Air were to give in their resignations, 'whit the reception of the Minister of Finance, who was. h is said, to be re tained. The last debates of the Cortes have produced a very good effect on the public opinion ; the most vio lent talk only now of obedience. With - regard eves to i the obedience of the C hiefs at cats wod Seville. then can hardly exist a doubt ; fot at this mo t ent. wh at r er+ may become of the.Ministiy. no person ffere thinks o! any resistance; and wha t satisfies me particularly po• this point is the opinion I heard expresed this intarnind. by one of the leaders o f the o pp osition , who coiseZl. all resistance impossible from the moment the • • had explained. This manner of thinking is also ge neral ; and the moral force of the Cortes, which is im tnet.se, is a great source of confidence to all the friends, of order. A report has been spread that 'Velem). the • Commandant -at Seville, had taken the field at theheatl. of some battalions. It was first put in c irculation yes-, terday, sled not being confirmed to-day, appears,con ' telnently to he unfounded.

PARIS, Dec. 24. —Nothing yet appears fixed or . decided it, the position or movements yf the French Ministry. On Saturday there was a sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, but no question was mooted onl which a trial of ministerial s t ren g th, or of party po li!ics, could take place. The right side mustered in great force—the Liberals were at their post. and the centre war newt)! deserted. Three of the Ministers, who ire members of the Chamber, (Messrs. de Coe- Villele, and Peyronnet,) attended in their places, but were not culled upon to speak. The three twelfths of the taxes were granted them as a matter of costae. It would indeed have been unreasonable, by - - the refusal, to have announced a prospective distrust t -of men against whom experience had as yet establish ., ad no act of impoiicy, and on whom positive declara tion bad fixed no fatal pledge. Their promised law on the press, and their first despatch from the Foreign office, will constitute at once the test of their poll deal system and the trial of their othcial strength. — If we could lend faith to reports current in the bast informed political circles. their decision in the latter case must be prompt and unhesitating, as Russia is said at last to bare declared openly her hostile intro- Coos with , enrol to Turkey. All the letters, com mercial as well as political. from the cities of the north of • Ettropc, such as Berlin, Petersburg. Riga, * and Leipsk, speak of war between Alexander and the Porte as no longer doubtful. The funds of Russia, anti the rate of exchange on that empire have, in con sequence, been affected at Frankfort and Paris. You will have received by the ordinary post, hla drid papers and letters to the 13th inst.; and the French Government journals of this morning will sup ply you with the usual assortment of anarchical dis- turbaoces and revolutionary movements. It is need less to mention, that the former are as silent on those' disturbances and movements as the accounts of the latter are exaggerated and alarming. The Cortes bare displayed much firmness, wisdom, and trumpet, in their deliberations and decision on the state of Anda lusia. 1 have seen letters from Madrid of the 15th, two days later than those of the ordinary courier. Every thing was then quiet. A change of Ministry. though highly probable, was not then finally decided on. lxxocasrs.-11eilday at the Public Offices. - - Cbe btatefintan. •• THE Sutras STATESMAN " Is moan's/alga %my " STATESMAN."

(EXTRACT OF A LETTER FRON NEC TORE, DEC. 1.1 A brisk correspondence is going on between the Secretary of State and the new Spanish Minister An degas. It is supposed to relate to Florida affairs, and the protest, of Messrs. P. Callova and Coppinger. The affairs and claims under the Florida treaty, it am not much mistaken, will present a scene such as has not been often represented. There is a mystery that remains to be unravelled. It appears that Don Oais was willing to claim a larger stun than five millions • in the treaty, but that the American negotiators would not consent to insert more than five millions ; the claim altogether amounting perhaps to forty millions, though probably not more than twenty are good.

