The Wit report states, that, from the 24th to the 4 28th of September, there died in that town nt the yellow fever 2.3 persons, and that on the 28th there remained 343 affected by the same malady. At Cadiz its ravages continue to be alarming, ■nd it is remarkable that the daily mortality is more considersble now than at other periods, when this% town was afflicted by the same disease, al though the population was then more numerous. From the 13th of September, the day on which the existence of the yellow fever was first esta blished in Cadiz, to the 30th of the same mouth, there died 939 persons. On the 30th, 74 iiidiei. dual, died, and if we can believe private letters, 83 persons fell victims of the di.ew'e on the let of this month, and the number of the sick had then augmented extremely. . . Several changes have been made in the Spanish legations abroad. The King has nominated Father Dominguez to the Archbishopric,: of Santa-Fe-de-Bogoto, capital of the kingdom of New Granada. His Majesty has made many other ecclesiastical promotions for America. CONSTANTINOPLE, •IPTF.I4BBB 10. A great ministerial resolution has been effected, The Grand Matt, the Grand Master of the Cere monies, the ICiaya- Hey (Minister of the litterinr), and the Tchiaoux-flacehi (Grand Marshal), have been deposed. The Kepudan-Bey, or First Admiral, was ar rested by order of the Capidan Nam, and carried on hoard a ship of war moored opposite the Sesen Towers. He was examined sod convicted of want of firmness iu the late insurrection of the Janni saries, and of having exercised rapine in the islands of the Archipelago. Whets the examination was concluded, lie was immediately strangled, and his body thrown into the sea. The Inte Hospodar of Moldavia, Prince Charles Kallemachi, was received on his return to the capi tal with extraordinary honour. The Grand Vtoir sent him a most gracious letter, and a pelisse of ermine. This is the more remarkable, a. all other liospodars recalled from their Governments dare not shew themselves in public, and are generally strangled. It is thought that the present distinction in his favour is for the purpose of rendering the Government more popular in Moldavia. where a considerable hostility to the Turkish power prevails. The plague continues to make progress in this capital. DUTCH MAIL. HAGUE. OCTOBER 19. Ye:terday bring the day fixed for the opening of the Session of the States General, the Members or the two Cliarnl.ers assembled in the Hall of the See,.lid Chamber. The Count de Thiennes dr Lombize, as Presi dent of the Fi st Chamber, announced that his Alaiesty had appointed R Commission to open the Sitt My, the death of the Princess of Brunswick not ailltiwing his :Majesty to open it in person. as usual. The Royal Commissioners having been intro. daceil with the nsual forms, the Minister for the I limit. Department read the opening speech in his Majesty's name, after first announcing the death of the Princess of Brunswick. The following is the substance of this speech:— This stilling will be of the highest importance, as the states* General will have to discos. measures which will com plete the edifice of the Constitutma. His Majesty has the satisfaction to announce that the most cordial friendship con tinues to exist with all foreign Powers, and that •II of them are animated with the most ardent desire of peace, so that 'lsere is every realms to presume that all the nations of Europe will continue to enjoy entire tranquillity.

" His Majesty then proceeds to the finances, in which he vise. the Assembly will be convinced, that economy has been souilied as much as possible. He lamest., however, that the army is an expensive, and wishes that this branch could be s'iminialiett, hut that the position and relations of the king own. make it necessary to follow the example of other Towels. The state of the siukiag fund will be laid before Assembly though but a few years have elapsed since it was established, its good effects have been already felt. Some measures will he proposed to remove the few dif ferences which sell exist in the duties and privileges of the inhabitants of the Netherlands in all part• of the kingdom, including the Grand Duchy of I.axembor•.

PARIS PAPERS. PARIS. OCTOSCR 21. Yesterday, after mass. the King received the oaths of the Bishops of Vannes, Nantes. and Saint Urieux. His Majesty afterwards held a Council 4 , f 111inisters, and after four o'clock went to the Elyree Bourbon, to visit the Duchess of Berry. An English trsveller of high rank in the British miry, has been threatened by letters with the most infamous accusations. if he did not send a consider- able IUM of money to two young men whose names were signed to the letters. He at first despised the threat, and at length consented t• take a sum of 60 fr. to a place appointed, where he succeeded in having the two swindlers arrested. The case was heard yesterday before the Correctional-Tribunal with closed doors, sud one of the young men was sPntenced to two years', and the othe► to five years' i mprisomment.

