FRENCH PAPERS. •-• • 4 k - , • '11... , - • 1p PARIS, JANUARY 7. Yesterday, after Mass, which the King heard in his apartments, his Majesty received the Ministers, the Duke of Richelieu, the Chancellor, several of the Marshals, a great number of Generals, and the Nea politan Ambassador. The Journals of Frankfort, Augsburg, and ether towns in the South of Germany, which two days ago announced the arrival of Austrian dispatches relative to the acceptance of the Russian ultimatum by the Porte, arc now remarkably silent on that subject. The Nuremberg Correspondent states that the Ad miral of the Greek fleet is one of the most distin guished inhabitants of the Isle of Hydra: his name is' Turnbaze. The names of the Commanders of the four divisions of the fleet are Cholocas, Apostolo, Vocos, and Botaze. LITRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM MADRID, DATED DECEMBER 27• _ __________ _ • " The affairs of Andalusia are every day assuming a character m , )re alarming. An extraordinary cou rier has brought an account of new troubles at Se ville. A battalion of the garrison threatened to pro, cccd to the greatest excesses. These troops even went so far as to contemplate the putting to death any person who might propose to obey orders ema natinw limn the present Ministry. " Valencia has entered into the new confederation, and the Representation it has forwarded, it is said, yields in nothing to those of Cadiz and Seville. On the contrary, the whole of Gallicia is restored.to order. " Discontent has shewn itself in several parts of Catalonia. The example of Navarre, the violence of certain Authorities, and of several corps stationed in the province, appear to have occasioned these new troubles. a Madrid enjoys a provisional tranquillity, for which it is indebted to the firm attitude of the Au thorities, but fix which they are exposed to all the fury of the Revolutionists. Fortunately they do not allow themselves to be overawed. _ _ " There is no thought of any change of Ministry. The Minister of the Interior, Necenarres, will perhaps be the first who, either voluntarily or by order, will abandon his post. " Several regiments have received orders to march for Cordova, to augment the number of troops as p-mbling under the command of General Daoiz, who will at last have to enforce the orders of the Govern ment in the south of the Peninsula. " A convoy from America was in sight of Cadiz on the 18th, and the frigate Ani, which escorts it, has on board two millions of hard dollars. _ " DECEMBER 28.—Brigadier Jauregui, who has usurped the command of Cadiz, issued a Proclama tion on the 17th, which states as follows: I have received the Madrid Gantt,* of the utth, which con. tains the Answer of the Cortcs to the King's Message. I have at the same time received two Royal Ordonnances—one of which appoints the well deserving patriot Don Jacinte Roma. vate, Brigadier of the National Army, 'Military Commandant of this Province—thi► is the same person whose dismissal had given occasion for remonstrances from the Authorities of this city : the other Royal Ordonnance gives us for Chief, Don Joa chim Escario, who occupied the same situation at Burgos--a man who has suffered for the cause of Liberty, and who had the glory of assisting the Empecinado in combating Merino. I request the Public to take into consideration the qualities of the two patriots who are about to arrive, and take upon themselves the offices which I have provisionally held.'" EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED BILBOA, DECEMBER 29. ic The 26th, 27th, and '2Bth, were for Bilboa days of disquietude. All the village, of the environs, one only excepted, revolted, and thre.stened the whole province. Bilboa was neatly taken by the insurgents. " On t'.:e 28th, an emissary, sent by the Chief of the insurgents, fell into the hands of one of the pa trols of our guard, who conducted him to the town house. Our Magistrates have the reputation of being Ssrviles, and many persons are of opinion that the whole of this affair was concerted by them. " The Captain of a company in the regular guard is said to be compromised by the dispatches found upon the emissary of the insurgent.. He is put under arrest, and is to be tried by a military commis mission, according to the martial law published on the 26th instant." IRUN, JANUARY 1. We have no letters from Pampelana to-day. The last were dated the 27th ult. They announce that the greatest consternation prevailed there. On the 25th and 26th there was a serious quarrel between the students and the small number of troops remaining in the garrison. A fusilade took place, and eight or ten men were dangerously wounded. The same letters observe, that it would be very difficult to give accounts of what is passing through- 1 out Navarre. We have been given to understand that the Insurgents, whose principal places of meet ting were the mountains of Runcal and Sauguesca, have been beaten. It is added, that thousands of these Insurgents cannot stand against a few regular troops. They have asked and obtained permission to return to their homes. As yet, however, we have not seen the troops return to our garrison. On the 26th, 27th, and 28th, there was fighting at Bastans, Lesaca, and Vera. No force could be found to oppose six hundred Insurgents on their first ap pearance, except 150 men belonging to the Custom house at Bastans these douaniers were beaten ; but at Lesaca and Vera, being reinforced by Militia from Irun, Oyarsun, and some other neighbouring villages, they succeeded in putting the Insurgents to the rout. ...