"It ? /4 1 1Pririth re Nftn eruption ; all the symp toms announce them elves in a terrific way; the con - duct of the inhabitants of Cadiz. Seville, and Corunna, has found imitators; the party of the Comnueneros directed and forwarded the execution of the famous plot; almost all the Officers of the Army are won over to it, together with a party of the Provincial Militia, and nobody now affects to conceal it. To day or to-morrow, it is said, that this faction will avow itself openly, knowing that this is precisely the period when the Permanent Deputation of the Cortes is to render to the Cortes itself an account of the actual state of the nation, while proposing the mea sures necessary to remedy its evils. The regular troops and the Militia are alike to be under arms, and this, therefore, is the moment that has been chosen for the decisive blow. The result of this Sitting being likely to prove most interesting, the populace are ex pected to repair in crowds to the Palace of the Legis lature, which cannot fail, as is wished, to increase the tumult. It is during this Sitting that an expla nation will be required of the motives for the appear ance of a General and his Staff at Bayonne. The faction or party of the anrinnineros, which has also its patrons in the Cones, and of which Nlessts. Romeo . Alpuente and Dioz del Morales (now joint Editors and Proprietors of the Regnlateur) are the leaders, will explain themselves a little sharply as to the pre tended assembling of French troop.. " I have just been informed that the Queen is taken ill. To-day is her natal anniversary ; but her Majesty cannot attend the Court ceremonies on this occasion." The following is an extract of a letter dated Co runna, the Ist of December, and received by the mail of yesterday : " Since the 28th November, the date of my last letter, nothing more has occurred with regard to Mina, except that the people have prevented him from leaving the place, in conformity to the orders of Government, and he continues, as heretofore, com manding the Province, in the character of Captain. General. Till the return of the express sent up by our Municipality to Madrid, with remonstrances and explanations on this snhject, we do not know what will be done; but, in the meantime, I can assure you, that the most perfect tranquillity prevails here." Letters from Barcelona to the Bth, confirm the ac counts previously received of the fever in that City having entirely disappeared. The utmost precau tion is still taken to prevent the contagion from re entering the town; and six Physicians, attended by many of the wealthy inhabitants, are stationed at the gates to prevent any persons infected from returning to the City. THE 1.% ENI‘G M'I'AR. LON 1)0N. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 21, 1821. St. Timms at *be But. The Paris Journals of Tuesday last, which we re ceived this morning, leave us in the same uncertainty respecting the policy of the new Ministry ; nor do they contain any additional appointments of importance. No public Sitting had been fixed in the Chamber of Deputies, and it was expected that none would take place for some days, and until the Ministerial ar rangements were completed. The intellitence from Germany, Turkey, and Rus sia, in these Papers, is decidedly warlike ; indeed every post brings some additional fact leading to the conclusion that war between R , :;sia and Turkey is not only inevitable but on the eve of commencing. The cause of the Greeks still triumphs; wherever they meet their oppressors, it is but to conquer them. The Persian invasion is said to be more serious than was at first thought; and it is reported, on more auchorities than one, that Bagdad has been taken. The news from Spain in the French Papers bears sharks of exaggeration, and must always be received with suspicion. The following are extracts: PARIS, DECEMBER is. Yesterday, the new Ministers took possession of their respective Hotels. M. Angles, the Prefect of Police, having resigned yesterday, the administration has been entrusted in the interim to M. Parisot, the Chief of theist Division. It is said, that the place of Director-General of the Police will be abolished, and that there will be an Under Secretary of State attached to the Miuister of the Interior, to execute the office. Corbiere was yesterday invested Minister of the Interior. It is said that the Sittings of the Chambers will be suspended for some days, in order to afford time for the new Ministers to complete their administrative organisations, and prepare for their legislative duties. It is added, that the first communication of the Mi nistry to the Chamber of Deputies, will have for its object to demand the six-twelfths, and the proposi tion of a Project of Law of Police on the Journals. announced by the Keeper of the Seals. M. le Chevalier Delaville, the es-Secretary of the Council of Ministers, is to be named Master of Re quests Extraordinary. Report states, that on the 14th instant the King wade a promotion of ten Marshals-de-Camp, among whom are mentioned M. de la Bourdonnaye, Colonel of Chasseurs ; Viscount de LatourMau bourg, Colonel, of Cavalry; and Colonel de Matharel. The population of the eighty-six Departments, of which the kingdom of France, according to the trea ties of 1814 and 1815, now consists, consisted, in the year 1820, of 30,407,907 individuals. In the year isl 9, there were 990,023 births, and 786,338 deaths;' making an excess of births amounting to 203,685. In the Chamber of Deputies, yesterday, the first • and fourth Bureaux met, Ad appointed Messiettrs Villele and Corbiere Members of the Commission on the Budget. The next day the Commission would assemble to appoint a President and , Secretary. No day was fixed for a public sitting. FRENCH FUNDS, DEC. 17.