FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France of Jan. 21.) BELGRADE, JAN. 6.—Letters from Widdin, dated the Ist, announce that the Paella of that town, who suffered himself to be beat a few months ago before Krajova by the troops of General Geismar, which were inferior in number to his own by two thirds, has been-summoned to the army in Bulgaria, and that his successor has already arrived at Widdin. BUCHAREST, JAN. 2.—lt is reported here that the famous Chief Tchassan Oglou, who came from Asia with 12,000 cavalry, has arrived at Nicopoli, and that he has advanced towards Tournoul, on the left bank of the Danube, with part of hi troops. Rein forcements have been sent to the Corps of Obser vation under General iklalmofsly to stop the pro gress of the Asiatics. The strength of General Geismar's corps has been raised to 15,000 men : he certainly cannot quit his post without danger, because it is said that 20,000 fresh troops have arrived at Widdin. Count Pahlen has not 'yet returned from Jassy, where he is engaged in organizing; the Divan. Considerable detachments of horses daily arrive ftom Bessarabia, to repair the losses of the Russian a rvalry. PARIS, JAN. 23.—Prince Polignac arrived yester day evening at Paris. A private letter from Corfu of the llth of Ja nuary states that the Ambassadors left Poros on the 20th of December for Malta. News from Constantinople of the 26th of Decem ber has been received. Nothing important bad passed; the city was tranquil; and no intelligence had been received from the theatre of war.

BERLIN, JAN. IB.—The Journal of St. Peters burgh contains the following news from the army in Turkey, dated Dec. 22 : " A report from General Roth gives the following particulars of the operations of the evadrons of the Black Sea fleet, which cruises on the west coast of Turkey, under the command of Rear-Admiral Ku many.. The Rear-Admiral learned from a Turkish vessel captured by our cruisers, which had on board materials for the fortifications which the enemy is erecting in the Bay of Burgas, that the island of Anastasius in that hay was defended by a battery and Turkish garrison; he immediately sailed thither, and on the 14th December, having surrounded the island with his ships, summoned it to surrender. Though the garrison refused to capitulate, the Ad miral would not cannonade it for fear of damaging the Greek convent, and contented himself with -firing at a body of Turkish infantry and cavalry that appeared on the continent, but was soon dispersed by our fire. The garrison seeing that it could receive no support from the continent, surrendered. The Governor, with two Officers and 91 privates, were taken prisoners ; and two iron cannon, with large quantities of powder, ammunition, and arms, fell into our hands. The greatest tranquillity continues to pre- Vail in the vicinity of our cantonments; and, accord-, ing to all accounts that have reached us, the enemy, in their winter quarters, are in great distress for pro visions, by which, and the severe cold, the mortality among their soldiers has greatly increased." ST. PETERSISLIRGH, JAN. 10.—On the 6th of this month, being Chriatanas-day, the Mass and re Deum were celebrated in the Cheri of the winter palace, in the presence of the Imperial Family, in memory of the d e liverance of Russia from the enemy, in the winter of 1812. The Senators, Ministers, Generals, &c., were pre sent ; and, at the same time, Te Deum was performed in the White Saloon and St. George's Hall in the Palace, where all the officers, subalterns , and p rivates of the Guards, and the Governor of St. Peteisburgh, were assembled, who shared in the campaign of 1812. Their .Majesties, on leaving the Church, passed between the ranks of those brave men, who were drawn up in the two saloons. General Count Diebitsch, chief of the Emperor's i Staff, has; re t u rned to this city,--Prusszan State Gazette, Jan. 19. BRUSSELS, JAN. 21.—1 n the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States- General the President an. nounced the receipt of two Messages from his Ma jesty ; in the second of which his Majesty announces, that without waiting for the adoption of the Penal Code, he has resolved to introduce and put in force on the 17th Jan. 1830, the Civil Code, the Code of Commerce, and those relative to the proceeding in the Criminal Court. Communications from the First Chamber an, nounesed its assent to several projects of law sent to it from the Second Chamber, including those on the changes in the Tariff of Customs, on the Budget, and the loan of fifteen millions for the Colonies. VIENNA, J& z, 12.—Prince Alexander Cauta- Caaeno, who in 1821 forced the Turks at Moriem baria to capitnlate, and who has resided for so me years at Dresden, has ' left that city, and arrived with his son at Patras, whence he has 'gene to wait on the President at Egina. He intends to make large purchases of lands in the Pcloponnesus, &c. AMERICAN PAPERS. (From the Mercantile Advertiser.) Nuw Yoax, DEc. 52.1.—A letter from a respec table Atoerican gentleman, dated at Rio Janeiro, Oct. 31, to a house in this city, says—" Mr. Tudor has just concluded a Commercial Treaty with this Government." A letter from Mexico states that the Senate had refused to ratify the Treaty wi‘: - 11 the United States negotiated by Mr. Poinsett ; but that this decision was to be re-considered, and it was hopai would ba reversed. The same letter states that General Rincon had at tacked the forces of St. Anna, and pursued them into the city of Oaxaca, which place was occupied by both parties.

