' • The French Papers which arrived yesterday bring the official intelligence of the formation of a military cordon on the frontier of the Austrian States towards Moldavia and Wallachia. The reason aysigin.l for this measure is the progress of the contagious disease in those principalities. Notice has been publicly given of the circumstance, in order, it is said, to prevent misrepresentation. The ad vices from Trieste remark that the Turkish commanders have as yet made no use of the great force they have at their disposal.- Tenants' PACHA alone is active; but be has been hitherto unsuccessful. He has gained no ad vantage since the fell of Navarino. The dissensions that literal' among the Ottoman Chieftains are most probabiy the cause of their reluctance to co-operate, and the Greeks, who are, on the contrary, beginning to unite and act to gether as cordially as their beat friends could desire, are busily employed in availing themselves of the favourable opportunities which this state of things presents to them. The last defeat of the combined army under the walls of Alissolonglii was perhaps the most serious the Alumni mans have sustained during the war. Their loss was estimated to amount to 4000 men. The Russian etnpirt remains perfectly tranquil. All the Polish troops and the Russian army of Lithuania have taken the oath of allegiance to the new Eutzaos ; and news was momentarily and confidently expected that the same ceremony had been performed by the army of the South. The preparations are making for the opening of the Section of the Chambers at Paris. On Saturday the De puties assembled in their hall to ballot for the Grand De putation to receive the KING in the Royal Sitting. The French funds are rather declining. [Cram the Etude dated Sunday, Jan. 211 TRIESTE, JAY. 12. Hitherto we have not received any news untitroumble to the Greeks tither from the Mores or IVestem Greece. It is molly Bur. prising thiit neither the Capitan Pacha nor Redschid Pacha has yet made any u,eof the forte at their disposal. Ibrahim Paths is the only commander Mho continues to proceed with some energy; but the oper.itions which he has till now attempted to execute with de tached corps have not succeeded. It is confirmed by several letters that the greatest disagreement prevails between these commandoes, and that the conferences which they have held to determine tbetplaa of the further operatioos have nut had the result that was expected 'tom them. The only thing that Ibrahim has effected is, that Patru and the whole district along the south side of the golf of Lepanto are new in his power. Jussut Pacha had returned to Lepanto as soon as the troops which he commanded were obliged to arsenate Patna. lie was to embark on bosail a Turkish man of war, to return by the Archipelago to Constantinople, because the Porte hat appointed him to a Government in Asia Minor. This reninval, which is ascribed to the influence of Ibrahim, has nroi:aceti s very unfavourable impression on the Turks, and has still further increased their jealousy of the Egyptians and their Commanders. It seems, however. that the espitan Pseha has the most forma orders of his Government to nrtimain a good untterstauding with Ibrahim, so that he is obliged to show himself more submissive to the son of the Viceroy of Egypt than he would under other cir. curnstances. The passage of a corps of Egyptian troops into Etolia to attack Illissolonghi, together with Redschid Pacha, has not yet taken place. Various reports are spread to account for this inaction. The most probable is, that Ibrahim has resolved to take Atro. Corinth before he marches to %Vattern Greece. The first attempt of une of his Generals to penetrate into it has not succeeded. Ile lair just sent thither apart of the Egyptian army which the CoPi tan Pachisi had conveyed to Paints. He has also sent thither troops from the Marra by way of Tripolizza, so that the Greeks nest Corinth will be in a critical situation. In order to occupy the attention of the Greek troops stationed in Eastern Greece sat► &wadi., the Taeba OiNegri:3l)o . lu, who, however, has but a weak corps at his disposal, left Luba* to adiance to Thebes, but he came too soon, and not being supported, was beaten. and forced to retreat to Negropont. There are but very few Turkish troops remaining in the Sperehius. All are gone to Acarnania and Etolia to reinforce Rrrischitl Patha. Farts - tsu En Nns.—PARIS, JAN.

