The Marquis Adtaldo Atkalde, and the Advocate Tommuo Felici, a ppeared on the Slst of Octobe r last, before the Chancery of the Civil Tribunal of the first instance at Pesaro, there to make a declaration from which it results : . 1 That, by an Act of the Sd of August last, dated at London, they have been n amed by the deceased Caroline Queen of England, her trustees (hellion ciaires) for all the property which she possessed in Italy, with the obligation to apply-it in the man ner which she should herself direct by any act what"- ever signed by her hand. “ That the death of Queen Caroline having taken place on the 7th of the same month, the will has been executed for the benefit of those who had a right to it. • ec That having learnt that by a separate act, drawn up and signed in the presence of William Fox, and of Hattebs, notaries of London, w ho have preserved the minute of it, the said decea sed Queen of England has determined how the above-mentioned property is to be applied, paid, and employed, and the said Sieurs Marquis Antaldo Antalde, and the Advocate Tommaso Ferod, not seeing good to retain the qua lity given to them of trustees, or any other quality depending on the same, they do by this present de claration renounce the quality hereto above speci fied ; urgently demanding that their declaration be received and brought to the knowledge of the Public, by all possible means, and even by insertion in fo reign Journals, to, Serve as a guide to all those who may bale any title or claim to the property left by the deceased Queen." Bergarni continues to live at Pesaro, where the chase is his favourite diversion. He has in his stables thirty very fine horses. His face is shadowed with very thick whiskers; his huntsmen and servants have adopted the same fashion. He has lately been at St. Marino, where he has had himself registered among the Citizens of that Republic.—Journal de Frantfort, December 4 and 5. FRANKFORT, DECEMBER 6. We expect every moment the courier which will bring letters fiom Constantinople of the 10th No vember. Indeed accounts say, that the Divan have not yet given any written answer to the Russian Ultimatum. ZANTE, NOVEMBER 4. It appears that Tripolizza is taken. The following is the substance of the Greek account of that affair : .—ln September, the Turks in Tripolizza, being- desti ta e of provisions and closely besieged by the Greeks, entered into a capitulation to surrender the place on condition of their lives being spared. Before the treaty was carried into effect, the Turks heard of the arrival of their fleet off the coast of the Morea, on which they refused to capitulate, and fighting re commenced. No assistance, however, being sent to Tripolizza, and the Greeks being enraged at the non fulfilment of the treaty, attacked the plate in great force, and carried it by storm, putting men, women, nd children to the sword. Only 1400 Albanian Turks were spared, who, it appears, were in the inte rest of.the Greeks. Mustafa - Bey of Patras, Camil Rey of Corinth, and the Kaijah Bey of Mahomet Pacha, were made prisoners . 'The number of Turks bearing arms who were put to death was 7000 or 8000. The treasure of Tripolizza was immense.— The Greeks say the Turks had put to death the Archbishop of Monembasia, and four Bishops ; also all the Greek Patriarchs. On leaving Tripolizza, the Greek forces advanced to Patras, under the command of Germano and Ypsi lanti, where they bad no sooner arrived than L'suf Paella threw up the command, and retired with his own troops to the Castle of Romelia, the Patras Turks retired to the Castle of the Morea, and the Suliots actually took possession of Patras, and then threw themselves into the citadel, to the number of 1,500 men, swearing to defend it with their lives. —The Greeks, seeing the Turks retreat, entered the town; the Suliots set the houses on fire, and only a few remained : they were bombarding the others from the Castle, and had thrown several bombs. NOVIIMBIR 9.—The Greeks entered Patras on Sa turday last; bet the Turks all retired to the Castle, and being well provided with provisions, will pro bably hold out long. The Pacha, and about two thirds of the garrison, had already retreated to the Morea Castle, and Lepanto ; so that only about 2000 or 3000 remain at Patras,chiefly Suliots. The Turks, set fire to the town in all directions. The island of Bombay is at present in a very un healthy state. For many weeks the cholera niorbus raged there with fatal violence, consigning many vic tims to an untimely grave. The young and healthy were frequently the objects of its most violent attacks, and a few bouts sufficed to number the most vigorous who were thus affected with the dead. Temperance was found the best preventive. Those who were most abstemious commonly escaped, while those who were imprudent enough to indulge in what is called "free living," were cut off. When the last accounts came away, the violence of the disorder bad abated, but the sickness had by no means subsided. Mr. PaiLurs, to whom the Public is indebted for the only History gf Fruits hitherto published, is now engaged in preparing a History of Cultivated Vegetables, whi c h is to be dedicated by permission to his Marini. In this Work, the object of the Author, we understand, has been to render the knowledge of Plants entertaining and useful, not only to twists, but but to those who have hitherto deemed it a difficult and uninteresting science. He has endeavoured to ascertain of what countries the Vegetables now cultivated, are natives, the earliest account of their cultivation, and how far they have ; a pp rova l by attention, or degenerated by neglect; also, the various uses made of them by the Ancients, as well as the Moderns of dif ferent Countries. The Medicinal and Chemical Trilbies of Ve- getables, being of The greatest importance, will be partleuledy attended to, and the accounts given of them. collected with the utmost care from the reports of the most eminent Physicians et every age. The Etymology, Natural Mom Pbmioiogy, cad Anatomy of the Plants, are tram eke remarks of the most in. gedous Students of the Vegetable World, as well as frees the `theersonal observations. In Court of Chancery, Dublin, on Friday lag Mr. PLUNKETT was Counsel for a Gentleman, for whom he claimed the commiseration of - the Court on account of his extreme age, 74 years. A Lawyer op posed to him, replied, " But you have forgotten to state, Mr. Plunkett, that your client married, within these few months, a lady considerably under twenty years of age." " Then,' remarked Mr. FRAMES, sc Mr. Plun ket t should not rely upon the age of his client, for it appears that, night an d y, he hasped at his side 17 THE EVENING STAR.