WEST PORT MURDERS. 'f Ire tragedies of the West Port are still a subject of grave and zealous investigation. Applications . are daily made to high and low, to every person who can be supposed to possess the least direct or indi rect knowledge of these horrid deeds, and were the inquiry aided and stimulated by a full and authentic confession from Burke, there is a strung probability that mere of the murderers might soon be brought to the ignoniiniotts death they deserve. Some re spectable gentlemen have commenced a ssbscrip tion to promote the course of justice, which is rapidly on the increase, and should I-Tare escape the vengeamsr of the law, it will not be on ac count of a want of money, talent, or public exertion. There has been a striking difference in his disposition since his examination on the night of Friday se'n night, and subsequent close confinement. He seems now to consider the whole human race his sworn foes, and scowls upon the menials who carry his food to his cell. His case comes under the consi ' deration of the Lords of Justiciary on Monday first, arid according to the result of their deliberations he will soon either be recommitted for trial, or turned loose on society. Burke, taken all in all, is probably one of the most singular criminals ever consigned to the scaffold. — He is considerably superior in education to his own caste of his countrymen, and is just possessed of so much knowledge as should make the harrowing re collections of a series of murders drive him to the borders of despair. He is a man of remarkably firm nerve, and, though only a few days divide him and a painful death, he strives to be perfectly calm : he even laughs, and attempts to talk over the murder of his victims with as much garrulity and indiffer ence- as a shopkeeper would over his losses in trade, or the good bargains he has made. But yet he candidly confesses that lie feels the full horrors of his situation ; he is ever caught weeping bitterly by official people, and involuntary but very heavy sighs escape him in his conversation. He pays particular attention to the instructions of his priests, and is diligently preparing for the awful change he is soon to undergo. Since his convic tion he has been so very communicative, that there can be no doubt that several of his " confessions" will be given to the world; but it will long be a subject of serious regret, if a full confess on, duly authenticated, be not given to the world before his execution. Last night he was visited by the She riff, one of the Magistrates, and the Solicitor for the mother of James Wilson, and two assistants, and precognosced for upwards of an hour. He had been duly warned that he was to undergo a strict examination, and while he stated that he harboured no vindictive feeling against Hare, he declared that "as a dying man he would tell the truth." The result of the precognition is, of course, known only to the gentlemen present.—Scotsman. Owing to the extreme severity of the weather, no less than seven Hamburgh mails are at this time de tained in the port of Harwich, and are unable to proceed fur their destination. A more inconvenient suspension of the ordinary communications with that part of Europe could scarcely have arisen, as the trade iu corn, deemed so indispensable for the supply of this country, is now in full activity, and the parties concerned are eager, on the one hand, to get their cargoes home, and, on the other, to obtain payment for them in gold, silver, bills, or whatever medium may be adopted. In consequence of this state of things, application has been made to the Post-office, on behalf of the merchants interested, to afford all the facilities in its power, and the only practicable measure has instantly been resorted to—viz. that of sending orders to Ilarwich, to forward the Ham burgh mails detained at that port, through Holland. A post-office station has also been established at Heligoland, for the purpose of making, when requirei, any part of the open coast, so long as the entrance of the rivers remains frozen. All that can be effected is, however, the mutual transport of letters each way, for no cargoes of corn can arrive in the present !este of the weather, nor can the gold prepared as remittances to Hamhurgh, be sent en, as its conveyance overland from Rotterdam, would be at once too hazardous and too expensive. There is every appearance at present that the frost will be of ling continuance. Our supplies of corn must in the mean time cone chiefly from the soutla of Europe, where great activity is exert , cised, almost universally, in shipping off cargoes of grain. Of that part of Europe Spain will probably furnish the largest quantity. and we understand that mote than 100 English vessel. , are at present engaged in the conveyance of grain from that country alone. Large shipments are also on their way from Tuscany, Naples, and Sicily. Even Africa is to furnish a part of our supply, as arrangements are making to procure corn in Ecypt (the oldest corn market, by the way, mentioned in history), in Algiers, and in Morocco.