.FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. : 4 * PARIZ, DEC. 80.—The Duke de Rauzan 6 .appointed Director (Under Secretary of State) -in the office for Foreign Affairs. The Spanish Ambassador has delivere'd a note ,to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in which he • complains of the magistracy of the department of the Eastern Pyrennees having refused to corn ,mtinicate to the Spanish rebels the amnesty per mitting them to return to their homes. Letters from Corfu, dated the 4th of Decem ber, announce the arrival of intelligence from Janina, confirming the beheading of Chourschid Pacha. The order for his execution was brought .to Larissa by a Capidji.Bachi. Another mss- 1 sener of the same description brought an order toJanina for Omar-Vacha to surrender his Pa , chalic of Loner Albania, to which an Asiatic Pacha is to be appointed. It is expected that Omar-Pacha will also be beheaded. . • Yesterday, after mass, the King received the Ministers, M. the Prince de Talleyrand, the Marshals of France, M. the Chancellor, the Grand Referendary of the Chamber of Peers, a great number of the Peers of France, and of the Deputies, and numerous military officers of all ranks. M. the Viscount de Chateaubriand, appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, had yesterday the honour of taking the oath of office before the King. The note presented by M. de Montmorency, says the writer, not having been accepted by his Majesty, M. tie Villele read the official docu ment, which you have seen in the Moniteur. It is said that each Minister had his projet of a note in his portefeuille, and that the one which hud .been drawn by M. Le Garde des Sceaux was the most energetic and the most decisive; it was not read because his Majesty had given his ap. probation to Villele's note before his turn arrived. M. de Montmorency demanded that the French Minister should quit Madrid at the moment when the Ambassadors, of the Allied Powers should be recalled by their Sovereigns. Now the late King of Spain, Charles IV., left his Ambassador at Paris till the catastrophe of the death of Louis XVI., and it was considered important to leave with King Ferdinand at least a Charge d'Affaires ...of the King his cousin, who might aid, in the name of the Government, the Spanish Monarch and the Princes his brothers it was important, also for the dignity of France, that she should act in this matter with perfect independence. All these considerations were expressed in a few words, and with irresistible force. Then M. de Mont morency tendered his resignation. It was agreed to of f er the portefeuille of Foreign Affairs to M. de Chateaubriand. He refused it, positively, distinctly, and without hesitation. He proceeded immediately to the residence of M. de Montmo. reecy : you know that they have been friends for many years it was not believed that they had differed, or that they bad not acted in union at Verona. M. de Chateaubriand repeated his re fusaj three times during the two following days. Re yielded at last to numerous and most power ful solicitations. It seems even that he was not determined to accept the office till after hav ing had, on the evening of the 9.oth, a long con ference with his Majesty. It is not known whether he obtained certain conditions which he required, and which were of a nature to satisfy every Royalist. Some deny it but the greater number are sure they will never have occasion to reproach M. de Chateaubriand. It appears that the Marquis de Pastoret wished to be Graod Veneer, and that it is the Duke de Fitifames who is to succeed M. de Chateau inland In England. They say that M. the Count Reynhard, formerly Secretary to M. the Deputy Chauvelin during his embassy to England, and once the Secretary of the Committee of Public Safety, but now Minister of the King at the Ger manic Diet, &c., will be allowed to retire. M. de Raineval, French Minister at Berlin, will be sent, we are assured, to the United States, and he will be replaced by the Marquis de 'Mustier, Mini ster at Hanover, to whom will succeed the Mar quis de Bourue, superior officer of the (Garde-du- Corps. It was yesterday rumoured that a courier, ar rived from Madrid, had left that capital on the 22d instant in great agitation. It was confidently ; said that the refusal of the King to sanction the decree of the Cortes, respecting the arrest of the conspirators, had excited very serious disorders. J.t is added that he King has been compelled to yield to an artnerf demand made upon him hy the There was a rumour yesterday evening of the arrival of a courier who left Madrid on the 22d December, and who brought the intelligence that , the refusal of the King to sanction the decree of the Cortes relatively to the events of the 7th of July, had excited much tumult in an extraordi nary sitting of the Cortes. It was feared this sitting would have consequences disastrous to the public tranquillity.