The people on board this Colossus already appre hended the approaching misfortune, when Meisuly, with his own hand, threw combustibles into the fire ships, and hmtened the explosion; the success was brilliant. The admiral's ship, with the Captain Pasha on board, and 2,500 men was blown up,— Two frigates •began to burn, and the Turks were thrown into contusion, of which the Greeks took his Majesty — , and entirely hand:— Greece, tends these officers did their utmost, aO used the basest means to turn aside the assifitanie, which it is to be hoped will-contributelo make tlufGreeks free, and consequently more moral, is inlihnian and unchris tian. All these difficulties wereestlength overcome by the good sense of the better dispoaed, and the in defatigable exertions of the committee, consisting of Messrs. Kephallas, Sieocking e Hoffmann, Captain Dittmar, and Deutsch. It is true only 150 men embarked out of the 200 that were intended; U 4. however, the wheat was thus .separated from the chaff. To the great joy of the expedition, it was joined by five of tlwsc who had returned, and who are convinced that .a corps well provided with all necessaries, and well organised in every part, may be of halite service in Greece. If preceding expe ditions were not so well organised, it was not owing to a deficient) , of good will or ofijud„tment, but of money. However, the exertions of the Societies for the aid of the Greeks have been so successful in this respect, that at the beginning oC the next month another ship will be dispatched fur - Greece, which will have some men ou board, but be chiefly laden with arias and stores." (EXTRACT OF A FRIVATX LF.TTILII.) Ut.st, D: c. 19.—1 t is confirmed, by several let ters from Upper Italy, that, since the departure of the English Ambassador, Lord Strangford, Prince de Metternich has received very important despatches relative to the affairs of Constantinople. It is af firmed, that these despatches consist of the repOitias of M. d'Ottelels, Austrian Internuncio at the Porte. Nothing is yet known as to the contents of these despatches ; it is only known that they have occa sioned several very long conferences, and that a courier has been despatched to Lard Stiangford, who had not then left 'Trieste. These desputelies must be relative to new events, or at least to overtures made since the change which has taken place in the Ottoman Ministry, fur the change was known pre vious to the departure of LordStrangterd. It is even known at N'etolia, that it was this Minister who first, and before M. de Metternich, received advice of the fall of HalebFllendi and his party : it was in despatches from M. Chaper (Coucilttr.of the British Legation at Loudon, and provisionally filling the `functions of English Charge d'Affaires at Constanti nople) that the event was transmitted to him by an 'extraordinary courier, who travelled with incredible rapidity. Lord Strangthrd, nithout delay, comma-. Pleated the intelliwzice to the other Ministers. It appears that only two days afterwards the same news reached Prince de Metterirelt. The mission that Lord Strangthrd received previously to his de parture from Verona was, therefore, given to him at a moment when the change in the Turkish Mi nistry was already known. It results from this, that the new despatches whieh have been sent to Trieste relate to ether events which have subsequently transpired at Constantinople, and the knowledge of which Teethed Prince de Metternich by despatches which be lately received front M. de &ureter. Here is a vast field fur all sorts of conjecturea! addressed._ written by his royal advantage, and took a frigate of 36 guns, unda maged Thus in the course of this year, three Cap tain Pachas have perished (one of them died of the plague); the last as Christian Journals affirm, was very skilful, having served under the celebrated Captain Paella Hussein. ia. Egypt, at the time of the English expedition, 24 years ago. Extraordi nary rejoicings took place at Hydra tin this occasion —their joy was still greater, because the welcome news was brought by an English corvette, which had hoisted the Greek flag along with his own.— Lord Strangford who is now here, sets out the day after to-morrow for Corfu. The policy of the En glish appears to have quite altered; at least the ('reek blockade is at length recognized by them. Dec. 2.—Direct accounts relative to the latest events at Constantinople have not yet reached Belgrade : the Paella has no fresh couriers from that city, but has received news, by way of Nissa, re specting which he observes total silence. Private letters from Nissa, of the 30th of November. are however here, which say that a Tartar had arrived, who had brought accounts stating, in general, that there were great disturbances at Constantinople and Adrianople, that the party of Halet Effendi was overthrown, tend the Janissaries acted as masters.