— Times. We may state the following as an instance of 1 the Effects which the late disclosures in Edinburgh have produced upon the public mind :—During one of the dusky afternoons of last week, a gentleman was taking walk before dinner on the INluirhall road, inulll-,d up is a " fearnought;" and when opposite the Luna tic Asylum, met a poor woman apparently bent clown under a load of years and decrepitude. Struck with the intense and peculiar stare with which she eyed him, be was led to look at her with more than ordi nary interest. She passed on, however, and he pur sued his way ; hut retracing his course soon after, he rapidly gained ground on the woman, who, by repeat ed glances behind her, perceived this, and at length set out a a rate little under the accelerated progress of the mail, till she took refuge within a gateway leading to a mansion in that quarter. The gentleman went home, and at the same time his servant girl bad gone to take in tome clothes from the hedge opposite the inclosure at Pit- Pullen Bank. She there met the poor woman, who with great trepidation accosted her thus—" 0, my lassie, ye're surely no pita east that road?" The girl replied " No." " Dear me, I'm glad o' that, fin I was set upon by ane o' thae Edinburgh villains—..the country's fa' o' them—but I cheated the vagabond."—Perth Courier. - - LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY V 6, 1829• The chief subject of discussion in the French Papers is the arrival of the Prince de PoLt GNAC, and the probable change in the French Ministry. But the general opinion seems now to be that the Prince will not join the Administration, his journey being mainly connected with some di. plomatic affairs of an important and highly deli cate nature. The vacancy in the department of Foreign Affairs would be filled up in a council held yesterday, and it was believed that the Duke de MORTEMART would be the new Minister. In that case, no change in the Foreign policy of France is likely to take place, as the Duke has been apployed by the present Administration, and must be personally conversant with the secret views of Ministers. It has been hinted that the visit of the Prince de POLIGNAC is partly occasioned by the Duke of WELLINGTON'S desire that the Speech of the King of FRANCE should assimi late with that of the King of ENGLAND in the main points of its Foreign Policy. This is but natural, for his Grace may find it rather difficult to stay the march of invasion in the East of Europe, unless supported by the French Go vernment. MRS. BUIRKE.—It was formerly mentioned that this wretched woman would be driven from place to place, and that she could only hope for a permanent resi dence where she was utterly unknown. Even her own kindred have intimated their resolution to drive her hence should she approach them. It appears that after tear- I ing Edinburgh, she went to the neighbourhood of Carnwath. As she had been in that quarter two har vests with Burke, she was instantly recognized, and roughly treated at Newbigging and several other places. At Cotalwath, it was unanimously resolved to treat her atzording to her demerits—the principal rendezvous of " randy gargaai bodies" was searched, the whole thirty .six beds were overhauled, but she was no where to be found. " The search warranted the suspicion," continues our correspondent, that some of the Kedgers who frequented the hcreQ, had no lawful trade by which their earnings could equal their expenditure—marked atten. tion was drawn to Pig Jock, as it was evident all the rags he took to Edini,urgh, and all the crockeryware he took in return, even though stolen, was not sufficient to pay le is bill weekly—and it being 4,-;rinised that the keeper of the house was not ignorant of the ways of his guests, he and Jock have been banished forth of the town..,-Scotsman. TURKEY. —At a recent sitting of the French Geograpideal Society, one of the Members read a report on a work by the late General Antlreossy, entitled " Con stantinople and the Bosphorus, in the years 1812, 1813, ISM and 1816." In the introduction the author sketches the vicissitudes undergone by the ancient Byzin. tium. To the historical description of Constantinople succeeds a brief view of the political and private =duet of the reigning Sultan (Mahmoud II.), to whom the au thor pays a tribute of praise for the ability and firm ness which he hao displayed since his :accession to the throne, accnsing hint of only one error, t he treaty of Bnnharest, signed on the iNth of May, 1812, the effect of which was to place Turkey in a false po. sition with reference to its finnaidabie adversary Russia. The body a the work is divided