-- (Gazette de France.) The Courier Francais and the Journal des D bats, mention this rumour, but consider its authenticity as doubtful. The nomination of M. de Chateaubriand was spoken of two days before it was published in the Moniteur. This news sufficed to end all the conjectures, which the public indulged in tiering 24 hours, respecting the partial renewal of the Ministry. Between M. de Chateaubriand and M. de Montmorency, the shade of difference is so slight, that it is not, properly speaking, a change. M. de Chateaubriand, it is said, at Congress de clared himself opposed to war with Spain ; but the articles which he published in the &men:a kar, on the revolution of that kingdom, seems sufficient to indicate that, in his recent opposition, he has rather considered the expediency (l'apro pos) of war, than the principles of justice, policy, and humanity, which should dictate its rejection. lit may be believed, especially looking at the note addressed to our Ambassador at Madrid, that expediency was almost the sole ground which 'influenced the opinion of a portion of the Minis try against war. The question was only consi dered in regard to its expediency ; it was found -that the moment was not favourable, and in the hope that it would `become so, Me right of resum ing a hostile attitude has, perhaps, been reserved. It is thus sthat •the public in general has inter preted the enigmatical note published two days ago in the Moniteur; and hence why the com mercial and manufacturing public feel, that nei ther the retirement of M. de Montmorency, the note of M. de Wide, nor the nomination of M. de Chateauhriand, afford them any security.— They only see in it the continuance of a preca rious state, which may end in chances the most disastrous to their interests.—(Courier Francais.) FRANKFORT, DEC. 24. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) The attention of the public begins to be direct ed from the West to the East and the news from losses. :he Ebro has, during several days past, excited Less interest than that which arrives from the banks of the Danube and the Pruth. The gene ral opinion at Frankfort is, that war between France and Spain will not, immediately at least, take place ; but we begin to doubt the possibility of the maintenance of peace between Russia and the Porte. The last advises from Verona an- nounce that the affairs of the East have been dii- cussed in long ministerial conferences, which were held several days successively. The Em peror Alexander deemed it proper not to be absent during the whole interval of these import ant negociations, and in consequence renounced the project already announced, of visiting Flo rence, Rome, and Naples. At present, this Monarch is hastening his return to the capital of his dominions, where he is desirous to be on the 12th of the next month, to take all the measures which the urgency . of present circumstances de. mends. Some of the meditated measures have, it is affirmed, already been concerted with the other Sovereigns. All the orders of the Russian Ca. binet, during the meeting of the Congress of Verona, and dispatched, whether to St. Peters. _ . burgh or to tire ilifferent - Chiefs of the corps can• toned on the frontiers of Turkey, were of a na ture to induce a belief that war might every moment break out. It is not less true, that new negociatious have been opened at Constantinople, in order to re. establish harmony between the two Empires; but little hope is entertained, especially since the recent revolution of the Seraglio, that they will bring about a satisfactory result. It is affirmed, on the other hand, that at the Congress of Ve rona a remarkable approximation has operated between the Cabinets of St. Petersburgh and St. James. The deceased Marquis of Londonderry was, as is known, entirely devoted to Ottoman legitimacy, and the most faithful Ally of the Mussulman. His successor, Mr. Canning, now acts, it is said, upon more Christian sentiments. $ Some politicians even would not be surprised to see England soon making common cause with Russia, and acting hostilely against the Sublime Porte, which rejects all mediation.—(Courier Frangais.) UNITED STATES OF THE lONIAN ISLES. [EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. LEUCADE (SANTA IVIAURA), DEC. 6. metvl.—Chours chid Pacha, suspected of having plundered the treasures of the famous Ali Pacha, of Janina, has just forfeited his head, in consequence of this accusation, whether just or not. A Ca pidgi-bachi, who arrived at Larissa on the 16th November with a Finnan from his Highness, was present at the execution of this Vicier, who was long the pride , of his master. lie was worthy of a better fate. " By another Finnan, Omer Brionis, Pacha of Janina, for merly a Lieutenant of Ali Tobelin, is dismissed, and sum moned to Constantinople, to give an account of the-treasures of Ali, and to receive (it is said) a command in the army destined to act against the Persians. It is already known as .certain that he will not obey this order ; but no one knows where he can find an asylum, except In the lonian Isles, far the Alba. nians are much exasperated against him. " Another Firman:enjoins Tahir Abas,.Pacta of Pasarnythia and Ilaga Illouhartla.