Among the contents is a letter from the Grand Duke CONSTAN• N t to the Emperor NICHOLAS, in reply to a communica tion announcing the accession of his Imperial Mijesty to -the throne. The terms in which CONSTANTIN): expresses himself are those of unlimited submission mid entire devo tion. No stranger in blood could ptotnise obedience in language less reserved or equivocal. Whatever may have been the motives that actuated the Cr ssROMITACII, or .the influence that was exerted over him, he appears now to he quite contented to aperuk the remainder of his days as his brother's subject. We do not observe any notice of his in tention to repair to St. Petersburgh, as stated by the Ikrlits paints. Cuilitary to public expectation;tlte Emperor Nt c ioLA s .-f --- • vo - A e TIIE BRITISH PRESS. I has resolved to continue the system of military colonisation established by his predecessor. The official report lately published represented the military colonies as a complete failure as to the pitrpcises fur which they were formed, while they were equally burdensome to the people and offensive to the nobles. Yet it seems the, system is to re main. How are we to account for this extraordinary inconsisteney? The distressed state of the manufacturing population has begun, at length, to excite the attention of all think ing men. The condition of the Silk Trade naturally takes the lead ; and it does so from the striking example which it affords of a thriving manufacture reduced, by a sudden chaMe of policy, to a state of confusion and ruin. The time ►s come when we trust pause and look about us, and when our Statesmen—even the most sanguine as to the results of the new system—will be compelled to ask them selves, Can that measure be salutary which is productive of such results? In the concerns of commerce, as in those of common life, the question is not what is speculatively best, hut what can be put in practice with most advantage, and with least risk to those interests which we intend to benefit. That there should be a freitloni of inter course between all the kingdoms of the earth is no doubt most desirable, if we look no further ti►an the abstract pmposition. But you must first place all these kingdotns in the same relative situation before you can reckon upon the benefit which, taken separately, they might derive from it. If all nations were to begin the world anew, then would freedom of trade be the only true policy, inasmuch as it would promote the Interes:s of each and the advancement of all. But here lies the error. We argue es if this were actually the case, and as if Great Bri tain might open her ports to all foreign goods with the same advantage to her agriculturists, manufacturers, and artificers, as she might hare done two hundred years ago. This manifestly cannot be: to attempt it is sheer infatua tion. Look at the magnitude of the calamities that it is bringing upon the manufacturing classes. We are dislo cating the whole system of commerce, arid the Revenue is suffering in all its branches. Ifow are we to stem the tor rent of these evil consequences? Our answer is short—by departine from the system which has produced 'them. The Meeting convened at the Mansion House for the purpose of relieving the distress of the Spitalfield weavers does credit to the benevolence of these by whom it was at tended. But can we, tiler all, help casting back our minds to the cause of that distress which originated this Meeting ? Is it not painful to reflect that the earnest ap peal they made to the humanity of the people is made for the sole purpose of relieving the misery produced by a measure of legislation ? Laws for the regulation of trade must be tried by the only test by which they are triable: the actual pod they produce towards the trade they profess to benefit. By this test they must stand or fall. If the im proved principles of commerce which the political Econo mists have proinulg,ated for the guidance and government of the commercial world, are not fitted to the order of things which they are prescribed to regulate, the result must, and will, be ruinous. We are not in condition to try experi ments. We have an extensive commerce, the prosperity of which we must uphold—we have a heavy public debt, for the interest of which we must provide. These are both of then. serious objects to look to—we cannot calculate for either by DE Memel upon Chances. We most sincerely wish well to the subscription entered into for the weavers of Spitalfields. We are gratified to see the Bishop of Curve R take so conspicuous a lead in promoting it. His seal to mitigate hums misery; *beaver he finds it, is as honourable in itself as it is useful in the example. But after all—and we say it with painful con viction—the amount of the subscription, however liberal it may be, cannot grapple with the wretchedness it is meant to relieve. The ruined weavers are too numerous, and the cause which has deprived them of bread is too deep and lasting, to look for any abiding relief from public charity. In saying this, we have no wish to stay the hand of hu manity. God forbi4 I We are only anxious lest the desti tute objects of this almsgiving should suffer by the atten tion of the public, and of Parliament, being withdrawn by it from the real cows of their distress ; and lest, when this fund of benevolome shall be exhausted—as it soon must be—their amides shusdd be left without remedy. A (finds, of an extraordinary and revolting nature was permitted to take place yesterday at the City of London Tavern.