into three books. The first treats; of the situation of the Ottoman Bmpire; the second is devoted to the canal of Constantinople, and its neighbourhood. The third part of the work consists of an account of the man ner in which Constantinople is supplied with water, both by aqueducts a s id by subterraneous conduits; and G,,neral Andr6osfy cob.sUe:l the system supe rior to any which has been adopted in the other psrta o f E uro p e . Several_of the notes at the end of the re spective books are exceedingly interesting; among others, a notice of the first anatomical and medical work printed at Const i ntinople, by order of M a bmontl, in 1812 ; and a biography of the Arnbassadora from Prance resident ip the ,capital of the Ottoman Empire from 1535 to 1826. There is :.Iwo an elaborate map of Constantinople and of the Boa- Plugusev-4itorary Cazette, Jan, 24. The other news in the French Papers pos sesses no particular interest. The same note of preparation for the ensuing campaign is kept up by both the Belligerents. It is said in one of these Papers that the Greeks, in a memorial presented to the Allied Powers, have demanded a more enlarged extent of territory than was at first contemplated, but which they are not very likely to get in the pre sent feeling of the PORTE. It is that formed by the northern mountains of Thessaly, the river throughout a great part of the metropolis.

" The frost will last a month, according their oval convenience. to all appearance—and the Almanacks say, much longer "—was the prevailing observation among certain venders of coals and other indispensable commodities—" and every thing is risen, and will rise much higher," was the additional note of consolation with the worthies who affected to feel for the poor, while they chuckled at the freezing prospect of gain—but now behold the unwelcome change, when— " Faney'a fairy frost-work melts away." German Papers of the 19th inst. have been received this morning, which fully confirm the distress suffered by the Turks in consequence of the severity of the weather, and the extreme dif ficulty experienced in the transport of provisions or warlike stores to the several divisions of the army. Such has been the inclemency of the season, that the Turks have erected wooden buildings at Adrianople and Constantinople for exercising the troops. The blockade of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus began to be felt at Constan tinople, which was supplied with provisions for three months, but the army in the environs was wry scantily off:— AI4CONA, DEC. 28. Letters from Corfu say that the Pilch& of Egypt was lading corn for Consfantinoplc. French merchantmen are reported to have purchased in Alexandria corn for the Morea. FRONTIERS OF EERVIA, 3•N. 3. The following is an extract of a letter from Sophia, dated Dec. 15, to the Agent of the Pasha of Belgrade, &c. : " Your last letter of Dec. 1, has been fourteen days in coming to my hands; the letters from Constantinople are equally long on the way, end I can imagine that you mud be in great embarrassment respecting the conveyance of ammunition and provisions. The snow has covered all the roads to a great depth, and where a pereen cue hardly go on foot it is impossible to convey military stores. Be easy, there fore, and do not fear any responsibility ; the Padisehab sees with his owo eyes that not you but the elements are the cause that his commands are not obeyed, and his sense of justice requires only what is possible. Full conviction prevails at Constantinople of the impossibility of sending convoys by land in this season. Though the supply of the capital with provisions it secured for three months, that of the troops in the environs is not included ; they are scan tily supplied from the magazines. The enemy has cut off all supplies by sea, and tries •every means to rause distress in the capital, and consequently disturbances. —Unhappily, there are turbulent persons enough here, and God avert any disasters in the field, which is all they are waiting for. You have done well to induce the Pacha to give information to the Tschausch Bachi, that no reproach may attach to you : I will do all I can here for your advantage, only let me know exactly every thing you do. if there is any news which it may be of import ant to knew, spare no expence, but send them to me im mediately ; I shall do the same on my side ; what you tell me of the armaments was already known ; here too armaments are going on, and the next campaign will be more bloody than the first. A wooden building has been erected here, in which the soldiers are trained; similar build ings have been erected at Adrianople and Constantinople, the latter of which is said to, be able to contain 4,000 infan try. Were it not for the want of money no uneasiness would be perceptible, for there are hands enough to fight, hut none to pay." eNsa, JAN. 14.