To this M. Perrier re plied, that there was an increase in the supply. It was admitted, however, by the latter. and by General F.'y, that under present circumstances, the passing of the law was necessary, and it was accordingly carried, by a majority Accounts bare bees, received from Odessa, by way of Paris, dated theld inst:, stating tliat fresh Massa errs have taken place at Constantinopte. *o mention is made in them of the report current some days ago, that the Sultan bad been murdered, and, that.the head of the Janissaries exercised the powers of Government. La tters from Spain, us stated in another part of our paper, as well as the public journals, are of a favour able character; The sealed report of the Commission on the King's Message was opened and read in a sit ing of the 11th inst. This report is of a length which preclatles its insertion in our columns to-tisy. —lt sums up the errors of Ministers, strongly urges their dismissal, and recommends that the Cortes should second any efforts of his Majesty to that end. The following are the words with'which it closes :—" The conclusion is, that it is necessary to address a message to his Majesty, in which the Cortes shall set forth— " 1. Tbat in ostler to appease the apprekensiun and distrust of the nation; and give to Llovertinsent A t e re quisite influence, it is expedient that his fasieety should deign to make that reform in his admisistwa lion which circumstances render absolutely necessaft. " 2. That if his Majesty should think any NON" tive measures requisite for the 'remedy of the evils and abases complained of, the Cortes would he ready to take into consideration any projet of law which his Majesty, in his wisdom, should deem fit to of 281, against 13. propose." This second part of the report was attacked with warmth by several deputies, who maintained that if Ministers were guilty, they should be summoned to the bar ; on the contrary. their conduct and their re putation could not be attacked in any way whatsoever. The Minister of the Interior made some observations in justificntios. M. Calstrava;a member of the Committee, observed to the Minister, that having lost all confidence in public opinion, he saw no other remedy than a change of Ministers. M. Lopez Nlarcial was of opinion that Ministers ought to be called to the bar to justify themselves. After this short discussion the sitting broke up, t o be resumed and continued next day. The Dublin journals received to-day, give the ac count we hare inserted in another part of our paper, of the awful proceedings which have taken place under the Special Comtuissics at Limerick. The impressioti made by them upon the popular mind appears to be ef fectual. The papers of to-day are silent as twthe com mission of any further outrage. Our readers will have observed that, however otter journals may be liable to the charge of witbholdinp " any thing to give the lamer", the tradesmen or any class, such information as was calculated to check the ruin which now spreads over the country," the Statesman is completely esempt. For a lons time past we have unremittedly occupied a large portion of our columns with discussions on the subject which is so deeply interesting to the public, the depression of the markets and the effects of that depression on the owners mad occupiers of land. This we have don. not only because we thought it of the highest im portance in itself, but because we saw it likely to prove one of the principal moving causes ofT thin retrenchment and reform. which in spite of the reluctance of the advocates of corruption meet. ha some degree. at least, take place. without delay. We have pursued this plan for other reasons besides —to convince the Agriculturalists, both landlords and tenants, that all the attempts they may be encouraged to make to obtain high prices by restriction. air equally absurd, impracticable, and anklet ; sad. ow warn the public early against such schemes of this kind as weak or designing men sleight setos foot. 1 n our paper of yesterday were various articles, of so promi nent a nature as did sot require to be,pointed out, which tended to shew, in a convinciag miliallef. the in etie,aay of every expedient to Wiese the agricultural diatresses, short of a large abatement of taxatiou ; and, today, we bare inserted, with a similar view, come accoest(which we shall hereafter continue) ofthe " ••• •• • •• A; lor. .►4.. -Interim& ve lk Die e tin gni i ertforaram.% 7 ... 1 o th er meetia loediliotiell pie .ged the points at which we aitu . - ....t ...A aspeepos. -111rtilloitinieg die relief tiled: :be etfected, and re arguments•.whick.nharacterizes such a. interest or capital of tbeitational leave the public creditor a Tains eqqa -..osertleelL:as being a violation:of the lac faith,lkilloggridgei an enlightened and patriotic' 31/01ftnit itloomouthshire, . at : the meeting •at nHsa toktenves that those who use It would do well is ion to that most unprincipled, and then unpreeti dented breach of faith of which Ministers were guilty, when they authorised the Bank of.

