To return to Monsieur, a report has been in cisCiliation for some days, that .. hts Royal Highness intends to abdicate immediately after his succession to the CroWn, for the wise purpose of placing it on the head of the Duchess d'Angouleme— for of the Royal Duke, her spouse, no one speaks or even thinks. Be this report %tell Or ill founded, a melancholy future-awaits France. The Duchess d'An gouleme is a. truly pious and zealous Catholic, but that she is a Sovereign calculated to render France ham's , and respected, her warmest admirers will not assert ; that she is popular with the infidel portion, as they a* Called, of the French (about twenty-eight out er:thitfy Millions), no person will maintain—on the ca ratty, she is not less obnoxious to the fanatic pefitiehm thee to the 'equally fanatical atheist; you *ill, therefore, agree with . me, that the prospects of Fritteletefrightful to contemplate. * 4l ( lasinontradiption, to.nsy wow of the King's illness you may refer to the Auto* in which it is stated that . his Majesty held .a drowing-sooin, &c. 1k twit Inisied by. this, or similar patagraphs;• it. is wire that the gentlemen and ladies of his Court hay, defiled before him, but of „their presence th e Xing was scarcely. sensible.

" Naave alluded alsti to the incapacity of the Du.i. des d'Angouleme to sway the sceptie-of this king. dom, in its present state of dyeradation. How are the mighty fallen ! That nation, which ten short' years since, .dictated laws to the whole European Continent, is now incapable of rendering itself re. spected by Powers of. the third class. Where is that mighty French army; where are dime . ..soldiers who marched to victory with as much .confidence as if really irresistible? Dead—denounced—destituted— despised.—Where is that military spirit that once pervaded France ?—Flown. You saw in the Journals of last Friday an account of the dismissal of one Chef de Battalion, a Captain of Grenadiers, and four other 015e.ers of the 18th regiment. of the .lipe at Per pignan—where were these iedivicloals.on:the arrival of their destitution at . head-quarter; fit en,. . ' « What caused the numerous and Sanguinary &kis that t know hive been fought in that regiment within. the last four months . ? The assertion .by pee party,, and the denial'hy the other; that, the Spaniards %%tee tight in choosing their own form of Goeermisent, and that France ought not to intetfere. with them. Such are a few of the incidents that haveeccurred' in this celebrated regiment since last August . ; but another, much more formidable' (because generally imitated), happened the week-before last, Eeety diet and sub-officer who would become-entitled to hie discharge on the Ist inst. demanded and obtained it. To this I lately alluded; but the extent of this indis s position to serve, is almost incredible to au) , person' acquainted with the military propensities of the 'French. So many as 360 quitted the 18th ; an equal number left the 32d; and perhaps every other regi ment in the service.- ..Thus in one week, a full sixth of the French army—and of the oldest soldiers, too— have been ,put hors de combat; an affair of no small importance to the Spaniards, in the event of war, which is this day very probable." The Pyrenees form a long chain of mountains, which extend between France and. Spain, over x dis tance of 90 leagues. The principles established by the ancient Commissioners of the two Crowns, for fixing the limits of their respective territories, was the divi sion of ground, according to the flowing of the waters. They agreed that all the vallies and plains in which the waters flowed to the south should belong to Spain, and that all those in which the waters flowed to the north should belong ito Prance. Notwithstanding this arrangement, the valley. of Aran has, by theeffect of as ancient marriage, alwayscontinued in the pos session ,of Spain, whose manners are common to the inhabitant* ; but the basin of. Cerdagne, which is eitosted in . the Eastern Pyrenees, in the middle of the highest eminences, and which ought to belong wholly either to Spain or France, is, however, divided between them. , 2 IN 8* , • V ilte Col7.4NcijiilE9.4lilittitith:ll - nonleif l is4efoit rifted' the Seraglio, and immense is (ha/ — people who flock-together to•saliastibeir-o, the sight of the dreaded five, wbots the - was. obliged to sackifice t The Jafta accuses him a - la the most shamefial , :missnie the .Stabounded . , confidence which the State had reposed in him, .With respect to his-last moment! , it 4c Officially atated, that with forty faithful adhereiiti he defended himself when the Capidgi Bashis appeared, but Wii overpowered by numbers, and eqt tn .; pieces. Thus I be at least skewed' personal cmtrage in his last mo ments. The crisis, however, in some measure conti 'hues, and the Janissaries fill with their creatures all the places of the.deposed Ministers. The Sultan had within these few days - paid a visit in the strictest incognito to-the Grand Vizier, proba bly to seek his advice in his critical situation. The Conference, howevei, laited three quarters of an hour, and was immediately followed by the dismissal of several high-Officers. Among these are twelve supe rior Officers df State, who have long been obnoxious !to the Janissaries. It is difficult to foresee what fur tber may happen,. but we believe that our apprehen sions will not be found groundless. Tartars have brought the news that Choorschid Pacha -is dead. 'Weil-informed persons,' however, think he put an end to his life himself, having reason to fear that orders would be sent from Constantinople to put him to death. The Sultan has appointed to the post of &riskier of the Army destined against the Morea, Czeleddin Pacha, of Boinits,proposed by the Janissaries, who was before intended as his suc cessor. Together with this news,ihe Porte announces 'a trifling victory gained by comer Vrione, in Acar nania, on which occasion some towns are said to have been burnt: perhaps, however, this• is merely done by way of consolation for the disasters of the fleet. There have been no negotiations with the Christian 'Ambassadors since the changes in the Administra tion ; but when Lord Strangford returns he will find a great difference, the Janissaries not being much' dispdsed to admit of diplomatic influence.—Afigo. , wine Zeitung, Jan. 1. _ AUOSBUIi , F.CF.MBETt es. r It was lately supposed that in case of war between.