(the Treasurer of Ali) to appear at Con stantinople; instead of complying with this mandate, these Chiefs declared themselves in open insurrection. A Capidgi hachl, who was sent to Prevesa, to 'bring away the head of flekir Giocador, commandant of that place, was fired at, and compelled•to retreat. Epirus may thus be considered as a prey to anarchy, for the Acroceraunians, who hitherto were tranquil, have just proclaimed their independence." Coaru, DEc.23.--In the middle of Septern ber, the Pacha of Janina; Omer Brione, joined his troops to those of three other Paellas, Reehlti Whined, Ahmed Massa, and Hassan, Pacha of Lepanto, and with the Turkish and Albanian forces combined,'advanced to the frontiers of Epirus. He there began to combat the Greeks, not by arms, but by a" deceitful policy. The plan was suggested to him by the per nicious Councils of some European agents, more pernicious to the Greeks than the Turks themselves. The English Consul at Provesa, M. Meyer, voluntarily undertook to conduct all these little intrigues, by which they hoped to bring back the Greek Chiefs to obedience to what is still called their legiti. mate Government. M. Meyer even replied to reproaches made to him by some friends of humanity and justice, that he only conformed to the instructions of his Ambassador, Lord Strang ford. In spite of the long effort of these agents, nothing could be' obtained but the neutrality of one of these chiefs, whose firm ness was shaken by measures for putting to death his son, who hail been for two years hostage at Janina. This chief, Varna kiote, drew with him two superior officers, but was soon aban doned by his soldiers. The other Chiefs repulsed with indig nation all proposals. Omer Brione then resolved to try the fortune of arms, and marched against Etolia. On his approach the inhabitants, of their own accord, burnt the villages and towns, and transported their provisions into the mountains or to Missolonghi. The bridge of Ala Bey was then broken down, and that of Angelo Castron put in a condi tion, of defence. The most advantageous positions were occu pied by Guerillas, and the mass of the Greek army assembled in the neighbourhood of Missolonghi, and the passages lead ing to Lepanto. At these two points which the enemy chiefly coveted, they waited fur him with confidence. At the sight of this devastation two old Albanian Chiefs of consummate experience perceived the firm resolution of the Greeks, and wished to persuade Omer of the danger to which he would expose his army and his military reputation. 'While they continued to give. he reasons of their opinions, he inter rupted them roughly and said, " I should be no longer Ileione, the Conqueror if the English, if I did not disperse like sheep all these troops and your fierce Greek Guerillas." This I'acha is fond of assuming this title of Conqueror of the Eng llsh, because he commanded the Albaniawarmy which in 11107 defeated at Abou-Moittouf in Egypt, the English of whom het mach an horrible massacre. The two old Chiefs on this proud answer of their Commander bowed respectfully and withdrew. ° The next day, October 25, the orders were given, and the! Mussulman army, divided into separate columns, passed the Achelous on two points.' The first, commanded by Omer Pacha in person, left Machalos, and marched for the ruins-of Vrachori. The second, under Itichid Pasha, passed the river near the sea above Cutochi ; but, near Stamna, the passage wart warmly disputed by the Greeks, who repulsed it on two din ' rent attacks. After many ineffectual movements, the two Turkish Commanders determined to unite again, which .they, effected afterwards, after efforts which cost them great At the head of this combined army the Turkish Generals conducted five consecutive attacks on Alissolonghi. This place had for its defence only a ditch, which Maurocordatos had re cently dug across the long causeway which leads to the town. Fifteen hundred Greeks, commanded by the same Nan. rocordatos and the intrepid Bozaris, constantly repulsed from this intrenchment all the attacks of the Turks with consider able loss. The enemy then turned his attention on Anatolicon, a little island placed in the midst of the lagtinct and the arm of the sea of Missolonghl, but Galanis, at the head of five hun dred men, stationed on this island, defeated all these at.. tempts. After these ill-fated operations, Omer Pacha marched oh the 1 pans of Caki-Scala to open a passage, and establish commu-1 nications