—The number of dead on both sides is said to be one hundred. On the 80th we perceived from Iron about 100 armed men on the mountain of San Marical. Fears being entertained that they would pay us a visit, se veral persons have begun to prepare for flight. AUGSBURG, DECEMBER 26. We learn that the Austrian Legation at Munich has received official intelligence that war against Turkey is decided upon. The Manifesto of Russia, it is added, will appear without delay. VIENNA, DECEMBER 16. red the Bth of . of the revolt of .urbauce, communi- the English iuld Austrian Ambassadois, relative to the various ex.' cesses committed by fanatical individuals have at tained their object. On the 90th of November a Government order was published which prescribes great severity against all excesses of kid* kind. It is as follows: " The perfidy or the treasons and revolts hatched by the Greek nation have united the Mussulmans of all classes under their standards, and have caused them unanimously to assume a warlike attitude. But it belongs only to the Government to punish the se ditious Rajas, who are really guilty of high treason. This duty it will perform with zeal, when those who are convicted of this crime fall into its hands. On the contrary . , those against whom there is no ground of reproach, who prosecute their occupations in a peaceable and honourable manner, ought to be placed out of the reach of danger, and protected by all pos sible means. For this reason, some time ago the most formal orders were dispatched 011 this pointio the Authorities, and Firmans have been published, in virtue of which the innocent Rajas are neither to be vexed nor punished ; and the subjects of Powers in peace, and maintaining friendly relations with the Ottoman Government, as well as all those who de pend upon the Sublime Porte. are not to be exposed to any insult or any danger. Nevertheless, immoral, evil-dispesed, and infatuated men, have transgressed the orders of the Sublime Porte, and committed acts altogether opposed to the intention of the Govern ment, which has therefore found it necessary to order the arrest and the rigid punishment of the persons who engage in these excesses. The Sublime Porte confirms, in the most express manner, by the present rescript, all previous orders of a similar nature.— Hencefot th, then, let care be taken not to insult in any manner whatever the peaceable Rajas, or those who regularly follow their occupations ; and let the same conduct be observed' towards the subjects of friendly Powers. This new and precise order is there fore addressed to all Magistrates and Officers of Police, to take particular care that no injury or insult be experienced by the Rajas who have taken no part in the revolt and conspiracy, or to the subjects of fo reign Powers who maintain relations of peace and amity with the Sublime Porte. Let every perverse transgressor of this order, who shall thus offend our sacred law, be punished in the severest manner by the Chief of the corps to which he belongs. The present Ordonnance, thus renewed, which is to be strictly en forced, with the particular prohibition of all abuses by means of fire-arms, is addressed for that purpose to all Commanders and Magistrates in order that they may superintend its execution, and be personally responsible therefore." The dismissal of the late Reis Effendi caused some interruption in the diplomatic negotiations ; but within the few last weeks different conferences have taken place with the foreign Ministers. The present Reis Effendi assisted at these conferences, as well as the Kadiasker of Romelia and Ganil-Effendi, one of the most experienced statesmen of the Turkish empire, who occupied the post of Reis Effendi until the Greek insurrection broke out. By direct and authentic news from Teheran, dated October 19, we learn that the Persian war is neither at an end, nor nearly terminated. Nothing was known at the Court of Teheran beyond the irruption of! Prince Mohamed-Ali-Mirza into the Pashalick of Bagdad ; but it is stated that no orders were given for this irruption, which has besides had no result oil any consequence. It is asserted that nothing was known of the military operations on the Upper Euphrates; that the Governor of Tabris, Abbas- Mirza, second son of the successor of ,he Schah, had not been authorised to commence them; and if hostilities had taken place in At menia, they wei e to be attributed to the Cutdes, who are inclined to war and pillage.— But whatever be the case with regard to these ante. rior events, it is certain that the Schah of Persia has declared in the most positive manner that it entered in no respect into his views to commence a war with the Porte and that precise orders had been trans . - initted to the two Princes not to permit any hostility against the Turkish provinces. It now remains to be known whether, after the receipt of this news, the Porte will withdraw the declaration of war against Persia. A letter from Warsaw, dated December 11, says, " The people speak here very loudly and very freely of war against the Turks. The Russian troops are so concentrated in Bessarabia and the Ukraine, that it is impossible they can remain long in that position; they must, in a short time, either advance or retro grade. It appears that orders