G.—The change of Ministry was very seasonably made, and communicated to this province ; for those who had addressed the Kil , on that stilject had fixed a certain day, on which, if they did not hear that the :Ministry were dismissed, they should proceed to ulterior determinations : and they only had the intelligence one day prior to the period fixed upon. This, among other things, evinces the truth of the observation which I formerly made —that the determinations of the executive upon this subject wouldie greatly influenced by the de cision of this province, which carries the chief weight in the scale of peninsular politics. The ardour of patriotism which actually prevails here may be esti mated by the singular phenomenon, of an unofficial individul, like Riego, reviewing the troops, accom panied by the Constituted Authorities as his attend ants. This scene was presented on Sunday last. — The five battalions of national militia, in the best order, and full of enthusiasm, were drawn up on sea wall, and reviewed by General Riego, accom panied by the Civil and military Authorities ; after which they defiled in companies to the square of the Constitution, where they drew up in mass fronting the Captain General's palace, and were addressed by General Riego, frum the centre balcony, in the following terms:— " National militia. chosen children of the cele brated Barcelona, you here see me fulfilling my in tention of addressing you, before I proceed to the capital of free Spain. his with ineilable delight that t einitetnprate - yorif warriteXiposing, and pa triotic attitude; but my feelings arc more deeply Affected, when I consider the exquisite patriotism which you have discharged the duties of humanity in calatuitot.a times. This generous conduct, un exampled in the history of the world, has eutitled You to the gratitnde of the nation, and crowned you with never fading laurels. Envied mortals, you have raised yourselves to a pitch of glory which it would be difficult to surpass! " But there yet remains another act of self-devo tion to perform, which must be dear to the hearts of the children of liberty, and cannot be difficult fitr those who have already distinguished themselves by the practice of such sublime virtues. " Union! union ! union! I say union.—Ah ! how has it abandoned our fine soil I—Every where the spirit of mortal discord cruelly agitates all bosoms, and, under every species of disguise, inexorably prepares the total ruin of the Spanish nation. — Every where we see the terrible efibets of its indc 'litigable and perverse manoeuvres. There is not a people among; whookits vile germ has nut produced Itherticith., results! • , " How Latch must those have deceived them selves who have, with. snch confidence, presumed that the heroic Baretionese would be susceptible of so low and ttiestable a passion I Oh! ye deluded of the earth, Lear the most solemn protest of the Catalans, especially of this celebrated city, We are vain-glorious of bt:ing membets of the first nation in the world—free Spain; but we also highly ap preciate being Catalans. The pure blood which runs in our veins, and nourishes our constitutional sentimenis, never belie that of our renowned ancestors, who have so often cheerfully taught for their idolized liberty and independence.

Inhabitants of Barcelona, let this always be uppermost in our thoughts and in our desires. Henceforth let us abandon ourselves to it, and to u vigilant confi dence. Fierce and desperate despotism from that moment expires. I already see her tearing her un expired hair, and plunging herself into the dark mansions of pain, and of the tricks of her satel lites, from whence she will never emerge—never. " Never, never ; live union, live union, live union ; live free Spain ; live the Constitution of 1812 ; live the religion of our ancestors: live the constitutional King ; live the militia, the garrisons and the inhabitants of Barcelona! " He afterwards read the royal order for displacing the fiver Ministers ; exhorted to peace, order, and tranquillity ; and that he gloried in being amongst the greatest lovers of the constitution; but observed, that if the constitution causes you to live in perpe tual disturbance, you will come at last to abhor and detest it, especially living in an industrious country like Catalonia, which cannot prosper amidst riots and tumultuous alarms. Ile concluded by announcing, that in the next legislature, in which he was going to occupy a seat, great interests in Mvour of the cause of liberty would be treated of. The battalions then defiled amidst acclamations. 1 •‹ - t77 / .. FLANDERS MAIL. ODESSA, JAN. I.—As the wind continues to be favourable, we have received for some days past news .I...Et...very recent. rime from Constantinople.— Some vessels have arrived here, which sailed from that city on the 29th of December. and they have brought private letirs of the 28th. At that time the city was tolerably tranquil. The Porte had publicly announced that hostilities with the Persians had finally ceased, and it has in consequence withdrawn its declaration of war. The Persians who were imprisoned are stated to have been set at liberty. The termination of this uflitir, which is of such great importance to Turkey, is ascribed to the prompt intervention of England.— But yet there are some people who Jo nut believe that this affair is entirely settled, The French Ambassador bus been received by the government with much respect. The Porte observed the most profound silence respecting the Russian ultimatum; there is nothing surprising in this; go vermuents do not usually acquaint the public with the progress of negociations of thi. kind, and the Turkish government is still less communicative than any other. At all events, it must wait for the answer of the Cabinet of St Petersburgh, which may make some modifies►tin:► in the actual state of the negociatiuns. Great exertions are making to equip the fleet fin. another expedition. GEItiLiN P.ll'Lla. BERLIN, JAN. 3.