with Lepanto. The two Stratarchs, Macrys and Zongos, who defended the defile, attacked him with vigour, made 700 Albanians bite the dust, and the remainder com pletely routed. Things were in this state when the Greeks received reinforce ments from the Canton of Arapha and the environs of Thor 'mopyla3. They then attacked the enemy on Nov. 17, not far from Statnnia. At first the Turks sustained the attack with great vigour, but at length Bozaris and Zongos, who com manded the wings of the Greek army, brought forward their corps, and by a most animated attack on the flanks of the ene my, decided the fortune of the day. The greatest disorder im mediately prevailed in the Turkish army, which from that mo ment sought its► safety in flight. Pursued as far as the Ache lout, they lost a great number of men in that river, who were drowned in attempting to cross it. The Turks were then harrassed in their way to Acarnania, -where they met with more losses. Finally they arrived in the very worst condition at Mho, near Macrynoros, from where they re-entered Epirus. P.S. (DEc. 4.)---We have received to-day from Prevesa and .tinitia the news of a Capidi-bachi having arrived at Larissa, and caused the head of Chourschid Pacha to be cut oft: Another arrived at Janina, has declared Omer niche to be dismissed from his pachalic of Lower Albania, to which the Divan has appointed an Asiatic Pacha, called Abud:Pacha. It is added, that Omer's head is to be cut off on his arrival at Janina. The same Cupidt-baelii is appointed to conduct the Albanian Chiefs to Constantinople, and particularly Tahic-Al bas, Hago-Mouhourdar, Belichter et Bekir-Zogadoro. The latter, who commands at Prevesa, has already replied to the Capidi-baclii who came to arrest him, by several shot, and has declared against the Porte. The same Turkish officer has brought three firmans ; the first exacts from all the inhabitants the silver vessels at very low prices ; the second imposes on the Canton of Janina a con tribution of 400 purses, (200,000 piastres) for the repairs of some strong Place which is not named.; the third requires the former inhabitants of Janina to leave all their places nfrefbge, and return.into the town.—( Constilutionnel.) SPAIN. MADRID, DECEMBER 21. Everyeffort and project is exhausted to obtain money. The plan of M. Surra, which has been submitted to the Junta of Credit, consists in pro curing for the Government four hundrecknillions in cash, 'but on condition of a creation of eighty new millions of Tentes , inscribed in the great book. The following is what he proposes .:—He desires that to obtain the said four hundred. millions, the Government should acknowledge one thousand six hundred millions of the ancient debt, of that which bears:at least 4 per cent. interest. Thus, each subscriber would receive, for his delivery of one hundred reels in paper, and twenty-five reels in cash, five reels of inscribed route, which is an impracticable operation, and which, besides, would throw the finances of Spain into a much greater chaos than they now are. The consti tuted debt of Spain, which is already out of all proportion with the resources of the country, would absorb every thing if the plan of M. Surra were adopted. The following is an extract of a letter written from Bayonne by the Royalist :General Charles O'Donnel, to his brother the Count de l'Abisbal, who serves in the army styled Constitutional. It is dated the Ist of September, previously to the departure of this General to take the corn mend of the Army of the Faith " You have just been nominated Inspector of Infantry, in the Army styled National, and it is natural. that in this new ca pacity your actions will be in accordance with those which gained you notoriety in 1820. You then forgot what you owed to the King—we were five brothers, whom his Majesty deigned to.admit into his service; you forgot the distinctions with which he honoured us in a hazardous career, when the throne rendered powerless the arrows with which envy assailed us; you forgot, finally, the confidence that Ferdinand had placed in you, since you have turned against him the arms which he had given you to defend him. You have been equally ungrateful towards your country, and you will answer to it for the evils which you have occasioned, when it was in your power to have averted them. You have basely deceived the King, by means of the most solemn promises, and thrown yourself into the province of La Mancha, to intercept couriers, and fi►rce the peaceable inhabitants to proclaim that infamous consti tution which will soon terminate their moral and cal existence. We are still four brothers, who now share justice and odium, according as we rank with the King and his enemies. Joseph and myself happily belong to the class of faithful subjects, and Alexander and you have sold yourselves to the regicidal faction, composed of the basest and