Pants, Nov. 6.—During several days the Aus trian Obortrer, has kept silence as to the affairs of the Levant, and on the negotiations which may take place on this subject. The pacific and majestic sentiments conveyed in the speech from throne, is the mos , encouraging symptom of the repose which France enjoys. The religious caution which the crown scents to have observed not to supply the passions (of whatever nature they may be) with a pretext tin- attacking a single word of the Royal Addreks, attests at once bow little certain characters have to hope from the ensuing session, mid how little France ought to dread their success. The high wisdom which watches over the State has given us a new constitutional lesson, in abandoning the despotaries of Royal au thority, and the two other legislative powers, to the chance of argument and talent, and by impartiality detaching the throne from Parliamentary struggles. Let us gratefully acknowlege this Royal and I:ater. nal fliresight, which only allows us to recognize the King by the benefits he confers. The hopes, there lime, which we have long since expressed that the issue of the events in the East might be such as humanity and policy ought to wish, arc confirmed. Further prosperity in our domestic administration is promised. It is the King who announces that passions are subsiding, and does it not tend still more to appease them, that the happy certitude should be given to France by the King, the august author of the Charter, who proclaims himself the " protector of all our liberties?" Prince Gregory Yypsilanti arrived at Frankfort on the 31st ult. on his way to Paris. The ffillowing is the extract of a letter written by Dr. Parise. to his witi.s, dated Barcelona, October:26, in the evening:— " I rise from my couch with all the symptoms of the yellow fever. Prof Use sweats hive come to my assistance,and I entertain hopes of a flivourable issue. --Bailly, too, is confuted to his bed, under evident symptoms of the disease. Our commission is reduced to M. Francois alone, who preserves his activity.— If we can extricate ourselves from the difficulties and dangers with which we are environed, we pur pose abridging our stay in this place, as our profes sional services will hereafter be of no avail. We flatter ourselves that we understand the nature of the disease; fur my part I have had sufficient ex perience fur that, and the dreadtitl example which the disease lets furnished in the case of our colleague Muxut will never be obliterated from my memory. We know what judgment to turns of it, in all' its different bearings." The number of deaths in Barcelona from tile 19th to the 23d exclusively was 657, and the total num ber of deaths in the town from the commencement of the pestilence is estimated at i 6,000 ; and the accounts from Tortosa ara most appalling. Up to the 26th of Sept. 7,000 persons had dial, and about 70 per day since become victims to the relentless scourge. 1)r. Mazet died on the 23d, after lingering in the greatest agtmics durini.: the space of ten days. Two ladies belonging to the sisterhood of Sainte Camailie are arrived in Bandana : u private letter also announces the arrival of Dr. Andouard. Among the victims at Tortosa are several mem bers of the board of health, nearly all the curates, the bishop, his secretary, 1:; cannons, 10 sisters of the order of St. Francis, who went to visit the sick, and all the medical practitioners in the town, cx cept one. linportant news has bee receivol from the lonian hies: it is in substance us follows: The Ottonum troops, which the fleet of Caraman Ali has landed on the southern coasts of the Morea have not been able to keep together. They have ken thrown into e, .ne tints which still hold out, and which have been victualled by the Turks. So much fur the performances of the i:imotut Ottoman expedition to the south of the Morea. _ _ In the north of the peninsula the blockade of the fort of Patrus has been raised, and Nlithomet Pilau has marched from Livadia ut the head ul'a large body f troops, to enter by the isthmus of Corinth, into the southern part of the Peleponessus, but has been repulsed without being able to force a passage. The Greeks of Livaaia havo concentrated themselves in their turn, and menace Mahomet in the rear, unless they can effect a speedy retreat. Although it has been reported that the Prince Ypsilanti had retired from the Morea, it nevertheless appears, from various reports, that he was at the head of the corps of Hetarists, by which the isthmus of Corinth has been defended with so much success. It is the l'rince Cantacuzene who commands in the Morea. The Archbishop Germano has been very successful, and continues to enjey great influence. The ships of war which form the squadron of the Captain Paella have finally etlixted the junction of their fleet with that of Clara-Ali-Ismael, commander of a division of the Turkish fleet which has not yet been seriously engaged with the Greeks. But pri vate letters mention the arrival of a Greek squadron at the mouth of the Adriatic Gulf, and according to all appearances there will soon be a naval combat in those parts, because the two fleets are but a little distance from each other. Aunsauno, OCT. 3 I .—Extract of.a private letter dated Vienna, Oct. 22.—" The journey of Prince tie :Metternich to Hanover has been the subject of universal conversation in this capital during the last days. We are very fiir from being desirous to pene trate the secrets of policy; but we may be justified in communicating what is said in our circles. It may be relied upon, that this government continues in the same relations of good intelligence with Russia, and that all its efforts tend to the main tenance of peace in the rest of Europe. This ob ject can only be obtained, in as far as the Otto man Porte will consent, unreservedly, to the just demands of the cabinet of St Petersburgh. It is true that the Divan have acceded to most of these demands, but much difficulty exists relatively to the guarantee required by the Emperor Alexander in favour of the Greeks. " The English Ambassador at Constantinople had, it is affirmed, in the first place, proposed some modification in the demands made by Russia; but this Power would not consent to them. Austria, on the contrary is of opinion as well as Prussia, that the Porte ought to give the guarantees to the extent demanded by Russia. it was in this state of things that it was decided that Prince Metternich should proceed to, Hanover, to influence the King of England to make common cause with Austria. If his Highness succeed in this important negotiation, England will be obliged to relax much in the policy she has hitherto held to, in regard to the Turks." FRONTIERS OF IT SLY, OCT. 19.