—A sudden indisposition of the Prince Chancellor of State excited great alarm ; which, however, is now removed, as the danger is past. The public confidence is so intimately con nected with the Prince Chancellor, that the remotest appreltes!sion of a change has a great effect on pee. ple's minds. It is with justice that the life of the Chancellor is hailed upon us one that would be irre parable at this moment, when Europe is on the eve of great events, and the weight which Prussia has in the political scale must contribute to the decisive result. The change which has lately taken place in the Ministry of a great foreign Power is the more deserving of the attention of all the other Powers, us the language held in the address to the Sovereign which led - to this change, was far from expressing those principles of peace and moderation, which nii4lit well have been expected t be permanent, i.ft,:e so much melancholy experience of the illusion of a take glory. In the internal udosinistration, the Prince Chancellor has hitherto understood the chili t art' of introducing improvements and corrections gradually, without violent innovations; and, as it were, wising of themselves as necessary consequences of the wants of the moment; and he possessed at the sante tinie an ucqualled talent of conciliation, is uni.iag the various interests, which, Li tt &Au -.,~. - - - - -- - PRICE Oid' without great Constitutional Bodies especially, cross each other in the higher departments of Adminis tration. JAN 3.—Three Students, of the names of &in denter, Krebs, and Koch, had conceived the bold plan of formito , a band of robbers in Italy, and for for this purpose had already persuaded a number of Students, between 17 and 19 years of age, to ac company them thither By various robberies and burglaries, they had already got together 400 rix dollars, which sum was finind in the possession of Koch. Bandemer, a you ig man of bad character, was to be Captain of the proposed band, and they were to set out as soon as they had got together 4000 dollars, which they had hopes of accomplishing in a short time. This plan, which would have p:unged many parents into affliction, who sons were engaged in the plot. was happily discovered. Koch and Krebs have ben expelled from the Gymnasium, at Joachimstal, but received into another, where they are placed under strict superiatcndance. Ban demar has since disappeared, and is sought after by the Police on accoant of robberies since committed. It is well known that Professor Jahn, among his gymnastic exercises, intmduced a game which he called " The Banditti and the Travellers." Some persons suppose that this game so much pleased the Students in question, that they resolved to practise it in earliest. CONaTA NTINOPLE, DEC. 29.—0 n the 26th, in the afterm:oA, the Marquis de Latour Manbourg. the French ambassador, arrived here on board one of the King's ships ; the next day he was visited by the diplomatic body. Today he received the formal visit of the interpreter of the Porte, and the presents usual from the Porte on this occasion. The Porte has received the following intelligence from Bagdad:—The Persians have entirely ceased hostilities, and peace may be considered as concluded between the two Powers. This notice was brought by a Tartar, who left Bagdad on the 10th Novem ber. The l'ersian troops had repeatedly attacked the places neareNt that city, but had always been repulsed with loss by the Paella's troops. Both par ties, weary of this state of war, without any object, which had continued for a considerable time, joyfully accepted the mediation of a Sheik, who is highly esteemed by the Turks of that province, and also by Schasade Mahomet Ali Mirza, Governor of Kerman shah. An amicable arrangement, removing every misunderstanding, was immediately concluded, ac cording to which the two Paellas of the Cords era nut to be removed from their posts. Abdullah Pacha will rem tin in Sullmanje, and Mahmond Pacha in Koi-Satischak. Neither of them can be removed or deposed without the joint consent of the Pasha of Bagdad and the Governor of Kermanshah. The Persians engaged immediately to leave the Ottoman territory, and to make good without dalay the da mage they had done.—Accurding to later accounts, Mahomed Ali Mina had fallen ill, and was tmable to sign the convention with the Paella of Bagdad, and his first minister was obliged to du it. This circumstance, and the extraordinary haste with which the Persian troops made their retreat, gave some credit to the report that the Prince, who is considered as the real author a:al prommer of the hostilities with the Forte, was really dead. The Hind sloop of war, Sir Chas. Burrard, Bart. returned to Portsmouth on Monday, from New York She arrived there on the 45th December, and ssilci on the ‘.ltl of January. The ru m recovered Tweedie was 18,000.., and this wa:i tffeeted by Inti midation. Within an hour and a half alter th arrival of the Hind, by the vigilance of the Britis4 Consul, and the eller of svo dollars to the Magis trates, Tweedie was traced to his lodgings, and the option offered him of either being sent en board the Hind, or giving up the money: he acted upon the latter, the amount being in bills. On the following day to that on which the money was restored, the Atuerican Judges said, that if they had been con sulted, they would have contended araiost the right of exacting the m.nicy from him in that (looney, The Gov.:nue:lL vot,gaii nut porlait, air beta.'! w 653 given up. a _ _ :~.:.
