A Council of Ministers is reported to have been held on Saturday, at which the Duke de Mont morency called for a decision on the terms in which the French Government was to address that of Spain. M. tie Villele, after delivering his opinion against the pr, posed Note, stated, that such an im portant proceeding should not be adopted, except tinder the Presidency of his Majesty. He therefore. broke up the Council, saying that he would take his Majesty's commands on the day most convenient c,ir him to preside in the early part of next week. Hi, Majesty fixed upon Christmas Day (Wednesday). and ordered the two Ministers, whose opinions were di• tided on the questi-m of peace or war, to bring each of them that opiainn embodied in a Representation or Note to the French Amdassador at Madrid. Each of them did so ; and it was understood that retire ment from the Cabinet, or continuance in it, would depend upon the rejection or adoption of the proposi tion of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Both are -e -ported to have been read before his Majesty yesterday, and the arguments in support of each balanced. His Majesty is stated to have taken a comprehen sive view of the question—to have given an outline of the reasoning for both the courses of policy me commended —and, finally, to have declared his assent to the Note of M. de Villele. Upon this, M. de Mont morency took from his pocket a paper, which he had previously drawn up, containing his resignation, and the reasons why he could no longer remain in the Ministry. lie states, that in compliance with his Majesty's commands, he had attended the Congress at Verona—that after having obtained the con,ent of the continental part of the alliance, he returned to l'aris, not only as the Minister of the King, hut, in a certain sense, as the representative of that alliance— that the note which had been rejected contained the view which he had engaged at Verona to support ; and that having thus failed in convincing his Ma jesty of its wisdom, he would be betraying the confi dence reposed in him by his Majesty's august Allies if he continued in a situation where he could not fulfil the understanding to which they had mutually come. his Majesty received this paper, and said he would take its contents into his consideration. In the course of the evening he sent a message to the Minis ter, informing him that he accepted of his resignation. The Council did not break up till about four o'clock, having sat three hours. M. Pozzo di Borgo, who was waiting to hear the result, is reported to have been extremely enraged at the defeat of the war party. The note or declaration of the Emperor of Russia, who, one would think, has the least interest in what happened south of the Pyrennees, is stated, on the best authority, to be the most violent. The Czar roundly tells the Government of Spain, that unless it immedi ately effect such and such specific changes in its Con stitution as he points out, he will immediately recall his Ambassador and prohibit all intercourse between his empire and the Peninsula, This, it must be con fessed, is an alarming threat, and the only consolation which the subjects of his Catholic Majesty can enjoy under it, if realised, is, that they can dispense with the furs of Siberia, and can find employment for their ships without sending them to the White or the Black Sea. The coldness with which the Emperor, though professed admirer of literary eminence, received M. de Chateaubriand at Congress, arose from his know ledge that the able expounder of the Constitutional Charter or France did not see how the Spanish Con stitution could be improved by the a d op ti on o f changes dictated by the master of slaves. The eleva tion of this respectable Ambassador to the Ministry, on the very grounds which occasioned the Emperor's displeasure, is not likely to convert him into a fa vontite with Russia. M. de Chateaubliand has not yet acceptcJ of the 'vacant place in the Cabinet. , This delay k ascribed to his delicacy. He wishes tit see same provisloseade for M. de Montmorency before he, turns him out of his hotel. It is said tha t he proposed the'sinectire.of Grand Veneur , vacant. since the death of the Duke of - Richelieu, but - M. de Val* mused to interfere,' saying' that the appointment was not Ministerial, but depended on the Kluz, to whose choke he would 'leave it. There is tier doubt ibat M. tie Chatektuhriand will be Minister. The Ambassadors of the Allied Cabinets are enraged at, ibis. change. The warlike Ministers; who have been doing such things on the frontier remain in—not changing their place, but their opinion. PARTS, DECEMBER 27. • • FILO)/ THE MUNITEUR. ROYAL ORDONNANCE. " Loins, &c. " having accepted the resignation offered to es by our cousin the Duke Mathieu de Montmorency, of his functionaof Minister Secretary of State for the Department of Foreign Affars, " We have ordered and do order as follows: " 1. The President of our Council of Ministers shall be charged ad interim, with the office of Foreign Affairs. Y. The President of our Council of Ministers is charged with the execution of the present Ordonnance. " Given at Pais, Dec. 95. (Signed) " LOUIS. (Countersigned) " JII. DE VILLELP., ". President of the Council of Ministers." We hasten to give to the Public the first authentic document