German Papers to a late date arrived last nicht. They confirm the report of a Missies Ukase prohibit ing the proceeding and elre.ing , the Lodges of Free masons throughout Russia and Poland. They also con tain contradictory statements respecting the move ments of the Persians. The following are extracts : SOPHIA (Oa IPILa&RIAc) Net. 19.—The reinforce ments that have necessarily arriied, have raised the Turkish army now in' the country to above 30,000 men ; and to this citicuitistance miy be ascribed the check on the petty mountain warfare, with an infinite number of more or less considerable bodies of partisans. A kind of typhus fever is said to rage among the gar rison of Rasgrad, in the Paehalik of Nicopoli. PRONTIERS or ITALY, Dec. 21.—We are entirely without authentic accounts of the Military operations of the Persians. At Smyrna commercial letters had been received, stating, that one of the corps had taken Erzerum, and the greater part of Armenia, and that Cardistan was in the power of another Persian corps. I lint they are said to have tetired from the side of Bagdad, sod to have entrenched Ilussorali for a short time, without any reason Appearing for this retreat. , We hare the same accounts from Alexandria, Gout which city they write, that the Pacha of Egypt ha s baen called epee by the Sultan to send a corps o f troops to Asia, and with another army to keep th e Weebabites, in check ; but that the Paella is not malt _ isc any arrangenti at, and did not seem disposed to obey these commando. Poem Tile DAstene, Dec. 24.—Authentic accounts front Widdin. of Dec. 9, say but little of the insurrec rection in Servia, which has been so much talked of; on the other band the Pacha of Salonichi has sent to the Pacha of Widdin the official account of the de struction of the Greek 1 eeurgent force at Cassandra after an obstinate engagement which lasted (Garters hours, and in which the Greeks lost about 6000 mete. —According to this Turkish account numerous di visions of Greeks laid down their arms, others fled en board Hydriat ships, which continued to infest that sea and the adjacent country. They had yen. -tared I landings on the coast, destroyed small tows, and villages, and distributed proclamations. The Pacha has already taken measures to put a stop to these disorders. He has detached 12,000 Asiatic troops to reinforce Chourachid Pacha. The Turks flatter them selves with ending the seine of the fort of Jeannie, by a general assault, the result of which can hardly be doubt ed.—(Nswenslrerg Correspondent, Dee. 29.) VIENNA, Dec. 2g .— Tue Austrian Observer of t:). day says—" Accoutireceived yesterday from the fron tiers of Dalmatia, confirm the previous news of the ad vantages gained over Ali Pacha by Chouriscbid Pubs (who has been lately appointed Pasha of 'loannina.) Os the 13th of Nov. he took the two forts Listarisza and La Willa, which are the Strongest outworks of Jeannie' ; and it is expected, with great probability, that Ali will soon be obliged to surrender, or, as has been long expected, to pat an end, by a desperate re solution, to the contest and his life together."

Pants. :so 5, nos O'CLOCK, T. m.—There are strong reports in o irrahttion to-day, that the Porte has accepted the Russian ofriaterforin. I enclose a extract of a letter from Frarokfitst, which, in Wide* to what is routained in the jeer's,* of this morning, Will pat yew lerrosuession of thg Nly gronnde•of the report.--- The adroit manner in which the peels whitilbritalle made to tally with the acceptance of the' oftimslene would seem to point it ont as a steeirjohbint isfveation. But the ace eptance of any wltiostterns will Wow signify nothing, and can hare no influence on the decision of the question whether the Emperor Alexander will 'Nit Constantinople before the expiration of a year. The French banisters are continuing to recruit their ranks. M. de Chateattbriand has accepted the si tuation ufilmhassador to London, vacant by the resignation of M. de Cates. He bad better make haste to his destination, atd avoid the discussion of the law on the perindicsl press, which, according to his previous declarations, be must oppose. The com mission, you will see, has bean appointed to exanline the project. There can be no doubt of the nature of its report when its composition is considered. Duly two members out of the nine are known to be opposed to Ministers on the question. M. Dorrieux le the only ' representative of the left side which it possesses, and M. de la B surdounaye of the extreme right. In the Altpuiteur you will find an account of a con spiracy in the garrison of Belfort. Though touch talked of, it has produced no unfavourable effect on the funds, the quotation of which at the close of the Mar ket stood as follows : Five per Cents..

