Tatischeff has nov: 1L: cu a fortnight here, and there is not yet any a; , ; :r:owe of a change in the state of our relations w:t It the Porte; on the contrary, the belief in the continuation of peace gain ground. We have the following accounts from ti.. Turkish front:.. , rs :—lt is affirmed that Persia insists on the cession of Armenia. The Porte avoids giving any precise declaration, and depends greatly on the me diation of England for the arranging of their diffi culties. According to other accounts, coming from good authority, the Porte had ordered the Paella of Bag dad to continue the war with Persia, and not to listen to any proposals for peace. This has highly incensed the Sari', who has published a formal de claration of war. against Turkey, and left Teheran with a large army, which he intends to command in person. The van-guard is said to have joined the troops of his grandson, and the whole of this great ti rce to be advancing against the Pachallek of Erzerulll. Tov weather, which in the whole of March, and the first half of April, was the mildest and warmest in the memory of man, in our northern climate, has been succeeded, for three weeks past, by severe cold, with furious storms. The progress of vegetation, which was very much advanced, is suddenly check ed ; we only hope that the prospect of the farmer may not be blighted by it. An article from Homburg, of May 19, says, that her Royal Highness the Princess of Ilcsse Homburg has received nalieial information that his Majesty's health will not permit him •o take such a journey this year. SMTRNA, A Patti. 18. —The Turks who landed at Selo on the I'sth, have shed so much blood, that they have given courage to the vanquished. I speak of what I have seen, and still shudder at the thought of it-12,000 dead bodies of chit:dans, of all ages and sexes, were lying in the streets, squares, and environs of the city. The Turks hail, on their side, 4,000 killed and 10,000 wounded. Thu Greeks are now entrenched in the mountainous parts of SA °, whence they will not probably venture, except with it sure prospect of success. An amnesty has been proposed for the insurgents, and the proposals have been caused by the agency of France and Aus tria, who met with a positive refusal ; and conquer or di., is the unanimous cry of the whole population. Since then, the standard of the Cross Heats on all the mountains. It was reported this morning that the Samians had math: a descent on tt. Gulf of Mycale, to circa a diversion in favour of the inhabitants of Selo, but this news needs confirmation.

MONDAY, JUNE 10, 1822. " Rash e rterprises bate disturbed, in some parts of the kingdom, public tranquillity ; but they have only served to dis play more signally the zeal of the magistrates nod the fidelity of the troops. If a small nuxiber of individuals, who are the enemies of order, view, with despair, our institutions conso lidated and rendering a new support to the Throne, my people abhor their criminal designs. I shall take care that violence does not deprive them of the pritih.ges they enjoy. " Positive calamities, though exaggerated by fear, have re cently desolated the departments conti,ort us to the capital.— The aid of public and private benevolexce has, however, mill gated them. The activit y of the inhabitants shortened the du ration of these disasters ; authority seconded their zeal, jus tice will punish the guilty. " The exa•t state or the debt arrierie is at length ascertain ed, 810 w ill be submitted to you. This debt, whose origin is in times happily far removed from us, and whose liquidation has developed its full extent, will retard, for the present year, in spite of my most deep regret, a part of those ameliorations , of which the various branches of the public revenue whit be ' susceptible. " The advantages we hate already obtained should enconrage us to persevere for their maintenance and increase. I rely on nu your aid to secure, in our beautiful country, that prosperity which Providence de,igns for us ; this is the wish of my breast, the incessant object of my thoughts ; it is the con soling idea which allot iatos the recollection of toy pains, and which embellishes the anticipations of the future." PARIS, JuNr.s.—A serious tumult took place on Monday. It had been reported during sevaal pre. vious days, that :he law students intended publicly to commemorate the anniversary of the death of the young Lallemand, who, it will be recollected, met his untimely fate during the ecimuotions which were excited in the capital by the collegians. The authorities, to prevent their design, had caused the gates of the cemetery Pere la Chase to be closed, and posted a civil fOrce adjacent. At eight o'clock, a number of youths belonging to the schools of law and physic, attired in deep mourning, came to the spot in procession, and followed by a numerous mul titude. M. B. Constant, also made his appearance in a hackney-coach, accompanied by another person, who, it was said, was the Count ac 'fhiars, member of the Chamber of Deputies. Cries were re-echoed of " Benjamin Constant fur ever!