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 and promoter of the hostilities with the Porte, was really dead. CORRESPONDENCE FROM SPAIN. impotent enemies of our happiness, as immovable promontories despise the frothy billows of the bois terous seas. " Our immortal motto is, and will be, " Union," because on that depends our success. Inhabitants of Barcelona, let this always be uppermost in our thoughts and in our desires. Henceforth let us abandon ourselves to it, and to a vigilant confi dence. Fierce and desperate despotism from that moment expires. I already see her testing her un-- expired hair, and plunging herielf into the dark mansions of pain, and of the tricks of her sat-A 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 garrison and the inhabitants of Barcelona! " He afterwards read the royal order for di:placing the four Ministers; exhorted to peace, order, and tranquillity ; and that he gloried in being amongst the greatest lovers or 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. He concluded by announcing, that in the next legislature, in whi-it he was going to occupy a :vat, great interests in favour of the cause of liberty would be treated of. The battalions then defiled amidst acclamations. 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 :Ipprehension of a change has a great effect on peo. ple's minds. It is with justice that the life of the Chancellor is looked upon as 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, as the language held in the address to the Sovereign which led to this change, was far from expressing those principles of pe.ce and moderation, which night well have been expected to be permanent, after so much melancholy experience of the illusion of a false glory. In the internal administration, the Prince Chancellor has hitherto understood the diffi cult art of introducing improvements and corrections gradually, without violent innovations; and, as it were, :rasing of themselves us necessary consequences of the wants of the moment ; and he possessed at the same time an uequallcd talent of conciliation, in uniting the various interests, which, in a State without great Constitutional Bodies especially, cross each other in the higher departments of Adminis tration. 1' JAN 3.—Three Students, of the names of Ban tlemer, Krebs, and Koch, had conceived the bold plan of formino• a band of robbers hi Italy, and fig tiir this r.:epose had already persuaded a number of Stant*. between 17 and 19 years of,uge, to ac company them thither. By various robberies and bnrglari:s, they had already got together 400 rix dollars, which sum was found in the possession of Koch. Bandemer, a young man of bad character, was to be Captein of the proposed band, and they were to ,ct 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 tuauy parents into affliction, who sons were cogan , ed in the plot, was happily discovered. Koch and Krebs have been expelled fium the Gymnasium, at Joachitustal, but received into another, where they ore placed under strict superinteudance. Ban demar has since disappeared, and is sought after by the Police on account of robberies since committed. It is well known that Professor Jahn, among his gymnastic excreises, introduced a game which he called " The Banditti and the Travellers." Some persons suppose that this g,unie so much pleased the Students in question, that they resolved to practise it in earnest. FLANDERS MAIL. • 4 CONsTANTINOPLE, Dec. 29.—..0a the 26th, in the afternoon, the Marquis de Latour Harbour;, the French ambassador, arrived here on board une of the King's ships; the next day ho was visited by the diplomatic hotly. To-da p he received the formal visit of the interpreter of the Porte, and th e p resents usual from the Nile on this occasion. • . The Porte has reodved the following intelligence from Bagdad:--4hc Persians have entirely ceased • hostilitie, and peace may be considered as concluded hetwecn the two Powers. This notice was brought by a Tartar, who left lfigdad on tl:2 10th liovvin • bor. The Penian troops had repeatedly attacked . the pla.vs nettrct.l that city, but had always been repulsed with loss by the Paella's troops. Both par ties, %verity of this state of war, without any oltj-ct, tviticlt confirmed for a curtail:rub:a time, joyfully accepted the mediation of a She'll:. who is highly evteented by the Turks Gt that province, and also by Sehtuutle Mahornct Ali Mira, Governor of liertnan shah.

IG.—The change of Ministry was very seasonably made, and communicated to this province ; for those who had addressed the King on that subject 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 bad the intelligence one day prior to the period fixed upon. This, amonr , other things, evinces the truth of the observation which I formerly made —that the determinations of the executive upon this subject would be greatly influenced by the de cision of this province, which carries the chief weight in the scale of peninsular polities. The ardour of patriotism which actually prevails here may be esti mated by the singular phenomenon, of an unofficial individul, like Riega, reviewing the troops, accom panied by the Constituted Authorities us 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 Aetherities ; 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 wLre addressed by General Itiego, from the centre balcony, in the following terms"... " National tnilitia. -chpsen . ehildren 6r aa bete broad Barcelona, you hate see me fulfilling my in tention of addressiog you, before I proceed to the capital of free Spain. It is with ineffable delight that I contemplate your warlike, imposing, and pa triotic attitude; but my feelings are more deeply affected, when I consider the exquisite patriotism which you have discharged the datics of humanity in calamitous times. This generous conduct, un exampled in the history of the world, has entitled yea 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 itilicult to surpass ! " But there yet remains another act of s.2lf-devo tion to perform, which must be dear to the hearts of the children of liberty, and cannot be difficult for those who have already distiugitished them..:Aves by the practice of such tiublime virtues. " Union! union I union!

I.—As the wind continues to b e favourl,le, we have received for some days past news of a very recent date from Constantinople.— Some ve , s2ls have arrived here, which sailed from that city on the 29th of December. and they have brought private letters 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 arc stated to have been set at liberty. The termination of this affair, which is of such great importance to Turkey, is ascribed to the prompt intervention of England.— But yet there are some people who do not believe that this affair is entirely settled, The French Ambassador has been received by the government with much respect. The Porte observed the most profound silence respecting the Russian ultimatum; there is nothing surdrising in this ; vernments do not usually acquaint the public with the progress of negociations of thi: kind, and tht. Turkish government is still less communicative than any other. At all tvents, it mast wait fin- the answer of the Cabinct of St. Petersbure, which may make some modification in the actual state of the negoi•iations. Great exertions are making to equip the fleet for another expedition. The Mad sloop of war, Sir Chas. Barra:A, Bart. returned to Portsmouth on Monday, from New York She arrived there on the 2.5 t h.

Within an hour and a half after the arrival of the Hind, by the vigilance of the British Consul, and the offer of 500 dollars to the Magis trates, Tweedie was traced to his lodgings, and the option offered him of either being sent on board the Hind, or giving up the money: he acted upon the - latter, the amount being in bills.