most criminal men. _ For ourselves, we have sworn never to have any fellowship with two brothers whom we renounce, and whose names ought to be obliterated from our genealogy. Come and give us battle, we await you firmly ;- but know that Joseph and Charles O'Donnel will preserve unsullied the honour of an illustrious house, which Alex:m(la and Henry are endeavouring to tarnish. The day will arrive when you will seek us, the day will arrive when you will al. , ,ain desire to abuse the goodness of the best and most beloved of Kings ; but it will be too late, and your beads shall expiate all the crimes which you have committed. For ourselves, we defend the cause of God, the rights of the throne, and the real libetty of the coun try ; but you defend oppressalon, immomlty, and irreligion.— , Alas ! I have said enough. .11lay God recal you, my dear Henry, to better sentiments. (Signed) " CHARLES O'DONNEL." IREL,A.,N.D. ,FROM TNT bUBLIN CORRESPOirDEITT OF DEC. !& ATTACK ON THE 31ARQUIS WELLESLEY. -Yesterday several Addresses were presented to his Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT at the Phcenix Park, and at Dublin Castle. The first in importance is that of the Clem , of the esta blished Church. The Deputation was most re spectable. There were present the Archbishop of Dublin, the Bishop of Kildare, and Dean of St. Patrick's, (Deans of the two Cathedrals,) the Clergy of the two Chapters, and many others of the Clergy of Dublin and its vicinity. The Ad dress was read by the Archbishop of Dublin, with an impressiveness and perspicuity which was much admired by his Grace's auditory. The Answer of his Excellency was delivered with that dignified and earnest tone and manner, which characterised the delivery of the whole of the eloquent replies to the several Addresses presented to him on the occasion of the recent outrage. We insert the Address and Answer : To his Excellency the Marquis WELLESLEY, Lord Lieute- nant General and General Governor of Ireland, &e. &c. &c. We, the Archbishop of Dublin, the Deans and Chapters of the two Cathedrals, the Archdeacons and Clergy of Dublin and its Vicinity, beg leave to approach your Excellency with senti ments of the sincerest attachment and respect. As Ministers of peace, we hold it not unsuited to our sacred profession to come forward on the present occasion, openly to express the deep regret and unqualified disgust with which we regard the late atrocious outrage committed at the Theatre on your Excellency's person--an outrage which could have origi nated only with persons of the most ferocious and abandoned character, since none others could have been so infatuated as to insult the dignity, and endanger the person of a Viceroy, illus trious by his distinguished talents and his pre-eminent public service ; and now when called by our Gracious Sovereign to the Government of Ireland, faithfully employing the powers with which he is entrusted, and the talents with which he is en dowed, to promote its peace and its prosperity, with an ardour of zeal which no labour can weary, and with a warmth of affec- ' tion for his native land which, we are persuaded, no ingratitude can extinguish. We cannot, indeed, too deeply lament the prevalence of that spirit of insubordination and discord, and that contempt of established rule, which at present so extensively disturb and de. plorably disgrace this country—a spirit which 'has of late been excited, with more than usual malignity and audacity, to vilify the character and degrade the dignity of the most exalted authorities. For the subjugation of this destructive spirit, we look with humble confidence to that Divine Providence which enables those who follow its guidance to overcome evil with good, and which, we trust, will employ the wisdom, the firmness, and the conciliating of youf zeellency's Povernment, with the sound sense and il 1 01 0 : 11 e4 10 )444 of great body of our 6110W.SUb. jects, to restore obediencq to the 4 ws , respec t f or s o c i a l or d er , and the invaluable blessings of union and tranquillity. To promote this.happy result by 'your instructions, our in• fiuence, and our example, we are mire, that; as the Ministers of Religionove are peculiarly bound; and we take the liberty to assure your l xcellency, that, with the Divine assistance, such shall be our constant and zealous endeavours, convinced that in thus acting we shall fulfil a duty which we owe to ourselves, our King, our Country, and our God. WILLIAM DUBLIN, for Self and Clergy. ANSWER. NYELLIESI.EY.