which it has been possible to communicate since the opening of the Congress. So many interests are connected with the determi nations of the different Cabinets on this great o:ca sion, that it is of importance to make them known as soon as they ate definitively adopted. THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL- 01 MINISTERS, CHARGED AD INTERIM WITH THE DEPARTMENT FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS, TO THE COUNT DE LA GARDE, HIS MAJESTY'S MINISTER AT MADRID. " M. LE COMTE—As your political situation may be changed, in consequence of the resolutions adopted at Verona, Ft ench candour requires that you should be directed to make known the views of the Govern ment of his Most Christian Majesty to the Govern mentof his Catholic Majesty. • " Since the revolution which took place in Spain in April, 1820, France, notwithstanding the dangers which that revolution presented for her , carefully endeavoured to draw close the bonds which unite the two Kings, and to maintain the relations which exist between the two nations. " But the influence under which the changes in the' Spanish Monarchy were brought about, has become more powerful in consequence of the very results of these changes, as it was easy to be foreseen. " A Constitution, which King Ferdinand on re suming the Crown neither recognized nor accepted, was imposed on him by a military insurrection. The natural consequence of this transaction has been, that each dissatisfied Spaniard considers himself autho rised to seek, by the same means, the establishment of an order of things more in harmony with his opi nions and principles. The employment of force has created the right of force. " Hence the movements of the Guards at Madrid, and the appearance of armed. corps iii different parts of Spain. The provinses bordering on France have been chiefly the theatre of the civil war. Thus it has become necessary for France to protect herself from this state of disorder in the Peninsula. The events which have occurred since the establishment of an Army of Observation at the foot of the Pysennees, have sufficiently justified the foresight of hi s Ma jesty's Government. " Meanwhile the Congress, which since last year had been looked to for deciding on the affairs of Italy, assembled at Verona. o As an integral part of this Congress, France was hound to explain herself with respect to the arma ments to which she had been compelled to have re course, and to the manner in which she might even tually employ them. The precautions of Fiance ap peared just to her allies, and the Continental Powers adopted the resolution of uniting with her to aid her (if there ever should be occasion) in maintaining her dignity and tranquillity. " France would be satisfied- with a resolution at once so benevolent and so honourable with respect to her ; but Austtia, Prussia, and Russia, judged it ne cessary to add to the particular act of alliance a ma nifestation of their sentiments. Diplomatic notes are for that purpose addressed by these three Powers to their respective Ministers at Madrid, who will com municate them to the Spanish Government, and in their ulterior conduct follow the orders which they shall have received from their Courts. " For your part, M. le Comte, in giving these ex planations to the Cabinet of Madrid, you will de clare to it that his Majesty's Government is inti mately united with its allies in the firm resolution to repel by every means revolutionary principles and movements; that it equally concurs with its allies in the wishes which they form, that a remedy may be found by the noble Spanish nation itself, for these evils—evils which are of a nature to disturb the Go vernments of Europe, and to impose on them pre cautions which always must be painful. " You will, in particular, take care to make known that the people of the Peninsula, restored to tran quillity, will find in their neighbours faithful and sincere friends. You will, therefore, give to the Ca binet of Madrid, the assurance that the succours of every kind which France can dispose of in favour of Spain will always be offered to her for the purpose of assuring her happiness, and increasing her pro sperity ; but you will at the same time declare, that France will in no respect relax the preservatory mea sures which she has adopted, while Spain continues to be torn by factions. His Majesty's Government will not even hesitate to recal you from Madrid, and to seek guarantees in more efficacious measures, if its essential interests continue to be compromised, and if it lose the hope of an amelioration, which it takes a pleasure in expecting from the sentiments which have so long united Spaniards and Frenchmen in love for their Kings, and for a is ise liberty. 46 Such are, M. Le Conite, the instructions which the King has ordered me to submit to you, at the moment in which the notes of the Cabinets of Vienna, Berlin, and St. Petersburgh, are about to Le pre salted to the Cabinet of Madrid. These instructions - • will serve to make known to-you the itss' qrs and' the detetmination of the French Government on this graite.ooenrrence. .• ip , _ 1 " You are authorised torifinunicate th kV ispatth, and to furnish a copy of it if tit be denianded.

This forenoon we received a German Mail, bring ing Papers to the 18th instant.