The trumpeter attending the escort notifying the fung's arrival at the Castle by the sounding of his trumpet, as is usual on the approach of -the King ) which being a very novel occurrence at %Vineisor, attracted a number of spectators, the price ssion being similar to when his Majesty goes to the Theatres, or any other public vc casion, except to the houses of Parliament.... - . Arrangements having been made for holding a Chapter of the Order of- the Garter. a procession was formed in a private room to confer die Ribanal vacant by the ti, cease of .the Bari of Carlisle, Knight Companion of the Order. The Knights Companions present on this occasam were their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York and Clarence, the Earl of Westmorland, the Duke of Moiarti.e, the Duke of 'Wellington, the Earl of 'Liverpool, anal Earl Bathurst. The Officers of the Order were the Prelate of the Ordur (the Bishop of Winchester). the Dean of Windsor (Registrar of the Order), Garter Principal King of Arms (Sir Geo. Nayler). After the Knights Companions and Officers had pro. ceeded from the private apartment into the chapter loom with the usual ceremonies, and hail taken their respective places, according to their ranks, at a table prepared for that purpose, the Officer of the Order signified his Maksty's commandlor filling the vacant Stall. ' His Grace the Duke of Dorset, the King'e Master of the Horse, was then in troduced into the presence of the Chapter, and received the honour of Knighthood from the King; his Grace 'then retired. The suffrages were then collected from the different knights forming the Chapter, when his Grace Me Duke of Dorset waadeclared dilly elected. His Grace was then re ceived at the door of the Chapter room by ttt two junior Knights present, attended by Garter Principal King of Arms bearing the Ensign of the Order; his Grace was then introduced to the King, who was graciously pleased to invest the Duke therewith. The Officer of the Order pronounced the usual admonition to the newly elected Member of this Order, who received the congratulations of all the Members present. The Chapter being ended, Garter King of •Arms calicd over the Knights Companions, and the procession returned in the order in which it had been made in the Chapter room. The King was dressed in the Windsor uniform under Lis robes. Mr. Secretary Canning had a long audience of his Ma jesty, which occupied near an hour; after which the Right Hon. Gentleman introduced the Brazilian Minister, Lord Ponsonby, and Mr. Alexander Cockburn, the Portuguese Anibarsador,to an audience, and Count Lieven the Russian Ambassador, who, it was understood, delivered to the King the notification of the decease of the late Emperor Alexander, and his credentials of appointment by the new Emperor. The King held a Privy Council, which was attended by the Lord President, Lord Privy Seal, First Lord of the treasury, the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, the Secretary of State for Foreign AHeira, the Secre tary of State for the Colonial Department, the Lord Cham berlain, the Lord Steward, the Master of the Horse, tke. Mr. Buller attended as Clerk of the Council. His Majesty's Speech, as arranged by the Cabinet Council on Friday, for the opening of the Session of Par liament on Thursday, was submitted to the King and ap proved of. The King proceeded to prick the list of sheriff's for the present year, as nominated by the Judges and others on the morrow of St. Martin, in the Court of Exchequer, before the Lords of the Council. A proclamation was agreed upon to be issued respecting the copper coinage. The King gave audiences to the Earl of Harrowby and the Earl of Liverpool. Lord Graves and Sir William Koppel were the Lord and Groom in waiting. The Court broke up a little before five o'clock, when his Majesty and suite returned to the Royal Lodge to dinner. Refreshments were provided for the whole of the persons who attended his Majesty's . Court from the Royal Lodge. The Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Itiestmorland, Earl Bathurst, and Mr. Canning, went to dine with die King at the Royal Lodge, and arrangements were made for the whole of the distinguished party to s:cep there, except the Earl of Liverpool. On Sunday, about one o'clock, Count :Munster arrived at the Royal Lodge, aiftl had an audience of the King, and after partaking of some refreshment returned to London. THE GOVERNMENT OF IRELAND. It has been confidently asserted in the Orange Journal of this part of the kingdom, and particularly by the Evens ing Mail, that there is to he a change in the government of the country—in short, that Lord Wellesley is ahout to retire, and to be succeeded by an Orangeman. We con fess, we had ourselves some misgivings on the subject, after reading the speech of Mr. Dawson, and expressed ourselves to that effect on a former occasion. The public, the men, whether Protestant or Catholic, who love peace, who wish to see the laws impartially but firmly executed —the public, who do not desire to see the government of the country carried on through the medium of the law Courts, need not, we are much gratified in being able to state with confidence, be under any apprehensions that such a result will take place. Within the last few days, we have been informed that his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant has received a letter, by order of the King, from Mr. Secretary Peel. stating his Majesty's entire and high approbation of the judicious, conciliatory, and states man-like manner in which the government of Ireland has been adtuinistered.