAYONNE, DECEMBER 18. Intelligence from Navarre and Arragon announce that these Provinces are in a state of great agitation. In Navarre, a corps of Guerillas had been formed, amounting, it is said, to 900 armed men. The garri sons of St. Sebastian and Vittoria had been instantly dispatched to Navarre. At Saragossa the people had thrown down the monuments erected to perpetuate the revolution. The troops took up arms to defend them, when a tumult took place, in which several were killed and wounded. Gallicia is at this time in a state of.complete anarchy. 'molten from Barcelona give gratifying intelligence as to the fever s which h scarcely known ; but the city is mach agitated by political feelings. VIENNA, DECEMBER 13. According to news received from the Morea,O.tys. sees bad gained a great victory over the Turks.— Three Pacbas bad been 'minded, 400 Turks 11.4 been killed, and 800 wounded. This victory, which was gained near Cassandra, had been celebrated by religious fetes. Odysseus had been proclaimed Germ. ral•in•Chief of Thessaly and Macedonia. The Senate had resolved to guarantee the property of all such Turks as embraced Christianity. Two days ago, after the arrival of a courier from the Turkish frontiers, a report was spread concerning a revolt of the Janissaries at Constantinople. It was said, according to some, that this revolt had cost the Grand Seignior and his eldest son their lives; and, according to others, had only caused the death of Haleb Effendi, the (avow he of the Sultan. ni s report was founded on private letters from Serail, from Belgrade, and from Peterwaradin. Letters from Pest speak also of a courier, the beare r of the same news, having passed through that cites. But the silence of our Journals this day on an event 'of so much importance, requires that it should be doubted until it is fully confirmed. If this silence should continue three days, the news can only be con. sidered as a pious wish of the Greeks. The next pot from Constantinople can bring nothing on this sub. ject, as the letters will not be later than the 26th of November. AUGSBURG, DECEMBER Is. EXTRACT PROM A PRIVATE LETTER. An order of the Austrian Aulic Council enjoin Commanders of Regiments to have their respecti ve corps in complete equipment. According to the latest dispatches received at rt. enna from Turkey, the cordon of Austrian troops este. blished on the western frontiers bad been reinforced It is believed that the war between Russia and the Porte will no longer be delayed. • FRANKFORT, DECEMBER Is. The Greek Insurgents make rapid progress in Can. dia. They have shut the Pacha and the Turkish Aro thoritiets in the city. The Hambetrgh Correspondent says, letters from Petersburgh state that the greatest activity prevails in the army department, and that the campaign evi be opened this winter. The Persian army continues its march in Mak Tuikey. The city of Trebizond, so celebrated is the history of chivalry, has fallen into the power d Persia. A Turkish corps, which was posted near Erzerum, was completely destroyed, after losing at their artillery. It is said that the Russian Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas had quitted St. Petersbnrgb, to joie the army. On the 9th of November, being St. Demetrius'; Day, the Pacha of Salonica, firmly believing that the Christians of Cassandra were entirely occupied I their religious ceremonies, made a brisk attack m fie place; but the Greeks rushed in, firing on the Otto. mans, the whole of whom were killed, with then. ception of the Pacha and 200 men who escaped. According to the most authentic:reports the Grab are occupied in forming a regular Government :113g have convoked a Congress, at Trippolizza, of Dept puties from all the Provinces and Greek Isles. Ther will proclaim it the Greek Federal Republic, at& head of which there will be a President. Prince Do metrics Ypsilanti is intended for that office. TO Congress will decide on everything relative to de defence of the country against the Turks. This it. public will be constituted of siz States, the Mora, Livadia, Thessaly, Macedonia, Epirus, and the Isles A report is spread that the Sultan Mahmond hrl been massacred by the Janissaries, in an insurrectia which broke out at Constantinople, on the 27th d November. They say the sons of the Sultan, and so veral Dignitaries of the Empire, among whons rs Haleb Effendi, have shared the same fate. The French Funds suffered a depression on Me day of nearly three per cent. which is attributed' the failure of a very extensive Stock-holder in Psi; they afterwards recovered, and finally left of 86 f. 20 c.
