The conspiracy was to take effect on the 2d of January, and the three-coloured cockade was to be mounted. The King's Lieutenant having re ceived information of the design, drew out, under arms, the battalion of the 29th regiment of the line, which forms the garrison of the place, and proceeded immediately to the barracks to arrest an Adjutant Sub-Officer, who was pointed out as one of the principal agents of this criminal intrigue. Brice, Pe • gulu, Desbordes, and Delacombe, who figured in the conspiracy of the 19th of August, 1820, were also arrested at the moment when they commenced their flight from the town. The guarding of these tour prisoners was provisionally entrusted to the Offi cer who commanded the neighbouring post; but soon after this Officer himself fled along with his pri soners. Three other Officers have also disappeared. One of the individuals arrested was the bearer of five packets of canoodles. On arriving at one of the spares of the town, the Kirtg's Lieutenant fell in with a numerous group, which dispersed on his ap proach, but from the midst of which a pistol-shdt was fired, which struck him in the breast. The cross of St. Louis with which this Officer was decorated resisted the effect of the ball, and it is hoped that the wound will not be mortal. The soldiers have manifested the greatest indignation. Order was com pletely restored long before the departure of the cou rier. The General commanding the Department, the Attorney-General, and the Captain of Gendarmerie, repaired without loss of time to Belfort.—Moniteur. An epidemic malady appeared about the 18th of December last at the Royal Military School of St. Cyr. The Lieutenant-General Commandant of the Sckool caused the most assiduous attention to be paid to the young patients by the Medical Officers of the establishment. He also sent for M. Herminier, first Physician of La Charite, and consulting Physician of the school, and M. Bourdois, Physician to the En fans de France, who approved the treatment which had previously been followed. As soon as the Minister of War was made ac quainted with what had occurred at St. Cyr, his Ex cellency sent thither the Baron Desgenettes, Inspec tor-General of the Service of Health, who, in concert with M. Lemazurier, Physician of the school, visited the sick of the establishment with the mast scrupu lous attention. It results from the reports made to the Minister of War, that the malady ss hich prevails in the Military School is an inflammatory fever, combined in some individuals with an ataxic character. It is in no respect contagious. Professional men have recognized that this epidemy has been occasioned by the humid and warm tempe rature of the atmosphere, the continuance of south west winds, and the extraordinary and almost un heard:of depression of the barometer during several days. The aliments, the beverages, the regimen, and the whole management of the house, were found to be conformable to the strictest rules of health. It is to be presumed that the epidemic will cease as soon as the weather becomes cold and dry. The present season gives reason to hope that the intensity of the malady will progressively diminish. Some speculators have to-day circulated the report, that a banking-house had received from Vienna, by an accelerated conveyance, the assurance that the Porte had finally accepted the Russian ultimatum; but this report may have no other foundation than an Exchane trick. The latest letters from Odessa, a town in the Russian Empire, concur in stating pre cisely the contrary. FRANKFORT, DECEMBER 31. An estafette, art ived here from Vienna, announces that a courier, dispatched on the 13th of December from Constantinople, had brought intelligence there that the Porte had at last accepted the Russian ulti matum, with some slight modifications, the decision of which was left by the Ottoman Government to the judgment of Austria. The Porte, besides,demands that Austria, France, England, and Russia, shall be guarantees of the treaty. Since this news has become known the funds have continued to rise. It is said that tumultuous scenes have again taken *lace at Giesen, between the students and the dis banded soldiers of die regiment which was formerly in garrison in that town, and is now at Worms.— These tumults have even been sanguinary, and have given occasion to an inquiry. ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. Letters from Vienna, written by persons worthy of credit, and dated the 24th, contain the following pas. sage :- 44 Though the metallics experienced some de. pression to-day, well-informed persons pretend that there is not the least probability of war.' The latter part of this news is confirmed by an estafette arrived to-day from Vienna. The estafette left that city on the 25th at midnight, and brought a letter, of which the following are the contents : Virloa, D. 23, MIDNIGHT. " A courier arrived to-day has brought the impor tant intelligence tbat the Turkish Ministry has ac cepted the ultimatum of Russia. This news spread with incredible rapidity, and, notwithstanding the solemn estival of this day, the public funds have had a consider able rise. In the evening it was added that the Grand Seignior accepted the ultimatum on the 19th of December. More precise details ss ill pro bably be received to-morrow." The above news has produced a great sensation in the commercial world here, and the public funds have risen considerably. There are, however, many per sons, among whom are some men of consequence, who put Co faith in the intelligence. A few days more, and we shall know whether the statement is true or not.