—Five per Cents. 88f, 10c. IR I ESTE., DECEMBER 3. We have letters from Calamaus of the 10th No vember. The affairs of the Greeks appear to go on well. The Senate of Calamatta had transferred its seat to Tripolizza, where orders were published in form of a Seuatqs Consultum. The troops that bad been before Tripolizza, were generally gone to be siege Patras. Nearly 8,000 men passed the Isthmus of Corinth to fight Chourschid Pacha, who had Leen completely defeated by the Greeks and the Suliots. Ali, the Pacha of Janina, has sent considerable subsidies to the Senate of the Morea ; it is said to the amount of two millions of sequins. Two Albanian Chiefs carried this donation, with a letter of con- gratulation to the Senate. We are assured that this letter was signed Constantine. This would spew that Ali considered the cause of the Greeks as victorious. Odyssius carries on an active war against the Turks in Epirus. Ile has taken several transports, laden with provisions, davtined for the Noma. The inhabitants of the lonian Islands oppose the disarming ordered by the Governor. Some skirmishes had taken place between the English • and the pea- :ants who live in the mountains. SEMLIN, NOVEMBER 30. We have news from Seres of the 15th inst. The Turks had made another furious attack on the Greeks near Cassandra, and had been repulsed with im- mense loss. NUREMBURG, DECEMBER U. (kITIllecT PROM A PRIVATE LETTER.) " If the last letters from Petersburgh do snot bring decisive intelligence of the result of the negociations at Constantinople, they at least shew that war is the most probable. " The Russian armies remain quiet in their can tonments ; no movement of any consequence had taken place. ' "It is confirmed that the advanced posts of the Turks and Russians, on the banks of the Pruth, had! had some skirmishes, but nothing serious had ensued." 411 6 A - Ni; 4 **, .1 FRANKFORT, DECEMBER Isl. The last news received from Epirus is to the 15th November. At that period the Tut ks were surrounded on all points. The Suliots had taken possession of Arta, and, seconded by the Albanians, had formed the blockade of Vcnitza. Prevesa, feebly defended by the Turks, was on the point of capitulating. The son of the Schuh of Persia, on entering the Ottoman Empire, published a Manifesto against the Grand Signior, in which he treated his Highness as a heretic, an enemy of the Caliph Ali, the only suc cessor of Mahomet. On the 25th of September, the Kurds, partizans of the Persians, joined by several bands of Wechabites, were marching against the principal Turkish towns. The news of this insurrec tion had created great alarm in Bagdad. FROM THE BANKS OF TILE DANUBE, DEC. 6. The invasion of the Persians is a very serious war. The last letters from Constantinople announce the capture of Bagdad. Although this news may be pre mature, yet that city cannot oppose a long resistance to a formidable army. It is said that the Druses and the Pacha of Da mascus have a second time revoked, and that this insurrection is more violent than the first. VIENNA, DECEMBER 7. The attack of the Persians is of greater importance than was at first believed. It is not an enterprise of brigands, but a completely organized invasion, which '1 threatens at the same time Erzerum and Bagdad, and which will give a mortal blow to the Turkish power in this part of Asia. Several letters, received by the last courier, state that Bagdad has fallen into the hands of the Persians. AUGSBURG, DECEMBER is. We have received the following news from Odessa, dated November 19: It is said that the Grand Seignior Mahmoud, has twice declared in the Divan, that " The Holy Al liance, including England and Austria, had resolved upon the destruction of the Porte and of Islamism ; that such was the real purpose of its institution ; and that if the Ministers of England and of Austria put on an air of protection towards the Porte, it was but dissimulation en their parts." This expression of the Sultan's has reached us from an exceedingly good quarter; but even should it be forged, it is at least true that the Divan and all the Turks participate in that opinion, and that it is on that account that th e Divan has declined the offer made by Lord Strang ford in the month of September, to send English Commissioners into the Morea, to persuade the insur gents to throw themselves upon the clemency and amnesty of the Porte. All Europe knows the innocence of the Ministers of Austria and of England of sentiments so evil-dis posed towards the Turks as those which are thus ins , puled to them ; but those Powers cannot but be af flicted on beholding so evil a return for their im portant services. As soon as Lord Strangford heard of the Persian invasion, he dispatched •to o messengers to Ispahan and Teheran, to incline the Schah to more pacific dispositions ; but it remains to be seen whether the Persians also will not distrust the English. War against the Porte begins to be considered here as more probable. The report of an approaching, prohibition of the exportation of grain is revived.