are expected from St. Petersburgh to begin a march, and that a courier from Constantinople will determine which way the movement is to be." Extract of a letter from Havannah, dated Novem ber 20:—" So many idle reports have go►Se forth in regard to the state of affairs here, communicated by billy foreigners, and founded upon coffee-house con versation, and which have found their way into the American Papers, that I should not be surprised that they have made an impression in the United States, that we are upon the eve of a Revolution. Now, I can assure you that we are at present far from it, and there is nothing to apprehend on that score, as all is perfectly quiet here at present." Extract of a letter from Quebec, dated Dec. 6 : " On Thursday afternoon, a heavy North-east snow storm commenced, and lasted till next morning : the depth of snow in the woods, the next day, was about twelve inches, although much had drifted on the open grounds; wheeled carriages were generally laid aside. The wind having come round to the N.W. several vessels which were ready for sea sailed on Fri day. On Sunday morning it was observed that se veral market-boats, both in Lower Town and at St. Rock, had been dashed to pieces in the night. The Quebec steam-boat, which got ashore at Groudines ) in the snow storm on Thursday, arrived in pen t this morning." Extract of a letter from Boston, dated Dec. 8.- 1 " Last year no less than 734 vessels sailed from Alaska, and the Western coast of America, through the channels separating America from North Georgia and Greenland. It is curious to reflect that the very existence of such a passage was a problem of difficult solution to Europeans trom the I(3th to 19th Cen turies; this was then called the North-west passage, and was first discovered by a navigator of great celebrity amongst the ancient English, but it is impos sible to ascertain, from the imperfect state of our re cords, his true name."

The French Papers of Monday contain an import ant article of intelligence from Vienna, and one which must disconcert those fabricators of Greek murders who have so disgracefully advocated the sinking cause of Turkish despotism and cruelty, and libelled —grossly libelled a brave people, for no other reason than that when the measure of human suffering became full, they rose on their oppressors, and wreaked on them a portion of that vengeance which for centuries had been poured forth upon themselves. It is posi tively affirmed, and indeed so circumstantially stated as to leave no doubt of the fact, that the strenuous representations of the English and Austrian Ambas sadors have at last been effectual in procuring the condemnation, at least, of the atrocious severities exercised, not by the Greeks at Tripolizza or else where, but by the Turks against the Greeks. A Government Order was issued by the Sublime Porte on the 30th of November, which threatens to punish all those " immoral, evil-disposed, and infatuated men, whohave transgressed the orders of the Sublime Porte, and committed acts altogether opposed to the interests of the Government." This order gives the power to the Chiefs of the Corps to which the offenders may belong, to punish every transgressor in the severest manner. , We are far from thinking that this order will be obeyed, nor, perhaps, does the GRAND SEIGNIOR care that it should, bat it is important inasmuch as it has wrung from the Sublime Porte what some of our contemporaries have sought to deny—an acknow ledgment of the dreadful atrocities of the Turks, while it does not even plead as a palliative, any simi lar acts on the part of the Greeks. What will our Christian contemporary say, now that his most potent ally, the GRAND SEIGNIOR, dis avows the defence he had set up for him, and on the part of his subjects pleads guilty to the very charge which the Courier denied : for ourselves, we can only lament that an English Editor should be outstripped in generosity by a' turban'd Turk.' The Madrid Papers to the 19th ult. which we have received, and the accounts from Spain in the French Journals, give too positive evidence of the distracted state of that country. In the Hamburgh Papers, extracts from which will be found in another place, there is an article which states, that letters had been received from Constanti nople, dated the 9th of December, which represent that capital as tranquil ; and restates a rumour which had reached us from other quarters, that the differ ences with Persia had been settled. If so, it has been the most unmeaning war we ever heard of : but we must wait for further confirmation before we can give the report the sliglltest belief. We have received Madrid Papers to the 18th of December. The following are extracts: XERES, DECEMBER 16. There not having been any persons attacked with the fever since the 2d of this month, the Municipality and the Board of Health prepared to celebrate Te' Deuni on the 10th, after which the Quarantine of Observation will begin. Accounts horn Constantinople, date December, which make no mention of ; ttieJ a nissaries, no n rof s . any disturb:Luc cafe 41 The energetic sepicsentations of tin •• • : t GERONA, DECEMBER 16. On the 14th, before daybreak, about 400 seditious persons entered this place, overpowered the principal guard of the quarter of the cavalry at the gates, and attacked the guard of the prison, to release the prisoners, but a subaltern and four soldiers,who were on duty, protected