—MetalliqueP, 96i ; Bank Shares, 1,096. YIXKNA, JAN. 13. The Directors of the Bank have published their half yearly report, by which it appears that the dividend fur the last half year of 1828 Wail paid in the meeting yester dsy at SS florins per shace. Besides this the sum o 125,871 florins tvns added in 1828 to the reserve fund of the establishment. FROM THE LOWER InMLA, J Ali. 9. The corn magazines at Dantzic, which in former years have generally contained at the least 28 or 30,000 lasts, chiefly of Polish wheat, which is the staple article there, are now almost emptied. According to accounts that may be depended upon; the whole stock in that place dues not probably exceed 5,000 la;ts at the most. However, the supplies which are expected there during the winter from the provinces, whence they usually come, are estimated at 25,000 lasts. But should the exportation of the pro duce of the interior of Poland and Hus.ia from Odessa, and through the straits of Constantinople, be long sus pended, as is not improbable, a part of the torn predueed in these provinces will have to be exported by way of Datiie, so that the amount of the expected supplies may be increased to 50,000 lasts. These supplies, however, can hardly reach the British market before July, and they must have the less influence on the prices, as the expenees of carriage will be very considerable. It is said that M. FIUUELMONT was to hare left Vienna on the 14th inst. for St. Petersburgh, charged with an important mission from the Austrian Cabinet. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

Report says that in a few days we shall have im portant intelligence from France; that Prince Yoh nac's mission to Paris is to obtain of the French Cabinet their sanction to a new treaty between England, France, and Austria, as the Russian blockade of the Dardanelles is much to their detri ment, and that they are determined to have a free trade with the Porte. - _ •, To-morrow is the expected day when the King of France's Speech will be delivered. The speech is anxiously looked for in this country, as it is ex pected it will be the echo of his Majesty's speech — no doubt being entertained that the Prince Po lignac has carried with him the substance of '- to Paris. Among the reports current in Paris respecting the Prince de POLIONAC, one was that he was recalled in order to be sent to Constantinople in quality of Minister extraordinary, representing the three Allies, with full powers to treat on the basis of the Treaty of the 6th of July. The thing is unlikely, as Mr. STRAT-. FORD CANNING and the Count de GUIL LEMINOT could manage the business equally well. There appears to us to he much more difficulty in the way of negotiation than is ge nerally supposed. The Allies are willing to ne gociate, but the PORTE is not. Where then is the utility of talking where action alone is want ing, and can afford the only hopes of compelling a peace ? The Turks will negociate till Dooms day, but not advance one step nearer the thres hold of a satisfactory reconciliation.

WOODFORD. His LORDSHlPobs;rved, that this case stood for judgment to-clay, but in consequence of what he was about to state he should defer going into it. He had received a letter from one of the trustees, Sir Charles Flint, stating certain facts connected with the cause which he, Sir Charles Flint,might sup' pose would affect the judgment the Court was about to pronounce, but which, by no possibility, could. Sir Chas. Flint also made complaints of the manner in which he had been treated by Couiv sel. As fur as related to the observations made in Court upon Sir C. Flint, his Lordship considered there was no ground for them, for the order which was complained of was made in 1811, at the instiga tion of Mr. Charles Thelluson, and he (Sir Charles Flint) was not appointed a trustee till the year 1812. He had every reasne to think, from all the proceedings that had taken place, that they were sanctioned by full consideration on the part of the Court. There was no imputation resting on Sir Charles Flint for his conduct during any part of the transaction. But his Lordship must say, that it was most irregular and improper for hire to address the Court, particularlystatinga fact which might affect its judgment. His Lordship considered it his duty to hand such a letter over to the Counsel on the opposite side, and he should now order it im mediately to be handed over to Mr. Sngden or Mr. Pepys. The Court would also take the present opportunity of stating, that in a cause of Purrier and Rankin, which was now depending for judgment, it had received a letter from a lady of the name of Hollings, with a view of influencing its deci sion; that letter should also be handed over to the opposite Counsel. His Lordship had also received a letter in another case, the name et which he did not recollect, of a similar nature, a nd no doubt intended for the same purpose. The Court thought when it was publicly known that all letters written to it in a defending cause, would share the. fate that had been pointed out, it might have the effect of putting an end to a practice of so highly improper arid unwarrantable a nature. With respect to the case of Thelluson and . Woodford, his Lordship would not say any thing as to the construction Of the will till either Mr. Sugden or Mr. Pepys had had an opportunity of reading the letter, and mak ing any observations they thought proper upon it. HARRIS V. KE3IBLE. The Court then proceeded with this part heard appeal. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. (SITTINGS IN BANCO.) GAME LAWS.—IN RE SILYESTER. In this case, Mr. CAMPBELL had to show cause against a rule for it writ of certiorari to quash a con' viction under the Game Laws, in which the de. fendant was convicted in a penalty for killing game as an unqualified person. It appeared that Silvester was servant to a Mr. Lee who was qualified , and that the master, being without a guy bad authorized Silvester, who was carrying it , to shoot a partridge. Mr. Campbell contended that the fact of the master being present and sanc tioning the shooting by his servant, was not a sub' dent authority to authorise the servant's killing, game. lie therefore pressed for the discharge nt the rule. Mr. TALFOuRD in support of the rule cited cases in support of his proposition, that a servant was au' thorised to kill game under the direction and in the presence of the master. In one case a servant had set on hounds, and in another a servant had set a trap, both being done in the presence of master, and the Court had held that such direction was a sufficient authority on the part of the servant to kill game. He trusted that no distinction could be made on principle between setting a trap and pulling a trigger. The COURT refused to grant the rule, Mr. Justice Bailey observing, that if such were to be considered a sufficient authority, that a man might go out with twenty servants, each having a gun, and kill a° many partridges as he phased.--Rule discharged. THE KING v. TREADAWAY. This was an indictment for perjury, tried at the sittings before Michaelmas Term before Lord Ten' terden, iu which the defendant was convicted. The fact sworn to by the defendant, and allege ( ' to be false, was, that he being au attorney, had re' eeived instructions to defend a Mr. M'Claren, frog' a Mr. Banbury, and not from Mr. M'Claren himself; as contended for the prosecution on the trial. Sir J. SC4RLETT now moved for a stew trialt on several affidavits, which would clearly pt ove that every one of the witnesses for the prosecution IWO mistaken as to the day on which the instruction ° were received by the defendant ; they had all sworn that the instructions were given on a Sunday in October, when the affidavits of the Sheriff's office; who arrested M'Claren, proved that he was arrested on the 11th Sept.--Rule Nisi granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. BUSHNELL V. LEVI. This was an action to recover damages for injuri done to a gig, and the plaintiff obtained at the trial 0 verdict, with damages 41. 18s. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS now applied to the Co urt , to prevent the plaintiff from recovering his costs 0' action, under the following circumstances. The de' fendunt is a sheriff's officer, anct.resides in Newmuir street, Oxford-street, but his place of business le ill Fetter-lane, and within the boundaries of the city According to the laws which govern the recover , of debts in the city, if a plaintiff does not recover t i sum in damages above forty shillings, he pays t. costs of both parties; and if he does recover ova 4.05., but under 51., he in that case pays his owl' costs. In the present case the Learned Sergea nt contended that the plaintiff ought to have sued the, defendant in the Court of Requests, and as he h a s thought proper to resort to the upper Court, 511 ' had only recovered 41. 18s., he must take the C ow sequences and pay his own costs. The place of 0 ' siness of the plaintiff was within the city, and therefore should have sued him in the City Court Requests. Some cases were cited to show that where aPO sons resided out of the city, though their place of lA siness by which they earned their livelihood w' ls within its boundaries, they were within its jurisdle' tion, and ought to be sued there. The COURT granted a rule to show cause. Mr. H. Grattan, M.P. has had a pleurisy, " 1 erysipelas, and a nervous affection, and has lost n inet; ounces of blood. He is, therefore, as may be suppoied , an extremely delicate state—still unable to leave his room and it is doubtful whether it will be in his power, by I ,'; effort, to occupy his place in Parliament on the sth (OP —Freeman's Journal.