We have received Paris Papers of Tors ley, Wednesday, and Thursday last. Our readers will be not a little surprised, after having seen in the extracts from the French Papers positive assertions respecting the arrival of the Princess of WALES to Paris, now to learn that her Royal Highness has not us yet made her appearance in that ci►y. %Vith the Editors of those Papers the matter ought not to have been one of conjecture and unfounded asser tion; it could not have been very difficult for them to s•certain the truth, or to remain silent upon the subject, if they were unacquainted with the cir cumstances. iVe lament to find that the yellow fever still con. tinues its dreadful ravages in Cadiz. but it has io a great degree intermitted its violet.ce in the Isle of Leon. Hope• may therefore be eotertained that the inhabitants of Cadiz will be soon enabled to join in the solemn Te Deem with which the people of the Isle of Leon are resolved to express their gra. titude to Ilessen, for the interposition of divine mercy. According to • letter received iK Paris from Alton•, it would seem that this fever at Cadiz, although its victims have beeu surprisingly nume rous, is cot of a very malignant description, for it failed in very few instauces to yield to medical treatment, when assistance was promptly afforded at an early stage of the malady. The sodden journey of the Emperor of Russts to Warsaw, his, it would seem, been rendered or? emery by the agitated state of the public mind iu Poland. We are told that " Poland experiences the natural effects of a forced situation. The wishes of the Poles to be reunited under one sceptre not being practicable without affecting the interests of two great Powers. it is thought that his Majesty was desirous of personally Obeying the imprudent ardour of the Poles, and of tranquillizing the spirits, somewhat too sanguine. which have given birth to all sorts of absurd reports." Ti►t Emperor purposes to visit Odessa, Tagaurok, and the countries border ing on Caucasus. for the purpose of completing va rious commercial projects. A writer in St. Peters burgh observes. that " Turkey imposes no impedi ments or restrictions upon Russian commerce; that the Russian B,g freely floats over the Dardanelles; bat the neighbourhood of the plague is very incase modiOus, and the plague will not cease i mist, • x Mao Geouce Accessiun.—lloliday at the Bauk, Exchequer, E■st India, and South Sea [loam.

The writer proceeds to remark, that the very best understanding exists between Russia and the Sub lime Porte ; bat it is to be presumed that Russia has not renonneed her claim to the formal recognition of her rights to Mingrelia, now occu pied by the Russian troops, under General Yu eaoLor." There also exists another point of dis pute between Russia and Turkey, namely, the little nation of the Abs.',t' now surrounded by Russian possessions, but to which the Porte lays claim as having been a vassal of the Ottoman Crescent. Saturday afternoon arrived at Portsmouth the Importer transport, from St. John's, Newfoundland, ( n t wen ty day., bringing a company of artillery and inv .lids from the garrison. No news by her. The Everia was to sad for England in the next month (November.) Captain BowEER and all the officers and crew of the Sir Francis Drake, lately paid off there, will return home in her, except Mr. AIATNIE, Master, who has been appointed Master- Attendant, anti Mr. SHANKS, Purser, who has been appointed Storekeeper at St. John's. The Tamar, 29, Captain the Hon. J. Goat:tot'. was refitting, having been on shore and dismasted : she was to proceed to Halifax. Captain SIIITENRR has taken the command of the Fgeria, vice Captain ROWLRY, involicird ; Captain GLASSCOCK, of the C'arnatioa ; Lieutenant ROGER HALL, of the Egeria, the com mand of the Drake. It has been often remarked, that when a Prince desires war with a foreign nation, he seldom wants cause of quarrel. We believe that ■t present there is not in Eat- Folios perhaps in the world, a Government more truly pacific in principle than that of Turkey, nor one which seems more willing to make sacrifices of the most extensive kind to preserve peace with its neighbours. It seems, however, that with Turkey cause of war shall never be wanting, for should the Porte make every concession of territory and charac ter that could be required by her sternest enemy, the existence of the plague in Constantinople will always furnish a pretext for invading her provinces and po ting her subjects to the sword. The Emperor of Russia will iii his mercy apply a specific to the thseatw, and kindly cut the throats of the unfortu nate Turks, to preserve them from falling victims to the plague ! The French Journalists seem to take a great in terest in CARLILE'S trial, and a considerable por t. of their brief columns is occupied with ex tracts from it. The Joined des Debuts remarks upon the condemnation of CARLILE, as a proof that political liberty is well understood in Eng land, and expresses a hope that French juries, following the example set to them by England, will one day have sufficient energy to punish the publication or the impious jests at religion, which disgrace the works or VOLTAIRE, and the suppres sion of which would contribute to the advantage even of literature. A letter from St. Helena, dated August 16, con tains the following extract :—" BONAPARTE has been on evidently better terms with his condition here since he received information that .is request to have a spiritual instructor sent out to him would be complied with. This circumstance, strange as it may appear. has afforded him very great satisfac tion. He now walks out nearly to the barracks : he is grown very fat." We lately mentioned that several of our Officers in Jamaica had fallen victims to the yellow fever. The following extract from a letter, dated Port Royal, September 3, contains the following de tails : a Colonel Sparrow, Deputy-A djntant.General of the Forces, died on the 224 of last month, of the yellow fever, which is now raging here in all its horrors. The 50th and 02.1 regiments are arrived here from Ireland, the latter so late as the dilt of June—a season when those assimilated to the climate expect sickness. The fever broke out the latter end of June, in she 50th regiment, in the most aggravated and appalling form. Colonel Hill, Ensign Barlow (son of General Barlow), and seven other Officers, with about 190 men, 23 women, and 15 children, fell victims in a very short space of time; as well as Lieut.-Colonel Blaney, two other Officers, and 150 men and children of the 93.1. I lament to say, its ravages have by no means ceased. Sir Home Popham, who has evinced au anxiety to second the zealous exertions of our Commander-in-Chief, General Coons, has in the most handsome manner given up, for the use of the troop', the Seraphis convalescent ship; and his kindness, in every way, Is our melancholy situation, does honour to his heart?'