—Moniteur,from the Frankfort Journal. NAPLES, DECEMBER re. EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER. " The Austrian army remaining here consists of five divisions, forming 36,000 men. The division of Walmoden is stationed in Sicily ; the division of Mohr in the Abruzfi ; the division of Lederer on the fron tiers ; the division of Hesse-Hombourg at Naples the division of Wied in the Province of Molina. La Puglia and the Calabrias are not occupied. " Cardinal Talinizis Ruffo, it is said, is to be ap pointed Minister of Finance. " We have seat 500 men against the band of bri sands who arrested our courier between Itri and Epitafio. The brigands were fifteen in number. The courier had two travellers with him, one of whom, M. Prombella, proprietor at Terracina, was wounded in the attack. They were both carried off to the mountains, and the banditti require a ransom of 20,000 ducats from the relations of M. Prombella. " The King enjoys the best health, add always pre sides in the Council of Ministers." " PARIS, JAINVAIT 5, Viva O'CLOCK rm. PRIVATE I.ETTICR. "There are strong reports in circulation to-day, that the Porte has accepted the Russian ultimatum. I enclose an extract of a letter from Frankfort, which, in addition to what is contained in the Journals of this morning, will put you in possession of the only grounds of the report. The adroit manner in which the peace with Petsi.i is made to tally with the ac ceptance of the ultimatum, would seem to point it outs ,as a Stock-jobbing invention. But the 'acceptance of any ultimatum will now signify nothing, and can have no influence on the decision of the question, whether the Emperor Alexander will visit Constantinople be fore the expiration of the year. " The French Ministers are continuing to recruit their ranks. M. de Chateaubriand has accepted the situation of Ambassador to London, vacant by the resignation of M. de Coxes. Ile had better make haste to his destination, and avoid the discussion of the law on the Periodical Press, which, according to his previous declarations, he must oppose. The Com mission, you will see, has been appointed to examine the project. There can be no doubt of the nature of its report, when its compositicn is considered. Only two Members out of the nine are known to be opposed to Ministers on the question. M. Dorrieux is the only Representative of the left side which it possesses, and M. de la Bourdotiraye of the extreme right. " In the Moniteur you will find an account of a conspiracy in the garrison of Belfort. Though much talked of, it has produced no unfavourable effect on the funds, the quotation of which at the close of the market stood as follows :—Five per Cents. 85f. 20c. I Bank Stock, 15201. being a considerable rise above Iyesterday. " The Petition of Mr. Loveday• to the Chamber of Deputies is now sold here in the shape of a pam phlet, and is the subject of conversation in all com panies. The Journals have of course been prohibited from mentioning it. The Prince of the Church to whom he alludes is the Archbishop of Paris. Suber minded people of all parties regret the foolish zeal of the Missionaries, as it tends to injure the cause of Re ligion, and to throw obstacles in the way of a more liberal treatment of the Catholics of Ireland." • The English Gentleman who was mentioned in out yester day's extracts from the French papers, as having had his eldes daughter seduced from him by the proselyting arts of some Ca tholic zealots. FRANKFORT, DECEMBER Le. A letter from Hermanstadt of the 13th state*, that the Russian troops are immediately to occupy Mol davia and Wallachia, and also several fortresses in the Morea. The Nuremberg Correspondent quotes letters from Vienna, stating, as a report, that the Porte had re jected the Russian Ultimatum, and that Russia had declared war. _ _ _ The Allgemetne Zeilung publishes an article from Vienna of the 23d, stating that the Austrian General commatiding on the extreme frontier had received in telligence that it was regarded as certain at Semlin that the Grand Seignior lost his life on the 28th or 29th November.—(Another article from Vienna like the one given above, contradicts the report.) EXTRACT OF A LETTER. FRANKFURT, JANUARY t. " The papers of Vienna of the '2sth of Decem ber do not yet speak of the acceptance of the Rus sian ultimatum ; but this silence has nothing in it astonishing, since the news arrived at Vienna only on the night between the 25th and 26th. By the estafette which brought it here, we have likewise learned that Prince Metternich had received from Constantinople a letter which announced that the Persians had made peace with the Porte. The Austrian Observer of the 26th is silent about these events." SPAIN. BARCELONA, DECEMBER 25. In the night of the 16th inst. the greatest disorder prevailed in Murcia. The people and the garrison are said to have united, and to have resolved to fol low the example of Seville, Cadiz, &c. They have, in consequence, sworn not to obey any orders of •the Ministry, but to fly to the defence of every province which shall be attacked or threatened by Ministerial despotism. A courier was sent to Carthagena, an nouncing their determination, and.requesting that the city of Murcia might be added to the confederation. LONDON. TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1822. . THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK. The Market opened this morning at 78A 3 / 4 .