The petition 'of Mr. Lovedar to the Chamber of De puties is now sold here in the shape of a pamphlet, and is the eubject of con ion is all companies.— The journals have of course been prohibited from men tioning it. The Prince of the church to whom he alludes is the Archbishop of Paris. Sober-minded people of all parties regret the foolish aril of the missionaries, as it tends to injure the causeW religion and to throw obstacles in the way of a moss liberal treatment of tin:Catholics of Ireland. _I • FRANk rellT, JAN. 1.--txtract of a pritateisteeew The papers of Vienna of the 25th of December do sot yet speak of the acceptance of the Russian ultimeatnat ; hut this silence has nothing in it astonishing. dace the news arrived at Vienna only on the night between the 25th and 26th. By the Estsfette whish locipsibt it here, we have likewise teamed that Prime Metter nich had received from Constantinople a letter which announced that the Persians load made peace with the Porte.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE STATESMAN. Sin—lt appears that the new Zealanders hove great horror of the crime of adultery, which they ,consider the most heinuos that can be committed. They also wake a most cations distinction as to the guilt of the parties, and their mode of ascertaining this guilt is extracted for the purpose of giving a biat to persons interested is suits of this descriptioe. " If the criminal connection is discovered its the hot belonging to the female, the man is iastmetly pro nounced the seducer, and thereupon coosigood to death. while the woman escapes with a mood beating; but if the contrary takes place, and Ilia **Welles lady is detected is thalami's Int, thou sloth osetsecod to boiler life, bets supposed to bays allured bet iglu% wile goes of with impunity."

In consequence of the reports of the Turks basing accepted the Russian Ultimatum, the Funds opened this morning at 781; anon after, however. they got down to 781 sellers. A rumour now prevails on 'Change. that private letters barn been received ea aellatikag fresh disturbances -in Madrid, is cause swayful' which the Spanish Funds have Mien d per cent.; but op to the present boor we have oat been able 1 to trace the grounds of the rumour. Paris parrs of Saturday have arrived. and brought intelligence of different kinds of considerable interest. Their tone, which, in concert with the other foreign journals, had, fur 1 days before, herr dcildedly warlike, is now entirely changed ; as wiMogiroar trout low the following articles . FRANKFORT, Dec. 31.-... An estefette, 11014.1m1 here from Vienna, announces, that a courier, *Witched on the 13th of December from Constantinople, had brought intelligence there, that the Porte had at last accepted the Russian mliimateina, Ishii sonic slight ino- 1 dificatione, the decision of whieli was left by the Ours man Government to the judznient of Austria. Porto, besides, demands that Austria, Franey, England, and Russia, shall he guarantees of the treaty. Since this news has become known, the folds have con tinued to rise. ANOTHER LETTER, SAME Da-re.—Letters from Vienna, writteu by persons worthy of credit, and dated the 24th, contaio the following passage:— " Though the metallic. experienced some depression to-day, well-informed persons pretend that there is nut the least probability of war." The latter part of this news is confirmed by an estafette arrived to-day from Vienna. The estafette left that city on the 25th at midnight, and brought a letter, of which the fol- lowing are the contents " VISSNA, Du. 25, MIDNIGHT.—A courier arrived ti-Wlyintriweeglo -lb* - idiapaciaajOalisce that ties Turkish Ministry has encored the arltirootues 2 Ras.' al.. This news spread with inerenilait rapidity; and, notwithstanding the solemn (cativo! of this day, the public funds have had a'cOnsiderable rise. In the even lug, it was added, the Grand Seignor accepted the old madam on the 19th of Dec. More precise details will probably be received to-toorsow. The above news as produced a great sensation in thecommercial world hire, and public foods have risen considerably. There are, however, many persons, among whom are some men of consequence, who put no faith in the intelligence. A few days more, and we shall know whither the state ment is true or not.—(Monitear, frosi . the Frankfort Jourasi.) On the subject of these articles the Courier Francais makes the following remarks :--" Souse speculators have , to-day circulated the.repart, that a banking house had received from 'Vienna. by an accelerated conveyance,. the assurance that the Porte had finally accepted the Russian uleimaitiiii; but this report may have no other foundation than an Exchange trick. The latest let ters from Odessa, a town in the Russian empire, 'cos cur in stating precisely the cos y." By the acknowledgement of the French official! Journal, however, France herself appears not to be disposed to tranquillity. To what extent the dispesi- tion extends, can only he the subject of conjecture; , bat the following statement slices, from the mode in which it has betrayed itself and the character of the persons involved in it, that the symptoms are ex.l trinsely serious:— " Pants. JAN. 2.—Criminal plots !lave bee bitched in the garrison of firlfort. The coospieney to take effect on the 04 Jan. and the tinwesoolusr cockade was to be mounted. The King's Lieutenant having received inforusatian of the design. drew out, ender arms, the battalion of the 29th regiment of the line. which forms the garrison of the place. and proceeded immediately to the barracks to arrest an ad jutant sub-officer, who was pointed 'out as one of the principal agents of this cri ini nal intrigue. Bruce, Pese ta, Desbordes, and Delacorube, who figured in the conspi racy of the 19th of August, 1820, were also arrested 'at the moment when they commenced their dight from the town. The guarding of these four prisoners was provisionally intrusted to the officer who commanded the neighbouring post ; . but soon after this officer himself lied along with Lis prisoners. Three other officers have also disappeared. One of the indi viduals arrested was the bearer of five packets of cartouclies. On arriving at one of the squares of the town. the King's Lieutenant fell in with a numerous group, which dispersed on his approach, bet from the midst of which a pistol-shot was fired. which struck him on the breast. The cross of st. Louis with which this officer was decorated misted the effect of the ball, and it is hoped that the wound will not be mortal. The soldiers have manifestos& the greatest indignation.
