GENERAL ORDERS ISSUED TO HIS MAJESTY'S FORCES IN INDIA. Wad-quarters, Poorie, sth June, 1829. The Right Honourable the Commander-in-Chief in India, is plea,ed to direct the publication of the following extract of a letter from General Lord Hill, Commander in-Chief of his Majesty's Forces:— " I have had the honour to submit to the King, and his Majesty has been graciously pleased to approve, and direct, that without retrospect, every Lieutenant-Colonel of the East India Company's Army. who may now he Commandant of a Regiment of Cavalry, or :Infantry, or Battalion of Artillery, or Engineers, be allowed to take the rank of Colonel, by Brevet, in the territorial posses sion of the East India Company, in India only, and that every Lieutenant-Colonel of that Army, who should :in future be appointed Commandant of a Regiment, or Bat talion, be allowed to take rank of Colonel, by Brevet, in those territories only.

" That if, however, one of his Majesty's Lieutenant- Colonels, so promoted at one Presidency, be removed to another Presidency, such promotion being no longer valid, another Brevet Commission be granted to him, if nece— sary, to put him on a par with the Officers of the Presi dency, to which his services have been transferred."

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (Flom the Messager des Chambres.) His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Meck lenburg Schwerin has convoked a General Assembly •of the States, at Stern:berg, for the 10th of Novem ber next. The subjects which are to be brought under deliberation are— I. The ordinary tax of the country. 2. The wants of the general commission of receipts. 3. rt.P definitive fixation of the country, and the rights of nattiTalization ; paving attention, at the same time, to th means of diminishing poverty. 4. The introduction an amelioration of mortgage registers. 5. The revision of she regulations relative to recruits. The Semaphore of ,Marseilles contains the fol- lowing : " Commercial expeditions for the Levant, pre pared in England. " The Minister of State, President of the Bureau of Commerce and the Colonies, announced to the Chamber of Commerce, under the date of the 7th of this month, that he is informed the armistice con cluded between the Russian and Turkish armies had given a singular activity in England to the opera tions of the commerce destined for the Levant, the speculators supposing that the interruption of the c -z:stomary communications with Europe exhausted a ll t h, Turkish warehouses at the commencement of the war. Thus, says Count Bengnot, they eagerly seek for all artlt:!es which form part of the comm. - are of the Levant, and 4 ,:epare different cargoes, which will soon be shipped ant: sent off " The President of the 17,7eau of Commerce does not doubt but that the same rt.:isiderations must have struck the merchants of Marse;:!es, formerly renowned for its success in the commerce of the East. At all events, he has thought it necessary to inform the Chamber of the immense activity ma nifested in this respect in England, in order that the merchants of our city, which is nearer to Turkey, may adopt means to be before-hand wid the Eng lish merchants in provisioning that country.' The works of the new e.a.i.t.q of the Chamber of Deputies are proceeding with aaivity. The plan for the tribune is to be changed, and in,f4eAll of being before the bureau it be at the other .?:11. pf the room, opposite; so that M.Courvoisier, if it se-, ha,p, pen that he should aaeend it, will have the pleasure of finding himself opposite to his old friend on the centre left, M.