—The following details concerning Ali Paella of Janina have been received by way of Venice. At the commencement of the spring, when the affairs of Greeo began to wear a favourable appearance, Ali commenced a train of negociations with the Turkish commanders in Epirus; in the first instance he addressed himself to Pascho Bey, and it is probable that by the advice of the latter the ex-Grand Vizier Churchid was induced to listen to the propositions of Ali, which it is said, principally consisted of a demand to be reinstated as Paella of Albania, and to retain the right of keeping up troops of inflintry within the ~boundary otitis government. It appears, however, that the conditions (whatever their n tire) "ere not ' too burdensome for the Turkish nation to submit to, since Churchid thought it his duty to transmit them to Constantinople ; at the same time recommending the Divan to accept them. But on the reception of these despatches, the Grand Seiguor fill into a vio lent passion with him who had dared to treat with a rebel. Churchid received official orders from Con stantinople, to resume hostilities, which bad been suspended during the negociations. But while this species of armistice existed, the cunning Ali lost no time; he sent emissaries to procure provisions and ammunition, and to obtain the suppott of several Albanese chiefs. When the intelligence arrived in Albania that the propositions of Ali were rejected, the Turks encountered a greater number of enemies there than previously. Ali bad even contrived to conciliate the Souliotes, who attacked the Ottomans at all points. Churchid found himself' in a most embarrassed situation, and he could no longer bold out unless he received reinforcements from the Porte. ,These reinfbreements lie received in time from Bosnia, and the north of Macedonia, in consequence of the rigid commands given to the Pachas of these pro vinces. The war is now carried An by Churchid, Pacha Bey, snd Ismael Pacha on one side, and Ali Paella, 'titled by the chiefs of the Souliotes and some Alf Hellenians on the other. I:ADRID, OCT. 25.—0 n the arrival of the Royal Family at the Escurial, the suite of his Majesty could not obtain lodgings; the municipality having refused, conformably to the constitution, to giant any lodging billets, the Political Chief was obliged - to interfere to procure them accommodation. Eight partisans of Zaldivar were shot ut Seville on the 13th inst. HERMONSTADT, OCT. 10 —News from Bucharest of the 6th of this month announce that on the Sth there arrived 8.000 Hetarists in that city ; and the latest intelligence is, that the Porte is seriously preparing itself on all points for war. 'f he .Turkish troops increase in tiid•two principalities, and their commanders speak openly of war against Russia.— Twenty-two young nuns, of the Worosen nunnery, have been taken' to. the Turkish commanders at Jassy, and thence tarnsported to the other side of the Danube: The daughter of a Boyard has been sent back to her parents for 5,000 piasters. The number of priests and monks massacred within a a month amounts to near 400. Nut one of them had taken the least part in the insurrection. .PETEIISUUItOII, OCT. 6.—The privilege of the Russian Company of America has been renewed fur 20 years. The company obtain by the new charter more advantageous stipulations, and its stock is in consequence on the rise. liEttitSTADT. (Transylvania), OCT. 17.—We kayo now the sad certainty that Capt. JorJaki pe rished at the taking of the Convent of' Secka. Fore seeing the cruel fate that awaited hint it' he fell alive into the hands of the Turks, he caused a quantity of powder, straw, and other combustibles, to be de posited in his cell; when further resistance was im possible, and on the approach of the Turks, he ap plied a torch, and blew himself' and all around him to atoms. Such was the end of this heroic man, who was worthy of a better fate. Issue of an an cient tinnily of Boyards, a husband and father of 4ix children, he is generally regretted. Pirreassurtoti, OCT. 13. —Our Ga:clle contains the following article:—" The Greeks are the first carriers of the Mediterranean. In order to with draw a son from the capitation tax, the father choosea to intrust him with the master of a vessel, in order to learn the art of navigating the Mediterranean, The Greeks know better titan any other nation how to encounter the storms in the small gulfs of that sea; and, whilst the Swedish and Danish navigators become every day more rare, that of the Greeks augment in proportion. It is the Greek flag which is seen most at Marseilles, Barcelona, and Ragusa. The Greeks make one and even two voyages a year more than the shipping of other na tions, who sail film the ports of the Levant to those of Christian countries. This depends not only upon good seamanship, but also on account of ancient usage, by which they are not obliged to so long a quarantine. The Greeks fear the plague less than others, because they in consequence remain a less time in the infected parts. The pay of the Greek matiner is small, mid his provisions costs still less; the number of drunkards being very small, they have no need of provisions of liquor for loug voyages; awl building timber is as cheap tothem as provisions. " In spite of all the restrictions established ut Malta, and in the lonian isles, to the prejudice of their flags, the Greeks are almost exclusively the carriers to the ports of Turkey, Barbary, and the Black Sea. It is by commerce and navigation that the Greek nation has in 3d years made such a pro gress in ; and it is in the ports of the Christian states that it has learner( to appreciate liberty. FRANKFORT, NQV. I.—Speculators affirm that peace will be maintaiued betweea Russia and the Porte, at least during this winter; and they have succeeded in raising the metallics to 71 5-16.