—Dehlin Peening Post. His Majesty has been graciously pleased to direct the application of one thousand pounds towards the relief of the distress at present existing among the journeymen silk weavers of Spitalfielila. The Duke of York passed through this city yesterday evening about five o'clock, on his way to Witley Court, on a visit to Earl Foley.—Woreester Herald. TH e LORD CII AN C ET.1.0 D.—We regret to state, that on Sunday his Lordship's indisposition was greatly increased, ■nd yesterday morning he continued very poorly. Ithieing- Lb* amtiverwary of the Martyrdom of King Charles, the Courts of Chancery were of course closed, hut a person was sent up u late u half-past twelve o'clock to inquire after his Lordship's health, who reported him to be no better. Loril Granville gave a magnificent ball and supper at his: great Rotel in l'aris, on Friday evening. Fifteen hundred cards were issued in the first instance, and nearly Soo ad= ditional aPplications were made afterwards. This was the most superb entertainment that has been giyen in Paris for many years. The approaching Session will, amongst other matters, no doubt revive the contest between canals and railways; but the advantage of ►he latter mode of conveyance has been so clearly established, that no seriowt opposition can now be apprehended. The Manchester and Liverpool Itailw?y will most likely be speedily sanctioned by Parliament, as a powerful, obstacle has been removed in the accession of the Marquis of Stafford, who has evinced his approval of the meninx by taking one thousand shares.--Bution Express. Mr. Dawkins is appointed to attend, in a diplomatic capacity, at the approaching Congress of Panama, and is to sail fur Chagres in the course of the week. We suppose he will, like the United States' Ambassador, abstain from taking part in any discussions which may affect oar neu trality, but will communicate the opinions of our Govern-, mett upon any points which may affrct our intcresta.'

Dresses of t h e Columbian materials, striped and shaded, are much worn in home Seittleit, one of which seems particularly in favour ; the shades Me from violet-colour to a grey lavender ; one broad flounce of Italian net ornaments the border, finished by rouleaux of satin, of the same odour. An evening dress of richly striped black gauze, worn over pink or white stein, is another no. velty ; it is oreamented at the border with tee news of oblong, fluted miffs, disposed in chevrons ; each point finished by a Paige pink stein button.

We feel ourselves in a manner obliged to desnibe a low of dune charming head-dreeses. One for home costume Is of tulle and blond, orna mented tastefully with bows of richly coloured riband. Another, called the Hat-cornette toque, consists of a broad bias double orna ment •pink fluted satin in front. surmounting • blond border ; the caul of this cap is also of pink satin. A carnette of this kind. or gossamer white gauze. in double bias folds, is much admired for the theatre, or for half dress. Between the separate bias folds are wreaths of small Iberian roses. one flower of which, with Its bud, 1 on each temple on the hair. flendsome cement.. of blond ' ', fur home costume, have flowers on them, formed of coloured geese, without any foliage: others have bows of riband very tastefullydisposed. The email dress bonnet cap, which we noticed in our lest accounts., and then made of black velvet, has now appeared formed of lighter materials, namely, white tulle end Idonser it te ornamented With gay.looking field flowers, with the foliage of the shepheni's.purse, in various colours ; and, shogpther. constitutes a very charming head-dress for carriage morning visits of etiquette, or bridal congratulation. •The summit of the crown is finished by the star Ile Dauphine, of white satin, with four points; theee are trimmed round with narrow blond, and the stringy, which arc left untied, are of richly brocaded riband of a French white. Young ladies' often adorn their hair with a wreath of flowers mode of coloured gauze; they are made very hill on each temple. Black velvet bonnets continue the same, as to shape and mode of trimming, as last month : and as their reign will shortly be at an end, we do not imagine that any alteration will take place in their form : the bonnet most admired and adopted by females of fashion is one of a bottle green gros-desnaples, lined and ornamented with pink ; this bonnet is large, and fitted either fur the carriage et the promenade. • Prep; hats for the opera still continuo to be of black velvet, adorned with handsome plumes of white ostrich feathers ; but thew are oftener seen trimmed with gold cordon, than with &tit usual ornaments of pearls.