The French Papers of Wednesday have been received this morning by express, but their con tents are not important. The Augsburg Gazette says that it received the Treaty of Peace between R ussia and Turkey, but makes no mention whatever of the additional Treaties. We pre sume these will only be published when their objects have been accomplished. Moderation is the word with Russia, but aggression the act : (From the Messager des Chambres of Wednesday.) SECOND EDITION. PARIS, OCT. 21. The Avgsbury Gazette of the 16th says, " We have received by express the Treaty of Peace between Russia and Turkey in the original language, which is inserted in an Extraordinary Supplement ro-day.—(This Supplement has not been received at Paris. )—Accounts from Egina in the Austrian Observer say, that the President of Greece arrived on the sth of Sept. on board the Hellas frigate at Egina, coming from Pores, and was received with the usual honours. A monk who arrived at Egina on the 6th of Sept. from the Monastery of Jerusalem, near Daubs, at the foot of Parnassus, which he left on the 28th of August, brought word that 4,000 Albanians had penetrated through the defiles of Mount Oeta into the Plains of Turko-Chori, Livadia, and Tanandi. They had with them 3,000 beasts of burden laden with biscuits and pro visions. Karat isso had left his position at Budouitza some days before. The Turks halted hero for two days, in order to assure themselves there was no ambuscade in the difficult mountain passes of Fontana and Vassilico. The inhabitants of those parts have fled into the moun tains, abandoning their crops to the enemy. Demetrius Ypsilanti, with about 3,000 men, occupies Petra, the village of Steveniko, and some other strong positions of Mount Helicon, and also the roads on the southern de clivity of Parnassus, which lead to Delki and Salona. It was thought that Karatasso was posted at Ambliani. We have received by the Alcide, which has arrived at Havre, news from Bourbon of the 25th of July. The Nievre and Chevaette corvettes had touched at St. Denis only to take in water, and then proceeded with the troops they had on board to join the Terpsichore and Indefatiyble frigates and the Madegasear corvette, which had before sailed fur Madagascar. The object of this division, it is said, was to expel the Malgaches who had just taken pos session of our establishments in that island. The troops were to land at Fort Dauphin and St. Mary. The Queen Mother, who now governs Madagascar, has conceived such a hatred of every thing French, that she resolved no longer to tolerate our flag on her territory. Her troops, which are now disciplined in the European fashion, might perhaps oppose with advantage the intended invasion, but they seem to propose to leave it to the pernicious influence of the climate to rid them of the French regiments. Every day our settlements in India decline. We cannot maintain our ground there except humbled, or fugitives. 'Would it be believed, for instance, that in Chandernagor there is not a single piece of cannon mounted on its carriage ?

St. Peterfiburgh Papers have been received to the Bth October, but they do not yet give the Treaty of Peace : they contain a numerous list o promotions. The Journal qf the Two Sicilies, of the 29th September, contains a decree highly honourable to the character of his Neapolitan MAJEsTy, who hats in,:tituted an order of Knighthood to stimulate the zeal au4 ingenuity of his subjects in the various civil functions, 41,11 d to encourage the cultivation of the Sciences, the Fiat; Arts, Manufactures, Agt,:ct:lture, and Commerce, on the prosperity of which his MAJESTY truly says, the kingdom depends : NAPLES, SEPT. 19. His Majesty has been pleased to issue a Decree to the following effect : , It being one of our principal cares to excite by all means in our power the zeal of our subjects in the exercise. tile arious civil functions confided to them by us, and as we eigsl42 sityays to encourage the cultivation of the sciences, the fine azis, and the several branches of manufactures, agriculture, and c.c.--1,47.,5eciy., on the prosperity of which that of the kingdom depends A k 4sidering that marks of dis-, and honour are the moat ye i rf,cl stimulus to virti..ovs and laudable actions, By the savice of our Council of State, we have rum:Alyea to sanction the piezept law. \%e institute in our ic.izg!,lom of the Two Sicilies an Order of Knighthood, exclusively as a recompense for civil merit, which shall be called " The Royal Order of Francis I." To give this new Order greater lustre the reigning Soya reign is to be at sll times the head and Grand Master; it will consist of five classes, viz., Grand Crosses, Com manders, Knights, Gold medals,'Silver medals. The remainder of the articles (i❑ all 32) contain the Statutes and Regulations. A lung list of nominations ni the Naval Classes is annexed. Dutch and German Papers have been re ceived, but they do not contain any news of par ticular interest. fhe following are extracts : THE HAGUE, OCT. 17. Last week a great number of cannon and mortars with their carriages were brought to Ghent, which are intended for the armament of the fortress of Oudenarde. Must of them were cast at Liege in 1828. The well-known French writer, M. Fontan, has arrived in the territory of Hanover. Ocr. 20.