— The Bulls have sold a quantity at this price, %chili% caused a decline to MA. It appears the Bulls have sold out nearly all their Stock for this Account, and are purchasing largely for the ensuing Account. MADRID, DECEMBER 24. In the Sitting of the Cortes on the 22d, a Message, was read from the Permanent Deputation of the , Cortes, referring to the Congress a Representation from the Public Authorities of Seville, stating the ' state of agitation in which the city had been thrown, calling on the Cortes to take the subject into consi deration, and accusing Ministers of imbecility, and of having lost the confidence of the nation. There was also an Address to the King, from the' same persons, dated December 17, which concludes with praying a change in the Administration, and the appointment and choice of Authorities which may enjoy the confidence of the province. The Cortes finally adjourned to the 23d, when the Committee read their Report, which stated in sub stance that the condition of the inhabitants of Seville is not Such as the persons who signed the Address wished to represent it; and that the majority of the Committee gave it as their opinion that there was room to prosecute Velasco, Escovedo, and all those persons who signed the representation, on the grounds of their disobedience, and their having represented the Congress as hostile to the Ration which appointed its Members. After a warm debate, the Congress adopted the Re,olution of the Committee by a majority of 76. Carthagena has again protested against obeying the present Mini►tcrs ; and even offered to assist those who should be menaced with Ministerial despotism. REVENUE.

It is reported that ten thousand troops are to be sent out immediately to India, and that ships are al ready engaged for that purpose. The French Papers of Saturday last, contain an ar ticle from Vienna, through the medium of the Frank fort journals, which states, that the Porte had ac• cepted the ultimatum of Russia on the 19th of De cember. There is also a collateral report of Persia having made peace with the Porte, which gives strong cause to suspect that both are mere stock-jobbing ru- , mours. The Russian ultimatum contained, demands sufficiently exorbitant; but unless the powers of Eng land and France have interfered they were not large enough to satisfy the longing appetite of the Emperor of RUSSIA, which nothing short of Constantinople can appease for any length of time. Although the first Legislative measure of the new French Ministry has been such as to excite just suspi cions, yet we trust that they are not now creating " extraordinary circumstances" as an apology for the severity of their measures, which, as they were told in the French Chamber, they could always do; and yet in the few weeks this Ministry has been in authority, two conspiracies against the Govern ment are pretended to have been discovered.-- The first was that notable project of a few school-boys at Saumur, who had laid the plan of taking the castle by a coup-de-twain, and regenerating France, for the fiftieth time.' This insurrection, however, was put down by the more loyal part of the school, who seized their rebellious compeers, and, instead of having them well flogged, gave them in charge to a Military Commission. A new plot is now stated to have been discovered at Belfort, which would, had it not been crushed in the bud, have ripened into maturity on the 2d of January, when the tri-coloured cockade was to have been hoisted, and what more done we know not.— Four of the principal conspirators, who are said to have been implicated in former plots, have been arrested. Now these plots are either real or fictitious : if they are real, they give but a •ery unfavourable idea of the stability of a Governmeat, which any man, destitute of both rank add influence, thinks he may overturn if he only raises the standard of revolt. If they are fictitious, no language can be strong enough for the reprobation of those men who would excite plots as a pretext for arming themselves with a ty ranny which no country, making the slightest pre tensions to freedom, will tolerate. The French Papers contain long accounts of the re•consecration of the Church of St. Genevieve,which, during the Revolution, had been converted into the Pantheon," and employed as a cemetery for the remains of eminent men. This ceremony took place on Thursday last. Tile Moniteur states, that the Mass in Musique,which was celebratcd by the Aacatatusor. of PAR/sons preceded by the exhibition of the re/k 2 of Saimte-Genevieve (the Virgin Saint and Patroness of Paris) to the veneration of the faithfuL Th ee relics were brought from the vaults into the Church. A grand altar was etected, and the Church was il l every respect splendidly fitted up. After the e Beriedictign, the faithful