Several changes have taken place in the Public Offices at Constantinople. The account of the destruction of the Turkish fleet, at Tenedos, is confirmed. The fol lowing details are from the Austrian Observer, of the I7th instant. VIENNA, DECEMBER 17. Accounts have been received from Constantinople of the 25th ult. The new Grand Vizier, Abdallah Pacha, found an opportunity, immediately after his elevation to that dignity, to shew his zeal in the performance of his duty. At a fire which broke out on the 11th November in the Jewish suburb Chupskoi, Abdallah so greatly exerted himself in encouraging the workmen by dis tributing money, and by his own example, that the fury of the flames was checked within two hours. The Grand Vizier, however, brought on himself a pretty serious indisposition. The command of the troops on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus, hitherto under Abdallah, has been given to Ibrahim Pacha, the Kiaja of Mehmed Pacha, who commands the corps of observation at Bajukdere. During the whole time perfect tranquillity and order prevailed in the capital, and the environs, ex• cept that in some quarters bands of armed thieves committed some depredations, which were; however, soon put a stop to by the vigilance of the Police. The sanguinary scenes and other great disorders, so circumstantially related in pretended letters from Constantinople of the 10th and 11th of November, inserted in German Journals, were therefore as un known in Constantinople itself as the scenes of inhn man cruelty and terror related in No. 297 of the AllA,Eancine Zeit ling (3lth of October), which were said to have taken place in August, in the Island of Cyprus, according to a letter from Cyprus, of 15th August, said to have been received at Trieste, by way of Corfu. As all the accounts from Cyprus, which come down to the 21st September, do not contain the j slightest allusion to any such events, this account also' turns out to be a pure fiction.)—Note of Austrian Obs. No accounts have lately been received from Asia,' j respecting the progress of the Persian arms. The Commanders of the Ottoman troops about Erzerum are, with the greater part of their forces, in that city, which the Persians have approached without having attempted anything serious against it. The same is the case in the environs of Bagdad. On the other hand, a far more dangerous enemy ; namely, that desolating contagion, known by the name of the cholera morbus, which has hitherto been feared only in the countries farther to the East, has already ad vanced far into the Asiatic provinces of Turkey, and occasioned such a mortality in Mardira and Urfa, that great apprehensions began to be entertained even at Aleppo, from the rapid progress of this new visitation. Acaording to accotmts from Corfu, the Turks suc ceeded in throwing a hundred horse-loads of provi -sions into Napoli di Romania, by an able manoeuvre, by which the Gteck corps blockading that closely pressed fortress se ft deceived. .. . .. • • The accounts of the Turkish fleet are less favour able; it appears to have again suffered severely, partly Iby the unskilfulness of its Commanders, and partly by the boldness of the enemy. So much is certain, that, on the 13th of November, one ship of. the line was destroyed off Tenedos by Greek fire-ships,' and a frigate and, some corvettes stranded in a storm on the coast near Tchesme. The remaining vessels, more or less damaged, have retreated into - the Dardanelles. —The GoVernment immediately took the most active measures to send the necessary relief to the fleet.— 'The Intendant of the Arsenal, Iladschi Said Effendi; and the former Captain of the Port, Carciotti—an experienced Algerine seaman, were scut, With,:.eve..ll other Officers of the Admirakr. to the Dardanelles; and have been followed by several vessels from thi arsenal with naval stores.