—I shall ever esteem it as one of the most happy and honourable circumstances of my life, that I hare obtained the respect anfiattachment of so great and distinguish ed a portion of the united Church of Ireland, placed under the Pastoral authority of one of its brightest ornaments, by the pro. , vident care of our beloved Sovereign. Your reprobation of the lawless acts which have been corn. wafted, becomes the character of the Alinisters of Christian charity and religious duty. No misconduct on my part could justify such deeds of out rage; I am not conscious of any failure of affection or duty, which could even palliate them in the eyes of man or God. Confident In tile general loyalty, justice, and benevolent spirit of the Irish nation, the recent occurrences have neither shaken my innate love of my country, nor my resolution to serve it withost relaxation and without fear. The calamities of insubordination and discord, which you so justly lament, cannot be subdued by any other course or Administration than that which you recommend. By temper, firmness, and con ciliation, we may hope to restore whatever had been injured in the f abric of our society, and to acquire additional sew. rities for all the blessings of good Government and general content. In this truly Christian and religious work the assistance which you offer is accepted by me with the most sincere satis. faction. May our united effbrts prosper under the favour of 111 at who is the fountain of all earthly peace and concord ; and whose highest glory and power are tampered by good will towards man. FEMALE BEAUTY AND ORNAMENTS. The Ladies in Japan gild their teeth ; and those of the Indies paint them red. The pearl of teeth must be dyed black to be beautiful in Guzurar. In Greenland the women colour their faces with blue and yellow. However fresh the complexion of a Muscovite may be, she would think herself very ugly if she was not plastered over with paint. The Chinese must have their fret as diminutive as those of the she-goats ; and to render them thus, their youth is passed in tortures. In ancient Persia, an aquiline nose was often thought worthy of the crown; and if there was any compe. tition between two princes, the people generally went by this criterion of Majesty. In some countries, the mothers break the noses of their children ; anti in others press the head between two boards, that it may become square.- -The modern Persians have a strong aversion to red hair: the Turks, on the contrary, are warm admirers of it. The female Hottentot receives from the hand of her lover, not silks nor wreaths of flowers, but warm guts and reeking tripe, to dress herself with enviable ornaments. In China, small round eyes are liked; and the girls are continually plucking their eye. brows that they may be thin and long. The Turkish women dip a gold brush in the tincture of a black drug, which they pass over their eye-brows. It is too visible by day, but looks shining by night. They tinge their nails with a rose-colour. An African beauty must have small eyes, thick lips, a large fiat nose, and a skin beautifully black. The emperor of Monomotapa would not change his amiabl e re g r ess for the most brilliant littropean beauty. .An ornament for the nose appears to us perfectly unnecessary. The Peruvians, however, think otherwise; and they hang on it a weighty ring, the thick. ness of which is proportioned by the rank of their husbands. —The custom of boring it, as our Ladies do their eats, is very common in several nations. Through the perforation are hung various materials ; such as green crystal, gold, stones, a single and sometimes a great number of gold rings. This is rather troublesome to them in blowing their noses; and the fact is, some have informed us, that the 'lndian ladies never perform this very useful operation.._. The female head-dress is carried in some countries to sin. gular extravagance. The Chinese fair carries on her head the figure of a certain bird. This bird is composed of copper, or of gold, according to the quality of the person ; the wings spread out, fall over the front of the head .dress, and conceal the temples. The tail, long and open, forms a beautiful tuft of feathers.—The beak covers the top of the nose ; the neck is fastened to the body of the artificial animal by a spring, that it may the more freely play, and tremble at the slightest mo tion. The extravagance of the Myantses is far more ridiculous than the . above. They carry on their iteuls a slight board, rather longer than a foot, and about six inches broad: with this they cover their hair, and seal it with wax. They cannot lie down, nor lean, without keeping the neck straight ; anti the country being very woody, it is not uncommon to find them with their head . dress entangled in the trees. Whenever they comb their hair, they puss an hour by the fire in melting the wax ; but this ' combing is only performed once or twice a-year. The inhabit. ants of the land of Natal wear caps, or bonnets, from 6 to It) . inches high, composed of the tat of oxen. They then gradually anoint the bead with a purer grease, which mixing with the hair, fastens these bonnets for their lives.—(Curlosities of Literature.) : " : 7: ...:. 2 . - ----' -# l , 1 i' ri.