by an iron gate, kept up a brisk fire at them, and made them desist from their enter prite. At the same time they began to fire at them through the windows; some Militia assembled, and attacking them on all sides, obliged them to fly precipitately, so that many leaped from the wall. —The most of those who were within shewed them selves in the plain. About 150, and by late accounts there were far more, who came from different parts, who expected the bell of the Cathedral to be rung ; and as they could not get at the bell, because the ringers did not open the Church, they did not appear. There was a confusion as if it were the day of judg ment. Of those who attacked the guard, five were killed, and three taken, two of whom have been shot to-day ; nine others who were taken are in the prison. No militiaman, or persou belonging to the city, has suf fered. Up to this moment we do not know who is the Chief of this handful of Anti-Constitutionalists, who certainly have the vilest ideas or intentions : inquiries are making. Militia have come hum various parts to reinforce us, and detachments arc sent into the en virons to see if them arc any bands of people col lected. This :city has well proved its attachment to the system which governs us. MADRID. DECEMBER ,s. In consequence of the insurrection in several pa ts of Navarre, Colonel D. Alexander O'Donnell, Cor a . mandant of the city of Vittoria, took the precautice (that the bad example might not be propagated t o some of the parts of the Province of Alava) of !en d. ing a detachment to Santa Cruz de Campezu, as important point on the borders of the two Province s . though he had only one battalion, having marched the other to Puente. This precaution was not in v a i n, for on the 20th he learned that one Crespo and B e , minguillo, each with about 30 of the insurgent s of Navarre, were at Poblacion and Bernedo, carrying off arms and horses. Ire consequently sent a de. tachment of about one hundred and forty m en , chiefly militia, who offered their services, and in ccn. cent with other detachments attacked these rebels.— Dominguillo was killed, and five others taken. There is nothing important from Arragon. Detachme.ns were marched from Lerida to reinforce the troop s c f Arragon; others are proceeding by forced MatCLCS from Catalonia for the same purpose; others have marched from Valencia, and, in short, from all paits, even Estremadura : troops are ordered to Arr.fo n and Navarre, which proves the exertions of the vernment. News was received at Vittoria that C'e troops of General Lopez Banos have entirely beA:ea a the Insurgents of Navarre, under their Chief, Lad, ca. At a late hour this forenoon we received a Flana:s Mail, which contains accounts from Constantimp:e up to the 11th of December. Some disturbances, it appears, had taken place in that capital, on the repel of the Porte having acceded to the demands oiltust: , The following are extracts : BRUSSELS, JANUARY 6. A letter from Vienna which has been comma. cated to us, and which comes from a very able source, contains the following news from C. btautinople, which comes down to the 10th ult. " The Sultan had irritated the Janissaries by op posing the pillage of the Suburb of Pera, ninth he had promised them. On the 9th December a report was spread that his Sublimity had accepted the ulti matum of Russia : at this news howlings were heard before the Seraglio. " The Sultan having sent for Dali Mulcl;i, v.:.0 owned himself to be the author of this report, cu: his head with his sabre. This execu:ion seemed :a quiet for a moment the ferocious soldiery. But wards evening the Janissaries collecting to the num ber of 17,000, traversed Constantinople, and e( r,..- menced the piPage which had been promised ti;,-;. The Sultan attempted to harangue them, hu: vain; he was obliged to return into the Ser.!g:..., amidst a volley of balls and stones. Then the neers prepared to besiege the Palace. Mahrnotid, losing all hope of safety, called all his family arou;:d him, and sacrificed with his own hand his three dati,;!:- ters and is son, exclaiming in a solemn voice— " The times are accomplished I" At the same time the Janissaries, forcing their way on all sides into the Palace, appeared, and were struck with horror. He then cried to then, pointing to his son, who lay stretched lifeless at his feet—" The race of MahoNtt is going to be extinct, and Me reign ofthe Ottomans a at an end r • Saying these words, he plunged his dagger in his heart, and expired before their eyes. • The Turks believe that the reign of the Ottomans will ti; with the rase of Mahomet, of which Mahmoud was the branch. TRIESTE, DECEMBER 16. Companies have been fotmed in some ports of Italy, which undertake to furnish the Greeks with arms a:A ammunition. The Greeks have plenty of money, and pay immediately. Even English join in this tracl . , which presents irresistible prospects of gain ; and t!,e prohibitions of the Lord High Commissioner in Ole lonian Islands, are unable to hinder the frety.leat communications between the Seven Islands and :I e Greek Archipelago. Letters have been received *day from coif, which are dated only eleven days back : they star: that all the towns of the Peloponnesus, except Core", are in the hands of the Greeks. Even Arta Ls yielded to their arms, which now triumph not ea;y in the Peloponnesas, but in Thessaly and in all El•: . • - •s as at Cassandra. FRANKFORT, DECEMBER zo.