—1 n the sitting of the Second Chamber to day, Committees were appointed to examine the qualifica tions of the new 'Members, which being found satisfactory, they were all admitted to take their seats, with the excep tion of M. Brugmans, whose admissibility the Committee judged to be doubtful, because he is a member of the per manent Committee of the Syndicate of the Sinking Fund. The Chamber afterwards proceeded to choose those Mem bers from whom the King is to select the President t.f the Chamber for the present Session. The choice fell on Mr. Corver Hooft, Mr. G. G. Cliffort, and Mr. Reyphins. AMSTERDAM, OCT. 20.--Exchange on London, 12f. to 12f. 20c. ; two months, 12f. to 12f. 15c. ODESSA, SEPT. 30. The Journal of Odessa, of the clove date, announces that, in consequence of contrary winds, no ships had ar rived for some days, either from Constantinople or the con. quered Turkish ports. However, the Governor-General of New Russia and Bessarabia had, by the Emperor's or ders, allowed the exportation of all articles from the ports of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff, which had been prohibited during the war. Among the troops of the sa nitary cordon there had occurred two deaths and suspi cious cases, against the possible consequence of which the most prompt and decisive measures had been taken. Our Paris Correspondent is more partial to the views of Russia than we can subscribe to. He sees no danger in the extension of territory by a power already possessing more than it can wield with effect. This might be just abstract edly considered, but it does not hold good with respect to Russia ia her peculiar situation. Were Russia to extend her frontiers ten thousand miles into such wilds as Siberia, the acquisition of ter ritory would only serve to weaken her strength, because the regions of snow would yield no return ; but the case is far different by terri torial aggrandizement in the South. There she not only consolidates her power, but causes that power to be felt by rival nations in a manner unknown before. The southern pro vinces of Russia have hitherto been to her a source of loss rather than profit, for want of that very power which she has now acquired. This is the secret of her strength. Extension of boundary, in any other direction, would add nothing to her strength, because it would de tract from her moral power; but on the side of Turkey the reverse is the fact. The free passage of the Dardanelles unlocks that dungeon in which the mighty energies of Russian enterprise have hitherto slept. A new world is opened to her ambition, and Russia thereby becomes at once a naval power in the North and the South of Europe. It is therefore obvious that extension of boundary towards the South was the only thing wanting to give vitality to the dormant mass of terri tory in her Southern provinces, and the opening of the Dardanelles is the key-stone of that ambitious arch, which Russia has been constructing for the last century, and without which her labours would have been ren dered useless. The mighty work is now achieved, and Europe will soon see the consequences. Our Correspondent very justly says, " that nothing is more obvious than that mere extension of ter ritory is not necessarily accompanied by the capa bility of aggression ;" but here the matter is dif ferent. Without access into the Mediterranean Russia could not affect our commerce, but now she can not only affect our commerce, but compel us to keep a stronger fleet in the Mediterranean, if we wish to maintain our naval superiority there. Shut out from the :Mediterranean the power of • Russia was a mere shadow—it is now a substance fraught with ac tive apprehension, and the disposition to be ag gressive because it may. The following are the letters of our Correspondent : PARIS, OCT. 20. It has often been observed, that the public press of a country affords a fair indication not merely of the manners and habits of the people, but of the general tendency of the national character, and if this be true of any country, I consider it to be emi nently so of France. Ad astra tollere vultus is the habitual aspiration of every true Frenchman with reference to natiosial:prosperity, in whatever language he may arrange his thoughts. Through all the fitful changes of the last half century the same sentiment has predominated;—varying, indeed, in form, but identical in substance. Whether the national great ness was to be represented by the sceptre of the Grand Monarque, by the revolutionary terrors of the Great Nation, or by the conquests of the impe rial arms, the universal feeling has always been pointed to national distinction, if not to territorial aggrandizement. The liberal press of France, which is raid by some to controul, but which I would rather say represents, the general feeling of the people, is at this moment Ns artnly engaged in foster ing the spirit of aggrandizement ; and I am per suaded that the greatest and most serious objection to the present ministry, in the eyes of the press and the people, is the comparative moderation and rea sonableness of their views on g subject on which the the nation at large is so extremely sensitive, The Premier, personally, they could pardon for his royalist prepossessions, in consideration of the tie; ,-,•,f consanguinity which are believed to subsist between thy. reigningreigning Monarch and his favourite minister. As regards the other members of the cabinet, they too might expiate their sins against ,the charter, from a belief in their inability to overturn .the pri,vileges which have been guaranteed by the law of elections and the