One of the objects of the Eat, of ITANBO o rt, in his letter and proposed' petition, is to rectify this injustice, by obtaining a reduction in the amount of lanes and other payments, in the same pro portion as the value of the currency has been enereased.,:, This appears to his Lordship fair, and likely to be satisfactory to the freehold ers of gent; yet, his Lordship's father, by -bringing his Bill into the House of Lords to give a more poWerful operation to the B.tnk of England notes, sanctioned the tenant in paying their land lords for rent, contracted for in gold, a paper currency that was depreciated to two-thirds of its nominal value. For this act his late Lordship, for once in his life, was popular among his rustic neighbours ; but, let the consequence be mtrked, the Landlords were, in justice to themselves, obliged, of course, to raise their rents, and the high rents, which were the natural con sequence of the me4sure they applauded, now form one of the grievances of which they complain. • Advices from Cadiz to the 6th inst., reeeiresi yes terday, by way of Gibraltar, statlithat the King's toes tvige to the Cortes. relative to the late occurrences at Cadii, and the answer of the Cortes reached that city un the Ist The acting Commandant-Oeneral of the province immediately communicated their contents to the inhabitants, together with the determination Of that assembly to refer the messain - I to a special committee. • The wishes of Cadiz' having .thus been complied.with, and her petitions being,now antler the. consideration of ihe fathers of the nountry, the Cam snandant exhorted the population to await their de cision with calmness and composure. • Accounts front Warsaw, of Dec. 4, state, that an Ukase has been issued prohibiting freemason lodges in Russia; they have been shut up since the 15th of October. This has excited the greatest sur p r ise, as the Empertir'Aleiliader himself has teen..dilated into the mysteries of that order. The execution of this measure is inexplicable except from motives of the highest importance. It was yesterday currently reported in the higher circles, that a successor to a very high confidential situation near his Majesty's person, had been named, and that Sir W. Knighton had received an intimation to that effect. We are informed that there is no foundation for the rumour, disseminated by The Courier, of Mr. Gordon having quitted the Greek service after the taking of Tripolizza. Tux MARQUESS .WELLESLET.—TIis Excellency the Marquess IVellesley, Word Lieutenant of Ireland, alighted and changed horses at the Talbot Inn, in this town (Shrewsbury) yesterday afternoon (Tiles day the 25th instant,) on his way to assume the Vice Regal Authority. The Noble Marquess was to sleep last night at Brynkinalt, the seat of Lord Dungan non, and is expected to reach Dublin on Thursday.— (Salopian Journal.) It is with pleasure we have to state, that the ex ports of British manufactures to the United States, from this port, are at present more considerable than has been known for some time past ; and not on the manufacturers account, but in consequence of orders from America, and, we believe, in many instances. the goods are paid for before they have this country. --(Liverpool Advertiser.) intact POPLINS AND TABINSTS.-The prohibition which heretofore existed upon the importation of Irish poplins and cabinets into Great Britain has besot dons away, and the same may now be imported upon payment of the proper duties, whether imported foe sale or private use. All such articles are required, epos the importation. to be sent to the Custom House for the purpose of being charged with the duties ; and if any shall be imported without the payment of the duties, they will be liable to seizure, and the parties concerned in the unshipping to a prosecution for treble the value. The following is from The Charleston Courier : " By Thomas Ogier, on Monday. the 3d of December, will be sold at the north side of the Custom-house, at eleven o'clock, belonging to the estate of Dr. Robert Wilson, deceased, a lot of land,. situated on the west side of Meeting-street-road, about two miles from Charleston.—Also a wench, about 43 years of a( who understands every thing about , the cultivation a garden, and is a good market woman—A Negro low, named September, and his wife Judy, olden I negroes, who have been in the habit of cultivating garden —A fellow, named Frank, about twenty-ft years of age, lame in his left arm; can gri-ol corn. at has been is the habit of &Wing the cart.—A wencl named JUN,' abet thirty' years Ow. with her am six Yaara:4 age, Is .a goo Weaber-wousan.— ntl, a chair-horse. elude, sod new harness, and cart." .