Petersbisrgla cannot consent. to the demands of the Porte, especially With regard to the evacuation of the fortresses in the Asiatic iron. , tier, near Mount Caucasus, though this evacuation is stipulated by the last Treaty of Peace. • Every ar-' 1 rangement seems therefore to be impossible. .

ROTYRRDA/N, JANUARY 2. " The Ntaase has been, for the last eight days, com pletely froten over, and is now passed over by car riages, carts, &c. This day a fair took place on the river; there were regular marquees and booths erected—the forreer affording entertainment, and the. latter decked out with the most fascinating articles Of Dutch attraction, There were ten ice-boats,' deco rated with fancy streamers ; the proprietors of which fared well. by letting therwout by the course, which they perform with the velocity of a race-horse, Carts , and carriages continue to cross the Mame in various directions. There is no prospect df a change of wea ther. The concourse of people assembled daily on the ice, in every direction, is immense. A number of individuals have been drowned ,here, at the tom.' mencement of the frost, through a prematete_desire of skaiting. Among them were a .young man and his sweetheart; who were much admired for their dexterity in skaiting ; they both went down tOgitbeT, hand-in-hand, to rise no more. 4 ‘ Just previous to the frost setting in, a Young English woman, who had just come ever here as cook to Mr. Colin Campbell,. a . 06 merchant, in going out to deliver a.preseut il fellistO the canakad joirling their house,. and was drowned.

SPANISH POLITICAL TER I*. PERSE4 Persians.—This term is applies the seventy-two Deputies of the Cartes who, on the re turn of -Ferdinand; sied: the .

It was a custom among the Persians,”-.ocs; --- ;.•7 Assotarrores—Persons who hold Abe sense nions as the Perses, and wish tb restore the' King to the possession of absolute power. , - • PASTISLEROS, Pastry•cooks.-..—Modifications peet. posed to be made in the Constitution have been called a pastel, which• means a pie, or any kind of pastry ; hence those. who. are supposed to wish to make suck modificatiens; that is, tQ mix up thb ingredients and knead the dough of the pie, are named Pasteleros: The. term has, however, been differently applied and diverted from its. original use. The last Ministers who were suspected, of. a design to alter the Consti tution had the epithet Pasteleros applied to them, as had all the Members of the Cortes who voted'in their favour. These Deputies'were also called Ar becanse the celebrated Arguelles was, the leader of their party, But the present Ministers, though considered to be decidedly attached to the Constitution, and against all changes,' are in their turn called Pasteleros by the Zurriagnistas and Lan flaburianistas.* Thus the word has at length ceased to be a term of reproach. One of the Pans journals . has stated, that Pasteirro means the same as the French !Ventru (pot-bellied or corpulent); but no reason is assigned for this application. *, •, • Anmeitos; the Iting-men.—There is a society or iclub, called the Anal°, or the Ring, the members of which are understood to be decided partisans for the 'tablisliment of a Chamber of Peers. The members 'of this club are said to be highly respectable, but few in number. All persons who concur in Opinion thiii club in the necessity of a House ofPeers, pr.

I was anxious to get et tome of thein, being' assured the young one's flesh was neurly swat in taste and flavour to our own deer. As soon as the tains had subsided, the Weather became clear, tem perate, and pleasant. Numbers of these creatures came within pistol-shot of us, and as I expected this would be the case, I was prepared for them ; and one day when they advanced more than usually close - to us, we had the good luck to knock down no less than five of them, three of which tried- to mike off though. badly wounded, but our Danish dogs soon stopped them, and they were safely brought back ; we dressed their flesh in a variety of ways, and to me it proved most excellent. Not long after this it gave much uneasiness to observe more than usual numbers of the cures prowling about the vicinity. I did not men tion my apprehensions to Mrs. G. but I resolved to be prepared for the worst, and never to be off my 'guard. I watched minutely the conduct of every in dividual within my domain,. kit treachery within should betray us into the hands of their country without, as we had taken several of the natives. all under the age of eighteen, into our service, and we had hitherto every reason to believe them perfectly harmless, and well-disposed towards us. While. I was deliberating on the steady course I mfg ViV , pursue, one of my Dutch acquaintance called on me, and from him" learnt that alarge body oftbeCidrem had assembled at a village ,a few miles distant, that the farmers and cOlonists 'in those' parts had everything to fear, front their . known.loee of plunder and their ferocity.