liberty of the press, pro vided only they would manifest a sufficient degree of ‘,4et4 in gratifying that morbid sentiment with which the people go co deeply imbued, and which they distinguish by th.e 44, - Pe Pf " glory." The objections to the recp - ,t trey between RUS, sift and Turkey at this side of the Channel, seem 411 to resolve into this narrow and, I roust also say, this unprincipled view of the subject. It is admitted ,cat France is not to suffer any substantial disadvan tage '4' tiw- :i,eir.:3l of the treaty, as they have now transpired, but siich is Op ;a7 eteratejealousy of the power and a scendancy of titgland ia th-_; general affairs of Europe, that they would 'be Content to sulic;r a considerable disadvantage, provided only that their eternal rivals, as they are ' pleased to call us, were subjected to a greater; because they say that they could not be better compensated than by the degradation of .Great Britain. This I humbly conceive to be a very narrow view of the subject, and to be founded in bad policy and bad logic. But what is utterly disgraceful in principle, and seems to set a sad stain on the national morals, is the use which the liberal party would have the ministry to make of the present posture of affairs in the East of Europe. They say, that under present circum stances the Government of Russia would find it for their interest to wink at an extension of the French territory, in consideration of a corresponding cour tesy on the part of France towards Russia. They contend that Russia has nothing to lose by France becoming great and powerful; and that by this pur chase of mutual neutrality, neither party would be put to any expence, but that England in effect would have every thing to pay. The liberals now exclaim that they must have a national ministry ; but while I fear that the nation itself is not impressed with a due sense of its own interest, I continue to be per- suaded, as I have all along expressed to you, that the force of public opinion is so strong against the present cabinet as to make its fall very nearly inevitable. I come to this conclusion, because the constitutional party, besides being far more numerous than the royalists and their adherents, are also much better o►ganized, and, in every sense of the word, more able tacticians. It was, I conceive, the very worst of policy to take such violent measures against the association in Brittany for organizing a systematic opposition to the levy of taxes unauthorized by law. This, indeed, is now tacitly acknowledged by the abandonment of the proceedings too hastily adopted against the Journals which gave publicity to the re solutions of the association ; and the ►mpolicy of these proceedings has now become apparent from the new associat ions, and the new systems of agita tion to which they have obviously given rise. It was, in fact, a species of persecution ; and it is well known that to persecute even an erroneous opinion is the surest mode of giving it firmness and stability. The abandonment of the judicial proceedings has af forded, besides, a demonstration of the weakness of the party by whom they were instituted, and has ex posed them to what they can least of all afford, the mockery and contempt of their antagonists. I believe it is now ascertained that these associa- tions are not amenable to any existing law, and ►t is pretty' certain that as the Chambers are at present constituted, no new law will be enacted for their suppression. It would be said, with some show of reason, that as associations already exist in France for mutual insurance against the dangers to be ap prehended from fire, inundation, piracy, and death itself, why should they not also be permitted against ministerial extortion ? An incidental cause of fresh jealousy against Eng land has just arisen in the activity which is understood to exist in the ports of Great Britain, for the purpose of taking advantage of the exhausted state of the stocks of goods in the Turkish warehouses in the Levant, in consequence of the interruption which has existed during the %var to their habits of com mercial intercourse with Europe. From the compa rative proximity of ➢'larseilles, and the advantages afforded by a speedy communication between the French shores of the Mediterranean and the Levant, it is thought that the merchants and artizans of France should at least, in this department of com merce, take a decided precedence over those of Eng land ; but a lurking consciousness that the superior enterprise and activity of their insular rivals will counterbalance the disadvantage of local situation, excites, as I have said, only fresh symptoms of that restless jealousy which forms so striking a feature in the French character. " Although I have not been able to concur in the view which has been taken of the late treaty by The Sun, I cannot help congratulating myself on be longing to a country where a subject of such vast importance has been treated by the great political journals, in a manner so very different from what I have had occasion to allude to as the voice of the Liberals of France. The discussion has in general been conducted in a manner equally creditable to the public morals and the public intelligence of the country. But why, after all, should we insist that Russia has been too rigorous in her demands on her prostrate foe ? Is not all the world to share with her in the free passage of the Dardanelles ? and what evidence is there of an atttempt