— The ultimatum of our Sovereign reached Constan tinople on the 19th of October. The Reis Effendi (who has since been displaced) instantly communi cated it to Lord Strangford, adding, that the Porte could not accept it. He alto supported that opinion in the Divan, which occasioned his fall. Our news from Constantinople comes down to the 12th of November. It was expected that the Divan would hold a sitting in a few days, at which the an swer to the ultimatum would be finally resolved on. MADRID, DECEMBER 6. PROM PARTICULAR CORRESPONDRSCR. The following is a statement of recent events at Valladolid :—General Echevarri, Minister of Police under the old Government, was in prison, accused of conspiring against the Constitution. As some delay had taken place in bringing him to trial, a body of the Liberals and others determined to enter the prison and kill him. The General procured a few loaded muskets, and determined to make his life a dear purchase. Chance made the Insurgents discover his arms, on which a . report was spread that the Ge neral was at the head of a new conspiracy to rescue ; the prisoners, and arming them to put the city to fire and sword. The clamours of the disaffected became so violent, that it was found necessary to remove the prisoner under a strong escort to the fortress of Sego. via, where he at present remains. An • extraordinary courier has just arrived from Valladolid. He is the bearer of a Representation from all the Authorities of the Province to the King, demanding the dismissal of the Ministers. It is re markable for its harsh expressions and the menaces with which it is filled. The Bishop was one of the first who signed the Address. The courier said there had been offers of men, money, and arms, at Valla dolid, for forming a little Army, with which to march on Madrid, and force the King to yield to the public voice. It is added, that General Espinosa, who had a military command in the province, could raise 20,000 men, who wished for nothing better than to march towards Madrid. LISBON, DECEMBER 1. The police has been engaged for some days in en deavouring to discover the authors of some pamphlets which have appeared against the system now in force., Manoel, of the Convent of Villa Viciosa, and author of a brochure entitled, 64 A Preservative against the Liberal Ideas of the Nindeenth Century," is at this mo ment an object of censure with the Government. A private letter from Paris, dated on Monday last, states, that the law of the Censorship of the Journals will certainly not be renewed. It expires on the sth of February, and will be superseded, it is said, by a severe repressive measure. The Prefect of Police of Paris, the Count Angles, it is further stated, re tires along with the Directors, to make room for a friend of the new Cabinet. M. Rayneval has like wise retired, and has been offered the embassy to Berlin, as successor to M. de Chateaubriand. Re- Torts dispose variously of the latter, but some ap- I l poinunent of importance, it is said, will be found for him. Amid these changes in the Cabinet, and pro motions in the minor offices, the chief of the late Mi nistry, the Duke de Richelieu, seems to be the only person forgotten or overlooked. Against him the whole force of the Opposition was directed, which drove himself and his colleagues from the Cabinet The cry of a Russian influence, and the feeling that France had not played any part in the events which happened this Spring at her door, or in those which are now taking place in the East, were the real causes of his fall. In this cry all parties (on other subjects the most opposite) could join—in that feeling every Frenchman participated. —The admission of corn from Odessa was a crime, when viewed as an indication of partiality towards Russia, which had deprived France direr just weight in the arrangement of the affairs of Turkey. The Duke's wavering, uncertain, and timid policy, in the direction of domestic affairs, coupled with his foreign political system, increased the unfavourable harms sion of his character and talents. He yesterday left Paris for his estate of Courteil, without being accom panied wish so many regrets as his amiable private character might have been expected to excite. It is now thought that the Duke de Richelieu will return to Russia, and resume his station as Governor of Odessa. Ills manse, indeed, still appears in the Russian Army List, as a General in the service of Russia ; and in the imperial Russian Calendir, as Governor of Odessa, «absent upon leave." The latter circumstance was emphatically alluded to, by 14. Donnadieu, in the memorable and stormy debate of the Secret Sitting upon the Address to the King. The Duke doCazes, it is said, has still a party. Harmburgh Papers to the 15th instant arrived this forenoon. The following are extracts: FROM THR EMS, DECRMRER e. On the representation of the Cabinet