— It is remarkable that, according to these accounts, the enraged Janissaries at Adrianople had murdered the Mufti Ayan and all the adherents of Haleb, but no Greeks. FasstarostT, DEC. 14.—As the decision of the question respecting peace and war is t.) be expected front Paris, where, it is well known, there is a pow erful party disposed to war, it is no wonder that the funds of various states are so unsteady in our market. It is now affirmed, in letters from Vienna, that the new lean, which has been frequently doubted, will, however, be made, and that the con tractors arc the houses of Rothschild, in Frankfort ; Gavinullcr, in. Vienna; and Parish, in ilatuburgh. The amount of the new loan is to be 30 minims of the strndard of 20 fierily:, or 3G millions of the standard of 24 florins. New Metalliques will be created to this amount. Mr. Lamb, late British Minister to the Diet, who is gone to Vienna, and front thence to Verona, does not return here in the sante character, but gees to London. lie had furnished his residence in this city at a very great expense, for the reception of the late Marquess of Londonderry, who was to pass through Frankfurt on his way to the Congress.

Ltssiox. Dec. 4.—On the I st instant the Ordi nary Cot tes assembled, and opened their first session. The business commenced by the deputation, which had been directed to inform the Kia4 that the Cortes were installed, reporting that they had fulhited their . - missioo. A letter from tl:d Ministers was afterwards read. stated " That his Ma;asty was resolved to be • 1♦ a . .-,~- ~---~ " As the session of the Cortes is to open to-morrow, and I tear it will be impossible for me to be present.

(Signed) **THU LING DON JOHN VI." The Minister then stated to the Congress, that notwithstanding his Majesty had written the above letter yesterday, he had this day caused himself to be removed from the Quints de Alfeite to the Palace b de Bemposta, with the design of making an effort to attend the Cortes, bat that his indisposition had increased, and the Physicians opposed his leaving the palace. The speech of his Majesty was then read, and the President, addressing the Ministers, mode a reply. sac. 7.—ln the sitting of the Cortes of the 4th, • report was made on a despatch from the Minister for the Home Department, in which the Congress was informed that the Q..een, having refused to take the odth to the Constitution of the Monarchy, the King bad resolved on carrying into execmion the decree of ones, ordaining that whoever shall refuse to t ortes, to the Constitntion shall quit the kingdom, and renounce the rights of a Portu guese citizen. But that the Queen having repre sented that her delicate state of health would ant permit herto travel without endangeing her life, and t • -physicians of her house!iald having con together, and unanimously declared that her e would actually be endangered, if she were compelled to undertake a journey either by sea or by land ;—his Majesty issued a decree, umintanding the Queen to retire to the Quints de Ramalleao with the necessary attendants, but refusing her request to take along with her the Infants her daughters adding, that this retirement in the Quints de Ha malltao should continue until the state of her health might permit her to travel beyond the kingdom, ' The despatch was ir:companied with an exact account of all thai bad been done in _this busincs:, together with the orders which had been given, tha opinions of the Council of State, the votes of the Ministers, the propositions made by the Kiug to the Queen, her objections, and the declaration of the Leulty, &e. The President proposed that the Cortes shou!.l consider of the manner in which these papers should be disposed of. Senor J. Monteiro moved, that they be printed, fur the information of the whole nation, and that the originals should he referred to a special commit. tee., This motion was carried. In the sitting of the following day, (the sth ; ) Senhor Pato Nferix read the fOlkeeing motion:— " It being indispensab e that the law should ha car ried into eiLet, as well with respect to the ex- Queen of Portugal, as any other person who may refuse. to swear to the pufitical constitution of the monarchy ; and its execution having been delayed by the report of tenplivsicians, stating that her lite would bet endangered by the severity tif the welither if she should travel in the present state other health; I propose that the Government be required Co orkler, that the same ten physicians do cootinue to attend the ex.