to grasp at an extension of territory ? Is it not more reasonable to suppose that Russia takes a just and rational view of her own interests ? that she finds that her terri- tory is already sufficiently extensive for every true national purpose ? and that her substantial interests, her power, and her strength would be better pro moted by facilitating the means of internal inter course, and by giving a free scope to the activity and exertions of her people ? And are not these objects kept strictly in view throughout every clause of the treaty of Adrianople ? By opening the Black Sea to the unrestricted commerce of Russia, the Don, \Volga, and the Dnieper will be called into a new existence, and without the vexatious interrup tions which have hitherto been presented by the re gulations imposed by Turkey, they will afford the means of transit for the trade of the most remote provinces of the empire. That alone I conceive to be a sufficient compensation to Russia for the whole of her exertions in the war which has just been con cluded ; and as I have not been able to see in this treaty any symptoms inconsistent with the modera tion so uniformly professed by the Emperor Nicho las, and with what appears to me to be a just view of his own interests, I must still, with great defer ence, dissent from the views which you, in common with some of the ablest of your contemporaries, have adopted on this subject. PARIS, OCT. 21. You have no doubt observed that the Quoti dienne has hitherto manifested a more than unusual degree of caution in expressing its opinion on the subject of the late Treaty. At length, however, it has spoken out ; and, assuming it to be in some de gree the organ of the French Ministry, I take it for granted that the approbation of the Quotidienne must be regarded as the echo of a similar sentiment on the part of the French Government; and if, as every thing seems to warrant us in believing, there be still a perfect understanding between the French and English Governments on the subject of Eu ropean politics, it may, I apprehend, be also in ferred that the present Treaty is not likely to be at tended with any further disturbance of the peace of the world. And, with all the attention which I have yet been able to bestow on the discussions on this subject, which have an opposite tendency, I am still at a loss to see any cause for serious apprehen sion on the subject. If the balance of power, of which we have heard so much in this discussion, means any thing at all, it is not the extent of terri tory of any particular State, but its capability of committing any acts of aggression on its neighbours, which ought to be deprecated. But there is nothing more obvious than that a mere extension of territory is not necessarily accompanied by this capability of aggression. On the contrary, an accession of terri tory, beyond what is necessary for self-defence, is more frequently a source of weakness than of strength ; and I am persuaded that, at this moment, the Statesmen of Russia are thoroughly convinced that their predecessors have carried this passion for territorial aggrandizement much beyond the limits which were necessary for the real strength of the Empire ; and that even the fertile fields of Poland have not added in any degree either . to their powers o aggression, or to their means of defence; requir ing, to their Polish subjects will long require, the presence of a powerful army to enforce their tran quillity and reconcile them . to the dominion cf the C'sars, I anf not sufficiently read in the modern doe, trines of international law, to be able to tell how far one or more States are entitled to dictate to another in the prohibition cf further accessions to its terri tory or its power—for these terms appear to me to have hitherto been erroneoudy regarded as synoni inOits or conyertiole 7 ---but I apprehend that Russia has at length the 'wildotp to see that her territory is sufficiently extensive, and even more than sufficient, for every desirable purpose; and so long as she con tinues to strengthen herself, by facilitating the means of internal communication, arid encouraging her people in the arts of peace, I hold it to be clear that she will in effect become stronger at home, and more an object of apprehension to her neighbours, than if all the dominions of the Porte were added to her empire. This, however, is a source of dan ger for which I presume there is no provision in the international code to which I have alluded, so that we must content ourselves to follow the example which is set us, and to make ourselves strong also by similar means, which would surely be more con sistent with good policy as well as with good morals, than the unprincipled suggestions of the French Liberals, to which I alluded in my letter of yesterday. The Portuguese emigrants in France, about three or four hundred in number, have, it appears, received orders from the Ministry to quit the king dom forthwith. Many of them had settled in Brit tany, and had, with their families, engaged in com mercial pursuits. Such of them as resided at Laval and Mayence have already been marched in small detachments to St. Maio; from whence it is said that their ulterior destination is England, Belgium, or the Brazils, according as their means or their ne cessities may direct. No defence of so harsh a measure has yet been attempted by the Ministerial Press; but us every thing in this country is liable to extreme exaggeration, I