lernistry, his Majesty has been pleased to approve of the erection of a Bank in East Friesland, and the necessary funds are already formed for this establishment, which will be of the greatest importance to the merchants, land owners, arc. of this province. VIENNA, DECEMBER 6. The most satisfactory accounts are in circulation on 'Change to-day, respecting the continuance of peace. The paper currency is therefore risifig, and the Metalliques (on the 4th), as well as Raba- child's Tickets of the First Loan, continue to prove. Rothschild's Tickets of the Second L am „ have not, however, yet risen to par. ST. PETERSBURGH, NOVEMBER r:. His Majesty the Emperor has approved of the rr presentation made by Baron Strogonoir, in favour the persons attached to the Embassy to the Sublime Porte. As a testimony of the favour with which his Majesty honours this Minister, he has bestowed oils honours and rewards on the Gentlemen in question. ODESSA, NOVEMBER It Two ships have arrived from Constantinopl e , b ut brought no news. Within these three days, muc h wheat has been bought, and hastily dlipped, i mmix we fear that the exportation of it will very so ca b e prohibited. CONSTAI•:TINOPLE, OCTOBER 27. We are very well aware here what a situation we shall be in with respect to the importation of gvaia even from Egypt (to say nothing of Odessa and the actual state of Moldavia and Wallachia), in ca se chat should ensue, and that at the first cannon fired by th e Russians, we should be as if in a besieged city, as La as regards the first necessary of life. Peace is held out to the people, and it is really wished for, hat without doing anything effectual to preserve it, far woe to the Minister who should venture to recomme n d the evacuation of the two Principalities, which is very naturally the sine qua non of Russia. Whetter. : a ship appears from Odessa, the greatest joy prevail; the newsmongers, too, always contrive to receive by it some consolatory letter. Lately they had se a Baron S:rogonoff to Siberia, the Franchini to Ase. a . can, &c, Such are the imaginations of people whoconsi. der the murder of the sacred Synod as a trifling misfile. But the Divan knows how matters stand. Man, ray prudent great men had sent their Harems to Brum (to take the baths !), others intended to send ti much farther into Asia, when the unlucky incursion of the Persians came in the way. COPENHAGEN, DECEMBER e. We continue to receive further accounts of theda• mage done on our coasts by the late storms. Many ships have been stranded, many lost their anchors and cables, and others perished. It is rematkable,aut in many places where these hurricanes have raged, they were accompanied with violent thunder stems The number of ships and vessels lost in the Bab: and the Cattegat, during these storms, is estimassi at 100. Winter has now set in with frost and snow, and the navigation is probably over for this year. As Danish subjects sometimes suffered losses from the circumstance that there is in foreign countries a Foriem Arresli, in consequence of which the foreigs creditors of a bankrupt here get themselves paid sa t of the property, effects, or claims which the tankfuls may have abroad, and as this was not the case here,z Decree, dated 30th ult. has been issued, giving D.. nish subjects the same right against the prope►tyti foreigners, which may be in Denmark, in similartnes DECEMBER ft. All the State paper which had fallen in Fiala risen again: the Royal Bonds, from 70 to 75; al the National Bank Bonds, from 90 to 94. American Papers arrived this morning to the lib November. FROM THE PENSACOLA FLORIDIAN, OCT.s. HIGHLY IMPORTANT.—In a conversation withal of the Geatlemen affording the news from Vera En; we learn that Russia and Great Britain ate both" treaty with the King and Cortes for the purchased the Kingdom of New Spain. Great Britain lig offered fifteen millions sterling : there was naill said of the Russian propositions. The Deputiesd New Spain have protested strongly against the skit procedure, not consenting to hear any props"" from either Power. They had sent advice', gill{ this intelligence, to Vera Cruz, which must Ytt reached there about the 16th tilt. as on that clay* steam schooner Mexican sailed for Tampico, ail the news was brought by her. Our informant is ceived the intelligence from Ondazeu, the owird the schooner; who adds, that it was believed, al had produced a great excitement and alarm, all p ties being strongly opposed to any transfer of Er pean Government. CAPTURE OF ANOTHER PIRATE The Norfolk Herald states that the United S. schooner Porpoise sailed from St. Thomas's on tk I6th October, in pursuit of a piratical vessel, Irbil had committed extensive depredations upon the Amt rican cdlnmerce, and that the Porpoise had succeedi in capturing her, after an action of two hours. p Porpoise had two men killed ; the loss of the pia! was not ascertained. FROM THE BOSTON PAPER. Suspicions are entertained at Calcutta that the' colson Islands, at the entrance of the Gull of Bersii are inhabited by a gang of pirate., headed by an Est lishrnan of the name of Worthington. I: was I posed that a ship had been recently cut off, au4 0 tempts had been made to entice others into pit. YELLOW FEVER AT JAMAICA.