The Noble Marquis is universally acknowledged to possess splendid talents, and the characteristic of his government and admi nistration is known to be vigour. The sentiments of . his Lordship in regard to Ireland are also known to be favourable to a better system than has been pur sued towards that country ; and, were he to be unfet tered in the exercise of his talents while governing that Kingdom, we should feel great confidence that most important ameliorations would take place; but, under all the circumstancesme cannot anticipate more than that the vigour of his Viceroyalty will be guided by prudence, and, we trust, tempered with mercy. The Local Authorities in Ireland appear now to have recovered from their panic, and to be employing themselves actively in preserving order ; and; in the county of Carlow, some of the Gentlemen ate said to have in contemplation a measure which will do more towards restoring tranquillity than legions of troops, seconded by the Insurrection Act and the Yeomanry. This is to reduce the nets to the occupying tenants who hold dear ground ; but not to Middle-men. Were this plan universal in Ireland—the industry of the far mer would be unfettered—the middleman must either resign in favour of the tenant, or occupy the ground himself—the di.tresses of the peasantry would be al leviated, and employment, the great antidote to crime, would be more abundant. Such conduct as this, on the pat t of the great Landholders and Gentlemen of Ireland, would be the best welcome that could pos. sibly be given to its uew Government. The French Papers of Tuesday last contain no in formation relative to the state of parties in the Cham ber of Deputies ; and they are almost equally barren of every other species of intelligence. The Journal des Debate has a long article, which is stated to be a private letter from Madrid ; but it is not of so late a date as our previous news from that capital, nor does it furnish us with any better means of judging of the real situation of Spain, although it includes a 'brochure, which has been circulated at Madrid, en titled—" The Country in Danger; or, Liberty in the pangs of Death." These Papers contain some further accounts from the lonian Islands, which confirm those previously received, relative to the progress ofthe insurrection, which, in Zante and Cerigo, appears to be general. Martial law has been put in force in both these islands, and in Zante several of the insurgents (for so we presume they will be called) wire killed or made prisoners. An article horn Corfu of the 2d November, in the Journal des Debate, states that the principal cause of the insurrection in Zante was, that the English had let the Turks have provisions very cheap which they had previously refused to the Greeks, who had offered a much higher price for them. No doubt such a circumstance mast have irritated the Zanteotes, whose deadly hatred of the Turks and sympathy for their brethren who are making so noble a stand against thek oppressors, must have made them feel in dignant at such an unnatural and impolitic preference. The evils under which the people in the lonian Islands groan, are, however, mach deeper rooted ; and the system of government pursued by the Eng lish towards them, has long been a reproach on our; national character. The mode of exacting an unpo pular duty, not long siace, threw the Island of Santa Maurs into open revolt ; and now we are told that the spirit of insurrection pervades the whole of the Islands. It is not surprising that the flame raging IS dle 'Neighbouring Continent should spread itself to, a people who believe that they have equal wrongs to ruckus; but whether they may be equally fortunate or not, will for the present, perhaps, depend on the conduct of the British Government towards them. The following are the ouly articles of intelligence in the French Papers worth extracting : PARIS, DZCIEMBER 11. Yesterday afternoon, the King transacted business wit) she Dike de Richelieu. A great number of Ge- "~=i=ce — : " nerals were presented to the King ; and at eight' o'clock in the evening, his Majesty received Ladies and Gentlemen.

