Sir CHARLES STUART, OUT Ambassador at Paris, received, on Thursday night, dispatches from the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, announcing that the KING will not visit Paris, but proceed directly from, Hano ver to London. On the following morning his Er cellency had a private audience of his Majesty, Louts XVIII. when he communicated the intelligence which be had received. It appears from this, that it had, at one time, been actually our SOVEREIGN'S intention • to take Paris on his way home. The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordinance, giving effect to several Papal hi iefs for the immediate in stallation of the Archbishops of AVIGNON, RHEIMS, and SENS; and the Bishops Of CTIARTEF.S, PERI GOSUX, NISDIES, and LucoN. A private letter from Madrid, dated October 15, and written at the moment of the post leaving, says -44 We have received official news, that the contagious malady has manifested itself at Murcia and at Ali cant ; and that at Valencia, all the gates of the city, with the exception of one only, were shut, as a mea sure of precaution. The greatest desolation reigned in that fine Province, the most populous of Spain. In general the accounts are most distressing. Their only hope is now in the approach of winter, which may, perhaps, arrest the progress of the evil. Our troops begin to have some sick, in consequence of the fatiguing service in which they are engaged." A letter from Malaga, of the 10th October, re ceived by a commercial house, states, that the fears which existed of the appearance of the yellow fever in that place bad subsided ; but that they were again revived by a report that there were some persons in the city ill of the malady.

A Mail arrived from Lisbon this forenoon, with Papers to the 18th inst. • The Cortes continue their sittings, but nothing of importance has come under their consideration. For some days past the prisons of the Inquisition have been thrown open to the public at Evora and Lisbon, the Officers or Guards being ordered to ex plain the uses of the several apartments, and of the instruments which they contain. Great numbers of persons have been to view them. We yesterday briefly mentioned the receipt of let , ters from Constantinople to the 26th, and from Smyrna to the 18th ult. which throw entire discredit on the warlike accounts contained in the Continental Papers. The letters from the Turkish capital begin by stating that the latest intelligence from the Motea is unfavourable to the interests of the Turks in that quarter. They then mention the surrender of Napoli de Malvosin, Novarin, and one or two other fortresses, with which cur Readers are already acquainted• They notice, however, a fact not so well known, and which is as novel in modern warfare, as it is revolt ing from its deep atrocity. The Turkish garrisons, after having endured all the extremes of famine, had silt rendered by capitulation, which has in every in stance been violated, the prisoners having been put to the sword in the most cold-blooded manner, not withstanding the most solemn engagements that their lives should be spared. However, the Greek Officers, who had served in the Russian Army, such as CAN• TAGUZINE and YPSILANTI, did not approve of those proceedings, and it was always in their absence, and against their declared wishes that they took place. These letters explain the celebrated Hatti-Shirriff, of which we published yesterday, from the Brussels Papers, a pretended copy. It is actually true 'that this important Inman has been published, but with out containing a single allusion to Russia. The name of that Power is not once mentioned in it, nor is the least reference, direct or indirect, made to the diffe rences between the two States. The following is sup posed to be the cause of its appearance: the Janis saries, who were employed in . Moldavia and Wal lachia, have, since their departure- from those Pro vinces, displayed strong symptoms of insubordina tion, and even a disposition to perform one of rose frightful acts, which have been characterized as the correctives of tyranny in the East. The ostensible motive of their dissatisfaction is the encampment of a largc body of Asiatic troops in the vicinity of Con stantinople, whom they suspect, probably with jus t;zes of being kept there as a check upon themselves. —Tice Sultan, who is a Prince of great firmness and energy, appears determined to try the experiment, which has proved fatal to many of his predecessors, that of breaking the formidable power of the Janis saries, and extinguishing the corps altogether. He is therefore supposed to have published the Finnan, ea joining the Ttuks to arm themselves, that by means of this general armament, he might carry his pur pose inm effect. His Highness seems to think that an armed people are the best check upon a licentious soldiery. It is even suspected that a project of a deeper and blacker die, than the disbandment of the Janissaries is in contemplation. The fate of the Al banians at Bucharest, who were surrounded by Asiatic troops, and cut to pieces, for having evinced a dispo sition to play off the pranks of the Janissaries, coun tenances this opinion; and it is surmised that some terrible blow of a similar kind is meditated against the refractory Janissaries. The Asiatic troops