The French Palxers.of Frida.y.4ring full confirmA; tion of the dismissal, or resignation, of M. de Mosr MORENCY F and the pacific decision of the French Cabinet, as announced in the STAR of Saturday.-L:. ' The Moniteur of Friday contains a Royal Ordonnanci announcing the resignation of the War Minister; who, it is 'expected, will be succeeded by Viscount CHATEAUBRIAND, the pacific Envoy to Verona; foi France had two strings to her bow at the Ccogress--. a Minister ready to involve his country in war at all risks, and another a sort of go-between, who repre sented the more temperate part of the French Cabinet. To shew how complete the triumph of the paciiic party has been, it is only necessary to observe o ;at the portfolio of the advocate for war has, ad int‘!)-iy, t , been given to M. de VILL*LE, the streauons friend of peace. As soon as the French Cabinet had decided on the policy to be observed towards Spain, M. de VtrA.ELE addressed a note to the French Minister at Madrid. This important document, though not alto gether unequivocal, is certainly pacific. It demands nothing,' mentions no changes, and does not even speak of the protection necessai y for the floral Va mity-of Spain ; but merely confines itself to a demand for ameliorations necessary to guarantee the interests of France. The people of the Peninsula are assured that, when restored to, tranquillity, they will find in the French Government true and sincere friends; and as nothing but the hope of French assiaance has pert the rebellion alive, there is no doubt that it w ill soon be wholly suppressed. The most equivocal part of this Note is where France offers to the Cabinet of Madrid assistance of all kinds, for the purpose of assuring the happiness and increasing the prosperity of Spain. Now as the existing Cabinet of Madrid is Constitutinnal, and the happiness of Spain depends on the extermination e.f the rebellion. it might be supposed that 1:1 ai.ce offered her assistance for that purpose. Ti.is is, basa -1 ever, too much to expect.; but it is still more unlike?! that the French Minister, by this offer, means it ta refer to assistance to the Army of the Faith, whina avowed object is to.overturn that very Gore' nmea to whom the offer of assistance is made. This equivocal offer of assistance to Spain, Las been the subject of much comMent in roii, it has been generally considei ed as refe:' ing ts, utaa America, and that it means, iti.Spain accapts the French Charter, France will aid Svnin to rec,nquer a patt of America, and to place a IlounFoe cu the throne of Mexico instead of the Emperor hionrone. It would be useless now to inquire as to the ciut:e which has occasioned so sudden and- so iriloortinit change in the French Cabinet ; hut it is not a hittla remarkable, that M. de Mos rNrortmeev should hav•! been rewarded with Dukedom for advocating - war at Vetona, and dismissed for vindicating the S'Arle policy in the French Cabinet. The paciac decision of the French Govermnent is as gratifying to the lovers of peace, as it must be beneficial to Spain.— The remains of insurrection, no longer fed by Franca, will soon be extinguished. That tine coniltry r.ay now, therefore, apply itself to the improvement of its own internal affairs. The official documents, which are the only article; of interest in the French Papers of Friday, will be found in a preceding column. Bayonne Papers to the 23d inst. have been receive:!. The Junta of Navarre had arrived in that city, flying before General TORRIJOS. The news from Catalonia confirms the success of MINA, but the bands in his rear are still too nume rous, and we see that the garrisons of Cervera, Vka, Cordova, and Manresa, are continually engaged with them. The report of the marriage of his MAJESTY to a fair subject, gains more and more ground every day. It was pretty generally, but erroneously, sup that the Royal Marriage Act restrained the reign, as well as the rest of the Royal Family, from marrying a subject. his MAJESTY is, however, un restrained by any law from marrying whom he chooses; but another question arises—whether he could marry without the consent of Parliament?— This question will be solved differently, according to the degree of extension given to the maxim that the Sovereign can only act by the advice of responsible Ministers. The practice of looking abroad for wives for our Sovereigns, though uninterrupted since tl.-! reign of lletuty the Eighth, has little in its favotn, while much may be said against it. " L'e marry our kings and Queens (as Mr. Wm:mu:once rb served) contrary to the law of Goo and of nature." — One of the evils attendant on these marriages ‘vit:, foreigners is, that as all the foreign Princes are mo:c or less despotic, their families cannot fail to be imbnLA with the maxims received and acted on at t 11,:•.• Courts, and as that part of our education v receive from our mothers, has necessarily gre:a i••• fluence on our future lives, the children of our are exposed to the danger of receiving improper, cause unconstitutional, lessons in their infancy. 's'. , have no doubt that the arnourcement of a (Jeri:. Lion from the established practice, would be li ceived. by the public in general with great 5:r...• faction, it the match appeared in other reap , t a si:itable one; that is to say, likely to be ii . .:- ducive to the happiness of tl.e patties then:selr , and to the promotion of the interests of the count'''. It has sometin,es been supposed that the propo'' elevation of the a g.iter of any subject, WOref ahed in rank, to the Throne, would exei:e the ji..• lousy of the lest of the Aristoc:acv, and tender hostile to the design. lint this we take to be an ; ginsu y danger. The popularity of the act, and ;: . : 1 invidious nature of any attempt to force the either to remain Unmarried or to marry contraiy the law of Goo and of nature.tyould ensure t`. -11.••• cess of any proposition on the slitlect ra I'.er • nie..t I ;1