sang hym ns , a verse of one of which was, Toujours en France ire Florroens el la foi, which was chanted at the merce r t the members of the Royal Family were entering t h e church. The ceremony was attended by the Pre. feels, Magistrates, Generals, and Authorities of 4 ,1 descriptions. It had been stated that this ceremony wa s pt . ceded by an act of still more pitiable bigotry, t h at of removing the ashes of VOLTAIRE and RousseAu, which were deposited there in the beginning of Revolution. This is now positively contradicted ; 3 the Gazette de France, and the Journal de Paris ; and the remains of VOLTAIRE and RouSszAu, it a r . pears, remain under the same dome as the relics c f St. GENEVIEVE. An article from Corfu, of the 3d December, in tl.e Augsburg liazette, states what is extremely bable, that the Suliots and Albanians had been recoq. cited by the mediation of Au PACHA, who WAS 13 put himself at their head, and after driving JOCS'fir F PACHA from Arta, was to enter Romelia, and 1);,;e the Greek standard on the walls of Adrianople, w!lic4 he had sworn to do before the month of February. The French Minister, in proposing his new law exterminating the Press in France, talked much ct the guarantee which would be furnished against i:s abuse 4 in the respectability of the Court to which all Offences would be referred. But what is thii Court? why the Cour Royale forsooth ! If, as the Erent:i Minister says, the Judges of this Court xei3 aAtlrt to the.accused all the guarantees be car: epitaV d re. quire, why are they not appointed, for the same rt.i. son, to decide all other cases without the interventio 9f a Jury ? Their practised judgment would, in all other questions, give them the same advantage over 'Juries, which the Minister claims for them in offe nces of the Press. The French Minister repels with ia dignation the slightest insinuation against the irt. partiality or integrity of the French Judges. But it is notorious that they are not independent, nor can they be so,in deciding between a Journalist and the Govern. ment. It is well known that they are numerous—i: 's well known that their salaries are very insignifican!— it is well known that the men of talent who adorn tl:e Court ascend the Bench only as a stepping-stone :u promotion. The ordinary Judge may be made P. sident of a Royal Court—the President of the lloy.d Court may be promoted to the Presidency of t! e .Court of Cassation—the latter may be made .. cellar of France, or occupy the place of M. I'EII4)N. NET T the Keeper of the Seals. It is needless to enu merate all the degrees of advancement open for a pliant Judge ; it would be superfluous to demonstrate the influence which a profligate Ministry may dun exercise over an ambitious Lawyer, or to describe that species of optics by which a man, looking to wards the Seals, could see sedition or irreligion in tl.e general tendency of any Journal that obstructed bii views. There is, besides, in France, a way of influ encing the Judges, which is quite unknown in Eng. land. The Cour Royale, for instance, which in P.nis consists of about 40 Judges, is divided into sections, to which different duties are allotted. The President has the making of these sections. He can appoint to a more agreeable or less agreeable duty. He m.iy even send a refractory Judge to the provinces, under the pretext of the public service. Oh the other bud, a Judge who goes to hold a Court of Assize, c-..iy have, if he is a favourite, under the name of i: . .- demnity for his expense of travelling, a sum of money that may amount to a bribe. Frankfort Papers to Tuesday last, and the Nuren berg Correspondent to the 31st ult. have been received. An article in one of them from Bulgaria, dated 19:4 November, states, that the Turkish Army now is t''s country has been raised to above 30,000 men. It , s again alleged that the Greeks have been defeated sear Cassandra. This report, which is printed in the u rea/berg Correspondent, and pretends to be founded on authentic accounts from Widdin, of the 9th De cember, states, that the Greek force at Cassandr a \N as (destroyed, after an obstinate engagement, wil'ol lasted fourteen hours, and in which the Greeks above 6000 men. According to the Turkish ac count, numerous divisions of Greeks laid down their arms, others fled on board Hydriot ships, which cc::• tinned to infest that sea and the adjacent country. — They had ventured several landings on the coal , destroyed small towns and villages, and disttibutca Proclamations. The PACHA has already taken niea sures to put a stop to these disorders. He has de tached twelve thousand Asiatic troops to reinfoicc CHURCHILD PACHA. The troops flatter themselves with ending the siege of the fort of Joannina. by a ge neral assault, the success of which can hartily Lc doubted. Commercial reports from the Island of Scio men tion the arrival of cargoes of corn from the Black Sea; other vessels from the Archipelago have alo arrived there. A report is mentioned, in an article dated 2I st from the ftontiers of Italy, that the Persians had :e -tired from the side of Bagdad, and evacuated Has korai which they held for a short lime. This is quite at variance with the Brussels article we quoted yes terday, which stated that the Prince of Nana. had entered Bagdad and Eraerum.