—the Charter for ever !--we will cuter !" The students demanded to pass to the grave of their fellow—this was rc fused, and some disposition being evinced to enter by force, the military were brought to the :vet, and the place was promptly cleared. They rallied again on the Boulevard de Bonne Nouvelle, and marched in files, a second time to the burial-ground, where, on being refused entrance, a volley of stones was directed against the military, two of whom were grievously hurt by these missiles. On this the horse gendarmerie vigorously charged sword in hand ; above .20 of the students acre. in consequence, wounded, and eight taken prisoners. Up to tarot niGht, no further tumult had taken place. AIIERIC.•IN PAPERS. _ _ New York Papers to the 14th and 15th of May have arrived. From their contents, it appears that the President bad communicated to Congress some further correspondence between the Department of State, and Chevalier Anduaga, the Spanish Minis ter, relative to the affairs of Mexico, which liad taken place since his last message. In a letter from the latter, dated April 24, he states that it bad been erroneously supposed that O'Doiiju was empowered to make the treaty in Cordova with Iturbide, the Mexican Chief, which, hi the name of the Spanish Government, he proceeds totally to disavow. The National Intel/ismer of the geivannounecs, that Congress having gone through all the business lief Ore it, had adjourned. The Committee of Ways and Means, to which several letters from Mr. Bagot, Mr. Antrobus, and Mr. Canning, remonstrating on the part of the British Government against the duty imposed on rolled Irir iron, or in violation of the Convention between the United States and Great Britain, gave in the following Report on the day of the adjourunient :- 6.

This is a measure next in con- sequence to the removing the British restrictions on the %Vest India trade. With events will proclaim, in a triumphal manner, the wisdom of the American Statesman, who so patrio►ically and resolutely per- sisted in supporting our retaliatory system, which the short' sighted politicians among , us strove to induce the country to abandon ut the very moment of success." MEZICO.-Our readers have heard a glod deal of late about the proceedings of lturbide, who, in. Al tation of Napoleon, wished to take advantage of thc political distractions in Mexico, and got himiele de vated to the Imperial Purple. Accounts received at flivanna, from Mexico, to the 3d of April, throw some new light on the at tempts of this chief to carry his ambitious projects into effect. He had so far succLeded as to gain over a part of the military, who shouted " Viva el Reyi" and when another regiment was sent to bring them to reason, they also refused to obey their commander, snatching off their cockades, and &leveling them to their general. 4 Elated by the success of these treacherous ceedings, Iturbide presented himself, like &moth& Cromwell, &fine the Congress, and demanded the. dismissal of certain Deputies, whom he churged with being conspirwors ; he was answered, that it was contrary to the rules to 'comply with his demand ;• and that, as he himself dal not alone co4ose the' Regency. he would please to retze.—Showing no disposition to leave the place, Don Yancz then observed, " I will think your Excellency to pardon me, you are the only man who usurp all pow er." Iturbide said, "We shall soon find, Signor Yanez, who is the traitor." Yanez replied, " shall not leave this spot before I convince your Highness you are that traitor."—Much tumul tuous discussion is stated to have tiallowed, but we have no account of tl.e result of this daring attempt to destroy the Congress. He is said to have presented a forge) letter from Devilla, in which he was invited to re-co;:quer the empire, and place it under the protection of Sl:ain ; but this plot was discovered. It. is added that these pots had dcstroyed the ettuiiibrium of the Mexican Go vernment, which was now in the situation of Ramos Ayres. FRACAS Is CIIINA.—It is nsserted, by most rails pectable private conespoudents, that in the lase quarrel with the Chinese there was originally no justitiestion on oar part, and that the conduct of our naval fume in those seas atial• not been Cilar4ctericxl by prudence and aisdotn. 1114cl:wood, r.lio Cotsilimatli in the East Indies, is bl..tued tor, endeavouring to entice sailms titan the Inthamen, and tieimmiviiig them of their best hands at a period of profound peace, w.men he. tni;ht easily recruit in other quarters. 'file Terme is said to have been sent to China with the Lope of obtaining volunteers from tlioe ships that had nut conic within the Admiral's roses on th.ir passage. The Chinese arc cx:retnely je.dous of ships a war, and never allow them to coin their harbours. While off Chitin, the ftigav, notwithstanding the known disposilon et the natives, sent several ' , Artie* on shore, and among the rear a patty to cut irocimai.