cannot even in the ab sence of contradiction give any credit to the state ment in the Journal des Debats, that some of these wretched refugees were induced to embark on board vessels which were immediately sent to the mouth of the Tagus, or to some other point, where they were destined to fall into the remorseless hands of the Usurper. The King of Naples travels, it seems, through the French territory with all the insignia of Royalty; and in passing through the principal towns the same honours are paid to him as would have been paid in a Royal progress by Charles the Tenth himself, with the exception only of the omission to present the keys of the different towns to the Royal Visitor. A new Association has been formed in Lorraine for mutual protection against the levy of taxes tin. authorized by law, on the same principle with those of Paris and Brittany. Lisbon Gazettes, from the sth to the 10th of Octo►,er inclusive, have been received, but contain no news whatever. Indeed, we could not expect that Don MIGUEL would be the first to announce the present dilemma into which his measures have plunged the country. We were on the point of drawing attention to the " corrupt practices" still carried on in the coal trade, but for want of room we must desist. We regret this the less, however, as our readers will find some observations on the subject by our cotemporary, the Chronicle, under the usual head. It appears by the proceedings of the Court of Common Council yesterday, that the long dis cussed question of the office of Secondary has been at length set at rest. The report of the Com mittee recommended the appointment of a Secon dary during the pleasure of the Court, and after wards that that officer should be annually elected, which was agreed to by the Court, and orders given to prepare a bill for that purpose, as well as regulating the duties of the office. This is very proper, for it is disgraceful that places of such trust and importance should be sold, like beasts in Smithfield, to the highest bidder.— Hitherto the duties of Secondary were very nu merous—and the importance of the office may be inferred from the following list :—With the Secondary it rests to accept or reject bail at his own discretion, without assigning any reason for so doing ; to preside as Judge at all writs of inquiry ; to assess damages directed to the She. riffs of London ; to summon all juries in the city ; to attend the trial of all prisoners at the Old Bailey, and the Common Council when ever assembled, &c. This office was filled up yesterday by the elec tion of Mr. JOHN JAMES. The vacant office of Coroner was also filled up by the election of Mr. 'WILLIAM PAYNE. LAW NOTICES.

The Colombia packet ship, from New York, has sr' rived at Portsmouth in 21 days, left let Oct. ; but the papers have not as yet come to hand. Extract ofa letter from New Orleans, dated 22d Aug. : 4 ' " Our city is again a prey to the yellow fever ; the nolo' bee of deaths daily increases. Yesterday there were from 25 to 30, for not more than six weeks. We have bad coo.. tinual rains, which has contributed to extend the fad malady. A friend who visited the Spanish camp yester day, reports that the troops enjoy good health, and are waiting an answer from the Captain-General of Cuba. They must stay here until they receive transports from the Havannah." Accounts from Genoa state, that during the night of the 7th and Bth of October a great storm was experience d there, which lasted from eleven o'clock at night till four o'clock in the morning, and great apprehensions were en tertained for the numerous shipping in the port. Letters from Servia of the let October state, that the Greek and Hebrew houses are purchasing ducats on ac count of the Turkish Government, to pay the war coo' tribution. THE FUNDS. The Causal Market is again lively this morning b e e nt 1 as great abundance of money, and the want of emi. thereof is commerce, causes the capitalists, as well th e public, to pur c hase all descriptions of Fu n d s , by % I /13W' they can obtain a higher interest than discounting at 2 per cent. Consols, which left off yesterday at 911 for Money, and 911 1 for the Account, opened at 9 1 1 for Money, and 911 for the Account, and got up to 911 1 ; since which a slight reaction has taken place, a°' at present may be quoted 911 1 fur the Account. In the Foreign Market all securities are improving ,, caused by the impulse of the British Market; the chi" ' business doing is in Brazil and Portuguese Stocks.

The Consul Market is not so good as in the early part of the morning, when Consols were done at 911 for the Account, and at present they are 9111. This re-action is attributed to parties having realized and pocketed a profit of 11 per cent. Consols for Money at 9111. There has been a great deal of money business transacting. The information given by our contemporaries of an Aus trian loan being contracted for is not a novelty, as we an nounced this event as far back as six weeks ago, when vfe stated that an Austrian loan of Four per Cents. bad be en contracted for by the house of Rothschild, which was not to be made public until a peace took place between the Russians and Turks. In the Foreign market Brazil has been done at 68, sin ce which it has fallen to 671 ; Portuguese have been at 50 1' but are not so good at present. may be quoted THREE 0' CL 0 Cif Consols for Account, 91 1; for Money, 91 Bank Stock, 2151 16/ India 5t0ck,•2221 2231 3 per Cent.