near the Capital amount to about 50,000 men, and are, commanded by an Officer (the Pacha of Bursa), who enjoys in a high degree, and is understood to merit, the confidence of the Porte. Between these troops and the Janissaries the utmost antipathy is said to prevail ; and it is not improbable but the Sultan will take 'advantage of those circumstances in order to rid himself and the Empire of the apprehensions which the Janissaries inspire. It was against them, and not against Russia, that theHatti-Shirriff was directed. At Constantinople, the fears of a rupture were less than ever. A report, which obtained great credit, prevailed there, and which, if the facts it Awed Were true, would justify the most sanguine speculations in favour of the continuance of peace. According to this report, the Porte had come to a definitive reso lution of withdrawing its troops from Moldavia and Wallachia, and leaving them to be governed by their own laws and functionaries. It is even confidently asserted, that the Divan would proceed immediately to the nomination of tWo Hospodars ; and that everything would be replaced in the same state as it was before the troubles. The following is an interesting extract of a letter from Constantinople, dated September " I have no doubt you are already sufficiently well informed of the present state of Turkish affairs. In Moldavia and Wallachia, everything is at an end: things is that quarter appear to have taken a peace able turn. " In the Morea the Greeks appear to succeed better : almost all the strong holds are in their possession : much will depend on the result of a battle that is ex pected to take place daily between the fleets. If the Greeks are victorious, which I think very possible, the independence of the Morea and the islands of the Archipelago will be the consequence; if, on the con trary, the Greek fleet is destroyed, it will put an end to every chance of success on their part. Constanti nople has been very quiet for some time past; but the Turks have again begun to stab and plunder. I hope that it will soon be put a stop to. The whole Turk ish population are armed We swords and pistoh and al ' and fresh orders are issued every few days, stating, that any person that is found in arms will be severely punished. The Porte, I believe, is afraid of its own people, and the meaning of the strict orders for arm ing is, that the higher orders may, in case of need, be able to defend themselves against the rabble. More than ever discontents have shewn themselves among the Janissaries. " Maorocordato, and two of the sons of the Prince Caritza, are arrived in the Morea, from the Continent of Italy, with thirty military and engineer Officers, and a vessel load of arms and ammunition, for the Greeks. Joanina is still in possession of Ali Pacha, and he is reported to be gaining force daily : he is supposed to have been one of the prime movers of the Greek Rebellion. Winter is close at hand ; there fore, if something is not done very soon, things will remain the same till the ensuing spring, during which time the Greeks will have plenty of time to train, and consequently become more formidable. The Turks sit pulling their beards, without having taken one effectual step to check them—so much fur politics ! " No business is doing ; everybody ruined, fled, or beheaded. The Apothecary, Frederico Gavrina, is among the latter; his son will continue the business. He was put to death, because a Greek who occupied a floor of his house (by a separate entrance) had re presented a Play, the subject of which was the resto ration of the Greeks; he was therefore accused by the Government of having known the fact, and not giving them notice. 44 You can hardly imagine the anxious state we have been in for some months past ; now things are better ; but if the Greeks gain any new success, I am afraid we shall have the sames scenes over again.— Many lies and much exaggeration have appeared in the Newspapers." The lonian Islands, but particularly Corfu, have for a considerable time exhibited a scene of severity, complaint, recrimination, and punishment: at pre sent, however, the state of Corfu appears most de plorable. The adv ices yesterday from the Medi terranean state that the popular feeling against the English Admtnistration there is little short of rage. . The sanguinary Proclamations prohibiting all aiding or abetting of the Insurgent Greeks against the Turks under pain of death, instead c.f operating in terrorear, had provoked a daring and reckless system of contraband intercourse with the Morea and Archi pelago. The Government, on the other hand., bas , condemned to death six of the inhabitants of Corfu, and twenty three to banishment, for viola:ions of thq prohibition. The families and friends of the convicts have made a solemn appeal for mercy to tie Ifgh Commissioner, but hitherto without effect: the sen tences, however, were not executed when the last accounts came away. It is to be hoped so awful an exertion of the executive power of the Britith Crown will not take place without the petsonal cognizance of his MAJESTY, in whose humanity those unhappy men may find a refuge from the strife of passion, which, within the island, is likely to prevent justice from being tempered with mercy, in the spirit of British administration. . The Prussian State Gazette, of the 18th, contains the following article, which may be considered as an official Declaration, caused by the report that ltussia had declined the mediation of the Allied Courts, in the affairs of Turkey : a An impudent falsehood, which the malice of a Journalist has invented, and the ignorance of ethers repeated, requires cor rection; and we undertake the task with the more pleasure, as it gives us an opportunity of 'hewing the modern European policy in the fair light in which it will appear to impartial posterity.