French Funds, December 10, Five per Cents. 88E NAPLES, DECEMBER 26. On the morning of the 22d inst. about half-past two o'clock, we had a slight shock of an earthquake, which continued about eighteen seconds. The motion was in the direction from east to west. The sky was charged with clouds, and the atmosphere perfectly calm. NUREMBERG, DECEMBER 4. An article from the frontiers of Italy, dated the 29th ult. says, the fort of Arm is still in the power of the. Turks, although it is narrowly blockaded by the Soliots. Prevesa and Parga have also Turkish gar risons; the attacks made on the two latter places have been repulsed. The Central Government of the Greeks and Alba nians has at length been formed at Suli. The su perior authority rests with the Senate. Maurocordato has been named President, with power not only inthe civil government, but also for the direction of mili tary affairs. Churschid Pacha has received some reinforcements which, it is reported, will enable him to act on the offensive. Ali Pacha has not quitted the citadel of Joannina. He equally defies both Turks and Greeks. Dutch Mails to the 13th instant, and Hamburgh Mails to the Bth, reached us this forenoon. The fol lowing are extracts : WARSAW, NOVEMBER eo. Accounts from Kowno say, that the march of Rus sian troops to the South still continues. ST. PETERSBURGH,.NOVEMBER 21. By an Ukase addressed to the Senate, his Majesty the Emperor has commanded the establishment of a Russian General Consulate in Persia. The annual expenditure for the establishment is fixed at 2300 Dutch ducats. The Councillor of &ate, Wazenko, front the Foreign Department, is appointed Consul- General, with a salary of 1250 ducats per annum.— All the Officers of the Consulate receive a year's sa lary to defray the expenses of their journey. HAMBURoII, DECEMBER 7. We communicate the following particulars from let ten that have been received here from Constantinople: OCTOBER 26.—The Russian ships continue to pass freely. The Greeks living in this country are better treated by the Authorities ; and the of the pulace towards them has rather abated. There lras been no public execution for this fortnight. The in vasion of the Persians is confirmed. It is thought they have taken Bagdad, as well as Tvan and To pralkali, in Armenia ; and besiege Kars and Erze rum, the only defences of the Empire on that side. OCTOBER 29.—The force of the Persians is esti mated at 150,000 men. It is not supposed that Er zerum can hold out long. This war has been made known to the people by a Firman of the Sultan. OCTOBER 30.—important intelligence is said to have been received from St. Petersburgh, which may lead to an amicable arrangement between the two Powers. The Porte continues to behave with the same arrogance towards the Christian Powers. It pretends not to attach much importance to the Per sian war. NOVIMBER 2.—lt is certain that dispatches have been received by the Porte direct from St. Peters burgh, and others express from Vienna, by the Im perial Internuncio. The day before yesterday a Ge neral Council was held of all the great Officers of , the Empire. The Reis Effendi was dismissed yes terday and sent into exile to Asia. Some believe that this is only a covert manner of sending a negotiator to treat with the Persians. The Maronites have made an alliance with the Druses; the Wichabites have recommenced their incursions; the greater part of Syria and Arabia is in an unsettled state. Ali Pacha still holds out in Joannina—the Pacha of Scutari, with his Albanians, undertakes nothing against him. Serbia is reported to be in insurrection. It is af firmed, that after the perfidious execution of some of their Chiefs, the Pacha sent from hence has been cut telpiecei by them, together with his attendants. An army of 60,000 men, distinct from the army of the Danube, which was to march to Livadia, will be de tained by this insurrection. Great uneasiness is en tertained respecting the answer which the Sultan will give to the ultimatum of Russia. The situation of the Turks is extremely critical. The Ministers of the Porte have no power : all the reports are made to the chief favourite, Haleb Effendi, who receives the commands of the Sovereign, and he is, unhappily arrogant, obstinate, fanatical, cruel, and covetous. The Ambassadors of all the European Powers, without exception, have for some time past signified to the Porte that it must hasten to accede to the terms of Russia, otherwise it cannot expect any support from their Sovereigns. M. Zea had demanded au audience of the Grand Vizier, and commenced negotiations toot tem al da an audience of the Sultan, without being obliged t o give the usual presents. This has been c a crazted by an intrigue, and the audience has not taken glace. People have a most formidable idea of the force of lim ; sia, and this opinion having established itself among the people, may greatly diminish their courage b e resist, in case of war. Armenia will be the theatres/ greatevents. More prudent, and more submissive this the Greeks, the Armenians are, however, eqUally. G ila . tic. Christians, living in the midst of NI ussul mem th „ will not immediately expose themselve s to d aater ' . but would certainly have less to object to the p ee . sians than to the Turks ; and if the illterVeatin n o f Russia should insure their political existence as a tn. tion, they would probably embrace with eage rness the opportunity to shake off the yoke. They are rich, very industrious, numerous, and robust, en d , therefore, might be very troublesome to this Gov ern , ment. According as the Persians conduct the m , selves in Armenia, they might secure themselve s a very fine position in that country. Th e c urdisi tribes are always on the side of the conqueror, to t t i,, sake of plunder. This Empire is so ill-directe,4, to embarrassed within and without, that one milt most doubt whether a war with Russia is neces sary to lead it to ruin. From the preceding statements, received from p o d authority, it appears that the great assembh of Li. t Divan, on the 31st of October, was for debating the Russian's proposals ; whence we may judge sk x credit is dAe to the accounts of the 27th, received b r way of Augsburg, stating them to have been iejecta HAMBURGH, DECEMBER 4.