Some changes hare been made in oar 3liuistry. Of the above sufferers, Colonel HILL. of the 30th regiment, who was the oldest person in the corps, having served in it 47 years, fell a sacrifice to his humanity. It is said that the men refused to act as norms to their comrades in the hospital, all those who had done so having died. After some pause, four privates of the grenadiers offered their services, which were accepted. Two of them in a short time became victims to the pestilence, and the other two instantly withdrew their assist ance. This hopeless state of things did not long remain; for Colonel HILL exclaimed-6• Then, The three military authorities of the Empire, viz. the Captain elicits, the Aga of the Janissaries, and Topolsehi Fiche, are continnally occupied in seeking out the authors or chief promoters of the late troubles, who after a short interrogatt )))) disappear for ever. Among others, the Cap tain Bey, first Admiral of the fleet, who was suspected of having favoured these troubles, or of not having shewa sof ficient energy in suppressing them, lots been arrested, taken on boned a ship of war, tried, and strangled immediately, and his body thrown into the sea.

Recording to report, has been offered the office of Lord Lieutenant and Custot Rolebrunt of the West Riding of Yorkshire, in the room of Earl FITZWILLIAM. The character and influence of such seen as the venerated Nobleman thus displaced, era the best security of the throne, and they cannot be weakened or impaired without exposing it to danger. No confidence in their own strength can justify Ministers in this policy. if every man, who, refusing to them • passive obedience, darts to exercise hia own judgment on legal and constitu tional questions. is to be visited with the vengeance of the Executive. they make their Prince, who is the father of his people, the head of • party. The state of • I'rince so reduced is too strongly illus. tested in the following anecdote to require any comment : The Dutch Papers of the 420th, which have arrived, announce the opening of the Session of the States General of the Netherlands, at the Hague, on the lath.

The winter has commenced with a suddenness and severity unprecedented in this country. The frost and snow of Thursday night were general over the island. At Brighton and several other places in the south, they were preceded by a heavy storm of thunder and lightning. The Welsh mountains have since remained covered with the garb of win ter, and the recent accounts from the north repre sent the storm and its effects as not less severe to that quarter. The wind blew from the north-west, and has done considerable damage iii ar:d about the metropolis. The roads at the entrance of London were in several parts impassable, particularly at Walthainstow, where a number of trees were torn up by the roots, and lay across the highway, com pelling travellers to make a circuit of several miles. The snow had also accumulated near • foot deep, and the pathways in the fields were not passable for people ou foot. Tine great and uniform heat of the weather, up to the middle of last week, so extraordinary at this advanced season of the year, has given to this sudden appearance of winter a character novel in this country, and resembling the sudden transitions of • Russian clunstr. *October had two-thirds elapsed without its usual concomitant, the fall of the leaf; the trees had .lost a comparatively small portion of their ver dure ; the descending snow was thus intercepted in the trees, in which it congealed into ice, which broke down the branches with its weight, or assisted the hurricane in tearing them from their roots. Thus where the trees have withstood the fury of the elements, the eye is every where attracted by the damage sustained in their shattered branches.