— The statement says—‘ The Emperor of Russia has declined all intervention of his Iligh Allies in his affairs with the Porte, and declared that he would have free liberty to proceed with the Turks, as he left it to Austria in Italy.:—Each of these words contains a falsehood. To begin with the last sentence, it is well known, that when Austria undertook the pacilication of Italy with her own Army, this enterprise, and all the steps accomp:: Hying it, were undertaken in the most intimate understanding ssith Russia and the other Allies. " When his Majesty, the Emperor of Russia, afterwards re ceived, at Laybach, the first news of the mad attempt of the Moldavians and %Vallachians (Gretks in reliAion, but sot by de-' scent or language), his acute understanding was immediately., sensible of a truth, which has since been proved by incontro vertible facts, viz. that the insurrection in Turkey was the work of the same faction; the enemies of ail order and tranquillity, who, after they had indeed overthrown or shaken several States of Europe by their doctrines of disobedience and wickeduest, and had failed in their plan of dividing the Holy Alliance of the Monarchs by the revolutions In Naples and Piedmont, now as sumed the mask of religion to lead to an event, by which the political interest of all must be endangered. But the Monarchs recognised the hand which had prepared this event for them, and their union was still further confirmed. They mutually en gaged, that the insurrection in Greece, to whatever measures it might in the sequel compel them, should not disunite them. Henceforward there prevailed on this subject the greatest, and certainly an unparalleled openness and coincidence between the Cabinets. " Not a step was taken on the part of the Russian Cabinet 1 without being arranged with it► Allies, without being approved of by them. All have openly done justice to the principles of integrity, humanity, and magnanimity, which the Russian Mo narch has professed and followed,without in the least departing from his dignity. All have giien him the tribute of their ad miration and their gratitude. Every step of die Russian Cabi net has been most energetically supported by the Ministers of the other great Powers at Constantinople. The exertions of these Ambassadors had not the form of a media:km The mediator endeavours to abate the exaggerated demands of two hostile Powers with whom he is on terms of amity, and to produce, by reciprocal concession, a happy reconciliation. This could sot be the case at Constantinople. The demands brought for ward by Russia were recognized by all the Powers as founded on treaties, justice, equity, and magnanimity. As such, they were brought forward consequently as postulate, which could not be in the smallest degree departed from, and on the acceptance or rejection of which peace or war must entirely depend ; and if there was any mediation on the part of the Ambassadors, it was only so far as they made use of the per sonal esteem which they enjoyed with the Sublime Porte, to overcome the prejudices of its Ministers, and to draw their at tendon to the situation of the Ottoman Empire, which had the unanimous sentiments of the five great Powers against it, and no other Allies for it, dun the abcvementioned party and some visionaries in Germany. In fact, the voice of reason has suc ceeded in dispelling the error in which the Divan for some time acted. Authentic accounts from Constantinople state that the Porte, even before the arrival of the Russian ultimatum, lately addressed to it, had accepted individually all the demands con tained in it, so that it might be said that the afair was entirely settled, were there not still some unimportant accessary circum stances, respecting which the consent of Russia and of the other Courts could not yet be obtained. " How, then, should the Emperor Alexander have refused a mediation which was never offered him, and could not be of fered him ? How should he have declared that he would settle the business himself, while, on the contrary, be has caused his last step to be taken through the medium of the Allied Powers? The enemies of tranquillity in Europe may, therefore, renounce the hope which the article that we have refuted. had excited in them. The wretches who, with wicked intentions, have put arms into the hands of the Greeks, and made themselves answer able for the blood which has sowed in the East since March, will have been guilty In vain of so Many crimes.• Advices from Hanover to the 24th inst. fully con firm the previous accounts of his MAJESTY'S entire restoration to health. On the 21st an audience was granted to Prince METTERNICH, who had been sent by the Emperor of AUSTRIA to compliment his MA JEST: on his arrival in his German dominions.
